Chapter 1452: Parting, Unless by Death, Is Not True Separation

The white cicada fell into a long silence before letting out a hysterical screech, Its been ages!! And you still cant change your damn habit?! Call me White Emperor! Not ABai like youd call a dog!

Its voice was seething with anger, as if it had suffered a great humiliation.

The golden cicada said gently, But you have not become an Emperor, and this great opportunity does not belong to you either, so before you become one, allow me to call you ABai while I still can.

The golden cicadas voice was inexplicably laced with sorrow and melancholy.

However, the white cicada couldnt care less. Its voice was cold and violent, On the contrary, it would be a waste if we leave this great opportunity to others. What gives those weak losers the courage to covet this kind of opportunity anyway? Simply seeking death!

Speaking of this, the white cicadas tone eased up, Help me out this one, and Ill allow you to continue to call me that in the future. Remember, only you will be allowed to.

After a short silence, the golden cicada sighed, As I said, this great opportunity does not belong to you. After we leave this place, I will help you find a path to the Emperor stage that is meant for you.

The white cicada suddenly became irritable and said angrily, Ive been trapped here for so long and wasted so much time. Was it all just to wait for a chance to leave? I refuse!

Its voice stirred up heaven and earth and shrouded the thousand-mile radius in an overwhelming killing intent.

The land felt as if it was about to collapse and sink, merely from the furious voice of the white cicada!

The golden cicada sank into a brief silence, then said, ABai, can you behave? The old you was never this irascible and disobedient.

Surprisingly, the white cicada went silent, as if recalling the past.

If you help me, no one will be able to compete with me for this great opportunity. But you have repeatedly refused. You said that I would not be this irascible before, but youyou would not have treated me like this before as well. The white cicadas voice was low with a hint of loss.

Swish!

The golden cicada suddenly spread its wings and flew up from the ice saint tree. A golden light surged around it, and swiftly, it transformed into an elegant man with a gentle demeanor.

Clad in hemp garments, barefoot, with a wooden hairpin in his hair, he looked ethereal.

He appeared extremely young, and his eyes were as bright and clear like those of a babys, but he gave off the demeanor of great wisdom and self-containment.

Like the drifting clouds in the sky and the bright reflection of the moon in the well, he was quiet and calm, but was also capable of covering the sunlight and reflecting everything he faced.

You The white cicada froze in astonishment.

For countless ages, the golden cicada had never once manifested a human form. It had hibernated among the leaves, as if participating in a seemingly never-ending meditation.

But now, the golden cicada was finally revealing its true dharma form!

I know you wont let go unless you see it for yourself. Since thats the case, I will take you to see, said the barefooted youth with a gentle smile that dispersed the murderous aura in the thousand-mile radius.

Everything within seemed to be sensitized. Grasses and flowers sprouted from the ground and swayed happily in the wind.

Youve agreed, youve finally agreed squealed the white cicada, who seemed to be taken over by excitement. Its figure then flickered and transformed into a petite young girl.

The young girl wore a white dress. Her skin glowed like the worlds clearest white jade. Her long hair was tied up, revealing a playful and beautiful face with brows like the crescent moon and eyes like a spread of glossy ink.

She was just so bright and delicate that one would not be able to believe that this girl, who seemed to be in her teens, would be the terrifyingly violent and ruthless white cicada from before.

She came to the youths side with a happy smile, This is what you said. Go go go, lets go now.

Her voice had become crisp and pleasant, like the sound coming from a string of swaying wind chimes.

Now this is the ABai I knew, sighed the youth emotionally before looking at the sky. The sound of the bell is for all living beings. After countless eras, it has finally rung, but there are no living beings to listen to it. How lonely.

The young girl, who called herself White Emperor, yawned absent-mindedly.

She knew that the youth had always been holding a grand wish in his heart that all beings in the world could one day become Saints!

However, she knew that such a wish was simply ridiculous to the extreme and was destined to be impossible!

Therefore, she felt bored with this topic.

The youth glanced at her and couldnt help but shake his head. There was once a teenager who mistakenly entered this place, and I had a chat with him. Do you still remember?

Stunned, the young girl said with a frown, Im too lazy to remember a kid who was at one of the five great cultivation stages.

The youth laughed, Chatting with him was pleasant. Now that I think about it, I suddenly recalled someone else.

The young girl was curious. Who?

The youth replied, That person came from Fangcun Mountain. That teenager can be considered his junior brother.

The young girl seemed to be very reluctant to use her brain. There are dozens of disciples at Fangcun Mountain, and theyre all different. How would I know who youre talking about?

The youth laughed, You know. You just dont want to mention him.

The young girl scowled, and a touch of hostility flashed in her eyes. You mean that bastard? The fighting maniac?

The youth shook his head, Lets not talk about him. Anyway, there are fifty-four disciples on Fangcun Mountain. Plus that teenager, there are exactly fifty-five. Only forty-nine of the fifty daos can be derived in the world. Dont you think its interesting?

