Chapter 94

Until he saw the scene before him, Li Fenglan finally reacted.
Split Karma was slowly rotating under the heavenly tribulation. Seeing this, Li Fenglan subconsciously threw his sword upwards as well.
The heavenly tribulation in the sky was not as powerful as during ascension. Now, with two divine swords blocking it, a burst of golden light covered the thick heavenly tribulation clouds and the descending heavenly thunder, shielding them completely.
Looking up, nothing could be seen except for the golden light.
Generally, cultivators would use various treasures and their own spirit swords to block the heavenly thunder during tribulation. But what they had witnessed before was incomparable to what was happening now.
At this moment, the two divine swords had completely shielded the heavenly thunder, bringing the sky back to calm in an instant, which was extremely shocking to see.
In less than a moment, the final heavenly thunder fell, and Ning Qingmo’s cultivation level remained at the Golden Core stage.
For ordinary cultivators, the Golden Core stage was not a low cultivation level. But for Ning Qingmo, who was once an Immortal in the immortalization stage, falling to this level was no different from becoming a mortal.
At this moment, the two divine swords, Karma and Split Karma, also flew back into the hands of their owners.
Finished Karma emitted a dazzling light, and Li Fenglan walked slowly to Ning Qingmo’s side, his eyes particularly cold.
In fact, after experiencing the events of a thousand years ago, Li Fenglan had no interest in dealing with the people of the cultivation world anymore.
But at this moment, seeing the calmness on Ning Qingmo’s face and the fearful expressions of the other cultivators not far away, Li Fenglan finally clenched his Finished Karma. He smiled and said, “Although the past events of a thousand years ago were influenced by the will of heaven, greed, anger, and delusion are not fake.”
“Your loss of cultivation and downfall today is not because of me.” Li Fenglan finally looked into Ning Qingmo’s eyes and slowly spoke, “Ning Qingmo, the outcome today was already predetermined from the moment you started dealing with people with the intention of using them.”
Hearing Li Fenglan’s words, Ning Qingmo slowly lowered his head. He recalled his first encounter with Li Fuyue at the Moon Worship Festival. As Li Fenglan had said, he had harbored a heart of exploitation from the moment he met him. It was this heart that ultimately harmed Li Fuyue and himself.
Although Li Fenglan’s words were casual, they felt like a thunderbolt to Ning Qingmo. A bloodstain appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the pain in his chest was even greater than when he was struck by the Heavenly Thunder earlier.
Ning Qingmo knelt on the ground, still bowing his head and remaining silent. Li Fenglan also stopped talking, not even glancing at the group of cultivators behind him. He turned around and headed towards Ling Buyan.
In the next moment, Li Fenglan reached out and lightly tugged on Ling Buyan’s sleeve, “Master, let’s go.” Li Fenglan did not realize that he had so much trust and even dependence on Ling Buyan when he spoke to him.
Upon hearing this, Ling Buyan did not speak. He suddenly reached out and lightly stroked Li Fenglan’s long hair. At the same time, a faint green light enveloped the entire Miguang Mountain. Ning Qingmo, who was kneeling on the cliff, was also pushed out by the green light.
In an instant, everyone outside of Miguang Mountain could no longer see the scenery inside the mountain.
Today, they would not see Ling Buyan again.
The four seasons on Miguang Mountain were like spring, and after all external sights were blocked by the green light, the only sound in Li Fenglan’s ears was the chirping of birds.
At this moment, Ling Buyan suddenly turned around and said to him, “Fenglan, I wonder if you will want to go somewhere with me.”
“Hmm?” When Ling Buyan brought up this matter, Li Fenglan, who was still thinking about the past events of a thousand years ago, didn’t react at first. But when he turned around and saw Ling Buyan’s eyes, he instinctively nodded.
He didn’t know where Ling Buyan was taking him, but his intuition told him that it wouldn’t be a bad place.
At this time, Miguang Mountain was shrouded in green mist, and even without that mist, no one would dare to disturb it.
At this moment, the person who should have stayed in the Miguang Mountain in everyone’s mind, silently rode their sword and left here, heading towards somewhere in the human world.
Perhaps influenced by the memories of a thousand years ago, although Li Fenglan was already familiar with Miguang Mountain, he still felt uneasy when he thought that he was now in Tianmian Palace.
As the mountains of Tianmian Palace gradually receded, the bustling towns and villages of the human realm appeared under his feet, and Li Fenglan’s mood gradually became more open.
It wasn’t until this moment that he finally curiously asked Ling Buyan, “Master, where are we going this time?”
Ling Buyan didn’t hide his intention from Li Fenglan and directly answered the question.
“We’re going to Shenwu Mountain,” he said.
“Shenwu Mountain?” Li Fenglan thought carefully and realized that he had never heard of this name before.
“What’s there?” Li Fenglan asked.
But this time, Ling Buyan just smiled and didn’t answer his question.
And at this moment, seeing Ling Buyan not answering the question, the person not far away from him who was very dissatisfied with him and had been holding a grudge, Cheng Huang, suddenly sneered and said, “Humph, how boring. Fenglan, don’t pay attention to him.”
Every time Cheng Huang saw Ling Buyan now, he would think of the time when the other party tricked him out and then shrunk him down. And this childish voice was constantly reminding him of the fact that he was tricked by Ling Buyan back then.
Cheng Huang thought it was very ferocious now, but after hearing its words, the person in front of it actually laughed. This annoyed Cheng Huang, on the way to the “Shenwu Mountain” mentioned by Ling Buyan, Cheng Huang kept talking non-stop behind.
