Chapter 128: Farewell
Xu Changqing took the jade tablet from Wang Yufan’s hand.
The words Wang Yufan were written on both sides of the jade tablet, and a series of divine auras emanated from it.
"Master, who are you planning to take with you this time?" Xu Changqing asked.
Wang Yufan thought for a moment and said,
"This time, I’m taking Little Black and Li Meng’er with me."
He then turned his head to the Heaven Sword Sect Old Ancestor Zhao Jian and continued, "You old fellow have also reached the Human Immortal Realm. Do you want to leave Heavenly Desolate World and go to a higher plane?"
Zhao Jian nodded upon hearing Wang Yufan’s words, saying,
"The meaning of cultivation for us Cultivators is to climb higher. Since Senior is preparing to leave this place, this old man will also follow Senior to pursue my own dao."
"What you said is not wrong, but you must know that in higher planes, there will be more people with higher cultivation, and the dangers that come with it will always be by your side. It’s possible that you might be killed by someone stronger than you within half a month of going there. Do you still want to go even so?" Wang Yufan asked.
Zhao Jian pondered for a while after hearing Wang Yufan’s words. He understood the reasoning; after all, he had lived for many years and was not some naive young lad who had just entered the cultivation world.
"Thank you for informing me, Senior. This old man understands everything. My mind is made up, so please, Senior, take me to a higher plane with you," Zhao Jian said.
Wang Yufan said, "Alright, I won’t try to persuade you anymore. This is your own decision. However, from now on, you should also call me Young Master. I’m a bit unaccustomed to you calling me Senior like that."
"Master, where has Li Meng’er gone? I haven’t seen her these past few days," Xu Changqing asked.
Wang Yufan smiled and said, "She’s throwing a little tantrum. It’s nothing. If I’m not mistaken, she should be arriving soon."
Just as Wang Yufan finished speaking, a clear female voice came from the main hall door of the Heaven Sword Sect.
"Who’s throwing a little tantrum? You’re the one who tricked me, hmph."
The person who arrived was precisely Li Meng’er, wearing a ghost-face mask.
"It’s good that you’re back. I didn’t trick you," Wang Yufan said with a smile to Li Meng’er.
Xu Changqing and Zhao Jian, who was beside him, looked on in confusion. What exactly was going on?
Just as Li Meng’er was about to say something more, Wang Yufan reached out and stopped her.
"Alright, that’s enough. Hurry up and pack your things. We’re leaving early tomorrow morning," Wang Yufan said.
Li Meng’er had already heard Wang Yufan talk about leaving Heavenly Desolate World when she entered, so she nodded. She might never be able to return to Heavenly Desolate World after this, so Li Meng’er wanted to ask Wang Yufan later if she could visit Lingcha Inn in the Lower Domain of Heavenly Desolate World one last time before they left.
Wang Yufan glanced at Li Meng’er, knowing her thoughts perfectly clear. Well, it wouldn’t hurt to let her indulge in a moment of nostalgia.
Thinking about himself, he was still alone.
After Wang Yufan continued to discuss some matters with Xu Changqing, he also returned to his room with Little Black.
In Wang Yufan’s room, Wang Yufan looked at Little Black and said, "Little black, do you want to go to the plane you belong to?"
Little Black, who was originally sleeping, immediately opened his eyes upon hearing Wang Yufan’s words.
"Master, did you just say that? Do I want to go to my plane?" Little Black transmitted via divine sense.
"Yes, that’s right," Wang Yufan replied.
Upon hearing his master’s reply, Little black’s mind was also in a great struggle. It was impossible for him not to want to go back, even though he had stayed in this Heavenly Desolate World for thousands of years. He really wanted to go back and see if the brother who once betrayed him was still there, and if he had already ascended to the immortal path. He also really wanted revenge.
"Master, I want to go back. I want to go back and see. Can we go back?" Little Black transmitted.
Wang Yufan smiled and said,
"Yes, I can go anywhere I want in All Heavens and Myriad Realms. It shouldn’t be difficult for me; I just need to pinpoint your plane.
What was your plane called again?" Wang Yufan asked.
"To answer Master, the plane I belong to is called Spirit Beast Realm, and I am from the Profound Beast Domain of Spirit Beast Realm."
After Little Black finished speaking, Wang Yufan spread his right hand, and a miniature starry sky appeared in his palm.
Wang Yufan transmitted an intent according to the Spirit Beast Realm that Little Black mentioned. A certain spot in the starry sky in his hand suddenly lit up with a burst of light.
And the Heavenly Desolate World where they were currently located was several planes away from this Spirit Beast Realm.
However, this was not an issue for Wang Yufan at all. With his current cultivation, he could reach it directly without having to pass through several planes.
"Alright, I know the location now. We’ll go to your realm tomorrow. If you don’t want to follow me then, you can stay in your realm," Wang Yufan said.
"No, Master, Little Black’s life was saved by you. In this life, I have long recognized you as my master. I will always follow you. As for the Spirit Beast Realm, it’s just a knot in my heart. Once I deal with it, I will have no more worries," Little Black replied.
Wang Yufan nodded, agreeing with what Little Black said. On the other side, Li Meng’er had already returned to the Lower Domain of Heavenly Desolate World with the help of the Heaven Sword Sect Old Ancestor.
At this moment, her figure continuously moved through space, and she saw a huge ghost-faced inn located on the border of Central Spirit State. This was her headquarters. There were branches in several other domains.
Watching the familiar people coming and going inside, she felt very close to them. She watched for about an hour. She didn’t go in. Just as she turned to leave, she bumped into a young man in white.
Although the collision didn’t hurt, it startled her greatly that someone could appear beside her so silently without her noticing.
Li Meng’er looked up and saw that the person who arrived was Wang Yufan.
Wang Yufan smiled as he looked at Li Meng’er and said.
"What, you’re about to leave this realm, and you’re not going to take a look at the place you once stayed?"
Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, Li Meng’er shook her head and said,
"No, it’s precisely because I’m leaving that I don’t want to say goodbye to them, to avoid adding to the pain of separation. When I have the strength in the future, won’t I be able to come back down? Perhaps if I were to fall on this journey, wouldn’t they be sad? It’s better to let them not know and slowly forget me, don’t you think?"
"Hmm, what you said isn’t wrong. Then you’ll have to work hard. The path of cultivation isn’t that simple. Although it’s like eating and drinking for me, for you, it’s a bit difficult," Wang Yufan said with a smile.
"Hmph, I know you’re amazing, alright? But I will work hard. No matter how much hardship or injury lies ahead, I believe I can definitely break through and achieve the dao I’ve always dreamed of," Li Meng’er said.
Looking at Li Meng’er’s somewhat serious words, Wang Yufan thought to himself that some things don’t succeed just by having a dream; one also needs opportunities.
