I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

They can see Dongqing's talent, but they can't see what Dongqing's state of mind is like. What you see on the surface may not be the truth, but you can trust the Taoist books.

Dongqing placed his hand on the book. After a gem on the book lit up, time passed by. After a few minutes, Dongqing was told to let go of his hand. The book began to turn the pages. Each page represented a different evil thought. The page Dongqing landed on indicated which aspect of his Daoist heart was impure.

Money, beauty, power, status—the list goes on and on.

The pages of the book kept turning, gripping the hearts of everyone present. In the end, it only paused for a moment on the page about killing and warfare. All the others passed smoothly, and finally the book lay down quietly, meaning that Dongqing had passed the test.

With her heart finally at ease, Feng Yuan looked at Bai Qingyu and said, "This child's talent is truly remarkable. It's a good thing that his Dao heart is slightly inclined towards killing. How can a swordsman always seek gentleness?"

“Let her come up the mountain with me to cultivate. I guarantee that her future achievements will not be lower than mine.”

"The world has never been peaceful. Chaos is about to begin. The more strength you have, the more you can protect yourself. Once her cultivation is complete, she can avoid the chaos and live in seclusion in the mountains where no one will bother her. What do you think, young lady?"

Since Dongqing has come, it means she is willing. As long as Bai Qingyu nods, she can immediately take Dongqing as her disciple.

·

The tent was dimly lit, making it impossible to see Bai Qingyu's expression. All that could be heard was her voice, "Dongqing, everyone should have their own life. I have my life, and you should have yours. I'll be waiting for you outside."

Without saying another word, Bai Qingyu left the tent and went outside to avoid the crowd. She stood in a quiet place behind the tent, where there were more than ten children who had been successfully selected. Looking at their innocent and naive appearance, Bai Qingyu sighed.

"A chaotic world..."

Feng Yuan was no ordinary person; the chaotic world she spoke of wasn't the turmoil of war in the mortal realm, but rather the chaos among cultivators. If that was the case, then she would approve of Dong Qing going up the mountain to cultivate. It was true that this might lead to being drawn into the chaos, but it was better than having no strength to protect oneself.

Feng Yuan certainly understood this better than she did, and she wouldn't let Dong Qing get involved.

A moment later, Bai Qingyu heard footsteps coming from behind.

Holly has arrived.

The process of becoming an apprentice was very simple, just like in the mortal world. A cup of tea was offered as an apprenticeship tea, and the disciple knelt down to greet the master. Feng Yuan nodded in agreement, presented her with a Taoist robe and jade token, and gave her a max-level spiritual weapon longsword. The female disciple was quite envious.

Feng Yuan wasn't particularly fond of formalities; a perfunctory ceremony was enough. After formally accepting Dong Qing as a disciple, he sent her out to say a final goodbye to Bai Qingyu.

Starting today, she is a disciple of Tianyang Palace, and the closed-door disciple of the peak master of Jinxu Peak.

For some reason, after Bai Qingyu made this decision, she was showered with a large amount of merit, which completely stunned her. She never expected such a thing to happen, and she couldn't understand why she would receive merit no matter how hard she tried.

What Bai Qingyu didn't know was that her decision indirectly saved the world.

The Demon Sword has emerged from the mountain, making its host more powerful than ever before. It is a far cry from the previous host's recklessness and irritability. The new host can be described as both intelligent and brave. Those who use their brains cannot defeat him, and those who can defeat him cannot outsmart him. The world will be in chaos in the future.

If Bai Qingyu possessed great supernatural powers and could see a glimpse of the future, she would surely discover that this great demon of the chaotic world was none other than her son, Liu Changsheng.

The only person who could keep this great demon in check, besides her irresponsible aunt, was Bai Dongqing, the new peak master of Jinxu Peak in Tianyang Palace.

She never dreamed that she would get two SSRs for free at the start of the game. At this moment, Bai Qingyu felt only reluctance, extremely reluctance. As the saying goes, how could she just abandon the child she raised? When the day of parting really came, she was even more heartbroken than Dong Qing.

It's no use feeling bad, so I took the small bundle from Dongqing and patted Dongqing on the shoulder.

Bai Qingyu hoped she could be happy, happy now and even happier in the future.

"Take care of yourself. Take this. If you have the chance to come down the mountain in the future, bring this to me." It was a red feather. Bai Qingyu only had black and white feathers on her body. This feather was stained with a drop of her blood essence.

With this, it won't be difficult for Dongqing to find her.

"Alright, just remember to take care of yourself." Bai Qingyu turned around; she didn't want to see Dong Qing cry.

"Auntie is going back first."

"Aunt, take care!" Dongqing said, her eyes filled with tears, staring blankly in the direction Bai Qingyu had left.

