Chapter 291: A Moment in Time in the World, and a Hundred Years of Spring (
Chapter 291: The World’s A-Short Thing, Looking Back Again is a Hundred Years of Spring (7100 Words)
The entire North Sea was bustling like never before.
Endless amounts of immortal light swept back and forth across the sky above the sea, the millimeters of light emanating from one cultivator and magic treasure after another.
Regardless of day or night, the place was illuminated.
Even from ten thousand miles away, one could clearly see the constantly flickering light reflecting the sky.
Many cultivators thought that some kind of exotic treasure had appeared here.
After coming here, they realized that it wasn’t what they had imagined, but they didn’t leave either, and many of them stood at the coast and watched from afar.
……
Wang Xiu didn’t realize that the outside world had become a mess in order to find him.
He was immersed in the refining and enlightenment of the Candle Dragon Origin.
Entering a state of oblivion.
Spirits like the Candle Dragon, which were born with extremely high grades, often contained a way of origin that was compatible with heaven and earth.
That was the purest, most pristine truth.
However, it requires an extremely high level of enlightenment in order to realize it and understand it.
It was as if he saw the beginning of the Divine Light.
Witnessing the opening of heaven and earth.
It was as if he saw the derivation of life in chaos and the appearance of the first drop of water in the long river of time.
It was as if he was experiencing a dream.
Calling the wind and the rain.
Traveling through the nine heavens.
Ten thousand miles in an instant.
Sleeping in a dream, waking up in a dream.
The taste is intoxicating.
Wang Xiu had always thought that he was not similar to a daoist in general.
But now he woke up.
Why had so many seekers throughout the ages gone before and after, only to seek a true meaning.
That understanding of the true nature of the world.
To understand the sense of control over everything that comes into view.
It’s mesmerizing.
……
Three years.
It’s gone by in a flash.
Those immortal lights above the North Sea were still there.
However, they were not as vibrant and full of energy and motivation as they were at the beginning.
Many cultivators had numbness on their faces.
Three years of doing one thing around the clock and without the slightest progress.
Not being able to see hope can be despairing.
Even the strongest of Taoist hearts can’t help but be shaken.
“Give up!”
An Earth Immortal Ancestor from the Shushan Immortal Sect came to Luo Binglan and sighed, “It’s hopeless!”
Luo Binglan was still beautiful, only the coldness between her eyes was even greater than it was back then, saying, “He’s still alive!”
In her hand was a grayish jade tablet.
It flickered with a faint millimeter of light in the sunlight, flickering only once in a long while, just like the heartbeat of someone who was about to die!
The Earth Immortal Ancestor of the Shushan Immortal Sect said, “The soul tag’s aura is so weak, either his life is at stake or he’s in a desperate place, isolated from heaven and earth, so even with our means, we can’t reach him, or both!”
Whichever is possible.
Since they had searched for three years without finding it, all the means they could think of had been used.
Then it’s proof.
They can no longer do anything.
Continuing any further would be a waste of effort and would not help.
More and more Immortal Sect powerhouses converged here, looking towards Luo Binglan and Ancestor Snow, wanting to speak.
It was clear that they all came with the same intention.
Luo Binglan didn’t say anything and turned to leave.
The Snow Ancestor sighed slightly, turned his head to look at the people of the various clans, and calmly said, “All of you have already done your best, this sentiment, I, the Three Clearings, will remember.”
The crowd was busy saying, “Fairy polite, your sect’s holy son in our various sects all have kindness, these are this is a part of the matter, only blame me and other means are limited, love can’t help ……”
Snow Ancestor no longer said anything, raised his hand to send off the guests.
The crowd shook their heads and sighed, leaving one after another.
“It’s a pity, a peerless heavenly pride like that is gone just like that.”
“If he keeps growing, his future achievements will be incalculable!”
“The Three Pristine Immortal Sect also had an ill-fated fate, it was not easy to make it to the top, but then it was met with this disaster.”
“There aren’t that many ifs, throughout the ages, how many heavenly prides and heroes have there been, the ones who can grow up are the truly strong ones.”
“Alas, lower your voice, go go go!”
“……”
People were talking, they couldn’t stop sighing and regretting.
Witnessing a bright star fall in front of them.
……
The various sects left, as if they had blown a falling song.
