Chapter 2709: Chapter 2708: No Such Person Found

Jiufeng’s Primordial Spirit trembled and only calmed down after a long while; she finally understood why, the first time she saw Long Fei, her heart had been stirred as though mountains and seas were overturning.

So it turned out her entanglement with Long Fei was this deep.

The cause of yesterday, the fruit of this life.

Jiufeng’s thoughts twisted and turned a hundred times; in the end, she resolutely let go of this strand of karma.

She drew her sword; crimson Sword Qi surged, carving a sky‑piercing sword mark in midair.

With a hum, the Laws resounded; the rolling, buzzing Sword Qi severed, in a single stroke, the karmic Laws of the past from herself.

Seeing the look on her face gradually improve, Long Fei was happy for her and said, "If you’re still holding a grudge, I can marry you again and take responsibility for you!"

"In your dreams!"

Jiufeng shot him a glare and asked, "Where is the Three Lives Flower?"

Long Fei looked toward the bank of mist ahead that was like Chaos and told her, "Three lives—previous life, this life, next life. Within Reincarnation, only the next life is ever‑changing and cannot be lightly spied upon. The next life each person sees is different; only in the next life can you find the Three Lives Flower."

"Then let’s hurry and go!"

Jiufeng was anxious to set out.

Long Fei reminded her, "Only you can take part in your next life; I can’t accompany you. The next life is not the previous life; every move you make can affect it. You must remember, the next life is not singular—everything is like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow. No matter what you see or what you do, don’t become lost in it. Once you reach the End of Reincarnation, you will see the Three Lives Flower. Remember, you only have half a刻 of time."

Jiufeng nodded and, without the slightest hesitation, stepped into the mist.

The Laws thundered; her Primordial Spirit swayed.

When Jiufeng opened her eyes again, she had already returned to the outer altar.

She saw Long Fei once more; her eyes were red and tears streamed down without stopping as she reached out and gripped him tightly.

Yet as for what exactly had happened, she had forgotten it all completely.

When she had just stepped out of the Gate of Reincarnation, the Reincarnation Law had already erased all the memories in her Primordial Spirit.

She only vaguely remembered some things; when she saw Long Fei, her heart would ache for no reason.

Everything truly was just as Long Fei had said—like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow.

"It’s over now, it’s all in the past!"

Long Fei smiled as he patted her head, waiting for her emotions to slowly settle.

She looked around at the Disciples of the various sects who were still meditating with eyes closed, wiped her tears, and anxiously asked Long Fei, "Where is the Three Lives Flower? Why didn’t I see it?"

Long Fei chuckled and gestured to her, "Look up."

Jiufeng frowned and raised her head, only to see three Azure Lotuses blooming above it.

Her face was full of shock. "This is?"

Long Fei smiled faintly. "This is the Three Lives Flower."

He explained to Jiufeng, "The Three Lives Flower is not truly a flower; three lives are the cause, and the flower is the fruit. Only by severing karma will the Three Lives Flower blossom. You already have Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, so what Three Lives Flower are you still looking for?"

"So that’s how it is!"

Jiufeng suddenly understood; she hadn’t expected that in such a short time, her Primordial Spirit would break through to the Golden Immortal Realm.

This truly was ’If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die in the evening.’

With a single point of insight, the speed of Cultivation was far faster than one would imagine.

Although she didn’t know what she had seen in the future, she still felt that her future was tied to Long Fei, and that Long Fei should be someone she cared about very much.

She reached out and pinched hard at Long Fei’s arm. "That day you wronged me and cut me with a sword. Now I’m returning it to you—we’re even."

Long Fei gave a small laugh and lifted his head to look up.

Inside that mirror‑like Gate of Reincarnation, Thunder and Lightning flashed; the black fog around it rolled and churned, clearly showing signs of closing.

But outside, among the group of Disciples, for those who had gone in, very few were seen coming out.

The elites of each sect were the same, all standing with eyes closed, their Primordial Spirit Projection wandering, with no sign of returning.

"Why force what needn’t be forced?"

