Volume 5: Baptism of Life and Death Chapter 616: Sirius Palace Hide!
"After seeing the process of your breakthrough this time, my state of mind has reached the point where it is about to break through. I believe I will be able to enter the second realm soon!"
When Shen Luoyan said this, her beautiful eyes sparkled with bright light, and an astonishingly mysterious Taoist aura emanated from her body.
Feeling this, Li Xuanfeng immediately realized that her words were not false at all, and her cultivation level was indeed very close to the second level!
So Li Xuanfeng smiled and clasped his fists, jokingly saying: "Then I, Junior Brother, would like to congratulate Senior Sister on her breakthrough in cultivation."
Hearing his joke, the smile on Shen Luoyan's pretty face widened a little more, and her heart was filled with joy and anticipation.
When she achieves a breakthrough in her cultivation, she will be able to truly stand by her husband Li Xuanfeng's side, become his helper, and face powerful enemies together with him.
Shen Luoyan has been looking forward to this for a long time and is even always prepared. He has not slacked off at all because of his current peaceful life.
Li Xuanfeng also knew Shen Luoyan's thoughts. Although he didn't want her to face danger, he also knew that she had a very determined personality and did not like to practice under his protection all the time.
Li Xuanfeng also knew that he could not persuade Shen Luoyan to hide behind him, so he did not say anything to persuade her.
Li Xuanfeng has already made a plan in his mind. If he has to fight against a powerful enemy who has taken over his father's body in the future, he will first find a way to trap Shen Luoyan and then go to fight this person alone.
Although knowing this would definitely make Shen Luoyan extremely angry afterwards, this was the only way to completely guarantee her safety and allow him to have no worries.
…
Outside the Tongling Continent and outside the Duling Star, in the vast starry sky, there is a planet that is much larger than the Duling Star.
This planet is extremely far away from Duling Star, and there are many planets between the two planets.
This planet is also separated by land and ocean, but the ocean area is only a small part of the planet, making the climate quite dry and there are many deserts.
If you look from outside this planet, you will find that the land of this planet is extremely vast, and its shape is very similar to that of a wolf!
This is why the planet got its name, Sirius!
At this time, in a vast sect within Sirius, in a dark cave underground, a sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
If Li Xuanfeng were here, he would definitely recognize this middle-aged scholar instantly!
Although this person was different from what he remembered, no longer wearing linen clothes and no longer covered in mud, but looking like an extremely elegant scholar, his appearance had not changed at all!
Even though there was not the slightest bit of the kindness that Li Xuanfeng was familiar with in this person's expression, he could still recognize him at a glance!
That was his father's face!
This person is the one who took over the body of Li Xuanfeng's father!
Just when Li Xuanfeng's cultivation level broke through to the second realm, the middle-aged scholar who was practicing with his eyes closed suddenly frowned slightly, then his eyes suddenly opened, emitting an astonishing ray of light, instantly illuminating the dark cave!
After a moment, the gleam in the eyes of the middle-aged scholar gradually disappeared, and the cave returned to darkness again, but his brows were still furrowed, and his expression was full of solemnity!
After a while, the middle-aged scholar murmured softly: "My cultivation has just recovered not long ago, why do I have such a strong sense of crisis?"
"Could it be that the enemy who nearly killed me before has already known that I am not dead, and is preparing to strike again to wipe out the root of the problem?"
Just now, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. He immediately interrupted his retreat and thought carefully about the source, but found nothing. He could not figure out where this sense of crisis came from!
"That shouldn't be the case. I've disappeared for such a long time. Moreover, they watched me being shattered, my cultivation collapsed, and even my soul nearly scattered. They shouldn't suspect that I'm still alive."
"And if they knew that I was not dead, they should have taken action to hunt me down long ago. It is impossible that they would wait until now for my cultivation to recover before preparing to take action!"
After returning to Sirius, where he was born, and entering a sect to practice for decades, his cultivation finally recovered to its original peak, and he even advanced to a higher level.
Although his cultivation has improved now, he knows very well in his heart that he is still no match for those people back then!
If those people attacked him again, he would still have no chance of winning. All his previous hiding and calculations would be in vain, and there would be no possibility for him to survive!
