Arc 4: Cultivation (end)
Shao Ci dragged his heavy body, using his healing ability to repair himself while struggling to move towards the direction of the main hall.
At this moment, he realized that living in such a big place was also a very troublesome thing. He had never realized that walking could be so tiring.
If he didn't have the healing ability, he would probably have collapsed on the road. However, this ability was not omnipotent and couldn't help with his soul...
"Speaking of which, what is Si Wuyue doing?" Shao Ci couldn't help but think of something to distract himself from the current pain.
And how was Si Wuyue able to attack him from such a distance?
【That's because the previous target left a mark on the host's body, so they can use magic on the host no matter how far apart they are.】
Shao Ci: "..." It seems like the Immortal Lord mentioned it before.
Si Wuyue was truly terrifying. It seemed like he couldn't escape from him as long as he stayed in this world...
【Don't worry, there is a technique in this secret realm that suppresses the soul, so the host's soul won't leave.】
Shao Ci: "..." Really? Then why does he still feel so uncomfortable right now, as if he's about to die...
【Although the host's soul cannot leave, it also cannot return, so it causes extremely intense damage to the body. A slight carelessness could lead to death.】
Shao Ci: "Hey!" So, does that mean he can still eat his bento?
Shao Ci remembered that he had eaten his bento three times in this world, and now he only had one chance left!
If he used up this chance, it would be troublesome if something happened in the future.
【So, the host needs to be careful.】
As soon as the system finished speaking, Shao Ci felt another tearing pain in his chest, and his consciousness became much blurrier. He stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Shao Ci was about to curse. Could you really survive in the cultivation world just by being careful?!
Not knowing how far he had walked, Shao Ci finally arrived at the main hall. As he leaned against the wall, catching his breath, he saw the situation inside.
Inside the hall, there were two people facing each other in a standoff, and the one clearly in a weaker position was someone Shao Ci was very familiar with - Ling Wangchen.
Shao Ci: "!? Wait, what?"
He had originally thought that Ling Wangchen and the Immortal Lord were the same person... But now it seemed that even though they were the same person, their consciousness was different.
Shao Ci's emotions instantly became complicated.
At this moment, the Immortal Lord appeared more casual, while Ling Wangchen was struggling to resist, with many injuries all over his body, making his movements much slower.
When Ling Wangchen saw Shao Ci, he was clearly taken aback for a moment, and then he was immediately trapped by spiritual power, unable to move.
The Immortal Lord chuckled softly, "If you're daydreaming at a time like this, everything will be over."
As he spoke, he was about to stab his sword towards Ling Wangchen.
In that instant, Shao Ci's heart skipped a beat.
After all, Ling Wangchen was just a remnant soul. If he was devoured by the original body like this, he would completely disappear... and even lose the chance of reincarnation.
After thinking about this, Shao Ci somehow found the strength to rush forward and directly stood in front of Ling Wangchen.
He didn't know what he was thinking. Clearly, these things had nothing to do with him, but he just didn't want Ling Wangchen to die.
The Immortal Lord also didn't expect Shao Ci to directly rush over. The sword that was originally going to strike was immediately pulled back, but the sword energy was difficult to retract and directly swept over Shao Ci.
Already heavily injured, Shao Ci coughed up a mouthful of blood and his face was covered in cold sweat.
“Xiao' Ci!¹" Ling Wangchen held Shao Ci in astonishment, anxiously checking his body. "Are you okay?"
Shao Ci lay on him, feeling terrible. "I... I have something to do…"
If just now he could still control it reluctantly, now it feels like he's adding injury to injury and his consciousness is about to drift away.
The Immortal Lord's face also turned cold. What Shao Ci did just now undoubtedly indicated that in his heart, his own clone was more important.
Even though he knew this, it was still difficult for him to accept it when he saw it for real.
Why wasn't it him?
The Immortal Lord spoke, "Hand him over to me."
Ling Wangchen was taken aback but understood that his strength was indeed inferior to the Immortal Lord's. Since it concerned Shao Ci's safety, he immediately handed Shao Ci over to the Immortal Lord.
The Immortal Lord held Shao Ci carefully, inspecting him with a growing gloomy expression. "His soul is extremely unstable, but it is barely held within his body under the suppression of this formation. If we don't deal with it quickly, there is a definite risk to his life."
Clearly, it shouldn't have reached this extent with just the sword energy. It was evident that Shao Ci was already injured, but he was still willing to stand in front of this remnant soul.
