When the blue light finally vanished, the roar also died down.
However, the demon scar on Astro Sovereign's forehead still exist. It was like a normal scar which was invincible under his flying white hair.
When he stood up, the glacier which froze the whole Land of Tranquil Stream finally came to an end and began to fell apart in a fast speed.
All those demons outside the glacier also growled together, showing their unwillingness and rage.
But they still gave up struggling and all scattered away.
Unfortunately, Astro Sovereign had no intention to let them go.
In the Land of Tranquil Stream, ice and snow were all over the sky and blocked all the way out.
Suddenly all the ice and snow transformed into scary blades. And all the demons were exterminated by that death spiral.
With his white hair flying, Astro Sovereign seemed to have already emerged in this world of ice and snow.
As he walked in the snow, all the big demons met their deaths one by one and turned into ice pieces.
At the moment, Female Emperor already stopped fighting and stood quietly in the dark Land of Tranquil Stream.
She closed her eyes again.
When Astro Sovereign walked to her, she still remained silence. After a while, she said slowly, “Master, now…”
“Lili and I now both bear half of the seal. But we don't share the risk equally. Each of us could become the incarnation of Gui Shui Demon.” Astro Sovereign explained that while looking at Female Emperor, “However, for the moment, we are totally fine, especially me. Now I can finally walk with freedom. But one careless movement might still let me lose control and fall into the demon track.”
“Now I have to pay attention when I fight anyone. If the fight is too tough or lasts too long, Gui Shui Demon will exploit the opportunity to come back.”
“Lili possesses a lower cultivation and a more active thought. So she was in a even more dangerous condition than me.”
Chen Xuanzong uttered those words calmly, having no intention to blame Jie Mingkong. Instead, he only looked at her with a thoughtful look.
Jie Mingkong only looked at him obsessively. After a long while, she lowered her head and bowed to Chen Xuanzong without saying anything. Then she turned around and left, disappearing right away.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1191: Regret for Thousands of Years
The most thing Female Emperor wanted was Astro Sovereign to have freedom.
However, when she finally accomplished what she wanted, she only felt ashamed in front of her master.
Though the situation right now was quite different from what she had planned at first, however, Jie Mingkong still couldn't look right into Chen Xuanzong's eyes.
If the expressions in Chen Xuanzong's eyes were resent or rage, she might even feel better.
Seeing Jie Mingkong leaving slowly, Astro Sovereign stayed in silence for a long while.
Only until that white figure completely disappeared did he sigh slightly.
“Your majesty, we made it. Luckily it was not too late. We can still make some remedies.” Yan Zhaoge murmured that.
Actually, what Jie Mingkong had planned was letting Chu Lili become demon and be killed by all the experts in Roving Jade Heavens. The problem with Gui Shui Demon would be solved forever. But there was no turning back for everyone then.
“I never blamed Mingkong.” Astro Sovereign shook his head, saying, “I owed her too much before.”
“All the things happened today was because of my decision before. I should be responsible for all of this. It is not Mingkong or Lili's fault.”
“It's just, I still couldn't believe Mingkong would do this. Maybe what happened that year influenced her too much.”
Hearing that, Yan Zhaoge couldn't help but open his eyes widely. However, he chose to remain quiet.
Even though he was quite curious, he still worried that the more he asked, the dangerous he would be…
“You don't need to be too nervous.” Astro Sovereign looked at Yan Zhaoge smilingly. Then he shook his head and said frankly, “Some conventional rules do make their own senses. For example, the male master seldom has female disciples. And the female master seldom has male disciples.”
Then there was a light flas.h.i.+ng in Yan Zhaoge's eyes.
Though he knew nothing about the stories among Astro Sovereign and his two disciples, he still had some guesses about their relations.h.i.+ps according to the weird att.i.tude they had with each other. Now curiosity almost killed Yan Zhaoge.
“Mingkong only becomes like this because of me.”
Hearing Astro Sovereign's words, Yan Zhaoge was a bit enlightened.
