Xiuxian first lady

Chapter 130 - The Finale
"Have you decided yet?"

After many days of silence, Bai Xiaoxiao finally asked her teacher and now her husband.

In fact, even without asking her, she knew that Chen Qingcheng would never change his mind about what he had decided.

What's more, this idea is not a temporary one. Chen Qingcheng had already told her exactly when they started the dual cultivation.

This is also consistent with Bai Xiaoxiao's conclusion from searching the classics in the library.

In an ancient classic, the practice of Duanji Xuangong was once mentioned.

When this technique was first created, it did not have the notoriety it has today, only because there were still people who practiced the extreme mysteries to reach the peak and successfully enlightened and ascended in the way of cultivating immortals.

But such people are very few.

Because if this technique is to be cultivated to the extreme, and even ascend to immortality, a series of harsh conditions must be met.

One of them is to have a pair of monks who are completely compatible with each other.

Of course, for some sects of cultivating immortals with great families, this is not a difficult task.Although Duan Ji Xuan Gong is difficult to practice, but with the guidance of a master, why not cultivate excellent successors?

Enlightened sects such as Tianwen Sword Sect have never prohibited masters and apprentices from forming Taoist couples. It stands to reason that practicing this technique is a matter of course.

But there is another condition that few people can willingly fulfill.

Among this pair of Taoist couples practicing Duan Ji Xuan Gong, only one can ascend to immortality in the end, and although the other can reach the final level, he will fall when he is about to ascend.

Cultivating immortals has never been a ruthless way. Two people who can form a Taoist couple are mostly because of mutual affection, not just for practicing exercises.

If this technique is practiced to the end, two people can't both ascend, but one has to be sacrificed, who among those Taoist companions will try?

Even if it is a demon heretic, there must be a reason for cultivating fanatics. Like this, you find someone to double cultivate with yourself, and in the end you ascend, but the Taoist partner has no results. There are one or two cases in the past, and the reputation spreads. No one dares to care anymore.

Therefore, the Duan Ji Xuan Gong was first abandoned by dual cultivators, and when the cultivators who practiced alone discovered that they could not achieve perfection in the last stage no matter what, the entire cultivation path of immortals who practiced this method disappeared.

In the past 2000 years, there has been only one such as Chen Qingcheng.

"'Fallen', what do you refer to?" Bai Xiaoxiao asked after hearing all the ins and outs, "The body dies and the dao disappears? The spirit and consciousness disappear?"

As far as she knows, there is no reincarnation in this world. After a person dies, his consciousness is scattered in the world and can no longer be found.

It is also because of this that Chen Qingcheng's act of mending the sky back then is particularly respectable.

He has made more sacrifices for Shenzhou than anyone else.

But Bai Xiaoxiao didn't understand what he meant when he brought up the result of Shuangxiu Xuangong.

Unless this "fall" has another meaning.

She knew her teacher's character. Apart from putting responsibility above everything else, he was also a person who used "death" and "desperation" to the extreme.

Just like when he first practiced the Xuanji Xuangong, which everyone avoided, and climbed to the No.1 position in the Tao of Xiuxian in one fell swoop.

"Fallen is not death," Chen Qingcheng replied, "It is a different existence from mortals or cultivators, and there is no state of ascension to immortality. Fallen people, body and consciousness, are immortal, but they are forever fettered in the mainland of China superior."

"Huh?" Bai Xiaoxiao's first reaction was not fear, but curiosity, "Isn't that good? Immortality, that is, eternal existence with the mainland of China?"

Chen Qingcheng looked at her and shook his head, but didn't speak. After a while, his true knowledge was clearly reflected in Bai Xiaoxiao's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Eternal existence means eternal loneliness...Besides, the fallen person has a pair of monks, and the beloved is ascended to immortality, but he is left on this continent forever, alone... If there is no other way, I will I don't want to..."

This seems to be the first time he communicated with Bai Xiaoxiao in this way.What Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered was "that" teacher from before.

The true knowledge of Chen Qingcheng 60 years ago lived in her sea of ​​consciousness.

She has been taught a lot by that teacher, and it can even be said that although she loves Chen Qingcheng, who has gone through many vicissitudes and has white hair like frost, in terms of kindness, "that one" is better.

So when Chen Qingcheng spoke like this, she was slightly surprised at first, then felt familiar and nostalgic, and finally understood the meaning of the words.

"You..." She shook her head lightly, straightened up, and hugged the upright body sitting in front of her into her arms.

He was telling her that the last way to save the mainland of China is to take advantage of the opportunity of "falling" and become the guardian of China.

