Chapter 505 - 15: A Dream of the Three Thousand Realms
Everyone has a Peach Blossom Spring in their heart.
The Peach Blossom Spring in Tao Yuanming’s heart was in the "Peach Blossom Spring":
During the Taiyuan era of the Jin dynasty, a man from Wuling made a living by fishing.
The fisherman is a metaphor for Tao Yuanming.
He followed the stream, forgetting the distance he traveled. Suddenly, he came upon a grove of peach blossoms, lining both banks for hundreds of steps, with no other trees, the fresh grass brilliant, and the fallen petals scattered everywhere.
The fisherman was astonished, and he continued onward, wanting to reach the end of the grove.
Where the forest ended, a source of water was found, leading to a mountain, with a small opening that seemed to glow.
He abandoned his boat and entered through the opening.
At first, it was extremely narrow, barely allowing a person to pass. After several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up.
The land was flat and spacious with neatly arranged houses, fertile fields, beautiful ponds, and mulberry and bamboo trees...
Upon asking what era it was, they did not know of the Han dynasty...
People here said, "There’s no need to speak of this to outsiders."
...
Northern Plain.
Forest of Life.
In the vast, primitive forest, exotic flowers and herbs grew visibly fast, transforming into a garden where the Hundred Flowers competed in beauty.
Peach trees grew one after another, peach blossoms blooming, with petals scattered on the ground, adorning the earth in a pink attire, transforming into a grove of peach blossoms.
Petals rained down from the sky, filling the air with fragrance.
As the Master of the World, Zhou Chen’s mere thought could change the surroundings according to his will, filled with romance and charm.
Cyan Cloud Fairy also had a sacred and beautiful Peach Blossom Spring in her heart.
She never let outsiders step into it.
Today.
Zhou Chen felt honored to visit Cyan Cloud Fairy’s Peach Blossom Spring as a guest.
He admired it along the way, quite similar to the fisherman in Tao Yuanming’s story.
The scenery of Peach Blossom Spring was pleasant and enchanting, leaving one intoxicated, oblivious to the passage of time.
Such beauty could not be conveyed to outsiders.
Zhou Chen enjoyed his stay here for half a month, like a ’naughty’ child, with a long stick in his hand, creating a mess in a field of rapeseed flowers.
Thus, did Zhou Chen too, make a once flawless grove of peach blossoms a disarray, with petals covering the ground.
Cyan Cloud Fairy looked at her treasured and well-kept peach blossom grove being made such a mess by Zhou Chen, with vacant eyes, silently lamenting in her heart.
It truly is...
"Ancestor, don’t worry, I’ll clean it up for you!"
Zhou Chen smiled.
He carefully helped Cyan Cloud Fairy tidy up and clean.
Looking at his handiwork, Zhou Chen was quite satisfied, saying, "I see that Ancestor has something to attend to, so I won’t disturb you. We shall meet again in the future!"
"Farewell!"
Zhou Chen didn’t linger, gracefully making his exit.
After all, he could meet whenever he wished.
Cyan Cloud Fairy, having entertained Zhou Chen for half a month, was utterly exhausted.
She exhaled a long breath of impure air, gazing at the sky, with blue skies and white clouds stretching endlessly.
All around, exotic flowers and herbs filled the air with fragrance.
Peach blossoms fluttered down from the sky, dancing with the wind.
She lay upon the soft flower bed, legs wide open, seemingly crying in sorrow, with eyes full of tears, both red and swollen.
Yet, she also seemed unable to contain her joy.
"Master..."
It was the first time Cyan Cloud Fairy heard this title, and she prepared to inquire about it.
Such a terrifying existence.
There couldn’t be no news of him.
Cyan Cloud Fairy stood up, her tears dried instantly, and her red, swollen eyes quickly returned to their former illustrious and untouchable cold beauty.
"Hmm?"
Cyan Cloud Fairy touched her slightly swollen belly, initially planning to expel all the treasures that didn’t belong to her, but she suddenly felt something unusual.
"It seems to be more effective than any Spirit Pill or Elixir I’ve encountered..."
As a Martial Emperor, her mastery over her body was extraordinary, but previously, with Zhou Chen’s mischievous antics, she hadn’t noticed.
Now she found her physique and cultivation were gradually enhancing as she absorbed it.
"Who exactly is the Master? Even the Great Emperor fears him so, killing the Great Emperor like killing a chicken, his bad things are all supreme treasures and Elixirs..."
Cyan Cloud Fairy’s curiosity grew stronger; she didn’t throw away the wealth of cultivation resources Zhou Chen had given her for free, but actively began refining them.
Without delay, Cyan Cloud Fairy’s figure flickered away and vanished from the spot.
...
Purple Cloud Domain.
Great Qian Dynasty.
Cyan Cloud Sect.
From a broader perspective across the continent, Cyan Cloud Sect was just a trivial little sect, with the strongest merely at the Primordial Pill Realm.
However, with Zhou Chen’s rise, Cyan Cloud Sect, too, swiftly rose, though its foundation was shallow due to the short time; even now, the strongest is merely at the Dharma Realm.
But its recognition and popularity were extremely high.
Because this was once the sect of the Master.
Compared to Cyan Cloud Sect.
Infinite Sword Sect developed even faster and now is the leading sect in Great Qian.
On this day.
The great hall of Cyan Cloud Sect opened to the mountain.
Talents from all directions flocked in, the place overwhelmed with people.
Buzz!
The void rippled as a graceful figure stepped out silently from the space, not alarming anyone.
She moved her enviably long and beautiful legs, slowly walking towards Cyan Cloud Sect, her crystalline and cold eyes gazing at the entire sect.
"I never thought Cyan Cloud Sect would develop so well!"
Cyan Cloud Fairy was somewhat surprised; it had grown a thousand times stronger than when she left.
When she left, she was merely at the Divine Seed Realm.
And Cyan Cloud Sect had only her at the Divine Seed Realm.
Now, Cyan Cloud Sect, let alone Divine Seed Realm, had several at the Dharma Realm, and as many as dozens at the Divine Skill Realm, with numerous outstanding disciples in the new generation.
It was clear, generation by generation, they were growing stronger.
"Our Cyan Cloud Sect being where we are today is thanks to the hard work of past elders, but even more thanks to the two greatest people. Do you know who they are?"
"It’s the Master and Ancestor Cyan Cloud!"
"Correct!"
"Without Ancestor Cyan Cloud paving the way and establishing the sect, how could there be today’s Cyan Cloud Sect?"
"Without the Master soaring to supreme heights and reigning over the world, how could we have today’s glory?"
On the selection stage outside the Cyan Cloud Sect, an Elder of Cyan Cloud Sect spoke loudly.
However.
In the void, Ancestor Cyan Cloud who heard these words shivered, almost falling from the air.
