Chapter 127: Bai Qing’er Satisfied; Changxi Ashamed

In the mirror.

Gu Changqing did not say much. He just carried the bronze coffin on his back and began walking toward where that terrifying will came from.

“If I die, I humbly request that you bring the coffin back here and revive her.”

That’s the only thing that the man with a coffin on his back said.

…

Outside the mirror.

Ye Chen felt like his cheeks were on fire. As if someone had just slapped him across the face!

The cultivators around Ye Chen also had an awkward look on their faces and equally awkward looks in their eyes.

The other cultivators had a shift in their expressions too.

“Even though the Heavenly Emperor became cruel and violent to others later on, the Heavenly Emperor we’re seeing right now is truly a man of great character.”

“That’s right. Regardless of whether it was to the humans or to others, the Heavenly Emperor has been very sincere and loyal.”

“It never crossed my mind that we’re able to stand here and talk to one another all thanks to what the Heavenly Emperor did back then.”

“Right now I feel that the Heavenly Emperor isn’t that deserving of hate anymore. He saved everyone once, so even though he treated them wickedly later on, everyone actually owes him their life.”

Some cultivators said these words among themselves, some just remained silent.

Only Ye Chen’s expression was as dark as the night sky.

“Damn this Heavenly Emperor!!” cursed Ye Chen inwardly.

This man was supposed to be someone filled with evil, a man who couldn’t care less about anyone else in the world. Yet his image seemed to have surpassed Ye Chen’s in everyone’s heart.

That lit a fire of jealousy in Ye Chen’s heart, making him angrier and more hateful toward the Heavenly Emperor.

A brilliant glow twinkled in Bai Qing’er’s beautiful eyes. Her delicate lips curved upward into a satisfied smile.

Everyone could sense that the man who carried the coffin on his back knew there was a high chance he could die, yet he went anyway.

Even so, the man did not leave the coffin with the Witch Clan.

“So, Brother Changqing, even though you knew that you might never come back from this trip, you still wanted to walk the last part of the journey with me?” murmured Bai Qing’er to herself.

In the past, she felt that this man had been so cold toward her. But now, she could feel how much passionate he had been toward her in his heart.

In the skies.

Changxi had seen what happened in the mirror.

Deep envy arose in her beautiful eyes.

But in the next moment.

Deep shame arose in her heart.

And what right did she have to demand love from that man?

Just like what Bai Qing’er said, she wasn’t worthy!

The shame in her heart was hard to bear. She began to launch even harder attacks on Mu Nanzhi.

“I must save him! Then I shall kill myself to atone for my guilt!”

…

Inside the mirror.

Gu Changqing arrived at a very deep valley.

The forest here was even denser and the power of the Witch God was more intense.

The plants here had absorbed the power of the Witch God and had evolved as a result. Even the grass on the ground was more resilient and thicker than ordinary trees.

The animals here were also very powerful. Many of them were even at Saint King level!

The Witch Clan was able to cultivate by absorbing the power of the Witch God too. However, they were also able to block off the controlling power that came with it.

And so, the power of the Witch God was like qi to other cultivators.

But things were different for plants and animals.

They were not sentient enough and only knew how to absorb the power of the Witch God mindlessly. They were extremely powerful now, but they had also long turned into the Witch God’s puppets!

They no longer had any mind of their own and followed the instructions of the will of the Witch God.

These living creatures continued to pass these characteristics on to the living things around them, causing this forbidden zone to become the Witch God’s base.

These living creatures were extremely vicious. When Gu Changqing barged into this valley, countless creatures bounded toward him without thinking.

They were not really trying to kill Gu Changqing, but they approached him in order to allow the power of the Witch God in their bodies to convert Gu Changqing to one of their own, to make Gu Changqing another puppet of the Witch God.

But for Gu Changqing right now, even if they were at the same stage of cultivation, his opponents seemed completely helpless. They were no threat to him at all.

In no time, he had cleared the deep valley of all living creatures.

Then, he arrived at the deepest part of the valley.

A rock statue that reached into the sky stood there. He could tell that it was a woman. Her silky hair reached her waist, her facial features were intricate. She clearly looked very different from the rough and rugged features of the other members of the Witch Clan.

On the other side of the woman was a gigantic seal.

This was a seal that was formed by countless formations. It went on for thousands of miles and the formation runes on it were very complicated and contained great might, as though the seal wasn’t around a thing but rather, an entire world.

Inside the formation, countless divine runes swirled around. These divine runes were extremely old and mysterious. They were impossible to decode, impossible for people to understand them.

They were like ancient script lost in the river of time.

The divine runes gave off a bright divine glow, causing the huge seal to shine as brilliantly as the sun.

Outside the mirror.

The pupils of all the cultivators constricted immediately.

It was hard for them to imagine that despite being trapped by such a terrifying seal, the Witch God was still able to make a breakthrough!

“Exactly how powerful is an Immortal cultivator?”

This was a question that popped up in the minds of all the cultivators.

Based on their conclusion earlier, Gu Changqing had sealed the Witch God again and lived to tell the tale.

But now, it seemed like sealing or reinforcing this seal wasn’t going to be as easy as they had imagined.

“No wonder the old woman said that even the two Half-Step to Immortals ended up paying such a great price!”

“Given how terrifying the power within the seal is, how in the world did the Heavenly Emperor manage to survive this?”

Everyone finally felt fear in their hearts now.

Even though they knew from watching the Heavenly Emperor’s past in the mirror that the Heavenly Emperor had saved the world before, they hadn’t thought very much of it.

Until they truly sensed how terrifying the Witch God was.

That was the moment they really understood why the old woman said that once the Witch God broke free of the seal, all of Beixuan Continent’s beings would die!

…

Creaaak…

Inside the mirror, that terrifying low hum resounded again.

This voice was thick and deep, but it contained a terrifying will, making the entire valley shake wildly.

The gigantic formation around it shook even more violently.

At the topmost part of the formation, a tiny crack in space suddenly burst open. But in the next moment, a scroll on that crack held it down again.

The Human Book!

A strange look flashed in Gu Changqing’s eyes.

He could sense that the power of the Human Book was almost all drained. In just a few more years, or perhaps in just one more year, all the power of the Human Book would be completely drained.

Without the Human Book, the crack in spacetime would naturally become the way the Witch God escaped his shackles.
