Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality-Chapter 515: The New King (I)
Actually, two of the opportunities have been used to save Lin Luoran’s friend. The exceptional opportunity is used to teach her to train Qi. For this time, the sacred pearl pulled her primordial spirit into the space. If the body of a cultivator of Gathering Vitality period is destroyed, it only means to rebuild a physical body… with the previous experience, it will only take merely hundreds of years if a cultivator wants to re-cultivate to the level before his Possession.
Therefore, this crisis at most would cost Lin Luoran’s body, but it would never endanger her life. The man in robe chose to help because Lin Luoran’s violent emotional swings endanger the foundation of her primordial spirit. From the perspective of the man in robe, as long as the primordial spirit is still there, whether Lin Luoran’s body is beautiful or ugly, she is still “Lin Luoran”. However, once the primordial spirit dissipates, even if there is a body with the same face as hers, it means nothing but a walking corpse.
If he didn’t help her twice, he should be able to protect her in her whole personal ability enhancement process. It’s just that although Lin Luoran is not shrewd, she has been mindful since she was a child. She has been loyal to friends. She will be guilty if she doesn’t help her friends… for the two “wasted” opportunities, why should he speak out and bother her?
A small vortex appears in the cumulonimbus cloud in the sky.
The vortex rotates at a very high speed. It pulls clouds and raindrops as big as soybeans have fallen down. Lightning and thunder suddenly arrive, and the center of the vortex shots out a beating arc. The wind is violent. Some small trees are uprooted while big trees lurch. Many soil particles are swept into the whirlpool by the wind and disappear in the blink of an eye.
“Look, the three chances are gone, and time space rules feel it immediately. I can’t stay here even for another second.”
The man in robe says casually, as if he is confident about their reunion after this separation.
Lin Luoran has no doubt that if the man in robe continues to stay, the expanding vortex above his head will suck in the entire Green Mountains world. This must be what the man in robe said—the backlash of the time and space rules.
The man in robe believes in her very much. As the selected inheritor, Lin Luoran has not yet known what she has to inherit, but she has always been responsible. She will never be a person who only enjoys her rights but not fulfill her obligations.
She has enjoyed the magical sacred pearl space and embarked on the journey of personal ability enhancement. One day, when it is time to perform her duty, she will not dodge it if it is not against her moral.
“Don’t worry. I will work hard!”
The man in robe’s eyes become gentler. He has always been smiling since he was here, but now even his eyes are smiling.
“Well, I believe it.”
I believe you, the girl never promise easily.
The whirlpool doubles as they speak. The man in robe knows that it is time, and he wants to tell Lin Luoran something. Eventually, he doesn’t say anything and only waves at her.
“Well… bye.”
Lin Luoran’s eyes well up with tears. The man in robe has already been standing in the fierce mountain wind and closes his eyes gradually.
The wind and rain stop abruptly. The mountains restore peace. Branches of trees are broken, and the knee-high grass is knocked over on the ground. Without these things as evidence, what happened is just like a dream.
Lin Luoran stares at the sky blankly for a while. She touches her cheek with her hand and finally realizes that she is crying. Acacia tree monster’s back is straight and upright. She stands still with the posture before the cloud and rain dissipate. Lin Luoran feels that she may still be alive and calls her in a low voice.
Acacia tree monster opens her eyes after a few seconds. Seeing the scene in front of her, she is confused and alert… Anyone who suddenly loses consciousness and then wakes up in a strange place will probably have the same reaction as her.
Lin Luoran is very disappointed. She immediately realizes that the man in robe has really disappeared.
In fact, returning to the original place may actually be a good thing for a god’s mind. Lin Luoran comforts herself and hides the strange and unspeakable emotions in her heart.
“What happened?” Voiddy raises her delicate eyebrows. For her, she should never feel emotions like confusion. In an instant, she becomes the charming “Voiddy” again.
Sure enough, Acacia tree monster and the man in robe have completely different temperament. Lin Luoran is a little melancholy, and says gently.
“It’s a long story…Are you sure you want to know?”
Voiddy thinks that she lost consciousness inexplicably and woke up on a strange mountain. It’s like someone has stolen her life. It makes her feel bad in front of this female cultivator Lin Luoran, so she only just snorts without questioning.
“Oops!”
The female monster suddenly remembers the spirit herb she found. It is soon about to ripen. She turns into a beam of blue light and flies into the sky. Lin Luoran can’t see her in the blink of an eye.
Lin Luoran slowly walks down the hill to the riverside where Baojia is now.
Baojia stands by the water lonely. She turns her head to Lin Luoran hesitantly. Lin Luoran sees her look. Baojia left on her own because of the bewilderment of the lark before. She wanted to help in the frozen Green Mountains incident. However, she was captured by the fake saintess. Lin Luoran thinks she must feel embarrassed about all these, so she cannot help but say something to comfort her.
“This was designed to catch me from the beginning, but it hurts you.”
Baojia wants to shake her head to deny it but she thinks that there is still some unfinished business. This is not the good time and place to talk, so she doesn’t say anything.
