Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality-Chapter 513 - The Interlaced Time of Ten Thousand Years (I)
Chapter 513 The Interlaced Time of Ten Thousand Years (I)
That night, the brilliant light from the moon, satellite of the earth, illuminated the whole world through towering ancient trees. Her spacecraft was eroded by unknown substances in the earth’s atmosphere. When it landed on the earth, it had completely been broken. It was hopeless for her to repair the spacecraft alone.
However, her joy could not be destroyed by a few setbacks.
She finally had the same body as his, black hair, black eyes, and ivory white body skin. The features of the earth girl were perfect. She was a rare beauty even on her mother planet.
She borrowed the body of the Earthling woman, and she naturally had to live as her.
Plants and monsters… all things had spirit. Besides the human race, she was surprised that other species on this blue planet could also increase their lifespan by personal ability enhancement… The difference was that self-cultivation of monsters focused on bloodline, plants and other species depended on environment and lucky chance, while human race needed “the Taoist root”.
People on the Earth enhanced personal ability by training Qi. They called themselves Qi-trainers. The key to personal ability enhancement was the so-called “Taoist root” in some people’s body. This thing was invisible and intangible, but it would produce the most intuitive reaction when facing Reiki of the heaven and earth.
It was Qi-trainers who could fly in the sky and burrow down the earth that convinced her that this azure planet, 70% of which is covered by water, was his home planet.
Knowing that Qi-trainers lived a long life, she began to look for him when the two tribes of Jiuli and Xuanyuan were expanding in the primitive world.
His appearance was too ordinary. In the first few years, she almost found nothing, until the Jiuli Tribe expanded to an unusually remote tribe.
That small tribe was barren and weak, but arrogant.
“Behind us, it is the best mountain that all Qi-trainers yearn for, Qingluan mountain.”
She once went up to explore the mountain near this poor tribe herself. With beautiful scenery and abundant Reiki, it was indeed a good place for training Qi and enhancing personal ability. There used to be some magnificent buildings on the top of the mountain. As time passed, only the ruins of the foundation pillars remained.
Hundreds of stone tablets stood on the hillside, and the black crow screamed. It turned out to be more than 300 tombs.
This small tribe had lived here for a long time. It had been on the verge of extinction several times. However, its people seemed to be sheltered by some mysterious power. They had survived and lived from the beginning of the primitive period to the present day.
There were two strange things about the tombs behind the Qingluan mountain.
One was that it was empty inside all tombs without any skeletons. After a long time, she had learned more about Huaxia customs. Later generations gave this kind of tombs a very vivid name: Cenotaph.
Secondly, according to the legend of the small tribe, the top famous Training Qi mountain and the tombs of later generations were both old stuff ten thousand years ago. However, more than 300 stone tablets still looked new.
On these stone tablets, there were always the word “Momo” as inscriber signature while the names of the deceased were different.
No one would use such a casual name. Just by this name, she couldn’t pay much attention to the identity of the monument inscriber.
On the contrary, the tribe itself was once protected by some great power. Some silk paintings were preserved after special treatment. They had been painted with crude method, using grass juice as the pigment. These paintings told the story of a mysterious Qi-trainer killing vampire bat tribe which had done harm to many places thousands of years ago.
The twisted lines were out of shape. The small tribe’s bad ability of telling stories was also unbearable. However, she still recognized the mysterious cultivator pictured by the simple lines… His action of writing in the air was caught by the small tribe very vividly. It was also rare for a man to wear a pearl. She could be sure that the protagonist of the story was the man whom she traveled in starry sky to looking for!
In the long years, she had grown up from an ignorant girl to a princess who could lead the starship team to expand territory.
In the infinitely distance, her body had been annihilated in the endless interstellar travel.
She wanted to find the person who led her to the world of magical spiritual power might because of her crash on him hundreds of years ago. But now, after the vicissitudes of life, such kind of search had become an obsession that supported her to live.
Yes, ridiculous obsession.
She had been aware of the abnormality of this thing at that time. However, she still ignored it subconsciously.
She began to search for his whereabouts frantically on the earth. It was said that when Qi-trainers’ personal ability reached a certain level, they would become immortals and then enter the immortal world.
At that time, the distinction between immortal world and primitive world was not very clear. There was still news of immortals on the world. When she met him hundreds of years ago, he could go on interstellar travel alone, which was not a Qi-trainer’s method. With his personal ability, he must have infinite lifespan.
He must still be alive.
She tried every means to find him on the earth.
She once provoked the human race war, trying to attract the attention of existence above the human world. She once collected legends of all parts of primitive world, trying to analyze some clues.
When the human race became prosperous and human Training Qi-trainers developed on a large scale, she was shocked by the strength of this race. She finally made a plan to influence the land of Huaxia for thousands of years, depleting the foundation of Qi-trainers. And if possible, she wanted to disrupt this kind of progress of civilization—it was hard to imagine how could any force in the universe compete with the earth if the earth developed like this and its people’s evolution reached its extreme.
