Supreme Demon Hall.
The hall was spacious and wide like a parade square, and it was decorated with extraordinary carvings of dragons and phoenixes.
“Luochen, I’ve already prepared everything for you, you just need to sit at the array platform and wait.”
“After I start the formation, you don’t have to care about anything else. Just digest and absorb the energy in your body. The process might be a little painful, but you have to bear with it.”
The Fiend Lord explained to Xu Luochen the matter regarding the changing of heavenly fate.
“Father, I understand.”
Xu Luochen nodded seriously.
He previously thought that his newly-found father was fooling him, but when he saw the Fiend Lord setting up this formation and taking out the various treasures, he couldn’t help but be stunned.
‘This is just too extravagant.’
Xu Luochen did not know what those things were, nor had he seen them before.
However, he was still an alchemist after all and could distinguish between good and bad treasures.
That made him a little anxious and worried.
‘In case he suddenly finds out that I’m not his son, will he kill me?’
Just like that, Xu Luochen walked to the center of the array platform in the main hall and sat down.
“Luochen, if you feel anything is wrong, call me.”
The Fiend Lord said concernedly as he was more nervous than Xu Luochen.
“Alright.”
Xu Luochen answered.
“Great Divine Silkworm Fate Reversal Technique!”
“Fate Reversal Array Formation!”
The Fiend Lord then activated the formation, and in an instant, bright rays of light charged into the sky. The shadow of a divine silkworm appeared and spat out some silk that wrapped Xu Luochen up.
Xu Luochen immediately felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring as the pores of his body opened and energy surged into his body, making him feel warm and comfortable.
At this moment…
Seemingly having sensed something, the Fiend Lord vanished and appeared outside the hall.
A handsome young man appeared outside the hall. He had an ethereal aura and was just like an immortal who had descended in the mortal world.
“Who are you?”
The Fiend Lord asked with a hostile gaze.
The fact that the young man could appear outside his Supreme Demon Hall without making a single sound was extraordinary.
“I’m Su Changyu, the eldest Senior Brother of the Qingyun Dao Sect.”
“When Xu Luochen wakes up, give this letter to him if he wants to return to the Qingyun Dao Sect.”
Su Changyu looked at the Fiend Lord and said so.
In his previous letter, Daoist Tai Hua had informed Su Changyu about Xu Luochen’s condition and told him to take care of Xu Luochen.
Hence, Su Changyu used a divination method to deduce the situation of his Junior Sisters and Junior Brothers in the sect. When he learned of Xu Luochen’s situation, Su Changyu felt that he had to make a trip there to confirm things.
After seeing the situation, Su Changyu couldn’t help but feel relieved.
He didn’t say anything else and vanished after handing the letter to the Fiend Lord.
“I didn’t expect there to be such an existence in this world. Eldest Senior Brother of the Qingyun Dao Sect? Why haven’t I heard of him?”
The Fiend Lord looked at the direction Su Changyu disappeared in and muttered in surprise.
At the same time…
Under the ground, Daoist Xu Xuan looked at the information sent from the Fiendcelestial Cult, full of disbelief.
“Su Changyu is the master of Gu Jianxian, the second Sword Immortal of the world. He is also the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Eldest Senior Brother of the Qingyun Dao Sect.”
“He killed an enemy with a single move of his sword in Qingyun Dao Sect.”
“How is that possible?”
Daoist Xu Xuan was dumbfounded.
If he didn’t know that the Fiendcelestial Cult wouldn’t give him false information, he wouldn’t have believed it at all.
‘This is really outrageous and absurd.’
He knew of the Qingyun Dao Sect.
It was the hidden sect that his junior brother, Daoist Tai Hua, belonged to.
Yet, he was now told that Daoist Tai Xuan was killed by a disciple of such a sect.
He hadn’t met Daoist Tai Hua’s disciples.
However, he was very sure that a small sect like the Qingyun Dao Sect that was helmed by Daoist Tai Hua, who had been mortalized, wouldn’t have any impressive disciples.
He thought that even if there were any talented disciples, they would at most be at the Golden Core realm.
Slaying a Mahayana realm cultivator seemed far-fetched.
‘Could this be Tai Hua’s final trump card?’
Daoist Xu Xuan couldn’t help but wonder.
After thinking about it for a moment, Daoist Xu Xuan planned to go to the Qingyun Dao Sect to secretly check and find out if Daoist Tai Xuan had left any useful information in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
At the same time…
At the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect.
Gu Jianxian was sitting cross-legged and comprehending the Sword Dao.
He had been wondering why Su Changyu knocked thrice on his head when he left.
“Three! The Dao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three leads to many more!”
“Back then, Master told me that cutting through the sun, moon, and stars with a single blade of grass is the Sword Dao.”
