Chapter 419: Long Xiaoyu’s Puzzlement
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Strictly speaking, the Heavenly Emperor was indeed Long Xiaoyu’s master. If not for the Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance, it would have been impossible for Long Xiaoyu to step into the eighth realm of the Great Void Stage in such a short period of time and far surpass experts of the same realm.
Although the Heavenly Emperor had now reconstructed his body, he was almost no different from when he was back then on the Divine Seal Altar. Therefore, Long Xiaoyu recognized him at a glance.
Similarly, although Long Xiaoyu was covered in a black robe, she could not escape the Heavenly Emperor’s prying eyes.
“Why are you here?”
The Heavenly Emperor was stunned. He did not mind Long Xiaoyu calling him master.
“I heard that the Heavenly Palace has appeared, so I wanted to see if it’s true.”
Long Xiaoyu did not hide anything.
“I see.”
The Heavenly Emperor pondered and raised his eyes to look over. Indeed, he saw many cultivators from all over hiding in the Divine Realm, gradually retreating.
It was obvious that he had the same goal as Long Xiaoyu. However, because he did not have the aura of the Heavenly Emperor’s personal cultivation technique,they were unable to pass through the barrier and enter the Divine Realm.
What was worth mentioning was that compared to Yun Xi, the Heavenly Emperor actually thought more highly of Long Xiaoyu back then. After all, Long Xiaoyu was a divine beast and she possessed an extremely pure bloodline. Most importantly, hundreds of thousands of years ago, the White Dragon Race had once belonged to a vassal force of the Heavenly Palace.
Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor directly imparted the cultivation technique he cultivated to Long Xiaoyu.
However, after a few months, the surprise Long Xiaoyu gave the Heavenly Emperor was far less shocking than Yun Xi’s.
“Um… can I take a look at the Heavenly Palace?”
Seeing the Heavenly Emperor remain silent, Long Xiaoyu asked carefully.
“Of course.”
The Heavenly Emperor nodded slightly. “By the way, there’s another friend you’re familiar with here.”
After hesitating for a long time, the Heavenly Emperor finally chose to describe him as a “friend”.
“Friend?”
Long Xiaoyu was stunned. She did not remember knowing any other expert of the Heavenly Palace besides the Heavenly Emperor.
Under the Heavenly Emperor’s lead, Long Xiaoyu quickly figured out who that friend was.
“Senior? You’re here too?”
Long Xiaoyu was overjoyed and immediately rushed up happily, as if she wanted to hug the other party.
Apart from Qin Jue, who else could it be?
“Long time no see.”
Qin Jue put down the wine pot and waved his hand.
“Long time no see.”
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Long Xiaoyu waved her hand and removed her black robe, revealing her absolutely beautiful figure and appearance.
“Mm? Master, who is she?”
At this moment, Killing Dao walked over and sized up Long Xiaoyu, looking slightly puzzled.
“Her name is Long Xiaoyu. She’s a friend of mine, the White Dragon Race’s Divine Maiden.”
Qin Jue introduced, “This is… a divine artifact, Killing Dao.”
“Killing Dao?”
Long Xiaoyu’s eyes suddenly widened as she said in disbelief, “You’re the legendary Divine Sword Killing Dao that can split space and time?”
Because divine artifacts were extremely rare in the Inner Realm, most of them were born from the world, so they were very easy to recognize.
However, Killing Dao never expected that after hundreds of thousands of years, someone would still know about her.
In fact, Long Xiaoyu only read about Killing Dao because she liked to read ancient books. In addition, the White Dragon Race had been around for a long time. That was why she was lucky enough to read about it on a jade slip.
“That’s right, that’s me.”
Killing Dao placed her hands behind her back and said proudly, “I didn’t expect anyone to recognize me after hundreds of thousands of years.”
Wait!
White Dragon Race?
Killing Dao suddenly understood. If this person was the White Dragon Race’s Divine Maiden, then it wouldn’t be surprising.
