Chapter 19: Our Martial Sister Bai Lian Is So Awesome!
The meditation tree is still just a normal tree.
Compared with the monster Blood Tree, it is a very common tree, but it is of great significance to the Zhuyan Peak.
A thousand years ago, a disciple of the Zhuyan Peak cultivated under the meditation tree. Unexpectedly, this cultivation made him realize the true meaning of life and death. From an unknown disciple, he quickly grew into the leader of the Duxian sect's younger generation. Therefore, the Zhuyan Peak was promoted to the fifth main peak.
If it wasn't because of a great disaster the Duxian sect had suffered that year and the disciple died in that disaster, that disciple would have risen to the Immortal World!
Since then, the meditation tree has been nicknamed "Tao Enlightenment Tree" and "The Tree of Life and Death".
At that time, the disciples of the Zhuyan Peak were strictly forbidden to go to the meditation tree without permission, but this didn't extinguish their desire.
Some disciples even deliberately made mistakes in order to be locked under the meditation tree.
But in the end, they gradually stopped coming.
This was not because of the leader of the Zhuyan Peak, nor was it the sect leader's order.
People have limits!
Those disciples gradually understood a truth after going to the tree——
"Human advancement cannot be generalized!"
That legendary disciple sat under the meditation tree for thirty days and realized the Tao of life and death.
After sitting under the tree for 30 days, other disciples only realized that the bed at home was more comfortable to sleep in.
As time passed, fewer and fewer people went to sit under the tree. Nowadays, few people still remember that it had the nickname "Tao Enlightenment Tree".
Wen Ren Ya Le accidentally discovered this story in the library.
She knew that with her qualifications, she would never be able to catch up with Bai Lian unless Bai Lian suddenly became as lazy as a pig.
After all, Martial Sister Bai Lian is a Natural Saint!
She must find another way to surpass Bai Lian.
Since she couldn't win by cultivating, she could only rely on a flash of inspiration!
The mediation tree, or the Tao Enlightenment Tree, is her latest attempt.
Wen Ren Ya Le wants to catch it.
However, it is a pity that she had been sitting under the meditation tree for several days and had not realized anything. She couldn't even meditate. Her mind was full of what happened in the Medicine Pavilion that day and of the battle between Bai Lian and Jiang Ning.
"Alas."
Wen Ren Ya Le sighed.
She fantasized about having a battle with Bai Lian.
She wondered if she could catch the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core Stage like Jiang Ning.
"Why was he so lucky?!"
Wen Ren Ya Le fixed her eyes on the thick tree in front of her.
Life, death, life, death…
Wen Ren Ya Le felt like she was about to cry.
At this moment, her hazy vision suddenly caught a touch of intoxicating white.
Wen Ren Ya Le took a deep breath and didn't spit it out.
Could it be that…
She realized something?!
This great surprise initially stunned Wen Ren Ya Le…
No, I must not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
She hurried to cheer up and observe closely. She saw a vivid ice butterfly suddenly appearing in front of the meditation tree.
The wings fluttered, emitting cold air.
Then, a second ice butterfly appeared, then the third and the fourth…
Is this "Life"?
Wen Ren Ya Le kept her eyes on it.
An ice butterfly landed on the trunk of the tree and immediately, the dry bark was covered with a layer of frost.
Then the ice butterfly dissolved in front of Wen Ren Ya Le.
Is this "Death"?
Wen Ren Ya Le nodded slightly.
It's so vivid.
But the problem was that she found that she didn't realize anything at all.
How could this be!!!
Wen Ren Ya Le was upset.
The treasure is right in front of her. Is she going to miss it like this?
But…
Wen Ren Ya Le fell to her knees.
_ (´□`」∠)_
No!
This problem is too difficult for her to solve!
In desperation, Wen Ren Ya Le finally understood why the book would write "Human advancement cannot be generalized".
She thought that there must be many people like her.
If everyone can understand the Tao of life and death, legends wouldn't be legends.
Wen Ren Ya Le turned over and lay on her back on the ground.
That's enough.
I shouldn't waste my time here!
For a time, her vision was full of dancing ice butterflies.
They are beautiful, but what is their use?
Wen Ren Ya Le gave a wry smile.
She looked through the dense ice butterflies, looked into the sky, and finally what fell into her vision was——
"Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian?"
Wen Ren Ya Le was stunned.
Behind the ice butterflies, Martial Sister Bai Lian was looking at her curiously.
Patter.
At the moment when Wen Ren Ya Le shouted, the ice butterflies in the sky turned into ice fog, like a bright starry night sky. The most striking star was the one in the corner of Bai Lian's eye.
So beautiful…
Wen Ren Ya Le was stunned.
It took her a long time to realize that it was not an illusion.
……
Bai Lian was curious.
