Fleeting Happiness
As soon as Yun’er looked up at the four adepts, Yang Tian smiled and poked Yun’er on the nose, telling her to leave it to him.
“Shameless!” shouted the black bird, swinging its claw.
The black bird’s blasts split divine seas and pushed the four back to their astonishment. The bird soared across the sky.
Wu Clan Almighty adept: “Wait! It was a misunderstanding. Let’s go.”
The adept who spoke was ostensibly their leader. They forced Wu Yu to swallow the bitter pill and leave Thundercloud Sect. Yang Tian wondered if they recognised him after their exchange. Anyhow, Xing Shan went over and tried asking, “You’ve decided to come out?”
“I was held up inside,” explained Yang Tian, apologetic and awkward. “Sorry.”
“I thought it was you. You’re much stronger than I imagined.” Xing Shan then gave Yun’er a nod. “Since your friend is here, follow me.”
Yang Tian and Yun’er walked side by side. He felt relieved to hear what Yun’er went through. He asked, “By the way, do you have any yin yang revitalisation flowers?”
Yun’er pulled her eyebrows together to think, then, in a soft and timid voice, answered, “I don’t think so… I’ll go check the sect’s warehouse later. You must have reached Almighty Realm now, right?”
The staircase seemed to never end. The atmosphere was pleasant. Yang Tian stole occasional glances at Yun’er. Yun’er blushed and lowered her head. At the end of the staircase was a purple bamboo forest. Inside was a purple resident. Yang Tian saw two young men speaking to a middle-aged man.
Yang Tian: “Adopted Father…”
Lin Yuan froze and slowly turned to face Yang Tian. He got to his feet. “Tian…”
Lin Yuan never believed Yang Tian died.
Xiaobai and Xiaoqing: “Yang Tian has arrived, haha…”
The two were still kids. Both were pleasantly surprised and happy to see Yang Tian. Lin Yuan had ascended to Transcendent Realm, collected a lot of treasures and regained his youth and pride.
Yang Ba: “You’re back.”
Dahu: “Master Bird…”
Chubby and Xiaoji to the bird: “Why are you here?!”
Black bird: “Haha, unexpected, huh…?”
Yang Tian: “Fengzi is also out and about…”
Black bird: “He must be an incredible adept to still be alive. Unbelievable.”
Yang Tian: “Can a human really live for that many ages?”
They engaged in excited chatter for a long time. Yang Tian felt uneasy, however.
There were delicacies set up on a jade table. Yun’er brought some from Formation Sect to support cultivation effects. If an ordinary person consumed it, it would add dozens of years to their lifespan. Yang Tian was the happiest to bring out the monkey wine.
Xing Shan was invited to join the party. One drink in and vital essence burst from Xing Hao’s nose and mouth. Xiaobai tried to keep everybody away from the wine, cracking them up. Thundercloud Sect’s elders shamelessly entered for a few sips. Xiaobai cried over it. The young monkey drank a fair amount.
Lin Yuan was so proud he couldn’t hide his smile when the elders showed him courtesy.
Yang Tian wondered how long the happy days would last.
The banquet lasted until night time. Thundercloud Sect’s elders were dunk. Some even ascended, upsetting Xiaobai.
Chubby: “You picked up a divine stone, so stop being petty…”
Yang Tian put Xiaobai and Xiaoqing inside Ancestral Dragon Ring. Yang Xiao was glad to see them grow up during his absence.
The moon rose. A miasma covered the purple bamboo forest.
Yang Ba saw Yang Xiao’s items, a jade pendant and snapped spear imitation on the stone platform.
Chubby took in a deep breath and looked. He couldn’t trace Yang Xiao down via vital essence since they no longer had any; fortunately, he could find something as Vitality Wheel Eye was used to nourish them at one point.
