Chapter 863 Gift of Treasure and Parting

Luo Yuantian finally understood why Lu Qing had suddenly become angry and told him to get down.

It turned out that it was because of the Five Treasures Taoist and others.

He immediately felt extremely annoyed.

Unexpectedly, this oversight caused Lu Qing to become so angry.

Too many things have happened over the years, and he has been busy with the resurrection of the Holy Alliance elders.

After the elders were resurrected, they all went into seclusion to recover their cultivation levels.

Later, the old demons, including Mo Cangtian, suddenly arrived and waited outside the Tianyuan Great World, keeping his mind constantly on edge.

More importantly, as the leader of the Holy Alliance and a powerful being in the Dao Integration Realm, he ultimately didn't take the Golden Core Realm cultivators like the Five Treasures Daoist too seriously.

Moreover, in his subconscious, he believed that the Five Treasures Taoist and other cultivators would definitely follow Lu Qing in the future and probably would not stay in the Tianyuan Great World.

Therefore, he forgot about it.

Thinking of this, Luo Yuantian quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, this was my oversight!"
"Don't worry, once I get back, I will immediately announce it to the world and clear Fellow Daoist Wu Bao's name."

At the same time, our Holy Alliance will provide them with sufficient compensation to make up for the grievances they have suffered over the years!

"Remember this, this is the last time I'm giving you a chance. Don't think that just because I'm easy to talk to, you can keep challenging my bottom line. Or do you think I'd mind killing a few more Dao Integration Realm cultivators?" Lu Qing said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuantian's expression changed drastically. At the same time, the Xuan Tu Golden Dragon and Yuan Mo, who had been watching this scene from outside the World Membrane, also felt their hearts pounding wildly.

Because they heard Lu Qing use the word "you".

Clearly, his words were not only directed at Luo Yuantian, but also at them.

Having realized this, the two Dao Integration Realm experts knew they could no longer remain silent.

Immediately, their divine senses trembled, and they transmitted their voices in unison: "Your Majesty, rest assured, our two clans will never show the slightest disrespect to Daoist Wubao and the others in the future. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Xuan Tu Jinlong and Yuan Mo made up their minds that after this matter, they would immediately issue a death order to their clan: no matter what, they must never offend the Five Treasures Taoist and others again.

Lu Qing's chilling warning hung in the air, like an invisible mountain pressing down on the surrounding experts, making it hard for them to breathe.

Only after a few breaths did the chilling pressure subside slightly, and Luo Yuantian's heart, which had been hanging in his throat, finally settled back into his chest.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, his back already soaked with cold sweat. The dignity of a Dao Integration Realm expert had vanished in the face of absolute power, leaving only a heart full of lingering fear and relief.

Lu Qing's words just now, "Kill a few more Dao Integration Realm cultivators," were no exaggeration. Looking across the entire Tianyuan Great World, no one understood the terror of this young man in blue robes better than these few.

After all, on that day, even the six senior Dao Integration Realm demons, including Mo Cangtian of the Black and White Temple, were easily killed by Lu Qing.

He and the Xuan Tu Jin Long still had feathers, but they were only at the initial stage of the Dao Integration Realm.

In front of Lu Qing, they probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single finger of his.

“Fellow Daoist Lu Qing, I was indeed confused and careless today, which led to a serious mistake. Rest assured, I will immediately announce this to all the human realms upon my return, to thoroughly clear the name of Daoist Wubao and the others, and to investigate the framing incident thoroughly. No one involved will escape.”

Luo Yuantian said sincerely, "I will not be ambiguous about compensation. As for rare and precious materials, cultivation techniques, secret realms, and special privileges of the Holy Alliance, as long as Daoist Wubao and the others ask for them, our Holy Alliance will do its best to satisfy them as an apology."

Lu Qing nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

These compensations were meaningless to him, but very useful to Wu Bao Daoshi and Qin Zheng and others.

Seeing that Lu Qing was no longer pursuing the matter, Luo Yuantian felt as if he had been granted a pardon and bowed again, saying, "Then I will return to the Holy Alliance to handle all matters without delay. Fellow Daoist, please rest assured."

