Above, an unparalleled figure was frantically devouring the Dao principles.
Her entire body shone with light, like a goddess from the heavens, and her aura was incredibly powerful.
Ye Qiu felt an unparalleled sense of oppression, making him feel suffocated.
"It's so powerful after the fusion?"
Ye Qiu was filled with excitement and emotion.
As time continued, half an hour passed, and she finally slowly descended, landing on the altar.
Ye Qiu excitedly tried to step forward, but she immediately stopped him.
"You must not come near."
Her voice was cold and clear, as if it carried the weight of millennia of ice, keeping strangers at bay.
"What's your name now?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Zhao Churan".
She slowly uttered three words.
Zhao Churan...
Ye Qiu's heart skipped a beat.
He still thought her real name was Tantai Jingxin.
Unexpectedly, it was Zhao Churan.
This gave Ye Qiu a strong sense of familiarity, prompting him to try moving forward again.
But Zhao Churan waved her hand, and an irresistible force pushed Ye Qiu back more than ten meters.
"What do you mean?" Ye Qiu's face darkened, and he realized that she was not joking with him: "Have you forgotten all your memories?"
"No, not at all." Zhao Churan said calmly, "I was just using you to help me merge and return to oneness. All reincarnations form this tacit understanding after awakening some memories."
So, you can only blame your own stupidity. In this world, there is no need for emotions; only strength can endure.
As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped down from the altar, her whole body shrouded in a hazy light, obscuring her true appearance.
Ye Qiu was so shocked by her words that his face turned slightly pale: "Don't joke around. I know you're not that kind of person. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me, and we can solve them together, okay? I believe we have feelings for each other."
"Wake up!" Zhao Churan snapped. "What feelings? It's childish and ridiculous."
However, given your past help, you may remain in Kunlun Palace for the time being. I can arrange a position for you and teach you some ancient techniques as a form of repayment. Don't think about anything else.
"Are you really going to be this ruthless? Leaving no room for maneuver?"
“Yes.” Zhao Churan said seriously, “Don’t talk to me about the past. I fell into reincarnation because of you. Now that I’ve returned to the cycle of reincarnation, I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes. Besides, you are not good enough for me. So, please leave.”
"Okay, you are really good."
Ye Qiu turned around.
In an instant, Ye Qiu's eyes reddened, and a feeling of heartache swept over him.
He truly hadn't expected that she would turn out like this after the fusion.
Zhao Churan stared at Ye Qiu's back: "Why don't you consider staying in Kunlun Palace? Now that spiritual energy has fully recovered, many ancient holy lands and demonic sects have appeared one after another. Your strength is not low, but you may not be able to stay safe. I can protect you."
"unnecessary."
Ye Qiu strode away.
After leaving the altar, Ye Qiu saw the girl he had saved at the entrance.
The girl changed into a clean dress; she was very pretty with big, bright eyes.
"Brother, you...you shouldn't be too sad."
The girl tried to comfort Ye Qiu.
"You heard everything?"
"Um, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to listen." The girl became nervous.
"It's okay, let them hear it. It's not like it's anything shameful."
"By the way, you have considerable talent; you can choose to stay in Kunlun Palace to cultivate," Ye Qiu said.
"I want to go with you, I don't want to stay here," the girl said hastily.
Why?
"Because you saved me, I want to follow you," the girl whispered.
"Okay, what's your name?"
"Green sandalwood".
"Qingtan..." Ye Qiu murmured to himself.
The name immediately reminded him of the bluebird and its gentle nature.
But now, the bluebird is gone, merged with the indifferent version of her.
Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness!
The person I trusted most ended up like this.
Ye Qiu was extremely unwilling to accept this outcome.
All efforts were in vain, like trying to draw water with a bamboo basket.
Unwilling to accept it, but with no other choice, Ye Qiu could only accept it.
Soon, Ye Qiu left with Qing Tan.
Inside Kunlun Palace, Zhao Churan stared at Ye Qiu's departing figure for a long time.
...
Ye Qiu led Qing Tan onto the main street.
The streets are clean, tidy, and not chaotic.
However, many tall buildings have vanished into thin air, leaving the city much emptier.
Many people were in the streets; some were celebrating, while others were weeping.
The revelers discovered that they had suddenly acquired magical abilities.
Those who weep are grieving for a loved one who has suddenly died.
All of this is just a microcosm of the many races in the world.
Such things are happening all over the world.
Ye Qiu sighed. With the arrival of a prosperous era, everything is about to change.
In the future, many families, sects, and cultivation academies will inevitably emerge.
The emergence of these forces will not be as low-key as the previous families and sects.
In prosperous times, all beings cultivate themselves, and the resulting struggles are bound to be anything but gentle.
Along with this comes the fact that once the laws change, people's lifestyles will be greatly impacted.
Those who cannot adapt are destined to be abandoned by prosperous times.
"Let's go to the capital, and see more of the world along the way to learn how it has changed."
Ye Qiu said.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Qingtan nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
