Chapter 180 Like a Dream
“Come down. Let me sit there!” Inside the Heaven Prestige Fortress, Liu Jiawen gazed curiously at Lyu Liang, who was sitting in the chair, surrounded by a layer of white light. Her eyes were sparkling with excitement.
“Eh, not now. This seat is connecting with my Divine Soul. If I leave, we will fall directly. When we arrive at our destination, you can sit here as much as you want!” Lyu Liang’s explanation made Liu Jiawen roll her eyes, continuously.
“You are mean! But, are you saying that you are the only one who is able to control this big thing? Besides, the size is much smaller than before!” Liu Jiawen rolled her eyes and brought up a new question.
“In principle, I’m the only one who can control it. And other people also can do it only after they get my approval. The size, right now, is just right for me to control. If it gets bigger, it will need much more Primordial Qi. And I need to regain my strength before we arrive at our destination. As it is, this thing is so big that I can’t store it inside the storage space or take it along with me to the cave residence. That’s really bad!” Lyu Liang felt quite helpless at this moment.
It had been three days since they left the civilization remains. The location they appeared at, was rather weird. It was quite different from where they were before. They finally made it to Jibo Territory.
There were two things that made Lyu Liang feel extremely frustrated. One was that the big fortress couldn’t be stored away and it could only go forward at an extremely slow speed. This happened only during the period of Gold Core.
The other thing was that the divine beasts and Fatty, seemed to have vanished without any trace. He was already out of the historical remains, but still could not feel their auras at all. Anyway, he had to head to the main battlefield first.
Three days passed. Lyu Liang and Liu Jiawen finally arrived at the periphery of the main battlefield, and were soon discovered by their buddies on patrol.
When they showed up from inside the fortress, all the people there exclaimed in surprise, and were really joyful!
Although the size of the Heaven Prestige Fortress was smaller than the original one, the actual muzzles there, gave off a terrible sense of depression.
The founding father of Sword Character and Xuan Nyu Fairy, came out to greet them first. Other leaders of the Immortal Allies followed behind. Seeing the Heaven Prestige Fortress that Lyu Liang had brought back, they were all smiling happily.
These people were powerful figures, who were experienced and knowledgeable. They knew that the appearance of the fortress, was formed by Lyu Liang, after restraining himself. Its actual force would actually increase several times over.
The first thing Lyu Liang did after seeing everybody, was to introduce the formidable functions of the Heaven Prestige Fortress. Meanwhile, he also showed the actual shape and size of the fortress, which made everyone gasp, on the spot.
There were one thousand Cannons on the fortress. If all these Cannons shot Primordial Qi bombs at the same time, the cost of the Primordial Qi would be beyond one person’s capability.
So generally, the way to do it was to gather up a bunch of people to transmit Primordial Qi into the crystal nucleus, in the center of the fortress. During a battle, Lyu Liang would be the one to control the attacking force of the fortress.
The Immortal Allies thought it was quite simple. They stopped their work right away and instantly gathered the people to transmit Primordial Qi into the fortress. In the end, the fortress was fully charged with the Qi of nearly fifty cultivators, ranked at Almighty Immortal.
Five days later, the Immortal Allies were ready and started their attack. In a surprise move, Lyu Liang did not show at the beginning of the battle. When the opposite side set forth dozens of Cannons, an enormous fortress of nearly six hundred feet in size, suddenly appeared. One hundred Cannons fired shots all at the same time, and the opposite camp along with numerous black-robed people, were wiped out in an instant.
This created quite a stir in the camp of the Nether Big World. Lyu Liang was clearly the center of attention after he came back. Anyway, there was nothing he could do about it. And some spy from the opposite side had already reported about the huge fortress, which attracted great attention among the enemies.
But at that time Lyu Liang had purposely reduced the size of the fortress. In addition, the aura in it was insufficient, so its deterrent force looked quite limited, when viewed from a distance.
When the battle reached a life and death stage, Lyu Liang suddenly brought out such an attack. The enemies immediately lost their fighting intent and withdrew their army quickly.
