Chapter 343.2 (1/2)

Returning To The External Sea

“No. Not me… But my dau… no, sister. Her name is Bei Xiaoman. She’s staying in one of the palaces of the Lost World Palace’s branch in the Rain World. It seems to be a place called the Endless Sea. When I return to the Northern Heaven, I will try to urge her. If you want to ascend to the heavens in the future, you just need to find her and tell her you’re Lu Bei. Then she will help you in preparing the passage and Realm Gates to aid you in ascending to the Upper World.”

“I think I would need to further consider this offer.”

Ning Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this moment. Secretly, he said this in his heart.

With the grudges between me and Bei Xiaoman, that little girl would very likely meddle in my ascension such as collapsing the World Passage or the Realm Gate while I am passing through to kill me during teleportation...

Therefore, Ning Fan would not dare to accept that ascension spot even if Bei Yao was willing to give it to him.

Besides that, Ning Fan had not really considered ascending to the heavens while he was still at the Divine Transformation Realm. At the very least, he would not consider this at all before succeeding in slaying Emperor Moksha of the Devil World.

“Mm, even though we won’t meet again in the future, I still sincerely wish you… to have an infinitely bright future…”

Yuan Yao gently tore off the seal on her forehead. All of a sudden, her aura force returned to the Shedding Void Realm.

In the end, she still had to leave. Ning Fan and her were after all just like star-crossed lovers who were not fated to be with each other forever. What she could feel was the helplessness of meeting the right person at the wrong time.

“Sister Bei Yao, are you leaving now?”

“Bei Yao!”

All women there turned to look at Yuan Yao. Their gazes made Yuan Yao suddenly forget her tired and irritated feelings. She looked up to them, smiling through tears.

These are really interesting memories…

I, as an immortal expert at the Shedding Void Realm, can actually be sisters with a group of Divine Transformation Realm juniors. Moreover, some of them are even from different races.

“If there is a chance, perhaps we will all meet again…” Yuan Yao sighed inwardly. Even though she had clearly arrived at the stage where she forgot what love is, she still had an emotional response.

As she performed a hand seal, a massive magic power surged. A huge Realm Gate suddenly appeared between heaven and earth. Yuan Yao gritted her teeth and made a step forward, disappearing from their eyes.

The emotions she experienced throughout the journey had surprisingly loosened the bottleneck of Yuan Yao’s cultivation base.

The Venerated Indifference Realm was not about being heartless… In the past, she was heartless. In the Star Palace, however, her emotions were roused. Perhaps this encounter would cause her power to increase quite a lot.

Of course, that was something that would only happen in the future.

Wu Yan and Yue Lingkong sighed with emotion while Xi Ran felt her nose swell again.

“Sister Bei Yao is gone…”

“Silly girl! Everything or everyone that meets will part eventually. There is nothing you can blame as meeting and parting aren’t for us to control…” Wu Yan didn't know what to say about Xi Ran.

She slightly raised her head and looked at Ning Fan feeling speechless for a moment.

After a long while, only then did she muster up her courage and said lightly.

“Lu Bei, we need to go back to the Second World first to hand over something to Lu Daochen. Then, we will return to the Spirit King Palace. After that, the Spirit King will probably give an order to move the entire Second World to the Land of Demons in the Upper World using a secret technique… After all, the demons in the Second World were originally members of the ancient demon race of the Land of Slumber. There is nothing wrong for them to ascend to the Immortal Demon World again…”

“Is that so? Then I would need to trouble you to take care of Wan Er and the Luo Yun tribe in the future.”

”Aren't you going back to the Second World with us? Sister Wan Er would probably want to see you too.” It seems that Xi Ran treated almost everyone as her elder sister. Perhaps she likes being a younger sister to other people ever since she was born.

”No. Even if I go back, I will also leave immediately and it will only make Wan Er feel sad parting with me once again. Maybe someday in the future when I no longer need to stain my hands with blood in this cultivation world and there is no longer any enemy chasing after me, I might then be able to put down everything and find you all to live a bland but warm mortal life. What Wan Er looks forward to seeing must be my future self that has already let go of all my burdens. She is waiting and I am also waiting for that day to come…”

Ning Fan's eyes shined with hope. Mortal people’s lives were dull and peaceful. Thus, they often long for a passionate and exciting life like the ones in their legends.

A cultivator’s life, however, was centered on fighting. Fighting with the heavens, fighting with other cultivators, and even fighting with their own destiny. In the end, they often find themselves exhausted and eager to have an ordinary life.

While their hearts do feel tired, they would not stop moving forward. If they stop, they will then be trampled upon by others and treated like corpses and bones that pave their paths!

It was a journey with no return.

“Yan Er, Ran Er, I have nothing good to give you both but there are two sword crystals here. Take it with you. Once the single Void Refinement Realm attack within the crystal is activated, even a Peak Divine Transformation Realm expert will certainly die after being struck by it! As for Half-Step Void Refinement Realm experts, they will also run away after finding out about these crystals…”

Ning Fan took out two sword crystals. These were of course seized from Zi Chuan.

”Isn’t it a little too costly...” Even with Wu Yan's identity as a demon imperial concubine, she was unable to get even one of those sword crystals. Her talent was not bad, but she just was not valued highly within her race.

”Is this a gift ...” Xi Ran eyes suddenly twinkled like stars and a smile bloomed across her face. Since she was the little princess of her own race, she had no shortage of items for self-defense. However, she still regarded this piece of sword crystal as a precious treasure because it was given by Ning Fan.

”This gift can almost offset 50 million immortal jades ... Brother Lu Bei, you still owe me 900 million immortal jades. The next time I see you, I will definitely ask from you… Oh yes!”

She still had not forgotten her one billion immortal jades that Ning Fan took away from her.

But she suddenly recalled something which caused her, someone who always says whatever she had in mind, to be a little uneasy.
