Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

Qin Jiaming let out a bitter laugh and spread his hands:

”These three conditions are indispensable. Therefore, even if there were many Demon Cultivators of the Emotion Crossing Sect in the Celestial Abyss at that time, those who truly met the conditions and survived into this world would be few and far between.”

Upon hearing this, many of the mysteries in Chen Ye’s heart were finally more than half solved.

He sighed inwardly.

Originally.

Chen Ye was still thinking about whether there was a chance to change Bai Li’s future.

After all, Bai Li is Susu’s father...

Chen Ye suppressed his complicated thoughts and asked the most crucial question:

”According to what you said, we are like insects trapped in amber, only able to drift along with predetermined history. How are we supposed to leave this world?

”Actually, it’s simple, the one who tied the bell must untie it, big brother. Since it was the explosion deep in the Celestial Abyss that dragged us into this historical projection, then to leave, we only need to detonate the Celestial Abyss again!”

Qin Jiaming’s eyes were deep, and he spoke word by word,

”Only absolute power can tear open the rules of this world. Moreover, with this second explosion, we might even be able to momentarily alter the subtle causality of the past at the instant of the explosion.”

Explode the Celestial Abyss again?!

But what kind of place is the Celestial Abyss, even a Golden Core True Man fell here, and it’s filled with countless monstrous offspring.

Yet... listening to Qin Jiaming’s words, if the Celestial Abyss is detonated again, there might be a chance to change some tiny causality, perhaps even giving his future father-in-law an extra bit of vitality.

”It sounds like a death mission...” Chen Ye replied ambiguously.

”But staying here, we will only be gradually assimilated by this world’s correcting force until we become a mere shadow. Big brother, think it over slowly. But the time left for us is not as long as two years anymore.”

...

Chouyun Pass was originally built reliant on the Celestial Abyss and is not far from its outskirts.

Thinking of what Qin Jiaming said, Chen Ye finally decided to come take a look at the Celestial Abyss.

If what Qin Jiaming said is true,

he must escape this world as quickly as possible, or else he will be assimilated and die.

But upon arriving at the outskirts of the Celestial Abyss,

Chen Ye’s heart sank.

At the pass frequently used by Loose Cultivators at the outskirts of the Celestial Abyss, there were now unexpectedly a large number of Emotion Crossing Sect Cultivators stationed.

”Blockaded?”

A rough glance showed over ten patrolling teams on the outskirts, including several Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

”The defense is unexpectedly tight...”

Chen Ye retracted his Divine Sense, his brows slightly furrowed.

When he came to this world, the Celestial Abyss was clearly not yet blockaded.

”Could it be... other Emotion Crossing Sect cultivators returning from the future? Given they have the right to blockade the Celestial Abyss, their status must be extraordinary. Perhaps it’s the higher-ups of Chouyun Pass.”

Chen Ye’s expression turned slightly grim.

Not to mention detonating the Celestial Abyss again, right now he couldn’t even get inside.

However, since it’s Demon Cultivators from the future Chouyun Pass...

A moment later.

Chen Ye once again disguised himself as Qing Xuan, evaluated the situation, and headed towards the camp where a Foundation Establishment Middle Period Cultivator was stationed.

That person was the strongest Emotion Crossing Sect Cultivator nearby and most likely the one who traveled from the future.

As Chen Ye approached, he was stopped by Emotion Crossing Sect guards with stern expressions.

”Stop! The Celestial Abyss is a critical location, all idle people are subject to immediate execution if they do not quickly leave!”

The eyes of two Late Period Qi Refining Demon Cultivators were fierce, brimming with killing intent.

Chen Ye halted, intending to feign fear like a loose cultivator to gather information.

But suddenly, from the camp behind the Demon Cultivators, came a violent coughing sound, followed by a hoarse voice:

”Wait... let him roll in.”

Upon hearing this voice, the few fierce guards shuddered, promptly put away their Magical Artifacts respectfully, and made way for a path:

”Yes, Lord Tuoba!”

Chen Ye’s gaze sharpened as he looked inside.

In the dimly lit tent, half-leaning was a Cultivator in black robes. Half of his body was wrapped in blood-soaked bandages, his aura weak, his torso severely injured.

This person was actually Tuoba You, who had been captured by the Fake Pill monstrous offspring!

”He’s actually not dead?!”

Chen Ye clearly saw Tuoba You being pierced through the chest by the tongue of that terrifying Fake Pill fiend and dragged into the depths of the mist like a dead dog.

