A very faint pale blue light clung to the sword's surface; if you disregarded the current environment, it would still look like a fine sword.
Seeing the two big brothers swimming towards his Crimson Sky, Xu Qian couldn't help but feel nervous—this was an orange-tier weapon, it shouldn't be gone after just a couple of bites, right?
As he had hoped, the Crimson Lotus from JX3 did not suffer the same fate as the previous swords. Not only was its spiritual energy not consumed, but the two fish were even kept out of the flowing light.
Xu Qian was happy, but the two fish were not so happy. They turned their heads and swam away.
Because of their departure, he was plunged into darkness again. However, Xu Qian was much calmer than before. He began to seriously consider a question: Where is this place?
He was quite certain that he had retrieved the Crimson Lotus while crossing the desert, but if it had returned, then what was going on here?
Could there be a second Crimson Lotus? Or perhaps a time traveler?
No, that's not right. Putting aside how low the probability is that so many coincidences are exactly the same, there's also the Hidden Moon Sect. Surely that can't be a coincidence.
Just as Xu Qian was deep in thought, the two fish that had just left returned, followed by a string of lanterns, which looked particularly magnificent at first glance.
Then... they all swam toward Xu Qian's Crimson Lotus in unison, though they still couldn't break through the barrier of the flowing light.
Xu Qian stopped paying attention to the group of fish, because the arrival of the fish finally allowed him to see his surroundings more clearly. This was indeed a sword mound, and even a rather large one, with no exceptions in sight.
In Jiuyue, the Sword Tomb is equivalent to the tombstone of a sword cultivator.
In other words, this is a graveyard, a graveyard for sword cultivators.
And this also includes his Crimson Lotus.
...
"Friend? Wake up, wake up..."
Xu Qian shook his head, and just as he was about to open his eyes, the sudden brightness made him squint. It took him a while to recover.
"Are you awake? Are you alright?" It was Zhao Changzhou who spoke.
Xu Qian swallowed, his throat feeling dry. He subconsciously reached out and touched himself; he was human.
“It’s a dream blossoming into flowers.” This time, it was Zuo Yu who spoke, the pale-faced young man.
In front of the young man were two azure flowers, with a very peculiar appearance, which at first glance looked like two little people.
"The Dream Flower is like a dream of twins. Legend has it that those who see this flower can sense another version of themselves in a parallel universe." Zhao Changzhou added to and explained what Zuo Yu had just said.
Xu Qian was somewhat stunned after listening. According to their explanation, if it were himself from another timeline, then...
"Amazing! My counterpart from another timeline is actually a teacher, a geography teacher at that. Looks like I can consider taking the teacher's exam instead of continuing in this line of work!" Chen Zhang, who woke up at the same time as Xu Qian, said.
However, as soon as Chen Zhang finished speaking, Zhao Changzhou reached out and poked him, raising his eyebrows and looking like he had something to say.
Chen Zhang reacted a beat late, then shut his mouth and stopped responding.
"The rain outside seems to have stopped." Zhao Changzhou moved the stone in front of him, and a beam of light shone in from outside.
"Flowers! Flowers! Flowers!"
The two azure dream flowers vanished before everyone's eyes the instant the sunlight streamed in, turning into a wisp of pale blue smoke.
"It's gone!"
"Let's just... treat it as a dream," Zhao Changzhou said awkwardly.
