Chapter 899: Chapter 894 Road II

"I remember now." Nan Shunqing nodded.

"Do you know what to do?"

Nan Zhaorong continued.

"Naturally." Nan Shunqing glanced at the purple jade flying disc beneath his feet. A trace of purple spiritual energy swiftly spread from under his feet into the disc.

He was trying to control the disc.

"What are you trying to do?" Nan Zhaorong’s brow furrowed.

"I have something to take care of, and I need to return." Nan Shunqing said lightly.

"What else do you have to do? Going back to that small world?" Nan Zhaorong’s frown deepened.

"I..." Nan Shunqing hesitated for a moment.

"I still need to go back and say goodbye to my Honored Master."

"Honored Master?

Stop joking around, you just temporarily lost your memory before. Now that your memory is back, even someone randomly picked from the family is much stronger than your Honored Master.

Finding a local as your Honored Master was understandable before your memory returned, but now that it has, are you going back just to be laughed at by the Imperial Ministers?

Stop being willful, going back now is just a waste of time." Nan Zhaorong grew impatient.

"But he is my Honored Master." Nan Shunqing looked seriously at the other party.

"I could crush him with one hand." Nan Zhaorong grew a bit angry. "People in that small world can at most reach Bright Moon Level spiritual energy..."

"He is still my Honored Master!" Nan Shunqing didn’t wait for her to finish, his eyes darkened. "Once a master, always a father, not to mention he protected me for so long when I was nothing!"

"Alright, alright... go back then, just don’t regret it." Nan Zhaorong felt helpless.

"But you also have to understand, this return journey is dangerous. Although you can rise to great heights once you reach the family, if time is delayed, there’s no telling how many forces will try to assassinate us. You must be mentally prepared."

"Assassination? Then let them come." Nan Shunqing said flatly.

"These aren’t the trash-like beings you encountered in your small world, some even include Lie Yang experts." Nan Zhaorong reminded helplessly, afraid he would become complacent.

"Life and death are destined, and wealth is in the heavens. If I can’t make it back, then it’s fate. As long as I strive with all my might, that’s enough." Nan Shunqing was open-minded, "Besides, don’t I have you all to help me on the side?"

"You seem even more carefree than me." Nan Zhaorong was left helpless.

She glanced at Murong Cheng beside her.

The latter, also helpless, could only release a strand of purple light spiritual energy from under his feet, controlling the purple jade flying disc to fly back.

*****************

One of the main peaks of the Pine Forest, the summit of Wenjian Peak.

Lin Xin stood with his hands behind his back, quietly at the edge of the white jade platform at the peak, gazing at the slowly rising morning sun in the distance.

Above the vast sea of clouds, a red-orange sun slowly peeked out, gradually rising higher.

The sunlight, initially a pale red, slowly deepened into a bright red, then turned to a pale gold, growing brighter and more dazzling.

"Many years ago, you also watched the sunrise like this." Dugu Lin stood not far behind him, holding a pot of wine, pouring it straight into his mouth.

She was dressed in an elegant green long dress, clearly in a graceful and ladylike style, yet sat like a rough man, nonchalant, with her magic artifact sword casually placed on the stone table, a drunken scent about her.

"I don’t remember." Lin Xin said casually. "I only remember that, in my life, it was rare to have such a time to be so leisurely and quiet, alone."

"Then you’ve lived a pretty tough life." Dugu Lin chuckled. "What does a person strive for in life? Beauty, wealth, power, fame? You have everything now, what more could you want?"

She took a sip of wine.

"Given your status, even your descendant Lin Hesheng keeps over a hundred beautiful women, from young girls to mature ladies, all sorts of charms to be found.

If you want beauties, you can choose from anyone in the world."

"As for wealth, it’s just a matter of reaching out. The wealth and resources of the Pine Forest Sword Sect can be wantonly squandered for tens of thousands of years without crumbling. And still..."

"What use is all that?" Lin Xin interrupted her with a rhetorical question.

"What use?" Dugu Lin was taken aback, "You really have practiced to the point of losing your mind?"

"What I want, you don’t understand." Lin Xin shook his head.

"You’re just obsessed, you’ve fallen into a devilish path." Dugu Lin drank a mouthful of wine, swaying, "Alright, your disciple is here. It seems he has something to discuss with you."

Lin Xin looked up, gazing towards the distant sea of clouds.

He saw three beams of purple light flying straight towards the peak, precisely stopping outside the summit, hovering in place.

The one in front was none other than Nan Shunqing.

The other two, a man and a woman, had a faintly thick and vast powerful aura emitting from them.

"Honored Master, your disciple is leaving." Nan Shunqing bowed respectfully to Lin Xin.

Lin Xin looked at him seriously, ignoring the two behind, his gaze only fixed on Nan Shunqing.

"When are you leaving?"

Nan Shunqing straightened up.

"Now."

"Go then, go." Lin Xin said nothing more. He just pointed to the jade pendant he had given Nan Shunqing. "Consider this a gift for you."

Nan Shunqing bowed deeply to Lin Xin.

"I hope there will be a day when I can return."

With that, he turned and left.

Along with him were the man and woman in the purple light, especially the woman, who wore a look of deep impatience throughout.

The three once again transformed into purple light, flying towards the sea of clouds.

Lin Xin stood at the peak, watching the purple light rapidly disappear in the distance.

