· He Zhiqing once searched his heart and asked: Do I like Sister Yu?
The answer was: Yes.
Even the Heart Inquiry he once faced was related to Sister Yu. It’s just that he was really inept at expressing himself, and at the sa ti, he felt a sense of guilt towards the world.
In the eyes of others, he has always been a gentle and resolute person. Yet only he knew that when it ca to his feelings for Sister Yu, he was undoubtedly a failure, a coward who only knew how to run away.
Yu Gejing once had a Constitution that determined her life would not last long, so she truly wanted to experience a complete life.
When she was young, her father strictly forbade her to go out casually, keeping her on the Star Peak of the Complete Heaven Sect, and even by the age of eight, what she knew about the outside world was only from various books.
Until the boy who appeared by her father’s side showed up, always wearing a dazed expression, yet unexpectedly adorable. Word had it that he was the father’s eldest Disciple and the only Disciple, with incredibly monstrous talent, learning everything at an alarming speed.
From then on, Star Peak had its third person, and she had a playmate.
After two years, He Zhiqing, who was a year younger than Yu Gejing, was also under the pressure of Yu Gejing’s fists, forced to call the young girl "Sister."
Taking advantage of a day when her father was out, Yu Gejing, who had long harbored the intention, pulled the extrely reluctant He Zhiqing, who preferred to stay in the mountain practicing Daoist Skills or reading books, and using the Magical Treasure secretly taken from her father, they left the Mountain Gate and headed towards a training ground near the Complete Heaven Sect.
Yu Gejing had long yearned for the thrilling life of a Cultivator, battling through adversity; in her mind, all those genius disciples in the sect would first undergo training, a process integral to becoming a formidable Cultivator.
The rebellious child snuck out against her parents’ wishes and unsurprisingly ran into trouble.
What they deed an inconsequential Third Realm beast, the Storm Bear, was their nightmare at the ti.
It was during such a life-and-death crisis that He Zhiqing had an unexpected change in his eyes, awakening his talent and rescuing Yu Gejing from the jaws of the Storm Bear.
After their whereabouts were discovered by the sect’s Disciples, they were sent back to the sect, whereupon Fang Zhi was infuriated and severely scolded them both!
Since then, the once rash Yu Gejing beca more demure, whereas the previously clueless He Zhiqing suddenly seed to have gained insight overnight, his monstrous talent becoming even more terrifying—with the help of those eyes, mastering any Daoist Skill beca effortless.
The ability to acquire learning from future mories, while definitely against the natural order, ca with a great cost—the unbearable burden on the Divine Soul.
Furthermore, these eyes couldn’t be voluntarily shut. He Zhiqing would see a brief future of everything he laid eyes upon, whether an object or a person, which only further weakened his already overburdened Divine Soul.
Left with no choice, Fang Zhi had to step in to seal it, hoping that one day when He Zhiqing grew stronger, he could use it again.
Yu Gejing felt that this was the result of her own willful demand to go out, filled with remorse towards her junior brother He Zhiqing.
He Zhiqing felt that he had failed to protect his senior sister at the ti, almost costing her life, thus he too was filled with remorse towards Yu Gejing.
The two-way guilt, along with a touch of young affection, resulted in secret adoration, which hadn’t changed even after more than a decade.
Even Liang Yi and Su Youyi were anxious watching them—couldn’t these two blockheads learn sothing from the two of them, who were successful in their romance?
But just as Yu Gejing made up her mind to reach a conclusion today, Liang Yi, who had been enjoying the spectacle, suddenly manifested a sword light on his body, while the scabbard that had been silently following Liang Yi and Su Youyi since the beginning now showed extre excitent, circling the sword light.
The commotion here also drew Yu Gejing’s attention, giving He Zhiqing a chance to breathe.
The sword light gradually dimd, transforming into a figure Liang Yi was familiar with—Sword Immortal Jianyi.
"Sword Immortal Jianyi!?" Liang Yi was not very surprised. When Sword Immortal Jianyi had attached that power to him, he had already guessed that this might happen.
However, Sword Immortal Jianyi did not attend to Liang Yi right away, nor to the scabbard directly clinging to him, but instead focused his gaze intently on Su Youyi.
"What’s your na?" Sword Immortal Jianyi’s voice was a bit hoarse, even trembling slightly.
To Liang Yi, this seed utterly impossible. Aren’t such lofty figures supposed to be indifferent to life and death, unshakeable except for their own pursuits?
"The junior’s na is Su Youyi." Su Youyi, hearing the na spoken by her brother, guessed the identity of the person in front of her—likely the one who had once sealed the Abyss, Cang Dong himself, directly suppressing Cang Dong until the destruction of the epoch.
"Su Youyi, what a good na!" The corners of Sword Immortal Jianyi’s mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to give a warm smile. Unfortunately, having not smiled for countless years, he was now unable to even produce a smile.
"Why does the senior care so much?" Yu Gejing was imdiately displeased when he saw the uncle caring so much for Su Youyi, and stood aggressively in front of Jianyi after leaving He Zhiqing behind.
Now, he does not think anyone looks like a good person; he was almost killed by a "Jianyi" just a mont ago.
