Chapter 375 Finale
On the day when Nan Xiao survived the thunder tribulation, the entire sky above Xiaoyao Sect was shrouded in darkness.
Even though a piece of open space had been cleared in advance for Nan Xiao to undergo the tribulation, the aura of the thunderclouds was still terrifying.
To be on the safe side, the fifth elder led the nearby disciples to retreat a distance.
The first bolt of thunder began to fall, and the subsequent ones became more ferocious than the last. The purple-gold lightning was wrapped in a strong wind, blowing the open space into billowing smoke and dust.
The thunderstorm continued to strike intermittently for a whole day and night, until the sky began to turn pale. The last pillar of lightning crashed down and then suddenly dissipated, and the thunderstorm clouds finally slowly faded away.
Lu Huai had been waiting outside and rushed in as soon as the thunder stopped.
"Smile."
In the smoke and dust, Nan Xiao was gasping for breath, holding onto a charred broken pillar.
The originally flowing white clothes turned into tattered black strips of cloth, his whole body was as black as charcoal, his hair was standing on end, and he looked in a miserable state.
She casually wiped the black dust off her face, leaving it a mess. When she saw Lu Huai, Nan Xiao's expression was a little stiff: "How did you get in?"
"I'm worried about you."
Lu Huai ran up to her, glanced at her, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had no serious problems.
Nan Xiao looked down at his current appearance, then looked up at the still handsome Lu Huai, and asked a soul-searching question, "Is it really appropriate for us to meet at this time?"
Doesn’t she have any face?
Lu Huai chuckled, took her dark little hand, and smeared the black ash on his fair face.
Suddenly, a conspicuous black mark appeared on that handsome face.
"Now we are the same."
Nan Xiao: “…”
Same shit.
Nan Xiao couldn't help but complain in her heart, I have a hairstyle that looked like it was hit by a fart, do you have one?
Of course, I can’t say this to Lu Huai, otherwise he will definitely do the same to me.
Why is it so difficult to maintain a fairy image while in a relationship?
Nan Xiao looked at the clouds gradually dispersing in the sky, sighed deeply, and raised his hand to smooth his hair. However, as soon as his fingertips touched it, a few burnt black hairs floated down.
Well, now I don’t even have the energy to sigh.
······
The two did not go to the upper realm immediately, but stayed in Xiaoyao Sect for another two months.
At first, Lin Jingyuan and the fifth elder felt a little reluctant to let the two children go, thinking that they would be gone soon.
Now, get out of here.
Without Jiang Xia's suppression, the two escaped from the Five Finger Mountain with Sun Wukong. No one cared about them. From the sect leader and elders to the outer disciples, no one was spared from their bullying.
Looking at the main peak being blown into pieces of a puzzle again, this time, not to mention the Fifth Elder, even Lin Jingyuan couldn't say a word to keep it.
This time, we must send these two away.
If they don't leave now, the speed of repairing the main peak will not be able to keep up with their bombing.
Lin Jingyuan packed the packages for them overnight.
Nan Xiao held Lin Jingyuan's packed bag in her arms and looked at him sincerely, saying, "Master, we can't bear to leave you. The disciple-recruiting conference will be held soon, otherwise we will wait until you accept new disciples and sisters before leaving."
Lu Huai nodded: "Yes, we also prepared gifts for our future junior brothers and sisters."
"No, you two are so powerful now, I can't control you. Let your senior brother take care of it." Lin Jingyuan refused expressionlessly.
These two little ones have similar interests and are good at acting like spoiled brats. If I continue talking to them, I will definitely become soft-hearted again.
"Master, then we are really leaving."
Lin Jingyuan felt reluctant to leave, but he still waved his hand impatiently and urged, "Let's go, let's go."
After saying that, he turned his back, unable to bear to look any further.
Nan Xiao and Lu Huai looked at each other, then retracted their attack and hugged Lin Jingyuan and several elders.
"Master, thank you for bringing me back."
Lin Jingyuan quickly wiped the moisture from his eyes: "I was wrong back then. I thought you were a promising sword cultivator, but I didn't expect you to be completely clueless."
"Nonsense, I can now practice the entire sect's sword techniques."
The Fifth Elder said, "Well, your eldest brother only took three months to master that basic sword technique, Wumian and Su Xun took six months, and Xiaolu took almost six months. The other inner disciples..."
