Chapter 81: Within Heaven and Earth
The top of a solitary peak of Xuantian Sect was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the entire peak was enveloped in thick fog.
This solitary peak has a beautiful name: Yunwu Peak. Shrouded in a thin mist, Yunwu Peak looks like a huge freehand painting, hanging from the sky, making the bamboo sea appear and disappear, and the spring water seem to condense and flow.
It is not the kind of thick fog that "fog covers the mountain tops and the mountain covers the fog", which makes people breathless, nor is it the sparse and boring mist.
Her beauty lies in her elusive appearance, giving people a sense of mystery; her beauty lies in her tranquility and elegance, giving people a fresh and natural feeling; her beauty lies in her whiteness and kindness, giving people a warm feeling.
Leng Youran stood on the top of Yunwu Peak, looking down at the clouds covering the mountaintops. They were like white velvet hats worn on the top of the mountain; and the clouds wrapped around the middle of the mountain were like jade belts tied around the mountainside.
Clouds and mist filled the entire valley, like a vast ocean. Occasionally, a breeze blew, and suddenly layers of clouds and mist drifted with the wind. Leng Youran remembered a poem he had read in his previous life:
The flower is not a flower, the fog is not a fog,
It comes at midnight and leaves at dawn.
It comes like a spring dream that is not long in coming,
Gone like morning clouds, nowhere to be found.
I came across this poem "Flowers Are Not Flowers" by chance in my previous life. What does this poem mean?
Is it a flower? No, it is not a flower. Is it fog? No, it is not fog.
It came like a spring dream and didn't stay long.
After leaving, it is like the clouds that drift away in the morning, nowhere to be found.
Thinking about it, she murmured softly. Looking at the thin mist, Leng Youran reached out her hand and put it into the thick white mist, feeling the faint water vapor in the mist. Mist is also a kind of water. Unconsciously, Leng Youran fell into that unconscious state again:
Water is ever-changing and omnipresent. Life is like water. We do not need to have the tenderness and agility of water, but we cannot live without its toughness and strength.
The water, as soft as a thread, did not show any fear in the extremely cold environment, but turned into indestructible ice. Beneath its cold appearance, it hid an unjust heart.
Life is like water, like the Milky Way cascading down from the sky, like the mighty Yangtze River with its turbulent waves and turbid sky, and like the vast ocean that is quiet, deep and yet surging. No matter what it is, it keeps on flowing and moving forward courageously. Life is like water, which turns into fog in that special environment. Although the fog is powerless, it has the most elegant nature.
When it gathers, it can become clouds and rain, turning into visible water; when it disperses, it can disappear without a trace, floating in the sky and earth.
Slowly, the surrounding water spiritual power came towards her frantically, and Leng Youran's figure appeared on the top of the mountain, with the flying sword in her hand constantly dancing in the air. The water spiritual power in the air was like a naughty child jumping around her, and in her hands it was like a soft ribbon, without a trace of lethality. When they encountered the opponent, they became invisible killing weapons.
For a moment, Leng Youran was immersed in this wonderful state. On the top of the mountain, a woman in white was dancing non-stop, and the flying sword in her hand kept emitting blue rays of light.
At the foot of Yunwu Peak, Leng Xiao looked at the flickering blue light and smiled knowingly at his wife beside him. Their daughter had grown up, and seeing her rapid growth, the couple felt relieved.
Leng Xiao took out a communication jade talisman and injected a trace of spiritual energy into it. Two breaths later, the master's mellow voice came from the sound transmission jade talisman, "Does the Supreme Elder Ziyang have any instructions?" Leng Xiao glanced at the girl dancing with the sword on the top of the mountain and said to the sound transmission jade talisman, "Find some water spiritual root cultivators at the foot of Yunwu Peak. I see that Youran's water sword intent is slowly approaching great perfection. Letting them see it will have many benefits." The master on the other side of the sound transmission jade talisman was immediately excited. This is the water sword intent! Although the sect also has cultivators' gatherings, ordinary disciples don't have the opportunity to watch.
This time with the consent of True Venerable Zi Yang, these disciples were very lucky, so their Xuantian Sect's hard-working leader was extremely efficient. In less than half an hour, there were already many Qi training disciples at the foot of Yunwu Peak, sitting cross-legged on the ground and silently watching the woman dancing with a sword on the top of the mountain. The cultivators had good eyesight and there was no need to worry about not being able to see what was happening inside.
Leng Xiao had already set up a defensive formation around them before these disciples arrived, to prevent anyone from disturbing his precious daughter. You know, the opportunity for enlightenment is a rare encounter. Judging from the spiritual power fluctuating around his daughter, it should be the perfection of the sword of water. This way, they can feel more at ease when she goes out to train in the future.
Time flew by, and three months had already passed. When Leng Youran regained consciousness, she was startled by the dense crowd at the foot of the mountain. As she looked over, she saw a sudden surge of spiritual energy among the crowd. This scene startled Leng Youran. What on earth was going on? Why were there so many cultivators here? Half an hour later, the turbulent spiritual energy surrounding the man began to slowly calm down. He stood up and bowed deeply in Leng Youran's direction. Leng Youran was stunned by this. Seeing that Leng Youran had woken up, the other cultivators dispersed, but they all bowed to her before leaving.
Just when Leng Youran was confused, he saw Leng Xiao and Shangguan Ruoshui flying in the air, and the leader also flew over with a few people not far away.
Leng Xiao put away the formation for his daughter and walked over with his wife. He scanned her carefully with his spiritual sense and then a smile appeared on his face. Their daughter had advanced to a higher level in just three months and was now in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage. They had originally thought that their daughter had useless spiritual roots and were worried about her. They had wanted to search for some rare treasures for her to help her practice. At least what they found could help her break through to the Golden Core Stage. But they didn't expect that his baby would give him such a big surprise. His baby turned out to be the legendary Chaos Spiritual Root.
