Chapter 007

"Killing time, huh? Nineteen, no, eighteen years of popsicle life is too boring. I have to suppress my own cultivation; I must find something to study, right?" Ming Xijue replied

What do you need to remember so much for

Ming Xijue could not care less about the fact that the Lord God mentioned the existence of monsters in the world where she originally lived; instead, she seized upon a crucial point: "You know my exact date of birth, so you must know who my parents are, right?"

"You have come to find me, but is it for the matter of my impending madness?" Ming Xijue turned around and spoke slowly

Although this decision has been made, when we arrived at the forbidden place and saw Ming Xijue, no one could speak.

How could this be? It's hard to believe that the worries have left so quickly

After he left, Su Yao hesitated slightly and asked, "Elder Zong Lian, what do you think..."

Indeed, you were born precisely at the stroke of midnight in the 21st century. Not only the time, but also the place and certain special factors have endowed you with an innate balance of Yin and Yang. If cultivated to perfection, this can transform into the mysterious yellow energy and the primordial purple energy. Your innate talent is unparalleled; if the talent of an average person is rated at one hundred points, then Xuanxiao's talent can reach ninety-five points, while yours is a perfect one thousand points. What I refer to as the average of the five elements is not the chaotic wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth of this world, but rather the five elements of earth, water, wind, fire, and fortune. Your talents have reached perfection. If you were born in the primordial era, you would undoubtedly be a saint born of heaven.

Ming Xijue took the seal without saying a word and left directly

His expression was a mix of three parts madness, three parts melancholy, three parts anticipation, and one part unease: "Master God, can you tell me who my parents are?"

Li You only felt a bitter taste in his mouth: "Are you saying that we have destroyed a genius?"

Could they really be wrong

In the highest level of the Yunmo Pavilion, not only are the most advanced techniques collected from various sources or created by members of the sect stored, but also, as a precaution, one hundred large jade slips have been prepared to contain any texts related to Qionghua—regardless of their quality or difficulty. These serve as the seed of the sect, a final glimmer of hope should Qionghua ever find itself in dire straits. Even if Qionghua were to be extinguished, as long as future generations obtain one of these jade slips, they must vow in their hearts to become disciples of Qionghua. In this way, the lineage of Qionghua will never be severed. Xuanxiao is precisely here for these jade slips; he is already aware of the vastness of his spirit and thus intends to forcibly memorize all the contents, planning to review them slowly later.

Su Yao thought of that gentle, proud, and resolute lover, feeling that their brotherhood was inherently similar, and she nearly could not maintain her cold expression. Zong Lian noticed that Su Yao's expression was off and realized she was thinking of Xuan Zhen. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh and stepped forward: "Xuan Xiao, we have neither found Wang Shu nor can we locate the Han Qi in the short term. We can only resort to a last resort, sealing you with ten-thousand-year Xuan Ice and waiting to unseal you again after nineteen years."

"How fast?" Zong Lian shook his head, a mix of deep admiration and regret in his expression. "With such a high level of cultivation as Xuan Xiao, and constantly utilizing Xi He while often engaging in life-and-death battles, it is already a miracle that he has managed to maintain his rationality and clarity until now. He has persisted for a year; do you understand what that concept entails? You have experienced the difficulties of our Qionghua's trial grounds. What do you think would happen if the meridians and heart veins in your body were buffeted by the gale for a year? And it is not just about the pain; he also bears extreme pressure, facing the life-and-death struggle between righteousness and evil... Perhaps we were all mistaken. If he did not have Xi He, although his cultivation speed would be slower, within ten years, our Qionghua would surely welcome its first ascendant."

The main deity paused for a moment before saying, "Have you already discovered it?"

Upon hearing his words, the three elders fell silent.

"The method is good, but why should I listen to you?" Ming Xijue curled his lips into a mocking smile, a blend of flamboyance and wildness.

He has done so much for Qionghua, and has endured the torment of the sun's heat piercing his heart day after day, with the pain of reversed meridians becoming increasingly evident as he exerts his spiritual power, lasting longer each time. Now, he has no time even for relief, suffering day and night, minute by minute. To propose freezing him until the next time the demon realm passes by, after guarding this desolate place for nineteen years, is truly too cruel a request for that proud individual. Thus, even Qingyang and Chongguang remained silent. Although they harbor resentment, they also feel guilt. If it were not for being blinded by rage at that time, they would not have allowed Xuan Zhen, whom they had watched grow up, to die unjustly, nor would they have witnessed Xuan Xiao in such a desolate state.

