Chapter 101—The Karma Was Well Ended
Lyu Liang did not understand and did not really care at all. When he swallowed the little green bead, a terrible aura came out of him. His cultivation level, which was already at the late stage of Fairy Immortal, upgraded up to two levels in an instant, directly reaching the late stage of Almighty Immortal. Compared with the cultivation level of Xueling Ancestor, it was much higher!
Xueling Ancestor was no longer calm. With bloodshot eyes, he said, “In order to break my Dark Devil Blood Barrier, you have to actually spend your soul! Tai Su, how high a price you are paying!”
Lyu Liang was shocked but it was obviously not the time to think about it. He preferred to kill the enemy in front of him first, and then return to ask Tai Su Ancestor Lord for advice.
Subsequently, the endless field of Sword Tao was launched and it wrapped Xueling Ancestor in triple layers inside and out and in a most rigorous and solid way!
Faced with Lyu Liang’s incomparable sword qi, the black light shield, which Xueling Ancestor was so proud of, lost its defense superiority totally. Whether it was there or not made no difference.
Lyu Liang knew that this had to be due to the effect of green bead. If a thunder strike was launched, it should be able to give the opponent a fatal blow, right? However, according to the current situation now, he estimated that it was not needed, because his strength was now more superior to his opponent’s!
At this time, the battle outside the field of Sword Tao had ended, and Murong Wuji was looking on at Lyu Liang’s battle with great interest. Mu Xiaozi supported her dying father and listened to what he said.
Lyu Liang’s battle, after the black-robed man had lost his greatest defense barrier, was also in a clear state of victory.
“I’m not reconciled! Tai Su, you haunted old thing! Giving your life soul to such a suckling boy, you should wait to die!” Those were the last words that Xueling Ancestor left behind in the world. After that, he was killed by Lyu Liang’s fierce sword qi.
Then, in the place where Xueling Ancestor disappeared, a golden virtual figure appeared quietly. It was the smiling Tai Su Ancestor Lord.
Lyu Liang went down on one knee and worshipped him, saying “Thank you for your grace in giving me that treasure, so that this junior can kill the enemy so smoothly! But it…”
The illusory figure of Tai Su Ancestor Lord laughed and waved: “All the causes and consequences of things will be explained. After 20 years, you go back to find my original body, and you will get the answer you want. Thank you so much for letting go of my sinful soul that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years. Now I can also go back to my original body!” After that, the figure gradually evaporated, and finally disappeared in the sky.
Lyu Liang got up and shook his head. Since it could not be explained now, it was better to ask the original body of Tai Su Ancestor Lord in the future. There were still twenty years left, so there was still time to make some arrangements.
At the same time, Lyu Liang’s aura also weakened. But to his surprise, his cultivation level stayed at the peak of Void Return stage. After much consideration, he speculated that it had something to do with swallowing that green bead!
At this time, Murong Wuji came over and cupping his hands, said, “Brother Xuanli, I’ve been away from my sect for a long time, and it’s time to go back. If you ever go to Northern Heaven District in the future, you must come to Heaven Bow Sect to see me, and then we brothers will have a good recount of the past! I’ll wait for you!” After that, he cupped his hands again and disappeared in a wisp of smoke.
Lyu Liang turned his eyes to Mu Xiaozi, who flew over. There was also a question in his eyes.
Mu Xiaozi bowed her head and said softly, “Grandpa Patriarch once told me, some of the core clans had shifted together with Heaven-Hell Water, before the tribe was captured. Since then, he has passed on to me the title of tribal patriarch. Just now, my father told me, before his spirit broke up, the place where the people of my clan are now living together. I should take them there to start a new life.”
Lyu Liang gently smiled and said, “You’ve heard that I’ve only have twenty years left. So, let me help you rebuild a new Zitong tribe in this limited period of time.”
Mu Xiaozi’s eyes revealed reluctance and sadness, and she softly said, “Will you be leaving twenty years from now? Where will you go?”
Lyu Liang gently sighed and responded: “Xiaozi, I can tell you to the greatest extent that I do not belong here. I came here to eliminate Xueling Sect within a hundred years. In another twenty years, it will be two hundred years, and I will disappear from this world.”
Mu Xiaozi clenched her lips and said in a quivering voice, “You know how I feel about you, don’t you? Can I see you again?”
Lyu Liang shivered in his heart and thought for a moment. It seemed that he had come to a decision and solemnly said, “Xiaozi, five thousand years later, you and I may meet. At that time, I will tell you the cause and effect of all this, and respect your final choice.”
…………………………
Ten years later, in an alpine area not far from the original site of Zitong tribe, a new sect named Zi Tong Sect emerged. It was Lyu Liang and Mu Xiaozi who jointly founded it.
Originally, Lyu Liang thought that Mu Xiaozi would continue in the the style of the Zitong tribe. Unexpectedly, Xiaozi persevered in establishing a sect. The reason was simple. The core clans she led were the future and hope of Zitong tribe, and all of them were young cultivators. Since they no longer needed to be the guardians of the Brahma Divine Realm, they all wanted to start a new life.
Finally, with the unanimous consent of all, Zitong tribe was renamed Zitong Sect, and the location of Zitong tribe was in a place where it was easy to defend and difficult to come under attack. Meanwhile, Mu Xiaozi got a Taoist name of Zitong Fairy, and served as the founder of Zitong Sect.
Coincidentally, the high mountain here was the place where the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation was. During Lyu Liang’s last ten years here, as the formation spirits, the four big bears had successfully cultivated to the level of fairy immortals. It also marked the fact that Lyu Liang had become the master of Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation. At the same time, the original invisible Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation began to emit a multicolored light. From a distance, it was like a dazzling multicolored barrier.
