Born to Disappear

Chapter 37

"He's running away again." Hualing said indifferently.

"Leave it. The goal is to kill me, he'll come back." Yuan Qing replied nonchalantly, as if the target he was aiming for was not him

"More importantly, what would Ling'er want to do to endanger herself?" Hualing smiled awkwardly at the question, for some reason he felt guilty for his reckless actions.

"..."

Hualing took a deep breath, Yuan Qing was still staring at him waiting for a response. It seemed that if this time he did not open his mouth, Yuan Qing would not let go.

"I actually felt my spiritual energy from that person. I just want to make sure if it's just a resemblance or real. The moment that person used his spiritual power, I was able to sense two overlapping spiritual energies. One is much thinner than the other. The thinner one is identical to mine and the stronger one moves up and down as the person moves. And when that person disappeared, I could feel my spiritual energy fluctuating. Looks like we don't need to search for ruins anymore. Just from that spiritual energy, I know that my true self is a certain magical artifact. And it should be in the hands of the Sky sect." Hualing replied with his head bowed weakly.

"Ling'er, there's a gap in that analysis. If that person is from the Sky sect, why not ambush me during the testing, while that person definitely knows my identity as a demon lord. Why can the Sky Sect be so calm?"

Hualing's forehead wrinkled deeply, he looked at Yuan Qing with a questioning gaze.

"That person could be a cultivator of the Sky sect, could also be a cultivator pretending to be a member of the Sky sect." Yuan Qing continued.

"Pretending to be a Sky sect seems impossible, no one is stupid enough to pretend to be a member of a big sect. Moreover, with the fanfare of the prophecy, the possibilities become smaller." Hualing denied it quickly.

"There is one other possibility. They were the Sky sect from another time." both Hualing's eyes were round wide at hearing the guess, "you certainly didn't forget if my soul came from a different time. It should be several tens of years ahead, so it doesn't rule out the possibility of this person also coming from a more advanced time." Yuan Qing continued. His expression was cold, like the tip of a frozen iceberg.

"And spiritual energy that is identical to mine..."

"Rice from the magical artifact used to pass through different times." Yuan Qing continued Hualing's severed sentence.

"..." - ".Hualing was speechless, he was still a little difficult to digest this more incredible guess.

"It looks like the ruins can't be undone. A magical artifact with immortal energy and capable of forming spiritual consciousness only came from one place.." to find out, Hualing did not need Yuan Qing to mention that place. Because in his brain he thought of only one place.

Ninth Heaven!

...****************...

Approaching the intended location in the map, both Hualing and Yuan Qing could sense the immortal energy in the air. It feels warm, like the morning sun in early spring.

Getting closer, they found a giant cave. The vines framed the mouth of the cave, small red flowers scattered like stars. The more they approached, the stronger the immortal energy felt.

Yuan Qing who was about to enter the cave was forced to stop due to the pull on the arm. He looked at Hualing who shook his head twice.

"This entrance fluctuates, too dangerous to enter now." Hualing explained without asking, "look at the mouth of the cave." he continued.

Yuan Qing did what Hualing said, he looked at the mouth of the cave with a frown. Nothing happened even after a few hours. He looked at Hualing who was sitting leaning against a thick tree, right beside him standing. The girl closed her eyes like she was asleep, her forehead stretching leisurely. Seeing this, Yuan Qing immediately paused the intention to ask.

'If Ling'er asks me to look then I won't close my eyes!' he is determined in heart.

"Now!" Hualing said suddenly. Without elaborating, Yuan Qing knew what he meant.

The mouth of the cave in front of it no longer displayed in the dark cave as before, but instead alternated between a field full of flowers and ruins. Change in every blink of an eye, "This is?"

"The ninth Ruins of Heaven." Hualing replied slowly, as if he was spelling out in every word.

"This door is unstable. If we enter this moment we will have the same fate as the people before. The best possibility is to enter the ruins and somehow get out and the worst is to be thrown in the void." Hualing answered Yuan Qing's unspoken question.

"Ling'er even knows this," Yuan Qing said as he lightly patted Hualing's head twice, making the second throw away with a red face.

"Actually I don't know this, all of a sudden all of that information comes out of nowhere in the mind." replied Hualing shyly.

"That's been so good!" praise Yuan Qing, "do Ling'er know when this entrance will stabilize?" continued.

"not sure. But it should be less than ten years." Hualing replied with a frown and a look of confusion. He did not understand why the number had just appeared in his brain.

"That's long enough. Better go back to the sect and report." Yuan Qing commented later.

"When the door opens is uncertain, this region is also under the responsibility of the Sky sect."

...****************...

Xie Shaosheng felt an overwhelmingly acidic aura. He smiled awkwardly at Yuan Qing who was staring at Lin Shi with a murderous gaze without a veil.

He was not a Hualing indifferent to the feelings of men and women. So since a few years ago, he knew that this young man was putting his heart on his youngest brother.

Formerly Yuan Qing could only endure the displeasure, but this time he showed his jealousy without any intention of concealing. It seemed, this little sister had been enlightened. On one hand he felt happy, but on the other hand Shaosheng felt his little sister had been stolen.

And now when he saw this huge vat of vinegar break, Shaosheng felt a certain happiness. Although his face looked awkward, his heart had happiness.

"Ling's sister! How could you leave fourth brother for so long!"

Xie Shaosheng laughed awkwardly hearing Lin shi's spoiled tone. He did not know whether this Lan Shi was intentionally or not doing that.

"I was only gone for a few days. It's not long at all compared to the fourth brother who's been away for ten years." Hualing replied with a friendly smile, inversely proportional to his striking speech.

"Hasn't the brother already apologized, why Ling's sister is still calculating."

Now that Xie Shaosheng was convinced, Lan Shi had deliberately stuck to Hualing. Seeing how Lan Shi smiled disdainfully at Yuan Qing who was standing beside him. It seemed that Lan Shi still could not accept if someone craved for the pearl in his palm.

"Little sister don't listen to him. The fourth sister is just a little dissatisfied that she was assigned to take care of the admission of a new student in your place." Unable to stand the killing aura that kept coming out from Yuan Qing, Xie Shaosheng was forced to open his mouth.

"Why haven't I heard it?"

"At the meeting that discussed the reception of the new disciple, the sect master suggested that little brother take care of the reception. However, the teacher refused. Teacher thinks rather than a little brother who always takes care of the reception, why not let someone who is unemployed take care of it?" Xie Shaosheng answered Hualing's question without giving face to Lan Shi.

"Not only that! Master even banned me from going down the mountain for the next decade!" Lan Shi exclaimed with dissatisfaction.

"I think the teacher was right." Hualing nodded several times, agreeing with his teacher's decision. For fifty years Hualing was in the sect, when he met this fourth brother could be counted with two hands. Most of the time Lan Shi would be in the outside world traveling, at the earliest a few years and at most ten or eleven years old.

The teacher gave him this task. This fourth brother was already supposed to do the task he should have done. No more throwing it at other brothers and sisters.

"I just got back and had to report. Third brother and fourth brother, Hualing will not accompany gossip." he said suddenly. Not giving Lan Shi a chance to complain.
