ninety thousand miles

Chapter 555 Picking up bones
He really didn't understand anything back then, and he doesn't understand much now either.

Of the things he knew, part was learned through rote memorization, guesswork, and chance, and part was learned by simply asking questions to every person he could find, until the other person lowered their level of knowledge to his own and answered his questions.

So is the jelly worm still there?
Immortal Yun Yi asked him again: "Do you feel that this place is unusual?"

"A place of absolute spiritual power?" Li Chuan guessed.

"Absolute Spirit Land?" Yun Yi laughed and said, "This place is not as simple as Absolute Spirit Land. Here... everything here will only decay, but it will not fall into the abyss of the heart."

"So Li Chuan..."

When Li Chuan heard Yun Yi calling his name, he sat up straighter unconsciously.

Yun Yi took out an ink-colored pottery jar with water patterns and placed it on the table, saying, "Go find the little bug."

Li Chuan looked at the pottery jar and understood what Yun Yi meant. He said, "Do you want me to look at the gravel one by one?"

"That's right." Yun Yi said.

"How long will it take to find this?" Li Chuan blurted out, "Although this place is not big, I don't know how deep it is..."

"You can't pick up much in an hour, and you probably won't pick up much in a day. But what about a month, a year, ten years, or even a hundred years?" Yun Yi said, "One day you will be able to pick up everything."

"I will be nothing but dry bones by then." Li Chuan said, "The immortals have boundless magical powers. If you want to know if the little bug is still there, you just need to use your divine sense to scan this place. It's not that I don't want to look for it, but... I still have a lot of things to do."

"What do you want?" Yun Yi asked.

"As for the near future, I will go to Cangwu Plain after the spring comes." Li Chuan said.

"No matter how long it takes, when you walk out of here, only three days will have passed outside," said Yun Yi.

Li Chuan felt powerless.

At this moment, he understood the feelings of Wen Guying and Xuanmen who did not want Immortal Yun Yi to interfere.

He still wanted to refuse, saying: "I don't have a hundred years to live..."

"This wine is called Dao Yun." Yun Yi picked up the wine glass and took another sip. He said, "If you don't digest the Dao meaning in it here, you will feel very uncomfortable when you go out."

Li Chuan looked at his wine glass. Only a shallow layer of liquid remained at the bottom, emitting a pale light.

He clenched the cup.

Yun Yi said: "You have been delayed for too long by worldly affairs. You should calm down and use the power you have learned from the "Pattern Sutra" to feel this place. When you come out, you will understand what I mean."

Li Chuan didn't say anything.

Liu Yang looked at Yun Yi, then at Li Chuan, and said, "We will stay here in seclusion and try to get out as soon as possible."

Reform yourself and start a new life?
Li Chuan took a deep breath and said, "Master Yun Yi, I have another question."

"You ask." said Immortal Yun Yi.

"If...if there are still people now who climb up the Locust Mountain and reach the fairyland, what is the difference between an immortal who achieves immortality in this way and an immortal who overcomes the tribulation and ascends to heaven?" Li Chuan asked.

"Among the immortals before the ancient times, there are only three ancient immortals who are still alive today. But it is not known whether they climbed the Locust Mountain to reach the present time. As for whether there are other immortals from that time who are still alive today, it is hard to say." Yun Yi replied.

"You don't know either..." Li Chuan was a little disappointed.

“I haven’t seen it.” Yun Yi said, “But I think that no matter who it is, as long as he can step into the fairyland and become a fairy, there will be nothing he needs to fear below the fairyland and above the heart abyss.”

"What about the ninety thousand miles?" Li Chuan asked.

"I haven't been there yet." Yun Yi said. At this time, he looked at Li Chuan with some appreciation in his eyes. He said: "But if you can reach the fairyland within a hundred years, I will definitely send you to the ninety thousand miles even if I die." Li Chuan looked down at the gravel at his feet and said: "I will try my best."

"Take your time to think about it." Immortal Yun Yi stood up and said, "I'm going to go for a walk outside. See you next time."

"Where are you going?" Li Chuan asked.

"Luoxia Secret Realm." Yun Yi said.

"Do you know about the emergence of Luoxia Secret Realm?" Li Chuan asked.

"I may be the first person in the world to know this." said Immortal Yun Yi.

"so……"

"I'm leaving." Yun Yi said.

As soon as the voice fell, the man disappeared, as if he had suddenly appeared before.

However, the stone table, stone chairs, and the wine jug and pottery jar on the table were still there and did not disappear with Immortal Yun Yi.

The light didn't dim.

Liu Yang looked at Li Chuan's expression and advised him, "I don't think Immortal Yun Yi has any intention of harming you. He..."

"I know." Li Chuan took out the Qigong Pill from the Bishui Ring and swallowed two of them. He said, "Let's not talk about the fact that he is an immortal and I am a mortal. He has saved my life many times. He just asked me to go into seclusion. He asked me to guard here for the rest of my life, so I have to. Besides, I always feel that he got the benefits from Tiansu here, and then he thought I was too disappointing, so he forced me to go into seclusion. Who would believe you if you said he couldn't find the little bug? He must have figured out a way to kill the White Walkers completely."

Li Chuan stood up, looked around, and said, "Tian Su is half my master, and it is my duty to pick up his bones for him."

He walked to the skeleton of the Black Horned King and said, "I think if the little bug is still there, it might be in this area. If we can find it sooner, I'll trouble you to sweep the rest into the pottery jar."

"Okay, what else can I do?" Liu Yang asked.

"Do you have candles, luminous pearls or other lighting?" Li Chuan asked.

"Yes." Liu Yang said as he came out with a bronze lamp.

"Just hold the light for me so I can save some energy," said Li Chuan.

"Okay." Liu Yang agreed.

After Li Chuan sat down on the gravel, Liu Yang lit the bronze lamp. The light was very soft, as if it was emitted by some spiritual stone.

Li Chuan looked at the bronze lamp for a while, and just as he was about to concentrate, he heard Liu Yang say, "Ancient Immortal Tian Su, you are so admirable."

Liu Yang raised his head and looked upwards, where the sword energy had originally fallen. His expression was full of reverence and longing, and he said, "Thirty thousand years ago, he led the immortals to save this world from a greater catastrophe. In the future unknown to us, he established the Temple of the Heroes, went upstream, and even sacrificed his own life, just to preserve the secrets of the White Walkers so that those who came later would have a chance to kill them."

"Yes." Li Chuan said, and after a pause, he added: "But I don't feel anything."

"Why?" Liu Yang asked.

"Because it's too grand, and too far away," Li Chuan sighed, "It's not something an insignificant little bug like me should get involved in."

"Dr. Li..." When Liu Yang wanted to say something else, he found that Li Chuan had entered a mysterious state.

Li Chuan, who is in the right state, is different from usual.

His face was calm, neither sad nor happy.
