The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 653
Chapter 653 Resplendent Ending (4)
“What are you trying to do? Don’t think about it.” When Wen Xiao heard the word elopement, his expression immediately tightened.
“Of course I will arrange for you to elope.” Li Qing said.
“How can this work? There’s no chance at all, alright? When King Zhendong catches us back, things will be even worse.”
“If something happens, I’ll take care of it. Have you forgotten my current situation? I’ve already been watched by countless powerful forces. Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water. No matter how many East Town Kings there are, it doesn’t matter.” Li Qing smiled.
“But Lingzhu and I have no way of escaping. We’ve been captured before, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to escape now.” Wen Xiao shook his head.
“What do you think will happen if Princess Lingzhu breaks through to the Void Realm?”
“Well … the speed of the Soaring Immortal Physique is unparalleled in the world. After breaking through to the Void Realm, there are very few people in the world who can compare to her.”
“The reason you didn’t run away before was because Princess Lingzhu’s speed was far from complete. If she reached the Void Realm, wouldn’t she be able to escape easily?”
“It seems to make sense.” Wen Xiao nodded first.
“Prince Zhendong doesn’t restrict Princess Lingzhu’s movements. It’s too easy to find a chance to escape. It only takes half a day, no, even a few hours. No one will be able to catch up to Great Zhou.”
“But the question is, how can Lingzhu break through to the Void Realm?”
“Have you forgotten? The door to the Void World is about to open. Do you think Princess Lingzhu has a chance to enter?” Li Qing asked.
“There must be an opportunity. How can Princess Lingzhu, as the daughter of King Zhendong, miss it?”
This time, the Void World was opened. All the top 100 martial artists in the Martial Arts Convention could enter. Such a large number of people proved that the quota was very sufficient.
For example, some of the noble disciples and members of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty would definitely follow along.
Fat water didn’t flow out of outsiders’ fields, and even outsiders could enter. There was no reason for Great Zhou’s disciples to be rejected.
Entering the Void World and comprehending the Laws of Manifestation could increase the probability of the unity of heaven and man. Normal people wouldn’t refuse, right?
“When that time comes, Princess Lingzhu will enter the Void World, comprehend the unity of heaven and man, break through the Void Realm, and fly away with you. Isn’t that logical?” Li Qing said.
“But this is only the best case. The chance of comprehending the unity of heaven and man is too low. Who can guarantee that Lingzhu will be able to break through to the Void Realm?”
“Of course, I can’t guarantee it. This is just a method. If I don’t try, how can I know if it’s a success or a failure?”
“Even if Lingzhu breaks through to the Void Realm, he still can’t remember who I am. Furthermore, he has always believed that we are liars. How can he take me away?” Wen Xiao said first.
“Do you really think Princess Lingzhu is that stupid?”
“What do you mean?”
Li Qing said, “That old fellow Zhendong Wang must have used some words to deceive Princess Lingzhu for the time being, but it is definitely full of holes. As long as you give him some time to think about it carefully, he will soon be able to detect the loopholes in it.”
“It’s even possible that Princess Lingzhu doesn’t believe that old fellow’s words. The reason why he acted like this was just to placate her father.”
“The question is why did she do this?” Wen Xiao asked first.
Li Qing said, “On the one hand, it’s her father, on the other hand, it’s her lover. In a dilemma, she has to make a choice. Obviously, the amnesia Princess Lingzhu doesn’t have too much affection for you, so she chose to stand by her father’s side without hesitation.”
“So what if she knows that she ran away with you before? Her memories are sealed and her past is like the wind. No matter how deep her feelings are, they can only be forgotten.”
“You can also recall that Princess Lingzhu’s expression just now was a little strange, right? Especially after you took out that love handkerchief, she even covered her face and cried, revealing her true thoughts inadvertently.”
“This is proof that she actually knows the truth. She just suppresses her heart and compromises for her father.”
“Since she chose her father, it doesn’t seem good for us to force her like this, right?” Wen Xiao hesitated.
