Chapter 212: Departure, Immortal Lotus's Fury! Half-Dream's Wounded Heart!

Chapter 212: Departure, Immortal Lotus's Fury! Half-Dream's Wounded Heart!

A massive vortex of spirit energy floated in the air, gathering an immense amount of spiritual power and continuously pouring it into Su Changqing's body.

This exaggerated cultivation speed caused his aura to visibly grow stronger.

However, when the first dantian acupoint was filled with multicolored spirit energy, Su Changqing opened his eyes.

It wasn't that he didn't want to cultivate, but the surrounding spiritual energy had been almost completely depleted.

"But there's not enough spirit energy?"

Xian Half-Dream, who had been staring at Su Changqing with her chin propped up by her hands, immediately noticed his situation.

Without hesitation, she waved her hand, and a large number of supreme-grade spirit stones filled the entire pavilion.

She looked at Su Changqing and said with a gentle smile, "Continue your cultivation. If these aren't enough, I'll take you to the Immortal Spirit Mystic Realm."

"That's not necessary."

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing waved his hand and said, "I won't accept undeserved rewards."

"Being able to cultivate in the Immortal Spirit Sect's blessed land, where the spirit energy is so rich, is already a fortunate thing. How can I let you waste more spirit stones?"

Xian Half-Dream smiled and shook her head at his words.

While others would have eagerly accepted, Su Changqing refused.

This might seem foolish, but his 'foolish' demeanor, like a radiant golden stone, made her unconsciously drawn to him.

"I've already comprehended the Soul Devouring Art. It's not too late to cultivate it later. Let's focus on improving your calligraphy first."

Su Changqing stood up and picked up the poem again.

"Oh, cultivation should have a balance of work and rest. It's not too late to take a break and practice later."

As she spoke, Xian Half-Dream pulled Su Changqing's sleeve and ran towards the outside world,

"Come with me. I'll show you around the Immortal Spirit World. It's so beautiful here."

Xian Half-Dream, who originally loved calligraphy, found that when she was with Su Changqing, she wanted to talk about other things.

"Never mind, let's go and see for ourselves."

Su Changqing had wanted to refuse, but seeing Xian Half-Dream's joyful expression, he eventually went along with her.

...

Time flew by, and more than ten days had passed in a flash.

During this time, Su Changqing not only taught Xian Half-Dream calligraphy but also cultivated daily.

Thanks to the rich spirit energy in the Immortal Spirit Sect, he could maintain a speed of filling one acupoint per day.

However, this speed was still too slow. If he wanted to break through to the Divine Spirit Peak, it would take at least a year.

Nevertheless, Su Changqing wasn't in a hurry. He planned to return to the Minor Immortal Sect and think of a solution.

Su Changqing's lack of motivation was one thing, but Xian Half-Dream was genuinely having fun.

In Su Changqing's words, she was dragging him around the Immortal Spirit Sect to enjoy the scenery every day instead of focusing on cultivation.

As a result, the 'Intent Character Realm', which was just a step away from completion, remained unachieved.

"Relax, I just want to break through with a stronger state of mind. It'll take some more time."

"As you say, doing as you please is the way. I want to play now."

Xian Half-Dream's laughter, like the sound of silver bells, could be heard from various places in the Immortal Spirit World.

This surprised the Immortal Spirit Sect disciples who encountered them, causing them to stare with wide eyes, thinking they must be mistaken.

After so many years in the Immortal Spirit Sect, they had never seen the Young Sect Master looking so cheerful.

"Damn it!"

Seeing Xian Half-Dream's radiant smile in the distance, Xian Yuchen's eyes filled with jealous rage. He punched a nearby rock with all his might.

"Let me teach that guy a lesson, Brother Xian!"

"He's too arrogant. Everyone in the Immortal Spirit Sect knows that the Young Sect Master and you are the most perfect match!"

Seeing Xian Yuchen's furious expression, Song Yi quickly spoke up, his tone somewhat flattering.

Song Yi's cultivation was at the initial stage of the Divine Form Realm, far surpassing Xian Yuchen's.

However, even so, he remained respectful in Xian Yuchen's presence.

There was no other way. He was an outsider who had entered the Immortal Spirit Sect through the Direct Lineage Trial, and the gap between him and the 'Xian' surname disciples was immense.

"Idiot!"

"Do you want to get me killed?"