Although Astro Sovereign was willing to be locked in this place alone for thousands of years for Chu Lili, Yan Zhaoge still felt that it was more like a sense of responsibility or a calling that Astro Sovereign had for Chu Lili.
Meanwhile, the real one which Chen Xuanzong had fallen in love with was Jie Mingkong!
Astro Sovereign looked at Yan Zhaoge and signed, without continuing.
Usually Astro Sovereign didn't like to talk too much. However, what had happened today really shocked him.
And Since Yan Zhaoge was the descendant of Astro Sovereign's friend and also had done him a huge favor. So Astro Sovereign dropped his defense to this young man.
There was also a deeper reason that made Astro Sovereign want to talk to Yan Zhaoge. In former years, the profound love between Yan Xingtang and his wife Di Qinglian who were also Yan Zhaoge's grandparents had touched Chen Xuanzong a lot.
So, as a person who never considered having a partner in his life, Chen Xuanzong also wondered if he could also fall in love with someone like them.
However, that thought didn't go too far.
He hadn't met any woman who could tug at his heartstrings.
Until one day, at some point, he had suddenly found that the girl in white had already grown up…
And it had happened before Chu Lili arrived.
However, Chen Xuanzong never showed his feelings and Jie Mingkong also knew nothing about that.
Because he didn't know falling in love with his disciple was right or wrong.
It was obviously against the principles. But what about his own feelings?
For the first time, Chen Xuanzong who had already opened the immortal door and focused only on the cultivation felt confused.
Therefore, Chen Xuanzong wasn't angry at Jie Mingkong who had gone her own way.
He could still remember what had happened at that moment, on that day, in that year.
It had been Jie Mingkong's birthday.
That day, Jie Mingkong finally received a birthday gift for the first time from her master like Chu Lili who had already got used to that.
The surprised, nervous, bashful, doubtful and faltering expression on her face was still vivid in Chen Xuanzong's mind.
However, as he was about to tell Jie Mingkong his answer to her love, they were interrupted.
He hadn't had a chance to speak up the words in his mind.
Actually, he never had that chance anymore.
On that day, Gui Shui Demon was reborn and Chu Lili almost became the new Ice Demon.
Chen Xuanzong's repeated rejection to her love hadn't discouraged her. However, she finally knew who had murdered her father, Chu Heng.
As a result, the thing Chen Xuanzong had worried about for a long time finally happened.
If he kept the promise he had with the other two sovereigns, there was only one thing he could do now.
That was killing the Ice Demon again.
And Chen Xuanzong was the only one who could do that.
It was easy for Chen Xuanzong to destroy the Gui Shui Demon who had just incarnated in Chu Lili's body.
But at last, he chose to give up.
He didn't want Chu Lili to be responsible for what he had done.
Then Chen Xuanzong intercepted and captured Chu Lili's demon rune and became the new inc
arnation for Gui Shui Demon.
As a matter of fact, his body was the best suitable incarnation for Gui shui Demon.
He didn't if it had always been Gui Shui Demon's true purpose to let him become the incarnation.
But he still chose to take the burden and also managed to stop Gui Shui Demon from coming back.
And the cost was that he had to be frozen in the Land of Tranquil Stream between the human world and the Nine Underworlds.
At that time, Jie Mingkong had tried to save Chu Lili at first but was badly injured after. While she was in a great physical pain, she found that she would lose her master forever. Then, she was overwhelmed by grief.
She didn't even have a chance to experience the joy and happiness which she had just received. The next moment, all her sweet dreams were destroyed. There were only endless desperation and sorrow for her.
Maybe the World beyond Worlds did not only lose one of the three sovereigns, Astro Sovereign. That lively girl Jie Mingkong was also gone forever.
There was only Profound Cold Emperor, who was also known as Female Emperor, Jie Mingkong.
“You don't have to stay here anymore.” Astro Sovereign came back to sense while shaking his head lightly, “I can't go to the Roving Jade Heavens now. Zhaoge, can you do me a favor and go there for me?”
