"Senior!" Qin Wentian's heart trembled as he shouted in shock. Qin Wentian ran towards Gongyang Hong, then crouched down to inspect his wound.
Gongyang Hong waved his hand in response to Qin Wentian as he stared blankly at the empty space. In the depths of his eyes, despair, anger, regret and pain could be seen, causing those who saw him to also be able to feel Gongyang Hong's sadness.
"Senior, you have to take care of yourself." Qin Wentian secretly sighed looking at the emotions in Gongyang Hong's eyes. Gongyang Hong clearly had an incredible past.
“We live and die together, we live and die together ... For more than 20 years, I want to fully immerse myself in understanding the Divine Trace insight and thus, I began my research on Divine Inscriptions. But from the beginning, my path was a mistake. ”Unempowerment is clearly visible in Gongyang Hong's voice as he muttered to himself.
"If I knew that the intention was not for me to understand the traces in the painting, but instead for me to decipher the innate techniques hidden within, I believed that at most, the most, I will successfully use only half a year of time . Anyway, I have seen and know these techniques. Maybe I will even manage to use a time of only 2 to 3 months .. but, I actually used a total of 20 years. "
Gongyang Hong muttered to himself, but Qin Wentian knew that he was right. If Gongyang Hong knew early on that the paintings contained innate techniques in them, he would understand the concept of the problem from this angle. Based on his level of knowledge and understanding, he would be able to solve the puzzle within half a year. After all, he was familiar with all four types of innate techniques, and was even able to execute them at a certain level. However, unfortunately, Gongyang Hong's direction had gone wrong at first.
“i always consider myself a free spirit, but in reality, I am inferior, cowardly, cold-blooded and emotionless.I apologize for what I have done to you. "From the corner of her eyes, tears began to roll up Gongyang Hong's face. Along with the corpse, he lay there, motionless.
There is no sorrow greater than a heart that has withered. His heart, at this moment, was so cold that the chill seeped into the bone.
And in this instant, Qin Wentian's heart involuntarily trembled as he looked at Gongyang Hong's disheveled head of hair slowly turning white.
“Senior, the problem more than 20 years ago has passed. Why should you torture yourself? ”
Qin Wentian tried to persuade. To what extent is the degree of despair and suffering to turn hair white? Yet at that moment, many white hairs had completely turned silver, as Gongyang Hong seemed to be over 10 years old in an instant.
Gongyang Hong closed his eyes, as Qin Wentian sat beside him, not knowing what to say.
"She" in her words was most likely the woman who left the words "We live and die together" to her.
However, Qin Wentian did not understand. Since the woman was so emotional, why didn't she tell Gongyang Hong directly. Instead, he chose to leave the puzzle in the painting, leaving more than 20 years of regret and misunderstanding.
Gongyang Hong was currently closing his eyes, and there was no sign of life visible about him. Qin Wentian sighed but chose not to disturb Gongyang Hong. He sat down at a place near Gongyang Hong, choosing not to leave in case Gongyang Hong suffered an accident.
Very quickly, a day passed and night came. Astral Light flowed downwards, landing on Qin Wentian's body. Qin Wentian was currently cultivating in his sleep, his body was bathed in starlight, his face looked so calm and peaceful. The boundless energy from the Astral Light was absorbed into his body, as it circulated along the circular path of the arteries.
At this moment, Gongyang Hong opened his eyes, only to see him tilting his head to look at the vast starry sky, as a sense of loss emanated from him.
"Everything that happens is because of my own fault." Gongyang Hong stared at the stars as he muttered in his heart.
“That year, his talent was amazing, and he had a lot of suitors. Even though you seem confident and calm, doesn't it come from your sense of inferiority? If you don't consider yourself inferior to him, why after so long a friend, you still don't dare to take the final step. Can't you feel the love he has for you?
“That year, she rejected 18 marriage proposals, and what she rejected were all demon-level talents from all the big and powerful sects. Which of them is inferior to you? Why did he choose to reject them? Why is he still having so much trouble talking about this with you? Your self-pity and cowardice ruin everything. In the end, you choose to remain silent, afraid to tell her about the feelings in your heart.
“That year, everyone envied you. But why are they jealous? Not because you're the only one close to her? And because of jealousy, they hurt you. Because of you, he begged his father for help, but again, during the 19th marriage proposal, you remained silent. Could it be that you are still blind to his love for you?
“Even the last time he came to see you, you were still afraid to confess. In the end, you remained silent, the only thing he left behind was the four Divine Inscription paintings, and he still gave you a year to decipher the puzzle. During that year, even if you don't decipher it, as long as you speak, regardless of the cost, he will give up everything and leave with you. All because of the words, "We live and die together."
"But, you don't. You personally witnessed her marriage to another. You indifferently watched everything happen. Can't you tell me what his eyes say when he sees you? That despair, and the cold and finally the despair. Gongyang Hong, you deserve to die. "
Gongyang Hong thought about his past events that happened over 20 years ago. Even after a long time travel, he still felt pain, as he stared blankly at the night sky, lonely and miserable.
The morning air was rather wet, dew could be seen on the bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest around them.
Qin Wentian called out, "Senior." When he opened his eyes. He saw Gongyang Hong sitting there, with his head of silvery hair, looking very old.
