Chapter 106: Three Realms Become One, Ruins of the Celestial Mansion!
Night!
It was getting deeper by the minute.
Under the moonlight’s gentle glow, the palace atop the peak was draped in a layer of crystalline snowflakes.
The wind howled like a wild beast.
Inside the room, the walls were embedded with shimmering luminous orbs, casting a soft light.
A faint, delightful fragrance wafted through the air.
On the exquisitely carved bed, through the sheer curtains, blurry silhouettes were entwined…
Like fish frolicking in water.
Time slipped by, with laughter and play, each moment brimming with joy.
As the night wore on, they practiced until dawn before finally taking a breather.
Morning.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and woke up, feeling refreshed after a night of cultivation.
In his arms, Yuan Ruoyu was as delicate as a flower, her skin like creamy jade.
As if sensing his awakening, Yuan Ruoyu opened her eyes, a blush still lingering on her cheeks.
“What a pity…”
“In the dream, you still couldn’t learn the cultivation technique. But don’t worry, I’ll think of other ways!” Lin Feng sighed, reminiscing about last night’s escapades.
But mentioning it was a mistake!
Yuan Ruoyu shot him a fierce glare, her face turning a deeper shade of crimson. Gritting her teeth, she said, “What other methods could you possibly think of—ugh!”
As she spoke, her voice dwindled to a whisper, eventually fading away completely.
Yuan Ruoyu thought to herself, it should be about the technique, right?
Last night, she had tried so many things without success!
Now, she was out of hope.
Dream cultivation was indeed nice, but Yuan Ruoyu had accepted reality—considering the current situation, it seemed Lin Feng was the only one who could pull it off.
At that moment!
Yuan Ruoyu suddenly thought of something, reached out, and pinched Lin Feng’s waist, blushing with anger. “You brat, don’t you dare write about last night’s dream cultivation in your diary!”
Just thinking about it made her fume.
From what she had seen in the diary, he seemed brave enough to write down anything!
Lin Feng pretended to be in pain but couldn’t help laughing.
The diary’s exposure was actually a misunderstanding at first.
But under the guise of a different intention, he discovered that this form of exposure allowed everyone to quickly learn about the Celestial Court’s schemes.
This saved him heaps of trouble.
As time pressed on, Lin Feng had no choice but to play along.
What was it to him?
He thought to himself, as more outrageous tidbits were yet to be revealed from the diary.
What was currently exposed was merely something he discovered a few thousand years ago.
“And there’s more!”
Yuan Ruoyu began to calculate, her voice cold. “You wrote in your diary about feeding me medicine with your mouth—how are you going to explain that?”
“Not to mention propping up a wall for an entire month!”
“And portraying me like a reclusive widow…”
“Hmph, we must clarify things today!”
Recollecting the contents of her exposed diary, Yuan Ruoyu looked at Lin Feng, her smirk increasingly pronounced.
Lin Feng forced a smile, asking, “So what do you want?”
“Well, maybe I should give you some compensation and teach you that ‘dream cultivation’ a few more times.”
“Don’t… uhh…”
For a cultivator, the time spent training always zipped by.
And before one knew it, it had flown away quietly.
In the blink of an eye, two more days had passed.
Taking a deep breath after getting out of bed, Lin Feng stepped outside the palace to inhale the fresh morning air.
“Whoosh—”
He gazed at the vast mountains before him, feeling like he had emerged into a saintly state.
No desires, no wants; even the allure of the black silk didn’t tempt him anymore.
At this moment, Yuan Ruoyu had already dressed in a light purple long gown, looking even more enchanting.
She walked over quietly and stood beside Lin Feng.
A moment passed before she softly voiced, “The Jiang family and the heavenly punishment forces are about to be utterly cleansed; it’s merely a matter of time.”
“What’s your plan next?”
The Jiang family and the Hua family were both giants in the cultivation world, with intricate ties among various forces.
Even with top-tier warriors like Jiang Wujì knocked out, a complete sweep would still take time.
But with defeat inevitable, there was no need to waste too much time dwelling on it.
“Next…” Lin Feng regained his focus, took a deep breath, and gazed at the distant sky, saying earnestly, “It’ll depend on the response from the Celestial Court!”
“But with the convergence of the three realms approaching, things should remain relatively calm for a while. We need to seize this time to prepare!”
Yuan Ruoyu nodded but said nothing.
The Celestial Court!
To them, it remained too vast and mysterious.
In this ongoing game of chess, while they had temporarily gained the upper hand, it was merely a strike against the Celestial Court’s minions.
They had captured Jin Han, a celestial official, but still had a long way to go to topple the entire Celestial Court.
Yuan Ruoyu hesitated for a moment and quietly said, “Jin Han is crucial; we must extract more information about the Celestial Realm from him!”
“What exactly has happened in the Celestial Court?”
“Mortal realm cultivators were supposed to transcend and ascend; why has it turned into the current situation of celestial doors opening and cultivators soaring like clouds? These mysteries are just waiting to be explored!”
Lin Feng nodded. In fact, he had some guesses.
But nothing was definitive.
After a moment’s hesitation, he looked at Yuan Ruoyu and said seriously, “Perhaps the Celestial Realm we’re seeing now is not the same as the one that existed when cultivators transcended!”
Yuan Ruoyu was hearing this for the first time, and it was something she had never dared to think about.
It left her utterly amazed.
“How… is that even possible?”
“Where did the former Celestial Realm disappear to?”
Yuan Ruoyu was shocked, incredulous as she exclaimed, “And who could create a whole new Celestial Realm?”
“This is simply inconceivable!”
Lin Feng sighed, saying, “Right now, it’s merely speculation; a lot still can’t be confirmed!”
“Additionally, I suspect…”
“The so-called convergence of the three realms isn’t just about the three realms; those legendary remnants of the Celestial Mansions will soon make an appearance!”
Yuan Ruoyu was taken aback yet again. The news she had just learned from Lin Feng was indeed beyond her imagination.
The Jade Pool Sacred Land had a long-standing heritage and profound background.
As the Sage of the Jade Pool, her understanding of the Celestial Mansion ruins surpassed that of ordinary cultivators.
The ruins of the Celestial Mansions were real.
This fact was precisely recorded in the sacred land; there was no doubt about it, and it was known that mortal cultivators had stumbled upon the ruins.
However, very few had returned alive.
Approximately a hundred thousand years ago, a peerless genius had ventured into a certain ruins and made it back alive.
His name was Xiao Xinghe, an ancestor of the Jade Pool Sacred Land.
As such, there were many records regarding the Celestial Mansion ruins in the Jade Pool Sacred Land.
But all were top secret!
Apart from the sages of all ages, not even the elders of the sacred land had the right to peruse them.
Yuan Ruoyu had glanced over some records regarding the Celestial Mansion ruins.
However, there wasn’t much valuable information. It merely stated that the Celestial Mansion resembled a small world, with practice methods that differed somewhat from the Mainland of the Nine States.
There was little useful information overall.
Even the methods to enter the Celestial Mansion ruins had not been passed down.
Suddenly, a thought struck Yuan Ruoyu, and she asked curiously, “Could it be that you’ve been to the Celestial Mansion ruins?”
