Keep Going
After the initial shock, Yue Qianchou calmed himself down, re-locked his Divine Sense onto the golden bead, and successfully entered Utopia to quickly sweep through it. Every scene he saw with his Divine Sense felt like he was actually there, clearly not a hallucination. It was because his cultivation had entered the Foundation Establishment Realm that his relationship with the golden bead had undergone further changes.
Yue Qianchou's Divine Sense, like the master of this space, surveyed its vast and beautiful land. Afterwards, his Divine Sense instantly located beside Bai Suzhen, only to see that her peerless face still carried a deep sense of doubt as she looked around from time to time.
Yue Qianchou glanced at Guan Yu and Chen Feng in the distance, lost in thought. After a moment, he called out affectionately in Bai Suzhen's ear, "Sister." The latter looked around alertly.
"Sister, I am Yue Qianchou. Don't worry, and don't speak. I have something to tell you..." Yue Qianchou used her Divine Sense to explain the wonderful uses of Divine Sense that she had just discovered.
Bai Suzhen's doubts were resolved, and her expression returned to calm.
"Sister, do you know? In the Cultivation World, I can only be absolutely certain that there are two people who are truly good to me. When I first stepped into the Cultivation World, I met the first person who was truly good to me, and that was my master, Hao Sansi. Unfortunately, I only realized this after he passed away. The second person is you, sister. With my master gone, you are the only person in the Cultivation World I can entrust everything to, including my life. The mortal world is ruthless, and the cultivation world is cruel. I couldn't bear the loneliness and stepped into this world. Now that I've come this far, I don't want to stop so soon. Please allow me to continue. Having you by my side is my greatest comfort in life. I only hope that one day when I can't go on anymore, or when I'm tired, I can hold you in my arms and sleep peacefully. Sister, can you understand how I feel?" Yue Qianchou said softly, her words filled with tender affection that warmed the heart.
Bai Suzhen remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, her face blossoming with a smile no one had ever seen before—a smile free of all constraints! A thousand years of arduous cultivation, not for the Great Dao, but merely to experience life in the mortal world. She had cultivated from demon to human, yet a demon within her remained a constant companion, an inescapable bond of the word "demon." The Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream from over two hundred years ago had locked her heart away, and she had once lamented her fate in this mortal realm. But now, hearing Yue Qianchou's words, the nightmare vanished, her heart found its home. What did it matter if she was human or demon? With a true friend for a thousand years, what else could she not let go of? She would stay by his side!
Yue Qianchou finished speaking to Bai Suzhen, Qu Ping'er flashed through his mind. He sighed inwardly, hoping that she was also someone he could entrust everything to. But his heart, corrupted by darkness in his past life, found it difficult to completely trust anyone.
"Sister, I will ask you to return Guan Yu and Chen Feng's natal Primordial Spirit to them later," Yue Qianchou suddenly said from the silence.
Bai Suzhen nodded calmly.
"But I hope my sister won't agree," Yue Qianchou said again.
Bai Suzhen was taken aback, then a hint of resentment flashed across her face. She was intelligent and perceptive, how could she not understand her brother's thoughts? He had just said some nice things, and now he wanted his sister to be the bad guy while he was the good guy? Was there such a despicable person? But she still nodded.
"I have another request for you, sister," Yue Qianchou said coldly. "Anyone who comes to our Utopia in the future, unless I have informed you, please collect their life Primordial Spirit."
After Bai Suzhen nodded in agreement, she sighed. It seemed that her younger brother had big ambitions!
"The boss is here!" Chen Feng, who was planting flowers, suddenly exclaimed with joy, Guan Yu also stood up.
Yue Qianchou appeared beside Bai Suzhen with a grin, and the latter couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. He casually waved to his two subordinates, and Guan Yu and Chen Feng quickly ran over.
"I haven't had a drop of water for two days, and I've memorized nearly ten thousand words of Sword Control cultivation technique. They're all stored here." Yue Qianchou pointed to his head and said to the two of them, "Go get me some food, and I'll record it for you." As he spoke, he took out two blank jade tablets from his Storage Bag and waved them at the two of them.
Guan Yu and Chen Feng nodded excitedly and immediately ran off to hunt.
"I want roasted pheasant," Yue Qianchou reminded him. He then held a jade tablet in each hand and concentrated on recording the Sword Control cultivation technique he had memorized. He knew this recording method from his time at the Qingguang Sect, but unfortunately, his Divine Sense wasn't strong enough for the Foundation Establishment Realm. This was his first time using it, and he didn't know how effective it would be. After recording, he infused his Divine Sense to check, and indeed, it wasn't difficult at all.
While waiting for the food, Bai Suzhen asked for the Pill Formula tablet, and unlocked the last three restrictions on it. She also asked for another jade tablet to record her understanding of the formations and gave it to him.
Guan Yu and Chen Feng each carried a jar of wine and a roasted chicken, presenting them to their leader. In return, the latter gave them two jade tablets containing the Sword Control cultivation technique. After Yue Qianchou had filled his stomach with wine and meat, the three of them couldn't wait to begin their cultivation.
For those who have reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, Sword Flight is not a difficult thing. The three of them mastered it in half a day. What is difficult is controlling the sword to defend against enemies. It is not easy to succeed without putting in a lot of hard work.
Seeing that he couldn't succeed in cultivating it in a short time, Yue Qianchou asked Bai Suzhen for their life Primordial Spirit in front of Guan Yu and Chen Feng. Bai Suzhen said expressionlessly, "I have my own plans, I don't need your nonsense." After saying that, she drifted away.
Yue Qianchou wore a wry smile, but Guan Yu and Chen Feng came over to comfort him, telling him not to worry too much and that Sister Bai would never have any ill intentions towards them. He could only shake his head and give up, repeatedly apologizing to the two of them. The two of them had just obtained the sword manual and were in high spirits. Moreover, since their achievements today were all thanks to him, they also comforted him repeatedly.
After putting on a show, Yue Qianchou didn't linger. As soon as he opened the door to his room, he saw Ling Feng and the other two. The three of them were surprised to find Yue Qianchou in the room and stood up. In their memory, Yue Qianchou was someone who rarely came back, and they didn't know what he was busy with all day long.
Yue Qianchou was preoccupied with his own thoughts and had no time for idle chatter. He waved to them, drew his sword, and leaped into the air, soaring away on his sword. The three men were left dumbfounded in the courtyard, savoring the moment. Back then, all four of them were at the Level Ten Qi Refining, but now the difference between them was like heaven and earth. No matter how proud the three men were, they couldn't help but feel a bitter taste in their mouths.
Yue Qianchou flew straight to the Scripture Pavilion on his sword. Once inside, he showed no interest in the other miscellaneous books, focusing instead on opening and examining the boxes containing various Method Formula. He had already discussed this with Bai Suzhen; he would read the texts in the Scripture Pavilion while using his Divine Sense to inform her, while Bai Suzhen copied them down one by one in the bamboo hut. Whether they were useful or not, he wanted all the cultivation Method Formula.
His unusual behavior caught the attention of the custodian of the Scripture Pavilion. While other disciples would spend a long time memorizing a single Method Formula, he would quickly look through them one by one, moving on to another immediately after finishing one. But that was all; he didn't break any rules. The custodian could only conclude that he was looking for some kind of Method Formula.
