Chapter 390 Destruction and Reconstruction
Chapter 390 Destruction and Reconstruction
Her senior uncle really said many times, "Come back safely!"
Xue Lan thought to herself.
Since more than ten years ago, every time Xue Lan left the sect, Master Shen Suan would say the same thing.
The old man guarded the small peach tree on Suandao Peak, fearing that Xue Lan would never return.
Xue Lan looked into Shen Suan Zhenren's gentle eyes; beneath his droopy eyelids lay a kind and compassionate heart.
The woman nodded slowly, her voice light and carefree:
"Don't worry, Master Uncle. Xue Lan will not only return home safely, but will also inherit the legacy of the Ten Thousand Crafts Workshop and find a way to save the world."
Shen Suan Zhenren nodded repeatedly: "Good, good, good."
After saying "good" three times in a row, the old man exchanged a glance with Dao Xuanzi beside him:
"Your master has something to say to you. Let Xiaotong accompany me for a walk."
Xue Lan nodded: "Okay, Senior Uncle."
Xue Tong was surprised that Master Shen Suan would suddenly mention her. The girl glared at Xue Lan, then walked towards Master Shen Suan with a sweet smile.
"Master, where do you want to go?"
Shen Suan Zhenren couldn't help but smile as he looked at the girl's expression: "You can just wander around."
The two slowly walked out of Xue Lan's small courtyard and strolled through the autumn scenery of Chong Gu Village.
"Actually, I've always been curious about where Xue Lan found you."
The old man's voice carried a teasing chuckle, which made Xue Tong's heart clench.
The girl smiled awkwardly and spoke, her expression somewhat unnatural:
"It was just a chance encounter."
"You know Xue Lan well; you should know that she never gets close to strangers."
Shen Suanzhen, dressed in a gray robe that accentuated the desolate autumn scenery, calmly exposed Xue Tong's lie.
Faced with such a clearly targeted question, Xue Tong immediately began searching for memory erasure within his system space.
It's not good for Shen Suanzhen, who is not the host, to have discovered too many things he shouldn't know.
The light blue data kept changing in the girl's space, like a rushing river.
With just a flick of her finger, the girl could silently erase from the mind what Shen Suan Zhenren had noticed.
However, Xue Tong did not make a move immediately.
She wanted to know what Dao Xuanzi wanted to say.
"Xiaotong...don't be afraid."
The old man stroked Xue Tong's head as if he were stroking Xue Lan's head:
"I am not here to question you."
"I just want to tell you some things that Xue Lan doesn't know."
Shen Suanzhen's voice was hoarse, like that of a withered tree.
"Many years ago, Yuan'er and I had already connected with heaven and earth through our own destinies, and started an unprecedented divination in the Yuanming lower realm."
"This battle has lasted for more than a decade. I am also nearing my death."
Upon hearing this, Xue Tong spoke somewhat nervously:
"I will tell Xue Lan."
Shen Suan Zhenren shook his head:
"You won't tell her, let me finish."
"This divination must be in harmony with Yin and Yang, and connect with the destiny of Heaven, Earth and Humanity, all for the purpose of finding the Yuanming Realm."
"Now I know the vague answer, do you know what it is?"
Xue Tong shook his head: "Master, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. You are not well, so it's best not to say anything."
The shrewd and calculating master smiled and said, "It's alright. I'm tough. I won't be punished by heaven for these ambiguous words."
"Besides, Heaven owes me!"
Heaven owes him a few lively and lovely children.
"Among the divination results I obtained, there is only one word."
Xue Tong swallowed hard and spoke somewhat nervously:
Which word?
Shen Suan Zhenren chuckled softly, the gentle smile vanishing from his voice, replaced by a silent, resolute killing intent:
"It's nothing more than breaking down and then rebuilding!"
……
When Xue Tong returned to Xue Lan's courtyard, the woman had already seen Dao Xuanzi off and was sunbathing on a recliner in the courtyard.
Hearing Xue Tong's soft footsteps, Xue Lan spoke from afar:
What did my senior apprentice say to you?
Xue Tong paused slightly: "It's about some things concerning you."
Seemingly realizing that her words weren't natural enough, the girl quickly added:
"When you were little, you were practically alive but not quite dead. How did you turn into this chatterbox you are now?"
Xue Lan sighed:
"Perhaps this is the power of time."
After saying this, Xue Lan jumped off the recliner and quickly walked to Xue Tong.
Why do you seem a little unhappy?
Xue Tong quickly retorted, "I didn't!"
Xue Lan waved her hand: "I thought I was about to enter the Ten Thousand Crafts Workshop, and you were worried about me."
"What's there to worry about? Aren't I going in with you?" Xue Tong asked, somewhat puzzled.
Xue Lan shook her head: "Xiao Tong, I don't plan to take you in this time."
Xue Tong's expression froze: "What?"
"There is no system in the world that allows for overseas deployment."
In the sun-drenched courtyard, Xue Tong looked at the people across the street and felt a surge of anger.
"Don't you often help me with errands?" Xue Lan tilted her head, a smile of innocence on her face.
"Honey, please don't play the victim here!"
Xue Tong defeated magic with magic, showing utmost impartiality.
"There's really no other way. My senior master brought me some news. The Five Porcelain Town, which was marked as the location of the Apocalypse Pillar on the adventure map where I went missing, doesn't actually have the Apocalypse Pillar!"
Xue Tong immediately perked up:
"That shouldn't be the case. The conditions for the Demon God's sacrifice are extremely harsh. Logically speaking, the Pillar of Revelation should have always been there."
"That's the strange thing. The headmaster master searched the Five Porcelain Town thoroughly, but still couldn't find the Heavenly Revelation Pillar."
Xue Tong felt a chill run down her spine: "Could it be a hidden realm?"
Xue Lan shook her head slightly:
"The Moonflower Daoist of the Crimson Cloud Sect also went to look, but still couldn't find the Heavenly Revelation Pillar."
This matter is extremely bizarre; if not handled properly, it could affect the entire situation in the Yuanming Lower Realm.
Xue Tong nodded: "Okay, I'll go check for you, but you need to be careful when you're alone in Wan Gong Fang."
Xue Lan beamed and playfully ruffled Xue Tong's hair.
"You're so cute!"
"Are you really not hiding anything from me?"
Xue Tong felt a cold sweat on his back.
"There really aren't any left!"
The girl remembered Shen Suanzhen's instructions.
"Once the divination is initiated, there is no reason for it to stop."
"If Lanlan can become the one who forges the heavens, I will have no problem."
"Don't tell her."
She had already promised him; lying to an old man is not a good habit.
Xue Lan nodded:
"Then I'll trust you this once!"
Xue Tong breathed a sigh of relief, but failed to notice the fleeting smile on Xue Lan's lips.
Within Xue Lan's sea of consciousness, the inner demon slowly spoke:
"Has the child grown up?"
"More or less, most likely my senior martial uncle." Xue Lan sighed.
"They're all starting to get cunning."