Next, Long Xiaoyu followed the Heavenly Emperor and roamed the entire Divine Realm until the sun set and night fell. Only then did she return to the mountain peak where Qin Jue lived.
That’s right. After some thought, Long Xiaoyu finally decided to rest here for the night and leave tomorrow.
Qin Jue naturally wouldn’t refuse this, so Long Xiaoyu stayed here.
On the other side, the Heavenly Emperor couldn’t help but be depressed. His two “disciples” seemed to like Qin Jue more. It was simply too sad.
“Senior, what are you doing?”
Darkness enveloped the entire Divine Realm like a thick fog. Faint fluorescent lights flashed in the forest, continuously forming various patterns that were exceptionally beautiful.
Long Xiaoyu slowly sat down, only half a meter away from Qin Jue.
Seeing this, Qin Jue stood up and leaned against the blue stone. He indifferently said, “I’m looking at the scenery.”
Long Xiaoyu :”…”
For some reason, many memories of his previous life suddenly appeared in Qin Jue’s mind, as well as a song, making his heart rather complicated.
Speaking of which, it had been a long time since he had sung.
Thinking of this, Qin Jue raised his head, took a sip of spirit wine, and sang in a low voice.
“I sat in front of the bed and looked out the window, recalling everything.”
“Life is a gorgeous illusion. Time is a thief who steals everything.”
“…”
“Is there such a thing as forever and ever?”
“The beauty you hug will never be broken again.”
“I can’t let the harsh years act so atrociously on my face.”
“Let life and death be distant…”
“…”
“…”
When the last line of the lyrics fell, Qin Jue closed his eyes slightly, as if he had gone back to Earth, his emotions extremely calm.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary worker who had received countless cold gazes and ridicule and was unable to resist.
In this life, he had inexplicably obtained incomparably powerful strength. He was invincible no matter where he went. No one could boss him around anymore. Such a strong contrast was simply inconceivable.
Sometimes, Qin Jue really wondered if he was dreaming.
Of course, that was in the three years since he had first transmigrated to the Spirit Central World.
“That was so good!”
Long Xiaoyu couldn’t help but praise, even though she didn’t understand many of the words.
Hearing this, Qin Jue smiled bitterly. With Long Xiaoyu’s status, she probably wouldn’t understand the meaning of this song for the next hundred thousand years.
Shaking off these messy thoughts, Qin Jue opened his eyes. Moonlight reflected in his pupils like a lake, and his white clothes fluttered in the wind, making him look like an immortal.
In fact, after his discussion with Long Zhen, Qin Jue had completely let go of his obsession with Earth. However, when he thought about it occasionally, he still couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Especially when combined with the song just now, he felt as if the world had changed.
Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Long Xiaoyu tactfully chose to stay silent. Although she still belonged to the younger generation, she had already lived for several thousand years and was not an idiot who did not know anything.
“Master, Master, Sister Su Yan has come out of seclusion!”
Suddenly, Yun Xi fell from the sky and landed on Qin Jue’s shoulder, shouting excitedly.
In the next moment, when she noticed Long Xiaoyu beside her, Yun Xi’s face changed slightly, and her voice suddenly stopped as she hurriedly hid behind Qin Jue.
Because Yun Xi was a spirit plant that had taken human form, and Long Xiaoyu belonged to the White Dragon Race, Long Xiaoyu possessed a natural pressure towards all living beings of the other races that were inferior to her, so Yun Xi had always been slightly afraid of Long Xiaoyu.
Even though Yun Xi was no longer affected by Long Xiaoyu’s pressure after obtaining the inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor, she was still unwilling to approach casually.
Seeing this, Long Xiaoyu was rather embarrassed. She could only try her best to restrain her aura and make herself look gentler.
Just as Long Xiaoyu was feeling curious about who Su Yan was, an absolutely stunning woman walked over from afar.
The moment Long Xiaoyu saw the peerless beauty, the peerless beauty subconsciously looked over.. Their eyes met, and they could see the confusion in each other’s eyes.
