“I also know quite a bit. Would you like to learn, Junior Brother?” asked the lantern bearer.
“Learn to walk with your eyes closed?” Mi Lingyue asked.
“I can teach you how to walk with your eyes open,” Zhuang Yuzhen said.
“He can’t teach you how to walk with your eyes open.” Old Man Corpse Sea sneered.
The lantern bearer was speechless.
He was ridiculed in this way just because he lacked eyes.
He hoped that they would not go blind one day, or they would have to ask him for advice.
Jiang Hao ignored them. Instead, he asked about the basics of formations.
“Basics?” Mi Lingyue was stunned. “So many years have passed since I last taught you. You haven’t improved at all?”
Zhuang Yuzhen was also a little surprised.
“It shouldn’t be this poor even if you’ve spent most of your time cultivating. With the improvement of your cultivation, you should have come into contact with some formations. Sometimes, in order to advance, you have to use formations, so understanding them is important.”
Jiang Hao lowered his head.
He spent all his time cultivating, comprehending realms, and creating talismans.
He really did not spend any time on formations at all.
It was the same for forging and alchemy.
It was impossible for one person to learn everything.
One had to focus on learning important things.
His cultivation realm had risen very quickly, and he was fairly safe from dangers.
If it was not for the sake of becoming an immortal, he would not have bothered with formations.
There would always be a time in the future.
Unfortunately, he could not wait that long.
If he did not learn now, it might create difficulties while he tried to become an immortal.
He needed to learn everything important to become an immortal.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Formation, state of mind, cultivation, comprehension, etc. He had to learn every single one of them.
But was twenty years enough?
Regardless, he had to go all out.
There was no other choice. There was only this path ahead.
…
Five days later, in the East, a white-robed man sat cross-legged in a cave in the Bright Moon Sect. He resembled a lifeless statue.
At that moment, the light of the stars gathered around this body.
After a long time, the light completely fused into his body.
His body, which had been originally lifeless, suddenly seemed to have come alive.
As he breathed in and out, his body filled with life, and his aura surged.
After a moment, he opened his eyes.
He then smiled in satisfaction. “Looks like I succeeded. Unfortunately, this Free Form can only be used once.”
He slowly got up and walked out of the cave.
His strength recovered bit by bit.
But it was only for one-time use.
Once the power and strength were used up, it would be gone.
He walked toward the cave entrance and felt the sun’s warmth on his skin.
“The weather in the East is better than it was overseas.”
Xu Bai shook his head and left the cave with a smile.
He rode on his sword and arrived at the mountain gate.
“Greetings, Seniors.” Xu Bai bowed respectfully to the guards.
“Oh?” The woman was surprised. “Junior Brother, you’re back? But… this isn’t your main body.”
“I came back because I needed to do something. Oh, right… I need your help with something,” Xu Bai said softly. “I wonder if the people of the Divine Corpse Sect are already here.”
“The people from the Divine Corpse Sect will come here?” The man was curious.
“They will,” said Xu Bai. “They will bring news of Junior Sister Chu. Senior Brother, please send me a message when they arrive.”
“Where are you going, Junior Brother?” The two of them were puzzled.
“To the Winter of Heaven. Maybe I can get a gift for you from there?” Xu Bai said.
“A gift?” The woman looked concerned.
If Junior Brother Xu brought them a gift, it definitely would not be something ordinary.
The two of them anticipated something good from Xu Bai soon.
On the other side, in a city some distance away from the Bright Moon Sect, Qu Zhong sighed.
The journey was difficult.
They could vaguely sense that something was not right. It was as though something hidden was watching them.
They guessed that the chaos in the North was about to affect them all.
“Can we really expect help from them?” asked a middle-aged man.
“I think we can.” Qu Zhong nodded.
He could only say so. He just hoped that the mysterious man had not tricked them.
In fact, he, too, felt that it was impossible. The reason they all had agreed was because his Master was on his side.
If he did not manage to get anything out of this journey, he would be in danger.
They would arrive at the Bright Moon Sect in a few days. He hoped that the person had made some arrangements.
