Chapter 694: Chapter 693: Leaving Quietly

When Lin Yun revealed it was a Divine Level Technique, Luo Feng was completely rattled. His hands, cradling the Cyan Dragon Technique, even started to tremble.

Although the existence of Divine Level Techniques was common knowledge on the Celestial Spirit Continent, in truth, no one had ever seen one. If any power on the entire continent possessed such a technique, it would likely only be the Four Great Ancient Races.

Even Overlord Level Powers on the Celestial Spirit Continent, such as the Spiritual Light Main Pavilion and the Celestial Spirit Auction House, did not possess a Divine Level Technique.

Upon learning that Lin Yun had given him a Divine Level Technique, Luo Feng was stunned for a long moment. He finally took a deep breath, calming himself slightly before asking, "Is this the legacy of the Cyan Dragon Palace?"

A Divine Level Technique was more than enough to convince Luo Feng that this was the true legacy of the Cyan Dragon Palace. In response, Lin Yun simply smiled and nodded, not telling Luo Feng about the Cyan Dragon.

As he handed the Cyan Dragon Technique to Luo Feng, Lin Yun gave him a solemn reminder. "Master, you must cultivate this Cyan Dragon Technique yourself. Do not pass it on to anyone else, not even the Supreme Elders. You should know how tempting a Divine Level Technique can be."

Luo Feng nodded gravely at Lin Yun’s warning. He was well aware that a Divine Level Technique could bring utter annihilation upon the entire Flawless Palace.

Having obtained a Divine Level Technique like the Cyan Dragon Technique, Luo Feng’s excitement was palpable. Although he was the Palace Master of Flawless Palace, he was not old—at least, not for someone in the Spirit Realm.

Being so young, Luo Feng’s passion for the Martial Arts was still burning brightly. Now, with a Divine Level Technique, he was certain he could break through to the Saint Realm and become a Saint.

Lin Yun didn’t stay with Luo Feng for long. He could see that his master was so excited he was dying to start cultivating the Cyan Dragon Technique immediately. Before he left, however, Lin Yun reminded Luo Feng that if he was going to switch cultivation techniques, it would be best to wait until he was back at Flawless Palace.

Switching cultivation techniques meant completely discarding his previous one and starting over from scratch with the new one. The process was lengthy and required absolute freedom from disturbance, which was why Lin Yun had offered the reminder.

After leaving Luo Feng, Lin Yun found Qin Feng. The two of them went to Lin Yun’s tent, where he likewise gave the Cyan Dragon Technique to Qin Feng.

When Qin Feng learned it was a Divine Level Technique, his reaction was even more stunned than Luo Feng’s. He stood there, dazed, for a full quarter of an hour before he could even begin to process it.

"Cultivate this Divine Level Technique diligently. It will bring you immense benefits in the future," Lin Yun said with a smile once Qin Feng had somewhat recovered.

"Brother Lin... I..." Qin Feng looked at Lin Yun, wanting to say something, but he was too overwhelmed with emotion to form a complete sentence.

Lin Yun smiled and gently patted Qin Feng’s shoulder. "Keep working hard. I’m afraid the Celestial Spirit Continent doesn’t have much peaceful time left. Seize every moment to improve yourself."

Lin Yun was referring to the fact that the Space Passage would soon be completely open, but Qin Feng didn’t understand the implication.

After receiving the Cyan Dragon Technique, Qin Feng left Lin Yun’s tent. He had only taken a few steps before he turned to look back, his eyes filled with extraordinary determination.

Since meeting Lin Yun in Yanhuang Country, Qin Feng had changed a great deal. He was once a profligate young master, but now he had become a Celestial Spirit Realm expert who could hold his own.

That’s right. Although he hadn’t been able to enter the ruins, in just half a year, Qin Feng had already broken through to Celestial Spirit Realm Minor Achievement.

He swore to himself that he would grow stronger. Even though he had lost an arm, in his heart, he still saw himself as the sharpest sword in Lin Yun’s hand. That had never changed.

And in the future, Qin Feng would indeed live up to his decision. Even after ascending to the Divine Realm, he remained one of Lin Yun’s most capable War Generals, his name striking fear into the hearts of those in both the Divine and Demon Realms. But of course, that is a story for another time.

Having given the Cyan Dragon Technique to Qin Feng and Luo Feng, Lin Yun thought it was about time he returned to the Yanhuang Capital. This time, he planned to bring his parents and Zhong Lin with him to the Eastern Heart Domain.

Lin Yun was planning his return to the Yanhuang Capital, but just then, Xi Zijin and the other disciples from the Spiritual Light Pavilion were already preparing to depart. Meng Liuli brought Xi Zijin to see Luo Feng specifically to bid him farewell.

After bidding farewell to Luo Feng, Xi Zijin followed Meng Liuli out of the main tent. Standing outside, Xi Zijin gazed in the direction of Lin Yun’s tent. Seeing this, Meng Liuli asked with a soft laugh.

"Don’t you want to go say goodbye?"

Hearing her master’s words, Xi Zijin silently shook her head. Meng Liuli didn’t press the matter, merely remarking faintly, "Some opportunities, once missed, are gone for a lifetime."

At Meng Liuli’s words, a flicker of reluctance appeared in Xi Zijin’s eyes, but in the end, she still turned and followed her master away.

In her heart, Xi Zijin felt that she and Lin Yun were perhaps destined to never be. Lin Yun already had three peerlessly beautiful confidantes—Lu Bingning and the others. Besides, Zijin could sense that whenever they were together, Lin Yun always kept a certain distance.

The intelligent Xi Zijin knew that Lin Yun kept his distance because of those three women.

The people from the Spiritual Light Pavilion departed, and Xi Zijin with them. ’Perhaps,’ she thought, ’that half a year in the mysterious world, in the Demon Palace, was the happiest time of my life. Because there, Lin Yun belonged only to me.’

’There was no Lu Bingning, no Lan Xi, no Mo Qingliu. Just me and Lin Yun.’

’But now we’ve left. We’re back on the Celestial Spirit Continent. Perhaps my feelings for Lin Yun should be sealed away, left behind in that mysterious world.’

’Since the mysterious world is gone, my feelings for him should vanish with it.’

And so, Xi Zijin left with the people of the Spiritual Light Pavilion without saying goodbye to Lin Yun, without leaving so much as a single word.

It wasn’t until the next day, as the people from Flawless Palace were also preparing to leave, that Lin Yun learned Xi Zijin was already gone. She had left without a single word.

A definite feeling of loss settled in his heart. Lin Yun went alone to the entrance of the great hall in the ruins. The Cyan Dragon Palace had now completely lost its Energy, and the Divine Demonic Golem that once guarded it was now just a pile of rubble.

"Is this really the best outcome?" He walked into the great hall of the Cyan Dragon Palace and went to the spot where the three Light Gates had once stood, only to find they were now gone.

But as he looked at the empty space, Lin Yun could almost still feel the presence of the three Light Gates. This was where his feelings for Xi Zijin had begun, and now that moment was gone.

Muttering to himself, Lin Yun couldn’t understand what was wrong with him. He just felt an uncomfortable ache, as if he had lost something important.