The situation of Chu Lili was still uncertain.
After today, she couldn't live in the Roving Jade Heavens anymore. Even if the people there agreed to let her stay, they might only want to take advantage of her.
However, according to Chu Lili's condition right now, she might also be coveted by any big demons if she left the Roving Jade Heaven.
Though Astro Sovereign had already killed all the demons who had come to this Land of Tranquil Stream, it was still possible that the thing had happened here had already leaked.
“It's my pleasure, your majesty. I would go to the Roving Jade Heavens now.” Yan Zhaoge bowed to Astro Sovereign and said that, “But you and Female Emperor…”
“Mingkong…” Astro Sovereign sighed and shook his head.
Even if he didn't blame Female Emperor, that didn't mean that he agreed to what she had done.
Clearly, Female Emperor was aware of that. It would be better for them not to see each other. After all, they had nothing to say to each other now.
Time couldn't heal all of this. Only after they had figured out what had happened on that day would let everything come to an end, even if the result might not satisfy everyone.
Yan Zhaoge nodded and stopped asking.
“As for me, I'll return to the World beyond Worlds.” Astro Sovereign said that slightly, “On that day, everything happened so fast. I could only stop the Gui Shui Demon's rebirth so there are still lots of things I couldn't understand. Too many doubts have stayed in my mind for thousands of years.”
Jie Mingkong didn't know the answer. Yue Zhenbei was never there.
And Chen Xuanzong was the only one who had the qualification to question that person, about that thing.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1192: The Possibility of the Immortal Court Getting Involved
Even if Female Emperor had seldom seen Astro Sovereign over these years, they must have few contacts with each other before.
Also, Sword Sovereign was also aware of Astro Sovereign's condition.
So, why couldn't Astro Sovereign ask them to do him a favor? Instead, he had just said that he had needed to go to the World under Worlds by himself?
Thinking of that, Yan Zhaoge suddenly got enlightened.
He realized that Earthly Sovereign and Concealed Sovereign must be involved in this.
Since Yan Zhaoge had already told Astro Sovereign that Earthly Sovereign hadn't been in World beyond Worlds, then the only one that drove Astro Sovereign there must be Concealed Sovereign.
Though Yan Zhaoge was curious, he didn't dare to ask more.
After all, he was already satisfied with the result now.
Even though Astro Sovereign now had some scruples when he fought because he still had Gui Shui Demon sealed in his body, Astro Sovereign still possessed horrific powers.
Not to mention that Astro Sovereign also had an immortal weapon of Tranquil Level.
That broken sabre might look a bit unimpressive. But that was the most famous sabre in the World beyond Worlds, the Broken Cold Wave!
The sabre was named Cold Wave before and the blade was three feet long.
Afterwards, Astro Sovereign had broken one foot off from the sabre. Then the name of the sabre had been renamed to Broken Cold Wave.
The most strange thing was that this precious sabre from the Immortal World had even got its power strengthened after it had been broken. This legend went around in the Worlds beyond Worlds for a long time.
If Astro Sovereign came back to the World beyond Worlds, Earthly Sovereign and Concealed Sovereign would be more prudential about continuing adding pressure to the Broad Creed Mountain.
What's more, Astro Sovereign also mentioned to Yan Zhaoge that he didn't intend to rest in the Sky Jade Peak of the Kunlun Mountain. Instead, Astro Sovereign prepared to find a place in Eastern Vast Heaven Territory to have a rest.
Though Astro Sovereign also had his own intentions, he would still take a stand of supporting the Broad Creed Mountain and the Yan Family by doing that.
In this way, Yan Zhaoge would feel more a.s.sured when he went to the Roving Jade Heavens.
Of course, that was merely a comparatively speaking in consideration of the situation in the World beyond Worlds right now.
Actually, Yan Zhaoge also felt complicated coming to Roving Jade Heavens this time.
