Book 7: Chapter 5: Hostage
After Bai Li had eaten, Bai Qiuran asked him to sit cross-legged aside, and then placed his hand on Bai Li’s top, and his Soul Awareness penetrated into Bai Li’s body to check his condition.
The previous teaching was just Bai Qiuran indirectly raising so points, and then Bai Li cultivated based on what he had realized. Although he ford the Golden Core, then Nascent Soul which Bai Qiuran envied and hated, Bai Qiuran didn’t know whether the way he cultivated was right or wrong, good or not.
In the past, Bai Qiuran had to beware of Heaven, but now it didn’t matter for him anymore. If Heaven wanted to stop him from giving lectures, he would drive it away again.
After investigating, Bai Qiuran found that the situation was very surprising. He thought that Bai Li would have so problems in his own cultivation, or make so plausible but impractical things, but unexpectedly, in addition to being too modest, Bai Li’s foundation was very solid. He has cultivated every stage to the extre. It could be said that his foundation was better than so disciples of the big sects of later generations.
And more importantly, Bai Li actually did not cultivate any exercises. He just used the simplest thod to refine the True Qi in his body over and over again, which made him the most perfect cultivator who could accommodate almost all the mysterious techniques of later generations.
Seeing this, Bai Qiuran suddenly understood, he retracted his palm, and then said to Bai Li:
“Your situation is very special. You mustn’t waste it. Wait for a while, I’ll co up with a cultivate that suits you best.”
“Master has worked hard.”
After speaking, Bai Li looked hesitant.
“Is there anything else?”
Seeing his appearance, Bai Qiuran asked.
“Well...”
Bai Li hesitated, then said:
“The monkey told that it also wants to learn sothing from Master. Is Master willing to teach it?”
[The first Demon Emperor and the first ancestor of the Demon Race might not be the sa demon.]
Bai Qiuran looked at the gray monkey, rembering what Wise Immortal had previously translated for him in the Mausoleum of the First Demon Emperor, and he hesitated.
He knew very well in his heart that the first demon in the world could co into being, and the right to choose was now in his hands. After teaching this monkey, it may beco a firm supporter, comrade-in-arms, and right-hand man of Bai Li, but at the sa ti, it also ant that the enemy of the later generations, the demon race, would appear in this world.
But after thinking for a mont, he nodded in response.
Like Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Bai Qiuran also had a hunch that he was running out of ti, and perhaps he wouldn’t be to see the day when Bai Li lead the rise of the human race.
Before that ti ca, he would try his best to get the best starting conditions for Bai Li and the human race.
In the later generations, the demons may beco enemies because they fight for the dominance of the world, but in this era, the demons were the best helpers for the humans to fight against the gods!
“Hold it here.”
Bai Qiuran commanded Bai Li, then stretched out a finger and pointed it on the center of the monkey’s eyebrows.
This was a move called “enlightening”. Bai Qiuran could only use it after he has enough True Qi in his body. Although in this era, this monkey does not need Bai Qiuran to unlock its spiritual intelligence, as it already possessed enough intelligence, Bai Qiuran’s enlightening was to enable it to truly embark on the path of cultivation.
After the initiation, Bai Qiuran taught the monkey the bloodline evolution technique “Ascend Dragon Gate” which he discovered in the Mausoleum of the First Demon Emperor.
As for the main cultivation thod, like Bai Li, Bai Qiuran also needed to think carefully.
He returned to the small wooden house. The human servants he had brought with him had already started cutting logs around, learning to build their own huts nearby. These maids were taught directly by him, so they could also cultivate. So of them even knew more tricks than Bai Li.
Bai Qiuran greeted them and then went into the cabin by himself.
Jiang Lan was already lying on the bed and fell asleep again. As a goddess, after all her divine power and godhood were taken away, she shouldn’t be able to survive. Bai Qiuran’s True Qi could bring her back from the door of life and death, which could be considered as defying Heaven.
But even so, she still couldn’t get rid of the state of weakness.
Bai Qiuran estimated that if Jiang Lan could successfully cultivate the exercise thod of the human race, then her condition should be improved, so besides Bai Li and the gray monkey, he still needed to consider another exercise thod for Jiang Lan.
Bai Qiuran began to lower his head to think, and was imrsed in his own world. This made him unaware that Jiang Lan, who had been sleeping soundly in the bed, already woke up.
Jiang Lan herself also realized how bad her physical condition was. She was extrely weak and couldn’t get out of bed to walk around. She simply began to look at Bai Qiuran’s figure in a daze.
She has seen this face for several years, but before, Jiang Lan didn’t feel much about Bai Qiuran, even when she decided to abandon her authority and forge a sword for Bai Qiuran, her feelings for him was more like comrades in arms than husbands and wives.
But at this ti, she lost her supernatural power and completely beca a weak woman. She could no longer live on her own strength, and when she was most vulnerable, Bai Qiuran beca her base to rely upon.
So at this mont, when Jiang Lan looked at Bai Qiuran, he inexplicably felt that he had begun to appear a unique charm, especially his serious face when he frowned at the mont, which made people feel that there was a kind of safety sense.
Why didn’t I find him so good-looking before?
Jiang Lan shook her head, then laughed at herself in her heart.
This kind of thought would appear, it ans I really beca weaker.
But after she finished mocking herself, she had nothing to do, she continued to stare at Bai Qiuran.
Bai Qiuran thought hard for an afternoon, and it wasn’t until it got dark that he woke up from his own world, patted his thigh, and said:
“Yes!”
He stood up, then looked up and saw Jiang Lan who was sitting on the bed and looking at him.
“Ah, Little Lan, you are awake. Sorry, did I disturb you?”
Bai Qiuran was stunned for a mont and then asked.
“It’s ok.”
Jiang Lan shook his head, and then honestly said:
“I’m hungry.”
Bai Qiuran looked up and saw that the three-legged crow was about to fall above Ruomu, leaving only a dim light on the horizon.
“It’s been so long.... sorry, but please wait a little bit more.”
Bai Qiuran went out, grabbed so indigents, and ca back, and with the help of the maid, made a al that was enough for everyone in the valley to eat.
After waiting for Jiang Lan to finish eating, the sky was completely dark, and Bai Qiuran let everyone rest, preparing to teach Bai Li the exercises tomorrow.
But just after he helped Jiang Lan lie down on the bed and covered her with a quilt, there was a thunderous voice in the world, and the world was filled with rumblings.
“Follow the Imperial Order of the Heavenly Emperor!”
The voice shouted:
“Tomorrow at noon, all mbers of the sinful human race will be executed on the Huaijiang Mountain.”
“It’s God of Thunder.”
Jiang Lan whispered:
“It seems that the Eastern Emperor Taiyi wants to bait us out.”
“It’s okay, you fall asleep first.”
Bai Qiuran pushed her on the bed.
“Don’t worry about this, just leave it to to deal with it.”