As soon as he finished speaking, he dared not linger. With a flicker of his body, he transformed into a streak of light and sped away, fearing that if he stayed any longer, he would anger this fiend.

Outside the world's membrane, the Xuan Tu Golden Dragon and the Yuan Demon also breathed a sigh of relief.

The two bowed in the direction of Lu Qing, not even daring to show themselves. They immediately concealed their auras and transformed into two streaks of light, one golden and one black, before disappearing into their own spatial cave.

Then he sent his divine sense avatars to the Demon Realm and the Monster Realm. The first thing he did upon returning was to strictly order his clan members that they must keep their distance from the Five Treasures Taoists and their party in the future, and never provoke them.

In an instant, the tense atmosphere of heaven and earth slowly dissipated, and the sky above the Tianyuan Great World finally returned to its usual calm.

Lu Qing turned around and looked at the Five Treasures Taoist beside him. The coldness in his eyes had completely disappeared, leaving only his usual peace.

Xiao Yan stood obediently beside Lu Qing, while Xiao Li remained perched on Lu Qing's shoulder, without disturbing anyone else.

The Five Treasures Taoist patted the dust off his robe, gave a wry smile, stepped forward, and once again expressed his immense gratitude: "Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Lu Qing turned around, his gaze falling on the Five Treasures Taoist, his tone softening slightly.

"Daoist Master, now that your injustice has been cleared and the Holy Alliance will compensate you, no one in the Tianyuan Great World will dare to bully you again. What are your plans for the future?"

The Five Treasures Taoist's lips moved slightly, but he ultimately did not reveal his whereabouts.

Instead, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Lu, are you... leaving?"

Lu Qing looked at him and did not hide anything: "My affairs in the Tianyuan Great World have been settled. Xiao Yan and Xiao Li have also successfully transcended their tribulations and formed their primordial spirits. It is time for us to leave."

Upon hearing this, the Five Treasures Taoist felt a sudden sinking feeling in his heart, and an indescribable sadness instantly welled up in his mind and spread throughout his body.

He had long anticipated this day, but when it finally arrived, he still felt empty inside, as if he had lost his most important support.

He longed to ask Lu Qing to take him with him, even if it meant being a servant who brought him tea and water, or following him around forever; he would be willing to do so.

He had long been tired of the deceit and intrigue of the Tianyuan Great World. This hometown where he was born and raised had long become a place of sorrow for him.

The humiliation of the prison, the betrayal of his fellow disciples, and the misunderstanding of the world had long since worn away any last trace of his attachment to this place.

But he swallowed the words back down his throat.

He has a sense of propriety and is self-aware.

Lu Qing's identity and origins are shrouded in mystery. Such a person must come from a supreme world beyond the stars and harbor earth-shattering secrets.

Lu Qing has never mentioned his past or revealed his true identity, clearly because he doesn't want outsiders to know or follow him.

He was merely a minor Golden Core cultivator, insignificant as dust before Lu Qing. If he rashly asked to follow him, not only would he not get his wish, but he would also annoy Lu Qing and completely destroy any remaining affection between them.

He, the Five Treasures Taoist, still possessed this sense of propriety.

Taking a deep breath to suppress the reluctance and sadness in his heart, the Five Treasures Taoist slowly lowered his head, his tone carrying a hint of loneliness, yet extremely firm: "Since you have decided to leave, fellow Daoist, then I will not try to persuade you to stay any longer."

Xiao Dao plans to find a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion, focusing on his practice and detached from worldly affairs.

If I am fortunate enough to break through this shackle and achieve the Nascent Soul Realm in the future, I will leave this Tianyuan Great World and travel to the endless starry sky to see the world outside. That would make my life worthwhile.

He didn't say he was reluctant to leave, but simply explained his plans in detail. Yet, anyone could hear the loneliness in his words.

Looking at the Taoist priest before him, who had endured countless hardships yet retained his true nature, Lu Qing felt a slight stirring in his heart. Although the Five Treasures Taoist priest was not highly skilled, he was kind-hearted and valued loyalty and righteousness.

Since he is an old friend, and someone I saved, I should give him something in return now that we are parting.

