Chapter 148 The Son of Heaven
In a courtyard of the Qionghua Immortal Sect.
As the space fluctuated violently, Gu Qinglan and Lin Yixuan appeared here.
Gu Qinglan looked at Lin Yixuan and asked.
"Can you tell me what happened over the years? Why have you changed so much?"
Lin Yixuan hesitated for a moment and replied.
"Before I answer your question, there is one thing I need you to tell me in person."
Gu Qinglan looked at Lin Yixuan.
(This guy has really changed. He wasn't like this before.)
"Tell me about it, I'll think about it."
Gu Qinglan said uncertainly.
"If your teacher, Wangtian, insisted on killing me, would you stand on his side?"
Lin Yixuan looked into Gu Qinglan's eyes and asked.
Gu Qinglan avoided Lin Yixuan's question and answered.
"I do not know."
"Then let me ask it another way. What do I want you to be willing to stand by my side?"
Lin Yixuan asked again seriously.
Gu Qinglan looked at Lin Yixuan's serious expression and felt a little dazed, as if she had returned to that time.
'In the second stage of the mysterious underground trial, when killing monsters, Lin Yixuan also asked Gu Qinglan this seriously.
It was a starry night, and the two of them were lying on the grass to rest together.
Lin Yixuan suddenly asked Gu Qinglan,
"Do you know what qualifications are? Several people said that my qualifications are OK. I remember that you also said that my qualifications are OK."
"Qualifications determine a person's potential. The better the qualifications, the greater the potential. There are only one person who can practice cultivation in ten thousand. And this one in ten thousand depends on his qualifications. If a person with poor qualifications can break through the foundation-building stage, it's already very good. People with decent qualifications like you can still hope to reach the Golden Core Realm. Only those with superior qualifications can hope to impact the Nascent Soul Realm. But qualifications are not absolute. Many things can be used to improve one's qualifications, such as the magic weapon Glazed Heart of the Canaan Temple, the legendary 'Bodhi Fruit', 'Holy Spirit Liquid'... and so on. Even some special elixirs that surpass the Heavenly Grade have the effect of improving qualifications."
Gu Qinglan explained as she gazed at the brilliant starry sky.
"So that's how it is... Actually, I quite like my current life. If I can continue living like this, I would be willing to do so."
Lin Yixuan sat up and said to Gu Qinglan who was lying beside him,
Gu Qinglan also sat up, avoiding Lin Yixuan's gaze, and said.
"No~ This won't work. I can't do it."
Lin Yixuan looked at Gu Qinglan and asked seriously.
"Then let me ask it another way. What do you want in exchange for accepting me? Being with me?"
Gu Qinglan turned her head to look at Lin Yixuan, then quickly looked away and raised her head to look at the starry sky.
"At least wait until you reach the Nascent Soul stage."
Gu Qinglan looked at Lin Yixuan, who had now reached the Nascent Soul stage.
(It’s not that I don’t like him. He actually took a casual remark I made once seriously and actually did it. Now I can’t make up my mind.)
Gu Qinglan looked into the distance and answered in a daze.
"I have no idea!"
"So that's how it is, I know!"
As Lin Yixuan spoke, he took out the box containing the 'Ice Spirit Pill' and placed it on the stone table.
"Ice Spirit Pill, a high-level earth-grade pill. For those who practice ice-based techniques, the pill's effect can even reach that of a half-heaven-grade pill."
"This is a gift for you. I made the Ice Spirit Pill for you using the Tianshan Snow Lotus as the main ingredient. I know you may not accept it."
Lin Yixuan paused and continued.
"Since leaving that trial ground, I've encountered a lot of things..."
'Lin Yixuan recounted some of the things that happened during this period, but deliberately omitted many things.'
"You've been through so much during this time~"
Gu Qinglan looked at the 'Ice Spirit Pill' on the stone table and listened to Lin Yixuan's words, feeling a little emotional.
"I don't know what your teacher means by 'the son who defies heaven', but I will not compromise easily. I don't believe in destiny. No one can predict the future. I will prove that the current heaven is wrong. I will not bow to fate!"
Lin Yixuan said with a serious expression.
Gu Qinglan came back to her senses after listening to Lin Yixuan's words and said seriously.
"In fact, I know that you have guessed my identity. I am one of the avatars of the former Ice God Li Ningshuang. Zhao Linger is also one of them. There is another one in Tongxuan Continent. There are more than one gods like us."
Gu Qinglan paused here and continued.
"Teacher Wangtian has three disciples. The God of Fire has completely fallen, and the 'Fire God Art' you obtained is the inheritance of the God of Fire. The other one is the God of Green Wood. Xuanyi Zhenren's female disciple Yue Lingxi and Tianya Academy's Bai Ling are both incarnations of the God of Green Wood... The others are not very clear! As for the 'Son of Defying Heaven' mentioned by Teacher Wangtian, in fact, not many people know about it. It took the teacher hundreds of years of cultivation to figure it out. The behavior of the 'Son of Defying Heaven' will destroy the way of heaven. It will break the mountains and rivers, cause the gods to fall, and make the world completely different! In that kind of world, the spiritual energy is exhausted, and it is impossible to practice at all. Without the nourishment of spiritual energy, everyone's lifespan is only a few dozen years. Without the nourishment of spiritual energy, everyone will be plagued by diseases until death. In order to avoid the arrival of such a doomsday scene, the teacher will become what he is now..."
Gu Qinglan stopped talking here and didn't want to continue.
Lin Yixuan listened to Gu Qinglan's words and fell into deep thought. (Is that so? If everyone only has a few decades to live, then there won't be that much time to plan, plot, or kill. Maybe it will be a truly peaceful and prosperous age. But can it really be as I imagined? That enemy is still eyeing us...)
While the two of them were in silence,
There was a fluctuation in the space, and Zhao Linger walked out of it.
After Zhao Linger came out, she immediately threw herself on Lin Yixuan and said.
"I miss you so much..."
Lin Yixuan stroked Zhao Linger's head.
Gu Qinglan coughed dryly, but Zhao Linger acted as if she didn't hear it.
Gu Qinglan looked at the carefree Zhao Linger, as if something was pulled out of her body.
(Obviously, I should be the one in Lin Yixuan’s arms, but I can’t do it～～)
