Chapter 717: Chapter 308: All Good Things Must Come to an End

The “Black Dragon Armor” of the Talisman Treasure has the same effect.

But when activated, what is summoned is a ferocious black dragon.

After understanding the effect, Ji Yuan paid no further attention to it and shifted his Divine Sense to the Jade Scroll in his hand.

As a list of names entered his mind, Ji Yuan became aware of all the personnel involved in the Water Dragon Sect’s relocation this time.

From the Nascent Soul Patriarch of the Water Dragon Sect to… a young boy at the third level of Qi Cultivation. According to the information on the list, he was the legitimate son of an anonymous Elder of the Water Dragon Sect.

For this relocation, the Water Dragon Sect allocated two spots to each Golden Core Zhenren, and how they used them was their own business. So it was inevitable for some to give these spots to their own children.

Ji Yuan looked through each one.

There was Master Xuan Shui, Cloud Abyss Zhenren, Hunting Owl Zhenren, Master Duocai, and these Golden Core Zhenrens were a given, along with Rou Yi, Xiao Chengyi, Phoenix Peach, these Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Most of the people on the list were known to Ji Yuan.

After all, while there were many Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Water Dragon Sect, there were only a few Golden Core Disciples, especially those with strong abilities.

One familiar name on the list, however, left Ji Yuan somewhat silent.

Wen Linger.

Indeed, if not for seeing this name, Ji Yuan might have almost forgotten her.

Her presence on this list was not surprising at all.

The sole disciple of Kong Xifeng, not only the chief disciple but also the closed-door disciple.

Already of noble status, coupled with her talent of an Abnormal Spirit Root… Ji Yuan estimated she might have already formed a Core.

But if that were truly the case, why were the Wen Lin couple absent from the list?

Ji Yuan was curious, but he had no intention of delving into it.

Even if clarified, what then?

At times like this, there was no need to dwell on such matters.

Furthermore, he particularly noted that neither Liu Yuan nor himself, Ji Yuan, appeared on the list.

“Fortunately, others can’t access this list, otherwise more people would likely come asking questions.”

Ji Yuan muttered to himself as he stored the Jade Scroll away in his Storage Bag.

Most people on the list, he would likely never meet again, so keeping it could serve as a memento.

Three days later, the Water Dragon Sect would relocate, and that night Ji Yuan received a message from Hua Yaoyue, suggesting a gathering at her place.

Since the sect was disbanding, it was natural to gather together.

However, what Ji Yuan didn’t expect was that he would spend the next three days on Wan You Island, with no cultivation, no teachings, just five of them gathering together, eating, drinking, talking, and laughing.

Hua Yaoyue still did not disclose her secrets or share any information about the Desolate Ancient Continent.

She only recounted some past stories from her time cultivating in the Water Dragon Sect and some embarrassing tales about some elders.

Like how Master Xuan Shui once pursued Su Xin Zhenren, hoping to become her Dao companion, only to be rejected with the reason of devotion to the great path of Dao by Su Xin Zhenren.

But the real reason was actually Su Xin Zhenren felt that Master Xuan Shui’s cultivation was too low and couldn’t handle responsibilities, looking down on him.

The disciples laughed heartily upon hearing this.

Phoenix Peach and the others then shared embarrassing stories about each other, while Ji Yuan mostly listened, smiling without comment.

Yet every time his eyes unintentionally met Hua Yaoyue’s, their looks were often somewhat complex.

Ran Kui, being straightforward, had only one concern, the slaying of demon cultivators, alone before, and alone hereafter. Plus, Hua Yaoyue did not tell him about her departure.

In his view, it just meant the sect would be farther away in distance.

He was even laughing with Yun Qianzai, saying that when he could no longer hunt demon cultivators, he would find a way to go to the Desolate Ancient Continent himself and then return to the sect.

Phoenix Peach and Yun Qianzai were a bit reluctant, as they were unaware of the dead-end nature of the Desolate Ancient Continent or of Hua Yaoyue’s intended departure.

So they kept urging Ji Yuan and Ran Kui to make haste to the Desolate Ancient Continent.

Saying they would first establish a big name for themselves there, and when Ji Yuan and Ran Kui arrived on the continent, they could simply use their names… of course, it was Yun Qianzai who said this.

Phoenix Peach said that demon cultivators could never be completely defeated; cultivation can be done anywhere, no need to push oneself too hard, one should relax when it’s time to relax.

The first part was comforting Ran Kui, the eldest brother.

The latter half was to console Ji Yuan, the little disciple.

On the morning of the third day, as if everyone was already prepared mentally, they stopped speaking when the horizon lightened to a pale white.

Under this dim yet slightly illuminating sky, Phoenix Peach said, “Elder brother, younger brother, you should have packed your things by now, right?”

“Yes.”

“Mm.”

The two responded.

Phoenix Peach continued, “Then how about walking with us a bit further… as a farewell, maybe?”

As Phoenix Peach spoke, his voice noticeably shook.

Ran Kui chuckled, “You all have to reach South Sea City before boarding, of course, I’ll see you off! I’ll accompany you to South Sea City, watch you board the ship, and then return.”

Ji Yuan wouldn’t reach South Sea City, but it would be similar, so he nodded along.

“Of course, we must see you off.”

In the darkness before dawn, Yun Qianzai, too, spoke with a slight stammer, “I’m not great with words, can’t say anything too sentimental, eldest brother, little brother, consider this my last little gift for you; remember to open it after I board the ship and set sail.”

Yun Qianzai finished and stuffed two Storage Bags into the hands of Ji Yuan and Ran Kui.

“And mine as well.”

Phoenix Peach hurriedly added.

Feeling the weight of the two Storage Bags in his hands, Ji Yuan couldn’t find any words and could only accept them in the end.

“Little brother, it’s better not to see us off. You are staying on Cangluo Continent, you need these things more than we do.”

Phoenix Peach knew Ji Yuan’s temperament, so seeing him act differently now, he quickly spoke to preempt him.

“Alright, I won’t see you off.”

Just as Ji Yuan’s voice fell, a stream of light flashed above the peak of Wan You Island, and finally, a figure appeared beside them.

Hua Yaoyue wore her usual white dress, but she unusually glanced around, as if nostalgically, or as if she wanted to imprint Wan You Island into her memory.

“If Master can’t bear it, you could take this island with you.”

Ji Yuan transmitted his voice.

He believed Hua Yaoyue had the ability and means to do so.

“If something were to happen to me, they could track Cangluo Continent through the aura of this island, then none of you would escape.”

Hua Yaoyue replied with a voice transmission.

But aloud, she said:

“There’s no such thing as an everlasting feast, nothing worth lamenting over, let’s go.”

For the first time, Ji Yuan retorted:

“But this farewell is for a better reunion next time, isn’t it, Master?”

Hua Yaoyue remained silent.
