“Small love and big love—in fact, you have already made a choice, haven’t you?”

Lin Luoran digests Black Tortoise’s words over and over again. In fact, she will have regrets no matter to choose “small love” or “big love”. All she can do is to give up the less regrettable choice. For this reason, she can’t even hide her bitter smile.

Mu Tiannan looks at her profile and captures every subtle change in her expression, as if he is also making a difficult choice with her. At this moment, he feels he has lived for hundreds of years but he still doesn’t know how to comfort her.

It’s not White Fairy’s concern so she is much calmer. From Black Tortoise’s words, the two choices have the order of priority, but Linny doesn’t have to give up one choice if she chooses the other one.

“If Linny stays to clean up the mess on the earth, how many years will it take for her to reunite with her family?”

Black Tortoise smiles, laughing that one of the three fools finally thinks of this crucial question.

“She can use her space to continuously restore the earth’s environment. If it can be done within a hundred years, she can come to me when the Lost Land opens again in the next hundred years. I will tell she the method of reopening the Tower of Babel and the teleportation coordinates of the Lins family.”

Is it only a hundred years? Lin Luoran frowns. It’s not a great price. Just as Colin promises to be a servant for a hundred years, one hundred years are just a flash for a cultivator with long lifespan.

At this moment, Lin Luoran doesn’t have the time to think about it. Can the Lins breakthrough smoothly in one hundred years? Can they wait for her to have a reunion just as what they did in the distance in these three hundred years?

“The haunting gray fog on the earth is strong. To rebuild the earth in a hundred years, what should I do?”

Black Tortoise’s clumsy tortoise feet point at itself, “The gray fog is dead energy. When the earth’s eternity calamity came, the whole planet was surrounded by dead energy. Only by rebuilding the five elements of the Earth and forming an endless cycle can defeat it completely. You should use the mother lode of five elements as nourishment to treat the symptoms and heal the diseases on the surface of the earth. However, the outside of the earth is sick while its inside is weak. If you want to cure it, you need the five elements gathered by space.

The last element Earth of the Five Elements is me. On the day when the Lost Land is reopened a hundred years later, I will personally fill the Earth of the Five Elements. Space will undergo changes that you can’t imagine, and the earth’s problems can be completely resolved. You then can go to find your family without regret.”

White Fairy draws a deep breath. It is a trivial matter that people with personal ability fight for life and grab resources against the heaven. For them, it is also common to kill close friends as a stepping stone. Everyone talks about pursuing Tao, but longevity is also the driving force for many cultivators’ self-cultivation.

In such circumstances, it’s the first time for her to hear a powerful monster with such personal ability as Black Tortoise to mention “death” calmly.

Lin Luoran can’t accept it for a while. She couldn’t stop the gold hawk from committing suicide. Can’t she stop Black Tortoise from having the same idea?

She unconsciously tells it what she thinks, which amuses Black Tortoise, “I told you a long time ago that if you want to gather the five elements, you must kill an Earth monster. Just because you are not familiar with it, you can do it calmly?

To tell you the truth, I didn’t migrate after the spiritual world was opened in the past years. I gave up my Divinization doom. I offered to be the guard of the Lost Land. I have lived a free life for so many years, and I have made this decision a long time ago.

You can search in Lost Land or go to the monster forest of Penglai immortal world again, but those Earth monsters’ strengths are all below me. The Earth is thick and pure. It should carry everything so that the five elements can be endless. For the cycle of five elements in space, the Earth element must be the strongest. Except for me, there are really no other choices.

You don’t have to be sad. I don’t do it for ‘Lin Luoran’. I just pity that stupid Momo.

As I said before, sometimes death doesn’t mean an ending.

Gold hawk chose death. On one hand, it is free from the confinement of Lost Land. On the other hand, after you gather the five elements, the five-element souls of monsters in space will have a big lucky chance because of merits.

You’re not a fish, so how can you understand the happiness of a fish? You’re not me, so how can you know what is my pursuit?”

Black Tortoise is a mature elder. It solves Lin Luoran’s problems one by one without any trace of impatience at all. Hearing these mysterious stories of heaven and earth, Lin Luoran feels complex. Black Tortoise does not hide, and it also doesn’t comfort her. However, these words can always console her like a gentle trickle.

If Black Tortoise can face life and death calmly, why can’t she accept the separation from her family for a hundred years and fulfill the big love of the Earth in exchange?

“If you want to get something, you should be prepared to give up something else.”

