Chapter 30

Above the Myriad Sword Immortal Sect.

An old man stood on a seven-star treasure sword, his long robe fluttering as he flew over on his sword.

A smile hung on his face, exuding an indescribable elegance.

"Bai Wuchen, this old man has emerged from seclusion."

Zhao Shanhe laughed heartily, releasing the aura of the Out-of-Corporeal stage, feeling extremely elated.

"Old Zhao, you actually broke through so quickly?" A sword qi suddenly slashed through the air, carrying Bai Wuchen to appear in front of Zhao Shanhe.

Cultivators have long lifespans, and a single seclusion can last from a few decades to a century. If it's for a breakthrough, it would take even longer.

Zhao Shanhe had only been in seclusion for a month, yet he had already broken through.

Zhao Shanhe stroked his beard and smiled, "I can't compare to you; you had an epiphany in just one night."

"It's all because of the guidance from a great master," Bai Wuchen sighed.

Zhao Shanhe nodded in deep agreement, "Indeed, the realm of a great master is beyond our imagination. A slight hint from him can easily help us break through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Out-of-Corporeal stage, surpassing even the techniques of immortals."

Bai Wuchen's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said in a grave voice, "Did you see today's heavenly thunder?"

"I came here for that very reason!" Zhao Shanhe also sobered up, "If my guess is correct, the location of the lightning is not far from where the great master is."

Bai Wuchen nodded, "That's right. By now, many forces have already headed there, and countless demon kings and cultivators have secretly rushed over."

"I don't mind the shape-shifting demons, but I'm most worried that the great master will be disturbed!" Zhao Shanhe frowned.

"I feel the same way," Bai Wuchen looked at Zhao Shanhe and suggested, "Why don't we go together? If anyone dares to offend the great master..."

A fierce look flashed in Bai Wuchen's eyes.

Zhao Shanhe said, "I agree! The great master has bestowed me with a second life, and the first thing I want to do after emerging from seclusion is to thank him!"

The two of them flew off together on their swords, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

Li Nianfan carried the woman back to the courtyard.

"We're home," Li Nianfan said with a smile.

He gently placed the woman on the bed and immediately checked her pulse.

Gradually, his brows furrowed deeper. Although he had already noticed that the woman was severely injured, he didn't expect it to be this bad.

On the surface, she seemed fine, but her vital signs were already cut off. If this had happened to an ordinary person, she would have been dead long ago.

Fortunately, this girl had a strong fate and managed to survive, giving him time to save her.

Looking at her pale face, a wave of anger surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but say, "Just because you are powerful, you can trample on life at will? Bastard!"

He remembered how he had been scared and trembling in a cave, and his expression darkened even more.

It's just that I can't beat you; otherwise, I would definitely get my revenge!

Seeing Li Nianfan angry on her behalf, the woman's beautiful eyes sparkled with joy, and she whispered, "I'm fine."

"You're so badly injured, and you still say you're fine?" Li Nianfan felt a deep sense of pity, "By the way, my name is Li Nianfan. May I ask for your name, miss?"

"I, I'm called..."

The woman's brows furrowed slightly, and a look of confusion flashed in her eyes. She had just transformed and had forgotten to give herself a name.

Her heart raced, and fresh blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

"Don't worry, you must have lost your memory due to the severe injuries. Don't think about it for now," Li Nianfan comforted her.

He was secretly delighted.

Since she had lost her memory, it would be natural for her to stay and live with him.

Considering that not having a name would be inconvenient, Li Nianfan suggested, "Why don't I call you Daji for now?"

Daji's eyes lit up, and she was delighted with the name, her cheeks flushing slightly, "Thank you, Master Li, for giving me a name."

Li Nianfan smiled, "Rest well, I'll go prepare some medicine for you."

He walked out of the room and called for Xiao Bai to pick herbs from the backyard, then started to prepare the medicine for Daji.

At the same time.

At the foot of the mountain, Luo Shiyu, Lin Qingyun, and Bai Wuchen met unexpectedly.

"Lin Qingyun, why are you here?" Luo Shiyu looked at Lin Qingyun in surprise.

Lin Qingyun smiled smugly, "I'm here to visit the great master, of course."

Luo Shiyu's brows furrowed slightly.

Recently, the Qianlong Immortal Dynasty had been busy dealing with the Grand Tutor and the Chancellor, and she hadn't had the chance to visit Li Nianfan.

She didn't expect that Lin Qingyun had not returned for a month and had secretly met the great master.

The Holy Emperor looked at Bai Wuchen and Zhao Shanhe in surprise.

"Master Bai, Master Zhao, you've broken through?"

Bai Wuchen and Zhao Shanhe exchanged a smile, "Greetings, Emperor Luo."

Sigh—

The Holy Emperor drew a sharp breath. Bai Wuchen and Zhao Shanhe used to call him "senior" and their sects were under his jurisdiction. How could they have broken through so quietly?

When did breaking through to the Out-of-Corporeal stage become so easy?

"It's all thanks to the great master's guidance," Bai Wuchen said.

The Holy Emperor's eyes widened. Although he had known that the great master was immensely powerful, he realized now that he had greatly underestimated the great master's abilities.

The group climbed the mountain together.

As they walked, they chatted.

When they learned that the great master had explained "Journey to the West" at a tavern, the Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu both sighed inwardly.

The great master had been teaching right in front of them, and they had missed it, losing such a precious opportunity. This was the most painful thing in the world.

Although she had resolved the hidden dangers of the Qianlong Immortal Dynasty, compared to this, it was like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

Luo Shiyu glared at Lin Qingyun with hatred and coldly said, "It must have been you deliberately suppressing the news."

Given the popularity of "Journey to the West," there was no reason she wouldn't have heard anything.

"The great master, in his human form, prefers to keep a low profile. I, of course, couldn't let anyone disturb him," Lin Qingyun smiled slightly.

Luo Shiyu gritted her teeth, helpless.

Now that Nuan Nuan had returned to normal, and Li Nianfan had finished telling "Journey to the West," she would probably never have the chance to hear it again.

Bai Wuchen comforted her, "Miss Luo, don't be disheartened. There is a scholar by Master Li's side who has recorded 'Journey to the West' from beginning to end. This book contains profound truths, and I also want to borrow it to read."

"A scholar who can accompany Master Li is probably not simple," the Holy Emperor said.

Bai Wuchen nodded, his expression serious, "I have observed this scholar. He claims to be Master Li's servant and appears to be an ordinary person. However, he sometimes stares at a falling leaf for an entire day and often mixes with the common people, whether it's a baby's birth or an elder's passing, he will always be there, silently accompanying them."

"I once asked him about it out of curiosity, and he said it was to understand the rules of the universe."
