The only thing that makes one sad and heartbroken is separation.
Gao Xian had anticipated Zhou Yuling's departure, and he thought he was ready to accept it. But when he saw Zhou Yuling's message from hundreds of years ago, the sadness in his heart surged like a tide, and he couldn't suppress it at all.
He was also sad about the deaths of Yun Zai Tian and Yun Qiu Shui, but he was more angry about the tragic deaths of his elders and confidants.
He drew his sword and slashed his enemies, venting the anger and sadness in his heart.
At this moment, Gao Xian could only silently bear this sadness which was not strong but lasting.
Just like the bleak autumn rain, it is not very cold, but it has a chill that penetrates to the bone marrow...
Li Feihuang looked at Gao Xian quietly. After not seeing him for hundreds of years, this man became more handsome and elegant. At this moment, Gao Xian's deep sadness had a kind of fascinating charm.
No wonder Yuling never forgot Gaoxian until her death. Although this man was sentimental, he was also deeply affectionate. She was actually no different from Yuling, except that her cultivation was higher and she could barely control her emotions.
That's it. Seeing Gao Xian's sad look, she couldn't help but want to comfort him. But this was the place where Yuling passed away, so she had to restrain herself.
Gao Xian was silent for a long time before he sighed softly. He looked up at the vast bright blue sea, and his eyes gradually calmed down.
When a person is born, he or she is rushing towards death without stopping for a moment.
It is the fear of death that makes life so precious and beautiful. It is the strong fear of death that drives him to pursue the great way and move forward courageously.
Only when one reaches this level of cultivation does one truly understand the horror of death.
Although intelligent creatures can reincarnate, they will lose part of their soul essence in the process. Even if they are powerful beings of the seventh or eighth level, it is impossible for them to reincarnate intact.
No matter what kind of creature it is, even if it is an evil spirit or a monster, once dead, it is dead.
Death is the fundamental law of this world. If death can be easily reversed in this way, then death will lose its meaning. This world will become a mess...
Gao Xian knew that this sadness would not disappear, but would become an indelible mark in his memory and the most important part of his life.
No matter what he achieves in the future, when he looks back, he will see this mark and know what he has been through.
It is these experiences that have shaped his unique self and made him remember who he is forever! "The sea is so beautiful..."
Gao Xian broke the silence with a meaningful sigh.
“Yeah, it’s beautiful here.”
It was obviously a very ordinary sentence, but Li Feihuang somehow felt it was particularly familiar.
Perhaps it was the shared remembrance of Yuling, or perhaps it was Gao Xian's affectionate and sad look just now that broke the gap created by hundreds of years of time.
Li Feihuang took the initiative to walk to Gao Xian and held his hand. She said softly, "I miss you too."
Gao Xian held Li Feihuang's soft hand, and his heart was calm and gentle. He knew there was no lust in it, only Li Feihuang's care and comfort for him.
After hundreds of years, Li Feihuang has truly matured and knows how to be considerate and comfort people, which is really good.
He felt a little ashamed. He had always regarded Li Feihuang as a fun woman. He liked her bright and beautiful face, but he didn't really care about her. Sometimes he even forgot about Li Feihuang.
Li Feihuang always kept him in mind.
In comparison, he is really a bit of a scumbag.
After Zhou Yuling’s death, Gao Xian understood one thing: cherish the people who love you.
If you miss it, you may never see it again in this life.
Gao Xian held Li Feihuang's hand tightly, and together they watched the sea for most of the day. It was not until the sun sank into the sea that Gao Xian followed Li Feihuang back to Hongye Peak.
The mountain is planted with exotic red-leaf maple trees. The leaves are bright red like blood, shining with a faint red light in the deep night. The mountain peaks shrouded in dark red halo look a bit eerie from afar.
It has to be said that Gao Xian was a little shocked by Li Feihuang's aesthetic taste.
As a Yuanying Zhenjun and a high-ranking member of the sect, Li Feihuang lives in a three-story courtyard. The first two courtyards are where disciples, followers, maids, etc. live.
In the last courtyard, there were no outsiders. Li Feihuang was aloof and aloof, and when he reached the Nascent Soul stage, he didn't like outsiders in the courtyard.
The house has green walls and red tiles, and its style is simple and elegant. There is a beautiful plum tree planted in the courtyard, and a third-level alien raccoon guarding the yard.
Li Nu is actually a white kitten with one green and one blue eye, and its hair is neat and dust-free. When it leaps, it is light and silent. When it sees Li Feihuang coming back, the white kitten comes over and meows twice, in a very flattering manner.
Li Feihuang pointed at Gao Xian and said, "I am your best friend. You must be respectful and obedient."
Upon hearing this, the white civet cat meowed twice and bowed to Gao Xian with its two little paws.
"Bai Li, my little raccoon slave, can understand human language and is very well-behaved and smart."
Li Feihuang introduced Gao Xian and, ignoring Bai Li's fawning attitude, took Gao Xian into the main room.
