Chapter 439 After Returning to the Sect
Chapter 439 After Returning to the Sect
"So in the end, Jiang Kuan, you got the biggest advantage?" After they had walked quite a distance, Senior Brother Liu suddenly came to his senses.
"Hehe, it's me!" Jiang Kuan was also surprised.
"No, Senior Brother, why don't you give it to Junior Sister?!" What's the point of giving such a good thing to Jiang Kuan?
“Mingyue’s spiritual root is not suitable. Only Jiang Kuan’s fire spiritual root has the highest purity here.” Ji Yunshen was afraid that Long Mingyue would misunderstand, so he patiently explained.
Of course, there was another reason he didn't mention. In the emergency, in order to prevent Yan Ming from obtaining the Fire Spirit, he stripped the Fire Spirit from his body and stuffed it into Jiang Kuan's body.
Once Yan Ming comes to his senses, he will definitely find someone to take the Fire Spirit back.
It's best not to trouble Mingyue with this kind of thing; go find Jiang Kuan instead.
"You kid, you've really hit the jackpot!" Senior Brother Liu was extremely envious; he got a Fire Spirit and jumped straight to the late Golden Core stage.
It seems he also needs to work harder on his cultivation.
Everyone gained a lot from this trip to the secret realm. After leaving the secret realm, Senior Brother Liu went into seclusion, because he didn't want to be suppressed by Jiang Kuan.
Senior Brother Zhao was in charge of distributing the spoils from the secret realm to everyone, exchanging them for what they wanted, and preparing supplies for their next trip.
As for Jiang Kuan, well, he's showing off to his fellow disciples.
For example, right now he's holding a rice bowl, deliberately walking to the table with the most fellow disciples, flipping his palm, and the Fire Spirit "chirps" out, helping him to toast the cold rice until it's fragrant and crispy.
"Oh dear, the heat was a bit too high," Jiang Kuan said, feigning distress. "This fire spirit is too intense; it's hard to control!"
The disciples: "..." (silently lowering their heads and eating their rice)
For example, during a training class, the elder had everyone practice fire control techniques.
Jiang Kuan released the Fire Spirit directly, letting it fly around the entire area, and deliberately hovered above the heads of several senior brothers who usually looked down on him, almost burning their hair.
"Jiang Kuan! Tone it down!" the elder roared.
"Yes, yes, Elder, I'll take it right away!" Jiang Kuan agreed verbally, but his hands moved slowly.
As Huo Ling passed by the elder, she accidentally spat out a spark that ignited the corner of his clothes, leaving Jiang Kuan dumbfounded.
"Jiang Kuan!" The elder was truly enraged.
"Um, Elder, would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose?"
"Believe it? I don't believe you! Get out of here!" The elder couldn't help but look at the blackened hem of his clothes.
Jiang Kuan had no choice but to slink out of the classroom.
That day, he proudly showed the fire spirit's "spirituality" to his junior sisters.
"Junior sister, look! My fire spirit can communicate with people. Come, let me demonstrate for everyone. Little fire spirit, grow a little bigger!"
The fire spirit instantly grew from the size of a fingertip to the size of a torch.
"Make it even smaller!"
The fire spirit instantly shrank back to the size of a fingertip.
"Senior brother, senior brother, can you turn the Fire Spirit into a crane?"
Seeing his junior sisters staring at him with bright eyes, Jiang Kuan quickly said, "No problem! Little Fire Spirit, quickly transform into a crane!"
Sure enough, the little fire spirit instantly transformed into a fiery red crane, drawing admiration from the junior sisters.
"Senior brother, turn into a puppy!"
"Senior brother, turn into a kitten, turn into a kitten!"
"Little rabbits are fine too!"
The junior sisters chattered about their requests, and as a result, the Fire Spirit instantly transformed into a large tiger.
"Wow!" Before the junior sisters could even exclaim in surprise.
