Chapter 202 - A Lifelong Obsession

TL-checked – Zaki, Edited- Animeart

—————–

This time-node was uncertain. Lin Shu roughly selected an interval based on the result of his deductions, and then brought Guiltless in.

The scene changed again, the whole sky was spinning. Lin Shu thought – it was no wonder that Immortal Lord Yuehua wanted to seal this mirror. Whether to change the past, or have a glimpse of the future, once it fell in the hands of those who had determination and bad aspiration; they could indeed cause a disaster of the level of the reversal of the sun and the moon.

And the context of this mirror was now completely clear.

In ancient times, Huandang mountain was the mountain that connected to the Heavenly Dao. The residence of the Immortal Dao Emperor was also equipped with a Divine Artifact, the “Life and Creation Platform”, which controlled the lifeblood of the world — once owned, this kind of Divine Artifact could be very capricious when controlling the world and this was extremely dangerous. Perhaps it was for this reason that the Immortal Dao Emperor destroyed it.

Many years later, Qingming Demon Lord was born – He was an out-and-out villainous man, but also an amazingly gifted person. Perhaps looking for fun, or perhaps there was something he was seeking, he used the remnants of the artifact ‘Life and Creation Platform’ and refined it into the ‘Evil Karma Platform’ that connected the past and the future.

Then, in order to prevent any disasters, the righteous Immortal Lord Yuehua pulled out his sword and wanted to act on behalf of heaven, to kill Qingming Demon Lord and destroy the ‘Evil Karma Platform’- this may have been the beginning of their entanglement. Later, perhaps because of fate, or sympathizing with each other, in short, they didn’t fight to the death, but compromised. Immortal Lord Yuehua sealed one side of the mirror so that it couldn’t play a role or function.

Having mastered the ‘Evil Karma Platform’, Lin Shu really realized the context of time and cause and effect, and knew the composition of the world in a higher dimension.

However, he just learned the method now. He realized that the Great Wizard created Elysium using the same principle. – How did the Great Wizard know this method?

He had a vague uneasiness in his heart, but could not say what it was. He steadied his mind and landed with Guiltless.

The sun was in full force during the sixth month.

The mirror floated silently on his side.

He chose the time point, but he didn’t know how to choose the place. So he decided to let the mirror decide by itself.

This mirror connected Cause and Effect and carried Fortune Luck. Since it brought you to a specific place, it must be because something was happening in this place that would affect future Cause and Effect.

Lin Shu looked around the tall eaves, glazed colorful tiles, and the orderly palace stuff, and found that this place was really the Imperial City of Southern Xia.

He was holding Guiltless and it was not convenient to walk around. Fortunately, Guiltless was sensible at this time and entered the Qingming cave.

Lin Shu used a stealth technique to make himself invisible and, gradually approached the Empress’ residence, and halfway through, he heard two pieces of news from the palace maid’s mouth

The first was that the Little Highness was born, the first child of His Majesty, a little princess.

Second, Little Highness was seriously ill and in a critical condition. His Majesty who had gone incognito in Jiangnan was very anxious and was rushing home.

Little princess… That must be Ling Fengxiao.

This was when Ling Fengxiao had just been born.

An unspeakable feeling pervaded Lin Shu’s heart. He felt very soft in his heart and wanted to laugh involuntarily, but at the same time, he was very sad.

He took a few deep breaths and came to the periphery of the Empress’ bedchamber – with his cultivation level, he could enter and leave any place in the world without being detected.

The Empress and the Headmistress of the Phoenix Mountain Villa dismissed the crowd and were conferring in secret.

The Headmistress’ tone was very anxious: “Although his true gender has been concealed and there is no leak in information. But due to this Phoenix blood disturbance ……The child is going to die.”

The Empress’ voice was still weak after childbirth: “The famous doctors in the world can’t help it. It is said that the ancestors of our Phoenix Mountain Villa have also been pregnant with Phoenix blood… How did they survive?”

“Phoenix blood has extreme Yang Qi. This child is a boy and the situation is much more serious than that of his ancestors. A few days ago, you often had severe abdominal pain. I have checked the ancient texts and found that Yin and Yang are harmonious – ice and charcoal rest together. If you get the help of extreme cold Qi, you can solve the Phoenix blood. Our ancestors became a Taoist companion with the Immortal King of the Sword Pavilion, so they lived a long life… But the Sword Pavilion is now secluded from the world and doesn’t bother with affairs of the outside world. I already sent an envoy, but no one was able to enter the Mountain Gate of the Sword Pavilion. ”

The Empress seemed to sigh, and her voice contained her tears: “My Feng’er…..”

“Sister Jin, you are confused again. This is your newborn son, not Feng’er.”