He thought to himself, ”Perhaps the Fake Pill fiend noticed me and my disciple and decided to abandon Tuoba You, coming directly after us. Later, the explosion of the Celestial Abyss accidentally allowed Tuoba You to escape with his life.”

Tuoba You dismissed the guards on either side, and only when there were just the two of them left in the tent did he forcefully sit up, coughing blood while staring at Chen Ye:

”Qing Xuan... it was you! What? Are you surprised to see me still alive?”

”It’s a relief that you’re unharmed, milord.” Chen Ye lowered his head, speaking softly.

”Heh, it really is you.”

Seeing Chen Ye’s demeanor, Tuoba You finally relaxed, muttering to himself,

”I was wondering why a Loose Cultivator would come to my tent at this time? Especially this Loose Cultivator, being you at that!”

Only heaven knows how despairing Tuoba You was having arrived in this world.

Initially, he secretly rejoiced, thinking he had traveled to the past and could pave his way with foreknowledge.

But he soon discovered that this world was exceedingly strange.

Unable to leave the vicinity of the Celestial Abyss, unable to communicate with Cultivators of the Emotion Crossing Sect from other places.

Furthermore, his Divine Soul showed signs of collapsing.

It was only then Tuoba You realized how perilous this world was!

What disturbed him more was that he couldn’t find a ”living” person whom he could trust in this world.

Until now, when Qing Xuan appeared.

Though Qing Xuan was merely an ordinary Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator in the original timeline, in this eerie world, an old acquaintance from the future couldn’t help but feel familiar.

What’s more, in Tuoba You’s understanding, Qing Xuan bore the Unity Seal of the Emotion Crossing Sect, his life entirely at Tuoba You’s mercy!

”Qing Xuan, oh Qing Xuan, do you know how agonizing these days have been for me in this ghastly place?”

Tuoba You took a deep breath and sighed,

”Since we’ve both suffered in that beast’s mouth and been caught in this world together, you must realize how dangerous our situation is now.”

Following his lead, Chen Ye revealed a trace of fear:

”You know best, milord. After I awoke, I found Chouyun Pass to be exceedingly eerie, unable to escape, driven into a corner, which made me dare to venture to the outskirts of the Celestial Abyss hoping for luck, unexpectedly encountering you.”

”You are indeed clever.”

Tuoba You nodded, ignoring the searing pain of his wounds, his gaze intensely fixed on Chen Ye, speaking in a deep tone,

”I won’t hide it from you; My Divine Soul is gradually disintegrating, this world is extremely dangerous, if we don’t escape soon, we will both perish... At present, the only hope lies in finding an exit within the Celestial Abyss.”

”Celestial Abyss?” Chen Ye feigned utter shock, ”Milord, inside lurk countless fiends, even that one...”

”Naturally, I know the dangers inside. But we have no other choice than to go in.”

Tuoba You gestured at the bloody bandages on his body, his tone helpless,

”I’m severely injured; forcing my way into the Celestial Abyss might not even get me to mid-level. Those lackeys outside are utterly useless. Qing Xuan, surely you survived till now because you have some skills.”

”I am willing to plunge through fire and water for milord!”

Chen Ye enthusiastically clasped his fists, his voice resolute,

”Milord, you are the pillar of Chouyun Pass! As long as you can lead me out of this hellhole alive, my life is yours!”

He had a slight shift in thought.

If he could truly leave this world with Tuoba You, he could gain Tuoba You’s and even the Emotion Crossing Sect’s trust as Qing Xuan.

Then, by subtly warning Tuoba You, letting him know that only cultivators from this historical period can traverse, his own identity would be completely clean—A Cultivator native to Qi Kingdom, later went to seek his fortune in the East Sea Islands, with no connection to Yan Kingdom.

”Good! I knew I wasn’t mistaken about you.”

Most of the chill faded from Tuoba You’s face, managing to produce a smile that was almost gentle,

”Once we’ve left this world, I will ensure you are admitted to the Emotion Crossing Sect! In the future, the Tuoba Family will be your support within the sect! Of course, all this hinges on you diligently working for me!”

He was quite sincere in this.

After all, this Qing Xuan was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator himself, useful, and had been restricted by the Emotion Crossing Sect.

Taking him into the sect, why not?

Chen Ye was naturally beaming with delight, ”Thank you, milord!”

Hmm?

If he could indeed enter the Emotion Crossing Sect, wouldn’t that be a good thing?

After the Celestial Abyss exploded, the outside world would definitely be in turmoil, and the identity with the Emotion Crossing Sect would allow him to find Su Su quietly and escape!
