Chapter 11

Liu's Message

In front is the dead Liu Yin of the Nascent Soul stage, and behind is the living Liu Jizi of unknown cultivation, but should not be higher than Nascent Soul. Ruan Ci can be said to be attacked from both sides. To say who is more difficult to deal with, it should be Liu Yin. After all, he is already dead, and this white mist shadow might just be an illusion of the inner scene world. But Ruan Ci assessed the situation and still didn't move forward. She stayed in place and looked at Liu Jizi, thinking to herself, with his cultivation, it's actually not difficult to secretly capture me, but he didn't make a move, so he must have other plans. If he walks too fast, I'll run.

She guessed correctly. Liu Jizi really didn't mean to make a move on her. He walked a few steps forward and stopped, pointing at the clouds and mist, "The Yun Kong Gate has a supernatural power that is a secret not to be passed on. What it is called, outsiders have no way of knowing, but it is indeed effective. It is said that cultivators of the Yun Kong Gate who have passed on this technique can create a void and contemplate their thoughts in it. Over time, the void will produce mist and clouds, and when the opportunity arises, the thoughts in the mist will manifest in the world, relying on magic tools, just like reality. Look, although Senior Liu has passed away, the clouds in the inner scene world, don't they look like this supernatural power?"

That white mist Liu Yin glared at him, and the cloud mist Golden Core spun around the dantian, but did not fly out again. Ruan Ci said, "You are here, so he doesn't dare to make a move."

"Correct. He senses my magic power and knows he is not an opponent—actually, this is just an illusion of the inner scene world, knowing only to fear my aura, but not knowing that you are not an object he can possess. I have magic power to protect my body, and you have the blue sword to suppress it, so you won't be possessed by him. However, if this remaining obsession of Senior Liu rushes into your sea of consciousness, it will eventually bring you some trouble."

Liu Jizi puffed up his cheeks and blew forward. A breath of air blew past like a strong wind, and the white mist dissipated without a trace, leaving only dots of cloud energy lingering in the position of the young Liu Yin. Liu Jizi sighed, "Senior Liu, cultivators only cultivate this life. Look at it openly. A little obsession, let it go."

The white clouds swayed, and Liu Yin's phantom was no longer obsessed with Ruan Ci, turning and walking into the depths of the inner scene cave-heaven. Wherever he passed, the trees were desolate and the ice springs were sobbing. Ruan Ci and Liu Jizi watched him dissipate in the depths of the forest. Liu Jizi said, "I will send you out, so you don't encounter any more strange things."

The Ruan family was exterminated. No matter how many causes there were, Liu Jizi was the one who directly gave the order in the immortal gate. This was always true. Ruan Ci was extremely guarded and hateful toward him, but Wang Panpan had run away, and she couldn't draw the East Flower Sword. Liu Jizi spoke to her nicely, which was him giving her face. If he flew up and killed her with a sword, Ruan Ci couldn't resist anything, so she had to obey.

The two walked silently for a while, and Ruan Ci became curious again, and finally couldn't help but ask, "If that obsession rushes into my body, will I be him in the future?"

"Not necessarily," Liu Jizi was very patient with her. In fact, he had already said it once, but he repeated the explanation without any impatience, "You have been able to connect with the East Flower Sword, so you triggered the obsession's response. The East Flower Sword will naturally protect you. However, his obsession lingering in your body, if there is no good teacher to take action, you will have many distracting thoughts when practicing, and there will be many illusions. If you go forward and see the scene of him breaking the pill and becoming an infant, then when you become an infant in the future, you will have extremely terrifying obstacles of knowledge, and it will be difficult. Whether you will fall under the heavenly tribulation is hard to say."

Ruan Ci asked, "You also don't dare to watch him become an infant, so you stopped us, right—actually, you discovered us long ago, right?"

Liu Jizi smiled without saying a word. Ruan Ci said to herself, "Hmm, it seems you haven't become an infant either."

"I am not talented, I have cultivated the Dao for seven hundred years, and I am barely in the middle stage of Golden Core." Liu Jizi was not angry. He took a bamboo fan from his sleeve and shook it, smiling, "I know that when you, Miss Ruan, have cultivated for three hundred years, you will definitely be much stronger than I am now."

It wasn't until he shook the fan that Ruan Ci realized that there seemed to be cloud energy gathering around again. Liu Jizi shook his head and sighed, "Since it is an obsession, how can it dissipate so easily? After we walk out, this place will really be sealed, just waiting for someone from the Yun Kong Gate to deal with it."

"Are you here to do this?" Ruan Ci paused and asked again, "You said that cultivators only cultivate one life, what does that mean? Do ordinary people have many lives? Why do cultivators only have one life?"

"You like to ask questions even more than that sister of yours." Liu Jizi seemed to have a headache from her questions and smiled, "It's just that she asks about the important points, but you don't ask about important things at all. Why don't you ask me how many people are looking for you now? Why don't you ask me what you should do next?"

He mentioned Ruan Rong, and Ruan Ci felt a pain in her heart. She suppressed her anger and said as if nothing had happened, "How many people are looking for me now? Everyone is probably looking for me. If I ask you what I should do, will you tell me?"

