Chapter 847: Chapter 85: Revisiting Old Dreams
Yuling Island, located to the north of Penglai Island, falls within the cold climate invasion zone, and often hosts birds from the northern polar regions as they overwinter here.
Upon arriving at Yuling Island, Luo Yan circled overhead only to see that the island was covered with grasslands and frozen tundra moss, devoid of any trees for cover; most places were completely exposed.
The only noteworthy aspect was the Snow Peak at the center of the island.
Shi Liuli had ntioned before that this peak was called “Saint Peak.” She had once been brought here by Elder Shi Ding when she was at the Foundation Establishnt Realm, and bathed in what was called the moral radiance, which enhanced her cultivation level to the Refining Mansion stage.
Luo Yan stayed at the top of the peak for a while, and didn’t encounter any form of radiance.
He then activated the scanning mode and ticulously scanned around the mountain yet still found no clues.
“This isn’t right,” Luo Yan discussed with the Kunlun Mirror, “Since Liuli said she was coming to Yuling Island, she definitely wouldn’t have gone elsewhere.”
“In other words, she must be caught up sowhere here and unable to leave.”
“Is there a possibility?” Suming Sword interjected, “That she was ambushed by a Six Paths Demon Head on her way here?”
“Not likely,” Luo Yan replied.
“Why not?”
“Because she knows Art Calculation…”
Suming Sword fell silent for a mont, realizing he was being foolish.
“Indeed, with her capability in Art Calculation, she wouldn’t forget to calculate the auspiciousness and danger of the journey before setting out,” Kunlun Mirror, as an expert in this area, reassured Luo Yan, “This is the simplest matter.”
“Guan Shui, I think she has suddenly been swept into a secret realm here, which is why she lost contact.”
“Mm,” Luo Yan thought, Ah Jing really is clever, deserving of one who could transform.
Although Suming is one of the Fuxi Dual Swords and excels in martial force, its brain is indeed not so sharp.
Seeing Suming Sword fall silent again, he spoke up to console him:
“It’s okay, Suming, thinking of these things is impressive enough.”
Suming Sword felt annoyed inwardly, thinking are you comforting or deliberately irritating ?
“However, since it’s an accidental encounter with a secret realm, there must still be so trace,” Luo Yan continued to ponder, “It can’t just be walking along and suddenly falling into a secret realm; that would be too absurd.”
“Exactly,” agreed Kunlun Mirror, “If there were to be a trace, it would most likely be this Saint Peak on the island.”
“Apart from Saint Peak, the rest are all grassy lowlands, clearly with no differences,” Luo Yan agreed.
“But we have scanned around Saint Peak thoroughly, and found nothing amiss,” Kunlun Mirror began to ponder.
“Maybe it’s not the right ti,” Luo Yan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, “A Saint Peak with moral radiance and one without it are obviously not the sa.”
“I rember now,” Kunlun Mirror suddenly realized, “Back then, Shi Liuli encountered the Saint Peak bathed in moral radiance because she was brought here by her father.”
“Perhaps even then she had noticed the existence of the entrance to the secret realm, but due to her low cultivation level, she didn’t explore it!”
“Given that, I can only wait for the moral radiance to appear again,” Luo Yan sighed, “If it opens on a certain cycle, it would be fine, but what if it requires so kind of trigger condition?”
“How about going around and asking nearby?” Kunlun Mirror suggested.
“Sounds good.”
Luo Yan circled around the nearby seas and finally encountered so fishern who were out fishing.
According to the fishern, indeed, rainbow-colored lights would appear above Yuling Island, but they only showed up at night. Moreover, there were certain days each month when they appeared and certain days when they didn’t, with no identifiable pattern whatsoever.
After figuring this out, Luo Yan returned to Yuling Island and began ditative concentration on the peak of the Saint Mountain.
As he entered the ditation, his mind began to wander vaguely.
Liuli, nothing should happen to her, right?
He recalled the ti when he first joined the Heavenly Craft Workshop, where the atmosphere truly felt like that of a big family.
Elder Shi Ding was like a kind father to all the disciples, especially doting on Miss Shi; and Shi Liuli was like a carefree child who never grew up, always dragging Luo Yan around to find fun and gas.
Who could have predicted that one day, Elder Shi Ding would pass away suddenly, and that Miss Shi could never return?
Well… if I thought about it, if I as a husband could be more ambitious, capable of shouldering the responsibilities of Heavenly Craft Workshop like Elder Shi Ding, perhaps Liuli wouldn’t have had to mature so quickly.
Luo Yan slightly criticized himself in his heart and then sighed inwardly.
It wasn’t just because he was too lazy, but mainly because there was no Nascent Soul Cultivator to defend the workshop, which made Liuli’s sense of security disappear too quickly.
Once I achieve my Nascent Soul, and the situation in the workshop stabilizes, Liuli should be able to breathe a sigh of relief…
As he was thinking this, suddenly, the rainbow-colored lights descended from the sky, like a goddess’ ribbon, brilliantly dazzling and shimring vibrantly.
Luo Yan, having a clear view, noticed that within those rainbow lights there was indeed a flicker of spatial fluctuation. He quickly took out the Tai Yin Suming Sword, rging man and sword as one, and charged towards the lights.
Entering the lights felt like imrsing in warm, steaming water, his whole body as if bathed in warm soup, extrely comfortable.
For Foundation Establishnt Realm Cultivators, this moral light could solidify their Daoist foundation and reduce the cultivation hardship, but now Luo Yan, already at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm, gained almost no benefits other than replenishing so True Yuan.
He swiftly scanned his surroundings and noticed that a spatial rift was moving along with the fluctuating waves of the rainbow lights, changing its position swiftly without stopping.
Without a second thought, Luo Yan charged his sword directly towards the spatial rift.
After chasing for about half a quarter of an hour, he finally caught up with the rift and entered it.
As the world spun around, Luo Yan found himself back in Penglai Jade Pure Hall; he was in so lecture room surrounded by cultivators deeply imrsed in their studies.
Huh? A lecture room?!
It is well-known that Penglai Jade Pure Hall divides its disciples into the External and Inner Sect. The External Sect disciples do not have a fixed ntor and need to attend elders’ lectures every day.
Back when Luo Yan first joined Yuqing Hall, he had also been an External Sect disciple for a while. After being taken in by Elder Shi Ding, he never attended the lecture room again. But unexpectedly, he revisited those old days suddenly, evoking a wave of nostalgic affection in his heart.
“Ah Jing, is this an illusion or a ti jump?” he quickly asked the Kunlun Mirror.
“Neither,” the Kunlun Mirror replied after a pause, “This place… seems to be so sort of ntal state.”
“ntal state?” Luo Yan was bewildered.
“A ntal state, or perhaps a mory,” the Kunlun Mirror replied uncertainly, “If I’m not wrong, you are within soone’s mory.”
In soone’s mory? Luo Yan was montarily stunned.
The next second, he saw Miss Shi appearing at the back door of the classroom, waving at him.
“Luo Yan, why are you still here?” she called out impatiently, “Hurry up, father is looking for you!”