He is the No. 1 cultivator of immortality for thousands of years. He is the strongest person in the world. If he becomes an existence of unity of body and consciousness, immortality, he will be able to fill up the gaps in the mainland of China for a long time, and even reorganize It is not impossible for the aura of heaven and earth to help the revival of Xiuxian Dao.

But at the same time, he will completely disappear in this world, in front of his fellow disciple of Tianwen Mountain whom he is attached to.

He would also lose her forever, the only person he had ever loved in his long life.

He told her he didn't want to, but he had to.

After all, he chose responsibility.

But Bai Xiaoxiao was fascinated by the rare affection in his words.

She knew that if there was a chance, he would not choose this way.

He has already given up his life once for the sake of this divine state and all beings in the world, and now he has to choose to bear "eternity".

The eternal loneliness of losing a lover.

Although he didn't choose to be with her, how could she not love him!

……

"Have you decided yet?"

Chen Qingcheng looked at those bright and gentle eyes and nodded, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

He knew, she knew him, he had always known.

She was such a bright and sensible girl that she didn't need any explanation from him.

And these days, those rare lingering and tender memories will become his fond memories that he will relive over and over again in his eternal future.

So he has no regrets.

"In this life, I can see you soaring in success, free and easy, it's me..."

"You don't need to say those words first!" Bai Xiaoxiao interrupted him without comprehension, and simply said, "What should I do when the time comes, tell me in detail again."

It was rare for Dean Chen, who wanted to express some feelings, to be choked up before he talked about the details of the method of luck and so on.

……

The day Chen Qingcheng left the customs, the world shook.

Although there is no such thing as Yijing Lingkong that day, there are nearly a hundred representatives of various sects on Tianwen Mountain at this time, either outspokenly or with a stern face.These people gathered outside the Seven Star Cave of Jiuyao Peak, and they cheered when they saw Chen Qingcheng and Bai Xiaoxiao standing side by side when the cave door opened.

After everyone tried their best, they pinned their last hope on the person they most respected, the real Beichen.

As for Bai Xiaoxiao, some people may have noticed, or some people know that she has recently formed a dual cultivator couple with Zhenren Beichen, but she is just a young girl who is slightly valued by the sect.

What can she do?

Facing the concerned but contemptuous eyes of a group of people, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile, then turned to look at Chen Qingcheng.

"I'm ready," she said almost cheerfully, "and you?"

"Yes." Chen Qingcheng replied habitually.

"Didn't you say goodbye to the sect leader and Dean Biyou?"

The entrance of Feixing Cave was crowded with people, but there were no shadows of Daoist Qingping and Biyou Yuanjun.

He must have made up his mind not to see him for the last time.

"They have something to do." Chen Qingcheng said lightly.

Regardless of whether this last action is successful or not, the next thing can only be a labor of love for the two of them.

I hope they... can go on for a long time...

Even if he really said this, it would still cause Bi You to stare blankly.

Chen Qingcheng thought about it, then shook his head slightly, then looked ahead and said: "Everyone retreat to the peak."

The crowd of uninvited guests was quiet for a while before they understood what he meant. They didn't dare to disobey him immediately, so they walked down the peak without knowing why.

As the crowd receded, the courtyard in front of Feixing Cave seemed empty again.

Chen Qingcheng waved his hand to set the restriction first, then nodded to Bai Xiaoxiao, and the two sat cross-legged as before.

People who had just walked halfway up the mountain suddenly heard a loud thunder that pierced the sky!
"This, what is this?..."

The crowd was chaotic, although they looked back, but under Chen Qingcheng's power, no one dared to go back to see what happened.

There was another blinding flash of lightning, and a deafening thunderclap.

This time everyone saw clearly that the location where the thunder was striking was not the top of Jiu Yao Peak, where the Flying Star Cave was located!

"Heavenly Tribulation! Heavenly Tribulation!" Suddenly someone shouted, "Ascension to Immortal Thunder Tribulation!"

Shengxian...?
Everyone suddenly woke up and couldn't help shouting.

"Realist Beichen is about to cross the tribulation and ascend!"

"Why at this time..."

"Realist Beichen, are you going to abandon Shenzhou?..."

……

The shouts were chaotic, including envy, awe, surprise, and unwillingness.

Beichen Master Chen Qingcheng, this last hope is going to leave them, so don't the rest of them have to wait to die?
"Shut up!" A clear and cold voice came, followed by the flying boat driven by Qinghe.

