Chapter 78 The Same World Will

Today, the Nine Heavens and the Lower Realm are no longer closed. Although Liu Xueer is still a mortal for the time being, it will not be difficult for her to reach the Upper Realm if there is help from immortals.

"Senior Sister Xue'er is truly the most diligent swordsman I've ever seen. She's already broken through to the Golden Core stage after only three years of cultivation. Our cultivation speed is truly shameful in comparison."

"Who said it wasn't? He's truly worthy of being brought back by Fairy Qingyuan..."

Seeing the immortal being ordered to take Liu Xueer to the upper world, the surrounding disciples showed envy. Currently, only Liu Xueer has the power to freely go between the upper and lower worlds. It is a great opportunity to see the immortals in the ninth heaven with her own eyes.

But it is something that cannot be envied, because Liu Xueer was once the Fairy Qingyuan's person. Now that the goddess has passed away, Liu Xueer has become one of the few people who have come into contact with the goddess. Naturally, her status has risen and become extremely noble.

On the other side, Liu Xueer followed to the upper realm, holding the relic left by Fairy Qingyuan tightly in her hand. She kept her eyes straight and ignored everything in the Ninth Heaven.

In fact, in the first year of her practice, the brother she once loved came to see her.

But the reality disappointed her greatly. The person she had loved and accompanied since childhood had now changed beyond all recognition. He came to her only to take advantage of her current status to gain more benefits.

Liu Xueer thought again of what Fairy Qingyuan had said to her, saving her from danger, and decided to cut off all feelings that day and focus on practicing the ruthless way.

Now the only person she cares about is her benefactor, Fairy Qingyuan.

The atmosphere among the immortals in the Ninth Heaven was gloomy and terrifying. They traveled all the way to the Zixia Palace. The palace gate, which was usually open all year round, was now tightly closed, with a depressing and gloomy atmosphere.

If I didn't know that this was the upper realm, I would probably mistake it for a ghost cave.

Perhaps knowing what Liu Xueer brought, the originally heavy palace gate finally slowly opened, and the deep tunnel came into Liu Xueer's eyes. She took a deep breath and slowly walked in.

No one can enter except her.

Of course, even if they could enter, no one would want to go in. After all, the scene in front of them is terrifying just to look at.

Liu Xueer, the only one who could enter, knew the horror of it. If it was not related to Fairy Qingyuan, she would definitely not be willing to come.

Liu Xueer walked into the inner gate of Zixia Fairy Palace, turned the corner and walked through several long corridors until she stopped in front of a slightly smaller room.

This is the room where Fairy Qingyuan once lived. Since the fairy's death, Immortal Master Ji Chen has been living in it. Most of the time, he does not allow anyone to enter and he never comes out.

He would inform the immortals of anything that happened in the Nine Heavens through telepathy.

Immortal Master Ji Chen imprisoned himself here in an almost pathological form for three whole years.

"Immortal Lord, I have come with the goddess's relics."

Liu Xueer prepared herself mentally before finally speaking.

"Come in."

Ji Chen only uttered two bytes, and Liu Xueer felt a chill from the soles of her feet. Her voice was usually as gentle as jade, but now it sounded chilling, as if it was a ghost crawling out of the underworld.

Liu Xueer thought of the ghost lord who occasionally appeared in Qingyun Peak, and compared Ji Chen's voice with that of the ghost lord. There didn't seem to be much difference in comparison.

She resisted the urge to shudder and finally walked into the room.

The inside was not much different from before, but in the center of the room there was a huge blood ball that exuded an ominous aura. It would flash from time to time. At first glance, it looked like a beating heart that was sucking blood.

That’s right, he is sucking the blood of Immortal Master Ji Chen.

Looking to the right, you can still see Ji Chen's pale face and thin body.

Compared to the Immortal Master Ji Chen three years ago, he is now obviously thinner and more frightening. His bloodshot eyeballs move slightly, not much different from an evil ghost that is about to devour people.

Liu Xueer felt a surge of fear in her heart, but she pretended not to see it, just like she had done the previous times, and stepped forward to place the goddess's relics in front of the Immortal Lord.

"This is what the Great Elder asked me to give you."

There was a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

"Well, go out."

Ji Chen seemed to have used all his strength to lift his drooping eyelids. At just one glance, one could see the emptiness in his eyes, as if he was staring into a bottomless abyss.

"Yes, Immortal Venerable."

Liu Xueer almost had the urge to run away, but she lowered her head and silently took a look at the goddess's relics, and finally turned and left.

...

Ji Chen stared at the jade box in front of him with a serious gaze, and just looked at it quietly for a long time. Time passed by minute by minute, and no one knew how long it had been before he stretched out his slender fingertips and gently touched the jade box.

The slightly cool touch made Ji Chen's fingertips tremble slightly, and he was hesitant to open it.

Perhaps after a long period of mental preparation, he gently pressed the copper buckle, and then...

There was nothing inside, only a small fluorescent ball that slowly floated in front of him, at eye level.

"A dignified Immortal Master has become so decadent. If Jiang Jiu saw this, he would definitely be disappointed. The once bright and clear Master has become as emaciated as a skeleton and has lost all hope."

Xiao Lingying's voice is no longer as childish as before. It sounds very mature and she speaks more maturely than before.

If Jiang Jiu were really here now, he would definitely be shocked.

"You are also sent by Heaven, right?"

Ji Chen's eyes swept over Xiao Lingying, his tone unclear and obscure, difficult to understand.

He had cultivated to such a level that he could see the essence of most things at a glance. For example, this small ball of light in front of him looked extremely similar to the Heavenly Dao. Even if it was not the Heavenly Dao itself, it was inseparable from the Heavenly Dao.

Perhaps the Heavenly Dao wanted him to do something, but Ji Chen did not intend to pay attention. Or it could be said that his mind was no longer on this world that betrayed his lover.

All he did was to survive.

"I don't want to be associated with that kind of trash."

Xiao Lingying shook left and right to express her denial, with a strong tone of disgust, as if being touched by the Way of Heaven was like being touched by something dirty.

“…”

Ji Chen didn't say anything and his expression didn't change. He probably didn't believe what Xiao Lingying said.

"I am the world will of Jiang Jiuyuan's world. It seems that I am very similar to the heavenly way of your world. We do play a similar role."

Seeing that Ji Chen was unmoved, Xiao Lingying could only reluctantly explain.

As soon as he finished speaking, the emptiness in Ji Chen's eyes seemed to brighten in an instant. He tried hard to support his body and sit up, but fell back weakly.

His body had already become weak due to long-term bloodletting.

"Are you...are you here to save her?"

Ji Chen didn't care whether Jiang Jiu would never see him again because of this, he just wanted her to come back alive.

"She is one of my people, so of course I have the responsibility to protect her. So, please stop using these crooked methods of yours. Not only can they not save her, but they will also hinder me."

Xiao Lingying said as a matter of course.
