Huang Lao’s analysis left Chu Tian half-convinced, half-doubting!
His intuition told him that the woman in the plain dress was far from ordinary, possibly no weaker than the Master of the Great Dao!
Of course, as a disciple, he naturally wouldn’t contradict his master!
As if struck by a thought, Chu Tian turned to look at Qin Guan nearby. Just moments ago, she had collected a ton of storage rings!
And they were all Holy King-level storage rings!
She’d struck it rich!
Chu Tian let out a quiet sigh. The tens of thousands of dimensional divine crystals he’d received suddenly seemed insignificant!
At that moment, Qin Guan was indeed overjoyed!
She’d hit the jackpot!
As if remembering something, Qin Guan hurriedly stowed the storage rings and chased after the others!
The Plain Dress Destiny had appeared again!
It was time to upgrade the technology!
…
In the distant starry sky, Qing’er and Ye Xuan walked slowly.
The stars sparkled, the silence unbroken.
Ye Xuan held Qing’er’s hand and said softly, “Qingqiu said you went to a higher-level civilised universe. Is that true?”
Qing’er nodded.
Ye Xuan was curious. “What kind of civilised universe?”
Qing’er thought for a moment, then said, “Do you want to see it?”
Ye Xuan quickly replied, “Yes!”
But then he hesitated. “Is it dangerous?”
Qing’er smiled. “I can take you there!”
Ye Xuan was stunned.
Qing’er turned to look into the depths of the starry sky. “With me, there’s no danger!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Alright!”
He wanted to follow Qing’er and see the world!
He’d come to understand a truth!
Groping his way through this universe alone, who knew how long it would take to reach the world Qing’er was now in contact with!
If he couldn’t get there by walking, he’d get there by tagging along!
Qing’er suddenly opened her palm, and the Xingdao Sword appeared in her hand. She looked at it and said softly, “Brother…”
Ye Xuan asked, “What’s wrong?”
Qing’er seemed about to speak but stopped.
Ye Xuan asked again, “What’s wrong?”
Qing’er said softly, “I have a feeling that some things might soon come to an end!”
Ye Xuan was taken aback, then said, “What do you mean?”
Qing’er shook her head, unwilling to say more.
Ye Xuan’s expression grew heavy, a trace of unease rising in his heart!
Qing’er turned to look at him. “He’s paving the way for certain people!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “The Master of the Great Dao?”
Qing’er nodded.
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, “Is it Ye Chen and the others? The new Chosen Ones?”
Qing’er shook her head. “They don’t count as Chosen Ones!”
Ye Xuan was stunned.
Qing’er looked at him. “Who becomes a Chosen One is partly decided by the Master of the Great Dao, and partly by others!”
Others!
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Who are these others?”
Qing’er thought for a moment, then said, “You’ll find out later!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qing’er continued, “That Ye Chen you mentioned isn’t a Chosen One. So far, there have only been three true Chosen Ones: your father, Wubian Lord, and you! Though, Wubian Lord only counts as half a Chosen One, since he was abandoned halfway!”
Wubian Lord: “…”
Qing’er went on, “He’s now paving the way for the next Chosen One, but he doesn’t dare touch you yet.”
Ye Xuan was confused. “Why not?”
Qing’er looked at him. “I’m here. How could he dare touch you?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qing’er said, “If necessary, you should keep your distance from Qin Guan!”
Ye Xuan was stunned. “Why?”
Qing’er was silent.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Qing’er, just tell me whatever’s on your mind!”
Qing’er said, “The next Chosen One has a deep connection to her.”
She looked at Ye Xuan. “I originally wanted to kill her!”
At that moment, Qin Guan arrived on the scene. Hearing this, her expression froze.
Qing’er glanced at the newly arrived Qin Guan. “Just kidding!”
Qin Guan: “…”
Ye Xuan’s heart raced with shock!
Why would Qing’er have such a thought?
But with Qin Guan present, he couldn’t say much!
Qing’er said, “I’ll take you to a place soon!”
Ye Xuan was curious. “What place?”
Qing’er said, “The New World!”
New World!
Ye Xuan frowned and turned to Qin Guan, who shook her head, having never heard of it.
As the siblings spoke, they arrived before an altar!
Seeing the altar, Ye Xuan immediately recalled Gu Sang’s words.
Nan Qing!
This must be the territory of Nan Qing, the first powerhouse of ancient times!
Ye Xuan hesitated, then pulled Qing’er to the side!
He wasn’t afraid of Nan Qing, but he felt it was best not to disturb her!
If Nan Qing woke up now, it might not be good for her!
Qing’er glanced at the altar and looked away!
No interest!
Just as the three were about to leave, the altar suddenly trembled faintly!
Ye Xuan frowned. It couldn’t be this coincidental, could it?
At that moment, a woman on the altar slowly opened her eyes. The next moment, she floated up and looked at Ye Xuan and the others in the distance.
Nan Qing!
