“Your master paid a price to let me help you once.”
“Even though I summoned you here to help you stabilize your immortal body and recover your divine body, all of this is because of your master. Your master… has sacrificed a lot.”
“Chen Erniu, it’s the same for you.”
“Your origins are mysterious. Your master came to the Summer Immortal Palace before for you. After paying a sufficient price, he checked the history. However, the Summer Immortal Palace has records of you only after your third life.”
“As for your second life and the first life, there are no records of them in the Summer Immortal Palace. Perhaps only you know.”
“We don’t know much about your third life either. There seems to be a force that erased it, and this part of the content was never meant to be opened to anyone by the Summer Immortal Palace.”
“But your master sacrificed a portion of his origin energy and even used his authority to obtain this opportunity for you from the Immortal Source.”
“This allowed you to merge with the history of the Summer Immortal Palace and remember more about who you truly are.”
“You guys have a good master.”
In the rain, Xu Qing raised his head and looked in the direction of the Nanhuang Continent.
“Eldest Senior Brother, Master… is arranging the final affairs.”
Xu Qing mumbled.
Erniu fell silent. After a long time, he slowly spoke.
“I’ll go back and ask the old man what’s going on.”
As he spoke, Erniu’s body swayed as he headed straight for the teleportation array in the human capital.
Xu Qing nodded and walked over with Erniu.
At this moment, they put everything else aside. The most important thing now was to return to the Nanhuang Continent and meet their master.
They wanted to ask about everything.
Not long later, the array formation in the human capital rumbled and Xu Qing and Erniu disappeared.
Several days later, on the Forbidden Sea between the Nanhuang Continent and the Yinghuang Province, a pagoda shattered the void and crossed the Forbidden Sea at an astonishing speed.
At dusk, it appeared above the Seven Blood Eyes. After that, the pagoda disappeared. At the top of the Seventh Peak of the Seven Blood Eyes, outside Old Master Seventh’s closed-door cultivation cave abode, Xu Qing and Erniu’s figures suddenly appeared.
They both knelt down.
After a long time.
A sigh echoed out from the cave abode.
“Why aren’t the two of you following the Summer Immortal Palace to the land of Immortal Source to sleep? What are you doing here?”
“Master.”
Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the cave abode. A feeling of worry rose in his heart.
As for Erniu, his expression had been gloomy these few days. At this moment, he raised his head and spoke loudly.
“Old man, what’s going on?!”
The cave abode’s gate opened with a boom and Old Master Seventh’s figure walked out, glaring at Erniu.
“Are you itching for a beating?!”
Seeing that Old Master Seventh looked like normal, Erniu heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. He hurriedly put on a fawning expression and chuckled.
Old Master Seventh snorted. His gaze landed on Xu Qing and he nodded slightly.
“Your molding is quite good.”
After that, he raised his head and looked at the sky. Just as Xu Qing and Erniu were about to ask, his voice echoed.
“I know what you two want to ask.”
“It’s nothing more than asking me about the arrangements for the aftermath.”
Xu Qing and Erniu’s hearts trembled.
“Although 1 did pay the price for everything the Summer Immortal Palace did for you, I’m your master. This is what I should do.”
“Not only you guys, but many people from the Seven Blood Eyes and that good-for-nothing Third have also been sent to the Immortal Source to sleep by me.”
“As for Second, she has her own choice. 1 don’t want to interfere.”
“And the reason I did this was just in case.”
“There’s karma between me and the ancient immortal in that heaven-level holy land.”
“However, it’s not that I’m not confident. The sword slash of the Sword Holding Great Emperor also bought me time, so the two of you should hurry up and scram now. Don’t waste my cultivation time.”
Old Master Seventh glared at Erniu and nodded at Xu Qing.
After that, before the two of them could say anything, he flicked his sleeve and sent them away. Only then did he return to his cave abode with his hands behind his back.
With a boom, the gate to the abode slammed down.
