The atmosphere in the empty hall was a little solemn.

The old woman’s cloudy eyes became extremely clear at this moment, as if she had become many years younger in an instant. Many memories of her youth emerged in her mind, including the master’s earnest teachings, the master’s instructions and hopes… She thought it would be difficult to wait for that day in this lifetime, but she never expected it to appear so abruptly.

She seemed to see Ling Qingzhu’s confusion, and after a moment’s hesitation, she slowly said, “Master Fu Zu is indeed from the outside world. He is not from our world. Although this news is obscure, our Jiutian Taiqing Palace is quite special… The ancestor who created the Taishang Palace has a special relationship with Master Fu Zu. Therefore, we are able to inherit many secrets.”

“I didn’t expect that after so many years, someone from outside the realm would step into this world again… Since that person has been recognized by the ancestral stone, he must be from the same world as Master Fu Zu.”

There was a pause.

She continued, “The Supreme Sensing Technique you practiced originated from Fu Zu, in order to sense the location of the Supreme… and the so-called Supreme should be what they call the Embryo of the Plane. I’m not very clear about this news, but your master should know something about it.”

“As for the use of the Embryo of the Plane, I don’t know either, but according to the ancestral teachings, if you want to save this world, you must comprehend the Supreme Power, or even find it!”

“Save this world? Elder, has something happened in our world?!” Ling Qingzhu’s cold face showed some doubts and he asked.

“I shouldn’t be telling you this right now, but since you’ve met that adult, you must have a connection with him, just like the ancestor who founded the Taishang Palace… She also followed Fu Zu until he saved this world.” The old woman sighed and spoke slowly.

“Tens of thousands of years ago, this world had a war that engulfed the heavens and the earth. That war affected the entire world, so it was also called the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth. No one could escape, no matter if they were strong or weak, as long as they were living beings in this world, they would be affected. The culprit who started this war was the alien demons. No one knew where they came from. All we knew was that they were bloodthirsty and wanted to completely enslave all the living beings in our world.”

“For this reason, the two sides fought a great battle. In the end, Fu Zu burned his reincarnation and sacrificed himself to seal the emperor of the alien demons in the cracks outside the world, saving this world… and countless years have passed since that great catastrophe. No one knows whether the next great catastrophe will come.”

“The Demon King was only sealed, not killed. If he escapes, this world will suffer disaster again, unless another existence like Master Fu Zu appears…”

After saying that, the old woman looked at Ling Qingzhu with burning eyes. She looked a little excited, a little worried, and looked at Ling Qingzhu with extremely complicated emotions. She was not sure whether Ling Qingzhu could make that adult from outside the world recognize this world. If the other party was unwilling to help this world, then where should this world go?

“Elder, Qingzhu knows what to do.” Upon hearing this, Ling Qingzhu’s amber eyes flickered slightly. The confusion in her heart was completely resolved as the other party told her story, and she also understood how she should get along with Yao Yan next.

“There’s no need to force yourself, just let nature take its course~” The old woman didn’t want to put too much pressure on Ling Qingzhu. After all, the responsibility of saving this world was too great, far too great for the girl in front of her to bear.

“Qingzhu didn’t force herself. Just as the elder said, since we have met, it is fate… Qingzhu can also try what the ancestors of Taishang Palace could do.” Ling Qingzhu’s beautiful eyes regained their coldness and calmness. She spoke softly, with a stubbornness and strength that was unique to her.

“It’s a pity that your master is in seclusion. If she had come out, this responsibility would not fall on you.” The old woman sighed softly. Since that person appeared in Jiutian Taiqing Palace and came back with Ling Qingzhu, there was no way she could ignore him.

“The elder also said that when the great catastrophe of heaven and earth comes, no one can stay out of it. In this case, Qingzhu is also willing to do his part for this world.” Ling Qingzhu looked at the old woman calmly without a trace of reluctance.

It’s not that she cares about the world, but if all this is unavoidable, she would rather take the initiative to stand up instead of hiding. At least in this way, she doesn’t need to feel guilty towards anyone.

The old woman’s eyes became more and more gentle as she looked at Ling Qingzhu.

“Elder, there is one thing I don’t understand.” Ling Qingzhu pondered for a moment and asked, “How can I teach others the Supreme Induction Technique? That former… Master, he wants to practice the Supreme Induction Technique, but I don’t know how to teach him.”

