Chapter 1947: Chapter 1945: A Place Foreordained to Be Forever Inaccessible
However, even if Gu Qiaoqiao has Spiritual Energy in her fingers and her body is different from ordinary people, drawing those thousands of complex Dharma Seals and symbols over and over again in the air is something that ordinary people find difficult to persist with. At this moment, her arm is becoming increasingly heavy, and each stroke seems to weigh a thousand pounds. Gu Qiaoqiao’s entire body is already soaked in sweat.
It seemed that it had never been so difficult before.
Could it be that she couldn’t master the second level, even with such an opportunity, with so much Spiritual Energy augmenting her?
Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression suddenly sharpened.
No, she can’t think like that. She can’t go with the flow like before, drifting wherever life takes her. She needs to take the initiative and control everything she can. Her life is inherently full of uncertainties, and even if she desires an ordinary life, it doesn’t allow her one.
This path is one she is destined to walk, with no escape or avoidance.
So what she must do at this moment is to catch up vigorously. The Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation has a total of nine levels. Some have already achieved Great Perfection and moved on to another world. With so many favorable conditions, is it truly this hard to reach the second level?
It’s said that human determination can conquer heaven, and for Gu Qiaoqiao, it has always been like that.
Since she was reborn, even if she was endowed with Spiritual Energy, if she did nothing, everything would be no different from her past life. The contribution of Spiritual Energy is one aspect, but changing her own and her family’s fate step by step is the most crucial, which is why she has what she has today.
With this thought, a unique aura suddenly surged within Gu Qiaoqiao, rushing through her body as if invisibly expanding the space around her, making everything appear broader and deeper.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand continued to mechanically draw the Heaven-reaching Talisman.
Don’t think it’s easy. If you repeat the same posture countless times to draw a talisman over and over again, it cannot be done without strong determination.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know how many times she had drawn it. When her heart became increasingly clear and reached a peak, suddenly the view opened up, and as she finished the last stroke, Gu Qiaoqiao snapped her eyes open. She had mastered the second layer of the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation.
Gu Qiaoqiao was extremely delighted, but she gritted her teeth tightly and extended her fingers to draw the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation again. The scene when the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation is mastered is like this: if you haven’t mastered it, it will float in the air and gradually disappear. If you have, it will suddenly explode like a dazzling golden firework, and the light it emits becomes a sphere of light for the master to use.
Looking at the sphere of light condensed from the golden glow in front of her, Gu Qiaoqiao smiled and then exited the space with a flash of her mind.
This time, she was going to check at the entrance of Second Uncle Qin’s villa.
And she immediately saw Qin Yize standing upright in the center of the bedroom, but his face was as dark as water.
At the moment she emerged, his dark eyes seemed to light up like a series of lanterns in the night, and before Gu Qiaoqiao could react, Qin Yize pulled her tightly into his embrace, as if afraid he wouldn’t find her again.
He knew Gu Qiaoqiao must have gone into the space because the blue plush carpet in the bedroom and the cup on the coffee table were gone. He figures that Qiaoqiao must have gone into the space, and though he dared not disturb her, as the minutes ticked by, he couldn’t help but worry. He didn’t know what Qiaoqiao was doing in the space, but it must be related to Dongdong’s disappearance today.
Of course, he knew Qiaoqiao wouldn’t stand by and watch, but the situation with the opponent is indeed tricky. After so many years, he’s experienced a lot, but it’s the first time he’s encountered something like this. Not even Nie Luan had any clue, and even his trusted men couldn’t figure it out even after examining for a long time.
Initially, Nie Luan wanted to come to the Qin Family’s Courtyard with him, but he stopped him.
He needed to know Qiaoqiao’s opinion on this matter before allowing Nie Luan to ask her.
Qin Yishan, his cousin, was now like a lost soul, utterly useless. Qin Yize understood his feelings. If it were Xiao Bao who went missing, he might not be soul-crushed, but his reaction would be crazy.
He too was fond of Dongdong, after all, he was his own nephew, and moreover, the child was endearing, sensible, and smart.
Dongdong vanished inexplicably, mobilizing every available resource, nearly turning the Imperial Capital upside down, and even now at after ten at night, to no avail.
Knowing Second Uncle Qin and Second Aunt were at the Qin Family’s Courtyard, he returned home with his cousin and Liu Qiqi. Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei were asleep, but there was no sign of Gu Qiaoqiao.
Old Grand Master Qin downstairs knew when Qiaoqiao left, carefully calculating it to be almost two hours.
Along with Qiaoqiao, the carpet and cup from the bedroom went missing too. He thought Gu Qiaoqiao must have been cultivating, entering her space. He knew the space inside was static, with nothing around changing, giving people no sense of the passage of time.
Even if Qiaoqiao had a watch on her wrist, how could she remember the time while cultivating? So he was really worried.
No matter where in this world Qiaoqiao was, he was confident he could find her, but her space was a place he could never enter without her, and that’s why his expression was dark and somber, eyes full of a menacing look.
Fortunately, after standing tall like a Green Pine in the room for over twenty minutes, Qiaoqiao suddenly appeared.
A few breaths later, he noticed the Qiaoqiao in his arms was drenched in sweat, her already fair face now pallid, her skin nearly translucent.
Yet her face carried joy as she raised her head and said, "Ah Ze, I have mastered the second layer of the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation. I’ll clean up, and then you take me to Second Uncle’s villa. Maybe we can find some clues."
Mind racing with thoughts, Qin Yize had no choice but to nod, suppressing his heartache. He vowed to make it up to Qiaoqiao, but today’s situation was indeed special. He released her, his voice hoarse yet filled with tenderness, "Good Qiaoqiao, thank you for your hard work."
Gu Qiaoqiao was happy; the Spiritual Energy had quickly replenished her exhausted strength after mastering the spell. She didn’t say more to Qin Yize, but went to the bathroom. Soon, after washing up and changing clothes, the two appeared in the grand living room.
This was destined to be a sleepless night for everyone, including Old Master Qin. A well-behaved child vanished without a trace. As a family member, it was as if their hearts were burning in a blazing fire, a painful feeling never known unless personally experienced.