"What should we do?" Ling Wangchen whispered, looking at Shao Ci in a panicked manner.
Shao Ci unexpectedly stood in front of him, and he felt very happy. In that moment, he even thought that it didn't matter if he died now, knowing Shao Ci's feelings for him made him feel content.
But if it meant that Shao Ci would get hurt because of this, he would rather have died from the beginning.
"It's difficult to resolve now." The Immortal Lord's expression was extremely grave as he said, "Originally, I planned to slowly remove the mark, but the mark on his body was triggered by a force... Now, only my full strength can save him."
"And now, only your power is missing." The Immortal Lord turned to Ling Wangchen and spoke softly, "You are me, I know, you must be willing."
"Yes." Ling Wangchen also understood very well, after all, he was a part of the other's soul. "It's indeed difficult to control one's power with a missing part of the soul."
His expression instantly became firm.
He wanted to live, he wanted to live together with Shao Ci... but if Shao Ci wasn't here, then all of this would be meaningless.
Ling Wangchen looked at Shao Ci, pale and covered in cold sweat, held his hand, and lowered his head to gently kiss his lips, a smile in his eyes.
…………
……
"I... will always be by your side," he said.
Ling Wangchen took one last look at Shao Ci and closed his eyes. Memories of the time spent with Shao Ci flashed through his mind. Even the Immortal Lord had these memories, but for Ling Wangchen, they were unique.
After using the technique, Ling Wangchen's solid body slowly became translucent, and eventually turned into a mist-like appearance, completely dissipating.
After absorbing the last bit of power, the Immortal Lord carried Shao Ci and walked towards the inner hall.
Shao Ci struggled to open his eyes, as if realizing something, and asked softly, "Ling Wangchen...?"
The Immortal Lord was momentarily startled, then smiled slightly and said in the tone of Ling Wangchen's memories, "I'm right here."
Shao Ci, in a dazed state, couldn't see very clearly and immediately felt relieved, falling into a deep sleep.
The Immortal Lord remained silent for a while before softly saying, "...I won't be any worse than him."
There was a hint of unwillingness in his tone.
But he also understood that after the disappearance of this clone, his position in Shao Ci's heart would be difficult to change.
………..
……
Bringing Shao Ci to the bathhouse, the Immortal Lord finally calmed his mind and gently sent his consciousness into Shao Ci's sea of consciousness, where he saw numerous black threads entangling his soul.
"Are these the ones?" The Immortal Lord's expression turned cold. It was clear that these were from the ghost realm.
It seemed that the previous warning had not taught that person from the ghost realm a lesson. This time, the Immortal Lord would not easily let them off with just a warning.
He carefully pulled out those threads with his consciousness, to avoid harming Shao Ci's soul.
These threads had a strong corrosive effect on Shao Ci's soul, but they posed no significant threat to the Immortal Lord.
…………
……
Shao Ci was in a state between consciousness and sleep, feeling a lot of pain in his body as if something was being forcibly torn apart from within.
But under the system's cover, he could still bear it, so he just furrowed his brows slightly.
"It's okay, hold on a little longer," Shao Ci seemed to hear a familiar voice ringing in his ears.
The voice was so familiar that it instantly put him at ease, even causing his furrowed brows to relax.
Holding Shao Ci in his arms, the Immortal Lord let out a sigh.
If Shao Ci was happy, what did it matter if he had to pretend to be this clone?
At least, after obtaining this part of the soul, he would never reveal his true identity again.
When the connection between Shao Ci and Si Wuyue was completely eliminated, the Immortal Lord breathed a sigh of relief and used his spiritual power to heal Shao Ci's injuries.
………
…..
When Shao Ci opened his eyes, he found himself lying in bed, with Ling Wangchen sitting beside him, watching him.
Shao Ci was exhausted, but seeing Ling Wangchen unharmed, he also felt relieved and grabbed his hand, "I'm so glad you're okay."
Ling Wangchen forced a smile and whispered, "I'm fine. I'll always be by your side. Now, just rest well."
He then reached out and touched Shao Ci's forehead.
Shao Ci felt a great sense of comfort and fell asleep directly, but suddenly heard the voice of the system.
【Due to the host's soul reaching a certain level of exhaustion, the sleep function is activated.】
Shao Ci: "... What? There's even this setting!"
