Chapter 872: The Bright Moon s.h.i.+nes Over the Sea; From Far Away We Share This Moment Together


The letter read:


“I don’t know if this is the right thing to do, but this is the only way for you to live. This power will protect you and make others notice you. I hope the power in the concentric jade is strong enough. If one day you become a dazzling cultivator, go find my teacher. He’s very talented and powerful; he’ll become the strongest cultivation in Great Yan in the future. He once wrote a poem:


The bright moon s.h.i.+nes over the sea; from far away we share this moment together.


Remember the name I gave you; Luo s.h.i.+yin.


I hope you live well.


Farewell.”


Lines after lines of words appeared on the piece of white paper as though fueled by magic.


Lu Zhou felt as though everything was destined. How unbelievable!


He recalled when he first met Conch. At that time, she was like a beggar and had been almost burned to death as a demoness, to be a sacrifice to the heavens. If he had not gone to that place at that time, would she burn to death and miss the chance to become his disciple? Or, what if he had given Conch up for adoption to the common folks and did not accept her as a disciple? Would what happened today not happen then? If there had been the slightest difference in their actions, both of them would have missed out on each other. Perhaps, it was really destiny.


However, why did Luo Xuan return to the red lotus domain? Where and when did she encounter Conch? How did Conch get injured?


Lu Zhou was still pondering on the matter when the piece of white paper in his hand suddenly disintegrated into spots of starlight and flew toward Conch.


Lu Zhou extended his hand and let out a stream of Primal Qi to block the spots of starlight. He did not expect the spots of starlight to pa.s.s through his Primal Qi barrier as though it was not there. He quickly used his extraordinary power to form a barrier and block the spots of starlight.


When Lu Zhou withdrew his hands, the spots of starlight suddenly s.h.i.+fted and moved toward Lu Zhou.


In just a blink of an eye, simple memories and beautiful scenes appeared in his mind.



Over 300 years ago, Luo Xuan left the Sky Research Court. She traveled through the Black Water Mystic Cave on the Water Shuttle and arrived in Great Yan.


After a while, Luo Xuan decided to leave Great Yan for the Great Void. Halfway through her journey, she met Ji Tiandao and addressed him as teacher. It was from Ji Tiandao that she obtained the Great Void Seed.


Then, 17 years ago, in order to get rid of Jiang Wenxu, she returned to the Great Void and encountered a dying baby, Conch. After that, she returned to Great Yan again.



Realization dawned on Lu Zhou when he saw these scenes. He remembered the records Luo Xuan left behind. She had erased the word ‘s.h.i.+’ in ‘Luo s.h.i.+yin’ most likely because she did not want Jiang Wenxu to find out anything. Later on, she even tore up the records that contained Luo s.h.i.+yin’s name.


Conch was Luo s.h.i.+yin.


Lu Zhou had first guessed correctly. Then, he dismissed his theory. Following that, he grew suspicious again, and now, it was finally confirmed.


It was no wonder. Luo Xuan had used the name Luo s.h.i.+yin in Great Yan.


Subsequently, Lu Zhou turned to look at Conch’s jade pendant. At this time, all the energy from the jade pendant had already been transferred into her body.


At this moment, Little Yuan’er asked, “Master, what is this?”


Lu Zhou looked at the jade pendant carefully. A carving of painting could be seen in the middle of the jade pendant. An infant was tightly clutching the vines by a riverside while a woman with long hair extended her hands toward the infant.


The jade pendants, or the concentric jade, were finally one.


“Luo s.h.i.+yin…”


Luo s.h.i.+yin came from an unknown place. Was the unknown place the Great Void? If Luo s.h.i.+yin was from the Great Void, how did she cultivate the red lotus instead of whatever color the lotus the people in the Great Void cultivated?


Cras.h.!.+


Rocks and pebbles fell from above.


Little Yuan’er lifted her head to have a look before she said, “Master, this place is about to collapse.”


“Let’s go…”


“Why hasn’t Little Junior Sister woken up yet?”


“The power from the concentric jade has been lost quite a bit. Don’t worry, I’ll think of a way.” Lu Zhou waved his hand and brought Conch away.


They left the underground prison through the long corridor before they finally arrived at the Literary Star Gate. As soon as they left the Literary Star Gate…


Boom!


The Literary Star Gate collapsed with a loud boom!


Nevertheless, no one was worried about Lu Zhou’s safety. They continued to wait patiently for him. When they saw Lu Zhou appeared in front of them unharmed, they only bowed to greet him.


“Senior Lu.”


“Master.”


“This girl…” Huang Yu’s eyes lit up when he saw the jade pendant on the unconscious Conch.


“Do you recognize it?” Lu Zhou asked.


“It’s Luo Xuan’s jade pendant.”


When the people from the Sky Research Court saw the jade pendant, they seemed emotional.


