The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 771
Chapter 771 Origin Of Xiao Bai
The next morning, Liu Ke’er woke up from her deep sleep and her mood calmed down a lot.
Li Qing said, “I plan to bring you to the Spirit Sea. There is also a place where you can comprehend the unity of heaven and man. Perhaps it will be useful to you.”
Liu Ke’er nodded, “Alright, when do we leave?”
“In order to enter the Spirit Sea, we have to go through the Sea God Palace. At that time, we will have to wait until the Alliance of Immortals opens before we have a chance. We won’t be far away from the Alliance of Immortals now. When the time comes, let’s go and participate in this grand gathering together.” Li Qing said.
‘”The East China Sea Immortal Gathering” Liu Ke’er whispered, “You are now a famous Diabolism figure in the world. Is there really no problem participating in the Gathering like this? Will they have bad intentions towards you?”
“This basically won’t happen. In the East China Sea, the boundaries between the Righteous and the Devil are very blurry. Devil Saint You Luo also participated in the Group Immortal Gathering back then. The Sea God Palace treats this matter equally.” Li Qing said.
“That’s good. There’s no danger. There’s no harm in going there.” Liu Ke’er nodded.
“The environment of the Spirit Sea is very good. It is suitable for you to comprehend the Dao. You will definitely be able to make a breakthrough.” Li Qing said.
“Li Qing, if … I mean, if I can’t break through to the Void Realm in the end, you can go find Su Jingxiang or Dongfang Bingyun and marry one of them. In this way, you won’t be so lonely in the future.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? It’s impossible for such a thing to happen. You will definitely break through to the Void Realm!” Li Qing said.
“However, I have already eaten the Good Fortune Fruit and other heavenly treasures. This has no effect. It seems that the chances of a breakthrough are slim.”
‘”There’s still a long way to go. Why are you in such a hurry? It’s just that you haven’t comprehended the unity of heaven and man. Don’t make it look like you’re separated by life and death. Do you have to live with this oppressive mood in the future?” Li Qing said angrily.
“I was just saying it casually. Are you angry?” Liu Ke’er smiled and said, “Actually, even if you really want to marry Dongfang Bingyun or Su Jingxiang, you will have to wait until I die! While I’m still alive, you still belong to me!”
“Stop! What’s immortal?” Li Qing said with a serious expression, “From now on, none of us should ask this question. Do you understand?”
“Mm, I won’t say anything else, okay?” Liu Ke’er embraced Li Qing coquettishly and buried her head in his embrace. The two of them quietly snuggled up to each other, feeling the love between them.
…
For the next few days, they would temporarily live on the Abbot Immortal Mountain. The scenery here is very good and the environment is pleasant. If you don’t consider the dangers around you, it’s really a suitable place to live in seclusion.
There was still some time before the Sea God Palace opened the Immortal Gathering, so they were not in a hurry to leave. They would first explore this mysterious and unfathomable Phantom Sea.
Xiao Bai was absorbing almost all of the Illusory Beast’s inner core, and his strength had greatly increased. Now, he was pestering Li Qing to hunt down the Illusory Beast.
“Are you really not afraid that the Illusory Beast Race will come looking for you to fight for your life?” Li Qing said.
“Didn’t you say that you weren’t afraid that the Illusory Beast would come looking for trouble with you? You destroyed the Illusory Beast King in a flash. Why are you so afraid now?” Xiao Bai rolled his eyes.
“Back then, you were talking about the scene. This is the home ground of the Illusory Beast. Do you really think that you are invincible under the heavens?”
“Then let’s secretly kill him. As long as he doesn’t get discovered by the Illusory Beast, isn’t that enough?” Xiao Bai said.
“You fool! Phantom Sea has the ability to copy images left behind by others. There are no secrets to hide from the Illusory Beasts here. Otherwise, how do you think they can change into the appearance of so many experts?”
Back then, Li Qing had seen the phantom of the Ascension Heavenly Palace in Phantom Sea. Even such a tyrannical existence would be copied. It seemed that nothing in the world could escape Phantom Sea’s record.