When he had met Chu Lili for the first time, he had never realized that things would become like this.
As for those disciples of the Prime Clear Lineage like Gao Xuebo, the things that had happened must also give them headaches.
They had already guessed that Chu Lili had come to the Roving Jade Heaven to take refuge. However, little did they know that the disaster that Chu Lili had brought to them might be a big demon like Gui Shui Demon.
As Yan Zhaoge finally met Gao Xuebo, they could only look at each other and give out wry smiles.
Then Yan Zhaoge told Gao Xuebo what had happened while leaving out the sensitive part of the story.
After hearing that, Gao Xuebo said in a serious look, “What a wonderful plan Female Emperor had! In that way, she could save Astro Sovereign from that cage while killing her enemy by exploiting us. That's killing two birds with one stone!”
“How's senior Chu doing right now?” Yan Zhaoge asked that in a low voice.
“She has already left the Roving Jade Heavens.” On these words, there were helpless and reluctant expression showing on Gao Xuebo's face, “My great grand master, my father and my mother are still in secluded cultivation. Other people here couldn't detect the things happened in You Region on time.”
“When we finally found the devilish qi filling in the Dynasty Vessel Valley, it was already too late. Also, the message which was brought by Trueness and Tranquility Emperor was sent to us behind time.
Yan Zhaoge frowned and said, “Devilish qi was filling in that place… Senior Chu has already become a demon?”
“Not yet, as I see it.” After pondering for a while, Gao Xuebo replied that. Then he added, “I believe that she managed to control herself after struggling for a while. The situation would be completely different now if Gui Shui Demon, one of the Twelve Devilish G.o.ds, has come back to life.”
“I see.” Yan Zhaoge nodded while also sighing secretly.
He wondered what would happen to Jie Mingkong and Chu Lili next?
“I only hope that senior Chu wouldn't be targeted by those big demons.” Yan Zhaoge expressed his worry while rubbing his temples slightly, “Otherwise, she might still become a demon.”
“And we don't even know where to find her.”
The person who went missing also included Jie Mingkong.
Although Yan Zhaoge was not so certain, he had a six sense that Female Emperor didn't come back to the World beyond Worlds.
Right now, she might still couldn't face Astro Sovereign.
“Are Trueness Emperor and Tranquility Emperor doing well now?” When Yan Zhaoge thought of Female Emperor, he couldn't leave out the two emperors who had been wounded by her.
Hearing that, Gao Xuebo shook his head instantly, saying, “Tranquility Emperor's condition is better. After all, he had the Dragon Tiger Gold Armour to protect him.”
“But Trueness Emperor, on the other hand, was hurt really badly. Though he has already taken off his human body by opening the door to immortality, being cut off an arm by Female Emperor was still a vital strike for him.”
“His Daoist cultivation was based on Steady qi. Thus he won't be seriously harmed by ordinary cultivators. However, as long as he was. .h.i.t on the critical part, it would be hard for him to recover.”
There were five kinds of immortal qi, Steady qi, Transforming qi, Bright qi, Fury qi and Clear qi, which were all different from each other.
All the true immortal experts who had opened the door of immortality would refine themselves with one kind of immortal qi. After they transformed their true essence into immortal qi, they would possess a flawless body.
As for which kind of immortal qi would they cultivate, it varied with each individual. Normally, the immortal qi would match with the person's own cultivation conception.
Some cultivators chose the immortal qi which had the same nature as their cultivation, some chose the one that could supplement their cultivation, only few of the cultivators would walk on the completely different path by choosing the immortal qi which had the opposite nature as their cultivation in order to looking for some kind of balance.
Therefore, all the true immortals or emperors would show different movements in martial arts when they fought each other.
Normally, the person who cultivated the Clear qi wouldn't stand out in every respect. However, they could lay a solid foundation to cultivate the second immortal qi.
When all the other conditions were suitable, it was more likely for the people who cultivated the Clear qi to break through the Pure Profound Tribulation.