Lyu Liang was undoubtedly welcomed back to his own camp, as a hero. This time, all the people held him in the highest esteem. The deterrent force of the Heaven Prestige Fortress was completely beyond people’s understanding. With this sort of fight, people believed that the battle would come to an end, anytime soon!
Compared with the excitement and joy in Chaotic World, the Nether Big World was obviously full of anxiety and sadness. The several elites in the camp had brainstormed for nearly one month already, and still failed to figure out how to deal with such a monstrous weapon.
Based on the report from the spies that had sneaked into the enemy lines, this thing seemed to heed Lyu Liang’s instructions only. Thus, they had to kill Lyu Liang without anyone knowing it, or there was no need to fight anymore.
Therefore, how to kill or assassinate Lyu Liang became the number one task in the Nether Big World. However, Lyu Liang never came out and rested at the center of the Immortal Allies every day. Though a few plans had already made, they came to nothing in the end.
A month later, the Immortal Allies finally gathered all the forces and launched a general offensive on the Nether Big World.
Lyu Liang maximized the use of the Heaven Prestige Fortress to its fullest potential and discharged a volley of one thousand Cannons. Even the Great Defense Formation in the opposite side, completely vanished in this volley of fire.
From now on, the battle became a one-sided situation, striking the defeated army mercilessly from an originally overwhelming condition. After breaking the big camp, the shape of the Heaven Prestige Fortress shrunk into one at a height of more than one hundred feet, swiftly. And then, it started issuing single shots.
Lyu Liang was aware that shooting randomly in this situation could hurt many people on his side as well, though a large number of the enemies would probably perish. Therefore, he started assisting the others, as they were fighting.
His goal was very clear. He was after the powerful figures on the opposite side! He spotted the people who had powerful magic treasures and weird moves and sent messages to his people first, reminding them to hide. Then he fired two shots. Being killed by an explosion saved them some trouble. If they were merely injured, his people would go up and give them the final blow.
After doing this time and again, this battle ended with the Chaotic World making a clean sweep. And the opposite side lost many powerful figures, which rendered them helpless, unable to continue to fight, and they had to retreat to the Nether Big World, successively. It could be said that one fight set the situation!
Another month passed. The people from the Nether Big World had already withdrawn completely. The Chaotic World regained its vigor and peace.
Lyu Liang’s fantastic performance was well-known to everyone! Even some powerful figures from the Heaven Realm expressed their admiration for Lyu Liang, by entrusting somebody or directly coming down with a Divided Soul. There were also many people offering him tempting terms directly.
The Heaven Prestige Fortress was also a hot item to see for each and everyone, including Rogue Cultivators, powerful figures, etc. Lyu Liang currently kept the central crystal nucleus and turned off all the functions of the fortress. The fortress became a huge decorative article for people to enjoy viewing, at the center of the Immortal Allies.
By now, Lyu Liang and Liu Jiawen were already on the road to the historical remains of Breeze Valley. As it had been only more than half a year since they entered the historical remains, other people were still inside.
Worrying about Zhu Yu, they decided to check it out.
“Aren’t you bringing the Heaven Prestige Fortress? You’re giving up such a powerful weapon? The Heaven Realm has allowed you to move up a level without even experiencing the ordeal. Don’t you ever think about it?” Liu Jiawen looked at Lyu Liang curiously. It was hard for her to believe that he could deal with these things so calmly.
“Haha. That kind of fortress is used as a deterrence only. I don’t want to rely on it at all. I will go to the Heaven Realm, at some point in time. But I’m not in the mood, until my businesses here have been settled. Now the most important thing is just to help brother Zhu master the Tai-Ah Sword!” Lyu Liang smiled lightly, as if those glories meant nothing to him.
Three days later, they arrived at the Breeze Valley. Before they entered, they heard a loud sound. Moments later, the figure of Zhu Yu was revealed. He held an ancient long knife in his hand, and was laughing proudly It seemed that Lyu Liang need not worry about him anymore, as he had already mastered the knife skills.
Since they were in the Wufang Territory, they had to go back to the Lyu family home. The respect and treatment Lyu Liang received here, made him blush tremendously, as even his grandfather treated him as if he were a God.
Lyu Liang, by now, had already become a renowned leader. Whoever met him, showed him due respect.