This sea became even more barren.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
The only ones who stubbornly remained were those youngsters who were very close to Wang Xiu.
The sun rose in the east and set in the west.
In the blink of an eye, it was another few years.
Above the deserted island.
A few young people looked at this already incomparably familiar sea, silent, letting the sea breeze ruffle their hair.
Han Yi said, “I’m also leaving.”
Several years had passed, and he was a bit less brash and more composed than before.
No one advised him or questioned him.
They had stayed here for too long and too long.
There was a lot of pressure on all of their shoulders.
It was normal no matter who left.
Just.
The atmosphere remained still rather silent.
Meng Ran arched his hand and said, “Take care, Brother Han!”
Han Yi swept around the crowd, opened his mouth, and ultimately said nothing, turning it into a wisp of a sigh.
He turned around, wandered around the island, found Luo Binglan, Ancestor Snow, and the others, took out a token, and said something like what Ao Canghai had said before he left.
Luo Binglan said, “People of the lower realm such as us, how can we climb into a relationship with the great powers of your upper realm? I can’t afford it!”
This tone of voice caused Han Yi to look embarrassed and at a loss for words.
Luckily, the Snow Ancestor was still there, and took it calmly, saying a few words that were still polite as a courtesy.
Only then did he make the scene less ugly.
……
Several more years.
Zhao Qingyu is also gone.
The Xuan Tian Sect’s side pushed very hard.
She had already stayed in the Cang Yuan Realm for more than ten years, and a dozen years was not too long, not too short, to say that she couldn’t afford to run out of time.
The sect side had already given an ultimatum.
I heard that it was the meaning of that old sect master who loved her the most.
“I think that we’ve been getting one thing wrong!”
Zhao Qingyu stood on that huge reef, facing the setting sun, her face as red as fire, becoming more and more delicate and absolutely beautiful.
The sea breeze moved slightly.
The green skirt hunted.
The more it outlined her undulating and exquisite figure, mesmerizing.
She ruffled the hair around her ears, her red lips moving slightly, ”All along our search has been based on Wang Xiu being seriously injured or dead! But what if …… he is not injured or in trouble? He just couldn’t find the way back ……”
These words sounded like they were comforting the crowd.
But when one thought about it carefully, it did make sense.
It made many of the Three Clear disciples who were in a depressed mood feel more comfortable, and Li Xuanqi and the others’ hearts stirred as if they had opened up new thoughts.
……
“She is right! A person like Wang Xiu, as long as he is still alive, anything is possible! There’s no point in us searching here, he might just have traveled further away!”
Li Xuanqi looked at Zhao Qingyu’s departing back and suddenly said this.
Ji Zidian looked at her and said, “What do you mean?”
Li Xuanqi said, “The heavens and earth are vast, and there are some places we can’t find simply because we’re still weak right now!”
It didn’t take long.
She also left, returning to the Shu Mountain Immortal Sect and announcing her seclusion to the public.
Immediately after that.
Zhang Yuege, Zhuge Changsheng, Zhang Zhong, and the other younger generations also left one after another.
Another three years.
Many of the powerhouses from the Three Clear Immortal Sect also withdrew from the North Sea one after another.
Even Luo Binglan, who had always been the most persistent, suddenly took the initiative to give up on continuing the search.
He then decisively left.
It was just that she didn’t leave with the Snow Ancestor and the others, but instead headed in a different direction.
……
This sea area once again became cold and quiet.
The onlookers were also gone.
Only three people remained on the island.
Meng Ran, Yu Xiaolong and his retinue.
This day.
Meng Ran took a letter and found Yu Xiaolong.
Seeing that he was cleaning up his stubble, he couldn’t help but freeze.
Yu Xiaolong’s beard hadn’t been tended to in over ten years, and in these days on the island, he was looking more and more unkempt, without the appearance of a foppish young master.
Today, however, he suddenly tidied it up.
Meng Ran was slightly stunned and said, “Brother Yu, you’re leaving too?”
Jade Xiaolong sighed, “What’s the point of me staying here when everyone’s gone, it’s not like the Nine Heavens!”
If in the Nine Days, he gave an order, countless people listen to him, really can’t be smashed with money, heavy reward will be brave, there is always a place where you can make strength.
