Chapter 1330: Brightflower Land

Xiang Shaoyun had come with Tuoba Wan’er and Gong Qinyin only for the Brightflower Land. He wanted to see if it was really as miraculous as it sounded. When Liu Yanran avoided seeing him, he knew that things wouldn’t be so smooth. That was why Xiang Shaoyun had decided to create a big commotion, forcing Liu Yanran to give him an answer.

Liu Yanran did not want to talk about the matter publicly. She said to the people around them, “Everyone, go back to what you were doing before.”

After everyone left, Liu Yanran said to Xiang Shaoyun, “Young Master Xiang, please come with me to our office in the Brightflower Chamber. Let’s discuss the details there.”

Brightflower Chamber was not only their organization’s name but also their main building’s name as well. Xiang Shaoyun did not reject the invitation. He followed Liu Yanran to the Brightflower Chamber with his two companions and Hidden Rat. At the Brightflower Chamber, more than 10 Soul Foundation Realm cultivators were waiting. All of them were the Brightflower Chamber’s core members.

Liu Yanran said, “Elders, prior to our alliance with the Ziling Sect, I had asked for your opinions before agreeing to their requests. Now, Young Master Xiang is here. As for the three Brightflower Land quotas, are we giving them out or not?”

They remained silent for a while before one of them broke the silence, “Since we had promised, we can’t break our promise. Our Brightflower Chamber would be reduced to a joke otherwise.”

“That’s right. I never agreed with the two Saint Realm elders’ suggestion that we only give up one quota. How can we break our own words?” said a different person.

Soon, more and more people answered Liu Yanran’s question. They were basically unanimously agreeing to abide by the agreement. Upon hearing their words, Xiang Shaoyun finally understood why they had been left alone for three days. It had turned out that these people were unwilling to give up the three quotas.

“Very good. Since everyone has agreed, I’ll bring Young Master Xiang to the Brightflower Land,” said Liu Yanran in a satisfied manner.

She was borrowing Xiang Shaoyun’s strength to suppress these elders. At the same time, she was building up her influence. She wouldn’t have needed to kill Yuan Lingshao otherwise. If she didn’t show some courage, she would probably lose her position as the young chamber master.

After dismissing everyone, Liu Yanran said, “Young Master Xiang, Yanran apologizes for delaying this for several days and allowing such trouble to happen.”

“Hehe, Miss Liu is quite a thoughtful one,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a profound smile. “Let’s go. Show us the Brightflower Land. We’ll talk again later.”

“Please come with me,” said Liu Yanran. She could see that Xiang Shaoyun had seen through her intentions. She felt somewhat awkward, but for the sake of power, a little embarrassment was something she could endure.

Xiang Shaoyun, Tuoba Wan’er, and Gong Qinyin followed Liu Yanran. After going through a serene aisle, passing by a pavilion, and crossing a bridge, they arrived at a serene and elegant forest. Powerful formation undulations could be sensed around the forest, and numerous experts were standing guard. Before the forest was a stele with “Forbidden Forest” written on it.

When Liu Yanran and Xiang Shaoyun’s group arrived, an old voice rang out, “Visitors, please stop. Nobody is allowed to enter the forbidden zone.”

“Elder, all the elders had agreed to allow our allies to enter the Brightflower Land. This is my command token. Please allow us to enter,” said Liu Yanran.

“No outsiders have ever been allowed to enter the forbidden zone. It’s truly unfortunate that we’re now allowing outsiders to enter,” said the elder with a sigh. “Fine, you may enter.”

Liu Yanran brought Xiang Shaoyun and his companions into the forest.

Upon entering, Liu Yanran said, “Follow me closely. Don’t go the wrong way, or you will immediately trigger the saint-grade killing formation. I won’t be able to do anything if that happens.”

Xiang Shaoyun and company were aware of that. They followed closely behind Liu Yanran. While traveling, Xiang Shaoyun did not forget to observe and study the forest. He found that each tree was positioned according to a certain rule, causing the trees to become one with the formations, completely isolating the forest from the outside world. 

Because of that, nobody could effectively probe the forest from the outside. Not even his saint soul was an exception. He thought, Looks like the Brightflower Chamber is not completely useless after all.

After they followed Liu Yanran for a while, the space before them suddenly opened up. A lake with water so clear that the bottom could be seen appeared before them. Before the lake stood a stele with “Brightflower Land” written on it.

“This is the Brightflower Land?” Xiang Shaoyun was completely confused.

“Yes, this is the Brightflower Land. This is also where the Brightflower Landscape will appear,” said Liu Yanran with a nod.

“So are we going to just wait here?” asked Tuoba Wan’er.

“Just keep an eye on the five flowers over there. When they bloom, sit down within the flowers. You will then be able to see the landscape,” said Liu Yanran as she pointed at the massive flower atop the lake.

The five flowers emanated a bright glow. Abstruse patterns ran through the petals, giving the flowers a mysterious sensation. With one look, one would be able to see that they were no ordinary flowers. Even Xiang Shaoyun, with his two lifetimes’ worth of experience and the numerous books he had read, couldn’t determine their origin.

“So these are the so-called brightflowers?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

“That’s right. These are the brightflowers, and this lake is known as the Stargazing Lake. The combination of the Stargazing Lake and the brightflowers will allow one to enter a profound state that will help increase one’s strength. These brightflowers will bloom once every ten years. The time for the next blooming is arriving,” Liu Yanran explained.

“What an excellent place,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

He could feel that the water within the lake was different from regular water and that its spiritual energy was thick. From the surroundings of the lake, he could see that the lake was a place where spiritual energy gathered. It was no wonder that something as miraculous as the Brightflower Landscape could take form here.

“The moment the brightflowers open, each person can only enter once. When the brightflowers bloom next, it won’t work for the same person. Additionally, this won’t work for Saints,” said Liu Yanran.

“Noted. So we just need to wait here for now?” asked Xiang Shaoyun.

“Yes. The flowers will bloom within a month. The flowers will last half a month before withering away. At that time, all the effects will vanish,” said Liu Yanran.

“Only half a month? What can we get with only half a month?” Tuoba Wan’er felt somewhat regretful.

Gong Qinyin said, “Yeah. It’s too short. I wonder how good the effects would be.”

“Do not set your requirements too high. Half a month on the flower is equivalent to a year or two of cultivation. It depends on one’s comprehension capabilities,” said Liu Yanran.
