"In that case, go back to the Green Ox Temple," Chen Luoyang ordered without saying much.
Yu Qingniu bowed to him. "Thank you, Supreme Venerable One, for saving me from the Nether Calamity."
"It's just for a while. You and Yan Mingkong are just the beginning," Chen Luoyang said calmly. "The Nether Lord won't let you go so easily."
Yu Qingniu said in a deep voice, "I will obey the Supreme Venerable One's orders and hope that you will give me some advice."
"Since you have made your choice, you don't have to worry about the Red Dust anymore," Chen Luoyang said. "Those who follow me will prosper."
Yu Qingniu replied, "Thank you, Supreme Venerable One."
Then, he turned into a purple cloud and disappeared in mid-air, returning to the Green Ox Temple.
Chen Luoyang walked alone in the void, measuring the Red Dust with his feet.
After a round, he returned to Luoyang City.
The magnificent city had been completed and stood majestically on the ground.
Chen Luoyang nodded slightly and stepped into the city.
As he entered the city, the vast and majestic city began to shake and rumble.
The huge city was uprooted and flew into the air.
Without a drop of soil or stone falling, the whole city floated into the clouds and turned into a celestial city suspended in mid-air.
The people nearby bowed and worshiped when they saw this.
Chen Luoyang arrived in the city and went to the palace in the center. He appeared directly in the main hall and sat down.
Alone in the hall, Chen Luoyang was silent.
In his mind, a copper plate floated in Silence. From time to time, mysterious characters and patterns would appear and disappear.
Chen Luoyang silently visualized all of this and tried to figure it out.
After thinking about some things, he collected his thoughts and began to reorganize his martial arts.
After ascending to the Martial God Realm, this step was actually carried out at all times.
The misty mist spread with Chen Luoyang as the center and continued to spread until it covered the entire Luoyang City.
And in the center of this misty mist, there was a graceful mysterious light that soared into the sky, as if it contained the answer to all the principles of the world.
Chen Luoyang pondered silently.
Everything that he had learned before was gradually merged into one, and all of it was concentrated in this Foolish Clear Scripture.
Ignorance and Clarity explained the myriad of things in the world, encompassing everything. A single thought could give birth to ten thousand laws, a single thought could destroy ten thousand laws. Countless concepts were born and destroyed here.
In Chen Luoyang's eyes, one side was an obscure mist, and the other was a bright radiance. The two seemed to have a clear boundary, but they perfectly blended with each other, forming a path between the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. There was no beginning in front, and no end in back, as if it was endless.
He gently closed his eyes, as if he was taking a nap.
Then, someone asked for an audience. "Greetings, Supreme Elder."
"Speak." Chen Luoyang did not open his eyes.
"Reporting to Supremacy, a guest from Xi He Jie has come to visit." Su Wei bowed and reported, "They said … Young Master Tian, Ling Qingqing, and the granddaughter of the Divine Land's Pill Empress, Ying Qingqing."
"Invite them in." Chen Luoyang nodded slightly, opened his eyes, and looked at Su Wei. "You must pay close attention to your daily cultivation, but remember, haste makes waste. Although you have the help of the Torch Dragon's slough, there are some basic things that cannot be rushed."
"Yes, Supreme Elder." Su Wei bowed respectfully, and then retreated to lead the guests into the main hall.
Two women walked in together.
One was familiar to Chen Luoyang, but also somewhat unfamiliar.
The other only existed in his impression. Strictly speaking, this was the second time he had seen the other party's true appearance.
"Fellow … Daoist Chen." The former "Ying Qingqing", now Young Master Tian, Ling Qingqing, was the first to speak. "… Thank you for your hospitality."
"No problem. As long as you are a friend, you can come to visit me at any time." Chen Luoyang looked at the other woman beside Ling Qingqing. "Is this the Pill Empress' long-lost granddaughter?"
The former "Young Master Tian", now the real Ying Qingqing, bowed to Chen Luoyang. "Greetings, Supreme Elder. I hope Supreme Elder will forgive me for my previous offense."
Chen Luoyang looked at her. "There are still gaps in your memory?"
Ying Qingqing looked a little sad. "Yes, I … I actually can't remember anything before I went to Xi He Jie. It was Sister Qingqing who told me a lot. Only then did I know that I originally belonged to the Secular World, the Divine Land.
Now that I am in this Secular World, some fragments of my memory are faintly discernible in my mind, but they are still incomplete. "
"You may gain more if you go to the Divine Land. Your family is also there." Chen Luoyang said and looked at Su Wei.
Su Wei nodded and made a 'please' gesture towards Ying Qingqing, "Miss Ying, this way please. I will help you arrange various matters for your return to the vast land of China under the Supreme Being's order."
Ying Qingqing looked at Young Master Tian Ling Qingqing with some desire and fear. "Sister Qingqing …"
Ling Qingqing nodded slightly. "Go."
Hearing this, Ying Qingqing felt a little relieved. She bowed to Chen Luoyang. "Thank you for your kindness, Supreme Elder."
After Ying Qingqing left with Su Wei, the hall fell into silence.
Chen Luoyang and Ling Qingqing looked at each other. For a moment, they were speechless and looked at each other.
After a while, Chen Luoyang was the first to break the silence. "Unlike her, your memory seems to have recovered."
