Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

"Senior sister, how have you been?"

Time flies and years change. The old friends from the past reappear before Luo Yan's eyes, and all she feels is a mix of melancholy and joy.

In his sleep, he truly dreamt of that regretful, beautiful figure and heard her soft whispers.

Even though the person had already passed away, Luo Yan used great methods and powerful magic to reverse time and bring them back.

At the same time, the flowers, plants and trees in front of the stone tablet began to roll backward, and the river of time began to flow backward, regressing to 145 years ago.

On the third floor of the lakeside cottage, an elderly woman in blue lay ill on her bed, her eyes dim, clearly on her deathbed.

Like a candle flame flickering in the wind, it could go out at any moment.

The old woman in blue looked across the room, where a young man in green robes was hanging on the wall. He had a gentle demeanor and calm eyes.

She stared at him for a long time, her eyes becoming somewhat dazed, her pupils filled with his image.

"Junior brother, I can't wait for you to descend to the mortal realm. I'll have to entrust Zi'er to your care from now on."

"And... I really want to be with you."

The old woman in blue murmured, a single, cloudy tear rolling down her aged cheek.

With a 'plop', it dripped onto the pillow.

As time and space converge, the teardrops, 145 years later, fall almost simultaneously.

These two tears, as if crossing the river of time, struck Luo Yan's heart one after the other.

It was a deep sense of reluctance to part, a profound longing for past memories, that gave the entire lakeside cottage a unique feeling of attachment.

As she pondered, the old woman in blue felt a sense of powerlessness, and tears streamed down her face.

She slowly closed her eyes, waiting for the final moment to arrive.

Her life force gradually faded, and the vitality on her face slowly disappeared, leaving an aura of death in the attic.

It seems that time will stand still at this moment.

Just then, a figure in cyan robes curiously looked around and then stepped out from the painting on the wall.

He looked at the old woman in blue lying on the bed, a hint of tenderness flashing across his face, and softly called out:

"Senior sister, wake up, don't sleep."

"I'm back."

The old woman in blue, who was on her deathbed, was instantly awakened upon hearing this voice, and her cloudy eyes shone with a light as bright as the stars.

That familiar voice, that voice that haunted her dreams, she would never forget until her death!
"Junior Brother Luo, is it really you?" the old woman in blue asked.

Luo Yan nodded, her smile gentle, her laughter soft, and replied, "Senior Sister, it's me!"

The power of reincarnation is immense, and coupled with the anchoring of fate's trajectory, Luo Yanfu, driven by his own heart, actually transcended time and space, arriving 145 years in the past.

How outrageous is this?

After all, countless living beings live in the present. The past and the future belong to the forbidden zone of heaven and earth, and perhaps only the gods can glimpse them.

But now, Luo Yan, a mere cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm, is able to reverse time and return to the past.
Such power would shock even the most divine beings.

After all, the laws of time are the most difficult to cultivate; even a True Immortal Realm expert would find it difficult to even begin to understand them.

Who could have imagined that a mere mortal from the lower realm would be able to glimpse the essence of this art?
Such an example is so rare that it would be difficult to find even if one searched the entire heavens.

Luo Yan arrived at the side of the old woman in blue and, seeing her faint life force, immediately used his life-saving technique to try to heal his senior sister's Dao injury.

‘Wow! ’

Runes radiating a vibrant green light, brimming with surging life force, enveloped the old woman in blue.

Nourished by boundless life force, the first thing that changed about the old woman in blue was her body.

Her body became rosy, delicate, and fair at a visible speed, and her whole being was full of radiance.

Next is the wound to the soul, a wound that, to others, is an incurable terminal illness.

But for a powerful cultivator like Luo Yan at the Refinement Realm, it was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Luo Yan did not believe that he was capable enough to save Senior Sister Lan from her dire situation.

Full of confidence, he casually summoned dozens of demonic beasts from the mountains and extracted a bit of their divine soul power.

Subsequently, this spiritual power was further purified, transforming into the purest source of spiritual power.

Luo Yan made a hand seal with one hand and guided the ball of soul power with the other, slowly injecting it into Senior Sister Lan's body.

At this moment, Senior Sister Lan's delicate body shone brightly, releasing an aura of peace and tranquility.

In an instant, auspicious energy began to rise around the bed, and the vitality of life was abundant. The beautiful figure on the bed had a rosy complexion, showing signs of regaining her youth and the remission of her illness.