Liu Jizi nodded and sighed, "Sure enough, you are the East Flower Sword Seed. Your aptitude is indeed extraordinary. Although you are young, you are much stronger than Zhou Ao."

The two talked as they walked. At this time, the dense forest had come to an end. Ruan Ci had a vague feeling that if Liu Jizi hadn't accompanied her, this road would not have been easy to walk.

When she stepped on the familiar stone ground with both feet, Ruan Ci breathed a sigh of relief. Although the bare stone mountains were boring, they were more reassuring to her than the bird-singing and flower-scented dense forest just now.

Liu Jizi turned back, inverted the fan handle, and wrote several runes in the air. The dense forest twisted, and Ruan Ci rubbed her eyes, leaving only a pile of rubble in front of her. Liu Jizi said, "I have temporarily covered this place with illusion, so as not to let many people come to seek treasures and ruin Senior Liu's purity."

He knew that Ruan Ci was just a mortal and didn't know anything, so he explained it to her slowly, "The inner scene world transforms the virtual into the real. Every grass and leaf, as long as you can bring it out, is real. Many things in the inner scene world are ordinary things to the owner, but they are rare treasures to low-level cultivators. In the future, if you have achieved success in cultivation and meet an opportunity, perhaps you can go to Qing Jun's inner scene world. In the past, she encountered a calamity and fell, her true spirit turned into hundreds of millions and threw into the Great Heavens, and the inner scene cave-heaven with residual cultivation wandered in the universe. Many great cultivators have entered to seek opportunities. If you, the sword bearer, hold the sword and enter, you should be able to get benefits that ordinary people cannot imagine."

"Qing Jun?"

Liu Jizi was slightly surprised, "Xie Yanhuan didn't even have time to tell you this?"

Ruan Ci shook her head. Liu Jizi simply sat on a mountain stone, shaking his bamboo fan lightly. The thick earth-moistening divine light transformed into thousands of shapes, explaining to Ruan Ci, "Qing Jun is the Dao-achieving sword spirit of the East Flower Sword, the Dao Ancestor of life in this universe. Later, she entered the calamity and fell, and the East Flower Sword was also destroyed in the great calamity, leaving only the remnant sword—this was several kalpas ago."

"Qing Jun's true spirit is formless and qualityless, and cannot be destroyed. After falling, it turned into hundreds of millions, drifting in the universe. When it was pregnant with living beings, it accidentally received a response, fell into the womb, and merged with the original spirit. It can be said to be the reincarnation of the sword soul." Liu Jizi looked at Ruan Ci, "However, don't think that this sword soul is very valuable. Just in the Langhuan Zhou Tian, there are thousands of sword seeds, which can be born at any time. The reincarnation of the sword soul only has the qualification to serve the East Flower Sword. Whether it can go further depends on personal aptitude and talent. Some people, although they are the reincarnation of the sword soul, are born stupid, or are sickly and die early, and don't even have the opportunity to see the East Flower Sword."

Ruan Ci thought secretly, "Although I am not stupid, I cannot sense the Dao rhyme. If I were born in another Great Heaven, perhaps I would have the opportunity to become a sword bearer. But in the Langhuan Zhou Tian, if Sister Xie hadn't found me, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know the three words East Flower Sword in my life."

"Just like you, if it were normal, you would naturally live a plain life and wouldn't know the origin of this immortal sword. But who told you to have good luck?"

Liu Jizi also thought of the same thing as her. He sighed, not knowing whether it was envy or jealousy, "Xie Yanhuan likes you very much. Not only did he give you the sword, but before he left, he used his supernatural powers to kill all the sword souls in the world. Do you know? With that one sword strike, he killed tens of thousands of people. How many sword cultivation seeds carefully cultivated by famous sects died on the spot because of his sword strike, even if they were serving by their teachers' side, without any room for maneuver?"

Ruan Ci covered her mouth to hide a gasp. Only then did she understand what Xie Yanhuan had done while holding her hand before leaving. The scene of tens of thousands of starlight coming to vote and the roars of great beings reappeared in front of her eyes. Thinking that every point of light represented a life, she couldn't help but shiver, and said stutteringly, "Sister Xie... Sister Xie she..."

"She doesn't take human life seriously at all, right?"

Liu Jizi smiled, "If you were her, you wouldn't have others in your eyes either. You must know that Senior Liu is already the most outstanding person in our South Zhuzhou, but in front of Xie Yanhuan, he is still a firefly seeing the moon."

His tone was also a bit subtle, as if he yearned for such means, but it was inconvenient to reveal it, "Xie Yanhuan is indeed the most outstanding person in the Langhuan Zhou Tian for ten thousand years. Since he chose you, you naturally have something extraordinary, and you should know his painstaking efforts in doing so."

What else did Ruan Ci not understand? Sword soul reincarnation, famous sects, careful teaching. Why do famous sects teach these disciples? Isn't it to chase this East Flower Sword? She said, "Sister Xie is for me."

