Chapter 22: Red Dust, Repeated a Billion Times for a Reunion!

Bai Lian didn’t want to directly confront the Eternal Lord at this moment.

After all, the Eternal Lord was once known as the number one figure in the Immortal World.

If her master and Martial Sister Tong Yao were at their peak, plus her and a few Martial Sisters, they would naturally have no fear of the Eternal Lord.

However, now that they were all weakened, it was hard to say whether they could defeat Red Dust, let alone still at his peak, the Eternal Lord.

Therefore, Bai Lian only wanted to lead the Eternal Lord around and avoid confrontation.

Fortunately, the Eternal Lord doesn’t possess profound expertise in divination and other occult practices. He practices the eternal way of the Great Tao, seeking to attain physical immortality and the refinement of the soul.

It is precisely for this reason that Bai Lian dared to boldly carry out the plan she had previously devised.

There is no one here who practices divination or other similar methods, but she possesses the Monument of the Next World which can offer some protection.

Furthermore, Martial Sister Tong Yao survived a great tribulation and is skilled in evading celestial surveillance.

The two combined are sufficient to buy them a considerable amount of time.

In an unnamed starry sky somewhere.

Bai Lian said to the people around her, "The Eternal Lord must be trying to contact others by all means now, and those who have received the message will surely be highly cautious. It is no longer possible for us to easily kill them as we did before. Moreover, the Eternal Lord understands the Great Tao of Unity, enabling his dharma body to instantly descend to any place in the three thousand realms. Once we are caught by his dharma body and his true body arrives, there will be no room for maneuver. So, our last resort is to create chaos and attack his Eternal Heavenly Realm!"

Although it was said that they were going to attack the Eternal Heavenly Realm, in fact, they were only going to show up and make the Eternal Lord nervous.

As long as they can make him nervous for half a day and unable to focus on other places, their plan will be successful.

Although she didn’t know what the future would be like, everything was going so smoothly right now that Bai Lian was unexpectedly cheerful.

Tong Yao said, "We should take action immediately, as time is of the essence. The longer we wait, the higher the possibility of errors."

"Hmm."

Bai Lian nodded, but before taking action, she sought the gaze of the others.

She is not the type of person who likes to have a monopoly, whether in internal or external affairs.

This can be seen from the billions of deductions.

Except for those deductions that almost drove her to breakdown from constant failure, she never forces her master or Martial Sisters to do anything.

Usually, it is the unique aura emanating from her that attracts the affection of her master and Martial Sisters, then she is forcibly pressed down, followed by her idea of "Since that’s the case, then I don’t need to pretend to be a gentleman" and takes the lead to rebuild the glory of Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.

At this point, Xiao Jinse is the first to speak up, "I have no objections."

"Me too!" Su Youwei immediately followed, not forgetting to pull Hong Yi along with determination, "Hong Yi is the same as me."

Hong Yi struggled a bit but didn’t say much.

Qing Luan’s speed was also not slow, "I am now the sword in the Elder Martial Sister’s hand. Wherever the Elder Martial Sister points, I will stab!"

Although Yu Ying was a bit slow, her attitude was equally firm, "I will listen to the Elder Martial Sister."

Their voices were not loud, but when their voices converged, a warm tide suddenly surged in the cold starry sky.

The monotonous world is no longer monotonous.

The pure white scroll naturally gave birth to dazzling colorful ink dots.

Bai Lian gently stroked her hair by her ear and her gaze flowed gently like water in a river, taking her back to the past.

She remembered the first time she met several Martial Sisters.

Playing the role of an expert, she showed the gentlest side she could, but even so, she still failed to win the trust of the Martial Sisters.

This is actually reasonable, isn’t it?

How could trust be such a cheap thing?

Experiences, whether big or small, sad or happy, were like ropes that bound them together, making them go through trial after trial.

Stories are only made when accompanied by others.

Trust only comes from staying together.

Until this day, trust has grown into a towering tree that shelters any one of them from the storm.

Lastly, Bai Lian’s gaze rested on her master.

The woman who stood in the corner suddenly smiled modestly like a noble lady.

"You just keep walking forward, I will always follow behind you."

The simplest language, the strongest support.

To Bai Lian, An Lan’s words were like the sound of a charging horn.