"Have they truly left this time?" Dugu Lin asked, rising behind him.

"They’ve truly left. This was destined long ago." Lin Xin said calmly, "I knew years ago that Qing’er wouldn’t be an ordinary person.

This is his own karma, and it needs to be resolved by himself."

Dugu Lin’s expression was somewhat complex, but she didn’t say anything more.

********************

Inside the Purple Light Passage.

On the Purple Jade Disc, Nan Shunqing and Nan Zhaorong stood side by side, with Murong Cheng in front of them, piloting the disc.

The three of them were constantly on alert, paying attention to their surroundings.

"The Purple Extreme Passage must be reached by 6:18 before we can enter our Spiritual Power Universe, not a step can be mistaken, otherwise...."

Nan Zhaorong said in a low voice.

"Otherwise what?"

Nan Shunqing asked.

"If we’re lucky, we would enter another universe, if not, we would be torn apart by the chaotic space-time instantly." Nan Zhaorong calmly replied, "It’s like, the body is here, the head is a year ahead, and the hands and feet are hundreds of years back."

"We’ve wasted a lot of time, we must be careful at all times, it’s very likely that ambush attackers will appear."

Murong Cheng softly reminded.

"We shouldn’t have gone back and wasted time!" Nan Zhaorong muttered somewhat angrily.

"It was my decision, if you’re unwilling to accept it, you can leave immediately. I won’t force you." Nan Shunqing said calmly.

Nan Zhaorong fell silent.

The disc flew rapidly through the passage, twisting and turning from time to time.

Both Nan Zhaorong and Murong Cheng didn’t look happy.

Nan Shunqing’s meaning was very obvious, but they couldn’t just leave him. Without Nan Shunqing, the Nan Family’s grand agenda would surely descend into chaos.

However, they both felt a faint sense of worry. Nan Shunqing, after not being seen for years, had become increasingly capricious.

He was never emotional like this before. Can he really stabilize the situation when he takes over the family?

Nan Shunqing gently rubbed the black jade pendant given by the Honored Master in his hand, tracing the word "Lin" carved on it.

He looked at the rapidly moving Purple Light Passage ahead, saying nothing for a moment.

"They’re here!"

Suddenly Murong Cheng said in a deep voice.

"What’s here?" Nan Shunqing didn’t have time to finish asking.

In a few crisp sounds, three golden discs simultaneously shot from the passage ahead.

Three people stood on each disc, each wearing golden armor.

"It’s them! Kill!"

Without wasting words, the three discs attacked Nan Shunqing and the others from three sides.

In the blink of an eye, their hands gathered three different shapes of invisible waves, each wave releasing a dazzling golden light.

Swoosh!

Three golden chains flew out from the waves, binding the Purple Jade Disc.

"Freeze!"

The leader shouted.

"Three Bright Moon Levels?" Murong Cheng sneered, reaching out and grabbing, suddenly condensing an invisible pulling force, tugging hard at the golden chains that held the Purple Jade Disc.

With a crash, the chains shattered and broke, and the three golden-armored men were violently pulled together in front of Murong Cheng, colliding with a bang.

Boom!

The three exploded directly, turning into fiery red balls.

The fireballs scattered, leaving only some white ash drifting away.

"We must speed up. These three Bright Moon Levels are not strong in ability, but their cooperation is troublesome. They could be the vanguard."

Murong Cheng said lowly.

The system of the Spiritual Power Universe was very peculiar.

Cultivating spiritual energy, levels are not the key factor determining combat power. The key is the type of spiritual energy.

Spiritual energy is like special abilities, each person’s ability is different.

Some are common, some are rare, some are suitable for combat, some are suitable for logistics.

It varies widely.

The higher the level of spiritual energy, the higher the quality of the spiritual energy, that’s all.

But what truly determines power is the type of spiritual energy.

This is why Nan Zhaorong and the others traveled across the universe to find Nan Shunqing.

Nan Shunqing’s special ability, a third hand, is extremely suitable for combat and has infinite potential!

"We must accelerate...."

The three of them felt a shadow over their hearts.

The Purple Jade Disc flew at full speed, increasing speed once again.

Before long, another five golden armored men appeared, starting to besiege the three.

This wave of five did not come to fight directly, but chose to keep a distance from the three, not approaching.

Murong Cheng took the initiative to attack, finally managed to deal with these five.

Immediately, there was a third wave, a group of monsters with arms hanging below their knees, their spiritual energy was localized amplification, greatly enhancing local defense and recovery.

This time over ten Bright Moon Levels came, even Nan Zhaorong had to personally act, barely breaking through the encirclement and continuing on.

But the situation was clearly becoming more severe.

Wave after wave of ambushers kept appearing.

Nan Zhaorong and Murong Cheng took turns, constantly breaking through enemy lines. But the enemies seemed endless, emerging one after another.

In the end, even Nan Shunqing joined in to help eliminate the enemies, although his strength had not yet recovered to his original level. He was only at the Bright Moon Level, so-called Human Immortal Polar Region.

But it still had some use.

The situation for the three became increasingly difficult, occasionally relying on luck to successfully break through.

Luck would eventually run out.

When they were just a small distance from the Spiritual Power Universe, they finally encountered the biggest and hardest problem since they left.

Two Lie Yang level experts blocked the entrance and exit of the Spiritual Power Universe.