They walk along the river. The dragon skeleton that was left in the upper reaches of the river has been hit by the flood and now it is in the middle reaches. Lin Luoran puts it back to the space and becomes worried about cyan little fox and Liao who were left in the stone temple… especially Liao.
Baojia’s flying sword was lost in the stone palace, so she naturally wants to find it. The two decide to go to the stone palace together.
Since leading Baojia to the road of personal ability enhancement, Lin Luoran has imagined sharing the beauty of flying in the blue sky with her friend for countless times. However, due to all sorts of accidental mishaps, it only happens after more than 300 years when she has gathered essence and Baojia has done with the Bearing Essence Period. It can only say that the god of destiny makes fools of the people.
When they escaped, Baojia first used the blood escape spell, and then they were carried all the way by the silver dragon. Unconsciously, they are now thousands of kilometers away from the stone hall. It takes quite a bit of effort for them to fly back on the sword.
When the two rush to the stone hall, they find that not only cyan little fox and Liao but also thousands of ice pupas hung upside down before all disappeared… they must have escaped while the snow melts.
What about cyan little fox and Liao?
One person and one fox were both seriously injured. They can’t just leave on their own in the blink of an eye, right?
…
Soon after Lin Luoran is rescued by Baojia, the lark took the lead, taking cyan little fox and Liao to hide in the tunnel together.
What the lark misses is that this underground tunnel that directly connects the Green Mountains to the outside world has long been blocked by ice. The lark is leading the three monsters and the two “wounded”. It is troublesome and dangerous to turn back but they also can’t move forward because of the blocked road.
A powerful black-back bear monster has been frustrated for this day’s experience for a long time. It can’t vent its anger, and now it is trapped in such a situation. It can’t be angry with the lark that is nicely taking them away, so it can only punch the mountain wall with anger.
A few fragments of Green Mountains stone fall, and the lark turns its head about to scold it. It suddenly sees the place where the black-back bear just punched. There are some twisted stitches on the mountain wall.
“What?!”
The lark flaps its wings and flies over. This mountain is the highest place of the Green Mountains. It shouldn’t be so weak, right?
It pecks the wall a few times with its beak, and then beckons to the black-back bear with joy. “Come on! More punches!”
It’s totally true that bears are strong and honest. It walks forward honestly. In order to make it easier to exert its strength, it puts Liao who is on its back on the other side. It stretches its arms and punches the wall.
By the eighth punch, the solid Green Mountains rock wall collapses backwards, exposing a hole for two people to enter and exit.
If Liao is awake, he must be depressed. Why did he and Lin Luoran only meet the lake, while the big stupid bear punches casually and opens up another road luckily?
The black-back bear picks Liao from the lime dust on the ground and puts him back on its back. With the lark’s order, they enter the cave one after another.
Bears are usually blind. Even though bear monsters have become intellectual and have personal ability, their eyesight is still not so good. The black-back bear takes the lead and it almost falls to the ground upside down. The corner of the lark’s eyes twitches. The bird has to spit out a fireball from its mouth and puts it on its shoulder like a small light bulb. It lights the black stone cave immediately.
The mountain wall was smashed open by the black-back bear’s eight punches. The broken place is three feet thick. This place must have been hit before they are here. Now it is beaten by the black-back bear, so the cracks appear.
The lark checks the fracture. There is no sign of inhibition, and the mountain wall is very smooth. This is really strange because it is excavated by men.
The lark looks into the cave and finds that the stone cave has a square radius of ten feet. Only a large, two-person high stone stands in the northwest. There is no other way out. The lark is a little disappointed. Does the black-back bear smash the mountain wall in vain? It doesn’t want to admit this so it rummages through every corner of the stone room. Nothing is found. When it feels frustrated, it hears the bear smirking.
It turns out that it finds a few small flowers painted on the big boulder near the ground. The flowers are messy and even uglier than the graffiti of a careless bear, so it can’t help but smirk.
The lark can’t figure out who drew these flowers here. The lines are distorted, and the color is only half dyed. They seem to be just some very common colorful flowers on the Green Mountains. Anyway, there is no way forward, but there is a woman chasing behind them. The lark is now not in a hurry to escape and just concentrates on studying the boulder and the colorful flower marks.
After a long time, the three monsters have already been anxious. The lark helplessly spreads its hands, saying that they should either stay in the cave or backtrack. If they are not lucky, they will meet the evil woman on the way… Black-back monster and the other three monsters lower their heads. They are persuaded by the sophisticated lark. But it’s a pity that the lark finds nothing even as the fake saintess gets out of control, flames cause a flood in the Green Mountains, and the hair on its neck almost goes off because of anxiety.
The ice quietly melts into water that intrudes into the cave. It teaches the monsters a vivid lesson—this cave only has an entrance that the bear punched open. The snow water rushes in, and the monsters immediately stagger.
Liao is on the back of the black-back bear. The cyan little fox is also unconscious and falls out, knocking heavily on the big boulder!
When it hits the wall, it spits out mouthful fox blood, which happens to splash on the unfinished colorful flowers.
The last red petal is filled with fox blood, and the outline of the colorful flower gradually become vivid. The boulder rumblingly moves to one side, revealing the real way out.
A more violent flood strikes. One person, one fox, and four monsters have been forced into the small cave…