At first, she tried to use her newly mastered spell [Butterfly dance] to attract Wen Ren Ya Le's attention.
Her plan succeeded.
As the ice butterfly received Wen Ren Ya Le attention. The girl and the butterfly slowly harmonize with each other along with the surroundings.
Wen Ren Ya Le started dancing randomly, she held the ice butterfly carefully, drifting along with air as she laid her head on the tree, kneeling down with her knee while performing an kowtow, laid on her back while gazing toward the vast blue sky as smile form on her face, and these action continue as if she was drunk on alcohol.
When Wen Ren Ya Le acted "crazy", Bai Lian clearly noticed that Yan Yue's fist was clenched.
Bullying my disciple in front of me?
No.
I didn't do it. I don't know what happened.
Really!
Bai Lian was speechless. She finally got Yan Yue to reduce her hostility toward herself.
But, she now suspected that Wen Ren Ya Le was deliberately framing her.
Hey!
You demon!
Bai Lian was furious. Why are there bad women everywhere in the Duxian sect?
At this time, Wen Ren Ya Le suddenly shouted out the sentence "Martial Sister Bai Lian". All the ice butterflies were broken. Bai Lian also saw new task options in front of her.
[Task 1: Confess your intentions and explain that the ice butterflies were a spell used to attract Wen Ren Ya Le's attention. (Reward: A top-grade magic tool - Three Souls Sacrifice Flag)]
[Task 2: Confess your intentions. (Reward: A bottle of Qi Gathering Pills)]
[Task 3: Beat Wen Ren Ya Le until she wakes up. (Reward: Hard Skill +5)]
"Well?"
Bai Lian wants to scratch her head. What are the tasks this time?
Am I hated by her? Why?!
Bai Lian was angry. She raised her right hand and shouted, "Sword!"
"Ah? Yes." Xiao Jinse quickly held out her sword.
Whoosh—
Bai Lian's let her divine sense grab the sword. It flew out and landed in Bai Lian's hands.
"What is this for?"
Next to the mediation tree, everyone looked at Bai Lian in bewilderment. Bai Lian drew out her Dirt Free Sword with her other hand and handed it to Wen Ren Ya Le.
"Take it!"
Wen Ren Ya Le thoughtlessly took the sword.
Bai Lian took a few steps back, distanced herself from Wen Ren Ya Le, and said, "That sword is the Dirt Free Sword, a medium-grade magic tool."
She pointed to the sword in her hand, "This sword is a nameless sword made of common iron."
Wen Ren Ya Le nodded.
Bai Lian held the sword in her right hand, pointed to Wen Ren Ya Le in the distance, and said calmly, "Fight me. Today, I'll only fight you with the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage!"
Wen Ren Ya Le was confused. She hurriedly asked, "Martial Sister Bai Lian, what is this…"
In the cold wind, Bai Lian's voice was sonorous and powerful, "Don't talk, act!"
Act!
It sounded like a bell in Wen Ren Ya Le's heart.
How can she cultivate if she always hesitates?
Hu ～
She understood.
Wen Ren Ya Le grasped the Dirt Free Sword, and she felt traces of Martial Sister Bai Lian on it.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian will only fight her with the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage. She has the possibility of winning, so fight!
"Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian, please!"
If Wen Ren Ya Le hadn't said this, Bai Lian estimated that Yan Yue would have stopped them.
Hum.
Demon girl, take this sword!
Bai Lian ran straight to Wen Ren Ya Le. Her speed was so fast that she instantly destroyed Wen Ren Ya Le's optimism.
"Why?"
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian dodged all the sword Qi she shot out. One of the sword Qi’s trajectories was clearly about to hit Martial Sister Bai Lian, but Bai Lian suddenly exhaled, and then her chest became as flat as a plate.
This is the use of the Soft Skill.
When Wen Ren Ya Le recovered, she found that she had exchanged several moves with Bai Lian.
Clang——
The violent vibration broke her wrist, and the Dirt Free Sword was taken away.
"It's over."
Bai Lian put the Dirt Free Sword around Wen Ren Ya Le's neck.
I lost.
But Wen Ren Ya Le was neither angry nor sad at all. In fact, this is a matter of course.
Was Jiang Ning defeated by this sword?
Compared with Jiang Ning, Martial Sister Bai Lian had to at least display the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage to fight her.
When Bai Lian took the sword back, Wen Ren Ya Le came out from under the meditation tree and bowed deeply.
In the distance, the elder Martial Sister who watched this scene was relieved.
Our Martial Sister Bai Lian is really awesome!
As soon as she came out, she easily brought out the younger Martial Sister Wen Ren Ya Le who was sitting under the tree and didn't want to come out. In this way, my Master wouldn't continue to look for trouble, right?
Congratulations.
[Task completed, Hard Skill +5]
Bai Lian was also relieved.