It seemed as if she had waited for this moment for over four hundred and ninety million cycles.

It seemed as if, for this moment, she had washed away all the fears and anxieties from her heart, leaving only the most fearless blood.

Right at this moment, Bai Lian slowly raised her right hand.

The fair arms extended afar, reminiscent of polished lotus roots, while the opened fingers appeared like the unfettered lotus blooms floating aloof from the mundane dust.

"Let’s depart!"

The brusque and vigorous words sprang out of Bai Lian’s cherry-colored, petite lips.

The words had such vigor that they seemed like a sudden tornado, which instigated an upswing in everyone’s emotions.

Bai Lian’s eyes were bright, surpassing any light in the starry sky, for it wasn’t an ordinary radiance.

Because that was not an ordinary light.

She wanted to name the light with hope, and at this moment, she even had a strong premonition–

This time, she can definitely break through the barrier smoothly!

However, this is ultimately just her personal premonition. When a person is emotionally excited, she may deceive herself.

Therefore, she didn’t say anything to others, but instead, gathered her courage and made a statement to her Martial Sisters in front of Master.

What needs to be done now?

Go for it, and everything will be done!

The faster one rushes, the greater the chance for success!

Individually, they may not make a big splash, but when they come together in a knot, they can surely cause tremors like smashing stones in a pot!

"Immortal."

Walking behind, Tong Yao suddenly came up to An Lan. With her voice low and shielded by magic, no one else could hear her.

An Lan used her hand like a knife and rudely hit Tong Yao on the head.

"Call me Master An or Master An Lan!"

Tong Yao pursed her lips and her cheeks slightly puffed, feeling an inexplicable frustration, "It’s already such a late hour, why are you still fixating on this?"

An Lan tapped her head again, "Whatever it may be, important matters must be taken seriously at all times!"

Tong Yao’s head was throbbing from the tapping, she felt the urge to scratch An Lan a few times, but she held back, "You’ve got a thick skin, still calling yourself Master An Lan. You’re clearly younger than my master."

An Lan chuckled, "If he can’t beat me in a fight, then he’s my younger Martial Brother, just like Yan Yue. Yan Yue couldn’t beat me, so she’s my Martial Sister and I’m the elder Martial Sister."

Tong Yao, "…"

An Lan asked, "What brings you to me, Nephew Tong Yao?"

Tong Yao was itching with anger, but she couldn’t actually confront An Lan at that moment.

Do you, this despicable woman, even know that I came to talk business with you?

She adjusted her mindset and said, "Actually, I still feel uneasy."

"Hmm?"

"It’s just a vague, indescribable emotion. As you know, I practice the Path of Wanjie Dharma, and I have premonitions about various disasters in the future."

An Lan was indifferent and replied, "You’re being paranoid."

Tong Yao said, "The Eternal Lord is not simple. If something unexpected happens, Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s plan may not be able to proceed as planned."

Suddenly, An Lan turned her head and stared at Tong Yao, causing her to feel uneasy.

"Is there anything strange about me?"

An Lan said, "Do you know why I didn’t question Bai Lian’s plan from the beginning and agreed directly?"

Tong Yao asked curiously, "Why?"

An Lan replied, "Because I understand the Eternal Lord better than you do. I know he will fall into the trap."

Tong Yao said, "Blind self-confidence?"

An Lan said, "Confident in my plans."

Tong Yao asked again, "Can it really happen?"

An Lan laughed and her gaze fell on Bai Lian in front of her.

Bai Lian was beautiful and graceful like a lotus in the water, making people forget even eating.

With a firm tone, she said, "Yes!"

If she says she can do it, then she certainly can!

The aura emanating from her now was not that of the Qiongming Peak’s leader, but that of the Immortal Heavenly Lord, who had shone for thousands of years in the Immortal World like a bright star.

Tong Yao’s mouth was slightly agape. She wanted to say something else, but after carefully examining this An Lan, who was completely different from before, she completely gave up on the idea of saying those words.

Perhaps she was infected.

Or maybe there were other reasons.

She corrected herself, "I understand why Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian was so close to you when she was naive."

Unexpectedly, An Lan turned her head and looked at her again. "No, you don’t know," she said.

If it were only based on this temperament, how could Bai Lian possibly be close to her?

