Chapter 821 452: Maybe We Were Played_2
I should refrain from affecting others with my insignificant abilities."No matter." Gu Qing seemed to have calmed down significantly, staring at Li Ye for quite a while.
Suddenly he said, "Do you want to go back to the River of Cosmic Light now?"
Ah? Hmm?
What's the connection to the River of Cosmic Light?
"I sense that you have gained a touch of favor from the River of Cosmic Light, seemingly originating from your Spirit Beast."
"If my assumptions are correct, there should be some changes in the River of Cosmic Light."
Gu Qing, who was just so eager to make Li Ye his confidant and constantly stick around, suddenly seemed to want to push Li Ye away as soon as possible.
Li Ye was quite confused.
So he straightforwardly asked, "What does this have to do with what we were just discussing?"
"Besides, my nursery hasn't been cultivated yet."
That was two plots of land he painstakingly tilled.
If I leave now,
wouldn't the encroaching chaos wash it all away?
Wouldn't all my recent efforts be in vain?
"I'm worried I can't help but talk to you about this matter." Gu Qing was also quite melancholic, "If I say it, I'll face divine retribution, but if I don't, I feel extremely uneasy.
So you should go back and take a look.
You don't need to worry here, once you come out, you'll still be here.
Hurry up and go!
I'll open the portal for you right now!"
Gu Qing pushed Li Ye forward.
Li Ye's body was instantly shoved into the chaos, entering the River of Cosmic Light.
And he stood there quietly,
gazing at an unknown figure appearing not far away, dressed in a platinum robe.
The robe was clearly adorned with shimmering starry light.
Though it was... a murderous glow.
Such brilliance, yet so piercing.
The person remained silent, raising high the "Decree" in their hand.
"I merely spoke of some matters, and you send down a decree on me?"
He looked at the messenger, "It's merely the bloodline of the daughter of the former demon emperor's court, why press so relentlessly?
If truly infuriated.
I will take the matter to Nuwa for justice!"
But the messenger remained silent, only the scroll in their hand growing increasingly bright, shining across the chaos initially, and then progressively illuminating it.
The chaos that should not have been easily destroyed was now melting like snow under this radiance, disappearing in vast swathes.
Clearly,
the light could not harm Gu Qing.
But it could destroy the chaos here.
The chaos here wasn't an ordinary place; it was the origin of everything, even the first handful of soil in the Tao Furnace Realm originated here.
If this place were affected.
It would be equivalent to uprooting the foundation!
Equivalent to killing your grandfather, naturally, you could not survive either.
This place is the "Cause".
The chaos of cause in the entire universe.
Gu Qing took a step forward, directly blocking the brilliance.
His colossal body was like a celestial dog ready to swallow the sun, actually withstanding the light forcefully.
But that was the "Decree".
Once descended, it was absolutely unchangeable.
Even ancient emperors said their words were binding, never easily retracted, let alone now?
He couldn't comprehend.
Why did the Heavenly Venerate above the Nine Heavens act so suddenly?
It was as if... they were possessed.
"Actually, it's not."
At this moment, a voice rang out.
Soon after, the starry light enveloped everything.
Ancestor Master Su Xing leisurely walked out.
He looked at Gu Qing and smiled, "Just now, were you about to tell my disciple that Mo Qi is the bloodline of the demon emperor's daughter?
Didn't I openly say it already?
Moreover, our Four Seasons Sect also worshiped Xi He and Chang Xi. In the past, we avoided suspicion, so why avoid it now?"
These words were directed straight at the messenger.
The messenger remained silent, only the light from the scroll grew brighter, though still slightly inferior against the starry light.
After all, it wasn't truly a decree descended from the Heavenly Venerate.
It was merely...
A substitute transmission.
"Alright, alright!" Ancestor Master Su Xing was genuinely a bit vexed, "I hail from the bloodline of the original disciple of the Heavenly Venerate, Jiang Ziya, and gained enlightenment under the disciple of the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, Master Xuan Du.
