Chapter 1314 - In this life, I only want to meet you again (1/2)

The three paintings represented three different stages of the Scholarly Sage’s life.

In the first painting, there were auspicious clouds that came from the east and covered the entire sky. In addition to that was violent lightning, with two dragons flying together. This was likely a phenomenon that occurred when the Scholarly Sage had been born.

In the second painting, the countless books should be a scene from the Scholarly Sage’s childhood. When he was five years old, the Scholarly Sage had read many books and learned all about the world.

In the third painting, there was the rear view of the blue-haired woman that had guided the Scholarly Sage onto the path of cultivation. She was probably related to Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark of the Nine Provinces Number One Group. When Song Shuhang was in the reversed Myriad Books Mountain, he had seen that the appearance of this blue-haired female cultivator was very similar to that of Senior Skylark.

Song Shuhang said, “It really does have something to do with the scholarly faction.”

Also… it’s possible that this foggy dream is directly related to the ‘Scholarly Sage’.

Su Clan’s Sixteen asked, “These pictures are related to the scholarly faction?”

Song Shuhang nodded, and replied, “These three paintings describe three different periods of the Scholarly Sage’s life. They state that he was extraordinary at birth, when he was young, and when he was practicing. With the help of a guide, the Scholarly Sage began to establish his foundation and advanced at incredible speed. Within half a month, he had opened the major apertures and jumped over the dragon gate, ascending to the Second Stage.”

“It does sound quite amazing.” Soft Feather nodded. Being able to rush to the Second Stage within half a month was indeed ‘extraordinary’.

Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “I also know some things about this matter. Later, the Scholarly Sage practiced faster and faster, and was unstoppable. In only one year, he ascended to the Third Stage Realm, reaching the realm which other cultivators would take dozens of years to reach.”

Su Clan’s Sixteen had also partic.i.p.ated in the ‘Myriad Books Mountain, Still Pond of Wisdom’ matter.

Soft Feather sighed, and said, “Three Stages in a single year. Amazing, as expected of the Scholarly Sage.”

“Yiyaya~ Hehe~” Fairy Creation smiled widely.

Soft Feather continued, “However, Senior Song is even more amazing as it only took him four months to reach the Fourth Stage Realm. He was over half a year faster than the Scholarly Sage.”

Song Shuhang smiled wryly. “I can’t be compared to the Scholarly Sage. He cultivated step by step on his own. As for me, I was just lucky and had several fortuitous encounters… With that, I somehow reached the Fourth Stage Realm without even knowing it.”

When he looked back, he felt that his cultivation path made no sense.

He had been an ordinary mortal not too long ago. Then, without him even knowing it, he’d already reached the Fourth Stage.

In the previous semester, when he had just entered the path of cultivation, he would have never expected that he would be able to progress this fast!

Seriously, even among mortals, he was the most ordinary of them all.

Soft Feather said, “Since this dream is related to the Scholarly Sage, let’s open the gates and enter!”

Su Clan’s Sixteen glanced at Fairy Creation. After seeing that she didn’t stop either her or Soft Feather, she took a step towards the gate, and pressed her hand against the door.

The heavy gates opened. There was also fog within, but this fog was golden.

Soft Feather laughed, and said, “Is this smog? It’s golden, so could it be that there’s a lot of gold particles in the fog?”

Su Clan’s Sixteen looked at Fairy Creation. “Senior Fairy Creation, can you sing a song to dispel the fog?”

Fairy Creation smiled.

She stepped forward and placed her hand on the door frame.

In the next moment, her figure became transparent.

Soft Feather frowned, and said, “Fairy Creation, there seems to be something wrong with your current state.”

Fairy Creation softly said, “I’m unwilling, but I do not have the means to make you stay. I see you, but I cannot meet you. In this life, I only want to meet you again.”

This was the first time that complete statements came out of her mouth; it was no longer the gibberish that she’d been spouting before.

“It would be great if there was another life, a life in a new era, in a new city, with a new ident.i.ty, and the opportunity to meet you.” Fairy Creation’s figure gradually faded, and she nearly completely disappeared.

Afterward, she began to sing.

There weren’t any lyrics; it was a song composed purely of random vowels.

The singing was long, gentle, and very sad.

The golden mist rose and turned into a golden liquid. Then, this golden liquid descended as golden raindrops.

Before they knew it, Su Clan’s Sixteen and Soft Feather had tears streaming down their cheeks.

The song was like tear gas, and the people who heard it wouldn’t be able to stop crying.

Fortunately, Ye Si was not here… If she was, her tears might form a small lake.

“What’s the name of this song?” Soft Feather said with tears streaming down her face.

Fairy Creation shook her head.

After that, her figure completely disappeared.

“Fairy Creation… Who is she?” Su Clan’s Sixteen asked while sniffling.

Song Shuhang said, “Perhaps she’s a powerful senior of the scholarly faction? She seems to be waiting for someone, wis.h.i.+ng to be by their side.”

The gate opened, and the golden fog that had turned into golden raindrops descended and revealed a world inside the door.

It was a desert, and the golden raindrops fell and merged into small streams in the desert.

At the very center of the desert was a dilapidated pavilion.

There was nothing else.

Soft Feather said, “Let’s go in and take a look.”

She grabbed Su Clan’s Sixteen’s little hand, and the two entered the desert together.

Song Shuhang shouted, “Wait!”