"Okay, Fifth Elder, stop talking." Nan Xiao quickly stopped him.
If she goes on saying that she is no match for anyone, it will really undermine the child's self-confidence.
Elder Danfeng said, "Xiaoxiao, don't listen to that old man. Every profession has its own specializations. Your talent and attainments in the way of alchemy are unmatched even in the entire cultivation world."
"Uh-huh."
“…”
The few of them hesitated and talked for a long time.
Lin Jingyuan said: "It's almost time to go."
When it was really time to leave, Nan Xiao couldn't help but shed tears.
Lin Jingyuan raised his hand to wipe Nan Xiao's tears. "It's not like we won't have the chance to meet again in the future. Why are you crying?"
Nan Xiao's emotions stopped abruptly: "Really?"
"Well, originally, I wanted to pass the position of Sect Master to your eldest brother, but he wasn't interested, so that's fine. Once I've chosen the next Sect Master and have entrusted the Sect's affairs to him, I'll go to the Upper Realm to look for you."
Lu Huai smiled and said, "Master, we are waiting for you in the upper realm."
"good."
The light from the sky broke through the clouds, and a gilded halo descended from the sky, sprinkling on Nan Xiao and Lu Huai.
Their clothes moved without wind, the spiritual energy around them surged and swirled, and their figures gradually disappeared in the halo.
Until the last wisp of clothing disappeared into the stream of light, it turned into a golden line and rushed into the sky, and the place was empty.
Lin Jingyuan and the fifth elder stood there for a long time, then looked at each other and smiled.
······
Going from the lower realm to the upper realm is a very wonderful process.
It was as if the consciousness was supported by a gentle yet powerful force, passing through layer after layer of invisible boundaries. When the mind became clear, the surroundings had become a completely unfamiliar world.
There were many people around, including people of the same age as them and old people with white hair.
From their respective conversations, we can know that they have just ascended, but they came from other small worlds.
Only then did Nan Xiao understand that the lower realms were like stars scattered across various realms. The upper realm, on the other hand, was the only hub where all ascenders would eventually converge, like the trunk of a great tree, connecting to countless branches.
The figures around the ascension platform gradually dispersed. Some cultivators were surrounded by their relatives, friends, and fellow disciples who were waiting there and left. The laughter gradually faded away with the spiritual light.
There are also monks who are alone from beginning to end. Looking at the unfamiliar upper realm, they resolutely turn around and start a new chapter in their own life.
Nan Xiao and Lu Huai stood side by side, their eyes scanning the bustling crowd, but they didn't find any familiar figures.
The two looked at each other and decided to find a place to stay first, get to know the situation here, and then go find a few senior brothers.
The two of them had just taken two steps.
A familiar voice pierced through the crowd and came from behind.
"Junior Brother, Junior Sister..."
The two of them paused and looked back in the direction of the voice.
Four familiar slender figures came against the light, their figures framed with a soft golden edge by the sunlight, and their outlines appeared particularly clear yet a little hazy in the light and shadow.
The one in white is as cool as jade, the one in light green is elegant and gentle, the one in red is free and easy, and the one in green is dignified and extraordinary. Figures of all colors are standing there in a staggered manner, and the familiarity and tacit understanding between their brows have not diminished in the slightest, just as they did before.
The sunlight bathed them, and I couldn't see their expressions clearly, but I could feel the smiles in their eyes.
Just this one glance is worth a thousand words.
"Big Brother, Second Sister, Third Brother, Fourth Brother...you are all here."
Nan Xiao and Lu Huai rushed over and hugged several of their fellow brothers.
"You two kept us waiting."
"Hey, isn't this coming?"
“…”
Jiang Xia walked in front, listening to the fighting of his fellow apprentices behind him, with a gentle smile on his face.
Nan Xiao held Qiao Yue's arm and muttered something. Qiao Yue listened with her ear tilted, her hair swaying slightly in the wind.
Ye Wumian and Su Xun put their hands on Lu Huai's shoulders, one on each side, and pushed and shoved each other, laughing and playing.
The golden sunset stretched their shadows infinitely on the bluestone road... overlapping and swaying.
This is not the end, but a new starting point in their lives.
The full text is over.
