Qingjun was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed. "Yes, I saw him too. So... he looks like that."
Luo Jianqing said, "Senior Qingjun, if your intention is to show up and help me when I reach the last two stages of the Nine Lotuses Heaven-Seizing Record, then why are you showing up now?"
"I will soon disappear," Qingjun said calmly. "This strand of my consciousness can only appear once, and it has no real power. I can only help you with my own realm and understanding of you, but I can't do much for you. But now, you don't want to practice the art of life and death anymore, so I must appear and help you."
Luo Jianqing sneered and asked, "What is life and death? Before, on this Wind God Sea, you told me that the life and death of one person isn't really life and death; the life and death of many people isn't really life and death either. So what exactly is life and death? For me, I don't care about the world; my heart is small. As long as my master is alive, my friends are alive, and everyone I know is alive, then I don't care about the life and death of others."
Qingjun turned to look at the sky: "So, if Mo Qiu were to come back to life at this moment, would you think he is truly alive?"
Luo Jianqing frowned with a complicated expression: "Qingjun, what do you mean?"
"If he wants to live, it doesn't depend on him, but on you. Similarly, do you really think that because you helped Mo Qiu escape a disaster three days ago and he didn't die saving you, he can really live?" Qingjun flicked his sleeves. "Luo Jianqing, from the day you practiced the 'Nine Lotuses Heaven-Seizing Record', you are no longer under the control of the Heavenly Dao. The path you will take will be different from anyone else's. For thousands of years, no one in the world has been able to ascend to become an immortal. Even if Mo Qiu cultivates to the Mahayana stage and has a lifespan of 5,000 years, what will happen after 5,000 years? He will still die!"
"The life and death of one person is not truly life and death. The life and death of many people is not truly life and death either."
"True life and death is about changing the Heavenly Dao's intention to destroy the cultivators! It is about allowing the Heavenly Dao to truly restart the path to immortality."
"When you reach the final chapter of 'Nine Lotuses Conquering the Heavens', you will understand. What you now think of as the scattering of the soul is not truly the scattering of the soul; what you now think of as the separation of life and death is not truly the separation of life and death."
"The fifth snatch, snatch life and death."
"This is Heaven's final quest for life in the world!"
"You must not be afraid, and you must not give up!"
"Luo Jianqing, let me ask you again, do you understand what kind of technique you want to practice?"
At this moment, a hint of intimidation suddenly appeared on Qingjun's handsome face. His eyes were stern, and he looked solemnly at the handsome monk in front of him, his gaze blazing, as if examining him.
After a long pause, Luo Jianqing raised his head and looked at him: "What I am practicing is the 'Nine Lotuses Record of Seizing the Heavens'. Venerable Jiulian did not succeed, but he did pave a way for me. From now on, I will inherit his wish and seize the heavens!"
In an instant, a tremendous momentum suddenly rose, flattening the sea water hundreds of feet around the deserted island!
Qingjun's expression gradually softened. He looked at Luo Jianqing with a gentle look, as if he was looking at someone through him. Then suddenly, he raised his finger and tapped between Luo Jianqing's eyebrows.
The moment his fingers touched his brows, a blue lotus jade lamp in the forbidden area of Yuxiao Peak on Mount Taihua suddenly lit up. A brilliant light, reaching heaven and earth, filled the forbidden area with a rich elixir fragrance. Encased within the barrier, it resembled a fairyland.
Luo Jianqing couldn't help but close his eyes, but Qingjun's face gradually turned pale.
The fifth chapter of "Nine Lotuses Seizing the Heavens" is about seizing life and death!
This is the last act of Heaven to seize all living beings in the world. From now on, life is no longer controlled by Heaven and is free and worry-free.
The immense elixir power flowed through Luo Jianqing's brows and into his body, its gentle energy gently nourishing his meridians. This elixir power had no offensive or healing properties, but it made Luo Jianqing feel as if he were in a pool of warm water. He felt his body gradually lighten, as if floating in mid-air, and he sensed the myriad laws that permeated the universe.
As night falls, darkness shrouds the Fengshen Sea.
On the small, deserted island, the blood-stained young monk's face gradually turned rosy, and his aura continued to rise. However, the Confucian scholar beside him gradually weakened, and his already ethereal body became even more illusory.
A whole night passed, and when the first rays of sunlight shone on the sea, creating ripples, Qingjun gently withdrew his hand, and Luo Jianqing immediately sat cross-legged, meditating and practicing. At this moment, Luo Jianqing was like a sword with its edge hidden, no longer as sharp, but with a greater accumulation of magnificent power.
Qingjun put his hands behind his back and walked to the beach, his body almost disappearing.
He looked at the rising sun for a long time before turning his head to look at Luo Jianqing who was meditating with his eyes closed.
"I believe he will succeed, what do you think?"
What responded to Qingjun was the sound of waves crashing against the shore.
Without any regrets, Qingjun chuckled softly, and with that, the pale green figure vanished from the world. In the forbidden area of Yuxiao Peak, the light of the Azure Lotus Jade Lamp slowly faded, yet the warm, lingering power of the elixir continued to emanate from the tiny wick, striving to ignite the nearly extinguished lamp.
One day later, Luo Jianqing opened his eyes. He looked around but could not find Qingjun.
After a moment's silence, Luo Jianqing stood up and left. Before leaving, he turned his head to take one last look at the sea. A final flash of green light passed, and there was no one left on the deserted island.