The previous unfamiliarity was gone, and the hundreds of years of not seeing each other gave the two of them countless topics to talk about.
In the closed and quiet room, the man and woman sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere became more ambiguous. Li Feihuang was a little uncomfortable with this atmosphere, so she took out some spirit wine and dried fruits, meat and other things to go with it.
Gao Xian really wanted to drink some wine. Both he and Li Feihuang needed to get drunk.
After a few drinks, Li Feihuang relaxed, and there was a hint of spring in his eyes when he looked at Gao Xian.
"Who did Senior Brother Qingxuan go to see?" Gao Xian asked casually.
"Go to Penglai Island to find Uncle Wan Yingying."
Li Feihuang said as he glanced at Gao Xian, "Is it you who brought Uncle Wan to the sect?"
Hearing this familiar name, Gao Xian felt a little complicated. He actually had some guesses about it.
Wan Yingying became Yun Zaitian's disciple, and then was sent away by the old man. There was no news after that. According to Yun Zaitian, Wan Yingying had extraordinary talent and was sent by him to be a disciple of an extraordinary strong man.
Yun Zai Tian was only at the Nascent Soul stage, so the connections this old man could use were very limited. He suddenly moved the sect to the East China Sea, probably because of the relationship with the peerless master who left.
When Yun Zaitian and Yun Qiushui got into trouble, Gao Xian lost contact with Yun Qingxuan and the others. He had been thinking that Yun Qingxuan and the others must have had a relationship with Wan Yingying to gain a foothold in the East China Sea.
When Wan Yingying left, she was only thirteen or fourteen years old. It has been eight hundred years since we last met! I wonder how she is doing now!
Gao Xian asked: "What is Yingying's current cultivation level?"
"Late stage of transformation."
Li Feihuang said seriously: "It is said that it is only a matter of time before she can achieve the Pure Yang Dao."
"Um?"
Gao Xian was a little surprised. Becoming a spirit was not too difficult, but he would definitely be able to attain the state of Pure Yang, which was too amazing.
He asked curiously, "Who is her teacher? What organization is Penglai Island?"
Li Feihuang did not speak, but dipped his hand in some wine and wrote a few words on the table: "Master Wan's teacher is Hongyuan Tianjun."
Facing Gao Xian's somewhat puzzled look, Li Feihuang shook his head slightly: "For the seventh-level Heavenly Monarchs, even reciting their names with spiritual consciousness may trigger their induction.
"We don't know this person at all, and it's disrespectful to say his name behind his back. Even if he doesn't care, we still have to be careful."
"Oh, so that's how it is..."
Gao Xian had met nine Pure Yang Dao Masters, and although he had great respect for the Sixth-Rank Dao Master, he did not have too much awe.
Although the sixth-level pure yang is strong, its strength has an immeasurable upper limit. He is far from it now, but he can already see the back of the sixth-level.
Just after arriving in the East China Sea, a seventh-rank Heavenly Monarch appeared, and it was Teacher Wan Yingying. Especially Li Feihuang's cautious attitude, which really shocked him.
Li Feihuang continued, "This Heavenly Monarch is the leader of Xiaoyao Sect. Penglai Island is the mountain gate of Xiaoyao Sect. Penglai Island is extremely far away from Qianxing Island. Traveling between the two places depends entirely on teleportation talismans..."
"Why don't you camp near Penglai Island?" Gao Xian was puzzled. Why didn't they hold on to such a strong partner and come to Qianxing Island?
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"Penglai Island is located deep in the East China Sea. It is said that fifth-level monsters are rampant, and there are even sixth-level monsters. It is too dangerous."
Li Feihuang had been working with Yun Qingxuan from beginning to end and was very familiar with the situation. She introduced to Gao Xian in detail the process of the sect's relocation to Qianxing Island.
"Strictly speaking, Qianxing Island is actually under the jurisdiction of Xiaoyao Sect, but there is no strict hierarchy. Just like our Qingyun Sect and Wanfeng County..."
Gao Xian immediately understood that since Jiuzhou was unable to form a strict organizational system, the organizational structure would naturally be looser in the vast East China Sea.
He then thought of another important issue. Thousand Star Island has a boss, and the Dragon Scale Association should also have a boss.
Only in this way can the forces of humans and demons maintain a basic balance.
It seems that who knows what will emerge from the Heavenly Alliance Conference decades later!
Even if he cultivated the Three Spirits, he still couldn't be sure of victory.
Thinking of this, Gao Xian also felt a sense of crisis.
Li Feihuang saw Gao Xian was silent and thought he was worried about the situation of Qingyun Sect. She said, "Senior Brother Qingxuan has a good relationship with Xiaoyao Sect. Not only Uncle Wan, but also Uncle Li Zichen, they also take special care of us. It's just..."
"Zi Chen, Zi Han..."
Gao Xian wanted to laugh. This name was really vulgar in his previous life. Li Feihuang seemed to be hesitant to speak, and it seemed that this Li Zichen was not simple.
