Chapter 28: Forever Inseparable Through All Eternity
After setting the Cloud Chasing Boat to autopilot, Bai Lian went to the side of the Sansheng Stele fragments.
The vibration of the stele came from deep within.
She only glanced at it and knew that the source came from the Fourth Martial Sister.
Her white and round soul pierced into Yu Ying Sword which was deeply embedded in the Sansheng Stele.
A ray of milky-white light emanated from the tip of the sword.
The light spread like flowing water, wrapping the whole sword in the blink of an eye.
Buzzzzz….
The blade vibrated lightly, producing a faint humming sound.
The white light was so intense that in a moment, even Bai Lian standing outside was swallowed up by the white light.
Warm.
It's like lying in the grass on a spring afternoon, carefree and sunbathing.
When Bai Lian opened her eyes again, she found that she had flown to the clouds.
Not more than half a foot away from her was a three-foot-long thin sword, gently floating there.
The gentle breeze blew on her face.
No one spoke, but Bai Lian knew that was the fourth Martial Sister who inherited the legacy from the Sansheng Stele.
The fourth Martial Sister floated.
In an instant, a dense thundercloud appeared in the clear sky.
The black clouds were as dark as ink, and lightning snakes flew in the clouds. One could also see thin strands of red light flowing out from the cracks.
"Golden Core Disaster!"
Bai Lian understood.
The fourth Martial Sister had just gained her stroke of luck, the lowest grade of Heavenly Thunder Disaster couldn't cause any damage to her.
The flickering electric light pounded onto her, only making her "body" become even smoother, tighter, and harder.
Wait until the clouds dispersed and the wind died down.
The air around Yu Ying swelled with anticipation.
She was just a novice at the Foundation Establishment Stage. In the blink of an eye, she had broken through to the peak of the Golden Core Stage. If it wasn't for her Nascent Soul was still too weak, she could have stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage in one go.
It won't be long before that day comes.
If she stayed in retreat at the Duxian sect for ten and a half days, she could break through that barrier.
Bai Lian was very satisfied.
After all, it is the legacy left behind by the Original Dragon.
After reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, the fourth Martial Sister can handle everything on her own.
In the younger generations of the Duxian Sect today, there are only a few people with this cultivation base, and all of them are older than the fourth Martial Sister.
So, the Fourth Martial Sister is the first of the younger generation!
This is the glory of the Qingming Peak.
When she thought of here, Bai Lian's nose suddenly felt a bit sour for some unknown reason.
She feels as if it has been a long time since then.
But when counting the fingers, it has only been two and a half years since she brought the Second Martial Sister into the Duxian sect.
For mortals, the passing of each year seems heavy.
For cultivators, a closed-door cultivating can take hundreds of years.
Two and a half years is not a long time.
But that's enough to change a lot of things.
Two and a half years ago, she was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but people boasted that she could tear apart a snake dragon and trample the Demon King.
Two and a half years later, she had already successfully entered the peak of the Soul Changing Stage, which made all the geniuses blush in shame at her cultivation speed.
Two and a half years ago, she was afraid of the Martial Sisters and hoped that they would not pester her.
Two and a half years later, she had already taken the initiative to act on behalf of the Martial Sisters.
Two and a half years ago…
Here, Bai Lian must nominate and praise the system that she has scolded countless times.
Without it, she surely would not have been able to avoid so much danger, and it was very likely that she would have been killed in her first meeting with the Second Martial Sister.
Even the "Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian" in the game didn't do as many dangerous things as her.
After all, games are games and reality is reality.
In the game, no matter what you do, as long as you don't trigger the preset plot and don't challenge those bosses, you won't die.
What is going on with this system?
Bai Lian tried to ask the system, but the system remained unresponsive as usual.
Let's wait and see.
Bai Lian didn't continue to go into further detail because the call of the Fourth Martial Sister drew her attention.
Yu Ying's feelings of excitement are unprecedented.
That night, when she was saved from the hands of the assassin sent by Marquis Wu'an, she had never been as excited as she is now.
At that time, there were more emotions of being moved.
Since her mother passed away, she became rootless duckweed but Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian disregarded the difficulties and brought her back to the Duxian sect, letting her regain the feeling of home.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is like the moon that illuminates the path ahead in the darkness for her.
Ever since then, Yu Ying has been looking forward to embracing the moon.
Now she has successfully taken the first step.
She not only gained immense strength from the inheritance she received, but also unlocked new abilities.
[Refining]
She can finally be used by Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian!
