Qing Xuan's heart was filled with anxiety as he flew through the vast Negative Space!
He had been out for more than two hundred years. Just over ten years ago, he made an important decision. He did not consider returning, but continued to fly!
In his original plan, he would need to return after flying for nearly two hundred years. He would return to Zhou Xian to meet up with the Sword Lunatic. The two of them had come out together, so they had to return together. This was something he had always insisted on! Even if they were once enemies, he was not willing to abandon his companions who had been with him for hundreds of years!
However, some things were easier said than done. Even if he had set a time limit of three hundred years, it seemed like he had overestimated himself.
He had already flown out of the route that the two of them had planned! It only took him twenty years to reach the end of the route. The rest of the time was to go deeper, deeper, and deeper!
So deep that the risk of his return journey was no less than the risk of going forward!
He had already lost his way! However, there was one thing that he was certain of, and that was that the general direction they were heading in was correct. They would definitely not reach the vicinity of Qing Kong, but overall, even though there were deviations, they would definitely be getting closer and closer to Qing Kong.
He had no choice but to give up on his promise with the Swordsman. With his current situation, there was no other way for him to go!
Traveling alone was an arduous journey. In the vast Negative Space, there were traps and accidents everywhere. Some were from the void beasts, some were from humans. Of course, most of them were from the Negative Space's curved surface!
He had no choice but to come out of the main world every few years to compare the Positive and Negative Space to make sure that his direction was not too far off! His ability to do so was not only due to the Three Clear Orthodoxies' comprehensive strength, but also due to his own efforts!
Ever since he became a Nascent Soul, he had been trying his best to strengthen a Dao Realm — the Dao Realm of Space! This was to prepare for a long journey. That unreliable Swordsman would probably not care. If the two of them flew together, that guy would definitely pass the responsibility of leading the way to him. Then, he would just enjoy the scenery and complain about it.
He could only do it himself. Hence, his preparations for the return journey were many times more meticulous than the unreliable Swordsman! This was also why he had persevered until now. Although he had long deviated from the course, there was no fundamental error in the general direction!
He had broken his promise, but he believed that the Swordsman would understand. If that Swordsman was in his shoes, he would have already made up his mind to walk down this path! He knew that grandson very well!
What supported him in making such a decision was his true sense as a cultivator! As a True Monarch, he had a premonition that changes would happen in the near future. If he went back now, he would not be able to reach either end! In this turbulent era, he didn't want to be a bystander. He wanted to participate!
Just like Swordsman, his judgement was based on Qing Kong's!
That's right, in the Azure Sky!
The multiple-choice question was very simple for him. He couldn't help much with Zhou Xian. There were countless great cultivators and True Monarchs there. Even if his strength was outstanding, how many people could he be a match for?
In the same way, he didn't need to worry about the Fifth Ring. That was the core of their power. They were the plundering power that had dominated the universe for tens of thousands of years. If even they were attacked, he could only say that the Fifth Ring was fated to face this calamity. He couldn't help either!
The only person he could help was Qing Kong! Because he knew that Qing Kong's cultivator strength couldn't be compared to the Fifth Ring. It was just a place to live out the rest of his life. Even if the Fifth Ring could provide some support, its strength would be very limited!
Because the one who had caused the infamy for tens of thousands of years wasn't Qing Kong, but the Fifth Ring!
His individual strength couldn't be of much use in the main battlefield, but it might not be the case in the secondary battlefield!
This was the conclusion the two of them had reached after chatting for several days. No matter how the Heaven's Choice Continent was played, there was one thing: Zhou Xian, Five Rings, Qing Kong, none of them would be able to escape. They would all be under the enemy's attack. The only difference was who would attack!
But they could only return to Qing Kong. If there was time, they would see if they could send out a warning!
They had guessed countless times that the Heaven's Choice Continent might have other tricks up their sleeves. They were also guessing how the Fifth Ring Sect would respond to this? But guessing wouldn't solve the problem! The distance was too far, so far that the Fifth Ring Sect couldn't monitor the Heaven's Choice Continent! Even if they did monitor them, how would they send back the news?
No matter how stupid the Heaven's Choice Continent was, they would know to have a clear target before attacking. How would they be able to run ahead of them?
The best way was to set up a warning system in the surrounding space of the Fifth Ring Sect. This would also achieve the purpose of warning!
This was a very troublesome problem. With the Fifth Ring Sect's tradition, they would have attacked long ago. Why would they have to passively defend?
But reality proved that they couldn't attack forever! There were two key factors that made the Fifth Ring Sect unable to take the initiative to attack. One was the extremely long distance, and the second was the enormous size of the Heaven's Choice Continent. When you didn't attack, the Heaven's Choice Continent was still loose. But as long as you took the initiative to attack, the Heaven's Choice Continent would immediately become a huge monster. They would also sink into the sea of cultivators and be unable to extricate themselves.
It was very passive, but there was nothing they could do!
The effect of an individual in the waves of the universe was still too limited! In any case, he couldn't think of any way to solve this problem. He could only use his body to fill in the gap. He also believed in the Fifth Ring Sect's ability and left the rest to Heaven's Will.
He just didn't know how far that Swordsman would go if he was here.
He had never been to the Heaven's Choice Continent, but that didn't mean he didn't understand it. Whether it was the memories from the Three Pure Ones or the understanding from Taixuan, he knew the terrifying number of Heaven's Choice Continent cultivators!
It was equivalent to gathering all the worlds of the Origin World together. Just thinking about it was terrifying!
He was somewhat regretting it! He shouldn't have come out! You went out for a stroll when the big show was going on. You deserved to be replaced by someone else!
He was somewhat suspicious. Did that grandson know that a good show was about to start, so he purposely kicked him further away?
In this place where there was no village ahead and no shop behind, the lonely Qing Xuan was flying by himself!
He didn't talk to himself often when he needed to to maintain a certain level of language ability! Even if it was a cultivator, if they didn't speak for two hundred years, their language ability would fade!
Not only language, but also thinking! He had to constantly deduce various kinds of complicated martial arts in his mind to maintain his brain's activity!
In the void of the universe, even if there were no astronomical phenomena, even if it was eternally peaceful, when you flew by yourself for hundreds of years, your eyes, ears, and brain would slowly fall into an eternal silence! In the end, you would become a part of the universe, no longer thinking, and become dull …
This was a very common symptom in the Cultivation World. It was called the Emptiness Syndrome!
He secretly told himself that if he could safely survive this calamity, it would be time to find one or a few pets!
His mouth must be smelly! His hands must be cheap! His heart must be bad!
En, wasn't this the portrayal of that Swordsman?
