Chapter 1030: Chapter 1028: The Nonexistent Ancient History 3
Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
“Master.”
Fang Yun was shocked.
Though these past few days he had kept convincing himself that the light-and-shadow fragments appearing in the Tomb Cluster were fake.
That they were a fabricated ancient history that had never existed.
But after personally feeling that true and unmistakable oppression originating from the Undying Wa Huang.
Fang Yun was somewhat shaken.
Bai Ling’er beside him was even worse off.
In that brief instant when the Undying Wa Huang appeared, she even had the urge to prostrate herself in worship.
More importantly, Bai Ling’er had once truly, with her own eyes, seen the true body of the Undying Wa Huang.
So Bai Ling’er was incomparably certain that the Undying Wa Huang appearing in that light-and-shadow was absolutely not fake.
It was real.
On Mount Xiangji, an unbelievable war of the Supreme had truly once occurred.
The Undying Wa Huang had personally taken the field to do battle with a certain Supreme Heavenly Immortal of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.
But this history, which should have been written of in grand detail, did not exist within the annals of the Demon Race.
So was it true or false?
Bai Ling’er trembled, her terror beyond her own control.
Because she did not believe that anyone in this world could fabricate that true and unmistakable pressure that belonged to the Undying Wa Huang.
Thunder Bird Bubu also let out a sharp screech.
The appearance tonight of the Undying Wa Huang and that Supreme Heavenly Immortal of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm had left it with no way to deceive itself either.
The light-and-shadow was absolutely real.
It was a world-shaking war that had truly occurred in some era beyond reckoning.
And it had then been covertly carried and preserved by the empty, deserted Tomb Cluster at the Foot of Mount Xiangji.
This was a true historical recording, absolutely not a fabricated bygone event.
As for Wang Ling, he was so excited he wished he could charge into that vanished light-and-shadow and fight shoulder to shoulder with Lord Xinling and the others.
But unfortunately, light-and-shadow was ultimately just light-and-shadow.
Even if it carried a true and unmistakable stretch of ancient history.
There was still no way for it to become a tunnel through time and space, to let him pass through.
So Wang Ling forced himself to calm down, and shot Fang Yun and Thunder Bird Bubu a furious glare.
These two idiots. Now they should finally believe him, right?
As for Lin Qi.
Wang Ling could not help but look toward Lin Qi, wanting to see Lin Qi’s shocked expression.
But Lin Qi was only leisurely drinking alone.
It was only when everyone’s gazes turned toward him that he spoke carelessly.
“Not a bad shoot.”
“When there’s a chance, they can have a real one in reality.”
“Alright. Everyone go to bed early.”
“Tomorrow, all of you come plant lotuses for me.”
With that, Lin Qi rose, hands clasped behind his back, and prepared to head back inside to sleep.
Wang Ling could not hold back. “What exactly are you planning to do! Stop playing mysterious with me. If you don’t make things clear today, I’m not done with you!”
“You’re not done with me?”
Lin Qi turned around, face expressionless.
But an unstoppable force lifted Wang Ling up from his wheelchair.
Fang Yun and the others cried out in alarm, wanting to persuade him.
But a single glance from Lin Qi locked them in place, unable to move.
“If you weren’t my disciple.”
“For a fool like you, I could play you to death, and you’d still thank me!”
“You still think you’re clever, that everyone else is drunk and only you are sober.”
“You’re the one who understands?”
“You understand jack shit!”
Lin Qi’s gaze was deep and cold.
“If you dare point fingers in front of me again, I’ll expel you from the sect!”
“See if I care if you die!”
“And all of you, listen carefully.”
“If you don’t have brains, then be obedient.”
“Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up.”
“It’s not your turn yet!”
“And Bai Ling’er, last time you asked me whether I could beat the Undying Wa Huang and They.”
“Now I’m telling you.”
“Anyone else can fucking surrender, but I won’t!”
With that, Lin Qi released Wang Ling, who was about to suffocate, and swept his sleeves as he left.
Everyone looked at each other.
Until Thunder Bird Bubu suddenly let out a strange cry.