Lin Luoran’s state of mind is no longer confused. At this moment, she achieves true freedom and ease. She is prepared to give up something and get something else.

Her ocean of consciousness was damaged because of building the Taoist root for Han Weiya and Colin. Now it recovers quickly after her state of mind advances to a new level.

The fog in her ocean of consciousness clears, and the scene becomes more and more clear.

The delicate pavilions, cranes, and clouds earlier are gone, leaving only the boundless and ecological land there with a clear, high, and simple sky.

Abandoning prosperity and returning to simplicity—between heaven and earth, there are pleasant green mountains and green waters, and there are also deserts and Gobi which represent scorching and barren land. The world has never been constructed only by beauty. If you can only see “beauty”, it is because you hypnotize yourself to ignore the ugliness on the other side.

Beauty and ugliness, good and evil, noble and poor—they are different, but sometimes they are entangled together and it’s difficult to distinguish them from each other. However, it is undeniable that the world can be completed only with both sides.

Under the sky, Fly Apsaras painted sculpture looking the same as Lin Luoran recovers its original simplicity. From its low eyebrows and closing eyes, Lin Luoran can feel the true heart of sympathy.

She thinks the most shocking light spots hidden among the godhead-colored sculpture must be the tear pearl left by Momo.

Black Tortoise said that Momo is no longer in the world. Lin Luoran wonders if Black Tortoise knows that Momo still left one tear of compassion mingling with hers. They will never be separated and Momo will always be remembered.

When Lin Luoran opens her eyes again, she looks at the deserted Gobi with a new state of mind. She sees its vitality.

She advanced so rapidly that her state of mind couldn’t catch on, but now she has made up to it. After a long time, she will know that she has gained far more than what she has given up.

Lin Luoran realizes something, and the people around her are also clearly aware of her changes.

Mu Tiannan and White Fairy are naturally happy to see her out of the shadow and making progress because of it. Even Black Tortoise also looks at her with relief. For a short moment, it seems that it can see the figure of another little girl in her.

Black Tortoise’s relief turns into sadness again, so it naturally diverts its attention.

“Well, what are you going to do with this thing?”

Black Tortoise opens its mouth and spits out a ball of light. Bai Zhi’s primordial spirit is shivering in it. Obviously, Black Tortoise says these words to White Fairy.

White Fairy is stunned. She bows her head and thinks for a long time before speaking, “Before you said these things to Linny, I couldn’t wait to torture her primordial spirit by every means to relieve my hatred of losing my body and being separated from my lover.

But you have said that in the world, if you want to get something, you should be prepared to give up something else. In the past, he and I couldn’t see through our obsession. We wanted everything to be perfect. We didn’t want to abandon our school and we hoped we could be together despite his grandmaster’s opposition. After so many things, we tasted the bitter fruit of greed.

If I have to choose between killing Bai Zhi’s primordial spirit and getting an answer, I would like to choose the latter one. ”

Bai Zhi is overjoyed, but Black Tortoise understands what she says.

“You want to know if Ye Zhao successfully survived the doom at that time?”

White Fairy nods. “He who hears the truth in the morning may die content in the evening.” If she is too greedy, she may get nothing in the end. Ye Zhao is cold, but he has paid a lot for her. In this life, maybe she has no more achievements in personal ability enhancement, but the only thing she wants is to compensate the love of Ye Zhao.

“Since you are willing to give up on everything to get an answer, won’t it be too cruel if I don’t tell you the truth?” From the tone, it’s obvious that Black Tortoise kind of appreciates White Fairy. It no longer only focuses on Lin Luoran without paying any attention to White Fairy as it did in the beginning.

“At that time, his Divinization doom came so sudden that even I was shocked. You can imagine how bad the situation was. Mr. Wuye was a famous cultivator in the world of cultivation. He could be regarded as one of the most shining figures in the declining cultivation civilization. Under the stress of all the monsters, he had survived the Divinization doom that other cultivators absolutely couldn’t go through… Little girl, if you can become an immortal in the spiritual world, you may reunite with him one day.”

“He had survived the Divinization doom that other cultivators absolutely couldn’t go through!”

This sentence rings in White Fairy’s ears repeatedly. As for Black Tortoise’s encouragement afterwards, she subconsciously ignores it.

When she converted to a soul, she knew that she probably had no chance to cultivate Tao in this life. She hid in the abyss that year. With Soul Stone, she was able to gather her remnant souls. She did it only because she hoped that one day she could find the real culprit who had conspired against her and knew whether he had successfully entered a higher level of personal ability.

