Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 526 Game and Sword Tomb

It’s really hot.

Lin Luoran totally gets lost in the dense forest.

Damn it. The snake monster is definitely not a nice guy. It plays the game with her and takes advantage of it. The monster kept staring at her wrist. In the end, it didn’t take away the sacred pearl but the six jade plates Lin Luoran holding in her hand—in this way, she couldn’t leave the secret land at any time and had to follow the rule of the game—to leave Bermuda secret land on her own during one-month downturn period of the snake monster.

Then she was thrown into this strange jungle.

Lin Luoran is extremely angry. She doesn’t have the map issued by the special department that year. How can she find the landmark to the exit?

The abyss where White Fairy’s soul was hiding, the magnetic mountain where the monster bat was, the underwater palace where the female corpse in white stayed... well, the first three places she knows are not good choices. Maybe she can go to the Monkey hole.

It’s a pity that she can’t use the holy spell to “listen”. If she can hear all sounds of all things, she will not feel so helpless now.

It will also be helpful if she can find a talking monster... well... in fact, she has figured out the principle of monsters’ strength along the way. The closer it is to the edge of the secret land, the weaker the monster is. Can this principle help her go out?

Lin Luoran feels that her temples begin to throb. She recognizes the north and the south by judging how dense tresses and mosses are. Now she is heading north. If she gets it wrong, she has to turn back. During these two days, she has met many monsters which just became intellectual recently. However, it’s impossible for her to communicate with them. Not having seen even one monster of high rank, she begins to doubt if she is in the right way.

This day, she has been to many places. On her sword, she climbs over mountains and sees the cold pool again. She suddenly feels extremely cold.

Has she been back to the original place?

There is no double-headed snake, but she will always recognize this pool. It is the case of “female corpse mystery” exactly the same as White Fairy’s story. Therefore, she has subconsciously excluded White Fairy from this journey since she entered the secret land. However, she still can’t help but talk to her at this moment.

White Fairy leaves the space and checks the distribution of the mountains around. Her face turns pale immediately.

“It is a natural illusion circle!”

Not to mention Lin Luoran, even the snake monster itself can not get out of this illusion circle if what the fairy thinks is right. Lin Luoran’s face is also a little pale, “Did it trick me and leave here with my jade plates?”

White Fairy shakes her head, “Don’t worry about this. Without signing the blood pact of master and servant, monsters in Lost Land can’t get out even with jade plates.”

White Fairy knows much more about Lost Land than ordinary cultivators. She accidentally read an incomplete ancient book in Misty Peaks Library saying that Lost Land is a world created by some ancient masters to imprison fierce monsters. If imprisoned monsters want to leave this place, they have to sign blood pacts with human race cultivators or gather twelve jade plates all together. This rule extends over generations... Lin Luoran is frowning because of losing her jade plates. After consideration, White Fairy decides not to talk about it at this moment.

The chance of gathering twelve jade plates is too small. Telling her the truth will only make her anxious.

“Can you come up with a method to solve the illusion circle problem?”

White Fairy grits her teeth, “It is almost impossible. Even if I can take you out, the positioning may not be accurate. We don’t know where we will be.”

Lin Luoran feels confused. White Fairy thinks for a while before telling her.

“Thousands of years ago, I was trapped and finally survived as a remnant soul. As my primordial spirit is incomplete, I have lost a very important memory... ”

Lin Luoran is shocked. It reminds her of the female corpse in white in the underwater palace. She continues to listen like nothing happened. White Fairy herself is also confused, “Lost Land opens once a hundred years. I have been here more than once. Now if I take you out of this illusion circle, I can’t make sure where our destination will be. Maybe we will go to a more dangerous place. ”

“We can’t even know a general area?”

White Fairy shakes her head, “Our destination may be a monster’s nest, the bottom of the abyss that you have been to, or the exit... Gathering Vitality cultivators of our days went to strange places and planted spiritual mind seeds there casually. If those seeds have been preserved after so many years, the place where we will appear must be a place I have visited before.”

