Chapter 129 - Going North (1/2)

Under the watchful eyes of everybody, no one shows up on the platform over the sea before it disappears.

The sea is so vast. n.o.body noticed that a person popped up on the platform one second before it disappeared completely.

When she wakes up, Lin Luoran has floated far away from the Bermuda Triangle area.

Thinking of the fight which ended in a tie, Lin Luoran decides to put the female corpse behind. After all, the secret land is closed and no human cultivators are detained there…. Even if the dead woman covets the s.p.a.ce, she will have to wait 100 years until she can come after Lin.

The dead woman will have to rely on the Possession spell to get out of the secret land, but Lin will not stop cultivating herself… Let alone the fact that Lin may be stronger than the dead woman by then, Lin Luoran never has unnecessary anxieties. There are so many days and nights in 100 years, and she may as well focus on her cultivation rather than live in fear.

Worries never help people solve the problem. Only persistence and hard work can help people thoroughly remold themselves.

The trip to the secret land exhausts her. Lin Luoran now just wants to follow her heart and let the wave take her anywhere.

Everlasting water Reiki are flowing over the sea. Lin Luoran could have made a water dome, yet she chose to get intimate with the sea and just lie in the water.

Little fish are swimming around her curiously. Lin is actually floating with a group of sea fish and heading deeper into the sea with the tide. She is not aggressive and she is going along with the fish so the fish don’t try to get rid of this “huge thing” around them. Some lazy fish even grip Lin’s clothes with their teeth and float with her in order to save energy.

Sometimes, Lin Luoran catches a starfish. She plays with it by gently pinching its soft body then lets it go.

Sometimes, sea turtles come around to catch the fish. Though turtles seem to be slow on the land, they can swim very fast in the sea.

When she is hungry, Lin Luoran emerges from the water and takes out some peaches growing in her s.p.a.ce to eat. The fish love the little pieces of peach Lin drops into the water and they always fight for the pieces like peach is the best bait.

Lin’s dad is a fan of fis.h.i.+ng. Lin Luoran is thinking about giving him some of the peach “bait” so that he can beat all his fellow fishermen.

On the second thought, Lin Luoran wonders that is this taking advantage of the s.p.a.ce to cheat?

A bullhead can’t get used to Lin’s sudden appearance and disappearance. It bites her dress hard but it still is left out of the s.p.a.ce when Lin disappears again. The bullhead almost bursts into tears — certainly, its tears are invisible since it lives in the sea.

At first, Lin Luoran sometimes sees fis.h.i.+ng boats. She doesn’t want her fish friends to be caught in the nets so she always leads the fish to another route — by using the peach as the bait. The temptation of the peach makes the fish forget about the fact that they are migrating and follow Lin wherever she goes.

Later, the sea water gets colder and the fis.h.i.+ng boats are nowhere to be found.

Lin Luoran reaches a shallow sea. She a.s.sumes that this is the destination of the fish, and she takes her leave and floats to the colder sea on her own.

First, there is thin ice on the sea. Then a thick layer of ice is over Lin’s head.

Looking through the ice from the sea, sunlight becomes even bright and dazzling after the refraction.

Lin Luoran breaks through a piece of floating ice and emerges from the water to take a breath. A white kingdom of ice and snow is in front of her eyes.

It seems that the snowstorm has just stopped. After seeing the chunky creature on a piece of floating ice which is trying to catch fish, Lin Luoran finally realizes where she is — this is a polar bear so clearly she is not at the South Pole.

The polar bear stares at Lin Luoran, the uninvited guest, seemingly it is suspecting that she comes here to rob its fish. Lin Luoran bursts into laugh. She dives into the sea again and catches two fat fish. Lin throws one of the fish to the young polar bear which is an amateur of catching fish.

The polar bear isn’t tamed by the fish as Lin expected. It eats the fish up and leaves, giving Lin Luoran the view of its back.

Lin doesn’t care about the polar bear’s ungratefulness. She gets on the ice and prepares to have the first hot meal for days.

She is enjoying everything. She blends in the fish and floats in the sea all the way to the North Pole.

If she never stepped on the path of cultivation, a place like the North Pole would only exist in her dream or doc.u.mentaries.

This trip of random drift helps alleviate Lin’s exhaustion from all the fighting in the secret land. Her state of mind also becomes wider and more inclusive while she drifts on the vast sea.

Forget about the temporary gains and losses. Be a cultivator in the mortal world.

Maybe she can travel around the planet?

Her heart yearns for this. Cold wind blows and her wet clothes are sticking to her body. Even with her current physique, Lin Luoran feels cold.

She has been soaking in the seawater for so long. She enjoyed it. However, after going ash.o.r.e, she feels uncomfortable because of the salty seawater. Standing on the glaciers, Lin Luoran casts a fire spell which barely burns a hole on the ice. After the fire is out, water in the hole is steaming. The hot water is so attractive in this world of ice.
