Qing Ming City.

The endless blue ice dissipated. It was as if a millennium frost had landed, freezing everything.

Be it the Restart Array or the area transformed by green lights, everything came to a standstill at that moment. All of Qing Ming City was dazzling with a strange glow.

Half of it was frosted and the other half green!

Buzz—

Buzz—

The Restart Array tried to start again.

However…

It behaved like a device that was jammed. The array emerged several times but also disappeared several times.

This thing…

It seemed to have broken down after the Sword Embryo jabbed it.

Shush!

Everyone was silent.

Even the onlookers were confused at this moment.

What was happening?

Fortuitous encounter?

Had the fortuitous encounter already happened?!

According to the books, transformation would only occur after the Restart Array was fully released and the green lights engulfed the entire Qing Ming City. But now…

There was only half of it!

Was this considered a success?!

Or was this half of the fortuitous encounter?

Nobody knew.

This was because no one had encountered this before.

Especially since this was a rare array.

Somewhere.

Somewhere, a small old man was squatting on the streets outside Qing Ming City. Beneath his feet was the path that one had to follow from Tian Du City to Qing Ming City.

Suddenly…

His wristband vibrated.

A screen popped up.

“Second uncle!”

“Second uncle!”

An anxious voice could be heard from the other side of the device. “Where are you? Didn’t I ask you to block the powerful figure? Damn it. Why would Lu Yan appear in Qing Ming City?!”

Their greatest worry was that Lu Yan would come because of the fortuitous encounter.

According to rumors…

Lu Yan had once gone to a Lunar Shadow Legacy. She did not want the legacy or anything it had. She even brought her younger brother along to have fun. However, because their performance was too outstanding, no one inherited the legacy in the end… According to the analysis afterward, none of the participants attained the Lunar Shadow Legacy!

Wasn’t she just fooling around?!

That lady was simply creating havoc everywhere she went!

Therefore…

Lu Yan was too lethal!

However, unexpectedly, this time… Lu Yan had come because she wanted to destroy the Restart Array!

Was she sick in the mind?!

“Lu Yan is not a seven-star.”

The small old man muttered, “Aren’t you guys six-star?”

“Second uncle!”

“Are you serious? If Lu Yan, that mad woman, is here, what else can we do?

“Is this the main problem?!

“A-argh!

“I’m so furious!”

“Second uncle, do you know how astonishing this fortuitous encounter is?!

“Lu Yan destroyed it with one strike!”

“You’re a dignified seven-star, why can’t you stop Lu Yan?”

The other party was enraged. “Second uncle, have you been secretly watching the female broadcaster’s dance?!”

The small old man quietly shut down the program which was running in the background. “No I haven’t. That’s impossible. Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Second uncle!”

The other side almost cried out of frustration.

“Okay, okay, okay.”

The small old man sighed. “You really can’t blame me for this. I was waiting here but Lu Yan did not come here at all.”

“Impossible!”

The other side exclaimed in shock, “Clearly, she had beaten the Restart Array.”

“Yes.”

The small old man did not know whether to laugh or cry. “This time, the person did not come. Only the sword came…”

“Huh?!”

The other party was dumbstruck.

Only the sword came?

H-how is this possible?!

It was not just him.

The first thing that many people wanted to do was to restrain Lu Yan. After all, the Sword Embryo had erupted and Lu Yan must be at her weakest now. Afterward, they were shocked to discover that…

Lu Yan had not even come!

“Well…

“Just now, I vaguely saw a crack in the sky.”

“What you’re saying is that…

“Lu Yan’s power broke through the sky?”

“That is possible.”

Shush.

Everyone was instantly silent.

Therefore…

Lu Yan threw her Sword Embryo through the sky and then self-destructed?!

Could a Swordsman do that?!

Everyone was in tears.

Damn. Aren’t you a Swordsman?! When did we become a vocation that dropped nuclear weapons from the sky?!

However…

It was also good that she had not come!

If she had come, it was unclear who the fortuitous encounter belonged to. After all, she had vanquished so many legacy sites that she sent chills up the backs of everyone there!

Even if her Sword Embryo had erupted…

No one would dare to underestimate her!

“Don’t bother about it. It’s good that she did not come.”