The flying boat circled over everyone's heads unceremoniously, and then stopped in mid-air condescendingly.The young man sitting in the boat was wearing a blue Taoist robe, his complexion was slightly pale, but his handsome face exuded a strong murderous aura, which made people feel terrified. If it wasn't Master Qingping, who else would it be!
"Principal Chen is my disciple of Tianwen Sword Sect. It is his choice whether he wants to sacrifice his life to save the world, or ascend to immortality. If anyone is dissatisfied, feel free to speak to Tianwen Mountain!"

The young man had a surly look on his face, and his words were ruthless.Everyone had heard that Daoist Qingping had lost all cultivation, so they couldn't help but underestimated him a little bit, but hearing his voice was not loud, it was clearly transmitted into everyone's sea of ​​knowledge, obviously using the power of true knowledge , couldn't help feeling uneasy, and lowered their heads one after another.

"The lineage of Tianwen Mountain has been cultivating immortals for thousands of years. It has owed the heaven and the earth, and the mortal world, but it has never owed to fellow cultivators!" A koi-shaped cloud rides up next to it, and Biyou Yuanjun said loudly, "What do you want to do? Tian Wenshan made irresponsible remarks, so he should touch his conscience first to see if he is worthy!"

Do you deserve it?

The last time the Heavenly Crack in Shenzhou was caused by the five heavenly sects working together to set up an formation, Chen Qingcheng personally drove the formation, but this time, Wujilou among the five heavenly sects was the first to flee by flying boat, and the remaining four struggled to maintain order in the world.

When it comes to what he did to Shenzhou, who has the right to criticize Tianwenshan?

There was a "bang", it seemed that the Lightning Tribulation of Immortal Ascension just now exploded on the heads of everyone.When I looked carefully, I realized that it was just a technique released by Biyou Yuanjun with his open hand.

"Don't go away!"

Master Qingping didn't look at the sect envoy who was forced to run away by Lord Biyou Yuan, but only looked at the thunder lights on the peak not far away, got up tremblingly from the flying boat, and bowed deeply.

"Farewell, brother."

Biyou Yuanjun also turned around, and also bowed to the ground.

"Farewell, brother."

……

When Tianlei hit the 81th [-]st shot, Bai Xiaoxiao only felt half of her body numb, and her mind also became a little trance.She had to open her eyes wide and looked hard at Chen Qingcheng opposite, trying to get the strength to keep going from that calm and tough face.

Chen Qingcheng stood up, and said calmly: "Sword."

His words were like an order, Bai Xiaoxiao instinctively followed him and stood up, regardless of her hands and feet being so soft that she almost fell back again, she made a tactic between her fingers and summoned the Jinghong Sword, she stretched out her hand and held it, the tip of the sword pointing obliquely to the sky .

Point to the location of the thunderbolt in the sky.

At the same time, Chen Qingcheng also did the same thing.

The Jueming Sword, the divine sword that once terrified the world of cultivators, has appeared in his palm.

"disease!"

Two sword lights as bright as meteors shot out from the tips of the two swords at the same time, and pierced Gao Tianyun in an instant.

As if to pierce the sky.

A sound that was louder than the thunder just now shook the sky!
Bai Xiaoxiao only felt that the fatigue had disappeared from her whole body, and she flew into the air involuntarily, as light as a weightless feather, following the heavenly path drawn by the two sword lights.

The golden light gushed out from her body continuously, it was slightly weak at first, but it spread out layer by layer like ripples, and as the sky was covered with her golden light, the light also illuminated the whole place. A piece of sky, and the Jiuyao Peak shrouded in the sky.

She saw the crowd retreating from the middle of the mountain, they were very chaotic, but some of them turned their heads occasionally, so she couldn't help but stop and watch.More and more people stopped, until everyone turned their heads, looked up at her in a daze, and then showed incredible expressions.

She didn't recognize those people, presumably they were not familiar with her, it was just because of the astonishment that someone had ascended again in the mainland of China in the past thousand years.

So she turned her eyes away, and looked at the flying boat still parked in the middle of the mountain, and the cloud ride in the shape of a koi.

Qingping is the head of the sect, and Dean Biyou.

They still came.

Come to bid farewell to her, and even more so to bid farewell to Chen Qingcheng.

In the whole world, they are probably the only few people who know exactly what Chen Qingcheng wants to do.

Bai Xiaoxiao was in mid-air, but felt that there was an irresistible force controlling her in the dark, making her unable to do anything to prevent her from flying into the sky, and she was also temporarily unable to cast spells.But general action is still possible.

Therefore, she also bowed deeply to the two people below like Qingping Daoist and Biyou Yuanjun.