At such a young age, he has already reached the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Calculate your daughter's age! She's only in her early twenties! At the rate she's cultivating, she could become the youngest Jindan-stage cultivator.
Shangguan Ruoshui glanced at her husband and knew what he was thinking about. She couldn't help but glared at him before smiling at her daughter. "How do you feel, Youran? Come back with mother and have a good rest. I just saw the fluctuation of spiritual power on your body. It should be the perfection of Water Sense!" Leng Youran looked at the smiles on the corners of her parents' mouths, which she couldn't suppress. She showed a big smile and rushed over to hug her mother's arms to share her achievements with her. "Dad and Mom, I have gained a lot of benefits this time. I always felt that Water Sense was lacking a little bit before.
This time, seeing the thick fog in the mountains gave me inspiration, and the meaning of water has reached perfection." Leng Xiao was also infected by his daughter's smug look, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
The leaders over there had also come over at this time. "Congratulations, little girl Youran. Uncle Master thanks you on behalf of the disciples in the sect. Quite a few disciples have benefited from you this time. Not only have many made breakthroughs in their cultivation, but several disciples have also touched the edge of the water spirit. So Uncle Master wants to thank you very much." Leng Youran saluted to several people and said, "Youran greets the sect leader and several uncle Masters. Sect leader and uncle Master, there is no need to be polite to Youran." Sect leader Yun Tian Zhenjun was very satisfied with her calm and composed attitude at such a young age. However, as if he remembered something, his expression changed and he said to Leng Youran, "Little girl Youran, Uncle Master has something he wants to ask for your help. I wonder if you have time to listen." When Leng Youran heard that the sect leader had something to ask her, she quickly lowered her head and saluted respectfully before saying, "Uncle Master, please give me your instructions. If Youran can do it, I will do my best." Leng Youran also knew that the reason why True Man Mo Yang and the others could arrive so early this time was probably because the sect had issued an order to them. Since the sect tried its best to protect her, she would also do her best if the sect had any problems.
After hearing this, the sect leader was even more happy and told him his idea, "It's like this. In three months, the Tianlan Secret Realm will be opened. Those who enter this time are all Jindan stage cultivators. I see that the pills you refine are all top-grade and high-grade pills. I want you to help refine a batch for the disciples who enter. I also want to ask you to refine some talismans so that they can have some self-protection ability. I have discussed with the elders that this time the Tianyu Sect is targeting our Xuantian Sect, so I want to give the disciples who enter more life-saving things. Make as many as you can in three months. Don't worry, the sect will not let you work in vain. I heard from your father that you are short of spirit stones recently. When the time comes, I will pay you the same amount of spirit stones as the things you hand over. What do you think?" Leng Youran agreed without saying a word after hearing the sect leader's words.
However, he still said to the headmaster a little embarrassedly, "Uncle Master, the sect still needs to prepare the materials for me. The blank talisman paper and monster skins I prepared this time are almost used up.
I've also refined quite a few pills before and haven't sold them yet. I'll sell them when the time comes. As for the talismans and talisman records, they're almost all gone this time, but I'll try to make more." The Sect Master and the several Peak Masters behind him nodded in satisfaction. Zi Yang Zhenzun's daughter was truly remarkable. They'd heard the Sect Master talk about this little girl, and they were actually quite surprised. Not only was she a Ninth-Rank Alchemist, but she was also a Fifth-Rank Talisman Master. She was only a few years old, yet she had achieved such high accomplishments. How had she cultivated all these years? At such a young age, she'd already reached the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Furthermore, this time, with just one cultivator at the Beginning of the Foundation Establishment Stage and one at the Great Perfection of the Qi Condensation Stage, she had managed to slay nearly three hundred Tianyu Sect cultivators. Crucially, among these cultivators were over a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators. Not only did they slay all the invading cultivators, but Qin Mengmeng had also successfully broken through the Foundation Establishment Stage barrier. So, they were also very optimistic about this tenacious young woman.
After Leng Youran agreed with the head of the sect about what to do, he left with several peak masters. Only then did Leng Xiao and his wife have a chance to talk to their own treasures. Leng Xiao took his wife and daughter back to Liuhuo Peak.
Thousands of miles away, Leng Qianmo stared sternly at the five Tianyu Sect cultivators across from him. The chill from his aura made them shiver. Shangguan Lie, standing nearby, was no better. He hadn't heard correctly what these people had just said! Was their Tianyu Sect planning a war with their Xuantian Sect? Leng Qianmo's face darkened as he pondered the words he had just heard: the Tianyu Sect had sent a large number of cultivators to hunt down his younger sister. That had already happened half a year ago. No wonder the sect had suddenly issued an order three months ago, demanding they protect the disciples they had taken out, specifically to keep an eye out for Tianyu Sect cultivators. The man had just said that their Tianyu Sect had lost over five hundred disciples in the past six months, including five Jindan-stage cultivators. While he didn't know what had happened to these people, their soul tablets had all been shattered. As for the others, nothing was known. Leng Qianmo glanced at them, waved his hand, and a burst of spiritual energy flew out, sending them into silence. Then, another fireball erupted, leaving no trace of anyone on the ground.
This Tianyu Sect is really damned. They even dared to touch his sister. Aren't they afraid of the wrath of their grandfather and parents? No, he had to go back to see how his sister was doing. He looked at Shangguan Lie and began to gather the disciples who were doing tasks in the forest to return to the sect together.
