Chapter 36: First Time for Me! (1)
Yue Wuyang remained in the clouds, gazing down at the Duxian Sect built upon the craggy mountains below.
The evening breeze brushed her face, but it did little to erase the sorrow etched upon her features.
Yue Wuyang knew that finding the Immortal Heavenly Lord was an incredibly difficult task.
She would have to climb peaks, traverse wildlands, and struggle through valleys.
If her luck wasn’t good, she would exhaust herself before even reaching the end.
Even with the best luck, there were still countless hardships ahead: the winding, pitch-black night roads, and the scorching heat of the rising sun at dawn.
To be honest, Yue Wuyang wasn’t afraid of death.
She had been saved by her master and was grateful for the chance to serve her, even if it meant sacrificing her life.
What she feared was failing to complete her mission.
If she failed, it would all be for nothing, even if she survived.
After being saved, she continued to cultivate in the Heavenly Court, grateful for everything her master had given her. Now, she had a rare chance to repay her master. She must give it her all.
“Let’s go to the Sand Region to take a look.”
Before arriving at the Duxian Sect, Yue Wuyang had spent time investigating local tales, even those known to common folk.
An immortal had perished in the Sand Region three thousand years ago.
The Heavenly Lord had died sixty years ago.
There was a nearly three-thousand-year gap between their deaths, so they could not have had any direct connection.
But Yue Wuyang had her suspicions.
If the Immortal Heavenly Lord hadn’t died, she might have ventured to the Sand Region to search for a way to regain her strength.
Yue Wuyang flipped through the book Bai Lian had given her.
“Well, to start off…”
She suddenly paused and lowered her head.
At first, she hadn’t paid much attention to it, but now that she looked closely, she realized that the peaks and valleys of the Duxian Sect had been carefully arranged. It wasn’t just a simple landscape—it was an intricate magic array!
Ordinary people would never have been able to create such a thing; only someone like Bai Lian could.
Yue Wuyang’s heart trembled.
Bai Lian was already considered one of the world’s greatest prodigies. Her expertise in magic arrays was shockingly profound—who knows what other secrets she understood?
In Bai Lian’s eyes, Yue Wuyang was probably just a foolish monkey, thinking herself capable when she was far from it.
When Yue Wuyang touched the Duxian Sect’s array, Bai Lian had certainly noticed her.
“This woman…”
Foreigners say Bai Lian is a great saint, kind-hearted and noble.
Fake.
Everything is a facade!
Someone as clever and profound as Bai Lian can only be described as a strategist.
“You can’t become an Immortal Emperor just by luck.”
Yue Wuyang’s solemn face suddenly lit up with a brilliant smile.
She gently caressed the corroded wound on her hand, her touch tender and sincere, as if she were caring for a newborn.
—
Half a quarter of an hour later, at Qiongming Peak, An Lan’s Divine Sense returned.
Yue Wuyang smiled in an inexplicable way before quietly leaving.
This should have been the end of it.
However, An Lan lay in bed, unable to sleep.
Her thoughts were consumed with the idea of Bai Lian and Yue Wuyang reaching an agreement to find her. How dare they?!
An Lan was incredibly frustrated.
She knew it wasn’t entirely Bai Lian’s fault.
After all, Bai Lian didn’t know she was the renowned Immortal Heavenly Lord!
If one were to be optimistic, this could make sense. But An Lan couldn’t accept it.
When she had nothing else to do, she either emptied her mind or daydreamed.
At first, she thought it was fine. But as her thoughts deepened, discomfort settled in.
She twisted uncomfortably in her bed, as if she wanted to throw something out.
If Bai Lian knew she was the Immortal Heavenly Lord and asked her for the method to cross the Other Shore…
An Lan would be deeply disappointed.
Then she would punch Bai Lian—
Wait, stop!
Hold on before I punch.
It wasn’t easy to deal with this situation.
At least Bai Lian didn’t seem like that kind of person.
However, without resolving the question, An Lan’s suspicions grew.
Perhaps it’s hard to believe, but in truth, An Lan was very steady.
The entire Duxian Sect couldn’t find many people steadier than her.
After this sudden thought, An Lan made up her mind.
She quickly performed a thorough check-up on Bai Lian at a lightning speed.
Confirming that there were no demonic eggs or seals on her, An Lan penetrated deeply into Bai Lian’s soul.
It only took three seconds—swift and accurate.
An Lan was absolutely sure: Bai Lian was an “ordinary person.”
Her soul and body were clean, untouched by anyone.
This was why An Lan had been so confident and bold in accepting Bai Lian as a disciple.
Whenever people mentioned Bai Lian being a reincarnated Immortal Emperor, An Lan would secretly smile.
But now, the problem had arisen.
An Lan had eavesdropped on Bai Lian and Yue Wuyang’s conversation.
During their exchange, Bai Lian had spoken with a lot of confidence, as if she knew the Immortal World like the back of her hand.
Hmm.
That could be an act.
But the fact that Bai Lian knew the Immortal Heavenly Lord had defeated Xianyuan Emperor completely unsettled An Lan.
“Could it be true? Is Bai Lian really a reincarnated Immortal Emperor?”
An Lan’s face tightened, her eyes growing cold.
She could tolerate a lot, but she absolutely could not tolerate Bai Lian deceiving and manipulating her!
“If Bai Lian is trying to get something from me…”
Hum.
It wouldn’t be as simple as a punch anymore.
She would torture Bai Lian in the worst ways possible, leaving her with no way to live and no way to die.
Since Bai Lian knew so much about the Immortal World, she must be aware of how terrifying the Immortal Heavenly Lord had been in her prime.
Thinking this way, An Lan rolled over in bed.
She waited.
Once Bai Lian fell asleep, she planned to secretly check her body again.
Things had clearly developed in a way An Lan hadn’t expected.
When she curled up under her quilt, wriggling in discomfort, Bai Lian suddenly walked in from outside the cave.
—
An Lan froze halfway through rolling.
Her eyes met Bai Lian’s.
A strange atmosphere spread through the cave like a tidal wave, leaving An Lan feeling helpless.
Done.
I’ve been seen!
An Lan panicked.
She wished she could punch herself for being so careless.
How could she make such a mistake? If Bai Lian had intended to harm her, she would have been severely injured just like in her past life.
She couldn’t afford to make this mistake again.
—
An Lan decided to set up an alert system at the entrance of the cave. As soon as Bai Lian stepped into the bamboo forest, she would be alerted.
That should work.
—
Meanwhile, Bai Lian had completely opposite thoughts.
Done. I’ve seen it!
She never expected things to turn out like this.
She had planned to rest that night, but the sudden events disrupted all her plans.
After Yue Wuyang left, Bai Lian had intended to take a nap when difficulty arose.
But just as she lay down, the system activated again.
[Task 1: Take a nap when you encounter difficulties! (Reward: Mid-Grade Spirit Tool – Clearing Axe)
[Task 2: Be honest and forgiving, proactively explain to the Master what happened tonight. (Reward: +2 Soft Skill)]
Bai Lian immediately woke up.
Task 2? No need to think twice.
She jumped out of bed and sprinted toward her master’s cave.
—
But…
Oh no!
She moved too quickly and too intensely.
