Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Cattle and Sheep on the Frontier
Jiang Fan nodded, “Before this group of monks leave, you should stay by my side.”
“However, I haven't decided where to go yet.”
Back to the Nine-Sect Land?
Could anyone there block the monk at the Vajra Fruit Position?
The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion could, but Jiang Fan is not a Tianji Pavilion Disciple yet.
Would the Pavilion Master go against the White Horse Temple for him?
That is an unknown.
Hope cannot be placed there.
He can only rely on himself and the Sea Charm.
“Brother, how about hiding in the Secret Realm with me?”
“There's an ancient array there that isolates detection.”
“Even if that Vajra Fruit Position has incredible skills, they won't find you, brother.”
That powerful?
It can even isolate the detection of the Vajra Fruit Position?
He couldn't help but look at the Sea Charm.
The latter nodded and said, “It's an ancient place our clan discovered by accident.”
“Probably left over from an ancient battlefield.”
“There indeed remains a fairly complete array there, capable of concealing external detection.”
Mentioning the ancient battlefield gives Jiang Fan a psychological shadow.
Could there be remnants of an Ancient Giant hiding again?
However, if Ling Shu is right.
This Northland Secret Realm is indeed a unique hiding place.
After a brief moment of thought.
Since he has already escaped the Demon Emperor Court, leaving sooner or later makes no difference.
There is no rush now.
“Alright, let's go to the Northland Secret Realm.”
Upon hearing this, Ling Shu showed joy and smiled sweetly.
Jiang Fan was puzzled, “Why are you smiling?”
“Aren't you afraid of me at all?”
“Even if I don't kill you, I might take you back to the Human Clan.”
“By then, you'd be bound hand and foot like a prisoner.”
Ling Shu shook her head and laughed, “No, it won't be like that.”
“Brother wouldn't allow others to treat me that way.”
Jiang Fan retorted, “Then I'll find someone and betroth you to them.”
“Just like I'm forced to marry Liu Li!”
Ling Shu blushed and anxiously said, “I don't want that!”
After a moment, she murmured softly, “If it were brother…that would be different.”
Jiang Fan's lips twitched.
This girl, she's so good at sweet-talking.
Several days later.
The group arrived safely at the end of the northern lands!
The further north they went, the more moist and warm the air became.
After crossing a towering snow mountain that reached the clouds.
What met their eyes was no longer a world of ice and snow.
But rather a vast, boundless grassland.
The warm wind blew, the lush grass rolled like waves, revealing the backs of small animals leisurely foraging in the grass.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but recall a childhood nursery rhyme.
“The sky is vast and the wild is boundless, the wind blows the grass low to reveal the cattle and sheep.”
“I always thought it was the imagination of the ancients?”
He murmured unconsciously.
Ling Shu watched in a daze.
“Is there really such a place in the world?”
“So beautiful.”
“Look, there are cows and sheep there.”
Having been accustomed to a world of ice and snow, the green earth before her filled Ling Shu's eyes with wonder.
She immediately fell in love with this place.
No worldly troubles, no conniving against others.
Just freedom like the wind.
The Sea Charm was also stunned for a moment and said, “A paradise on earth.”
“But unfortunately, it's out of reach for cultivators like us who defy heaven.”
Ling Shu's eyes were filled with romantic hues, “Why would it be?”
“When my cultivation is sufficient, I will live here.”
“Build a wooden house, chop wood, brew tea, and read books every day.”
“Herd horses on the prairie, tend sheep under the sky.”
“Watch the clouds drift by during the day, the sun rise in the east and set in the west.”
“Count shooting stars at night, listen to the whispers of the stars.”
“In dreams, the bright moon as a companion, awake, the morning light shines on us.”
“How wonderful, don't you guys want that too?”
The Sea Charm slightly shook her head.
Once on the path of cultivation, where is there such great freedom and leisure?
Many things and people will bind you.
Pushing one continually forward.
Even weary, one has to keep moving.
The occasional leisure to see the scenery along the way is precious.
Wanting to withdraw is extremely difficult.
She was about to remind her, of family responsibilities and the expectations of the elders.
But her mind was interrupted by Jiang Fan's voice.
“Let her have a dream.”
The Sea Charm was startled, looked at Jiang Fan, and smiled inwardly, thinking:
“The master is indeed a gentle person.”
Jiang Fan smiled softly without responding.
Looking at the girl full of dreams.
His heart was touched with tenderness.
Although she was often insincere with people.
And frequently played mind games.
However, in her heart, there was still a unique innocence and romance.
“Then cultivate well.”
“I hope you achieve that life soon.”
Jiang Fan said softly.
Liu Li smiled brightly and said, “Then, brother, you come too!”
“I'll build a house for you too.”
“Right next to mine.”
Jiang Fan smiled.
How could he have such leisure?
But still, he nodded.
“Sure, together we'll herd horses and tend sheep.”
“Together, away from the world's clamor.”
Ling Shu flicked her hair and said, “Although brother is just humoring me.”
“I'm still very happy with your answer.”
“Let's go!”
“The Secret Realm is not far away now.”
She jumped off the flying beast, lifting her light green skirt, running on the prairie.
Like a spirit returning to nature.
Jiang Fan smiled, watching her figure, then proceeded in silence.
By midday.
At the edge of the prairie.
A long mountain range stretched across the horizon.
Ling Shu's bare white feet were stained with grass juice and soil, her face radiant with satisfaction.
“Please excuse my behavior, brother.”
She pointed at the mountains ahead and said, “That is where our Secret Realm lies.”
Jiang Fan followed her gesture, deep in thought.
“The Secret Realm is so far from the Demon Emperor Court.”
“The Demon Emperor should have someone stationed here, right?”
“Why is there no one?”
Only then did Ling Shu realize something was off.
Frowning, she said, “This mountain range is called Qingshan.”
“It's Silver Fox Tribe's territory.”
“The task of guarding naturally falls to the Silver Fox Tribe.”
“Yet we're at the foot of the mountains, and no Silver Fox member has noticed us?”
“It's somewhat negligent.”
Jiang Fan was speechless.
The Silver Fox Tribe?
Isn't that Concubine Yunxia's tribe?
After days of traveling, did he end up on her turf?
What a twist of fate!
“It's better not to be discovered.”
“Let's head to the Secret Realm quickly.”
Jiang Fan's mouth twitched slightly.
That woman is quite the troublemaker.
It's better she doesn't know Jiang Fan is here.
Ling Shu nodded, and under her guidance, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
She stopped before an unremarkable pile of rocks.
As she took out a token from the Demon Emperor Court.
A magical scene appeared.
The pile of rocks began to levitate.
Revealing a deep underground cave.
Wisps of pure spiritual energy and demonic aura flowed from the cave.
“This is the Secret Realm.”
Ling Shu's eyes were full of anticipation, “The three brothers of Mi Long have made astonishing progress here.”
“If I'm lucky, I might break through to the Jiedan Eighth Layer!”
Jiang Fan was also greatly surprised.
The abundant spiritual energy here, though not as rich as beneath that temple in the Nine-Dynasty Ancient Capital.
Was quite dense.
Training here might even allow cultivation to progress another layer.
The group immediately descended.
But just after they set foot inside.
The Six-Path Master warned, “Kid, think carefully before going in.”
“I sensed a trace of Yin Corpse aura.”
