Time flies, a hundred years pass in a flash——
During this long period of time, Gu Qingze did not waste his time. He practiced diligently and traveled around to increase his knowledge and cultivation.
Occasionally, he would take time to return home or visit his few old friends, such as going to the Wanjian Sect to visit Song Jinnian and Su Han.
After all, there are only a few friends left who can keep in touch, and the friendship between them becomes even more precious.
During these years, Gu Qingze not only mastered the application of various skills within the system, but was also pleasantly surprised to discover the growth potential of the system.
It is like an AI with learning ability, which can give corresponding feedback and responses through continuous training and interaction.
From initially being just an auxiliary existence surrounding him to now being able to have basic and fluent conversations with him, the system's progress and changes are remarkable.
As usual, Gu Qingze was about to try to comprehend the final move of the sword technique, when suddenly, the small transparent ball that had been floating beside him began to tremble abnormally.
He checked immediately and found that it was a message from Feng Ying:
Please be prepared.
Despite the brief message, Gu Qingze immediately understood its deeper meaning. Needless to say, this must be related to Ling Xiao.
He quickly replied: [Understood.]
Afterwards, Feng Ying’s dialog box displayed “input in progress” for a long time, but Gu Qingze had no idea of the specific content.
He waited patiently, and after a moment, Feng Ying's message finally arrived:
[Do I need to emphasize again how you should act and what you should avoid? ]
Gu Qingze pondered for a moment and replied firmly, "Thank you, but that's not necessary. After all these years, I've already figured it out. Besides, I would never joke about Ling Xiao's affairs. You can rest assured about that."
Feng Ying replied: [That would be best.]
He then added, "I've already included the specific plot details in the previously sent file, so I'm sure you don't need me to repeat them. It's expected that he'll enter that key plot point tomorrow, so you can start your journey today."
Gu Qingze replied concisely and forcefully with one word: [Okay.]
After Gu Qingze replied to the message, he immediately used the sword-controlling technique, flew lightly into the air, and left Qingyun Sect.
According to the plot setting, it is on a cliff of Qiying Peak, so he needs to reach a steep cliff of Qiying Peak before tomorrow.
During the flight, Gu Qingze's thoughts couldn't help but drift towards the subsequent development of the plot.
He felt an indescribable distress when he thought that Ling Xiao might be too soft-hearted to attack him, or even unwilling to push him off the cliff according to the script.
That part of the story was under the close scrutiny of the Heavenly Dao. If there were any flaws or omissions, he was worried that Ling Xiao would be harmed...
When Gu Qingze arrived at Qiying Peak, it was already late at night and everything was silent.
Looking up, I saw the night sky was filled with shining stars, like tiny diamonds inlaid on the black curtain, and the bright moon was at its fullest, bright and flawless, illuminating the entire valley.
"The moon is full on the 16th..." Gu Qingze looked at the full moon, feeling inexplicably dazed.
He suddenly realized that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Since becoming an immortal cultivator, he has become extremely insensitive to the passage of time. After all, for them, decades or even hundreds of years are just a blink of an eye, so their concept of time is naturally blurred.
Even his birthday was only celebrated with Ling Xiao in the first few years.
Later, as their cultivation improved and their affairs became busier, those worldly festivals and anniversaries gradually faded from their lives.
If he calculated carefully, in these long years of nearly a thousand years, the time he and Ling Xiao had truly been together was less than ten years... This thought made Gu Qingze feel sad.
Gu Qingze was immersed in the beauty of the starry sky when suddenly, he heard a subtle movement behind him.
He resisted the urge to turn back immediately, remained highly alert, and slowly released his mental power to explore the surroundings.
When his mental power captured the familiar figure - Chu Lingxiao, the tension in his heart gradually dissipated, and he turned around.
At this moment, he felt a sense of relief in his heart. Fortunately, he arrived early. Otherwise, if he had arrived at the time specified by Feng Ying, he would probably have passed by Ling Xiao.
However, this relief was quickly replaced by a hint of panic. He was worried about whether Ling Xiao would be able to be cruel enough to attack him in the face of the next plot.
Just as Gu Qingze recalled Tiandao's observations on the key plot and was about to speak according to the lines in the script, Chu Lingxiao suddenly pierced his body with a sword.
At that moment, all of Gu Qingze's thoughts and perceptions were overwhelmed by an unprecedented pain.
The moment the tip of the sword pierced the skin, it brought a chill more biting than ice, followed by a burning pain like a volcanic eruption. The two intertwined to form an indescribable torture.
He stared wide-eyed, filled with confusion and disbelief. Chu Lingxiao before him became blurry, everything distorted by the excruciating pain.
The sword continued to advance into his body, and every inch it penetrated was like an invisible saw, slowly and steadily cutting into his life. He could clearly feel the pain of his muscles being torn and his bones being squeezed.
The pain seemed to tear his soul from his body, making him unable to bear it. The pain was like a surging tide, crashing into his consciousness wave after wave, making it almost impossible for him to stay awake.
