Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 549 Goodbye

Can she give up the convenient space which she has used for hundreds of years?

After hearing Black Tortoise's words, Lin Luoran lowers her head and touches the sacred pearl on her wrist. When she was at the bottom of her life, her studies were a failure and she was betrayed. At that time, she couldn't support her parents while her rival in love was always trying to ruin her. It was the sacred pearl space that opened another window for her life.

She still remembers the two barren overgrown fields when she had space in the first place.

It was she who cleaned the lawn little by little. She planted fleece flowers, ginseng, cabbage, pepper, medicinal materials, vegetables, fruit trees, etc. She made the space into a portable paradise.

Every time she has a breakthrough in her personal ability, the space also develops.

Originally, it was just two wastelands. When she broke through the late Gathering Vitality period, the space had a medicine field of dozens of acres as a small world with mountains, flowing water, beautiful grass, lush trees, jumping fish, and singing birds.

Can she do it?

She must feel reluctant. The sacred pearl space has indirectly witnessed how she has advanced step by step for hundreds of years. She was just a female cultivator in the city who did not even know how to train Qi. Clutching her own immortal luck, she has become a powerful cultivator who can't be trapped in this world.

Liao sighs. Lin Luoran is an affectionate person. She has spent a lot of effort in developing a world of blessedness. She may not even abandon any plant or tree here. What's more, four monsters are living in the space. She has had a friendship with fire phoenix and silver fish for hundreds of years. In Lin Luoran's mind, they are just like her family.

However, Lin Luoran only keeps silent for a short while, and then she smiles, "Originally, the sacred pearl space was not mine. I am very lucky to have it. Now I am willing to give it up to do the right thing. Senior cultivator, you have to sacrifice all your personal abilities. However, giving up the space doesn't even hurt my foundation. I should neither be hypocritical nor greedy."

Black Tortoise nods, "You really should not depend on other things for enhancing your personal ability. Now that you have made a choice, others shouldn't say more."

It stealthily gives Liao a warning look, telling him that this is the end, and he should not make trouble.

The natural spirit plant of Black Tortoise is just an ordinary brown bamboo joint.

Lin Luoran feels sad. Mu Tiannan covers her eyes with his right hand, "Don't look."

Lin Luoran only feels that the surrounding plants all fall down and the scene is very sad. She hears the thunder rumbling in her ears. After a long time, the storm stops. When Mu Tiannan moves away his palm, Lin Luoran can't find Black Tortoise's huge body.

The short brown bamboo joint exudes the pure energy of the Earth, and one bamboo sprouts after the wind and rain.

A tortoiseshell as big as a palm is left next to the bamboo of the Earth. It is washed clean by the rain, exuding a simple and deep breath.

Liao frowns. The old tortoise even destroys its own flesh and blood. It really sees through everything.

Lin Luoran kneels down on the muddy ground. Following the root system of the bamboo joint, she carefully digs it out integrally. The primordial spirit of Black Tortoise has attached to the bamboo of the Earth. Lin Luoran takes it into space. The space changes dramatically. Then she hass separated from the sacred pearl space once again.

Lin Luoran puts away the tortoiseshell as a souvenir in silence. The three of them stand there for a long time.

Monsters have been in the Lost Land for ten thousand years. They all celebrate happily when they notice the threat of the "jailer" has disappeared.

Liao snorts coldly. These idiots don't get smarter after being locked up for so many years. Momo and Black Tortoise were both soft-hearted. However, the robe never knew what a "soft-heart" was. Without Black Tortoise as the jailer, if they try to escape from Lost Land and violate this world's rule, their primordial spirit will be totally destroyed.

"Let's go."

On the one hand, Liao feels delighted that Lin Luoran has collected the five elements so she finally gets rid of the burden on her shoulders. On the other hand, he is worried about the "covenant" that will soon be fulfilled.

Should he tell Linny?

Liao has struggled for a long time. Lin Luoran is in a bad mood at this moment, so he still decides to keep silent.

He hopes that she can truly choose her own life. If he contributes to it, won't it be against his original intention?

Then just let nature take its course.

White light flashes, and the three of Lin Luoran disappear.

…

It's really the time for her to leave.

When Lin Luoran is allowed to enter the space again, she can feel the endless cycle of the five elements. She knows that they are really leaving the earth.

Everyone is in low spirits.

However, they also know that the whereabouts of the Lins family is only one of the reasons. The earth has been exhausted. It will not be suitable for personal ability enhancement for a long time to come. Even if the "wound" can be healed by time, it is doomed to choose another civilization eventually.

The image of new Dongting City is very similar to the childhood memories of the siblings of the Ma family, but it's also kind of different.

