428: Chapter 428 A Chance Encounter, A Legendary Figure from the Xuanhuang Realm
Somewhere in the Universe.
Senior Li Qinger appeared at the edge of the Universe with Nangong Wan.
"Senior, where are we going?" Nangong Wan couldn't help but ask.
Senior Li Qinger smiled and said in a mysterious tone, "A good place that will allow your cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Wan's expression remained exceptionally calm. She seemed to have little interest in this place that could boost her cultivation, and instead asked again, "Senior, Senior Brother's talent is higher than mine. Why didn't you bring Senior Brother along as well?"
If possible, Nangong Wan deeply wished to Cultivate together with Senior Brother, make progress together, and then find Revered Master together.
Senior Li Qinger, however, shook her head repeatedly. "I do not want to get involved with his Karma, and this path is only suitable for you, not for him."
When mentioning Mo Tianxiao, the smile on Senior Li Qinger's Face immediately turned into an expression of annoyance.
She did not want to get too close to that guy, lest she invite unnecessary trouble.
"Alright, enough about that guy. He has plenty of trouble on him. If you want to help him, just Cultivate well."
Senior Li Qinger shook her head and continued on their journey with Nangong Wan.
The two stepped into a region of Chaos and continued forward. Before long, Nangong Wan saw that there were other Cultivators in this Chaos, stepping forward through this chaotic matter one step at a time.
The other Cultivators naturally noticed the figures of Nangong Wan and her companion. Seeing them walk as if on level ground and overtake them at a speed invisible to the naked eye, their Faces were immediately filled with deep shock.
"Which Senior is this?"
"With such fast speed, could it be that they are about to take that step?"
Many Cultivators were shocked, but this shock lasted only for an instant; after all, such beings had little to do with them.
Having stayed here for a long time, it was not strange to occasionally encounter such a freak.
"Senior, what is the meaning of these Cultivators' actions?"
Nangong Wan looked at one Cultivator after another being left behind, curiosity rising in her heart. "Are their destinations the same as ours? Why are they so slow?"
Senior Li Qinger's expression was calm, without a ripple. "Just a group of Dao-seeking Cultivators. Born into humble circumstances, they should have lofty ambitions. Man can conquer Heaven—this saying applies to any Dao-seeking Cultivator."
"Seeking the Dao, seeking the Dao. All Cultivators in the world wish to attain the Dao and achieve Immortal Ascension, but alas, how many can truly achieve Immortal Ascension?"
Saying this, Nangong Wan felt an aura of loneliness from Senior Li Qinger. She could not describe what kind of feeling that was.
As they traveled further along this path, Nangong Wan noticed that there were fewer and fewer Cultivators around. Some had even stopped, sitting cross-legged as if they had passed away.
She did not know where this path led, but she vaguely knew that if she had not left with Senior Li Qinger, she might have stepped onto this path of Chaos in the future.
Unknown how much time passed, Nangong Wan looked ahead and saw two more figures, one in black and one in white.
Nangong Wan did not know why, but she felt a trace of familiarity from the two figures ahead, yet she was certain she had never met them before.
"Hmm?" Senior Li Qinger wondered.
Her gaze also fell on the two ahead, and then she calculated with her fingers, her Face revealing realization. "So that is how it is."
The two ahead stood in the Chaos, resisting the various chaotic energies around them, moving forward slowly.
They suddenly sensed something and looked up at the same time, discovering Nangong Wan and Senior Li Qinger.
The combination of the two was truly strange: a weak woman and a young girl.
"Eh?"
The man in white seemed to also sense a trace of familiarity, but Nangong Wan and her companion were too fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had rushed ahead of them.
The man in black looked surprised. "There are such great beings in the world!"
Swish!
Suddenly, two streaks of light shot from ahead and merged into their minds. The next instant, the two felt their bodies lighten. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise.
Immediately, the two hurriedly cupped their hands and said respectfully towards the distance, "Thank you, Senior!"
Senior Li Qinger did not respond to the two, simply disappearing from their sight with Nangong Wan.
The man in black had both surprise and curiosity on his Face. "What did the Senior mean? Why did they suddenly give us such a great Opportunity?"
The man in white pondered for a moment, also unable to fathom the Senior's intentions, but he had a guess.
"Among the two just now, one person's aura was somewhat familiar; I seem to have seen it somewhere... The other one must be the Senior who bestowed the Opportunity upon us. I think the Senior bestowed the Opportunity upon us either for the sake of the other person or because they felt we were promising talents."
Upon hearing this, the man in black's mouth twitched. "That Senior walks on this Return to Ruins Chaos Path as if on level ground; would they really care about our meager strength and talent? It must be a good Karma you forged at some point, and I just happened to benefit from it."
The man in white was called out but didn't get angry; instead, he laughed, "Seeing a figure like the Senior also walking this path means this path is correct."
"Then let's speed up."
The two smiled at each other, feeling grateful to the Senior in their hearts, but their moods quickly calmed down. After all, even without the Senior's help, they still had the confidence to finish this path.
"Senior Li, that was just now..."
Nangong Wan looked curiously at Senior Li Qinger, puzzled by what the other had just done. However, for a split second, her body felt a bit lighter. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that what Senior Li did was because of her.
Senior Li Qinger said calmly, "Among those two, one of them has a trace of Karma with you. This is the grace of a Legacy, which should have been repaid by you yourself."
"But because I took you away, I interfered with your Karma. Since we happened to run into them, I just helped you repay this Karma. Their talent and Comprehension Ability are both superior. If they do not die halfway, they also have the possibility of attaining the Dao. This barrier is not difficult for them, but it is not easy either. My action was just adding flowers to the brocade. Repaying this Karma for you is enough."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Wan was surprised. Hearing about the grace of a Legacy, an answer surfaced in her mind. "Could that person be the Void Emperor?"
The Void Emperor, that was a legendary figure of the Xuanhuang World. She did not expect that in this life, she would actually encounter this person who could be considered half a guide on her path of cultivation.
Looking at it this way, what kind of existence is Senior Li? She casually dissolved a piece of her Karma and interfered with others' Karma; this shouldn't be a simple matter.
Boom!
A rumbling sound came faintly from ahead, deep and muffled.
As they moved further forward, the sound gradually grew louder. She even felt as if she were inside a massive bell, with an incomparably magnificent sound coming from all directions.
"We are out."
Senior Li Qinger's lips curled slightly upward. The next instant, they finished walking this path full of chaotic energy.
"Finally, we can speed up a little."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nangong Wan's vision became blurred, and everything around became distorted and unclear, as if traveling through space and time.
She couldn't help but look back at the place they had just emerged from. It was a beautiful, brilliant sphere, its surface covered in colorful energy, expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Is that... the place they came out of?
