Chapter 81 One life, one pair
Upon entering the main hall, one is immediately struck by the exquisite murals on the walls.
The colorful paintings depict the daily life of the Peacock King and the Flower Fairy, while the stories about the Peacock Clan only account for less than 10%.
Seeing this scene, Li Wudao felt a sense of sorrow.
The two were clearly a match made in heaven, but they couldn't grow old together and ended up with a hasty breakup.
It's lamentable how unfair the world is; things have changed, people are no longer the same, and everything is over.
Gazing at the last cliff face, Li Wudao felt a deep sense of sorrow.
One life, one love, one pair of lovers, yet destined to be separated in two places, their souls yearning for each other...
He seemed to witness again the Peacock King standing amidst the ruins, weeping blood, his white hair flying wildly, his lonely and desolate figure.
Beside her, Jiang Churan stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar couple, her beautiful eyes filled with an unyielding melancholy.
Even though I knew all this in my past life, I still couldn't hide my sorrow.
Looking across the entire Primordial Continent, there are few people whom Empress Qingyao can respect, and the Peacock King is definitely among the top.
"Rest assured, one day I will definitely storm the Tianxuan Holy Land, settle all past grievances, and give you and your Daoist partner justice!"
Jiang Churan's face was frosty as she secretly made a vow before walking deeper into the hall.
She had never met the Peacock King, yet she had already received his kindness as her teacher. She would never forget this kindness, which she would never forget for the rest of her life.
The culprit behind all this is undoubtedly the Tianxuan Holy Land.
To be precise, they are from the Holy Lord's faction.
Driven by selfish desires and coveting the Peacock King's bloodline, he forcibly separated the lovers, indirectly leading to the annihilation of the Hundred Flowers Sect and creating various tragedies.
In her previous life, she waited two hundred years before finally destroying the Tianxuan Holy Land.
Now, I'm living a second life.
Her strength improved rapidly, and she received the inheritance on her first entry into the secret realm, greatly shortening the time by three years.
With such a foundation, Jiang Churan was extremely confident that she would definitely ascend to the throne in this life, unstoppable by anyone!
At that time, those people from Tianxuan Holy Land will have no reason to live.
"What's going on? Xiao Jiang is radiating such a murderous aura..."
Li Wudao followed silently behind, muttering to himself.
This was the first time he had ever seen a girl so cold.
Even though he possessed the Pure Yang Holy Body, he felt a chill creeping over him, a sensation as sharp and terrifying as an unmelting block of ice.
Before long, the two stopped deep inside the temple.
Ahead, there is a high platform made of white jade, surrounded by colorful crystal carvings of hundreds of flowers, which are lifelike.
In the center of the crystal flower is a coffin that can accommodate two people.
The coffin is made entirely of deep blue crystal, with a very clear surface, almost like glass, allowing a clear view of everything inside.
Li Wudao stopped and looked around, and two familiar faces appeared before him.
The Peacock King and the Flower Fairy lay quietly in their coffins, their lips moist, serene and peaceful, exuding an extraordinary aura. Their bodies were well-preserved, offering a glimpse into their former glory.
He noticed their hands were clasped tightly together, and felt a pang of sadness.
The Peacock King must have been utterly smitten with the Flower Fairy.
From the naming of the secret realm, the scenery within, to the Valley of a Hundred Flowers and the Peacock Temple...
Everything you see is a meticulously constructed structure centered around the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers.
at this time,
Jiang Churan's eyes reddened slightly. She stepped forward and bowed deeply, her heart filled with countless words, yet she didn't know how to speak.
Seeing this, Li Wudao followed suit, believing that a man of such talent as the Peacock King was worthy of his worship.
"Follow me—"
The girl spoke softly, stepped down from the platform, and went to a nearby stone chamber.
Push open the heavy stone door.
A dazzling array of colors instantly filled their vision.
On the ground and on the shelves, there were hundreds of treasure chests, filled with all kinds of treasures, including weapons, elixirs, and refining materials.
