Chapter 1564: Chapter 1565: When Grace Ends

"What should we do now?"

"There’s nothing we can do."

Bai Qiu’s words sealed the fate. She had called Chen Mengmeng over precisely to let Mengmeng see her master for the last time.

However, upon hearing this, Chen Mengmeng immediately became agitated: "That’s impossible! How can Master die here, how can this be... "

"Why can’t it be?"

The disheveled figure of Cang Qing True Master slowly lifted his head, looking with satisfaction at Chen Mengmeng, who unexpectedly appeared before him.

"Master..."

Chen Mengmeng opened her mouth to say something, but Cang Qing True Master shook his head to stop her and then said.

"A hundred years ago, in that global conflict, shadows of the Demonic Path, the Demon Clan, and various foreign clans scattered across this world loomed. Xia Country, as the revival ground of this world, has sacrificed how many lives under the collective assault of several nations to preserve its territory?"

"But Master, you are an Earth Immortal! You are the Sect Leader of our Cang Qing Sect!"

Chen Mengmeng still couldn’t accept this fact and spoke out agitatedly.

"So what if I am an Earth Immortal?"

Cang Qing countered, then looked towards the heavens and earth: "We beseech the heavens and seek guidance from the earth, in pursuit of immortals and the Dao. But even standing at the apex of this world, we are still human. All humans are equal. The value of life lies only in fulfilling oneself within a limited time. I am already more fortunate than those sages who died in the great battle. If it weren’t for the Qingcheng Sect having no one to rely on a hundred years ago, I would have joined that battle."

"But Master, if you are gone, what will happen to the Qingcheng Sect?"

"Isn’t there still you? Don’t you want to?"

Chen Mengmeng looked at the kindly gaze of the old man in front of her, somewhat dazed, she subconsciously stepped back but still shook her head.

"It’s not that, but I’m not ready... Without Master, how can I shoulder the responsibility of the Qingcheng Sect."

"There’s still your elder brother."

"But..."

"If you don’t trust yourself, do you also not trust your elder brother? Do you not trust your Master’s judgement?"

Chen Mengmeng stood rooted to the spot, at a loss for words to refute. Clenching her fists, Mengmeng finally looked at Cang Qing and said.

"But I still can’t bear to part with Master!"

Setting aside all reasoning and reservations, what Mengmeng conveyed was nothing but her humanly attachment and reluctance to let go of Cang Qing True Master.

Cang Qing looked at the youth who had been utterly convinced by reason, but faced with this capricious request, he could not utter a single word of rebuttal.

He raised his hand and touched the softly sobbing Chen Mengmeng, whispering, "To have you as a disciple is my fortune."

"Master..."

Feeling Cang Qing True Master’s resolve to face death, Chen Mengmeng’s voice trembled, burying her head in Cang Qing’s embrace.

Seeing the childish scene, Cang Qing was both annoyed and amused but ultimately did not push Chen Mengmeng away, whispering softly.

"To see you once more before I die, I have no regrets. Let me accompany you on this final journey."

As his voice fell, the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth suddenly became turbulent.

The ancient well connected by chains emitted a tremendous humming noise, the ethereal sound causing Bai Qiu and Ao Tian to frown, while Bei Tang Qian Xiao nearly fainted from the immense impact.

And with a sweep of Cang Qing True Master’s large hand, the oppressive feeling that had been before them dissipated in an instant, and along with it, Cang Qing True Master, together with the four chains on his body, flew into the air.

The scattered chains floated like extending arms, and Cang Qing True Master, who had been in a terrible predicament just moments ago, now seemed like a true Human Immortal.

"Has Master broken free from his bonds?"

Chen Mengmeng was filled with immense joy in an instant.

However, Bai Qiu, who had not been confused by the scene before him, spoke with calm clarity: "No, it seems that the chains have been broken, but in reality, they are still connected to the ancient well. The True Master has not broken free from his bonds. He has merely expanded the space that constrains him from the area around the ancient well to encompass the entire Dao Sect hall."

After hearing this, Bei Tang Qian Xiao, puzzled, asked, "What is the True Master trying to do?"

Bai Qiu furrowed his brows in confusion, while Ao Tian, who had a broader view on the other side, noticed something telling.

"That guy over there is about to collapse."

Qing Tian truly was the first in hundreds of years who, with the body of a member of the Demon Clan, cultivated the Daoism Method and advanced into the Demon God Realm.

Even after having fought a battle with Cang Qing and being severely wounded, Qing Tian still held the upper hand against Dao Kong.

Dao Kong, struggling to hold on and temporarily entangling Qing Tian, could not even hope to persist until everyone had left, let alone himself being an Earth Immortal, might even perish within this Bixiao Cave.

Should Dao Kong die, there would be no way for Chen Mengmeng and others to leave the range of the Daoist temple.

"You brash monkey, I’m not dead yet, and here you are about to wreak havoc in front of me. Isn’t that taking me, your half-master, too lightly?"

As Qing Tian, who had already charged at Dao Kong, heard the voice from behind, his pupils contracted, then he threw a punch that landed squarely on Dao Kong’s body.

This full-power strike from the Dharma True Body sent Dao Kong flying, spitting blood, with his Inner Breath thrown into chaos.

Qing Tian, having no concern for the barely breathing Dao Kong, turned around and faced the giant chains that were now Cang Qing’s "arms."

Bang!

The chains struck Qing Tian like metal clashing against a mountain, sparking a myriad of sparks.

Already injured, Qing Tian’s immense Dharma Body was caved in by Cang Qing’s direct hit.

"You old fart! Do you really want to kill me?" Qing Tian roared angrily.

From their last grand battle, Qing Tian had already triumphed, and killing Cang Qing in his own territory was just a matter of lifting a finger, yet he ultimately chose not to do so.

He may not be able to comply with Cang Qing’s plea to abandon the Demonic Path, but he did not wish to be the one to kill Cang Qing—even at least not let him die by his own hands.

However, upon hearing these words, Cang Qing only chuckled lightly: "Do you really think I cannot see the true reason why you did not kill me? Abandoning the orthodox Way and ruining your foundation in the Dao, in the end, you just can’t bear to lose your own Realm."

Seeing his thoughts bluntly exposed, Qing Tian lost the desire to pretend any longer, and straightforwardly said: "My debt of gratitude to the Dao Sect is nothing more than those few years of study. When exactly do you expect me to pay it off?"

"Eighty-one."

Nine is the ultimate number, and eighty-one the supreme of the supremes. Cang Qing’s words were obviously not spoken without purpose, and Qing Tian, who instantly understood the implication, narrowed his eyes and said.

"Eighty-one lashes, and I will have repaid all my debts to the Dao Sect and its people?"

Cang Qing did not answer; instead, with a raise of his hand, three faint Dharma Seals appeared, representing Zhao Kongming, Master Chang Chun, and Master Qianshan, the current Sect Leaders of Mount Longhu, Quanzhen, and Wudang respectively.

Clearly, Cang Qing True Master had visited all places before coming to Bixiao Cave and had received the joint endorsement of the Four major Taoist sects.

Qing Tian looked at this scene with squinted eyes and then quietly said: "You should know what your fate will be after the eighty-one lashes, right?"

The moment of severing ties was also the moment when Cang Qing True Master would meet his death.