Lu Qing raised his hand, and a faint blue light emanated from his fingertips. As the light swirled, two objects slowly emerged.

First, there is an ancient scroll, inscribed with mysterious runes, exuding a Daoist charm. It is a profound cultivation technique called "Hun Yuan Dao Jing".

This is a cultivation technique he obtained from the Holy Alliance's Cultivation Technique Hall. It is one of the most profound techniques there, capable of directly leading to the Dao Integration stage.

Secondly, it is an exquisite pagoda, no more than three inches tall, yet adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, exuding auspicious energy, and appearing extremely delicate.

"Take this scroll of the Primordial Dao Scripture and cultivate it diligently. It will be enough to help you break through the barrier of the Primordial Spirit Realm and step into a higher realm. This exquisite pagoda is quite compatible with you. It is a mid-grade spiritual artifact that can be used as a protective treasure. In the future, when you travel the world, no one will be able to harm your life."

Lu Qing flicked his finger, and the scroll and the exquisite pagoda slowly floated towards the Five Treasures Taoist.

"We part today, and in the vast starry sky to come, if fate allows, we will meet again."

The Five Treasures Taoist priest received the cultivation manual and magic weapon with trembling hands, feeling the Taoist charm and immense power contained within them, his body shaking slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is far too precious."

"Get up," Lu Qing said with a smile. "These things are of no use to me. They're just gathering dust in my hands. You can cherish them in the future."

The Five Treasures Taoist stood up, tightly clutching the cultivation manual and magic weapon. Looking at Lu Qing's figure, he felt extremely reluctant to part, but he also knew that separation was imminent. He nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, take care on your journey!"

"Ah."

Lu Qing nodded slightly, said no more, turned around and with a flick of his sleeve, he took Xiao Yan and Xiao Li and transformed into a streak of azure light, disappearing instantly.

When they reappeared, they were already in an underground cave.

The Five Treasures Taoist stood there, gazing at the spot where Lu Qing had disappeared. He remained there for a long time until the spatial fluctuations subsided. Only then did he slowly withdraw his gaze, clutching the cultivation manual and magical treasures in his arms. He then turned and headed towards the distant deep mountains, where he went into seclusion to cultivate and never again concern himself with worldly disputes.

……

Lu Qing, along with Xiao Yan and Xiao Li, used spatial teleportation to return to the underground cave.

Although the underground cave is extremely far from the continent where the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect is located, for Lu Qing now, it is only a distance that can be crossed in the blink of an eye.

The underground cave, hidden ten thousand feet below the earth, is shrouded in supreme restrictions, making it difficult even for a Dao Integration Realm expert to enter.

Lu Qing stepped into the cave and swept his divine sense over the secluded cultivation areas of Qin Zheng, Ye Qingzhu, and the others.

Everyone was in deep seclusion, their auras were calm, and their cultivation had all made considerable progress.

He raised his hand and waved, and a divine thought spread out, enveloping the entire cave: "Everyone, wake up."

This divine thought, like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, was soft yet irresistible, instantly entering everyone's sea of ​​consciousness.

Qin Zheng and the others, who were in seclusion, shuddered and awoke from their meditation. They opened their eyes, got up, and headed towards the center of the cave.

Qin Zheng was dressed in black with a resolute face. After years of seclusion, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm, and he was only one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm.

Ye Qingzhu was dressed in a green dress, with a cool and aloof temperament and a gentle look in her eyes. Her cultivation had also improved rapidly, reaching the peak of the eighth level of the Golden Core realm.

As for Chu Xiaojing and the others, they have also made breakthroughs, clearly having digested much of what they learned from watching Xiaoyan and the others undergo their tribulations that day.

"Fellow Daoist Lu."

Upon seeing Lu Qing, everyone bowed respectfully, their tone unconsciously filled with awe and gratitude.

Lu Qing nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and slowly said, "I woke you up today to tell you two things."

"Firstly, the injustice done to the Five Treasures Taoist has been cleared."

Luo Yuantian has promised that upon returning to the Holy Alliance, he will announce to the world that he will clear the Five Treasures Taoist and all of you of all the sins committed in the past.

