Chapter 524: Chapter 520: Sitting with the Green Lamp for Ages (First Update!)

Is this my destiny now?

Wang Yiluo felt somewhat dazed by Lin Tian’s words.

Initially, Song Pashila had forcibly captured her and implanted a Gu Worm inside her body.

At that time, the worm was still a larva, yet it caused her inhuman pain.

She believed she was going to die.

However, after enduring the pain of the worm’s implantation, she was subjected to even more terrifying torment; she became a host for the Gu Worm!

Song Pashila told her, either cultivate the Gu Worm well to find a trace of vitality, or be consumed as its nutrient.

Later, the opponent’s godlike methods instilled deep reverence and fear in her, convincing her that being accompanied by the worm was her fate in this life.

But now, she was free!

Lin Tian had slain Song Pashila, the person she had revered like a heavenly god, with a single sword strike!

"Lin Tian, thank you!"

Gratitude filled Wang Yiluo’s face, but soon a hint of awkwardness appeared, "Um... had you discovered the Gu Worm inside my body a while ago? Then you didn’t fall for me, but came to save me?"

"In the path of Cultivation, if possible, let’s not dwell on romantic affections,"

Lin Tian paused slightly, then let out a light sigh.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yiluo’s pretty face dimmed.

Feeling the strong hand of Lin Tian half-hugging her slender waist, a deep sense of loss filled her heart.

Only now did she understand, from the initial fluttering of her heart to falling in love, it was all her unilateral wish and persistence.

Lin Tian did not fall for her, but for the Gu Worm inside her!

However, Wang Yiluo’s face soon showed a bright smile again.

"Lin Tian, you are too incredible. It’s hard to imagine, the once timid and shy desk mate in elementary school, has now become a Cultivator who can fly to the sky and escape the ground!"

Wang Yiluo’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she stared excitedly at Lin Tian’s profile and said, "You just mentioned the Immortal True Martial Skill, which is much more powerful than the Curse Technique. I’ve only seen that sword strike; can you show me the other spells?"

Seeing Wang Yiluo’s excited and anticipatory expression, Lin Tian nodded indifferently.

Soon, he brought Wang Yiluo to the peak of a mountain in Youlan Valley.

"I’ll show you the Fire Bomb Technique, one of the simplest spells!"

Lin Tian could see the longing in Wang Yiluo’s eyes; since she knew his identity now, he might as well indulge her.

Whoosh~

A flame suddenly appeared from the palm of Lin Tian’s hand, then soared out, striking a low vine not far ahead.

With a loud bang, the vine exploded into ashes.

On the ground, only charred earth and wisps of smoke were left.

"So powerful!"

Wang Yiluo’s eyes dazzled with excitement, and she couldn’t help but exclaim, visibly thrilled.

Seeing Wang Yiluo smile like a simple girl, wildly excited, Lin Tian smiled slightly and then performed the Entanglement Technique, Earth Wall Skill, Ice Arrow Skill, Wind Blade Technique, and other spells.

These spells were all basic magic in the Cultivation World.

As long as one can cultivate to the Qi Refining First Level through the third layer, they can basically cast it.

Compared to combat skills, spells are easier to handle.

After all, spells do not require the control of True Qi, you just need to stimulate the True Qi to cast them.

But combat skills are just the opposite.

The execution of combat skills demands more advanced control of True Qi, and compared to spells, most combat skills involve close combat attacks or defense, and are mostly abandoned by many cultivators.

However, when combat skills are cultivated to a profound level, they are incomparable to long-range spells, and their power increases significantly as one progresses.

At a certain grade of combat techniques, it generally involves a combination of spells and combat skills, capable of both offense and defense at any range.

Yet, even the simplest spell, in the eyes of Wang Yiluo, had already appeared as magnificent as the Immortal Law, astonishing as Divine Arts!

"Is this the spell of a cultivator? It’s much more powerful than the ones cast by Song Pashila!"

Wang Yiluo, with bright shining eyes, marvelled at Lin Tian performing one basic spell after another. When Lin Tian stopped, she asked curiously, "Lin Tian, where is the sword you used to slay Song Pashila? Where did it go!"

Previously, in the valley, with a single strike, Wang Yiluo was so bewildered she had not noticed Lin Tian storing away the Evil like Xiaotian.

"Right here!"

Lin Tian didn’t hide it, and he shook his wrist towards the girl. Then, a string of beads on his wrist whirled upward, transforming into a flying sword that fiercely slashed toward a giant stone at the bottom of the mountain.

With a thunderous boom, the stone, as big as a house, instantly shattered into pieces, scattering countless fragments halfway up the mountain.

From thousands of meters away, the massive rock split into pieces, leaving Wang Yiluo dumbstruck.

"This... this is more terrifying than a shell! And to be able to command that flying sword at will, and for it to transform into other things..."

Wang Yiluo stared at the swiftly returning flying sword, exclaiming continuously.

Compared to Song Pashila, Lin Tian gave Wang Yiluo an impression of being more powerful, mysterious, and seemingly omnipotent.

"Okay, that should satisfy you. You’ve seen everything there is to see!"

Lin Tian retrieved Evil like Xiaotian, smiled faintly, then turned serious and said solemnly, "You’ve regained your freedom. Without the Gu worm, you’ve become an ordinary person again. Now, if you wish to go home, then go. However, it would be best if you forget everything you’ve seen before!"

Go home?

Wang Yiluo trembled slightly, pursed her lips, then lifted her head with a complex expression, her beautiful eyes full of confusion, "Does that mean I might never see you again?"

"Perhaps! The paths of immortals and mortals are inherently different destinies!"

Lin Tian sighed deeply and replied.

Hearing this, Wang Yiluo looked panic-stricken, slowly lowering her head.

But then, she suddenly looked up, her words carrying a longing as if she mustered great courage, "Can... can I follow you and cultivate immortality?"

"You want to cultivate immortality?"

Lin Tian was taken aback. He thought after experiencing everything, including the torment of the Gu worm, she would be fearful, wanting to stay away from all this, but unexpectedly Wang Yiluo wanted to pursue cultivation. He couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Do you think my abilities came out of nowhere? It’s obtained through trials of life and death, unimaginable hardships. The path of cultivation is perilous, a single misstep could lead to your soul scattering!"

"I... I’m not afraid!"

Wang Yiluo’s face showed resolve, and she nodded vigorously, "Let me follow you in cultivation!"

"The path of cultivation sees many instances where time flies like the changing landscapes. Often it’s just a green lamp for company, oneself sitting alone through centuries, millennia, eons! Sitting through eons with only a green lamp isn’t something everyone can endure!"

As if recalling his past lives, Lin Tian sighed, then continued, "But if you’ve made your decision, I can help you. However, I can’t let you cultivate with me. I can impart a set of combat techniques to you, including those basic spells."

"I’m not afraid of solitude, I can endure it, I’m not afraid of death! After experiencing the Gu worm, I can face any greater difficulties!"

Wang Yiluo clenched her fists, her pretty face full of determination, "Even if I cannot follow you in cultivation, just to be able to chase your steps, I am willing to strive!"