He asked, "What happened to this Uncle Li?"
"Uncle Li is extremely beautiful, cold and arrogant. But she particularly likes beautiful women, especially Brother Qingxuan!"
“Ah, haha…”
Gao Xian really laughed this time, he was a lesbian. He hated homosexuality but was quite tolerant of lesbians.
Based on his understanding of Yun Qingxuan, even if the other person is a beautiful woman, Yun Qingxuan would not use his beauty to please her.
Li Feihuang was also afraid that Gao Xian would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained: "Although Senior Brother Qingxuan and Senior Uncle Li Zichen have a good relationship, it is not that kind of relationship. Senior Brother Qingxuan is pure-hearted and focused on the great way, and will not do evil things."
"Brother Qingxuan has a clear mind and acts in accordance with the rules, so there is no need to worry about her."
Gao Xian said this as he gently pulled Li Feihuang's hand. Although he didn't use much force, Li Feihuang's body fell over limply somehow.
“Feihuang, let me see your cultivation level after hundreds of years…” Gao Xian said softly.
Although Li Feihuang is over 800 years old, her face is flushed and her eyes are full of spring. She nodded imperceptibly.
…
The clouds and rain disappeared, Gao Xianhe hugged Li Feihuang with a contented heart, but Li Feihuang closed his eyes and guided the pure yang spiritual energy flowing in his body.
This spiritual energy was extremely suitable for her, but it was too thick and strong. Even with the help of a master to help her practice dual cultivation and harmonize it, she found it difficult to digest.
In the blink of an eye, her body turned red.
"Your cultivation is still not enough, I will help you!"
Gao Xian was helpless when he saw that Li Feihuang was in a bad situation. This Fire Phoenix Feather was a prize from the Jiuzhou Dharma Assembly, and he had kept it in his hand but had never used it.
This time, in order to compensate Li Feihuang, he simply helped her integrate the Fire Phoenix Feather into her Nascent Soul Sea. If she was a Fire Phoenix Dharma Body, it would be a perfect match for this thing.
It’s just that his cultivation is too low, and he is unable to dissolve the power of the blazing fire phoenix.
Fortunately, he was right beside him, and the master's perfect Yin-Yang Enlightenment Sutra was enough to help Li Feihuang dissolve the power of the Fire Phoenix. During the dual cultivation process, he could also benefit from the Yin-Yang cycle.
Gao Xian cannot directly absorb the power of the Fire Phoenix, but he can temper himself through the power of the Fire Phoenix. Although the benefit to him is extremely limited, it is a real improvement.
After practicing together for more than two months, he was able to help Li Feihuang transform the spiritual energy from the Fire Phoenix Feathers. Ninety percent of the spiritual energy still needed Li Feihuang to slowly refine and integrate into his Nascent Soul.
After all, the Fire Phoenix Feather is a sixth-level divine object, which is still too high-level for an ordinary Nascent Soul like Li Feihuang.
Li Feihuang's Fire Phoenix body was originally good at controlling fire magic. He had a huge advantage in surviving the Heavenly Fire Tribulation, and with the Fire Phoenix Feathers, it should be no problem for him to achieve enlightenment and become a god.
Zhou Yuling's aptitude was too poor. Even after taking the Pure Yang Jade Purity Flower, she still failed to achieve the Golden Elixir. If she was by his side, this kind of thing would not have happened.
In such a huge Qingyun Sect, even with Yun Qingxuan's care, it is still far from enough.
Li Feihuang actually had to go out to work during the day, and he didn't accompany Gao Xian all day. Gao Xian would walk around during the day, and he didn't want others to see him, so no one in Qingyun Sect could see him.
After staying for more than two months, I was able to understand the situation of Qingyun Sect. Although the sect practitioners had many selfish motives, they were generally united and recognized the sect.
There are countless spiritual jades in the sea area around Yuxing Island, which is a huge resource. It means that Qingyun Sect has a backer, otherwise such a good place would not be available to Qingyun Sect.
With enough resources, the sect can operate normally and continuously absorb talents. After hundreds of years, the sect has become quite prosperous and much stronger than the Qingyun Sect with a history of ten thousand years.
Gao Xian is the authentic descendant of Qingyun Sect. He doesn't like to set up a sect, but he is happy to see Qingyun Sect take root in Donghai.
On this day, Gao Xian was reading in his bedroom when Li Feihuang hurried in and said, "Senior Brother Qingxuan is back. I'll take you to see her..."
Inside the Jinxiao Palace, Yun Qingxuan stood quietly in the center of the hall. Her gaze was fixed on the entrance of the hall, and a rare hint of complexity was revealed in her cold and clear eyes.
Li Zichen, who was standing next to him, felt a little jealous. She said disapprovingly, "I've known you for hundreds of years, but this is the first time I've seen you lose your composure like this. A mere disciple who betrayed the sect is not worth it for you to do this!" (End of this chapter)
