Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 34 Returning to Blue Valley
Everyone returned to the ancient city of Penglai, unaware that they had been away for over a year, spending that time in another world. Lantian was curious about what major events had occurred outside.

In the course of a year, nothing much changed in the ancient city of Penglai, but a tremendous change occurred outside of Penglai. The demons had unified the Endless Sea, and now the outside world was their domain. Humans had become their slaves, living a life of misery and darkness.

Qin Lei wasn't particularly curious about Lan Tian and the others' experiences in the other world. After all, he hadn't seen any significant gains or tangible material possessions. He had initially thought there would be treasures or some advancement in cultivation for these youngsters. Now that they seemed to have returned without any major achievements, he lost interest. However, he was unaware that Lan Tian was the biggest beneficiary of this trip, the harvester of this time-space interdimensional world, and the one who would become its master.

Lan Tian didn't have a deep conversation with Qin Lei. He didn't let Qin Lei know about this inheritance. Some things are better left to him to know. It would be detrimental to his growth if too many people knew, and it might even lead to a fatal disaster. He would tell Uncle Lei about it later.

Back in Blue Valley, everything returned to normal. And so it began again: the relentless training, the daily grind of advancement.

Blue Sky had lost interest in cultivating in the Blue Valley. He realized that to grow faster and better, he needed to move upwards, to experience and hone his skills in higher-level places. Penglai Ancient City was no longer suitable for his cultivation! It was time to leave.

Lan Tian had a plan in mind, so he often went to see Uncle Lei to talk to him about the outside world and the cultivation levels there, trying to understand as much as possible so that he could prepare and become familiar with it as soon as possible.

He thought to himself that he would come back. This was a stop on his path of growth. In the future, there would be many more places, many more people and things, and he would need to explore the unpredictable and ever-changing world as soon as possible.

……

Lan Tian spent several days cultivating in Blue Valley, returning home every day to be with his parents and relive the warmth of family. He truly couldn't bear to leave them. However, the current state of the Endless Sea worried him greatly. This was no longer the era of the gentle Lianjia; it was time to show his true self, to embrace new challenges, and to do something for his family, for humanity, and for himself.

In the Penglai Mountains, Lan Tian had specially returned to his cultivation grounds. Looking at the fire phoenix, he thought how beautiful the scenery was! He remembered how, when he first arrived, his cultivation was too low to even fly on his own. Now, not only did he have a fire phoenix, but he had also advanced to possess his own wings, soaring above the blue sky and white clouds. "Awooo!"

The blue sky spreads its wings and flies gracefully into the sea of ​​clouds with the fire phoenix, soaring over the Penglai Mountains, traveling to every place, and finally taking a look here.

Lan Tian had originally planned to venture into the world with his brothers and sisters, but then he thought, what would happen here if they all left? The Lan family needed them and needed to grow stronger as soon as possible. So he decided to go himself, since he still had the ability to protect himself. Flying above the ancient city of Penglai, he looked at everything in the city with indifference and sadness, letting things take their course.
Before leaving, Lan Tian made a point of saying goodbye to Uncle Lei, though he didn't say it explicitly. He simply stayed with Qin Lei for a long time, chatting with Xiao Siqi and Liu Weifeng about everyday matters. Looking back, it had truly been several years; time had flown by. He had grown quite a bit taller and had blossomed into a handsome young man. Seeing how much Lan Tian had grown, Qin Lei specially had several sets of clothes made for him. A set of bow and arrow equipment—clothes make the man. Dressed up, Lan Tian transformed into a dashing young man, looking increasingly spirited and robust.

"This guy will definitely make a name for himself in the future and surpass his master," Qin Lei thought to himself. He was truly a handsome young man.

"Thank you, Uncle Lei, it fits perfectly," Lan Tian said to Qin Lei.

"It fits perfectly, you've grown up now." Qin Lei said thoughtfully.

……

One morning, Lan Tian quietly packed his gear and, before everyone else had gotten up, boarded the Fire Phoenix. He took one last look at Blue Valley and Penglai Island before vanishing into the vast sky with the Fire Phoenix. He was going to find his own path and fight on all sides.
