YM778.TV Chapter 189 - 189: In This World, One Cannot Become an Immortal! 1
However, just as everyone was eagerly anticipating Qin Changqing to reach the top, he suddenly stopped, stopping at the 9,999th level.
Lingsu’s pursuit also came to a halt. She instinctively gathered her sword techniques to attack Qin Changqing, but she suddenly felt that something was off.
“Huh?”
A strong suction force suddenly came from under her feet, immobilizing her in place.
Lingsu looked down and found that there were array designs on the ground where she was standing, which she had no idea when they appeared.
“Array Formation?”
“Bingo, you got it.” Qin Changqing crossed his arms and laughed, “Miss Lingsu, you have great strength, but unfortunately, it seems that you lack a bit of worldly experience. In the future, you should spend more time learning about the ways of the world so that you won’t fall for traps so easily.”
Lingsu couldn’t believe it: “When did that happen? I didn’t feel it at all…”
“The first time you caught up with me.” Qin Changqing shook his head, “Do you really think that I was oblivious to the fierce battle going on between you and Jian Yiyi behind me? Although I don’t know why you’re not restricted by the Tianti Road, you pose a threat to all of us. How could I not be prepared at all? I’m not as foolish as Nangong Aotian.”
Lingsu understood. Indeed, she hadn’t considered this much. If she were in Qin Changqing’s position and had two people pursuing her so closely and fiercely, she would have prepared something in advance as well.
But regret was of no use now.
With gritted teeth, Lingsu tried to break free from the control of the Array Formation but found that the formation under her feet seemed to be integrated with the Tianti Road, making it impossible for her to move at all.
“Give up. This Array Formation is specially designed for you, integrating the will of the Tianti Road. Since you’re not restricted by it, let me give you some restrictions.” Qin Changqing said with a smile.
“How could it be? You can control the Tianti Road?”
“Of course not, but… it seems I can do something through it.”
As his words fell, the array designs under Lingsu’s feet suddenly lit up with dazzling light, and then an array diagram emerged, from which a golden dragon crawled out.
Roar! !
Everyone was startled.
“Fortune Golden Dragon?”
“That’s it. He just used the Fortune Golden Dragon as the foundation of his
Array Formation. The Tianti Road has limits for cultivators, but not for the Fortune Golden Dragon. Moreover, this Fortune Golden Dragon can integrate into the Tianti Road, allowing Qin Changqing to use it as a basis for manipulating the will of Tianti Road… This is an unprecedented and ingenious move.” Some people with profound array formation knowledge saw the subtlety of Qin Changqing’s move at a glance.
MO Ziya laughed, “Excellent! I didn’t know that the Fortune Golden Dragon could be used in this way. However, that girl has lost.”
To break free from the array formation set up by the Fortune Golden Dragon, Lingsu would have to use her own strength to resist the pressure of the will of the Tianti Road. But she couldn’t do it since that was the last and most powerful layer of Tianti Road.
“Miss Lingsu, can you tell me now why you wanted to kill me?” Qin Changqing asked curiously. “There must be a reason for killing someone, and I don’t think you’re from Dayan. That broken place can’t cultivate someone like you.” “Hmph!” Lingsu struggled in vain and closed her eyes with resignation, “The mission has failed, just kill me if you want.”
“Mission? Who gave you this mission?”
“Is there someone who doesn’t want me to reach the top? But why me? Is it because I am…”
Qin Changqing hesitated for a moment, as if he had suddenly understood something, but he was still unsure.
He leaned over and whispered in Lingsu’s ear, “The Purple Emperor Star?” Lingsu’s body shuddered, and her eyes snapped open.
“Seems like it is indeed.” Qin Changqing nodded. Back when he awakened the Emperor’s Saint Body and made the stars flicker, Mu Taixu almost fainted with fright. Then, MO Jiuzhou repeatedly explained, suggesting that the matter had a more significant impact than he thought.
Someone did not want a person with the fate of the Purple Emperor Star to grow stronger.
Moreover, this power was not from Dayan, nor was it within Tianchuan State.
“Since you won’t tell me, I won’t force you. Come to my place after the Tianti
Road… What? You don’t want to? I wasn’t asking for your opinion.” Qin Changqing pointed, activating the array formation. Lingsu struggled for a moment, then her thoughts went blank, and she passed out.
“What’s the matter? I invited you to my place, not to sleep right away. Oh well, since you’re so enthusiastic, just go ahead.” Qin Changqing held the unconscious Lingsu, waved towards the outside of the Tianti Road, and then threw her down.
Qin Lingshuang, who had already ‘clocked out’ in advance, immediately flew over to catch her.
Swish swish swish!
People from various sects all looked over one by one.
Lingsu had a way to avoid the pressure of the Tianti Road, which made all the major sects naturally interested in her.
Qin Lingshuang understood their intentions and flew directly towards Mu Taixu with Lingsu.
“Fellow Daoists,” Mu Taixu stood up, “This girl intended to kill my Lingxiao
Sect disciple, using ruthless methods. We’ve caught her now, and after the Tianti Road, I will take her back for interrogation. Please do us the favor of stepping aside.”
MO Ziya also said, “This girl is mysterious. My Taiyi Academy will send someone to interrogate her along with Lingxiao Sect. Everyone else should stay out of it.
As soon as he said this, those who had been itching to act obediently ceased any further thoughts.
Everyone knew that Taiyi Academy was the most powerful force in Tianchuan State, far surpassing Wanjian Pavilion.
“Let’s watch Oin Changing reach the top instead.” Mo Ziya laughed.
Everyone’s attention shifted back to the figure at the top of the Tianti Road.
9,999 layers!
This was the highest level reached on the Tianti Road since its creation. “I wonder what the situation will be like after reaching the top.”
“Is there really the will of the immortals left at the top of the Tianti Road?”
“Maybe there will be some kind of inheritance left.”
“Sheesh- This kid is really lucky. No one in the Tianxuan Realm has become immortal for thousands of years, and there might be a great secret hidden here.”
“Who would have thought that someone who hasn’t even reached the Golden
Elixir Peak would make it to the end?”
“Strange, why hasn’t the kid climbed up yet?”
As time passed, everyone noticed that Qin Changqing remained motionless where he stood.
Even MO Ziya wondered about this.
Although he didn’t want Qin Changqing to draw attention at this time, he knew there was no escape from the confrontation with Jiexian Gate. It would be better to gain more chances and grow faster.
“Why is he still hesitating?” MO Ziya pondered with furrowed brows.
On another side.
Qin Changqing stood still, staring at the last step of the Tianti Road.
Upon reaching this point, some of his doubts were also answered.
“At the end of this path, there is emptiness.” He wondered, “Strange, I’ve gained something throughout my journey, so why is there nothing at the end, where I should have gained a significant opportunity?”
Although he hadn’t stepped on the last step, he could feel that there was nothing on the mountain top except endless emptiness, devoid even of the Great Dao.
He was fine without stepping on the last step. Once he did, he would be engulfed in that space and wouldn’t be able to perceive the Great Dao, his immortal path likely severed for life.
All the signs seemed to be telling him a message—no one can become an immortal in this world!