“Alright then, forget about killing the Illusory Beast.” Xiao Bai said dejectedly.
“It’s not that we can’t kill the Illusory Beasts. It’s just that we need to wait for a period of time to avoid provoking them.” Li Qing smiled.
“That’s more like it. I knew you wouldn’t ignore me.” Xiao Bai immediately smiled.
A few days later, Li Qing brought Liu Ke’er and Xiao Bai into Phantom Sea and arrived at the location of Penglai Immortal Mountain.
Back then, although Li Qing could see the phantom of the Immortal Mountain inside, he could not enter it no matter what. Today, his strength was much stronger, so he wanted to give it another try. Perhaps he could climb up to this dreamy place.
Due to the influence of the power of the Penglai Immortal Mountain, even the Eternal Immortal Gold had lost its effect in a large part of the nearby sea. The rainbow light shone on the mist, but there was no reaction at all.
Li Qing held the Heavenly Saber in his hand and entered the fog. Soon, he encountered an illusion. He immediately raised the Heavenly Saber and slashed down, breaking through this illusion.
“Slaying ghosts and gods can break through the illusion of the Penglai Immortal Mountain. If this continues, wouldn’t I be able to open a path?” Li Qing was delighted.
The next thing he expected was to use his Heavenly Saber to break through the illusions and open up a path to enter.
However, the further one went, the harder it would be to break through the illusion. Sometimes, Heavenly Saber couldn’t even cut through the illusion with a single saber. It would require several sabers to cut through the illusion.
He gradually felt the difficulty.
Looks like there’s a limit to this move. Li Qing’s cultivation isn’t high enough to fully unleash the full power of the Heavenly Saber.
Not only had the illusion become stronger, but the speed and quantity of its creation had also become faster and faster, becoming more and more numerous. Often, several illusions coexisted in a single location in front of him, overlapping.
When Li Qing finally broke through an illusion, another illusion immediately followed behind him. Bubbles enveloped him one after another, endlessly flowing!
Seeing that the speed at which the illusion was destroyed was not comparable to the speed at which the Penglai Immortal Mountain formed an illusion, Li Qing had to admit that with his current strength, even with the Heavenly Saber, he was still unable to forcefully ascend the Penglai Immortal Mountain.
In the end, he could only give up and return along the same path, leaving this place.
Not long after he walked out, Li Qing felt that the situation around him was different. White clouds floated over one after another. On the white clouds were two gemstone-like eyes that shone.
The Illusory Beast is here! Moreover, there were quite a few of them, surrounding them.
“I didn’t take the initiative to hunt down the Illusory Beasts, but I didn’t expect them to come to my door on their own initiative.” Li Qing thought to himself.
“There are so many of them! Are we in trouble?” Xiao Bai was so scared that his face turned pale.
“It doesn’t matter. No matter how much I come, I’m not afraid. I can just take care of them together.” Li Qing smiled.
A dozen Illusory Beast Kings walked out of these countless Illusory Beasts. One of them said to them, “Are you the bold humans that have been hunting our Illusory Beasts?”
“That’s right, you’re the only one allowed to plot against us humans. Don’t tell me we’re not allowed to kill back?” Li Qing said.
“Phantom Sea is the home of our Illusory Beasts. You guys barge into our house. How many times have we plotted against you? What’s wrong? If you have the ability, don’t come in!”
“Phantom Sea is naturally born from heaven and earth. Why do you call it your home? I killed illusionary beasts with my ability. If you have the ability, you can kill me!” Li Qing tit for tat.
“Young man, don’t be too arrogant. This is our home ground after all. Even if you have some special methods to break the illusion, you can’t defeat us!”
Amongst the many Illusory Beasts, an extremely old looking Illusory Beast walked out.
Obviously, these illusionary beasts had already studied the images left behind by Li Qing in Phantom Sea, and they knew his methods like the back of their fingers.
“Judging from your appearance, you should be an extremely ancient existence within the Illusory Beast, right? May I know what you have in mind?” Li Qing said indifferently.