But now, all the great Immortal Sect’s powerhouses had withdrawn, choosing to give up.
He couldn’t do anything by continuing to linger.
As he spoke, he suddenly glanced at the letter in Meng Ran’s hand; “Want me to help bring something again? Bring it!”
Meng Ran smiled awkwardly, “Since Brother Yu is also leaving, then you and I will be traveling together on this trip.”
Yu Xiaolong bristled, “Alright, don’t be tense, I know you’re under a lot more pressure than me! Husband does not rush you, but those of your elder sister, elder brother, and your own sister, which is not anxious? All these years the summons have not been broken, right? Give it to me.”
He took the letter in Meng Ran’s hand and stuffed it into his spatial ring.
Meng Ran was first startled, then smiled bitterly, “The Jade Pope of the Jade Clan really lives up to its name! Since that’s the case, I’m counting on Brother Jade!”
Jade Xiaolong didn’t say anything and casually waved his hand.
Finally.
There was only him and his escorts on this island.
The sea breeze was slightly salty.
Yu Xiaolong stood on the huge reef and looked around, sighing silently.
Staying here for almost fifteen years.
This had taken up a huge part of his life.
Except for the Jade family.
It was also the place where he had spent the most time.
“My lord, we should go!”
Beside his ears, came the urging voice of the old servant.
Yu Xiaolong looked at the choppy sea and murmured, “Brother, I know you didn’t die! But when will we see each other again? I, Yu Xiaolong, once swore that I never owed anyone anything in my life, so don’t make me break my oath.”
……
Finally.
The place fell into complete and utter silence, and there was no one else.
The wild wood of the deserted island is rampant.
The glaciers floating on the sea melted and solidified.
A spring rain.
A winter snow.
This cold sea can’t see everything revive, but it can also perceive the cycle of life and death, and time flows in all its subtleties.
Spring and fall, winter and spring.
Back and forth.
In the blink of an eye, it is tens of years.
From that year when the Dragon Emperor Island came into existence, an entire year had already passed.
It was mid-summer.
The storm on the sea was not apparent.
On a large ship, there were many figures.
There were both men and women, with young faces and extraordinary temperaments, at a glance, they were from prominent families and clans, the men were handsome and the women were young and beautiful.
They stood on the deck, looking at the scenery of the North Sea.
From time to time, the sound of introductions rang out beside their ears.
“Gentlemen, here, this is the location where that Dragon Emperor Island appeared sixty years ago!” A woman in an unusual dress stood before the crowd and introduced herself to the crowd with a brilliant face, “It is said that the day when the Dragon Emperor Island appeared was a day that shocked the world, the rivers flowed backward, the sun and the moon shifted, and there was the shadow of the gods that appeared, it was spectacular and incomparable ah!”
Someone asked curiously, “Dragon Emperor Island? Is that the legendary man-eating island?”
The woman nodded and said, “Precisely. Back then, when Dragon Emperor Island came out, not only did it startle all the great Immortal Sects in my Cang Yuan Realm, the Immortal Sect …… even that lofty Nine Heavens Realm also sent out a large number of Heavenly Pride, wanting to break into it to look for opportune treasures.”
“It’s a pity that those who went in, almost never came out again.”
“There were only a few lucky ones.”
Hearing this.
Those young men on the ship all moved closer to the mast, looking at the surrounding scenery with wide eyes, as if they wanted to see something from the azure waters and the endless sky.
Suddenly, a young girl with very bright eyes spoke playfully, “I heard that those who came back alive from the Dragon Emperor Island were saved by the Three Clear Sacred Son of that year, right?”
The woman was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile, “There is such a thing! The Tai Cang Immortal Sect’s Realist Zhang Zhong and Fairy Liu were precisely one of those who were saved by the Three Clear Saints back then!”
The crowd erupted in clamor.
“Manservant Zhang Zhong? That’s an extremely colorful figure in the cultivation world all these years, and now he’s already one of the seven elders of the Tai Cang Immortal Sect!”
“There’s also Immortal Liu, when it comes to being a supreme female immortal, there are countless suitors, and I heard that quite a few Immortal Sect elders are crazy about her!”
“Not only them, there’s also Immortal Li, Xiao Yue Sword Venerable and so on, many of the people who were rescued together with them at the beginning have basically become famous big shots now.”
