Chapter 520: Chapter 495 Daily_1

"Brother Dong, I am writing to you personally."

"I admit, because I knew that my younger sister had obtained the Heaven Phoenix inheritance, and as a Divine Guard, you were destined to follow and protect her, I helped you unhesitatingly and selflessly in the early stages."

"But even if I hadn’t known about it, I believe that as we spent more time together, our relationship would still be as it is now."

"Pang Lin obtaining the Heaven Phoenix inheritance simply accelerated the development of our relationship to this point."

"I really didn’t intend to use you, I recognized your potential and capabilities, and also the fact that my sister would likely face the Old Thunder Dragon from the Dragon Cave in the future."

"After much thought, I realized that only someone like you, Dong Tianze, would have the potential to help her in the future."

"Recently, I’ve been in Panshi Fragment Land, so if there’s anything on your mind, feel free to come down and find me."

"..."

In the wooden house in Cloud Wilderness, Pang Jian wrote a long message on a slip of paper.

He transmitted the paper through Ghost Altar and then waited anxiously.

He truly felt guilty and was now regretting that he should have explained everything to Dong Tianze much earlier.

When Pang Jian learned of Pang Lin’s identity, Dong Tianze was still a cultivator of Yin Spirit Temple, and although they were not bitter enemies, they weren’t exactly on good terms either.

He had his reservations and thus held back.

Who would have thought that after the truth came out, Dong Tianze would blame him and accuse him of having impure motives from the start?

Now, after carefully considering, he realized that he indeed had been inappropriate in some ways. Thus, after much reflection, he had written this letter with fervor and sent it.

He hoped it would dispel the resentment in Dong Tianze’s heart.

Moments later, a paper flew out from the Ghost Altar.

He eagerly grabbed it, unfolded it, and then his face was filled with embarrassment.

"Brother, he left Pure Land but left behind this Ghost Altar which allows you to communicate with him."

"Brother, I didn’t expect you to write at such length."

"I thought you would be the same as before, stubbornly refusing to admit your wrongs even when you knew you were at fault."

Looking at the beautifully written three lines, Pang Jian could easily imagine that right now, Pang Lin’s lips were curled up in a smile.

Since Pang Lin had taken control of the Ghost Altar, she could have appeared directly in the center of it, like Dong Tianze.

But she didn’t do that and instead sent a slip of paper, probably... because she was afraid it would be too embarrassing.

"Brat."

Pang Jian chuckled and muttered to himself.

Then, another slip of paper flew out quietly.

"Brother, this Ghost Altar he treats as a precious treasure. Before, he was so protective of it, worrying that I might break it and would hardly allow me to touch it."

"Yet when he left, he did not take it with him. He’s not really that angry, he doesn’t actually want to leave the Ghost Altar behind. He left it so that the two of us, siblings, could keep in contact."

"Brother, he’s also someone with a cold exterior but a warm heart."

"Don’t worry too much. He needs time to think things over, and sooner or later you both will reconcile."

"..."

Reading the words on the paper, warmth flooded Pang Jian’s heart, and he knew that the young girl had truly grown up.

In the days that followed, it was perhaps the happiest and most carefree time that Pang Jian had experienced since leaving Northern Qi Fragment Land.

Through the Ghost Altar, he and Pang Lin stayed in regular contact—sometimes appearing in true form to talk, sometimes sending slips of paper back and forth.

Through Pang Lin, he learned that Pure Land treated her extremely well, giving her everything they could.

The rarest lightning attribute Spirit Spells, Strange Treasures, and precious crystals in Purgatory were all secretly collected by Pure Land for her, and they even arranged for her to enter several secret realms that few knew about.

—Pure Land was sparing no effort to cultivate and nurture her.

And she, in turn, was gradually developing a sense of belonging and identification with Pure Land.

Sun Bin, that malicious White Crane, and other names Pang Jian found unfamiliar were mentioned by her occasionally, with a smile in her eyes.