The tiger that the fire spirit had transformed into suddenly became enraged and breathed fire at Jiang Kuan.
Not only did it burn his eyebrows, but it also chased him all over the mountain, eventually setting fire to the medicinal herbs in the herb field.
"Jiang Kuan! You stop right there!" the law enforcement elder roared.
"No, Elder, I can't stand up!"
"Hahahaha!" Lin Liuyi and his fellow female students laughed along with him.
Ji Yunshen and Long Mingyue came out at this moment. "What's wrong, Liu Yi? What are you laughing at?"
"Hey, laugh at Jiang Kuan. He was showing off to his junior sisters, but his joy turned to sorrow. Now the fire spirit is chasing after him and burning him! But can this fire spirit also devour its master?" Lin Liuyi asked curiously.
"It's just a little tantrum," Ji Yun Shen said after glancing at it. "It's normal for such spiritual creatures to have their own little temper."
“Yes, nothing serious will happen. Besides, Jiang Kuan should tone it down a bit. I’ve heard about all the ridiculous things he’s done these past few days.” Long Mingyue nodded, hoping that Huo Ling would teach Jiang Kuan a lesson.
"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. My senior brother and I are going to take you to see the sights of the cultivation world."
"Really? Let's go then!" Lin Liuyi was very excited when she heard this.
"Come on! Come on, get on your sword, I'll show you how to fly on a sword first."
Long Mingyue stood on the sword, and Lin Liuyi followed suit.
Then, Long Mingyue lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her longsword soared into the air like a dragon.
In an instant, the earth receded rapidly beneath our feet, the mountains transformed into winding ink lines, and the rivers shimmered like silver threads.
Ah, this is what it feels like to fly on a sword.
"So, how's Children's Day? Is it still acceptable?"
"can!"
"Then I'll go even faster!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword suddenly accelerated again.
The sword's edge sliced through the air, producing a clear, resonant ringing sound.
The wind howled like thunder in my ears, yet under the protective aura, it transformed into a gentle murmur.
With his clothes fluttering and his long hair flying, Lin Liuyi felt as if he had become one with the sword, transforming into a streak of light that pierced the sky.
That wasn't all; Long Mingyue then flew into the clouds on her sword.
The surroundings instantly turned into a white expanse, and a damp, cold mist rushed towards them, then scattered into tiny water droplets under the stimulation of the sword energy, refracting a rainbow of colors.
Suddenly, the clouds parted, and a bright and clear view appeared before us.
Below you is an endless sea of clouds, as vast as a snowfield, while above you is a clear blue sky, as if you could reach out and touch the stars.
When swooping down on a sword, my heart pounded like a drum, the wind filled my sleeves, and the mountains and rivers rapidly magnified before my eyes; when soaring into the air, it was like a bird flapping its wings, light and free, and even my soul felt relaxed.
Occasionally, one might encounter fellow cultivators on the same path. Their swords would clash, they would bow to each other from afar, and pass by with a smile, displaying a carefree spirit akin to "traveling to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening."
Lin Liu felt as if his body and mind had been cleansed, and he felt inexplicably relaxed.
"Let's go, Liu Yi, let's go to the far north to see the Sea of Fallen Stars!" Ji Yun Shen followed silently behind on his sword.
Lin Liu felt that they had been flying for a very long time, so long that they eventually had to take out a flying boat to travel, before they finally arrived at their destination.
"what is that!"
Above Lin Liuyi's gaze, there was a dazzling Milky Way stretching across the sky, but it did not hang in the sky; instead, it cascaded down like a waterfall into a bottomless abyss.
Billions of stars transformed into liquid light, flowing into a vast sea of stars.
The sea of stars would occasionally ripple with silvery-blue waves, and countless star spirits (spirits that had taken the form of stars) would leap out of the water and weave together in the air to form an ancient star map, as if guiding the location of the ancient immortal treasure.
"This is the Sea of Fallen Stars!"
