Chapter 588: Leaving Silently
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Phew…” Taking a deep breath, Ye Qiu was still in shock and felt a lingering fear. This G.o.dslayer Sword was too terrifying. It had already injured someone before it was unsheathed.
At least so far, Ye Qiu wasn’t qualified to use this weapon. At the very least, he had to reach the Dao Sacrificial realm to have the qualifications to use it. Although it was a pity, it wasn’t unacceptable. At the very least, Ye Qiu now had the Heavenly Evil Sword and the Overlord Halberd. Overall, it was enough.
After putting away the holy sword, Ye Qiu let out a long sigh of relief. He was exhausted after a day. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, Linglong ran to Ye Qiu’s room early and waited, wanting Ye Qiu to bring her out to play. Perhaps the little girl was afraid that her master would slip away without saying a word, so she ran to her master’s door early in the morning to guard it.
Ye Qiu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her reaction. He was very gratified.
!!
In the following days, Ye Qiu finally relaxed. He accompanied his disciples on the mountain to cultivate and brought them to travel the Great Desolate World.
The quiet and steady days pa.s.sed quickly.
This morning, it was snowing heavily. Violet Cloud Peak was covered in snow. The cold wind of winter blew, causing one’s face to hurt and be bone-chilling. Her entire body was wrapped in a thick cotton robe. Early in the morning, Linglong’s pet.i.te body quickly pa.s.sed through the square and headed straight for the Qianqing Hall.
“Huu, huu…” She panted heavily, her white breath almost turning into frost. Linglong’s face was red from the cold. She tidied up the snow on her body in the hall and looked into the depths of the hall.
Unlike before, the hall today was exceptionally quiet. There was no sound at all. Linglong frowned and had an ominous feeling.
“Master?” Out of habit, she called out, but there was no response. Linglong was very confused. She silently walked to the back hall and arrived outside Ye Qiu’s room. She gently pushed open the door. The inside was already empty.
Linglong’s body trembled. At that moment, she suddenly understood that her master had left in the end. Just as she was feeling down, a white figure appeared behind her and gently hugged her without saying a word. The depressed Linglong turned around and looked at her senior sister, her tears flowing.
“Alright, Linglong, don’t cry. Master is gone, but there’s still Senior Sister.” Lin Qingzhu comforted her softly. Actually, how could she not be sad? Originally, according to usual practice, she should be preaching to Little Mengli at this time. However, for some reason, when she woke up today, she suddenly felt disappointed, as if she had lost something important. The smart her instantly understood something, so she came to the Qianqing Hall.
Just as she had guessed, Ye Qiu still left without saying goodbye. He was afraid that they would be sad, so he chose to leave without saying goodbye and returned to the Upper Realm last night.
Lin Qingzhu was very envious as she looked at Linglong, who could vent her emotions freely. Many times, she also wanted to vent her emotions. However, she could not vent her anger like a little girl. She had to bear something. This was her responsibility.
“Senior Sister, Master is lying! He said he wouldn’t leave. Master is a big liar.” Linglong said with a sobbing tone.
Lin Qingzhu gently stroked her head and comforted her, “Linglong, Master is not a big liar. You can’t say that about him. Linglong is already an adult. You can’t throw a tantrum anymore. Master is going to the Heavens alone to open a path for us to prepare for our safe ascension in the future.”
Hearing her senior sister’s explanation, Linglong’s mood improved. She said pitifully, “Really?”
Lin Qingzhu nodded with a smile and said, “Of course it’s true. Linglong, be good and cultivate well. When you become strong enough, you can go to the Heavens to help Master.”
Her guidance gave Linglong a huge motivation. She clenched her fists and looked full of energy. She said firmly, “Alright, Linglong will definitely cultivate well and strive to ascend as soon as possible to help Master beat people up.”
Hearing this, Lin Qingzhu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she finally calmed her down.
A cold wind blew. In the misty snow, the wind chime tree swayed with the wind and stood alone in the cold wind.
Zhao Wan’er stood alone under the tree in red. She looked at the immortal cranes flying across the sky and felt melancholic. She did not choose to enter the hall and talk to her senior sister. Instead, she remained silent and looked at the sky in a daze.
After a long time, she returned to her room and began her day of cultivation. Time waited for no one. In such an era of great compet.i.tion, everyone was racing against time to ascend as soon as possible. It was useless no matter how much she sighed. It was better to focus more on cultivation and strive to catch up to her senior sister as soon as possible.
The world was peaceful. Winter pa.s.sed and the Great Desolate World had a hundred things to do. It was only when spring arrived that it gradually revealed its exuberant vitality. All living beings woke up from their sleep, crawled out of their cave abodes, and began to forage for food and cultivate. Everything seemed to be thriving. The forest was incomparably lively. On the wasteland, a hundred beasts crossed the border and began their hunting journey.
Everything had already begun to get on track. There was no calamity in the world, and everything had revived.
At this moment, in the sky, Ye Qiu strolled through the void alone. The moment he stepped through the Heavenly Gate, he appeared in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and returned to the divine mountain.
After returning to the Heaven Mending Pavilion, Ye Qiu wasn’t in a hurry to return to his training hall. Instead, he came to Star Picking Pavilion and personally visited the First Elder.
At the Star Picking Pavilion, Ye Qiu sighed with emotion as he looked at the white-haired old man above. He was still sitting cross-legged in the void like before, as if he was comprehending the sun, moon, stars, Great Dao techniques, and the profundities of life.
Seeing Ye Qiu come, Meng Tianzheng slowly opened his eyes and revealed an amiable smile.
“Did you gain any insights from this trip to the mortal world?” Meng Tianzheng teased. This time, Ye Qiu’s descent into the lower realm had caused too much of a commotion. If he hadn’t helped with all his might, those old monsters in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands would probably have noticed his existence.
It was said that geniuses were easy to die. If one exposed their talent too much before they had enough strength to ensure their safety, they would only fall into a perilous situation.
Ye Qiu’s brilliance was too great. Fortunately, he had Meng Tianzheng’s protection, so he could walk so smoothly. He naturally understood this principle and knew very well what Meng Tianzheng had done for him. While he was grateful, he answered Meng Tianzheng’s question.
“The Immortal Dao is uncertain. Under the myriad worlds, we are just a speck of dust in the sea, insignificant. There’s a sky above the sky and a person above. The path ahead is long and there’s still a long way for me to go. Thank you for your protection, First Elder. Otherwise, I would have died long ago.” Ye Qiu smiled and replied.
