The Legend of the Young Swordsman: A Prequel - A Phantom Melody Embarks on a Journey Through the Mar

Just as Nangong Chunshui was preparing to travel in spirit to Fanghu Immortal Mountain, another event occurred on Fanghu Immortal Mountain a few days earlier.

a few days ago

As Su Baiyi sensed the fluctuations of true energy within Helian Yunshen's temporary residence, he couldn't help but sigh with admiration, saying, "Truly, talent emerges in every generation of martial arts practitioners! This generation of juniors is indeed remarkable, having already reached a level of cultivation that I haven't achieved in a hundred years at such a young age!"

"Ancestor, is this junior from the south about to break through?" A man in his thirties following Su Baiyi, sensing the changes in the house, couldn't help but ask his ancestor. Su Baiyi nodded in response to the junior's question, but remained silent.

The fluctuations of true energy lasted for a full half hour before the situation inside finally stabilized. The door opened and Helian Yun Shen, who had already broken through to the Earth Immortal realm, stepped out.

Feeling the powerful true energy within his body at this moment, Helian Yun Shen's face was full of smiles.

Looking at Helian Yunshen, who had already broken through to the Earth Immortal realm, Su Baiyi recalled what Helian Yunshen had said to him before, and said with a worried expression, "Brother Helian, are you really planning to go to a place further north? It's very dangerous there."

“Brother Su, please don’t try to persuade me. My mind is made up. Besides gaining a better understanding of the world, we also need to find ways to bring more useful information to our side. This way, we can better seize the initiative when facing the enemy’s attack and avoid being passively attacked.”

Helian Yunshen responded to Su Baiyi's concerns and advice with a smile. His voice remained firm and resolute as he replied to Su Baiyi, who, upon hearing this, knew not to continue trying to persuade him.

Looking at Helian Yun Shen, he said, "Shall we rest here for a few days before setting off again?"

"Then I'll set off tomorrow!" After thinking about it, I realized that I had just broken through to the next level and it wouldn't be good to continue traveling like this, so I decided to stay and consolidate my progress for a day before setting off again tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, Su Baiyi arranged for people to prepare some things to make Helian Yunshen's journey safer.

The day passed quickly.

"Yun Shen, take all of these with you. You might need them over there."

Su Baiyi handed a package to Helian Yunshen, speaking earnestly with eyes full of reluctance to part with this talented and congenial junior.

Helian Yun Shen nodded in acceptance as he took the items from Su Baiyi. He then bid Su Baiyi farewell, saying, "Brother Su, wait here for my good news!"

"Please be careful on your journey!"

Unable to persuade him otherwise, Su Baiyi could only urge Helian Yunshen to be careful. Receiving this blessing, Helian Yunshen smiled sincerely.

Then, carrying the bundle, he unleashed the power of a terrestrial immortal, moving as lightly as a swallow and as swift as the wind towards the north. Under Su Baiyi's watchful gaze, he gradually disappeared from sight.

"Ancestor, this young hero Helian has disappeared without a trace."

"Let's go back!"

Upon hearing the Su family's reminder, Su Baiyi calmly replied.

Then he turned around and returned to Fanghu Immortal Mountain.

…………

A few days after Helian Yun Shen left, Nangong Chun Shui, at Yue Yao's request, traveled to Fanghu Immortal Mountain in spirit.

"Am I too late?"

Nangong Chunshui, who had rushed over from his reverie, heard what his master had told him and said with regret and helplessness in his eyes. Su Baiyi looked at his disciple's expression and words and nodded, saying, "You are indeed a step too late. If you had come a little earlier in the morning, you would have met Yun Shen."

"It's all about timing and fate!"

Hearing her master say this again, Nangong Chunshui could only lament the bumpy road and constant obstacles in their relationship! At the same time, she also sighed at the cruel twists of fate. They were just one step away from being together, but that one step was wrong, and she made too many mistakes.

"What are you doing sighing and complaining here all the time?"

"I'm lamenting Yun Shen's bumpy road in love! He was just one step away from clearing up the misunderstanding and reuniting with his lover, but this is the result."

After saying this, Nangong Chunshui briefly described the situation to Su Baiyi. Hearing this, Su Baiyi couldn't help but sigh, "Truly, one wrong step leads to another!"

"Who says it isn't?"

The master and disciple were reflecting on this, and as for chasing after Helian Yun Shen, they only thought about it briefly before putting it aside.

Even with his Earth Immortal realm strength, it would take him several days to catch up. Moreover, Su Baiyi, burdened with the responsibility of guarding Fanghu Immortal Mountain, was even less likely to pursue him. Nangong Chunshui was simply too weak at the moment.

"Your strength is still the same as before, I've already told you. Focus on your cultivation, stop practicing your so-called Great Spring Technique."

Feeling that his disciple had been hovering at the Human Immortal realm for years, Su Baiyi couldn't help but advise his disciple not to cultivate the self-created Great Chun Technique.

"It's not that easy to ruin it! Back then, we were full of vigor and thought it was great, but who would have thought that more than a hundred years would pass and we would witness so many joys and sorrows?"

I'm numb and no longer want to change.

Faced with his master's persuasion, Nangong Chunshui sighed.

In my youth, I was full of vigor and thought this was wonderful; even if I lacked the strength, I could still live forever. As I grew older, I regretted it, but having witnessed too much, I became numb and no longer wanted to change the outcome.

Being cheerful and carefree is just a way to mask numbness.

"Are you planning to continue like this?" Hearing his disciple's words, Su Baiyi no longer showed his previous demeanor. Instead, he felt sorry for his disciple and asked him this question.

Hearing Su Baiyi's heartache, Nangong Chunshui thought of Luoshui in Snow Moon City and couldn't help but smile: "No, I've already decided to make a change because I've met someone again, someone who has enabled me to take this step."

"That's good." Seeing this, Su Baiyi was very pleased and simply said three words before falling silent.

…………

After chatting with his master for a long time, Nangong Chunshui returned to Xueyue City in the mainland.

"Master (Senior Nangong), have you seen Brother Helian (Yun Shen)?"

After seeing Nangong Chunshui open his eyes from his reverie, Dongjun and Yueyao almost simultaneously asked him a question. Hearing their question, Nangong Chunshui looked at Yueyao and sighed, "..."

"It's all about timing and fate! Yun Shen went to a place further north, and I didn't make it. Besides, my situation doesn't allow me to go looking for him, so I'm sorry."

Upon hearing this, despair filled Yueyao's eyes. Tears streamed down her face, and she collapsed to the ground. Disregarding her image, she burst into loud sobs!

The sound was so sorrowful, so heartbreaking!
