Chapter 519: My Unwillingness to Part With Sentient Beings
Xiao Ai, the White Wolf, the inn, Peach Blossom Divine Brew, bonfire, the Bo horse, and the revelers
The scenes that took place back then seem to linger vividly before Lu Heng's eyes.
The enormous white wolf and Huo Feng sat beside the bonfire, gazing around. Suddenly, the empty inn seemed to come alive with vibrant energy.
They seemed to spot another flickering bonfire not far away, surrounded by a group of weary yet exhilarated merchants. Though they were not far apart, they could hear the merchants engaged in eager and animated whispers.
Huo Feng couldn't help but let out a sigh, his expression filled with melancholy. "It's a pity that Xiao Ai has departed"
In response, the enormous white wolf merely smiled faintly, feeling at ease. "She has her own destiny, we need not worry about her."
Regarding Xiao Ai's departure, although Lu Heng felt reluctant, he understood that Xiao Ai would not be in danger.
This is an inexplicable intuition, but the cultivator's intuition has always been precise.
While the white wolf conversed and exchanged laughter with Huo Feng, the Bo horse, not far away, remained terrified and trembling in fear.
This the Bo horse is not the same one from that year, but rather a descendant of the original the Bo horse. Despite Huo Feng's advanced cultivation and Lian Caiyi surpassing the limit of life and death, having lived for over four thousand years, their longtime companion of a steed didn't have such fortune.
That horse, which accompanied Lu Heng and journeyed with them throughout his youth, perished due to the depletion of its life force five hundred years after Lu Heng's departure. The horse before us now is the great-grandchild of that very same horse from that era.
Comparing to its ancestors, it possesses extraordinary talent and has already surpassed the limit of life and death, having lived for over a thousand years. Placed outside, it can also intimidate the top-notch cultivators and formidable figures of the demon realm.
However, now by the side of this human and wolf duo, it is rather anxious.
After all, Lu Heng's reputation, which resonated throughout the Heavenly Court, had also left an indelible and supreme aura of power in the hearts of the young generation of cultivators.
However, the protagonist of this journey is not the Bo horse, so its timidity and fear are not of great significance.
After a night of rest, in the early morning, Huo Feng followed the tradition to extinguish the campfire, tidy up the inn, and once again embarked on the southern journey, riding the Bo horse.
And this time, he once again embarked on the journey with the colossal white wolf, just like in the distant past, four thousand years ago.
Their pace was slow, relying solely on their footsteps to once again measure this vast world.
The cities and mountains they had once set foot in, now they stepped upon them once again. Passing through the Youtian Valley, they also ventured inside and caught sight of the colossal cauldron left by Wu Gu during her alchemy in the past.
After losing the Requiem Seal, the Youtian Valley has now transformed into an ordinary mountain valley, devoid of the mystical elements like mist and specters. The area where the Dark Spring Water used to flow in the valley has also been filled with regular mountain spring water, turning into a small lake.
And on the small island in the center of the lake, once the place where Wu Gu conducted her alchemy, now stands empty and overgrown with weeds. After several thousand years, the humble grass hut that once stood there has vanished without a trace, but the weathered, mottled grand cauldron still stands tall amidst the wind and rain.
In the drizzle, as the raindrops fell gently, half of the cauldron submerged in the heart of the lake seemed to represent the remnants of a bygone era, soon to be engulfed by the storms of the new era.
Standing by the lake, gazing for a long time, until that weathered cauldron was gradually engulfed by the rising waters, the massive white wolf and Huo Feng finally turned away and departed.
After departing from the Youtian Valley, they proceeded to the nearby Pang River.
Just like in the past, Huo Feng hastily purchased a boat and embarked with the white wolf, sailing southward.Diiscover new stories at nove/lbin(.)c/om
While intimidating the four seas, the Heavenly Court continuously aids various nations in eradicating the demons lurking in the mountains and wilderness. Compared to four thousand years ago, the current wasteland has become much safer, and when merchants and travelers journey through it, there is less concern about being attacked by wicked spirits.
In the face of the vast river of time, the existence of individuals is truly insignificant.
Even for a remarkable figure like the ancient deity, the Emperor Fu Xi, whose brilliance was unparalleled, his renown nowadays is only known among certain cultivators, let alone those exceptional cultivators who lived during the same era as Fu Xi. There are hardly any who have managed to leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
As for cultivators prior to Fu Xi, they have long remained nameless and unknown within the vast realms of the Celestial Desolation.
In the Celestial Desolation Realm, Lu Heng, despite his unmatched power and the awe he instills in people, who in the coming tens of millions or even billions of years, will remember that once, within Hanyu Mountain, there stood the mighty Wolf God?
Inside the library, Lu Heng was lost in a trance for quite some time, until the constellations shifted and the rooster outside crowed thrice, only then did he break free from that peculiar state of absent-mindedness.
Finally, Lu Heng transformed into his human form and gently bowed to Huo Feng, who stood beside him, and a smile adorned his face.
"I have reached the end of my journey here. Huo brother, the path ahead can only be walked by you alone."
Lu Heng's words seemed to hold another level of mystery.
Huo Feng, with his white hair, was slightly startled, realizing that the Wolf God had indeed made a breakthrough.
He chuckled and said, "The Wolf God has bestowed upon us an abundance of care. From now on, Huo Feng shall undoubtedly wholeheartedly continue on this path!"
Saying so, Huo Feng made a gesture of respect, clasping his hands together and bowing deeply, paying a profound tribute to Lu Heng.
While Lu Heng remained still this time, calmly accepting Huo Feng's gesture, he smiled and said, "It began with Hanyu, but it doesn't necessarily have to end with Hanyu Brother Huo, your path can reach even further. I hope that when we meet again in the future, your sword will truly reflect the boundless heavens."
Lu Heng's intention to leave was evident.
Huo Feng, this time, was truly taken aback.
"The Wolf God," he hesitated and said, "Shouldn't we retreat to the eerie world to avoid it?"
Regarding this, Lu Heng in his white attire smiled faintly, hands clasped behind his back, and said, "The eerie world is like fleeting clouds to me. I don't fear death, even if it means risking my life. Moreover, in this vast sea of sentient beings, such a lively and prosperous realm of humanity, it would be a great pity if it were easily abandoned, with no one to fight for it."
"Though all of you may not be able to undertake this matter, I, on the other hand, should step forward and do something. Even if unable to alter the overall situation, the closure of this era should, ultimately, be brought about by our generation," said Lu Heng.
Lu Heng's words made Huo Feng widen his eyes.
Although he was aware that the Wolf God must possess some form of life-saving technique and would not truly perish in the Earthly Catastrophe, to single-handedly confront the attack from the entire seven realms
Huo Feng clenched his teeth, about to speak, but Lu Heng had already approached him and lightly tapped his shoulder, saying.
"What you want to do is just an unnecessary act of arrogance, there is no need for it."
Lu Heng said, "You and I are aware of this matter, and that is sufficient."
"I don't abandon sentient beings, and sentient beings themselves shall not yield to the enemies of the seven realms."
