Chapter 1957: Chapter 2054: The Ancient Spirit Breaks Free

Two completely different futures, and the latter was something Fang Lin was unwilling to see truly happen, no matter what.

At this moment, Fang Lin recalled the twelve murals inside the ancient cave at the Ten Thousand Mountains. The last mural was completely blank, with nothing on it, as if it was conveying something.

Later, after being guided by the person holding the umbrella, Fang Lin understood that the empty twelfth mural hinted at the word "change."

This twelfth mural’s content indicated that everything in the future was variable. Whether it was Fang Lin himself or anyone else involved in this conflict, they could all become a crucial part of that change.

The two different futures he saw under the Lovesick Tree, do they also suggest that the future holds variables? The key lies in what Fang Lin chooses to do.

"To truly step into the Supreme Realm of Martial Arts, one must have a deep enough obsession for support. But where lies my current obsession?" Fang Lin murmured to himself, glancing at Dugu Nian standing beside him.

Fang Lin understood that he indeed had a part of his obsession tied to Dugu Nian. He hoped Dugu Nian could be well, and as long as she could live safely, Fang Lin was willing to pay any price.

But this was not the entirety of Fang Lin’s obsession. He was also most concerned about his parents, had a greater pursuit in Alchemy Tao, a persistence in Martial Arts, and compassion for all beings.

One could say Fang Lin had many obsessions, each seemingly deep enough, but which one was key for Fang Lin to become the Martial Arts Supreme?

In a daze, Fang Lin could hear no sound, and Dugu Nian beside him seemed to disappear. Only the gorgeous Lovesick Tree remained, accompanying Fang Lin.

Unconsciously, Fang Lin suddenly realized he was already beyond ordinary people, not comparable to ordinary Martial Artists. If he stepped into the Martial Arts Supreme, he shouldn’t be like Xuanyuan Ya and the others.

"Have I really transcended?" Fang Lin murmured, confusion reflecting in his eyes.

His understanding of transcendence had somewhat changed, possibly transcending not only life and death.

If Fang Lin was truly someone who had transcended, he should put down all obsessions, rather than falling into some obsession.

Obsession, at the root, is something a person cannot completely let go of, something they care about and worry over in their heart. How can such a person be considered transcendent?

A truly transcendent person should be able to transcend life and death, transcend all obsessions, not be bound by obsessions, truly beyond the worldly.

The Life and Death Reincarnation Pill Fang Lin refined merely made him a being beyond life and death, but it couldn’t make him let go of his obsessions. After all, he was still a living human with flesh and blood, emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Various obsessions still entangled him, preventing him from becoming someone who truly transcends everything.

For Fang Lin, to become a being capable of resisting the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu, he must thoroughly transcend so that nothing could become his obstacle.

But letting go of those obsessions was not an easy thing for Fang Lin. He had too many concerns, and without these concerns, Fang Lin wouldn’t even know how he came this far.

If he truly let go of these obsessions, would he still be Fang Lin? Or would he become some kind of monster?

At this moment, Fang Lin didn’t know if he should let go of all his obsessions and become a true transcendent.

···

When the Golden Cocoon completely shattered, the true body of the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu also fully awakened.

All the Ancient Spirit Incarnations had already returned to the true body. Moreover, the abundant and vast vitality of all beings on the earth was also obtained by the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu.

At this moment, Fang Qingye and Xuanyuan Ya, the guardians of this place, knew it was a dire situation. The worst possible scenario had still occurred.

"You should leave here urgently, I will hold it off for a while longer." Xuanyuan Ya urged Fang Qingye to leave.

Fang Qingye shook his head and said, "The two of us together can withstand it."

"Whether you stay or go, the result is the same." A calm voice came from the crumbling Golden Cocoon, seemingly indifferent to what Fang Qingye and Xuanyuan Ya would do.

"Go, your staying helps nothing. You might as well go see the one you wish to meet." Xuanyuan Ya said.

Hearing this, Fang Qingye didn’t say much more, cupped his hands in salute to Xuanyuan Ya, and then turned and stepped into the void.

"Xuanyuan Ya, are you going to use your life to hold me back?" The Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu asked with interest.

Xuanyuan Ya laughed, "I don’t have many days to live anyway, if I can delay you for a while, I might as well do it."

"For those ants, you have fought with me for so many years, why are you still so stubborn? I can let you enjoy eternal life upon Mountain Tu. Is even immortality unable to attract you?" said the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu, as its true form also emerged from the Golden Cocoon.

Xuanyuan Ya gave it a glance, attacked with both palms, and laughed, "You said these words to me years ago. Immortality is indeed attractive, but I, Xuanyuan Ya, do not care."

"Stubborn fool, then I shall personally send you on your way, it’s the least I can do for you, Xuanyuan Ya," the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu said coldly.

Boom!!!!

In this stretch of void, a life-and-death battle that few people would ever know about suddenly erupted, marking the final battle of Xuanyuan Ya, the first Martial Arts Supreme of the Human Clan.

The opponent in this battle was the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu!

Fang Qingye appeared on the devastated, deathly silent land, feeling much grief in his heart, and immediately moved to the Ancient Demon Ridge in a flash.

Bai Qingxue arrived at the Ancient Demon Ridge before Fang Qingye, feeling Fang Qingye’s presence, she immediately appeared to meet him.

"Has Lin’er not succeeded?" Fang Qingye immediately inquired about Fang Lin upon seeing Bai Qingxue.

Bai Qingxue shook her head upon hearing this: "Still within the Sacred Tree."

Fang Qingye frowned and said, "There’s no time left, the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu has broken free."

Bai Qingxue bit her lip: "No matter what, our family will stay together."

Fang Qingye could not help but clench his fists: "I won’t let you and Lin’er die."

After speaking, Fang Qingye went directly into the Ancient Demon Ridge, with Bai Qingxue following closely behind.

Before the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, both Fang Qingye and Bai Qingxue gazed through it, looking at Fang Lin who was inside cultivating.

Fang Lin seemed to sense something, quietly opened his eyes, and vaguely saw two familiar figures standing outside the Sacred Tree.

For some reason, Fang Lin felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if if he didn’t immediately go to meet those two figures, there would be no more day to meet them in the future.

Just as Fang Lin was willing to risk everything to walk out of the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, Fang Qingye waved a hand, enveloping the entire Sacred Tree and preventing Fang Lin from leaving.

"Your mother and I may die, but as long as you remain within the Sacred Tree, even if you haven’t stepped into the Supreme Realm of Martial Arts, you can still live."
