Chapter 287 A Journey Through Time
Chapter 287
Lin Xia looked around. There were no cultivators around anymore. Every person who carried the secret manual was enveloped by a device before they could leave.
Just like a security check, after the burning, everyone present has to walk under that machine before they are allowed to leave, and so on until everyone has gone through it.
After the last person walked over, he also threw the instrument into the fire. At this point, everything related to supernatural abilities at the scene was gone.
The moment the instrument disappeared, the entire world trembled! A sudden realization dawned on him: someone had altered the rules of the world, ordering all cultivators to leave this world!
Lin Xia felt herself instantly rejected into the void. Although she regained control of her body, she seemed to have lost contact with this world. She was unable to escape from the void and return to the main world.
She seemed lost in thought. She could sense that the world was rejecting her, and that it was rejecting all cultivators.
This surprised Lin Xia greatly. After waiting for a while, the system still didn't take her back, so she started wandering around.
She visited many places but didn't see a single cultivator; it was as if all cultivators had vanished from the world.
Overnight, everyone seemed to have forgotten the existence of cultivators. People worked at sunrise and rested at sunset until the war broke out again and the world turned into a bloodbath.
The world was developing rapidly, which in Lin Xia's eyes seemed to have become a fast-forwarded apocalypse, until a heavy rain flooded everything, ice descended, and humanity perished.
Countless spiritual entities floated in mid-air, gazing blankly at the world.
Lin Xia opened her eyes wide. She felt a powerful spatial force spreading, and the spiritual entities of the entire world were drawn into a vortex.
Then the world was enveloped by a great force, and the whole thing was cut off, the entire time segment was cut apart, forming a 'time amber'.
Watching the world change before her, Lin Xia finally escaped this place. She gazed into the distance, wanting to see who had accomplished all of this.
But everything went blurry, and she was taken back.
Sitting there, Lin Xia's mind kept flashing back to the scene she had just witnessed, as if time and space were being cut and then resumed.
She closed her eyes, energy surged within her, and an inexplicable aura rose from her body, lingering for a long time.
When Lin Xia opened her eyes, her aura suddenly dropped, as if her previous strength had never existed.
She looked at the withered giant tree in the space. Lacking energy, she decided to let it develop first and accumulate energy.
She felt that she was not far from a breakthrough, and Lin Zhuo needed to grow up as soon as possible.
When she came out of seclusion, she saw a boy who had come with Ji Wei. She was stunned. It turned out that Lin Zhuo was already a sixteen-year-old boy.
"Master!" Lin Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he ran over to grab Lin Xia's sleeve, but suddenly stopped and bowed respectfully.
Seeing Lin Xia nod, he jumped up and chattered about what Ji Wei had taken him to do.
He talked about his discovery, saying that he got a headache from reading the books on formations, but if he didn't learn them soon, he would feel dizzy and disoriented once he entered his subconscious.
Lin Xia listened quietly, occasionally answering his questions.
It's clear that Lin Zhuo is now a sunny and cheerful young man, but there's a resolute look in his eyes.
They taught him very well.
After Lin Zhuo left, Ji Wei looked at Lin Xia with a somewhat wistful expression: "Sigh, you left too fast, but it's okay, I will always follow in your footsteps."
Lin Xia smiled and pulled Ji Wei to explain the parts she didn't understand, and to explain the path to the future. Although their paths were different, they were heading in the same direction.
Watching Ji Wei walk away, Lin Xia went up to the roof to look at the world. At this moment, she understood that the path she had taken was different from everyone else's.
Lin Xia didn't go out again. She took Lin Zhuo with her almost every day to cultivate in her subconscious sea. It wasn't that she was eager, but that Lin Zhuo was really eager to learn.
As he listened to Lin Xia recount his experiences along the way, he stared blankly into his subconscious sea. The powerful array here made him dizzy, but it also fueled his fighting spirit.
He had realized that if he didn't understand these formations, he would only be a guardian in the future.
He's not qualified to be a guardian.
But how could he be content with this? This world is so beautiful. If one day this world were to suffer another disaster, and he were powerless to help, the thought of it would suffocate him.
How could he let someone else destroy the world that so many people worked so hard to protect?
During his time cultivating with Ji Wei, he had come to understand that they still had many enemies, and if his master left, he would have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting a world.
Everyone could only dream of their master's cultivation speed, but for some reason, he always felt that his master was supposed to be like that.
She should be dazzling, she should be carefree, she should be free in body and mind.
He never mentioned these thoughts to anyone, but he firmly believed in them and was willing to put in all his efforts for them.
The master has already revealed his identity, and everyone thinks he is so lucky. Many people regret that they weren't the first ones to have a child.
Perhaps if they are the first to have a child, they will receive blessings from the whole world.
Perhaps Lin Zhuo received everyone's blessings and such talent precisely because he was the first child of the era.
Although everyone calls him 'Island Master Lin,' the island he refers to is the whole world; who wouldn't covet that title?
Lin Zhuo also felt incredibly lucky, but what made him feel lucky was that he was able to cultivate diligently so that his master could be freed from these mundane affairs and no longer bear such heavy responsibilities.
Therefore, he has been working hard to cultivate and following in his master's footsteps. Although his master is always in seclusion, he hopes that his master can see his progress every time he emerges from seclusion.
Stopping his thoughts, he began to deduce the formation step by step, only consulting his master when he encountered something he couldn't figure out.
My teacher's teachings were very interesting; she could always make me understand them thoroughly with just a few strokes of her pen.
He suddenly felt that his hard work was somewhat in vain for his master's company over the past few days, so he said, "Master, please explain it to me. I think it's easier to understand if you explain it."
Lin Xia breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried that the child was too proud and wouldn't accept her teaching, but it seems that's not the case. That's good.
Spiritual energy flickered in the void, and array lines appeared and disappeared. The in-depth yet easy-to-understand explanations integrated all the basics.
Lin Zhuo felt only enjoyment. It turned out that he had been on the wrong path before. He realized that the knowledge of formations could be so interesting. He listened with great interest.
Besides studying, Lin Xia took Lin Zhuo to the arena to adapt to the 'front line' and fight against alien beasts. Lin Zhuo experienced both pain and joy every day.
But the days spent learning from her master were always short. After Lin Xia discovered that the giant tree had quietly grown even stronger, she decided to embark on another journey of [time travel].
