Chapter 1275: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Continued

Chapter 1275: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Continued… From within the blue glow, the middle-aged man walked over. His gaze did not even spare Wang Lin a glance; he only looked at Li Qianmei, whom Wang Lin held in his arms, his expression revealing affection and heartache.

The instant his voice appeared, Wang Lin's mind trembled. He abruptly looked up and immediately saw the middle-aged man wearing blue robes. The moment he saw this man, Wang Lin's mind roared.

This man’s appearance was extremely similar to Li Qianmei’s; it was clear at a glance that they were blood relatives!

"Daoist Blue Dream!" Wang Lin stared at the middle-aged man. He also recognized the other party's voice—that voice had nearly brought disaster upon him back in the Seven-Colored Realm!

He would never forget it!

The affairs of the world are sometimes unpredictable. No one could have imagined that the indirect battle between the two of them in the Seven-Colored Realm more than ten years ago would lead to their true meeting here, in the Primordial Stars, just over a decade later.

The middle-aged man looked at Li Qianmei, the heartache in his eyes deepening. He flicked his large sleeve, and immediately, a storm burst forth, heading straight for Wang Lin. It was incredibly fast, instantly approaching and explosively detonating.

A great force spread out, directly enveloping Li Qianmei and lifting her gently from Wang Lin’s arms, sending her toward the middle-aged man. Holding Li Qianmei, the man’s heartache was mixed with fatherly love.

He turned around, embraced Li Qianmei, and walked away into the distance. Blue lights gathered around him from all directions, and his figure vanished into the Starry Sky. From beginning to end, he never looked at Wang Lin once!

Wang Lin was impacted by the storm, taking several steps back before abruptly stopping. He looked with a complex expression toward the direction where Daoist Blue Dream had disappeared, and fell silent.

He could almost certainly conclude that there was a familial bond between Daoist Blue Dream and Li Qianmei. Since Daoist Blue Dream took Li Qianmei away, he must have a way to wake her up.

According to his previous plan, he should have left now, departing from the Blue Silk Clan and this Star Domain. However, after falling silent, Wang Lin chose not to leave immediately. He wanted to confirm whether Li Qianmei would truly awaken.

In his silence, Wang Lin’s body flashed forward, turning into a long arc that sped toward the front, gradually entering the area of the Blue Silk Clan's Cultivation Planets. Without needing to spread his Divine Sense, he could clearly see that in the endless Sea of Stars, one Cultivation Planet emitted a blue light that enveloped the Starry Sky—that was the location of Daoist Blue Dream.

This Cultivation Planet was permeated by blue light, and even the interior of the Cultivation Planet was entirely blue, seemingly covered by an ocean. Wang Lin’s figure shifted, stepping into this blue Cultivation Planet.

There was no protective Formation whatsoever. Wang Lin stood in mid-air above the Cultivation Planet. Below him was an ocean, and the sound of crashing waves slowly drifted up.

On the surface of the sea, there were also some boats. The faint sound of music was carried by the wind and entered Wang Lin’s ears. The music was full of joy and lingered continuously.

After a long while, Wang Lin stepped forward through the Void Realm, tearing through the sky and vanishing without a trace. When he reappeared, he was at the foot of a Blue Mountain Peak.

Mountains surrounded the area, and forests were everywhere, but compared to that Blue Mountain Peak, they seemed dwarfed. The mountain Peak was not inherently blue; rather, it was surrounded by endless blue light emanating from within, making it appear like the Blue Mountain!

Looking at this Blue Mountain Peak, Wang Lin’s eyes held a complex expression. After a long time, he sighed internally, his body flashing like a long rainbow piercing the sky, heading straight for the Blue Mountain. But the instant he approached, his expression changed, and his body halted in mid-air, less than a thousand zhang away from the Blue Mountain!

The blue light emanating from the mountain, upon entering his body, immediately transformed into infinite resistance, preventing anyone from approaching!

"What a powerful Restriction Formation!" Wang Lin stared at the Blue Mountain. With his Restriction cultivation, he could naturally tell at a glance that this was not man-made, but caused by the blue light within the Blue Mountain.

After a long silence, Wang Lin's eyes flashed. His Primordial Power circulated throughout his body, Ancient God Power spread out, and his figure transformed into a meteor, rushing forward with a roaring sound, entering the blue light!

As he continued to rush in, the resistance grew stronger and stronger, eventually becoming like a wall of bronze and iron, letting out loud rumbling sounds as Wang Lin approached.

The moment his feet touched the base of the Blue Mountain, the resistance was overwhelming, causing loud thumping sounds to emanate from Wang Lin's entire body.

But none of this could stop Wang Lin's steps. He looked up at the distant mountain Peak, shrouded in mist and blue light, his gaze showing determination. He took a step and walked toward the Peak.

The Blue Mountain towered into the clouds, its summit invisible at a glance, but a winding flight of steps extended down from the Peak. Wang Lin stepped onto the stairs, moving upward step by step.

His speed was extremely fast, without any pause. He climbed the steps, his Primordial Power circulating rapidly, fiercely confronting the resistance. Throughout the journey, rumbling sounds echoed within his body, yet through his perseverance, he directly completed nearly thirty percent of the steps!

But at this moment, the resistance coming from the mountain Peak was earth-shattering, as if a Cultivation Planet were pressing down, preventing Wang Lin from advancing. Every step he took required him to endure endless pressure and resistance, and even more astonishingly, the higher he went, the resistance violently doubled!

Time flowed slowly. At the summit of the Blue Mountain, inside the ordinary dwelling, Li Qianmei sat cross-legged, her eyes tightly closed, her entire body flickering with blue light. Her father, Daoist Blue Dream, was behind her, occasionally pointing into the Void Realm while performing Hand Seals.