“I understand.”
“So that’s what it is.”
“Master, Bubu is super obedient, don’t abandon Bubu!”
Thunder Bird Bubu cried out, spread its wings, and rapidly chased after Lin Qi.
Wang Ling was furious, about to curse Thunder Bird Bubu as a fence-sitter.
Fang Yun beside him seemed to understand as well. He first turned to glance at the pale-faced Bai Ling’er, then silently reached out and took Bai Ling’er’s hand, and said softly.
“Ling’er.”
“Master will protect us.”
Bai Ling’er opened her mouth, then lowered her head to look at her slightly bulging lower abdomen.
Fang Yun repeated, word by word.
“Master will protect us.”
“Then what about our child?”
Bai Ling’er blurted out, instinctively asking.
Fang Yun did not answer.
But Bai Ling’er understood as well.
Lin Qi would protect them, and their child would naturally be protected by them themselves.
But could he really do it?
Bai Ling’er closed her eyes, her body trembling involuntarily.
She thought again of the Undying Wa Huang that had appeared in the light-and-shadow.
And the fear she had once known under the Undying Wa Huang’s dominion.
She understood.
Everything performed by the light-and-shadow in this Tomb Cluster was not fake.
It was true and unmistakable history.
It was just that this history, at this present moment, did not yet exist.
It had not become established history.
But true and false, perhaps, was really only a single thought away for Lin Qi.
…
The next day, the weather was clear, and not a cloud was in sight for ten thousand li.
Everyone, under Lin Qi’s urging, carried hoes to the pond Lin Qi had dug and planted lotuses.
Wang Ling had many doubts in his heart he wanted to ask.
But Lin Qi told him to shut up.
So he could only swallow his anger and not dare speak, and sat blankly by the edge of the pond.
Compared to Fang Yun and the others who thought they understood.
Wang Ling also felt he understood.
He’s threatening me.
Threatening that if I dare disobey him.
He can at any time make everything performed in the light-and-shadow become reality.
Truly despicable.
Wang Ling’s heart was full of grief and indignation, but there was nothing he could do.
He could only turn grief and indignation into appetite, and gulped down two big bowls of medicine.
Then, drowsy, he fell asleep under the sunlight.
In his dream, it seemed he saw Lord Xinling again.
Lord Xinling was drawing closer to him, closer and closer, closer and closer.
Then suddenly Lin Qi jumped out and told Lord Xinling to scram.
So Lord Xinling rolled farther and farther away, farther and farther away.
He could no longer sense any trace of Lord Xinling’s aura.
So Wang Ling suddenly jolted awake. Opening his eyes, he saw Lin Qi, face full of displeasure, withdrawing his hand from Wang Ling’s nose.
“Still alive. Keep working.”
“As for you.”
“If you dare die, I’ll use Bubu, that dead bird, for hotpot!”
“Ah?!”
Thunder Bird Bubu looked horrified. What did it have to do with the bird?
Wang Ling gritted his teeth, daring to be angry but not to speak.
Because he knew that with the ‘Heaven-Abandoning Emperor’s’ cold-hearted ruthlessness, he truly could do it.
So.
Ah, this was worse than killing him!
Lin Qi paid Wang Ling’s stifled fury no attention. He rose, about to head to the pond to continue planting lotuses.
Suddenly.
In the distant sky, a figure streaked across like lightning.
And came to stand there in the void.
It was that Wu Ancestor who believed himself to be the reincarnation of the Ancient Earthly Sovereign returned.
The Wu Ancestor gazed at Lin Qi like this, expression grave, word by word.
“Primordial Heavenly Emperor.”
“You’re not really planning to surrender, are you?”
Facing the Wu Ancestor’s questioning.
Lin Qi narrowed his eyes, sizing up the Wu Ancestor carefully a few times, thoughtful.
“Originally I thought you were just a Li Gui.”
“I didn’t expect you actually had a bit of Li Kui in you.”
“But when did it become your turn to question me!”
“Did you get the Ancestral Shaman Inheritance that Houtu left behind!”
