Chapter 611: Chapter 529: Return

Wang Zijia, who found nothing different after a moment of inspection, felt the surrounding virtuality intensifying. He dare not dawdle any longer.

With a flip of his hand, two book pages blew up as Li Shengshi and Little Seventeen appeared before his eyes.

When the two emerged, they were shocked to see the ruins-like landscape of Hei Tan Valley surrounding them. Then their faces turned dumbfound.

However, as they lay their eyes on Wang Zijia, they both froze in place.

Although Wang Zijia’s face did not show any wrinkles, his silver hair seemed to tell a story.

"Dad!"

"Ninth Brother!"

The two screamed in unison, their words filled with tension, unease, and fear. It was so profound that their voices trembled.

Wang Zijia looked at Li Shengshi and quickly instructed, "After I leave, immediately take Ye Youqing and the others back to Kyoto."

"Ninth Brother!" Li Shengshi wanted to say something else,

However, Wang Zijia promptly extended his hand to stop him as he was running out of time.

"When you return to the capital, you may receive some preferential treatment because of my involvement, but you’ll also be targeted."

"Don’t worry about any of that, Nong Shaoyong, and the other two, like you, also have the potential of becoming Divine Monarchs. What they lack is time. Before you get enough strength, keep a low profile!"

"With Ling’er around, you guys will definitely have a basic security guarantee!"

"Ninth Brother!"

"Did you hear what I said clearly?" Wang Zijia unusually chided, interrupting Li Shengshi.

"Hmm, Little Seventeen understands!" After a slight pause, Li Shengshi gave a sincere response.

Only then did Wang Zijia turn his attention to Little Seventeen.

Her eyes brimming with tears, Little Seventeen stared pitifully at Wang Zijia, making him feel guilty.

At first, she might have approached them with impure intentions.

However, after raising the baby for half a year, genuine affection was formed.

Therefore, seeing this scene, Wang Zijia took a moment before revealing a bright, genuine smile, "Do you remember our pact?"

"Yes! Ling’er remembered, promised to look after brother for eight thousand years!" Little Seventeen choked back tears and replied.

Wang Zijia hesitated for a bit at her words, then conjured two iron token illusions by gathering mana, "Let’s make it official, then. When you find them, our reunion won’t be far away."

"Okay! Ling’er will remember!" Little Seventeen stared at the illusion in Wang Zijia’s hand, engraving it deeply into her mind.

With a bright smile on his face, Wang Zijia patted Little Seventeen’s head, "I know, our Ling’er can do it!"

"Ninth Brother!"

"Dad!"

Seeing Wang Zijia’s body become increasingly ethereal, as if it would disappear the next moment, they could no longer hold back their tears.

"Once dreamed of traversing the world with a sword"

"Witness the prosperity of the world"

"The young heart is always a bit rampant"

"Now you’re taking the whole world as your home"

"······"

Wang Zijia disappeared with a smile.

In the air, only a strange melody remained, lingering for a long time.

"Ninth Brother!"

"Dad! I want my dad, smelly ninth brother, give me back my dad!"

········

In the year of the Immortal Fall 113, a shocking devil cultivator wrought havoc.

A frontier city and countless people around it vanished without a trace, causing panic among the people.

In the face of this crisis, Sword Immortal Sheng Hong used a startling method to track down the devil’s footsteps.

However, the devil cultivator used a million people for a blood sacrifice, stirring up resentful souls like a ghost sludge, his mana boundless.

Sword Immortal Sheng Hong used an ancient secret method to present the Dharma Idol from the Buddhist door of ancient times to exterminate the demonic cultivator in the valley.

In the end, he slew the devil in Hei Tan Valley at the cost of his lifespan, but he too fell into the valley and died.

Before his death, he used up everything to evaporate along with feathering, leaving not even a corpse behind.

On the day of his death, the sun and moon lost their light, the stars dimmed, the people grieved, and every household lit an Ever-Bright Lamp.

In the countless years that followed, every family erected an altar tablet for longevity and paid daily respects.

Hei Tan Valley was hence renamed Sword Burial Valley, and Wanyu Divine Monarch personally rebuilt Sword Tomb City, carved a monument from a mountain, and wrote an inscription to remember.

I hereby write this biography, with the hope that it will be remembered forever by future generations.

········

Wang Zijia felt his vision rapidly shifting again, leaving the world and arriving in the raging silver river.

Under the illumination of the golden balance, he ascended slowly, but he didn’t immediately plunge into a future life as he had last time.

Flashes of fast-forward scenes began to appear. Unsurprisingly, this time the protagonist was Li Shengshi.

This time the scenes were more complete and accompanied by synchronized information from the Balance Scale.

[In the year of the Immortal Fall 113, Sword Immortal Sheng Hong extinguished the devil and fell. Li Shengshi faithfully followed the sword immortal’s last wish and hurried back to Fu Hou City while everyone was still mourning the loss.]

[The next day, Divine Monarch Li Lan appreciated the sword immortal’s sentiment and personally escorted Li Shengshi, Ye Youqing, Nong Shaoyong, and a turtle to return to Zongren Mansion in Daqian Divine Capital. He also left a Messaging Order Talisman, promising they could find him if they needed help.]

[The same year, Li Shengshi entered the Imperial College, defeated the prodigy of the Confucian generation, and shined for a time.]

[During this period, Li Shengshi, Ye Youqing, and Nong Shaoyong read books and practiced cultivation quietly.]

[However, as the saying goes, the tree may desire tranquility but wind does not abate. Inside the Divine Capital, confrontations occurred daily, leaving everyone cautious and exhausted.]

[The next year, in the year of the Immortal Fall 114, Gui Ling’er completed the inheritance and ascended to the Nascent stage under the watchful eyes of all in Kyoto, fully extinguishing the covetous ideas of others.]

[Under the careful protection of Gui Ling’er, the four started to grow stronger.]

[Decades flew by, the four and a turtle read books in the Imperial College, traveled together, did sightseeing, roamed the area of Daqian Country, and hunted down demons in various provinces. They ignored the fights and trickeries in Kyoto and lived freely.]
