Chapter 307 Where The Heart Belonged
Although Lyu Liang had never heard of Peaceful Land, and he did not know who this old man was, he knew he was in a land of opportunity based on White’s respectful attitude. The place was beyond his knowledge.
“Fairy sister, thank you for healing me earlier, and I also want to thank those seniors whose names I do not know!” Lyu Liang respectfully bowed toward the girl behind the old man.
“I am just following my husband’s instructions, thank him if you want.” This time, she was just a gorgeous girl, and even her voice sounded alluring, “The others only treated you because of my husband. Yellow, come here.”
The big yellow dog happened to enter the door. It shivered at the sound of her voice, and dared not look at her. Lyu Liang shivered too. He had never seen someone change so fast and so wholly…
“Yellow, take a look, which is the kid in here?” When the old man waved his hand, the stone egg originally in Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation emerged. The big yellow dog ran up and sniffed it.
“Why is your head bald again?” The old man casually asked, and the big yellow dog shivered once again.
“I accidentally cut it when I fought with Cow two days ago!” The big yellow dog answered with certainty. Lyu Liang instantly understood that the previous scene was not the first time the dog answered so deftly!
The girl bent down and gently stroked the bald head of the big yellow dog, and laughed. “Yellow, you can fight, but be careful!” “You know how precious your fur is, so you better be careful with it.” “Also, if anyone hurts you in future, I will cut off his leg and cook it for you!”
At this moment, Lyu Liang pitied the big yellow dog. The resentment that he had against the dog for eating his body, disappeared.
“Ancestor, it’s the Frost Wings!” Although the dog’s body was still shivering, it said in surprise, “It’s them, how wonderful!”
When the old man and the girl heard these words, their eyes brightened as if they were surprised by this result too.
“Good!” “Good!” “Very good!” “Frost Wing also has his descendants!” The old man clapped and smiled, “Kid, shall we make a deal?”
“Senior, stop kidding!” “If you need this stone egg, I will present it to you!” “Come on, with the help that he received, how could he have the qualification to deal with him? Lyu Liang knew his stand.
But the old man shook his head firmly, and his face turned solemn. “I know that you want to repay my kindness, but you may not know what this stone egg means to some of us here, even if it seems meaningless to you!” “Fairness is the key, when dealing with matters.” “Though you do not know it, but I know, so I can’t take advantage of you!”
“Then, senior, thank you!” Lyu Liang cupped his hands respectfully and then hesitated, “In fact, this stone egg is not mine. I have a secret realm with an array immortal inside…”
“Oh, silly boy, my husband has already discussed with the big fat boy!” The girl with the scorpion tail interrupted, “He sent this stone egg!”
Lyu Liang was stunned and speechless. He tried to feel and found that inside the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation, the arrogant array immortal was like a child looking up to the elders, his face was full of admiration and longing.
“Hehe, it is not easy for an array immortal to grow up. This Divine Egg does have auxiliary effects, but it is wasted!” “Rest assured. I have given him enough exchange terms to make up for it. Next, it is your turn.” The old man grinned and waved his hand. The Linden rush cushion emerged from Lyu Liang, and it began to emit a kind of cyan shimmer that had never been seen before.
“This is, if the senior needs it, please take it!” Lyu Liang could decide for this one, so he bowed respectfully.
“Haha, kid, you treat magic treasures like dirt!” “It’s good that you are not moved by such objects, even at such a young age. Very good, indeed!” The old man nodded with approval, as he reminisced. He said gently, “When the green lotus was born, the seven accompanying leaves turned into futons.” “Your futon is one of them, the universe rush cushion.” “It was in a semi-sealed state, and now I will help you to unseal it, and that will be a repayment of your kindness to return the Divine Egg.”
“Kid, be grateful!” “Previously, this rush cushion can double your speed of cultivation, and now it will be four times faster. Also, every thousand years, it will condense a trace of Heaven-Born Purple Qi. It is a bit early for you to know this effect, let’s talk about it later.” White explained with excitement.
Lyu Liang had no idea about the Heaven-Born Purple Qi, but he understood about the four times higher cultivation speed, so he thanked the old man profusely, again.
“Okay, for the last part of my repayment, I can’t give it to you now.” “If you can get through, if I tell you, if you continue your journey of purpose, you may encounter the most serious death in this life. You may die on your journey, even so, will you persist?” The old man changed the topic, and asked an unexpected question.
Lyu Liang did not hesitate and nodded immediately, “I must go!” “Moreover, as long as there is a chance, I will try to survive!” “I have other important things yet to be completed. I can’t die so early!”
Looking at Lyu Liang’s firm look, the old man smiled and nodded, “Fine!” “Yellow, give it to him!”