Later, I even studied Taoism in the Wa Palace.
If only I had enough energy, I would go to the East Sea's Jade Pool Palace to study Taoism.
But none ever rejected my learning of the stellar techniques from the demon court, doesn't my existence, the existence of the Four Seasons Sect, explain something?
If you wish to trouble Gu Xiaoyou, you should trouble me first!
If it comes to that, we might as well go to the Upper Realm to complain to our master.
Who would mind exposing their vulnerability in front of their master?"
In the end, there was a slight change of tone.
But Taoism seems to inherently protect its own, if they can't fight back, they seek the elders, and if the elders can't handle it, they find the immortals, and if the immortals can't, they look for the primordial ones.
The messenger stood there in silence.
Finally, they spoke:
"Say to outsiders, but never speak to him."
Hmm?
"Not to Li Ye?"
"Why?
This time Gu Qing truly felt the gravity of the situation.
Yet the messenger simply looked towards Su Xing, who seemed to understand, creating a starlight enclosure around Gu Qing.
"Speak."
"There are no outsiders now."
The messenger continued, "He is not from this universe, nor any of the Four Continents governed by the Upper Realm Celestial Court, nor any of the three thousand minor worlds."
"..."
This time even Su Xing realized the severity.
He initially thought Li Ye merely came from some world, but now it seems he's not.
Isn't that....?
"A demon god?" He intently focused on the messenger, "If he's not recorded in the Heaven, Earth, and Human Book, then he must have originated from the true chaos as a demon god.
Unexpectedly, our Four Seasons Sect is so blessed.
Indeed, the teachings of humanity must prosper!"
At the end he even appeared somewhat elated.
If the messenger could be rendered speechless, now would certainly be the moment, were you not just frightened, and why revel now?
But unfortunately,
One could not discern the messenger's face.
Only the voice came through: "I do not know, but this matter must never be broached to him, if he learns himself, that's a different matter."
"?"
Were you implying something to me?
Su Xing's expression turned complicated, "So ultimately, whose command sent you to deliver this decree?
Surely not the elder Jade Emperor himself."
The messenger fell silent again.
After a while, the reply was unrelated, "It's said that a demon god's power stems entirely from their bloodline and physical form, neither spiritual power nor Taoist technique.
Yet they possess incredible and unfathomable mystical powers."
"So who gave you permission to speak of this, as if I wouldn't know?" Su Xing, who frequents the Celestial Court, naturally knew of these things.
"You'll tell him anyway." The messenger concluded, promptly disappearing with the decree.
Leaving Ancestor Master Su Xing's face twitching.
Feeling extremely strange.
So what was the actual purpose of this messenger's visit?
Seemed like he was just a courier.
Was the last sentence indicating he should tell Li Ye?
He didn't comprehend.
But decided not to speak.
After all, even Nuwa had taken note of Li Ye, with her protection, who would dare harm him casually now?
Regardless... that's just how the Taoist sect rolls.
Even if it's a decree, it would need to be from the Jade Pure, Supreme Pure, or Grand Pure Three Dao Ancestors, otherwise he definitely wouldn't comply readily.
With this in mind,
He immediately crushed the starlight in his hand.
Gu Qing emerged from within, his face solemn:
"What exactly should I avoid?"
"Am I not a Taoist sect member?"
Su Xing shook his head: "You are, but you have some leverage on that side, if something truly happened, wouldn't you suffer?
Luckily, I didn't partake in those past matters."
He looked at the distant chaos, and the land Li Ye had just cultivated.
Suddenly pondering if perhaps he ought to find someone to assist.
But it was at that moment, he suddenly realized something—
This place was already severed from the Upper Realm.
Even the power of the Heavenly Venerate couldn't truly descend, layouts had to be planned ahead.
Then how did the messenger descend?
He immediately realized that he might have been deceived.
Not just himself.
Gu Qing was also played!
