Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World-Chapter 1246 - 552: Qing Yan’s Departure and the Coming Chaos Tribulation (2)

Chapter 1246: Chapter 552: Qing Yan’s Departure and the Coming Chaos Tribulation (2)

The Water Mother thought for a while and shook her head, "I want to take Mu Qingyan away."

"..."

"Zheng Fa is the one who entered the All Heaven Stars Formation, right?"

"..."

The Water Mother chuckled lightly, as if she saw through everything, "As soon as you appeared, Nine Nether, I knew someone from Jiushan Sect was trapped in the All Heaven Stars Formation."

"No one else would make you let go of the past and personally come to find me."

"Only that Zheng Fa you mentioned just now."

The Nine Nether Emperor glanced at the Water Mother and said with a stern face, "The Water Mother has a good eye."

The tone slightly uplifted, unclear whether it was admiration or mockery.

"Good eye..." The Water Mother understood, "The only time my eyes misjudged was with Lingxi..."

The two were silent for a moment.

After a while, the Water Mother shook her head and looked at the Nine Nether Emperor, her expression determined, "I have a way to let him escape."

"Under what condition?"

"Let me take her away." The Water Mother pointed to Mu Qingyan’s courtyard.

The Nine Nether Emperor followed her finger to look over; Mu Qingyan’s courtyard was silent, seemingly uninhabited.

"I agree."

A series of hurried footsteps came from inside the courtyard, seemingly heading outward.

"But Zheng Fa does not agree."

"..."

This big gasp made the Water Mother’s face darken, "Zheng Fa wants the Investiture of the Gods?"

"Of course, he wants it."

"Wishful thinking!"

"If you do not want to give it, we cannot force it." The Nine Nether Emperor laughed, seemingly not regretful at all, "Except for one thing, before I came, Zheng Fa instructed me."

"What was it?"

"The Water Mother can go wherever she wants, but Mu Qingyan is only Mu Qingyan, the second disciple of Jiushan Sect’s Sect Leader. If she doesn’t want it, no one can take her away from Jiushan Sect."

"You can go find other backup plans you have left, my Jiushan Sect will not hinder you. But if in the future, what the Water Mother does harms Mu Qingyan... My Jiushan Sect will not tolerate it."

A few rapid footsteps sounded from within the courtyard, as if the owner of the footsteps couldn’t hide their excitement, running quickly inside the courtyard.

"..."

No wonder Mu Qingyan is so dedicated to her master.

The Water Mother felt very conflicted inside.

When she cast Mu Qingyan’s seeds across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds back then, she did not expect one would grow to resemble someone else’s appearance.

The problem is, this is still the best-grown one!

Now that Zheng Fa entered the formation, Evil Water Mother might escape soon, she was somewhat caught off guard.

Mu Qingyan’s strength was already quite barely enough.

Other seeds were far less superior than Mu Qingyan.

Moreover, Mu Qingyan’s foundation, talent, and character made her reluctant to give up.

When she was Mu Qingyan’s age back then, she wasn’t as excellent as Mu Qingyan.

The Nine Nether Emperor saw her face constantly changing, seeming to see through her dilemma, suddenly asked, "Did the Water Mother ever think, if Mu Qingyan hadn’t met Zheng Fa, would she have achieved today’s status?"

"This..."

This year, the Water Mother had understood Mu Qingyan’s past, to be honest, if she hadn’t met Zheng Fa, who didn’t value background and was willing to cultivate disciples, Mu Qingyan couldn’t have achieved today’s accomplishments, transforming into Divinity within just over a hundred years.

"If the Water Mother had personally taught Mu Qingyan, what would she be like now?"

The Water Mother became more speechless.

She certainly could accelerate Mu Qingyan’s cultivation rapidly, but that would also lead Mu Qingyan to her old path, unable to break free from the shackles of Divine Dao Skill, and needless to say, be exceptional in Alchemy Dao.

"Did the Emperor say this to commend Zheng Fa?"

The Nine Nether Emperor laughed, "No, I simply want to ask the Water Mother, when you sowed across the heavens, for what purpose?"

"To break free from the shackles of Divine Dao Skill, reincarnate, and confirm Dao anew..."

"Then isn’t today’s Mu Qingyan walking precisely according to your plan? The Yellow Court Scripture melds with Divine Dao Skill, yet inaugurates an innovative approach, virtually solving the problem of Divine Dao Skill." The Nine Nether Emperor retorted.

The Water Mother’s eyes trembled slightly.

