Chapter 135 Half-Demon's Last Encounter
That person cried their heart out, as if they had lost a beloved person.
Liu Jun felt a headache coming on; a sword pierced his heart, and he was so frightened that he suddenly woke up.
"Fuck!!!"
Liu Jun sprang to his feet like a carp leaping out of the water. He clutched his chest and took a while to catch his breath before looking around at his surroundings.
It was broad daylight, the sky so blue it was almost unreal, and she lay amidst ruins that looked like they had been abandoned for many years.
The area was overgrown with poisonous vines, but the small patch of ground where she lay was completely bare, with no ordinary vegetation growing there, and the paving stones laid by humans were still faintly visible on the ground.
Liu Jun raised one hand and moved it around. Her spiritual power was still there, and her storage ring was still there. She was still herself.
He lowered his hands and observed the surroundings for a while. Although it was a place of ruins, he could still see some traces of its former appearance.
It's a pity that such a beautiful estate has become so desolate.
She had accidentally fallen into someone's illusion. In thousands of years, aside from those uncontrollable factors, this was the first time she had ever been tricked in a secret realm.
The person who created this dream is indeed very capable.
The text only states that this secret realm was formed from the mansion left behind by a person who had become an immortal. As for the people of the upper realm, she was indeed no match for them, so it's no wonder she fell for their trick.
“Mo Shao…”
Could he be the former owner of this secret realm?
Since it was created from the abode of an immortal, naturally no one else could have created such a dream; it could only be him.
In the dream, this mountain village was suddenly struck by disaster, and almost all the people there were wiped out. No one knows how that person managed to escape and become an immortal.
I don't know if setting up this illusion was to leave a memory or if it was formed automatically from a discarded obsession.
Such deep entanglements and bonds make it impossible to ascend; the second possibility is probably more likely.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with her; that's not why she came to the secret realm.
In order to successfully enter the secret realm, she even placed a "thread of connection" on Lu Xihan, just to prevent the main body from being unable to enter.
The "One Line Connects" contains a fragment of her being, which can silently attach to her scalp and become a single hair, making it completely undetectable.
Although the clones have different strengths than the original body, they are sufficient to handle the situation within the secret realm as long as they can be brought in.
It was originally just a backup plan, but now that she's in too, things are much easier.
Unlike other secret realms supported only by treasures, the Immortal's Abode Secret Realm can accommodate anyone from the lower realm, and it will not suddenly collapse even if all the treasures are taken.
It's like the difference between a house supported by a spine and a ball. If you remove the spine, the house will collapse, but even if you hollow out a ball, it still has an outer shell.
Liu Jun touched his forehead with his hand and released his divine sense to sense the presence of demons. The traces of demons are different from those of humans, but they are easier to find than humans, especially since this one is a demon lord.
One advantage of the mansions and secret realms is that they are not very big. Some are only the size of a mountain, while others are like an island. They are far from the natural secret realms that would take dozens of days to explore from east to west.
A secret realm is like a small world, while a mansion secret realm is created by human effort, so naturally there isn't enough time to make it that big.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as those who like to "expand their territory".
Fortunately, this secret realm wasn't too large. Liu Jun only needed a few minutes to spread his divine sense to the edge of the secret realm (note that this was only a few minutes for Liu Jun, which is still quite a large area), and he also found the location of the demon cultivator.
Liu Jun slowly opened his eyes. Before leaving, he glanced at the place a few more times, wondering if he should help burn the rampant ghost vines and poisonous tendrils that grew there. After thinking about it, he decided against it.
Having these things around would reduce the chances of others accidentally wandering in, so he lightly leaped away from this ruined place.
All secret realms have restrictions of varying sizes. Those who are trapped by these restrictions cannot use the art of flying unless they can withstand the pressure of the restrictions and force their way into the air, which is extremely taxing on their spiritual energy.
Liu Jun didn't want to be the one to suffer this injustice. In fact, this secret realm didn't have any restrictions on cultivation level. There were plenty of ways to speed up her journey on land as well. With just a Swiftness Talisman, she could run through the entire secret realm in half a day.
Of course, it's just that they weren't careful enough. Those who wanted the opportunity and the secret treasure would naturally have to carefully measure the road step by step with their feet.
