"When you came back from the Scroll of Recollection, you should have discovered that someone had entered the reincarnation cycle with you."
Chu Qi was slightly stunned when he heard the words of the founder.
No matter what time, Yan Jiuge will always be by his side.
"Yes, he is always here."
"Opening the Scroll of Tracing the Worlds requires a price. He is the one who shares your fate. If one reincarnation fails to correct his fate, the next time the karma will fall twice on him. Count, how many times has this happened?"
"the third time."
"Third time is better than last time. You must cut off the cause and effect as soon as possible." The Grand Master sighed. He looked at Chu Qi with a complicated gaze, as if he could see his own past through Chu Qi. "Otherwise, you might end up like me, choosing to enter the World Tracing Scroll and accompany him through reincarnation after reincarnation."
"Are you trapped in the Scroll of the Past Worlds?"
"No, I am willing. Because there is no Qi Qingxue in the world anymore, and he can only be found in the scroll of the past."
"…" There is no doubt that the person named "Qi Qingxue" is the one who accompanied the founder into the Tracing World Scroll.
Chu Qi opened his lips, but suddenly could not say anything. He had read some records about the ancestor in the library. The ancestor's medical cultivation method was learned from a disciple of Yaowang Valley, and the two had a very pleasant conversation.
"In short, you have to understand that he wants to get out of the Scroll of History with you."
"Okay, thank you for the reminder, Grandmaster." Chu Qi said in a deep voice.
He will take Yan Jiuge out with him.
"Well, next, I will tell you the secret of the Dual Heart Method."
Chu Qi stayed in the sword tomb for half a day. He learned from the founder of Tianxuan Sect that when the dual heart method is promoted, one has to pass through one more red thunder each time. Before the cause and effect are cut off, don't let the enemy know his ability, it's best to hide it first.
Before leaving, the ancestor gave Chu Qi a soul seal and asked him to go to the library to look for records about the ancient war.
The evil should have been completely driven out during the ancient war, but the sacred tree fell silent and the evil remained, allowing the fate to continue until today, ten thousand years later.
The sword tomb behind him fell into deep sleep again.
Chu Qi did not rush to the library. He just came back from Qiucheng today. If he went to Wenjian Peak first, he could use the excuse of talking about the Double Person's Heart Sutra. It would be a bit deliberate to go to the library later.
First go back to Zhongling Peak to refine medicine, and try to improve your strength as much as possible during this time to adapt to the dual heart method in your body.
*
Zhong Lingfeng, Elder Qingyue and Bai Xuan were all out, leaving only Chu Qi and a large number of spiritual medicines on the entire mountaintop.
The elixir plant hadn't been cared for for several days and its leaves looked a little wilted.
The atmosphere in the Yunhua Realm has been tense recently, and some unrest is inevitable. Even the few medical disciples of the Tianxuan Sect need to go out to help.
Chu Qi touched the leaves of the elixir, his mind a little absent-minded.
He remembered that some things were not without signs.
If the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth continues to decrease, the Yunhua Realm will usher in the Dharma Ending Period, the spiritual roots will gradually disappear, and the cultivators will gradually become ordinary people.
By then, the laws of heaven that constrained the monks would naturally cease to exist. That's why there are instruments like the Tracing World Scroll to make corrections.
The person chosen by the Tracing World Scroll was Chu Qi.
After his death, the Tracing World Scroll will reincarnate again, but the operation of the magic weapon requires a price, so the Tracing World Scroll will plunder Yan Jiuge's luck.
"… "
Putting aside all distracting thoughts, Chu Qi turned his gaze to the medicinal field in front of him.
The spiritual power emanated from his palm, and in just a moment, it nourished the spiritual medicine in front of him. The medicinal field was full of vitality, and the spiritual medicine stretched out its leaves, showing its intimacy to Chu Qi.
When heaven, earth and man are in harmony, all living things thrive.
The medical skills in Chu Qi's body quickly merged with the surrounding environment.
***
Ten days later.
Yunyin Realm, Yan family.
This ceremony is still the Yan family's tradition, held every three years to suppress the evil spirit under the black abyss.
All the Yan family members who participated in the formation were already in place, waiting for the head of the family to seize the right opportunity, open the seal of the Black Abyss, and wait for Yan Jiuge to suppress the evil spirit.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Mingchao.
Yan Mingchao looked at Yan Jiuge with a deep gaze.
As the young master of the Yan family, Yan Jiuge has shouldered too many responsibilities since he was born. This time, as usual, he will continue to suppress the evil spirit under the black abyss.
Compared with his past impetuousness and violent temper, Yan Jiuge is now able to control his own aura, neither sharp nor violent, and looks calm.
Yan Mingchao remembered all these changes. This proved that he had done nothing wrong in sending Yan Jiuge to Yunhua Realm against all odds... However, the child from Yaowang Valley was eventually involved with Yunyin Realm...
"When does it begin?"
When Yan Mingchao's thoughts were scattered, he was slow to make a decision, so Yan Jiuge urged him.
"Wait a little longer, until the formation gathers more spiritual power." This way, Yan Jiuge's risk of being attacked by evil spirits will be reduced.
Yan Jiuge: "It's all the same, just do it as soon as possible."
Seeing Yan Jiuge's insistence, Yan Mingchao turned his gaze to the other tribesmen in the formation and said solemnly, "Prepare to set up the formation."
The spirit gathering formation was lit up the next moment, the black abyss opened, and Yan Jiuge, who was at the center of the formation, entered it and his figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
The atmosphere was silent, and every member of the Yan family focused on inputting their spiritual power into the spirit gathering formation. Yan Mingchao did the same, but for some reason, his eyelids twitched for no reason, and his consciousness suddenly became aware.