Upon seeing this, a flash of satisfaction crossed Luo Yan's eyes.

All we need to do now is wait and continue to use the source of soul power to nourish Senior Sister Lan's soul, and we will surely be able to bring her back to life.

But soon, the smile on Luo Yan's face froze.

An invisible and strange force appeared, interfering with Luo Yan's actions and preventing Senior Sister Lan from repairing her soul power.

Just as the water columns that had been gathered together turned into raindrops in a short time, they scattered all over the ground.

The opportunity for nurturing will never return.

"Give it to me!"

Luo Yan shouted in a low voice, his brows furrowed, clearly disbelieving in superstition.

He couldn't believe that he couldn't save a senior sister who was at the Golden Core stage with his own strength.

Luo Yan once again captured the souls of the mountain spirit beasts, refined them into the purest soul power, and continuously fed it back to Senior Sister Lan.

But every time it came to the final moment, a mysterious and unpredictable force would emerge, interfering with Luo Yan's actions.

This prevents them from defying fate.

"How could this be?"

"Even when I suffered soul injuries or had deficiencies in my soul, I used the purest soul power to repair them!"

"Why couldn't you save my senior sister?"

"Why."

Luo Yan looked at the beautiful woman in front of him. His life force, which had just started to recover, was rapidly slipping away again. His body trembled, filled with disbelief.

Luo Yan's expression was no longer calm, but filled with panic. Even if he had come to 140 or 150 years ago, could he still not save his senior sister?

"I do not believe"

"I do not believe!"

Luo Yan rushed out like a madman, arrived at the Five Elements Temple, and directly used his great magic power to summon dozens of Golden Core Realm elders with a casual wave of his hand.

"Senior!"

Those Golden Core elders who were suddenly dragged out of their caves were all terrified, their backs were chilled, and they were extremely frightened.

The other powerful figures in the Five Elements Temple were also startled by the sudden appearance of the Taoist in blue.

In an instant, the sect's bronze bell rang loudly, and countless powerful figures rushed out, their faces grave as they looked up at the sky. Where did this old monster come from, managing to bypass the sect's protective array and wreak havoc within the Five Elements Temple?

How audacious!

"Certainly!"

Luo Yan raised his hand, freezing the powerful sect members who were rushing towards him. Among them were two elders at the Nascent Soul stage, who were all bound to their spots and unable to move after hearing his words.

Soon, Luo Yan collected the soul power of those Golden Core Realm elders, condensed it into a ball, and returned to the lakeside cottage.

He carefully channeled the ball of soul power into Senior Sister Lan's body once again, hoping to save her from the clutches of the King of Hell.

But this time, Luo Yan failed again.

He watched helplessly as the ball of soul power he had captured dissipated like smoke in the wind, under the interference of some mysterious and powerful force.

"It still doesn't work."

Luo Yan stared blankly at the bed, then looked at his hands several times. He even began to doubt whether the experience and methods he had relied on were actually working.

Luo Yan was unwilling to accept this and didn't want to see her dearest senior sister pass away, so she tried again.

He retrieved the pure soul power source from the Dao Realm World, went to the center of the Hundred Thousand Mile Wilderness, captured a great demon from the Demon Saint Palace, and extracted a wisp of their soul power.

He even went to the Five Elements Temple's treasure vault and retrieved countless precious medicines for treating the soul.
With great anticipation, Luo Yan infused Senior Sister Lan's body with those precious medicines and the essence of her soul power.

But he was still disappointed.

Each attempt was like a stone falling into a lake, neither of them able to mix.

No matter how many times Luo Yan tried, the result was always the same.

It was as if some supreme power was guiding everything from the shadows.

Saving people from danger is acceptable, but defying fate is not!

After countless attempts, the confidence in Luo Yan's eyes turned into dejection and helplessness.

He finally understood that perhaps this matter was truly irreversible!
He had no choice but to give up.
Looking at the blue-clad figure lying on the bed, Luo Yan's memories began to distort, as if he had returned to a long time ago to that gentle and kind woman.

"Senior Sister Lan, it's because my skills are insufficient to save you."

Luo Yan felt heavy-hearted. He had thought that since he had come to 145 years ago and could even reverse the river of time, he would surely be able to save Senior Sister Lan from her life-threatening situation.

