Chapter 218 The Fishing Immortal and His Clingy Disciple (The End)
Xie Liuyan felt as if he were in an endless abyss of darkness, with everything around him black and not a single ray of light.
He reached out his hand, but only touched nothingness.
Where is this place?
No one answered him, not even his system 0526.
He was unsure whether he was in reality or if his consciousness had simply fallen into a deep sleep.
The only thing that tugged at his heartstrings was that Shen Wangchuan was still waiting for him.
Because of a moment of carelessness, his soul was damaged, which is why he vomited blood and fainted.
Shen Wangchuan would probably feel guilty and sad in the real world.
He made many assumptions, but still could not realize them due to reality.
The only solution now is to wake up as soon as possible.
As he thought this, many colorful little lights appeared all over his body.
This might be the chance for him to wake up. Xie Liuyan pondered for a moment and gently touched the nearest point of light with his fingertip.
In an instant, the originally chaotic and dark environment was illuminated by a dazzling light.
Xie Liuyan closed his eyes, stung by the light, but felt a long-lost warmth in his body.
Will he go out? He wanted to apologize to Shen Wangchuan.
······
More than half a month has passed since Master fell into a coma, and Shen Wangchuan has been staying by his side at all times.
I just hope the other person can wake up soon.
After sealing the crack that day, Master vomited blood and fell into a coma for unknown reasons.
Despite his anxiety, Shen Wangchuan calmly used a telepathic technique to call out to his Uncle-Master Lin Ai.
The other person sounded extremely anxious when they heard that their master was injured:
"What? Junior brother is injured? What happened? With his cultivation level, there should be almost nothing that could harm him."
Shen Wangchuan didn't know either, and explained in detail:
“We encountered Sun Qingyang at Wuxu Mountain. He tried to ambush Master while he was drawing the array, but I killed him with a single sword strike.”
"Originally, Master had completed the formation, and I thought we could go back together. I never expected that Master would vomit blood and fall into a coma."
After Shen Wangchuan explained the whole story, Lin Ai led a group of disciples to Wuxu Mountain without stopping.
Shen Wangchuan personally carried his master horizontally and flew back to the Xuantian Sect on his sword.
They consulted the best pharmacist in the sect, who could only conclude that the spiritual energy was greatly depleted and that the patient would wake up after a few days of rest.
However, half a month has passed, and there is still no sign of Master waking up.
As Lin Ai visited his junior brother countless times, Shen Wangchuan finally could no longer suppress his anxiety:
Why hasn't Master woken up yet?
Lin Ai patted his shoulder to signal him to calm down, "Nephew, there's no need to be too anxious. Since the pharmacist said it's just a temporary coma, you'll naturally wake up eventually."
That being said, Lin Ai herself couldn't help but sigh.
These days he's been shuttling between the Xuantian Sect and Wuxu Mountain, using his spiritual power to maintain the Demon-Sealing Array on one side, and checking on his junior brother to see when he'll wake up on the other.
But he knew even better that as his junior brother's Daoist partner, Shen Wangchuan's pain and sorrow were no less.
After seeing her junior brother, Lin Ai wisely withdrew, leaving the young couple alone.
It also prevented outsiders from visiting.
Shen Wangchuan sat by his master's bedside and bent down to stroke the other's brow.
"Ayan, if you don't wake up soon, I'm going to do something naughty."
"Didn't you hate it when I bite your chin? Well, I'm going to bite you now."
He made a gesture as if to bite, but the other person's expression didn't change at all.
Aside from initially frowning, Xie Liuyan's facial expression remained calm, and upon closer inspection, the corners of his mouth even curled up slightly.
It seems like I was having a beautiful dream.
After gesturing for a long time, Shen Wangchuan finally couldn't bear to part with Xie Liuyan. He then took off his shoes, rolled over, and got into bed.
His hand rested steadily around the other's waist, his chin rested on Xie Liuyan's shoulder, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Although cultivators don't need to sleep, he had already developed the same routine as Xie Liuyan.
Even Shen Wangchuan was finding it hard to bear staying by Ayan's side for so many days.
I hope that when he wakes up, all the gloom will be gone, and he can stay with his loved one until old age.

"My head hurts a little," Xie Liuyan said, frowning.
It felt like something was binding my waist, making it difficult to move freely.
He seemed to have a beautiful dream, but he couldn't remember the specific details.
He only remembered that Shen Wangchuan was also in his dream. When the other person saw him, he rushed forward and hugged him tightly, kissing him with red eyes.
Xie Liuyan didn't remember the details clearly after that. He slowly opened his eyes after rubbing his temples.
