Chapter 244 [No Fate, No Fortune, No Life] (6000)

[To explain, this chapter was written yesterday. The reason it's only being updated now is because I wrote a version last night, but I felt the original plot wasn't good, so I changed it. Then I stayed up all night thinking about this plot and rewrote it. I only managed to finish writing it at around 6 a.m.]

Not bad for updates! This chapter counts as yesterday's, and there will be another update today!

Chapter 238 [No Fate, No Fortune, No Life] (6000)

Chen Yan remained silent.

This is the flower fairy of the beautiful woman, let's call her a flower fairy for now. Judging from the content of her description and the tone of her voice...

This guy's a bit out of his mind.

And... it seems like that kind and virtuous saint is described as some kind of scumbag.

The problem is, whether it's a saint or a flower fairy planted by the saint himself.

That level is way too far removed from my own, isn't it? What kind of grudges and entanglements exist between those two? Do I even have the right to interfere?

but……

Chen Yan took a deep breath and gave a straightforward answer:
"it is good!"

The flower fairy seemed taken aback: "You agreed?"

"Of course I agreed." Chen spoke fluently and quickly, his face full of sincerity: "Senior has entrusted me with this task and promised a generous reward, so I will certainly do my best! Don't worry, senior, after I leave here, I will immediately go and find that guy named... Ji Shanxiang."

He said that, but he had already made up his mind—I'm going to find your sister!
As long as I can fool this slightly delusional flower fairy and leave this place, I'll turn around and leave! I'll never come back here again!

You want me to find a saint for you? Hmm, sure! You can just wait here!
Chen Yan wasn't stupid; he grasped the key point instantly.

This flower demon has been waiting for the benevolent saint for over ten years, but she hasn't gone to find him herself—so she definitely can't leave this place!

Once I'm out of this mess, I'll just leave. You think you can catch me?

Chen Yan agreed so readily, but the flower fairy seemed to hesitate for a moment, then suddenly said coldly, "That's not right!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"You agreed too quickly, something's not right," the flower fairy said slowly.

Chen Yan: "..."

I cursed inwardly, "You're the one who made the request, and now you're questioning it after I agreed? Are you crazy?"

No wonder the sages don't come to see you.

He was anxious inside, but on his face he put on a respectful and sincere expression and slowly asked, "Then, senior, what do you hope this junior will do?"

The beautiful flower fairy was momentarily distracted. After hesitating for a while, she whispered, "I... let me think about it."

Chen Yan sighed, lay on the leaf, and looked around. Beyond the misty fog, the outline of the outer courtyard was vaguely visible, but there was no one in sight.

A thought struck him: "Senior was planted in this pond, and usually... usually no disciples come here?"

The flower demon sneered, "The people here have rules that forbid anyone from getting close to the pond. In the past, when my disciples walked nearby, they only dared to stand outside the fence and look at me. I've waited all these years and only encountered one as bold as you, who actually dared to turn into a bird and jump onto my leaf. If I don't go after you, who else should I go after?"

Okay, I understand! This guy's activity area cannot exceed the fence at the edge of the pond!
Chen Yan memorized this element.

He thought for a moment and continued to ask, "But even if no one dares to go to the center of the pond, you can still communicate with other disciples by transmitting your voice. Did you never speak to other disciples before?"

The flower fairy hesitated for a moment, her tone somewhat strange: "It's strange, all the disciples who passed by here before couldn't hear me speak, but you can hear my voice."

Ok?
Chen Yan's heart stirred.

Am I the only one who can hear this? What makes me any different from the disciples and cultivators here?
Then they heard the flower fairy sigh softly: "That person once told me that I am different from everything in this world. I am not in this world. If I wake up one day, it will be the day I attain enlightenment. At that time, it will be a very, very important thing for him. He will be very happy..."

My memories of the time before my consciousness fully formed are fragmented; I don't remember much. I only remember that back then, he was the only one who could hear my voice, and he was the only one who spoke to me.

Others cannot hear it; only oneself and the sages and venerable ones can hear it?

Chen Yan felt even more puzzled after hearing this.

As he pondered this, he inevitably fell silent.

After a while, the flower fairy suddenly exclaimed, "I've got it!"

"……what?"

"I know what to do with you now." The flower fairy's tone was filled with joy: "I was afraid you were just trying to coax me, afraid that you would break your promise to me after leaving here. So... why don't you take me with you! Take me with you, and we'll go find Shanxiang together!"

Chen Yan shuddered.

Take her away?
What a fuss!

If he hadn't known beforehand, Chen Yan might have actually dared to do it.

Now we know that this thing was planted by the founding patriarch himself—in any sect, an item of this quality would be a treasure!

If I dare to take her away, that would be stealing the relics of a saint and the legacy of a patriarch from a saintly sect!
"Senior, you jest." Chen Yan forced a smile. "Senior has been stuck here all these years, there must be a reason. I am not capable enough to help you get out of here."