This unique technique was something she had learned since she was a child. It was as if a technique suddenly appeared in her mind and she knew how to operate it. However, she didn’t know how to teach it to others.

“…If you want to teach the Supreme Sensing Technique to others, besides implanting it at birth, it can only be taught through dual cultivation.” The old woman was silent for a while and spoke slowly.

When Ling Qingzhu heard this, her cold eyes froze for an instant, and her whole body seemed to be struck by lightning. Her calm state of mind could no longer hold, and was shattered by just one sentence. Even though she didn’t care about anything on weekdays, how could she be indifferent when it came to something concerning her innocence?

She is just a young girl now, and is far from being as calm as her teacher, who can put the world behind her and maintain a pure state of mind.

The old woman looked at the stunned girl and sighed in her heart. She didn’t say anything else. How to choose was a question that could only be left to Ling Qingzhu herself. After all, such things could not be forced.

It is only possible if Ling Qingzhu herself is willing.

……

A courtyard in the lake.

Yao Yan and the Ancestral Stone Spirit ‘Yan’ also talked about the Supreme Induction Technique. The tone of the Ancestral Stone Spirit ‘Yan’ became a little frivolous and playful, as if he suddenly thought of something, and the old man’s figure that floated out became a little nonsensical: “Sir, are you sure you want to learn the Supreme Induction Technique?”

“Is it not possible?” Yao Yan asked back while looking at the formation book after hearing this.

“Of course you can, but if you want to teach this technique, unless it’s implanted by someone else at birth, you can only comprehend it through dual cultivation.” The ancestral stone spirit ‘Yan’ chuckled and said in a low voice.

The ancestor of the Tai Shang Palace obtained the Tai Shang Induction Technique from Fu Zu through dual cultivation. If Yao Yan wants to obtain this method, he can only do so by dual cultivation with a woman from the Jiutian Taiqing Palace. Since the palace master is in seclusion, the only choice is obviously Ling Qingzhu.

“Dual cultivation?” Yao Yan raised his brows slightly, and then Ling Qingzhu’s beautiful face appeared in his mind, and he felt inexplicably expectant.

Such an icy beauty could easily arouse a man’s desire to conquer her, especially to see if she would maintain her usual coldness under such circumstances… However, it seemed like a waste of talent to pull her from the demon realm just for such a small matter.

“That’s right. If you want to practice this method, you have to let the real body come here and practice with the woman who practices the Supreme Induction Technique in the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace.” The ancestral stone spirit ‘Yan’ said calmly, with a little encouragement in his tone. After all, if Yao Yan’s real body can be brought here, the trouble with the alien demon can be solved. And the price to pay is also insignificant… At least in the eyes of the ancestral stone spirit ‘Yan’, it is really nothing, not to mention following a strong man like Yao Yan.

“This martial art is really not orthodox.” Yao Yan chuckled softly, and at the same time was a little curious about Ling Qingzhu’s choice.

Yao Yan didn’t have to wait too long.

That night.

After Ling Qingzhu took care of Jiang Yinyin until she fell asleep, she knocked on Yao Yan’s door.

“Come in~”

As a familiar voice came from inside the house, Ling Qingzhu pursed her lips, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and finally she chose to push the door and go in. The furniture in the house seemed to have never been moved. The handsome young man who had been with her for some time was sitting at the table studying a book on formations. As she entered the room, he slowly raised his head and looked into her eyes.

Perhaps it was because she had learned the truth, but now facing the person in front of her, it was difficult for her to remain calm. Unspeakable feelings were running through her heart, just like making a choice. You knew it was the right thing to do, but your heart was resisting… feeling awkward and helpless.

When she faced the person in front of her, her eyes became evasive, no longer as cold and calm as before.

Yao Yan was also slightly stunned. He was somewhat amazed by Ling Qingzhu tonight. She was indeed the most beautiful girl chosen by Tianxuan Continent. Bathed in the moonlight, her slightly made-up appearance was even more stunning. She was like a fairy in Guanghan Palace, so beautiful that it seemed unreal.

Coupled with the touch of awkwardness and uneasiness that never appeared in normal days, it added a touch of touching feeling and aroused people’s heart.

