Chapter 851: The Vastness of the World
leaves in the next two days and passes through other islands along the way, he may still encounter members of the Ziting Sect, or even people from the Zhuaimo Valley School. Today, he avoided being d...Beneath the precipice, that solitary grave stood, it was Su Qing's tomb. And sitting on the ground beside the grave, with hair now white and face etched with wrinkles, was the old man who had fought against Lu Xiaotian in those days and also fought side by side with him - Luo Qian.
But once he stepped out, there would definitely be Luo Qian, the arrogant Su Qing who was always by his side, but now she was gone. After a long separation of years, things in the world were vast and uncertain!
"Brother Luo," Seeing the former arrogance, later gradually becoming calm and dignified Luo Qian this withered appearance, Lu Xia Tian sighed softly.
“After so many years, Senior Brother Lu is still as imposing and dignified as ever, even more so than before.” Luo Qian’s face, etched with wrinkles, broke into a smile upon seeing his old friend. “If Junior Sister Su knew that Senior Brother Lu was safe and well, she would surely be overjoyed.”
"What happened to Su's little sister"
Lu Xiaoxian's melancholy instantly transformed into a cold and violent killing intent. Birds in the mountains scattered in fright, and beasts fled in panic. Although Lu Xiaoxian had successfully resolved the overwhelming killing intent from slaying countless Jindan-level monsters outside Danwang City years ago due to his improved state of mind, the excessive ruthlessness was not something he could completely erase.
Just because of the elevation of his state of mind, Lu Xia Tian was no longer affected by that overwhelming murderous aura. Instead, he turned a part of it into his own use. At this moment, as memories flooded back, the suddenly appearing murderous aura was like stormy waves crashing on shore, churning within Si Qing Cliff and surging straight up to the heavens.
“Brother Luo, your cultivation has reached such a level” Luo Qian was full of astonishment. Although Lu Xiaoteng was brilliant and powerful back then, he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. After entering the Golden Core stage, it was completely different from the Foundation Establishment stage. Luo Qian thought that Lu Xiaoteng had already condensed his golden core, but he never expected that Lu Xiaoteng’s profound magic power far surpassed him, who was in the later stage of the Golden Core.
"Well then, the revenge for Junior Sister Su's death is finally within reach. Senior Brother Lu, this junior brother is incompetent. Junior Sister Su died at the hands of those bandit cultivators, and yet all I could do was drag this broken body to guard this valley alone."
After expressing a few words of greeting, Luo Qian suddenly burst into loud sobs. The old man who looked like his hair had turned white from years of hardship now seemed like a child again.

Lu Xiaottian sighed with emotion. Luo Qian could also be considered a talent. His time to form the Golden Core was probably not much different from his own, and now he had already reached the later stage of the Golden Core. Among cultivators of the same level, even if he wasn't the most outstanding, he was definitely among the top tier. Such a person used his feelings so deeply that Su Qing's death dealt such a heavy blow to Luo Qian.
Through Lu Qian's account, Lu Xia Tian learned that one and a half decades ago, Wu Yan had attacked the Jindan realm and perished in the tribulation. Zhu Ling, Leng Qiao Yu, and others had become wives. Peng Dayou's life and death were unknown, most likely having fallen on the enemy side.
In this two-hundred-year-long war in the Xianxiu world, many Jindan cultivators perished in the chaos. Lei Wantian was seriously injured and hadn't fully recovered, but he only had forty to fifty years of lifespan left.
As for Su Qing, it was because of the Battle of Moonlit City that she and Su Hongchou were besieged by several Jindan cultivators from the Nanhuang Bandit Sect, both falling in succession. Su Qing's remains were never recovered. The Battle of Moonlit City was too brutal; even living people were neglected, let alone the fallen. Perhaps her body was taken by demonic beasts, or perhaps her bones were completely gone. All this nearly drove Luo Qian insane.
