Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion Chapter 343 – Earthly Immortal reincarnation?

ng Fan frowned and asked, "Xuerou, you have no connection with the Hundred Flowers Sect. Why did you co here after leaving the Shu Mountain Sword Sect?"

He had been worried about this for a long ti and couldn't help but ask.

Li Xuerou glanced at the mbers of the Hundred Flowers Sect and then said to the Clan Master, "Clan Master, could you let us talk privately for a mont? Could you all step back for a bit?"

As soon as she said this, both ng Fan and Yang Ling felt a jolt in their hearts.

Although her words were polite, they carried a hint of commanding others, which could be seen as disrespectful.

One could imagine that the Clan Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect would be furious at being told to "step back."

But contrary to their expectations, the Clan Master did not get angry. Instead, she cooperated fully and had everyone retreat back into the sect's mountain gate.

The entire area was left to ng Fan, Li Xuerou, and Yang Ling.

ng Fan and Yang Ling exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

This was bizarre and inexplicable.

How could Li Xuerou have such influence within the Hundred Flowers Sect?

"What exactly is going on?" Yang Ling asked Li Xuerou.

Even ng Fan was puzzled. He knew Li Xuerou better than anyone.

They had grown up together in the sa village, wandered together, and joined the Shu Mountain Sword Sect together. He was certain that Li Xuerou had no prior contact with the Hundred Flowers Sect.

At least, not before this trip down the mountain.

It was impossible for her to establish such a significant connection with the Hundred Flowers Sect in just a few days.

"Master, Brother ng Fan, I know you must be very confused right now, but you two are the closest people to in this world. So, there are so things I don't want to hide from you. However, it's a long story..." Li Xuerou said seriously.

"Alright, take your ti," Yang Ling said, pulling out three chairs from her storage ring and sitting down first.

ng Fan, not being one to stand on ceremony, sat down on another chair.

Li Xuerou gave a bitter smile. She knew her master well and wasn't surprised by her actions.

She also sat down on the third chair, and the three of them ford a small circle, just missing so snacks and fruits.

Inside the mountain gate of the Hundred Flowers Sect, the mbers watched as Yang Ling pulled out three chairs and the three of them sat down one by one. They were all a bit taken aback.

This was quite disrespectful, treating soone else's doorstep like their own living room.

ng Fan and Yang Ling stared at Li Xuerou intently, almost like a death stare.

Although Li Xuerou was familiar with ng Fan and Yang Ling, she still felt a bit awkward under their intense gaze.

"Please start your explanation," ng Fan said with a smile.

Though his tone was sowhat playful, he was genuinely curious about what was going on, as he had been quite worried before.

Yang Ling remained silent, focusing her attention, ready to hear what astonishing revelation her disciple had.

"Master, Brother ng Fan, have you ever heard of the Peony Ancestor?" Li Xuerou began with a question.

"The Peony Ancestor? What a tacky title. Never heard of it," ng Fan shook his head.

When he ntioned the tacky title, he didn't notice the increased awkwardness on Li Xuerou's already embarrassed face.

Yang Ling, however, raised an eyebrow and said, "I think I've heard of that na. The Peony Ancestor was an ancestor of the Hundred Flowers Sect over a thousand years ago.

Peony, the king of flowers!

And this Peony Ancestor indeed deserved that title.

Back then, she was a peerless expert in the Northern Region, reaching the Tribulation Crossing Realm and facing the heavenly tribulation.

Unfortunately, the heavenly tribulation is the most dangerous calamity in this world.

Only a handful of people in this world have the qualification and ability to face the heavenly tribulation.

And even fewer can successfully overco it.

A thousand years ago, the Peony Ancestor failed to overco the heavenly tribulation and perished under it, failing to ascend."

After finishing, Yang Ling looked curiously at Li Xuerou and asked, "Why did you suddenly ntion the Peony Ancestor? Are you her descendant, possessing her bloodline, and discovered by the Hundred Flowers Sect? So they want to take you in as a disciple?"

This was the only explanation she could think of, but upon closer consideration, it didn't make sense.

Even if she were the Peony Ancestor's descendant with an extraordinary bloodline talent, it wouldn't warrant such treatnt from the Hundred Flowers Sect.

ng Fan was also surprised, thinking along the sa lines as Yang Ling.

Li Xuerou ca from the sa small village as him; it was unlikely her ancestors had such an astonishing background.

Even though the Peony Ancestor had perished, her descendants, under the care of the Hundred Flowers Sect, wouldn't have fallen to such a state!

Wait, based on ng Fan's understanding, the girls in the Hundred Flowers Sect were all single, not even allowed to date. How could they have descendants?

Illegitimate children?

Unacknowledged illegitimate children.

That could be possible. If they were unacknowledged illegitimate children, it might explain why they ended up as village folk a thousand years later.

But if that were the case, the Hundred Flowers Sect wouldn't have been able to trace it!

While ng Fan and Yang Ling were puzzled, Li Xuerou continued, "Master, Brother ng Fan, in a certain sense, I can barely be considered a descendant of the Peony Ancestor, possessing her bloodline.

However, to be precise, 'descendant' isn't the right term.

Because I am the reincarnation of the Peony Ancestor!"

The reincarnation of the Peony Ancestor?

This...

Hearing this, both ng Fan and Yang Ling were stunned.

Yang Ling even reached out to touch Li Xuerou's forehead.

This girl had a decent cultivation level; she shouldn't be feverish and talking nonsense like a mortal...

Earthly Immortal reincarnation, there were indeed such legends in the world.

Any cultivator who successfully crossed the tribulation would have celestial energy and, before ascending to the Immortal Realm, would remain in the mortal world, known as an Earthly Immortal.

【Earthly Immortal】

Such beings, if they encountered an accident, had the ability to reincarnate and cultivate anew.

But legends were just that—legends. Even soone as knowledgeable as Yang Ling had never truly encountered an Earthly Immortal reincarnation.

So Yang Ling thought Li Xuerou was confused and talking nonsense!

But ng Fan frowned. The Hundred Flowers Sect's special treatnt of Li Xuerou made him think her explanation was the only one that made sense.

Compared to Yang Ling, ng Fan was more open to the idea of Earthly Immortal reincarnation.

Because while Yang Ling had never encountered an Earthly Immortal reincarnation, he had encountered the daughter of one.

In fact, if one were to be precise, he had also encountered a true Earthly Immortal reincarnation, albeit in the Sword Wraith mory.

Ye Qinxin, who had once challenged ng Fan, was the daughter of an Earthly Immortal reincarnation.

Ye Na, one of Sect Master Lin Jinghong's old flas from his younger days, was a genuine Earthly Immortal reincarnation!

Having "encountered" an Earthly Immortal reincarnation before, ng Fan didn't find Li Xuerou's words as absurd as Yang Ling did.