The crowd was frantically discussing, many of the names they had heard like thunder, very loud in the cultivation world over the years.
Very legendary.
Discussing these things was also the nature of teenagers.
“You guys, what would it be like if the Three Pristine Saints were still around?”
Suddenly, a teenager’s eyes glowed as he asked out loud.
“Then what’s the point? Back then, the Sanqing Saint Son was the true and genuine Cang Yuan Realm’s number one heavenly pride, and all the various holy sons and daughters were eclipsed in front of him, and were willing to bow to him. He also had a direct impact on the outcome of the battle in the East Sea, this is a hero who saved the entire human race, the Cang Yuan Realm has fallen back tens of thousands of years, there is no such colorful character.”
The young girl who was the first to open her mouth spoke with a strong voice, her eyes shining brightly, her pretty face flushed red, as if she was excited to talk about this topic.
“If he’s still around, I’m afraid that nowadays, he has grown to a point that we wouldn’t even dare to think about.”
“Maybe the realm cultivation can catch up to our Sect Master Zhenren.”
“I think it’s more than that.”
The crowd was all talking, they were familiar with the story of the Three Clear Sage Son, having heard it since they were young.
Words were heard.
Next to them, a young man with a shadowy aura lowered his head, playing with the things in his hand, and said without lifting his head, ”The more you talk, the more exaggerated it gets, you’ve all been fooled by your master teachers! They, the older generation, just like to exaggerate the truth, appearing as if they’ve seen much of the world in their youth! As I see it, the Three Pristine Saints were just lucky to be born in an era where the stars were dim, and only his own unique beauty created his legend. If he was born now, I’m afraid it would be difficult for him to even make a name for himself.”
When these words came out, the young girl was instantly displeased and snapped, “On what basis do you say that?”
The teenager glanced at her and lowered his head again, “You ladies, you just like to be emotional and not rational enough. I’m just being honest, or else you guys think about it, during the era of the Three Clear Sacred Son, other than him, do you guys remember any remarkable heavenly pride? Then look at the present, all the great immortal sects magnates come out, the great world has arrived, in recent years the emergence of the pride of heaven is as many as the hair of the ox, can’t even be counted ……”
The young girl named March crossed her arms and said in a serious manner, “Firstly, you said that the only person famous in that era was the Holy Son of the Three Purities, is it possible that he was too graceful and suppressed the light of all the other heavenly prides, making all of them pale in comparison?”
“Secondly, you said that nowadays, there are many heavenly prides and a great world has arrived! Why don’t you think about where those heavenly prides came from, if it wasn’t for the Three Qing Saint Son’s battle in the East Sea, who spared no effort in consuming his lifespan, summoning the return of 100,000 Ying Spirits to reincarnate, where did this Golden Great World come from?”
“Thirdly, your family’s master, the Ancient Intent Realist, was also one of those who were saved by the Holy Prince of the Three Pristine Ones back then, did his old man not tell you to be grateful?”
The teenager was completely speechless from this dislike, his face reddened and he stammered, “I ……”
“Fourth!”
March pointed at the thing in the teenager’s hand and said, “The Soul Fighting Machine that you hold in your hand and play with every day was also uniquely created by the Three Clear Sage Son in the beginning! Don’t you know that?”
The teenager was completely dumbfounded!
After holding his tongue for half a day, he twisted his head and stopped speaking.
Just then.
A light suddenly appeared in the teenager’s eyes.
His pupils shrank as if he had seen something unimaginable, pointing to the distance and shouting, “Look …… look look ……”
He was so excited that he was incoherent.
The crowd frowned and twisted their heads, about to question what happened to the teenager again.
Suddenly also saw that scene scene, instantly frozen.
That light fell from a high place.
It was as if it was a portion of the sunlight, yet it was completely different from the sunlight, carrying an unspeakable magic power that made people subconsciously want to worship, as if a mortal had met a god.
The light fell on the sea.
The sea melted.
The sea in a radius of thousands of miles was incomparably transparent.
It’s like the realm of the gods.
In the midst of the endless light, whirlpools that shimmered with a strange luster slowly unfolded, like portals.
A figure stepped out from within the portal.
He was dressed in white.
Immortal light emanated from his sleeves.
It was as if an immortal had descended to the world.
