Chapter 1207 - Regrets in School Life
Chapter 1207: Regrets in School Life
“Hey, did you hear that disaster has struck the snow maidens again?”
Some of the students who stayed up to date with breaking news across the continent were already discussing the events that had just transpired not too long ago.
“What disaster is it this time?”
“A few dozen snow mountains from the Holy Glacial Lands suddenly descended upon the place where they were taking refuge and crushed tens of thousands of snow maidens!”
“Gasp… How the hell did that happen?”
“I don’t know! Apparently, even the Great Empress didn’t know what’s going on.”
“The snow maidens sure are a tribe blighted by misfortune…”
“Heh, are you taking pity on the enemy?”
“Don’t you think that it’s a pity for so many beauties to just die under such mysterious circumstances?”
“I’m just finding it strange how the snow maidens have been so unlucky recently. Their homeland had already been destroyed, and now, they’re being attacked by snow mountains from their homeland. It feels like they’re all destined to be wiped out soon…”
An Lin fell into deep thought as he listened to the conversations around him.
The snow maidens were being struck by snow mountains now?
He was starting to worry about Sister Shangguan Yi again.
The last time they had met in the Ancient Tai Chu Realm, she already had a head of silver hair and her eyes had turned golden, making her look a lot like High Priestess Meng Zhi. Was she going to be corrupted by the snow maidens until she was past the point of no return?
An Lin looked out through the window and muttered to himself, “I have to find an opportunity to go to the snow maiden territory and visit Shangguan Yi…”
Days passed one after the other.
The Heavenly Peach Banquet drew closer and closer.
Many powers across the Tai Chu Continent that were friendly with the Heavenly Court began to travel here for the grand occasion.
Things were starting to get quite lively and exciting.
An Lin was still chilling at university and attending his classes. After being treated like a museum exhibit by all of his underclassmen for a while, his popularity finally began to wane, and it was now a lot easier for him to get around.
He wasn’t averse to the fanaticism of his underclassmen. On the contrary, he cherished this experience.
After all, he was going to leave this school soon. After graduation, he would be leaving behind all of these fanatical and reverent fellow students.
Perhaps he would become a legendary figure like the Heavenly Court War God Er Lang, or perhaps he would even scale to the same dizzying heights as the five Heavenly Court emperors. Even though he would still be regarded as a legendary figure that all of the students knew about, he would be too far away for them to feel any connections with him.
After all, none of the students would dare to send love letters to the five Heavenly Court emperors!
An Lin had received countless love letters over the years from men, women, humans, and creatures of other tribes.
Perhaps this was all because they were all fellow students, and on top of that, An Lin was quite an easygoing character as well.
One morning, An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Xuanyuan Cheng, and Su Qianyun gathered at the summit of a mountain within the schoolyard while appreciating the scenery and enjoying some tea together.
Xuanyuan Cheng looked out at the rising sun with his bright eyes. “We are like the rising sun ourselves. We’re full of hope and energy, and we light up the world, but our best is yet to come!”
A yearning smile appeared on Su Qianyun’s face. “Perhaps I’ll become as dazzling as Big Sister Chang’e one day, like the moon lighting up the entire night sky.”
“Hey, don’t forget that there’s only one moon. Do you want to engage in a battle of Dao Integration with Chang’e as well?” An Lin was a little bit frightened by Su Qianyun’s words.
Xu Xiaolan interjected with a smile, “I don’t think there’s any problem with what Su Qianyun is saying. Nothing is set in stone in this world, and the laws of heaven and earth are there to be broken! An Lin, you could slice apart the laws of the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm, so why can’t Su Qianyun do the same?”
An Lin had no response to this. Xu Xiaolan sure dared to dream!
“That’s right, with enough power, we can break through all obstacles!” Xuanyuan Cheng’s eyes burned with a scorching flame. He was clearly very much in agreement with Xu Xiaolan’s words.
In contrast, Su Qianyun herself was waving her hands. “It’s not what all of you think! Big Sister Chang’e told me that if she becomes the Moon God and gets sick of it someday, she’ll retire and let me take over! That’s what I meant… ”
An Lin almost spat out his mouthful of tea.
