Chapter 283: Chapter 282: Reunion, The Scent of Brother (First Update, Please Subscribe)
"Silly girl, I’m not a heart demon, I am Lu Xuanji!"
At this moment, a voice came over.
The treasure sword on her neck withdrew.
Ye Feixue opened her eyes, looking at the heart demon in front of her with doubt: "You are brother... then I want to ask you some questions? Brother, who is your favorite?"
This question was quite odd.
Lu Xuanji laughed: "Parents!"
Ye Feixue said: "You really are brother, not a heart demon?"
"Of course!" Lu Xuanji said.
"How could you not be a heart demon?"
Ye Feixue murmured to herself.
"During the Purple Mansion Tribulation, during the Golden Core Tribulation, I encountered brother, all transformed by the heart demon. I suffered a little loss, and finally, with a harsh resolve, I slew the heart demon to cross the tribulation. But during the Nascent Soul Tribulation, what appeared was no longer a heart demon, but truly... brother!"
"I almost killed him!"
Ye Feixue trembled, her mind collapsing.
Killing a heart demon is nothing.
But if she killed brother, she would regret it for a lifetime.
After proving the Nascent Soul, her biggest dream was to return to see brother; yet just now, she ruthlessly almost killed him.
"Brother, you are my life tribulation!"
Ye Feixue said with complex emotions.
"Xiaoxue, you have become my human tribulation, which I did not expect!" Lu Xuanji sighed.
"The so-called tribulation should not be transformed heart demons, how could they turn into real people. How could people from the real world appear in the illusion realm!" Ye Feixue asked puzzled.
"Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreams of Zhuang Zhou!"
Lu Xuanji laughed: "Nothing is impossible in this world!"
"Indeed!"
Ye Feixue said: "You are brother!"
Saying so, she leaned into his embrace, closed her eyes, and smelled the scent on him.
That was a familiar scent.
On a heart demon, there wasn’t such a scent.
It really was brother!
Recalling how she almost mistook brother for a heart demon and killed him made her spirit tremble.
"Brother, I missed you! We haven’t seen each other for over three hundred years!" Ye Feixue closed her eyes, reminiscing about the past, talking about old times: "Brother, I was in the Chaotic Sea, where there is no order, killing and treasure hunting is the norm, slaughter is the norm, but there I also gained some opportunities while offending some people!"
She spoke, but just as she was about to speak in detail, she closed her mouth, not wanting to continue.
The life of a loose cultivator is not good at all.
It’s either being hunted or on the road of being hunted; it’s either fighting or going to fight.
Such a life is very exhausting, very tedious.
But she couldn’t stop, because once she stops, it’s death.
No matter how bitter or tiring life is, she doesn’t want to stop, just needs to survive, ascend to the Nascent Soul Realm, then return to Chu Country, to see brother.
Cultivating to Nascent Soul, going home to see brother, almost became her obsession.
In those dark years, such an obsession sustained her, steadfastly battling, defeating one enemy after another.
"Xiaoxue, you have had a hard time!"
Lu Xuanji said.
"Brother, are you okay at home?" Ye Feixue asked, "Whom did you marry from the Ye Family as your wife?"
"At first, I married a female cultivator named Ye Linglong, but she fell halfway; later, I married a female cultivator named Ye Wanyi. She treats me well, and even bore me two sons, one named Lu Xian, the other Lu Fan!" Lu Xuanji said.
Listening, Ye Feixue felt uncomfortable and subconsciously shifted the topic to ask: "Brother, are you also crossing tribulations?"
"Yes, I just proved the Golden Core, compared to you, I’m far behind... yet you’ve already proven to the Nascent Soul, and it’s the Tenth Transformation Golden Core... truly someone with great destiny!" Lu Xuanji laughed.
"But it’s still not as good as brother, yet I’m still defeated by brother. However, losing is good too, luckily I lost. If I had really killed brother, I would regret it for my entire life!" Ye Feixue said.
If crossing the life tribulation was to be at the cost of brother’s life, she would rather fail the tribulation.
On the path of cultivating immortality, there are longevity, proving the Dao, immortality, eternity.
However, compared to some things, these are not as important.
"I didn’t expect the human tribulation would be like this either!" Lu Xuanji laughed: "If I have to kill you to cross the tribulation, I can’t do it! I refuse to become what I despise most."
"The immortal world, full of twists and turns, and full of bloodshed, is an endless path of no return. Some people give up too much for cultivating immortality. Abandoning the tenderness in their hearts, they lose the determination within; abandoning the longing for the mortal world, they also abandon the persistence in their hearts; abandoning family and kin, they also forsake the warmth in their hearts! Such a heartless immortal, a lonely immortal, is not worth cultivating!"
Ye Feixue laughed: "Brother, your heart is still as passionate as it was before, like a blazing fire, ready to burn the entire world!"
"The Heavenly Dao wants me to sever emotions, to forget, seemingly only with Supreme Forget Emotions, becoming a slave to the Heavenly Dao, a puppet to the Heavenly Dao, can one seek the supreme Great Dao, prove the supreme position.
But I just refuse to sever emotions, I have endless attachment to the mortal world, endless love for family and kin, warmth in my heart, I just want to stand up and walk my own path!"
Lu Xuanji laughed.
Ye Feixue laughed: "But with us like this, you won’t kill me, and I won’t kill you, how do we pass the human tribulation, the life tribulation!"
"All things must obey the law of energy conservation. In order for the Heavenly Dao to manifest human tribulation, life tribulation, the illusionary realm it sets and the real world are indistinguishable, both will consume energy, won’t the illusion realm not last forever?" Lu Xuanji laughed.
Crack!
Crack!
At this moment, a crisp sound came through!
The surrounding scenery shattered like glass.
The illusion realm was gradually breaking apart.
Ye Feixue felt the pull of reality, her true self in the real world was summoning her; at the same moment, Lu Xuanji felt the same, the illusion realm was shattering.
"Wait for me!"
Ye Feixue said, her eyes filled with boundless tenderness and endless anticipation.
The next moment, the illusion realm shattered.
...
The void shifted, Lu Xuanji opened his eyes.
With his fingers, he calculated, only three breaths had passed.
In the real world, it was merely three breaths.
But in the illusion realm, it was an hour.
The human tribulation was crossed like this.
Recalling this human tribulation, he couldn’t help but sweat.
This human tribulation was somewhat terrifying, Ye Feixue almost proving the Dao by killing her husband, he almost proving the Dao by killing his sister, yet either choice was a human tragedy.
If afterward, Ye Feixue knew she killed not a heart demon, her Dao heart would absolutely collapse.
"This world holds malice towards me!"
Lu Xuanji remained silent, gazing at the sky, feeling the malice of the Heavenly Dao.