【After all, the host's soul is the most important. It would be very troublesome if any problems arise.】
Shao Ci: "..." Why didn't Si Wuyue intervene when he forcefully engaged in intimate activities with him before? How is this determined?
【Sleep function is set to end on the day when the male lead's martial strength reaches its peak, and sleep function is activated.】
Shao Ci: "..." This useful function should be promoted in every world! He originally thought he would have to stay in this world for thousands of years.
But he hadn't had a chance to tell Ling Wangchen that he would be unconscious for a while, and his cultivation level is only in the Qi Refining stage. Can he hold on until then?
Before he could even open his eyes and explain the situation to Ling Wangchen, Shao Ci fell into a deep sleep.
The Immortal Lord initially thought that Shao Ci would only rest for a moment and wake up the next day.
But the next day, no matter what he tried, Shao Ci couldn't wake up. No matter what methods he used, Shao Ci remained in a state of unconsciousness.
Everything seemed fine, except for the fact that Shao Ci's soul was weak and frail. The Immortal Lord couldn't find any other reason for Shao Ci's unconsciousness.
At first, he could tolerate it, as long as he could see Shao Ci every day, everything seemed fine.
But Shao Ci's cultivation level was only in the Qi Refining stage, and even though the Immortal Lord infused spiritual power into him every day, his body continued to weaken.
After all, the lifespan of a Qi Refining cultivator is only two to three hundred years. Only by becoming a Foundation Building cultivator can this lifespan be extended. Otherwise, when the end comes, they will die directly.
The Immortal Lord brought almost all the treasures from the secret realms, but could only extend this period of time to four to five hundred years.
As time passed, his patience grew thinner and thinner.
Looking at the sleeping Shao Ci, he couldn't help but think, does he know that the residual soul has already dissipated, so he refuses to wake up?
No, that can't be it.
As long as he can wait, Shao Ci will surely wake up one day and smile at him.
Finally, there came a day when even the treasures couldn't sustain Shao Ci's body.
As a Qi Refining cultivator, this was already the limit.
Even if he wanted to forcefully improve Shao Ci's cultivation level, he couldn't do it.
The Immortal Lord held Shao Ci's hand and suddenly remembered the ancient spell of prolonging life.
Those were forbidden spells that went against the natural order and required sacrificing a large number of cultivators.
But what did it matter to him? Even if the entire cultivation world perished, it wouldn't be a problem for him.
The Immortal Lord lowered his head and kissed the young man lying in the ice coffin, a hint of madness in his eyes.
…………
……..
Over the years, news of the treasures in this secret realm had spread, and every few years, numerous cultivators would rush here.
In the past, only a few cultivators would sacrifice themselves, but this time, everyone who went in died, and not a single person was able to leave the secret realm.
The secret realm was already very dangerous, and with countless cultivators dying every day in the cultivation world due to conflicts, no one took it seriously.
But later on, more and more people entered the secret realm, and none of them returned. There were even messages left behind by Nascent Soul cultivators warning others not to go.
This alarmed everyone. Even Nascent Soul cultivators didn't have a chance to escape. How dangerous was this secret realm?
The major sects invited a highly cultivated Deity Transformation stage expert to take a look at the secret realm, but after assessing it, he shook his head and ordered everyone not to enter.
If even a Deity Transformation stage expert said that, then no one dared to enter the secret realm anymore, except for a few reckless individuals.
They thought that the secret realm would become forbidden, but a few months later, something shocking happened.
The mist in the secret realm disappeared, and the entire realm appeared directly in the cultivation world, floating above the abyss.
Then, the ground cracked open, and a magnificent fairy palace emerged in the sky.
This palace was like a dream come true, the residence of immortals.
Even the tiles were carved from spirit stones, and every blade of grass was a rare and precious spiritual herb. This fairy palace drove the entire cultivation world crazy.
Everyone immediately forgot how many people had died in the palace before and rushed towards it. Even if they could only take a single tile or pluck a single weed, it would be worth it in their lifetime.
But most of the people who rushed in ended up losing their lives, and only a few lucky individuals managed to escape.
The ones who escaped were terrified and claimed to have seen something inside the palace.
The owner of the palace was still alive, a young man so beautiful that he didn't seem human, with incredibly powerful cultivation. But at the same time, he was a terrifying madman.
Although his methods were not as sinister as those of demonic cultivators, he showed no mercy when sacrificing cultivators. And all of this was done to prolong the life of a Qi Condensation stage cultivator.
