Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 377 Leaving Here at the Cost of Faith?

How many things in this world are just our delusions?

In the black Sea of Sin, the soft beach ahead represents the hope of life. However, the beautiful mermaid whose head should have been bitten off is blocking Lin Luoran’s way.

At this moment, Lin Luoran cannot tell what delusion is and what reality is.

Did she really see the ghosts of the Zou family?

Or is it just the conspiracy of this mermaid?

The water wall blocks her way, and there are only three minutes left. Staying with her? Lin Luoran sneers. They both know if mortals looking for Penglai fail in crossing the Sea of Sin within a quarter of an hour, they will always stay here and can’t enter the reincarnation—isn’t it the time for the mermaid to show her true face?

Lin Luoran uses her spiritual power to summon the Bright Sword.

The blue pearl formed by mermaid’s tears is particularly dazzling at this moment. Lin Luoran never knows she will fight with legendary mermaid someday.

Mermaids are darlings of the Shui nationality who are born with a powerful ability to control Water Reiki. Even their tears in the moonlight can become materials for cultivators to refine the Water magic weapon. What about mermaids themselves?

Lin Luoran clenches the hilt. She tiptoes on the Bone Boat and floats in the air.

Without the protection of the bone boat, Lin Luoran can hardly stand still in the devil wind of the Sea of Sin. She flies and shoots out the flying sword toward mermaid in the air.

The mermaid is amused by how arrogant Lin Luoran is.

The water wall comes closer and closer to Lin Luoran, like a closing square cage trying to trap her inside.

Seeing how indifferent the mermaid is, Lin Luoran’s smile is even more shining.

Black sea of grievance soaks Lin Luoran’s dress, and the mermaid smiles confidently. The flying sword is of the Water, and it is based on the blue pearl of mermaid tears. How can such a magic weapon hurt her?

As for water of the Sea of Sin, it is extremely poisonous in this world, which can corrode flesh and destroy magic weapons. Its power of demons is extremely wicked. This human female cultivator is still too careless!

The mermaid turns into a ray of green smoke and dodges the sword light from Lin Luoran. The Bright Sword cuts in the air in vain and stirs several black waves. Burning sound rings in the sword light. It is really the wicked water which can destroy magic weapons!

The mermaid appears behind Lin Luoran. She sees Lin Luoran covering her face and squatting down, and thinks her face must be corroded by the water of the Black Sea. Now is her best chance to launch an attack!

She gently pushes Lin Luoran’s back. Lin Luoran falls into the Sea of Sin, and she is soon swept away by the black waves.

The mermaid’s faintly blue fishtail sweeps in the water. She can’t hide her joy.

No one can survive from the water of the Sea of Sin. This human female cultivator is definitely dead. She holds the Bright Sword losing its owner in hand in the air.

The Bright Sword is trembling violently. It doesn’t want the mermaid to touch itself.

The mermaid touches the blue pearl on the hilt of the sword and whispers some words. The Bright Sword is beating in her hands, and the mermaid sneers, “Even if your owner is still alive now, a quarter of an hour will pass in a flash. She has to stay in this Sea of Sin forever without a chance to enter the reincarnation!”

Just like to confirm what the mermaid said, a black wave capsizes the drifting bone boat. It is soon swallowed up by the black tide.

This boat finally sinks to the bottom of the Sea of Sin like its owner.

The Bright Sword gradually stops trembling. The mermaid’s eyes are full of joy. Compared with her sorrow face a moment ago, her smile is more beautiful. She looks more like a legendary mermaid who grows in the blue sea now.

Having lived in the Sea of Sin for so long, the mermaid knows a quarter of an hour in the Sea of Sin very well.

It must be exact fifteen minutes, not a minute more, or less. The intruders who can’t cross the Sea of Sin will entangle with the dark water endlessly like piles of bones under the water.

She has lived this kind of life for thousands of years. Probably today is the end of it.

The mermaid lifts her head. A bright moon is outside the black wind of the Sea of Sin—can the bright moonlight break through the darkness of the Sea of Sin and lead her to a holy new life when the moment comes?

Thinking of leaving this horrible place, the mermaid is so excited that she can’t control herself. She closes her eyes with her head up, shedding tears slowly.

