Chapter 155: Changsheng Fairy, a Millennia-Spanning Gossip
Chapter 155 – Changsheng Fairy, a Millennia-Spanning Gossip
The Fiftieth Year.
Thirty years had passed since Chen Changsheng left the Zifu Holy Land.
As Wu Li’s fame grew, the memory of the former Zifu Holy Son gradually faded.
By this time, Wu Li’s strength had reached an indescribable level.
Across the world, no one could withstand three moves from him.
Yet, on a certain day in the fiftieth year, a woman quietly arrived at the place where Wu Li was in Secluded Cultivation.
“Whoosh…”
A gentle breeze blew through. Wu Li, sitting cross-legged in meditation, slowly opened his eyes.
Before him stood a Peerless woman in robes whiter than snow.
Glancing at Wu Li, the woman in white said calmly, “Truly astonishing. No wonder you became the first in thirty thousand years to open the Heaven’s Mandate.”
“Surrender the Heaven’s Mandate of this era. I will not hinder you in the next.”
Hearing this, Wu Li slowly stood up and said, “Since Fellow Daoist has come to contend for the Heaven’s Mandate, you naturally know that in the struggle for the Heaven’s Mandate, there is no retreat without a fight.”
“If you want the Heaven’s Mandate, come and take it yourself.”
Upon hearing Wu Li’s words, the woman in white nodded slightly and said, “Very well. Taking it myself will save a lot of trouble.”
“Hum!”
An invisible wave covered the entire Zifu Holy Land.
Wu Li and the woman in white clashed. The speed of their moves even surpassed the speed of sound.
Only after their first exchange ended did the woman in white’s words fully spread.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Powerful impacts continuously emanated from the void. The two were now fighting in the void.
The commotion of their battle naturally alarmed the people of the Zifu Holy Land.
“How did this person get in?”
Seeing her husband in a tough fight, a trace of worry appeared on Nalan Jing’s face.
In recent years, no one in the world could withstand three moves from Wu Li.
As the saying goes, a great reputation is not built on empty words. This person dared to challenge Wu Li, so she must have come prepared.
Seeing this, Zi Ning stepped forward to comfort her, saying, “Master, don’t worry. The Holy Lord will not lose.”
At the same time, Gongsun Huaiyu had already gathered the Huben and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends.
“Mistress, should I lead the Huben to assist Master?”
Hearing this, Nalan Jing calmed her emotions and said, “No need. You cannot intervene in your master’s battle.”
“Since your master dared to accept the challenge, it means he is confident. Let’s first deal with the shockwaves spreading from the fight.”
“Such a battle can easily injure some disciples.”
“Yes!”
Facing Nalan Jing’s order, everyone quickly took action.
However, Song Yuanshan, watching from the crowd, frowned and muttered, “Why does it feel strangely familiar?”
“But I can’t pinpoint this familiarity. Where does this feeling come from?”
Puzzled, Song Yuanshan stood still and pondered carefully.
At that moment, Ye Hensheng shouted from afar, “Second Master, stop thinking and come help!”
Ye Hensheng’s voice reached Song Yuanshan’s ears, and it was this voice that finally reminded Song Yuanshan where the familiarity came from.
“Damn it!”
Song Yuanshan cursed, then rushed toward the spatial rift, braving the powerful shockwaves of the battle.
“Stop fighting! Stop fighting!”
“It’s all a misunderstanding!”
Hearing this, everyone looked puzzled.
Wu Li, fighting in the void, also frowned, then exchanged a palm strike with the woman in white and retreated from the void.
“Swish!”
Two figures flew out of the void.
Wu Li, with a grave expression, stood in front of everyone, while the woman in white gently landed on a treetop.
“Both of you, stop fighting. This is all a misunderstanding.”
Song Yuanshan stood between the two, fearing they would start fighting again at any moment.
After confirming that the two had no intention of fighting for now, Song Yuanshan bowed respectfully to the woman in white.
“Song Yuanshan of the Shangqing Temple pays respects to the Changsheng Fairy!”
Hearing this title, everyone began searching their memories.
But after thinking for a long time, no one had any memory of the “Changsheng Fairy.”
Although most people had not heard of the “Changsheng Fairy,” three people present knew her.
And they had a deep impression of her. These three were Wan Yan Yue, Zuo Xinghe, and Song Yuanshan.
Because the owner of the wooden carvings in the Night Moon Country’s Bronze Ancient Hall was this “Changsheng Fairy,” and Chen Changsheng had personally admitted this.
Hearing this, the woman in white looked at Song Yuanshan and said calmly, “How did you recognize me? With his personality, you wouldn’t know my appearance.”
“This Junior indeed does not know Senior’s appearance. But the Shangqing Temple and the Linglong Sect are ultimately allies.”
“Although the Linglong Sect has declined, this Junior has heard of some of its techniques.”
“Also, when Big Brother Changsheng left, he secretly gave me something.”
“He said that if I ever met a special person one day, I must hand it over personally.”
“In this world, the only person worthy of Big Brother Changsheng’s special instructions is probably you, Senior.”
Saying this, Song Yuanshan took out a wooden box.
Seeing this, the woman in white waved her right hand, and the wooden box flew into her hand.
Opening the box, inside lay a set of cute wooden carvings and a letter.
Opening the letter, the familiar handwriting came into view.
“Little girl, this set of carvings is compensation for the birthday gift I owe you.”
“The road ahead is long and arduous. Sometimes, don’t rush too much. When you look back, I will still be behind you.”
“This kid was taught by me. I am quite satisfied with his abilities. Don’t make things too hard for him.”
Reading the contents of the letter, the woman in white’s lips curled up slightly.
After putting away the things left by Chen Changsheng, the woman in white calmly looked at Wu Li.
“You are indeed qualified to be his disciple. He believes in you, so I believe in you too.”
“Since you are to bear the Heaven’s Mandate, I will let you handle this matter.”
“As for what you need to do, you will know after you bear the Heaven’s Mandate.”
After saying this, the woman in white turned to leave.
But halfway through, her movements suddenly hesitated.
“Swish!”
Wan Yan Yue only felt a breeze brush past before the woman in white appeared in front of her.
The two women looked at each other. Although everything seemed calm, everyone faintly sensed a strange atmosphere.
“You are Wan Yan Yue?”
“Yes.”
“You must be the prodigy of the Daqian Dynasty’s Linglong Sect from a thousand years ago, Li Niansheng, right?”
Seeing Wan Yan Yue reveal her identity, Li Niansheng said nothing, only smiling at her.
But this simple smile contained too much.
Everyone: (͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧
Although they didn’t fully understand the situation, they felt this was explosive gossip spanning millennia!
