Chapter 70
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Ling Buyan looked at Li Fenglan silently without speaking.
Being stared at so calmly by the other party, Li Fenglan’s mood became extremely chaotic instead. Not long ago, he seemed to have had a face-to-face conversation with Ling Buyan, and at that time, Li Fenglan didn’t hesitate. He directly said what he thought.
But this time, Li Fenglan hesitated. Because he knew that the guess he was about to say was so absurd or…unthinkable.
Li Fenglan silently took a half step back, and then took a deep breath, calming himself down slowly.
As he recalled, he said, “Although I ended up in a sorry state in my previous life, my cultivation and talent were not fake. Master was the first person I met in both my previous and current life whose cultivation surpasses mine…”
When Li Fenglan spoke to this point, the long sword hanging by his side seemed to be even more excited. Li Fenglan believed that if it could speak, it would have already started shouting by now. The feeling of this sword was completely different from its owner.
Upon hearing Li Fenglan’s words, Ling Buyan just nodded and did not answer. The smile on his lips slowly faded. After knowing each other for so long, Li Fenglan rarely felt that his master was so distant from him.
The Qi within the sword formation was still dancing around, and Li Fenglan’s long hair was flying up, like a huge black butterfly, or a thick ink that couldn’t be dispersed.
“I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but you seem to know too much about the Guanzhi Mountain Secret Realm. Even if you’ve been here before, you shouldn’t be so familiar with it, let alone directly modify… the Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor’s formation,” Li Fenglan said, lifting his head and staring at Ling Buyan’s eyes.
However, Ling Buyan, who had been very calm just now, finally became somewhat unnatural when Li Fenglan looked at him. The black long sword also retreated silently, as if it understood its owner’s emotions.
In fact, Li Fenglan could feel that Ling Buyan had never deliberately hidden his identity. Perhaps he dared to do so because he didn’t care whether his identity was exposed or not, and he thought that no one could guess the answer.
After all, the person Li Fenglan was talking about had already ascended to the upper realm many years ago… a figure that would never appear in the lower realm.
After saying that sentence, Li Fenglan did not continue to guess Ling Buyan’s identity. Instead, he slowly turned his gaze back to the sword that was just hanging in the air.
He paused for a moment, reached out and lightly touched the sword’s body with his finger. Li Fenglan’s fingertips only felt a slight coolness. He was very familiar with this feeling.
The black and mysterious long sword in front of him was Ling Buyan’s life spirit sword. Generally speaking, a cultivator’s life spirit sword could not be moved. But Li Fenglan not only touched it, but also the sword did not show any signs of rejection. It even generously moved forward and lightly rubbed against Li Fenglan’s palm.
At this moment, Li Fenglan did not directly express his suspicion about Ling Buyan’s identity, but instead called out three words to the black long sword.
“… Split Karma?”
Before speaking, Li Fenglan subconsciously took a breath, and finally gathered the courage to say these words.
His voice was trembling slightly.
Yes, Split Karma.
If the various signs before only made Li Fenglan slightly suspicious, then the appearance of this sword finally confirmed his speculation.
If this sword were to turn white and have a more complex and gorgeous shape, wouldn’t it be exactly the same as his “Finished Karma”?
Li Fenglan wouldn’t be wrong.
There are only two swords like this in the world.
Finished Karma and Split Karma.
-The only natural jade left over from the creation of the ancient world, divided into yin and yang poles, and those two poles of jade were collected by the owner of Split Karma, and then forged into these two spiritual swords.
The white jade sword is Finished Karma, and the ink jade sword is Split Karma.
As the owner of Finished Karma, Li Fenglan believed that he would never be wrong about the sword…the long sword in front of him is Split Karma!
The qi within the sword formation had not yet dissipated, the strong wind was still howling, and some gravel was lifted up by the wind. With the obstruction of the wind and sand, Ling Buyan’s appearance even became blurred in this instant.
Li Fenglan inexplicably felt that his master was a bit uneasy.
Before the owner of the long sword could speak, Split Karma hung in the air on its own, then excitedly hummed. Seeing the appearance of this long sword, Li Fenglan took a deep breath and said again, “Not long ago, Master went to the demon realm to get ‘Xuyou Jade’, probably for Split Karma, right?”
Before the arrival of the Split Karma, it should have been somewhat damaged, and if this long sword made of natural jade was repaired, only Xuyou Jade can be used.
Former demon lord Duan Jisu, although Li Fenglan had never dealt with him, he knew from his understanding of the general habits and behavior style of the demon clan that Duan Jisu was definitely an extremely proud and arrogant demon cultivator. And the cultivator who could make him fear and even respect, there was only one in this world…
“Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor.” Li Fenglan gritted his teeth and spoke these words.