Unconsciously, a scene from a movie flashed through his mind.

The Qingdao socialite with thinning hair sighed slyly, her face full of cunning: "Finally, I've been fooled!"
No! Could this flower fairy be lying to me? Is she just telling a lie to trick me into helping her escape from prison?

Take her out?

Absolutely not!
Just as Chen Yan's mind raced, searching for a way to escape...

Suddenly, the flower fairy's tone changed, and she said coldly, "Eh? Someone's here."

Chen Yan suddenly looked up and around, and saw two figures moving vaguely beyond the misty fog, seemingly approaching from afar.

Chen Yan's heart skipped a beat, but then he heard the flower demon sneer, "Little thief, don't shout nonsense. These two newcomers seem to have ill intentions."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan couldn't help but look carefully out of the fog.

As the two figures approached, they indeed moved with a somewhat furtive manner, their path seemingly following the walls of the surrounding courtyards and buildings. Yet, their destination was clear: they were heading towards this misty area.

Just as Chen Yan was about to make a sound, a ball of energy suddenly sealed his mouth and tongue, pressing his body, which had now transformed into a bird, firmly against the leaf, so that he could not open his mouth or make a sound.

Then she heard the flower fairy snort: "Little thief, don't have any bad ideas, don't try to make a fuss, I'll show you a good show."

Chen Yan stared wide-eyed at the two people who were gradually approaching from outside the fog.

The two entered the area of ​​mist and slowly approached the fence by the pond.

A cold voice suddenly shouted, "This is it! Get to work! Don't try any more tricks!"

Then, another voice, somewhat hoarse, came from within the mist: "I've already been captured and brought here by you, what tricks could I possibly play? If we're discovered here, we'll both die. Do you think I'd dare lie to you under these circumstances?"

The aged voice made Chen Yan's heart skip a beat!
It's that kid from "Donghai"!

As the two figures approached the fence, Chen Yan gradually made out their figures.

One tall and one short.

That short guy is clearly Donghai, the kid. As for the tall guy…

Suddenly, the two figures rose into the air and floated slowly toward the area in the center of the pond where the hibiscus was planted.

As they drew closer, Chen Yan's heart skipped a beat when he saw that one of them was indeed Donghai, but he was wearing an apricot-yellow robe, the kind worn by outer disciples of the Heavenly Demon Yin Yang Joyful Union Sect!
But the other one... was also dressed in an apricot-yellow robe, but carried a long sword on his back!
The man's features were unclear, but his cold and murderous aura made Chen Yan recognize him instantly. He was the same thug who used the golden flying sword that intercepted the Gu family's cargo ship that night!

All that could be seen was Donghai, the kid, being held by the back of the neck by this person, clearly being captured by this person.

For some reason, the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Yin Yang Joyful Union Sect had been searching outside for so long without any results, yet this flying sword villain had actually managed to get here!

Even more inexplicably, after the cargo ship was attacked, this Donghai used a substitute puppet to fake his death and escape from Chen Yan's hands by the stream in the dense forest, only to be captured by this flying swordsman.

These two, I don't know what method they used, actually managed to sneak into the Heavenly Demon Yin Yang Joyful Union Sect!

Donghai spoke indignantly, but the thug with the flying sword coldly replied, "Hmph! You are a cunning and shameless scoundrel. How could I possibly trust you? Go and fetch the item!"

Donghai snorted, his tone hesitant, but the man gently pressed on his shoulder, causing him to groan in pain, his voice trembling. He immediately begged for mercy, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I'll behave myself!"

As he spoke, Donghai took a breath: "I would never dare to lie to you! This Beauty Cloud is exactly what we've been looking for!"

"You're lying to me?" the thug with the flying sword said viciously, "It's just an ordinary Beauty Cloud! Although it's somewhat extraordinary, it's nowhere near as valuable as you say!"

“Different, different!” Donghai exhaled: “You don’t know, the beauty clouds here are not ordinary, but treasures planted by the saintly saint Shanxiang in the past!”

This Beauty Cloud is a different kind of plant. It is said that it was a naturally grown spiritual root that appeared before the creation of this world, before the formation of the Heavenly Dao of this world!

The sage once said that this spiritual root existed before the creation of the world, when even the Heavenly Dao had not yet awakened—so it is something that does not exist in this world.

Because this spiritual root existed before the formation of the Heavenly Dao, it is not even under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao!

If one eats even one of its lotus seeds, one can immediately cleanse one's marrow and bones, and even use the seeds of this Beauty Cloud to evade the Heavenly Dao, making it impossible for the Heavenly Dao to detect one's existence!

