Chapter 142: The Ancient Savage World, Long Aotian
"Senior Brother, the Master is inside. Please come in."
Ye Luoying thanked the little boy who led the way, then calmly walked into the small bamboo house.
As the leader, he did not meet him in the main hall, but instead summoned him into this small house. Ye Luoying found the meaning behind this quite interesting.
It seems that this is most likely not the worst-case scenario Aruo mentioned. However, it is not ruled out that the leader has other plans...
Ye Luoying's thoughts were racing as he calculated the possible subsequent scenarios one by one and considered the reactions and actions he should take.
As soon as he stepped into the house, the fragrance of tea wafted out. When Ye Luoying smelled this fragrance, he felt refreshed and his spirits were lifted.
He suddenly realized that this tea must be a rare treasure in the world, and the possibility that the leader of the Xiantian Sect did not recognize his identity increased further.
Inside the tea room, a handsome man in white clothes and white hair poured tea and drank it by himself. He had slanted eyebrows, an indifferent look in his eyes, and an aura as unfathomable as the clouds in the sky.
Ye Luoying paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
The leader gently put down the exquisite teacup, which made a clear sound on the table made of lightning-struck wood. He asked, "Why are you surprised?"
Facing his question, Ye Luoying did not feel restrained. Instead, she said boldly, "I heard from Sister Saint that the Master is a solemn and serious person. I didn't expect that after meeting him today, he would be like this..."
He blushed and stammered a few words without saying anything.
Hearing this, the leader curled his lips. This smile diluted some of his unattainable divine aura and added a bit of worldly air. He shook his head helplessly:
"If it were that girl, she wouldn't say anything good about me, forget it."
"She's been detained in the sect for the past few years and has complained a lot about me. She's not close to other disciples in the sect either. I never thought she would say these things to you."
Ye Luoying smiled foolishly and touched his head. He said blankly, "I also felt that I hit it off with Sister Saint from the first sight. To be honest with you, Master, the first time I saw Sister Saint, I felt that I must have seen her before."
The leader did not comment. He poured a cup of tea for Ye Luoying, slightly bent his fingers, and the teacup floated into the air and slowly floated in front of Ye Luoying.
"This is a pot of tea made with Bodhi leaves and the clearest water from the springs of Tianshan Mountain. It tastes good and is worth a try." Wisps of smoke from the incense burner concealed the leader's vague expression. His waist-length snow-white hair swayed slightly with his movements.
"Thank you, Master!"
Ye Luoying smiled brightly, took the teacup, and drank it without hesitation. At the end, he smacked his lips and said, "Master, it seems to have no taste."
The leader of tea lovers: ...
He glanced at Ye Luoying indifferently. Ye Luoying seemed to have noticed nothing. She smiled brightly and sincerely, looking at the Master eagerly, and said hesitantly, "Master, can I have another drink? I didn't taste the flavor just now."
Perhaps he couldn't bear to see Ye Luoying waste the fine tea like this, so the leader changed the subject and asked, "I heard that you have obtained the True Immortal inheritance?"
Ye Luoying said embarrassedly: "Master, I am just lucky."
"No need to be modest. Being able to obtain the inheritance of a True Immortal is a testament to your strength. We in the Xiantian Sect have always valued disciples with real talent and knowledge."
"Hehe, Master, you are too kind." Having said that, Ye Luoying's face still showed a bit of pride and complacency.
"I wonder if I can know the content of the True Immortal inheritance you received. Don't worry about anything else. I just want to know the name."
Ye Luoying said with a naive look: "Master, if you want to know, of course you can. The inheritance I obtained from the True Immortal is a precious technique called the Nine Transformations of the Immortal King."
"The Nine Transformations of the Immortal King...?" the leader murmured. For a moment, Ye Luoying saw the leader's true disappointment. His expression remained unchanged, and he kept this point firmly in his mind.
The leader quickly calmed down and nodded, "Yes, this is a prestigious and prestigious technique. When cultivated to the ninth level, it can create magical powers. In ancient times, an Immortal King of the Jiang family once used this technique to kill eight venerables in a row."
Ye Luoying was delighted: "I didn't expect this magic to be so powerful. Thank you for your guidance, Master!"