The small bundle on my back felt incredibly heavy at that moment, filled with memories of the past.

On the way back, Bai Qingyu seemed lost and dejected, as if she had lost her soul.

"That's just how people are. No one can truly do whatever they want. Love, hate, and separation are all lessons that we must experience in life. I hope that this lesson of separation will help her grow."

Muttering to himself, Bai Qingyu noticed that someone was following behind him; they were not ordinary people, but three cultivators.

Bai Qingyu thought these three people were probably here to slay demons. In reality, these three were disciples of the Demon Subduing Sect, specializing in killing and controlling demons. In the usual way of these small sects, once they controlled the demons, especially the female demons who had taken human form, no one would investigate if something really happened. The sect turned a blind eye to this.

With so many beautiful fairies, who can control their lower body? They're all a bunch of energetic young men, so they just don't care. As long as it improves their cultivation, they can do whatever they want.

When Bai Qingyu arrived, she swallowed the pills that Feng Yuan had given her to conceal her demonic energy. To outsiders, she appeared no different from an ordinary human. When she left, Dong Qing gave her a storage ring, saying that Feng Yuan had prepared some pills for her, also to suppress demonic power.

However, the people of the Demon Subduing Sect are different from other cultivators. They are much more experienced than the Tianyang Palace in manipulating demons. They couldn't sense Bai Qingyu's demonic power at first. It was only when they handed the Blood Feather to Dong Qing that they released a little demonic power.

These demonic powers were too weak; a gust of wind could disperse them. However, a disciple of the Demon Subduing Sect, seeing Bai Qing's beautiful appearance, tried using the Demon-Revealing Mirror to examine her and discovered that Bai Qing was a demon. He then followed her.

Bai Qingyu did not head towards home but instead headed out of the city.

I was in a bad mood, and yet someone still came to my door looking for trouble.

They quickly left the county town. Before Bai Qingyu could even speak, the three people behind him couldn't hold back any longer and surrounded him in a triangular formation.

"Hey! You monster, show your true form at once!"

"Hmph, daring to disrupt the peace of the mortal realm in broad daylight, let's see how this immortal will subdue you today!"

The two disciples revealed smug smiles, thinking that Bai Qingyu was already trapped and just waiting for them to capture her. They wondered if such a weak female demon could withstand the torment of the three strong men.

Bai Qingyu didn't bring an umbrella today. Instead of feeling flustered, he was filled with resentment. He had only one thought in his mind: to chop these three people up!

The cultivator in front didn't speak, but after a cold laugh, he took out a bell. The sound of the bell made Bai Qingyu even more irritated, and an impulse to revert to his original form arose in his heart.

The two disciples on the left and right were also quick-witted. Taking advantage of Bai Qingyu being controlled, they simultaneously threw out two demon-catching nets, one on the left and one on the right. The golden-red nets expanded instantly in the sky, trapping Bai Qingyu tightly. As soon as the nets were put out, Bai Qingyu's demonic power was suppressed.

Thinking they had succeeded so easily, they couldn't wait to go and enjoy themselves. Unexpectedly, Bai Qingyu suddenly erupted, transforming into his original form. The giant crane-bodied, phoenix-tailed bird demon, over ten meters tall, tore through the demon-catching net and appeared in the three's sight. Bai Qingyu's eyes were filled with madness.

"You, don't push your luck too far!"

Ping!

The demon-controlling bell shattered, leaving the three disciples dumbfounded.

Bai Qingyu had suppressed his aura with pills. They only knew that Bai Qingyu was a demon, but not a very strong one. They never expected that Bai Qingyu's true strength was enough to crush them.

"Do you really want to provoke me?"

......

Volume 1: Chapter 71 Farewell to Immortality (6K)

Boom!

Lightning illuminated the room in a blinding white light, followed by a muffled clap of thunder. Zhen Tian stood by the window, her eyes filled with worry as she looked out into the yard. The familiar figure who brought her warmth was nowhere to be seen. It was almost dark, and he had said he would be back by noon at the latest.

Looking back into the house, he saw Bai Qingyu's wooden umbrella hanging on the wall. After hesitating for a moment, he picked it up and found that it was unusually heavy. Moreover, the handle had been modified, and a sword could be drawn with a slight twist.

He opened the door, held up Bai Qingyu's umbrella, and braved the wind and rain to go find Bai Qingyu.

It was raining heavily outside. At noon, it was just overcast and not raining yet. But after noon, the sky suddenly became much darker, with thick dark clouds covering the sky. Within half an hour, a strong wind started to blow, followed by a downpour.

It's winter, and we even had a heavy snowfall a few days ago. This downpour really chilled us to the bone. I'm not afraid of the cold, but I especially hate rainy days.