What kind of person could do such a thing if not a madman?
If they had such great power, how many dao companions would they have? Who would be fixated on just one person?
And then, this person walked out of the secret realm.
He spent most of his time in the palace, occasionally leaving.
He would often appear in certain sects and casually take the lives of hundreds of cultivators before leaving.
No one could resist him, no matter what methods they used, they couldn't harm him.
Some people tried to invade the palace while he was away, but without exception, they all died a miserable death.
In the end, his face became a symbol of fear and despair.
But even with such madness, countless people still admired him to the point of madness. They were willing to follow him even if it meant sacrificing their lives.
And it seemed that he realized he couldn't be in multiple places at once, so he took these people as his subordinates, even guiding them and giving them immense power.
In order to resist him, almost all the cultivators in the cultivation world united, but they were completely powerless against him. They couldn't even contend with his subordinates.
The opponent's cultivation is completely different from what a cultivator in the cultivation world should have, but rather resembles the strength of someone from the immortal realm.
And when everyone was in despair, a young man named Shao Yuezhao appeared.
He had strong power, a handsome appearance, a kind heart, and was very enthusiastic. He treated all cultivators with great attitude, and he also had incredible luck.
He not only gained the friendship of cultivators from various races but also obtained various inheritances. No matter how dangerous the secret realm he entered, he could always come out unscathed, and even obtained the legendary inheritance of an ancient god.
After a thousand years, he had become an existence that surpassed everyone's expectations.
As such a perfect cultivator, he was immediately praised and became the hope of the entire cultivation world. Most sects invested their resources in him, hoping that he would defeat the evil in that secret realm.
Shao Yuezhao did not disappoint everyone's expectations. He led cultivators from various races and successfully reached the fairy palace.
Although it was said that everyone fought together, as long as Shao Yuezhao made a move, others could only watch respectfully and admire, without any room to intervene.
And when he arrived here, Shao Yuezhao dismissed the others and entered the range of the palace alone.
He finally arrived at the place he had dreamed of countless times.
Others thought he was an extremely righteous person, but they didn't know that his appearance was just a disguise.
He didn't care about the life and death of the cultivation world at all. After experiencing the events of that year, the only person he cared about was his cousin who escaped on the night of the clan's annihilation, even if it meant sacrificing himself.
After avenging his enemies, the only purpose of his existence was to find that person.
He didn't even remember any mission entrusted to him to kill the evil in the secret realm.
As for others, no matter how friendly and amiable Shao Yuezhao appeared to be when facing them, he never cared about them in his heart. These people were merely tools he used to achieve his goals.
After obtaining a secret technique that could locate souls, he finally found the whereabouts of his cousin.
In his dream, he entered a fairy palace, and his cousin was lying inside.
Shao Yuezhao naturally knew that the fairy palace was an extremely dangerous place. He had entered that secret realm before and obtained many treasures, but he had never entered the fairy palace.
He originally thought that seeing his cousin when he was severely injured in the forbidden area was just a dream, but now he had a faint feeling that it was not a dream, but reality.
In order to enter that place, in order to have the strength to take his cousin away, Shao Yuezhao had been constantly training for these years.
As long as it was for his cousin, no matter how much suffering he had to endure or what he had to do, it didn't matter.
And now, he finally achieved this goal.
Walking slowly in this palace, pushing open the door, everything felt so familiar. And finally, an ice coffin appeared in front of him.
Shao Yuezhao walked slowly outside, and his heart suddenly started beating rapidly, almost as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
Walking to the front of the ice coffin, the person sleeping inside was so familiar, the face he dreamed of day and night, there was no difference from back then.
Just looking at it like this, it felt like going back to the past.
His expression couldn't help but relax, reaching out to touch the other person's cheek, "Cousin..."
But then Shao Yuezhao's expression changed, quickly dodging to the side, only to see that the place where he had originally stood was already covered in countless blocks of ice.
And the silver-haired youth, who was considered a madman that everyone avoided, was slowly walking towards him. His appearance was extremely handsome, with a cold arrogance in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He held Shao Ci, who was in the ice coffin, in his arms and gently kissed his cheek as if he had done it countless times before.
Shao Yuezhao's gaze turned cold, immediately drawing his sword and coldly said, "Give him back to me."
"Give him back?" The silver-haired youth smiled lightly, reaching out to caress Shao Ci's cheek. "He is mine, and he will only stay by my side."
