Chapter 124: Unable to Be a Hero



The murderous intent in Xuanyuan Tunhan's heart flashed by and quickly dissipated.

If Yi Tianling and Ning Xianyu's system could help him find the stone, that would be a simpler way.

He had been searching for so many years with little success, but after the two of them showed up, he found two pieces in succession.

Does this mean that with them, it will be easier to find stones?

Perhaps the turning point in ten thousand years will come here.

There might not be ten thousand years left in this world, so he must seize the time and not miss any possibility.

Seeing that Yi Tianling was still climbing up the dome, Xuanyuan Tunhan looked around, suddenly poked his body a few times, broke through the restrictions of spiritual power, jumped up and flew directly to the top of the dome.

He used his hands and feet to grab the dome, and with a strong push he pushed the stone down.

This stone is really a fragment of the Sky-Repairing Stone.

Xuanyuan Tunhan was delighted and was about to put the stone away when he felt a hole on it. He looked through the hole and found that there was an underground palace above it and he could vaguely see a spiral staircase leading upwards.

He punched it hard, and the hole was opened a little, revealing a bigger hole.

Yi Tianling was originally crawling over there, trying to get the stone, but when he saw Xuanyuan Tunhan taking the stone away, his face suddenly changed.

The stone was obtained by Ancestor Xuanyuan so easily.

The system snorted coldly: [See, you are polite to others, but they will not be polite to you. They will rob you without any negotiation.]

Yi Tianling suppressed his jealousy and said: [That was never mine in the first place.]

【But you discovered it first. 】

Yi Tianling didn't say anything else, but he felt that what the system said made some sense.

Patriarch Xuanyuan has such a high level of cultivation that he doesn't need this stone, but he really needs it. If he asks, will others give him the stone?

At this moment, Xuanyuan Tunhan was smashing the entrance with all his strength, so he didn't say anything.

"Senior Xuanyuan, have you found the passage?"

Xuanyuan Tunhan put the stone into his sleeve, simply said "hmm", and continued smashing.

He was sweating profusely from the effort to grab the dome and smash the hard rocks.

Ning Xianyu was originally angry with him, but now seeing how tired he was, she couldn't help but worry for him.

Xuanyuan Tunhan smashed for a while, then suddenly punched forward, and a hole the size of a person opened up at the entrance of the passage, through which the upper level could be seen.

He climbed up along the entrance, looked around, and then checked the stairs over there to make sure they led upwards.

He came back, found a rope and threw it down: "Hold on to the rope and I will pull you up."

Yi Tianling asked Ning Xianyu and Su Yuner to go up first, and he would go up last.

Xuanyuan Tunhan asked the two of them to come up together, and he could pull them.

After pulling them up, pull Yi Tianling up too.

Four people stood on it and looked around together.

This is also a hall, but unlike the one below, this is obviously a woman's residence.

There is a dressing table here, which was not flooded and is kept very dry.

Moreover, the bed here is not a bed, but a crystal coffin.

Everyone came closer to take a look and found a lifelike female corpse inside. This appearance...

"Isn't this the woman in the mural below?"

The woman lives upstairs, and the immortal Youquan lives downstairs?

Ning Xianyu asked, "Is this the woman that Youquan Immortal likes? He likes her so much that he wants to live downstairs from her even after he dies?"

Isn’t this love too implicit?

Su Yuner said: "Youquan Immortal is an ancient immortal. There are very few records about him, so naturally he didn't mention this woman. But I think Youquan Immortal must have had a one-sided love."

Yi Tianling asked: "Why do you think so?"

Ning Xianyu laughed and said, "You are so stupid. If they loved each other, they would have been buried together. You see, the Immortal Youquan secretly lived under someone else. That person definitely didn't like him. He liked her but was afraid of being discovered, so he lived under her."

Although he is an immortal with great magical powers, he is very timid and stubborn.

Xuanyuan Tunhan looked around and suddenly said, "It's not unrequited love, it's unforgivable."

The three of them looked at him together: "What do you mean, Old Ancestor?"

Xuanyuan Tunhan's voice was somewhat sad, as if he was recalling something that happened long ago.

"Back then, the rulers of this world were the Ancient Tree Clan. Later, humans, demons, and monsters appeared. The Ancient Tree Clan refused to be replaced, so they launched an attack."

"That battle lasted a long time, but the power of the human demon was too weak, and they were trapped in a space by the ancient tree, which is here."

Su Yun'er asked doubtfully, "But isn't this space used to trap the ancient tree now?"

Xuanyuan Tunhan said: "At that time, the two people with the highest cultivation among the practitioners were Youquan Immortal and his partner. Youquan Immortal was good at sealing, while his partner Qingyu Fairy was good at breaking barriers and space."

"Originally, Fairy Qingyu could have cut through the space with one sword, but she was already pregnant at the time and didn't want to kill her child, so she refused to do it."

Fairy Qingyu originally wanted to break the space after giving birth to the child, but the ancient tree would not let them go and continued to compress the space.

The pregnancy time for a practitioner is also very long. It is possible that the pregnancy may last for decades or even hundreds of years. There is simply not enough time.

At the critical moment of life and death, Immortal Youquan came up with an idea, which was to make Fairy Qingyu give birth prematurely.

The child was born weak and sickly, and Fairy Qingyu had no choice but to drag her tired body across the room and open up the space.

Fairy Qingyu didn't even have the chance to look at the child for a few more seconds before her spiritual energy was drained away by the Qiankun Sword and she died.

When she died, she left with hatred for the Immortal Youquan and attachment to her children.

After her death, the Immortal Youquan led all the immortals, demons and monsters to fight back, and finally used his space sealing power to trap the ancient tree clan here.

These two levels of the underground palace were probably built by the Immortal Youquan using his last bit of strength, probably to commemorate his wife.

After Xuanyuan Tunhan finished his story, everyone was silent for a while.

This story is really...

[This is too much!] Ning Xianyu complained loudly: [If my man asked me and my child to take risks for the sake of the people of the world, I would smash his dog head and let him die together.]

She admires those who are willing to sacrifice their own lives for justice, but she will not force others to do so, and will not risk her own children.

The Immortal Youquan may be worthy of everyone and everyone should respect him as a hero, but for his wife and children, it is really unfortunate.

The system said: [This is the pain of being a hero, watching the people around you suffer, being able to take care of the world but not the people around you. ]

Ning Xianyu said: [So a selfish and cowardly person like me cannot be a hero. ]

Yi Tianling and Su Yun'er were deeply moved by what they heard.

"The story of the Immortal Youquan and the Fairy Qingyu is so touching. We admire their broad minds."

"What about just their children?"

Xuanyuan Tunhan did not answer this question, but just said: "Go out, this is the underground palace that Youquan built for Fairy Qingyu, so there must be an exit. He will not let Fairy Qingyu be buried underground forever."
