C2482 Revisit

The rain was falling heavily, and the vegetation was deep in my old home. I heard that there was no one else in this place …

It was unknown if the heavens were enjoying the show or if the heavens wanted to make this trip back to their homeland so they felt more sorrowful. When Lin Bai and Leng Zhan arrived at the Pill Symbol Sect's Old Territory, there was actually a light drizzle. Although the raindrops were not big, they caused the sky and earth to become interwoven with darkness, causing people to feel even more desolate.

When he arrived at the entrance of the Pill Talisman Sect, Lin Bai felt even more sorrowful. After many years, the place was in ruins. It was desolate and full of the aura of time. Once, a school that could not be said to be powerful yet was extremely warm. Just because of the greed of a few people, it became the smoke in history. It really made people feel pity.

Under the infiltration of the rain, Leng Zhan's face was drenched and it was hard for others to tell whether the sparkling light on her face was the tears that came from the deepest part of her heart or the indifferent rain that came from the sky.

Ever since the Spirit Spring Sect had destroyed the Pill Symbol Sect because of the seed of the Immortal Dao, it had been many years since they last saw any signs of human life. Meanwhile, the old trees on both sides of the road were abuzz with vitality, so much so that even a few people wouldn't be able to hug them. The branches extended into the heavens, as if they were whispering some unknown past.

Not only that, as far as Lin Bai could see, although the Pill Talisman Sect's qi image wasn't as sharp as the Sword Pavilion, nor as ethereal as the Medicine Sovereign Valley, nor as grand and majestic as the Spirit Spring Sect, they were definitely not an ordinary place. The numerous mountain ranges that surrounded the sect naturally had wondrous uses. Each mountain range was like a dragon soaring in the sky, and was extremely extraordinary.

Furthermore, looking at these mountain ranges, Lin Bai felt a misconception. For some reason, he had the feeling that these mountain ranges had an indescribable feeling, as if they were not created by heaven and earth, but rather man-made. Unfortunately, because of the passage of time, the patterns of the earth's veins had already merged with the heaven and earth, undergoing a metamorphosis that made it difficult for people to predict.

"This place really isn't simple. I can't help but be resentful at the prospect of such a bizarre existence like the Immortal Dao seed …." After some thought, Lin Bai softly sighed. However, as he just said those words, an awkward expression appeared on his face. He knew that he had misspoken.

The fact that the Pill Talisman Sect possessed such a miraculous item like the Immortal Dao Seed was indeed an extraordinary fortuitous encounter. However, if these words were spoken by anyone else, it wouldn't mean much. But if it was Lin Bai's words, it was a little inappropriate.

Not because of anything else, but because Leng Zhan was Lin Bai's disciple, and also the sole survivor of the Pill Talisman Sect. As for the seed of the Immortal Path, it was also the best time that the Pill Talisman Sect had given Leng Yanyan in the past few years. The reason why she had fallen into such an abyss was because of the main culprit. If he could utter such a sigh in front of Leng Zhan Yan, wouldn't that be touching her heart?

"What Master said is the truth, there's no need to care …" Although Leng Zhan Yan was heartbroken, it did not mean that she would force her emotions onto Lin Bai because of this. Upon hearing this, she shook her head with a light smile, indicating to Lin Bai that he did not need to worry about her slip of the tongue.

Lin Bai was speechless when he saw this, but in his heart, he felt a little more pity for Leng Zhan Yan. This girl had gone through many tragedies. Even though he had saved her and helped her wash away the blood feud, he still could not dispel the sadness in her heart. It was not because of anything else. Even though his enemy was dead, his loved ones would never be able to revive him.

After a moment of silence, the two of them looked at each other in silence before slowly advancing towards the depths of the Pill Talisman Sect. This place had been destroyed for a long time, and the ruins of the city were completely silent. Even the stone buildings and stairs were covered in moss, and the desolate weeds covered the ground.

It had been several decades since the Spirit Spring Sect had destroyed this land. All the precious treasures had long since been taken away by the Spirit Spring Sect. Even some of the less precious items had been taken away by the lone souls who had heard of them. As far as the eye could see, it was completely barren without any signs of people living in the past.

The once warm home, in the end, had turned into this scene, making one unable to help sighing with emotion. White cloud and blue dog, the world changes, in the human world, it is truly difficult for anything and everyone to exist forever.

Lin Bai and Leng Ying were walking silently in the midst of the ruins. Broken stone walls, broken debris, everywhere. Amongst the broken buildings, there were even many eerie white bones. However, after experiencing many years of changes in the wind and rain, these bones had already become extremely rotten. Many of the bones had mottled cracks on them, as if they would be scattered by the wind soon.