They grew up in slums. In Ma Yiming's memory, he kept escaping with his sister when he was young. Those days were really gloomy. He thought he only hated to part with the warm Mas' villa when he left. However, when he recalls how they escaped together in the dark alleys with Ma Shuangshuang on his back, such kind of memories are also warm at this moment.

Colin goes back to Caesar in his spare time. The Weirs family has moved to the earth and gained a foothold on the earth. However, all the extravagant and drunken old days in Colin's memory all happened on this defeated Caesar star.

He is a Caesar with double pupils. When he came to the earth for adventures, he never thought that he would be rescued by Lin Luoran. He then haunted her without caring about anything else. He then actually got a unique lucky chance.

He is Colin Weir. On the earth or in some other unknown places, no Weirs could have known that Weir was a nobody in the past but now he has become the most talented person of the family.

Han Weiya's father passed away peacefully, and the man she loved did not get lost in power. He was a legend during his lifetime, and he still had a good reputation after his death.

After sweeping the tombs of Han Kuisheng and Mr. Pang, Han Weiya is actually the person who feels the least regrettable.

Bai Qingxue has been to Misty Peak, the Mount Everest covered with white snow. There used to be a group of female cultivators who drank the purest snow water in the world and talked about Tao and personal ability enhancement all day long. They were not affected by the dark side of the personal ability world. What a happy and worry-free life it was! Now everything has changed. Misty Peak is still there, but her laughing friends are gone.

Bai Qingxue secretly clenches her fist. Will she meet beautifully dressed female cultivators in the unknown place she is about to go? Can they call her "Big School Sister" again?

Then she shakes her head. Even if some descendants of Misty Peak are still alive, they should have become immortals long ago after more than a thousand years. If their personal ability had not been good enough, their lifespan might have been exhausted and they might have passed away.

Lin Luoran also feels nostalgic about something—the center of Chuan province under reconstruction.

She doesn't go to the former site of the Lins family in Wensu Street, nor Qingcheng Villa. Instead, she returns to the misty and rainy town of her youth.

Reconstruction has not reached here, but she still can't find the Li's Village. Lin Luoran points to a pile of messy rubble relic and asks Baojia besides her, "This is our school, right?"

Qin Baojia glances at it, "You really have a good memory."

In addition to making a friend with Lin Luoran, Baojia who came from the capital was obviously not very concerned about the misty and rainy town in the countryside.

Lin Luoran points in the other direction, "Here was an alley. Baojia, you were riding a rumbling men's motorcycle, and looked really handsome.

Baojia raises her eyebrow, "If I hadn't stopped here to be a meddler, I would never have met you little girl. I really regret it."

Lin Luoran laughs. When she was young, she was timid and weak but she was also very stubborn. The capital offbeat girl who rescued her back then gave her a cup of steaming Yonghe soy milk. It was a cup of cheap drink but she has remembered the sweetness for many years. Now she has drunk Reiki juice for hundreds of years, but she still can't forget the taste of that soy milk.

"Baojia, do you regret enhancing personal ability?"

The two are laughing when Lin Luoran suddenly asks the question. After so many years, things have been totally different. Everyone's fate is changed because of her more or less. When Baojia regained her memory, Lin Luoran wanted to ask this question but she was too guilty to speak.

Baojia doesn't even think about it and shakes her head.

"Personal ability enhancement has no disadvantage. I am not a fragile girl. Although I have lost a hundred years, I have gained much more than that. Gathering Vitality period… Commander Qin must have never imagined that one day I can become a Gathering Vitality cultivator… Do you want to watch me becoming an old woman—when I am very old, I still have to admire your beautiful young face with a grudge?"

Who is she? She is Qin Baojia who was born in the high-ranking officials' circle in the capital. Her enemies can not live longer than her. She is Qin Baojia who never loses.

Baojia doesn't want to look at Lin Luoran's sympathetic eyes and she pouts, "You are not the only one who has a family. I have an ancestor, and the descendants of Lu Sanchun who became members of the Qins family… Hey, Linny, as I say it, why do I also have the feeling that I have to shoulder great responsibility?"

Lin Luoran raises her hands to surrender when she sees her glamorous look, "I was wrong. I should never awaken the alpha girl inside you."

Baojia laughs, and she doesn't look gloomy at all. She has always been the brilliance of diamonds which can illuminate the darkness and warm people's hearts.

Lin Luoran feels that after the Bape Alliance war and a hundred years of reconstruction, the arrogant Qin girl finally returns.

Baojia, it's so great that you return.

…

There are really a lot of people who are about to leave together.