“However, this time, Master used all things in the world, the sun, moon and stars, mountains, rivers and grass as the sword.”
“Everything can be used as a sword!”
Gu Jianxian comprehended the sword. He seemed to have been enlightened but also seemed to have not done so.
At this moment, a ray of spiritual light suddenly appeared in Gu Jianxian’s mind and made him feel like he had grasped something.
The scene of Ye Ping putting down the sword and picking it up again on the rear cliff appeared in his mind.
One sword move would lead to endless other ones, and when he reached the end of the Sword Dao, becoming a Sword Immortal had become his obsession.
If one’s obsession was too strong, they would have to learn to put it down.
One should pick up the Sword Dao in their heart only after letting go of one’s obsessions.
‘Yes, isn’t that sword move that Master executed the Sword Dao I want?’
‘This is the Supreme Sword Dao!’
“Master, I’ve comprehended. The third one means that everything in this world represents my Sword Dao and my obsession! I’ve understood!”
“Thank you for your teaching, Uncle-Master.”
Gu Jianxian was extremely excited as he realized that Su Changyu had given him pointers about the Sword Dao when he met him just now.
Regardless of when Su Changyu was teaching him or Ye Ping the Sword Dao, Gu Jianxian had never comprehended the meaning within.
‘So much for being called the best Sword Immortal in the world. Yet, I’ve never comprehended the meaning within it.’
At this moment, Gu Jianxian completely understood.
In an instant, Gu Jianxian got up and his sword intent and Sword Qi charged into the sky like a supreme divine sword.
At the same time…
In a valley of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
“Go, the Qilin Divine Fruit is about to ripen soon.”
The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard said to Chen Lingrou.
“Is it really going to be okay? Is that monkey really not strong?”
Chen Lingrou asked worriedly.
‘If that monkey is really not strong, why do I have to be the one to pick it?’
‘He could have just picked the fruit himself.’
Chen Lingrou wouldn’t believe it if it was just because she was fast. She wasn’t a fool either.
The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard began to get annoyed.
Chen Lingrou had asked that question umpteen times in the past few days.
“The monkey won’t care about you because you’re so weak that you might go unnoticed.”
The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard said.
Chen Lingrou was speechless.
She didn’t expect that to be the truth that she had been trying hard to find out.
The truth was harsh and cruel.
“Hurry up and go, the fruit is ripe. When the monkey comes out later, I’ll stop him.”
The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard urged.
At this moment, the Qilin Divine Fruit had already emitted a crystalline, luxurious light and a fragrance.
Chen Lingrou was feeling terrible and she picked the Qilin Divine Fruit miserably.
When she came to the side of the secluded pool, she extended her arm to pick the fruit.
All of a sudden, waves surged in the pond and a massive figure emerged.
Holding the Qilin Divine Fruit, Chen Lingrou was dumbfounded when she saw the situation.
The figure in front of her was several feet long and resembled an ape. It was emitting an oppressive and suffocating ferociousness.
‘Damn it, it’s a white monkey?’
‘It doesn’t have any other qualities apart from being fast?’
‘This doesn’t seem like a smart or agile monkey.’
Chen Lingrou was dumbfounded.
She felt that she had been deceived.
The ape in the water moved and began swinging its fist at Chen Lingrou with an oppressive might.
“Ah… Ah!!! King, help!”
Chen Lingrou cried for help.
The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard had already prepared for the failure of the plan and did not hesitate to strike.
Boom!
The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard fought with the ape and dealt him a hard blow.
Chen Lingrou was blasted away by the aftershock and she landed hard on the ground.
At this moment, something rolled out of her storage bag.
It was a fossilized egg.
It was the egg that Chen Lingrou had obtained from the Seven Kings’ legacy.
Chen Lingrou felt a little puzzled because it didn’t make sense for something to drop out of her storage bag.
“Let’s go.”
The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard dashed over to take Chen Lingrou away.
Chen Lingrou didn’t think much of it at that time as she quickly picked up the egg and got ready to flee.
However, all of a sudden…
The Qilin Divine Fruit in Chen Lingrou’s hand turned into pure energy that flowed into the stone egg in her hand.
“My Qilin Divine Fruit!”
The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard couldn’t help but yell when it saw that scene.
It had waited for such a long time, all for the sake of that fruit to make its blood purer.
Yet, the fruit had gone missing.
The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard felt upset. It didn’t want to flee anymore and would rather die on the spot.
Roar!
The ape roared into the sky and punched Chen Lingrou.
Chen Lingrou was terrified and a jade token appeared in her hand.
It was a treasure that Xiao Muxue had given her to protect herself. However, before the jade token was activated, a mass of auspicious clouds emerged and gathered above Chen Lingrou’s head to block the punch for her so that she could be unharmed.
