Arc 7 – Farewell to that Senior Brother
Chapter 170

Yu Mochen disappeared, and he was gone for a whole year.

He wasn’t around but his soul lamp was still fine and without any changes, so it meant that he wasn’t in danger.

Zhao Tian sect’s fellow disciples were puzzled. When their martial uncle who had led the group down the mountain suddenly disappeared, several disciples panicked and immediately rushed back to report the news. Upon hearing about the situation, third senior brother Shentu Cangxu personally brought people along with him to search but in the end, it was to no avail.

Yu Mochen was the disciple of Taiqing Lake’s owner, Huang Ling’er. In the past, people had thought that she was also someone who only trained and didn’t care about her disciples but after this incident, they realised that they were wrong.

She had almost turned the entire cultivation realm upside down and even sacrificed all kinds of magical artifacts that were not from this world, but it was as if Yu Mochen had disappeared in thin air. No matter what method she used, she couldn’t find him. Just when people thought that Huang Ling’er was going to lose her temper again, she gloomily threw away the searching compass and retreated back into her room.

The audience sporting serious expressions but are actually excited inside, “……..”

Not searching anymore? Isn’t your patience too short?

With regard to the outside world, Chi Zhao was just as indifferent as before. Spring passed, autumn came. It had been a year since the contractual ceremony and although they were living a married couple’s life, Chi Zhao’s cultivation speed had not slowed down at all. Just seven days ago, he had already reached the foundation establishment stage.

Zhao Tian sect’s back peak was like the Peach Blossom Spring written by Tao Yuanming. As long as you don’t go out and don’t deliberately ask, Chi Zhao really didn’t know anything. The days after the ceremony were truly wonderful and, after living together for a year, Chi Zhao who had been pampered with love no longer had any trace of gloom or paranoia.

He was in a very good mental stage. He didn’t let himself think about how much time was left or what would happen after he leaves this world and just immersed himself in the moment, enjoying every single second of his life.

He had circulated spiritual energy in his body for forty-nine days. Chi Zhao continued to maintain the meditating posture. He opened his eyes slightly and exhaled a stale breath. At this moment, Lin Changfeng entered from outside.

Chi Zhao who had just returned his senses to his body still looked a little pale, but he immediately jumped off the bed.

He lived with Lin Changfeng so Lin Changfeng’s room was his room. Chi Zhao rushed to him recklessly and Lin Changfeng caught him with no surprise. Chi Zhao stood on his toes and kissed Lin Changfeng’s chin, “Why are you back so early today? Did that group of old men take the wrong medicine?”

Lin Changfeng was the acting sect leader and would have a meeting with the elders of the other peaks every three or five days. Each meeting usually took many hours and Chi Zhao was used to waiting from morning till night, so he didn’t expect Lin Changfeng to return after only two hours today.

Lin Changfeng was a little helpless, “They’re all seniors. No matter how bad they are, they are your senior. You have to respect them.”

Chi Zhao pouted, “I’m not disrespecting them. Haven’t I always been polite when we meet? Since they’re not here right now and can’t hear what I say, it doesn’t count as disrespecting them.”

After saying that, Chi Zhao sneakily glanced at Lin Changfeng who naturally noticed that small action of his. Lin Changfeng chuckled lightly and gestured for him to sit next to him.

Chi Zhao sat on his lap. The two of them are now very used to sitting in such an intimate position. Just like Chi Zhao said, no one sees it anyway so they could do whatever they liked without a care in the world.

“The secret realm of the Fantasy Sea will open next month. Are you going?”

There are countless secret realms both large and small in the cultivation realm. The secret realm of the Fantasy Sea was a relatively large one and there are many chances in there that have not yet been discovered. If anything was found, it would be extremely beneficial to them in the future.

Going to secret realms to find them was similar to buying lottery tickets. Although strength was important, luck was the most important. One must be lucky first before they can think about whether their strength was enough.

The so-called strength would only be used in two situations.

Firstly, it is when a chance is found, and they are required to pass a test left by the predecessor or defeat the beast guarding it. Secondly, it is when one has already obtained the item and have to prevent it from being snatched by other unscrupulous disciples.

The secret realm of the Fantasy Sea opens once every fifty years. Before they go each time, the elders of each sect would instruct their own disciples not to kill or be killed by others. It was however useless even if they did that because there will be some who were willing to do anything they could to obtain the item so every time they went into the secret realm, there would be many who don’t successfully come back out again. Among those people, only 20% die from real accidents and the remaining 80% die from conflict between the cultivators.

Chi Zhao wasn’t interested in any of this so he replied indifferently, “Don’t want to go.”

So what if he managed to obtain it? No matter how great it may be, he can only live for fifty years and would need to leave when the time is up. Why bother?

Lin Changfeng had already noticed that Chi Zhao was different from ordinary cultivators. Chi Zhao was completely uninterested in things outside and it was also the same for cultivation. Even though he trained obediently every day, he seemed like he was doing it to pass time rather than pursuing longevity.