Countless praise and opportunities came to him, but Lyu Liang rejected them all. He stayed with his father in the Lyu family premises, wholeheartedly.
Time flew by Half a year later, several other people appeared in the historical remains, in succession. Lyu Liang and Liu Jiawen went to meet them. And then there would be a big party. But at this time, Lyu Liang started to smile less and was always staring blankly at the sky.
Then another five years passed. Zhu Yu found the Tai-Ah Sword with the help of everyone. and gathered up the six Million-Spirits Blood Pearls along the way. It was time for him to go to the Nether Big World. It was then that Lyu Liang started to recover his spirits.
In this Alien Land, Lyu Liang’s name was also known to all. The old guys in the Dark Reign admired the functions of the Heaven Prestige Fortress, so they voluntarily showed him their good will. They seemed to know about the relationship between him, Yang Ying and Wen Ying, and released all their clansmen, without wasting any time. Lyu Liang arranged for these clansmen to live in the Chaotic World.
When facing his Master, Lyu Liang and Zhu Yu worked together to subdue the insane Dreamless Heavenly Lord, using a lot of effort. They finally obtained the Mind Condensing Wand that they had always been dreaming about.
Later, Dreamless Heavenly Lord also recovered his senses, with the help of several powerful figures and returned back to the Virtual Land, where he lived in the Cenotaph, with Xuanli Feiwu.
After one thousand years had passed, Zhu Yu’s battle companions, Lyu Liang’s mother and Xuanli Feiwu, came back to life again, by utilizing the functions of the Mind Condensing Wand. The people here were all very happy now.
When Lyu Liang’s mother came back to life, he burst into tears. Then he stopped what he was doing and brought his mother back to the Lyu family in Surabaya, where they renewed their life with his father, who had been waiting for this moment, for so long.
Since Lyu Liren came back to Lyu family, his life span had been greatly prolonged with the help of ultimate-grade medicinal pills. Now he was able to live for tens of thousands of years longer.
After settling his mother, Lyu Liang started to live like a hermit and ignored the outside world from then. He cultivated himself or accompanied his parents every day.
During this period, countless powerful figures had hoped to recruit Lyu Liang. Some of them even offered to let him be a governor in one area, but all their offers were rejected by Lyu Liang. The one thing he agreed to was making a deal with Zhu Yu to go back to the Heaven Realm after accumulating enough strength for claiming justice, as well as getting the Eternal Heaven Fire.
Lyu Liren and Xuanli Yue died successively, after about 30,000 years. In the site where his parents first met, Lyu Liang chose a beautiful intramountainous place, that had a small bridge spanning a flowing stream. He set up tombs for his parents and built a small house separately, where he lived in, since then.
Another 20,000 years passed. Lyu Liang’s cultivation was completely unclear to other people now. When he went to the Heaven Realm with Zhu Yu and other people, he also exposed the conspiracy of Night Dragon God Ancestor, without any difficulty, causing a bunch of guilty men to get their deserved punishments.
Over the 50,000 years, Lyu Liang only smiled in front of his parents. But when Lyu Liang obtained the Eternal Heaven Fire, he finally became excited again.
Shangguan Ying’s ice sculpture had been stored away in his arms earlier. Right now, the only thing that was required, was to melt it with the Eternal Heaven Fire.
Under the small bridge over the flowing stream, Shangguan Ying was restored as before, inside the small house, while Lyu Liang held her tightly. There were no tears of excitement, which had been expected, instead he just murmured in a choked voice, as if he was talking to himself and seemed to be asking her, “My dear Ying’er, when are we really going to have a free and easy life together, wherein even the immortals would envy us?”
When Lyu Liang finished speaking, Shangguan Ying who was lying in his arms, raised her head, and her face was covered in tears. She held Lyu Liang’s face and said in a soft voice, “You are really great! I believe one day, your dream will come true again!”
At this moment, all the scenes around Lyu Liang started to vibrate and vanish like ripples, while Shangguan Ying in his arms, though her eyes were full of unwillingness to be separated, also vanished into the air, shortly.
Copious tears finally rained down from Lyu Liang’s eyes. He murmured, “How good if these were all true…”