Mu Tiannan, Baojia, Liao, the siblings of the Ma family, Colin, Han Weiya, Rong Xinyi, Bai Qingxue, Yang Lisha, Unscented, and Hu Ji who refuses to take over the Green Mountains world no matter what happens.

King Hu fulfilled his promise. Green Mountains World totally belongs to the monsters who participated in the war. This is a big universe. As long as they don't make trouble in ordinary people's world, Hu Ji doesn't mind not being a "king"… He is also very dissatisfied with the former fox king who "abandoned" him on the earth. He has suffered a lot in this world, because his ancestors only brought him to this world without raising him. He has to chase after those nine-tailed foxes and ask them—is this your way of parenting?

Lin Luoran feels it difficult to handle Xiaozhi.

It is an artificial intelligence with an independent personality, and she does not want to leave Xiaozhi here. However, if Xiaozhi is trapped in a puppet or robot, will it be really happy?

It is more adaptable to the endless interstellar network which allows it to come, go, and wander freely.

"Will you guys come back?"

Xiaozhi's childlike voice is still the same, but Lin Luoran knows that it has been much more mature. It is no longer the juvenile that can be tricked by some words as she first met it.

Will I come back? Lin Luoran doesn't know how to answer it.

On the contrary, Liao is very affirmative, "It may take a long time. However, when the seeds of cultivation naturally regrow, or Linny's personal ability reaches a certain point, the Tower of Babel will be opened from the other end, and those who have left can return."

Xiaozhi smiles, "That's nice. I will never get old, and I will not die. Maybe you guys will come back after thousands of years, but I will still be here."

Lin Luoran is a bit sentimental. From these words, she can know that Xiaozhi wants to stay on the earth.

Xiaozhi gets into the body of a robot and hugs Lin Luoran awkwardly. Lin Luoran's eyes are a little red.

Similarly, the two concubines on Mount Jun Island also choose to stay.

They were originally colored painted sculptures. After receiving incense, they had consciousness and then became gods of Yin. Without real bodies, they will become rootless if they really leave Mount Jun… Gods of Yin cannot pass the Tower of Babel.

Two concubines don't feel sorry at all. If they leave the two concubines' shrine, maybe no one will remember who they are.

"Mortal Heart Fairy, please send our regards to Taoist Jiang."

Lin Luoran nods solemnly.

Yang Lisha thinks to herself—crazy Jiang Shang is definitely not a good Taoist. He didn't learn anything else but he seemed to have a lot of romantic relationships.

Liu Qingdai has reached the last stage of her life. When Lin Luoran comes to visit her, she is teaching Lius' new faithful girl to draw immortal pictures. Every stroke is pious.

"Qingdai, I am leaving this world."

Liu Qingdai is still dressed up meticulously as she did when Lin Luoran first met her, "Fairy, faith has nothing to do with where you are."

The young faithful girl secretly looks at the "oracle" who can talk with Lin Luoran freely. She is calm but she still can't hide her excitement. Liu Qingdai was the oracle that Mortal Heart Fairy personally taught "holy spell" to. After that, probably no faithful girls can have such an honor.

Maybe Lin Luoran has known what she is thinking, so she suddenly turns her head and smiles, "Qingdai is right. The colored sculpture on Mount Jun Island is there, and I will be there. You offer your faith, and I return my blessing with the holy spell."

She doesn't feel pity for leaving her Taoist field of the earth. After she leaves, probably her only connection with the earth is the power of faith that can't be separated even by worlds.

The young faithful girl blushes, and then she nods solemnly.

In the former site of the Tower of Babel—

Yellow sand is rolling. A group of people can't open their eyes because of the strong wind.

Black Tortoise asks in the space if Lin Luoran is ready. Lin Luoran feels reluctant. Fire phoenix tries its best to smile, "Silly girl, we are about to be free again."

Lin Luoran glares at it, and then she turns to ask Liao, "Uncle Liao, do you really think we have a chance to come back?"

Liao laughs, "Of course."

Liao says it and then takes out a sack from his bosom. He keeps taking out many ancient books about breathing, drawing figures, planting magic circles, refining weapons, and making elixirs… the surface of the book is covered with a layer of white light, making it as new as ever.

"Who says that we can't help with the revival of cultivation civilization on the earth?"

He was Taoist managing firewood for collecting these ancient books for so many years… Only female cultivators could enter Misty Peak. Bai Qingxue really doesn't understand how could Liao get the breathing spell of her school!

Lin Luoran is stunned, and everyone wants to kneel for Liao sincerely.

With a wave of Liao's sleeves, the ancient books at his feet turn into white light and fly away, scattering all over the earth. Most of them are at the bottom of Dongting Lake and they are handed over to the newly appointed "General Shrimp".