From now on, in the Tianyuan Great World, no one, whether from the Holy Alliance or any other force, will dare to show you the slightest disrespect. You can cultivate in this world with peace of mind, without any worries.

Upon hearing this, everyone was invigorated, and their faces showed excitement.

Back then, they were betrayed by the sect leader of Qiankun Sect, captured and handed over to the Holy Alliance. They were accused of treason, colluding with evil spirits, and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, where they suffered endless torture. This injustice had weighed on their hearts like a boulder for many years. Now that it has finally been cleared, how could they not be excited?
"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Lu, for clearing our names. We will never forget your great kindness!"

Qin Zheng led the way, and everyone bowed again, their voices firm and resounding.

Lu Qing waved his hand and continued, "Secondly, my business in the Tianyuan Great World is finished, and Xiao Yan and Xiao Li have also successfully transcended their tribulations and achieved the Yuan Shen Realm."

I am about to leave the Tianyuan Great World and head to the depths of the starry sky.

The reason I woke you up today is to ask you what your plans are for the future.

His gaze fell on the crowd, and he said in a calm tone: "You were betrayed by the Qiankun Sect back then, but now your grievances have been cleared. If you want to return to the Qiankun Sect, I can also help you and make sure that the entire Qiankun Sect gives you an explanation."

If you don't want to go back, you can stay in the Tianyuan Great World. The Holy Alliance won't dare to make things difficult for you anymore; you can choose where to go yourself.

Return to Qiankun Sect?
Upon hearing this, the excitement on everyone's faces vanished instantly, replaced by coldness and disappointment.

The Qiankun Sect was the sect where they had cultivated for many years, a place they once considered home.

In the end, it was their revered sect leader who, in order to preserve the sect and to curry favor with the Holy Alliance, was the one who...

He personally captured them, crippled some of their cultivation, and handed them over to the Holy Alliance for disposal, leaving them to fend for themselves in the Heavenly Prison.

Back then, Ye Qingzhu's master was severely injured by the sect leader and a group of elders for opposing the sect leader's decision to hand them over. He was forced to escape and his whereabouts and fate have been unknown ever since.

This betrayal, this humiliation, is etched into my bones and will never be forgotten.

How could they possibly return to the Qiankun Sect?

After a moment, Qin Zheng raised his head: "Fellow Daoist Lu, I have severed all ties with the Qiankun Sect and have no intention of going back."

“That’s right!” Ye Qingzhu also spoke up, a hint of hatred in her cold eyes, “It’s better not to go back to a sect like this!”

Chu Xiaojing and the others nodded in unison, their voices firm: "We swear we will never return to the Qiankun Sect. From this day forward, we will leave the Qiankun Sect and become independent cultivators. We will never set foot in the Qiankun Sect again!"

Seeing the resolute expressions on everyone's faces, Lu Qing nodded.

Qin Zheng and the others' decision did not surprise him.

So after nodding, he said, "In that case, I will give you this underground cave dwelling."

"Give us this cave dwelling?" Qin Zheng and the others were taken aback.

“That’s right. I’m about to leave the Tianyuan Great World. There’s no use for this cave dwelling. I might as well give it to you to cultivate in.”

"But, Fellow Daoist Lu, this is far too precious. We are unworthy to accept such a generous gift," Qin Zheng said, somewhat apprehensively.

It wasn't that he was making a pretense of refusing; rather, he was fully aware of just how precious the cave where they were currently in seclusion truly was.

It should be noted that this underground cave was personally built by Lu Qing.

It is equipped with numerous profound formations, providing multiple layers of protection. It can be said that any one of these formations could easily kill a Nascent Soul Realm expert.

It is far more powerful than the protective formations of those top sects outside.

The combination of numerous formations is so powerful that even a Dao Realm expert can withstand it.

Such a cave is priceless. If the top sects knew about it, they would probably try every means to seize it.

Now that Lu Qing was saying he wanted to give it to them, how could Qin Zheng not be extremely apprehensive?

"It's alright, you can take it. It'll give you a place to stay in the future," Lu Qing waved his hand dismissively.

Seeing Lu Qing's resolute attitude, Qin Zheng could only sigh and bow gratefully in thanks.

"Then, we'll shamelessly accept it."