It was unclear how long had passed when the scenery in front of them changed again. The human cities that were frequent before began to disappear, and Li Fenglan…recognized this place.
“Master, is this the Underworld River?” Li Fenglan hesitated slightly and couldn’t help but bite his lip after asking this question.
The Underworld River, a place that Li Fenglan was both familiar and unfamiliar with. In his past life, in the end, Li Fenglan fell into madness and actually came to the bank of the Underworld River. His heart was full of killing intent, and his instinct drove Finished Karma in his hand towards the Underworld River.
It was well known that the Underworld River was the boundary line between the human and underworld realms. Once there was a breach in the river, the creatures in the underworld would uncontrollably head towards the human realm, and then affect the safety of the human realm.
At that time, although Li Fuyue was seriously mad, he still firmly remembered the significance of this river.
Therefore, just as that uncontrolled sword was falling, Li Fuyue suddenly focused his mind and gathered his energy, retracting most of the sword aura.
In that moment, he defeated the will of heaven, and even his own instincts.
The water in the Underworld River suddenly dispersed, but because of Li Fenglan’s final action, the water that had dispersed to both sides came back together in the next moment.
Li Fenglan remembered that he had also suffered a backlash from that final sword.
After the sword strike, he fell from the sky and landed heavily on the bank of the Underworld River. But in the short time of burning an incense stick, he had already been corroded by the cold air of the Underworld River and was freezing all over.
It was at this time that the cultivators who had been searching for Li Fenglan finally found him…
In short, the Underworld River was not a place of fond memories for Li Fenglan.
“Follow me.” Unexpectedly, Ling Buyan still didn’t directly answer Li Fenglan’s question. He suddenly gently held Li Fenglan’s hand, and the next moment, Li Fenglan stepped on Split Karma.
They stood on the same flying sword.
At this moment, Split Karma also slowly flew back into Li Fenglan’s hands, and lightly brushed against him.
It must have also remembered what had happened here before.
Split Karma did not cross the Underworld River, but went upstream along the river.
The Underworld River was actually quite unfamiliar to cultivators, and Li Fenglan had only been here once before. Therefore, as they went upstream against the current, the scenery in front of Li Fenglan gradually became unfamiliar to him.
Where exactly was Shenwu Mountain?
What is its relationship with the Underworld River?
Just as Li Fenglan was pondering this matter, he suddenly heard a loud sneeze from Cheng Huang not far behind him.
“Hiss…it’s so cold,” Cheng Huang said somewhat aggrievedly.
It wanted to snuggle into its owner’s arms.
If it was the Cheng Huang from a few months ago following Li Fenglan, it would definitely have let Li Fenglan hold it.
But Cheng Huang had already regained its memories, and as it thought about its identity as an “ancient ferocious beast,” it felt a little embarrassed.
However, as the owner, Li Fenglan understood its meaning after hearing its words. He smiled and turned around, pretending not to know what Cheng Huang intended, and picked it up.
At this moment, Cheng Huang, who had been pretending to be serious all along, finally couldn’t resist rubbing against Li Fenglan. After rubbing, to cover up its childish behavior, Cheng Huang suddenly said, “Hey, what’s that?”
“A mountain?”
Li Fenglan didn’t expect that the Underworld River actually flowed out of a mountain.
Previously, it seemed that no one in the Three Realms had ever thought about studying this matter. But when he reached the upper reaches of the Underworld River, this river that had always maintained its ink blue color and bone-chilling temperature in Li Fenglan’s impression suddenly became clear to the bottom.
If Li Fenglan had not been following the river upstream and had never taken his eyes off the river, he would probably not have recognized it.
At this moment, Ling Buyan finally spoke.
“The one ahead is Shenwu Mountain,” Split Karma slowly lowered it’s altitude, and Ling Buyan added, “The place we’re going is in the valley of Shenwu Mountain.”
Shenwu Mountain stretched for hundreds of miles, not just a solitary peak, but a whole mountain range.
After entering the range of Shenwu Mountain, the Underworld River completely became a mountain stream, and the scenery in the mountain forest gradually approached winter.
Although he hadn’t seen anything, when Li Fenglan saw the familiar winter scenery, he felt a sense of familiarity in his heart. After all, Snowy Meizhou where he used to live had this kind of scenery all year round.
Wait a minute, Snowy Meizhou?
Seeing the scenery below, Li Fenglan seemed to have found the answer in his heart. Sure enough, Split Karma flew over a dangerous peak of the Shenwu Mountain, and the next moment Li Fenglan saw a little red trace in a lonely snowy field.
A breeze blew from nearby, and Li Fenglan smelled a familiar fragrance on his nose.
“This is…Wumei,” Li Fenglan’s tone was without any doubt. As someone who had lived in Snowy Meizhou for thousands of years, he certainly recognized what was in front of him.
Upon hearing this, Ling Buyan nodded lightly, and Split Karma also landed.
Seeing the familiar dark red in front of him, Li Fenglan couldn’t help but think of Wumei, which grew in the ancient underworld and had long since disappeared.
Back then, a cultivator accidentally found a Wumei seed in a secret realm and gave it to Qiu Wanyou, who then planted it in Snowy Meizhou with his own hands.
However, it turned out that it was not just in the secret realm…there was also a forest of these flowers at the upper reaches of the underworld river.
It was unclear when Ling Buyan discovered it, but today he gave it to Li Fenglan.