"A descendent of Bo Tiandao?" Jianyi was sowhat surprised; in his mory, wasn’t the Bo Tiandao of the Second Epoch already extinct? How could there still be descendants?
"Senior must be mistaken. I am a Disciple of the Complete Heaven Sect, sa as the rest of the world." He Zhiqing also adjusted his mood before coming up behind Yu Gejing; strangely, he couldn’t see this senior’s future - or rather, it’s as if this senior existed outside any ti, past or future.
"The Eye of Wonders? I never expected these eyes to truly exist."
The surprises these juniors brought him were endless. Even in his era, the Eye of Wonders was proclaid just a rumor, yet it indeed appeared.
"It will only burden you to use it now. Wait until you’ve reached the Seventh Realm." Jianyi didn’t want such a talented individual to die prematurely. Under Yu Gejing’s tense gaze, Jianyi pointed at He Zhiqing’s forehead, and a sword-shaped talisman flashed across his forehead, then disappeared.
He Zhiqing only felt a coolness at his brow, and the imnse burden coming from his eyes vanished. His mind beca clear. He felt that this seal was many tis more robust than the one set by his Master, but if one day he reached the Seventh Realm, he could choose to undo it himself.
"Many thanks, senior!" Having received this senior’s favor, He Zhiqing naturally expressed his gratitude appropriately.
Jianyi casually removed the clingy scabbard from his body, and after gently stroking it with a tender expression, he said to the crowd: "My last na is Su, and my first na is Jianyi."
"The surna Su?" Liang Yi’s eyes widened as he looked towards Su Youyi, rembering the jade token with the ’Su’ character from his previous mories.
Su Youyi seed to sense sothing too, and took out the jade pendant from the ring.
Sure enough, the green jade pendant was now beginning to glow red, and the elegant ’Su’ character on it was shining brightly.
The ignored scabbard suddenly made itself known as well, flipping over its body.
Then, everyone saw that there was the sa ’Su’ character engraved on the lower part of the scabbard’s back, with the handwriting being identical, clearly done by the sa person.
"Senior is... my sister’s ancestor?" Liang Yi was still sowhat in disbelief.
If indeed an ancestor, then his sister’s bloodline was truly powerful, surviving through three epochs and remaining to this day.
"Let’s speak outside about the specifics. There are people waiting for you out there." Su Jianyi shook his head wordlessly, showing no intention of small talk here, and with a wave of his hand, the teleportation array enveloped everyone and activated.
By the ti Liang Yi and the others reacted, they were already outside the sealed place, in front of the waterfall.
"Senior Su, you’re able to co out too?" Liang Yi watched as Senior Su seed to freely enter and exit the sealed place.
"Why can’t I co out of a seal I set myself?" Su Jianyi looked puzzled; his daughter didn’t pick a fool, did she?
"Sect Leader, I’ve caught the guy who tried to ambush you." An aged voice sounded, and a purple-robed elder with a captive in hand appeared beside everyone.
"Hm?" Liang Yi knew who the voice referred to, but about the person who ambushed them, was it the talented Disciple from their sect who had entered the Secret Realm?
Jing Guangji at this mont was in despair. He had intended to use others to do his dirty work - these were the two strongest individuals he could think of from his mory. One a scourge from the Abyss, the other a ruthless Slaughter God; regardless of whom Su Youyi and the others were teleported to, the outco was expected to be grim.
To be safe, he waited at the entrance of the waterfall. If Su Youyi and her group miraculously survived, he could finish them off right there. After all, he was a Seventh Realm Cultivator in this Secret Realm, while Su Youyi was just a re Third Realm here.
Unexpectedly, he didn’t intercept anyone, and instead, was caught himself. He had thought to run away after seeing the Purple Cloud movent technique, but this elder slapped his forehead with a Purple Cloud’s righteous energy, locking away all his Mana. Now, he was no different from an ordinary person.
But wasn’t this Sect Leader supposed to be tricked away by false information and wouldn’t be back for at least ten days? How could he appear here?
Jing Guangji racked his brains but couldn’t figure it out; the Purple Cloud Sect Leader holding him now, Bo Xuanbu, was just a consciousness residing in the body, identical to the real one.
"Hm, is this the traitor from the Purple Cloud Sect who later helped the Abyss scum escape from my seal?" In Su Jianyi’s mory, it was a traitor from the Purple Cloud Sect that helped Cang Dong escape his seal, hiding within the Purple Cloud Sect, nearly leading to its destruction later.
"The real one has long passed away, and today he’s rely a junior with his consciousness attached." Bo Xuanbu carelessly tossed Jing Guangji aside, turned, and respectfully saluted Su Jianyi.
"Forr Sect Leader of the Purple Cloud Sect, Bo Xuanbu, has seen Sword Immortal Su Jianyi!"
Bo Xuanbu knew about Su Jianyi; it was he who secretly brought back the residual consciousness of Su Jianyi that was left in the sealed place to the Purple Cloud Sect, and later he led the leader of the Bo Tiandao to discuss with Senior Su how to deal with the Abyss.
