Chapter 222: 【Coming for Me, I Need You】 (Part 1, Seeking)

Song Wuming felt he had been a bit rash.

He had overlooked just how powerful his Supernatural Power was.

Especially at a time like this.

Huo Miaolan's emotions had reached an extreme; her regrets regarding her parents, her nostalgia for Lv Gong, and her obsession with being the only one left alive after everyone else had departed had all peaked.

And it was precisely at this moment that this single sentence from Song Wuming, augmented by the immensely powerful Supernatural Power of 【Word Follows Law】, directly magnified the fifty years they had spent together infinitely.

These fifty years of experience made an impression on Huo Miaolan that directly surpassed her insights from over two thousand years.

Song Wuming's image and name were branded deep into her heart, perfectly aligning with the peak of her emotional power.

It could be said that at this moment, her Dao—her True Emotion Sword Dao—and what she called "true emotion," had all settled upon Song Wuming.

Even though the two of them had not displayed any intimate gestures, in Huo Miaolan's perception, Song Wuming was already her closest person.

She would not doubt this, nor could she, because this was her Sword Dao; once she lost this conviction, her Dao would collapse!

After Huo Miaolan slashed through the thunder with her sword and caused the Heavenly Tribulation to vanish into thin air, she looked at Song Wuming.

Those eyes were truly like spring water, rippling with wave after wave, making Song Wuming feel a sense of panic.

"Oh no! It's coming for me!"

Song Wuming had just wanted to hide, only to find that he had nowhere to escape.

Huo Miaolan arrived before him, looked at him affectionately, and said:

"Thank you."

Song Wuming smiled awkwardly and said:

"No need, you are my Senior Sister; of course I would help you."

He was trying to remind Huo Miaolan: You are my Senior Sister, after all, over two thousand years older than me!

Furthermore, you are also the romantic interest of my Ancestor—the kind who even exchanged tokens of love—this is simply outrageous!

Just then, Ji Ziyou, who was nearby, walked over and teased:

"I don't think your relationship is just that of Senior Sister and Junior Brother!"

Song Wuming wanted to argue something, but he always felt that all his rhetoric seemed pale and weak; in Huo Miaolan's water-like eyes, no one would think they were merely fellow disciples.

Huo Miaolan, for her part, would not correct anything; in her heart, she had completely transformed that longing for Lv Gong, including other intense emotions, and condensed them all into her attachment to Song Wuming.

"Many thanks to you, fellow Daoist, for informing me of the news regarding fellow Daoist Lv Gong. I have troubled you much today; should you have any needs in the future, I will not refuse this karma."

Huo Miaolan bowed gracefully to Ji Ziyou and then looked at Song Wuming, saying:

"Let's go, Junior Brother, we should return to the sect. Don't you still need to practice your Sword Dao and challenge other Senior Brothers and Sisters?"

Song Wuming sighed; since things had reached this point, so be it. As long as he maintained his quality of keeping himself pure and clean, he wouldn't fear his fiery, passionate Senior Sister!

Bidding farewell to Ji Ziyou, the two returned to Ba Chong Tian.

As soon as they returned, Song Wuming, without a word, went straight to challenge the next Senior Brother, simply wanting to keep some distance from his Senior Sister.

But Huo Miaolan followed him over.

"Senior Sister, why are you following me?"

Song Wuming asked, knowing the answer perfectly well.

Huo Miaolan smiled gently and said:

"I am also here to improve my Sword Dao cultivation. You should be able to feel it—I need you in order to continue improving."

This was not just a casual remark; Song Wuming could naturally feel that Huo Miaolan's Sword Dao was currently built upon her feelings for him.

He could not even stop her, for that would be equivalent to severing Huo Miaolan's Great Dao.

For a moment, he was speechless, then he silently turned his head, found that Senior Brother, and began to focus on his own Sword Dao improvement.

At the same time, Huo Miaolan also watched him while practicing her own Sword Dao.

Thus, on the mountain peak of Yitong Jianxian, everyone would see this scene: two cultivators dueling, with another cultivator practicing swordplay on the side.

This scene, once it began, lasted for a full hundred years. Not to mention on Yitong Jianxian's mountain peak, all the disciples under Yunye Xingjun knew about this matter.

The Seventh Senior Sister was obsessed with the Eighth Junior Brother, practicing the sword to the point of madness, forming her own Dao.

Today, in the 5155th year of the Supernatural Era, the True Emotion Sword Dao Peach Blossom Sword Immortal Huo Miaolan is already at the Six-Turn Profound Immortal level, and Song Wuming has also stepped into the Three-Turn Realm.

The two of them were progressing rapidly, directly surpassing the vast majority of cultivators.

This year, the personal disciple of the Spirit Emperor of Lingyao Cheng, 'Guanyou', condensed the Daluo Dao Fruit and attained the position of Daluo Golden Immortal, becoming the first Daluo Golden Immortal in nearly one hundred thousand years.

The Three Disasters and Nine Calamities are already extremely difficult to overcome, and attaining the Taiyi Golden Immortal level is exhausting all karmic affinity, so attaining Daluo is truly a rare sight.

The birth of a Daluo Golden Immortal means there is more combat power to protect Daluo Tian; with one more portion of strength, everything below Jiuchongtian will be safer.

This is a matter worth celebrating by the whole world.

But Lingyao Cheng did not publicize this event; very few people knew she had broken through, as if it were just a very ordinary year.

Song Wuming and Huo Miaolan were summoned to the main hall, where Yitong Jianxian looked at the two and smiled:

"Your natural talent and opportunities are indeed top-tier; such cultivation speed is excellent. I have summoned you here today because I have calculated that within the Xinyang Realm to the east, a Spirit Treasure Flying Sword will emerge within the next three years.

Although this flying sword is only Low-Grade, it is a primordial spirit treasure rarely seen in hundreds of thousands of years; it was sealed in that place and has only been calculated today.

Golden Immortals will not descend, but there will be no shortage of Profound Immortal-level cultivators competing for it.

Whether the karmic affinity for this flying sword falls into your hands depends on your own opportunities. Go!"

It is already very rare to know which realm a treasure is in before it has even emerged.

As long as one arrives at the location, in the days approaching its emergence, Profound Immortals and True Immortals can all calculate a specific location.

Although it was said that the two should go together, in reality, Huo Miaolan uses her family's heirloom Peach Blossom Flying Sword, a Mid-Grade Spirit Treasure that is most compatible with her, so this trip is to find a flying sword for Song Wuming.

Huo Miaolan now has deep feelings for him, so she will seize the treasure for him.

Yitong Jianxian is very thoughtful.

It took them more than a month to fly to the Xinyang Realm.

The entire Xinyang Realm is still quite vast, and the two of them walked here, observing the surrounding scenery.

This is also a way to enhance one's insights.

Tempering the heart in the mortal world does not necessarily require heart-wrenching pain or sudden enlightenment; seeing and witnessing anything that can stir emotional fluctuations can allow the self to be sublimated.

Time quickly arrived at one year and four months later; on this day, Song Wuming suddenly felt something in his heart, and then he immediately flew toward a certain direction.

Huo Miaolan followed closely behind.

Before long, they arrived above a pool of water.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, streams from the mountains flow into the pool in the center; all sides are in the shade, yet only the center of the pool remains under the sunlight, truly a terrain of yin embracing yang.

Right where the yang eye is located, a breath of energy gradually rippled outward.
