Chapter 28 Part 2: Sword! (2)
Bai Lian hopes that once the jade rabbit realizes how enjoyable eating grass is, she might generously share some with her.
Don’t be fooled by the jade rabbit’s cute appearance, as her heart is just as small as her physique.
Then Bai Lian thought of Tong Yao again.
Is that guy who deserves a beating still thinking about how to flatter her?
When your father returns, he will beat you up!
And Yan Yue as well.
Based on past experience, Yan Yue should be tormenting the Blood Tree Patriarch with her music at this time, and the seven-stringed lyre she plays is certain to break a few times amid the clamor.
There was also the hungry and thirsty Demon Woman Si Yunshang.
She has been gone for quite some time now; Bai Lian wonders if she has found the Lingxu sect’s new location.
As Bai Lian surveyed her surroundings, she caught sight of more familiar faces.
Qing Luan, the eldest princess, Ling Yue, Xuezhan…
Everyone was calmly attending to their own tasks.
This day was no different from any other.
On this day, some people were joyful while others were sorrowful, some were born while others passed away.
Even though the Immeasurable Disaster has silently descended, life must continue as it should.
This world moves forward like a spring river flowing eastward.
So, just take it easy.
If you maintain a more optimistic outlook, you will experience no emotional fluctuations.
The necessary sorrow, the tears to be shed, and the grievances to be told were already written completely during the time at the Bronze Valley.
Now we are simply reconnecting the story.
Bai Lian raised her hand.
It was a hand as sleek as jade.
There were no ornaments on her hands, nor had she ever wrapped them in spirit Qi.
One hand alone cannot stop the Spear of the Candle Dragon.
After a cracking sound, Bai Lian was pinned to the ground, an invisible force gripping her neck, rendering her immobile.
“The sixth shot.”
The cold, lifeless voice echoed through heaven and earth.
Master Turtle lifted its paw, but its speed was too slow. At this pace, it would take a quarter of an hour for it to crawl to Bai Lian.
It’s too slow.
Bai Lian’s gaze remained calm and serene.
How to explain it?
It is as if, having experienced death many times before, dying once more is quite ordinary.
She heard the green shadow say, “Do you think I would kill you?”
Humph!
Bai Lian completely ignored the green shadow.
The green shadow continued, “What is the most precious thing you have now?”
Humph!
Bai Lian still didn’t reply.
“They are your memories!” the green shadow’s voice grew louder. “It’s those meaningless memories, those filthy memories! Only the blank slate of yourself is the true you!”
Amidst the roaring, the pressure on Bai Lian’s neck grew increasingly intense.
She realized that the green shadow was serious; that being really wanted to erase her memories.
Here it comes.
Countless threads attacked her from all directions, attempting to penetrate her soul.
Pain.
Anger.
Even hatred.
They came in waves.
Bai Lian had already accepted death, and she had even made every effort to calm her mind, preventing herself from being entangled in unfulfilled dreams.
But she never imagined that this green shadow’s actions would be so malicious!
From a drifting blank paper to a paper filled with drawings.
It took her several years to rediscover the feeling of home.
And the cornerstone of building all of this lies precisely in those seemingly insignificant memories.
If memories are stripped away, even if she remains alive, she is nothing but a soulless shell.
No.
This is absolutely unacceptable!
Bai Lian lifted both hands and, with sheer strength, grasped the intangible force.
The force was very strong, but the force in her hands was even stronger.
After a moment, she actually tore apart that burst of energy.
But immediately afterward, another force descended.
“Futile effort!” The green shadow sneered coldly.
One never knows unless one tries!
She actually had one more path to take.
As long as she could break through to the Transmigration Stage, she would be able to break the ice.
Her cultivation base had long been sufficient; as long as she could trigger the Gufeng Disaster, as long as she could smoothly pass through the Gufeng Disaster, as long as…
In summary.
As long as she can break through to the Transmigration Stage, she will definitely overcome this dire situation!
Bai Lian completely ignored the task published by the system.
[Task 1: Crossing the Guafeng Disaster and advancing to the Transmigration Stage in one fell swoop (Reward: Great Luo Sword Embryo).]
[Task 2: Postpone your cultivation (Reward: +1 Focus)]
She now couldn’t be bothered with any risks.
Anyway, she was going to “disappear.” Killing this green shadow before disappearing at least wouldn’t result in losses!
Bai Lian clenched her teeth.
Her expression was no longer composed.
She kept repeating that sentence over and over.