Moreover, at that time, she was just a blind rural girl, dressed plainly, and speaking and acting in a rustic manner. She had no knowledge, and even with a little dirt and soot on her face, she was completely unattractive.

Why did Bai Lian get closer to her?

The only reason she could think of was that she was the first person Bai Lian saw after leaving the Land of Immortals, and at that time, she resembled Bai Lian.

Being unable to see anything, the Bai Lian who ran out of the Land of Immortals couldn’t "see" anything either.

She felt fear in the darkness, just as Bai Lian felt fear in the endless mist.

She appeared unsophisticated, just like Bai Lian who appeared unsophisticated and unknowing.

And so, they met.

Thus, she revealed her true self to Bai Lian without any defenses.

Perhaps it was the combination of these reasons that prevented Bai Lian from abandoning her and leaving.

Actually, it is not important to know why Bai Lian stayed by her side; whether it was luck or other reasons.

The important thing is the companionship after that.

For nearly ten thousand years, after nearly 500 million simulations, they have always been together, and their lives have long been filled by each other.

In fact, at this point, being together was not an important matter from the beginning.

An Lan flew straight ahead, throwing Tong Yao, who was stunned in place, far away in no time.

"I don’t know?"

What are you doing?

She stamped her foot like a petulant young girl before regaining her composure and hurrying after them.

Afterwards, she vented her anger on their attack target.

However, this time they only intended to cause chaos, not kill anyone.

Bai Lian was not impatient – she had been waiting for her revenge for a long time and wasn’t going to act impulsively.

The priority was to set fires around to attract the attention of the Eternal Lord, and once the obstacles on Red Dust’s side were cleared, there would be enough time to plan revenge against those who participated in the siege.

An Lan participated in the mischief, but not fully.

Most of the time she was silently observing from the sidelines.

It was unclear what she was observing, but when she took action, it always caused the greatest commotion.

Soon, Tong Yao, who had been repeatedly slapping someone’s face while choking them, suddenly stopped.

Smack!

She forcefully threw the person out.

"I have a bad premonition."

As soon as she spoke, Bai Lian and the others immediately stopped.

It’s almost over.

"Go elsewhere, otherwise the Eternal Lord’s manifestation should arrive soon."

"Alright."

Nobody objected.

They acted in unison and evacuated at the fastest speed.

While running, Tong Yao couldn’t help but show a smile on her lips.

"What’s going on with Martial Sister Tong Yao?" Bai Lian curiously asked as she leaned closer.

Tong Yao joyfully exclaimed, "Since becoming the Path of Wanjie DharmaPath Master, I haven’t been able to do anything recklessly like this for a long time. Back then, no matter what I did, I always had to think twice."

Suddenly, Su Youwei interrupted and chimed in, "You didn’t behave any better when you were at Qingyu Peak, did you? Although you might not remember, I remember it vividly. You were caught stealing alcohol and Master Qin punished you by hanging you up and beating you, and that’s not the only thing…"

"…"

Tong Yao turned her head and used the "Death Ray" to shoot Su Youwei.

Su Youwei stood fearless and firm.

Winning or losing doesn’t matter, but the struggle must never stop.

"You were even put in solitary confinement for several of the most serious incidents."

Tong Yao was so angry that her teeth were itching, "That was Tong Yao’s doing, can it be the fault of me, Ganlu?"

Su Youwei laughed on the spot, "Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian likes Tong Yao, not Ganlu."

"You are quite the adversary, Su Youwei. It seems we have a bone to pick."

Bai Lian quickly restrained the two of them, "What are you arguing about? If you want to argue, wait until we return to the East Divine Land. You can argue however you want."

"Ha."

"Hmph!"

Su Youwei and Tong Yao each turned their heads away.

Bai Lian had a terrible headache.

They could even argue at times like this. If they ever had the chance to live together in the future, would the roof be torn off by them?

It appears that she must make a diligent effort to exhaust all of their energy, leaving them powerless to argue!

An Lan witnessed this entire scene.

Undeniably, the situation is unpleasant.

However, her current thoughts are focused on something other than this. If she is not mistaken, their attack on the Eternal Heavenly Realm should yield excellent results.

In fact, things are just as An Lan had anticipated.

Upon arriving at the outskirts of the Eternal Heavenly Realm, the atmosphere was remarkably relaxed, in stark contrast to the fearfulness found in other places.

