The Moon Prince looked pitifully at the two women beside him.
Yuan Liuliu lowered her head and said nothing. She was afraid that she would see the handsome and refined Huang Jing the moment she lifted her head.
She was no longer as beautiful as she once was. Ever since her elder brother, Yuan Jikong, was discovered to have colluded with the enemy, her father was assassinated, and Yuan Jikong went missing.
However, the Moon Prince did not punish them. Instead, he kept them by his side and treated them like his own daughters.
Perhaps the sisters took care of the Moon Prince because of Huang Jing in the beginning. However, after this incident, the two of them willingly treated the Moon Prince as their own father. They took care of him with all their might.
As the years passed, the two ladies' hopes for Huang Jing's return faded.
They thought he would die of old age and be buried in the earth. Who knew …
He actually returned.
"You don't have to do this …" Lu Sheng looked at the Yuan sisters and sighed.
"We're doing this willingly. Take it as atonement for our elder brother …" Yuan Yuanyuan said drily.
"Although I can't extend your lives for too long, I can still grant you some longevity." Lu Sheng flicked his finger lightly.
Three streams of White Feather Mantra's Pure Qi shot out. They turned into white lines in the blink of an eye and entered the Moon Prince and the Yuan sisters.
Soon enough, the three of them felt a surge of warmth rising from the bottom of their hearts.
The wrinkles on their faces quickly faded and disappeared. Their hunched backs slowly straightened. Their pale long hair swiftly turned black. Their skin regained its youthfulness and tenderness.
Within the span of a few breaths, the three of them instantly became several decades younger. They regained their appearances when they were in their thirties.
"This is the limit. Those who aren't cultivators can't defy fate." Lu Sheng sighed.
Even the combination of Pure Qi and Yang Essence could only achieve this much.
Their lives were extended to 200 years old. At the same time, their aging speed was greatly reduced.
"Tell me, where have you been all these years? What did you do? What did you gain? What did you lose? "
The Moon Prince heaved a long sigh. He did not feel happy just because he was young.
At his level, he had experienced everything in the world. There was nothing left for him to miss. The only thing he couldn't let go of now was his only son, who had always been mysterious and unpredictable.
Lu Sheng was silent for a while, then he began to tell the three about his experiences over the years.
He didn't tell them everything about his seclusion, but only selected a part of his travels.
Time trickled by. By the time Lu Sheng left the Moon Prince's courtyard, it was already late at night.
Bai Songzi was still standing alone outside the courtyard, waiting.
"The others have all been called back to their respective places to stand guard. My lord, the Indefinite Cult won't let this matter rest. The fall of a Human Immortal will definitely cause a huge uproar! "Bai Songzi's expression was solemn.
"I know." Lu Sheng's expression was calm. "I will take care of this matter. Be prepared to leave and go far away. "
"Are we leaving? The entire Moon Prince Mansion? "Bai Songzi was stunned.
"Yes. But only a part of it, "Lu Sheng said calmly.
Now, all he had to do was make arrangements for the Moon Prince Mansion, the Crane King Cave, and the Clear Crane Sect. Then, he could retreat.
As for how they were going to settle them down, the first thing they had to do was run far away. At the same time, they had to make the people of the Spring Autumn Sect and the Indefinite Cult forget about them. It would be best if they could live in seclusion somewhere no one could reach.
This was not a difficult task.
This planet was extremely vast. The West Cliff Dynasty was not the only place on it.
Now, he had to leave before the Indefinite Cult realized what was going on and find this place.
"Make the arrangements first. I'll delay the Indefinite Cult's arrival," Lu Sheng said softly.
"I understand …" Bai Songzi nodded solemnly. He turned around and swiftly disappeared into the darkness.
Lu Sheng tugged at the haori on his body.
"12 Human Immortals?"
With a thought, the scenery before his eyes suddenly changed. In the blink of an eye, he was standing on the peak of a desolate mountain.
There was a repaired grayish-white stone platform on the peak. A stone tablet stood beside the stone platform. The words "Bing De Mountain" were written on it.
Lu Sheng looked into the distance. Around the mountain was a vast plain that stretched as far as the eye could see. In the middle of the plain was a bustling city.
'Ever since I gained insight into the Spirit of Reincarnation, my Heart World has been expanding … It's now more than ten times its original size … How remarkable.' He felt slightly emotional.
If his Heart World before he Arrived in this world was the size of a province, then it was now more than ten provinces. It was almost the size of Great Song when he was on the Yellow Springs Planet.
'It's a pity that such a vast world can't contain living beings. It can only contain souls …' Lu Sheng felt slightly regretful.
Moreover, any souls that entered without his permission would gradually lose themselves within a few days. Then, they would be corroded and gradually disintegrate. In the end, they would disappear and become nutrients for the world.
Lu Sheng gave it some thought. Then, with a flash of his body, he vanished from his spot. When he reappeared, he was outside a small wooden house.
Inside the house, a white-haired old man happened to be closing his eyes forever.
At the same time, he clearly sensed a brand new life emerging from a residential area in the distance. It entered its mother's womb and was being nurtured.
'The cycle of life and death. Everything has its own destiny …' Lu Sheng left the house slowly. He walked on the street beside the house.
The people with monstrous strength were slowly becoming normal. They were no longer as monstrous and exaggerated as they were in the beginning.