Everyone was mesmerized!
A group of young girls were even more dumbfounded, murmuring, “There is actually such a good-looking man in the world!”
……
The sea was silent.
The light blended with the wind.
The man stepped on the waves and came to the ship in a flash of a thousand miles.
The distance was close.
They saw the man’s face more clearly, his skin as flawless as jade, his sword brows and starry eyes, the corners of his mouth with a warming smile, brighter than the warm sun in the dome of the sky.
“Greetings.”
He looked at the crowd and greeted them with a smile.
“Hello former …… seniors.”
Eventually, the woman leading the group was the first to react, and she sensed that the man in front of her had an unfathomable aura, so she hurriedly responded.
The man smiled, “Can you tell me what year it is?”
The woman froze, then blurted out, “New Cang Yuan Calendar year 9469!”
The man’s brows furrowed slightly when he heard the answer, “Has so much time passed? It seems that the effects of the time turbulence in the Candle Dragon Space are indeed great!”
The woman was puzzled; “Senior, what are you saying?”
The man waved his hand and smiled, “It’s fine, thanks a lot!”
Finished speaking.
He turned around and took a step, a gust of wind passed by and he instantly disappeared from everyone’s view.
In an instant, everyone’s pupils shrank.
Sure enough.
This was a saint’s means.
The North Sea is always barren, deserted, in addition to the very different habits of the siren clan, there are few living beings resident here, there are actually saints who are strong here to cultivate, it is also strange.
“You guys don’t say, this senior is really good looking! The first time I saw him, I even thought of what to call our child.”
“Pfft~ Nymphomaniac you.”
“You’re still talking about me, you just had your eyes straightened out! LOL~”
“What am I, you guys look at March, and now you still can’t take back your eyes?”
A woman joked and bumped into the young girl March’s shoulder, teasingly saying, “Still looking, they’ve all gone far away~”
March shook her head, ruffled her hair, and said, “I always feel that he looks somewhat familiar!”
Upon hearing this, the women beside her laughed gently, “That’s not something you can say to us, is it? Why didn’t you say that when people were around just now, maybe we could even meet a love affair?”
March blushed slightly and said seriously, “I’m saying seriously, I always feel like I’ve seen that face somewhere, it’s very familiar ……”
The words came out.
Another woman also said, “In that case, I also have this feeling, and thought it was an illusion?”
At once, quite a few young people opened their mouths, saying that they had the same feeling of familiarity.
Pfft!
It was at this moment that the initially unruly young man directly sat down on the ground, looking at the direction the man had left, crying and laughing, “Of course it looks familiar! That’s the Three Clear Sacred Son!”
A book fell from his arms.
It was none other than a copy of the Legend of the Holy Son of the Three Purities, and the sea breeze flipped the pages of the book, which happened to rest on a portrait.
It bore a slight resemblance to the man just now.
But this picture, however, was far from being able to draw out where his divinity was.
No wonder the crowd could not recognize it for a moment.
The young man’s cheeks were red, trembling with excitement, muttering, “I saw the Three Clear Sacred Son …… He’s still alive, he’s back!”
After all, it was a teenager’s heart.
Wanting to show his differences in front of the beautiful beloved woman, he deliberately showed some rebellious views.
In fact.
Which teenager does not have a hero dream.
At this age, who has not fantasized before going to bed that he or she is some famous hero, waking up in charge of the world, drunkenly lying on a beautiful woman’s knee.
And these decades.
In the entire Cang Yuan Realm cultivation world, when it comes to the word hero, who else can there be except for the Holy Son of the Three Purities?
The dreams of these teenage girls ……
The probability is that they are all just one face.
……
The flow of time in the Candle Dragon Space was different from the outside world.
Sometimes it was fast, sometimes it was slow.
There had been some irregular fluctuations.
Wang Xiu was immersed in enlightenment and could not take into account anything else, and it was not until this moment that he realized that a full sixty years had passed in the outside world.
In the Candle Dragon space, only one year had passed.
“It is said that there are no years in cultivation, and I am also experiencing the feeling of tens of years in the blink of an eye.”
Wang Xiu walked in the void, shaking his head and laughing lightly.
He had walked for sixty years this time.
He did not know how the Three Clear Immortal Sect was doing.