Yu Ying knows that this road is rough and rugged.
But she doesn't care.
The rougher the road, the greater the joy that comes from making it through.
Even if there was no happiness only suffering, it would still be alright as long as she could get closer to Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.
As for whether she can enter…
Yu Ying is looking forward to it, but not forcing it. She has never been a person of strong character.
"Elder Martial Sister, let's sign the contract!"
At that moment, Yu Ying's voice echoed in Bai Lian's mind.
Contract?
Bai Lian paused for a moment.
Seeing the fourth Martial Sister stretch out her Divine Sense, after a moment of hesitation, she also extended her Divine Sense.
Two streams of Divine Sense intertwined in mid-air like a pair of intimate lovers.
Passion is burning.
At first glance, it seems like ants communicate through antennae, but the mystery behind it is not something that can be easily explained in a few words.
Bai Lian calmed down.
She finally understood what the fourth Martial Sister meant.
She is missing a sword, and the fourth Martial Sister is willing to be her sword, helping her cut a bloody path through countless dangers!
It's impossible to say she's not moved.
But Bai Lian soon extracted herself from the emotion because the fourth Martial Sister explained in detail the use of the [Refining] ability to her.
[Refining]: Strength can be increased by consuming refining materials or Magic Treasures.
"What?"
Bai Lian was stunned at that moment.
This is an unpredicted new path!
In the game, the fourth Martial Sister was picked up by her from Xingluo Fortress. At that time, she had been bullied and had given up looking for the Sword Master, let alone using the broken sword to turn herself into a sword.
Bai Lian made a decision quickly.
Try.
Try it!
She doesn't have many materials for refining equipment, but she has collected hundreds of Flying Swords for the purpose of forming the Tianshu Sword Array.
Bai Lian took out all the swords at once.
"Give."
The fourth Martial Sister didn't refuse.
She was hungry and thirsty right now, so as long as Bai Lian gave it to her, she wanted it.
And then a miraculous scene appeared.
These Flying Swords all turned into liquid and then drilled directly into the body of the fourth Martial Sister.
Ka-ka-ka-ka!
With a sudden jolt, Bai Lian's eyes lit up like light bulbs.
“(★)ｖ(★)”
Although the degree of hardening wasn't much, the fourth Martial Sister did indeed become harder after eating her swords!
What else is there to hesitate about?
Bai Lian was being frugal because she was trying to save money for her younger sister.
Since she is feeding her fourth Martial Sister, there is no need to be thrifty.
She is like a machine operating at full power, tirelessly feeding the fourth Martial Sister with Flying Swords.
Half a quarter of an hour later, half of the Flying Swords in Bai Lian's hand were gone.
Just as she was hesitating whether or not to feed the Dirt Free Sword to the fourth Martial Sister, the fourth Martial Sister immediately stopped her.
"No, Elder Martial Sister, I can't continue anymore; my stomach is already too full; if I eat any more I will be stuffed to death."
Yes.
Too much is worse than not enough.
Bai Lian put away the Dirt Free Sword.
Young people have to learn to moderate their behavior. The fourth Martial Sister had a clear plan, which pleased her greatly.
What made her even happier was the change in the fourth Martial Sister.
The fourth Martial Sister's cultivation base had still not broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, but even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would find it hard to hurt her.
"This money is well spent."
When reminiscing, Bai Lian remembered the game setting.
Unlike other Martial Sisters, in the game, the fourth Martial Sister has an extremely strong "digestion" ability after receiving the Original Dragon's heritage. In order to quickly increase her strength, she takes a different path, relying on "eating people" to become stronger all the way.
It is also because of this that she was very easy to lose control during battles, thus earning her the nickname of "Crazy Dragon War God".
But now?
Eating human beings has become eating swords.
The fourth Martial Sister changed into an Iron-Eating Beast.
Bai Lian doesn't know if this change is good, but at least, without changes, she would not be able to save her master.
Come on!
Bai Lian secretly crossed her fingers.
Give grass to the jade rabbit, give iron to the Fourth Martial Sister, and give medicine to the Master.
The burden is still very heavy.
Then…
Riding on the jade rabbit, holding the Fourth Martial Sister in her hands, and embracing Master in her arms…
Yay!
Bai Lian clenched her fists excitedly.
"Let's sign the contract!"
"Hmm."
She solemnly nodded her head.
When the white light connected the path between her and Bai Lian, she silently recited her own oath in her heart.
This life.
No matter poverty or wealth, no matter illness or health, we will stay together forever!