Thinking of this, the middle-aged scholar was filled with fear, and his mind was full of thoughts, thinking about how to deal with it!
After a long time, the middle-aged scholar still frowned, and suddenly stood up, muttering to himself: "Gong must figure this out, otherwise I will be uneasy and unable to continue to practice!"
As he said this, he took a step forward and his body suddenly disappeared from the cave, appearing high in the sky in an instant.
Then the middle-aged scholar's eyes flashed, and he took another step forward. The space suddenly became blurred, and his body suddenly disappeared again on the spot, as if he had merged into the world, and rushed away into the distance at an extremely terrifying speed!
Soon, the middle-aged scholar appeared in a continuous mountain range.
After arriving here, the middle-aged scholar did not make any extra moves, but bowed his head respectfully and said, "Gong has something to ask of you, please see me, Mr. Shang."
The voice of this middle-aged scholar was filled with the power of cultivation and instantly spread throughout the mountains.
After shouting this, the middle-aged scholar did not stand up, but remained in a respectful posture, as if waiting patiently.
But in this mountain range, only the birds and beasts were startled by the middle-aged scholar's voice. There was no other movement at all, as if there were no human beings here at all.
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was still no movement in the mountains, the middle-aged scholar clasped his fists and bowed again. At the same time, he took out a piece of dark brown jade and said in a deep voice:
"Friend Shang, I am Gong Zang, who became friends with you a hundred years ago. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you can help me!"
The person who took over Li Xuanfeng's father's body was named Gong Zang!
This was a name that even Li Xuanfeng did not know. In the scenes recalled by the Five Elements Venerable, he only knew that this person's surname was Gong.
Just after Gong Zang took out the dark brown jade and spoke again, a very weak fluctuation suddenly appeared in the mountains, as if an extremely obscure divine sense swept through Gong Zang.
Gong Zang could vaguely feel this obscure spiritual power sweeping across his body, and finally pausing slightly on the jade in his hand.
At this moment, within this mountain range, a translucent light curtain suddenly appeared on one of the inconspicuous peaks, and then a gap the size of a person opened on the light curtain.
"Come in!" An extremely hoarse voice came from inside the mountain, making Gong Zang's expression suddenly become ecstatic.
Gong Zang couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He is worthy of being the best at deduction in the second realm, and he actually hid himself so deeply.
Just before this light curtain appeared, he used his spiritual power to carefully scan the mountain range, but did not find anything unusual.
"Thank you, Mr. Shang!" Gong Zang bowed respectfully again, then rushed towards the mountain and entered through the gap in the light curtain in the blink of an eye.
After passing through this light curtain, Gong Zang immediately entered a mansion.
Although this mansion is not large, only a few dozen feet in area, its decoration is extremely luxurious, as if it were made of countless rare and precious materials.
The light curtain and the mountain just now were just a means of hiding for the person inside, making it impossible for the cultivators outside to detect his existence.
After entering this luxurious mansion, Gong Zang immediately saw an old man in a black robe.
Although the old man in black robe has snow-white hair, his face does not look old at all, and his skin is even extremely smooth and rosy.
This is the legendary white hair and youthful face.
Seeing the old man's appearance , Gong Zang was not surprised at all. This man had the same appearance when he dealt with him hundreds of years ago.
After seeing Gong Zang enter the mansion, the old man with white hair and a youthful face glanced at the jade in his hand again, and then looked at Gong Zang.
After entering the mansion, Gong Zang immediately presented the brown jade in his hands with both hands and said with a smile: "This is a small gift from Gong, I hope Mr. Shang will accept it."
The old man with white hair and a youthful face took it calmly, took a quick look at it and put it away. It seemed that he did not value this brown jade very much.
But he was not at peace in his heart. This piece of jade was the treasure he had been searching for for many years. It was extremely rare in the world today and it was exactly what he needed to refine an important magic weapon.
But he couldn't let Gong Zang see how much he valued this thing, lest he see his thoughts or make greater demands.
Obtaining the greatest benefit at the lowest cost is the way of survival he has always adhered to.
