Chapter 48: The Holy Maiden as the ‘Audience’

“Chen Qianxue should have gone back, right?”

Bai Yi could sense a part of Chen Qianxue’s location through the Immortal Cultivation Simulator.

He found that Chen Qianxue was already very far away from Qinghe County.

It was actually a good thing for Bai Yi that she left Qinghe County.

After all…

Many of Bai Yi’s Cultivation Methods were familiar to Chen Qianxue. These Cultivation Methods came from the rewards of the Immortal Cultivation Simulator.

Under such circumstances… If he used a certain Cultivation Method and Chen Qianxue happened to see him again…

How could he explain it? How could he hide it?

[Age 20, Chen Qianxue refreshed a brand-new newborn talent. This time, she felt that ‘Time Reversal’ was useless. This was because she had replaced this new talent several times, but it did not trigger its effects. She tried to choose the new talent ‘Dragon King’.]

[Chen Qianxue found that as long as she was upset, others would treat her much better. This made her surprised at the new talent of the Immortal Cultivation Simulator.]

[Age 30, Chen Qianxue is cultivating diligently.]

[Age 50, Chen Qianxue returned to the Sky-holding Sect and received a large amount of cultivation resources. After that, she left the Sky-holding Sect to continue her experiential learning.]

[Age 80, Chen Qianxue, who has already reached the eighth level of the Qi Refinement stage, returned to the Sky-holding Sect. This time, she especially went to take a look at the Demon-sealing Tower. She also kindly informed the Elder guarding the Demon-sealing Tower that the seal was very likely to be loosened. When you realize that the Elder doesn’t care, you know that you have no right to speak, and your influence was too small.]

[Age 100, while Chen Qianxue was out training, she passed by a sect that specialized in refining pills. She discovered that the sect was experiencing a calamity, but Chen Qianxue chose to turn a blind eye.]

[Age 120, Chen Qianxue asked her Junior Sister Hou Yingyun to help her find a spirit herb that was extremely difficult to find. Although Hou Yingyun was puzzled, she still agreed.]

[Age 121, the demon broke through the seal of the Demon-sealing Tower. The Sky-holding Sect is in grave danger, but the sect is unable to contact Chen Qianxue no matter what.]

[Hou Yingyun wants to rush back to the sect, but the journey is too far.]

[Age 122, when the news of the Sky-holding Sect’s destruction reached her ears, Chen Qianxue’s expression was neither sad nor happy. Only she herself knew of the waves of emotions in her heart.]

[…]

When Bai Yi saw this, he realized that not only had Chen Qianxue become more cautious, but she was also watching everything that had happened and experienced from the perspective of a bystander.

This time…

Chen Qianxue chose to only watch and not interfere. Even if something big happened, she would not interfere.

Even if her own sect was destroyed, she ignored it.

She was more like an audience who did not participate in the plot.

She ignored everything that happened and waited for everything to end.

Regarding this… Bai Yi gave a thumbs up!

He did not really care what kind of psychological change Chen Qianxue, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Sword Sect, would have.

What he cared about was whether Chen Qianxue could live longer and become stronger.

As for whether the Sky-holding Sect was dead or alive? What did it have to do with him?

The point was… Bai Yi knew very well that it would be useless even if Chen Qianxue returned to the Sky-holding Sect.

That Demon had glared at Chen Qianxue to death the last time.

What was she going to do in such a situation? Just roll over and die?

If Bai Yi could interfere with Chen Qianxue’s thoughts, he would ask her not to protect her Junior Sister. If it was not for that Junior Sister Hou Yingyun, he felt that Chen Qianxue would have had more room to perform.

…

In the Immortal Cultivation Simulator.

Chen Qianxue, who was already 122 years old, still looked exactly the same as when she was in her prime. However, her beautiful eyes no longer had the spirit that was unique to young girls. Instead, they had an additional charm.

Every year, she would receive a large amount of resources from the Sky-holding Sect, and her Master had given her a lot of help.

Now, she could only watch the destruction of the Sky-holding Sect.

To be honest, Chen Qianxue felt that she could not live with her conscience.

However, she had already chosen to watch everything from the sidelines, and she could not change anything.

“Is this the helplessness of a low-level Immortal cultivator?”

Chen Qianxue could not help but laugh.

Being able to protect Hou Yingyun’s life seemed to be the limit of what she could do.

As for becoming enemies with that demon? Sorry, she did not have the qualifications.

Chen Qianxue knew that the demon was mighty.

It was very likely that he was above the Nascent Soul stage.

As for her? She was only in the tenth level of the Qi Refinement stage!

“Why do I feel like I’ve become the nemesis of the sect? When I stayed in the Immortal Ascension Sect, it didn’t take long for the sect to fall into internal strife. When I stayed in the Sky-holding Sect, after more than a hundred years, the Sky-holding Sect was simply annihilated.”

“This kind of bad luck, it won’t affect the Spirit Sword Sect in the real world, right?”

As soon as these words fell, Chen Qianxue shut up.

What if the prophecy came true? She would have a headache.

Trying hard to get rid of the distracting thoughts in her mind, Chen Qianxue knew that it was useless to think so much. If she wanted to get rid of all of this as soon as possible, the only way was to become stronger.

[Age 123, Chen Qianxue discovered that the demon who destroyed the Sky-holding Sect seemed to have disappeared. She knew that the other party couldn’t have died. It was very likely that he was planning something. However, she knew that it was useless for her, a small immortal cultivator, to worry about these things. If the sky was falling, she would let those tall people take the lead.]

[Age 125, Chen Qianxue and Hou Yingyun met again. The two of them sighed at the destruction of the Sky-holding Sect. Hou Yingyun suggested that the two of them establish a sect, but Chen Qianxue declined.]

[Age 126, Chen Qianxue attempted to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Perhaps it was because of the goddess of luck that she succeeded in breaking through to the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage!]

[Age 130, Junior Sister Hou Yingyun founded a sect by herself. You feel happy for her from the bottom of your heart. You feel regretful that the fledgling that needed her protection back then has already become a hawk.]

[For some unknown reason, a myriad of distracting thoughts arose in your heart. No matter what, you can’t get rid of them.]

[Age 140, she felt her meridians swell up. Chen Qianxue didn’t choose to break through. Instead, she continued to stabilize her cultivation.]

[Age 150, Hou Yingyun came to invite Chen Qianxue. She wanted Chen Qianxue to become the First Elder of her sect. This time, Chen Qianxue thought for a few days. She didn’t reject and agreed.]

[Age 155, after learning that Hou Yingyun had broken through to the tenth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, Chen Qianxue lamented that her bone structure wasn’t bad.]

[Age 160, for some reason, Chen Qianxue has been feeling particularly anxious.]

[…]

Seeing the Holy Maiden reach this step, Bai Yi already had a bad premonition.

He could see that Chen Qianxue had abandoned the guilt in her heart and could not forget it.

The cultivation world in the Immortal Cultivation Simulator…

In Chen Qianxue’s eyes, it was already an exceptionally real world.

Chen Qianxue had some feelings for the Sky-holding Sect. Even though she could not return to the sect several times a year, her Master had taught her well, and she enjoyed many of the sect’s resources.

She clearly knew that a disaster was coming, and also clearly knew the future direction.

However, she did not do anything.

It made her…

Confused.