Through the wind and sand, Ling Buyan did not see it, but Li Fenglan involuntarily tightened the hand hanging at his side when he spoke. On the surface, Li Fenglan appeared very calm, but in reality, his heart was full of “oh my god”.
To others, Ling Buyan’s identity might have always been mysterious, but he had never deliberately concealed anything in front of Li Fenglan. In theory, Li Fenglan should have recognized Ling Buyan a long time ago. But it was only now that he finally uttered these words.
Ling Buyan was Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor!
My master is Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor?!
Even though in the previous life, people always said that Li Fenglan’s talent was as good as Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor’s, and some even said that if he practiced well, he would definitely become the second Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor in the future.
But in Li Fenglan’s heart, “Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor” was still as distant as a mythological figure. But now! He not only appeared in front of him, but also spent so much time with him.
Even Li Fenglan felt extremely magical.
After hearing Li Fenglan’s words, Ling Buyan finally took a step forward and took Split Karma back into his hand.
After hesitating for a while, Ling Buyan finally said the word, “Yes…”
Ling Buyan, who was usually calm no matter what happened, was showing a rare nervousness at this moment. His heartbeat was very fast, and even his gaze towards Li Fenglan had a somewhat cautious feeling.
Li Fenglan: !!!
…Ling Buyan admitted it?
Even though he had already guessed who the other party was just now, and even said the name in front of him, however, when he saw Ling Buyan admit it, Li Fenglan still felt that the whole world had become magical.
Ling Buyan was really Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor.
After all, he had been hiding his identity in front of Li Fenglan all along, and after admitting it, Ling Buyan also had some anxiety in his heart. He was worried that Li Fenglan would mind his concealment.
However, what Ling Buyan did not expect was that after hearing him admit it, Li Fenglan’s brain seemed to have crashed. Li Fenglan just stood there, widened his eyes, and only after a long time did he say, “You, you…really are?”
Ling Buyan: ?
Wasn’t that what you asked?
Actually, logically speaking, Li Fenglan should not mind Ling Buyan keeping his identity hidden from him all the time. After all, Li Fenglan himself had never told anyone that he was “Li Fuyue” after he was reborn.
But in any case, he should have expressed his surprise first.
However, now Li Fenglan completely forgot to think about those things.
Li Fenglan’s mind had never been as chaotic as it was now – if Ling Buyan was Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor, then why didn’t the novel “Tianmian Daosheng” mention such a big event when he descended to the mortal world?
No, something’s not right!
Li Fenglan suddenly remembered a sentence that Ling Buyan had said to him before: “I’ve never been to the Upper Realm. The place I went to from beginning to end was the Endless Purgatory.”
Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor had never been to the Upper Realm?
Although Li Fenglan had realized before that the story presented in the novel “Tianmian Daosheng” was only a small part of this world, he did not think that the fact that Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor had always been in the Lower Realm was intentionally ignored by the author. Even more… giving Ling Buyan an ending where he perished along with his junior brother.
This was really inexplicable.
Although Li Fenglan had only read “Tianmian Daosheng” in that strange world, he had read many other novels in the Lower Realm before coming to Tianmian Palace, and he did not think that Ling Buyan’s ending was written by the author…
According to what readers of “Tianmian Daosheng” had said in the comments section, Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor was “the most powerful cultivator in this world,” and no matter what, the author should not have given him such a shabby ending.
“So you never ascended to the Upper Realm from beginning to end…” Just when Ling Buyan was worried because of Li Fenglan’s silence, he suddenly heard this question.
Ling Buyan did not expect that Li Fenglan would suddenly ask him this.
“Yes.” He honestly replied once again.
Li Fenglan’s face became a bit ugly. He had been thinking while looking at the ground just now, but suddenly looked up at Ling Buyan.
This time, Li Fenglan suddenly took a few steps forward and stood in front of his Master.
Clearly, just a moment ago, Li Fenglan’s mind was in chaos like a pot of porridge, but now, when he looked up at Ling Buyan, he only had one sentence left in his mind…
Ling Buyan saw that the hand that Li Fenglan had been hanging by his side slowly lifted up and lightly stroked his chest.
Those pale, slender fingers were trembling slightly.
Li Fenglan’s hand slowly clenched the cold fabric on his chest, and then he looked up at Ling Buyan and asked, “So, Master, this Immortal Bone in my body is also yours…”
Perhaps it was an illusion, but at the moment of speaking, Li Fenglan suddenly felt a slight tingling in the immortal bone that did not belong to him.
Yes, besides Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor, who else in this world could establish a Tanyi Pagoda and revive themselves by gathering their soul and spirit?
