第五卷 天云十二州 第一千三百五十一章 前缘

"Master Lin, don't worry," Mo'er's concerned voice entered his ears. The young girl's face was filled with gentleness.

"Hmm."

Lin Xuan nodded. He didn’t believe that a miraculous blue star sea would be useless once it reached a certain level.

It must be some method he hadn’t mastered yet. So Lin Xuan again used Inner Vision, starting to carefully study the blue star sea. An hour passed. Two hours passed.

Lin Xuan's brows remained tightly furrowed. He had possessed the blue star sea for centuries and studied it countless times. If there were any secrets, they should have been discovered long ago. How could he possibly decipher this mechanism in a hurry?

Lin Xuan reopened his eyes.

"Master Lin, don't worry; we have plenty of time to research that." Mo'er took a few delicate steps forward, gently holding Lin Xuan's head in her arms. A beauty like her was indeed a comfort to him after nine lifetimes.

"Mo'er, there’s no need for you to worry about me. I've seen my fair share of storms and tempests. Back in Drifting Cloud Valley, we endured such difficult times; what does this little difficulty mean?" Lin Xuan said.

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Mo'er relaxed. She was genuinely worried that he might collapse under the pressure.

During the following time, Mo'er continued her cultivation without any support from pills. Her attempt to break through the separation stage without them clearly wasn't a wise choice.

Although Mo'er had good potential, it hadn’t reached such miraculous levels. After all, her fate was sealed, so for her, not relying on pills and forcefully breaking through the separation stage wouldn’t be as significant as it would be for someone like the Arhath King of the previous life.

For cultivators with a long lifespan, three months passed in a blink.

In the stone palace, Lin Xuan still sat cross-legged. He had made no progress in his study of the blue star sea.

Despite his composure, he couldn’t continue this way.

Soft footsteps entered his ears as Mo'er quietly approached him.

"Master Lin, shall I help you examine it?"

"Help me?" Lin Xuan showed surprise on his face.

"Yes, over three hundred years, Master Lin has become extremely familiar with the blue star sea. As they say, one can learn from others' stones to polish their own jade. Let me truly look at it; perhaps I can assist you," Mo'er said tenderly. Seeing him work so hard, she felt heartache.

This was true, and Lin Xuan nodded in approval. He wouldn’t hide anything from Mo'er. So he opened his chest, allowing her spiritual awareness to enter his dantian.

Beautiful star clouds filled Mo'er's vision as they slowly rotated. Of course, that was the blue star sea. Although she had heard of it before, seeing it with her own eyes was a different experience entirely.

"How beautiful."

Mo'er couldn't help covering her mouth in admiration. The sight truly resembled stars in the night sky.

Initially entranced by its beauty, Mo'er's expression gradually changed over time. First, she looked puzzled; then, confusion turned to blankness, and finally, anger and sorrow flashed across her face...

"Ah!"

The young girl suddenly cried out, clutching her head with both hands. Her beautiful face was filled with pain as her eyebrows furrowed tightly.

"Mo'er, what's wrong?"

Lin Xuan was alarmed. He never expected such a result. How could merely looking at the blue star sea cause such distress?

This situation was peculiar, but Lin Xuan didn’t care much in that moment. To him, eternal life or becoming an immortal were trivial compared to Mo'er. The beauty in his arms was what mattered most.

A spell was cast, and Lin Xuan used a technique to calm her mind. Gradually, the young girl's expression calmed down.

However, she still had some fearful avoidance in her gaze until she saw Lin Xuan clearly, then it gradually softened.

"Mo'er, don’t be afraid. Tell me what happened," Lin Xuan said calmly on the surface but was genuinely puzzled inside.

"I’m not sure either."

"What?"

"Master Lin, truly, I have no idea. You know my memories haven't fully returned, just—"

"Ti-oh?"

"That blue star sea seemed familiar to me." Mo'er glanced at Lin Xuan before lowering her gaze. The feeling was strange; seeing the blue star sea stirred a mix of emotions in her—a sweet and happy feeling, but also a desire to sever his head.

These feelings frightened Mo'er. How could she harm Master Lin?

Fortunately, that strange emotion was just fleeting and not very real. It must be an illusion, Mo'er consoled herself.

However, after hearing the young girl's account, Lin Xuan’s heart stirred with tumultuous emotions. His feelings were different; when Mo'er had formed her spirit embryo in their consciousness space, he had encountered a memory of the Arhath King. After performing a soul probing technique on her, she looked at him with an equally strange expression.

Now that Mo'er was acting this way again, could there be any real connection between the blue star sea and her past life?

Though puzzled, Lin Xuan quickly dismissed it. Thinking about it wouldn’t yield results; after all, he had few clues in his hands.

However, this unexpected little incident brightened his mood considerably. Mo'er’s previous life was the ruler of the underworld, a cultivator on par with true immortals. The blue star sea having any connection to her made it no ordinary treasure.

Purifying the hundred-herb pill wouldn’t be an issue; he just hadn't found the right method yet. He comforted Mo'er briefly before resuming his study of the blue star sea’s secrets. A month passed, two months passed.

Before long, a year had gone by. Lin Xuan spent most of his time in Inner Vision, studying the blue star sea. However, this thing was too mysterious. Despite his efforts, he made no progress.

Though Lin Xuan was a resilient person, such idle time was wasteful.

What should he do?

Deciding to put it aside for now, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged that morning. Today wasn’t for studying the blue star sea; instead, he took out an epigraphic scroll from his storage bag and showed nostalgia on his face. This item belonged to Ouyang Qinxin.

Lin Xuan played with it for a while before narrowing his eyes and sinking his spiritual awareness into it. "Little Luo Tian Method Form."

The words appeared in large characters, followed by a brief but ancient and obscure technique description. Lin Xuan carefully pondered each word and sentence.
