Chapter 433: Murals

Closing the Old Man’s diary.

Lin Xun rubbed his eyes, organizing the thoughts in his mind.

First was the Qingtian Xuannü Technique.

He hadn’t expected that the reason the Old Man used the Qingtian Xuannü Technique on him and Wang Xing was because their birth characters couldn’t fuse.

Under normal circumstances, it’s impossible for a man and woman’s birth characters not to fuse.

Because as long as there’s even a slight possibility of ‘being together,’ it’s fine.

But he hadn’t expected that before using the Qingtian Xuannü Technique, he and Wang Xing simply couldn’t be together, not even a tiny bit of possibility.

Actually, Lin Xun could understand.

Because he would meet Qinger later and be with Qinger.

If it weren’t for the Qingtian Xuannü Technique, he might never have met Wang Xing in his life, nor known about Wang Xing’s body.

Even if he found out later, Wang Xing would probably have already failed to overcome her Life Tribulation.

It was precisely because of the Qingtian Xuannü Technique that he met Wang Xing, learned about her, and thus felt guilt towards her.

Only then did he go to Tianji City to help Wang Xing overcome her Life Tribulation.

Even now, he and Wang Xing not only have the red thread of the Qingtian Xuannü Technique but also the secret art of the Concentric Knot.

Everything is Karma.

However,

He remembered the Old Man writing in his diary that after he and Wang Xing jointly signed the Qingtian Xuannü Technique, they would grow old together and never leave each other until death.

This…

“Forget it, I won’t think about these things anymore.”

Lin Xun somewhat evasively didn’t want to think.

He was already in a tangled mess.

Future matters could only be discussed in the future.

At least, let Wang Xing be completely free from the distress of the Life Tribulation first.

In comparison, what exactly did the Old Man see after the Qingtian Xuannü Technique?

What kind of great Dao was involved that prevented the Old Man from leaving any record?

He even forgot it the very next day.

And what exactly is the deep part of the Barren Domain like?

Too many questions.

Too many questions waiting for him to unravel.

But Lin Xun certainly wouldn’t go to the Barren Domain now.

The Old Man had warned him so severely.

He had to at least return to his previous Realm.

Otherwise, if he went and something unexpected happened, what would Qinger and Wang Xing do?

With She Qiqi’s troublemaking personality, the world would definitely fall into chaos in the future.

Although Lin Xun didn’t quite believe she could do it, after all, the two worlds were too vast.

But what if?

That She Qiqi fellow is truly unfathomable.

If She Qiqi really succeeded in the future and caused a huge incident, and he couldn’t get out of the deep parts of the Barren Domain, or even died, it would be extremely troublesome.

No longer thinking too much.

Lin Xun put all these letters back into the secret compartment on the cave ceiling.

Since the Old Man told him and his Junior Sister to go to his secluded cultivation place, saying there was something inside.

Then without further ado, he definitely had to go.

Perhaps it was related to that Blood Demon.

Leaving the Immortal Cave, Lin Xun flew to Su Ying’s courtyard.

Entering the courtyard, Lin Xun knocked on the maiden’s door:

“Xiao Ying, are you resting?”

“Senior Brother?”

The maiden, who was studying a ‘Heart Enchantment Formation’ in her room, heard her Senior Brother’s voice and quickly put away the formation diagram in her hand, startled.

Slightly tidying her skirt and hair, Su Ying opened the door:

“Senior Brother, have you returned so soon?”

“Mm.”

Lin Xun nodded.

“I just found some things in Master’s Immortal Cave; I’ll tell you about them later. For now, let’s go somewhere.”

“Somewhere?”

“That’s right, Master’s secluded cultivation place.”

Daoist Ming Lu’s secluded cultivation place was located in a secret chamber at the bottom of a lake.

This lake itself was incredibly strange.

No matter the season or time, this lake always emitted a cold aura.

And no matter how you used spiritual power to protect your body, you would feel a bone-chilling cold.

When they were children, Lin Xun and Su Ying were brought to this lake by Daoist Ming Lu every month, where they would immerse themselves for three days.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Xun and Su Ying’s resistance to Yin-cold Qi far surpassed that of Cultivators in the same Realm.

Chanting a spell, the Magic Formation opened, and the water in the lake naturally parted to both sides.

A flight of steps of unknown depth appeared before Lin Xun and Su Ying.

Just like when they were children, Lin Xun walked down in front, while Su Ying gently tugged at Lin Xun’s clothes.

The maiden recalled that first time walking down into this secret chamber, she had been behind her Senior Brother, tightly holding onto his arm.

The maiden raised her head, looked at her Senior Brother’s back in front of her, then lowered her head and looked at her own graceful, grown-up figure.

The difference was that both she and her Senior Brother had grown up.

The maiden felt a bit conflicted.

After growing up, Senior Brother always ran around all day, rarely staying with her.

But the maiden was also a little happy.

It was precisely because they had grown up that she and Senior Brother could do more things that only adults could do.

The maiden’s lips gently pursed, her hand quietly moved down, gripping Lin Xun’s large palm.

The maiden’s heart was even more resolute.

She must obtain her Senior Brother before he leaves.

Because her Senior Brother’s personality was just like that.

As long as she obtained her Senior Brother.

Then no matter what, no matter when, Senior Brother would never forget her and would always be responsible for her.

“Thud.”

With the final sound of their feet landing, Lin Xun and Su Ying had reached the bottom.

A few flames flew from Lin Xun’s fingertips, lighting all the torches.

The eerie blue flames reflected at Lin Xun and Su Ying’s feet, illuminating everything around them.

This was a spacious Immortal Cave.

There was a large door in front of the Immortal Cave, and beyond the door was Daoist Ming Lu’s secluded cultivation chamber.

And in front of the large door, nine Life Lamps were lit, with only the last one remaining.

This indicated that Daoist Ming Lu was still alive during his secluded cultivation, even if he had been subjected to Possession.

According to the diary’s records, Lin Xun found the groove for the secret chamber’s switch, then infused a wisp of spiritual power with a spell, and finally injected it.

“Rumble.”

Countless limestone fragments fell from the secret chamber door.

The heavy door automatically lifted upwards.

With the secret chamber door fully open, Lin Xun and Su Ying slowly walked in.

This was the first time Lin Xun and Su Ying had entered this secret chamber.

Previously, Daoist Ming Lu had forbidden Lin Xun and Su Ying from coming here.

As for the reason, Daoist Luming had never said.

The secret chamber was very dim, but you could see everything clearly.

There was nothing inside; it was truly just an ordinary stone room.

Even the spiritual power concentration inside wasn’t much higher.

Lin Xun and Su Ying both began to wonder why Daoist Ming Lu would choose this place for secluded cultivation.

What was so special about this place?

And just as Lin Xun and Lin Xun took another step forward.

Suddenly, the entire secret chamber became completely bright, like daylight.

And on the surrounding stone walls, strange murals slowly appeared.
