Chapter 611: Time to say goodbye
Translator: Chaos_, Radiant Editor: Chaos_
Time is cruel.
To cultivators, time could polish them. Time could also enable them to comprehend more laws and profound mysteries, allowing them to understand stronger Daos and eventually bring them to greater heights. But in the end, if they could not transcend, time would bring them closer to death!
"Jing Qiu." Xue Ying looked at the graceful figure wearing a light blue robe standing by the lake.
Even though she had her back facing him, Xue Ying could see the tears in her eyes.
"Xue Ying." The tears in the eyes of Jing Qiu disappeared. She forced a smile towards her husband.
"Tomorrow is the day that Sir Father-in-law reincarnate. Did you not do it once before and succeeded in awakening? It might be the same for father-in-law too. This reincarnation might even evolve his heart realm, allowing him to transcend in the future. Nothing is impossible." Xue Ying consoled his wife.
"Mn, I understand. But the probability of success is low." Jing Qiu look towards the lake. Her eyes were red: "As the eldest daughter, my father treats me like a treasure. He looked after me on every single occasion and had never trusted me to any servant. I still remembered when I was a child; he would always accompany me to sleep, feeding me and teaching me swordplay…"
"As he grew old and is nearing his death, he had even gone to the Lake Heart Island for me, risking his life to get a True God weapon for me. Every moment I look at this True God weapon, it would remind me of my father."
Jing Qiu looked at Xue Ying, "In this world, there aren't that many people who loved me so much that they will not hesitate to risk their lives for me. Other than you, perhaps there's only my father, yet he is about to reincarnate at this moment."
Xue Ying held onto his wife's hand, "You're a cultivator too and should know that we have gotten much from life. It is the same with Sir Father-in-law too. He has experienced much and should be satisfied with life."
"Mn, I understand." Though she said it outwardly, she still felt gloomy all the same.
...
On the second day,
People came one by one. Those people included Mo Xue's daughters and their husbands. Other than them, there were also some good friends of his. Of course, all his granddaughters and grandsons came visiting him too.
"Father."
"Father."
"Grandpa."
"Ancestor."
Dong Bo Yu and Qing Yao had come too.
Right now Dong Bo Yu had become much more reserved. There was even a violet-robed pretty woman by his side. Behind him, there were several youngsters, and some were shouting out Forefather Dong Bo Xue Ying on their mouths.
Xue Ying could not help but smile. He had never thought that after suffering from a setback, this son of his would venture out again. At that time, he had met a violet-robed girl–'Empress Wan He'–who was a stage one world Deity. After they married, Dong Bo Yu's combat power that had been stuck got 120,000 years suddenly rose.
Practically within a single day, he comprehended two grade one Deity Hearts–the 'Extremity Deity Heart' and 'Chaos Deity Heart'–to become a stage two World Deity. It was much faster than his sister, Qing Yao!
Xue Ying was surprised. Before this, his son had reached bottleneck in both Deity Hearts, yet never would he have imagined that his son could make a breakthrough in both deity hearts on the same day.
Dong Bo Yu and Empress Wan He had a daughter and son too, and they brought them countless descendants. It had only been 510,000 years since Xue Ying built his residence, yet he had a heap of descendants already.
"Ha ha ha, Qing Yao, you have become the disciple of brother Huo Cheng, but don't lose out to your little brother." Xue Ying laughed at his daughter.
"Hmph, be rest assured about this since his improvements should be credited to sister Wan He. Since his sudden improvement happen only after he together with sister Wan He. As an elder sister, I will definitely surpass him." Qing Yao replied as she walked along with that purple-robed woman.
Though Dong Bo Yu was introverted by nature, he was used to quarreling with his sister since their young. He could not help but retort back, "I think you need to find a partner before you can even think of surpassing me."
"Sister Wan He, you need to take good care of your man. You see, he dares to pour salt on his sister's wound." Qing Yao pouted.
The purple-robed Wan He had merely laughed by their side. She did not say much.
She had met Dong Bo Yu as she was traveling around the Deity World. Both of them gradually knew each other and, soon, their relationship grew deeper. Although she had restrained her aura in the beginning, it was later when they opened up to each other that she found out that her man had such frightening background.
"Xue Ying"
"Eternal Wind." Xue Ying saw Chi Qiu Bai and his wife coming.
"Both of you had come too?" Xue Ying smiled.