Therefore, despite the many great formations and prohibitions in the Eternal Lord’s blessed land, it still could not stop the footsteps of Bai Lian and her companions as they advanced.

Even though An Lan and Tong Yao had not fully recovered from their injuries, they had both been Heavenly Lords before and Bai Lian could barely be considered as a loose Heavenly Lord.

Just their combined attack alone instantly destroyed the first layer of magic array outside the Eternal Heavenly Realm.

The power of their attack was immense, echoing like the roar of a fierce beast in the depths of space!

The dazzling white light instantly scattered, carrying with it an infinite and mighty force that could crush any planet, flying towards the boundless universe.

"What’s going on?"

"Who dares to trespass on the Eternal Heavenly Realm with such audacity!"

The people attacked suddently were furious.

For thousands of years, the accumulated reputation of the Eternal Lord had kept them from panicking, even in times of crisis. They simply thought that those who dared to challenge them were reckless and now bored!

"This level of attack is not enough, we need to exert more force and push closer to the core to truly instill fear in the Eternal Lord."

After taking a deep breath, Bai Lian began to plan a new wave of attack.

Her left hand evokes the Way of Collapse and Destruction, while the right hand attaches to the Way of Creating New Life.

These two aspects of the Great Tao are complementary, although they may seem to be in opposition, when fused together, they can produce an extremely terrifying destructive power, which greatly compensates for her lack of spells mastered.

"Go!"

With a wave of her right hand, Bai Lian sent the "sword" of the Great Tao, which could shake the galaxy, flying out.

In an instant, the surrounding spiritual Qi rushed towards the "sword" as if it had found an outlet.

These disordered, chaotic, and conflicting things, when mixed together, are the purest sources of destruction in the world.

And just as this source of destruction was about to fall on the Eternal Heavenly Realm, a Demigod jumped out of the cave, cursing loudly, "Fools, seeking death here?"

As soon as the voice fell silent, the source of destruction imprinted itself on his face.

There was a flashing of red light.

Without even uttering a word, the person was directly annihilated, and the remaining large amount of energy burst out like a jet of water onto the magic array.

Boom!

The magic array instantly shook, causing all the buildings inside the heavenly realm to collapse.

It was only at this moment that the people in the Eternal Heavenly Realm truly realized how powerful the invading enemies were.

"Hurry and go to the Western Cloud Heaven to invite the Eternal Lord!"

"We must not let the heavenly realm continue to suffer damage, otherwise the Eternal Lord will bring divine punishment, and we will all suffer calamities."

Chaos had broken out in the Eternal Heavenly Realm.

Tong Yao, An Lan, Xiao Jinse and others would not give them a chance to catch their breath. At this moment, taking advantage of the sudden attack was the key. They used any moves, made as much noise as possible, fearing that the Eternal Lord who had already left would not notice.

After a fierce attack, as the third magic array was about to break, An Lan suddenly grabbed Bai Lian’s hand.

"It’s time to go."

Bai Lian stared at An Lan for a few breaths, then nodded and said, "OK."

No need to ask, she believed in her master’s judgment!

"Let’s go."

Under her call, others immediately stopped and started their second run.

Coming and going in haste – this is the best description of their actions.

The people in the Eternal Heavenly Realm are fixing the grand magic circle, while several Immortal Emperors are considering whether to go out and block the way, but unexpectedly, the people outside suddenly ran away.

However, soon they knew the reason, because the Eternal Lord had returned!

…

On the way.

"Elder Martial Sister, should we observe a little longer or go directly to find Red Dust Heavenly Lord?" Xiao Jinse asked.

Bai Lian said, "Observing a little longer won’t waste any time."

However, An Lan firmly expressed opposition, "No need to observe, let’s just go find Red Dust."

"Why?"

Bai Lian paused for a moment.

Tong Yao also asked, "Why are you so convinced today that the Eternal Lord will be too preoccupied with Red Dust to care?"

Others also looked at An Lan.

To be honest, An Lan was a bit too calm along the way, as if everything was under her control.

Facing everyone’s gaze, An Lan slowly said, "As Bai Lian should also be aware, the Eternal Lord has never cared about Red Dust. He only cares about one thing…"

Bai Lian had a sudden revelation and exclaimed, "The Blank Tao!"