"Correct. Qing Jun's true spirit is formless and qualityless, and even a cave-heaven true person cannot calculate it, so they can only search slowly. They also have to look for good seedlings with excellent aptitude and character. It takes hundreds of years to do it. But the East Flower Sword cannot be without a master for a day. Today, you are the only one in the world who carries Qing Jun's true spirit and is qualified to be the East Flower Sword bearer," Liu Jizi stood up slowly, looking at the distance, "Those people are looking for you, but they won't kill you, let alone harm you. They will only try their best to treat you well, coax you to join their sect. Now you are the most transcendent mortal in the Langhuan Zhou Tian. If you are willing, you can live a life that even I would envy."

He finished speaking, but Ruan Ci didn't answer, just looked at Liu Jizi. After a while, she said, "Why don't you continue?"

Liu Jizi wondered, "What do I want to say?"

Ruan Ci said, "It's something like, others seem to treat me well, but actually harbor evil intentions, and although your Lingxiao Gate exterminated my entire Ruan family, you actually did it for my own good, let me join the Lingxiao Gate, and so on."

Liu Jizi was amused by her, "No need, the foundation of the Lingxiao Gate is shallow, and now it can no longer hold a big person like you. It is fate that I met you here, and no one in the sect knows that I am here—the cat friend guarding the mountain top can rest assured."

Wang Panpan's figure appeared on a pile of rubble on the top of the mountain. She raised her claws at Liu Jizi, seemingly about to pounce on Liu Jizi's head in the next second. After being called out by Liu Jizi, she didn't say anything, shook her fur, jumped to Ruan Ci's feet, and several phantoms ran from several directions on the mountain top, merging into her furry body. Ruan Ci glanced at her, Wang Panpan nodded, and she said, "Since the foundation is shallow, why do you block Song Guo? Isn't it because you want the East Flower Sword?"

"Since you have a spiritual cat guarding you, I won't say much about many things. You can ask her." Liu Jizi smiled freely, "I know you must be thinking in your heart, I don't want to take you back, so why do I say these things to you."

He hit the nail on the head of Ruan Ci's thoughts. Ruan Ci raised her face and looked at Liu Jizi. Liu Jizi looked at her for a while, admiring but also feeling a bit of pity, "I have always loved talent, so it's hard not to say more to you—some things, you will know in the future. With this sword, you can do many things you couldn't do before, but because of this, you have many things you have to do. What you should do, you are right not to ask me. After all, this is not up to you."

He turned around and walked a few steps. As if remembering something, he rolled his long sleeves, and green light appeared on the ground, and two figures fell out. Ruan Ci looked closely and screamed, "Rong Jie!"

She had traveled with Liu Jizi all the way, and the other party could take her life at any time, but she was still calm. At this moment, she lost her composure, threw herself beside Ruan Rong and hugged her, shedding tears. "So you are still alive! And Qian Ge!"

Ruan Rong and Ruan Qian were both listless, and Ruan Qian's breath was even weaker, but fortunately it was stable. Ruan Rong hugged Ruan Ci tightly, trembling all over. Liu Jizi said to Ruan Ci, "I said, I cherish talent—your clan sister and clan brother, I will give them to you—this is my good intention, you must cultivate them well."

His words had deep meaning. Ruan Ci was stunned when she heard it, but she didn't have time to ponder. She raised her head and asked, "Zhou Ao, is he still alive?"

Liu Jizi smiled, "I didn't kill him either, I left him for you to sharpen your sword. Come and take his head when you have achieved success in cultivation in the future."

He shook his bamboo fan lightly and walked away leisurely. Ruan Rong gasped, hugged Ruan Ci tightly, thinking of borrowing strength, and shouted at his back with all her might, "Liu Jizi—I will definitely take your life—"

Liu Jizi looked back at Ruan Rong, laughed lightly, and said calmly, "I killed your entire family, it is only natural for you to seek revenge on me. But Miss Ruan, revenge is revenge, but what about kindness? I saved your life. How should you repay this kindness in the future?"

He didn't kill Ruan Rong. This kindness was indeed real. If Liu Jizi had listened to his senior brother at that time, Ruan Rong would have lost her life. Disputes in Song Guo were frequent, and cutting the grass and roots was almost a deep-rooted common sense. Ruan Rong was stunned and couldn't answer. Liu Jizi smiled freely, turned back and shook his fan, and disappeared into the illusion, with only the lingering sound echoing in the mountains.

"The people of the three countries have been gathering essence and eating energy for seven hundred years, have never been stained by the fireworks of the human world, and have lived in a place where spiritual energy is chaotic. They are naturally good cultivation seedlings. In these few years, many major sects will pass on the Dharma and accept disciples in the three countries, and there is no lack of ancient high gates from the Central Continent. If you are interested in making progress, you can pay attention. But if I were you, I wouldn't walk with them."

"Ruan Ci, do you understand what I mean..."

Updated! Sorry for the wait, I'll send red envelopes for the next chapter in a while. I won't send red envelopes for this chapter. I spent too much money last month and have to be restrained...

I had big-headed shrimp for lunch today. Does everyone eat big-headed shrimp? I think big-headed shrimp tastes a bit like crab, very delicious, and easier to peel than crab. Give it a little mustard vinegar, it's very fragrant!