“Yes.”

Some people understood what happened.

They looked at what was before them again. Although the Restart Array had come to a standstill, half of Qing Ming City had already disappeared and formed a green area!

“There…

“That’s where the fortuitous encounter is!

“Half of it is frozen and the other half green!

The fortuitous encounter…

“It must be in the green area!

“Let’s go!”

“Even if it’s just half of the fortuitous encounter, I want to get something out of it!”

“Humph, even if the fortuitous encounter is halved, it will be stunning!”

Shush!

Shush!

People stepped into the green area.

Greeting their eyes was a wondrous sight.

At this very moment, they finally realized that the green areas did not appear randomly. It was a planned arrangement!

These places…

This was the true prowess of the Restart Array?!

Somewhere.

A seven-star looked at Qing Ming City from afar.

He tried to step into the Restart Array. However, just at that instant, he could sense a strong feeling of repulsion and danger from the depths of his soul.

He paused his steps instantly.

This array… was incomplete!

If he were to enter it, the Restart Array would definitely collapse!

Everyone would have to die, including himself.

“It is such a pity.”

He sighed and called a few of his disciples to come over.

Somewhere.

The policemen looked at the incomplete Restart Array with ghastly pale faces.

They were very clear that because of that one strike of Lu Yan, the effect that they expected would no longer appear. But if there was only half of it…

It did not seem to have much of an impact?

“A fortuitous encounter is still a fortuitous encounter.

“However…

“There will be less items.

“Even sharing the resources amongst us will not be enough, therefore…”

Cold beams of lights streaked across their eyes. “We must not let anyone go. This time, regardless of their background, spare no one who enters!”

“Understood!”

“Also…

“Those people in Qing Ming City who believe that they have escaped…

“Haha.

“When we come out, we have to massacre them!”

“Understood!”

Shush!

Lights and shadow flashed.

The policemen also entered the green area.

At this very moment…

At the entrance of the shop which had already dissipated.

Lu Ming and Xiaobai was standing, surrounded by a layer of frost.

“The shop is gone.”

Xiaobai’s heart ached a little.

This small shop in Qing Ming City contained all of her and her master’s efforts. This was a small home of theirs in Qing Ming City. But now…

It was also gone?

“Yes.”

Lu Ming’s expression was calm.

That was right.

The shop was gone…

It was not merely this shop. There were at least a dozen shops which were shrouded by the green lights on this street. The remaining dozen shops were filled with frost.

This was his sister’s doing.

Lu Ming looked into the distance. Qing Ming City currently was an interlace of icy blue and green hues.

Mysterious.

Bewitching.

“Most likely, the frost is stopping the green area from spreading,” Xiao-Xiaojian analyzed.

“Yes.”

Lu Ming was still calm.

Xiao-Xiaojian glanced at him and dared not provoke him. According to his understanding of Lu Ming, the calmer this guy was, the more likely he would explode in a rage.

Well…

Lu Ming was happily eating papayas and chatting with Xiaobai but suddenly, the house was gone…

“Those people seem to have entered it?”

Xiao-Xiaojian noticed that those people had been dashing into the green area anxiously.

They were very anxious.

It seemed that…

The fortuitous encounter was there.

“Yes.”

Lu Ming was still calm.

He pulled and touched Xiaobai’s hands. They felt very cold.

“Are you feeling cold?”

Lu Ming rubbed Xiaobai’s hands.

“Not cold.”

Xiaobai’s childish and tender voice made his heart ache.

“Be good.”

Lu Ming touched her little head.

A distance away.

He looked at the borders of Qing Ming City.

If it was possible, he very much wanted to send Xiaobai away. However, judging from the current situation, he was afraid that it was not possible anymore.

Since those people were already prepared to stop outsiders from entering, they would also stop the people inside from leaving. After all, they could not let the fortuitous encounter land in other people’s hands, right?

It seemed that…

Following him would be the safest option.

This time…

He had to bring Xiaobai along.

“Xiaobai.”

“Yes.”

“Are you afraid?”

“No.”

“Master will protect you.”

“Okay,” Xiaobai said seriously.

She trusted her master.

“Be good.”

