Chapter 1540: Chapter 1499: Rebirth

Don’t say that after staying in this world for so long, Lu Chuan has grown quite fond of this environment, devoid of modernization and filled with the beauty of nature and wilderness.

But it’s about time to leave.

The crisis in the secular world hasn’t been resolved yet, and with Lu Chuan not returning soon, many people are anxious for him. Lu Chuan can’t afford to be this selfish.

The only thing giving Lu Chuan a headache was that he thought that after helping Yun Yan recover her body, he would gain a significant ally to use against Empress Wu Zong. However, it seems there is no such opportunity now.

Yun Yan is solely focused on escaping, and Lu Chuan is too lazy to persuade her otherwise. It’d be better to part peacefully than to tear things apart and make it ugly.

Moreover, with the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan now free, Lu Chuan can ask Huo Ling’er for assistance when the time comes. It’s a matter of gain and loss.

However, according to the Tower Spirit, the most important asset that Lu Chuan acquired during this journey is that Extreme Yin Dao Seed. Although Lu Chuan himself is indifferent to it, the Tower Spirit explained that if one were to rank Dao Seeds, the Extreme Yin Dao Seed would be the most precious, especially since Lu Chuan obtained one of superior quality, which is rare.

“Whatever the case, it’s time to leave.”

In recent days, Huo Ling’er has summoned the entire Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan back and announced this news, leading to joyous celebration throughout the clan. Lu Chuan’s status also skyrocketed. Whenever people saw him, they greeted him respectfully, calling him envoy Lu Chuan.

Don’t say, it feels pretty good.

As for Yun Yan, Lu Chuan had no idea where she ran off to, nor did he care since the Tower Spirit would open the altar, and if she failed to catch up, it wouldn’t be anyone’s fault but hers.

“You can start now.”

The Tower Spirit let out a deep breath and began chanting incantations. The next moment, the altar erupted with blinding light, and the long-dormant array finally began to operate, everyone’s eyes brimming with excitement.

Hidden in the shadows, Yun Yan’s eyes also lit up as she adjusted her breathing, ready to dash out at any moment!

As long as she was the first to leave, the Tower Spirit couldn’t afford to deal with her while tending to others. At that point, isn’t it the ideal freedom of a bird flying high and a fish leaping wide?

With this thought in mind, Yun Yan constantly approached the altar and, at the moment the portal appeared, blurred into a shadow and dashed through it!

Witnessing this, Lu Chuan was speechless.

Actually, he and the Tower Spirit had long noticed Yun Yan’s presence but chose not to act on it.

Today, the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan and Yun Yan both regained their freedom, let them be.

“Enter the portal in order, and once you’re in the outside world, stay calm and wait until all clan members have exited before making any decisions!”

Huo Ling’er calmly managed the order, and although the Fiery Sun Sparrow Clan members were eager for freedom, they dared not defy Huo Ling’er and Lu Chuan, fearing that angering Lu Chuan would cost them their chance at freedom.

Just like that, once all the Fiery Sun Sparrow Clan members entered the portal, only Lu Chuan and Huo Ling’er were left.

“Why are you still standing? Hurry up and go out.”

“I… Lu Chuan, I’m actually a little afraid.”

Huo Ling’er let out a long breath and laughed self-deprecatingly, saying, “We have lived here for over a thousand years. Now, returning to the outside, can we really find a way to survive?”

“You definitely can. Don’t forget, I’m here. I’ll help you, I’ll help all of you.”

“Thank you…”

Huo Ling’er nodded slightly, looking at Lu Chuan with indescribable meaning in her eyes. After taking a deep breath, she finally stepped through the portal.

The next moment, Huo Ling’er felt a sudden dizziness, and when she regained her senses, they were already on an island.

The sea breeze roared nearby, and the air was filled with a salty scent as the wind blew against their faces, bringing a cool sensation.

No one celebrated wildly, no one was ecstatic.

They simply quietly enjoyed this long-awaited and immeasurably precious freedom.

“Finally… we’ve waited for this day.”

Huo Ling’er reached out and scooped up a handful of crystal-clear sea water, her eyes instantly misting over.

“From this moment, the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan is reborn!”

…

Though saying that, finding a suitable place for the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan to settle is actually quite challenging.

Firstly, the Demon Tribe can’t accept them, especially since Huo Ling’er is a Unification Demon King, bearing the Vermilion Bird bloodline. If they were sent to the Demon Nation, what would happen to Yun Ji?

Having a subordinate with stronger power and bloodline, Yun Ji wouldn’t feel reassured, nor would Lu Chuan.

No choice, Lu Chuan could only temporarily settle the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan in the Duan Yin Valley behind the Profound Sect, and move the entire clan once an appropriate habitat is found.

Returning to the Profound Sect, seeing Lu Chuan safe and sound, the women finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, what puzzled them was why Yun Yan didn’t return. After Lu Chuan explained, they understood that Yun Yan had escaped, her whereabouts unknown.

“Hmph! I knew that woman couldn’t be depended on. After painstaking efforts to help her reclaim her body, she just left!”

Yun Ji was very unhappy about this, and though the others didn’t voice their opinions, their thoughts were roughly aligned with Yun Ji’s.

“Alright, let’s not talk about her anymore. After all, she did help me before, so now we’re square with no further owed debts. Moreover, I found a new ally, Huo Ling’er, who is also an Integration Realm powerhouse, even stronger than Yun Yan.

Speaking of which, did anything happen while I was gone?”

Nalan Xuan nodded slightly and smiled, saying: “Indeed, there was one thing – the Martial Alliance and Penglai Immortal Domain reached an agreement and formed a short-term alliance to confront the Small World together.”

“That surprises me a bit. How did it happen so suddenly?”

“It’s said Penglai Immortal Domain took the initiative, and the Martial Alliance naturally had no reason to refuse. This is good, saves us pleading further. Now, Penglai Immortal Domain has already sent many disciples to the secular world, joining forces with the Martial Alliance to guard various cities, while also publicly sharing some complete cultivation methods. Lu Chuan, the true era of cultivation might really be dawning!”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan’s shock surpassed his joy.

Penglai Immortal Domain forming an alliance with the Martial Alliance made sense to Lu Chuan, as the threat of the Small World was imminent, and neither side alone could oppose it, so joining forces was the best choice.

But for them to publicly share cultivation methods was rather unbelievable.

It had to be known, Penglai Immortal Domain prided themselves as orthodox precisely because they possessed a complete cultivation method system.

Yet now they’ve chosen to share it publicly, presumably because Kong Yuanliang made immeasurable efforts to achieve this.

However…

Lu Chuan glanced at the women’s expressions, all appearing quite complicated, what’s going on here?
