Chapter 1112: Chapter 517: The Origin of the Qilin Mask
The candlelight in the Buddhist temple flickered intermittently, and the hunched old man turned around from the prayer mat.
Even with ntal preparation in advance, Gu Jianlin felt a chill when he saw his appearance.
Because Taiqing’s body has completely deford, with intertwined golden tree roots replacing his skeletal structure under his tattered monk robe, devoid of any flesh, fascia, or organ tissues, only a vermilion fla burns at his heart, indicating how severely he has been corrupted.
Especially his head, which is no more than a skull like rotten wood, scorched black by burning vermilion fire.
So ironic.
"The inheritor of order, corroded to this extent."
Gu Jianlin raised the Qilin Wedge, aiming it at him from afar: "You truly are not as good as Grandmaster."
Taiqing sat kneeling on the ground, his voice calm: "I fought with her for most of my life, of course I know I’m inferior to her. Those years were rely her conceding to , seizing power was a breeze for her. However, she was naturally compassionate, unwilling to stir a storm of bloodshed like Wu Zhao."
"She asked you to endure, even bearing the accusation of murder to preserve your posthumous na."
Gu Jianlin said coldly: "Yet you planned this transformation, betraying her to this world."
Taiqing lifted his head, a cluster of vermilion fire igniting in the pitch-black eye sockets, his gentle voice suddenly turning into the roar of an evil spirit: "So what, this world ultimately belongs to , she stole it from ! Over four hundred years as spouses, I surely understand her true thoughts! She despised , never truly respected ! I even know that my achievents in the Candle Light Law were actually her secretly guiding
to complete..."
"I am grateful to her and grateful to the heavens for giving
such a good wife."
His voice suddenly plunged, gloomily saying: "But I refuse to accept being so incompetent; I just want to beat her once, in any domain, as long as I surpass her by even a little..."
When the old man said this, it was so humble.
Yet so full of desire.
Laced with a hint of sobbing, suppressing the deepest madness within.
Gu Jianlin’s eyes showed pity, indifferently said: "You’ve been possessed."
Taiqing laughed grimly: "Yes, one thought to beco Buddha, one thought to beco demon. My greatest trait in life is my obstinacy, and my greatest flaw is also my obstinacy. Because of this obstinacy, I fell to this level, beca a puppet of the unified will, took charge of The Order of the Hidden. At the ti, I thought I had surpassed my wife, but unfortunately made a mistake. I underestimated Qing and Chi, shouldn’t have let them out of my sight."
Gu Jianlin indifferently said: "Why did you send them to the depths of the Universe?"
"We need the You Ying Law."
Taiqing answered frankly: "But I never intended for them to return alive."
Gu Jianlin nodded slightly: "So you trained teachers and uncles to search for the Ghostly Glowing Lotus’s clues deep in the Universe, to revive the ancient You Ying Law. After all, the Candle Light Law and You Ying Law are indispensable. Qing and Chi were supposed to be lost in the deep Universe, yet they returned."
Taiqing softly said: "Because Qing and Chi went not only to the Ancestor Star but also to the Qilin’s Mother Star."
Ripples appeared in Gu Jianlin’s eyes.
"Qing and Chi experienced so things on the Qilin Venerable’s Mother Star, thus breaking free from my control."
Taiqing sighed: "Otherwise I wouldn’t have had the need to go to such great lengths to try to kill them."
Gu Jianlin ridiculed: "You are truly pitiful."
"Perhaps, in your view, if I hadn’t done this, I wouldn’t have died. But I have never regretted my choice; it was this obstinacy that inadvertently led
to a huge conspiracy."
He paused: "Before I was polluted by the unified will of the Candle Light Divine Tree, I originally had a chance to seek her help."
Gu Jianlin was shocked.
This ans Taiqing willingly beca polluted by the unified will of the Candle Light Divine Tree.
"For millions of years, the Candle Light Divine Tree has been so secretive, like a butterfly flitting through the dark side of history, leaving no trace. Yet as this butterfly grows stronger, so people will inevitably hear its wind. I want to use my active collaboration to find the source of that conspiracy."
Taiqing said hoarsely: "Indeed, as I imagined, Taihua used my anomaly to lead Qing and Chi step by step towards unraveling the truth of that conspiracy, the product of my sacrifice. Sadly, she ultimately couldn’t do it. Knowing soone like her had sothing she couldn’t achieve gave
much relief."
Gu Jianlin murmured: "You truly are a lunatic."
Taiqing laughed silently, taking it as praise.
"Even if they fail, it still counts as my victory."
He laughed: "Because the Vermilion Bird Venerate is about to achieve a great feat beyond thousands of years, descending upon this world in the most perfect form. At that ti, the fateful curse between humans and the Ancient God Clan will also be completely ended!"
In the silence, his laughter resonated.
Madness carried arrogance, ambition spreading like wildfire.
Gu Jianlin incomprehensibly asked: "Why?"
The fla in Taiqing’s eyes flickered uncertainly: "Do you think you’re human or divine?"
Gu Jianlin was even too lazy to answer such a question.
Taiqing said with a half-smile: "You think you’re human, and based on your practice of the Third Law, it’s indeed beyond reproach. But the issue is, Vermilion Bird Venerate and Candle Dragon Venerable can also declare themselves human."