"Jiushan Sect might be the only place to achieve your purpose." The Nine Nether Emperor stated decisively, "For others, not only do they lack such opportunities, but they also cannot have an environment as good as Jiushan Sect."

The Water Mother seemed unable to refute, just sneered coldly, "Sounds nice! But how much advantage did your Jiushan Sect take with the Investiture of the Gods and the All Heaven Stars Formation?"

The Nine Nether Emperor thought about it, suddenly lowered the voice, seemingly wanting not to be heard by Mu Qingyan, "This matter is my idea, Zheng Fa has yet to state his position, but presumably won’t hinder."

"What?"

"Did I not mention before, Zheng Fa wants to retire?"

The Water Mother nodded slightly.

"I see Mu Qingyan has great potential to be the next Sect Leader of Jiushan, especially with your help, the advantage is enormous."

The Water Mother’s eyes widened slightly, thought for a while, and couldn’t help but agree it seemed so.

Zheng Fa has only two disciples, the eldest disciple Gu Chang, seems to be highly respected within the sect, but after observing for over a year, she found this person to be indifferent to power, more willing to bury himself in research.

On the contrary, Mu Qingyan...

"Previously, when Zheng Fa asked for ambition, Mu Qingyan expressed her desire to vie for the position of Sect Leader, albeit Zheng Fa showed no intention to designate, seemingly did not oppose either."

The Water Mother fell into deep thought.

Mu Qingyan is a disciple of the Sect Leader of Jiushan Sect, with an excellent relationship with the only senior brother, likely to become the next Sect Leader.

If she gets her help...

"Under fair competition, does the Water Mother not even have this bit of confidence?"

The Nine Nether Emperor’s words elicited a hum from the Water Mother, yet she couldn’t help admitting, the few words from the Nine Nether Emperor gave her an entirely different perspective on this matter.

The Nine Nether Emperor continued speaking beside her, "At that time, whether the Investiture of the Gods or the All Heaven Stars Formation, isn’t it all going to benefit the household?"

"Thus, Mu Qingyan’s cultivation not only receives aid from your inheritances but also support and protection from Jiushan Sect." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"As for the talent of Jiushan disciples, I believe the Water Mother sees it clearly."

Recalling those Jiushan disciples with their exceptional talent in the laboratory, the Water Mother couldn’t help but admit that Jiushan Sect might be the best place for Mu Qingyan’s growth.

The Nine Nether Emperor looked at the Water Mother, seeing her face struggle, couldn’t help but smile.

Unexpectedly, after hesitating for a while, the Water Mother shook her head.

"The Water Mother doesn’t agree?"

"Your words indeed move me, but the All Heaven Stars Formation and the Investiture of the Gods were both refined for Turquoise Pool intending to later serve as treasures of the sect," the Water Mother said solemnly, "If Mu Qingyan sends them to Jiushan Sect, what about Turquoise Pool?"

"Turquoise Pool?" Hearing that, the Nine Nether Emperor’s expression turned peculiar, "Who is left in Turquoise Pool now?"

With those words, the Water Mother felt the Nine Nether Emperor belittled Turquoise Pool, slightly irritated, "Although Paradise has leaned towards Leiyin Temple, there is still Taiyin and others..."

As soon as the Nine Nether Emperor heard it, he directly interrupted the Water Mother’s words, "Doesn’t the Water Mother believe, trapped in the All Heaven Stars Formation, is only Zheng Fa?"

Looking at the smiling Nine Nether Emperor, the Water Mother suddenly felt an unease in her heart.

...

Within the All Heaven Stars Formation, Taiyin Fairy and Qingnv among them did not yet know they had already become the last straw to strike down the Water Mother.

Both were injured, but before entering the formation to seek the Water Mother, they anticipated some danger, brought many precious healing items, after some nurturing, recovered about seventy to eighty percent Essence Qi.

Lord Nichang looked towards Zheng Fa, seeing him holding the Taiyin Osmanthus, his aura turned silent, already entered the Vacuum Tribulation, couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

"Once entering the Vacuum Tribulation, a cultivator becomes completely unaware of the outside, you can’t lend a hand."

Taiyin Fairy reassured seeing her expression.

Qingnv nodded too, spoke, "Rest assured, this place is fairly safe, no one will disturb..."

Before her voice fell, Taiyin Fairy suddenly looked around, eyes vigilant, seemingly discovered something.

Qingnv paused momentarily, before she could ask the doubt in her heart, a bizarre voice echoed from all directions simultaneously:

"Found you all!"