Xu Xiaolan: “…”
Xuanyuan Cheng: “…”
They were talking about fighting to defy the natural order, but Su Qianyun was telling them that she could just take a short cut and enter through the backdoor?
The same thought suddenly welled up in their hearts.
Having a powerful big sister sure was a blessing…
“I’ve heard that Senior Student Wang Xuanzhan is going to take a holiday soon and visit the university,” Xuanyuan Cheng said.
“Senior Student Wang Xuanzhan is now a renowned hero on the battlefield against the snow maidens. We should go and see him as well,” An Lin suggested with a smile.
“He left no regrets behind when he graduated.” Xu Xiaolan sighed with emotion.
Su Qianyun sipped her tea with a content smile on her face. “I have no regrets either. I was able to progress to the Soul Formation Stage prior to graduation, and I entered the University Hall of Fame.”
“Me too. I completed the target that I had set for myself during the start of my first year, which was to progress to the Soul Formation Stage, and I entered the University Hall of Fame as well,” Xuanyuan Cheng said with a smile.
Xu Xiaolan wore the most vibrant smile among all of them. “I have no regrets either. I entered the University Hall of Fame, and I became the first Return to Void Stage mighty figure while still a student of the university.”
Su Qianyun and Xuanyuan Cheng suddenly weren’t feeling so good about themselves anymore.
An expression of sorrow appeared on An Lin’s face. “I actually do have some regrets. I entered the University Hall of Fame and conquered the Immortal Spirit Tower, but I haven’t progressed to the Return to Void Stage yet. I hope I can still make it in time.”
Su Qianyun and Xuanyuan Cheng felt as if they were going into cardiac arrest.
We get it, you’re the big bro! Can you please stop?
Couldn’t they just sip some tea and not hurt one another?!
“Classmate An Lin, you’ve changed. You’re no longer the adorable, exuberant youth you once were,” Xuanyuan Cheng complained with a sulky expression.
“I suddenly miss Senior Student Tang Ximen. If he were still here, I would feel much happier while drinking my tea.” Su Qianyun’s bright blue eyes were downcast, and she pouted like a pitiable little kitten.
She felt like she and Xuanyuan Cheng had taken Tang Ximen’s place, and the thought of this was making her quite miserable.
“Haha, there’s one collective regret all of us share.” Xu Xiaolan changed the subject to alleviate the sullen atmosphere.
“What is it?” Xuanyuan Cheng asked.
Everyone turned to look at Xu Xiaolan.
Xu Xiaolan replied with a smile, “We all know that Celestial Immortal Yu Hua is the Vice-Principal of the university, but who is the principal of The United University of Cultivation? Have you guys ever seen him?”
Everyone came to the realization that they hadn’t!
“You’re right! We’re going to graduate soon, and we haven’t even seen the principal yet. That is indeed a big regret.”
“I wonder what this principal is doing. It’s like they don’t even exist!”
“I heard the principal is coming to the Heavenly Peach Banquet!”
“I really want to see the principal so that I can graduate with no regrets.”
An Lin and the others were all getting excited at the mention of the principal, and all of them began to speculate about what the principal was doing.
Just as everyone was chatting joyfully with one another.
The sky gradually began to darken.
An Lin suddenly stood up and looked into the sky with a grave expression.
The clear, blue sky above had been gradually obscured by dark clouds.
“Something’s coming!” An Lin spoke in a solemn voice.
Xu Xiaolan pulled out her sword. “And it’s quite powerful too!”
Rumble…
An extremely violent burst of tremors suddenly erupted from above the clouds.
A gargantuan body descended through the clouds and revealed itself to the world.
This was a smooth, inky-black creature with a fish-like body. It had four short and thick legs, as well as a long tail around which purple lightning revolved. Its body suddenly moved, and it crashed down upon the schoolyard.
Boom!
The entire ground tremored with its descent.
“What the hell is that?” An Lin was shocked.
Anyone would be given a fright if this colossal monster suddenly landed in their school.
Xuanyuan Cheng had already risen into the air atop his sword. “Let’s go have a look!”
