Chapter 31: Heaven and Earth Toppled. The Celestial Race Descended?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The tone on the note was resolute.

It was as if he could see the corners of Ji Qinghuan’s lips curling up, a determined smile burning like fire.

An image appeared in Lin Qiye’s mind.

A year ago, Ji Qinghuan was hiding in the narrow space behind the vase, holding her breath, quietly waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Blood Tornado.

Under that kind of situation, she was almost certain to die.

However, to avenge her good friend, she was not afraid of dying.

“With her strong character, it’s basically useless to persuade her. She will only give up after I break through to the Golden Core Realm…”

“In that case, after the spiritual energy recovers, I will go to the other world and find a treasure that can restore vitality.”

Lin Qiye looked out of the window.

The world where the Celestial Race lived must have medicinal herbs that could restore vitality!

As long as he passed the initial stage of the spiritual energy restoration, Lin Qiye was confident that he could crush everything.

At that time, there would be no shortage of precious treasures.

If one treasure could not completely heal Ji Qinghuan, he would find ten, or even twenty!

Lin Qiye’s eyes shone.

At this moment, in the opposite direction from where Lin Qiye was looking.

Ji Qinghuan had already sunk into the depths of the lava.

“Brother Ye must have treated me once. Otherwise, I would have died.”

Ji Qinghuan’s long wine-red hair fluttered in the wind.

Her fair skin shone with a white glow in the lava. She was like a piece of fine jade that had absorbed the essence of the heavens and the moon. Every part of her body was like a dream. Just a glance was enough to stun one for ten thousand years.

Streams of red lava turned into dragons that flowed by her side.

The energy in the lava was quickly refined into pure spiritual energy, which then condensed into a spiritual stone.

She didn’t sleep or rest. When she was tired, she laid down in the lava to recover her energy.

When she was hungry, she left the lava and caught fish in the nearby river to roast.

She never wasted any time.

However, such high-intensity refining of spiritual stones had consumed a huge amount of energy in her meridians.

Two months later, Ji Qinghuan’s meridians seemed to be torn apart inch by inch.

The pain was so excruciating that her lips were bleeding from how much she bit them.

Ji Qinghuan’s shoulders trembled slightly, and her elegant collarbone was dripping with sweat.

“I can’t give up. Brother Ye has no other way to obtain cultivation resources.”

“I must help him break through to the Golden Core Realm. Otherwise, we won’t be able to deal with that huge crisis!”

“I have to persevere-”

Ji Qinghuan’s obsession was extremely deep, and she persevered in refining the spiritual stones.

Three months later, more than 32 flame runes appeared on her chest.

She even refined 5,000 flawless spiritual stones.

“5,000 spiritual stones. Is that enough for Brother Ye to advance to the Third Level of the Foundation Establishment Realm?”

Ji Qinghuan coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Exhausted, she climbed up the crater of the volcano.

Although her internal organs, limbs, and bones were all torn apart as if they were on fire, her smile was quite bright. The flames in her eyes were jumping up and down.

“When I return, I’ll definitely give Brother Ye a surprise!”

…

At the capital, in front of Lin Qiye’s residence, Ji Qinghuan landed gracefully.

“Brother Ye, I’ve refined 5,000 spiritual stones. Quick, take them to cultivate!”

Before she could finish her sentence, Ji Qinghuan’s vision turned dark. She collapsed into Lin Qiye’s arms and fainted.

“Her vitality has been reduced for three years. Furthermore, her meridians are on the verge of collapse. If she didn’t possess the Flame Dao Bone, I’m afraid that she would be dead…”

Lin Qiye’s expression changed.

How could he not know that Ji Qinghuan was risking her life for him?

“If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to defy the heavens and change my fate this time. Thank you for risking your life for me!”

Lin Qiye carried Ji Qinghuan.

He carefully placed her on the bed.

Then, he used his innate Qi to help her eliminate the hidden injuries in her body.

After two days, Ji Qinghuan disappeared once again.

Without a doubt, she was desperately refining spiritual stones to help Lin Qiye break through to the Golden Core Realm.

Thus, for the next few years, Ji Qinghuan would bring back 5,000 flawless spiritual stones every three months.

Each spiritual stone was equivalent to a spiritual spring.

For three whole years, Lin Qiye’s cultivation base had broken through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm under Ji Qinghuan’s care.

As long as he swallowed the last 5,000 spiritual stones, he would be able to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

“Quickly swallow the spiritual stones. This time, you will definitely become a Golden Core Realm cultivator!”

Ji Qinghuan urged.