Therefore, after the sage planted it, he meditated and attained enlightenment by her side for ten years!
It is precisely because this thing is not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao of the realm that the Sage wanted to unravel its mysteries. He even said that if he could understand why it was not bound by the Heavenly Dao, then perhaps in the future he could also break the Heavenly Dao's limit on the number of Sages in this world, be free from the Heavenly Dao's jurisdiction, and escape its control. And so, and so..."

As Donghai finished speaking, the flying swordsman's breathing became noticeably heavier, clearly indicating that his emotions were running high.

Chen Yan, however, disagreed.

If this beautiful woman could break the Heavenly Dao's restriction on the number of saints, allowing any cultivator to advance their cultivation level...

Is there really such a good thing? Then, for thousands of years, countless geniuses in this realm would not have been blocked from reaching the threshold of sainthood and died in despair!
Moreover, if it were true, how could such a shocking secret be known to outsiders like those in the East China Sea?
If this Beauty Glow truly possesses such efficacy, then it should be the number one treasure in the entire realm!

The planting area must be equipped with hundreds of large arrays, and top experts from the sect must be stationed there day and night to guard it!

Moreover, throughout the entire realm, any cultivator above the Celestial Realm will be vying for it with bloodshot eyes... At that time, no matter what kind of saintly sect you are, you won't be able to intimidate others...

Even if a saint were to stand here personally, it wouldn't stop the covetousness of countless cultivators from the realm!

The words of the boy from the East Sea were too outrageous, but the flying swordsman seemed completely oblivious to the absurdity and actually believed them.

"Alright! Go and get it quickly!" The thug with the flying sword blushed and said in a rough voice, "How do I get this thing?"

Donghai replied, "Just take one of its seeds..."

seed?

The flying swordsman was naturally aware of the habits of this beautiful woman, Xia. The seeds could only be harvested once, and the flower head and other seeds would wither immediately!
He took a deep breath: "Alright! Go and fetch it for me!"

Donghai's face stiffened, and he forced a bitter smile, "You, sigh... I... I'm afraid that won't work. To be honest with you, this thing is so magical, it naturally has its special features."

Although it is a piece of spiritual root from before the creation of heaven and earth, it possesses extremely strong spirituality. When the person picking it touches the seed, its spirituality will be absorbed by that person. Once picked, the seed's spiritual energy has already recognized its owner and can no longer be used by anyone else..."

Upon hearing this, the thug with the flying sword rolled his eyes, then said viciously, "Hmph, don't try to fool me! Go and gather it for me right now!"

"Really, you really want me to do it?" Donghai seemed a little hesitant. "Well, then it's settled. If the spiritual energy recognizes me as its master after the seed is harvested, you won't be able to use the seed..."

"Hmph, sweet talk! Go now!"

Donghai stiffened, but was quickly struck on the shoulder by the man, causing him to tremble in pain. He cried out, "I'll go! I'll go! As long as you don't regret it!"

As he spoke, he slowly moved his body, hovering in mid-air, and headed towards the purple flower in the middle.

He bent down, reached out his hand, and slowly approached the flowerpot, his fingers trembling slightly.

Just as his fingers were about to touch the flowerpot...

"Stay on!"

The thug with the flying sword finally shouted.

Donghai didn't retract his hand, but kept it outstretched. He turned back to the flying swordsman and said with a wry smile, "You, you asked me to pick it... I'll pick it for you..."

"You bastard, retract your claws!" The flying swordsman sneered, pointing a finger at Donghai's back: "I understand! You're still lying to me! You deliberately said those things to provoke me, trying to trick me into letting you go to collect the seeds! Once you touch the seeds, you'll fall into your trap!"

Donghai's face contorted in frustration, and he let out a heavy snort. But under the coercion of the Flying Sword Fierce Spit Disciple, he had no choice but to withdraw his hand inch by inch.

But Chen Yan, lying on a leaf not far away, clearly saw a triumphant look flash in Dong Hai's eyes!

Donghai slowly retreated, but the ruthless swordsman stepped forward, swiftly arriving beside the purple flowerpot. He took a deep breath, his face filled with excitement, and slowly reached out to touch the purple flowerpot...

As his finger drew closer, a savage, gleeful expression appeared on Donghai's face behind him...

Suddenly, just as the flying swordsman's fingers were less than an inch away from the purple flower plate, he shuddered!
Then his whole body began to tremble violently as if he had been electrocuted, and his body swayed wildly!
At the same time, he tried desperately to open his eyes and mouth, but he couldn't utter a single word!
In the blink of an eye, Chen Yan saw that this guy's face, neck, and even his hands and fingers... all the exposed skin instantly and rapidly withered away!
The skin quickly lost its luster, and the flesh withered rapidly...

In the blink of an eye, the man quickly turned into a withered, dried-up corpse!

