Full-time sword repair

Perhaps because she was thinking of the past, Gu Qingcheng's sharpness subsided. She turned around and paced, looking at the bright moon above her head, with a wry smile on her face, like someone who hadn't chatted with anyone for a long time and suddenly opened up.

"To tell you the truth, when I was young, I was not afraid of death at all. I only thought about being an immortal cultivator, not caring about life and death. I just did what I wanted to do. So I always acted recklessly and caused a lot of trouble for my father and the sect, but I still did what I wanted."

"At that time, I always felt that I had my father and the sect as my backers. There was no one in the world that I, Gu Qingcheng, dared not offend, and there was no thing that I, Gu Qingcheng, dared not do. I was like a dandy boy, and every day I was either causing trouble or on my way to causing trouble."

"It was not until my trip to the ghost world that I realized that there are consequences for doing things. There are countless people in this world who are stronger than my father and the Dharma Master. I am just a spoiled frog in the well."

"When I brought back the soul of Ming Ji, I thought that if I couldn't save her, I would rather die with her. After all, the disaster I caused this time was so serious. I didn't want my father and Fa Zong to fight for me again. I also knew that they couldn't fight anymore. Perhaps only death can resolve the anger of the ghosts."

"At that time, I had already made up my mind to die, and I also really started to practice seriously. It was also because of my good luck that after a hundred years, I achieved the state of Yuhua, and led the Yuanji Fa Sect to leap from a first-rate sect to a super sect."

"I used to be not afraid of death, but now I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I am a little afraid of death. Not really, I'm afraid death is a small matter. But if I'm not here, I'm afraid that there will be no one to take up the responsibility of my Yuanji Sect for the time being."

Gu Qingcheng looked a little lonely as she spoke, and sighed, "Although the great elders of the sect are all strong, their strength can only be considered first-rate. If compared with those top strong men, they cannot compare. The sect needs a real 'stabilizing force'. Besides, they are all old, including my father."

Seeing this, Lin Jichen interrupted and said, "How could that be? Your Law Sect has produced many geniuses, many of whom will be the absolute strongest in the future."

Gu Qingcheng smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Of course I know this. Take Ling Bing and Luo Yu for example. Their future achievements will definitely not be inferior to mine. Unfortunately, that is in the future. I am afraid that I will not be able to wait until the day when they truly grow up..."

"Also, I'm afraid that if I die, my father will be very sad. I don't want him to die alone... Alas..."

Speaking of this, Gu Qingcheng's eyes were filled with sadness.

It was the first time that Lin Ji Chen saw the head of the Fa Sect in such an expression. In the past, Gu Qingcheng always looked high-spirited, impetuous, and domineering.

He felt unfamiliar with Gu Qingcheng as she was now.

He comforted him, "Master Gu, there is no need for you to be so discouraged. The Heavenly Dao is backlashing. As long as you enter the realm of immortality, you can wipe out the power of the Heavenly Dao with your bare hands and rewrite your son's fate."

Gu Qingcheng looked at Lin Jichen, her eyes seemed to be surprised at his "innocence".

"How can it be that easy? Do you know how difficult it is to reach the immortal realm? In the past hundreds of thousands of years, there has not been a single immortal master in the Eight Wastelands. Even the amazingly talented Emperor Huangquan of the Ghost Clan failed to break through the last step of the immortal realm and died. He was recognized by the entire Eight Wastelands as the most promising genius to enter the immortal realm, but he still failed."

"Only Zhu Jiuyin succeeded. Actually, it was not considered successful. It just relied on the powerful dragon physique and the luck of the entire dragon clan to sneakily avoid the calamity. But the subsequent backlash from the heavens made it unconscious for a thousand years. It was really retribution."

Lin Jichen asked in surprise: "Isn't Zhu Jiuyin recognized as a person who has reached the immortal realm? How can this be considered as cheating?"

Gu Qingcheng patiently explained, "It's normal that you don't know. This is the biggest secret of the dragon race. I learned it from an old ice dragon on the top of the iceberg in the Four Directions Sea."

"That old ice dragon wouldn't be called Ao Qinhan, right?"

"Yes, it seems that you have also been to the Four Directions Sea."

Gu Qingcheng nodded and continued, "Back then, I went there for some rare treasures that I could use to overcome my calamity. I ran into this old ice dragon and got a shocking secret out of it."

"What secret?" Lin Ji Chen was full of curiosity.

"Normally, I don't have to tell you, but since you've come all the way here to tell me the secret of your precious son, I'll tell you."

Gu Qingcheng paused for a moment before telling a very big secret about the dragon clan!

It turns out that a thousand years ago, although Zhu Jiuyin was the strongest among the Zhulong clan, he was not the strongest among the entire dragon clan. The Dragon King of the Holy Dragon clan was the ruler of the dragon clan.

However, because the Holy Dragon King had a hidden illness, his realm had been stuck at the peak of enlightenment, and he was never able to break through and ascend to immortality.

The Holy Dragon King takes good care of his own people and acts like a family head. He always encourages and helps other members of his people to become stronger.

Zhu Jiuyin was cared for and trained by the Holy Dragon King, and only then did he step by step reach the peak of the realm of immortality. Finally, he touched the threshold of the Heavenly Dao, and encountered the calamity of ascending to immortality.

In order to increase his confidence, Zhu Jiuyin not only tricked the Holy Dragon King into protecting him, but also absorbed most of the luck of the entire dragon clan.

It promised all the dragons that once it ascended to heaven, it would lead the dragon clan to glory, help the Holy Dragon King cure his hidden illness, help him eliminate the suppression of heaven, and take him to heaven together.

The Holy Dragon King trusted it, and personally called on all the dragons to use their entire clan's strength to help Zhu Jiuyin overcome the calamity. Almost all the dragons donated their hardest dragon scales and dragon blood to create a holy weapon 'Ten Thousand Dragon Armor' and a holy treasure 'Ten Thousand Dragon Heart' for it.

Relying on these two holy artifacts, Zhu Jiuyin chose to survive the tribulation. Although he survived the previous thunder tribulations, he had no confidence in the last one.

At the most critical moment, it chose to draw the thunder tribulation to the Holy Dragon King, causing the Holy Dragon King to be killed instantly, while it luckily escaped the final heavenly tribulation.

However, because he tried to escape the thunder tribulation, he suffered a strong backlash from the Heavenly Dao, and Zhu Jiuyin, who had already stepped one foot into the threshold of becoming an immortal, was almost wiped out by the Heavenly Dao.

Fortunately, he was protected by the Ten Thousand Dragon Armor and the Ten Thousand Dragon Heart, so he was able to save his life, but he was still seriously injured and on the verge of death. He was forced to hide away and recuperate for a full thousand years.

Lin Ji Chen was also shocked after listening to Gu Qingcheng's description. He didn't expect that the Dragon Clan had such a big scandal, and Zhu Jiuyin successfully survived the tribulation in this way.

"This sounds too unbelievable..."

Gu Qingcheng snorted softly, "I didn't believe it when I first heard it, but if a powerful immortal who successfully transcended the tribulation had to sleep for a thousand years like Zhu Jiuyin, if he really could have survived it by himself, he would have already roamed the world."
