But by the time Qin Chuan sensed it, it was too late. He knew he couldn't stop that familiar aura.
Furthermore, Yu Qing had no choice; she only had the right to be chosen.
Just like Chu Shi Qingzhu and the other women, she had no choice either. Perhaps this was their destiny.
What was this lotus flower? Where would Yu Qing go? Qin Chuan felt a pang of sadness; Yu Qing was leaving him too.
Yu Qing, however, smiled faintly and hugged Qin Chuan.
"Alright, we'll meet again soon. Believe me, next time we meet, I'll definitely have a baby with you, okay?" Yu Qing rubbed Qin Chuan's head.
Qin Chuan held her tightly, but he felt her becoming increasingly blurry.
Yu Qing disappeared. Qin Chuan could sense her direction; she wasn't far from Chu Shi Qingzhu and the others, but quite far from him. His
Dragon-Seeking Technique allowed him to know their direction, but not their distance.
It was still very far. The Nine Heavens Land was vast, not even much closer than before he came here. The only difference was that Qin Chuan was now in the Nine Heavens Land.
Qin Chuan had initially thought he would soon see Chu Shiqing and the others after arriving in the Nine Heavens Land, but now he realized he had been too naive.
The Nine Heavens Land, as a divine realm within a divine realm, was undoubtedly powerful, and its vastness was terrifying.
Now, he was alone again…
Qin Chuan realized that despite having many loved ones, children, and a large family, including several powerful cultivators, he was often alone.
Looking at the old monk opposite him, did he hate him? Perhaps, but not intensely. As the old monk had said, it was also an opportunity, a good one for Yu Qing.
He couldn't say for sure; Qin Chuan didn't really care, but he couldn't be too selfish. After all, such an opportunity was rare.
Furthermore, at this level, with this strength, and a long lifespan, strength was crucial. This separation was for a longer future together.
The old monk showed no remorse for separating them, seemingly seeing Qin Chuan as if he had done a great deed.
Actually, that item had been in the old monk's possession for many years, but he hadn't found a suitable owner. He came today because the item had reacted, not to stand up for those two people.
The old monk was also trying to build a good connection. The item was valuable, even better than a divine artifact, provided someone could use it. If the old monk himself couldn't use it, then it was essentially worthless.
He had thought it would rot in his hands, but unexpectedly, at his advanced age, he was giving it away—that was a good deed.
As for whether he would receive anything in return, the old monk had long since become indifferent and hadn't thought much about it. Even if there was no return, it didn't matter; it would be a waste for such a good item to rot in his hands.
Anyone who obtained such a treasure would feel like vomiting blood. Was it good? Definitely good, extremely good, at the level of a divine artifact, or even better. It was a pity that few people could use it…
Qin Chuan looked at the old monk and sighed deeply, unsure of what to say.
"Young man, your romance doesn't matter for a short time. This is her destiny. She is a person with great fortune. You should feel happy," the old monk said with a smile.
Qin Chuan really couldn't refute it. Not only could he not refute it, but he also had to be somewhat aware of the other person's feelings. He sighed helplessly
. "Then thank you very much, Master." This thanks was truly reluctant.
The old monk wasn't angry. He nodded, stroked his beard, and slowly turned around, seemingly about to leave. However, after taking two steps, he stopped and looked at Qin Chuan.
"Hmm, the inheritor of the God of War, eh, not bad, not bad." The old monk's eyes lit up.
At this moment, Qin Chuan wanted to turn around and run away. The old monk's gaze was a bit frightening.
"There is also a bit of opportunity for you here, but it
's a bit special. I don't know if you like it or not?" the old monk said. Qin Chuan didn't know why, but he always felt that it wasn't a good thing. Mainly, the old monk's gaze was just too special.
But hearing about an opportunity, he was also curious. As long as it was an opportunity, then there must be considerable benefits. Of course, opportunities are often accompanied by other things.
For example, Yu Qing, her opportunity was very good, but she would go to an unfamiliar place and face unknown dangers, or even if there were no dangers, she would still lose a lot of her current resources over a long period of time.
"What kind of opportunity?" Qin Chuan asked.
"Come with me," the old monk said.
After speaking, the old monk walked forward.
Qin Chuan hesitated whether to follow, after all, who could guarantee that the other party wouldn't harm him?
After taking two steps, the old monk turned back to look at Qin Chuan: "Don't worry, I have no intention of harming you. To be honest, with your current strength, if I really wanted to harm you, I could do it here, no need for all this trouble."
After all, the old monk was a War God Realm expert; killing a Void Realm cultivator was truly a matter of a single thought. However, Qin Chuan's Void Realm cultivation was somewhat special, but the old monk didn't know that.
Therefore, it was true that the old monk had no intention of harming Qin Chuan. Thinking of this, Qin Chuan lowered his guard and followed the old monk into the Taotie Temple.
This Taotie Temple was perfectly formed, as if it were a real Taotie. The closer one got, the more one could feel that special aura—powerful, perhaps even bloodthirsty.
The Taotie Temple was very deserted. Only then did Qin Chuan realize how dilapidated it was, with very few people inside, which puzzled him greatly.
"Do you find this place so dilapidated?" the old monk asked with a smile, noticing Qin Chuan's question.
Qin Chuan nodded. "Yes, the Taotie Temple is the..."
The old monk shook his head. "The master of Taotie City is the City Lord's Mansion. The Taotie Temple is just a temple."
Qin Chuan was taken aback, seemingly understanding. He had initially thought the Taotie Temple was the ruler of Taotie City, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.
The City Lord's Mansion was the true master of Taotie City.
The old monk was a War God Realm expert. Was it because the old monk was detached from worldly desires, or was the City Lord's Mansion more powerful?
Even if the Taotie Temple didn't have many people, the old monk was a War God Realm expert. Did a War God Realm expert have no deterrent effect here?
Then the City Lord's Mansion must be terrifying.
From the old monk's words, Qin Chuan sensed that the Taotie Temple couldn't afford to offend the City Lord's Mansion; not only that, but it seemed to be under their suppression.
What level is Taotie City?
What level is the War God Realm?
If he were to connect with the Taotie Temple, wouldn't that mean he'd be standing on the opposite side of the City Lord's Mansion?
He was just a passerby and didn't want to get entangled here. The Tower of Babel wasn't open yet, and he just wanted to go inside and have some fun. As for the opportunities, he'd leave it to fate.
But now the old monk is telling me there's a chance. If it really happens, and with Yu Qing's connection to it, I really won't be able to distinguish myself from this Taotie Temple.
