Time seemed to have suddenly rewound a hundred years ago. A hundred years ago, a red-robed demon cultivator had given him this book with a smile, and he had then stuffed it into Xuan Lingzi's bookshelf. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had already passed. He was still on Mount Taihua, still holding this book, but he no longer had a close friend whom he could trust with his life and death, nor did he have the most important person in his life.
In this world, they are all gone, and in the end he is the only one left.
Luo Jianqing closed his eyes, tightened his fingers, and a flame suddenly ignited at his fingertips. The raging fire engulfed the book and soon burned it to ashes.
Luo Jianqing tapped his toes and flew away without a second thought. Behind him, a raging fire erupted, the scorching phoenix flames engulfing everything. The two bamboo houses were reflected in the blaze, a mottled scene, burning away hundreds of years of memories and the last bit of Luo Jianqing's attachment in this life.
An incense stick later, Luo Jianqing walked swiftly through the forbidden area of Yuxiao Peak. He imitated Xuan Lingzi's past, nimbly avoiding all the formations and entering the forbidden area.
When we arrived at the cave, everything was the same as before, except that there were two people there back then, but now there is only one.
Luo Jianqing fixed his gaze on the lamp in the center of the cave. The nine-petaled blue lotus lamp still had only two sparks, slowly flickering. The entire lamp was utterly dim, surrounded by a series of barriers. Beyond that, a long, circular river swam, upon which nine blue lotuses floated.
The last time he came here, Luo Jianqing remembered that all nine green lotuses had withered. But now, these green lotuses have recovered a little bit, no longer so decadent, as if they have begun to have a little new life.
Luo Jianqing lowered his eyes, fixating on the wick at the center of the Green Lotus Lantern. This wick was entirely green, and a constant flow of power flowed from it to the Green Lotus Lantern and the nine green lotuses. Almost single-handedly, it was sustaining the life of the lantern and the nine flowers.
With his lips slightly pursed, Luo Jianqing stretched out his hand to pass through the barrier, but was bounced back by the barrier.
Just as Hao Xingzi didn't have time to tell Zuo Yunmo how to enter Yuxiao Peak, Xuan Lingzi... left in a hurry and didn't teach Luo Jianqing all the solutions to Yuxiao Peak's restrictions. Thus, the several barriers within the forbidden area became Luo Jianqing's first obstacle.
Luo Jianqing narrowed his eyes, and a blue lotus spirit leaped out from his dantian, hovering in mid-air. As Luo Jianqing had expected, after his spirit left his body, the nine blue lotuses surrounding the Blue Lotus Destiny Lamp began to call out, echoing his spirit from afar.
Luo Jianqing pinched his hands and performed the "Nine Lotuses Record of Heaven", using this mysterious power to guide the nine green lotuses and directly break the first level of the formation of the nine lotuses.
Further on, there is the second level.
These formations seemed to be specially prepared for Luo Jianqing, or rather, for the Green Lotus Primordial Spirit. With the help of this Primordial Spirit, Luo Jianqing passed through all the formations very smoothly and came to the Green Lotus Primordial Lamp.
Looking down at the cracked lamp and then gazing at the turquoise wick, Luo Jianqing whispered, "Senior, please forgive my rudeness."
I don't know whether this sentence was said to Jiulian or Qingjun.
The next moment, Luo Jianqing raised his hand and grasped the handle of his natal lamp, ready to take the lamp!
Rumble!
A deep blue light emanated from the cyan wick, like a sharp sword, aiming straight at Luo Jianqing's life. However, Luo Jianqing was no longer at the Out-of-Body Stage. He easily dodged the attack, but the opponent continued to attack relentlessly.
Rays of green light shot from the wick towards Luo Jianqing, but he dodged them one by one.
When the last ray of bright green light gathered on the wick, as if about to burst out with earth-shattering power, Luo Jianqing suddenly gripped the lamp tightly and shouted, "Senior Qingjun, even if you have already turned into a wick and are no longer conscious, do you still have to protect him like this? Thirty thousand years ago, the Demon Lord Cangruo died, and all sixty-four Demon Lords died; nearly a hundred human beings in the Divine Transformation Stage died, even Mo Qing died! Of so many great and powerful lords, in the end, only Jiulian was left with his natal lamp burning."
A firm voice came out of Luo Jianqing's mouth. He shouted loudly and lifted the lamp with force.
"Today I am going to take the lamp. I don't trust Jiulian, I only trust myself! No matter how evil Jiulian is, he can't seize the heavens. The descendants of Yuxiao Peak have used their last lives to maintain this lamp for generations. This lamp no longer belongs to Jiulian, but to Yuxiao Peak! Jiulian has let down the sixty-four demon lords and the powerful human cultivators, and I, Luo Jianqing, must do right by them!"
"If Jiulian is really that powerful, why don't you let him stop me himself? Instead, why do you have to stop me?"
The light on the wick did not diminish in the slightest. It seemed as if it could not hear Luo Jianqing's words. It just followed its heart and used all its strength to stop Luo Jianqing from taking the lamp.
Luo Jianqing's eyes were red as he mobilized all his spiritual energy. The lamp was like a huge mountain, weighing a million pounds. Luo Jianqing had already used 70% of his strength, but he still only lifted the lamp three inches from the stone base.
"rise!"
Buzz!
The green light finally gathered and attacked Luo Jianqing with a "boom".
This time, Luo Jianqing closed his eyes, and a green sword light flashed between his eyebrows, blocking the attack lightly and simply.
After this attack, the cyan wick grew even darker, as if it had lost its vitality. Gazing at this scene, Luo Jianqing lowered his eyes and sighed, "Senior Qingjun, why are you doing this..."
