One hour later, Luo Jianqing got out of the Ling Yun Hall. He was in a hurry. Before flew up to the sky, he heard a gentle voice sounded behind him, “senior disciple Luo, you do come back.”
Luo Jianqing stopped to turn back.
He saw Zuo Yunmo who was wearing a light-colored robe with Qing Yun Sword hanging on the waist. Smiling as the summer breeze, Zuo Yunmo looked exactly the same with dozens of years ago. However, Luo Jianqing didn’t have much time to hang around, so he said, “senior disciple Zuo, it’s been a long time. I’m quite busy right now, so, next time.”
But Zuo Yunmo said, “What are you going to do?”
Luo Jianqing wasn’t expecting the question, but soon he showed a smile to Zuo Yunmo, “I’ve been gone for four years. My Master is surely eager to see me. I must meet him soon and......I have something to tell him.”
An amiable smile was what responding Luo Jianqing.
Looking at Zuo Yunmo’s eyes, Luo Jianqing felt like his senior had seen through him. Luo Jianqing remembered in the last life he met Zuo Yunmo at the arctic for the last time; he remembered, at that time, Zuo Yunmo was looking at him with the same gaze, so profound and so deep.
But something was different. Zuo Yunmo wasn’t smiling when they met at the arctic, while now, he was still smiling.
After a while, Zuo Yunmo said, “Jianqing, several days ago I heard a pair of master and apprentice was kicked out of a sect in Liangzhou. Do you know the reason?”
Luo Jianqing was shocked a little, and asked, “why?”
Zuo Yunmo gazed at the beautiful young man standing before him. He sighed with sorrow glimmered in his eyes, but the emotion disappeared very quickly. At last, he said in calmness, “because that pair of master and apprentice fell into a relationship that never should exist between them.”
Said nothing, Luo Jianqing didn’t have any expression on his face.
Zuo Yunmo kept saying, “Jianqing, I haven’t met you for a long time. I’m impressed that you’ve reached the Nascent Soul Period.”
“You reached the median stage of the Gold Core Period as well.”
“It’s a rare opportunity that we meet each other today. How about we make full use of it and exchange a few moves to see......”
“Senior disciple Zuo, I have to go back to the Yu Xiao Peak.”
Seemed worried a little bit, Zuo Yunmo frowned. He didn’t even follow the formalities, blurting out, “Jianqing, I’m your senior who watched you grow up. I know you, anyhow, you can’t......”
“Brother Yunmo!”
Zuo Yunmo couldn’t utter a word.
He saw Luo Jianqing looking at himself with a fearless smile on his gorgeous face.
Luo Jianqing gazed at his brother, said in a firm voice, “Yunmo, I haven’t called you in this name since I was five years old. I will remember what you said, but I have to go right now. One day, when the right time comes, we can exchange a few movestogether.”
Then Luo Jianqing transformed into a bice light and disappeared in a sudden.
Realized what happened, Zuo Yunmo wobbled a little. Looking up and gazing at the direction where Luo Jianqing went, he shut his lips tight. After a long time, Zuo Yunmo sighed, slowly closed his eyes and relaxed his hand which was gripping the Qing Yun Sword.
At the same time, Luo Jianqing arrived at the Yu Xiao Peak.
Hundreds of Banning Boundary vanished before Luo Jianqing. He made it to the peak as easily as walking on firm earth. When he came to the top of the mountain, he saw that man who was wearing a golden-rimmed white robe. The man was standing in the Garden of Spiritual Herbs and looking at the herbs.
Luo Jianqing had thousands of words to tell him before they actually met, but when Luo Jianqing finally saw him, he couldn’t say a single word.
He still remembered what Sir Hao Xingzi told him in the Ling Yun Hall.
“Do you know why Xuan Lingzi hasn’t played the Yu Xiao Zither for more than a hundred year? Because, although others can get benefit from the music and enhance their cultivation, his own cultivation will be worn down when he plays that instrument. He knows this, Jianqing, but he still played it for you.
“Do you know what makes humans and demons remained in peace for a hundred years? All of the cultivators who have reached beyond the Da Sheng Period know this: the most powerful Heaven Level Demon Exalt has reached the level which equals to the late stage of the Da Sheng Period – even more powerful than the Fiend Exalt Mo Qianqiu! Your Master Xuan Lingzi can defeat it, but he can’t kill it, not to mention the amount of Demon Exalt is twofold of our human Masters!
“All of this is because that, after the war, Xuan Lingzi and the Demon Exalt had a contract which confined Xuan Lingzi at the Tai Hua Mountain, reducing his chance to encounter divine opportunities. On the other hand, stipulating Mo Qianqiu’s Fiend Palace as the border, the four most powerful Demon Exalts have to stay in the demon realm and can never step on the thirty-six continents.
“Xuan Lingzi isn’t supposed to step out of the Tai Hua Mountain, but forty-one years ago, he split half of his Primordial Life out of his body and took you back from the Luo River. Five years ago, he did it again, followed you to Sir Bei Dou’s tomb and came back with impaired body! Four years ago, he split his Primordial Life for the third time and went to the Liu Yan Valley with you.
“Liu Yan Valley is a dangerous place. In the passing years, when the gate was closed, nobody could get out of there. Do you know how severe it would be if half of his Primordial Life was destroyed inside the valley?
“Jianqing, your Master had put in lots of efforts in you. You have to take pains to cultivate. Supreme Spiritual Bone won’t be born into this world again in the next thousand years. If you could reach the Deity Transformation Period within three hundred years like your Master, then our humans......”
Luo Jianqing couldn’t catch what Sir Hao Mingzi said next.
His heart was pounding. All of his Spiritual Power was rushing inside his body with tremendous force. He could see no more, hear no more, what remained in his mind was just “he still played it for you”, “he split his Primordial Life for you” ......
Luo Jianqing couldn’t imagine how painful it is to split the Primordial Life. He never tried that before, but he surely knew how sensitive the Primordial Life could be.
When he reached the Nascent Soul Period at the ninth layer of the Liu Yan Valley, he felt enormous pain when building the Nascent Soul using the spiritual power. He remembered that he couldn’t even control his shivering body. Then how suffering it could be......to split the Primordial Life?
That man followed him to the grave and the Liu Yan Valley......
That man prolonged his parents’ lives for him......
That man stepped out of the Tai Hua Mountain for him no matter how dangerous it was......
‘Wu Yin, if you really did all of these, then, who am I to you!’
Watching his Master in silence, Luo Jianqing stood at the top of the Yu Xiao Peak. He didn’t say a word, just stood there and looked at him.
After a while, Xuan Lingzi turned his body to face him. Frowned a little, Xuan Lingzi said, “What happened to you in the Liu Yan Valley? Why do you come back this late? It’s nice that you’ve reached the Nascent Soul Period, but it’s still too early for you. Your foundation is not quite firm. Remember to keep cultivating and practicing. Don’t drown into your accomplishment.”
Luo Jianqing still kept his mouth shut and didn’t respond.
