Cang River Town.
Geng Tian told Mei 'er and Lu Zhenlei everything he knew. The three of them were silent for a long time. They found it unbelievable that Uncle Yun had suddenly betrayed them. Geng Tian's injuries had been fully healed after a few days of Lu Zhenlei's full treatment. This Vast River Barren Town was once a lively small town, but due to the earth-shattering war between demons and monsters half a month ago, it had become a ruin. Without the flow of water, the refugees began to panic. Some people had already begun to flee to the outside world…but there were still a few who insisted on staying here to guard their homes.
" Geng Tian…Since you've come down the mountain to cultivate, then follow us…Miss Xiaoyan's whereabouts are unknown, but Martial Uncle Yun shouldn't make things difficult for her. How about this…We're going to Zhongyang City to do something big for Master. With you by our side, we can take care of each other…After it's done, we'll search for Miss Xiaoyan's whereabouts together…"
" Okay…" Mei 'er saw Geng Tian promise and smiled. The three of them walked out of the abandoned house. Outside were all refugees. Mei' er felt sad as she looked at them. Tears silently flowed down her face. Geng Tian noticed Mei 'er's tears and caught them with his hand.
" What's wrong?..."
" It's me…It's me who let them down…" Mei 'er's soft voice sounded very sad. Geng Tian didn't know how to comfort her. He sighed and saw a group of refugees worshipping something in front of a monument not far away. He couldn't help but feel puzzled. He gently pulled Mei' er and the three of them walked towards the crowd.
" May…the gods of the Cang River bless us…Let us have a new source of water…May the Flower Immortal Goddess bless us…"
"Flower Immortal Empress?" Mei 'er didn't understand. Just as she was about to ask, Mei' er noticed a man with a sword not far away from the three of them looking at the stone tablet that people were worshipping. Mei 'er also looked at the stone tablet. The ancient characters on it roughly recorded:
" In ancient times, the essence of a young rabbit was produced by the Cang River. It was said that after refining it into a form and eating it, a couple could ascend to the immortal path. From then on, they would not be shackled by the fate of mortals and would not have to suffer the pain of a short life…Since the Nine Heavens Flower Fairy Goddess descended to the mortal world and brought her lover to live in seclusion from here, the people of Cang River were blessed. The people thanked the Goddess for her kindness, so they built this Flower Fairy Palace in the north of Gu Dian Mountain. From then on, the Goddess' incense in the human world continued for generations…"
"Young rabbit essence…Flower Immortal Goddess?……”Mei 'er thought for a while. It turned out that this Desolate Town used to be a treasure land. Mei' er had also heard about the rabbit essence. It was rumored that the rabbit essence was an ancient jade pendant in the shape of a rabbit. It was a token of love between Fuxi and Goddess Nvywa in the human world. The ancient jade pendant turned into dust after 300 years, and the jade rabbit shape grew out of the ashes after 300 years. It could be eaten after 300 years. It was said that if a true couple consumed the rabbit essence together, they could ascend to immortality and avoid the pain of reincarnation and lovesickness...
"To be free from the pain of reincarnation…Do I really have to become an immortal to do that?……”Mei 'er felt dejected. She thought about how the Flower Immortal Goddess definitely did not want the mortal she loved to grow old. That was why she lived with him on Gu Dian Mountain to search for the essence of a young rabbit, and then enjoyed their love without any time limit…
" Isn't that great…" Mei 'er muttered to herself…Geng Tian also noticed that the handsome man with a sword was walking towards them after asking about the refugees who had come to pay their respects. He first cupped his hands in greeting to Mei' er, and Mei 'er returned the greeting with a smile. The man looked at Mei' er's stunning appearance and could not help but be surprised.
"Hello, Miss. I remember seeing you once on Cloud Cliff Mountain…Eh?! I've seen these two brothers before!……; You?" The man with the sword pointed at Lu Zhenlei and cupped his hands."So it's this year's second place, Young Master Lu! Nice to meet you!"
"May I ask who this brother is…" Lu Zhenlei returned the greeting.
"Oh…I'm Wen Tao, a disciple of the Breeze Pavilion. I've witnessed your immortal techniques during the sword duel at the Cloud Cliff Mountain…You really live up to your reputation! It's a great fortune for me to meet you here! --”
"Hehe, Senior Brother Cheng Tao is too polite…" Mei 'er affectionately addressed Cheng Tao as "Senior Brother." Geng Tian thought for a moment and asked,
"May I ask why you came here?……”
" Oh…I'm ashamed to say this. Many years ago, a disciple escaped from our sect. It was my senior brother, Xuan Zong. Our sect used the sect's ultimate technique, the Shadow Incantation, to track down my senior brother's whereabouts, but it was still fruitless…"
"Oh?" Mei 'er covered her mouth." I've heard that your sect's Shadow Following Curse uses the souls of mortals as a catalyst to track the whereabouts of others. The person who is used as a medium will lose one or two of their souls and become an idiot…Your sect's Shadow Following Curse has always been accurate. It leaves no trace behind. How…"
" Yes…Master once suspected that some powerful magic had blocked the Shadow Following Curse. Perhaps Senior Brother was already dead…However, a few days ago, after the war between the demon and the devil, the soul that followed Senior Brother finally reacted. I guess Senior Brother and the witch hid in this Gu Dian Mountain with abundant spiritual power, preventing the dark spirits from approaching. Now that the war between the demon and the devil had destroyed the feng shui of the mountains, causing the spiritual power to leak out…That's why Senior Brother appeared…"
"…Ah? So…a few years ago…Ah! So that Flower Immortal Goddess and that mortal are…"
Wen Tao saw Mei 'er's shocked expression and smiled,""My guess is indeed so.”
