Chapter 290 - 290: Picking Her Up (5)
In the woman in white’s cold eyes, there was another strand of affection. She had just cut off all the emotions, and now it was born again.
She loved the Gouchen Emperor.
Deep love.
However, the fate she bore forced her to leave.
“The Qinling Emperor is very powerful. If you go with him, you can be considered to have a guarantee. He has promised me that he will protect you well,” The Gouchen Emperor said.
“Take care of yourself. I’ve taken away your talent, which is equivalent to taking away your life. Your Emperor Life Matrix is very unstable. Take care of yourself without me.” The white-robed woman hugged the Gouchen Emperor’s waist and pressed it against his chest.
“I’ll bring you back!” The Gouchen Emperor said firmly.
The woman in white smiled gently and left without looking back.
Only the Gouchen Emperor was left on the spot, holding a strand of hair tightly in his hand.
The scene stopped abruptly.
Then, it shattered quickly. Li Qingshan and Taoist Dragon returned to the present, behind the wooden hut and in front of the tomb.
Taoist Dragon licked his lips and said, “They revealed a lot of information in their conversation just now.”
Li Qingshan nodded. He had a strange expression on his face as he thought of the Qinling Emperor. He had gone to Heaven at the last moment.
The Gouchen Emperor’s wife went to Heaven with the Qinling Emperor.
The Gouchen Emperor didn’t want her to go, but she seemed to have a reason to go.
Thus, no matter how reluctant the Gouchen Emperor was, he could only watch her leave.
“The white-robed woman is from the Heaven!” Li Qingshan said firmly. The woman in white wanted to tell Heaven that she had made the right choice.
Therefore, she must have come from Heaven.
The Qinling Emperor invited her along to lead the way.
The Gouchen Emperor’s power was only that of an Emperor. His talent and even his life force had been sucked away by the white-robed woman, so he hadn’t become very powerful.
But even so, the Gouchen Emperor had still advanced to the Emperor Realm.
If his talent hadn’t been sucked away, how powerful would he be?
Would he have been no less than the Qinling Emperor?
Li Qingshan thought silently.
Taoist Dragon next to him said, “So, the wife of the Gouchen Emperor left.
That’s why there are no records about her in the Celestial Court.”
“Also, that white-robed woman sucked away the Gouchen Emperor’s innate talent, affecting his lifespan. This is also why the Gouchen Emperor had been in seclusion for the last 50,000 years before he left so suddenly.” Taoist Dragon clapped his hands and sighed.
“Where did they go?” Taoist Dragon asked in confusion.
“Heaven!” Li Qingshan said in a deep voice.
“Heaven?” Taoist Dragon frowned. He thought for a while, then shook his head and said, “I’ve read a lot of books. I’ve read most of the books in the Celestial Court, especially those secret books. They don’t have any records about Heaven.”
“It’s normal that you don’t know. This should be a secret of the Emperor Realm. If your cultivation level isn’t high enough, you won’t know.” Li Qingshan stood up and brushed off the soil from his body. Suddenly, he realized that the Flower Sea World was gradually fading.
“It seems we’re about to leave,” Li Qingshan said. Taoist Dragon nodded, seeming to agree.
The Flower Sea World was fading.
The wooden hut was also fading.
The grave of the woman in white was also fading.
Li Qingshan looked at the grave of the woman in white. If he wasn’t mistaken, it should be a cenotaph.
The white-robed woman had gone to Heaven with the Qinling Emperor, so she probably hadn’t returned from Heaven. The white-robed woman’s corpse couldn’t be in this tomb.
The Flower Sea World faded. Li Qingshan took one last look at the white-robed woman’s grave. In his mind, he deeply remembered the place, Heaven.
The Flower Sea World disappeared completely. Li Qingshan and Taoist Dragon came to a huge palace.
There were many people in this palace. They were all people who had been waiting outside before. Probably more than half of the Immortal Kings in the
Immortal Plane had come. There were so many Immortal Kings and even more Era Immortals, yet the palace didn’t seem crowded at all. This indicated just how immense this palace truly was.
Seeing so many Immortal Kings, Taoist Dragon also shrank back. He didn’t dare to be arrogant anymore, so he obediently stood behind Li Qingshan. “Damn it, I was just amid a battlefield slaughter.” “I saw the grand scene when the Celestial Court was first established.”
“I saw the development of the Celestial Court.”
“I saw the battle between the Gouchen Emperor and the Qinling Emperor.”
“I saw the Gouchen Emperor holding a strand of azure hair and staring at it under the moon.”
The crowd conversed and exchanged the scenes they had just witnessed. Li Qingshan listened and raised an eyebrow as he said, “These are all part of the experiences of the Gouchen Emperor when he was alive.”
Taoist Dragon nodded and felt fortunate as he said, “We were the first to come in, so we saw the most beautiful moments of the Gouchen Emperor.”
Li Qingshan thought of the endless sea of flowers and the cozy little wooden hut. He couldn’t help but nod.
That was indeed the warmest part of the Gouchen Emperor’s memories.
After everyone talked, they looked at the center of the hall.
There was a coffin there.
Seeing this, Taoist Dragon was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He communicated telepathically in a choked voice, “The Gouchen Emperor did exactly as he said, he left his coffin in the center of the hall after his death. He was respected by all the people.”
Li Qingshan watched calmly. He felt that something was amiss.
The Gouchen Emperor’s Path of the Immortal King and the Path of the Emperor had yet to be seen.
On the contrary, more than half of the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Plane had gathered here.
With so many people gathered here, Li Qingshan extinguished his desire to seize the path of the Immortal King.
He slowly stepped back, not wanting to get too close..
