The cold wind scatters withered leaves, leaving the Hengduan Mountains desolate.
Starting in October, Lin Hongluan accompanied Li Mu on frequent trips back and forth to this place.
After observing the Xu family's teleportation array multiple times and finding no signs of it being activated, Li Mu began to worry.
Frequent travel between the two places, yet unable to make any changes, leaves one with a feeling of utter exhaustion and helplessness.
Sometimes, they can't even say a word all day.
Lin Hongluan saw it all and felt a pang of pain in her heart.
For her, Li Mu was her everything, but her husband's heart still belonged to someone else.
She could have avoided accompanying Li Mu on his journeys back and forth, and she wouldn't have felt so heartbroken.
During her journey with Li Mu, she felt sorry for Li Mu, but also for herself.
It's a very complex emotion, with a sense of self-inflicted suffering and an indication of magnanimity in relationships.
She told herself more than once that if she loved him, she should love everything about him, including the fact that there was someone else in his heart.
Seeing her husband exhausted from trying to see another woman time and time again, she realized that she wasn't as magnanimous as she thought.
She sympathized with Yue Ling, but sympathy was not the reason for her open-mindedness towards relationships.
Ever since she learned about the relationship between Li Mu and Yue Ling, she had imagined the current situation.
She couldn't find fault with anyone in the relationship between the three of them.
Compared to Yue Ling, she had told herself that she had already received enough; at least she had a daughter.
The reason she insisted on giving birth was because, deep down, she felt that Li Mu might leave.
Now, the possibility of Li Mu leaving is slowly increasing.
People often say that no one is indispensable, but she knows that she cannot live without Li Mu.
If she were to switch places with Yue Ling, she knew she would go crazy without Li Mu by her side.
.
Let's go.
Li Mu returned empty-handed once again from the Hengduan Mountains.
On the flying sword, I felt the softness behind me and the hands that were holding me tighter and tighter.
He was well aware of Lin Hongluan's thoughts; however, he saw everything and kept it to himself.
After many years of marriage, some things don't need to be said, because saying them can be hurtful.
He couldn't possibly provoke his current partner while searching for another lover.
Lin Hongluan had done enough, but Yue Ling was equally important to him.
He didn't know why he had lived his life this way in this lifetime, constantly preoccupied with worries and burdened by the traces of the Dao.
Perhaps, this is what life is all about.
His life now is a miserable existence, even a complete mess.
Some say that if you want to be unhappy for the rest of your life, marry two wives.
It seems his prediction came true, unfortunately.
The key issue is that he regrets that his two wives couldn't live together.
He cannot abandon any of them.
He preferred a family reunion to the fact that he couldn't establish his foundation here.
Cultivating the Tao is difficult, more difficult than ascending to heaven.
He thought he could reunite his family.
After returning home, the young couple had a long talk.
This conversation was less about comforting Lin Hongluan and more about him releasing his own inner turmoil.
After that, Lin Hongluan did not accompany him on his journeys back and forth in the Hengduan Mountains.
November arrived in the blink of an eye.
The Xu family's teleportation array was supposed to open between August and October, but that opening time has now passed.
Li Mu felt he could no longer passively wait for the Xu family's teleportation array to open.
He started looking for solutions with the large teleportation array.
He set up a larger teleportation array around the area, attracting even more spiritual energy.
He knew this wasn't enough, but he wanted to try activating the formation with spirit stones on the night of the full moon.
He wasn't sure if he could activate the teleportation array, so just in case, he made some arrangements after returning home.
He left the refined cultivation pills and resources at home.
He was confident that even if he entered Shenzhou, he could get out through the barrier, but he still had to be careful.
.
November, the night of the full moon.
Li Mu returned to the Hengduan Mountains.
After entering the teleportation array, he placed several thousand spirit stones in advance into the eight positions of the teleportation array.
Then stand still on the teleportation platform and wait for the right moment.
As time passed, he seized a fleeting opportunity.
He condensed the spiritual energy within his body into eight streams and unleashed them in eight directions to stimulate the burst of spiritual energy within the spirit stones.
"Boom boom boom..."
A loud bang was heard, and the spirit stone was activated.
As the spirit stone exploded, a large amount of spiritual energy was drawn by the spirit-gathering array and shot towards the eight slots of the teleportation array.
"boom!"
Another muffled thud was heard, and the teleportation array was activated.
Before Li Mu could even feel joy, his entire body disappeared from the teleportation platform as the teleportation array activated.
Unlike the last teleportation, this time, Li Mu felt dizzy and his body was being severely torn apart by space.
If one had not cultivated martial arts and tempered their body, they would most likely have been torn apart by the formation.
Even so, covered in blood, he was thrown out of the teleportation array within the Divine Continent.
"Smack!"
With a splash of water, he fell into the water.
Black Mud Lake.
Before he could figure out why he was in Black Mud Lake, a group of three-eyed crocodiles had already swum over.
Severely injured, with only one-tenth of his spiritual energy remaining, he was also being eyed by a group of three-eyed crocodiles with gaping jaws.
This is hellish teleportation!
.
When Yue Ling received the teleportation notification, it was already mid-November.
She waited in Fuxing City for more than two months, just so she could reunite with Li Mu.
For this, she refined hundreds of batches of pills for the Xu family. Although the Xu family repeatedly offered her payment, she refused.
She only accepted the gift of a pill-making furnace from the Xu family.
According to the Xu family, this is a cauldron that has been treasured for many years, also known as the Shennong Cauldron.
She couldn't tell whether this alchemy furnace was good or bad, but it felt more ancient than the furnace she used for refining pills.
I stayed at the Xu family's house for two days. As the Xu family said, teleportation was possible, but I had to guarantee that I could return.
In order to see her husband, she agreed.
She would agree even if it was just to meet Li Mu once.
To her surprise, Li Mu had already fallen into the Black Mud Lake when she stepped onto the teleportation array.
The two completely missed each other.
After exiting the teleportation array, Yue Ling carefully put away the teleportation jade pendant and the furnace.
With hope and excitement on their faces, they emerged from the bushes.
This place is very different from the Central Plains; you can feel that the spiritual energy here is much thinner.
She had heard her husband say that he came from Jiangcheng in China.
As for where Jiangcheng is? I'll have to ask someone.
After stepping onto the flying sword, she flew in a random direction.
To her surprise, she hadn't flown very far when she saw another female cultivator also riding a flying sword.
When she used her divine sense to see who it was, the other person was also looking at her.
The two women were both taken aback when they met.
Yue Ling thought this woman was unbelievably beautiful, even more so than in the photos.
So much so that she had to shout out in excitement:
"Sister Hongluan!"