Everything in front of him was still somewhat blurry, but as time passed, he could finally see the curtains and the roof clearly.
It was a very familiar place; this was the room he shared with Shen Wangchuan.
He felt inexplicably calmer, and as if remembering something, he called out 0526 in his mind:
"0526, are you there? What's the status of System 004?"
He only remembered that 004 tried to forcibly bind with him and used a tool that destroyed the soul, causing him to vomit blood and faint.
0526's voice echoed in his mind:
"Waaaaah~ Lord God, you've finally woken up! 0526 was so worried about you, waaaaah o(╥﹏╥)o"
"During your period of unconsciousness, the system has not detected any trace of 004. Perhaps it has already left your body."
Xie Liuyan frowned slightly; it had actually escaped.
"I'm fine. Let me get my health checked now."
"Beep! System check in progress~~"
During the test, Xie Liuyan suddenly felt a warm breath on his neck, but he assumed Shen Wangchuan was asleep and didn't pay attention.
"Detection successful! Lord God, your soul was already fragile after the restart of the cultivation world, and it was further injured by 004's sneak attack."
"If we continue the quick travel journey, there may be some unforeseen circumstances."
Xie Liuyan nodded to indicate that he understood, but before he could think about it, he was disturbed by what was happening in reality.
Hot tears dripped down her neck, which Shen Wangchuan sucked at them fiercely.
Xie Liuyan couldn't help but groan, while raising his arm to stroke the other person's hair.
“I just woke up from a dream, so you don’t need to be in such a hurry.”
"Be gentle, it hurts a little."
Shen Wangchuan's voice was almost choked with emotion: "What if Ayan never wakes up? I'm really scared."
How could the person he cherishes so dearly abandon him so unreasonably?
"I'm sorry, I knew this would happen. I promise you, it won't happen again, okay?"
Shen Wangchuan raised his head, his eyes red-rimmed, and his usually pursed lips unusually turned up in a smile:
"Master, a promise is a promise!"
Xie Liuyan nodded helplessly. Since taking him as his disciple, he had never seen this person cry so sadly.
He should also make a guarantee.
Shen Wangchuan composed himself, put his arm around Xie Liuyan's neck, and kissed him.
The joy of regaining what was lost was indescribable. Shen Wangchuan only knew that he should cherish this precious moment and not waste it.
Even though they have many more years to come, it doesn't stop him from truly "feeling" the other person's presence now.

postscript
Upon learning the good news that Xie Liuyan had woken up, Lin Ai held a banquet at the Xuantian Sect to celebrate.
His mood has been fluctuating a lot lately, and he has also gained quite a few insights.
After the banquet, Lin Ai devoted herself to seclusion, temporarily entrusting the sect to Xie Liuyan.
He would hand the apprentice over to his son when his good-for-nothing disciple had made something of himself.
Fifty years later, Lin Ai comprehended the Great Dao and successfully ascended to heaven.
Lin Qinglin also reached the late Nascent Soul stage through his own efforts and took over the sect.
Shen Wangchuan's cultivation level has also been continuously improving, and he is only one major realm away from Xie Liuyan.
The only thing that intrigued him was that his master's cultivation had stalled at the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm and had not progressed any further.
Only after being questioned did Xie Liuyan reveal that he had no intention of ascending to immortality.
This world has already developed to a very high level. He is already a god, and further ascension would disrupt the world order.
Upon hearing this, Shen Wangchuan did not ask any further questions. He no longer focused on improving his cultivation level, but instead spent his time living with Xie Liuyan.
The two traveled through most of the cultivation world, witnessing the wonders of mountains and rivers, and even took the opportunity to travel throughout the mortal realm.
A cultivator's life is truly long. Hundreds of years have passed, and the Xuantian Sect has grown larger and larger, with wave after wave of cultivators arriving.
Shen Wangchuan should be grateful for the cultivator's constitution that prevents them from aging easily; he and Ayan have maintained their original appearances.
The two traveled many roads and experienced many interesting things.
Even at the very end, when his lifespan was exhausted, Shen Wangchuan still held his lover's hand steadily.
Xie Liuyan lay beside him and whispered in his ear:
"In the next life, will you wait for me?"
Shen Wangchuan was too weak to speak, he just smiled and nodded.
Both of them closed their eyes at the same time, with smiles on their lips.
A gust of wind blew by, and a butterfly flew in through the window and landed on the empty bedside table.
Suddenly, the air rippled for a moment, and the butterfly, startled, flew away.
"Beep! Host bound!"