After all, he was a powerful cultivator at the Void Refining Realm. Saving a mere Golden Core Realm cultivator would be a piece of cake for him.
Luo Yan still miscalculated. It seemed that this world was always working against him, preventing him from using his heaven-defying resurrection abilities.

It seems that some kind of rule exists in the dark, preventing all of this from happening.

"Junior brother, don't run around for me anymore. Just seeing you makes me happy enough."

Senior Sister Lan twitched her lips. The shocking changes that had occurred to her, as well as the anxious figure that appeared and disappeared intermittently, could not escape her eyes.

Those watery eyes went from shock to awe, then to disbelief, and finally to deep affection.

She wasn't mistaken, nor was it a hallucination she experienced before her death.

Junior Brother Luo really came to her and was working hard to prolong her life.

"With you here, even if I die, I will have no regrets."

Perhaps because she had regained her physical vitality, but also because she suffered a loss of soul, Senior Sister Lan's voice was both soft and melodious, carrying the gentleness of a woman from the Jiangnan water towns, and filled with a sense of fragility.

Having been tormented by illness for so long, she had long since become indifferent to life and death.

The only thing he still couldn't let go of was Zi'er and his junior brother.

At this moment, being able to see the person she had been longing for come to her side before she died, she truly had no regrets.

Even his eyes and brows were full of smiles.

Because it wasn't an illusion, but something real, she was really happy.

"Junior Brother Luo, I feel a little stronger now and I'd like to go out for a walk and see the scenery. Could you take me out?"

Senior Sister Lan narrowed her eyes into crescent moons, looking at her fair and smooth skin, which made her look almost like a teenage girl, and she was extremely happy.

She didn't want to show her weakest and ugliest side to Junior Brother Luo.

It's just right now, and she really loves this taste.

It was as if time had turned back decades, to the image of that young man in a blue robe asking him for guidance on the art of the Dream Butterfly.

The time was perfect, and the people from that era were still by my side.
Luo Yan nodded, his body becoming incredibly light. He pointed a finger, once again condensing a surge of life force, which entered Senior Sister Lan's body.

Then, he picked up Senior Sister Lan from the bed and placed her on a push-up chair.

Luo Yan pushed her out of the lakeside cottage.

The sounds of rippling water, the crowing of wild chickens, and the distant roars of beasts filled the air.

The world outside the house seemed to be two completely different worlds from the world inside the attic, both brimming with vibrant life.

It felt as if the air outside was filled with sweetness.

Outside, stood a dark-skinned boy with bright, sparkling eyes; he must be the adopted son that Senior Sister Lan had brought back.

The other person stared blankly at Luo Yan. Wasn't this the person in the portrait of his mother?
How did you manage to escape now?

Could it be that the portrait has come to life?

Then, the boy looked at his mother again, his eyes filled with a blank stare.

How did his mother become a young woman, and so young and beautiful at that?
Luo Yan ignored him and instead took Senior Sister Lan into the air, wandering through the mountains and forests, stopping at mountain peaks, and traveling all over the Southern Region.

Luo Yan knew that the other party didn't have much time left, so every step he took seemed slow.

Make sure to take a close look at all the scenery along the way.

Luo Yan also knew that this senior sister still harbored unspoken feelings for her younger sister, Zi'er.

But this time, Senior Sister Lan didn't ask anything. She became a carefree girl, and although she was being pushed, she was full of curiosity about everything in the outside world.

Luo Yan pushed her around, and they tasted human snacks, secretly drank fruit wine brewed by a monkey demon, and even went to the edge of the South China Sea to watch the sunrise over the coastline together.
They did a lot of fun things together.

Five days later, the color in Senior Sister Lan's eyes finally faded away.

"Junior brother, come closer." A soft voice called out.

Luo Yan was puzzled and lowered her head.

"Get a little closer," Senior Sister Lan's reproachful voice rang out again.

Luo Yan turned her head to look at that exquisite and beautiful face, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Close your eyes," Senior Sister Lan pouted.

Luo Yan slowly closed her eyes.

With a 'smack', a pair of cold lips landed on his face.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. The morning light outside was warm, Luo Yan's body was stiff, and the fragrance wafted from her nose.

"whee."

Goodbye, Junior Brother Luo.

As that slightly playful voice faded, the beautiful figure in Luo Yan's arms also lost all vitality. (End of Chapter)