There are dozens of storage rings alone, filled with spirit stones and powerful medicines.
Wow, I'm rich!
Li Wudao's eyes lit up as he touched this and that, unable to put them down.
The Peacock King's treasure trove exceeded his expectations, containing not only king-level weapons, but also several imperial-level treasures.
"Little Jiang, how did you know the inheritance was here?"
While excited, he felt something was off and couldn't help but glance at the girl and ask her a question.
The other person got off the plane and headed straight for the spot with obvious familiarity, as if they knew the place all too well.
"There's only one stone chamber here. Is there any other possibility?"
Jiang Churan rolled her eyes at him.
She had been here in her past life; it felt like coming home. How could she not be familiar with it...?
However, I definitely can't tell the teenager the truth; that would be too shocking.
"That's it."
Li Wudao seemed to be deep in thought, his eyes revealing a clear sense of foolishness.
The girl's words were reasonable and flawless.
"Take any of these things you like."
Jiang Churan remained calm as she walked towards the stone table in front of her, seemingly uninterested in the treasures.
On the table sits a colorful treasure box carved with peacock patterns. The material is very antique, and the surface is covered with dust, giving off a musty, dusty vibe.
The girl's fingertips trembled slightly as she eagerly opened the box.
Two objects lay quietly inside.
One was a cultivation technique called "The Sparrow Emperor Scripture"; the other was an ancient jade with a drop of blue-gold blood hidden in its center, pulsating with vitality and extremely mystical.
Jiang Churan stroked the ancient jade, overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
In her past life, it was because of this drop of the Peacock King's life essence blood that she was able to completely revive the Azure Phoenix bloodline and reveal her unparalleled talent.
It can be said that without the catalyst of this drop of blood, she would hardly have achieved what she did in her previous life.
"Hey, what kind of technique is this? Can I take a look?"
Li Wudao glanced at it with some curiosity.
Seeing the girl nod, he picked up the "Sparrow King Scripture" and casually flipped through it.
At first, he mistook the name for a royal-level cultivation technique, but upon delving deeper, he discovered it was far more than that.
"This technique is quite extraordinary..."
He clicked his tongue in disbelief, and could vaguely see the shadow of an Emperor-level cultivation technique.
"Your eye is quite good. This cultivation technique has reached the quasi-emperor level. It was created by the Peacock King himself, containing his life's martial arts insights, every sentence of which is profound..."
Jiang Churan glanced at him, her tone rather arrogant.
Besides that drop of her own lifeblood, this quasi-emperor's technique also played a crucial role, saving her from many detours.
After hearing this, Li Wudao couldn't help but sigh, the Peacock King was truly a prodigy, creating a quasi-Emperor level cultivation technique on his own.
Such achievements are so remarkable that, looking back through the long river of history, there are probably few comparable examples.
The next moment, he sighed inwardly.
With the Peacock King's talent, if he hadn't died for love, he might have had a chance to become a demon emperor in the future.
Unfortunately, fate is fickle, and everything is beyond our control.
“We’ll split the treasure in the vault fifty-fifty, including the Sparrow Emperor Scripture, which you can also cultivate. That should be enough to repay our previous favor.”
Jiang Churan carefully put away the ancient jade and said this.
"Uh... this is a bit inappropriate, after all, you were the one who discovered the inheritance, I'll just take a little bit."
Li Wudao felt a little embarrassed.
Even if they are split 50/50, so many treasures, when converted into low-grade spirit stones, would be enough to fill the bottom of Misty Peak Valley, worth at least 50 million low-grade spirit stones.
Moreover, some of them are priceless treasures, such as royal-grade artifacts, whose value is immeasurable.
"This is something I owe you. How can you live with yourself if you don't accept it?"
The girl replied with a serious expression, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
For a strong person, the most taboo thing is cause and effect, and she did not want to affect her Dao heart because of it.
