Chapter 599 - 599 122 Farewell
599: Chapter 122: Farewell 599: Chapter 122: Farewell The border between Yuan Province and Yu State, due to perennial drought, is barren of vegetation.
Great winds blow, sending desert sands flying.
The portal of the Fire Sect emerges amidst the yellow sand.
The previous Taoyuan Village was not really a place for conversation.
A large number of Yuanzhou Iron Cavalry, following orders, were surrounding the area.
Although Chen Chong had lost consciousness and Meng Kejian’s life and Tao had vanished, the Iron Cavalry still had Du Yunzhong in command at the rear.
Once Nalan Xuance realized something was wrong, it would not be easy to leave anymore.
“Boom boom boom…”
The Fire Master stepped out of the portal, waving his sleeves to scatter the sand in the sky.
Flames twisted around, creating a domain of purity.
“There is not much I can do.
Now that I’ve brought you two here, the rest of the journey will be yours to take.”
“Head south from here, and after a little over two hundred miles, you can return to Qu River.”
The Fire Master said: “To return to Fan Yin Temple might be a bit farther, continue traveling east, crossing three great provinces…
However, Chen Chong has not yet awakened, and the intelligence of Yu State’s Iron Cavalry is unclear.
With Brother Miao Zhen’s skills, concealing your name and aura, this leg of the journey shouldn’t be too difficult.”
“Thank you for your assistance.”
Miao Zhen, holding Mi Yun, slowly stepped out of the portal.
He looked at the yellow sand in front of him with a somewhat dazed expression, while the little monk in his arms was fast asleep.
This mission was finally coming to an end.
Breaking the siege at Qixia Mountain.
The troubles that followed would be much less.
Miao Zhen turned back and asked seriously, “Brother Xie, is it convenient for you to return to Chu Country from here?”
Xie Xuanyi followed behind him, stepping out of the portal, and looked at the vast desert in front of him, calmly saying, “Don’t worry about me.”
In his past life.
He had roamed the Four Realms alone with his sword.
The map between the two dynasties, Great Chu and Jun Mountain, was etched in his memory.
“…”
Miao Zhen smiled silently.
Indeed.
Compared to Xie Xuanyi, he should be more worried about himself…
In this meeting, he noticed the difference in Xie Xuanyi’s aura.
Xie Xuanyi had broken through and advanced to the Yin God Realm!
But unlike his own “forced breakthrough,” this young man had perfected his comprehension of the Principle of Life before making the breakthrough.
Miao Zhen looked at the young man in black robes in front of him with complex eyes.
Even though he was a Buddhist cultivator, he was of a resolute nature, obsessed with martial arts.
This journey to the west, he had intended to experience the methods of the young talents of Great Chu, then have a final showdown with Jun Mountain.
But now it seemed…
He didn’t need to do that anymore.
This era was no longer his to dominate.
Having reached the Life and Death Condensing Realm, the Divine Embryo concealed within.
Miao Zhen knew that the current Xie Xuanyi had already crossed the hardest “ravine.” Even the Reincarnated True People would feel inferior to his cultivation realm.
After years of decline, Da Sui Sword Palace was finally about to see a day when its fortune surged.
“This young man will have to trouble Little Xie Mountain Master.”
The Fire Master, looking toward the portal and vigilantly scanning the surroundings, couldn’t help but telepathically ask while struggling to carry the heavy umbrella sword and Chu Guo: “Does the little fellow know his own lineage yet?”
“He does not.”
Xie Xuanyi shook his head: “However, with his talents, he will probably guess it soon.”
“After all, he is the descendant of Chu Country’s Dragon Vein.”
The Fire Master exclaimed, “The ‘Sealing’ that Yan Xin left in his Divine Soul will probably be lifted soon.
Over the years, I often visited Pingzhi City, and Chen Jingxuan asked me not to disturb his life, so I watched from a distance, never intervening…
The child is fortunate, loved and cherished.
If he stayed in Chu Country, his life might not even be guaranteed.”
