Crying Tear Beauty

The Crying Old Man activated the Talisman Treasure given to him by the Venerable White to locate 'Song Shuhang's position'.

Then, two dots appeared in the Crying Old Man's mind.

A green dot indicates the location of the Crying Old Man. A far distance away is a red dot, which roughly indicates Song Shuhang's location.

"As expected of Senior White, even the locator is so well done~ Waaah, it's so touching." The Crying Old Man started crying again for no reason.

So touching~~

After being moved to tears, the Crying Old Man hid the 'trial ground' he had set up to prevent other fellow cultivators from accidentally wandering in and ruining his arrangements.

Afterwards, the Crying Old Man proceeded along the location of the 'red dot'! He wanted to bring (capture) that young friend Song over for a pleasant trial, in order to repay Senior White's great kindness!

The Crying Old Man flew through space, and by evening, he finally arrived at the location marked on the 'locator' as Song Shuhang was.

What appeared before him was an enormous meteorite. On it stood a palace-like building. However, the entire building was concealed by magic, making its exact appearance impossible to discern.

Only the enormous palace gate, studded with copper nails, appeared so real to the Crying Old Man.

At this moment, the Crying Old Man was stunned. He didn't even have time to cry; he just quietly looked at the palace gate in front of him.

Then he looked up and stared at the top of the palace gates.

It was engraved with three distorted characters, none of which were known, but the Crying Old Man knew what those three characters were.

'Jadewater Pavilion'!

When he was young, the Crying Old Man entered a ruin related to the 'Jadewater Pavilion' and obtained the <Heaven's Weeping Canon>. With this technique, he finally condensed his Golden Core and became a Fifth-Grade master among rogue cultivators.

If we consider it that way, the Crying Old Man is actually a successor of the Jadewater Pavilion from a later generation!

Therefore, he knew something about the Jadewater Pavilion.

"That's right, this is what I saw in the ruins about 'Jadewater Pavilion'." The Crying Old Man stepped out of his meteorite artifact and came to the palace gate. He reached out and gently stroked the copper nails on the gate.

But... why is the Jadewater Pavilion here? Why is it in outer space?

Wasn't the Jadewater Pavilion destroyed many years ago when it was caught up in a major war between cultivation sects?

In the memory of the Crying Old Man, the ancient 'Jadewater Pavilion' was once caught up in a great war between cultivators, and the entire sect was completely destroyed.

Could it be that the surviving descendants of the Jadewater Pavilion it?

The Crying Old Man, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

"Waaaaah~~" The Crying Old Man cried especially sadly, but this time it was tears of joy!

The Heaven's Weeping Canon he obtained back then was incomplete. He had already reached the limit when he cultivated it to the Fifth-Grade Realm. If he wanted to continue cultivating, he would need a subsequent technique... But the Jadewater Pavilion was gone, and the Heaven's Weeping Canon was a technique unique to the Jadewater Pavilion back then!

How tragic this is.

If the Crying Old Man wants to the Fifth-Grade Realm, he either needs to switch to a different cultivation technique, or... he can only explore and complete the <Heaven's Weeping Canon> little by little on his own.

The Crying Old Man had been trying to complete the "Heaven's Weeping Canon" but with little success.

Now, if the Jadewater Pavilion still existed, he would have a chance to obtain the complete <Heaven's Weeping Canon>! No matter how low the chance is, it's better than having no chance at all.

The Crying Old Man as he stroked the gate of the Jadewater Pavilion, as tenderly as if he were caressing his lover—his hope for ascending to the True Lord was contained within it!

At that moment, the Crying Old Man felt a sense of trepidation, as if he were returning home.

After a long silence, he made up his mind and knocked hard on the door.

Knock knock knock~

The knocking sound carried far, like the tolling of a bell. On this small meteorite, protected by the array, there was air that could transmit the bell's sound.

After knocking, the Crying Old Man waited anxiously for a long time... but the door to the Jadewater Pavilion showed no sign of opening.

The Crying Old Man, having mustered his courage, knocked on the door again.

Thump thump thump~~

The door remained firmly shut.

Is no one home? Or perhaps the other person simply doesn't want to open the door?

"Should we force our way in?" the Crying Old Man murmured, but he quickly dismissed the idea. Forcing his way in would certainly be seen as an invasion.

By then, even if the other party really does possess the <Heaven's Weeping Canon>, he won't have a single chance to obtain it—no, he might even be killed by the other party the moment he first enters the gate, his Body-and-Soul Annihilation.

So the Crying Old Man persistently continued to knock on the door.

The Crying Old Man had great patience. When he was young, he wanted to become a disciple of a senior rogue cultivator. In the end, he knelt in front of that senior's cave for five days and five nights.

Now is the time for him to continue to exercise his patience.

******************************

On the other side, inside the Jadewater Pavilion.

Li Yinzhu stepped into the 'Cloud Pavilion' where Pavilion Master Chu was located, activating the 'warning' formation next to the Cloud Pavilion, and Pavilion Master Chu also woke up from his deep sleep.