Li Qing couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh, “The two of you are truly amazing. Decades ago, you ran away for love regardless of everything. But now, it is exactly the opposite. You desperately suppress your heart for love. You are indeed a natural couple, and the things you do are so similar.”
Wen Xiao smiled bitterly and said, “Don’t tease me. Right now, I have been struggling between fighting and giving up. I don’t know what to do.”
“I was wondering, back then, when you eloped with Princess Lingzhu, it should have been Princess Lingzhu who suggested it, right? With your temperament, you really can be anxious to death.”
“Uh… We’ll talk about this later. Let’s talk about what we should do next.” Wen Xiao was a little embarrassed.
Li Qing said, “Princess Lingzhu will most likely enter the Void World and comprehend the good fortune of heaven and earth. At that time, I will also bring you in. You two have a good chat and unlock each other’s hearts.”
“How do I get a chance to enter?”
“Have you forgotten? Emperor Zhou Majesty still owes me a favor! At that time, I will ask Emperor Zhou to open the convenient door and let you in as well. You and Princess Lingzhu have a chance to be alone, so you must take advantage of it. At that time, don’t be as shy as before. You won’t be able to say anything.”
Wen Xiao took a deep breath, made up his mind, and nodded, “I understand! No matter what, I must seize this opportunity!”
After the discussion was settled, the two of them returned to the Heavenly Thunder Palace. A few days later, Li Qing found an opportunity to meet Emperor Zhou Majesty again and made his request.
“What? You want to bring someone into the Void World? How many?” The Zhou Emperor’s true body did not come out. Instead, it was merely an avatar that met and sat on the throne of a supreme being.
“How many?” Li Qing was stunned and thought to himself, “Could it be that I can bring many more?”
“Reporting to Your Majesty, I want to bring three people in.” Li Qingshi spoke loudly and said this tentatively.
“Accurate!”
Li Qing was overjoyed, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!”
“Are you really not willing to be my disciple? As long as you become my disciple, everything will be settled. There is no need to be afraid that other powers will be waiting for you.” Emperor Zhou asked.
“Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness. However, I have some difficulties. There’s really nothing I can do.” Li Qing said gratefully.
“Since that’s the case, I won’t force you. You can go down.”
“I’ll take my leave!” Li Qing carefully walked out of the hall and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Rejecting Emperor Zhou’s kindness twice in a row made one’s heart tremble.
“This time, I was really surprised. I thought it would be good to bring one person in, but I didn’t expect that I would agree to three of them at once! Emperor Zhou’s favor is indeed valuable!”
Li Qing was in a very good mood. He walked on the busy street, but in the end, he met Jiang Tianlin again. Next to him was Princess Lingzhu.
The two of them were shopping, as if they were cultivating feelings. After all, they were about to get married. This was something they had to do.
“Oh, isn’t this the number one Li Qing in the world? What, you also have the leisure to go shopping here?” Jiang Tianlin said with a fake smile.
“Your arm is recovering quite quickly.” Li Qing looked at him strangely.
“You!” Jiang Tianlin was furious. This was clearly ridiculing the fact that his arm had been broken. However, when he thought of the beauty accompanying him, it was not appropriate for him to lose his composure.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tianlin said proudly, “Let me formally introduce you. This is my fianc é e, Princess Lingzhu. She has nothing to do with Wen Xiao anymore. Don’t even think about hitting on her in the future, okay?”
Li Qing ignored Jiang Tianlin and looked at Princess Lingzhu, asking, “You shouldn’t be in such a hurry to get married, right?”
“In a few years.” Princess Lingzhu’s expression was calm.
“That’s good. Do you plan to enter the Void World this time?”
Princess Lingzhu nodded, “Of course. How could such a good opportunity be missed?”
“As expected.” Li Qing smiled and walked away without even looking at Jiang Tianlin.
