Novel Full A green light was flowing on the center of the cave bottom like a swimming fish.
Then, one came after another.
Ultimately, numerous “fishes” converged at the center, giving out dazzling glare. When Luo Jianqing and Mo Qiu opened their eyes again, an old skeletal figure was standing right in front of them.
Mo Qiu was shocked by this scene, yet Luo Jianqing seemed to be enlightened. He walked to that skeletal cultivator and suddenly knelt, kowtowing three times.
In his last incarnation, he had kowtowed before Mo Qing, and then absorbed the remaining power of his body. Now he did that again, still three kowtows, just to express his gratitude for the lifesaver of the last life.
Before Luo Jianqing stood up, he heard a low, deep sigh tinted with a bit of pleasure.
That voice was slow, gentle and graceful, with a rising tone towards the end, like a fine jade. Luo Jianqing raised his head with astonishment, while Mo Qiu also narrowed his eyes and gazed at this abrupt figure.
Before they could realize it, a handsome and elegant man in green had shown up beside that skeletal figure, with an indigo jade hairpin in his thick black hair. Words could not express his beauty, not like that of Mo Qiu, whose beauty was the best combination of the characteristics of man and woman, or like that of Luo Jianqing, whose beauty was almost perfect. His beauty was noble, detached, and ethereal.
He lowered his tender eyes and looked at Luo Jianqing.
The latter was gazing at him in shock without any words for a long time.
At last, the man smiled first and asked, “Why did you kowtow three times in front of me?” The dreamlike voice was ringing like the music from heaven.
Luo Jianqing was still kneeling on the ground in surprise. Hearing that, he asked subconsciously, “… Sir Mo Qing?”
The man in green didn’t answer but asked again.
Luo Jianqing stood up and paid respect, “Sir, there is something too complicated to explain, but as my senior, you deserve my prostration. I didn’t expect that I would meet you here. I’m the disciple of Yu Xiao Peak, Tai Hua Mountain, and this is…” After a pause, Luo Jianqing turned sideways to introduce Mo Qiu, “This is my best friend, Mo Qiu.”
That man was a little baffled and furrowed his slim eyebrows. He looked up at Mo Qiu, while Mo Qiu was also gazing at him. They didn’t speak at first, yet before the man started, Mo Qiu said, “My ancestor.”
Exactly, just as that man showed up in the cave bottom, Luo Jianqing had already known who he was-
Mo Qing.
Who could have such a graceful and ethereal bearing except Mo Qing? The man in front of them was just a consciousness, not even a ghost, but powerful enough to give pressure on Luo Jianqing’s primordial life. Only a person like him could forge an unwavering friendship with Supreme Master Jiu Lian thirty thousand years ago. They cultivated hand in hand and travelled through the Xuan Tian Continent together. They stood at the top among all talents!
Luo Jianqing hadn’t met the consciousness of Mo Qing in his last life. So, it was likely that Li Xiuchen met it. Unfortunately, the book Seeking Immortality didn’t elaborate it.
Mo Qing looked at Mo Qiu silently with a smile.
Luo Jianqing didn’t notice anything unusual between them. He said with great respect, “Sir, I’ve learned something about you by chance. Now I bring him here to so that you can meet your descendent. Currently, there is widespread disorder in the world. The collapse of the Ku Mountain caused great casualties, and the battle between humans and demons may break out at any moment. I hope you can help him.”
Mo Qing’s light-colored eyes turned to Luo Jianqing, but he was still smiling without a word.
That made Luo Jianqing a little bit anxious. The clock was ticking. Although Luo Jianqing would like to appreciate him and he knew well the relationship between him and Sir Jiu Lian, he couldn’t afford more time to talk about old times.
According to Seeking Immortality, Li Xiuchen got the relic of Mo Qing effortlessly, but why did it become so difficult when Mo Qing met his descendant?”
Luo Jianqing was confused. Just before he repeated what he had said, Mo Qing opened his mouth with a smile, “I could smell him on you.”