Looking at Ji Qinghuan in his arms, Lin Qiye’s actions became much gentler. Her eyelashes were fluttering, sweat was dripping, and her meridians were on the verge of collapsing for the thirteenth time.

“Thank you for using up seventy years of your lifespan to help me…”

Hearing this, Ji Qinghuan’s exhausted eyes were filled with a bright and beautiful smile.

“You’re welcome. You’re the God of our country.”

“If even God can’t solve the crisis, wouldn’t our country be reduced to ashes?”

“I… I’m just a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Can I survive the crisis?”

Ji Qinghuan’s clear eyes were shining, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a satisfied smile.

“I want you to always be a god.”

“A God should shine. I don’t like to see you frown…”

She mumbled something inaudible and then fainted.

Lin Qiye heaved a sigh of relief.

He placed his hand on Ji Qinghuan’s chest and channeled his innate Qi to eliminate the layers of internal injuries in her body.

This time, there were more internal injuries than ever before.

It seemed like she was even more desperate.

She must be very anxious.

Lin Qiye took a deep breath, his heart full of emotions.

He could not help but tremble in admiration for Ji Qinghuan.

“Don’t worry. I will break through to the Golden Core Realm and defeat all the invaders!”

“I am the God of Kingdom Xia! I am also your God! God will not let you down.”

Lin Qiye’s gaze was burning.

He picked up the 5,000 spiritual stones that Ji Qinghuan had worked hard to refine and went into the cultivation room.

“There should only be a month left before the spiritual energy restores, and the Celestial Race descends.

“I have to breakthrough! Otherwise, everything will be a dream. Ji Qinghuan will die, and I will suffer a huge loss during this journey.”

“No matter what, I cannot lose!”

With that thought in mind, Lin Qiye closed his eyes and quickly devoured the spiritual stones.

Ten days passed in a flash.

Lin Qiye was still in seclusion, but Ji Qinghuan woke up early.

“Brother Ye’s methods are really amazing. All the fatigue in my body was swept away.”

“As expected of my God.”

Ji Qinghuan walked to the window.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve monitored the situation in Kingdom Xia. I wonder how the people are doing?”

Ji Qinghuan knew that Lin Qiye was in seclusion, so she did not disturb him.

Instead, she inspected the Kingdom Xia.

Nearly four years had passed.

Everything in the kingdom was in good order. The number of cultivators had reached 37 million.

The number of cultivators in the Second Level of the Qi Refinement Realm had reached as many as ten thousand.

Even though the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was thin, there were still six geniuses who had cultivated to the Third Level of the Qi Refinement Realm.

“However… In the face of such a huge crisis, I’m afraid these cultivators do not even deserve to be cannon fodder.”

“It’s just that I don’t know what kind of crisis would cause Brother Ye to be so worried.”

Ji Qinghuan was rather curious.

She couldn’t imagine it.

She could only wait until the time came to reveal the secret.

After patrolling the kingdom, Ji Qinghuan came to Grandma Lin’s residence.

Grandma Lin was busy.

“Girl, you are back? I haven’t seen you for a few years. You must be busy now, right?”

“In another month, my grandson will be 11 years old. I have to make some preparations.”

Hearing this, Ji Qinghuan was dumbfounded.

W-what? 11 years old?

“Grandma, did you remember wrongly? Why is Lin Qiye 11 years old?”

Grandma Lin chuckled. “That’s right. My grandson is born with extraordinary strength. He’s already 1.8 meters when he’s six years old.”

“He’s been busy for the past few years and neglected his birthday celebration. As a grandma, I want to give him a surprise. Do you want to come along?”

Ji Qinghuan nodded, but her mind was blank.

“Four years ago, he was only seven years old? I fell in love with a child?”

At this moment, Ji Qinghuan felt that she had committed a grave sin. She wondered if she had some strange fetishes. When she helped Grandma Lin, she was a little careless and absent-minded.

Sometimes, she would suddenly blush.

…

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

Ten days passed, and Ji Qinghuan and Grandma Lin were preparing for Lin Qiye’s grand birthday.

Suddenly, the world shook violently.

It was as if a huge beast was attacking the world!

Then, the sun shifted in the sky, and countless meteors that blocked out the sun rained down!

Ji Qinghuan was stunned. A strong sense of crisis and despair rose in her heart.

“Has the huge crisis that Brother Ye mentioned arrived? But Brother Ye hasn’t come out of seclusion yet!”

“I have to stand in front and fight for time for Brother Ye!”

Ji Qinghuan bit her bright red lips lightly, and her temperament suddenly changed to that of a flaming queen.