Lu Zhou stroked his beard and asked, “With Yu Chenshu’s ability, it should not be easy for him to capture Luo Xuan. How did he do it?”


Luo Xuan was able to move freely between Great Yan, the golden lotus domain, and the red lotus domain. With this alone, it should be difficult for Yu Chenshu to even locate her, let alone find her. How did Luo Xuan end up in the underground prison in the Sky Martial Court?


Huang Yu sighed before he replied, “A few years ago, Yu Chenshu used the people from the Sky Research Court to find Luo Xuan. In order to find her, he would kill a member of the Sky Research Court every once in a while. More than 70 people from the Sky Research Court died because of this. Luo Xuan used to work in the Sky Research Court, after all, and was familiar with the members. In any case, the people from the Sky Research Court studied a secret technique from ancient books and found Luo Xuan’s whereabouts.”


At this moment, He Zhong chimed in, “That old fart not only used the Sky Research Court for his own purposes, but he also created the puppet. His objective of looking for Luo Xuan was to go to an unknown place and look for the Great Void Seeds.”


Lu Zhou asked suspiciously, “You know about the Great Void Seed as well?”


“The Great Void Seed is an ancient legend. It is said that every ten of thousands of years, a number of Great Void Seeds would appear in the unknown land. It’s said if one obtains the Great Void Seed, one would become the strongest person in the world. 300 years ago, Luo Xuan sent this news back to the Sky Martial Court. She did not expect Yu Chenshu to covet the seeds and even demand that she send the seeds back. She, naturally, didn’t agree. It was from then that Luo Xuan parted ways with the Sky Martial Court. It was also at that time that she seemed to have disappeared…” Huang Yu replied.


Everyone sighed upon hearing these words.


Huang Yu looked at the jade pendant on the Conch as he said, “This is the concentric jade that Luo Xuan carried with her. I guess it’s better than it being lost in the ruins of the underground prison.”


Everyone from the Sky Research Court nodded.


At this moment, Lu Zhou said, “This is my youngest disciple. Her surname is Luo, and her name is s.h.i.+yin.”


“Her surname is also Luo?”


Everyone was puzzled.


At this moment, a magical scene appeared.


Luo s.h.i.+ Yin’s body slowly floated up into the air with her arms slightly open. Then, the concentric jade on her body began to absorb the energy in the surroundings.


“This… How’s this possible?”


“She actually inherited Luo Xuan’s power!?”


Let alone the others, even the geniuses from the Sky Research Court were shocked by this scene.


Under the power of the concentric jade, Luo s.h.i.+yin’s hair grew longer. Even her eyelashes seemed to grow longer. Soon enough, her figure resembled that of an adult. Her dark hair fell like an ink of waterfall, and her thin lips were as red as the flowers in spring. Although she was unconscious, there was no denying her graceful bearing. Her appearance was one that had not been seen since ancient times.


The transformation was over in just a blink of an eye.


“Little Junior Sister?” Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were shocked.


“Little Junior Sister…” Little Yuan’er was confused. She did not understand how Conch who was a head shorter than her had now grown to be almost the same height as her. In fact, Conch looked much more like an adult than she did. Her cloud-like and feather-light robes were made of special material and expanded to fit her properly.


This scene was rather similar to when Yu Zhenghair reverted to his original age. At that time, he had eaten a lot after he consumed the red life heart before he finally reverted to his original appearance. He could not help but sigh emotionally as he watched Little Junior Sister’s transformation.


Under the sun, the people from the Sky Research Court, the Cloud Mountain, and the Thousand Willows Monastery looked at Luo s.h.i.+yin in shock and awe.


The Sky Research Court’s members were a group of hardened misfits. However, at this moment, they could barely conceal the affectionate expressions on their faces as they looked at the person in front of them.


Nevertheless, regardless of the changes, she was still like a little girl in everyone’s eyes.


At this moment, a flurry of red hurricanes appeared from all directions and merged into one.


The Primal Qi in the Literary Star Gate seemed to weaken at this moment.


“It seems like we’re fated to help you…” Huang Yu said. He was the first to push his hand out.


“Wait for me!”


“Me too!”


The people from the Sky Research Court pushed their hands out one after another, sending a part of their cultivation into Luo s.h.i.+yin’s body.


“What’s happening?” Little Yuan’er asked, puzzled.


“Luo Xuan’s power is already present in the concentric jade. The G.o.d-killing formation on the Literary Star Gate absorbs Primal Qi in the surroundings. It seems like Luo Xuan’s lost soul had contributed to the strength of the formation. However, it doesn’t matter! We’ll make up for what was lost!”


Soon after, more than thirty people from the Sky Research Court had all pushed their hands out. Regardless of their cultivation bases, none of them hesitated. It was as though when they looked at Luo s.h.i.+yin, they saw the Luo Xuan of the past… as though she was their child…
