Chapter 548: Lans Epiphany (2/2)
This was the greatest difference between Lan and most others. Even though he had been at the very top of the world for a long time, he still wished to help those he cared about.
Although he was not a person who would care about the innocent, he was willing to go the extra mile for the special people in his life.
After knowing that Hui Yue had arrived in this world, he knew that his obsession with Lin Zhiqing had to be resolved. He had found the Rulebreaker, and had a chance to meet her again. He would help her regain life, and return to the world of the living, but after that, it was up to her to decide if she wished to spend her life alongside him.
He would have to let go and get on with his own life as well. It was not that he did not love her enough; it was that he loved her too much, and he was willing to let her go free.
If she remained with him purely out of gratitude for returning her to the living world, then they would likely end up hurting one another, so now he wished for life to move on.
These thoughts were getting clearer and clearer in his mind as the meeting drew nearer. He had long been blinded by his obsession and grief, but now he knew that while he did not regret the many years looking for a way to resurrect her, he was not willing to spend his whole life solely for her.
Lan felt his body grow light. While his previous cultivation had always been smooth and without problems, he had never before experienced an epiphany like now.
He did not cause a great change in the surrounding energy, but it was as if countless small explosions went off within his body, causing energy to fill his meridians to the brim.
Previously, he had been beneath the Deity Realm, but due to the sudden rupture of a significant part of his seal, he shot straight to the realm of the Immortals once more.
The breath that hung all over Lan's body went through earth shattering changes, but only those who were strong enough could sense it. While his body changed, the surroundings remained the same, and others would never guess how much difference this sudden epiphany made to Lan.
Xue Wei had been cultivating by Lan's side, and while he did not sense what rank the mingshe reached, he could sense that his aura became much more profound and intimidating.
He left the meditative state and glanced at the snake that still did not move. While he was still stuck in his beastly shape, his scales had begun shining with a beautiful pearl-like luster.