"…But…" Mei 'er wanted to say that the Flower Immortal Goddess had never caused any harm here and was instead revered by the people…But Wen Tao looked at the sky and cupped his hands.
"It's getting late. Today, I saw that you were fated to chat a little more. Wentao must immediately go to Gu Dianshan to investigate. If he meets that demoness, he will not let her live.”After Wen Tao finished speaking, the Azure Light Sword flashed and flew away on the sword. Geng Tian couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the technique of the sword,""Whoosh! His cultivation was quite high! The speed of his sword was so fast…How could he not even make it into the top ten?”
" That's what I mean by hiding well…unlike some people who haven't even beaten me up…" Mei 'er cast a playful glance at Geng Tian."I'm giving in to you!”
"Tsk tsk tsk. Let's not talk about it anymore. Senior Brother Wen Tao went to Gu Dian Mountain, but I think that the Flower Immortal Goddess is a good demon…I can't let him ruin such a good marriage…What do you two men think?”
Mei 'er saw that the two of them didn't have any objections, so she clapped her hands and cheered. The three of them asked for Gu Dianshan's direction and flew away.
————————————————————————————————————————————
Gu Dianshan…
"What a beautiful place!" Mei 'er opened her arms and took a breath of fresh air. This mountain was filled with an ocean of flowers. The fresh and fragrant fragrance of the flowers made one feel refreshed. Wasn't this…a paradise…
" I didn't expect the demon to choose such a beautiful place…" Geng Tian muttered to himself, but Mei 'er patted his head.
"What's wrong with a goblin? Even demons love beauty!"
"Good, good, good! I can't beat you…"
"Pfft!" Zhen Lei couldn't help but laugh,"Geng Tian, didn't I say so?" Mei 'er has been bullying me all these years. Now that I have something new, you can enjoy it…"
Mei 'er was amused and pushed Geng Tian and Zhen Lei forward.""Do you see that beautiful light at the top of the mountain? I think that's where the Flower Immortal Goddess and that man called Xuan Zong live…Let's go quickly…In case Senior Brother Wen Tao arrives and starts another fight.”
……….
However, they were too late. The battle had already begun…
"Demoness!" "I'm here to take your life!"-- Die!" Wen Tao pointed the tip of his sword at a beautiful and delicate woman among the flowers. The sword qi was mixed with anger as it swung towards that woman!
"Junior Brother Wentao!" A man suddenly flew out from the flowers. The man's sword qi collided with Wen Tao's sword qi, creating sparks. The man called Xuan Zong looked extremely delicate and handsome. He was indeed a good match for the woman! "Yu 'er! You should leave!"
"No!" The flower goblin Yu 'er firmly held Xuan Zong's hand."I'm not leaving-I want to be with you even if I die!”
" Senior Martial Brother Xuan Zong…" Wen Tao seemed to be extremely uncomfortable."Senior Brother…what's so good about that demon?! Senior Brother…Master and all the Martial Uncles are waiting for you to come back and apologize…"
" Junior Brother, I knew this day would come. Yu 'er and I have loved each other for a long time, and we can't bear the loneliness of returning to the sect…If you still have me as your big brother, please let us go…"
"Senior Brother! It's all because of that witch!" Wen Tao roared in rage, and the sword Qi flew towards the woman behind Xuan Zong. Xuan Zong took a cold breath and stopped resisting, standing in front of Yu 'er to protect her.
"Don't-!!" Mei 'er, who had rushed over, threw out a white light to stop the sword qi. Xuan Zong opened his eyes and smiled at the three of them."Oh? There are quite a few guests today…"
"It's you guys?" Wen Tao was also slightly shocked. This place is extremely dangerous!"
