Chapter 7 Xuanli Feiwu

Lyu Liang was very calm. His eyes seemed peaceful. Two days after his combination with the Devil Soul, Lyu Liang dashed straight for the Training Tower without returning home.

He saw the big bear on Level 3 again. The bear touched its head in a silly manner, shook its head and giggled, “Let’s not fight. I admit defeat! I feel that I can’t defeat you at all!” Level 3, passed!

On Level 4, as expected, another animal appeared. It was a giant eagle! Lyu Liang worshipped Feiling and displayed Wind-dodging Move immediately. At the same time, he released Mind Sword Essence. Under the two attacks, the giant eagle gave up and surrendered to him. Level 4, passed!

On Level 5, it was a huge monkey! Just with a few strikes, Lyu Liang could sense it: The wolf’s agility, the leopard’s speed, the bear’s strength, the eagle’s weirdness, and this monkey had them all! Yet, even if that was the case, so what?

Lyu Liang smiled gently and displayed the Wind-dodging Move. At the same time, a sword flower appeared on top of his head, which had never happened before. It was followed by the second flower, third flower, fourth, fifth…until the tenth flower appeared. The flowers then flew down towards the monkey. When the monkey was hit and knocked down, Lyu Liang smiled slightly and thought, “Not bad for the second style of Heart Swordsmanship, Joyful Sword Essence”. Level 5, passed!

The moment the monkey admitted defeat, a stele appeared in the middle of Level 5. There was a round plate on the stele. Lyu Liang walked forward. His hand touched the plate, casually moved it and began its refinement. Half an hour later, it was a success!

When he had successfully refined it, Lyu Liang felt that the entire land was within his Divine Soul. Though his body was in the tower, he could clearly sense everything outside the tower. Most importantly, he felt that he only needed to think to get himself out of the land! However, he was not yet in a hurry. Before leaving, he still needed to hand over some things to a lot of people.

In the morning, Lyu Liang dressed himself in white and went to the giant tree. This was where the Land Spirit stayed. At that time, the Land Spirit was already there waiting for him. It said, “Hehe. It had been 10 years. You’ve indeed changed a lot ever since you came in here as a silly and bad-tempered child. There’s something I need to tell you beforehand. You’re unable to take those rare treasures you’ve found from the Virtual Land with you before you obtain Master’s mantle. Moreover, Master had set a restriction. If you leave this land before obtaining the mantle, you need to stay in the outside world for 10 years before you can return. During this period, you won’t be able to return even if you want to. Are you sure you want to leave now?”

For the first time, Lyu Liang respectfully kneeled down on the floor, kowtowed thrice and said, “Senior, thank you for your guidance. For the past ten years, I’ve learnt a lot from Senior. I’ve decided. Though this land contains dense Primordial Qi and Devil qi, I feel that I’ve reached the bottleneck for now. Moreover, I’ve my own reasons for leaving this place. I must leave!”

“With your current skills, you need to be careful when exploring outside. Indeed, the Spiritual Qi is strong in here, but you’ll lack practical training and guidance from skilled mentors. Due to the rules, we are unable to provide you with any hints before you obtain Master’s mantle. We hope for your understanding.” The Land spirit waved its hand and a small pouch, a jade bracelet and a piece of jade talisman appeared in front of it. “This storage pouch contains Primordial Stones. It provides Primordial Qi to cultivators for cultivation. It can also act as a currency for trading in the cultivation world. There’re four kinds of primordial stones, namely lower grade, mid grade, upper grade, and ultimate grade. Each grade differs from another by 100. This pouch has 5000 lower-grade stones, 100 mid-grade stones and 10 upper-grade stones for your use. In addition, I will give you another Interspatial Bracelet, which is a storage magical treasure of immortal rank. Its quality is way beyond a normal storage pouch and it has a great capacity, which is enough for you to store your items. Just take them as gifts from Master. Lastly, this is a jade talisman. Blend it with your Divine Soul after you get it. You may use it to replenish your Spiritual Qi after 10 years to return to this land.”

“Thank you, Senior!” Useful! Very useful! All these items were exceptionally important to Lyu Liang right now!

“Go then. As long as you’re not dead, the land will always be at the place you entered. I believe you understand the logic behind “a person’s talent will arouse the envy of others”. Whether it’s this land, or your wealth and secret, they can cause troubles to you! Be humble, be good. All the best to you then!” The Land spirit appeared like a senior. Its big eyes revealed a strong feeling of concern towards him.

“Senior, thank you for your guidance. I will remember them!” Lyu Liang also understood that there were now laws in the cultivation world. The strength was all that a cultivator had. He had heard too many examples of rob-and-kill cases from Magic Treasure Spirits when chatting with them.

After bidding goodbyes to the Land spirit, Lyu Liang came to the front of the rare treasure hall and respectfully kowtowed thrice. He said, “Grandpa Tianqiongzi! Sister Qingci! I will be leaving this land with Feiling for a while, but I will be back! One day, I will help you find your magic treasure forms and bring both of you out with me!”

