Chapter 954: Chapter 572: Branching Out and Spreading Roots (October 19th Supplement)_2

Bo Linqiu leaned against the gray-white boulder.

Upon hearing this, he first gazed at the somewhat dim sword charm in the aperture, then nodded and shook his head: "Yes, but also no."

Bo Linqiu did not expect his father to be even more fierce and explosive than he had imagined.

It was just a simple wisp of will, yet with that extremely weak aura, it could force the ’Returning Lightning Pool’ to retreat and easily help them solve the great difficulty.

...

Ten years later.

It was the hundredth year of the Creation Era.

Bo Linqiu and Wu Zhanyi were joyfully united and were about to announce it to the heavens and the earth, officially becoming husband and wife as Dao companions.

The grand Dragon Sword Palace was almost entirely decorated with large red lanterns and joyous characters, extremely festive and jubilant.

At present, Bo Nianrou and Bo Banxia were looking at their younger brother with complex expressions. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Sis, I really didn’t expect our brother would be the first to marry..."

"Hehe, it’s good that Linqiu is getting married. I have devoted this life to the Great Taoism, to slay the demon lords, someone needs to serve our parents."

"Me too!"

However, Bo Nianrou, hearing this, turned and tapped her sister Bo Banxia’s fair forehead.

She was different from her sister Bo Banxia.

She devoted this life to the Great Taoism, to slay the demon lords, because she was born extraordinary, bearing heavy missions.

She was destined not only to kill Xuanxi but also to slay Demon Ants, Demon Dragons, and even... her father?!

As her thoughts raced, Bo Nianrou turned her gaze to the distance.

In the distance, Bo Qing and Ji Limin sat at the main seat, silently observing the ceremony.

Especially Bo Qing, sitting in the center, which instantly made everyone from the Ji Clan led by Ancestor Ji Sanlao and everyone from the Wu Family led by Wu Xiuwei take immense care.

No one dared to stir up any trouble in front of Bo Qing.

Because Bo Qing specially returned from the Northern Region of Divine Continent to the Southern Border of Divine Continent!

"Bow to heaven and earth!"

"Bow to the high hall!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

"Ceremony completed!"

"..."

The wedding proceeded smoothly, and under everyone’s gaze, Bo Qing and Ji Limin accepted the homage of their son and daughter-in-law.

However, as he gazed at his son, full of vigor and spirit, Bo Qing found himself somewhat dazed.

And as he glanced around at the bustling crowd, a sense of satisfaction and guilt emerged in his heart.

Back then, when he and Limin got married, due to the taboo of his origin from the Demon Tao, the marriage was conducted simply and briefly.

They had merely invited a few esteemed elders as witnesses and had completed the marriage in a rudimentary way.

Now, though he is still from the Demon Tao, he is no longer a mere up-and-comer but a Demon Cult Giant wielding the Peror Artifact Soul Killing Banner.

Not only do thousands of the Human Race need to curry favor with him, but even in major affairs, the Emperor’s son and Empress must consult with him.

Seeing his son Bo Linqiu’s marriage being celebrated so grandly, Bo Qing suddenly felt a desire to make it up to Ji Limin.

"Limin..." Bo Qing glanced sideways.

But before he could say much more, Ji Limin gave him a gentle smile.

Her eyes curled into a smile as she said, "Don’t overthink it. Just being with you, I’m already very content."

...

...

Soon after.

Bo Qing set off, returning to the front lines.

And Ji Limin followed Bo Qing, also wanting to contribute her part to the Human Race.

Originally, Bo Qing intended to refuse her accompanying him.

But upon seeing the radiance on her face, especially the determination in her bright eyes, Bo Qing realized that Limin was still the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint, with her heart full of passion!

She even wanted, like him, to go to the frontline battlefield and personally fight against the Demon Saints!

But...

"Butterfly Sword, you are summoned to the Heroic Virtue Palace. Your main duty is to be at the rear, responsible for tallying merits." The Heavenly Palace’s Heavenly Observation Department politely declined Ji Limin’s request to go into battle.

"What? How could this be?" Ji Limin was baffled, staring in astonishment at the reply from the Heavenly Observation Department in her hand.

Wasn’t there a shortage of Saints going to the frontline?

Why was her voluntary application still rejected by the Heavenly Observation Department?

Ji Limin was a bit puzzled.

Then, she dropped her gaze, seriously rereading the reply from the Heavenly Observation Department.

A while later, she felt a bit complicated.