"You're awake." Gongyang Hong averted his gaze and smiled at Qin Wentian, recovering from his previous state of madness. Qin Wentian, after seeing this, finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
"How have you ever discovered the connection between the Divine Imprint and the innate technique?" Gongyang Hong curiously asked. He from that year was also a monstrous genius, and an expert in divine inscriptions, carving four Divine Inscription paintings for him 20 years ago. This was proof that he was the same as Qin Wentian, and had discovered the interconnection between the Divine Imprint and the innate technique.
“Because of sudden inspiration. One of my cultivation techniques requires me to borrow energy from the Divine Traces. After I gained some understanding of the Divine Traces, somehow, subconsciously, I began to connect the two. "Qin Wentian smiled as he replied.
As Gongyang Hong looked at the pure smile displayed, he could not help but think about past events. Sadly, after living vacantly for over 20 years, the only thing he left behind was regret.
"If you've ever met a girl who can move your heart, don't miss an opportunity, you have to take the initiative."
Gongyang Hong suddenly changed the subject, leaving Qin Wentian stunned.
Laughing with a simple thought, Qin Wentian nodded, "OK."
However, until now, he had still not met a girl who could really move his heart. But, about the topic of moving his heart, the sight of the snow scene involuntarily floated in his mind.
Snowflakes floated about, as a young woman sat beside him, silently admiring the snow. Call it stupid, before leaving with a smile. That picture is beautiful.
"What am I thinking?" Qin Wentian bitterly shook his head.
“Remember, don't miss an opportunity. If you do, you will regret it for life. "Gongyang Hong sighed deeply as he continued," Since you can connect the Divine Traces and innate techniques together, as well, why haven't you done the same and linked your Astral Soul together with your attack-type innate technique? "
"Seniors, attacks carried out with innate techniques, don't they already contain a piece of Astral Soul energy in them? The Astral Energy imparted from the various types of Astral Souls would determine the cultivation arts and innate techniques of a cultivator. As for the deeper relationship, this junior has yet to understand anything about it. "The Qin Wentian.
Although he replied like this, in fact, Qin Wentian had already thought of connecting his Astral Soul with his innate technique. Back then when he fought against Yanaro and Luo Qianqiu, he already wanted to combine his Astral Soul-type strength into his innate technique.
"you should know that above the Yuanfu Realm is the Heavenly Angel Realm. But do you know what the Heavenly Dipper Realm symbolizes? ”Gongyang Hong asked while looking at Qin Wentian.
"Junior doesn't know." Qin Wentian. Now, he was only at the Arterial Circulation Realm. How would he have the chance to interact with the ruler of the Heavenly Kingdom? The people in the Heavenly Dipper Realm could already be considered standing at the pinnacle in the entire Chu Country.
"Heavenly Dipper Realm, is to condense the stars of the Heavenly Dipper, also known as Astral Nova. At that time, your Astral Soul, will be your most direct method of battle. For some cases, Astral Novas was even more powerful when compared to using Divine Weapons. ”Gongyang Hong explained, while continuing. “Quickly or later, the Astral Soul itself will turn into an attack-type innate technique. However, to condense Astral Novas, a cultivator would need truly astronomical cultivation resources to step through the abyss separating Yuanfu and the Heavenly Angel Realm.
"Many people – including many elites and talented geniuses – despite trying for a lifetime, unable to bridge the final gap. If you can enter your Astral Soul power directly into your previous innate technique, when it comes time to condense your Astral Nova, then, you will find it several times easier when compared to others. "
Gongyang Hong was guided as Qin Wentian listened in seriousness. This was Gongyang Hong's precious insight, obtained through his own experience.
"Look at my eyes." Gongyang Hong continued. As Qin Wentian looked into his eyes, he only saw the eyes of the dead staring at him. Instantly, he felt a wave of death intent enter his mind, only to disappear a moment later. However, just a flash of that experience could cause Qin Wentian's heart to pound wildly.
Just this one look was already frightening.
“It was a combination of my Astral Soul and the innate technique of 'My Death Eye'. This type of innate technique could only be processed if one had a suitable Astral Soul type. "Gongyang Hong continued," So, you must remember to constantly utilize your Astral Soul. In the future, they will become your ultimate weapon, and also, your proficiency with the use of Astral Souls is also the key to stepping into the Heavenly Dipper Realm. ”
"Thanks a lot for Senior guidance." Qin Wentian bowed.
"i'm just talking from my experience, how can it be considered as a guide? If not for you, I was afraid to say that even now, I would still not have managed to decipher the riddles in the painting. "Gongyang Hong sighed," Qin Wentian, your understanding is in the right direction. Astral Souls, Divine Traces, Innate Techniques, all of these were part of cultivation. All flows lead to the ocean, all paths eventually leading in the same direction. Continue to cultivate hard, and live well without regret.
“You, can go now. And since you are the one who solved the riddle of these four paintings, I will give it to you. "
Qin Wentian looked at Gongyang Hong as he received the painting. Standing up, he bowed again, as he left.
“Figure yourself Senior. In the future, this junior will visit you often. "Qin Wentian called out as he walked into the bamboo forest. Little Rascal rushed over from the side, following behind Qin Wentian's silhouette.
