Wen Lanfeng Arrives
Yue Qianchou agreed with this. He felt the same way. When you encounter someone with high cultivation, no matter how powerful your sword is, it's useless. If you can't catch up with them, you can't cut them down. Otherwise, you really could kill your opponent with a single strike.
It definitely doesn't feel as useful as a flying sword. If it fell into the hands of Spirit Transformation stage, besides Nether Iron, even I can't think of anything that could withstand the sharpness of the Black Fire great saber. The key is that those ignorant Spirit Transformation stage don't know that even if they were given this sword, it would instantly collapse into black flames once it's too far away from them.
However, few people know this secret. Besides his master, Ziyi Nong Zhu, only these three know that his flying sword and broadsword are formed from black fire. As for others, he doesn't want to reveal this secret to them.
"Aren't your master, Lingfang Valley, and your elder brother also at the Spirit Transformation stage? I have two treasured swords here, one for each of them, which would be just right," Yue Qianchou asked casually.
Xin Lao San scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "Your suggestion is really good. If you are truly willing to give it to me, I will naturally accept it and thank you properly. But the premise is that you are willing, and I doubt you are. Most importantly, I have never intended to get my hands on your treasured sword. We people from Lingfang Valley do not do such things as forcibly taking things. Otherwise, my master will not forgive me. If you don't believe me, I can swear to God."
"Oh!" Yue Qianchou blinked, thinking to himself, could the most beautiful woman in the world be an angel who possesses both virtue and beauty?
"Top-tier beauty?" These three words suddenly popped into his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a strong urge to meet her as soon as possible, to see just how beautiful this most beautiful woman in the world was, that she could actually deserve the title of the most beautiful woman in the world.
A thought even popped into his head subconsciously: if Wen Lanfeng hadn't been stopped from going to the Demon Ghost Domain after his seclusion, that would have been great; otherwise, his master might have killed him. Lu Yanqing had lost such a protector, that would have been... hehe! Uh... Yue Qianchou was startled by his own filthy thought.
When this story mentions the most beautiful woman in the world, she has just left the sacred land of the Biyuan Kingdom, and Wen Rui arrives shortly after.
The sacred land of the Biyuan Kingdom is a deep mountain in the heart of the Biyuan Kingdom. With waterfalls, clear springs, birdsong and fragrant flowers, and wild and beautiful scenery, it is a place rarely visited by people. However, it hides a sizable complex of pavilions and towers, which is the sacred land of the Wen family of the Biyuan Kingdom and the place where Wen family cultivators practice.
Upon returning to the Holy Land, Wen Rui immediately went to the valley where the Ancestor had been in seclusion. At the end of the valley was a stone cliff, and halfway down the cliff was a cave that had originally been sealed off. Now, the dark cave entrance was wide open, clearly indicating that the Ancestor had broken out of the cave and had truly emerged from seclusion.
At this moment, a figure suddenly teleported to Wen Rui's side as he floated in the air. This person looked similar to Wen Rui, but appeared more fair-skinned; it was Wen Rui's younger brother, Wen Xiu, a cultivator in the late Tribulation Transcendence stage. Upon seeing Wen Rui, he smiled and said, "Brother, you're back! Have you seen Mr. Nongzhu?"
Wen Rui didn't have time for idle chatter and asked directly, "Where is the Ancestor?"
"After the Ancestor came out of seclusion, he asked some questions and left after a short while, saying that he had something to do." Wen Xiu said, then suddenly realized and said, "Brother, you are a step too late. The Valley Master of Lingfang Valley came here in person just now, also to see the Ancestor. When he found that the Ancestor was not here, he left immediately."
"You..." Wen Rui was furious and didn't know what to say. He pointed his finger and shouted angrily, "Didn't I tell you to stop the ancestor? Why did you let him go?"
"I tried to stop him! But how could I stop him?" Wen Xiu said with a bitter face.
"It's over!" Wen Rui muttered to himself, his face deathly pale. There was no need to guess; the most likely places the Ancestor would go after emerging from seclusion were only two: Lingfang Valley and the Demon Ghost Domain. And since the Lingfang Valley hadn't encountered him along the way, it was obvious he was heading to the Demon Ghost Domain to avenge himself against Bi Changchun.
It was hard to imagine what it would be like if the Ancestor and Bi Changchun clashed. Wen Rui's heart was in his throat. It didn't matter if the Ancestor was defeated; the most important thing was to come back alive. Otherwise, who knew how long the Biyuan Kingdom could hold out amidst the turmoil? Having been established for many years, it had accumulated numerous enemies. Crucially, with the Ancestor present, no one dared to make a move! If he were gone, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Brother, what's wrong?" Wen Xiu asked worriedly.
Wen Rui turned around blankly, then said sternly with a pained expression, "Don't you know that the ancestor is most likely going to find Bi Changchun? Why didn't you risk your life to stop him and wait for me to come back!"
"I..." Wen Xiu paused, then said, "Brother, I know what you're worried about, but the Ancestor has been in seclusion for many years. He must have been confident in defeating Bi Changchun before he came out of seclusion. Otherwise, how could he be so reckless? Brother, I think you're overthinking it."
