Chapter 421: Accompany You for a Long Time
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Another two months pa.s.sed. Under the Heavenly Emperor’s orders, three True G.o.d Stage experts went to visit the three top factions. They also used the Heavenly Palace’s name to reconstruct the territory of the various factions in the Inner Realm.
One had to know that even the three top factions only had one True G.o.d Stage expert. Three True G.o.d Stage experts were enough to easily flatten them.
Most importantly, these three True G.o.d Stage experts were the “masters” of the leaders of the three top factions. They knew the other party’s divine abilities and cultivation techniques very well and had absolute suppression.
As mentioned before, a large part of the reason why the three top factions were able to rise quickly was because of the Divine Seal Altar, including the leaders of the three top factions.
If they had not successfully pa.s.sed the nine tests and obtained the True G.o.d Stage inheritance, it would have been impossible for them to step into the True G.o.d Stage so easily.
As for the three True G.o.d Stage experts sent out by the Heavenly Emperor, they were the original bodies of the three remnant souls that pa.s.sed down the inheritance to the three top factions.
Facing their “master”, the leaders of the three top factions naturally did not dare to resist. Moreover, there were dozens of similar experts in the Heavenly Palace. These factions would absolutely not provoke them unless they were tired of living.
If even the three top factions were like this, then there was even less of a need to talk about the middle-tier factions and low-tier factions.
Therefore, under the power of the Heavenly Palace, the internal strife in the Inner Realm was completely changed. Many of the unspoken rules that had previously been unanimously broken were all broken.
During this time, there were a few stubborn small factions that wanted to form an alliance to resist the Heavenly Palace. In the end, before the Heavenly Palace could make a move, they were killed by those cultivators who wanted to curry favor with the Heavenly Palace.
In fact, the Heavenly Emperor did not plan to rule the Inner Realm, nor did he have any intention of recruiting disciples. He only wanted the Inner Realm to temporarily stabilize and to stop frequent wars.
This was especially true because the war between the White Dragon Race and the Martial Sacred Hall had already caused countless experts to die and more than a thousand worlds to be destroyed. If they were allowed to continue fighting, the Inner Realm would sooner or later turn into ruins.
Of course, Qin Jue had never been interested in these things. When there was a storm in the Inner Realm, he was taking Su Yan and Yun Xi out on trips, relaxed and content.
“Ha, I haven’t been back in a long time.”
At the edge of the cliff, Qin Jue lay down on his back and stretched lazily. He couldn’t help but sigh.
It had been almost half a year since he had moved to the Divine Realm. This was the first time Qin Jue had returned to the cliff. Because the blue stone had also been moved to the Divine Realm, the cliff now seemed somewhat empty. The distant courtyard was also covered in dust, and no one had lived there for a long time.
It wasn’t just the cliff. Almost no one could be seen anywhere else. Bai Ye and the other core higher-ups were basically all in seclusion in the Divine Realm, leaving only some outer sect elders and disciples behind.
The First Elder, w.a.n.g Quan, would occasionally come to patrol to prevent any accidents from happening.
As for Long Zhui and the husky, they were put into Qin Jue’s small world. Compared to the Divine Realm, that place was more suitable for them.
Looking at the blue Heavenly Palace above his head, Qin Jue’s expression was absent-minded, with an indescribable feeling.
He suddenly recalled the scene eleven years ago when he had just transmigrated to the Spirit Central World.
At that time, Qin Jue was very scared. He knew nothing about this world and had no idea how to survive. He was extremely desperate.
The next day, he encountered an old man who wanted to take him in as a disciple. The old man brought him to the Xuanyi Mountain Sect and he also became the youngest uncle-grandmaster in the history of the sect.
The story began there.
In the blink of an eye, eleven years had pa.s.sed. Qin Jue had already become the strongest expert in the myriad realms and was invincible.
Perhaps this was where the story should end.
“Senior Brother, what are you thinking about?”
Su Yan walked over and lay beside Qin Jue.