"Senior Mo Xue used to teach me. How could I not come?" Chi Qiu Bai replied. With his talent, even when his soul had split in two, Chi Qiu Bai could still comprehend a grade two True Meaning without guidance from any teacher. He had even suffered from agonizing torture when he was imprisoned in the Dark Abyss. When Howling Devil Cult Leader was practicing the "Blood Demon Scripture", many spirits more powerful than Chi Qiu Bai succumbed to him, yet Chi Qiu Bai could hold out till he became one of the last nine souls.
That terrible torture had become a huge tempering experience for him.
His determination to survive with his loved one brought Chi Qiu Bai's power to new heights rapidly. He became a Deity rapidly using his grade two Deity Heart before evolving it. After he resurrected, he only needed 80,000 years to become a World Deity and another 35,000 to become a stage two World Deity!
Even though he still couldn't be compared to Xue Ying, he was slightly weaker than other grade one True Meaning Transcendents. His achievement had even made Forefather Vicious Tyrant invite him to become his disciple. When Xue Ying chimed in, Chi Qiu Bai accepted the invitation without hesitation, becoming Forefather Vicious Tyrant's personal disciple in the end.
Forefather Vicious Tyrant felt great joy after that. He had even spoken to Chi Qiu Bai, "Eternal Wind, train well. If you need any secret techniques or treasures, do tell me directly."
Forefather Vicious Tyrant treatment of Chi Qiu Bai made Xue Ying happy.
After going through so many hardships, it was time for Chi Qiu Bai to shine! But let's not mention whether he could get out from the River of Time since it was uncertain if he could even become a grade four World Deity.
...
Many guests came over one by one. Each of them had some relationship with Monarch Mo Xue. Some were even his old subordinates. The entire gathering ended up with several hundred guests attending.
Finally, Monarch Mo Xue came out. He wore his usual thick black robe with a neat hair and mustache.
He looked at all his friends that came to bid him farewell: "Everyone!"
All those who were present turned silent and looked at him.
Monarch Mo Xue smiled: "Thank you, everyone, for coming. In this lifetime I have achieved many things–after being born into this world, I have fought hard to reach where I am today. I have set up a nation in the Deity World and even raised seven daughters till they all become World Deities!"
Jing Qiu, seventh Mei Yu and the other daughters of Monarch Mo Xue were looking at their father.
Even though he did not pamper the other younger daughters of his as much as his eldest daughter, Monarch Mo Xue still cared for all of them nonetheless. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to become World Deities.
"I have already experienced many things in my life, and have gotten many things. I am fully satisfied with what I have experienced." Monarch Mo Xue shared, "However, it's a pity that in the end, I will still be stuck in the River of Time without being able to break away from it. If I don't transcend, my true deity heart will only crumble eventually. I have lived long enough, and it is time for me to leave this world. Naturally, even if I have to leave, I still want to have one last fight before reincarnating."
"Well, I won't say anymore." Monarch Mo Xue gave his last smile before he began to disintegrate. His true deity heart also started scattering away.
Jing Qiu held onto Xue Ying's hand tightly; her body was even slightly trembling.
Xue Ying watched silently. Despite studying the Blood Demon Scripture before, his father-in-law could not evade this ending. He could only choose to gamble on the last and final hope–to reincarnate!
"Weng."
When the true deity heart crumbled apart, all remnants of the soul would disappear.
Xue Ying faintly watched as the law of the cosmos took away that last remnant of the soul. Monarch Mo Xue had entered reincarnation and might be in the belly of a mother.
'All the best.' Xue Ying silently gave his wish.
******
That was the life of a cultivator. The further one walked, the harder it would be in breaking through. Only by overcoming all difficulties would one achieve more. There had never been a case in which one could easily achieve something huge without doing much.
Time passed after the reincarnation of Monarch Mo Xue. A thousand years, two, three, thousand years and even ten thousand years passed by without news about Monarch Mo Xue. Xue Ying and the others understood that Monarch Mo Xue had failed in his reincarnation.
As a grade four World Deity, and with herself going through a life and death separation, Jing Qiu gradually accepted everything with the help of Xue Ying.
In the blink of an eye, it was already 690,000 years after Xue Ying constructed his residence, and 680,000 years since Monarch Mo Xue reincarnated.
"Dong Bo Xue Ying, I have finished refining the Sun Star Nucleus Stone." a voice passed through karma, sounding right beside Xue Ying's ears inside his cultivation room.