Shao Yuezhao: "You're asking for death."
"If you can kill me, go ahead and try." The silver-haired youth spoke indifferently, placing Shao Ci back in the ice coffin.
He could naturally see that Shao Yuezhao was very strong, far beyond the ordinary cultivators.
But what does it matter? He would never give Shao Ci to anyone because of this.
Shao Yuezhao immediately attacked the Immortal Sovereign.
He had countless inheritances, and in this cultivation world, there were almost no opponents who could match him. Although the person in front of him was extremely strong, Shao Yuezhao was confident in his abilities.
The two of them didn't use any large-scale spells, but their power was enough to make this space almost unable to withstand it, causing numerous small cracks in the space.
Even Nascent Soul cultivators would not dare to easily touch these cracks, but the two of them didn't care at all.
And they intentionally or unintentionally avoided the area where the ice coffin was located. Everything they passed by shattered, including the countless coveted Immortal Spirit Stones, which turned into powder.
The Immortal Sovereign was indeed very powerful, but after so many years, his power had also been greatly depleted. Moreover, there was no immortal energy in this cultivation world, and spiritual energy could only replenish a part of his power. Most of the time, he had to use more power to maintain Shao Ci's body.
But Shao Yuezhao was favored by the heavens, and he even discovered a large amount of Immortal Jade in an ancient cave, which made his power extremely dominant.
After several rounds of fighting, the Immortal Sovereign suddenly fell into a disadvantage.
The two of them fought for a while, and the Immortal Sovereign suddenly took a few steps back, blood flowing from the corner of his lips.
"I lost," the Immortal Sovereign chuckled softly. He never thought he would have this day.
…………
……
In the midst of drowsiness, Shao Ci heard the voice of the system.
【Detected that the cultivation level of the male protagonist in the original text has reached its peak, and the host's soul has also been mostly restored, so the hibernation function is deactivated.】
How long has it been? The cultivation level of the male protagonist has already become so high.
Could it be that he has been sleeping for hundreds or even thousands of years?
These thoughts crossed Shao Ci's mind as he slowly opened his eyes. It felt as if he had just fallen asleep yesterday.
After sitting up from the ice coffin, Shao Ci immediately saw a young man standing opposite him.
【Beep beep beep... Detected a character with higher combat power... According to the system's rules, the target for conquest will be changed... Conquest object changed to Shao Yuezhao.】
Shao Ci: "!?" Huh, why is Shao Yuezhao here?
Shao Yuezhao was shocked to see Shao Ci alive and well. His eyes turned slightly red, and his voice trembled as he said, "Cousin...?"
There were too many emotions in his heart, making it difficult for him to react. What he saw in front of him was unexpectedly real.
When Shao Ci turned his head, he saw the pale-faced Immortal Sovereign.
The expression on the Immortal Sovereign's face was extremely complicated, but he smiled gently.
He walked up to Shao Ci and held his hand.
In that instant, the skills of the previous conquest target activated due to the system's prompt. However, Shao Ci, who had just woken up, forgot about it and instinctively pulled his hand away.
Shao Ci: "!!"
Why does the same mistake have to be made so many times?
The Immortal Sovereign chuckled softly, "So you already know."
"What do I know...?"
"I should have understood long ago. You only care about that remnant soul." The Immortal Sovereign seemed to have suppressed his emotions for a long time and finally found an opportunity to vent, saying, "That's why you didn't want to wake up after knowing that he had dissipated. Because you hate me and don't want to face me."
But after someone came looking for him, Shao Ci immediately woke up.
Did he really want to leave his side that much?
The Immortal Sovereign thought about these things, and his gaze became even more gentle.
Shao Ci was immediately stunned. "...Ling Wangchen?"
He could only vaguely remember the situation at that time. Could it be that it was all because of his mistake...that Ling Wangchen died?
The Immortal Sovereign suddenly spoke softly, "That name belongs to me."
Originally, it should have been his from the beginning.
Shao Ci: "Ah, sorry." It was just a momentary habit...
"But it's okay. He has completely disappeared from this world now." The Immortal Sovereign's expression was very gentle, but it made people feel even more terrified. He firmly grasped Shao Ci's wrist, "Only I can stay by your side until the end."
"What are you going to do to my cousin?" Shao Yuezhao immediately wanted to rush forward, but several barriers suddenly appeared in front of him.