"Hopefully!" Wen Rui sighed helplessly. He was helpless now. With his speed, it was impossible for him to catch up with the ancestor, not to mention the time difference, which made it even more impossible. He feared that by the time he arrived in the Demon Ghost Domain, the outcome would already be decided.
Even if they wanted to expend a great deal of their cultivation to persuade the ancestor to return, without a confirmed location, they simply couldn't make contact. All they could do now was anxiously await the final outcome.
Wen Lanfeng, dressed in a simple greyish-white robe, was tall and slender, neither too thin nor too plump. While not as handsome as Nong Zhu, he was certainly a handsome man. His only flaw was the faint sadness etched on his brow, and the stubble on his cheeks added a touch of decadence to his overall appearance. His calm, clear eyes held an unyielding melancholy. A single glance from him could seem to extinguish a soul with his melancholy gaze. More accurately, it was breathtaking.
That kind of gaze could surely attract many women, coupled with his outstanding looks and his profound cultivation that puts him second only to the emperor. I don't know why he can't attract the most beautiful woman in the world, which makes him so sad!
Wen Rui and the others guessed correctly; Wen Lanfeng had indeed gone to find Bi Changchun after emerging from seclusion. He was currently flying straight through the air, his powerful cultivation creating a transparent, semi-circular light barrier in front of him. He was rapidly traversing the Demon Ghost Domain at an almost terrifying speed...
Above Shuntian Island Thousand Mile Lake, a phantom streaked across the sky, and Wen Lanfeng stood silently in the air. He stared at the island in the lake below with a complex expression, then slowly glanced around...
A hundred years ago, right here, I, who had always been proud of my cultivation, couldn't even last ten moves against my opponent. Just ten moves! And my opponent had already severely injured me...
Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Wen Lanfeng's face. That time was simply the greatest irony for him, the so-called second-best expert in the world. The second-best expert couldn't even last ten moves against the best expert and was seriously injured on the spot. If it weren't for Nong Zhu's timely rescue, he would never have been able to return to the world-renowned Shuntian Island today.
After a century of arduous cultivation, he had cast aside all desires, selfish thoughts, and distractions. The result was somewhat unexpected; one by one, he broke through the barriers of cultivation, repeatedly reaching new heights. Looking back at his past cultivation now, it's like watching a joke. Back then, he felt his cultivation had reached its limit, but unexpectedly, Bi Changchun's lesson brought him such great benefit.
Confident that his current cultivation level was vastly different from what it had been back then, if he continued to cultivate in that state, within a hundred years, the seventh spirit Ying would likely merge back into his Life Soul, allowing him to ascend to the Immortal Realm. This was a legend that had not been seen in the Cultivation World for many years.
However, Wen Lanfeng has no desire to ascend to the Immortal Realm; he has ties to cherish and does not wish to become an immortal. If he can defeat Bi Changchun, he can be with the one he loves. He thinks, what good is becoming an immortal? It's better to stay with the one he loves forever.
As Wen Lanfeng thought of his dream of spending his life with Lu Yanqing, a smile involuntarily crept onto his face... Bi Changchun's lifespan was nearing its end, and he had yet to ascend to the Immortal Realm, presumably due to a bottleneck in his cultivation. He, however, had already broken through that bottleneck; all that remained was the fusion of the seventh spirit Ying and his Life Soul before he could ascend.
However, he suppressed his unwillingness to merge, which meant that Bi Changchun was no longer his match. The title of the Number One Expert Under Heaven should be reclaimed. But he had absolutely no interest in the empty title of the Number One Expert Under Heaven; he only wanted to be with Yanqing. "Bi Changchun, you spared my life back then, and now I will spare yours..." Wen Lanfeng thought to himself.
Huh! Wen Lanfeng felt something was strange. Could it be that his cultivation level was so high that Bi Changchun couldn't detect his arrival? Or was Bi Changchun not even on the island?
His gaze swept across the island. A woman in white was tending to the flowers and plants; he immediately recognized her as a plant spirit. In another open area, a woman in Ziyi was jumping around wildly, her movements quite strange. He hadn't expected there to be two women on Shuntian Island.
Uh... that looks like Ziyi Nong Zhu's apprentice! Could it be that Nong Zhu is also on the island? Wen Lanfeng recognized Ziyi.
"Ziyi, is that you?" Wen Lanfeng called softly.
"Who called me? "The Ziyi, drenched in sweat, stopped her stance and looked around. Her gaze finally fell on the figure floating silently in mid-air. After recognizing who it was, she adorably smiled and made a "oh" shape with her lips. The Wood Lady Mu also noticed the visitor in the air.
After regaining her composure, Ziyi flashed into the air. Once she confirmed that it was indeed Wen Lanfeng, she stammered in disbelief, "Senior Wen... how did you... get here?"
She really couldn't believe that Wen Lanfeng would come here. This was the place where he had once suffered humiliation! Could it be that he came here this time to meet with Elder Bi...? Ziyi had already vaguely guessed that possibility.
"Why can't I come?" Wen Lanfeng said with a confident smile. "Since you're here, your master must be here too. Where are they?" He then glanced around.
