Chapter 34
Just when everyone is gripped by astonishment by the bizarre encounter, someone suddenly exclaims and points to a certain direction in the sky. Indeed, a small black dot could be seen in the sky and it is descending rapidly. Soon, a human figure can vaguely be made out from it.
A commotion breaks out as shouts of exclamation tides over the crowd. At the entrance of the small tavern, Old Ma and Lu Chens faces darken,
Old Ma mutters, Cultivator?
Lu Chen pauses for a moment before nodding his head and replying softly, Seems to be it. He fell down in the middle of his flight.
Old Ma grits his teeth as his face turns cold. As known among the cultivators, only those who had at least attained a minor achievement in the foundation stage is capable of flight and cultivators in foundation stage can already be considered a top-tier power in a cultivator sect such as the Thousand Autumn Doors.New novel chapters are published on
Staring at the black shadow descend from the sky and an increasing speed, panicked screaming can be heard from afar. The direction of descend seems to be towards the village. For a short moment, a commotion breaks out among the crowd as everyone rushes to retreat as far away as possble from the falling black shadow.
It didnt take long for the black shadow to fall to the ground. In the midst of innumerable exclaims by the crowds, peng, along with a deafening sound, the figure crashes into a dwelling, creating a giant hole in the roof. At that moment, it feels as though the ground has quivered slightly and a flurry of dust whips up.
The sight is so tragic that despite the crowds are only looking at that sight, they cant help but feel goosebumps rise up from their skins and a cold chill even under such a sweltering weather.
A short moment later, the crowds start to gather up to the dwelling. Lu Chen and Old Ma are also part of the crowd.
At this moment, the unlucky owner of the dwelling is standing outside his hut, dumbfounded by the sight. He seems to be on the verge of tears. Very soon, prying open the doors of the hut, everyone catches sight of the fallen human figure.
He seems to be an elderly in his fifties. At this moment, he is lying on the ground limply. Blood is flowing down from his seven apertures and he seems to have breathed his last. The broken bones on his body are too much to count and the sight of his body is truly horrifying.
The faint-hearted ones had already retreated out of fear whereas those who are more daring pales from the appalling sight. There are even people who started dry heaving.
At this moment, someone points to the corpse and exclaims in shock, That that persons clothes, he is an elder from Thousand Autumn Doors!
The crowd is astonished. Turning around to take a look, they notice that his clothes bear a certain level of resemblance to it. A commotion breaks out instantly and the crowd hurriedly retreats from the hut.
Old Ma and Lu Chen retreats along with the crowd and walk to the very back of it. Old Ma surveys the surroundings, and after confirming that there is no one around, he mutters softly, It is Elder Xu Yunhe from Thousand Autumn Doors.
Lu Chens eyebrows lift slightly. He glances at Old Ma, opens his mouth but closes it before saying anything.
Old Ma traces his line of sight and after a moment, his face freezes as well. Outside the hut, among the seven to eight Thousand Autumn Doors disciples, there is a dashing young man whom he recognises as Li Ji.
After numerous days of absence, this extraordinarily talented and lucky young man still seems the same, dashing and carefree. Even when standing among his fellow peers, he is still looks equally outstanding.
Upon seeing Li Ji, the surrounding villagers exclaim in shock. It is apparent that they are quite envious of him. There are even a few young girls who stare at him with glowing eyes by the side. It feels as though they would melt in an instant if Li Ji were to turn around and glance at them.
Old Ma shakes his head and chuckles to Lu Chen, A good skin. I am envious.
Lu Chen doesnt reply to his comment and continues staring in that direction for a moment. Then, as he moves his gaze away, he catches sight of Ding Dang standing in a remote corner behind the crowds. She is standing beneath a peach blossom tree, staring at Li Ji from afar. Her eyes are bright and her face seems to glowing. She looks exceptionally beautiful.
Alright, to clarify the terms that I have been putting off so long
zhu ji jing (Foundation realm/stage)
-> Exactly as it sounds, it probably means like the preparation you need to do to truly cultivate (though one is already considered a cultivator by this point). Simply put it, the entrance to a larger world, the foundation of a castle.
/ xiao cheng/ da cheng (Minor achievement/ major achievement)
-> I dislike these two words because they are difficult to translate
Edit: The suggestions given to me for it are Minor/Major Completion/Achievement/Mastery. I will go with Achievement
(Thanks to the Discord bros again :P)
/ xian zhang/ zhang lao (Elder)
-> The former refers to an elder of a cultivator sect whereas the latter just means an elder (which in this case, is still applied to an elder of a cultivator sect)
Alright, similar to what I have said in LoHP, if there are some grammar mistakes that I keep committing repetitively (like will would can could), feel free to correct me.
