Within the Blade Emperor City, Dongbo Xue Ying was still guiding the talented cultivators who came to seek his guidance.
"The Unity realm, as the name suggests, is to fuse everything into one, turning into 'one'. This' one 'is the pinnacle. It is like the extreme point, the origin! What you need to do now, in simpler words, is to walk towards the extreme! " Dongbo Xue Ying looked at the scaled tailed female cultivator in front of him and chuckled, "Don't think about 'surpassing the pinnacle'. Your current realm is still too low, so don't bite off more than you can chew."
"First, pursue the pinnacle. You have to reach the fifth level Star Pagoda strength before you are qualified to surpass the pinnacle." Dongbo Xue Ying explained. He then casually demonstrated, "You see, your techniques can be displayed to the pinnacle. For instance, this …"
The eyes of this female cultivator brightened as she watched.
She was ranked in the top 100 during the preliminary selections. She had never sought guidance from Dongbo Xue Ying since she felt that a Unity realm expert was not worth it. And after seeing Xing Huo Xun Yi's performance, she came to seek guidance from him. She discovered that Dongbo Xue Ying's guidance on the 'slaughter' aspect might be simple, but it pointed to the essence. The more profound a cultivator was, the more concise and direct his guidance would be.
"Dongbo, hurry up and come out." A voice sounded by the ears of Dongbo Xue Ying.
Dongbo Xue Ying was stunned.
Inquisitive Sky Hall Master?
"Let's stop here for now. I still have something to do and will be leaving first." Dongbo Xue Ying stood up.
"Yes." The female cultivator did not dare to say much. She obediently acknowledged.
Dongbo Xue Ying then immediately walked out of the cavern-dwelling.
Outside the cavern-dwelling.
Dongbo Xue Ying saw Inquisitive Sky Hall Master. Inquisitive Sky Hall Master transmitted: "Go, Old Ancestor has asked you to hurry back to the Great Void Heaven Temple. I will bring you over now."
"So urgent?" Dongbo Xue Ying was startled.
This was still the Star Convention!
"Go." Dongbo Xue Ying followed them obediently. He had a lot of time to guide those genius cultivators. After all, there were only two hundred people who passed the preliminaries, and it would be a long time before one of them came to him for guidance.
*****
The two of them left the Saber Imperial City and followed the Inquisitive Sky Hall Master through an ultra-long distance teleportation. They arrived at the Great Void Heaven Temple directly.
Great Void Heaven Temple.
In Forefather Tian Yu's residence, he summoned Dongbo Xue Ying alone.
"How strange. The Star Convention hasn't ended yet, yet you've summoned me back?" Dongbo Xue Ying was puzzled as he walked into the courtyard of Forefather Tian Yu's residence. Along the way, none of the attendants stopped him. Soon, he arrived at a towering tree. The hunchbacked old man, 'Forefather Tian Yu', was sitting cross-legged under the tree.
"Old Ancestor." Dongbo Xue Ying bowed respectfully.
Forefather Tian Yu looked at Dongbo Xue Ying. After a moment of silence, he said, "There's something I need to tell you. Your master, Gu Qi, is already dead."
Dongbo Xue Ying was startled as he stood there blankly.
His mind was in a state of shock.
His master, Gu Qi, is dead?
"How, how …" Dongbo Xue Ying couldn't help but want to ask.
"He was killed by the Sacred Master. I believe that very soon, the upper echelons of the various Sacred Lands will spread this news." Forefather Tian Yu said.
At this moment, countless distracting thoughts appeared in Dongbo Xue Ying's mind.
In terms of feelings, back then, when his father, mother, younger brother, Uncle Zong, and Uncle Tong died, that was truly painful. Back then, when his wife, Jing Qiu's soul was on the verge of dissipating, he felt that the entire world had lost its color … In his heart, Dongbo Xue Ying's feelings towards his master, whom he had never truly met or had a proper conversation with, were much weaker.
But he still respected this master a lot.