His vital energy dissipated, but it also detached from his body in strands and rushed towards the flower plate of the beauty. In just a few breaths, even the vital energy in his body was absorbed and devoured!

With a splash, the withered, lifeless corpse fell from its floating state into the pond!

As the water splashed, Chen Yan clearly saw several huge leaves slowly spread out underwater, wrapping the mummified corpse layer by layer and dragging it to the depths of the water until it disappeared from sight...

Chen Yan's heart pounded wildly as he read this!

And so, the murderer who intercepted the Gu family's cargo ship, killing all the crew members and the manager, died on the spot in an instant!

This guy is quite capable! Chen Yan witnessed firsthand how powerful he was when he committed the crime!

In front of this beautiful Xia, he was so easily suppressed and killed!

This isn't some beautiful woman, it's a carnivorous plant!
What surprised Chen Yan even more was that boy from the East China Sea!
Logically, he was brought here bound by the Flying Sword thug, and now that the thug is dead, he should be free. However, he did not flee in panic.

Instead, the boy from the East Sea suddenly knelt down on the spot, still suspended in the air, and kowtowed repeatedly to the beautiful sunset, shouting, "Senior, I have come here to help you fulfill a wish!!"

Ok?
Upon hearing this, Chen Yan's heart skipped a beat!
Did he come here from the East Sea because he knew that the Fairy of the Cloud Flower had a wish he wanted to fulfill?

After Donghai kowtowed several times, seeing that Meirenxia hadn't killed him, his face was full of joy—like a gambler who had bet everything and found he had won a lot of money, the kind of ecstatic joy that comes from surviving a disaster!

"Thank you, thank you for sparing my life, senior! Please allow me to explain that the man who just captured me was a villain. I was forced to be extorted and brought here by him. I had no choice but to trick him into coming forward! I had absolutely no intention of offending you, senior..."

Just as Donghai Kid was rambling on and on, Chen Yan suddenly heard Meirenxia's voice: "Kid, you talk to him for me, pretend you are me, and ask him what his purpose is."

Ok?
Chen Yan was taken aback, but immediately realized that the flower fairy was talking to him.

That's it! The flower fairy's voice can't be heard in the East Sea!

At the same time, Chen Yan also felt the restriction sealing his mouth disappear instantly. Although he was still unable to move his body, he could speak without any problem.

He thought for a moment, then deliberately controlled his throat, and asked slowly in a high-pitched voice, "Who exactly are you, and where did you hear about me?"

The boy from Donghai trembled violently, his eyes gleaming with even greater joy. With reddened eyes, he cried out quickly, "Senior! Senior! I am a disciple of Shanxiang! I am Donghai!"

hum!
Chen Yan was startled and realized that the flower fairy who was controlling his actions was also excited by these words and had sealed her own energy, causing it to be compressed and shaken violently.

"Little thief, hurry, hurry and ask him for me..." The flower fairy's voice trembled with excitement.

Chen Yan's eyes darted around, and he took a deep breath before slowly speaking: "You say you're a disciple of Shan Xiang? Isn't that obvious? In this Heavenly Demon Yin Yang Joyful Union Sect, which outer or inner disciple isn't a disciple of Shan Xiang?!"

Tell me quickly, how did you find out about me?!

Donghai Xiaohai quickly replied, "Reporting to senior! I was once a sword cultivator. Years ago, I died in an accident. A saint took pity on me and collected my soul, entrusting it to the Good Samaritan. It was placed in a lamp under the Good Samaritan's seat, where the flame under the saint's seat nourished my soul day and night, allowing me to survive."

Thus, I became a wandering spirit under the tutelage of the Sage of Good Fortune, listening to the Sage's teachings day and night, and finally gained some enlightenment...

"That...that...about the senior, it was something I overheard the sage mention when my soul was enshrined in the oil lamp."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan felt the pressure of the vital energy on his body tighten even more, almost squeezing him until his body ached, and he trembled slightly.

This time, without waiting for the flower fairy to urge him, he quickly asked, "Then tell me, what did you learn that Shanxiang mentioned about me?"

Donghai's body trembled violently as he uttered words that shook Chen Yan to his core!
“As the sage once said, senior, you are a piece of spiritual root from before the creation of heaven and earth. However, after this world was formed and the Heavenly Dao of this world was born, you did not enter the Heavenly Dao. You are a thing that is ‘without fate, without limit, and without fortune’!”
In the past, a sage searched the entire realm before finding the senior, and personally planted him, waiting for the day he would awaken his spiritual awareness. However, because the senior was without destiny or fortune, and had already merged with the Heavenly Dao of this realm, he could not meet you—once you met the senior, the Heavenly Dao would become aware of your existence.

Therefore, if a senior has awakened their spiritual senses and wishes to meet the benevolent saint, they must avoid the affliction of 'no destiny, no fortune, no luck' and create their own destiny and fortune..."