It’s the first time for Lin Luoran to know this news and she feels so amazing. This is really a good way to leave spiritual mind seeds as signposts. The spiritual mind seeds belonging to Gathering Vitality cultivators are useless for other people.

She nods in approval. White Fairy spreads out her palms, and countless beams of light fly out of her palms as if someone accidentally blows off a glowing dandelion. Light scatters and disappears in the blink of an eye.

A ray of white light comes in the distance and White Fairy finally smiles.

“Go!”

As White Fairy has extravagantly used 1000-year Hollow Azurite to build up her body, her soul of departed can now catch real things. Her palm on Lin Luoran’s wrist is cold, but Lin Luoran doesn’t hate it.

“Follow this direction. Don’t stop and don’t look back. You can get out of the illusion circle in this way, understand?” White Fairy instructs her solemnly and Lin Luoran also nods seriously.

White Fairy takes Lin Luoran to fly in the dense forest, mountains, and mists. Traveling faster and faster, they cross all rivers and mountains they meet. Lin Luoran doesn’t know when they get out of the illusion circle. Lin Luoran didn’t notice that White Fairy has taken her to a strange place until the white light that has been guiding them goes out.

This place looks like a battlefield.

Not far away, there are deep pits comparable to meteorite craters. There is scorched land, hills split from the middle, and broken swords buried in sand. Traces of a big battle among cultivators can be seen at first glance

There are thousands of swords of all kinds. Some are inlaid on the mountain, some inserted in the rock, and some buried under the dust, only revealing exquisite hilts.

It is more like a sword tomb than a battlefield.

“Fairy, where is this?”

Lin Luoran doesn’t say a word because of the solemn atmosphere here. White Fairy only shakes her head as her reply.

It is so strange. She has never been to this place. Why did the spiritual mind seed bring them here? White Fairy feels so confused. She squats down and slowly digs the sand on the ground. When delicate patterns of the broken swords are exposed, her expression changes slightly.

“...these are all swords of Zu Mountain.”

White Fairy picks up a broken sword. The word “Ye” of small-seal style is engraved on the hilt. The Ye Family of Zu Mountain... is it the sword of an ancestor of Ye Xiaobei? Lin Luoran had a good relationship with Wen Guanjing so she knows some stories of Zu Mountain. The Wen and Ye family were originally two large forces of the Zu Mountain School. However, the number of elites in the Ye family decreased so the family gradually declined. The last family member with Taoist root was Ye Xiaobei who went to the Tower of Babel that year and got a Foundation-laying Bolus.

Thinking of this, Lin Luoran start to help White Fairy dig broken swords.

They get every broken sword buried under the soil, embedded in the stone wall, and inserted in the rock.

Swords are lined up on the ground, looking dim without light. However, Lin Luoran can imagine how gorgeous these flying swords were before they were destroyed.

There are eight hundred and forty-two broken swords. The word “Ye” is engraved on the hilts of 70% of these swords while the word “Wen” is on 20% of these swords.

Were all the elites of the Ye family dead here?

White Fairy held an ordinary broken sword in a daze. When she touches the sword with her jade-like fingers, it even makes her tremble.

Lin Luoran has never seen White Fairy look like this. This graceful beauty is overwhelmed by sadness and despair. The owner of the broken sword in her hand must be very important for her.

Zu Mountain School is a swordsman school. Flying sword is more than a normal magic weapon for Zu Mountain cultivators. A broken sword can’t show the condition of its owner. However, countless broken swords are enough to reflect the tragic situation of the battle.

Lin Luoran suddenly thinks of those murals in the underwater palace for no reason... a bride wearing “Sword of Bright Snow”... Does this ordinary flying sword belong to the groom?

Is the bride White Fairy? ...

“A broken sword doesn’t mean anything. Fairy, there is no corpse here.”

White Fairy’s dark eyes light up.

Lin Luoran is right. A broken sword does not mean that its owner is dead. For the worst scenario, he may be just like her. Even if he survived as a remnant soul, it’s still possible for them to see each other again.

At the end of the distant mountains, double-headed snake raises its head from the cold pool. It sneers when it stares at the direction the two people left.

“Qi-trainer, the game... has just begun.”