Upon saying this, the Fire Master sensed that Xie Xuanyi’s expression seemed a bit off.
Xie Xuanyi spoke faintly, asking: “Was it you who sent Chu Guo to the ancestral house in Pingzhi City years ago?
Why did you choose that place?”
“Why do you ask?”
The Fire Master was somewhat bewildered.
The Fire Master faintly seemed to understand some reasons – when his Divine Thought descended upon Taoyuan Village, he saw many wooden tablets.
“Sending Chu Guo to the border was the idea of Teacher Yan Xin.”
The Fire Master quickly explained: “I was only responsible for taking the person to the location marked on the map…
What happened afterwards has nothing to do with me.
Teacher Yan Xin told me that Chu Guo needed time to grow, and by the time he returns to Chu Country, the court situation will be even more severe than before.
Some truths cannot be taught by the Book Tower, only time can teach.
Separation and death, these are inevitable experiences.”
The Fire Master misunderstood his meaning.
Xie Xuanyi originally wanted to explain, but as the thought arose, he let it fall again.
Clearly.
The Fire Master was not aware of the role “Lu Yuzhen” played in Chu Guo’s growth.
He sighed lightly, and glossed over: “I will send Chu Guo back to Chu Realm…
Has the Book Tower chosen a safe location?”
“Qian San in Qu River is responsible for guiding.
As long as he returns to Chu Realm, there is no need to worry about what follows.”
The Fire Master said in a deep voice: “The current Chen Jingxuan is not the same as before, Little Xie Mountain Master is responsible for bringing Chu Guo back to the border, and the Book Tower is in charge of arranging the destination.”
“Good.”
Xie Xuanyi nodded, not saying anything further.
“The two of you…”
The Fire Master sent everyone to the desert, intending not to stay any longer.
His identity was special, and revealing himself this time, even without showing his face, would raise many suspicions.
A fierce fire ignited amidst the rough yellow sand.
The Fire Master gave a fist and palm salute, speaking softly: “I still have urgent matters to attend to and must leave first.
The journey back is extremely difficult, both of you please take care.”
Miao Zhen returned the salute.
Xie Xuanyi simply nodded.
The red blaze dissipated in the desert, and the fire portal was reduced to ashes.
When the Fire Master left, he didn’t forget to erase all traces and scents of his crossing through the void along the way.
…
…
The young lad Chu Guo crouched atop a desert dune, with a worried expression, holding an umbrella, shielding against the crackling sand and dust.
“It’s not a life or death separation, is there a need to talk for so long?”
The young lad also had a stalk of wild grass in his mouth.
He looked not far away.
A figure in black robes and a monk’s robe made a rustling sound amidst the yellow sands of the desert, fluttering wildly.
After the Fire Master left.
Xie Xuanyi did not part with Miao Zhen right away.
Having seen the remnants of Fa Cheng’s thoughts, Xie Xuanyi had some questions he wanted to ask Miao Zhen in person, but these words were not suitable to be said in front of Deng Baiyi and Chu Guo.
“Donor Xie, congratulations.”
The two went to a distant part of the desert.
Miao Zhen took the initiative to speak, looking at Xie Xuanyi with a sincere expression: “Perfect Divine Embryo, Life and Death all condensed.
Even though I have cultivated for two lifetimes, I have never seen a talent as overflowing as yours.”
In this life upon awakening, he heard the world’s praises of Xie Xuanyi and initially felt some disdain.
Now, that disdain has gradually dissipated, turning into respect.
Xie Xuanyi shook his head, not taking it seriously.
He spoke lightly: “One part stubbornness, one part luck, and one part made by chance.”
Life and Death Condensing Realm, certifying the Divine Embryo, indeed involved a lot of luck.
If, during the battle at Qixia Mountain, Meng Kejian had not suppressed the “Rule of Destruction,” he would have, like Miao Zhen, forcibly made a Breakthrough for survival.
In that case.
This unprecedented advancement to the Yin God realm would no longer exist.