“Kid, I should have bitten more of you. The taste of a Divine Body is so not the same. If the big sister, oh, I will give it to you!” “Quickly integrate into your Divine Soul; this is the medium for you to come back!” The big yellow dog muttered reluctantly. Suddenly it felt a thorough killing intention, it shivered, and lights flashed, and its original furry tail turned completely bald…
“Eh?” “Why did you give him so much? He can’t use them now.” The old man seemed to be puzzled, but Lyu Liang understood it. “If I saw the girl’s fierce expression as if it wanted to kill someone, I will probably do the same as the dog.”
Lyu Liang was concerned about the big dog’s words, ‘returning later’ because this place was obviously unusual, and he still had a chance to come back?
Before he could ask, the old man spoke again. He was no longer casual, and turned solemn instead, “Oh friend, integrate these strands of yellow fur into your Divine Soul.” “If you have a courageous heart after experiencing the aftermath, then go to the place that leads you here again. Then, we will have a chance to meet again.” “Now, you should leave.” “At the same time, you will temporarily forget everything here…”
“What?” “If I have forgotten, how can I get back here?” The mysterious opportunity here enticed Lyu Liang to find out more. But if he forgot everything when he went out, he would not recall this place, even if he had the dog’s fur as guidance.
“Leave now. When you understand the true meaning of the Death Test, you will recall everything here. Then you shall come back and refine your heart…” With the old man’s words, Lyu Liang suddenly felt dizzy. In his last consciousness, he vaguely heard the other party’s words, “This is the biggest Death Test for the first half of your life, not only will your body die, but also your heart…”
White looked at Lyu Liang’s body disappearing. He bowed respectfully to the old man as well, and disappeared.
The Swallowing Spirit that had not shown earlier, appeared with a group of Spirit Swallowing Bugs that were much bigger, and a large mushroom soul with a few more tentacles. They made a bow to the old man and disappeared too.
“He, seems to be like you…” The woman with the scorpion tail stood quietly beside the old man, and seemed a little hesitant.
The old man nodded slightly, “Yes, looking at him, it seems like the shadow of a younger me. Scorpion and Yellow, you suffered due to following me…”
“Hey!” “Boss, what are you saying!” “How free it is here!” “If I want to fight, I have a playmate who has the same strength. If I am bored, I can go to the mortal world to experience life. It is much better than my life as a mountain king!” For once, the big yellow dog explained formally.
The girl also lifted the old man’s arm and said softly, “With you, there is no suffering.” “I get a headache whenever I think of those people fighting over a stupid book!”
“The Canon of Wildness, I don’t know if I had made the right choice, and left such a mess. Argh!” “If you miss the five guys, go and see them. The fateful battle is around the corner, besides the honest Ku Wu, the other four will probably fight among themselves!” The old man sounded sad, and a trace of pain flashed over his face.
The girl saw that and held his arm tighter, whispering, “It is not your fault. If there is no Canon, maybe the world will still be a dark and chaotic generation!” “It’s us who did not play our roles back then…”
“Silly girl. The sin that caused the commotion was greed. Absolute power comes with pure desire!” “Absolute power with an evil heart, never mind, forget it, and don’t think about it. After all, I don’t want to interfere with the matter, after being in seclusion for such a long time!” The old man patted the girl’s hand and said to the big dog at the same time, “Yellow, inform the others and trigger the Meritorious Golden Lotus.” “I have a hunch, Purifying Green Lotus, Red Lotus of Hellfire, and Mie Shi Black Lotus will appear soon, and our pure land had better stay out of them!”
The big yellow dog frowned and said, “Even if it is protected, our Pure Land may be exposed after some time. If there are people from outside, how should we deal with them?” As it said these words, it emitted a strange murderous aura.
“You are already reacting like this. What else do you need me to say?” The old man grinned and was no longer casual. His eyes became sharp and he said, “I don’t want to interfere, but people came looking for me.” “What a big commotion! My old friend, are you making your move again after so long?” “If you want to test my reaction, then I will not let you down!” “I just hope you will not forget the vows that we made…”
“Why did you throw the silly boy directly outside the crack?” “With his feelings for that person, isn’t it, oh!” “You did it on purpose!” The girl with the scorpion tail pondered, and then realized something. Then she shook her head and sighed, “Oh, although he is a playboy, he is a faithful one. I hope he can bear with the outcome…”
“Do not worry, Tai Chu is good at judging people like me. If we both like the kid, he should be fine!” The old man patted the girl’s hand, and his eyes drifted to the far side. “Since he will experience it sooner or later, it is better to do it as soon as possible.” “The two parties have waited a long time for the moment of law change!” “My old friend has always liked to strategies thousands of miles away. This time, let’s add an uncertain factor into his long-prepared plan!”
