The sky was exceptionally clear, resembling a vast blue crystal, with fluffy white clouds drifting lazily like cotton candy.
Suddenly, two bright streaks of fire streaked across the sky, trailing long fiery tails as they roared toward the ground, instantly shattering the tranquility.
"Meteor!" many voices shouted simultaneously.
On the ground, people working straightened up, shielding their eyes with their hands to look at the sky. The two bright pillars of fire shot straight down, followed by two thunderous booms. A towering column of smoke rose from the distant mountains, and the entire earth trembled; even those on the Grassland could clearly feel it.
Immediately, many people soared into the sky, leading the charge was a strikingly large man.
He was tall and robust, with a thick black beard covering his face. His body was as solid as an iron tower, yet his features were quite ordinary, resembling a blacksmith from the Mortal Realm. However, he wore an extravagant fire-colored robe adorned with jade and gold, which seemed quite mismatched with his appearance.
He rushed ahead, muttering to himself, "Strange! This Ancient Celestial Field is a separate space; how could there be meteors here!"
Dust filled the air, choking everyone. As the dust slowly settled, people stared in disbelief.
The entire mountaintop had been blasted away by the "meteor," revealing a massive deep pit at the halfway point of the mountain. Through the dust, two human figures were clearly visible at the bottom of the pit—lying face down with their limbs spread out.
They were people! Two individuals had fallen from the sky!
Seeing these two lying face down in the pit, everyone's hearts began to race. Could it be…?
Chuxiong was the first to leap down, lifting one person and flipping him over. Upon seeing his face, he shouted in ecstatic joy, "Big Brother! It’s really you!"
It was indeed Li Hong! But who was the other?
Without needing Chuxiong's command, everyone rushed down to pull out the other person from the pit. Turning him over revealed none other than Heavenly Torch! He still had some consciousness left and mumbled, "No way, I can't hold on any longer; I'm going to transform and take a big nap!" As he spoke, Heavenly Torch's human form suddenly began to change. The crowd hurriedly dropped him and flew back into the sky. Moments later, Heavenly Torch had transformed into his true form—a massive dragon that breathed sparks as it coiled up in the pit and fell into a deep sleep.
The sleep of the Divine Dragon was a form of cultivation and healing. The Heavenly Torch was not severely harmed, but when looking at Li Hong nestled in Chuxiong's arm, everyone felt a heavy weight in their hearts.
Li Hong had lost a lot of weight.
It was unclear who had done this or how it had happened, but Li Hong's body was covered in numerous horrific wounds. These wounds were strange, as if someone had used a knife to literally carve pieces of flesh from Li Hong, leaving deep holes that exposed bone. All the wounds were unable to heal; the blood had dried up, and now yellow fluid seeped from the wounds. Apart from his significantly thinner face, he resembled a tragic skeleton.
The severity of these injuries was truly shocking, and no matter how much Li Fire Aura Chuxiong infused into Li Hong, it seemed to have no effect; Li Hong showed no response at all.
Chuxiong's initial joy gradually turned into panic as he repeatedly called out for his elder brother, while everyone around him frantically tried to help.
In the chaos, Chuxuan stepped forward and loudly said, "Master! Stop wasting time here! Hurry and take Senior Brother back to Temple City to find Wuweizi!"
Wuwei was the chief elder of the Heavenly Pill Hall, well-versed in medicine and alchemy. This reminder made Chuxiong grateful as he glanced at Chuxuan and immediately lifted Li Hong, using his escape light to flee.
The crowd hurriedly summoned their magical treasures to follow, but only Chuxuan remained behind. He stood alone at the edge of the deep pit, gazing down at the Heavenly Torch standing with arms crossed, a deep worry etched on his face that gradually turned into confusion.
"The immortal realm no longer exists. Then what is our purpose in cultivating immortality from now on?"
********
Li Hong had a long dream.
At first, someone gently called his name and placed him in a large barrel. As his entire body soaked in the cold liquid, Li Hong felt extremely comfortable and wanted to stay in this dream forever. Then something strange happened. In a daze, someone appeared before him, bending down towards the large wooden barrel. It was a woman dressed in a pure white translucent garment. Through the open neckline, Li Hong clearly saw an enticing curve. Her face was covered with a white veil that revealed only her sparkling eyes like stars. Her hair was styled high like Wang Xianji, with a glimmering red hue shining against her dark hair.
"Fire Jade Hairpin..." Li Hong recognized it. Looking at the beauty extending her delicate white hand towards him and seeing those familiar dark eyes, Li Hong felt as if struck by lightning. "Chu Xi..."
No, it absolutely cannot be Chu Xi. Chu Xi is far away, waiting for me to find her, Li Hong told himself. However, she had already bent down towards him, effortlessly lifting him out of the wooden barrel and snuggling up to him.
A familiar fragrance wafted towards his nose, somewhat reminiscent of osmanthus but lighter and more elegant.
Forget-Me-Not Butterfly.
How many years had it been since he smelled the scent of Forget-Me-Not Butterfly on Chu Xi? Li Hong was intoxicated by this aroma, and before he knew it, he leaned down and kissed a soft, warm, moist figure in his embrace.
Two figures overlapped.
A surge of warmth coursed through his body, bringing life to withered wood. Small flesh buds began to sprout from his bones, growing longer and intertwining, new muscle and skin continuously forming. Soon, Li Hong's body was no longer just a skeleton; it became full and robust. His mind gradually cleared as he unconsciously assumed a cross-legged position and began to operate his mental cultivation method without distraction.
A graceful figure stood in front of Li Hong, her forehead slightly flushed with sweat. She gazed at him intently, not wanting to look away for a long while before quietly slipping out of the room.
The door closed tightly once more.
Li Hong was unaware of this figure's presence. He felt that he had merely experienced a dream—a very enchanting spring dream.
********
After an unknown amount of time, Li Hong opened his eyes.
He discovered that he was in his old room in Temple City. Outside the small window was the vast blue sea. All the furnishings were exactly as they had been before he left: a simple white wooden table, a smooth wooden couch, a wooden bookshelf, and a wooden box in the corner. He was currently sitting cross-legged on the wooden couch.
However, there was one thing in the room that hadn’t been there before. In front of the couch was a large wooden barrel filled with Crystal Light that shimmered with a faint green glow; it contained more than half a barrel of some strange unknown liquid. On the edge of the barrel, Li Hong noticed something very peculiar.
It was a piece of white gauze, less than a foot wide, semi-transparent, and it seemed... Li Hong recognized it; wasn't this the gauze that Chu Xi wore over her face in his dreams?
Li Hongfei stepped forward, reaching out to pick up the gauze. It was soft and very light, and a familiar fragrance emanated from it.
Forget-Me-Not Butterfly.
Li Hong was stunned.
At that moment, a gentle knocking sound came from outside the door. Someone was trying hard to suppress their excitement. Li Hong heard Chuxiong's familiar voice asking, "Big Brother, are you awake?"
!!!!!!!!
I sincerely apologize for the long absence due to my poor health, which made it impossible for me to write.
Now I am resuming updates.
However, since my health is still not ideal, I cannot guarantee that updates will be as frequent as before; this situation may continue for some time. But one thing I can assure all my readers is that this book will definitely not be abandoned. I will complete all the plots I had planned long ago.
Sometimes I really wish my body were made of iron, but unfortunately, the reality is quite the opposite.