“Hehe, silly brother. I look forward to your success!” Lyu Liang heard Fairy Qingci’s gentle voice in his mind when he turned and left the place.

It was finally the last stop, which was also a place where Lyu Liang treasured the most. It was the south, the Cenotaph! He had an urge to enter the Cenotaph!

In the night and in front of the cenotaph, a man in black gradually appeared and said, “Come on in. She has been waiting for a long time.” Following his words, Lyu Liang was pulled into the cenotaph with an irresistible force.

“This is the inside of cenotaph? What a strong True Devil Qi it has!” This was the first feeling Lyu Liang had upon entering the Cenotaph.

The space within the cenotaph was not big, yet it was filled with dense True Devil Qi. There were three chairs placed in the middle of the area. The seat on the left was empty. The seat in the middle and on the right each sat a lady. What was interesting was that the two ladies were exactly the same, regardless of their appearances or auras!

Black was there as well; however, he was in the right lady’s arms. He seemed to enjoy her touch as he laid in her arms. Lyu Liang nodded his head as an acknowledgment upon entering the cenotaph.

The two ladies were in black battle robes, and their slim figures could be distinctly seen. Their eyes were as beautiful as painting and were currently sizing Lyu Liang up. The ladies then smiled at him gently in return. They were as pretty as the fairies in heaven.

What shocked Lyu Liang more was the sharp and hostility look in their eyes! The two ladies appeared to be very frail, or in other words, too frail to the extent that Lyu Liang felt that he could destroy them with a blast of his Sword Qi. Yet, their stares contained a sense of arrogance, which shut Lyu Liang up instantly. This strong sense of suppression felt as though thousands of horses were neighing and galloping at him. He couldn’t help but felt fearful.

“Indeed, you belong to the same bloodline of the Xuanli Clan, which is same as mine. Moreover, you are sealed by the Mysterious Devil Seal too. However, it seems like that person sealed yours to prevent you from revealing the Devil Qi,” said a gentle voice, which made Lyu Liang’s eyes to fall upon the middle lady.

“I learnt about you from Black and had some basic understanding. I am Black’s first owner, Xuanli Feiwu, who is the Guardian of one of the three major clans in the devil world. According to Black, your mother, Xuanli Yue, is my brother’s granddaughter. My brother’s name is Xuanli Tianlie. My brother’s granddaughter is also Black’s second owner.” The lady gazed at Lyu Liang with affection. “As you can see now, my real form is only two blocks of soul.”

Xuanli Yue! Though in his Devil Soul’s memory, his father did address his mother as “Yue”, but upon hearing his mother’s real name, Lyu Liang couldn’t help but feel excited about it! Moreover, the lady in front of him was his own mother’s older relatives. This made Lyu Liang, who had been living with his father since young, felt a warmth sense of belonging!

“Initially, Feiwu had three blocks of soul and one of the blocks was the one you saw holding the Silence Sword at that time. However, she had disappeared forever.” Black quietly transmitted a message to Lyu Liang’s ears.

“This… this, I… I…” Lyu Liang was really speechless. His mind was blank. He felt so grateful that no words could describe how he was feeling! Since he did not know what to say, the only thing that Lyu Liang could do was to kneel on the floor and kowtow to her 10 times.

“Hehe, get up, silly boy. Mengdao said I just need one block of soul. Since that’s the case, what loss do I have in losing one block?” The two similar-looking ladies smiled at each other after finishing the sentences.

“Thank you for your kindness, my ancestor. I am deeply grateful for your help!” Lyu Liang couldn’t help but teared as he said, “I shall be leaving this land soon. Is there anything I can help on your behalf?”

“Leave, my child. That guy had made me this wooden chair to recuperate my soul. It is good enough for me to maintain the power of my Devil Soul. Moreover, I have Silence by my side. I am happy and carefree now. Black shall accompany you then. You’re still weak, and you may not have the capability to use it at its fullest potential. When you’re outside, it will only be a troop fighting alongside with you. If you meet someone who knows Black’s true self, you must be very careful!” Xuanli Feiwu said caringly, “If you meant my wish, I am just curious about my elder brothers’ status. Sigh! It has been more than ten thousand years. I don’t know how they are in the Ghost Realm. If you have a chance to meet them in the future, please help me pass the message.”

Suddenly, as though she had thought of something, the hostility in Xuanli Feiwu’s eyes had disappeared. Instead, her eyes sparkled in an unusual manner as she said, “I’ve almost forgotten about it! If your capability had advanced to the immortal level and above in future and you happened to meet Dreamless that fellow, ask him to come back. I am pretty good in this state. So what if I can’t fight? I’ve admitted defeat long ago anyway.”

Lyu Liang was suddenly in trance for a moment. Indeed, she was like a battle god a moment ago, and suddenly, she became gentle like a young lady. Moreover, there was no more hostility in her eyes. She had revealed an unknown and unexplainable sweet look. This was the only description he could think of to describe her appearance.

The current Lyu Liang was still unclear of what Xuanli Feiwu’s look represented. However, years later, when the destined lady appeared in his life, he noticed this same look in her eyes.

That was when he finally understood that this look was the look of happiness.
