Chapter 567: Yun Shu Yue's Closeness

After resolving Fusang, Lu Xun turned his attention again to the development of Lan Xing.

Of course, he actually spent most of his time just lazing around.

Since he didn't need to cultivate himself, Lu Xun had too much time on his hands.

He spent most of his time lazing around, and occasionally went to handle other matters.

Then, every so often, he would spend some intimate time with his women.

"We're about to catch up to Asterla Star."

Over a dozen years passed, and Lan Xing drew ever closer to Asterla Star.

As long as they catch up to Asterla Star, they can join its fleet.

The group of spirit stars where Asterla Star resides is far stronger than the previous Lan Xing; it's probably already a second‑class spirit star.

In fact, Lan Xing now counts as a second‑class spirit star.

It just hasn't reached the Tenth Realm yet.

"Shu Yue should be done soon, right?"

Lu Xun thought.

After Yun Shu Yue returned with him to Lan Xing, she settled down there.

She has already passed the Four Declines of the Heavenly Human; if she passes the Heart Decline once more, she can break through to the Tenth Realm.

This decline isn't that easy.

In the East, there is also a tribulation‑transcending cultivator facing a heart decline.

That is, the elder from the Qingyun family whom Lu Xun saved on Yao Xing.

When the Skeleton Angel first came, the other side had also made a move.

He had already been undergoing the Heart Decline over twenty years ago.

Until now, there has been no news of success.

If he had succeeded, he would have already broken through to the Tenth Realm.

The Five Declines of the Heavenly Human can be passed quickly or slowly.

As for Yun Shu Yue, after settling down on Lan Xing, she began to undergo the Heart Decline.

Even until now, there is still no news.

A few years ago, Lu Xun went to see her and gave her an immortal‑grade elixir that aids in transcending tribulation.

Although this elixir is only eighth‑grade immortal, being immortal‑grade, it will still be of considerable help to Yun Shu Yue.

If nothing unexpected happens,

Yun Shu Yue should succeed soon.

"Shu Yue is looking for me?"

Unexpectedly,

A few days later, Yun Shu Yue actively sought out Lu Xun.

She wanted to see Lu Xun.

"Shu Yue."

Lu Xun naturally wouldn't refuse to see her.

Over a dozen years passed, and Yun Shu Yue's appearance changed little.

She has lived for several thousand years, and as a Nine‑Realm immortal cultivator, time finds it hard to leave traces on her.

Even after another thousand years, she will still look as she did, like a young maiden.

"Lu Xun, can you accompany me for a walk?"

Yun Shu Yue lifted her gaze, her eyes like autumn water flowing, her voice soft as the wind.

Lu Xun blinked in surprise.

Accompany her for a walk?

"Of course, Shu Yue."

Although Lu Xun didn't know what medicine Yun Shu Yue was selling from her gourd, he still agreed.

So the two of them began to stroll together down the street.

Lu Xun deliberately cast a little spell to make people overlook his and Yun Shu Yue's presence.

Otherwise, given his status, this walk wouldn't be able to proceed peacefully.

For Yun Shu Yue, this was still the first time she had ever taken such an aimless stroll through a city street with someone.

In her era, however, civilization was relatively backward.

To her, this era feels completely fresh.

But today, Yun Shu Yue's thoughts are not in this bustling city.

They are on Lu Xun instead.

She actively struck up a conversation with Lu Xun.

They talked about many things from her era.

This let Lu Xun learn a few things.

For example, although ancient Lan Xing was not in a nebula, it still possessed dark energy, though not as dense as that in a nebula.

Based on this, perhaps the universe once contained some free‑floating dark energy.

It was merely a matter of more or less.

Then, for some unknown reason, the free‑floating dark energy in the universe has been dwindling.

This forced Yun Shu Yue's father to take the Starry Sky Ancient Road.

Later, the dark energy on Lan Xing gradually disappeared, and the whole Lan Xing entered the Age of Dharma Decline, with no trace of mortal power remaining.

Until Lan Xing's heavenly Dao awakened, and it began to ascend in dimension.

The two of them walked and talked like that, chatting for a long time.

"Lu Xun, thank you for accompanying me; I'm very happy today."

Evening.

Yun Shuyue said goodbye and left.

However.

Not long after, she came to look for Lu Xun again.

She still wanted to walk with Lu Xun.

"Could it be that something went wrong when she experienced her heart tribulation?"

Seeing Yun Shuyue voluntarily get this close to him, Lu Xun couldn't help but speculate.

Heart tribulation, also known as heart calamity, is the most dangerous of tribulations.

This tribulation concerns the heart.

If there are some unresolved feelings or regrets in one's heart, one is most prone to failure.

There are also other situations that are prone to failure.

For example, an unavenged great enmity, unrequited love, or a tragic experience suffered in childhood that affects later life.

Of course, one must also see whether one's will is steadfast.

Therefore, when undergoing the heart tribulation, cultivators will choose to first resolve these issues.

For example, Fu Tianze, although he is a martial cultivator, in order to pass the tribulation he had no choice but to submit to the obsessions of this world.

Another example is the elders of the Qingyun family.

The problem arises,

Could Yun Shuyue also have been affected in her state of mind by that occasion involving her relationship with Lu Xun?

Such an influence might not be a problem in ordinary times.

During the heart tribulation, however, the problem could become serious.

So Yun Shuyue chose to go with the flow, occasionally coming to seek closeness with Lu Xun, in order to increase their feelings?

After having this speculation.

Lu Xun was very cooperative.
