After millions of years in the library, I became an Immortal Emperor.

"call!"

That was the sound of flowers blooming, very soft, yet deafening.

The spear, piercing Xie Bing's body, paused for a moment before vanishing inch by inch before the horrified gaze of the demonic cultivator at the Heavenly Immortal realm.

A glimpse of a pear blossom peeked out from Xie Bing's clothes, white as snow, simple and elegant, out of place in this sea of ​​immortals and demons, yet forcibly inserted into this world.

At a glance, the demonic cultivator's entire body trembled.

She took a slight step back, then stopped, staring intently at the pear blossoms on Xie Bing's clothes, her face filled with terror.

"Crack!"

A pear blossom appeared before his eyes.

The flowers bloomed on his body, chest, limbs, and finally his head. In just a moment, a demonic cultivator at the Celestial Immortal realm was transformed into a tree of pear blossoms.

Then, with a tremor, pear blossoms scattered, falling into the surging sea of ​​immortals and demons.

A celestial being died.

He died silently.

Xie Bing stared at the scene in shock, unable to recover for a long time.

The horror of this scene surpassed any killing technique he had ever seen before; it was a celestial being, already the master of a mountain in the Taixu Immortal Sect.

He actually died just like that.

for a long time

He glanced at a pear blossom among his clothes and took a deep breath.

"Lin Fan..."

He murmured, countless memories of his time with Lin Fan flooding his mind.

That person who didn't cultivate immortality, was indifferent to fame and fortune, and seemed to be disappearing from people's memories, seemed to have only a book and a pot of tea as his everything.

But now.

"Do such immortals truly exist?"

He looked at the petals falling into the Immortal Demon Sea and thought of the scene when Lin Fan planted the pear tree.

Despite being an immortal, he wielded a hoe like a mortal, shoveling it again and again, and sometimes even stopping to wipe the sweat from his brow.

He had said something about himself back then.

Since you are an immortal, why bother with worldly affairs?

Lin Fan simply smiled faintly at him.

"If you live long enough, you'll always need to find something to do. Even immortals come from humans. As the books say, the path to immortality is to return to the origin, and when you reach the end of your cultivation, you return to your original simplicity."

At that time, he also laughed at Lin Fan, saying that he clearly didn't understand cultivation, yet he still had a lot of profound ideas.

But upon reflection, it seems to be the ultimate truth of the immortal path.

"If just one pear blossom is so beautiful, what about all the pear trees in that row?"

He said, shuddering as he thought of the row of pear trees outside the library courtyard.

He knew it; how could his old friend, Linghui, the former elder of the library, casually give the elder's token to someone at the True Immortal realm?

This is hardly a true immortal.

They are clearly celestial beings or even mystical immortals.

"Are those people from the seven great immortal sects ahead?"

A voice came from a corner of the celestial dome, followed by more than a dozen beams of celestial light piercing through the celestial clouds. Xie Bing's expression hardened, and she covered up the exposed section of pear blossom.

I looked over there.

"An elder of the Lingtai Immortal Sect is besieging Demon Origin Island and has ordered all members of the seven surrounding immortal sects to come to its aid."

"Since you are from the immortal sect, let's go together."

Xie Bing nodded and headed towards Demon Origin Island with the dozen or so immortals.

The war between immortals and demons was originally a matter of life and death, and it was a stroke of luck to survive and return alive. But for Xie Bing now, things were different.

He was not a seed of immortality cultivated by the Taixu Immortal Sect, nor was he a prodigy of the immortal path, but he possessed the same trump cards as the prodigies of the immortal sect.

Bixia Mountain Range!

Lin Fan withdrew his gaze and looked at the people in front of him.

The woman named Gu Lingqing stared blankly at Lin Fan, unable to recover for a long time.

In that one glance, time seemed to stand still. Her cultivation and spiritual power seemed to vanish for a moment, as if the rules of this world had been altered.

Even though he wasn't looking at her, she felt as if he could see right through her.

"We were wrong. We were blind to your greatness and should not have set a trap to deceive you. Please forgive us. We will definitely change in the future."

The men were still kneeling and begging for mercy from Bodhi, completely oblivious to the woman's expression.

Lin Fan simply smiled as he looked at the woman.

"Is this considered a honey trap?"

Lin Fan said that he had only seen such scams in books, and this was the first time he had actually seen one.

This woman was also a cultivator, and even the leader of this group. She regarded Lin Fan and Bodhi as easy prey on their first visit to the Immortal City.

The purpose of this scheme is to rob Lin Fan of his property.

Gu Lingqing trembled and quickly knelt down.

"However, you didn't completely deceive me; at least your identity is real—a princess of the dynasty."

"I've already arrived in the cultivation world, and it's not much different from that vast celestial realm. I'll go on another trip to the mortal world. Since I've already paid, you can be my guide."

Lin Fan said something that made the woman's expression falter, and she looked up at him.

Although the face was deliberately made up to look ugly and covered with mud, one could still see the beautiful and delicate features beneath the mud.

Occasionally, there is also a touch of nobility unique to royalty.

How did you know?

She said, staring intently at Lin Fan.

Could it be that the rebels have come looking for us?

Lin Fan smiled calmly.

"I saw it."

Under the Path of Destiny, if he so desires, he can see the past and future of all living beings in this world. A mortal's life is but a hundred or a thousand years.

Fate is all within the rules, and there is not much room for change.

She trembled, looking at Lin Fan, disbelieving his words.

Look?

What do you think?

"Let's go."

Lin Fan didn't explain much more to her, and just headed towards the main road ahead. Bodhi glanced at her, then followed with her book box on her back.

The woman hesitated for a long time before gritting her teeth and following him.

The group of people behind them stared blankly at this scene.

"Boss, where are you going?"

"He's probably going to commit suicide."

"And what about us?"

"Let them fend for themselves."

……

And so, Lin Fan gained another person by his side.

Bodhi carried the book box, while she carried the books for Lin Fan. The setting sun cast long shadows of the three of them, a scene that will forever remain in our memories.

Gu Lingqing had forgotten how long she had been walking.

She only remembered that she had never traveled such a long distance before, from the cultivation world to the mortal realm, and they had actually walked over like ordinary people.

An elderly man and a young man walked slowly ahead, while she followed closely behind.

"Master, she is just a cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm."

Seemingly realizing that she couldn't hold on any longer, Bodhi spoke to Lin Fan, who stopped and looked at her.

She got up from the ground.

"I'm fine."

She stubbornly insisted, but as soon as she got up, she collapsed back to the ground.

Lin Fan smiled faintly.

"Then let's try a different approach."

Bodhi left for a while, and then he had an extra horse, and a carriage was made.

She finally had a chance to catch her breath.

"Young master, where do you wish to go?"

"Go wherever you want to go."

"Um?"

She looked at Lin Fan with confusion, but saw that Lin Fan was not just talking to her casually. It seemed that he really had nowhere to go and just wanted to take a walk in this world.
