Chapter 1373: Chapter 1369: Reunion

His mind raced, searching for a glimmer of hope.

The Spirit Summoning Talisman deep in his mind suddenly lit up and activated.

Zhu Lingyun took two difficult steps forward, arriving before the distorted light and shadow in the Super Sense.

His left palm slowly and heavily lifted inch by inch to gently touch that twisted light and shadow.

He was instantly blocked by a layer of resilient force, smooth to the touch, resilient in texture, and impossible to push down.

He kept pressing forward stubbornly, but no matter what, he couldn’t move it.

Unwilling to give up, he continued pressing.

This obstruction was resilient and firm, dissipating all strength, much like a clay ox entering the sea.

No matter how he pressed, it was the same.

Although the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Talisman lit up, it had no effect since it couldn’t contact the other side.

His heart was full of helplessness.

This Cloud Stepping Leopard was extremely wary; even with such a large power gap, it was so cautious, not allowing him to get close.

The only solution now was to forcefully press forward; there was no other choice.

He activated his True Yuan, causing his robe to slowly bulge, with white steam quickly evaporating from the top of his head.

Jiao Hengtian widened his eyes.

He found it puzzling.

What is Junior Brother Zhuo doing?

He himself couldn’t move, yet Zhuo could move like this; he truly was a cut above.

He practiced the Descent Technique, yet his spiritual power was so pure—a remarkable exception indeed.

Practicing the Descent Technique would strengthen one’s spirit, but not to such purity.

It should be due to some fortuitous encounter.

He watched as the white steam on top of Zhu Lingyun’s head grew thicker, swirling a meter above without dispersing, forming a white cloud.

His robe ballooned, his eyes bursting with brilliance, and his face flushed as if drunk.

This was the appearance of True Yuan being pushed to its limit.

He shook his head secretly.

A pointless effort, under such vast and violent force, he couldn’t move, unable to struggle; even though Junior Brother Zhuo could struggle, it was of no use.

At Wanxiang Cliff, having such absolute power meant it was either a Spirit Venerable appearing or the Cloud Stepping Leopard.

He looked up at the sky.

Then he recalled Zhu Lingyun’s earlier actions, naturally thinking of the Cloud Stepping Leopard.

It’s the Cloud Stepping Leopard?!

Thinking this, he hurriedly wanted to speak but couldn’t open his mouth.

He could only anxiously look towards Zhu Lingyun.

Zhu Lingyun, however, did not concern himself with him, staring at the distorted light and shadow, he said with difficulty: ”Senior, do you have something to say to me?”

Jiao Hengtian shook his head secretly.

Junior Brother Zhuo must be confused, isn’t it him that wants to talk, not the Cloud Stepping Leopard?

Zhu Lingyun gritted his teeth, saying slowly and with difficulty: ”I...I can understand your words, senior.”

The resilient force before his hand suddenly dissipated, and his body lunged forward.

He touched feathers that were smooth like satin.

Electric light flickered across the feathers, and he was instantly paralyzed all over, unable to move.

As his body trembled, a soft, pleasant voice echoed in his mind: ”Little one, you understand my words? Haha, what a joke!”

This voice resounded in his mind, omnipresent in the world between heaven and earth, lingering without end.

It evoked a sense of vastness and expanse within him.

Zhu Lingyun was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected a female voice; was the Cloud Stepping Leopard actually a female?

In his mind, he said: ”Senior, this junior had a fortuitous encounter and acquired a skill to communicate with all spirits.”

”Oh? You really can hear me?”

”Yes.”

”Interesting, after all this time, there’s finally something fun.”

”Would senior please release Brother Jiao and me first?”

”Come with me!”

Zhu Lingyun floated up.

An invisible force carried him gently out of the small pavilion, flying diagonally upwards from the rockery, skimming over the small courtyard wall towards the distance.

The air in the small pavilion no longer solidifying, Jiao Hengtian suddenly felt his body loosen, instantly drenched in sweat.

Seeing Zhu Lingyun being taken away, he quickly leapt out to give chase.

Zhu Lingyun, in mid-air, turned his head and waved: ”Brother Jiao, I’ll be back soon, don’t worry.”

”Junior Brother Zhuo, where are you going?”

”To see what senior intends.”

”Which senior?” Jiao asked hastily.