Unexpectedly, they had not encountered anything on this journey.
They continued forward.
“Qu Zhong, if this turns out to be useless, you do know the consequences of fooling your Elders…” said a woman.
“I know.” Qu Zhong frowned.
“It would be best if there is a way. At least then, we can return to the sect with some hope.” A man sighed.
Everyone fell silent.
In fact, many people hoped so.
It was not easy to travel to the East. If not for Qu Zhong’s Master, they would not have agreed to come here.
They all hoped that there was a solution to their problems here.
That way, they could return to the sect with hope.
In the past, they were not in a hurry to return to their sect. But things were different this time.
They wanted to go back and solve the sect’s problems.
“We will know the outcome in a few days.” The middle-aged man sighed.
After resting for a while, they continued toward the Bright Moon Sect.
…
At the Eastern Sky Abyss, Bai Yi rested for a few days. He felt that the statue was different from the rest.
As he meditated beside him, he felt a sense of enlightenment, as if he could find an answer to all the difficult problems he had faced in his cultivation.
Moreover, he could faintly sense an aura from it.
This was not a real statue. It was a person sitting cross-legged.
What kind of senior was this?
Bai Yi was surprised, but he did not dare disturb the senior.
This person’s cultivation was definitely much higher than his.
‘I can’t stay here for long.’ He thought.
Once the other party woke up, he would be in danger.
However, just as Bai Yi was about to continue up, the statue began to tremble.
There was a loud cracking sound.
Cracks appeared on the ice sculpture.
Bai Yi was shocked, but he knew that he had missed his chance. The only thing he could do was wait quietly.
Otherwise, there would be a disaster.
Crash!
The ice kept cracking and falling.
The face of the ice sculpture came into view.
The moment Bai Yi saw the other party’s true form, he frowned.
The person looked ugly. His face was distorted.
He might have had a tragic past.
If appearance was a testament to a person’s nature, then this person was not someone good.
Bai Yi was shocked.
If that was true, he could not fathom how cruel this person might be.
He did not dare to offend him.
However, to his surprise, the other party’s aura was unusually gentle.
It was not like someone from the demonic sect.
At that moment, the other party opened his eyes and noticed him.
“I, Junior Bai Yi, greet you, senior.” Bai Yi bowed to him.
It was better not to show an attitude while facing such a senior.
Otherwise, he would end up dead in this place.
There were countless experts in the East.
It was almost impossible to meet such a terrifying senior in the South.
“Fellow Disciple, did you also climb up from below?” Shang An asked as he touched his face. “I hope I didn’t scare you.”
“Senior, you must be joking,” Bai Yi said respectfully.
He felt that the senior before him was somewhat different from what he had guessed.
He was not a cruel person.
He might not even be from a demonic sect.
“I’m Shang An from the Clear Sky School.”
Shang An revealed his identity. That way, this person would be more at ease.
The Clear Sky School was an immortal sect.
Bai Yi was surprised. ‘Disciple Shang An?’
He had heard of this person before. He was supposed to be a legendary expert.
He never thought he would meet him here.
“You want to go up?” Shang An asked.
“I do.” Bai Yi nodded.
“I heard that there’s a pearl up there. It’s a waste to leave it there. If you want it, I’ll help you get it,” said Shang An politely.
“Senior, you still don’t know which sect I’m from, right?” Bai Yi smiled awkwardly.
He was from a demonic sect.
“That doesn’t matter.” Shang An looked up. “It’s fate that brought us here together. It doesn’t matter who is from where.”
Bai Yi was surprised.
“Senior, do you not want the thing up there for yourself?” Bai Yi asked.
“It’s of no use to me,” said Shang An.
The two of them continued to climb up.
Along the way, Shang An’s life force spread out and nourished Bai Yi. It made the climb easier.
They traveled fast, but the Sky Abyss was endless.
“Follow me. You might not be able to reach the top if you climb alone even for hundreds of years. However, as long as we find the right path, we can reach the highest point in a few days.”
