Chapter 395: Chapter 385: Ascend to Immortality

"Master, you said to listen, and your disciple is all ears."

Long Chen said respectfully.

Ximen Wuhen’s expression was solemn as he said, "This Sword Scripture of the Six Paths originates from a mysterious sect called the Six Paths Sword Sect. This sect is extremely terrifying and has always been trying to kill me because I happened to obtain the Sword Scripture by chance. They do not want the scriptures to be disseminated, hence their desire to silence me.

Once you obtained the Sword Scripture and used it, the Six Paths Sword Sect would surely detect it. They are not in this realm, yet they can easily sense it. Do you understand what your Master means?"

"I understand," Long Chen replied, somewhat shocked. "Isn’t that akin to an extraterrestrial being?"

"It can be understood that way," Ximen Wuhen replied. "If you could only reach your master’s level of cultivation in the future, you wouldn’t need to worry. But given your talent, surpassing your master is not a challenging task. Sooner or later, you will encounter them, and the conflict will be unavoidable. I am informing you of this so that you can be psychologically prepared and not be caught off guard when the time comes."

"Your disciple remembers," Long Chen said respectfully.

"Good, there’s nothing else. Your master will now begin helping you dissolve the Evil Talisman."

...

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

Qing Zhi and Liuli were waiting outside, growing increasingly anxious.

"Sister, should we go in and check? What if something has gone wrong?" Liuli could not help but ask, nervously looking at Qing Zhi.

Qing Zhi shook her head and said, "I’m worried too, but we can’t go in. If our intrusion leads to any disruption, it would be a devastating blow to both Long Chen and Master. The ultimate consequence would be loss of everything."

Hearing her sister’s words, Liuli fell silent.

But at that moment, the doors of the hall suddenly opened.

Long Chen stood at the entrance, his expression sorrowful and his gaze dim.

Yet, his aura was incredibly powerful, a stark difference from before he entered the hall.

"Master asked you to come in," Long Chen spoke.

Qing Zhi and Liuli hurriedly entered and saw Ximen Wuhen, whose energy was deeply diminished.

Ximen Wuhen looked aged and feeble, truly at the end of his rope, with his eyes becoming extremely cloudy.

He had transferred all his cultivation to Long Chen, not only helping Long Chen dissolve the Evil Talisman but also significantly boosting Long Chen’s own cultivation.

"Master, how are you feeling?" Qing Zhi cried, kneeling before Ximen Wuhen.

"Qing Zhi, Liuli, before I leave, I don’t want to see you cry. I want to see you smile, alright?" Ximen Wuhen’s voice was hoarse and feeble.

Qing Zhi and Liuli, holding back their sorrow, forced a smile.

"Qing Zhi, that Broken Sword you have accompanied your master through many battles. When you fully earn its recognition, the sword will once again be perfect and flawless. Remember this?"

"Yes, Master," Qing Zhi nodded vigorously.

"Liuli, listen well to your sister and your brother Long. Your master..."

He couldn’t complete his last sentence; Ximen Wuhen’s head drooped down lifelessly.

But before Qing Zhi and Liuli could mourn, something astonishing happened.

Six ancient gates, dark as ink, appeared in the sky, emitting a chilling aura.

A figure, nearly translucent, slowly left Ximen Wuhen’s body and approached the ancient gates.

"Master."

"Master."

Liuli and Qing Zhi knelt, tears streaming down their faces.

Long Chen also kneeled, feeling indescribably pained.

The nearly translucent figure didn’t speak but waved with a smile before entering the ancient gates, disappearing from sight.

The gates vanished quickly, as if they had never been there.

Such a miraculous sight was beyond comprehension.

Long Chen didn’t understand it either, but seeing Qing Zhi and Liuli’s grief, he immediately said, "Master has left this world, but he has not died. He just told me that he has a chance to be reborn in another world. So, in the future, we may still have the opportunity to meet him again."

These words were a kind lie from Long Chen.

But thinking back to the scene he had just witnessed, Long Chen was also somewhat bewildered.

He suspected that Ximen Wuhen might indeed be reborn in another realm.

This could potentially, not be entirely a lie.

Because that scene before truly provoked deep thought...

It was as if, in the process of transforming into an immortal...

Qing Zhi and Little Liuli were clearly deeply moved, subconsciously believing Long Chen’s words.

After believing Long Chen, their grief also dissipated by half.

"Husband, you’re right, Master isn’t dead, he’s just gone to another world."

Qing Zhi said excitedly.

"I also believe Master isn’t dead, Master is invincible, even King Yama doesn’t dare to take him."

Little Liuli also wiped away her tears, her delicate face growing serious.

"You’re right, but no matter what, we still need to properly handle Master’s affairs."

Long Chen spoke softly.

"Yes, let’s get started."

Qing Zhi said.

"Okay."

...

Atop Martial Immortal Mountain, Long Chen, Qing Zhi, Little Liuli, and Lan’er together attended to Ximen Wuhen’s last rites.

Seven days later, the arrangements were complete.

At this time, Long Chen was thinking of returning to Qianzhou.

After all, the Great Xia Mansion was still there, and Xia Ling and the others were still worried about him.

Long Chen gathered Qing Zhi and the others, shared his thoughts of wanting to return, and also wished for Qing Zhi and the others to return with him to Qianzhou.

But Qing Zhi quickly declined, she said softly, "I want to observe the mourning period for forty-nine days; you go back first, we will come find you after forty-nine days, my husband, would that be alright?"

"This..."

After pondering for a moment, Long Chen then said, "Well, I’ll go back first, after all, there are various affairs I need to attend to at the Great Xia Mansion."

"Yes, go back, business is important, we’ll come back to help you after this period."

Qing Zhi said softly.

"Ok."

Long Chen nodded, glanced at Lan’er and Little Liuli, and then hesitated.

Liuli, unaware of anything, Lan’er, however, rose to her feet and said, "Liuli, come out for a bit, I have something to tell you."

"Why not say it here?" Little Liuli said.

Helpless, Lan’er knew this young girl didn’t understand the need to give the newlyweds some space.

Without another word, she directly pulled Little Liuli out the front door, even thoughtfully closing it behind them.

"Lan’er is really thoughtful."

Long Chen chuckled.

"Hmph."

Qing Zhi snorted, remaining silent.

Long Chen then reached out, embracing Qing Zhi, and whispered, "When you come to Qianzhou, I’ll arrange a special night just for you, how’s that?"

"How naughty, always thinking of all these absurd things."

Qing Zhi glanced at Long Chen.

Long Chen kissed Qing Zhi once, "Shall we just do it now?"

"Not at all, it’s not possible right now, special circumstances."

Qing Zhi said, blushing.

Long Chen suddenly understood, and after thinking for a bit, he said, "Well, there are other ways, you know."