Thinking about this, he moved his mind and the void in front of him flew backwards at an astonishing speed.
If there were any bystanders here.
He would have been surprised to find out.
Those originally dead void, at the moment as if there is a spirit, in the “push” Wang Xiu forward in general.
……
The green mountain is more emerald, the birdsong is more prosperous.
Three Qing Immortal Sect has been in the world for 10,000 years, a few decades of light, for which it is naturally nothing.
But the changes were great.
The place was more lively and prosperous than in the past.
Back then, the Three Clear Immortal Sect was filled with only 20,000 to 30,000 disciples, and evenly divided into each branch, it was even more sparsely populated.
But now, it was popular.
It had at least tripled.
Everywhere, one could see a large number of disciples in uniform costumes practicing the Dao and rehearsing their divine abilities.
Each and every disciple was exuberant in essence.
It was like a sunrise.
Full of vigor.
Spirit Turtle Peak was still bustling with people, and now it had just become the most prosperous place in the entire Three Clear Immortal Sect.
The mission hall was empty at the moment, actually building a mission hall on Spirit Turtle Peak as well, all the disciples had run to this side.
The Dragon Head Peak at the head of the peaks has instead become somewhat desolate.
Wang Xiu passed through the Three Qing Formation and silently landed on the mountain behind Spirit Turtle Peak without disturbing anyone.
He wanted to give his master a surprise to them.
However, when his divine sense swept through, he did not find the figure of Master Luo Binglan and the others.
Not only her, but Sect Leader Zhuo Canglang, Ancestor Snow, and the other elders, none of them were there either.
Even Li Drunken Moon, Ji Zidian and these familiar people were nowhere to be found.
“What happened?”
Wang Xiu frowned slightly, and then felt that it was not like, because at this moment, the Three Clear Immortal Sect did not have half a bit of sadness, but instead, everywhere through the flourishing flavor.
If something big had really happened, it could not be like this.
Huh!
Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth revealed a hint of a smile as he instantly disappeared in place.
……
Cliffside.
Ancient Pavilion.
A magnificent, mature and moving woman sat in front of the table, graceful and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament, but with a faintly convincing majesty between her eyebrows.
She was meticulously looking at the jade slip in front of her and said, “How are the preparations for this year’s Recruitment Conference?”
Beside her, an Elder respectfully said, “Reporting to the Acting Sect Leader, everything is ready as you have instructed, and we guarantee that we will raise the requirements, and would rather have a shortage than a flood!”
“Hm.”
She faintly answered, picking up a vermilion pen to approve on the jade sketch in her hand, and then said, “How is that matter of the Blood Demon Sect going?”
Another Elder reported, “The Acting Patriarch anticipated the matter as if it were God, they really did run into the sphere of influence of the Dragon Tiger Cave Sky, we had contact with the Dragon Tiger Cave Sky long ago, and we directly took them down, one by one!”
“Those maniacs spread rumors about my Three Ching Immortal Sect everywhere outside, insulting my Three Ching’s reputation, they must be severely punished, killing the chickens to warn the monkeys!”
“Yes.”
Another elder added, “By the way, Acting Patriarch, how have you considered the matter of the Yu Hua Sect worshipping under my Three Qing as a vassal?”
The woman raised her eyebrows slightly and silently glanced at that elder.
This elder’s heartbeat instantly accelerated.
A weak sweat broke out on his face and he hurriedly lowered his head.
“That person, the Yuhua Patriarch, has an unhealthy …… reputation Elder Xu, I know that you have an old relationship with the Yuhua Patriarch, but I know even more that it’s not easy for you to come to this point, and no matter what you do, you should be careful and cautious, lest you do something to hold a grudge for the rest of your life, don’t you think so??”
Boundless calmly asked.
However, it was like a mountain pressing down on Elder Xu’s heart, he instantly knelt down and begged repeatedly, “The Acting Sect Leader is right to teach me a lesson! I know I’m wrong!”
The woman’s expression was calm, and she waved her hand blandly.
The three elders hurriedly retired.
The place quickly quieted down.
Only the woman was left alone.
“Whew…”
She let out a deep sigh of relief and stretched her waist, her wide and flashy robes could not hide the fascinating curves that captivated the heart.
A playful voice suddenly rang out, “Senior Sister Xiao, goodbye!”