“Yinyin is asleep.” Perhaps because she felt it was not good to keep silent, Ling Qingzhu took a deep breath, suppressed her inner uneasiness and awkwardness, and spoke calmly.

“Yes, thank you~” Yao Yan nodded slightly, then waved his hand to put the ancient book into the space, looked at the beautiful woman who came into the room, and smiled softly: “It seems that your elder has told you about the matter, what do you think?”

He didn’t feel awkward at all. It was just dual cultivation and he was not a young man.

“Senior, have you already known about the dual…dual cultivation?” Ling Qingzhu’s amber eyes blinked slightly, and her voice contained a slight tremor.

“I was also surprised when I heard what the Ancestral Stone Spirit said at noon. I didn’t expect that Fu Zu would leave behind such an unorthodox technique.” Yao Yan nodded and smiled softly, “You don’t need to be nervous. If you don’t want to do this, I won’t force you.”

In fact, he felt that Ling Qingzhu’s master was more suitable, both in terms of cultivation and understanding of the Supreme Induction Technique… Unfortunately, the other party was undergoing the reincarnation tribulation and he could not help.

“Qingzhu is not unwilling, it’s just that it happened suddenly and it’s a little hard for her to accept.” Ling Qingzhu pondered for a moment and said slowly. She didn’t know what she was thinking now. Reason made her step into this room, but emotion made her resist.

“Because we have only known each other for a short time and have no feelings for each other, this matter is indeed a bit abrupt.” Yao Yan nodded, said something to comfort him, and then said: “Have you ever heard of the word Taoist companion?”

Ling Qingzhu shook her head slightly, not understanding what he meant.

“In our world, there is a word that specifically describes this kind of relationship, and that is ‘Dao Lv’, which means a companion or partner who practices together and pursues the great way together… When you practice to a certain level, you need the company of someone of the same level so that you can go further.” Yao Yan said softly without blushing or beating his heart.

“But my cultivation…”

“I’m optimistic about your future.” Yao Yan looked at Ling Qingzhu and said slowly.

“Senior doesn’t seem to object to this matter…” Ling Qingzhu was silent for a while before speaking softly.

“Because the Supreme Induction Technique is indeed useful to me. Of course, the choice is yours. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you. What I need is a companion who can go with me, not a female companion for a one-night stand.” Yao Yan was calm and composed, with a kind of indifference that transcended the world, as if he had seen through the world.

If Cai Lin and Gu Xun’er were here, they would probably say that Yao Yan was lying again, because every time he lied, he was always so serious and there was no sign of fooling people. In addition, his extremely deceptive appearance and temperament made it difficult for the deceived people not to be fooled.

“A companion who will walk together…” Ling Qingzhu’s beautiful eyes moved slightly, and the resistance in her heart seemed to dissipate a little with these words. If she could find someone like Yao Yan who is comparable to Fu Zu as a companion on the path of cultivation, then why not?
She also longed for the great path in her heart and wanted to know what the end of the path of cultivation was.

“Thank you for your guidance, senior. Qingzhu understands.” Ling Qingzhu bowed slightly to Yao Yan and said softly.

“Don’t thank me. Even if I don’t tell you about this, you will naturally understand it when you have a higher level of cultivation in the future. Just like your teacher, he is now trapped in the inner demon of reincarnation. If he wants to forget love, he must first understand what love is. Blindly avoiding it will only make the inner demon stronger in the future… The path you take is almost the same as your master. Now, you might as well try to understand what love is, such as falling in love with someone in your heart~” Yao Yan continued to teach.

In fact, it is very simple to change. That is to change the practice system. This is the case with Ling Qingzhu in the original novel. She directly switched from the Qi practice system to spiritual power practice and broke free from the shackles of reincarnation.

Yao Yan’s deception is a bit like bullying the ignorant girl who doesn’t know the ins and outs of the world.

Love is not as easy as Yao Yan said. Once you really fall in love, you can’t get rid of it unless you die…

“Falling in love with someone…Senior, are you talking about yourself?” Ling Qingzhu was very intelligent. After pondering for a moment, she glanced at Yao Yan in a reproachful manner. Her tone became a little shy, but that shyness was not natural. Obviously, simulating a ‘lover’ in one’s mind was not a simple thing.

“It depends on you.” Yao Yan smiled slightly, like an old fox, wagging his tail and watching Ling Qingzhu’s self-attack. (End of this chapter)