The two questions get the answers almost on the same day.

Her enemy ends badly, and her lover still has a bright future. For her, this is the best return for a thousand years of obsession. White Fairy feels that she has no worries at this moment. She is so relieved, but she also doesn’t know what else she wants in the future.

Lin Luoran notices that Black Tortoise’s words also mean something else.

“Master, what do you mean? White Fairy still has a chance to become an immortal in the spiritual world?”

Lin Luoran has little knowledge about it and she doesn’t know the way out for White Fairy. As a soul, can she also go through Heaven’s Doom and then go to the spiritual world?

Black Tortoise laughs, “Before the eternity calamity was launched, there was still a way out for souls to cultivate. At that time, there was no spiritual world. What she had to pass was the Great Heaven’s Doom. If she succeeded, she would become a spiritual immortal. As for now, the world of Divinization is only for cultivators and monsters. The immortal world has collapsed, and there is a spiritual world between the new immortal world and the mortal world. She is in the mortal world, so she can’t go through the Heaven’s Doom.”

Lin Luoran is a little confused, but White Fairy doesn’t feel disappointed because she has prepared for this.

“Linny, don’t worry about me. I knew this result a long time ago.”

If there was a way for a soul to succeed, Bai Zhi’s primordial spirit would not have to attack Lin Luoran for Possession and re-cultivation.

Black Tortoise smiles, “Do you really see through it?”

White Fairy nods. What can she do if she doesn’t see through it? Some things are independent of man’s will and you cannot force them to happen.

“Oh, since you have seen through it, I don’t have to waste my words. ” Black Tortoise is teasing them by tempting.

Probably because they are similar, Mu Tiannan can’t help but want to help White Fairy.

“If senior cultivator has a way, please tell us clearly. We will all be very grateful.”

Black Tortoise sneers, “What is the point if you are grateful?”

If he were the Young Master Mu three hundred years ago, he would definitely be furious at these contemptuous words. However, after being through so much, he has changed his reckless temper. Hearing Black Tortoise’s contemptuous words, he doesn’t even change his look.

“Different people have different ways. You are a senior cultivator with great personal ability. If you can’t do some trivial matters by yourself, juniors are willing to do their best to serve you. ”

Black Tortoise snorts, “Artful words and insinuating countenance. ”

But it still changes its attitude toward Mu Tiannan. It thought he was a sophisticated man. After getting along with him for a few days, it realizes this half monster and half demon has an obsession with Lin Luoran but he is actually not evil. Black Tortoise even admires his open conspiracy.

Black Tortoise glances at Lin Luoran, and says gently, “You must remember your promise. ” It seems to completely ignore Mu Tiannan. However, these three know that Black Tortoise has actually agreed with Mu Tiannan’s words.

“Didn’t you put her body in the space?”

Lin Luoran nods. When she hurriedly left the mausoleum, she didn’t want White Fairy’s body to stay there alone so she did bring it out.

After hearing Black Tortoise’s words, she takes the crystal coffin out of space.

Barren Gobi makes this coffin looks even more gorgeous. It looks like a clear and exquisite crystal. In fact, it is the warm ice jade that Young Mr. Wuye tried so hard to get by going to the extreme north for protecting her body.

White Fairy’s body seems to be sleeping. In the blazing sun of Gobi, her body’s cheeks become more and more flushed. Her lips are red without wearing lipstick.

“Well, isn’t this the solution?”

Black Tortoise points at the crystal coffin, and Lin Luoran is thoughtful, “You mean, White Fairy can still use her original body… Is this possible?”

Her physical appearance remains intact, but it doesn’t look like it is still alive. Lin Luoran feels that Black Tortoise’s proposal is so unbelievable that it even sounds ridiculous.

Unexpectedly, Black Tortoise nods surly, “Naturally, it works. Her physical condition is special. At first, her primordial spirit was scattered by the snake monster but her Gathering Vitality still existed in her body. That’s why her school sister could directly possess after taking the snake fruit.

Coincidentally, after the conspiracy of her school sister was revealed, cultivator Ye chose the method of extracting the living soul, which was similar to what the snake monster did at the beginning. They only hurt the primordial spirits that lived in the body, while the body and Gathering Vitality were still intact.

Of course, once an ordinary cultivator loses his primordial spirit, his Gathering Vitality still has Meta but he can’t think of protecting his physical body continuously. Over time, his physical body will gradually lose vitality and decay.