Nan Qing’s gaze fell directly on Qing’er, and her brows furrowed slightly!
She couldn’t sense Qing’er!
Moreover, when she saw Qing’er, she felt nothing!
For a powerhouse of her level, she could foresee many things in advance, yet facing this plain-dressed woman, she sensed nothing!
At that moment, she felt all cause and effect cease to exist!
Nan Qing’s expression grew solemn. “How may I address you, miss?”
Qing’er glanced at Nan Qing, then looked at Ye Xuan. “Need to prepare anything?”
Ye Xuan was surprised. “We’re going now?”
Qing’er nodded.
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “No need to prepare!”
With Qingqiu around, he truly didn’t need to prepare!
At that moment, Qin Guan suddenly said, “I want to go too!”
Qing’er glanced at her. “What for?”
Qin Guan blinked. “To make money!”
Qing’er was about to say something, but Qin Guan quickly looked at Ye Xuan, giving him a meaningful glance!
Ye Xuan gave a wry smile. “Qing’er…”
Qing’er thought for a moment, then nodded. “Alright!”
Qin Guan immediately gave Ye Xuan a thumbs-up.
She understood!
In this world, only Ye Xuan could influence the Plain Dress Woman!
At that moment, Nan Qing suddenly spoke again. “You…”
Qing’er glanced at her. “You’re curious because you can’t sense me, right?”
Nan Qing looked at Qing’er. “I’d like to spar with you!”
Spar!
She had finally decided to act!
Because she wanted to see what kind of existence this person before her was!
Her intuition told her this was an opportunity, though a risky one!
Qing’er opened her palm, and the Xingdao Sword suddenly shot out!
In the distance, Nan Qing’s pupils constricted. She raised her right hand, and instantly, strange runes appeared between heaven and earth.
Great Dao Runes!
At that moment, countless ancient, mysterious chants echoed through the heavens, and with them, terrifying forces erupted across the world!
Ye Xuan and Qin Guan’s faces changed drastically!
Was this the power of the first powerhouse of ancient times?
So terrifying?
But at that moment, with a sword’s cry, all the runes in the heavens turned to nothing. Simultaneously, the Xingdao Sword pierced straight into Nan Qing’s forehead!
Splat!
A stream of blood shot from the back of Nan Qing’s head!
The scene fell silent!
On the altar, Nan Qing looked at Qing’er in disbelief. “You…”
At that moment, her heart was filled with utmost shock!
Qing’er glanced at her. “Weak!”
With that, she grabbed Ye Xuan’s hand to leave. Qin Guan, quick-witted, grabbed Ye Xuan’s right hand.
Swoosh!
A flash of sword light, and the three vanished from the heavens.
Back at the altar, Nan Qing stood dumbfounded.
She wasn’t dead!
Qing’er hadn’t killed her. Of course, for Qing’er, killing or not killing was a matter of whim!
It depended on her mood!
In a good mood, she didn’t kill. In a bad mood, she’d kill everyone!
…
Guanxuan Academy.
Qingqiu looked into the depths of the distant starry sky. After a long while, she turned and left!
…
In a certain spacetime tunnel.
The three were travelling at a terrifying speed!
On either side, countless images flashed by.
Ye Xuan was curious. “Qing’er, what are these images?”
Qing’er said, “The river of time. Some are events that have happened, others are universes you’ve never seen!”
Ye Xuan was shocked. “So many?”
Qing’er nodded slightly.
Ye Xuan asked, “Are Dad and Big Brother in that New World?”
Qing’er shook her head. “I don’t know. I’m not interested in them!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan suddenly said, “Miss Destiny, can people truly go back to the past?”
Qing’er said, “Ordinary people can only return to a past that has already happened!”
Qin Guan looked at her. “You mean, if someone died in the past, and I go back now, they’re still dead, right?”
Qing’er nodded.
Qin Guan immediately asked, “What if I go back to before they died?”
Qing’er looked at her. “Time is an endless river. If someone has died in that river, their life imprint has completely vanished. In that case, no matter when you go back, they’re already dead!”
Qin Guan said gravely, “But I know Yang Bofu once revived some people!”
Qing’er looked at Qin Guan. “If you can defeat the Master of the Great Dao, you can revive those who died. Because the life imprints of the deceased ultimately return to the Ruins of Return, which is guarded by the Master of the Great Dao. So, to revive someone, you must go there, defeat him, and reclaim their life imprint! Of course, that’s assuming he hasn’t destroyed it. If he has, even he can’t do anything!”
Qin Guan was silent for a moment, then said, “I understand!”
She looked at Qing’er. “How strong is the Master of the Great Dao?”
Qing’er’s expression was calm. “Don’t ask me how strong others are in my presence, because in my presence, everyone is weak! Understand?”
Qin Guan: “…”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said softly, “Qing’er, Big Brother and Dad are still pretty impressive!”
Qing’er said indifferently, “Haven’t I beaten them?”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze: “…”
