Chapter 45: Antique?_i
Translator: 549690339 |
The sacred army of the Three Absolutes Holy Land had already made its way into the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range.
Gazing at the collapsed expanses of the Cangli Mountain Range ahead, every face bore an eager, restless expression.
“The Immortal Artifact left by our ancestor is within this mountain range.”
“Should we obtain it, we shall reforge supreme glory; the entire Xuantian Realm will acknowledge our preeminence!”
“I can hardly wait,” someone said.
Leading the vanguard of the sacred army were, astonishingly, the seven Supreme figures!
Saint Changsun Liancheng stood before the seven Supremes, his eyes shimmering with an ambitious, cold smirk.
“That earth-shattering Sword Dao that appeared earlier could have been the release from the ancestor’s Immortal Artifact!”
“After all, our ancestor gleaned the Supreme Sword Dao from his calligraphy— it is he alone who would dare to possess such terrifying sword intent!”
He spoke.
At these words, the six Supremes behind him all nodded, their desire to seize the relics of the Three Absolute Immortal growing even more urgent.
“Spread the word to all beings in the Cangli Mountain Range, announce our arrival!”
Changsun Liancheng commanded icily.
Immediately, a Supreme shouted:
“We of the Three Absolutes Holy Land have come for vengeance!”
“The culprits who harmed our Holy Land’s Tie Ming and Shi Tai, show yourselves and meet your doom!”
This was their banner, their reason for mobilization.
Now that they had reached the Cangli Mountain Range, it was naturally time to declare their intentions.
“Advance towards the Cangli Mountain Range!”
After spreading the message, Changsun Liancheng gestured with his hand and continued forward.
They were now inching closer to the small mountain village where Li Fan resided.
Meanwhile.
“We have received great kindness from Senior Li, to not offer our thanks would be gravely discourteous. We ask these sacred envoys to convey our regards on our behalf.”
Stepping out of the Cangli Mountain Range, the Spirit Transcendence Venerable and others spoke up again before departing.
Reverence and eagerness shone boldly in their eyes.
Such was the being who could slay a True Immortal; to behold him even once in a lifetime was an unimaginable stroke of immortal fate.
“We are aware that we must not disturb the honored elder’s meditative tranquility, so the rest are waiting ten li away from the elder’s retreat,” the Primordial Yang Venerable also said.
The white-haired woman looked towards Mu Qianning.
This made Mu Qianning hesitate momentarily.
She was unsure of what to do.
“Perhaps Senior Li still has need of them. Let things take their course,” said Yu Qishui, “just guide the few of them into the village. If Senior Li declines to meet them, they can then depart.”
Mu Qianning immediately replied, “Very well, then please follow me.”
Thereupon, the other Supremes with their entourage stopped ten li outside the small mountain village.
Meanwhile, Mu Qianning and two others led the white-haired woman and the two Saint Masters into the village.
They entered the small mountain village.
“The Cangli Mountain Range has collapsed, yet this place remains so serene and undisturbed—it truly is miraculous…” the Spirit Transcendence Venerable exclaimed in admiration.
“A place of reclusion for a peerless powerful being, I can already faintly sense the numerous principles contained within this tranquility,” remarked the Primordial Yang Venerable with great solemnity.
The white-haired woman’s cool gaze swept over every plant and tree in the village, and a hint of longing surfaced in her beautiful eyes.
The ordinary mountain people toiling in the fields.
The blond-haired children frolicking by the roadside.
The white-haired elderly basking in the sun within the courtyards.
It all exuded an air of rare tranquility and peace.
“Even as mortals, they possess opportunities and happiness even immortals yearn for but cannot obtain…”
She murmured with envy.
Before long, the group finally arrived in front of Li Fan’s courtyard.
“Wu’erXianting!”
The plaque, handwritten by Li Fan himself, appeared before their eyes, and they were all instantly astonished.
“These four characters contain such distinct Sword Dao…”
Spirit Transcendence Venerable murmured.
Unlike “One Sword Suppressing the South Heavens,” which boasted a peerless, awe-inspiring presence that shook the Immortal Domain, these four characters represented an ultimate freedom and carefree spirit, as though transcending time and space.
Mysterious and unfathomable.
“The great being who resides within, this is but a leisurely courtyard, yet for the common people, it is a terrifying world.”
The silver-haired woman’s eyes sparkled with fascination, and at this moment, she felt more certain than ever about her previous decision—it was exceedingly wise!
All notions of True Immortal’s Blood, despite its potential to grant immortality, seemed like mere dust compared to the fateful encounters of this place!
Hardly worth mentioning!
Mu Qianning stepped forward, knocked on the door, and asked, “Is Senior Li in?”
Inside the courtyard,
Zi Ling was painting. Over the past few days, she had drawn the egg before her hundreds of times and had gradually begun to perceive subtle patterns previously unnoticed. The egg in her eyes was no longer the same egg, fueling her excitement and deepening her fascination with painting the egg.
Meanwhile, Nan Feng was playing the zither, with melodious tunes flowing gracefully. Compared to her first performance, many flaws in her music had vanished, becoming ever more seamless.
Just after Li Fan had finished cutting meat to feed the cat, he heard Mu Qianning’s voice outside and immediately said, “Yes, come in.”
Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit, among others, then entered.
Li Fan smiled and asked, “How is everything? All going smoothly?”
He figured that with his calligraphy and painting, even grand exhibitions or auctions wouldn’t be a challenge for them.
At those words, Fire Spirit bowed respectfully and said, “Thank you, Senior, for your calligraphy and painting, everything has gone smoothly.”
“In addition, we’ve also obtained these two items, specially brought for you, Senior.”
She and Mu Qianning presented a zither and a brush.
Upon seeing these two items, Nan Feng and Zi Ling were both shocked.
“Are these… the brush and zither of the Ancestor?”
Zi Ling looked dumbfounded.
Nan Feng was murmuring, “The treasures the Holy Land has sought for countless years without a glimpse, now actually laid before someone…”
They were both from the Three Absolutes Holy Land, and within it, there were countless replicas of these two Immortal Artifacts. Even though they had never seen the originals, they recognized them at first glance.
Li Fan turned to them and asked, “What’s the matter? Do you recognize them?”
Nan Feng nodded and said, “Our Ancestor used this zither and this brush.”
“A thousand years ago, when the Ancestor left, we’ve been searching for the zither and brush but never found a trace.”
She was candid.
Hearing this, Li Fan immediately understood.
So these were antiques that were over a thousand years old!
Tsk tsk, they must be quite valuable…
It seems Fire Spirit and the others have started to make money from their business, so out of gratitude and knowing his fondness for playing music and calligraphy, they specially bought these millennium-old antiques as a gift?
Actually, there was no need for such grand gestures; Li Fan could tell at a glance that these so-called ancient relics were merely average, their workmanship and material weren’t even as good as his own…
But no matter how you looked at it, it was a gesture from Fire Spirit and the others, and since it happened to have a connection with Nan Feng and Zi Ling, Li Fan said, “Well then, thank you very much.”
He smiled towards Zi Ling Nan Feng and said, “Zi Ling Nan Feng, since these two items are fated for you, you should keep them.”
After all, these two items were much better than what Zi Ling and Nan Feng were currently using.
On hearing this, Zi Ling Nanfeng were instantly shocked. Were they giving these to them?
These were Immortal Artifacts…
Their teacher… was too very generous, wasn’t he?!
