Chapter 69 The Emperor's Eldest Son (26)

Changqing said nothing, rolled up his sleeves, and led Old Wu into the array below, where runes shimmered.

Before anyone present could react, they heard screams coming from below.

At the same time, the runes of the entire formation rolled, and thousands of golden rays shot into the sky, bringing auspiciousness and causing the extremely yin and evil aura that had been leaking out to gradually dissipate.

"Cangwu!"

Su Rongrong realized what was happening, shouted, and was about to pounce on him.

But they were stopped.

With a wave of her golden hand, she and her son Su Bai were imprisoned in place.

"Su Rongrong! Do you intend to make an enemy of all living beings?" Zhuo Bufan asked coldly.

“We will not allow you to ruin such a sacred moment. Emperor Yue’s willingness to sacrifice himself is a blessing for all people. Anyone who dares to obstruct him is going against Gan Zheng.” Gan Zheng also spoke up.

Zhao Laosan was startled and immediately knelt down.

"I, Zhao Laosan, will forever remember the kindness of Emperor Yue and will dedicate my life to worshiping the statue of Emperor Yue so that he may enjoy supreme merit."

The others also knelt down in front of the great formation.

For a time, voices praising and extolling the emperor rose and fell.

Two lines of clear tears streamed down Su Rongrong's face, while Su Bai's face was deathly pale, as if he had just experienced the most terrifying hell in the world.

Three full hours passed.

Three figures emerged from the formation.

Changqing still held Yue Cangwu in his hand, but Yue Cangwu was now all white-haired, withered, and extremely weak.

But, surprisingly, he was still alive.

Changqing placed him on the high platform, then walked down and knelt on one knee first.

"Emperor Yue suppressed the Demon Abyss with almost all of his imperial blood, leaving him with nearly no cultivation. As his son, Changqing deeply admires him. From now on, he will search far and wide for famous mountains in search of items that prolong life..."

Others also began to perform in a similar manner.

On the stage, Yue Cangwu opened his cloudy eyes, spread his hands, and made a hoarse sound. He was accusing and protesting, but his voice was drowned out by a chorus of praise.

Who the hell wants this kind of merit?!

He was filled with anger and bitterness, yet he could do nothing about it; he felt his life slipping away.

......

Changqing left Diguan.

He used the excuse of searching for an elixir to prolong his father's life.

He didn't kill Yue Cangwu; it would be too easy for his scumbag father to die. Letting him live and experience it would be more interesting.

However, to Changqing's surprise, not only did the cultivation world praise the Great Emperor for his concern for all living beings, but he himself also gained a reputation as a filial son. Everyone said that he was extremely filial and sincere. Although he had disagreements with his father, he still saved his father's life at the critical moment. Moreover, he made a grand vow to travel to famous mountains and rivers to make efforts to prolong his father's life.

"Hahaha, this is so funny!"

Changqing burst into laughter.

He certainly wasn't really looking for any elixir to prolong life; Yue Cangwu had already lost his will to live, and no elixir would be effective for him.

Not many months later.

He died in the imperial palace in the capital.

As for Su Rongrong and Su Bai, they moved back to Tingyun Pavilion.

Changqing did not attend the funeral.

He didn't go, and naturally, neither did the owner of Wan Jin Lou and the others. Since these people didn't go, it was inappropriate for others to go as well.

The result was that he was praised to the skies in public, but the funeral was deserted and no one was there at all.

...

"Hey, Yue Changqing, you want 100,000 Xuan Crystals for just one seasoning recipe? You're being too greedy."

Liu Lingxin stared wide-eyed at Chang Qing in disbelief.

Changqing smiled.

"Holy Maiden, I've heard that you won big in that high-stakes gamble where tens of thousands lost everything, winning over a million Xuan Crystals. Do you really need that little bit more?"

"Me!" Liu Lingxin stamped her foot. "My father found out I gambled and took all of it away!"

Behind him, Aunt Hong came up and tossed a storage bag to Changqing.

"One hundred thousand Xuan Crystals, not a single one less."

Changqing weighed it in his hand, and then a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

He took out a thin piece of animal hide and handed it to Liu Lingxin.

"Here it is. The relevant ingredients are prepared according to the method, and then mixed together, and it is ready."

Liu Lingxin smiled, her beauty captivating.

"Thank you very much, Brother Changqing!"

...

Even after Yue Cangwu died, Changqing continued to travel throughout the four regions and five continents. Cultivators often claimed to have seen this legendary figure, the undisputed number one cultivator.

However, decades later, all traces of him gradually disappeared.

Some speculate that he may have broken through the void and gone to the upper realm.

After all, this world also has legends of shattering the void.