It turned out that the reason her application to be on the frontline combat personnel was rejected was because of her husband—Bo Qing!

Although Bo Qing did not exert any pressure on the Heavenly Palace, after considering multiple factors, especially the struggle between Bo Qing and Soul Killing Demon Intent.

Thus, the Heavenly Palace is very fearful that if something were to happen to Ji Limin, it is highly likely that Bo Qing would completely descend into madness.

According to the predictions from the Heavenly Palace, if Ji Limin were no longer in the mortal world, in severe scenarios, Bo Qing might even flee the Human Race, and entering the Demon Clan would not be impossible!

After all, with the demeanor of that Demon Dragon, it would surely not refuse Bo Qing’s allegiance!

"Alas~" Ji Limin sighed softly.

She knew all the intricacies involved and thus felt helpless.

She and Bo Qing are husband and wife, of one flesh.

If she also headed to the front lines, given Bo Qing’s temperament, he would surely be distracted.

In this way, if she stayed away from the front lines, Bo Qing could better showcase his abilities.

"So Qing, you’ve grown to this level of strength already..."

Though being unable to go to the front lines left Ji Limin somewhat disappointed.

She nonetheless accepted this outcome and felt proud of Qing.

After all, she had spent significant effort in unearthing Qing’s talents.

...

Elsewhere.

Bo Qing, while stationed at a corner of the front, was also quietly cultivating.

He was attempting to utilize the calamity aura of the two races to suppress the Divine Spirit of the Soul Killing Banner, hoping to make it forever fall into oblivion!

Above the clouds, dark clouds gathered, enveloping the Demon Sword Palace.

Within the Demon Sword Palace, there lay a dust-laden pool of water.

This pool was not big, two feet square, tempered by time and blurred by history, its rock faces were riddled with ancient marks.

Within it, blood and evil thoughts stagnated and decayed, white bones appeared alongside myriad souls descending.

This was calamity aura, filled with destruction, containing extraordinarily terrifying death aura.

If not for the ongoing war fire between the two races, such corrupting aura of heaven and earth would be difficult to witness.

Those capable of refining such corrupting aura must be Demon Cult Giants, their hearts boundlessly dark.

To some extent, the murderous intent that Bo Nianrou harbored towards Bo Qing was not unjust~

"Don’t let me down~"

Bo Qing’s gaze was somber, manipulating the Soul Killing Banner to absorb the calamity aura of the two races.

The Soul Killing Banner was unlike other magnificent Emperor Artifacts like the Mountain and River Pen and the Le Tu Kasaya.

Especially with the Soul Killing Demon Emperor’s descent into madness in his later years, the Soul Killing Banner became even more sinister, worthy of being called a demonic object.

The scent was rich, fragrant.

The Soul Killing Banner, as if possessing consciousness, inhaled in the void, transforming into a giant mouth, enveloping the extreme stench of corrupting aura with a roaring sound, its dense, gray aura covering it.

"Crack pop snap!"

Within the Soul Killing Banner, all the flags pulsated, emitting metallic chimes as they repaired, combined.

On the surface of the Soul Killing Banner, various symbols occasionally flickered, not embossed but flowing across.

This was the secret of Soul Tao!

And seeing this, Bo Qing squinted slightly, his mind whirring, cautiously directing the flow of the calamity aura from the two races.

He murmured in his heart: "Without an Emperor Artifact, hehe, after thousands of years, the Soul Killing Banner will truly be mine..."

...

Spring of the 105th year of the Creation Era.

The war between the two races continued, still locked in stalemate at the borders.

In this year, Ji Limin’s smile visibly increased.

Because her great-grandson, the son of Bo Linqiu and Wu Zhanyi, was born!

Named Bo Yaozu!

A courtyard of distinctive style, antique and quaint.

The entire Bo Qing, Ji Limin, and Bo Nianrou family gathered here.

Three generations under one roof, this was a historic moment, to be captured in photos and paintings!

"Father, Mother, you sit in the center!"

"Linqiu, hold Yaozu, and stand with Zhanyi on Father’s right."

"Nianrou sis, I’ll be on Mother’s left with you, hehe..."

Bo Banxia smiled brightly, cheerfully arranging these matters.

Three generations under one roof!

And Bo Qing slightly shifted his gaze, seeing Limin’s temples graying, his joy partially diminished.

The Sword Tao family is indeed gradually emerging and taking form, but Limin is also gradually aging...

Immortality? Immortality. Immortality!