This was the last time she saw them, Tianwen Mountain.

According to the established law of this world, people who have ascended to immortality can no longer stay in the world, but enter a higher world in a transcendent way of existence.

And the Shenzhou world, which gave her a sense of belonging from the very beginning and allowed her to embark on the road of cultivating immortals, will have nothing to do with her in the end.

At this time, she also saw Chen Qingcheng, who followed behind her with a very indifferent attitude, and also flew towards the top of the sky.

However, she knew that he had a different destination from herself.

He sent her to fly into the sky, but he stayed behind to guard the mainland of China.

Thousands of years, ten thousand years, forever.

From the first time she saw him, he was alone, and when she finally left him, he was still alone.

But he raised his face and smiled at her.That smile was so gentle it seemed to drain all his emotion.

Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly laughed too, shedding tears while laughing.She knew this man too well, and knew that he was really happy for herself, and pleased with her carefree journey.

With a smile on her face, she raised her sword and pointed at the sky again, and made a sharp sword art with the other hand.

"disease!"

"You... Xiaoxiao!"

When Bai Xiaoxiao heard the cry not far away, with her teacher's rare anger, she suddenly felt extremely relaxed.

In his life, he has calculated thousands of times, and he must not be able to calculate. The little disciple who has been obedient to him will finally have a day of disobedience.

How could she leave him alone!

The sword light exploded swiftly, engulfing the two figures who could fly into the zenith in an instant, causing the people on the ground to scream again.

After the glaring light dissipated, the sky was completely clear, there were no flying people, and there was not even a trace of cloud. The blue sky was like a huge transparent crystal.

……

After the people who practiced immortality in Shenzhou accepted the fact that Daoist Beichen and his Taoist couple both ascended with anxiety, they began to feel depressed.

Without the person who is willing to sacrifice his life to save the world, there is no way to save the world, and the rest seems to be waiting to be destroyed.

However, the four Heavenly Sects headed by the Heavenly Asking Sword Sect Qingping Zhenren, did not know when they started to move again.

While continuing to send disciples down the mountain to appease and help the mortal world, they also sent people to search for mineral veins and herbs, forge weapons, purify spirit stones, and forbid magic weapons...

The cultivators who didn't know why thought it was an attempt to seize the last remaining aura of Shenzhou, but this action took 60 years.

A whole Jiazi has passed again.

People gradually came to understand that the aura of the Divine Land didn't seem to disappear, but miraculously recovered.

The way of cultivating immortals in Shenzhou still exists and will continue to be passed down.

And those disciples sent by the Tianzong to the human world also helped mortals find more ways to survive without relying on the magic of cultivating immortals.

They learned how to choose the site according to the public opinion, so as to save the place where they live from suffering from floods and droughts, and also learned to cultivate intensively and cultivate fine seeds.

Or, when the next time the divine aura is exhausted, they will already be able to live tenaciously.

……

Just like the catastrophe of the sky cracking more than a hundred years ago, not many people really know who saved the endangered mainland of China this time.

However, three of the four great Heavenly Sects have taken turns to inquire about the truth from Master Qingping.

The appearance of real Qingping is more mature than that of 60 years ago, and now he looks like a 30-year-old person, and it seems that he will gradually age.

After losing his cultivation base, his lifespan was obviously shortened greatly.

And he didn't seem to care.

"Tao follows nature," he always said casually, "Humans always get old."

But he didn't say whether it was Chen Qingcheng and his little disciple who prevented the exhaustion of spiritual energy.

He just corrected others solemnly and said: "Bai Xiaoxiao, her name. She is a cultivator of green bamboo in the mountains, so people we know also call her Xiao Zhuzi."

"Then has she ascended, or..." Visitors always ask curiously, "What happened to Daoist Beichen?"

This time, Master Qingping laughed happily, as if being asked his favorite question.

"On a clear night, look up to the sky. The tallest and brightest star in the northern zenith is the Daoist Beichen."

"So, the one who saved the world is indeed Master Beichen, and he is still guarding us?"

Master Qingping smiled without saying a word.

"What about Bai Xiaoxiao? Has she also turned into a star? Can we find out where she is?"

"I'm too lazy to talk to you" with a real face of Qingping.

"Do you still need to look for it? Can't you see it when you look up?"

The person who asked the question raised his head, and saw that the blue sky was as clean as a cloud, and a round of bright red sun was hanging in the sky, sprinkling her light and heat on the mainland of China.

Master Qingping didn't say a word, turned around and put his hands behind his back, and walked into the deep mountain meanderingly.
