Those who kill, are bound to be killed.
Lin Chen didn’t dwell on this matter, as he understood that for himself, this was a fact.
However, for her, when soone killed her sister, it was natural for her to take revenge and kill that person.
Different perspectives lead to different opinions.
The most important thing among cultivators is strength, not reason.
Reason can only be discussed between those with equal strength, who cannot overco each other.
“Is what your sister said true?”
ng Lan answered coldly: “It’s mostly correct.”
Lin Chen asked curiously: “She didn’t ntion you in her story.
I’m curious about how you are involved in this, and what role you play.”
ng Lan stayed silent.
Lin Chen waited for a long ti, thinking she wouldn’t tell him.
But then she suddenly began to speak.
“I am her older sister, and she is my younger one.
She has always been dominant, rebellious, and strong.
She’s highly talented and powerful, and very combative.”
“She constantly causes trouble and is murderous, getting into many problems.
Ti after ti, I am the one who has to clean up her ss.
After countless failed attempts to change her ways, I was the first to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
I was taken in by a powerful figure as his attendant.
Occasionally, I would help with pulling his chariot and adding to his prestige.
With his protection, my life was quite leisurely.”
“After my sister ascended, she found .
Knowing her rebellious nature, I introduced her to the sa powerful figure so she could also beco his attendant like .”
“Sadly, her untad nature did not change even after ascending.
She felt that pulling a chariot was beneath her, causing her great discontent.
One day, she made a mistake and was scolded by the powerful figure.
Instead of repenting, she held a grudge.”
“Taking advantage of his absence, she wreaked havoc in the cave mansion, shattering his favorite pill furnace, stealing all the elixirs inside, and even sneaking back to the Lower Realm.”
“The powerful figure was furious, killed her true body, and suppressed her soul, subjecting her to endless tornt.
As I was the one who introduced her, I had to bear the consequences and was punished to guard her.”
“I was aware of everything she did, but since she was trying to save herself, I didn’t stop her.
I never thought anyone could actually kill her.”
“To so extent, I should thank you.
With her death, my duty of guarding her has ended, and I can return to the Immortal Realm.
But, as I’ve said before, even if she was in the wrong, she’s still my sister, so I have to kill you.”
After hearing the story, Lin Chen asked curiously, “Your sister said that the passage between Heaven and Earth was severed.
How can you still return to the Immortal Realm?”
ng Lan replied, “The bridge has been severed, but the gate still exists.
As I have already achieved a True Dragon Body, as long as the powerful figure permits and guides , I can naturally return to the Immortal Realm.”
Permission?
Guidance?
It sounded similar to the entrance of the Cave Sky Blessed Land in the Cultivation World.
Just wanting to enter was not enough; soone from above had to agree and open the door for you to enter.
Lin Chen asked about his biggest doubt, “Can the severed bridge be reconnected?”
ng Lan answered, “The bridge was not originally there.
If it could be built once, it could be built again.
The main question is whether the people in the upper realm would be willing to accept the Barren Wilderness again and build another bridge.”
Is there hope?
Lin Chen continued asking, “Can you tell what happened back then that caused the Immortal Realm to order the severing of the passage and forbid cultivators of the Barren Wilderness from ascending?”
ng Lan shook her head, “I’m not sure about this.
After all, I’m just an attendant.
Even though the bridge was severed by him, he wouldn’t say anything more to about it.”
Lin Chen felt disappointed.
After so thought, he asked again, “Since you said the gate above is not closed and only the bridge is severed, can people of the Barren Wilderness build their own bridge to connect to the gate?”
ng Lan shook her head, “I don’t know.
But even if they built a bridge, if those from above disagreed, they would just sever it again.
They might even send down a catastrophe as punishnt…”
Lin Chen sneered, “High and mighty immortals?
All below the Immortal rank are re ants—is that what you an?”
ng Lan’s tone was cold, and her voice carried undisguised mockery: “Upon becoming an Immortal, the lifespan is asured in ten thousand years, while mortals have but a hundred years of life filled with birth, aging, sickness, and death.
In the Immortals’ eyes, the lives of mortals are but a fleeting mont, just like humans who look at ants with a life span of only a year or even a few days.”
“Humans may step on an ant while walking on the road, and when they feel like it, they may pour water into an anthill or set it on fire, watching the ants struggle in the water and burn into charcoal in the flas.
Do you think they care about the lives and feelings of those ants?”