After all, the keywords like “the Taoist root” and “Training Qi” have never been heard during her long interstellar journey. It was almost certain that this was a civilization with unlimited potential that could not be replicated by other planets! Various arts of nature in the hands of the barbarians on the earth, and their long lifespan… such threats to interstellar civilization were inestimable.
Since it couldn’t be replicated or controlled, as the princess of the high-level alliance star empire, she had to strangle such a crisis in the cradle. The interstellar survival law formed in the endless years showed that the so-called “peace” was the slavery of the strong to the weak. The resources of the universe were not inexhaustible. She didn’t want her home planet to be threatened one day.
Her actions were very secretive. Subconsciously, she hoped “someone” would stand up to stop her, and she even hoped the person could be him…
Coincidentally, all gods and Buddhas just pretended to be deaf and dumb. They disappeared collectively to acquiesce in her behavior of destroying the foundation of personal ability enhancement on the earth.
Her plan was very successful. Hiding but manipulating the current situation could help her kill boring time…
Until she was counterattacked by the Jiuli Tribe and sealed in the underground world of the desert with a stone tablet, she finally reconsidered some clues that had been neglected in the torture which could drive people crazy.
For example, at the beginning of the primitive period, there were no gods or Buddhas on the earth. The sporadic clues of primitive legends indicated that when he traveled on the earth, it was the beginning of the primitive period… In the era of raging monsters, someone passed down the training Qi formula to help the human race protect itself, and then the human race could gradually become stronger.
She began to think—was the earth his home planet, or was it just a similarity?
In the interstellar transmission, due to some indescribable accident, the point of time she reached was the end of the primitive period when the human race dominated. And his traces and legends were in the primitive early days, beginning of the human race.
Between the two period, there was a mismatch. They were not separated by a physical distance of light-years away. In fact, it was a period of time that cannot be surpassed year after year, which was almost tens of thousands of years.
Even if she was willing to stay on the earth for ten thousand years, she still could not offset the huge gap of that ten thousand years.
In her life of long finding and waiting, his image became more and more shining.
However, in his long life, he just passed by her planet by accident. Six years was so short that he had no impression. He just left the personal ability enhancement ancient book which she regarded as a treasure casually.
Her existence was just a meaningless “alien consciousness.”
…
The flames are boundless, scorching the half-melted snow on the Green Mountains.
Flames are ranging. Wherever they are, they can instantly burn the grass which is still soaked in the snow. The wet trees are also burning.
With the help of flames, the snow melts at an irrational speed and the soil cannot absorb it. The snow water with icy scum hits down from the high terrain and moves crazily along the low place. A snow flood is about to come in the blink of an eye.
Baojia wakes up. Her eyes flicker when she looks at Lin Luoran with mixed feelings.
Lin Luoran doesn’t have time to notice these small details. The fake saintess goes crazy out of some reasons. Green Mountains will get drowned in a flash, and the man in robe in the body of the Acacia tree now looks indifferent… Lin Luoran can only use her own sword to float in the air together with Baojia.
She wonders why the man in robe who suddenly appeared like “savior” have not stopped the evil deeds of the fake saintess.
The man in robe steps on the rising water. Seeing her worried little face and knowing that she still won’t hide her emotions, he can’t help but stop his casual smile.
“The catastrophe of the Earth was inevitable. The nine-tailed fox tribe separated the Green Mountains to make it an independent place. However, it only delayed the arrival of the catastrophe…Even if it is not a flood, there will be landslides, earthquake, or bushfire that cannot be extinguished in the future. Can you understand my explanation?”
The catastrophe of the earth… Does he mean that Alpha Alliance invaded the earth three hundred years ago, the earth became a scorched earth, mutant monsters seized the space of human, and tens of millions of species were extinct?
The meaning of his words is that some people have expected this disaster a long time ago, including the nine-tailed fox family which wanted to save its home by separating the Green Mountains. However, a destined catastrophe would not be stopped just because of what the nine-tailed fox family did. The Green Mountains have not become scorched land, but will it become a drowned nation after lingering for more than three hundred years?
Having known that, Lin Luoran still purses her lips tightly when thinking that this is the home of cyan little fox. She also sees those ordinary animals which have just awakened from the pain of freezing and can only hold onto the driftwood to survive when the flood comes.
“Destined catastrophe? So you did nothing to save the earth from ruin… Just as though there was a powerful person like you, the earth was still destroyed by the invasion of interstellar civilization?”
Not to mention the man in robe with such a personal ability that she doesn’t even dare to think about, even if there were more Gathering Vitality cultivators, the war 300 years ago would never end up like that! Because the Earth Reiki was drying up, this planet was completely abandoned in that way. As a native earth cultivator, Lin Luoran feels very uncomfortable at this moment.
The man in robe looks at her expression and knows almost Lin Luoran’s thoughts.
Thinking of her stubborn temper, he doesn’t intend to explain to her why he couldn’t interfere in the catastrophe.
However, he cannot remain indifferent.
“The water word figure you wrote is still not good enough. Take a closer look. I will only write this once.”
Lin Luoran raises her head in surprise when she hears it. Is the man in robe going to help?