“Almost there, almost there, almost…”
The silk thread penetrated the sea of her divine sense, causing piercing pain like rushing tides, but she didn’t fear it.
Under the invisible pressure of energy, her limbs and bones constantly broke and reorganized, but she was not afraid.
She only knew that no matter what, she could not lose those memories.
She didn’t have much left.
If even memories are lost, then she cannot be called human anymore.
If she’s not even human, then what’s the point of staying by her master’s side?
Break it open.
Hurry up and break it!
Bai Lian screamed inwardly.
At a certain moment.
She tore apart the invisible energy once again and rushed out through the gap.
It’s done.
A smile of joy appeared on Bai Lian’s face as she caught sight of the wind, and what lay beyond it…
“Master?”
Bai Lian was stunned.
An Lan stood before her with a calm countenance.
Bai Lian extended her hand to grasp her master’s, only to find it slip away.
She stood there dumbfounded, listening to her master speak.
“You lied!”
“I didn’t!”
Bai Lian immediately denied it.
An Lan furrowed her brows and said, “Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t have any trouble?”
Bai Lian waved her hands nervously and said, “It was just an accident, something unexpected. It’s not considered lying.”
“Rebel, you dare to argue in front of me!”
An Lan raised her eyebrows coldly toward Bai Lian and poised her hand to strike.
Pa pa pa…
Bai Lian distinctly perceived the sensation.
It seemed as though something soft was indeed tapping her buttocks.
This was clearly just an illusion.
“Master…”
Bai Lian gently wiped her eyes.
Although it was just a comforting phrase, she had indeed promised her master that she would return safely.
So…
She let her hands fall to her sides and gave up on controlling the Guafeng Disaster.
But.
The road is not yet broken.
Bai Lian regained her composure.
She stood there, quietly watching the green shadow.
“It seems that you have realized the disparity.”
“No!”
“Oh?”
“To you, those memories may be dirty, but to me, they are the entirety of my rebirth. No matter the sadness, no matter the joy, no matter the regret, every memory holds its own value and I will not abandon them. Others have no right to erase them. Your idea of purification is something I will not accept!”
Bai Lian practically bellowed out the final few words.
The green shadow stood still.
After a long while, he suddenly burst into loud laughter.
“Whether you accept it or not is unimportant; what matters is whether I want to do it. You cannot stop me.”
Bai Lian’s face suddenly revealed a faint smile.
She draped herself in a cheongsam transformed from white flames and regained the imperial composure that granted her the ability to control the situation in the world of ice and snow.
“Yes, I can’t stop you, but…”
Bai Lian’s gaze penetrated the void and fixated upon the shattered abode of the Original Dragon’s nest.
There, the golden tender sprouts were thriving!
The green shadow’s face slightly changed.
Bai Lian said, “I know why you are so anxious.”
“You…”
The green shadow vibrated.
Bai Lian’s right palm was surging with white light.
“I also know that the path I walk on is not just mine. There are many people who walk with me. It is because of this that the road appears lively, and the memories become precious. And it is because of this that today, I am able to slay you here!”
She was laughing because she was not as lonely as the green shadow; she was never alone.
“Son of a bitch!”
The green shadow roared with anger as the Spear of Candle Dragon struck down again, but it was already too late.
Bai Lian remained unmoved.
Her divine sense flowed through an intangible path, connecting heaven and earth.
“The mistake you made was not intending to kill me!”
That icy voice sliced through the long night.
Excessive greed is a sin!
It’s time.
With the guidance of her Divine Sense, Bai Lian flew into mid-air.
Her eyes glanced about, piercing through the ages.
Ten years ago.
The delicate young girl was living a bleak existence in the Marquis’s household.
Ten Years From Now.
The oppression of blood and fire tempered the young girl into a sword.
Bai Lian raised her right hand high and shouted loudly, “Sword!”
In an instant.
Countless clusters of snowflakes, like goose feathers, slowly fell from the sky.
The shattered spacetime transformed into an endless sea of snow.
The water flowed and formed a wall, enclosing all four sides.
The stars and moon rose, shrouding the sky.
Subsequently, golden light shot out fiercely from the depths of the Original Dragon’s nest.
That was a sword.
That was a sharp and gleaming sword.
The sword’s name is: Yu Ying!
What pressure from the Heavenly Lord, what power to break the cycle of reincarnation, what immortal wandering spirits?
“Today, I will use you to test this sword!”
In an instant, sword-light rained down.