……
She thought she would die here alone, in this very place.
That's good, I won't be ostracized or ridiculed anymore, and I won't have to hear those offensive words.
Even now that she is the Demon Lord, she is still talked about behind her back by those demons, and even... plotted to kill her.
The weather was fine today, but her back was still festering, and now it had spread to her arms. Her demonic power was being slowly corroded by this strange demonic poison, and she had no power to resist.
It was another beautiful day. She sat listlessly on her handmade stool, looking up at the sky, waiting for the day to come.
She has been looking at this unchanging sky for almost a hundred years.
Actually, she didn't know if a hundred years had passed; she hadn't kept track of the days for a long time.
He glanced at her small courtyard, then looked at the path leading into the woods.
"It doesn't hurt as much today, let's go for a walk..."
"It's okay to take a walk..."
"These legs can't be allowed to rust..."
"My hands are so sore, I don't know if I'll even be able to lift anything tomorrow..."
She muttered to herself as she slowly stood up, leaning on her cane, moving her feet like a frail old woman. Yet, her face was that of a young and beautiful woman, while her body was extremely thin and bony.
She knew her days were numbered, so she wanted to go back to that familiar forest and see the creatures that couldn't yet speak, since they were things she knew well.
She walked very slowly, only managing to walk thirty or fifty meters in half a day, but she kept walking.
She was surrounded by familiar surroundings, and even at night she would not be in any danger, so she could walk with peace of mind.
She walked for a very long time, until midnight, and came to the familiar pool of water. At that moment, many fireflies were flying around the pool, which was quite a beautiful sight.
She found a rock by the pool and sat down on it; it was the rock she often sat on.
He sat down, put down his cane, and began to watch the fireflies. He watched until dawn.
……
Today is another beautiful day, just like every other day for years.
I don't know how long she sat there, but when I came to my senses, half a day had passed.
"I need to go back now, I haven't fed the two little guys at home yet..."
"Really, how did he get so senile so quickly, just like an ordinary person..."
He fumbled for the cane beside him, slowly stood up, and leaned on it to walk back the way he came, step by step.
Her five senses had deteriorated significantly, and her demonic power had been almost completely devoured, so she was unaware that someone had been silently observing her ever since she sat by the pool last night.
But even if she knew, it wouldn't matter. A person who is about to die poses no threat to anyone; she is just a pitiful creature.
She walked a long way from her courtyard, far enough for her, and it took her most of the day to get back.
It was nearly dusk again, and the light of day was still out. She walked back to the small courtyard, but as she entered, she noticed something unusual about it.
She leaned shakily on her cane, looking in surprise at the stranger in her yard who was leaning against the railing, head propped up, admiring the beautiful sunset.
"Hey, you're back. How was the firefly watching?"
Hearing the door open, the person tilted their head and looked over, speaking in a very familiar tone, as if they were old friends.
She could no longer tell whether the other party was a human cultivator, a demon cultivator, or something else, nor could she tell whether the other party was good or bad, or what their intentions were.
Her only thought now is that it's been almost a hundred years, and finally she's seen a living person!
Mo Xianghuan, leaning on her cane, walked shakily toward the man, her expression filled with unreadable excitement.
"You, you...who are you?"
"Liu Xing, a rogue cultivator."
Liu Jun smiled and took a few steps toward her, his tone calm, showing no joy or excitement as if he had seen her.
“Human cultivation…human cultivation is pretty good, pretty good…”
Mo Xianghuan was deeply moved. When he saw the two of them getting close, he wanted to reach out and touch the person opposite him, fearing that this was just a hallucination before his death, but he stopped himself.
"You... don't come near me, go away!"
Upon hearing this, the person opposite her indeed stopped and looked at her with a hint of confusion.
Mo Xianghuan lowered her eyes, the light in them slowly fading: "I am poisoned."
The person opposite seemed to be silent for a moment before calmly saying, "I know, and... I can help you heal."
Upon hearing this, Mo Xianghuan's pupils contracted, and she abruptly raised her head to look at her face, trying to see if there was any falsehood in her eyes.
But the man simply smiled and looked at her tenderly, like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
