598: Lin Xuan lets Xiao Hongdou leave
"Let's go!"
The Revered Master of Saint Yaoguang was a renowned Immortal Emperor from ancient times. Before taking Saint Yaoguang as his disciple, he had entered the River of Time and observed Saint Yaoguang's past.
Seeing him so grief-stricken, Immortal Emperor Huatian sighed, enveloped Saint Yaoguang, and vanished into the boundless Void Realm.
"Let's go back too!"
"Old Ancestor, you go back first. I'll take Wenge and Wenwu to Boundless Divine Sect to visit Luorou."
Chu Qiuchan said with hesitation.
"...You can, but you understand, right?"
"I understand!"
Chu Qiuchan readily agreed and hurried off with the twins.
Her heart was bitter; without making a contribution, she couldn't receive the Chaos Origin Liquid reward, so she could only help Boundless Divine Sect with tasks.
She was already an Immortal Emperor, revered by all the Heavens, yet she still couldn't escape the fate of laboring. The Innate Ox-Horse Saint Body was truly hers...
"No one can contend against him!"
Lin Xuan sensed the changes in the rules of the Eternal Universe, his spirit soaring through the Heavens, searching for the source, and taking in Gu Qing's Heaven-Defying Divine Ability.
He was silent for a long time, a sense of despair and powerlessness rising in his heart.
He, who possessed an invincible belief, was now crushed to pieces.
Even if Lin Xuan was unwilling to admit it, he had to concede that he could never be Gu Qing's opponent in this life.
Gu Qing was simply not someone a human could defeat.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Xiao Hongdou, seeing his dejected expression, couldn't help but ask happily.
"You, ah..."
Jinhua helplessly pulled her behind him. Xiao Hongdou truly wasn't afraid of death, constantly prancing on Lin Xuan's sore spots.
Tianyi's expression was solemn and cold: "You should find a place to hide if you don't want to die."
Both she and Jinhua were transcendent beings. What Lin Xuan could see, they naturally could too.
Whether it was Gu Qing himself or the Guixu Sword, they were both enough to utterly crush Lin Xuan.
"Is my younger sister worried about me?" Lin Xuan heard this, and if it were before, his lips would surely have curved into a smile.
After all, Tianyi was his blood-related younger sister.
But now, he replied weakly.
"Hmph, I have said all I need to say. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me."
During this time, Lin Xuan had returned her Destined Sword to her, helping her achieve Perfection in her Origin and lecturing her on the Dao.
The grudge of its seizure, she had already let go of.
However, she would never sacrifice herself for Lin Xuan.
"Sister Jinhua, what exactly happened?" Xiao Hongdou grew more and more curious the more she listened, sensing it was related to Gu Qing. She immediately hugged Jinhua's arm, acting spoiled.
Jinhua hesitated, then said with a complex tone: "Gu Qing has Broken Through to the Perfection of the God Emperor Sixth Realm. His Divine Might is boundless. He defeated nine Immortal Emperors at the Sixth Realm Perfection with one move, effortlessly crushing those of the same Realm."
"What?" Xiao Hongdou's almond eyes widened. Her first reaction was to doubt if she had heard wrong.
As an Immortal King at the Peak, she was very aware of the disparity at higher Realms.
Upon reaching the Heavenly God Realm, it was difficult to even defeat an opponent. At the Profound God Realm, it was even harder, and killing an opponent was almost impossible.
Because it was very difficult to obliterate the opponent's Great Dao Law Origin.
Immortal Kings, needless to say, were even more so.
She was also considered a Prodigy, with unparalleled combat power, but she still had to exert great effort to defeat an opponent. To kill an opponent, she could only rely on the power of Magic Treasures. Relying on her own strength, that was only possible in dreams.
Although she was not in the Transcendent Realm, having spent a long time with transcendent beings, she clearly understood that once one reached the Transcendent Realm, one's own Great Dao was formed, and everyone was almost equal. The Origin Law was indestructible and eternal, existing for an eternal thought.
How did Gu Qing crush those of the same Realm to death?
Was it by relying on a Magic Treasure?
Ji Fan, like Xiao Hongdou, was equally shocked, incredulous, and suspected he had misheard.
"He killed those of the same Realm using Divine Ability, as easily as crushing an ant."
Tianyi seemed to see through her thoughts and murmured: "I also find it unbelievable, but this is what we witnessed with our own eyes. The Heavens bear witness; the facts are just as they are."
"Senior Brother... is Senior Brother that abnormal...?" Xiao Hongdou's mind was reeling, and she murmured in shock.
She had always known that Gu Qing was very powerful, that this background character was inhumanly strong, but she truly hadn't expected Gu Qing to be so terrifying.
