Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 381 Going and Returning

He was at most a Xiantian master at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining...

So, it's unclear whether these so-called "divine masters" have even reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

The level of cultivation in this world seems a bit low.

It's a continent after all, so how come the immortal civilization has degenerated so severely?
Zhou Qing thought to himself, "I'll have to explore this later. For now, I'll just leave an anchor point in this world."

With his strength, dealing with that wicked disciple named Hu Dalin would be a piece of cake.

However, solving problems too easily might not earn him respect, nor would it make it easier for him to recruit this young girl named Tan Qian to his side.

He thought for a moment and said, "It's not difficult for me to help you repel the enemy."

Tan Qian exclaimed with delight, "Really? How about I take you to see Father right away?"

"Wait a minute."

Zhou Qing said, "That wicked disciple is far stronger than you, but I see him as nothing more than an ant."

"Unfortunately, my power cannot easily descend upon this world, yet I am powerless against him."

Tan Qian asked, "Why is this happening? Aren't you a god?"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "That's because you don't know how far I am from here."

"Even if the person with the best lightness skill in your Heavenly Blade Sect could walk from morning till night and from night till morning without sleep, and walk like this for a year, it would be like a grain of sand."

"If you want to reach me, even if you emptied the entire world of sand, it wouldn't be enough. Even with my supernatural powers, it would be extremely difficult to traverse such a vast distance."

This was the first time Tan Qian had heard such a grand description, and he was immediately filled with a sense of awe.

She asked, "In that case, how can you help me?"

Zhou Qing said, "For my power to descend upon this world, I need a medium. I can exert my power through your body, but to achieve this, you need to sincerely believe in me."

Tan Qian asked, "Believe in what?"

Zhou Qing said, "Believe me, I can help you get rid of all your suffering."

Tan Qian hurriedly replied, "I believe you!"

"Talking about it is useless."

Zhou Qing said, "Your belief is not strong enough to cross infinite distances and establish contact with me, so I can't help you."

Tan Qian's beautiful eyebrows furrowed as she asked, "What constitutes strong conviction?"

Zhou Qing said, "You'll have to find it yourself. I believe that as long as you truly care about your father and your fellow disciples in the Heavenly Blade Sect, you'll be able to do it soon."

After saying that, Zhou Qing's voice gradually faded away.

"Hey, are you still there?"

Tan Qian asked a couple of questions in a low voice, but the deity named Zhou Qing did not respond.

She sat on the edge of the cliff, troubled, wondering, what exactly constitutes a strong belief?

Tan Qian sat on the back mountain for half the night, but finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and went back to her boudoir to rest.

The next day at noon, Tan Yuan called his daughter to his study. The four disciples of the fourth generation were already there, all carrying light bundles filled with valuables, clearly ready to descend the mountain.

Tan Qian said, "Father, I don't want to go down the mountain. I want to face the powerful enemy with you!"

Tan Yuan said, "Qianqian, you are too young. These things are not for you to face. Go down the mountain with your four senior brothers and live a good life in anonymity. Don't think about revenge."

Tan Qian hurriedly said, "Father, I have a way, I know someone..."

Before she could finish speaking, Tan Yuan suddenly reached out and touched her forehead. Tan Qian's eyes rolled back, and they drooped softly.

Tan Yuan caught his daughter and handed her to his eldest disciple, Hu Wending, saying solemnly, "I'm entrusting Qianqian to you."

The four disciples all nodded sadly, kowtowed three times to their master, and then reluctantly went down the mountain.

The four of them descended Yuquan Mountain and headed towards a secluded place. It wasn't until noon the next day that Tan Qian slowly woke up.

She saw herself lying on a flat rock, surrounded by dense jungle, with her four senior brothers positioned in different directions, protecting her in the middle.

She immediately realized that she was far away from Yuquan Mountain.

Tan Qian was furious and said, "You four cowards! How has your father treated you all this time? Now that he is facing a powerful enemy, you abandon him. Do you have any conscience at all?"

The four disciples were filled with shame by her words.

The eldest disciple, Hu Wending, said, "We dare not argue with our junior sister's scolding. In truth, we never wanted to leave."

“But with Junior Sister here, and you being Master’s only bloodline, if we all go with Master, who will protect you when that wicked disciple hunts you down?”

"For this reason, we have no choice but to leave our master with a heavy heart."

"Actually, ever since we came down the mountain, the four of us have been tormented at every moment."

Tan Qian thought to herself, "Useless thing. You can't do anything about it, but I might not be able to. If I could get help from that god, what would that wicked disciple be?"

Thinking of this, Tan Qian suddenly realized that she hadn't heard the voice of that god for a long time, and wondered if he was still watching over her.

Tan Qian looked around and asked, "Are you... are you still there?"

No one responded to her.

Tan Qian's heart sank immediately.

The four senior brothers looked at their junior sister with a puzzled expression and asked, "Junior sister, who are you asking?"

Tan Qian shook his head dejectedly and said, "Nobody."

Second Senior Brother Yang Wenchang said, "Brothers, if you've rested well, let's hurry on our way. That wicked disciple should already be at the foot of Jade Spring Mountain. If he discovers that we're protecting Junior Sister and leaving, he'll send other demons to chase after us, and there will inevitably be a bloodbath."

The other fellow disciples all nodded, ready to set off.

Tan Qian shook her head and said, "No, I want to go back."

Yang Wenchang said urgently, "Junior Sister, don't be willful..."

“I’m not being willful,” Tan Qian interrupted him, saying, “If I weren’t a burden, you would go back to help Father, right?”

Yang Wenchang said, "Of course, our master raised us from childhood and taught us skills. His kindness to us is as heavy as a mountain. Even if it costs us our lives, we will fight alongside our master against the enemy."

Tan Qian nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's exactly right."

"This is all about righteousness. You are willing to lose your lives for the sake of righteousness. Can't I do the same?"

"Or must I become a coward who fears death, abandons my father, and lives alone—a heartless person?"

The four fellow disciples exchanged glances, all somewhat hesitant.

Finally, the eldest brother, Hu Wending, made a decision, saying, "Junior sister is right. Even if we escape, we won't be able to live happily in the future. It's better to turn back now and stand with Master."

The others agreed with him, so they decided to return immediately.

Yang Wenchang said with satisfaction, "In the past, we all thought of our junior sister as a child. It turns out that you have grown into a righteous and courageous woman without us even realizing it."

"We underestimated you."
