"Father Niu, are you alright?" Shen Ying asked.
"Mm." Lonemoon nodded. "I won't die." Although his immortal bones were formed, he had used up all his immortal Qi in order to withstand the 82nd bolt of lightning. Now that he had relaxed, he realized that his body was already at the end of its tether. Just a little more and his newly formed immortal bones would have broken. Yet there was no immortal Qi in this world. Although he was already a quasi-immortal, he could not even recover.
"Chef, do you have a way?" Shen Ying turned to look at the person behind her, knowing that he was putting up a front.
Yi Qing nodded. "I'll help him repair his meridians first."
With that said, he sat down directly behind Lonemoon and began to activate his spirit Qi. The golden light around his body slowly enveloped the person in front of him. In a short while, Lonemoon looked much better. The wounds on his body from the lightning also began to heal slowly.
But spirit Qi was ultimately not as good as immortal Qi. Lonemoon's wounds were still recovering very slowly. Shen Ying sat by his side for a full three hours before Yi Qing opened his eyes. But Father Niu was still sitting cross-legged, adjusting his breathing.
"He's healed?"
Yi Qing shook his head. "I can only help him heal the wounds on the surface. Internally …" Spirit Qi was of little use. "He has to ascend as soon as possible, or else …"
He did not continue. The answer was obvious. If he did not ascend, he would have to become a traveling immortal.
Shen Ying frowned, then pulled open the door and said, "Little Green, bring the one who struck lightning in."
"Yes, Sect Master," Si Yu answered. The banging sounds outside the door finally stopped. In the next moment, Si Yu dragged the swollen immortal into the door and casually threw him on the ground.
The immortal rolled twice before coming to a stop.
Shen Ying picked up a fruit from the table and took a bite. After a while, she said, "Begin."
The immortal hesitated. Begin what? He subconsciously looked up and saw Shen Ying in front of him. His body trembled uncontrollably. Instantly, he felt the wounds on his body hurt even more. All his stubbornness was gone. He hurriedly said, "I'll speak … I'll speak."
He was an immortal after all. In just a few short breaths, his wounds had already begun to heal. He took a deep breath, then slowly said, "I … I'm just a small immortal guarding the Qing Tong Immortal Abode. I … I didn't want to break someone's immortal bone, I was just following orders, I had no choice. "
"Orders?" Yi Qing's expression turned cold. "We have never offended the immortals of the Upper Realm. Whose orders are you taking? Why would you do such a thing? "
"I … I'm following the Manor Lord's orders." He weakly raised his head to look at the two of them. After a moment of silence, he continued, "My master is still Stygian Immortal Xun Li of the Qing Tong Immortal Abode. It was his order not to allow the people of this world to ascend. I'm just a puny Earth Immortal, I can only follow orders. "
"Why did he do that?" Yi Qing asked in a low voice.
The immortal was stunned for a moment, and a hint of panic flashed across his eyes. He immediately replied, "I … I don't know either. This small world originally belonged to His Lord. I don't know why he did this to it. "
"What do you mean this world belongs to him?" Yi Qing frowned. "What do you mean?"
"This world was originally created by His Lord." He looked at the crowd with some fear and continued, "You might not know because you are in it, but compared to the other three thousand worlds, the Azure World is indeed very small. Years ago, Immortal Emperor Ge You bestowed an immortal meridian to His Lord. His Lord used this immortal meridian to create a space and attract thousands of living beings to form the Azure World. So this world originally … originally belonged to His Lord. "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
They had never thought that the entire Azure World was actually created by immortals of the Upper Realm.
"I advise you … to let me go," the immortal said tentatively. "I'm just an Earth Immortal, but His Lord is a Stygian Immortal. The entire Upper Azure World is in his hands. If we anger him …"
"…" The crowd fell silent. No one spoke. They had been working hard to cultivate, all for the sake of ascending to become immortals. Now, someone was telling them that no matter how hard they worked, they could not become immortals. What's more, the entire world was created by someone else. How could they accept this?
"What's the Day of Re-Harvest?" Shen Ying suddenly asked, breaking the silence.
The Immortal's face turned pale in an instant. As if he had not expected her to ask this, he could not even hide the panic in his eyes. "This … Re-Harvest …" He stammered for a long time, but could not finish his sentence.
Shen Ying's eyes turned cold. She put down the half-eaten fruit in her hand and said, "Since your Lord is so powerful, why doesn't he let everyone ascend? He even specially asked you to guard the Heavenly Gate. What is he afraid of? "
"Nonsense!" He shouted, trying to cover something up. "Master, why would you be afraid of a small world?"
"If he's not afraid, why are you panicking?" Shen Ying tilted her head and continued, "Let me guess. Your Lord has been an immortal for a long time, right? He's worried that after these people ascend to immortality, one or two of them might be as strong as him, or even … more powerful than him. If these people are not careful, they might remember where they came from. If they argue with him, it will be hard to explain. So in for a penny, in for a pound. He might as well not let the people of this world ascend. That way, this world will always be his, right? "
"You … you …" The man's eyes widened. The panic in his eyes intensified, as if he did not know how to refute her. After a long while, he said, "Don't spout nonsense. My Lord is not someone who is intolerant."
"Intolerant … that's even worse." Shen Ying's eyes narrowed into slits. "If that's not the reason, then what is his motive?"
"…"
"Speak! The Day of Re-Harvest. What do you want? "She stood up.
The man's face was completely pale. His eyes were filled with guilt, but he did not answer, as if he was afraid of something.
Shen Ying frowned. She could not be bothered to argue with him. She waved her hand and said, "Little Green, continue."
"Yes, Sect Master!" Si Yu immediately stepped forward and grabbed the man's collar.
"What … what do you want?" The man's eyes widened. He wanted to dodge, but found that he was already surrounded by more than ten girls. "I'm warning you, I … I'm an immortal … No … Stop!"
Si Yu was just about to drag him out when suddenly, a golden light shone from outside. It swept across the entire Upper Azure World and a faint sound came from the horizon. The sound was not loud, but it sounded like it was ringing in everyone's ears at the same time.
There was a huge aura coming from all directions. Everyone in the house felt their hearts palpitate. Their breathing quickened.
"They're here!" The immortal's frightened expression changed. He suddenly laughed maniacally. "Hahahahaha … The Day of Re-Harvest has begun. That's great! It's finally begun. "
Shen Ying frowned and led the group out. The originally blue sky was suddenly filled with multi-colored light. The light was so bright that the ground was instantly illuminated. Wherever the light landed, the trees seemed to be nourished by something and began to grow at a crazy speed. Even the spirit herbs on the ground in Invincible Sect had blossomed into a field of beautiful purple and red flowers.
"Little Big Sister …" Radish suddenly jumped up the mountain, carrying a large handful of dandelions. "This light is so strange. Radish feels like its whole body is filled with Spirit Qi."
Shen Ying did not answer. She only looked up at the sky. More than ten figures flew out from the light and headed towards different parts of the Upper Azure World.
"Hahahaha … Once the immortals who are waiting to be cleaned up arrive, all of you will die!" The person who was still being dragged by Si Yu laughed maniacally.
"Cleaned up?" Yi Qing's expression darkened. "What do you mean by cleaned up? Are those people immortals too?"
"That's right. They're here to send you into Samsara." He laughed coldly. "This world is about to be cleaned up."
Everyone's eyes widened in shock. They want to … destroy the world?
The man laughed even more wildly. He glanced at everyone, his face full of glee. "You ignorant mortals, none of you can escape. All of you will …"
Before he could finish, Shen Ying kicked him, knocking him unconscious. "I hate it when people talk nonsense."
