Chapter 98
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Two great immortalization stage immortals formed a Dao companion pact, and the anomaly they created instantly spread throughout the Three Realms.
Generally speaking, the more profound a cultivator’s cultivation level, the greater the anomaly that occurs after forming a Dao companion.
Therefore, any experienced cultivator who saw the brilliant smoke and clouds in the distant sky that evening should have understood what had happened.
Although everyone in the world of cultivation knows about the existence of Dao Companions, only a very small number of people actually choose to form a Dao Companion with someone.
After all, once a Dao Companion is formed, the life and death fortunes of the two individuals will be firmly bound together.
Cultivators live for too long and have seen too much betrayal and unexpected events. Apart from young cultivators who have just entered the world of cultivation, very few people would make such a choice.
Therefore, when people guessed who these two Dao Companion were, the world of cultivation became even more excited.
However, Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan, who were staying in Shenwu Mountain Valley, knew nothing about the outside world and had no interest in knowing.
…
After forming a Dao Companion, Li Fenglan learned that Ling Buyan had already prepared a small house – it was almost identical to the small courtyard where Li Fenglan used to live in Xihou City.
After forming a Dao Companion, Ling Buyan took that small house out of his mustard seed space.
In an instant, the once-empty mountain valley was filled with a quaint-looking house.
After all, thousands of years had passed, and at a glance, the buildings that were once popular now had a sense of antiquity.
Cultivators’ memories far exceed those of ordinary people, but when Li Fenglan left home as a normal teenager, even the place where he lived for more than ten years became blurred in his memory after so many years had passed.
However, Ling Buyan was different. When he went to Xihou City in the past, he was already “Xuanchu Immortal Ancestor.” His memory was naturally much better than that of ordinary people.
The courtyard that appeared in the valley at this time was almost identical to the Li family’s small courtyard back then. Li Fenglan’s originally fuzzy memory became clear in an instant when he saw this courtyard.
Perhaps no one in this world would understand Li Fenglan’s current feelings. After being away from his home for thousands of years, suddenly having it appearing before his eyes, his thoughts and memories returned to that year…
And this familiar small courtyard, paired with the snowflakes falling from the sky, made Li Fenglan feel as if he had been living here since birth, even though he had only been in the valley for a short time.
…
Because the anomaly caused by the Dao Companion Pact was too big, the cultivators probably sensed where the contract was formed, near the Underworld River.
But knowing where they were and daring to disturb Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan were two different things.
After forming the oath, Shenwu Mountain valley was quiet for a long time.
Only one person was different.
There was a barrier protecting the valley next to Shenwu Mountain, but in normal times, the barrier was invisible.
Unless touched by someone.
Before entering Tianmian Palace to cultivate, Li Fenglan was originally a son of the mortal world. If it weren’t for the tribulation of the Heavenly Dao, he would eventually become a famous talent in the mortal world.
When he was in Tianmian Palace before, Li Fenglan almost forgot about these things.
But now, staying in the valley and seeing this familiar small courtyard in front of him, Li Fenglan finally remembered his former hobbies. So these few days, Li Fenglan woke up early in the morning and drew on the desk in the courtyard.
At this time, Ling Buyan was also sitting quietly beside him, watching the scroll in Li Fenglan’s hand.
Cheng Huang was sleeping on a nearby plum branch, wagging his tail and looking very comfortable.
In his dream, it finally forgot the matter of finding fault with Ling Buyan.
The valley was peaceful.
Li Fenglan felt that he could even hear the faint sound of snowflakes falling to the ground.
However, at this moment, the barrier that enveloped the entire valley suddenly emitted a piercing blue light.
“Who?”
Seeing this, Li Fenglan immediately put down his pen and looked up at the sky.
Although he was already living in the valley of Shenwu Mountain, far away from the hustle and bustle of the cultivation world, the instinct of an immortalization stage immortal still existed.
In an instant, Finished Karma had already appeared in Li Fenglan’s hand.
“Fenglan,” at this moment, Ling Buyan suddenly spoke up and lightly pressed his hand, “the person outside the barrier is someone you know.”
“Someone I know?”
This barrier was arranged by Ling Buyan, so he could of course sense the identity of the person outside.
But Li Fenglan, for a moment, had not guessed who Ling Buyan was referring to.
But before Li Fenglan could think deeply about this question, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from above his head.
Then he saw a black figure heavily falling from not far away, and then slamming into the barrier with force.
That person should have flown here on a sword and didn’t know that there was a barrier here, so he just crashed into it directly.
How foolish…
Li Fenglan couldn’t help but silently think to himself.
“——Ah! What is this thing?”
But the next moment, when he heard the voice of that person, Li Fenglan retracted the thoughts he had just had in his mind.
