Fantasy: I Can Instantly Comprehend Everything Chapter 171 – 171 The Promise Between Cultivators

171 The Promise Between Cultivators
For the past 1000 years, no disciple of the Myriad Flower School was allowed to enter the Perilous Stronghold except for the sect leader and the Grand Elder.

Among the five upright sects and all the other sects in the world, the Myriad Flower School's Perilous Stronghold was the most mysterious. Even when Ling Qingyun took over the position as the head of the five upright sects, he had never heard about this place from the previous sect leader.

The Perilous Stronghold was a huge basin. There were many depressions in it. The basin was like a huge mouth on a huge plain, roaring toward the sky.

However, since the stronghold was called Perilous, it meant that this was no ordinary basin.

Ling Qingyun was currently standing at the edge of the basin. She was frowning as she peered down.

Countless colorful butterflies were dancing in the air, forming a colorful ribbon that interweaved over the basin. It was a beautiful sight!

In contrast to the various colorful butterflies, there was only one kind of flower in full bloom in the entire basin. It had the color of a flame and its stem was thin. It was like a red spider lily that was swaying in the wind.

“These are Three Lifetimes Flowers. I didn't expect the Myriad Flower School to have such a place. This flower can save the dying and heal the injured. It can regrow bones and revive the dead. It can also easily take the life of a cultivator! Each flower can easily kill a foundation establishment cultivator with its poison! With so many Three Lifetimes Flowers present here, even golden core cultivators wouldn't dare to set foot in this place!”

Ling Qingyun had originally thought that within the entire five upright sects, the Spirit Valley was ranked first, followed by the powerful Heavenly Star Institute. However, it didn't seem so now.

If the Myriad Flower School used the poison of the Three Lifetimes Flower to coat their weapons, they would be unrivaled in the world!

Moreover, there were the colorful butterflies that gathered honey from the Three Lifetimes Flowers all day long. Each of them could be cultivated into a spiritual beast, greatly strengthening cultivators!

Ling Qingyun realized that if the members of the Myriad Flower School had a colorful butterfly and the poison of the Three Lifetimes Flower, the members of Spirit Valley wouldn't be able to stop them.

“Humph, it might be a little too late to think about these things now,” Ling Qingyun thought as she shook her head. After all, the matter she was about to face was much more important than the battle between the five upright sects. Compared to that, the battle between the five upright sects was child's play.

“Zhou Yun, this is the secret place I found, the Perilous Stronghold in the Myriad Flower School. Under the cover of the Three Lifetimes Flowers and the butterflies, 100,000 cultivators could stay hidden. Even if Xin Yu took the risk to come in here, she won't be able to discover our ambush in time,” Ling Qingyun said as she looked at Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun gazed across the Perilous Stronghold. He was infatuated with the butterflies and the Three Lifetimes Flowers for a long while.

He had never forgotten the other name of the Three Lifetimes Flower, which was the flower that Senior Brother Jian Xin had been searching for!

“It's so beautiful. Senior Brother Jian Xin has returned to the void. I wonder if Senior Sister Lingyun can be buried here.” Zhou Yun did not make many promises in his life. Jian Xin's request was one of the rare few.

“Greetings, Sect Leader, Junior Brother Zhou Yun, and Junior Sister Qiao'er.” A beautiful figure slowly walked over from the distance. It was Su Wanyi.

When Qiao'er saw her, she happily went up to greet her. Qiao'er hadn't seen Su Wanyi for a long time after the last war against the heretic cultivators.

After Su Wanyi reported to Ling Qingyun about the arrangement of the Divine Gate's Nine Heavens Array, she chatted happily with Qiao'er.

Zhou Yun looked at Su Wanyi. He realized that she seemed to have become more mature and steady. However, in contrast, the gentleness on her face had almost disappeared.

Only when Su Wanyi was talking to Qiao'er did Zhou Yun see her rare smile.

At this moment, Zhou Yun finally realized that the silly senior sister who drank wine with bathwater whom he encountered in the cave abode was Su Wanyi's elder sister. Moreover, Su Wanyi was extremely attached to Su Lingyun. One could imagine how much of a blow Su Wanyi had suffered after the latter's death!

“Eldest Senior Sister Su Wanyi,” Zhou Yun greeted her. Su Wanyi's body stiffened slightly. She then looked at Zhou Yun with a warm smile on her face.

Zhou Yun opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not say anything. After all, he had not spoken much with Su Lingyun. Besides the failed promise from Su Lingyun to keep him safe, Zhou Yun interacted mostly with Jian Xin.

“Don't worry. Although Senior Brother Jian Xin only has a cenotaph here, I have fulfilled their last wish,” said Su Wanyi in a soft and gentle voice.

She looked towards the Perilous Stronghold, where countless colorful butterflies were fluttering and Three Lifetimes Flowers were blooming.

Zhou Yun followed her gaze and saw that there were two small mounds in the center of the basin. There were two broken spiritual swords on top of them.

He immediately understood whose graves were there. He lamented, “They are both heaven's favorites, yet this is their ending.”

“Thank you, Junior Brother Zhou Yun.” Su Wanyi walked in front of Zhou Yun and stood on her tiptoes. She stretched out her hand and rubbed his head with all her might. Then, she smiled and whispered something in his ear before she turned around and left, returning to the Divine Gate's Nine Heavens Array.

Zhou Yun touched his ear, feeling a slight warmth. Qiao'er puffed up her cheeks in anger and then looked at Su Wanyi with a look of understanding.

After all, it was just a thank you, and Qiao'er was not that narrow-minded.

“Was that a thank you for accompanying Su Lingyun in her last moments?” Zhou Yun murmured. Although he didn't do it intentionally, it didn't make a difference.

“Zombie Su Lingyun. I don't know what state she was in at that time. Her soul was sealed, and her body was controlled by the remnant soul,” Zhou Yun murmured as he shook his head. Anyway, the matter between Su Lingyun and Jian Xin had come to an end. He should have completed what he had promised them.

At this moment, after confirming that he had completed their request, Zhou Yun felt more relaxed. It seemed that his state of mind had also improved.

“As expected, cultivators should not casually agree to other people's requests. However, it seems that there are some benefits to completing the request. There are pros and cons.” Zhou Yun shook his head as he looked at Ling Qingyun.

At this moment, Ling Qingyun had already confirmed with the disciples of the five upright sects all the arrangements in the Myriad Flower School's Perilous Stronghold to ensure that it could become the array center of the Divine Gate's Nine Heavens Array at any time.

Zhou Yun knew that she would approach him next. After all, he was the most crucial piece of the array besides the array center.

“Zhou Yun, do you still remember our earlier negotiation?” Ling Qingyun looked at him.

“I remember. Let's call a halt to this battle before we engage in a pointless fight with Xin Yu,” Zhou Yun replied.