Ling Qingqing sighed slightly. "Yes …"
After sighing, she looked at Chen Luoyang and said, "Your guess is right. The blood on my hands is no less than yours."
Chen Luoyang made a "please sit" gesture to her.
After Ling Qingqing sat down, she looked into the distance. "More than a thousand years ago, my eldest brother secretly returned to the Xihe World with serious injuries. On the one hand, he wanted to recuperate in peace. On the other hand, he hoped to divert the attention of the Supreme Elders of the other worlds. So he pretended to disappear and I took over Xihe World in his place."
The woman in white looked at Chen Luoyang. "The news about my eldest brother was highly confidential. At first, only I and my sister knew about it.
Since he disappeared in name, naturally, there was no successor. Although we are brother and sister, before I reached the Martial God Realm, there were many opponents and competitors in the same clan.
So, on the road to the top, I could only kill my way up until I finally sat on the throne. "
Ling Qingqing looked sad. "You are right. I am more cruel and merciless than you. Most of the people I killed were my own clan."
Chen Luoyang's expression was as calm as before. "Look at you now. Although you have recovered your previous memory, the effects of amnesia can't be erased. You are no longer who you used to be?"
Ling Qingqing shook her head gently. "There are indeed effects, but I am not Ying Qingqing."
Chen Luoyang understood.
To a certain extent, the decisive Young Master Tian and the "Ying Qingqing" in the mortal world might no longer exist.
Or it should be said that the current her was the combination of the minds of these two people.
After staring at her for a while, Chen Luoyang Slowly said, "If you want, you can still be yourself."
"But as you said, some things, forgotten doesn't mean they never happened." Ling Qingqing sighed softly.
Then, she looked at Chen Luoyang, her eyes like autumn water.
Some emotions appeared, and they couldn't be ignored.
Even if she had recovered her memories of Young Master Tian, it didn't mean she had forgotten the people and things of "Ying Qingqing".
Meeting Ling Qingqing's gaze, Chen Luoyang was silent.
Then, he said, "I have heard about the battle between your brother Ling Yang and Demon Venerable Meng Shan. I have to thank you for persuading Ling Yang.
I will never forget this favor. However, I am not a good match for you. You are a good girl, but we are not compatible. "
Ling Qingqing heard this and her eyes dimmed. "You have someone in your heart?"
Chen Luoyang said, "I don't trust many people. But even if you are no longer Ying Qingqing, I am still willing to trust you. But I don't want to hold you back."
Ling Qingqing sighed. "I … understand."
"If you have any difficulties in the future, you can look for me." Chen Luoyang said.
Ling Qingqing nodded. "I understand. Thank you."
Chen Luoyang changed the topic. "I haven't congratulated you for reaching the 23rd realm of the Martial Path, the Returning Origin Realm."
Ling Qingqing, who was in front of him, had successfully fused Young Master Tian's cultivation and strength with the sword will of the Divine Ming Sword. She had successfully advanced to the twenty-third realm, the same as her brother Heavenly Lord, the Demon Lord, the Dao Lord, the Underworld Lord, the Demon Lord, and the Heavenly Buddha.
The current Young Master Tian, without the word "young", was more appropriate. He had the might of the Six Realms Supreme Martial Artist.
Even in the Ancient God and Demon Era, he would be a top-notch expert. Other than the Three Venerables, no one dared to say they could easily defeat him.
"I just barely managed to take that step. I still need to stabilize myself." Ling Qingqing shook her head. "I can't compare to you. You have just reached the Martial God Realm and can already fight against the Returning Origin Realm. When you reach the Returning Origin Realm, it will be even more unimaginable."
Chen Luoyang said, "Everyone has their own fate. Just like how I obtained the Mysterious Sky Netherworld Pagoda and you obtained that sword."
Ling Qingqing sighed. "Yes."
"From the time I knew of my master's existence, he had already passed away." Chen Luoyang tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair. "Since Ling Qingqing is still alive, is it convenient for you to tell me what happened back then?"
Since Ling Qingqing was here, it was not just to send Ying Qingqing back to the Red Dust Divine Land. It was also not as simple as meeting Chen Luoyang.
She had a mission.
The relationship between Xihe and the Red Dust was delicate. She was the bridge.
She strived to minimize the conflict and let both sides cooperate.
It was about the Annihilation Palace that both sides were interested in.
"Back then, my brother and your master, the Demon Lord, had gone to look for the Annihilation Palace." Ling Qingqing said, "However, the final result was not ideal. My brother returned with serious injuries. According to him, your master, the Demon Lord, had a great harvest in the Annihilation Palace. I believe it was the prototype of the Mysterious Sky Netherworld Pagoda in your hands."
She said slowly, "However, your master seemed to be injured at the time, but my brother was not sure about the specific situation of your master.
Out of caution, he pretended to disappear to attract the attention of the rulers of the other realms to the Red Dust so that he could observe your master's reaction.
However, he did not expect that in the end, it was your master who fell first. "
"What was the reason for my master's injury?" Chen Luoyang asked.
"My brother was not very sure." Ling Qingqing shook her head gently. "However, there was actually another person who went to the Annihilation Palace."
She looked at Chen Luoyang. "Your master, the disciple of the Demon Lord before you, Yue Donghuang."
