Chapter 120: When We Meet Again, We Are Already Strangers
Page 1/3
Wang Li’s feelings toward Master Chu Xuan were complicated. In his heart, Master Chu Xuan was not only his teacher but also like family. She had accompanied Wang Li throughout his childhood, deeply influencing him. After Wang Li’s soul was restored, Master Chu Xuan repaired her own state of mind, broke through in cultivation, and then returned to seclude herself in the Pure Yang Secret Realm. They had not seen each other for nearly twenty years.
Wang Li planned to leave the Pure Yang Sect after handling the remaining matters. Before departing, he intended to visit his master once more.
Liu Wanjin hesitated and said, “Senior Sister Chu Xuan is preparing to break through to the Tribulation stage. She is currently readying herself to face the Tribulation Formation. If you go see her now, I worry it might leave a rift in her state of mind...”
Tribulation? Then I really must see her.
Wang Li asked, “Has she already entered the Tribulation Formation?”
Liu Wanjin shook his head. “She’s still hesitating.”
“You know, Wang Li means a lot to her. Since you appeared...”
He wanted to say more, but Wang Li interrupted him.
“All the more reason to see her. She nearly lost her Dao heart because of me. Now that she’s about to undergo tribulation, it would be good if I could lend a hand.”
After saying this, Wang Li released his divine sense and began to search for Master Chu Xuan’s location within the secret realm.
Having helped the Pure Yang Sect perfect many cultivation methods, the senior experts in the Pure Yang Secret Realm no longer rejected him. His divine sense search did not provoke the displeasure it once had when he first entered the realm.
The Pure Yang Secret Realm was vast, but its core area was not large. As a core member of the Pure Yang Sect, Master Chu Xuan naturally cultivated in the core area. Wang Li quickly located her aura and locked on to her position.
Wang Li said to Liu Wanjin, “Disciple Liu, the hidden injuries within your body have not fully healed. The ‘Thunderous Justice Scroll’ can enhance a cultivator’s vitality, but it is insufficient to fully restore your hidden injuries. I have completed the ‘Qingmu Health Preservation Technique’ from the Holy Medical Hall. You can combine these two methods to smooth your meridians. I believe it won’t take more than a few years before you fully recover.”
He handed a card to Liu Wanjin. “This is the ‘Qingmu Health Preservation Technique.’ Our karmic ties end here.”
With that, he vanished.
Liu Wanjin called out, “Aren’t you coming with me to the Scripture Pavilion?”
Wang Li’s voice echoed from afar, “You are exceptionally talented. Guarding the Scripture Pavilion is a waste of time. Heal your injuries; the sect will not allow your progress to be delayed.”
Liu Wanjin’s emotions were mixed.
“Foolish one, Wang Li is right. You should seclude yourself here with me. Bring your senior sister along as well. You elders have lower realms than the juniors; it’s a disgrace to me!”
Xu Jing appeared beside Liu Wanjin without warning. He looked toward the direction Wang Li had left and sighed, “What a pity. Such a pity...”
Liu Wanjin puzzled, “Is Master sighing for Wang Li?”

“No, Master is sighing for himself.”
Xu Jing said bitterly, “Master has taken many disciples in his life, countless official disciples, yet none can match Wang Li. Master has handed over a group of disappointments; what’s wrong with sighing twice?”
“I’ve brought shame to Master,” Liu Wanjin said.
...
Master Chu Xuan sensed Wang Li’s divine sense and awoke from her cultivation.
Stepping out of her secluded courtyard, she saw Wang Li quietly standing at the entrance.
Wang Li bowed deeply to Master Chu Xuan. “I thank you on behalf of Wang Li for your care over the years. Wang Li hopes your immortal fortune will flourish, so that when he returns, you will still be his master.”
“You needn’t be so formal. Chu Xuan only wishes to know if Wang Li will truly return,” her voice sincere.
She was already content that Wang Li had come and spoken these words; she did not believe her little Li was still alive in this world. Yet, in her heart, there remained a glimmer of hope.
Wang Li nodded solemnly, “In the short term, it may be ten thousand years; in the long term, a full era. Wang Li will surely return. If you wish to see him again, you must advance further along the path of longevity.”
“I have upgraded the ‘Thunderous Justice Scroll’ to a Heavenly Tier technique. You need not rush to break through to the Tribulation stage. First, cultivate this method; it will greatly improve your chances of success.”
“I used your disciple’s physical body. This ‘Wrath of Thunder’ shall serve as my compensation to you.”
“I do not hope that when Wang Li returns, he will be unable to see the person he cares about most.”
“Remember this: The Dao is merciless, but humans have feelings. In this vast mortal world, only with a steadfast goal can one reach the highest peaks. The heart must not be disturbed. Greed, anger, and ignorance are the greatest taboos in cultivation but also the driving force for humans’ pursuit of higher realms. You must grasp the balance.”
“That is all. Our karmic ties have ended. The karma between Wang Li and you remains. If fate allows, you two will continue your teacher-student bond.”
“Farewell!”
Before Master Chu Xuan could speak, Wang Li directly implanted the ‘Wrath of Thunder’ into her sea of consciousness, then broke through the secret realm’s spatial barrier and returned to the Pure Yang Sect’s mountain gate.
Master Chu Xuan stood dazed, not snapping out of it until Grandma Zheng arrived.
“Didn’t expect to meet a stranger upon reunion,” she sighed, her mood heavy.
Grandma Zheng comforted her, “Wang Li still has a chance to return. You should be grateful.”
“Can he really come back?”
“He has no reason to lie to you.”

“Senior Sister, my heart feels blocked. Thinking of his coldness pains me so much.”
“Don’t dwell endlessly on the past. Master said it; that elder spoke the truth. Could Master lie?”
Master Chu Xuan was stunned. “Isn’t Master often deceitful?”
Grandma Zheng was speechless.
...
Wang Li had just arrived at the Pure Yang Sect’s mountain gate when someone called out to him.
“Disciple Wang! Disciple Wang! I have been waiting for you for a long time!”
Wang Li looked at the newcomer and smiled, “You’ve been obedient. How do you feel now—light and free?”
Ling Xiao smiled awkwardly, “I was reluctant at first, but after hearing about the disaster at Yuzhang Sect, I’m very glad. Thank you for your guidance, Disciple Wang.”
He bowed deeply to Wang Li, a sincere gesture.
Others might not understand why the Yuzhang Sect had fallen on hard times, but Ling Xiao knew the truth well.
When Wuliu Zhengying was hunted by the Yuzhang Sect, he “coincidentally” found a divine sword. Although he never saw the sword’s true form, he was certain that Wuliu Zhengying had taken his place.
Though possessing a sacred weapon was powerful, Wuliu Zhengying became the public enemy of the entire Northern Frontier.
Imagining himself in Wuliu Zhengying’s shoes—hunted daily by true immortals from the Yuzhang Sect and eyed by countless who coveted the divine sword—Ling Xiao shivered at the thought.
He was genuinely grateful to Wang Li for pulling him out of that vortex.
Wang Li said, “There’s something I’ve been meaning to ask.”
Ling Xiao replied, “What would you like to know? I promise to tell all I know.”
“How are things between you and that inner sect female disciple?”
Wang Li was genuinely curious about what would happen to Ling Xiao after losing the protagonist’s script.
According to the script, Ling Xiao, as the child of destiny, was sure to win the beauty’s heart. But what would happen after giving up the Severing Cause Sword was uncertain.
