Chapter 6 Part 2: Recasting the Glory of Bai Lian! (2)
Very good.
This time you all truly did too much!!!
However, Bai Sect was not established by Fang Yan; rather, he was merely an ambitious young man with good intentions.
If everyone were like Fang Yan, she and her master would have long since abandoned their worries and lived peacefully.
After taking a deep breath, Bai Lian swiftly changed the subject, “I came here today to inquire about what has transpired in the Taicang Basin recently…”
She recounted her observations from over ten days ago.
Fang Yan’s smiling face immediately grew solemn, and he sighed, “So it turns out that the rain was bestowed by Your Highness the Saint.”
The rain is good.
That rain healed all the scars in the Taicang Basin.
But the good times didn’t last long; three days later, drought struck again.
Moreover, the current situation is far more severe than before; in just half a day, the water in the river vanished completely and the trees became withered and brittle, as if they were made of foam.
“I believe the source of the disaster may lie deep within the Yuanqing Mountain.”
Fang Yan recalled his experience of escaping from Yuanqing Mountain.
That day.
It was also evening.
He hurried towards the nearby metropolis with several cultivators.
When passing through a valley, they saw a grayish-brown smoke.
“It seemed that someone was sitting in the smoke. I only saw their silhouette from afar and felt my blood run cold. I dared not investigate further and fled together with the others.”
“An evil cultivator?”
Bai Lian’s expression darkened.
The magic array she destroyed was not in Yuanqing Mountain. Could it be that she had made a mistake in her calculations?
As she pondered, new options suddenly appeared before her eyes.
[Task 1: I have an irreconcilable enmity with the evil cultivator and will immediately proceed to investigate the truth. (Reward: Dream-Creating Immortal Talisman)]
[Task 2: What does someone else’s life and death have to do with me? I’ll do nothing. (Reward: +3 in Chess Skill)]
[Task 3: Deceive Fang Yan first, then run away halfway (Reward: Light Skill+1)]
Bai Lian quickly examined the task options.
Task 1 could be considered rather perilous.
The Dream-Creating Immortal Talisman is a genuine talisman.
It can shape a dream that is comparable to reality, and under the influence of rules, it can even to some extent transform the dream into reality.
As a disposable item, its value is far inferior to that of immortal artifacts, but it is far more valuable than ordinary top-tier Spirit Tools.
One should know that only strong cultivators at the Transmigration Stage can fully unleash the power of top-tier Spirit Tools.
Recently, Bai Lian’s cultivation base has been advancing quite rapidly, but without the assistance of the Immortal Spirit Stone, it would still be impossible for her to engage in battle against a Transmigration Stage cultivator.
This means that Task 1 is significant enough to pose a threat to her life.
Skip it for now.
Bai Lian’s gaze fell upon Task 2.
This task carries no risk at all; rewarding 3 points in chess skills is indeed reasonable.
However, she has no interest in playing chess, and at most she only plays games such as Gomoku, Chinese Checkers, and Aeroplane Chess regularly, so high chess skill would be of no use.
Ignore it.
As for Task 3…
It is clear that this task carries no risk whatsoever.
It would neither threaten her life nor damage her reputation.
This aligns with Bai Lian’s consistent approach to choosing tasks.
She hesitated this time.
She saw the light in Fang Yan’s eyes, as well as the darkness in the refugees’ eyes, which reminded her of the efforts she had made a few days ago.
Is it acceptable to leave like this?
She was asking herself.
Because she was the one making the decision.
Bai Lian soon reached her conclusion: Having come this far, could she really turn back now?
She is not someone who gives up halfway.
While Task 1 involves danger, it is not an imminent mortal peril.
Just as before, as long as she’s somewhat careful, she won’t encounter any accidents.
However, before taking action, Bai Lian had other matters to attend to.
For instance, removing the jade rabbit from herself.
She squatted before the jade rabbit, “Do not wander around here, I will return shortly…”
The jade rabbit interrupted her directly.
She jumped up and grabbed Bai Lian’s hand.
She remained silent, merely shaking her head.
Bai Lian understood her meaning, but this time it simply wouldn’t do, for it was far too dangerous.
She couldn’t even ensure her own protection, let alone the jade rabbit’s?
Of course, she wouldn’t say this aloud, or else the jade rabbit would become even more worried.
“I don’t want to abandon you. Stay here and keep watch over them for me, so they don’t encounter any danger.”
Bai Lian found the reason to be exceptionally valid, virtually flawless.
However, she clearly underestimated the jade rabbit.
If you care for someone, you will carefully observe each of their habits.
The jade rabbit doesn’t dare claim “No one knows Bai Lian better than me,” but she dares say that she understands Bai Lian better than Bai Lian herself!
Bai Lian may not have realized it yet, but she had revealed a significant vulnerability.
If there were no danger on this journey, she would not have made such a solemn explanation.
Therefore, the depths of Yuanqing Mountain must inevitably be filled with danger.