In Liao's evil laughter, fire phoenix also remembers the good things it got by blackmail——the black lotus seed found by Lin Luoran in the corner of Dragon Palace.

"Don't underestimate it. The lotus seed has grown in Chaos Spirit Spring for a long time and it is much better than someone's ancient books. Perhaps the lucky chance for the revival of cultivation civilization on the earth is the lotus seed that can help people enlighten Tao. "

Fire phoenix doesn't tell the whole truth—Lin Luoran used to self-cultivate at Dragon Palace. Her nameless breathing method was learned by Black Lotus seed. No one can predict what will happen in the future?!

Lin Luoran takes the lotus seed and throws it in Dongting Lake.

The lotus seed falls into the water and sinks quietly on the lake bed, waiting for a destined person to help it take root, sprout, and then bloom again.

Any regrets?

Lin Luoran looks at everyone. Men, women, cultivators, monsters… their eyes are all firm.

"Let's start then."

Let's start.

Lin Luoran has transferred some important items to the world ring that Liao gave to her. She has harvested all the medicinal materials in the spirit fields. Lin Luoran feels a little pity that the book The Great Truths on the second floor of the wooden hut is still firmly stuck on the desk and can not be taken away.

For the first time, the sacred pearl disconnects the silver thread on her wrist and then hovers in the air.

Colorful light overflows from it and people can't directly look at it. Pure five elements wrap the sacred pearl. Lin Luoran can feel the five elements are gathered together, and a hazy Tower of Babel appears above the desert. Finally, it becomes a clear and extremely high stone tower.

The door of the stone tower opens slowly. Lin Luoran sees the scene for the first time—fire phoenix with a red flame tree, silver fish with an ice spirit herb, wood wolf with a green light flower, gold hawk with a oval kumquat, and black Tortoise with a brown bamboo all gather outside the space.

Gold, wood, water, fire, earth.

The five monsters take their own spirit plants and go in different directions.

Fire phoenix looks at Lin Luoran with the most nostalgic look. Wood wolf is yelling. It asks Lin Luoran to avenge it in the future if she meets the monster who conspired against it.

Lin Luoran responds with tears.

The four monsters fly away quickly, filling the four elements of "gold, wood, water, and fire" on the earth.

Black Tortoise finally disappears under everyone's feet. Among the five elements, it's ubiquitous "earth".

The dimly colored sacred pearl falls down powerlessly after the five monsters leave with their elements. Lin Luoran catches it gently. As expected, she can't enter the space anymore. Inside the sacred pearl, it is a hazy white mist.

"Don't be sad. When the five elements are truly rebuilt, they will all benefit from their merits without the trouble of Heaven's Doom. They will be truly worry-free."

Lin Luoran nods. Black Tortoise has talked about it. Liao is not lying.

Mu Tiannan hands her a handkerchief, and Lin Luoran controls her tears, "Let's go."

The Tower of Babel has not changed much. Its dome is still filled with stars. Lin Luoran takes out jade stairs. The star atlas on the dome and that behind the jade stairs add radiance and beauty to each other.

Lin Luoran tries to identify the star atlas on the dome according to the coordinates given by Black Tortoise. She finally smiles with satisfaction when she locks on a light spot.

She points her finger to the spot, and then white light shots down. Led by her, it projects to the back of the second step of the jade stairs.

White light enters in it, searching in the star atlas behind the second step desperately.

The stars on the dome shine dimly, while the steps on Lin Luoran's palm flash brightly and then fly out. Those steps begin to zoom in infinitely.

The dome of the Tower of Babel opens to both sides. Jade stairs are surrounded by stars, and the clouds and the fogs are deep and endless.

"Go. Don't stop."

Liao leads everyone up one by one. The end of the steps surrounded by stars is the destination they are about to reach.

Hu Ji touches his nose. The fake saintess wanted to take him away through this means. After going through so many things, he now also steps on the jade stairs.

Mu Tiannan waits at the end and steps on the stairs together with Lin Luoran. The jade stairs as cold as ice are right under their feet. When he led a befuddled life in the past, he never thought that one day he could set foot on this road to heaven with Lin Luoran.

What is the end of the steps? Lin Luoran does not know, and Mu Tiannan does not know.

He just feels that he is very lucky to accompany her until now.

The dim starlight engulfs Lin Luoran who is walking at the end. Devout believers suddenly have a feeling at the same time—Mortal Heart Fairy they trust has been to a world more suitable for cultivation.

—If Mortal Heart Fairy can hear me, please hear my "gratitude".

Thank you for your lovely stubbornness. Thank you for not giving up on this blue star.

Then, goodbye.