The auspicious clouds continued to gather, making the entire mountain range seem sacred and extraordinary.
Ka-cha.
Ka-cha.
Ka-cha.
There was a crisp and clear sound of Chen Lingrou’s stone egg breaking.
The stone egg rose to the sky, and a Qilin emerged from within.
The auspicious clouds and golden rays of light spread outwards. A Qilin with a lion head, antlers, tiger eyes, elk body, dragon scales, ox tail, horse hooves, and golden aura engulfing it appeared in the void.
Chen Lingrou couldn’t help but be dumbfounded when she saw the Qilin.
When she obtained the fossilized egg in the Seven Ancient Kings mystic realm at the beginning, she was extremely upset.
After all, there was no point in having a fossilized egg.
Even if there was a True Dragon or Qilin within, it would be pointless.
She didn’t expect a Qilin to hatch from the egg.
At this moment, Chen Lingrou was overjoyed.
She was the biggest winner. Not only had she obtained the inheritance of the Sword King, but she also obtained the stone egg and the Qilin.
Chen Lingrou could already imagine the scene of herself riding the Qilin and flying through the sky.
‘Once I return to the Qingyun Dao Sect, I’ll see if anyone dares to call me a wastrel who does nothing except read books!’
“Retreat on your own.”
The Qilin said to the ape.
Roar!
The ape roared reluctantly.
It had waited in that dark pool for a long period of time, so it was obviously not willing to have someone pick its fruit of labor.
“Do you dare to disobey me?”
The Qilin spoke again and the aura of the demonic beast spread around it, making the ape freeze.
There was a hierarchy among the demonic beasts according to their bloodline. The Qilin were the kings of the demonic beasts who had an innate bloodline suppression.
In this case, the Qilin wouldn’t have to do anything at all and the ape would be suppressed by its bloodline.
The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard began shuddering because there was a wisp of Qilin bloodline in his body which made the suppression even more terrifying.
The ape immediately roared and began begging for mercy.
The aura of the Qilin converged and the ape quickly retreated.
Seeing this situation, Chen Lingrou’s eyes lit up and she seemed extremely excited.
‘Impressive!’
‘With this spiritual pet, I can excel in this world of immortal cultivation.’
She couldn’t help but get on the Qilin.
“Atrocious, what are you trying to do?”
The Qilin immediately rebuked Chen Lingrou’s behavior.
“Aren’t you my spiritual pet? What’s wrong with me riding you?”
Chen Lingrou retorted.
“Atrocious, I’m a divine beast, the ancient Qilin Emperor. Since when am I your spiritual pet?”
When the Ancient Qilin Emperor heard that, its gaze immediately turned hostile as it said those words.
“You were clearly hatched from my egg and you ate my fruit too.”
Chen Lingrou felt extremely aggrieved.
Life is full of ups and downs. She initially saw an egg and yet a Qilin was hatched from it. In the end, the Qilin refused to acknowledge her.
“That was obviously my fruit.”
At this moment, the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard spoke up too as it felt that it was the one who should be the most aggrieved.
“I’m not an unreasonable person. You do deserve some credit for my birth this time.”
“In consideration of your merit, I shall give you a drop of sacred blood.”
The Qilin looked at the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard and said.
He then gave a drop of Sacred Qilin Blood to the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard.
“Thank you, Ancient Emperor. Thank you, Ancient Emperor.”
The Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard urged.
To him, the Sacred Qilin Blood was of great help as it wasn’t inferior to the Qilin Divine Fruit at all.
Afterwards, the Qilin Ancient Emperor looked at Chen Lingrou who was staring at it.
“You and I are fated.”
“I shall make you my human pet then.”
The Ancient Qilin Emperor said arrogantly.
Chen Lingrou fell silent.
‘Human pet?’
‘My pet is making me its pet?’
Chen Lingrou was so upset that she felt an urge to cry.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
“Junior Sister.”
A calm voice sounded and an invincible-looking young man appeared. He was eight feet tall, handsome and had a domineering aura.
At that time, Su Changyu had done a divination to find out the situation of all his Junior Sisters and Junior Brothers, and thus he found out that Chen Lingrou was nearby. Besides, it also showed that Chen Lingrou was having an opportunity.
There was danger involved, so Su Changyu went over.
Chen Lingrou, who was in a state of misery, couldn’t help but be stunned, so she raised her head to look over.
When she saw the familiar and handsome face, Chen Lingrou was stunned.
It was her eldest Senior Brother, Su Changyu.
‘Why has Eldest Senior Brother become even more handsome after I haven’t seen him in a while? He seems to be becoming an immortal and his hair has turned white too.’