At the same time, the Cloud Pavilion's defense system was activated, and stone pillars and crystal towers rose up from the vicinity of the Cloud Pavilion.

Li Yinzhu immediately realized she had trespassed into Forbidden Land. She stomped her small foot on the ground, and the Sword Pellet in her mouth flew out, dispersing and turning into sword light under her feet.

She needed to leave Cloud Pavilion as quickly as possible.

But... it was too late. The Cloud Pavilion's defense system was personally set up by Pavilion Master Chu.

Just as Li Yinzhu took flight on her sword, a large net descended from the void, ensnaring her. Immediately afterwards, ten chains sprang out, binding Li Yinzhu in a spread-eagle position and suspending her at the entrance of the Cloud Pavilion.

Being hung up felt incredibly shameful.

Li Yinzhu wanted to cry but had no tears.

With her Fourth-Grade Cultivation level, she had no way to break free from these chains. The more she struggled, the tighter the chains bound her.

"Help! Please put me down! I didn't mean to wander in here!" Li Yinzhu cried out, and the image of Song Shuhang involuntarily came to mind.

Cloud Pavilion.

After confirming that the intruder had been subdued, Pavilion Master Chu once again fell into a deep sleep.

However, perhaps because she had already slept for two days, she did not fall into a deep sleep this time. Therefore, Jadewater Pavilion did not enter the 'Time Freeze' state again.

The monks inside the gate began to resume their activities.

The disciples on foot continued their journey with their heads down, the disciples who were cultivating resumed their practice, and the elders who were playing chess and drinking tea continued their leisurely lives.

They didn't feel any 'Time Freeze' at all.

Only the golden boy and jade girl in the 'Guest Hall' were puzzled, clutching the quilt in their hands.

They remembered a young guest who was unconscious and was brought to this room.

But now, the room is filled with cold air, and the little guest is nowhere to be found.

The young couple immediately began searching for the missing little guest.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of 'Time City'.

A female disciple from the Jadewater Pavilion, carrying thick books, entered the 'Time City' and headed towards the 'Underground City' —the 'entrance' she entered was not the same as the 'entrance' that Pavilion Master Chu led Song Shuhang and the others into.

Because there were no disciples guarding the place where Pavilion Master Chu entered. Clearly, Pavilion Master Chu led Song Shuhang and the others into a secret shortcut entrance.

The disciple in charge of guarding 'Time City' laughed and said, "Senior Sister Ye, you're going into the 'Underground City' to cultivate again?"

"Yes, I'll be cultivating inside for a month." The female disciple, known as 'Senior Sister Ye,' turned around and smiled slightly. She was referring to a month in the outside world, but nearly a year in the 'Underground City.'

She was carrying a thick book and wearing a light purple dress.

She had long, brownish hair, which was carefully braided.

Her long bangs partially obscured her eyes. When she turned her head and smiled, her red-rimmed eyes were revealed, with tear tracks at the corners, as if she had just been crying.

She was a Chu Chu young woman, as lovely as a hyacinth.

With a slight smile, the woman, carrying a thick stack of books, jogged into the 'Underground City'... leaving behind a faint scent of ink.

After the hyacinth-like, captivating young woman had run far away, the two disciples guarding the entrance to Time City exclaimed in unison, "Senior Sister Ye, were you just crying?"

Charm stat increased by 100!

Senior Sister Ye's existence is practically the very explanation of the phrase 'pear blossoms with tears'.

The Crying Tear Beauty, the Tears of Healing of the Jadewater Pavilion... these titles are quite famous within the Jadewater Pavilion.

******************************

Time City, the Underground City.

Song Shuhang was able to wake up from his coma.

When he woke up, he found himself in the 'medicinal bath' room.

Did Chu Chu move him to this room?

"You're finally awake?" Chu Chu asked, wearing a new curtain dress.

"Did I sleep for a long time?" Song Shuhang rubbed his temples. Even in his sleep, the 88,888 voices wouldn't let him go. For as long as he slept, those 80,000 voices kept chanting.

"You were unconscious for three days and three nights," Chu Chu replied.

It has now been thirty-four days since she and Song Shuhang entered 'Time City'. Converted to outside time, that's almost the third day, right?

"You've been asleep for so long," Song Shuhang said with a wry smile. Then, he cautiously reached out and grabbed the 'medicinal bath copper basin' beside him—he wanted to see if the appraisal-related secret technique was still activated.

After grabbing the copper basin, Song Shuhang no longer saw the 'appraisal rune', and no more wounds appeared on his body!

He was immediately overjoyed. "That's fantastic!"

The effects of the Appraisal Technique Secret Art finally wore off, and he no longer had to worry about being sprayed with appraisal materials every time he touched or saw something.

It seems that as long as I pass out, the 'Appraisal Technique' will end.

Seeing Song Shuhang's happy expression, Chu Chu asked, "Is the curse on you gone?"

"They're gone! At least we don't have to worry about spitting blood at any moment—now we can continue searching for an exit." Song Shuhang jumped up from the ground and stretched his body, which had been unconscious for three days and three nights.

As he stood up, his body made a series of popping sounds like firecrackers.