It was as if in this world, the only thing Chi Zhao was interested in was Lin Changfeng.

Although Lin Changfeng knew rationally that this was wrong but he couldn’t deny that every time he thought of this, a very sweet feeling filled his heart. It was the same at this very moment.

Lin Changfeng lowered his eyes to look at him, “Really not going?”

Chi Zhao yawned. The two of them had played around too late last night and he hadn’t slept enough. Lin Changfeng had already reached a stage where sleep was not required. It was like he had a cheat. Looking at Lin Changfeng who was still energetic, Chi Zhao was unhappy. He tilted his body and leaned against Lin Changfeng’s arms, burying his head against the crook of Lin Changfeng’s neck. His collar bone was too hard so he could only adjust his position and rest his soft cheeks against Lin Changfeng’s chest. Lin Changfeng’s eyes darkened a little.

Chi Zhao hadn’t noticed the danger yet. He sleepily closed his eyes and replied, “Yeah, not going. Isn’t it just going out to find something? And while looking for it you also have to fight. As a lover of peace, I won’t participate in something as bloody as this.”

Lin Changfeng: “………”

After a moment of silence, Lin Changfeng sighed faintly, “If that is the case, you can stay. Second junior brother and third junior brother will also be staying in the sect so if you need something you can find them, and they can help you.”

Chi Zhao had already closed his eyes. When he heard those words, he immediately opened his eyes and raised his small face. He asked Lin Changfeng, “Are you going to secret realm of the Fantasy Sea?”

Reasonably speaking, each cultivator can only go there once in their life. That way, everyone’s cultivation level is the same and it would be fairer. At the same time, it could prevent more experienced cultivators from emptying the secret realm and let it continue to exist.

But there were exceptions. For example, every time the secret realm is opened, each sect must select four leading elders who must have been to the secret realm before. They are responsible for safely sending the disciples into the realm and accompanying them inside. These elders however are not allowed to walk around after entering and can only stand at the entrance until the secret realm is about to close before bringing back the living disciples.

In other words, the existence of these elders is limited to escorting them to and from the secret realm. As for the casualties that occur there, the elders cannot interfere.

There are a total of 24 elders from the six sects. Everyone stayed in one place and they also played the role of mutual supervision.

Most of the leading elders are peak masters or respected seniors. Lin Changfeng as the acting sect elder actually had to lead the team himself?

Chi Zhao thought he had heard wrong, but Lin Changfeng nodded to confirm that it was true.

Chi Zhao blinked and immediately changed his words, “Then I’m going.”

Lin Changfeng laughed. He knew very well why Chi Zhao changed his mind so quickly, but he asked jokingly, “Didn’t you say you are a lover of peace?”

Chi Zhao calmly explained, “In addition to loving peace, I also love nature. I haven’t been down the mountain in a long time so I want to go out for a bit.”

Lin Changfeng oh’d meaningfully. He then raised a brow, “You just said that you don’t want to participate in something as bloody as this.”

Chi Zhao continued to explain calmly, “Whether it is bloody or not, it depends if I see it. If I really do participate, then it would be bloody but if I don’t participate and just stay with you and come back when the realm is closed without seeing anything, it wouldn’t be bloody.”

The more he explained, the more far-fetched it sounded, but Chi Zhao explained very seriously. Looking at his serious expression, Lin Changfeng let out a couple of low laughs. His chest trembled, the vibration numbing Chi Zhao’s ear which was resting against his chest. Chi Zhao grabbed his collar and didn’t back down, “I was just talking nonsense. Anyway, can I go?”

Lin Changfeng didn’t hold back. He lowered his head slightly and kissed the pale pink lips of the person in his arms, “Yes, and I have already applied for you. You are also one of the elders leading the team.”

“Huh?”

Chi Zhao didn’t understand what he meant, “I am also an elder?”

Lin Changfeng nodded with a smile.

“Why?”

With Chi Zhao’s seniority, he could indeed be an elder, but with his age and cultivation level, he could only barely be accepted to enter the secret realm as a disciple.

The lowest level of cultivation to allow one to enter the secret realm was the foundation establishment stage. He had only reached that stage less than a week ago and he was still not twenty years old. No matter how one looked at it, he shouldn’t go, but right now Lin Changfeng not only wanted him to go, but he had even arranged for a position where he didn’t have to do anything?

Chi Zhao knitted his brows. He suddenly felt that the matter didn’t seem that simple. Looking at Lin Changfeng’s deep eyes, Chi Zhao opened his mouth but didn’t ask anything.

Lin Changfeng was the acting sect leader. He had his own considerations for what he needed to do. In any case, he definitely wouldn’t harm him.

Thinking this, Chi Zhao decided not to ask. Lin Changfeng was originally ready to be questioned and Chi Zhao clearly looked like he wanted to say something just now but after moving his lips a few times, he only closed it and obediently leaned back against his chest.

He wanted to be considerate of himself.

Lin Changfeng’s gaze turned tender.