An Lan corrected her and said, "More accurately, it’s not the Blank Tao but the secret to crossing the Other Shore. Red Dust had a trick up her sleeve when she was looking for them and didn’t explicitly say that you are the Blank Tao."

"So…"

Tong Yao still didn’t quite understand, what does that have to do with anything?

An Lan continued, "So no matter how much you fight, the Eternal Lord won’t be too concerned. Even if the Eternal Heavenly Realm is really destroyed today, he won’t be extremely angry."

"What?"

Xiao Jinse, Su Youwei, Yu Ying, and Qing Luan looked at each other, realizing that what they had just done was all for naught.

Bai Lian, on the other hand, immediately understood what had happened.

These were all things that she had experienced with her master before, and she even knew why the Eternal Lord had been persuaded by Red Dust.

Her voice began to tremble, "Was it because you showed yourself, Master?"

An Lan nodded. "At the level of the Eternal Lord, he only cares about crossing to the Other Shore. Everything else is either irrelevant or insignificant. And he believes that there is a secret to crossing to the Other Shore within me. Therefore, from the moment I appeared, he has been watching me. Unless Red Dust directly tells him that you are the Blank Tao, he will never pay attention to her."

"…"

The surroundings were silent as not even the crows chirped.

The master had foreseen this and thus, it was no wonder she proposed leaving a message through Thousands of Flowers.

She refrained from voicing her thoughts as she knew it would be met with rejection. She kept acting, and eventually, the deed was done.

An Lan smiled and said, "Let’s part ways here for now. You can go find Red Dust while I take the Eternal Lord away. Don’t die so suddenly. You should find out what Red Dust truly desires; otherwise, my efforts will go to waste."

"Master…"

Bai Lian felt an intense dryness in her throat and couldn’t speak a complete sentence. Suddenly, her body became extremely cold.

What she desired was to put an end to everything in this rehearsal.

However…

Her plan has been wrong from the very beginning, and it was her master who stepped forward to fill in the loopholes for her.

Given the power her master currently possesses, how long can she avoid being traced by the Eternal Lord?

What if they had directly approached Red Dust from the beginning?

It is not an option. Once any disturbances arise there, the Eternal Lord’s attention would undoubtedly be drawn. Would the Eternal Lord remain indifferent to the fact that her master is there?

What she needed to do was to face the Immortal World alone from the beginning, without her master! This was something that she must face on her own.

Bai Lian clenched her fists.

Xiao Jinse and the others remained silent.

An Lan chuckled, "We have over ten more chances, why be sad now? I take this step just to bring us closer to breaking free from the barriers."

Bai Lian lowered her head, "I know."

An Lan advised, "Good that you know, now hurry and do what you need to do. Don’t waste any time here, otherwise, the Eternal Lord may find us soon and we’ll have nowhere to escape."

"Master…"

"Go quickly!"

An Lan’s expression became cold and stern.

Bai Lian gazed at her in a daze for a while, then nodded solemnly.

"This time I will come up with a solution to the problem, and then bring all of you to solve it once and for all!"

An Lan smiled with relief, "This is how a Duxian sect Senior Sister should behave, not giving up even if it’s the last chance."

"Hmm."

Never give up.

I will never give up on my treatment.

Regardless of the methods used, she must break through, even if she cannot break through herself, at least she can let the people she cares about enjoy a moment of brightness.

Bai Lian turned decisively, remembering clearly where Red Dust was.

Because her true body was still next to Red Dust, it was not difficult for her to find it by following the most fundamental memory.

It was a desolate and uninhabited area outside the three-thousand realms.

There Bai Lian met Yaoguang Star Lord and Fu Zhu Immortal Emperor, who she had been separated from for a while.

"The Jade Rabbit, the Fifth Martial Sister, thank you."

The Jade Rabbit and the Fifth Martial Sister had serious expressions, just nodding slightly.

Facing that red light, Bai Lian’s heart was surging.

This was Red Dust’s set up barrier, in countless simulations, Red Dust had been sitting inside it all along.

What is she thinking and longing for?

Never before had Bai Lian’s body been so lively.

She walked back and forth, all for this moment.

After taking a deep breath, Bai Lian resolutely stepped into the barrier.