Pang Jian could tell that she lived a very good and peaceful life in the Pure Land, especially after finding out that her brother was alive and well and had become a direct disciple of Pu Zhaotian.

She almost had no worries anymore.

"Pure Land."

Pang Jian instantly felt a fondness for this sect in the First Realm.

Regardless of the sect’s reputation, they were able to take such good care of his sister, allowing her to live carefree and turn into the best version of herself in his eyes.

He thus harbored a sense of gratitude towards the Pure Land.

...

One day.

Pang Jian, who had been somewhat neglectful in his cultivation recently, spending his days simply chatting with his sister, saw an unfamiliar woman in the familiar Ghost Altar.

"Pang Jian?"

The woman was dressed in a well-tailored, elegant green dress, with a dignified and noble demeanor and skin like creamy jade, yet her eyes were full of anger.

"Do you just idle around all day? Ever since Sun Bin got in touch with you, she hasn’t had a proper day of cultivation recently! Don’t you understand what Sun Bin will have to face in the future?"

"Not putting effort into your own cultivation, only knowing how to disturb Sun Bin, I really don’t know how you act as a brother!"

The woman, whose real age was hard to discern and who didn’t reveal her cultivation level, scolded him and then said, "From today on, I’m temporarily confiscating this Ghost Altar you two have been using to communicate!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she vanished without a trace.

After that, all the messages Pang Jian sent were like stones sinking into the ocean.

Pang Jian, who had grown used to bantering about everyday matters with his sister and occasionally using the Ghost Altar to talk and see each other, suddenly became miserably uncomfortable.

"Hu Sister..."

He contacted Hu Yuanfei through the Sword Command, transmitting a message, "I want to ask about someone, a woman from Pure Land. She wears a green dress and has an extraordinary air about her."

"I don’t know her! Little junior brother, where on earth are you hiding? Why haven’t you returned to the sect?" Hu Yuanfei’s complaining shriek spread quickly from within the Sword Command, "What happened at the Demon Abyss Continent? The Demon Sect, I heard from Xiang Shengwei to several Immortal Realm Elders, has someone fallen into demonhood?"

"What about Shifu? Isn’t Shifu with you?"

"Did Shifu spoil you after you met him? Why have you stopped managing serious matters and started to enjoy inquiring about women everywhere? How do you know that woman from Pure Land? Is she a new close female friend, like Li Yuqing?"

"..."

Hu started by sternly reprimanding him and then went as far as gossiping about his ties with that Pure Land woman.

Pang Jian, originally intending to inquire about the woman, ended up frustrated by her nagging and dropped the Sword Command with a headache.

Half a day later, Panshi Fragment Land trembled slightly.

That huge Mysterious Turtle, with Pang Jian as its coordinate, directly returned from the Saint Spirit Continent.

"The Rock Bear has ascended to Demon God, and my quest is fulfilled."

The Old Black Turtle, who even took back his Mysterious Turtle Armor, communicated with Pang Jian for a while, and the ability of the Fragment Land to absorb nature’s spiritual energy instantly soared.

Deep beneath the ground, the spirit veins and ore veins came to life with his return.

"With the lost armor retrieved, this Fragment Land will undergo a great change."

"And I can use Panshi Fragment Land to elevate my bloodline to level nine in a relatively short time."

"I don’t aspire to rejoin the ranks of the Demon Gods; as long as I’m in Panshi Fragment Land, having a ninth-level bloodline is enough for me to protect myself."

"Pang Jian, I need to slumber for a while."

The Old Black Turtle was decisive; after a brief explanation, he donned the Mysterious Turtle Armor and entered the Turtle Breathing State.

"Rock Bear, a level ten Demon God!"

Just as he was surprised by this news, he saw a familiar figure striding through the clouds beyond the white mist, through the power of the Fragment Land.

It was Yuan Qi, transformed into human form.

Knowing about the existence of this Fragment Land and that it belonged to him, when Yuan Qi arrived at the cloud, he saw Pang Jian had already been waiting for him.