Looking at the crowd of Disciples, Long Fei let out a sigh, and an ancient bronze great bell slowly rose above his head.

Clang!

A single peal of the bell shook the four directions.

The bodies of the sect Disciples all jerked violently; with a chorus of screams, they woke one after another from the world of Reincarnation.

The mirror‑like Gate of Reincarnation overhead promptly closed; the wind on the field died at once, the heavy clouds dispersed, and everything returned to its original appearance.

The Disciples of the various sects stared blankly at their fellow sect members around them, feeling as if they had just awakened from a great dream—some in pain, some smirking foolishly, some wearing expressions of bitter regret, as though they had been about to obtain the Flower of Reincarnation, only to be jolted awake by that single bell strike.

The elite Disciples of each sect had Azure Lotus phantoms blooming above their heads.

Some had obtained one lotus, some had obtained two; no one, like Jiufeng, had Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

At this moment, the cavern trembled; the violent fluctuation of the Laws just now had already shaken its interior until it was fractured and split.

Now it could no longer bear the strain and was clearly showing signs of collapse.

Long Fei shouted to the crowd, "Move, quickly—the cave is going to collapse!"

The Disciples immediately fell into chaos, rushing along the path they had come from, fleeing out of the cavern in all directions.

Huge boulders kept falling from the roof of the cave, crashing down with a rumble and throwing up clouds of dust.

Jiufeng shouted straight at Long Fei, "You’re still not leaving?"

Long Fei smiled faintly, raised his hand, and slapped down, shattering the altar beneath him into powder.

Beneath the altar, a large pit was revealed.

Inside the pit was a妖艳—seductively beautiful—blood‑red flower.

The flower was two meters across, with three petals in all.

Under each petal, someone was actually sitting cross‑legged.

Jiufeng was startled and hadn’t yet reacted when Long Fei plucked the flower with one hand and took Jiufeng with him as he left the cave.

At the summit of the Kunlun Mountains, a group of old men watched the continually trembling peak with furrowed brows.

Dust was spewing out from the cave, already soaring nearly a thousand meters into the sky, spreading into a layer of smoke and ash in midair.

Someone asked Jiang Ziya, "Brother Jiang, you’re skilled at divination—does the outcome bode fortune or misfortune?"

Jiang Ziya’s brows knit tight. "Within misfortune lies fortune. The hexagram shows that a noble one will lend aid—there should be no problem."

Just as they were speaking, streaks of sword light rose one after another from halfway up the mountain, shooting continuously upward.

The Disciples of the various sects emerged in single file and landed one after another on the mountaintop.

All of them wore expressions of lingering fear on their faces, as if they had just made a trip to Ghost Gate Pass.

Someone anxiously shouted down to the old men below, "Master, I’ve broken through—I’ve gathered one flower above my head!"

Someone else crowed with delight, "I’ve got Two Flowers Gathering at the Top!"

"..."

The old men watched them, clapping in excitement. "The founding Patriarch blesses us, the founding Patriarch blesses us!"

The shaking of the mountain peak lasted only a single breath; then, with a thunderous crash, the entire peak sank down more than ten meters.

The smoke and dust billowed, taking a long time to disperse.

The Elders of the various sects let out long breaths of relief and immediately ordered people to tally the casualties.

Of over ten thousand elite Disciples who had entered, only half returned.

The elders’ faces were all full of shock; they had no idea what had happened inside. By their estimate, there would be losses, but it shouldn’t have been this severe!

Only after the Disciples exchanged accounts with one another did they finally learn that someone of the Kunlun Sect named Fei Long had opened the gate of Reincarnation, allowing the Disciples to enter Reincarnation and gain a great opportunity.

Jiang Ziya frowned. "This is my Kunlun cave estate—yet I didn’t even know there was a Great Reincarnation Formation inside?"

An Elder said, "In my sect, we have no Disciple named Fei Long at all."

The Kunlun Disciples were dumbfounded and hurriedly asked, "Elder Wang, he also brought a female Disciple with him, said her name was Fengjiu—does such a person exist?"

Elder Wang was completely at a loss. "No, none."