“Haw haw (don’t go)”
The ears of the jade rabbit swayed back and forth.
Bai Lian extended her hand to stroke the jade rabbit’s head.
Rest assured, there’s nothing to fear because I am Bai Lian!
She stood up and raised her right hand.
Water rippled out rapidly from her fingertips at its center.
In an instant, a huge curtain of water rose up in the wilderness, enveloping the jade rabbit, Fang Yan, and the refugees within it.
Amidst the water curtain, the dry earth seemed to have received nourishment, with cracks healing instantly and pools of water appearing on the ground.
“Ah, it’s water!”
A refugee cried out loudly.
Bai Lian smiled.
While the water curtain remains, these people inside will be safe.
“Wait for me to return.”
She waved at the jade rabbit, then turned away like a heartless person.
“Haw!”
The jade rabbit promptly pounced upon her.
However, how could she, who only possessed the cultivation base of the Nascent Soul Stage, break through the protective magic array left by Bai Lian?
Bang.
The jade rabbit collided with the water curtain, causing ripples that gradually obscured her vision.
She saw Bai Lian take a step forward, and in the blink of an eye, her three thousand strands of hair became like flying snow.
Suddenly, the sky truly began to snow.
Click——
Therefore.
With each step Bai Lian took forward, a crystalline flower was left in the impression of her footfall.
This is the effect produced by the combination of Snow Spiritual Root and Qianhuan Real Eyes, like a brand new field of magical snow!
Bai Lian never intended to show off; even if she tried, she wouldn’t be able to impress anyone.
This blame must be placed on the Taiyin Pillar.
After the Taiyin Pillar entered her body, it constantly rubbed against her, creating impacts that prevented her from fully controlling her own strength.
Now even a slight leakage of her Spirit Qi has such a Special Effect. If she were to truly unleash all her power, she could freeze the entire Taicang Basin and easily cover the vast land with ice flowers.
Finally, after walking half a mile away, Bai Lian’s figure completely vanished from the jade rabbit’s sight.
The jade rabbit stood dazedly in place.
Gone.
Bai Lian is gone.
She turned her head and glared at Fang Yan fiercely, resembling an angry cat.
But she ultimately didn’t shout or scream, and after a few seconds had passed, she suppressed all her anger.
Bai Lian is not one to hold grudges against others.
Looking at the motionless jade rabbit, Fang Yan didn’t know what to say.
He probably could understand what was in the jade rabbit’s heart, and because of that, he felt extremely ashamed.
“I…”
Fang Yan clenched his fist.
He still remembered the slogan shouted by his friends at Bai Sect-
Revive the glory of Bai Lian, it is the Bai Sect’s duty that cannot be shirked!
He had discovered the problem, so it should have been him who solved it.
However, due to his incompetent sovereign’s involvement, Your Highness the Saint was also caught up in it.
Ah.
I’m such a useless person!
Fang Yan gave a bitter smile.
He lowered his head but suddenly noticed that the jade rabbit had approached him.
“Haw!”
Fang Yan was taken aback.
What does that mean?
He saw the jade rabbit point toward the sword tied around his waist.
“You want this?”
The jade rabbit nodded.
Fang Yan hurriedly handed over the sword. The moment it fell into the jade rabbit’s hand, it transformed.
It became so small that even the jade rabbit’s paw could grasp it.
It became divine, and the blade shimmered with a radiance akin to bright moonlight.
The jade rabbit brandished it at the water curtain, and on the blade, a radiant moon was carried forth by endless sword-light, soaring outward.
This sword is called——
Moon Sword Formula!
Indeed.
This is the unparalleled sword technique that Bai Lian obtained from the system, also the first move of the divine spell “Baiwusheng Sword Technique” created by the Yaoguang Star Lord!
It possesses the power to devour the heavens, slaughter cities, annihilate nations, and shatter stars and worlds without difficulty.
However, the jade rabbit is just a rabbit after all.
Her grand sword strike was unable to breach Bai Lian’s blockade.
Yet the jade rabbit didn’t become discouraged.
If one sword won’t suffice, then two will!
She tirelessly wielded the Moon Sword Formula to strike at the water curtain.
Fang Yan watched and wanted to dissuade the jade rabbit. He knew that using such powerful moves frequently would be harmful to the body.
But he couldn’t persuade the jade rabbit to change her mind.
The moonlight in the water curtain was constantly washed away. At a certain moment, when the jade rabbit slashed again, a crack suddenly appeared on the solid water curtain.
“…”
The jade rabbit stood motionless in place.
She actually hadn’t expected to be able to break through the water curtain.
Now that the water curtain had been broken, she was not only unhappy but also full of worry.
Bai Lian must be in trouble.
There is no time to hesitate.
Carrying this short sword that was five inches long, the jade rabbit transformed into a stream of light and flew swiftly toward the depths of the Yuanqing Mountain.
Fang Yan looked back and forth, but in the end he decided to stay.
All he could do was continue guarding the refugees and ensure they would not be harmed.