Taking in heroines, taking in protagonists, killing protagonists... how did it feel like Gu Qing was the true protagonist of the Eternal Universe?
"Little Eight, come out and take your beating."
"My Senior Brother is not a background character at all."
"Revered Master, Little Eight doesn't know either."
The System Spirit, hidden deep in Xiao Hongdou's mind, said with a wronged expression.
It was as if if Xiao Hongdou cursed it again, it would cry for her to see.
Xiao Hongdou: ...This dog-like System is truly useless except for spoiling things.
Ji Fan suddenly felt a chill run through him, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
He hadn't forgotten that Lin Xuan and Gu Qing were irreconcilable.
Xiao Hongdou and Gu Qing were Senior Brother and Junior Sister, so they would definitely be fine. Perhaps they would even receive Gu Qing's blessings and soar to greatness.
As for him, Lin Xuan, they would rise and fall together.
Thinking of this, Ji Fan looked at Xiao Hongdou with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
It was truly unfair.
Xiao Hongdou received Lin Xuan's exclusive favor; any good treasures he had, he kept for Xiao Hongdou.
Only what Xiao Hongdou didn't need would then be his turn.
And Jinhua and Tianyi also doted on Xiao Hongdou in every way, treating her like their own younger sister.
That was already enough.
Xiao Hongdou was even Senior Brother and Junior Sister with the enemy, Gu Qing, and their relationship was profound.
How could this not make him jealous?
"You all leave!"
Lin Xuan was silent for a long time, a deep reluctance flashing in his eyes, and he said lightly.
If Tianyi and Jinhua continued to follow him, and were targeted by Gu Qing, it would only harm them both.
As for Xiao Hongdou... she was a traitor.
She was never his disciple to begin with.
He had forced her to stay.
After bickering with Xiao Hongdou for so many years, it was time to let her go now.
"What? You're telling me to leave?"
Xiao Hongdou forgot about scolding Little Eight and exclaimed.
"You can stay by my side too." Lin Xuan couldn't help but tease her.
"No, no, no, I'm leaving, I'm leaving right now."
Xiao Hongdou waved her hands repeatedly, her face filled with wild joy.
It wasn't easy.
She could finally leave Lin Xuan.
Although Lin Xuan was very good to her, always prioritizing her with good things.
But Xiao Hongdou knew that she not only had a grudge with Lin Xuan.
Actually, this wasn't a big deal.
Any grudges had faded with time.
The main thing was that her values and Lin Xuan's were incompatible.
Those whose Dao differs cannot plan together.
"Alas!" Lin Xuan sighed. Seeing Xiao Hongdou so excited she was disoriented, without a trace of reluctance, his heart couldn't help but ache in dull throbs.
He truly regarded Xiao Hongdou as a disciple.
His greatest joy every day was to tease Xiao Hongdou.
"Lin Xuan, take care of yourself. If you die, I won't be sad for you, and no one else will be sad for you either."
Xiao Hongdou finished speaking, then pulled Jinhua and Tianyi away.
She was eager to see Gu Qing, Su Qingyue, Liu Ruyan, and her other girlfriends.
"Is this concern for me? Or mockery?" Lin Xuan's mouth twitched.
Xiao Hongdou, this little villain, had a bit of conscience, but not much.
However... "Hongdou, ah, Hongdou, you are still a little too young. I will live very well."
"With Gu Qing's talent, he will probably leave the Eternal Universe very soon, heading to a vaster world to pursue the Dao. At that time, you and I can rekindle our Revered Master-disciple bond."
Lin Xuan chuckled softly.
Admitting defeat was embarrassing, but it didn't cost him his life.
He had the System, and he would eventually catch up to Gu Qing.
If he couldn't kill Gu Qing at the same Realm, then what if he was at a higher Realm than Gu Qing?
Lin Xuan regained his confidence.
He watched the three women leave the White Jade Dao Field.
It wasn't until the three women disappeared that Lin Xuan realized, what was Ji Fan doing following the three of them?
Lin Xuan's eyes instantly turned cold, and a disdainful curve appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Those who create their own evil will not live."
He knew that Ji Fan had always resented him, hating his unfairness and differential treatment.
However, regarding Ji Fan, Lin Xuan felt that he had never mistreated him.
Treasures, Cultivation Techniques, lecturing Ji Fan and resolving his doubts, protecting Ji Fan's growth—he had given everything he should, and done everything he should.
As for other things, if he wanted to give more to Xiao Hongdou, what did that have to do with Ji Fan?
What business was it of Ji Fan's that he was willing to be good to Xiao Hongdou?
A white-eyed wolf who was forever unsatisfied and ungrateful.
Lin Xuan was too lazy to care whether he lived or died.