The wild creatures in the wild were also becoming more normal. They were no longer as huge as before.
Most of the people here were divided into several groups. Some of them lived in the ancient China style of Great Song and Great Yin. Some lived in a crude lifestyle similar to ancient Europe.
There was also a faint mixture of Earth's clothing and accommodation buildings.
One after another, different towns and cities formed a different exotic atmosphere.
Lu Sheng inspected his Heart World carefully.
The number of living beings in the world had been decreasing. Now, it was more or less balanced.
An incomparably huge change had occurred in the middle.
What surprised him even more was that the size of his Heart World had reached a ridiculous size.
That was a terrifying area that could be compared to the Great Song Dynasty.
'As long as my Heart World exists, the Void Underworld doesn't die. I'd like to see how I can survive when I achieve a breakthrough! 'Lu Sheng's heart stirred slightly. He left his Heart World in the blink of an eye.
When he reappeared, it was still night time.
Lu Sheng looked up at the sky. Suddenly, with a flash of his body, he rose into the air.
He transformed into a beam of white light and shot into the dark night sky like an arrow. He instantly entered the gloomy clouds and vanished.
…
…
Indefinite Cult. Hua Jin Garden.
The Human Immortal Fei Guanghe stared at the stone table before him. He could not take his eyes off it.
A round, purplish-black, symbol plate was placed quietly on the stone table. The symbol plate looked like a compass, but it was not. Many special symbols that ordinary cultivators had never seen before were densely carved on it.
"I can't shake the feeling that there's a loophole in this natal chart … Can I tell?" Fei Guanghe put down the carving knife in his hand. He looked up at the Clear Prince, who was sitting opposite him.
"I'm not skilled enough …" the Clear Prince replied respectfully.
"Naturally, you're not skilled enough … I shouldn't have let you go to the mortal world back then. It's been more than a hundred years, and your cultivation base has only progressed so little … The karma and prosperity of the mortal world have dazzled your eyes …" Fei Guanghe said with a long sigh.
"I feel the same way. That's why I'm begging you to sever your karma with the mortal world and focus on seeking Dao." The Clear Prince's plump figure seemed to have seen through something he had never seen before.
"Sever your karma …" Fei Guanghe looked at the round plate on the table again.
"Your natal chart … It's not difficult to sever it … However, you must understand that if you sever it now, I'm afraid that if you want to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation in the future … Eh?"
Suddenly, he exclaimed softly. His upper body leaned forward slightly. He stared at the natal chart before him, slightly stunned.
The Clear Prince was stunned. Then, he asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Master?"
"There's a change …!" Fei Guanghe frowned without realizing it.
…
…
Kongying Mountain.
The land where the Indefinite Cult's 13 Human Immortals guarded was also the true headquarters of the Indefinite Cult.
There was a huge river in front of Kongying Mountain. It was known as the Zhou River. The river flowed rapidly all year round, and it was covered in submerged reefs. Legend had it that man-eating demonic beasts were hidden in the river. It was not a place where ordinary people could easily cross.
Lu Sheng stood alone at the bow of a double-decker wooden boat crossing the river. He looked at the mysterious Kongying Mountain in the distance.
The huge mountain range was hidden in layers of grayish-white mist. Mortals who passed by could not see what was inside.
This boat was owned by a boatman who lived by the shore of the Zhou River. It was said that the boatman had a mysterious technique that could pacify the demonic beasts in the river. They would not be attacked.
Hence, this boat was the only one that could cross the river safely.
"You're going to Kongying Mountain as well?" A ponytailed girl with a white spear on her back walked up from behind Lu Sheng. She asked this question when she saw Lu Sheng looking at Kongying Mountain in the distance.
The girl's name was Zhuang Yinxue. She was also a wanderer who traveled the world to visit famous hermits to enter the Immortal Path and cultivate to become an immortal.
Ever since the dynasty's Battle of Providence, there had been many such wanderers. The world was chaotic, and the people were plunged into misery and suffering. The only ones who could truly decide the fate of the people were the lofty Taoist sects.
The girl was once born into a wealthy family. However, the world was unpredictable. After an accident, her family members who did not cultivate the Martial Path died one after another. She was the only one who survived because she loved the Martial Path since she was young.
From then on, she swore that she would cultivate a powerful Art and take revenge. She would seek a chance of survival in this chaotic world.
"Yes … I'm going to Kongying Mountain." Lu Sheng nodded.
He flew all the way from the Moon Prince Mansion. He only landed when he was about to reach his destination. He disguised himself as a normal traveler and came here to tour the famous mountains and great rivers.
"Legend has it that there are hermit immortals living in seclusion there … Are you going there to seek immortality as well, Mister Lu?" Zhuang Yinxue asked in a deep voice.
"You can say that …" Lu Sheng smiled.
"You might not know this, Mister. This place is shrouded in fog all year round. If you want to enter the mountain from the front, you'll get lost in no time and come out again. I've been here once before, and I was sent out in a daze, "Zhuang Yinxue said with a hint of helplessness.
"I wonder if there really are immortals living here …"
"Why are you seeking immortality as well?" Lu Sheng asked all of a sudden.
Zhuang Yinxue was silent for a moment. Then, she said, "My family was harmed by villains. I just want revenge."
