33 - The Eldest Martial Sister Gave Up Treatment

Chapter 8: Tears from the Moonlit Sea She gradually closed her eyes. In that instant, an image flashed before her of An Lan with her arms crossed, looking displeased. "Master... I'm sorry..." Come on. Come and kill me! Bai Lian quietly awaited the arrival of death. Though her end was near today, she had done nothing to bring shame to her master. Yet... Regret lingered within her. This regret drifted with her heart, leaving Bronze Valley, soaring over the Snow Seas, past the Blackwood Strait, across countless rivers and mountains, finally reaching Qiongmeng Peak. Inside the damp, chilly cave. An Lan sat upright by a stone table. She had remained there like a frozen statue for five whole hours. The blue flame's glow reflected on her face. She didn't find it boring at all. Because this candle flame was crafted by her before Bai Lian’s departure, the burning fire itself was a part of Bai Lian’s soul essence. Seeing this flame was like seeing Bai Lian. As long as she could see Bai Lian, even if she did nothing, idly sitting like this, everything felt meaningful. At a certain moment. The steady flame in the candlestick suddenly flickered as if hit by the wind. An Lan's eyes finally regained their light. She pulled the candlestick closer, murmuring. "Why are you so foolish?" Bai Lian was in danger. Her soul flame was on the verge of extinguishing at any moment. Moreover, for some unknown reason, she refused to use the tears from the Moonlit Sea. An Lan first rubbed her eyes with her fingers, then tugged at the corners of her mouth into an unsightly smile. And then. She sighed deeply. "I knew it." Precisely because of this, An Lan had tampered with the tears from the Moonlit Sea early on. As soon as Bai Lian's soul flame flickered, the tears from the Moonlit Sea would activate automatically, even if Bai Lian did nothing. It wasn't a weapon. It was merely a tear she shed upon the passing of Yan Xiyi. But don't underestimate this tear, it's the tear of a Celestial Sovereign! The supreme Celestial Sovereign is never supposed to shed tears. The composition of this tear was extraordinarily complex. Aside from the drop of water, it contained gratitude, regret, sorrow, confusion... All these elements melded together to create the purest protective essence in the world. Its power is gentle, yet unmatched! "Go, bring Bai Lian back." An Lan gripped the candlestick tightly. The wavering flame finally steadied. Her voice, the warmth of her hand, and everything she hoped for began to blossom with the power of the Moonlit Sea's tears. That was the flame of hope. That was the ark of the future. That was the white light bursting forth from Bai Lian’s pendant! The light enveloped Bai Lian like a cascade, breaking through barriers, piercing the heavens. Whether it was the possessed Jiang Jing, the female cultivator, or the specter, all halted. In this silence, Bai Lian, who awaited death with closed eyes, slowly opened them. She found herself in a vast expanse of whiteness. It was empty here. Yet she didn’t feel lonely at all. This feeling was identical to being embraced by her master. "Is this a dying illusion?" Bai Lian was taken aback. For a moment, she was surprised to see two objects floating before her. To the left was a Sky Survey Talisman. To the right...