In the cave abode, Old Master Seventh stood there in silence for a long time before sighing softly.
“The world is going to change. Can my umbrella… cover it…”
Old Master Seventh slowly sat down and closed his eyes.
Whether it could or not, he was determined to fight for it, so that his umbrella could continue to shield his disciples from the storm.
Outside the Seven Blood Eyes, a strong wind howled in the sky.
Xu Qing and Erniu’s figures were swept up here. They didn’t speak to each other and suppressed emotions filled their hearts.
Although Old Master Seventh had made it sound like nothing earlier, Xu Qing and Erniu were no longer children. They had their own judgment.
“Old man… has gotten old, but he is still doing so much…”
Erniu mumbled a few words and looked at Xu Qing.
“Little Qing, go to the Summer Immortal Palace and sleep. You don’t have to worry about this matter. I’ll handle the old man.”
“Isn’t he just an ancient immortal? He’s nothing.”
“I’ve already found a clue to my second life from the memories of the third life. The source of that clue is related to the Brilliant Heaven God Race.”
“So I’m going to make a trip to the place where the Brilliant Heaven God Race is sealed.”
“I’ll find my second life there. At that time… as the eldest senior brother, I’ll support the sky!”
Erniu proudly patted Xu Qing’s shoulder.
“It’s too dangerous for you there. After all, if you die, you’ll really die, unlike me.”
“So this time, I won’t take you with me.”
“Little Qing, be obedient and go to the Summer Immortal Palace. Believe me, in thirty years, Master and I will wake you up.”
Erniu looked into Xu Qing’s eyes and spoke seriously.
“If you don’t go, I’ll be worried.”
Xu Qing fell silent. After a long time, he nodded.
“I’ll send you off first. It’s on the way anyway.” Erniu thought about it and didn’t give Xu Qing any time. He pulled him straight to the teleportation array and used the array formation to return to the human capital.
The seal on the Brilliant Heaven God Race he was going to was just below the human capital.
On the way, Xu Qing remained silent until Erniu forcefully sent him to the temple of the Summer Immortal Palace. After that, he sent out a greeting. The gate opened and after seeing the Summer Immortal Palace Master, Erniu spoke loudly.
“Senior, I won’t go. My junior brother will go.”
As he spoke, he pushed Xu Qing in.
Through the gate of the temple, Xu Qing looked at Erniu.
Erniu laughed.
“Alright, Junior Brother, see you in 30 years.”
As he spoke, Erniu’s body blurred and disappeared.
As for the gate of the temple, it silently closed and the temple became blurry.
Several days later, when the temple completely disappeared, Erniu withdrew his concealed state and his heart finally calmed down.
“He is finally obedient for once, I can be at ease now.”
As he mumbled, Erniu took a deep breath and madness appeared in his eyes. He turned and headed straight for the entrance of the seal of the Brilliant Heaven God Race.
He had his own way to head to the Brilliant Heaven God Race through there.
Just as Erniu was on his way, the temple that had disappeared reappeared in the rain.
It was extremely blurry, as though it would dissipate at any moment.
The gate opened.
Xu Qing’s figure walked out.
Behind him, the voice of the Summer Immortal Palace Master echoed.
“Are you sure you don’t want to go to the Immortal Source to sleep?”
“I’m not going.”
Xu Qing spoke softly.
The Summer Immortal Palace Master stared at Xu Qing and didn’t persuade him anymore. The gate closed and the temple completely disappeared.
Only Xu Qing stood in the rain.
He knew that everyone was preparing for the thirty years period that the Sword Holding Great Emperor had fought for.
His master was cultivating in seclusion.
Eldest Senior Brother headed to Brilliant Heaven to risk his life.
After the Empress returned a month ago, she went to the ghost cave in the Yinghuang Province.
It wasn’t just the human race. The other races were the same.
All the capable people were making their own preparations.
“Thirty years…”
Xu Qing raised his head and looked in the direction of the outer sea.
His eyes revealed a hint of determination..