Xian Yuchen glared at Song Yi with cold eyes and said, "Without the Sect Leader's permission, do you think that guy can get close to Half-Dream?"

"That guy is someone even the Sect Leader values!"

"If you move against him now, not only will you die, but I'll also face severe consequences."

Xian Yuchen wasn't a fool. Even in the Immortal Spirit Sect, he had countless ways to kill Su Changqing, but he dared not act recklessly.

"My apologies, Brother Xian. I was wrong." Song Yi quickly nodded, admitting his mistake.

After a while, he looked towards the distant Su Changqing and couldn't help but speak up, "Brother Xian, won't you fight for her? Are you just going to let an outsider have her?"

Xian Yuchen's expression darkened upon hearing this.

His mind raced with countless thoughts, but he couldn't find a way to deal with Su Changqing.

"Hmph!"

In the end, he let out a cold huff, his eyes filled with murderous rage as he muttered,

"Just wait until I catch the opportunity..."

...

Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, Su Changqing had been living in the Immortal Spirit Sect for more than half a month.

Meanwhile, the Liu Family, which had closed its doors, finally sent news.

The Liu Family Patriarch, Liu Tianming, led the entire clan to betray humanity and join the dark forces of the Dark Forbidden Zone, becoming a forbidden beast.

The many guests who had been trapped at the Liu Family's celebration, including young geniuses and renowned masters, were all corrupted by the darkness.

Northern Domain's Wu Jiuling, with his Quasi-Emperor peak might, wielded the Southern Domain Lord's Emperor's Dao Armament and beheaded Liu Tianming.

Subsequently, a forbidden beast known as the Forbidden Venerable appeared, forcefully blocking the Quasi-Emperor peak Wu Jiuling.

The two engaged in a fierce battle, leaving the Liu Family's small world and disappearing without a trace.

As for the numerous others who were also affected by the erosion, they too vanished within the small world, their whereabouts unknown.

One message after another spread across the continent, causing an uproar.

Various factions, even the Demon Race, immediately strengthened their defenses, preparing to face the emergence of the Dark Forbidden Zone.

Just a few days after the news from the Liu Family spread, Su Changqing also received a message from Wu Jiuling.

【Teacher is safe, no need to worry】

【Return to the Minor Immortal Sect first and wait for me. There's no need to be afraid on the journey, return to the sect with peace of mind】

For a newly entered Divine Spirit Realm cultivator to cross half of the continent and return to the sect, this was an extremely dangerous matter.

However, Wu Jiuling didn't seem to care at all.

Su Changqing had the protection of the divine consciousness of three Nearly Emperor-level experts, Su Nan, the Scholar Immortal, and the other one who was with them.

Not to mention some insignificant characters, even if a Great Sage were to make a move, they would only get instantly defeated.

"It's time to leave."

On a mountain cliff, seeing the news that his teacher was safe and sound, Su Changqing's worried heart finally settled.

Although this trip had its ups and downs, overall, the planned tasks were successfully accomplished.

Avenging his senior brother, bloodily washing the Liu Family, and obtaining a suitable Divine Spirit Realm cultivation technique, all were completed as intended.

"Changqing, come here quickly."

Just as Su Changqing was deep in thought, Immortal Half Dream, with a smile on her face, waved her small hand from amidst the distant sea of flowers.

"Oh."

Looking at Immortal Half Dream in the distance, Su Changqing sighed softly.

He wasn't a plant or a tree; during this time, he could feel that the peerlessly beautiful woman seemed to have feelings for him that went beyond mere friendship.

Her secret attention, her occasional blushing, and the dazzling brilliance in her smile.

Su Changqing wasn't foolish, especially in the past few days, as these feelings became even more apparent.

He didn't dislike Immortal Half Dream, but as for liking her...

The image of the woman in the red dress with her charming smile once again flashed across his mind.

Perhaps, the initial excitement of their first meeting had faded a little.

"Changqing, what are you thinking about?"

Immortal Half Dream approached Su Changqing, her beautiful eyes filled with a relaxed smile.

During this time, it was probably the happiest period for her.

"I'm leaving."

Su Changqing gazed into the distance and said softly, "The teacher has sent a message, it's time to return to the sect."

"What? You're leaving now?"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Half Dream became a little flustered and hurriedly asked, "Why not stay a few more days?"

"The Immortal Spirit World is vast, and we've only explored a tiny bit of it."

"Half Dream."

