NFBE Chapter 83 Farewell
Chapter 83 Farewell
In a desolate wilderness, Zhang Yunling took out the last spatial scroll, and with a flash of green light, his figure disappeared.
In the underground hall of the Thief Heaven Sect, Zhang Yunling slowly appeared, just in time to find Lin Wan'er, who was recovering from her injuries, holding a meeting with the sect members.
Upon seeing Zhang Yunling's sudden visit, Lin Wan'er's originally serious expression froze for a moment, then turned into excitement. After hastily concluding the meeting, she immediately rushed out of the crowd and threw herself into Zhang Yunling's arms.
"Brother Yunling! Why did you take so long to come? I missed you so much!" Lin Wan'er wrapped her arms tightly around Zhang Yunling's neck, and before Zhang Yunling could react, her cherry lips were right up to his face, and she kissed him several times.
Zhang Yunling awkwardly pushed her away gently and whispered, "Wan'er, you are the sect leader. There are so many people watching. You should be mindful of your image."
But having not seen each other for a long time, the two did miss each other. Zhang Yunling was also thinking of seeing his good sister before he left for the Immortal Ruins.
"How are the injuries you sustained while saving me?" Zhang Yunling asked with some concern.
"It's all fine, don't worry! Our Thief Heaven Sect has some resources, these minor injuries have long been healed!" Lin Wan'er said confidently, hands on her hips.
Zhou Hanping walked over at this moment, greeting Zhang Yunling with a big smile: "Young friend Yunling! Hahaha! It's all thanks to the magic weapon you gave me back then that the Sect Leader's injuries were healed so quickly. You've done a great job as an older brother!"
Zhang Yunling smiled and nodded. Seeing that everything was alright at the Thief Heaven Sect, he felt relieved and told the two of them about his upcoming trip to the Immortal Ruins.
Lin Wan'er dismissed the other disciples and then led Zhang Yunling to a nearby underground palace.
Although they lived deep underground, all the secret chambers and halls of the Thief Cult were spacious and luxurious. This was because they made a living by stealing, so money was the easiest resource to acquire.
Upon arriving at the council hall, which was specifically used to discuss important matters, Lin Wan'er still sat in the main seat, while Zhou Hanping and Zhang Yunling sat on her left and right, respectively. The three of them began a thorough discussion about the Immortal Ruins.
"Is this journey far more dangerous than I imagined? I once saw some descriptions of ancient immortal ruins in the Quanzhen Sect's scripture pavilion. After a human cultivator successfully transcends tribulation, his dantian undergoes a qualitative change, his spiritual roots are transformed into immortal veins, and his spiritual energy is transformed into immortal energy."
"That celestial ruins were formed from the fall of immortals, and are filled with celestial energy. Isn't that a good thing, allowing cultivators to come into contact with celestial energy before undergoing tribulation and ascending? So how can it be considered dangerous?"
Zhang Yunling asked Lin Wan'er and Zhou Hanping with great doubt. Based on his understanding of the Immortal Ruins recorded in the classics, the immortal energy not only would not harm cultivators, but would also greatly nourish their bodies and dantian, making it comparable to an opportunity.
But Lin Wan'er shook her head and explained in a deep voice, "That's not the case. Brother Yun Ling, you don't know, but for mortal cultivators who want to transcend tribulations and ascend to immortality, there is an extremely important condition: comprehending the Great Dao."
"The path to immortality has three thousand paths, with the three thousand great paths spreading throughout one's heart. When mortal cultivators step into the Nascent Soul Realm, they can begin to glimpse the power of the great paths, which is the minimum threshold for becoming an immortal. Only when they reach the Heavenly Tribulation Realm and fully comprehend and master the power of the three thousand great paths can they truly come into contact with immortal energy; otherwise, they will be completely torn apart by the overwhelming power of immortals."
Zhou Hanping then added, "And coincidentally, most Immortal Ruins come with a kind of barrier. Any cultivator with a cultivation level above the Nascent Soul stage who enters the Immortal Ruins will have their cultivation suppressed by this barrier. Therefore, many sects will send their younger disciples with lower cultivation levels to obtain opportunities."
Zhang Yunling's expression was solemn. The appearance of the Immortal Ruins would inevitably attract powerful figures from all walks of life. His own cultivation level was indeed not high. If cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage could participate, his current early Golden Core stage would seem too weak in comparison.
However, in addition to visiting Lin Wan'er, the purpose of this trip was also to discuss the matter of the space scroll.
"By the way, Sister Wan'er, I've used up all three space scrolls you gave me last time. Could you give me a few more? If I encounter danger in the Immortal Ruins in the future, I'll have some means to save my life."
Lin Wan'er smiled slightly. Although the Immortal Ruins were extremely dangerous, as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and she admired Zhang Yunling's courage.
"Of course, I have five more here, I'll give them all to you." Lin Wan'er took out five spatial scrolls from her storage bag and handed them all to Zhang Yunling.
"Thank you, Sister Wan'er, but I only need two. The Thief Heaven Sect's operations also rely heavily on spatial magic, so you should consider your sect's situation more." Zhang Yunling only picked up two and put them into his storage bag. Although he didn't particularly advocate for the Thief Heaven Sect's reliance on theft as its main means of development, he understood it.
Lin Wan'er didn't say much. She put away the remaining three scrolls, glanced at Zhou Hanping beside her, and the two of them smiled and nodded. Together, they instructed Zhang Yunling:
“Brother Yunling, wherever you want to go, Wan’er will never interfere. On the contrary, Wan’er will support you and be your strongest backing. This journey will be full of hardships, so please be careful and cautious. You must prioritize your own life. Opportunities can be sought again if you don’t get them, but if you lose your life, it’s all over. As long as you’re alive, you can always make a comeback.”
Zhang Yunling nodded vigorously. He understood his younger sister's concern and care for him, and he also understood that the old man Zhou Hanping felt a little embarrassed after receiving the jade bottle he had given him, which was why he had told him all this.
But he also understood that no one is kind to others for no reason; it's all about repaying kindness and settling scores, it's all about human relationships. Even though the cultivation world is incredibly cruel, he still adhered to one belief—the kindness of others must be repaid, but his own interests always come first.