Looking at these bones, Leng Ying wanted to cry, but his heart was at a loss. She had originally come here to find some traces of her past life and find her own warmth and innocence. However, she had never expected that after she had returned, everything had completely changed. Not even the chance to hang himself had been left for her.

This discovery caused Leng Wuyan to sigh repeatedly in her heart. She suddenly discovered powerlessly that regardless of whether it was because of her own heart or on purpose, the Pill Symbol Sect's past was gradually distancing itself from her, never to have another chance to interact with her again.

This change in her state of mind caused Leng Zhan Yan to feel rather disappointed. She even suspected that she was too cold and heartless to be able to forget everything that had happened. However, she also knew that this was actually the best result. Only by coming here would she truly be able to confirm that the past could not be changed and that the only thing that could be cherished was the present.

Fortunately, the grudges of those who had died here were not drowned in history just like their corpses. Instead, their grudges were finally resolved. The little girl they were referring to did not sink into depression, or perhaps into hatred, but instead, she continued to grow stronger and more mature …

However, what Leng Zhan didn't know was that this change in her state of mind was precisely the reason why Lin Bai brought her here. It was because she needed to show Leng Zhan to the current Alchemy Talisman Sect that she could see everything that had been ruined. It was because of this that she could finally untie the knot in her heart and let her understand that life in the past had already passed.

"Master, thank you for your teachings. Without you, there would not have been a disciple today." After pondering for a long time, Leng Zhan slowly bent down and kowtowed four times in the direction of the destroyed Pill Symbol Sect remains. After which, he turned to look at Lin Bai and said with incomparable sincerity.

Leng Yanyan was very clear that it was a very fortunate thing for her to meet Lin Bai. Not to mention that it was precisely because of Lin Bai's help that she had the opportunity to take revenge on him. More importantly, it was precisely because of Lin Bai's subtle transformation that she was able to obtain the transformation of her heart and escape from this hatred.

Such an opportunity was definitely not something an ordinary person could have. Furthermore, Leng Ying knew that, in the face of the current situation, whether it was in the underworld or the secular world, there were countless people who wanted to join Lin Bai's sect. And for him to be able to reach this step, it was all because of Lin Baiqing. This kind of luck could change his entire life.

How could she not be grateful to Lin Bai for all sorts of things, even if she kowtowed?

Lin Bai nodded slightly, a hint of happiness on his face. He understood that the effect of bringing Leng Zhan here had already paid off. Right now, there was not even the slightest bit of hatred or unwillingness left on Leng Zhan Yan's body. Her entire being seemed to have become much more relaxed. This was a type of bright pearl and a horsetail whisk, a change akin to cutting a piece of jade.

This kind of change might seem insignificant, but Lin Bai understood that this change would cause Leng Zhan to experience an earth-shattering change. After removing the shackles in her heart, Leng Zhan Yan's heart would be more open and her dao heart more stable. At that time, regardless of whether it was her cultivation or how she treated herself, everything would be different.

However, this change would not manifest itself yet. It would take a period of tempering and tempering before he could truly disperse the clouds.

"Zhan Yan, you don't have to do this …" He was just about to comfort her a little more, but as soon as he said those words, Lin Bai's eyes suddenly became cold, the light in his eyes became like lightning, and even his back quivered as he said in a low voice, "There are other people here, and their cultivations are extraordinarily strong!"

When Leng Zhan Yan heard this, she did not hesitate at all. She immediately turned around and looked, and when she did, she immediately turned stiff. It was unknown when, but at the entrance of the Pill Talisman Sect, a figure had appeared. The figure was motionless, like a wooden block. There were no signs of aura fluctuations at all, as if it was an ancient sculpture.

What surprised the two even more was that they didn't notice this person at all after entering this place for a while. Only now did they realize by chance that they weren't the only one here.

That person did not directly face them, but had his back facing them. His long, white hair was behind his back, and he was tall. He stood upright in the air, as if he was a bottomless abyss, yet also as vast as the starry sky.

Even Lin Bai felt goosebumps all over his body as he stared at this back view. Even with his abilities, he was unable to see through the depths of the other party's cultivation. He could feel that this person's strength was incomparable.

Who exactly was it? Could it be that he wasn't the only one in the Pill Talisman Sect, but there was someone else that survived like him? Looking at the back of the figure, Leng Ying's heart was in turmoil. His entire body was shivering, and there was an unconcealable look of anticipation in his eyes. His eyes were bright, as if there was a fire of hope burning within them.

However, that person remained motionless, as if he hadn't noticed the two's surprise. His figure seemed as though it had experienced countless generations of vicissitudes, as though he was an immortal statue standing in the shattered world, on the verge of death.