Before Immortal Half Dream could finish her sentence, Su Changqing looked at the woman in front of him and sighed, "I, along with the spring breeze, are but passing guests. We can't be held back, nor do we need to be."

"This world is vast, and your destined one may be waiting in some corner, anticipating your encounter."

"I was fortunate enough to find my destined one, and I hope you will too."

"Farewell."

Su Changqing's words were not straightforward, nor were they overly polite. In matters of the heart, if you don't cut it off, you'll only be entangled in chaos.

Since he didn't intend to accept her, there was no point in being ambiguous, lest the other party fall deeper.

"Destined one."

Watching Su Changqing's departing figure, Immortal Half Dream's face gradually turned pale. Her eyes, once filled with joy, were now slowly clouded by tears.

Only then did she realize that the distance Su Changqing had intentionally maintained was not because of the difference between men and women.

It was because there was another figure standing between the two of them, a figure he couldn't surpass.

"You've found your destined one, but I've found mine too."

Immortal Half Dream's eyes glistened with tears as she looked at Su Changqing's back, seemingly whimpering with a hint of grievance, "But what if he doesn't want me?"

...

At the Immortal Spirit Sect, in the grand hall.

"Changqing has been a bother for a long time. Today, I've come to bid farewell to Auntie Fu and thank the Immortal Spirit Sect for taking care of me these days."

Su Changqing bowed respectfully to Immortal Lotus, who was seated in the main position.

Since it was a farewell, it was only proper to bid farewell to the sect leader, Auntie Fu.

"You're leaving?"

Immortal Lotus pondered for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and said, "You've stayed for quite some time. It's time to return and report your safety."

Su Changqing nodded with a smile.

"Changqing."

Looking at the young man below, Immortal Lotus took a sip from her teacup and said with a smile, "Have you found a marriage partner?"

Su Changqing could leave, but Immortal Lotus was determined to settle the matter of the marriage arrangement.

With such an outstanding young man renowned across the continent, it was only a matter of time.

If she didn't secure him beforehand, what if someone else took him away? The lessons from Su Nan's past were still fresh in her mind, and Immortal Lotus didn't want her daughter to repeat her own mistakes.

However, at that moment, Su Changqing, hearing this, felt his smile stiffen, and his heart skipped a beat.

Seeing Immortal Lotus's suspicious gaze, he could only force a smile and say, "Not yet."

"Hehe, that's good." Immortal Lotus smiled lightly after hearing this, "As cultivators, we value lawful partners, wealth, and land. Choosing a Dao partner is of utmost importance, and we can't be careless."

"I can see your talent, and an ordinary woman will definitely not be able to keep up with you in the future."

"Today, I'll help you tie the knot and find you an excellent Dao partner, how about it?"

Immortal Lotus spoke with great confidence.

After all, whether it was talent, appearance, temperament, or background, Immortal Half Dream was among the top.

Even if you searched the entire continent, you'd be hard-pressed to find a few women like her.

She didn't believe that anyone in this world would reject her daughter.

However.

Hearing this, Su Changqing sighed and spoke frankly, "Changqing thanks Auntie Fu for her good intentions."

"But I already have a woman in my heart, and this matter of tying the knot, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it."

"Immortal Lotus, have you heard something unbelievable?" Su Changqing stared at her for a long time, his expression unreadable.

Could it be... a rejection?

In this world, could there truly be a man who would refuse to marry her daughter?

Immortal Lotus was stunned for a long time, and soon, an endless rage consumed her.

If someone else had said those words, she might have been angry, but she wouldn't have been furious.

But these words came from Su Changqing!

It was because of the same reason that Su Nan's son had once rejected her!

History was repeating itself. After a long time, the painful memories were about to be replayed on her daughter.

No one knew the terrifying rage that Immortal Lotus was suppressing within her heart.

Her eyes slowly turned cold, and she said, "Is my daughter, Dream, not beautiful enough?"

"She is beautiful," Su Changqing nodded without hesitation, "A peerless beauty, a rare sight in this world."

"Then, is Dream's talent lacking?" Immortal Lotus asked again.

"An Extreme Yin Enchanting Immortal Body, a talent that stands out among millions," Su Changqing replied with a bitter smile.

"Hmph!"

Immortal Lotus coldly snorted, "In terms of talent, appearance, and background, Dream is flawless."

"I'm curious, which young lady has made you willing to give up on Dream?"

