The hole that appeared in the sky was so terrifying that it shocked even the most ntally resilient people. Xie Qing could also be considered a relatively calm person, but the situation had left him in complete shock.
"What... the hell is this..."
The man sat on the ground, looking at the morning sky, which should have been ordinary, but... today, right in the center, there was a huge hole, as if soone had broken through by force.
Even in his wildest fantasies, Xie Qing could not have imagined sothing like this happening. It was like hell.
"Hm? Lying around instead of training?" a calm, monotonous female voice sounded.
One could not even guess, but it was i Feng, who, after a long silence, had co out.
Xie Qing stood up and bowed. His appearance was agitated, and his voice trembled.
"Great Master... tell . Do you know anything about this thing?"
"Huh?" i Feng raised an eyebrow and, seeing the sincere curiosity on Xie Qing's face, hesitated for a mont, then sighed and muttered, "Ah, damn..."
Her expression was as if a child had asked an awkward question to a parent, and she could not answer. However, after thinking for a mont, she looked up at the sky and sighed.
"Alright. In any case, you would have found out about this sooner or later, so maybe it's good that I tell you now," i Feng said, and her expression beca strange. She glanced at Xie Qing and, seeing that he was listening attentively, opened her mouth and continued, "Do you know about the old legend? About the immortals from our world."
"You an... the cultivators from the legends who, according to the stories, ascended to the Immortal World?" Xie Qing asked cautiously and, seeing i Feng nod, he added, "I know. The main theory of their disappearance is that these people ascended to the Immortal World."
"Hm... partly they are right," i Feng suddenly said and snorted, "But there is a catch."
"Eh?"
Xie Qing raised an eyebrow, his entire deanor expressing confusion. i Feng let out a chuckle and continued, turning her gaze towards the sky.
"Indeed. These people were the talented individuals of their generation and, when they broke through to the Transcendence stage, they earned the recognition of the Heavens and received the chance to ascend to the Immortal World."
i Feng's voice was calm, but one could hear the faint, yet still lingering signs of lancholy.
"Partially, a small group of people managed to ascend and beco Immortal. I do not know about their fate, as the Mortal World and the Immortal World are limited in communication due to the Laws of the Heavens. As for the rest..." i Feng turned to Xie Qing and said with a cold face, "They all died on the path to becoming immortal."
"What..."
The man's eyes widened as i Feng's cold voice reached his ears, and with the shocking statent, his heart beat faster.
"Died... you say?" he asked, still in shock.
"What, unexpected?" i Feng smiled, seeing Xie Qing's state, and waved her hand, "But why be surprised? It's useless to think that the Heavens are kind. If you do not possess sufficient strength, you will not see the peaks. The sa goes for those who challenged the Heavens but were not strong enough to earn its recognition."
Xie Qing froze, as if his entire body was frozen in eternal ice. Although he knew that the Heavens were strict, who would have thought... that they were so harsh?
"There's nothing to be surprised about... but still. It becos scary to think that even the legendary people of the past could not overco the trial. Now they are almost considered gods. If the outside world finds out about this..." Xie Qing sighed and sat on the ground, looking at the hole in the sky in shock. He asked i Feng, "Then... this..."
"Hm? Ah, yes... this hole ans that the Laws of the Heavens have been violated, and the barrier restricting the Immortal World has been broken. In other words, the Mortal World is now like a juicy piece of at on a platter, and enemies can invade here, against whom we..."
"Are powerless," Xie Qing added and sighed, "I guess I started rejoicing too early."
***
"What... seriously?"
Xu i opened her eyes wide in shock, hearing Xie Qing's explanation. They were on the training ground. Hearing the man's words, the girl froze in thought.
"Well... Master has never lied to , especially in such serious monts," Xu i said after a long silence and, looking at Xie Qing, placed her hand on his, "Now... it is a very difficult ti for our world. And, most likely, we will have to make many sacrifices. I will ask Xie iling to send the Xie family to a safe place."
"Ah..."
Xie Qing only sighed, giving no answer. In fact, he doubted that there could be a safe place in this world, considering that the strength of their enemies was unknown.
"I wonder if we will survive... I would like to see the Immortal World," Xie Qing murmured, looking at the hole.
"Of course, we will survive. Is there any doubt?" Xu i proudly snorted, slapping her chest, causing two hills to bounce elastically.
"I wish I had your optimism, i-i..." Xie Qing sighed, dropping formalities. He looked into her beautiful blue eyes and involuntarily smiled, "Although, you are right. We will beat anyone who wants to take a bite out of us. And then... we will beco Immortals and live together forever."
"Xie Qing..."
Xu i's cheeks turned red, and the girl involuntarily leaned towards Xie Qing. Their lips t in a light but passionate kiss.
And while they were engrossed in expressing their love for each other...
"Ahem... ahem..."
Suddenly, a cough sounded, bringing them both out of their passionate kiss. Xu i angrily pulled her lips away and snapped.
"Don't interfere, Master!"
"..."
Xie Qing was more modest, and he only wiped the lipstick with a napkin.
i Feng, standing behind them, only looked at Xu i with a dry expression, then spat out these words:
"Old cow eating young grass... what a funny sight."
"Bitch!"
"Hm, shaless girl."
Xu i and i Feng, as usual, began to snap at each other again, and Xie Qing sighed as he looked at them.
In fact, such a scene was absolutely normal. Every ti these two argued as if there would be no tomorrow, so he did not even try to separate them.
And, by the way...
Xie Qing looked at Xu i's stomach. It still looked flat, although one could confidently say that the fetus was indeed fine. He was a bit puzzled.
"A year has passed, but the child has not been born. Could it be that cultivators really have a completely different pregnancy period? No, many cultivators were normal..." he did not fully understand.
Nine months of pregnancy was enough for a child to be born. This applied to cultivators as well, but... Xu i still looked as if she was not pregnant at all.
Xie Qing consulted i Feng about this, who only shrugged and replied, "Do you think I have ever been pregnant?" To this, the man had no answer.
However, on the other hand...
"It's good that the child is not born now... I'm afraid that if the birth happens in the next year, we will face strong shocks. I cannot be so brave if I have to protect an infant..."
The man sighed helplessly. Becoming a father still shocked him, as by the standards of cultivators, he was still young. However, how could he refuse Xu i, who spoke with such passion and a gleam in her eyes, asking for this?
"She really wants a child. She even thought of nas for a boy and a girl. She even tries to learn knitting to make clothes for the children with her own hands..."
Xie Qing looked at his hands. Thanks to his special physique, the skin was light and soft, as if he had never held anything heavier than a feather in his life.
"And these hands... will smash the jaw of any villain who gets in the way of my child's future."
Xie Qing clenched his hands into a fist and looked at the hole.
"Even if they are immortals."
