The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 255 A Year of Diligent Training, Three Years of Bloody Battle [Part Four]

As night fell, the bright moonlight shone down, illuminating the mountains and forests. Inside the Jade Purity Palace, on the throne, a magnificent edict was being drafted.

The man in the purple-gold crown put down the brush dripping with ink, stood up, and looked at the dome of the main hall with a sigh: "Now that the four deacons have fallen, there are also vacancies in the Hall of Offerings. The Jade Purity Sect is in dire need of people, and Elder Ling has been in charge of the Ghost Locking Tower for too long..."

In terms of prestige among the sect disciples, even Yi Dao is slightly inferior; Elder Ling is undoubtedly the best candidate for the next Grand Elder. Alas, what a pity… To have him is my fortune, to lose him is my fate!

The following morning, more than ten imperial edicts were issued in an orderly manner from the Yuqing Hall.

The entire Jade Purity Sect was in an uproar, with some rejoicing and others grieving.

The highly respected Liu Yidao was appointed as the Grand Elder, the Overlord Blade Wu Ye, who rushed back overnight, was appointed as the East Deacon, the new city lord of Sunset City Qi Cheng was appointed as the West Deacon, the Iron Hand Cui Hui was appointed as the South Deacon, and Sunset City's Li Fuhao was appointed as the Diplomatic Elder and Financial Ambassador.

Due to the heavy losses suffered by the Yuqing Sect in the battle, coupled with the defection of core disciples such as Leng Ningshuang and Xiang Qiubai, the position of Northern Steward remains vacant.

"Feng Ling, you are most familiar with Sunset City, so you shall personally deliver these two imperial edicts. You should also take the opportunity to visit some old acquaintances!"

Inside the Jade Purity Hall, Feng Tianjue waved his hand to dismiss the group of people who had come to receive their titles, and then threw the two golden scrolls he had left behind into streams of light at Feng Ling, who had been keeping his head down and remaining silent the whole time.

"Yes." After receiving the two scrolls, Feng Ling stared at them expressionlessly and replied. Then, his figure turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.

"Sigh... I hope this trip will help him overcome his inner shadows and dispel his inner demons!" The Jade Purity Sect Master looked sadly at the spot where Feng Ling had disappeared.

Cultivation is inherently going against the will of Heaven, fighting against Heaven and seizing its power; the greatest taboo during this process is the presence of inner demons.

The inner demon of gloom is a kind of inner demon. When one suffers from it, one's heart will be gradually devoured and eroded by the invisible gloom, plunging into endless darkness and enduring the lonely torment and silent pain in the darkness.

Since returning from visiting Feng Yuqing at the bottom of Bibo Pool last night, Feng Ling has been completely distraught and in a daze. The scene of Yuqing shielding him from a sword that day keeps flashing through his mind.

Feng Tianjue saw all of this and thought it was a sign of the emergence of a dark inner demon. Therefore, he used the matter of sending the imperial edict as a pretext to let Feng Ling go to Sunset City to relax and adjust his state.

"Splash, splash—"

Before the Jade Purity Waterfall, which cascades down like a silver river from the heavens, a streak of light flashed swiftly like lightning, piercing through the water curtain with unpredictable and eerie movements. Behind the curtain, the water gurgled, revealing a hidden world. A winding stone path extended downwards along a hidden channel carved out by craftsmen.

Suddenly, a phantom image appeared on the cave wall and then descended step by step, surrounded by dim light and the sound of flowing water.

This secret passage is hidden by a waterfall and is little known, making it one of the most secluded places within the Jade Purity Sect. The passage is long and winding, leading to the bottom of the Azure Wave Pool behind the mountain. At the bottom of the Azure Wave Pool lies a strange space, which was specially created by the Jade Purity Sect Master to hide and protect Feng Yuqing's body.

"Buzz, buzz—" At the bottom of the Azure Pool, there was an irregular, hidden crack formed by the collapse of the pool wall. Within the crack, one could vaguely see fist-sized, chilling emerald green orbs floating, densely packed together, ready to burst at any touch.

"Open!" The water around him parted on its own, and Feng Ling arrived here untouched by the water. He first waved his hand to disperse the green light sphere, then reached forward to explore. When he touched an invisible membrane, his figure disappeared under the flowing light.

Upon entering the strange space, the surrounding scenery was no longer transparent but quickly became clear, and the space inside appeared larger than the outside.

In the center of a strange space about two zhang in diameter, there was a heavy and elegant jade bed made of solidified jade carvings; the surface of the jade bed was covered with a layer of frost, and wisps of white mist rose from it.

Above the jade bed, a cluster of floating, seven-colored light pulsated gently up and down. Inside, a stunningly beautiful sleeping woman lay peacefully within the seven-colored surging clam. Circulations of invisible energy passed through her body, cleansing her marrow and essence.

"Yuqing, your cultivation has finally caught up with Senior Sister Leng, it's just a pity you're no longer here..."

Sitting down on the ground, Feng Ling quietly combed the green-clad woman's hair, noticing a slight increase in her aura compared to yesterday. A deep sadness welled up in Feng Ling's heart.

Who would have thought that he, who was so ruthless and decisive in the Valley of Blunt Weapons, and regarded as a bloodthirsty demon by the disciples and elders of the Valley of Blunt Weapons, would also have such a tender moment?

"But don't worry, after the aftermath of the Yuqing Sect is settled, no matter what the cost, I will find a way to revive you!"

From now on, I will take time every day to come and see you, to comb your hair and do your makeup..." Half an hour later, Feng Ling closed the Seven-Colored Emerging Clam, got up and walked out of the strange space. The tenderness in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by indifference.

Every time a baby hatches, it's a new beginning!
Life is not sustained by hope; rather, hope arises from perseverance… Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages present a pure land for your souls.