Many treasures can preserve a body in the world of cultivation. The most famous one is the Green Mountains Jade, which has the miraculous effect of making elixirs and consolidating souls. People in the world don’t know that warm ice jade is also a good choice. It is actually an extremely precious spiritual treasure. Ye Zhao found the last piece on the earth to make it into this coffin.

In fact, warm ice jade was mostly used to preserve spirit medicine in the past. After closing the warm ice jade box, time stops inside the box. Until the day when it is opened again, the medicine will still be effective the same as the moment you put it in.

Ye Zhao really did his best for you. Warm ice jade was also a treasure that everyone fought for in the primitive world. It has kept your body as it was the moment you were put in. Only when the person in the coffin really wakes up can the crystal coffin be opened from inside.

In other words, your physical body in the coffin is still alive at this moment.”

Black Tortoise is a mature veteran that knows “warm ice jade”. No one knows how many ancient books Ye Zhao had read and how much effort he had taken to find such an exotic treasure as warm ice jade.

White Fairy felt that she had no other desire before, but her mood totally changes at this moment. Ye Zhao never sent her some simple gifts to please her as the Taoist partners. He also never talked sweetly. However, he was much sweeter than others.

She doesn’t know how much he had suffered to find warm ice jade. However, she understands one thing. He no longer owes her, and it is she who owes him.

As a soul of departed, White Fairy can’t even sob.

“Senior cultivator, if there is such a chance that the junior can get her body back, what should I do?”

Black Tortoise is happy, “Then tell me—what are you willing to offer? Don’t learn from someone who wants to fool me with empty promises. ”

“Someone” is not guilty at all so he naturally doesn’t feel stressful.

White Fairy looks down and thinks for a while, not knowing what she can offer.

Lin Luoran is anxious, “Senior cultivator!”

Black Tortoise sighs, “Well, you do have nothing to offer. How about giving me your school sister as the soul of departed and the soul power you have cultivated for hundreds of years? We can talk about it then.”

White Fairy agrees without a second thought. Everyone at present ignores Bai Zhi’s primordial spirit screaming in the light group. There is a cause and then there is a result. She killed White Fairy’s primordial spirit back then, and now it is not too much for her to pay her own debt.

White Fairy has cultivated soul power for hundreds of years and it has now become a real entity. Lin Luoran feels it’s a pity, but White Fairy actually agrees.

Black Tortoise nods in approval, “If you are willing to give up your personal ability, I will definitely fulfill your wish. You have tried so hard to get the trophy from the poisonous pool. Isn’t there a snake fruit left? Swallowing it down, and your wish will be fulfilled.

But let me tell you something first. You will wake up after you return to your body, but all your personal ability of the past will disappear. You have to restart your thousand-year hard work. Personal ability enhancement is unpredictable. You have done so much, but you may not gather vitality smoothly in the future, let alone entering Divinization period or becoming an immortal in the spiritual world to meet Ye Zhao.

Or maybe, when you have gone through a lot of hard work, Ye Zhao is no longer in the spiritual world, or he loves someone else… What should you do?”

White Fairy nods without even thinking about it.

Ye Zhao did everything for her in the past, but he has never thought that he should be rewarded. What she doing now is the same. She can only follow her own heart and work hard without a second thought.

Lin Luoran admires and feels complex for White Fairy’s choice. She takes out the snake fruit and hands it to her.

White Fairy swallows it without hesitation. The snake fruit is very strange. White Fairy takes it as a soul of the departed, and the medicine power of snake fruit is transformed into light spots and then absorbed by her.

The spirit power in her body begins to dissipate and it is controlled in place by Black Tortoise with gas.

When White Fairy’s soul power totally dissipates and she becomes a phantom, the medicinal power of snake fruit drags her into the crystal coffin, and her soul returns to her body.

Will White Fairy wake up?

There is a faint red light flowing in the crystal coffin. It is the snake fruit making the body fit the primordial spirit which has left for a long time.

The crystal coffin can freeze time and it will be opened from the inside only when it is successful. Lin Luoran’s eyes are full of tears. She not only feels happy for White Fairy—far away from here, is there someone who also found warm ice jade for her mother to freeze time and keep her safe and sound?

Black Tortoise suddenly asks Mu Tiannan by voice transmission, “You have known that you have no future. Are you still willing to keep going on?”

Mu Tiannan smiles gently with a broken arm, “She is willing to stay on the Earth for more than a hundred years for irrelevant people. I have no virtue and ability, but I am willing to protect her for one hundred years.”