At this moment, Su Yan had already recovered her Supreme Stage cultivation. However, she had yet to completely stabilize it, but the wind and lightning energy in her body was even purer and incomparably fierce than when she was in the Thunder Breeze Sect.
“Nothing.”
Shaking his head, Qin Jue said meaningfully, “I feel like I’m dreaming.”
Su Yan was stunned for a moment before she smiled. “Me too.”
After a pause, she added, “If it’s a dream, then I hope I never wake up.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yan lightly kissed Qin Jue. How could she not be worried that all of this was only happening because she was dreaming?
“Never wake up…”
Qin Jue muttered to himself and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Indeed, he was too unreasonable.
At this moment, Yun Xi suddenly fell from the sky and landed straight on Qin Jue. “Hmph, Master is lying. You clearly promised to accompany me today.”
After learning for four consecutive months, Yun Xi had already learned all the knowledge about the “Nine Heaven Transformations” from the Heavenly Emperor, as well as all kinds of divine abilities and cultivation techniques. Her cultivation had even reached the middle-phase of the Legendary Stage and she could even challenge Saint Stage experts.
Qin Jue :”…”
“Why don’t we cook together?”
Seeing this, Su Yan changed the topic.
“Sure, sure!”
Hearing that there was something to eat, Yun Xi instantly forgot about Qin Jue accompanying her and nodded repeatedly.
In this way, the three of them chatted and laughed as they cooked delicacies. Qin Jue was in charge of catching fiend beasts, Yun Xi was in charge of raising the fire, and Su Yan was in charge of making the food.
Not long after, a dense fragrance spread from the cliff. Plates of delicacies were made, making one feel intoxicated.
Qin Jue took out the spirit wine and raised his cup to drink with Yun Xi and Su Yan before wolfing down the delicacies.
An hour later, the two of them were full. Among them, Su Yan and Yun Xi fell down drunk as mud. Only Qin Jue remained awake and unhurriedly arrived at the edge of the cliff. He slowly sat down and hummed a song to himself.
After an unknown period of time, the sun set. Rainbow clouds hung on the horizon like silk, dying the entire world red. It was exceptionally beautiful.
“Master, I finally found you.”
s.p.a.ce distorted as Killing Dao walked out.
“What is it?”
Qin Jue frowned.
“Cough cough, after delaying for so long, it’s time for me to enter seclusion.”
Rubbing his hands, Killing Dao was slightly embarra.s.sed. “I want to enter that small world again.”
Because she wanted to compete with Su Yan for the right to cook, Killing Dao had been studying delicacies with all her might, so she had completely forgotten about her seclusion.
Now, it seemed that Killing Dao could be considered to have won a perfect victory in terms of delicacies.
But in other aspects, she had lost miserably!
“Uh… okay.”
Qin Jue smiled bitterly. He raised his hand and waved it lightly, putting Killing Dao into the small world.
He believed that this time, Killing Dao should successfully step into the upper realm True G.o.d Stage.
“Senior Brother.”
At some point, Su Yan had already woken up and sat down against Qin Jue.
“Yeah.”
Qin Jue continued to hum a song.
“Senior Brother, what are you singing?”
Su Yan was curious. Although she couldn’t understand Qin Jue’s songs every time, they could still always resonate with her.
“To spend the long years with you.”
Qin Jue smiled.
“I’ll accompany you in turning the sourness of your longing into warmth.”
“I’ll accompany you in the story that we write together.”
“How long will the future be? How long will it be? There’s still hope.”
“Accompany you until the end of the story.”
“…”
In a way, this song simply matched Qin Jue and Su Yan’s experience perfectly.
Therefore, after hearing it a few times, Su Yan sang along.
“I’ll accompany you on your journey and live to see the answer.”
“I’ll accompany you and turn loneliness into courage.”
“I lost it again and again, but I never left.”
“Companions.h.i.+p is the most powerful confession.”
“…”
At the edge of the cliff, under the setting sun, the two figures leaning against each other formed a beautiful scene that gradually froze.