Zhu Lingyun smiled: ”The Cloud Stepping Leopard senior, I am going to meet her.”

Jiao Hengtian’s forward momentum abruptly stopped, landing atop a treetop.

Zhu Lingyun waved from afar, suddenly accelerating, transforming into a streak of white light shooting towards the mountain peak.

Upon reaching the summit, without stopping, he continued upwards, shooting towards the Void atop the mountain, disappearing into it.

Jiao Hengtian was astonished.

He gazed upwards at the sky, but could no longer see Zhu Lingyun emerge.

Several figures floated down beside him.

”Brother Jiao, what happened, what’s going on with Junior Brother Zhuo?”

”Where did he fly to?”

”The flying looked rather strange, wasn’t it his own Qinggong?”

Jiao Hengtian glanced at them.

In their eyes he saw concern, curiosity, and even excitement.

He shook his head internally.

Zhuo Yifan seemed to also be a subject of envy, perhaps due to his fortuitous encounters.

He slowly said, ”The Cloud Stepping Leopard senior took him away.”

”The Cloud Stepping Leopard?”

Everyone was suddenly speechless.

They looked at each other, exchanging several glances, until finally someone broke the silence.

”Did Junior Brother Zhuo offend the Cloud Stepping Leopard?”

”Maybe we disturbed it while discussing.”

”Was there anything disrespectful in our words?”

”How could that be!”

”Then why...?”

”This is unknown.” Jiao Hengtian shook his head: ”How can we predict the Cloud Stepping Leopard’s actions? Let’s go back, he will be fine.”

”Even if something happens, we can’t help.”

”Junior Brother Zhuo has had very good luck lately, maybe it’s a good thing.”

”Yes, maybe it’s a good thing.”

Everyone agreed in succession.

They were also curious if Zhu Lingyun could turn ill fortune into good, and from difficult circumstances gain yet another fortuitous experience.

...

Chu Zhiyuan stood inside the Great Hall of the Heaven-Reaching Sect, letting out a long breath.

The Cloud Stepping Leopard didn’t seem hostile.

This was a great opportunity, an excellent chance.

He concentrated once more on Zhu Lingyun.

Zhu Lingyun found himself floating skyward, the distance to the white cloud growing ever closer.

The temperature was dropping.

The speed was also increasing.

Looking down, Wanxiang Cliff had turned into a small hill, the cluster of peaks like chess pieces, dense forests like verdant carpets.

The entire world lay before him, and his heart broadened.

He wondered even more where exactly the Cloud Stepping Leopard was taking him.

As he passed through the thick white cloud, the sunlight shone dazzlingly.

Before him was a white expanse, as if he’d arrived in the snowy mountain ranges.

His body suddenly came to a stop.

Immediately, his body relaxed, the binding disappeared.

He hastily moved around to find no hindrance in any direction except below, where a force was still holding him up.

He looked down again, the thick white cloud possessed faint gaps, through which he could see the scene below.

”Senior.” Zhu Lingyun asked curiously: ”This place is...?”

The light and shadow before him twisted, revealing the Cloud Stepping Leopard.

It walked effortlessly on the cloud as if it were solid ground, its gait relaxed and steady.

Leisurely, it approached him.

The overwhelming pressure made his breathing hitch.

At close distance, the Cloud Stepping Leopard’s power was more pronounced, more impactful.

It gently swayed its tail, placing it softly on his foot.

A voice immediately echoed in his mind: ”This is my dwelling place.”

Zhu Lingyun was taken aback: ”Here?”

”Is it not suitable?”

”...Isn’t it too simple? There’s nothing here.”

The Cloud Stepping Leopard said: ”There’s nothing else needed.”

Zhu Lingyun hesitated: ”Does reaching a certain level of power make lifespan long, and over the years, one becomes bored, lazy, and not wanting to do anything?”

The Cloud Stepping Leopard said: ”Not wanting to move yet feeling bored, having something lively to see would be best.”

Zhu Lingyun immediately understood: ”Senior watches our life at Wanxiang Cliff to pass the time?”

”Observing the nearby city as well.”

Zhu Lingyun had an epiphany: ”Senior stays here, too lazy to move, doesn’t want someone to damage Wanxiang Cliff, affecting your entertainment?”