" Brother Wentao..." Yu 'er pleaded behind Xuan Zong,""Big Brother Zong can't stand the restrictions of the sect. The two of us are truly in love…Moreover…Moreover, I've finished cultivating the rabbit essence today and can eat it…By then, Brother Zong and I will be able to love each other for a long time…"
"Demoness! I won't agree to it!" Although Wen Tao's words were vicious, his methods were already much softer. Mei 'er blocked the sword qi for Xuan Zong and Yu' er and said to Wen Tao gently,"Senior Brother Wentao…Heaven and Earth can prove that they truly love each other…Moreover, Yu 'er was honored as the Flower Immortal Goddess when she came to Gu Dian Mountain. It can be seen how kind Yu' er is…If you help them, Mei 'er will be extremely grateful to you…"
" Junior Brother…" Xuan Zong was dejected." Thank you for your advice, but Junior Brother has his own difficulties…The sect's request must be completed…How about this…You take me away, Yu 'er…Don't hurt me…"
Wen Tao trembled when he heard Xuan Zong's words and sighed,"" Forget it…Forget it…I knew that big brother wouldn't go back with me…I wanted to persuade big brother that if big brother insisted on not leaving, I wouldn't make things difficult for him anymore…But now that big brother and this flower demon Yu 'er have such a relationship…I'll make a mistake to the end…I'll destroy your soul and body and remove your Shadow Following Curse. From now on, uncle-master and master will never be able to find you…"
" Junior Brother?!" Xuan Zong couldn't help but be shocked and said sadly,"" Junior Brother's great kindness…"
"…Senior Brother, take care…But Wentao still wants to ask Senior Brother about something. Where is Junior Sister Ling-er, who escaped with Senior Brother back then? She holds a major secret of our sect…"
"I don't know about that, but Ling 'er's swordsmithing skills are the best in the world. It shouldn't be difficult to find her…"
"... If that's the case... Senior Brother, take care..." Wen Tao sighed, turned around, and left on his sword...
" What a kind Senior Brother Wen Tao…" Mei 'er looked at the light of Wen Tao's departure and was lost in thought. Xuan Zong laughed,"
"Junior Brother is such a person…I have to thank everyone for today.”
"Hehe, no need, no need ~ I'm already very comforted as long as you and Yu 'er can love each other for a long time…" Mei' er's eyes were filled with unspeakable sadness after she finished speaking.
" Today, you can eat the rabbit essence after you finish cultivating it. It's the time for me and Xuan Zong to become immortals…If you have time, you can enter the cave abode together and share this moment…"
"Alright, alright, I want to see Sister Yu 'er and Big Brother Xuan Zong ascend in broad daylight…"
————————————————————————————————————————————
Immortal Flower Cave…
"Whoosh! So beautiful!" Geng Tian, Lu Zhenlei, and Lin Mei 'er were in a daze as they looked at the cave abode. Yu' er smiled as they passed through countless flowers. A soft green light enveloped the entire cave abode. Geng Tian's eyes widened in surprise. A rabbit-like jade pendant was floating above a huge alchemy furnace in front of them…It was emitting a soft green light…
"This is…the essence of a young rabbit?"
" That's right! This young rabbit essence was originally a token of love between Fuxi and Goddess Nvywa. It took us a long time to find it in Gu Dian Mountain. Now, this young rabbit essence can be eaten. It's also the time for me and Xuanzong to ascend to immortality…"
"Congratulations ~~~~~ We have to watch the entire process.”
Yu 'er smiled slightly. Xuan Zong came over and held her hand. This pair of blissful lovers…
" I really envy you guys..." Mei 'er looked at them and cried unconsciously.
Yu 'er and Xuan Zong took the rabbit essence, revealing the rabbit that was emitting a soft green light…
"Mystic Sect…we…"
The two of them placed the rabbit essence in the air and held each other's hands. The rabbit essence sparkled between them, and Yu 'er and Xuan Zong floated up with it…The two's blissful eyes…
In an instant…
"Ka…Ka Ka…"
A slight cracking sound entered Mei 'er's ears. It was so deafening in this quiet place!
“……!!!! What happened?"
Kakaka…
The cracking sound continued to echo. Something shocking happened!!! The rabbit essence was actually broken!!!--
Pa pa---
The little rabbit broke into two halves!
"How…how did this happen?”Xuan Zong was shocked and looked at Yu 'er in panic. Tears rolled down her face," Brother Zong... How could this be..."
At this moment, a terrifying mocking laughter came from the cave dwelling.
" Hmphhahaha…How can it be so easy to become an immortal…Mortals are delusional…"
" Fuxi?!!!" Mei 'er covered her mouth and lost her voice!
"Brother Zong!"
The three of them realized that Yu 'er and Xuan Zong, who were floating in the cave, were trembling. Xuan Zong and Yu' er's figures gradually disappeared…!
"No!" Mei 'er cried out loud!
"Pa!" With an explosive sound, Xuanzong Yu 'er's body was destroyed along with the rabbit essence! -- It dissipated…
"No!" Mei 'er absent-mindedly caught the powder falling from the sky…and cried bitterly…
He couldn't become an immortal... His body was annihilated…
Geng Tian's tears slowly flowed down his face. He looked at Mei 'er and the scattered ashes and thought,"
Immortal cultivation…so scary…
