Chapter 2837 - 88: Time Flies Like Lightning

I want to become... a being that while alive can be called "great," and after death can be remembered as a "sage."

I want to make a comeback and rise again.

I want to renew the myth.

I want to live!

I want to live, no matter what I have to do...

Time is terrifying.

It can erode high mountains, dry up rivers and seas, wear away ambition, and tire out heroes. Turning an existence that once shone brilliantly into dust.

However, history has its own inertia.

With the curtain falling on the protagonists of the old era, a new era’s protagonists make their debut.

The folded fan with the portrait of the Crane Family ancestor He Qingsong was never unfolded from beginning to end and was thrown into the Eternal Youth Spring.

The last remaining body of He Huating from Yuan Xi 3922 also forever dissipated in the Eternal Youth Spring.

The fine Eternal Youth Spring turned into the Crane family tomb.

Burial clothes of the former, remnants of the latter.

Its waters are very clear, yet deep and endless.

Gurgling, gurgling.

The Eternal Youth Spring bubbled fiercely, as if calling for something.

As soon as Zhu Lanruo glanced over, it calmed down.

Seeing this scene, Lu Qilang felt a chill in his heart!

Zhu Yi harnessed the extreme death divine declining power from the Eternal Youth Spring, using it to duel with Master Xingnian. Master Xingnian went with the flow, transforming the Immortal Spring Water into the filling Celestial River.

Later, a ball of Karmic Fire burned everything down.

All the various methods were incinerated, and the spring water became much cleaner.

Returned to the time fragment of Yuan Xi 3922.

With the relic of He Qingsong and the remains of He Huating, the Crane Family of Cold Mountain completely settled the cause and effect with the Eternal Youth Spring...

A spring of clear water without a trace, thus Zhu Lanruo mastered the Eternal Youth Spring, becoming the first among the many geniuses present to "gain something."

Even after Zhu Yi had exited, she completed the game alone and succeeded!

And what kind of reliance can gaining the Eternal Youth Spring bring her?

The game is still ongoing, these pieces remain on the Divine Mountain, but she was the first to leap out of being a piece, truly becoming the controller of this Shenxiao game.

What a terrifying genius!

Twenty years secluded, spreading a good name, landing a Shenxiao game to reveal divine skills.

From now on, who doesn’t know Zhu Lanruo?

Time flies, the Divine Mountain recedes in the long river of time.

After an indescribable trance, everything before the eyes remains unchanged.

It seems like nothing has changed, but those present can naturally feel that time has differed.

It has a vivid sense of a new era.

Compared to the Land of Shenxiao in Yuan Xi 3922, the feeling is particularly distinct.

Shujia Lan took a satisfied deep breath: "I finally understand why I felt uncomfortable all over just now. In the time fragment of Yuan Xi 3922, there was too much decay, just like Ancient Nan Mountain!"

Yang Yu said faintly: "Strictly speaking, the history of the Black Lotus Temple and Ancient Nan Mountain are not far apart. Besides... the Demon Master Tathagata is older than the Light King Tathagata."

Shujia Lan immediately found a point to retort: "Why not say your Light King Tathagata stole—"

"Moreover!" Yang Yu interrupted him before continuing to correct him: "That cannot be said to be the time fragment of Yuan Xi 3922, it can only be said to be the Land of Shenxiao in Yuan Xi 3922, very narrow in both time and space. Your awareness of that time is the same as your awareness of Ancient Nan Mountain, ignorant and narrow."

Even having watched them fight to the point of mutual destruction, the crowd was no longer interested in their bickering at this level.

Lu Qilang only said: "It seems this sudden time travel has ended."

The Stele of True Words marks the farthest point of this time journey, and the Land of Shenxiao in Yuan Xi 3922, where He Huating is buried, is just an insignificant ripple in the long river of time.

Ken Xihua grumbled softly: "I really hate accidents."

Experiencing these twists and turns, his earlier ambition upon entering the Land of Shenxiao vanished.

In the past, without major events, he thought the new kings on the Heavenly List were just that, merely a few steps ahead, gaining fortuitous opportunities early. He often asked himself, it’s just a chance he’s lacking.

But from the moment he walked out of the woods full of wounds, all the events he experienced could only be silently awaited for outcomes. He didn’t even have as much presence as that fool Yuan Mengji.

And he clearly saw that compared to those new kings on the Heavenly List, he was comprehensively outclassed in wisdom, divine skills, and cultivation.

At this moment, his stance is very conflicted. He wants to approach Yang Yu for protection of the true teachings of Ancient Nan Mountain, yet he fears being caught in their life-and-death struggle with Shujia Lan, thus keeping a certain distance.

Zhu Lanruo gracefully plucked the broken string, and the surface of the Eternal Youth Spring rippled as if playing a lute. Having traveled through time, the Eternal Youth Spring remains under control.

From this, it can be seen that the revival methods of He Huating are indeed feasible.

In a state of depletion for countless years, with everything long since exhausted, it can still leverage the world’s rules via the power of breath manipulation to complete a perilous layout, worthy of being a once brilliant presence.

If the first blind step of Xiong Sansi crossing the river was wrong, none of these geniuses present would have been spared.

Thinking of Xiong Sansi...

Yang Yu clasped his palms together, a gesture of devotion for the Buddha, as well as respect for this man: "If Benefactor Xiong trusts this humble monk, after this journey, why not return with me to Ancient Nan Mountain. For your situation... my family’s abbot might have a solution."

"Your Ancient Nan Mountain has always excluded outsiders, holding an only self-view. Can it even accommodate Benefactor Xiong? Isn’t it more likely that once he sets foot on the mountain, you will exterminate him!" Shujia Lan interrupted: "Benefactor Xiong, our family has always been in search of a method to save the world and a ship to avert doom. If you are tormented by this life, you might as well come to Black Lotus Temple to consider solutions. We have always been mavericks, and do not care for mundane views."