She was about to go out with her umbrella when she saw a delicate figure slowly walking to the front of the yard. Upon seeing her, Zhen Tian quickly opened her umbrella and went out, completely disregarding the mud and water that had soaked her shoes and skirt.

"Sister Bai, Sister Bai!"

He opened the courtyard gate and saw Bai Qingyu standing outside, completely soaked.

Bai Qingyu looked up and saw Zhen Tian looking worried. She waved to Zhen Tian, ​​signaling her to go back first.

"Don't worry about me. I just got into a fight with three bastards. I dragged them into the river and they all drowned. What bad luck! I was in a bad mood and then I ran into these bastards. I really wanted to cut them into a thousand pieces."

Walking into the courtyard in the pouring rain, Bai Qingyu stood under the eaves and used her demonic power to evaporate the moisture from her body. Once she felt dry and much more comfortable, she was still muttering curses under her breath.

Zhen Tian felt helpless and wanted to comfort Bai Qingyu, but he didn't know where to start. The fact that Dong Qing didn't come back with her meant that Dong Qing had really left to learn swordsmanship from a master on Shenhua Mountain. Bringing it up now would only reopen her old wounds.

"Dongqing has already left and is setting off today. She was lucky to meet a good master, which makes me quite relieved. Such a good master really puts my mind at ease. Fortunately, she didn't meet any arrogant guys."

Bai Qingyu approved of Feng Yuan.

A brief encounter is enough to tell what kind of person someone is. At their level, there's basically no hypocrisy; they don't say one thing to your face and another behind your back, especially since Feng Yuan is a sword cultivator. As a sword cultivator, if you're too cunning and always trying to scheme against others, you won't go far.

So Dongqing was very lucky; Fengyuan took her as his disciple, and she was his only closed-door disciple.

"Moreover, they can reunite in the future. Feng Yuan promised her that after three years, she could come down the mountain once a year and reunite for a few days."

"I hope she can go further and further. By the way, what about Changsheng?"

At this point, Bai Qingyu finally realized something was wrong. There was no trace of Changsheng in his room, even though he should have stayed home today.

Bai Qingyu didn't go inside the house; she had already figured something out.

He paused abruptly, sighed, and walked to the room of immortality, pushing the doors open.

The room was spotless, but his clothes, shoes, and other belongings were all gone, leaving the room feeling somewhat empty.

really......

Bai Qingyu thought to himself.

Upon entering the room, they discovered a letter left on the table.

This is probably the only thing in the room that still retains his scent.

With trembling hands, he picked up the letter; it bore Changsheng's handwriting.

“Aunt, please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. Dongqing has gone up the mountain to seek a master, and I feel that it is time for me to leave as well. If I give birth to you but do not raise you, I can repay you with a severed finger, but if I do not give birth to you but raise you, I can never repay you with this life. I will never forget your kindness in raising me. I am leaving to prove my path, and I will surely return to fulfill my filial duty when I have achieved great success in my path.”

"Furthermore, I observed the celestial phenomena last night and had a feeling that the world will be in chaos within the next hundred years. This is why I am leaving. Without strength, one can only be slaughtered by others. I want to use my own hands and sword to protect you and Dongqing, so that I can still be free and unaffected when the world is in chaos in the future."

"In the days to come, Aunt need not worry. I have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage and am strong enough to travel the world. With the Demon Sword at my side, I have nothing to fear. I only hope that Aunt will take good care of herself and wait for my return."

"Liu Changsheng".

After reading the letter, Bai Qingyu gently folded it up and put it away, her eyes filled with nothing but emotion.

She had long anticipated that Changsheng would leave as well, but she never expected him to leave so quickly. Was it because he didn't want to hurt her again and again, so he deliberately chose this day?

To be honest, Bai Qingyu felt that she cared for Dongqing far more than Changsheng. It was unavoidable; she wanted to show her care but didn't have the opportunity. Changsheng was a very mature and steady child, and she didn't need to worry about anything. Over time, she naturally leaned towards the less mature Dongqing.

I had previously realized that I actually knew very little about immortality.

She could see right through Dongqing's thoughts, but not Changsheng. She couldn't see into his heart, nor did she know what he was thinking.

Just like the celestial observation mentioned in the letter, she had never known that Changsheng had this skill. If she hadn't gotten some information from Fengyuan, she probably would have thought that Changsheng was overthinking things. With the behemoth that is Tianyang Palace backing him up, how could the world be in chaos?

Even Feng Yuan, a powerful figure, said this, which means that Chang Sheng has indeed discovered something.

To see so far with such limited strength is quite an achievement.

Bai Qingyu felt she should be happy that both children were so talented. But then she thought, it was precisely because the two children were talented that they left her side so early and no longer needed her care.