“What kind of person is this? What kind of arrogance is this? Do you really think you’re a big shot?” Jiang Tianlin felt very unhappy and was ignored.
“Let’s go. I don’t have the mood to go shopping anymore. I’m going back now.” After saying that, Princess Lingzhu left, leaving Jiang Tianlin standing there alone.
“How dare you ignore me one after another! I will definitely break through to the Void Realm this time so that everyone who looks down on me will regret it!” Jiang Tianlin’s expression was ferocious.
A month later, the door to the Void World finally opened, and more than 200 people entered.
The entrance to the Middle Thousand Worlds controlled by the Great Zhou Dynasty was right above the top of Mount Ying Tian. When the gate opened, it would form a huge void crack.
Emperor Zhou personally wrapped his supreme power around these 200 people and sent them into the void rift.
This door was expected to last for about a year or two. At that time, he had to come out. Otherwise, he would stay there until the next cycle when the door opened.
When Li Qing stepped onto the solid ground again, he discovered that he was standing in a desolate desert. Behind him was the Void Gate that he had entered.
More than 200 people walked out of the Void Gate one after another. After adapting to the uncomfortable feeling of traveling through the void, they quickly began to examine this novel world.
A boundless desert, overhead was a blazing sun, a normal desert scenery.
But what was strange was that the sun above him only occupied a small space in the sky, and the rest of the place was completely covered by dense dark clouds.
The sun and dark clouds coexist!
Dark clouds covered the sky, and thunder and lightning continuously rang out, as if the world was doomed.
Accompanied by lightning and thunder, everyone could see that pitch-black void cracks appeared in the sky from time to time, like the scythe of a god of death. It looked exceptionally frightening.
Fortunately, these spatial rifts only appeared in the sky, and there was no such risk on the ground.
However, the ground was not safe either. A long dragon rose from afar and swept towards them. It was actually an incomparably terrifying desert storm!
This desert storm was extremely powerful, sweeping up sand and dust, as if it wanted to occupy half of the world and destroy everything!
With the strength of a Xiantian expert, he was simply unable to shake it, so he could only retreat.
“The world hasn’t completely taken shape yet. Natural disasters are extremely terrifying! Everyone, be careful, don’t die here!” Someone reminded.
“Let’s go. This is a desert. It’s not suitable for us to comprehend the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Let’s go somewhere else.” Everyone left.
After all, he was a Xiantian expert. Although he couldn’t face that desert storm head-on, escaping could be considered a relatively simple matter.
When Princess Lingzhu saw Wen Xiao’s figure, he couldn’t help but be stunned. He quickly turned his head away and avoided his gaze.
When Jiang Tianlin saw this scene, he couldn’t help but be furious, “You guys are really haunted. You can even encounter it in the Void World!”
Li Qing led Wen Xiao to the side of Princess Lingzhu and said, “Let’s go together. On the way, we can have a good chat and solve the misunderstanding.”
Wen Xiao’s eyes were burning. He stared at Princess Lingzhu and no longer tried to escape. He said seriously, “Lingzhu, let’s talk.”
Princess Lingzhu shook her head, “I don’t want to talk to you. You guys can leave.”
Jiang Tianlin immediately stood in front of him and sneered, “Sister Lingzhu is already my fianc é e. Do you still want to eat the swan meat with a toad? She doesn’t want to talk to you, please leave immediately!”
“There’s no need to be in a hurry. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. The Desert Storm is about to sweep over here. Let’s leave first.” Li Qing smiled and left with Wen Xiao.
“Let’s go, Little Sister Lingzhu, let’s leave this place together.” Jiang Tianlin hurriedly said.
“No need, I’ll go alone. I don’t need your company.” Princess Lingzhu rushed into the sky and disappeared.
Jiang Tianlin’s eyes were dull. Although he had a flying treasure, how could he catch up with the Soaring Immortal Physique?
“What nonsense, Li Qing! It’s all your fault! I swear that I won’t stand apart from you!” His expression was ferocious.