After all, this was the Immortal Sovereign's territory, so it was natural that he had set up various defenses inside.
Even though Shao Yuezhao's combat power was slightly higher than the Immortal Sovereign's, it was not something that could be easily overcome by breaking through these barriers.
Shao Ci looked at the Immortal Sovereign in astonishment, "You...". Actually, the situation hasn't reached such an unsolvable level yet.
But before Shao Ci could say anything, the Immortal Sovereign hugged him directly.
Shao Ci felt like his whole body was being electrocuted, and the pain made it impossible for him to speak.
He could only faintly hear the other person whispering in his ear.
"Don't want to leave my side..."
"Huh?" Shao Ci hadn't yet grasped what he was saying when the ground suddenly cracked open.
The immortal palace was originally located above the abyss. After the ground cracked open, a pitch-black, bottomless abyss could be seen at a glance.
Shao Ci: "!?" What is he trying to do?
The Immortal Sovereign smiled slightly at Shao Ci, kissed his forehead, and then held him tightly as they jumped into the nearby abyss.
Shao Ci had no strength to struggle, and it was almost time for him to leave this world, so he didn't resist.
"This way, we can be together forever," the Immortal Sovereign whispered softly.
Perhaps after so many years, he had truly gone mad.
..............
......
The two of them fell into the abyss like this.
Shao Yuezhao finally broke through the last barrier, but he couldn't even grab onto Shao Ci's clothes. He could only watch as Shao Ci disappeared before his eyes once again.
Shao Yuezhao clenched his fists so tightly that his hands were almost bleeding.
In the end, was there anything he could do?
——————————
Author's Note: Finally, I posted a lot of chapters...【.
Anyway, it's finally over (:з」∠)
I wrote a bonus chapter for Qingxuan as a treat~ It can be considered an open-ended bonus chapter (hey
————————
Ever since he became conscious, he was trapped in a small space.
He vaguely realized that it was an egg.
Ancient dragon clans would turn into eggs when they encountered danger but hadn't completely lost their vitality. However, to hatch, they needed not only a significant amount of time but also immense power.
However, he couldn't get out.
Because his injuries were too severe, it took a long time for him to finally grow, but the spiritual energy around him was too thin to supply the egg with the necessary aura, and his vitality gradually dissipated.
He almost thought he would die in the egg, without hatching, and leave like this.
However, at the next moment, a warm and powerful force surged in.
He wanted to see who the person who saved him was. He forcefully broke open the shell and, in that instant of seeing that person, a warm current surged in his heart. Then, he pounced on the person in front of him.
He had no memory and didn't know who he was. He just wanted to stay with this person forever.
Later, that person gave him a name and said, "...From today onwards, your name will be Qingxuan."
This name felt familiar and he liked it.
Qingxuan thought that he would always stay with that person, but then they encountered several demonic cultivators.
That person called those people by a certain name.
He was scared, but more than being scared, he wanted to protect that person.
In the end, he used up all his vitality and turned back into an egg.
But it didn't matter, at least he protected that person.
Qingxuan looked at the person's nervous expression and suddenly felt regret... He still wanted to stay by this person's side.
After turning back into an egg, this time he didn't lose his past memories. Instead, he was handed over to the dragon clan.
As an ancient dragon clan member, Qingxuan naturally became the highest-ranking person in the dragon clan in an instant. He was placed in the best location and could absorb a large amount of spiritual energy every day. Countless dragon clan members would come to worship him every day, almost treating him as a deity. There were even many dragon cultivators who used their own power to help him grow, making his soul even more stable with their fresh blood.
In this way, who knows how much time passed.
Perhaps because he absorbed more spiritual energy this time, Qingxuan had a stronger power and a taller body after hatching. He also remembered more things, vaguely recalling his experiences in ancient times.
But compared to all these things, he wanted to go see that person more.
Now he was stronger than before, and his body was taller. He could hold that person in his arms just like that person held him before... He could also protect that person now. No matter how many demonic cultivators came, he could handle them. He would never let that person be sad because of his injuries again.
After years of cultivation, he finally set off.
This time, he would definitely be able to stay with that person forever.
Footnote.
Bro called him ’小辭’ which translated to small words…. (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ I hate wracking my brain, guys. So please pity me for not clarifying this part.
And that's it for the Arc 4: Cultivation! Our next arc is *drum roll*...... *Intense violin music* WESTERN!