The leader pondered for a moment and said, "With your strength, you can enjoy the treatment of a personal disciple. However, half of the followers above the level of Heavenly God in the sect are no longer in the sect. In this case..."
He raised his hand, and a small token appeared in his palm.
"The school within the sect is no longer suitable for you. This token allows you to freely enter the library below the fourth floor. During this period, you can read as many books as you want in the library."
Ye Luoying was immediately filled with gratitude, and even after he left the bamboo room for a long time, her face was still full of excitement and gratitude.
"Could it be...I am too nervous?"
The leader removed the water curtain. He pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "The Immortal Execution Sword can annihilate both the body and the soul. Even a saint cannot escape it. It's just a slight resemblance. Even the celestial phenomena didn't give any warning. Perhaps I'm just being too suspicious."
The most important thing right now is to avoid disaster.
The leader tapped the wooden table with his fingers, gathering all the information of the nine heavens and ten earths into his mind.
"It's still not enough, this destiny of the heavens..."
Behind the swirling clouds, the immortal with picturesque features sighed softly.
Ye Luoying, happily holding the tea given by the leader, suddenly brightened up: "Sister!"
Luo Nan, who was about to escape, stopped casting the spell, knowing she couldn't escape. She adjusted her skirt as if nothing had happened and emphasized, "I was just passing by here. I'm not worried about what that old man might do to you."
Ye Luoying felt sweet in her heart: "I knew that my sister cared about me the most."
"No! I told you it's on the way!" Luo Nan got angry.
Ye Luoying nodded: "Yeah, I know, my sister just came to see me on the way."
Luo Nan was finally satisfied. She glanced at the tea leaves in Ye Luoying's arms and was surprised: "He actually gave this to you!"
I didn’t realize that the old man admires you so much.
Luo Nan swallowed these words, her expression subtle. She thought secretly: It seems that she was worrying too much. The old man probably won't do anything to him.
Ye Luoying was curious: "Sister, the leader is obviously a handsome young man, why do you call him..."
Luo Nan rolled his eyes: "The old man is very bad, don't be fooled by him, forget it, what am I telling you, I'm leaving."
She really left as she said, and Ye Luoying did not chase her. He looked at Luo Nan's back, and his expression gradually became complicated.
He frowned. He had originally thought that Luo Nan knew nothing, trapped here due to a memory loss for some reason. Now it seemed that Luo Nan might know something... For example, secrets related to the leader and the Xiantian Sect...
"I'm telling you, you got away with it this time because of good luck, and also because of my superb magic skills. That's why you were able to deceive the world and get past the leader. But such good luck only happens once every eight hundred years... Hey! Did you listen to me?"
Aruo was furious.
Ye Luoying raised his head from his thoughts and suddenly said, "Senior Sister Aruo..."
Hearing this boy call her "Senior Sister" for the first time, Aruo was startled, and her anger suddenly subsided. She put her hands on her hips and smiled, "Tell me, what's the matter with calling you Senior Sister Aruo?"
"Sister, I heard from Sister Jie Xinyan that the Broken Star Pavilion and the Heaven-Suppressing Valley were once from the same sect. Could I hear a little about the reason behind this?"
Aruo didn't expect Ye Luoying to want to know about this. She touched her chin and said, "Although Senior Sister doesn't allow me to tell anyone, but your identity is special, and..."
"I don't think this is something that needs to be kept secret..." She muttered a few words, then cleared her throat with a serious expression, "This story started a long, long time ago."
"Actually, you probably have some guesses. In ancient times, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the four regions of the Desolate Realm were originally one. At that time, there was only one piece of land on earth, surrounded by the sea. This land was called Pangu Land."
"In that era, immortals were still around, and pure-blooded ferocious beasts were everywhere. What we now call the Supremes were just slightly larger ants back then, and there were many stronger beings than them."
"Later, a great war destroyed all of this. This war lasted for a long time. According to ancient records, to resist this war, all races overcame their differences and fought fiercely. The blood dyed the sky red. Many powerful people fell, the earth collapsed, and even the world was torn apart. Slowly, the current structure of the upper and lower realms was formed."
"But what we do know is that there are more fragments that have drifted outside the world, but they are no longer traceable."
