Novel Full With fingertips gentle touching, Luo Jianqing lowered his head and kissed Xuan Lingzi’s lips. All were fake in the phantasm. However, Luo Jianqing felt it real. The touching of the lips was soft and gentle. It had Sir Xuan Lingzi’s love. Although all the emotions were confined in the Yu Xiao Peak, just like what Xuan Lingzi said, the respected immortal hadn’t broken the mortal bond.
The next moment, all the phantasm vanished.
Tremendous energy burst out from Luo Jianqing. The power transformed into a whip, releasing energy into its surroundings. Whipping and striking, Luo Jianqing twisted the whole dimension. A roaring sound came out from the firmament. There was thunder hidden in the clouds but never really hit the ground.
“In chaos we born; over wrong and right we bring; but who’s in the position to say which is right or not”.
“They say heartless lead to immortal. They say indifference is the basic of cultivation”.
“Then what is immortal and what is cultivation?!”
“My fate is controlled by myself, not by God! The bond linking me and my parents, I won’t let go of it! The bond linking me to my master, I won’t let go of it as well!”
“Nine Heavenly Seizure Record! The Third Seizure – Seizing Right and Wrong!”
Boom!
Ferocious spiritual power flooded out over the whole Gu Village then converged with the Luo River.
Surprisingly, nothing was hurt nor taken away by that enormous power. Instead, it stroked over all the creatures that existed in the world, studying and observing everything as if it was eager to know what was truly right and what was truly wrong.
But that was a question which remained unanswered for tens of thousands of years.
Standing in the rain, Luo Jianqing looked up at the sky. In that very moment, the rain suddenly stopped, but the clouds were still shrouding over.
Something that had lost in him for a quite long time emerged again. Entangled Luo Jianqing for forty-one years, this strong emotion was ignited by his parents, who gave him flesh and blood, and Luo Jianqing could never put that into disdain. Hatred or complain, it was what Luo Jianqing had to carry on himself; it was his decision to choose whether or not to break their bond.
Luo Jianqing stood in front of the tomb for forty-one days, as if he was trying to mend what he missed for forty-one years. When he finally turned away from the graveyard, he was still the son of Gu Qi and his wife because these two had struggled to live for another three years just for him. They abandoned Luo Jianqing in the Luo River, but they were also the people who saved him from drowning. Although there was a gap of forty-one-years separation between Luo Jianqing’s parents and himself, Gu Qi and his wife still took care of Luo Jianqing for forty days.
Luo Jianqing took out the money that was hidden under the bed when he came back to the house and gave the money away to every household in the village and his brother-in-law. He left while the man was still trying to figure out what was going on.
When Luo Jianqing reached the exit of the village, a beautiful girl rushed towards him, couldn’t care less about her reputation among the villagers.
Holding a vivid red flower in her hand, the girl was crying. She wiped out the tears and gave the flower to Luo Jianqing who was looking every movement of her and smiled, “Are you the sixteenth girl who was born in the Gu Village?”
“I am the only one in the village ranked as the sixteenth girl.”
Luo Jianqing laughed with relief as if he knew something already.
Pulling out a white jade hairpin from his Interspatial Ring, Luo Jianqing helped Gu Sixteen to wear this gorgeous accessory. The girl was so happy that her fingertips were shivering with delight, but Luo Jianqing said, “I’m not your true love. Somebody once told me that it is her own business to love me, and that business has nothing to do with me. So now I only want to tell you that I’m not the one, but if you insist, I won’t clear your memory.”
Widened her eyes, Gu Sixteen said, “you……you are indeed an immortal!”
“Sixteen, you will understand that I’m not the one when you met your true love.”
Leaving this sentence, Luo Jianqing used his spiritual power to leave the village and flew up to the sky.
For a whole day, Gu Sixteen gazed at the direction where Luo Jianqing went. At last, she went home with tears hanging on her eyelashes. She didn’t know that many years later she would hold her grandson in her arms and smile with content, saying “actually, a long time ago, grandma liked someone once, but I fear that ‘like’ was only remained as ‘like’, not ‘love’, for if I did love that man, I would take pains to follow him no matter what it takes, not like what I did – stood there for only one day.”
In fact, every cause had an effect. All was determined by fate. There was no coincidence but only causality.
When Luo Jianqing came back to the Tai Hua Mountain, all the young disciples were stunned and looked at him with disbelief, and finally started to shout, “it’s Luo Jianqing! He comes back! You finally come back!”
This good news was spread all over the Tai Hua Mountain in less than half an hour. Many elders and apprentices came to check if Luo Jianqing really came back. Luo Jianqing thanked their warm welcome and then flew to the Cang Shuang Peak to report to the Master.
When Luo Jianqing flew away, an elder was shocked by what he sensed from this senior apprentice, “wait……is it true that Jianqing already reached to the Nascent Soul Period?”
“It is! It’s the Nascent Soul Period!”
“OMG, the senior disciple cultivated for only forty-one years. I can’t believe somebody could make it.”
“Master Xuan Lingzi made it when he was fifty-six years old. Luo Jianqing is only forty-one. It’s impossible!”
At the moment Luo Jianqing came back to the Tai Hua Mountain, the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows turned into a golden beam and suddenly flew to the Yu Xiao Peak. Pretended he couldn’t care less about that peak, Luo Jianqing said nothing but gazed at the light.
He met the master when he arrived at the Cang Shuang Peak.
Hao Xingzi asked what happened after he was swallowed by the ghost drift sands and how did he manage to come out while the gate of the Liu Yan Valley was closed. Luo Jianqing answered every question the master asked but hid the truth that Mo Qiu was a Fiend Cultivator.
Hao Xingzi sighed, “after all, that was the grave of a Heaven Level Demon Exalt. It would be strange if everything there went on normal. Jianqing, you’d better hurry up to the Yu Xiao Peak. While you were gone, your master had made the whole Four Sects and Eight Clans into chaos.”
Luo Jianqing was surprised to hear that, “master, can you tell me exactly what is going on?”
“When the Liu Yan Valley was opened, the gate didn’t close for three days, but you remained missing. Seeing the gate closed again while you still didn’t show up, Master Shan was worried about you. Then we heard some cultivators saying that you and another one from the Mo Family were swallowed by the ghost drift sands. Though we knew you were still alive – signed by your Life Lantern – your master still lost control and went ballistic. He hurt the people sent by the Duan Hun Sect, Fei Hua Sect, Bai Family, Yun Family, and Mo Family who came here to help explain what happened to you.”
Hearing what was said by Hao Xingzi, Luo Jianqing said these words unconsciously, “master, I have a question that I don’t know if it is appropriate for me to ask: is it true that my master……is sick?”
Silence fulfilled the palace for a long time. Hao Xingzi sighed, “the first disciple of the Tai Hua Mountain, Luo Jianqing, do you have a slight idea how much did your master has done for you?”