Three seconds, two seconds… Time is passing by silently, and the tear of the mermaid has not turned into precious blue pearl yet. On the fine soft beach not far from the sea, a hand with a sacred white pearl bracelet stretches out.

It’s almost the last second, and Lin Luoran jumps off the water. Lin Luoran has been a lifeless female cultivator of the human race in the eyes of the mermaid. She should have been swallowed up by the Sea of Sin. But now she is exhausted on the beach, panting heavily.

The mermaid turns around in astonishment. The tear is still on her face, but the Bright Sword has been out of her hand without her noticing. It goes back to its owner.

Lin Luoran is heartbroken over how the Bright Sword is eroded by the Sea of Sin.

Lin Luoran’s secret plan may not work without the help of the Bright Sword inlaid with mermaid tears as a temporary distraction. She might have stayed in that dark sea forever if she had delayed for maybe two seconds. Lin Luoran is out of danger at this moment, but she feels very horrible thinking about it.

“How could it be… how could you be alive… I don’t believe it… I don’t believe it… ”

The tear of joy from the mermaid’s eyes falls down and turns into a blue pearl disappearing in the dark water. She is crazy now, so the Sea of Sin is even more fierce than that when Lin Luoran was crossing it.

Black turbulent vortex and tornado make the rocks on both sides of the strait creak… The mermaid has already been crazy because of Lin Luoran’s survival.

Lin Luoran ignores her. She dries her clothes and stands up on the beach, preparing to go further into the beach.

“Don’t go… talk with me… talk with me… OK?”

The mermaid is begging her behind, but Lin Luoran turns a deaf ear. She holds her dress in hand and disappears on the soft sand step by step. Without those footprints, the mermaid can’t believe that after years of waiting, she really witnesses a human female cultivator passing through the Sea of Sin safely.

How is it possible? The water of the Sea of Sin can corrode everything and contaminate magic weapons. She is just a human female cultivator in the Bearing Essence period. Has she already got a physical body comparable to a magic weapon?

She doesn’t believe it. She doesn’t believe it! She also doesn’t believe she has failed!

Penglai is mysterious. She may still not meet anyone here again, waiting for another thousand years. The mermaid laughs in despair.

She can neither die nor survive. No one can understand her pain. She doesn’t want to live anymore, and she only hopes someone can kill her.

“Please, kill me… I will give you many… many treasures on the seafloor, OK? Please kill me…”

The desperate cry is so moving. The devil wind swirling nearby the beach brings her sound far away.

In fact, the female mermaid is just talking to herself. She never expects that the cultivator who she tried to kill will respond to her. She was hopeful at the beginning but felt hopeless later on. Finally, she hardly expects to leave this horrible place one day.

Mysterious cobblestone appears again. The mermaid covers her own face, and she is weeping bitterly. The big ugly fish is using its back to soothe her without knowing what to do.

It’s said that the soul bound by the Sea of Sin will be free if he finds a scapegoat. Why does this mermaid coming here later than others believe it?

Why can’t this stubborn little mermaid accept her destiny?

—Trapping in the Sea of Sin is the ultimate destiny of sinners like them.

“I have thought about it. There must be a reason for someone to do something. I am also a humble person coming to the Spirit Mountain for my own purpose. You can’t get through the Sea of Sin, so you also don’t allow me to pass it. Is it true?”

The mermaid looks up in shock. The human female cultivator should be gone forever, but now she is standing on the beach and staring at them as if she is thinking about a serious problem.

Although she can’t figure out why the human female cultivator turns back, the mermaid feels she is about to cry again.

She stares blankly at the female cultivator. Lin Luoran seems to have made a big decision.

“If I tell you it’s possible to get you guys out of the Sea of Sin, however, the cost is your faith… is it a good deal for you?”

The female cultivator in a green dress is frowning. No one knows if she is also unsatisfied with the deal or still resentful about what the mermaid did to her. In short, she is not very willing to say it.

The wailing ape sound on both sides of the strait stops, and the Sea of Sin is silent. Everyone in the Sea of Sin, including the mermaid, is moved by the chance Lin Luoran is talking about.

The Sea of Sin has no bounds, and repenting is the only way out. Do you want to leave here at the cost of your faith?