Aruo shook his head regretfully.
"The enemies of that war didn't leave behind a single word in any ancient text. I can confirm this: absolutely nothing. But that's not the point. After that war, a hole was torn in this world."
"It's broken...a hole" Ye Luoying hesitated.
"Yes, a hole has been broken. The world's luck is constantly draining away, and the rules are scattered. As a result, the world no longer allows immortality. In fact, the highest realm allowed by this world has been declining. Now, even saints cannot be found."
Aruo sighed, "Perhaps one day, the world's spiritual energy will fade, and the so-called gods will become legends, and no one will embark on the path of cultivation anymore."
"The Xiantian Sect was born from this. Its true teachings are not about saving the common people, but literally about mending the sky, repairing the remnants of the heavenly way, and reshaping the path to becoming an immortal."
When Ye Luoying heard this for the first time, she was extremely shocked.
"There's no doubt about mending the sky, but there are two different ways to do it: one is to cut the sky, and the other is to defy the will of heaven. Cutting the sky involves harnessing the power of cause and effect, the force of destiny, and following the path of destiny to become a saint. One breaks through the limitations of the world and uses one's own body to mend the flaws in the heavens."
Ye Luoying's eyes flickered, and he slowly said, "The Xiantian Sect is now taking this path."
"That's right. And there's no cause and effect greater than the collapse of a world." Aruo sighed, "The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Ancient World are now... getting closer and closer."
"When the time comes, heaven and earth will collide, and there will inevitably be casualties everywhere."
Ye Luoying was puzzled: "What's the point of doing this?"
"You don't cultivate karma, so you naturally don't know its mysteries. The power of karma is vast and boundless, all-powerful. When heaven and earth collide, the dead races release vast spiritual energy. This will be the moment when heaven and earth are most abundant in spiritual energy since ancient times. The power of karma will dissipate here. Anyone with great luck who can inherit the power of heaven and earth can achieve immortality through this."
Ye Luoying was horrified: "To be able to carry the destiny of an entire world, how enormous must that be? How could it possibly be concentrated in one person!"
"Yeah, how is it possible..." Aruo's expression was complicated, as if he was amazed and at the same time regretful. "Originally, this was an impossible path, but there was an amazing genius who created an amazing technique that could steal the luck of others."
"If one person isn't enough, what about a hundred people, ten thousand people... or even tens of billions of people?"
Ye Luoying keenly noticed the indistinct emotions in her words, and he remained silent.
Aruo didn't need his answer. She just said to herself, "This genius is the founder of my Broken Star Pavilion."
She was lost in thought.
"So... the leader of the Xiantian Sect is currently doing just that."
"Every successive leader of the Xiantian Sect has done this. This applies to both finding exceptionally gifted children and cultivating prodigies. The concept of destiny is a very vague one. Destiny and fate are like twins, and karma is the blood that connects them. The Xiantian Sect... has always been exploring, exploring the boundaries of destiny."
"And the luck of a genius is often greater than that of ten thousand ordinary people combined. Genius, in its truest form, possesses a unique bloodline, cultivation techniques, physique, and supernatural powers... Luck can be fine-tuned. In short, this aspect of life is very complicated. If I were to explain it clearly, I could talk all day and all night and still not finish."
"Becoming an immortal..." Ye Luoying closed his eyes. The moment he opened them again, they were as bright as the sun in the sky, shining brightly. He said firmly, "If this is the only way to become an immortal, then I would rather not become an immortal!"
Aruo was startled, then his expression became moved: "Great kindness!"
【Author’s words】
Sob, sob, sob.
Yesterday, I wrote a note for leave because I overturned the plan for the second time at 11 o'clock. I felt that I could not finish the article. In fact, I started again at 12 o'clock and successfully made it to 2 o'clock. Then I found the error again this morning. But it seems that the note for leave was not sent successfully.
Well, I say this just to play the victim and beg for forgiveness. Our teacher said that when you discover a huge mistake at the end of the project but it is too late to correct it, you can sincerely apologize to him in the final summary, and then he will decide whether to forgive our mistake.
Now, I sincerely apologize to my little angel, woo woo woo.
Finally, I will be free from suffering soon, really!
Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