Strictly speaking, the only time he truly chatted with his master, Gu Qi, was when he inherited the inheritance in his hometown cosmos. That time, the incarnation of his master remained there.
At that time, the incomparably huge incarnation of the Cosmos God spoke a whole bunch of things.
"Who would have thought that I, Gu Qi, would actually have a disciple."
"The feeling of having a disciple is really weird."
"This is also my first time accepting a disciple, and I don't know how to teach a disciple."
"Until now, you haven't even greeted me as your master, right? Even though I didn't teach you much, and the "Walker's Hidden Secret" wasn't created by me, I have still imparted the Dao to you. I have also imparted a protective treasure to you. "
That time, the huge incarnation of the Cosmos God looked at his disciple.
"Disciple Dongbo Xue Ying, greets Master." Dongbo Xue Ying acknowledged him as his master.
The huge incarnation of the Cosmos God laughed at that time.
Hence …
On the path of cultivation, Dongbo Xue Ying had an additional master called Gu Qi. He had never seen his true body before.
And Gu Qi finally had a disciple. He was also his only disciple.
Previously, when he fought with Lei Yan, his name had spread across the five great sacred worlds. His teacher Gu Qi knew about it too. He even knew that Xue Ying cultivated both the Imperial Dragon inheritance and Cinnabar inheritance through the scenes of the battle. He had even sent over the materials required to cultivate these two inheritances.
That time, he only left behind a recording.
"Haha, the only disciple of I, Gu Qi, is so formidable. I really wish to flaunt it in front of the other old fellows. It's a pity that you are my disciple, and this matter has to be kept a secret. It isn't suitable for me to meet you. Once this trouble is over, we, teacher and disciple, will meet again and drink a few cups of wine. Cultivate properly, and don't slack off! Alright, I won't say anymore. "
That recording was simple.
Dongbo Xue Ying had once thought that when he became stronger, and when there was no longer a need to keep his identity as Gu Qi's disciple a secret, he would pay a visit to his teacher and have a good chat with him.
…
Dongbo Xue Ying stood there. He felt terrible in his heart. He could feel that his teacher Gu Qi was truly concerned about him. He was even afraid that Dongbo Xue Ying would be implicated, and had kept their teacher-disciple relationship a secret.
This world was vast and boundless.
But how many of them truly loved him from the bottom of their hearts and treated him as a relative?
But now, one of them was gone!
"Ai."
Forefather Tian Yu sighed too.
Cosmos Gods. Since the primitive Ancient Sacred World until now, only a few Cosmos Gods had emerged. Even though some had died, the fall of every single Cosmos God was a world-shaking event. Forefather Tian Yu might be stronger than Gu Qi, but he was merely at the third level. Over a long period, the two were good friends. Now that Gu Qi had died, he felt sorrowful.
"Weng." Forefather Tian Yu flipped his hand, causing a piece of golden square seal to appear.
"Dongbo Xue Ying." Forefather Tian Yu said, "Your teacher should know that he has truly offended Sacred Master. Given the temperament of Sacred Master, it is impossible for him to let this matter rest. Even though he was thinking of ways to preserve his life, it would be hard for him to survive if Sacred Master went crazy. Thus, he left all his treasures with his teacher, Void Primogenitor. Even if he died, he would not let Sacred Master benefit from it. "
"After having you as his only disciple, he left behind an order that if he died, you would inherit all his treasures."
"Void Primogenitor sent it over."
"And now, it is yours." Forefather Tian Yu said.
Dongbo Xue Ying looked at that piece of golden square seal in the hand of Forefather Tian Yu. He felt terrible in his heart. His teacher Gu Qi had clearly treated him as a relative by leaving the treasures to him.
"This shouldn't be the case."
Dongbo Xue Ying shook his head, "This shouldn't be the case. That time, Teacher had been fleeing for his life and drifting in the primal chaos void. At that time, he did not have the protection of Wu Zu. He could escape for a long period by himself, and even Sacred Master could not kill him! With the help of Wu Zu, why did he die instead? "