Ming Xijue gasped in disbelief: "Impossible, I am an ordinary human!" He certainly understood what this meant. The Demon Emperor, Di Jun, was transformed from the left eye of Pangu and possessed two supreme treasures: the Starry Sky Array Diagram of the Zhou Tian and the Eastern Emperor Bell. However, he had not attained sainthood by the time of his fall. Within himself, there were still elements that could be cultivated into the Xuanhuang Qi and the Hongmeng Purple Qi. He had already formed a sufficient understanding of how terrifying his own aptitude was. Even the exotic beings born during the Primordial Era were not as formidable, let alone the fact that he was an ordinary person born in modern times. "Moreover, if my aptitude is so exceptional, why have I not exhibited any abnormalities from childhood to now?"

Zong Lian let out a long sigh and slowly walked forward. Su Yao looked at his back and felt that he had aged significantly in an instant, exuding endless sorrow and desolation

Perhaps it is the coincidence of your birth time, or perhaps it is some other reason, who knows? If it were not for your unparalleled talents and a soul capable of traversing the main world, how could I have chosen you? The Lord God himself does not know the reason. As for the absence of abnormalities, that is your body's self-protection; otherwise, you would likely have been devoured by monsters right after your birth.

Ming Xijue raised a gentle smile and said playfully, "Of course, when refining the Three Spirit Pearls, the order I adopted was fire first, then thunder, and finally water, which minimizes obstacles. I won't elaborate on the Fire Spirit Pearl; Xuanxiao is the pinnacle of fire-type heavenly fire and possesses a heavenly spiritual root, so it was naturally quite easy. However, strangely, I always felt that the refinement of the Thunder Spirit Pearl and the Water Spirit Pearl was not particularly difficult either. After much contemplation, I finally discovered a serious issue: the Five Spirit Pearls are the condensation of the five elements after Pangu opened the heavens, so such treasures should resonate with the soul rather than the body. I also found that since becoming Xuanxiao, not only has my memory improved significantly, but my mind has also become much more agile, making it easy to comprehend new techniques and create new sword arts. At first, I thought this was due to Xuanxiao's high intelligence, but later realized that Xuanxiao could not reach such a terrifying level." His smile deepened, yet his eyes were filled with a chilling killing intent, which he revealed without any concealment, "Master God, can you tell me why this is?"

Su Yao was taken aback by his abrupt change of topic. After exchanging a glance with Zong Lian, she nodded, took out the sect leader's seal, and said, "Of course, what do you want to do?"

Zong Lian was startled by his reaction. Su Yao frowned, came back to her senses, and her voice softened a bit: "Junior Brother Xuan Xiao, this is for your own good..."

His appearance remains exceptionally handsome, yet it has taken on a pallid hue, and there is a faintly translucent quality to it. The veins on his hands are overly prominent and grotesque, making it evident that his current physical condition has deteriorated sharply, reaching the brink of collapse

It doesn't matter, there will be time in the future! Ming Xijue paid no heed to this and was determined to push himself to the limit.

"My matters do not require your interference," Ming Xijue said coldly, then turned to Su Yao, "I request permission to access the highest floor of the Yunmo Pavilion"

"It is due to your qualifications," the Lord replied, "You should have noticed many inconsistencies, as that is inherent to your qualifications."

If you were to memorize these things, you would not finish reading them even in one hundred and ninety years, let alone studying them

Yet, even while enduring pain that could drive one to madness, and with his life hanging by a thread, his expression remains proud and composed, as if nothing in this world could break him... not pain, not illness, not time... Even the betrayal of friends and lovers is seen by him as an opportunity to sever old ties and ascend to a higher level... How can there be such a person in this world? Even the betrayal of friends and lovers is seen by him as an opportunity to sever old ties and ascend to a higher level... How can there be such a person in this world?

Five series average. The main deity uttered four words

Ming Xijue was about to deny it, because possessing five spiritual roots was a disqualifying trait that could not even succeed in foundation establishment. Even four spiritual roots were referred to as pseudo-spiritual roots. From this perspective, he clearly... However, he immediately realized the key point and narrowed his eyes, asking: "Is the aptitude of each system the same as that of Xuandao in the fire system?"

Yunmo Pavilion

Zong Lian furrowed his brows: "Indeed, I can see that the blazing sun has begun to invade his heart's veins, causing a significant change in his character"

Ming Xijue's tone was quite unpleasant: "What on earth is going on? What is my aptitude?"
