Chapter 496 I Want to Have a Good Dream
As soon as Dao Xuanzi finished speaking, the children who had been hoping to be selected into the immortal sect jumped into the golden vortex in the main venue, led by the disciples of Xuanhuang Sect.
At the same time, four crystal-clear water mirrors appeared before the disciples, allowing them to see the scenes within the illusion.
The Qingyun Sect Leader of the Long Sword Sect looked at Dao Xuanzi:
"Fellow Daoist Dao Xuanzi is truly generous, actually opening up the illusion of the Spirit Radiance Tree."
"In that case, that senior should have already awakened!"
Dao Xuanzi smiled gently at the Qingyun Sect Leader:
“Junior Uncle has been awake for more than ten years. Now is a time of crisis. It would be best to discover any problems with my mindset as soon as possible.”
Dao Xuanzi's words seemed to make no problem, but they involuntarily reminded all the powerful figures present of the same thing.
Those women who were rescued from the wasteland a year ago!
And those human-demons successfully cultivated by the demon race!
Tu Shanyan nodded slightly:
"We should indeed be cautious."
The woman's alluring eyes looked at Dao Xuanzi:
"Since it's difficult for demons to detect humans, shouldn't we, as elders, go inside and take a look?"
Dao Xuanzi continued the woman's words:
"That's absolutely right!"
The old man glanced gently at Xue Lan, his tone mild:
"The passage above is closed. Xue Lan, go find your Grandmaster Linghuang and go in to take a look!"
"In the art of expelling demonic energy, none of us are as good as you!"
Dao Xuanzi is right. After all, it was Xue Lan who managed to stabilize the abnormalities in those half-demon children.
All eyes turned to Xue Lan, who immediately stood up.
"I'll be right back!"
The woman in black transformed into a streak of light and departed. Dao Xuanzi received a telepathic message from Master Hengyang:
"Do we really have to stay within the illusion of the Spirit Radiance Tree?"
Dao Xuanzi's voice was deep:
"Only in the illusion of the Spirit Radiance Tree did I realize her deepest attachment to the Xuanhuang Sect."
The old man seemed to be convincing himself, his voice low and hoarse:
"This is for her own good!"
Xue Tong, who was above the clouds, followed Xue Lan the moment she saw her leave her seat, and finally blocked Xue Lan in front of the Spirit Radiance Tree.
The girl's skirt fluttered in the wind:
"What did your senior uncle ask you to do this time?"
Xue Lan slowly walked into the grotto beneath the Spirit Emperor Tree, speaking calmly as she went:
"He intends to sever my connection with the Xuanhuang Sect's lineage."
The woman stopped and saw Linghuang Zhenren standing in the middle of the cave.
The old man had gray hair and held a sword-shaped talisman in his right hand.
Xue Lan pointed at the talisman with great interest and said:
"That is the Xuanhuang Sword Talisman, which, like the Linghuang Tree, is the foundation of the Xuanhuang Sect."
Xue Lan's tone clearly carried a smile, but Xue Tong sensed that she was somewhat unhappy.
The girl tried to comfort Xue Lan:
"You are the most powerful Wolf King, aren't you? Only you can sever the connection between you and everything in the Yuanming Realm, can't you?"
"Just think of it as playing along with them."
Hearing the girl's words, Xue Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"It is indeed the case."
"but……"
The woman changed the subject.
"You always have to put on an act."
This is meant to give an explanation to the elders who are reluctant to part with their children but have to pretend to be heartless.
"Alright, just wait here. I'll be fine."
The woman patted Xue Tong's head and gave him some instructions before walking towards Master Linghuang.
Linghuang Zhenren is the one in the Xuanhuang Sect who has wronged Xue Lan the most.
Ever since Xue Lan questioned him about the chess player and the Demon Heart Seed Dao on that moonlit night, he had been somewhat intimidated by his grand-disciple.
Xue Lan walked up to Linghuang Zhenren, a sweet smile playing on her lips:
"Grandmaster, I've come to sever the connection between our lineage and our sect."
His tone was calm, as if he were talking about something insignificant, but it startled Master Linghuang.
Sometimes, a calm surface hides a raging storm.
The old man looked at the woman in front of him and said awkwardly:
"Actually, there's no need to be so anxious."
"Why don't you play a game of chess with your grandmaster first?"
Xue Lan smiled and said:
“Grandmaster, there aren’t many people in the Xuanhuang Sect who dare to challenge me to a game of chess.”
The woman's voice was gentle:
"Grandmaster, you may begin!"
I want to have a good dream!
Master Linghuang was stunned for a moment:
"You all know?"
The woman before him was dressed in black, and a weariness that Linghuang Zhenren had never seen before appeared in her eyes:
"Using the Spiritual Illusion to see the longing in my heart, I will sever it with the Profound Radiance Sword Talisman."
"Grandmaster, I really want to have a good dream."
Linghuang Zhenren's heart skipped a beat. The old man sighed softly and raised his hand to point a finger at Xue Lan's brow.
A pale golden light rippled between the woman's brows, like a small circle of waves.
The old man's voice was gentle:
"Then... have a good dream!"
A warm feeling flowed slowly from between her brows, and Xue Lan closed her eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, all I saw was pure white.
That was the unchanging snowfield of the Northern Region, with the distant snow-capped mountains radiating golden light under the sunlight.
Xue Lan walked slowly in front of the snow and saw a small, white figure standing by the frozen lake not far away. A faint sound of crying reached her ears.
After taking a few steps forward, Xue Lan could see the little guy's face clearly.
It was a little girl with white hair who looked about seven or eight years old, with a pair of ice-blue eyes, and her mouth was slightly open, missing two teeth.
So much so that he speaks with a lisp:
"Who are you... and why do you look just like me?"
They look... alike?
Xue Lan subconsciously looked down and saw her shrunken hands and feet.
This is……
It feels like I've gone back to my childhood.
Xue Lan rubbed her temples and looked at the white-haired girl opposite her.
The beautiful dream created by the True Man Linghuang brought her back to the Northern River of her previous life.
At that time, Xue Lan was not yet the all-powerful Lord Changjun, but just a little girl who was secretly shedding tears by the frozen lake because she was losing her baby teeth.
Xue Lan looked at the little girl with tears in her eyes:
"I am you!"
Xiao Xuelan looked at the person opposite her who looked exactly like her:
"You are not me, there is only one me in the world!"
"You're a monster!"
Xue Lan hadn't expected herself to be so cute as a child, and couldn't help but laugh as she spoke:
"Aren't you a monster too?"
The little girl wiggled her two big, snow-white ears on her head:
How do you know I'm a monster?
Xue Lan: "Guess?"
Is this a beautiful dream?
Xue Lan thought to herself.
Why cry over losing a tooth?
Xue Lan's aura of the Silver Moon Wolf was obvious. The little girl smiled and spoke to her:
"Because without teeth, I can no longer help my father, protect my mother and brother. Who exactly are you?"
Xue Lan tilted her head and looked at the little girl, her tone extremely solemn:
"I am you!"
"I am you from the future!"