During this period, Lyu Liang named the bears, Xiong 1, Xiong 2, Xiong 3 and Xiong 4 respectively according to the time when they recovered during their cub period. These four big bears were happy to have their names. However, as soon as they heard that Lyu Liang would be leaving soon, they could not accept it, and cried, wanting to go along with Lyu Liang.
Lyu Liang had a hard time coming to a decision. Take them away? Lyu Liang intended to rely on Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation to serve as a guardian formation of the Zitong Sect. If all the formation spirits were gone, there would be nothing left.
Fortunately, as formation spirits, they could not be too far from the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation. So Lyu Liang consoled them and said, “Let it be that, you will guard the Zitong Sect for me for five thousand years, and then I will surely come back to see you. But then, for some reason, I will surely forget your existence. So all you need to remember is to do what I say now! When I become a fairy immortal, I will surely come back and take you with me!”
Lyu Liang also pondered in his heart that, it would be great if he could bring Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation with him. He had not yet completely refined the Virtual Land, so it could not be taken away. However, the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation had been completely refined and could be taken away naturally. But now for the sake of Zi Tong Sect, it had to be left here.
Lyu Liang also made a secret decision that, if he were promoted to fairy immortal level, he would find a powerful formation to replace the Zitong sect-protecting formation. Only in this way could he fulfill his promise to take the bears away.
Therefore, although the bears were still sad, they followed Lyu Liang’s advice. In the following years, Lyu Liang devoted all his energy to the construction of the Zitong sect-protecting formation.
With the help of the bears, the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation also had two keys. One of the locations was the ancestral temple in the five-storey space where Mu Xiaozi had stayed before. After testing it, Mu Xiaozi was the only one who could enter this space, depending on the blue stone.
As for Heaven-Hell Water, Lyu Liang put it into another layer of space in the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation, which was regarded as a permanent preservation of the Zitong Sect. Meanwhile, he also had the inspiration to carve the whole set of Heaven-burning Sword Formation skills in this layer of space, which merged into the characters of “Five-Element Secret Treasure of Heaven-Hell Water” which he inscribed onto the stone wall.
In the arrangement of the formation keys, the big bears advised that two long swords with spiritual spirit should be used as the materials for the formation keys to take form. Anyone would have heartache if they were asked to donate swords of such magic treasure level as the formation keys. However, Lyu Liang immediately remembered that he had made two wooden swords during the maintenance of Feiling Sword and Gold-thunder Five-dragon Sword. During that period, it was with Lyu Liang for some time and was full of Spiritual Qi and thus, could be used as a low-level magic treasure.
Then, one of the wooden swords was placed in the Xumi space. Meanwhile, not far away, a small wooden house was built and another wooden sword was hung in the house. In this way, the formation keys were formed.
After all this, the foundation of Zi Tong Sect was laid. Shortly after that, there was an uncouth cultivator who thought the newly established Zi Tong Sect was an easy target and wanted to come to extort and rob it. As a result, as long as anyone touched the sect-protecting formation, the four big bears didn’t even need to reveal their faces, and those who had bad intent directly turned into dust.
Five years passed. The mystery of Zi Tong Sect began to spread among the neighboring cultivators. This sect obviously did not even have a fairy immortal, but the sect-protecting formation was so strong. At one time, some people wanted to catch the disciples of Zi Tong Sect and interrogate them about this. As a result, as soon as someone tried, he was killed by a sudden attack of sword qi.
This was naturally done by Lyu Liang. The purpose was very simple: to deter gangsters and the like. While Lyu Liang did this, the Heaven Bow Sect, a powerful force suddenly rising in Northern Heaven District, also spoke out that if anyone tried to act against Zi Tong Sect, it was also considered as an act against Heaven Bow Sect, and all the consequences were at one’s own expense!
With Lyu Liang’s action and the propaganda of Heaven Bow Sect, no one dared to harass the little Zi Tong Sect any more.
“Is it almost time? Black, let’s get ready to leave. Originally, this is the karma that I have to face.” Lyu Liang stood with his hands behind his back and talked softly to Black who was sitting on his shoulders.
“You… are leaving soon? Five thousand years, how will I meet you again?” Mu Xiaozi’s trembling voice came from behind Lyu Liang.
Lyu Liang released a long sigh and looked up: “Xiaozi, five thousand years later, near the place where you and I first met, there will be a young man named Dumb Kid. If your disciple finds him, please take care of him for me. Just arrange for him to live in the wooden house outside the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation. Dumb Kid will stay there for less than two years. After he leaves, you can also leave Zi Tong Sect and come out to find me.”
Mu Xiaozi nodded her head vigorously and finally burst out crying. She asked, “If I don’t leave, will you come back to Zi Tong Sect to see me?”
Lyu Liang’s heart was full of mixed emotions. However, he knew that when he returned to the current world, he would surely look for Shangguan Ying. As for the relationship with Mu Xiaozi, let that be determined by fate.
Thinking of this, Lyu Liang said softly: “Xiaozi, I won’t come back to Zi Tong Sect. I have someone I have to look for, and I also have something I must do. If you still have such feelings, you can come out to look for me. At that time of our meeting, as I said before, I will tell you the cause and effect of all this, and respect your final choice.”
As soon as his voice fell, Lyu Liang’s figure suddenly began to blur. Mu Xiaozi was stunned at first, and then went forward one step, seeming about to grab Lyu Liang from behind.
However, what she touched was only the vague afterimage. Lyu Liang’s body had gradually disappeared between heaven and earth. Only his voice echoed in Mu Xiaozi’s ear: “Xiaozi, Zi Tong Fairy, thank you for your help and care. If the fate favors us, we will meet in five thousand years…”