The Empress did not say anything in return for those words, instead said: “We need to find a way before His Majesty returns. Sister, the matter must start with the Sword Pavilion &#k2026;&#k2026;”

Lin Shu stood outside the door, the wind was strong, blowing down bright red begonia petals to the ground.

He looked at the fading remnants of red and recalled the man in the Cause and Effect mirror.

In the mountain full of peach blossoms, there was a man wearing green clothes and his hair was inserted with a wooden hairpin.

He looked at his clothes — sometimes seeing an object could remind people of some things. White clothes always reminded him of Xiao Shao who loved to see Lin Shu in white clothes. Two years ago, he changed to light green robes.

The jade crown was suitable for white clothes, and the wooden hairpin was suitable for green clothes.

Inexorably, he had a mysterious feeling.

He lightly knocked on the Palace hall’s door.

The Headmistress’ voice was full of murderous vigilance: “Who is it?”

Lin Shu said, “A person from the Sword Pavilion.”

“Sword Pavilion?” He heard the Empress call softly, “Sister, please.”

Lin Shu was then invited in.

When she was in her youth, the Empress was very beautiful, but Lin Shu didn’t have the heart to look at it.

He saw at a glance – a very small, very tiny ball in the brocade quilt among the heavy bed curtains.

His eyes seemed a little wet, and the unspeakable softness. .h.i.t his soul again. He subconsciously lightened his breathing.

The seal symbolizing his ident.i.ty as the Pavilion Master and the token of the Sword Pavilion were all with him, and this was enough to prove his ident.i.ty to the Empress.

“Pavilion Master,” the Phoenix Villa Headmistress’ eyes were sincerely excited and happy: “Our child’s Phoenix blood…”

“Pavilion Master,” the Empress’ voice interrupted the Phoenix Villa Headmistress and in a soft voice she asked, “You have gone out of your way to come all the way here, is there something important?”

Since she had given him this opportunity, even if Lin Shu could not speak anymore, he knew what to say and do at this time: “I have a request from your Phoenix Mountain Villa.”

“Immortal Lord, please speak. My sister and I will do everything we can,” the Empress said softly.

“The bloodline of the young Highness, I can help with the true Qi of the Sword Pavilion,” Lin Shu began to lie with a straight face and open eyes: “I am looking for you and the Headmistress of the Phoenix Mountain Villa because I realized the sword technique has some sense of “Nirvana” and I can’t understand it. I want to borrow the ancient books related to the ancient Phoenix from the villa.”

In any case, it was well known that people in the Sword Pavilion were pa.s.sionate about swords.

He could not take out the feather to show these two, for fear that they would recognize it as something from their own Villa.

The Empress seemed to ponder for a moment: “This …… is naturally possible. It’s just the blood of my child, does the Immortal Lord really have a solution?”

Lin Shu: “Might as well let me give it a try.”

The Empress agreed.

But Her Highness was a golden and n.o.ble princess, even though she was only a newborn baby who was only a few days old, how could she let outsiders see her? However, Lin Shu was looking like someone filled with compa.s.sion and love. Finally the Empress pulled the curtains and let out a snow-white, fat little hand —- from inside the curtain, he could hear the little thing’s rapid breathing.

A golden longevity lock was wrapped around her small wrist which made her skin look more white and bright.

Lin Shu gently held the soft little hand at once.

His heart was very sour and his fingers trembled. He wanted to kiss this little hand, but the Headmistress and the Empress were right beside him and he could only hold the little hand with decorum.

His meridians were abolished by himself, but fortunately there were still a few Spirit Gathering Pills left in the bottle that could stimulate spiritual power.

He then took a pill, and drew his spiritual power into thin threads and slowly sent it into the meridians of this little thing.

The spiritual power circulated and calmed the surging Phoenix blood; the rapid breathing from Ling Fengxiao was now much more stable. The jade-like hands gently held Lin Shu’s fingers, making Lin Shu’s heart a little itchy.

However, the child’s body was weak and his meridians were thin. He could bear only limited true Qi and spiritual power, and the Blazing Yang Qi would continue to grow. He roughly estimated that this spiritual power infusion could last for four or five years.

After informing the two of them of the situation, they were both worried and asked what would happen after four or five years.

Lin Shu said he would come back in four or five years.

——All in all, he had three chances and was not afraid to make an extra trip, but could not let this little Phoenix, that was still a cub, suffer.