‘”There’s nothing special about it. In your words, there is a phrase called blood debt and blood repayment. Our number of illusionary beasts is not very large. Now that we have killed hundreds of them, we will definitely not let you off with this hatred!”
“Since that’s the case, then what are you going to say? No matter what you say, you all want to kill us. What’s the use of saying so many great principles? Do you think that after hearing these principles, we will surrender and let you take our lives?”
“That’s right. It’s my fault. Everyone, stop talking nonsense. Half of the Illusory Beasts used illusions to trap them, while the other half used soul vortexes to tear their souls apart!” The old Illusory Beast ordered.
“Kill them!” Numerous Illusory Beasts’ eyes emitted white light, producing bubbles that completely enveloped the entire world.
At this moment, the old Illusory Beast saw Xiao Bai’s appearance, and its eyes revealed an incredulous expression. It shouted, “Wait, don’t make a move!”
The Illusory Beasts were stunned. They didn’t quite understand why the old Illusory Beast told them to stop.
The old Illusory Beast pointed at Xiao Bai and said, “Little girl, if I’m not mistaken, you should be a Cloud Demon, right?”
Xiao Bai nodded, “That’s right, your eyesight is pretty good. You actually saw through my true body!”
Li Qing whispered, “Didn’t you often boast about yourself, claiming that there was absolutely no existence that could see your true body?”
“I don’t understand either.” Xiao Bai was also confused. This illusion technique was her innate divine ability. Why could this old illusion beast see through it?
“Actually, I don’t have that kind of eyesight to see you clearly. The main reason is that we met a long time ago. I remember your aura, so I can recognize you.” The old Illusory Beast said.
“What? We’ve met before?” Xiao Bai was stunned.
“Do you have no impression of your parents at all?” The old Illusory Beast asked.
“I don’t remember. Ever since I remembered it, I’ve been living in the Spirit Sea’s Small Cloud Realm. I thought it was an elf born naturally from heaven and earth. How could I remember who my parents were?”
“I see. Looks like your parents put you into their spiritual sea.” The old Illusory Beast was thoughtful.
“What exactly are my parents’ identities? Can you tell me?” Xiao Bai asked.
‘”Forget it, this matter is of great importance. I think it’s better if you don’t know about it, so as not to cause trouble for me. It’s been so long since the incident happened. The past has disappeared with the wind. What does it have to do with knowing and not knowing?” The old Illusory Beast chuckled.
“You old man, you are so annoying. You only speak half of what you say. You are so appetizing.” Xiao Bai curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
“In short, don’t search for your own background. Otherwise, there might be a great calamity.” The old Illusory Beast said to the surrounding small Illusory Beasts, “Since this little girl is the descendant of an old friend, then let them off today. However, don’t run into Phantom Sea to commit any more evil deeds. If you continue to hunt down Illusory Beasts, don’t blame us for being impolite!”
The fantasy beasts glared at Li Qing fiercely. Of course, coupled with their cute expressions, they could not see any fierce intentions.
Not long after, these illusionary beasts had already retreated one after another. Li Qing watched the old Illusory Beast leave and thought back to what it had said.
“Looks like Xiao Bai, your identity isn’t ordinary.” Li Qing said.
“I don’t know either. I’ve never had any impression of this. I thought it was naturally born from heaven and earth. How could I have expected that there would be a parent?” Xiao Bai said.
“That old Illusory Beast doesn’t dare to tell you the truth. Then you can guess that your parents must be powerful experts! In Demon Clan, their status is definitely not that low.”
“Let’s go to the place where Xiao Bai lived back then and search for clues. Perhaps there will be some clues?” Liu Ke’er said.
“Originally, I wanted to go there. The place where I said I could comprehend the unity of heaven and man is Xiao Bai’s hometown, the Cloud Small Realm! Back then, Dongfang Bingyun only broke through to the Void Realm after eating the Good Fortune Fruit.”
“Think about it carefully. My Cloud Small Realm really doesn’t seem to be an ordinary place.” Xiao Bai tilted his head and said.