As she spoke, she took a deep breath, suppressing the flames of anger within her, "I'll give you one more chance, choose again!"

At this moment, behind the grand hall, Immortal Dream, with her small hands clenched tightly, listened anxiously.

"I'm sorry."

Hearing the boy's response, tears silently slid down Immortal Dream's eyes.

An indescribable pain surged through her body with every beat of her heart.

"How dare you!"

Boom! Immortal Lotus could no longer contain her anger; she slammed her palm onto a nearby spiritual table, and a terrifying aura erupted from her.

She glared at Su Changqing, and a hint of killing intent flashed in her eyes as she said in a cold voice, "Su Changqing!"

"If I kill you, the one who loves you, what will you do then?"

The emotional debts of two generations combined, both abandoned by the Su family, Immortal Lotus was so furious that she was on the verge of losing her sanity.

"Sect Master!"

Hearing the threatening words, Su Changqing's eyebrows furrowed, and his body gradually straightened, meeting Immortal Lotus's gaze.

"You're being too harsh!"

Immortal Lotus looked at the boy with his eyebrows tightly knit, resembling Su Nan in his unwavering determination and refusal to yield, even his devotion seemed identical.

"Hahaha, good, good, good."

Immortal Lotus's hair danced wildly, and her expression was filled with anger that outsiders couldn't comprehend.

She turned to Su Changqing, her voice cold with murderous intent, "You Su family members are all the same, unworthy of my Immortal family's women!"

"Since that's the case..."

As she spoke, Immortal Lotus slightly raised her hand, and endless divine light gathered in her palm, releasing a terrifying aura.

Su Changqing's eyebrows furrowed as he witnessed this, feeling a bit perplexed.

It was just a simple rejection of a marriage proposal, why was Immortal Lotus so infuriated?

"Mother!"

Just as Immortal Lotus was about to take action, Immortal Dream rushed out from behind the grand hall, hugging her mother tightly.

"Only mutual love is what my daughter desires. Why force it?"

"Let Changqing go. This has nothing to do with him; it's just my daughter's one-sided affection."

At this point, Immortal Lotus was already at the peak of her fury, shouting, "Let go!"

"This has nothing to do with you. He should die just because he's a Su!"

Immortal Lotus combined her new grudge with the old one, attributing all her resentment towards Su Nan to Su Changqing.

"Mother!"

"Get away!"

Boom! Immortal Lotus waved her wide sleeves, shaking Immortal Dream off, and was about to take action.

"Mother!"

Immortal Dream's tears fell like rain as she blocked Su Changqing, kneeling on the ground with a thud, and said in a sorrowful voice, "Do you want me to feel guilty for a lifetime?"

"You..."

Immortal Lotus pointed at Immortal Dream, her fingers trembling slightly, and with a sudden movement, she slammed her palm against the side of the grand hall.

"You infuriate me!"

Enraged, Immortal Lotus smashed and raged inside the grand hall, venting the anger that had been building up within her. She cursed the Su family.

The grand hall continued to shake with loud rumblings, creating large holes, causing nearby disciples to flee in fear.

However, nearby, Immortal Yuchen seemed to understand the situation, his eyes lighting up as he sprinted out of the sect.

"Run quickly!"

Immortal Dream's pretty face was filled with tears, and she turned to look at Su Changqing, whispering anxiously.

Looking at Immortal Dream kneeling on the ground, Su Changqing's expression became complex.

After a moment of silence, he took out a stack of practice calligraphy and a simple yet elegant brush.

"These are the characters I practiced when I was in the Intent Character Realm. Studying them will help you break through the realm."

"Thank you for today."

Finally, Su Changqing and Immortal Dream bowed to each other in a respectful farewell before he turned and left the grand hall.

Immortal Dream watched Su Changqing's departing figure, and for a moment, she was silent.

"The Intent Character Realm..."

She gently picked up the simple brush Su Changqing had left behind and slowly began to write on a blank sheet of paper.

Tears dripped down, and as the brush moved, three characters took form.

The moment the characters appeared, an intense atmosphere of intent enveloped the room.

The calligraphy realm that had eluded Immortal Dream for so long finally broke through on the day Su Changqing left.

However, as Immortal Dream looked at the characters on the paper and felt the rich intent, her smile was filled with bitterness.

"So, the realm I've been longing for is..."

"The realm of longing."