If he hadn’t heard it wrong, this voice sounded familiar… it seemed a bit like the voice of his rebellious disciple?
Just as Li Fenglan was thinking about this, there was another sound coming from the direction of the barrier.
“Master, it’s me, Meng Linzhou!” the person outside shouted loudly.
Li Fenglan felt that his disciple seemed a bit foolish.
No, scratch that, he was definitely foolish.
As Li Fenglan recognized who the person who had suddenly come to Shenwu Mountain was, Ling Buyan had already opened the barrier.
So Meng Linzhou, who had just hit the barrier, fell in unprepared.
Fortunately, the snow in the Shenwu Mountain Valley was relatively thick, and Meng Linzhou was at least a cultivator who has crossed tribulations, so there was no problem with his fall.
But…seeing the black shadow lying on the ground, Li Fenglan silently closed his eyes.
He really didn’t expect his disciple to be so comical.
To be fair, Meng Linzhou’s appearance was that of a cold and stern sword cultivator. His talent and cultivation were also absolutely top-notch, so why did he always seem to be missing a few screws in his head?
Seeing Meng Linzhou in this state, Li Fenglan was surprisingly self-reproachful.
Was it because he didn’t teach him well enough?
“Master.” Meng Linzhou, as expected of an immortal who has crossed tribulations, although he fell a bit hard, he patted his clothes and stood up, looking like nothing had happened.
Li Fenglan saw that the Wumei flower hairpin on Meng Linzhou’s head had already tilted, and he looked a bit disheveled.
Startled by the sound, Cheng Huang rubbed his eyes and looked towards where Meng Linzhou was.
“What’s making that noise?” a soft childish voice rang in Meng Linzhou’s ears. “Oh? Are you Fenglan’s disciple?”
After speaking to himself, Cheng Huang slowly climbed down from the tree. And at the moment he jumped onto the snow, he couldn’t help but say, “So clumsy.”
Clumsy…
Even Cheng Huang thought Meng Linzhou was clumsy?
Seeing this, Li Fenglan stood up and couldn’t help but say to Meng Linzhou, “Your hairpin.”
“Hairpin?” Upon hearing his master’s words, Meng Linzhou was stunned for a moment.
Then, he raised his hand and lightly touched the thing on top of his head, and suddenly, as if remembering something, he looked around and said, “Master… why are there so many Wumei blossoms here?”
No matter what Meng Linzhou did, his expression was always quite stern, and his tone was often calm.
But even so, after saying this, Li Fenglan still heard a hint of disbelief in his disciple’s voice.
Perhaps it was because Meng Linzhou’s experiments always failed… Li Fenglan almost forgot that his disciple had been digging pits and planting trees in Snowy Meizhou all this time.
Meng Linzhou had done countless experiments, all of which ended in failure.
He even once thought – the Wumei blossom was too delicate and no longer suitable for growing in this world.
And now, seeing this dense forest of flowers, he almost doubted his life.
At this moment, Ling Buyan, who had been silent all along, stood up and answered Meng Linzhou’s question, saying, “They are naturally born here.”
Upon hearing Ling Buyan speak to him, Meng Linzhou finally turned his gaze to him.
The previously expressionless Meng Linzhou suddenly furrowed his brows bit by bit…
Li Fenglan had previously thought that perhaps Meng Linzhou, as a rebel, was the only person in the world who didn’t care about Ling Buyan’s true identity.
He only glanced at Ling Buyan and then slowly walked over to Li Fenglan’s side.
Meng Linzhou bowed to Li Fenglan and then said very seriously, “Master, to be honest, I came to Shenwu Mountain to find you this time because I have something to ask you.”
Although Li Fenglan felt that Meng Linzhou wouldn’t have anything important to say, he still nodded and asked, “What do you want to ask?”
Seeing Meng Linzhou’s very serious appearance, even Cheng Huang walked over and jumped onto the desk to look at him.
Then they heard Meng Linzhou say, “There are rumors spreading in the cultivation world recently. I came to find my master to confirm them…”
“What rumors?” Hearing this, Cheng Huang was quite interested and asked.
They saw Meng Linzhou pause for a moment and then suddenly looked up and said very seriously, “They say that you and…Ling Buyan have become a pair of Dao companions. I think that is absolutely impossible.”
Meng Linzhou had snuck away from Tianmian Palace this time and came to Shenwu Mountain personally to dispel the rumors that were circulating in the cultivation world.
As he spoke, Meng Linzhou’s expression was very serious, but he did not get an answer, only a long silence in return.
Li Fenglan: “…”
Ling Buyan: “…”
Cheng Huang: “Hahahaha.”