Lu Ming touched her tiny head and suddenly asked, “What is your level now?”

Xiaobai suddenly had a perplexed expression on her face. After contemplating, she actually could not remember. She immediately felt a little embarrassed. “Master, give me a while, I’ll look for my card…”

Afterward…

She rummaged through her bag and took out Xiao-Xiaobai.

Well…

“Ah!

“I’m already a four-star!”

Xiaobai was overjoyed.

Shush!

The expression on Lu Ming’s face froze immediately.

Four…

Four-star?!

Damn!

Xiaobai was actually a four-star now?!

“When did you become a four-star?”

Lu Ming was amazed.

“I don’t know,” Xiaobai said honestly.

After all… Xiao-Xiaobai had been responsible for matters related to cultivation.

Alright.

What else could Lu Ming say?

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Then again, Xiaobai had already been a three-star for a long time. When they went to Zi Yang College the last time, she was already a three-star. However, this cultivation speed…

Hehe.

He merely cast a silent glance at Xiao-Xiaojian.

His expression was cold and chilly.

Xiao-Xiaojian turned sullen.

Damn!

On what grounds do I have to take the blame for this?!

Are you the same people?

How talented is the young lady and how talented are you?!

And…

Damn it! You have a hundred thousand energy points in your body! Have you considered the feelings of having ten thousand energy points stuffed in your body?! I was almost stuffed to death, alright!

This is not fair at all.

Do you know how difficult it is to advance from a level with ten thousand energy points from beginner four-star to intermediate four-star?!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Xiao-Xiaojian glowed fervently and constantly complained.

“Take this.”

Lu Ming passed some four-star cards to Xiaobai.

“Yes.”

Xiaobai tucked them into her schoolbag.

In that case…

Let’s go.

Lu Ming looked at the green area in front of him.

Shush!

He held Xiaobai’s hands and they stepped inside.

Buzz—

In their surroundings, faint ripples of lights flashed.

Greeting their eyes… was a wondrous sight!

“This is…”

Lu Ming’s pupils constricted greatly.

In the areas that were already shrouded by the Restart Array and the places where the buildings had vanished, a number of ancient buildings had appeared!

The buildings greatly resembled the main halls from ancient times.

The green glows from the fortuitous encounter were actually the foundations of these buildings! Starting from these foundations, the lights spread towards the surroundings.

Before his eyes, at the spot where his shop originally stood, was an ancient building. On a sign was written: Breeze Pavilion.

“Why does this sound a little familiar?”

Xiao-Xiaojian furrowed his brows tightly.

Breeze Pavilion…

In his ancient memory, he seemed to have heard of this before?

“This was a very common name in ancient times.”

Lu Ming was not surprised.

According to rumors…

During ancient times, there were not that many vocations. There were no associations either. At that time, people went through ‘sects’ to inherit the legacies!

The ancient buildings were obviously the main halls of different sects!!! Qing Ming City was actually the base for many sects a thousand years ago!!

As for ‘restart’…

The so-called restart portion of the array… was actually to restore the sects that existed a thousand years ago!

Yes.

It was to simply restore them!

Completely different from what he had imagined about resurrecting a particular boss-equivalent figure, the objective of the Restart Array was actually to restore the entire sect!!!

“I was misled by the name…”

Lu Ming sighed.

Restart…

To hell with it.

If it were him, this array’s name should definitely be: Restoration Array, Reinstallation Array or even Modern Ghost Array!

What kind of lousy name was Restart Array?

Buzz—

Faint lights and shadows passed.

Lu Ming felt as though he had returned to ancient times.

Of course.

This was because of Lu Yan’s forceful intervention.

This so-called restoration was merely carried out half way.

Therefore…

Some buildings and some roads were only half-restored.

For example, the one right in front of him.

Lu Ming looked up and he could clearly see the path leading to Breeze Pavilion. A part of it was made of green flagstones and another part was made of asphalt. It was ridiculous and intriguing.

A part of it was from a thousand years ago and the other part was from the present.

“Let’s go and take a look,” Lu Ming said.

“Okay.”

Xiaobai nodded.

Hence…

Lu Ming held Xiaobai’s hands and walked to the Breeze Pavilion.

One step… was worth a thousand years.