Luo Jianqing raised his eyes with astonishment.
Mo Qing closed his beautiful eyes and seemed to smell the air with affection. No one knew what he was feeling. Mo Qing curled his lips and wore a tender but also bitter smile. Then he fixed his clear, light green eyes on Luo Jianqing. Mo Qiu said with a soft voice, “I expected that, you must have practiced True Nine-Petaled Lotus Record as his disciple.”
Hearing that, Luo Jianqing was terrified and hurriedly explained, “Sir, there is good reason for it. I once practiced True Nine-Petaled Lotus Record, and I am the disciple of Yu Xiao Peak indeed!”
Mo Qing ignored what he had said and smiled, “Nine-Petaled Lotus Heavenly Seizure Record, there must be a bond to guide you to practice it.”
Boom!
Luo Jianqing was stunned by his words. “Nine-Petaled Lotus Heavenly Seizure Record”, those five words resounded in his mind for a long time.
What was Nine-Petaled Lotus Heavenly Seizure Record?
What he practiced was Nine Heavenly Seizure…
Mo Qing flickered his sleeve, which arced gracefully in the air, and then a simple Interspatial Ring appeared in front of Luo Jianqing. Just an Interspatial Ring, and nothing else. Nevertheless, the ring was giving out bright rays and vague pressure.
Mo Qing’s voice became fading.
“I just lived for four thousand two hundred and twenty-seven years. I spent my first one thousand year defying all kinds of perils for Mo’s Family and reached the Deity Transformation Period. On my celebration feast, I got acquainted with your Supreme Master, and since then, we had practiced and traveled jointly.”
“Your supreme master was an unconventional man, a real peerless talent. He perceived the law of nature at the age of three thousand, and thus started his journey towards deity transformation.
“The disciple of Yu Xiao Peak, since you practice Nine-Petaled Lotus Heavenly Seizure Record, you have forged your first bond with the nine-petaled lotus; today, you have met me and forge your second bond with me. I don’t know the Ku Mountain, nor the Northern Land of Arctic, but I know that if you have witnessed the collapse of that range, you have forged the third bond with me as well as the nine-petaled lotus.”
“Since you have obtained three bonds, I will give you this Interspatial Ring. When you open it, you will know everything. However… I hope that you won’t use it in your whole life.”
Mo Qing raised his hand and the ring fell into the palm of Luo Jianqing. Then, he turned to Mo Qiu, who had been on high alert and even held his blood whip. If Mo Qing said anything inappropriate, Mo Qiu would attack him.
Seeing that, another warm smile appeared on Mo Qing’s fair face, “My young friend, since we meet here, I would like give you a bond too so as to help you achieve breakthrough soon and end the million-times reincarnation.
As he finished, a white light appeared on the forehead of Mo Qiu. The light was like a bolt of lightning, plunging into his glabella within a blink, while Mo Qiu had no time to stop it. That made him stupefied.
After all these, Mo Qing’s figure further faded.
Luo Jianqing asked immediately, “Sir, I don’t understand what you just said. Why do you mean by referring to that range? Have you anticipated the collapse of the Ku Mountain? My master has been trapped there, can you…”
“Shush!” Mo Qing lifted his finger and put it on his lips which seemed to have been drained of blood. His slim fingers were like white jade, too clear to see any veins, as if they were illusions.
He gazed at Luo Jianqing gently. Seeing that, Luo Jianqing was loath to say anything; he bit his tongue.
His eyes were full of deep attachment.
They were like a clear blue lake. The sun, glinting on the lake, decorated the shimmering waves; the spring breeze, blowing from the distance, rippled the surface of the lake. His eyes were so profound, yet by no means gloomy. Instead, they rendered others comfort and happiness, unwilling to break it.
Luo Jianqing felt a little bit dizzy, and his eyesight was blurry. Before he lost consciousness, Luo Jianqing stretched out his hand despite himself and said in a low voice, “You…”