“Eldest Senior Brother.”
Chen Lingrou exclaimed when she saw Su Changyu.
“Big Brother.”
At this moment, the Qilin dashed over immediately when it saw Su Changyu.
“Qilin?”
Su Changyu was stunned and he finally saw the Qilin beside him.
‘What’s going on? Why did the Qilin call me Big Brother?’
Su Changyu immediately figured out that it must be that his appearance and aura were so extraordinary that the Qilin had naturally subdued.
Previously in the King’s Territory, Su Changyu was honestly a little envious when he saw Ye Ping riding the Longma that he had conquered.
After all, mounts were often arrogant.
As a supreme Sword Immortal, how could he not have a divine beast as a mount?
At this moment, Su Changyu felt that the Qilin in front of him was not bad.
‘Being called the Qilin Sword Immortal Su Changyu seems to be not bad.’
Su Changyu immediately thought.
“Big Brother, don’t you know me? I’m Aotian.”
Seeing how high and mighty Su Changyu was, the Ancient Qilin Emperor continued to speak agitatedly.
“Aotian?”
Su Changyu couldn’t help but be stunned because he hadn’t heard of it before.
However, the Qilin seemed to know him.
“Yes, Aotian. I’m Gu Aotian! Big Brother, have you forgotten me?”
The Qilin Ancient Emperor continued to say to Su Changyu in a melancholic voice.
“Big Brother, it seems that you have lost your memory after you reincarnated in that battle. You were the Longevity Immortal King, the leader of humans, while I was the Ancient Qilin Emperor, the emperor of demons. We are sworn brothers.”
“At the time we guarded the peace of all races in this world and fought against the darkness. Although we managed to suppress the darkness, I exhausted my energy and turned into a stone egg. I’ve been living in loneliness until now, I didn’t expect to meet you after I woke up.”
The Ancient Qilin Emperor explained to Su Changyu seriously.
Su Changyu couldn’t help but shudder after hearing that as he thought about some scenes.
He couldn’t remember anything and didn’t know what the other party was talking about.
Although he had many more things in his mind previously, these were not part of the memories he gained.
‘Why was I the Longevity Immortal King?’
‘Shouldn’t I be Immortal King Changyu?’
‘Was that what I used to be called?’
Su Changyu didn’t think much about it.
‘Who cares if it’s the Longevity Immortal King or Immortal King Changyu?’
‘What matters is that I’m powerful.’
“Aotian?”
Su Changyu called out softly.
“Big Brother.”
The Ancient Qilin Emperor answered agitatedly as soon as it heard that.
“Aotian?”
Su Changyu called again.
“Big Brother.”
The Ancient Qilin Emperor teared up, and it was getting worked up over the fact that Su Changyu had finally recognized it.
Seeing that it was about time, Su Changyu couldn’t help but reveal his agenda.
“Aotian, I have some errands to run now that require me to go to some places, but I don’t have a mount yet. It’d be inconvenient for me to get around, can you sacrifice your comfort and let me… ride you?”
Su Changyu asked nervously, afraid that he might have been too straightforward.
After all, it was Qilin and he had to build a relationship with it first.
However, Su Changyu didn’t have much time to do that.
“No problem, Big Brother. Come ride me!”
The Ancient Qilin Emperor didn’t turn Su Changyu down and instead took the initiative to be Su Changyu’s mount.
Su Changyu was excited because he didn’t expect the Qilin to agree directly.
It was a divine beast after all.
He would seem so mighty and dashing if he rode it around.
However, he remained indifferent on the surface.
“Aotian, you’re so magnanimous, you deserve to be my sworn brother. I won’t forget you.”
Su Changyu said and then rode on the Qilin.
Su Changyu was over the moon and felt a strange sense of familiarity.
It was as if he had ridden the Qilin before.
“Big Brother, where are you going?”
The Ancient Qilin Emperor asked while clouds revolved around its feet and rays of light shone brightly. It looked incredibly extraordinary.
Su Changyu, who was riding the Qilin, was giving off an indescribable vibe as he was completely like a true immortal.
“The Dragon Palace of the East Ocean.”
Su Changyu said.
“Okay. Sit tight, Big Brother.”
The Ancient Qilin Emperor said and the auspicious clouds on its feet moved before vanishing in the sky.
In the same place, the Turquoise-eyed Qilin-Leopard and Chen Lingrou froze right on the spot and stared at them vanishing in the sky.
“Eldest Senior Brother, it’s clearly my Qilin…”
Chen Lingrou watched as Su Changyu vanished with the Qilin, feeling so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.
Su Changyu, who was on the Qilin, felt that he had forgotten something.
However, the thrill of riding the Qilin distracted him from thinking about it.
