Chapter 2108 - 2109: Immortality

The Peach Blossom Fairy's cultivation technique is powerful, but it doesn't provide much practical combat functionality.

However, the aura of Immortal Qi she possesses and her reason for maintaining immortality may not be solely due to the Peach Blossom Secret Realm.

Even though time passes slowly within the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, over more than a thousand years of real-time, the Peach Blossom Fairy remains unchanged, certainly related to her cultivation technique.

Ling Zhenfei felt his injuries disappearing; his arms and legs, previously locked by the Eight-Part Lock Spirit Needle, were restored to normal, and his Northern Spiritual Energy was surging rapidly.

Especially growing not just in spiritual energy but also in his Life Force, which is simply too miraculous.

Ling Zhenfei had several dangerous moments because his Life Force was depleted. When using the Sky Splitting Ten Fists Fifth Strike before, his spiritual energy was exhausted, and afterwards, he relied on Life Force.

He almost died then, but fortunately, Lu Huanong saved him. Using the Sky-Splitting Ten Blades Seventh Blade this time, the formidable power was due to excessive Life Force consumption.

Now, Ling Zhenfei feels both his spiritual energy and his Life Force growing.

No one knew how much time had passed before Ling Zhenfei felt the surge of spiritual energy finally slowing down and gradually coming to a halt.

This Peach Blossom Secret Realm finally returned to normal, as if everything was anew.

The world was renewed by the recent rainfall, seemingly transformed into a new world.

Suddenly, Ling Zhenfei sensed a very unique aura from outside, asked the Peach Blossom Fairy to rest in bed, dressed, and walked out.

On stepping out, he saw countless butterflies dancing in the Peach Blossom Forest.

As Ling Zhenfei stepped out, butterflies danced around him, invigorating his spirit because he found his vision greatly improved.

He could even see the flight paths of the butterflies, as if intentionally crafted in an unusual pattern.

Ling Zhenfei watched the butterflies flying through the Peach Blossom Forest, marveling as they did not touch a single flower petal.

A subtle feeling stirred in Ling Zhenfei's heart as if something came to mind.

The entire Peach Blossom Secret Realm was created by the Star Lord, so the butterflies were naturally made by him too; their flight paths likely designed by him.

The Star Lord was the older brother of this space and the Peach Blossom Fairy's fiancé—making him her husband, and thus, her brother-in-law created this Peach Flowers Secret Realm.

Everything here was prepared by the Star Lord for himself and the Peach Blossom Fairy.

Yet the Star Lord did not return for over a thousand years due to his battle with the Demon King.

Upon leaving the room, butterflies encircled the Star Lord and Peach Blossom Fairy, presumably predesignated by him.

The Peach Blossom Secret Realm transforms once the Star Lord and Peach Blossom Fairy join together.

But for tens of thousands of years, this change scarcely appeared until Ling Zhenfei and the Peach Blossom Fairy joined together, activating the mechanism designed by the Star Lord a millennium ago.

Yet, the Star Lord lacked experience, as the Peach Blossom Fairy had trouble getting out of bed post-encounter, leaving scant time to appreciate the butterfly dance.

The butterflies' flight paths, crafted by the Star Lord, were naturally intricate, possibly modeled after a step technique or cultivation technique of his own creation.

Ling Zhenfei memorized the butterflies' flight paths.

His current step technique was the Blooming Step Technique, designed to enhance movement speed and conserve spiritual energy, albeit lacking in combat.

The exhibition by butterflies, traversing unharmed through the Peach Blossom Forest, stirred a faint familiarity.

Mastering such a step technique would allow him to evade opponents, no matter how numerous.

Ling Zhenfei recorded the butterflies' paths and incorporated them into his Blooming Step Technique.

After several attempts, Ling Zhenfei astonishingly succeeded.

Knowing only the Star Lord and Peach Blossom Fairy resided within the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, the Star Lord had left their flight path plainly visible, as there was no need for defensive measures.

Ling Zhenfei merely emulated the pattern and succeeded, causing him great surprise and delight.

After practicing skillfully in the Peach Blossom Forest, he named the technique Butterfly Through Flowers Step Technique.

For this technique was initially employed during the butterflies' passage through the Peach Blossom Forest.

Ling Zhenfei felt joyful, testing his spiritual energy and sensing substantial growth compared to before, incomparable.

Drawing his Tang sword, Ling Zhenfei used the Butterfly Through Flowers Step Technique, practicing his Boundless Blade Technique.

The combination of Boundless Blade Technique and Butterfly Through Flowers Step Technique astounded Ling Zhenfei, evoking intense excitement.

Seated cross-legged in the Peach Flower Forest, Ling Zhenfei continued cultivation. Unaware of time's passage, he suddenly felt something draped over his shoulders—a cloak.

Pausing his practice, he turned to see the Peach Blossom Fairy standing behind him, gazing lovingly at Ling Zhenfei.

Now, their relationship was no longer concealed. Previously, the Peach Blossom Fairy would shyly avoid Ling Zhenfei's gaze.

Things had changed; their mutual exchange of glances became perfectly natural.

"My beloved, it's chilly after the rain outside. Perhaps you should cultivate indoors," she suggested.

Ling Zhenfei stood up, saying, "I wouldn't want to disturb you. How are you feeling?"

The Peach Blossom Fairy answered, "I've improved significantly. You look fully recovered mentally."

Ling Zhenfei replied, "My lady is my Spiritual Medicine, not only healing me but even advancing beyond recovery."

The Peach Blossom Fairy responded, "That's good; I didn't anticipate this occurrence. But you've been here for days; do you intend to leave soon?"

Ling Zhenfei was startled, saying, "I almost forgot about the time. Indeed, I need to return as urgent affairs await me."

Ling Zhenfei bid farewell to the Peach Blossom Fairy and went toward the river.

Ling Zhenfei had transformed since his last visit. Not yet at the Pursue Heart State then, he now soared across the river.

Preparing for battle, Ling Zhenfei soon found the river remarkably calm.

While flying past the riverbank, he saw something glowing beneath the river's surface.