Every time his finger fell, Li Qianmei's body would tremble, and a stream of black qi would dissipate from her seven orifices, disappearing inside the dwelling.

Outside the dwelling, waves of flute music echoed. It was the Pink-Robed Woman sitting on a blue stone, gently playing a flute. The flute music conveyed complex emotions, reverberating between heaven and earth, entering the dwelling and reaching Wang Lin, who was climbing the mountain below.

When the flute music reached his ears, Wang Lin had already completed nearly fifty percent of the steps. His expression showed exhaustion, and his eyes were bloodshot. The resistance transmitted from the mountain Peak was now indescribable, as if several Cultivation Planets had descended simultaneously, pressing down on Wang Lin, making every step extremely difficult!

The Ancient God Power circulated simultaneously with his Primordial Power within his body, transforming into waves of potent strength that erupted from him, causing his eyes to flash with brilliance. He lifted his foot once more, continuing to climb the mountain Peak!

Thumping sounds emanated from his body, and large amounts of sweat poured down. The sweat even contained traces of blood, a result of his blood rapidly circulating and bursting forth under the pressure of the resistance.

Gradually, his Primordial Power circulated to its limit. With every breath, dense Heaven and Earth Power surged in and rushed into his body. Furthermore, as time passed, his Ancient God Power also reached its Peak circulation.

These two forces supported him, bringing him closer and closer to the mountain Peak!

After three days, Wang Lin completed nearly eighty percent of the steps. Where he stood now, he could look up and see the end of the stairs above. However, his current expression was extremely fatigued, his body thrumming like a drum, permeated by endless pressure, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

Vaguely, it was as if he had returned to the time before he began cultivating the Dao, undergoing the entrance test at the Heng Yue Sect gate. The immense resistance felt as if the entire world were pressing down, trying to crush him alive!

What was even more terrifying was that as he continuously climbed, resistance not only descended from above, but also appeared beneath his feet. This forced him to dedicate half of his strength just to maintain his footing; otherwise, if he relaxed even slightly, the resistance from below would instantly blast him far away.

Under this dual resistance, Wang Lin's face was pale, and his clothes were soaked with sweat, yet his expression remained resolute. He had to reach the summit of the mountain Peak to see if Li Qianmei had awakened!

After seeing her, he would leave, but until he saw her, not even heaven collapsing and earth splitting could stop his steps!

"I brought Li Qianmei here, I must see this through to the end!" Wang Lin gritted his teeth, tasting blood in his mouth, and took another step upward.

The closer he got, the more unimaginable the resistance and pressure became. After spitting out several mouthfuls of blood and having the blood vessels all over his body nearly burst open, Wang Lin completed ninety percent of the steps!

At the mountain Peak summit, inside the dwelling, Daoist Blue Dream opened his eyes. The last trace of black qi dispersed from Li Qianmei's seven orifices. Her entire body was permeated by blue light, and her withered face rapidly recovered. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

The door to the dwelling was pushed open, and the Pink-Robed Woman walked in. Her gaze swept over Li Qianmei, and she momentarily seemed distracted. After a long while, she softly said, "He is almost up here… shouldn't we…"

"Yue'er, you go… Tell him your name…" Daoist Blue Dream lowered his head, looked at the Ancient Zither beside him, gently stroked it, and spoke softly.

Li Qianmei nodded, gently stood up, a trace of confusion in her eyes. She walked out of the dwelling and immediately saw the rising sun in the distance, deepening the confusion in her eyes.

Under that endless resistance, Wang Lin took the final step, ascended the mountain Peak, crossed the last stair, and stood at the summit of the mountain!

Here, the resistance suddenly surged, transforming into a silent roar that pressed down fiercely upon him. But his body remained motionless. The instant he stepped onto the Peak, he saw Li Qianmei—he saw the woman gazing at the rising sun in the distance. The mountain wind blew, causing the woman's clothes to flutter, making her look like a Fairy.

At this moment, the woman also turned her head and looked at Wang Lin.

Their gazes converged in that instant. A smile appeared on Wang Lin’s face: Li Qianmei had awakened!

"Father told me to tell you my name. I am called Lan Yue. Who are you?"

Wang Lin froze for a moment, staring into Li Qianmei's eyes. After a long while, a bitter expression appeared on his face, and he softly said, "My name is Wang Lin…" As he spoke, he released his resistance to the pressure coming from all directions. The instant he let go, the resistance violently pressed down, instantly throwing his body away and sending him speeding into the distance.

The distance between him and the woman at the summit was infinitely stretched in that instant. Even his gaze was gradually obstructed by space, and he could no longer see clearly.

"To forget each other in the Jianghu, that's fine… that's fine too…" Wang Lin's emotions were complex, indescribable, and unclear. As he was thrown out, he turned and walked toward the distance.

The confusion in Lan Yue's eyes deepened. She faintly felt a sharp pain in her heart, a sense of suffocation. Vaguely, it was as if everything before her became the surface of the water, and she was underwater, watching a flying bird in the sky grow farther and farther away.

"Father, why did I have a feeling of extreme familiarity when I saw him, as if he was originally in my memory… very important, very important…" Lan Yue did not turn around, speaking softly.

"The farthest distance in this world is not the ends of the earth, nor is it separation by Yin and Yang; it is forgetting… It was a wrong emotion that occurred at the wrong time and the wrong place. The very beginning was wrong… If, after forgetting, the two of you can still have a beginning, your father will absolutely not stop you again… Even if he is chosen by the Ancient Immortal Realm, your father dares to fight the Immortal Realm for you!" Daoist Blue Dream did not answer Li Qianmei's words; instead, he closed his eyes and stroked the Ancient Zither.

"The farthest distance… is forgetting… Meng'er, when will you remember me…"
