Chapter 1029: Master Lian Appeared (Part 4)

Master Lian nodded slightly. "There are things you’re not ready to know yet. Learning them too early would do you no good. What you saw inside is all you were meant to see."

"That’s exactly why I hate these self-important immortals," Kenny Lin interjected.

Master Lian wasn’t angered, only smiling faintly. "Once you reach their level, you too may become the type of person you despise. For now, you are not at that stage, so you cannot understand."

This time, Kenny Lin didn’t respond. He knew this to be true.

Amalia, observing quietly, understood his thoughts. She wasn’t pondering deeply—just speaking flippantly as usual.

"Master Lian, do you know what that Immortal River I saw actually is?" she asked.

Master Lian paused for a moment. "If I am not mistaken, it is the Immortal River mentioned in ancient texts. For cultivators of Mystic Void Continent to ascend, it is said they must undergo the baptism of the Immortal River, which transforms their spiritual energy into immortal energy and allowing them to truly ascend."

"No wonder I saw so many people walking out of the river," Amalia murmured, finally understanding.

"So, the collapse of the Immortal River is the reason why Master has been trapped in Mystic Void Continent, unable to ascend?" Kenny Lin mused, stroking his chin.

Master Lian nodded. "That’s correct."

Amalia asked thoughtfully, "If you and my master wish to ascend one day and break free from the shackles of mortality, must the Immortal River be restored?"

"The Immortal River is an embodiment of the Heavenly Dao. Its restoration is beyond our power," Master Lian replied. He had already formed a plan but chose to change the topic. "What did you see on the Path of Yin and Yang?"

Kenny Lin narrowed his eyes. "I saw an ancient figure holding a strange pearl that seemed to revive plants and trees. Master, do you know what that pearl is?"

Master Lian’s expression shifted slightly. "Was the pearl black and white?"

Kenny Lin nodded. "Yes, it was black and white, resembling a yin-yang symbol. I’ve been calling it the Yin-Yang Pearl."

"That name isn’t incorrect, but its true name is the Reincarnation Pearl. According to legend, this supreme treasure disappeared in ancient times. Even the immortals do not know its whereabouts."

"How do you know the immortals don’t know? Does that mean Mystic Void Continent and the Immortal Realm were once connected?" Kenny Lin asked, smiling slyly.

Master Lian pondered briefly. "Since it has come to this, I may as well tell you. While immortals cannot leave the Immortal Realm at will, they can communicate through certain mediums. Back then, some of the most prominent figures in the Immortal Realm were elders who ascended from the Green Lotus Sect. The sect’s continued existence today is partly due to their protection when the Immortal Realm was still intact."

"No wonder those insufferable people from the Eternal One Sect have managed to endure until now," Kenny Lin muttered, clearly holding grudges. Every grievance he had was meticulously recorded in his mind, waiting to be settled someday.

"For now, avoid contact with the Eternal One Sect," Master Lian said, his tone firm, unwilling to elaborate further.

"I’m not afraid of them," Kenny Lin retorted. "Master, you seem to know something. Care to share?"

"You’ll learn in due time," he replied calmly.

Kenny Lin sighed. "Master, you’ve gotten craftier."

Master Lian chuckled. "Even I am capable of growth," he said, rare humor gracing his voice.

"Master Lian, does the Reincarnation Pearl have any specific effects?" Amalia asked, steering the conversation back on track. She wanted to know if the pearl would have any adverse effects on Kenny Lin.

But she was destined to be disappointed. Even in the era when the Immortal Realm existed, the nature of the Reincarnation Pearl remained a mystery, and now, there was barely any record of it in Mystic Void Continent.

"The only thing known is that the Reincarnation Pearl has the power to bring the dead back to life. However, reviving the dead goes against the natural order and must come at a cost. Such treasures are not always blessings," Master Lian said, hus tone indifferent. Whether he had guessed something or was merely speaking casually, his thoughts remained unreadable.

"If you have any other questions, ask them now. I will tell you what I can."

"You might as well say nothing," Kenny Lin grumbled.

Amalia elbowed him gently. "Be considerate of your Master."

Master Lian smiled, unperturbed. "Aside from the Paths of Yin and Yang and Chaos, what else did you discover? Tell me everything."

"There was an old lady guarding a graveyard. She had me comprehend the Path of Chaos there before letting me leave. She disappeared afterward without telling me her name," Amalia recounted.

Master Lian did not press further. "Did you encounter anyone in the Immortal Palace aside from wandering spiritss?"

Kenny Lin suddenly produced an object and tossed it over. "Why don’t you ask this directly? It might be faster."

Master Lian caught the transparent bottle, peering inside. A tiny wandering spirit was curled up within, its innocent face pressed against the glass as it gazed pitifully at them.

"Why did you bring a wandering spirit from the Immortal Palace?"

"It insisted on following me. It even brought this bottle on its own," Kenny Lin replied with a shrug.

"The Immortal Palace contains many treasures. This appears to be the Spirit Gathering Gourd. Without it, the wandering spirits wouldn’t have been able to leave the palace. If you filled it with immortal spring water, it can nourish wandering spirits. I didn’t expect such a weak soul to obtain it."

"Can wandering spirits capable of acquiring the Spirit Gathering Gourd truly be weak?" Kenny Lin never believed the little spirit was as feeble as it appeared.

"It seems this wandering spirit’s soul has reassembled after being shattered. It might have been a powerful figure in the Immortal Palace, losing its strength and memories in the process of rebirth," Master Lian said, handing the Spirit Gathering Gourd back to Kenny Lin.
