Chapter 167 – The Accident After Gathering the Five-element Spiritual Objects

<hr>

The focus within the capital city suddenly s.h.i.+fted to the dignified and solemn n.o.ble Court Avenue . Today, it was a scene of joyful festivity, as flowers in purple and red covered the streets, scattered all over .

The Qing Family’s daughter was being married off today .

There were roomfuls of guests as honored figures gathered from all over . The line of carriages which came to extend congratulations and offer presents stretched from one end of the street to the other . Countless young ladies from other families felt their hearts burn like acid even as they felt deep pangs of envy .

It had to be known that even though the people who lived on n.o.ble Court Avenue were all impressive figures, they still couldn’t casually set up such a tremendous scene . At the very least, the Qing Family couldn’t . Today’s extra celebrations had been a unanimous decision decided by all the households living on n.o.ble Court Avenue .

It wasn’t because they respected the Qing Family, but rather because of that high and lofty mysterious figure who stood behind the groom, that mystical great person who stood upon the highest clouds . This was their way of expressing their goodwill and respect towards him .

When the Qing Family first announced that Honorable Ning would be absent from the wedding, this caused the thoughts of countless people to shake, and it even gave some of them a sudden pleasant surprise . But soon, the gift list was revealed to the public, causing all of their thoughts to be grinded to dust .

There was no one on n.o.ble Court Avenue who didn’t know about Wu Zetian’s dwelling . It had been in construction for over ten years and it was obvious how high the costs had been . Now, that dwelling which had been barely occupied, was now on the top of the gift list .

This sufficiently indicated just how highly Honorable Ning regarded his disciple .

No…in the eyes of the various households of n.o.ble Court Avenue, and even in the opinion of the entire capital city, this had already surpa.s.sed the category of being highly regarded . Rather, it was a close intimacy, even considering him as a nephew!

Otherwise, how could he give out such a great present!

Thus, this created the scene of the Qing Family’s happy celebrations soaring to the heavens .

The capital city all watched with envy .

“Congratulations, congratulations!”

“For the Qing Family to obtain such a dragon-like son-in-law, that is the envy of all others!”

“A perfect match, a perfect couple!”

<hr>

The Qing Family Patriarch widely smiled . He was finally able to vent all the grievances that had slowly gathered in his chest in these past years . His appearance seemed much younger as he greeted all the arriving guests .

“The groom has come!”

It was unknown who had shouted this, but countless seafolk turned around . They saw the grand escort caravan arriving . Chief Manager Wu brightly smiled as he cupped his hands together towards everyone around him .

Leon had a worried look . It was only when he arrived at the Qing Family residence that he regained his composure . He quietly knelt and bowed to the Qing Family Patriarch and finally called him father .

The Qing Family Patriarch brushed his beard and laughed, affectionately pulling Leon upwards as they exchanged some words . The bride was soon brought to the front door by her mother .

Madame Qing wiped away her tears . She said in a quiet voice to her daughter . “From now on, it will be the two of you . I hope you live happily ever after . ”

Leon took hold of Qingqing’s hands . As he looked at her red dress and her soft hands, his heart raced with excitement . Grat.i.tude bloomed from the depths of his heart, and in a voice that only he could hear, he whispered to himself, “Teacher, do you see? I finally married Qingqing . Thank you!”

…

High above were clouds, and beyond that lay the starry skies . The starry skies divided the daytime . Countless years ago, on some dark night, a meteor raced past the horizon, dragging a beautiful tail of flame in its wake as it crashed into the earth . The ground collapsed, instantly torn apart to reveal a fathomless canyon . The terrifying impact force exploded outwards, ripping everything to shreds . The wild waves swept out, swallowing all for over a thousand miles . After an unknown period of time, perhaps because rainwater gathered here or perhaps because an underground river had burst open, a current of water gradually appeared . It continued to expand, until one day, this shattered land became a giant lake swamp . Mist gradually rose up, covering the lake swap . As lives were swallowed up one after another, this place slowly became a danger zone that people rarely ever visited . Thus, in the depths of the canyon, where a giant rock was being eroded by endless streams of water, the meteor finally came to a peaceful pause after a long journey through the starry skies . Over time, the eroding water slowly washed away at the giant stone . It became smaller and smaller, until eventually it was the size of a thumb . One day, the earth shook and rumbled and the stone was thrust towards the surface . As it appeared, the sound of splitting air sounded out, clearly audible for hundreds of miles .

Dantian sea –

Lotus seed, willow branch, crystal, round bead – four spiritual objects floated outside the Golden Core, resonating with each . At this time, the four spiritual objects cried out together, cheering in joy . At this time, between the lotus seed and round bead, s.p.a.ce suddenly shook . A thumb-sized metal stone suddenly appeared .

Weng –

An endlessly sharp aura erupted . It was like 10,000 swords slas.h.i.+ng out together, capable of splitting apart the world!

Whoosh –

The light of black water surged out!

Whoosh –

Blue divine light sparkled!

Whoosh –

Red flames ignited!

Whoosh –

A halo of yellow earth suddenly rose up!

Ever since obtaining the Five Element Sword Diagram, Qin Yu had pursued this path with a fervent obsession . He underwent great hards.h.i.+ps, and after experiencing countless twists and turns, perils, and nearly dying numerous times, on this day he was finally able to gather all of the five-element spiritual objects within him .

Qin Yu opened his eyes . Though he remained calm, he still couldn’t help but shake with joy . The five-element spiritual objects were not just treasures, but a ma.s.sive good fortune, an incredible lucky chance . Now everything was ready to go . Once he used the Great Divided Heaven Sutra to split his Golden Core into magic power sources of the five elements, he would finally be able to cultivate the true Five Element Sword Diagram . He could imagine the rise in his strength, and it also represented his limitless potential in the future!

Good fortune lays within disaster, and disaster lurks within good fortune .