The Empress seemed relieved, but she put forward a new problem — according to the ancient texts, the more that the child grew up, the more rampant the effect of the Phoenix Blood would be. Simply transmitting spiritual power could not solve the problem in the longer run, and other means would be needed — she cited an example of the ancestors of the Phoenix bloodline, and then with a voice that contained a trace of hope, she said: “Immortal Lord, my sister and I are very grateful… But what should we do in 20 years? This little woman begs the Immortal Lord, if the Sword Pavilion has children of the right age, could, could ……”

Her voice was a bit bashful: “I know it’s wishful thinking, but as a mother I am really worried about my child. If I can form a marriage alliance with the Sword Pavilion, then my child could be saved from pain caused by the bloodline and I…….would rest a.s.sured. If the Immortal Lord would allow me, all the ancient texts of the Phoenix Mountain Villa could be given to the Immortal Lord. If the Immortal Lord needs them, even the property and territory of the Phoenix Mountain Villa could also be given. The whole Villa would be extremely grateful and would never forget.”

Lin Shu: “….”

He finally understood what the Empress meant.

The central idea was that – I want to fix a Daoist Companion for my child who could solve the problem of the Phoenix Blood, if you agree, the ancient cla.s.sics will be shown to you.

According to the usual logic, for the sake of the Sword, the Immortal Lord of the Sword Pavilion wanted the ancient texts of the Phoenix. Swordsmanship was the lifeline of the Sword Pavilion people. She used this lifeline of the Immortal Lord to blackmail the Sword Pavilion to a.s.sign a Daoist companion for Dual Cultivation.

Lin Shu’s lifeblood was no longer the Sword but this little sickly Phoenix and the sickly chick that the little Phoenix had left behind.

Therefore, even if she had the wrong understanding, she still had grasped Lin Shu’s lifeline.

What could Lin Shu do?

None.

In order to see ancient texts regarding Nirvana, he could only agree.

He just felt ridiculous.

The little fool had no master at all. It was Lin Shu who sold himself for several ancient texts.

After agreeing, the Headmistress of the Phoenix Mountain Villa was very happy and made a quick decision and didn’t give Lin Shu any chance to regret his decision: “Immortal Lord, if you agree, we’ll sign the marriage contract immediately.”

Lin Shu: “…….”

Phoenix Mountain Villa Headmistress took his silence as his agreement.

Immediately, he watched the Phoenix Mountain Villa Headmistress prepare a full set of doc.u.ments of his future sale.

The Headmistress took out a writing brush and started to write.

There were all the cliche sentences, “Fowls and boars originate from the same village, the mulberry and catalpa trees converge. Tie the auspicious knot early and further re-affirm the old friendship”.

“In Liang Prefecture, the Phoenix Mountain Villa Headmistress’s first daughter, with ……”

As she wrote till here, the Headmistress got stuck and said, “I haven’t asked Immortal Lord’s native place and name yet.”

Lin Shu’s soul had already left his body: “I am a native of Min Prefecture.”

“Min Prefecture…” the Headmistress pursed her lips as wrote and asked, “What is the name of the Immortal Lord?”

Lin Shu: “No name.”

“People in the Immortal Dao have always been named after their names…” the Empress said in a soft voice: “Does the Immortal Lord dislike us and doesn’t want to reveal…”

Lin Shu quickly stopped her sobbing words and said, “It’s not so.”

“But if you don’t have a name, the marriage agreement would be irregular, which would lead to criticism from others. Where is Immortal Lord’s hometown? Or if you have a beloved place and a permanent residence, you can use that as your name.”

Lin Shu was a little confused.

He does not have a fixed residence, nor does he have any place to return to.

There were several places in his heart.

In the past, at the Shangling Academy, he had lived with the Big Miss in the Bamboo Garden. The Peach Blossom Land in the deep mountains of Northern Xia. There was also the Phoenix Mountain Villa, which was finally filled with blood mist, and even the Peach Blossom Valley that Xiao Shao left for him in Bing Prefecture.

The reason why he liked it was because he had Xiao Shao there and spent many days there safely without the intrusion of world’s affairs. In terms of its nature, it was all a paradise and related to one person.

——–This was also all he asked for in this life to return to the place, with the unattainable hope.

Xiao Shao had said “When the east wind blows down the Peach blossoms and touches your robes, it would mean I have come to see you.”

He closed his eyes, knowing that he would eventually be governed by an unchangeable Karmic fate.

He tried to avoid those two words, but at this moment, he had only two words in his mind.

He opened his mouth and said softly, “Taoyuan.”

The Headmistress wrote slowly.

Min Prefecture, Lord Taoyuan.

————–

Ela — Ooff.. What a twist! Lord Taoyuan ( who was supposedly Lin Shu’s master ) was none other than Lin Shu who travelled to the past using the mirror.

Zaki~~ So there it goes, now you know who Lin Shu is now….next ident.i.ty…the Great Wizard.