After leaving the Void Gate, Li Qing chose a direction to leave. Ordinary Xiantian experts might have to spend some effort to leave this desert, but Li Qing didn’t need to worry because he had the means to fly. He directly carried a few people and quickly left this place.
Although there were many void cracks and thunderstorms in the sky, as long as they didn’t fly too high, there wouldn’t be any danger.
After flying out of the desert, one could see that there were more plants on the ground, but they were still very sparse.
Along the way, they did not see many creatures. Not even a few trees could be seen, let alone animals or insects.
“What a desolate and desolate world.” Wen Xiao sighed first.
“In the newly born Middle Thousand Worlds, the rules are still not perfect. It will take time for them to slowly evolve. It would be good to be able to see plants.” Li Qing said.
Along the way, they encountered many disasters, such as monstrous floods, volcanic eruptions, violent storms, and so on. It was not an easy task to survive in such a place for a long time.
Every place had its own characteristics, and the laws of water would manifest itself in the floods that overflowed the heavens. In the place where the volcano erupted, the Laws of Fire appeared.
However, Li Qing came here to comprehend the unity of heaven and man. Looking at one-sided rules might not be very useful. It was best to look for some complicated terrain to observe.
After traveling around the Middle Thousand Worlds for several days, they finally encountered a miraculous place.
Unlike the desolate and desolate places, this place was actually filled with plants. Strange flowers and plants bloomed, filled with boundless vitality, and even small animals could be seen.
Moreover, there was no such terrible calamity here. It was actually a peaceful scene.
“What’s going on? Why is there such a huge difference here?” Everyone was puzzled.
“Let’s go inside and take a look.”
They flew inside for an hour, and soon they saw a huge tree that was ten thousand feet tall in the distance. It was like a pillar that pierced through the heavens, towering above the clouds, with luxuriant branches and leaves, covering a radius of a thousand kilometers.
“What a big tree!” Everyone was shocked.
“What exactly is going on? How could there be such a huge tree in this world? Heavens, this is simply inconceivable!” Liu Ke’er exclaimed.
“Could it be that such a beautiful and peaceful place is the credit of this giant tree?” Wen Xiao said first.
“That should be the case. If what I expected is correct, this giant tree should be the legendary World Tree, right?” Li Qing said.
“What? World Tree!” Everyone cried out.
“Other than the legendary World Tree, what other creature could reach this level?”
“The World Tree actually existed? I thought it was just a legend!” Wen Xiaoxian said in disbelief.
“Indeed, there were rumors that the first creature in our Great Thousand Worlds was a World Tree. However, it was too ancient and had already died from tribulation back in the Ancient Era. In comparison, the one in front of us can only be said to be in the state of infancy.”
Wen Xiao said first, “Rumor has it that after the World Tree died, it turned into seven seeds, the current Seven Divine Tree. Is this legend true? Then is that evergreen pine on Qingmu Peak …”
“I’m not sure about that. After all, the Eternal Azure Pine may have descendants. I wonder if it’s the main body of that divine tree.”
“Do you think that if a major power transplanted this World Tree, would it be able to survive?”
“It shouldn’t be possible. The main function of the World Tree is to stabilize the world and perfect the rules. Once the world is completely perfected, its mission will end. The Dao of Body Death will disappear. This is the principle of heaven and earth and cannot be changed. If a major power really does this, I’m afraid it will attract the punishment of the heavens.”
“Moreover, Dao Realm experts are probably unable to remove this World Tree, because this World Tree is the foundation of the Middle Thousand Worlds. To forcefully remove it would be tantamount to fighting against the Middle Thousand Worlds. Do you think humans can defeat the Middle Thousand Worlds?”
“Impossible. No matter how powerful humans are, they are not a match for the good fortune of heaven and earth.”
“Alright, don’t think too much. Let’s go take a look first and see this legendary creature.” Li Qing rode the Yin Yang Cloud beneath his feet and flew towards the World Tree.
