Chapter 114: Past of the Cloud Palace (1)
Looking at Lin Qingyue again, she was obviously also a mortal, but she walked in this strange place as if she were walking on the streets of the capital.
Even ghosts and the like stayed away from her.
Dongfang Qi knew from the beginning that Lin Qingyue was extraordinary, but he was even more surprised at this moment.
"Deputy Envoy Lin, how come you can come and go freely here without being affected at all?"
Little did they know that Lin Qingyue had cultivated the Way of Demons in her previous life. The demonic spirits that ordinary people shunned seemed to thrive in her presence. The wind in her ears turned to whispers, and the evil spirits that circled her with their heads bowed, yet none of them could harm her.
Even if she wanted, she could absorb all the demons and evil spirits into her body and convert them into spiritual energy to improve her cultivation.
However, the path of demonic cultivation is a double-edged sword. Although it can quickly improve one's cultivation, it will devour one's human nature, amplify evil thoughts, and eventually turn one into a cold-blooded and ruthless killing tool.
Back then, Immortal Lord Qingyue was tormented by his demonic nature, struggling between sanity and madness. But in the end, he was still haunted by his inner demons.
Later, when the rebels besieged the city, her hard-won humanity finally reached the brink of collapse. Fortunately, she gave up resistance, dispersed the people in the Cloud Palace, and set herself on fire.
Living her life over again, she naturally didn't want to go down the same path that was destined to destruction.
However, she would not casually reveal these things to Dongfang Qi. She only said jokingly, "Maybe it's my physique that's good. Xiaohua, you should remember to exercise regularly in the future. Men can't be too weak."
Dongfang Qi: "..."
At this moment, Dongfang Qi's expression suddenly changed and he stopped.
Lin Qingyue turned her head and saw that he had his eyes closed and his brows were slightly furrowed.
Lin Qingyue guessed that he must have sensed something, so she stopped talking so as not to distract him.
A moment later, Dongfang Qi suddenly opened his eyes, pointed in a direction, and said, "There! I feel like something is calling me there."
Lin Qingyue said, "Let's go and take a look. Perhaps your lost soul is in that direction."
The two walked in that direction for a while, but as they walked, the previous feeling was lost.
Dongfang Qi was a little puzzled: "I could sense it before, why can't I sense anything now?"
Lin Qingyue said, "Don't worry, try looking again."
But after walking for a long time, I still couldn't find anything and couldn't sense anything.
The weather in the east was getting visibly worse, and the hand holding the umbrella was shaking.
Although the Netherworld Umbrella can help him block most of the evil energy, when the evil energy is too strong, a small amount of it will still leak in.
Dongfangqi's mortal body couldn't endure this for too long, so the search had to be accelerated.
Lin Qingyue pondered and said, "How about this, let's search separately and try to shorten the search time."
As she spoke, she quickly drew two talismans using blood as a guide, handed one to Dongfang Qi and kept the other for herself.
"This is a twin talisman. It can sense the other person's presence and predict their safety. If they encounter a situation, it can also guide each other to find each other. You and I will each hold one. If we find anything, we will contact each other in time."
Dongfang Qi didn't hesitate: "Okay, I'll do as you say!"
Lin Qingyue warned Dongfang Qi: "Remember, do not leave the protection range of the Netherworld Umbrella."
Dongfang Qidian nodded and said, "Go ahead. Be careful in everything you do, and safety comes first. If you encounter a situation you can't handle, retreat immediately and don't force it."
Lin Qingyue smiled: "Don't worry, I never do anything forced."
Then the two of them each held a talisman and went their separate ways.
Without Dongfang Qi, Lin Qingyue could move faster.
In just half an hour, they had reached the center of the entire Red Shadow Land.
After stepping in here, the whole world seemed to have changed suddenly. It was no longer filled with gloomy air. What I saw before my eyes was green grass and flowers everywhere. I could even faintly hear the chirping of birds and insects.
Lin Qingyue frowned slightly. "How strange! I never thought there would be an oasis hidden here."
Walk further and you will see a clear lake.
The calm lake surface reflects the blue sky and white clouds, as well as Lin Qingyue's fairy-like appearance.
She lowered her eyes to look at her reflection in the water, and the reflection in the water seemed to be looking at her as well.
They were clearly two identical faces, but the woman in the reflection was brighter, with a carefree smile on her lips. Her black dress had somehow transformed into a hibiscus-colored gauze dress.
How could it be a hibiscus-colored dress?
Oh, I remember now.
Before she was twelve, she loved all bright pink colors.
At that time, she was still the young master of Qingcang Sect, and was the apple of everyone's eye.
"Hehe, have you forgotten me? Come back, you can see Master when you go back to the past!"
The girl in the pink skirt in the water suddenly reached out and grabbed her ankle.
Before she could react, a fleeting flash of light and shadow gathered and dispersed before her eyes, and in a moment, it pieced together again to create another completely different world.
What appeared before my eyes were rolling fairy mountains, shrouded in floating clouds. When the clouds dispersed, towering buildings emerged on the mountaintops.
Lin Qingyue stood high up in the attic, taking in the entire scene. She wore a hibiscus gauze dress and a girl's hair ornament, a completely different temperament from her later years.
A maid came to report: "Master, the Pegasus is ready and we can set off."
"Depart? Where to?" Lin Qingyue's thoughts were a little confused.
"Go to the Cloud Palace!" the maidservant said, "Young Master, don't even think about escaping. The Sect Master said that if you dare to escape, he will send all your servants to the human world to suffer! Woohoo, Young Master, please have mercy on us servants and stop making trouble."
When I heard the word "Cloud Palace", all my memories came back to me and everything in the past came to mind.
"So, am I back?"
Returning to the world of immortal cultivation, the world of immortal cultivation when she was twelve years old?
The world of cultivating immortals is divided into two worlds, the upper immortal world and the lower human world.
In the human world, mortals are like ants, suffering all kinds of hardships.
In the upper fairyland, eight major immortal cultivation families stand side by side, each ruling a piece of heaven and earth.
These sects and families, which have existed for tens of thousands of years, possess many secret manuals on cultivating immortals and elixirs.
In order to benefit all living beings in the world, a small number of outer disciple spots will be opened to the human world every year.
In the lower human world, even kings, princes, generals and ministers would rather give up all their honor and status and strive to seize the opportunity to obtain a place to seek immortality.
And direct descendants like Young Master Qingyue are the chosen ones of heaven in this world.
She was born with the ability to practice cultivation, and countless natural treasures nourish her body and prolong her life.
