chapter 2094 daoist heavenly feather’s advice

long chen and ye zhiqiu left, all the time holding hands. they said goodbye to nangong zuiyue, beitang rushuang, and ye lingshan.

long chen wanted to go back into seclusion, but when he said his goodbyes, nangong zuiyue and beitang rushuang blushed slightly. he immediately realized that they had misunderstood, thinking that he had gone into seclusion for the sake of continuing the human race. after realizing that, he felt that talking about it would only make it worse, so he didn’t explain.

“don’t work so hard that you miss the gathering tomorrow,” said beitang rushuang, winking at him.

seeing that smile that also didn’t look like a smile, long chen felt a fiery sensation. she was definitely a killer seductress.

beitang rushuang, nangong zuiyue, and ye lingshan left together. ye zhiqiu had a rare rosiness on her cheeks. looking at long chen, she said, “they misunderstood.”

“that means that their thoughts are inherently dirty. don’t mind them,” said long chen.

everyone else scattered, doing whatever they wanted to do. as for long chen, he declined dongfang yuyang’s invitation to a banquet that night. he didn’t want any more trouble.

he also saw that dongfang yuyang was only being polite. it was a token invitation, not sincere at all.

perhaps long chen was too domineering and refused to give him face. long chen had too many enemies, and if he really went to the banquet, it was likely that no one would be eating.

long chen also didn’t want to deal with those people any more than he had to, let alone eat with them. it was better for him to chat with ye zhiqiu.

ye lingshan accepted the invitation to the banquet, as did nangong zuiyue and beitang rushuang. after all, their status made it so that they had to attend. they represented their powers. they didn’t have long chen’s freedom.

beneath the banyan trees and beside a trickling creek, ye zhiqiu and long chen quietly sat within a little pavilion.

long chen lay on ye zhiqiu’s thigh, using a leaf to cover his eyes. smelling her fragrance, he felt at peace.

“zhiqiu, do you still remember when we first met?” long chen smiled.

ye zhiqiu rubbed long chen’s forehead, a trace of warmth appearing in her eyes. “of course i remember. at that time, we were still young. we all longed to step into the cultivation world and become the brightest star in people’s eyes. we had grand dreams of our names being immortalized throughout history. however, even after so many years, even though our cultivation bases grow ever higher, we have only ended up with more worries and pressure.”

the qi flow of the world had changed. this was the greatest tribulation ever. through the descriptions in some ancient documents, it was estimated that the qi flow eruption this time would be several times greater than what had ever occurred.

others believed that this might very well be the final qi flow eruption for the martial heaven continent. it would also be the final great era. all the continent’s resources were about to be unleashed, and then it would fully decline until it was destroyed.

that was why this was the best era and the worst era for the martial heaven continent. the martial heaven continent would only survive if it could produce history’s strongest sovereign.

even though the great era had been here for so long, even though so many heavenly geniuses had been born, there was not one expert who seemed like a sovereign.

if this continued, daoist heavenly feather was worried that even before the dark era came, the martial heaven continent would be too damaged to fight.

long chen slowly sat up. kneeling on the railing, he looked at the fish swimming in the creek, fighting over a piece of food.

“actually, there are many instances where understanding things is useless. your master wants the world to be peaceful, but so what? is that really possible? no, it’s not. true peace can never appear. competing is the natural instinct of life. fish compete with other fish, beasts compete with other beasts, and humans compete with other humans. there is a competition of good and bad, light and dark. we cannot escape that as long as we live in this world. even if a sovereign appeared, it would only be a temporary suppression of this kind of fighting. once the sovereign is gone, the fighting will start anew. without a sovereign present, are people going to stop fighting just because i say i want peace? no, that will only make them mock me. so while i understand your master’s meaning, i can’t do it. even if i went to that banquet and expressed my good intentions, it wouldn’t have any use. someone who wants to kill me won’t let me off just because i lower my head to them once. in fact, going there would make me lose a chance to get stronger. if you want peace, you need the power of a sovereign. without that level of power, you’ll simply be slaughtered. sorry zhiqiu, i don’t want to put you in a bad position.” long chen looked at ye zhiqiu apologetically. he couldn’t try what daoist heavenly feather wanted him to.

ye zhiqiu shook her head. walking over to him, she wrapped an arm around his elbow, looking into his eyes. “i was just transmitting my master’s words. now i’m done, and my mission is complete. i’ve already chosen you. whether you climb a mountain of blades or go into a sea of fire, i will accompany you. whether that’s right or wrong isn’t important. what’s important is just that you’re beside me. i could die for you once, and i can die for you again.”

looking into her clear eyes, long chen almost cried. just what had he done to make a fairy like ye zhiqiu willing to die for him? thinking about how she had fallen in his arms as her life faded away, his heart ached.

“don’t worry, i’ll get stronger. i won’t make the same mistake twice. even if i can’t become a sovereign, i will protect you. i won’t let anyone hurt any of you.” long chen rested both of his hands on ye zhiqiu’s shoulders, swearing.

he pulled ye zhiqiu away. “let’s go. i want to get my underworld spirit beads.”

the two of them returned to the auction room. the middle-aged man had said that he would send them to him once they were done counting, but long chen had said that he would rather personally go because he was about to quickly spend them all.

“oh?”

long chen suddenly came to a sudden stop. an expression of wild delight appeared on his face, and he hugged ye zhiqui.

“i’m rich, i’m rich!”