Later, Luo Qian sought out an opportunity to fight Jie Wuya of the Robbing Birth Sect to avenge Su Qing. The battle lasted hundreds of rounds, a brutal clash that left Luo Qian destroying half of Jie Wuya's body, but also being wounded by Jie Wuya's Robbing Birth Gu. This greatly shortened Luo Qian's lifespan. After this battle, the Robbing Birth Gu took root within Luo Qian's body. The Gu itself was harmless and wouldn't attack its host. However, every time Luo Qian fought after that, he would not only consume his magical power but also his life force, his lifespan.
After that battle, Luo Qian was still at his peak. However, after returning to Lingxiao Palace and experiencing two more battles, his lifespan was greatly reduced, and he had become very old. Looking at Luo Qian's current state, I'm afraid if he fought a few more times, his lifespan would be completely depleted, and there would be no way to recover.
"Even Patriarch Gongmen has no solution" Lu Xiaoxiao spoke, inquiring about Luo Qian's situation. Luo Qian possessed extraordinary talent; at this age, he had already reached the late stage of Jindan. In the entire Lingxiao Palace, he would undoubtedly be a key figure for cultivation. As Lingxiao Palace ranked among the top forces in the Xiangyue Cultivation World, it naturally wouldn't lack Yuan Ying Ancestors, the kind that stabilized a sect's foundation.
Lu Xia Tian didn't believe that Luo Qian, a cultivator who was highly likely to impact the Yuan Ying stage, wouldn't be taken seriously by a Yuan Ying ancestor. Especially in this era of war, an extra Yuan Ying ancestor, although unable to directly participate in the Xian Xiu world's chaos, would provide far greater stability to people's hearts than a Jindan cultivator could.
"I've already seen it. Even Jie Sheng Gu, who is the Yuan Ying ancestor, couldn't do anything about it. Perhaps the ancestor didn't want to put in that effort either." Luo Qian smiled helplessly, with a hint of nonchalance on his face. "But it doesn't matter, living another day means I can guard my Junior Sister Su's grave. Even if I die, I can go find her in the underworld."
Lu Xiaitian fell silent for a moment. He had given his heart fully, and Luo Qian was the first person he had ever loved so deeply.
"Lu Shixiong, where have you been all these years" Luo Qian asked, he cared about this question very much, even Luo Qian had some thoughts in his heart. With Lu Xiaoteng's abilities, if he was in the battle of Wangyue City back then, would the result be different
"To make a long story short, after the Battle of Zhan Yuetai, I was preparing to return to Wangyue City when I encountered Zhou Tong, a Jindan cultivator from the Wangyue Realm, pursuing me. I narrowly escaped with my life, but by chance and misfortune, I was teleported to another cultivation world through a transmission array. I went through many things there until these past two days, when I finally returned to the Wangyue Mountains and then immediately rushed back to Lingxiao Palace. Unexpectedly, so much has happened." Lu Xiaoteng sighed.
"Damn it all!" Luo Qian's white hair flew wildly as he shouted, though he had never witnessed it himself, Luo Qian could fully imagine how perilous it must have been for Lu Xiaitian, a mere Qi Refining cultivator, to escape the clutches of a Golden Core cultivator. He couldn't even begin to fathom the difficulty of such a feat if he were in Lu Xiaitian's place.
Luo Qian didn't even dare to think about it. If Lu Xia Tian was there, with his ability to dominate his peers and even fight across levels, Su Qing would have never died tragically in her early years. It wasn't just Lu Xia Tian's fate, but because of Su Qing, Luo Qian also hated Zhou Tong.
“Enraged!” Lu Xiaoxiao felt that Luo Qian’s aura surged after his body's functions seemed to have undergone some subtle changes, and he whispered.
Luo Qian waved his hand, his imposing manner subsiding. The departed had already departed, and Su Qing could no longer retrieve them. "Senior Brother Lu, don't worry about me. This broken body of mine can't last for many years anyway. Living one more day or one less day makes no difference to me. As for Junior Sister Su's revenge, I can only count on you."