Li Wudao stroked his chin, wanting to refuse.
Honestly, he's already made a fortune from investments, and he feels unworthy of these treasures.
Moreover, with the dog system by his side, he won't lack resources in the long run, so he might as well leave more for Xiao Jiang.
After all, Xiao Jiang has the bearing of an emperor, and the stronger she is, the more secure I feel.
However, he knew Jiang Churan's personality; once she made up her mind about something, nothing could sway her, so he simply took a little bit.
Anyway, at worst, he can find an opportunity to invest in Xiao Jiang again, which would be mutually beneficial. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
"How about this, I'll take 30%. With your talent, you need these resources even more."
Li Wudao pondered for a moment and compromised.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Churan was stunned.
Gazing into the boy's clear and natural eyes, she could hardly believe it.
Keep in mind that even 20% of the treasures would amount to over a dozen King-rank weapons, millions of spirit stones, and numerous precious medicines...
Honestly, this was the first time she had ever seen someone deliberately harm their own interests and still have such an indifferent attitude.
"Take whatever you like."
Shaking off her complicated thoughts, Jiang Churan's tone was somewhat cold.
Li Wudao responded and stepped forward to make his selection.
As everyone knows,
The girl behind him felt a slight tremor in her heart, her beautiful eyes fixed on him with a complex expression, lost in thought.
[Ding! Jiang Churan's favorability +5, current favorability value 30]
Li Wudao was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but grin.
Indeed, deep affection is fleeting, while clever tactics win hearts.
"Haha, Xiao Jiang must think I'm head over heels in love with her..."
His strategy of retreating to advance was remarkably effective.
Even the arrogant empress is nothing special; she can still be easily manipulated.
If things continue like this, it won't be long before he's completely won her over, and then he'll be able to win so many prizes that his hands will be sore, thus reaching the pinnacle of his life.
It's not impossible that they might ask Xiao Jiang to serve tea and water...
Soon.
The once-full room is now empty; everything has been taken away by the two of them.
"It's time to go..."
Li Wudao stood in front of the palace gate, turned around and looked at the girl who was somewhat lost in thought, and couldn't help but urge her on.
Hearing this,
Jiang Churan withdrew her gaze and walked out of the main hall with a sense of loss.
Returning to this familiar place, after a farewell, who knows when we will meet again.
.......
Before long, the distortion of the sky became more and more obvious.
The next instant, everyone felt a flash of white light before their eyes, and they lost control of their bodies.
When I opened my eyes again, I was already outside the secret realm.
At this moment, the peak masters of the three major sects had been waiting for a long time, their tense gazes falling on their own disciples, their expressions varied.
Until the portal to the secret realm is completely closed,
The Spirit Martial Sect Peak Master's expression gradually darkened, and he growled, "What exactly happened?"
It's understandable that six people from the Thunderfire Sect came out, given their strength in previous years.
However, the Xuantian Sect, which has always been weak, actually had seven survivors this time.
But his Lingwu Sect only has a pitiful three disciples. Why?!
What he found most unacceptable was that Zhong Shan, the top newcomer on the *** leaderboard, had not been teleported out and was probably in grave danger.
"What happened? Why didn't Wei Kangping come out with you?"
The Thunderfire Sect Peak Master's expression was also grim and uncertain.
A martial arts genius died just like that; he doesn't know how to explain it to his sect when he gets back.
The two peak masters of Xuantian Sect, however, had completely different feelings.
"Haha, I didn't expect that our Xuantian Sect would send the most people this time!"
Master Du Quan of Ziyun Peak breathed a sigh of relief after being terrified, and couldn't help but grin, feeling great.
As for the Lord of Blazing Sun Peak
Cheng Yuanliang remained expressionless, his gaze subtly fixed on Li Wudao, a hint of killing intent flickering within him.
The plan was already in place, and all that was left was to personally kill the other party on the way back.
"You little beast, I'll let you live a little longer, and then I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"