The young girl was thunderstruck.

Meanwhile, the youth had strode away while softly chanting, No one suffers, hell is empty. All become Saints, heaven is set. This unprecedented path, we only seek

His voice was faint, gradually growing inaudible.

The young girl pouted and muttered, Golden cicada, oh, golden cicada, you can be really annoying.

Saying this, she hurriedly followed him.

The towering ice saint tree abruptly transformed into a leaf of ice and snow and landed on the youths shoulder.

Boom!

At the top of Dao Observation Mountain, the tribulation lightning cracked resoundingly as it reached the final moment.

Lin Xun remained firm, but his body was damaged and disfigured. Only his spirit still persisted, calm and relaxed.

Before long, the lightning stopped and the tribulation clouds dispersed. The land was restored to its previous clarity.

In the sky, Lin Xuns tattered body was bathed in brilliant lightning arcs, and his injuries were recovering at an astonishing speed.

Watching from afar, Zhao Xingye heaved a long sigh of relief. Only then did the astonishment between her brows gradually get replaced by lamentation.

Had she not seen it with her own eyes, she would never be able to believe that a person would be able to pass such a catastrophe in such a calm and relaxed manner.

Not long after, Lin Xuns voice rang out, Senior, its time to go.

Zhao Xingye looked up and saw that Lin Xun had perfectly recovered. His aura had become more restrained and calm than before.

But upon careful inspection, one could sense the terrifying power streaming underneath this tranquility.

This was the ninth longevity stage of those walking the Supreme path!

Not only that, but Zhao Xingye also detected that Lin Xuns physical strength had gone through an extremely astonishing change.

She couldnt help but ask, You...you were using the tribulation lightning to temper your body?

Lin Xun casually nodded.

The month of enlightenment before the cliff had benefited him greatly, and he no longer worried or felt a thing about crossing the tribulation.

That was why he had been fearless and borrowed the power of the tribulation to refine his physique, which he would never have dared to do in the past.

Currently, his qi and spirit cultivations had all stepped into the ninth longevity stage. His physical cultivation had also steadily improved after being baptized by the tribulation lightning, and it wouldnt be long before it would also enter the ninth longevity stage along with the other two.

It was worth mentioning that spirit and qi cultivations had always complemented each other. In fact, Lin Xuns spirit power was far more robust and powerful than his qi power.

It was all due to the fact that he had been practicing the Little Divine Meditation Art from a very young age.

Moreover, cultivating the Big Divine Meditation Art in the Supreme Realm had allowed Lin Xun to split his primordial spirit into three, which were the past, the present, and the future spirit respectively. This had brought his spirit refinement to an unprecedented power.

But on the road to longevity, the way of spirit refinement could only achieve so much.

In order for it to advance further, Lin Xun had to become a Saint!

Do you want to go back to the camp and take a look first? asked Zhao Xingye.

A bit stunned, Lin Xun replied, Naturally.

When Lin Xun returned to Yuncang Mountain Camp on the same day, he had never before been more warmly received.

A grand banquet was set up and hosted by Zhao Xingye, who personally entertained Lin Xun.

A group of powerful experts at their table looked at Lin Xun, and they couldnt help but recall back to two years ago, when he had just arrived at the camp.

At that time, it was also Zhao Xingye who had personally hosted a banquet to welcome him, but the atmosphere hadnt been very warm, and there hadnt been many experts present.

Shortly after that banquet, Lin Xun had received all sorts of special treatment, causing many people to be jealous. The situation had gone on until they had all regarded him as a parasite.

Everything was completely different now., Lin Xun had executed nine powerful experts of the alliance and turned the tide by himself.

Because of his outstanding feat, the Ziyao Camp had recovered from its depressing streak and reversed the situation by destroying the Brute Warriors and the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races camp!

Thinking back to all this, the crowd felt as if they were dreaming.

Naturally, no one mentioned the word parasite.

The banquet was very lively. Everyone was making toasts to Lin Xun, and he didnt refuse. Even when Qin Feiyu came to make a toast, he didnt ignore or reject him.

This caused many people to sigh.

Lin Xun was truly different from the rest of them, and so was the path he took.

Perhaps this was why he wouldnt hold grudges over some minor conflicts

After the banquet was over, Lin Xun met up with his comrade group of Shi Yu, Ning Meng, Ye Xiaoqi, Gong Ming, Li Duxing They chatted over a great amount of wine.

Even Li Duxing got drunk, and the quiet man turned into a chatterbox, pulling on everyone to ramble on about a bunch of nonsense.

That night, Lin Xun drank, laughed, listened, and carved everything in his memory.

He knew that such encounters, gatherings, and talkswould only become fewer and fewer in the future

Early the next morning, Lin Xun quietly left with Zhao Xingye without saying goodbye.

Parting, unless by death, was not true separation. Therefore, there was no need to meet for one last time and say goodbye in every parting.