Almost at this moment, a ray of light suddenly descended from the eastern sky.
In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and all the spiritual energy rushed towards the direction of the glow.
The laws that wander in the void of the world also changed accordingly. Even the Yan family, which inherited the precepts, could not stop this change.
"Master of the family!" The Yan family members in the formation looked up in shock and looked towards Yan Mingchao helplessly.
"It just happened to be at this time that the evil spirit—" Yan Mingchao frowned, looking at the rosy glow in the sky with a gloomy face, "Quickly stop the ceremony, call out Yan Jiuge, and close the Black Abyss!"
Silent waves of spiritual energy spread outwards in waves. The spirit gathering formation could not bear the burden and disintegrated in the incident.
“BOOM!!”
A heavy thunder was heard in the sky filled with rosy clouds, but there was no sight of dark thunderclouds.
—Just because this is a thunder tribulation of ascension.
When a cultivator's cultivation reaches the peak of the Mahayana stage, he can transcend the tribulation and ascend to the upper realm, and live as long as the heaven and earth. Therefore, this ascension thunder tribulation comes from the upper realm and is not under the jurisdiction of the Yunyin Realm Heavenly Dao.
Born in response to the law, the Ascension Platform will be opened, connecting to the road to the upper realm.
But due to an incident eighteen years ago, the Mahayana cultivator of the Ling family failed in his attempt to ascend to heaven and overcome the calamity. An evil spirit occupied the ascension platform and then plundered the origin of the sacred tree.
This caused the death of the master of Yaowang Valley, and Yaowang Valley closed down and went into seclusion.
There are no Mahayana cultivators in the Yunyin Realm now, so where does this thunder tribulation of ascension come from
Thoughts were surging in Yan Mingchao's mind, but before he could find any clues, a thick, ink-like evil aura surged out from under the black abyss and spread toward the outside of the seal.
The black evil spirit was like a bursting dam, instantly submerging the Demon-Suppressing Stone that was suppressing the edge of the black abyss.
"Boom!" The demon-suppressing stone cracked.
The seal collapsed, and the black abyss that the Yan family had guarded for ten thousand years collapsed.
Yan Mingchao turned around and looked into the abyss, his eyes wide open with disbelief.
"Jiuge!"
"Yan Jiuge!!"
"!"
***
"Bang!" A sudden sound came from in front of Chu Qi.
When Chu Qi came back to his senses, the medicine cauldron that he controlled with his spiritual power had been destroyed. The faint smell of burnt medicine filled the attic, reminding him of what had just happened.
This was the first time in his life that his cauldron exploded while refining medicine.
Huiling Pill is the most basic elixir, he is very familiar with it. He should not make such a big mistake.
Chu Qi raised his hand and placed his palm on his chest. The palpitation just now almost made him forget where he was at the moment.
what happened
The last time I felt such a strong sense of discomfort was eight years ago, when Yan Jiuge lost control.
Chu Qi's fingers trembled slightly.
"Lulu?" Xiao Jin woke up from Chu Qi's feet after noticing his mood, and rubbed his head against his clothes worriedly.
Even the vine ring wrapped around Chu Qi's wrist extended a branch, transmitting spiritual energy to Chu Qi to soothe his mind.
"Something must have happened to A-Yan."
Chu Qi frowned slightly and tried to calm himself down.
The Yan family is in the Yunyin Realm.
According to what Chu Qi learned in the library these days, there is a natural barrier between the Yunhua Realm and the Yunyin Realm, and it is not easy to pass through that barrier.
For the specific method, we need to ask the Yan family members who came from the Yunyin Realm, and Yan Chi, who is now staying near the Tianxuan Sect to refine weapons.
Before leaving Zhongling Peak, Chu Qi summoned Bai Luan and asked it to deliver the elixirs he had refined in the past few days to Yuxiu Peak to replenish the Tianxuan Sect's medicine inventory, and left a message for his master and senior sisters that he was going out.
After dealing with these matters, Chu Qi went down the mountain to find Yan Chi in a swift and decisive manner.
After a while, at the mountain gate of Tianxuan Sect, ten gatekeeper disciples hurriedly registered the waist badges of the disciples who were going out.
Before I could clearly see the name on the badge, I caught a glimpse of a slender figure riding a sword away from the corner of my eye. The ink-blue outer garment quickly blended in with the distant mountains and rivers, making people feel dazed.
"The disciple going out this time is—"
"Zhong Lingfeng... Zhong Lingfeng Chu Qi..."
"What? That person just now was Junior Brother Chu? Isn't he a sword cultivator disciple?"
"Is it possible that my eyes are blurry? I clearly saw a sword energy disappearing into the distance."
"But the name on the waist badge is Junior Brother Chu's name."
"this… "
The mountain breeze was still clear, but the many gatekeeper disciples in front of the mountain were in hesitation.
Chu Qi, who was flying away on a sword, didn't care about so much. With his level of cultivation, the speed of flying on a sword was several times faster than riding on a white phoenix or a flying spiritual weapon.
The situation is urgent, so we have to travel as fast as possible.
So, when Yan Chi had just finished refining the space jade and pushed the door open, intending to take a break and stretch his body, he saw a sword light coming from the sky and falling directly in front of him.
"What? What? Yan Jiuge, you came back too quickly this time, didn't you? Even the debt collectors are not as anxious as you. Besides, I have already refined the spatial spiritual jade, so there is no need for you to be like this—ah?!"
After seeing the person clearly, Yan Chi's words of excuse for himself came to an abrupt end. He stared blankly at the Gui Yin Sword, which had the same aura as the Long Yin Sword. He glanced at the person who came again, and his voice unconsciously became softer.
"Chu Qi?"
