Chapter 1533: Struggle

If she wanted to murder someone, he would pass her the knife. If she wanted to take revenge, he would let her plan it.

She wanted to come back, and he once thought of stopping her, but he couldn’t win against her slight smile. He finally compromised and agreed.

During the entire way, she had experienced too much. He saw all of it, and his heart ached.

Back then, he risked half his life just for her to come back safely. If she was stubborn and was going to make the same choice, then he would do the same. Anyway, he still had half his life left to give her.

Rong Xiu’s tone was nonchalant and righteous.

Jun Jiuqing furrowed his brows tightly.

These words that were filled with the intent of declaring his sovereignty made him very uncomfortable. However, what was even more unacceptable was how calm and confident Rong Xiu looked even when he made the same choice.

He’s only doing this because she loves him! 

No matter if it were in the past or present, he was always one step late. Being late by a step, he regretted it his entire life.

That was because he knew her too well. Once she settled on someone, she would never regret it or change her decision.

Even starting over again, she still made the same choices—she still chose Rong Xiu. She still chose to enter the fountain in Million Wine Mountain.

“Jiuqing, Jiuqing?”

Yi Wenzhuo’s voice pulled Jun Jiuqing back from his thoughts, and he recovered his senses. “Master?”

“What are you thinking about in a daze?” Yi Wenzhuo looked at him strangely. During this period of time, Jun Jiuqing goes into a daze from time to time as if he were reminiscing about something. I’ve asked him a few times, but he didn’t say anything. 

Jun Jiuqing lowered his head and had a respectful attitude. “Nothing much. I was just thinking that this type of situation has never happened in Million Wine Mountain before. Now that it suddenly exploded, it won’t be that simple to suppress it.”

Yi Wenzhuo’s expression recovered a little. “I think so too. You need to know that the more you drag, the more dangerous it is! It’s a pity—”

It’s a pity that I no longer have too much say in the academy now. 

Elder Bo Yan and the others seemed to respect him, but they didn’t care about him at all. Elder Meng need not be mentioned as he was clearly on the opposite side.

In this sort of situation, the minority couldn’t find the crowd, so they could only look on from the side.

Elder Bo Yan and the rest stared at Million Wine Mountain with much focus as if they didn’t care about the conversation between the mentor and disciple.

Anger surged up Yi Wenzhuo’s chest. He took a few deep breaths and suppressed it with much difficulty. “Let’s just watch on! Coincidentally, you’ve just broken through to become a true god and have your own God Realm. I’ve taught you many times not to be proud and arrogant.”

He knitted his brows and said with much meaning, “You mustn’t be like some people who think that they’re invincible after having some slight results. In the end, you will suffer greatly.”

Jun Jiuqing nodded lightly, lowered his eyes, and hid the emotions in them.

…

Below Million Wine Mountain, Chu Liuyue was holding the Chi Xiao Sword as she chipped away at the rock at the fountain’s bottom.

Compared to the first time she was here, many changes had taken place.

The fountain water became cold from warm, and it was chilling to the bones. Even Chu Liuyue—who had broken through to become a true god—found it hard to handle.

After staying here for some time, even her four limbs started to become numb and cold, and her movements were stiffer. The scariest thing was that the coldness seemed to gradually freeze her bodily force.

Chu Liuyue already couldn’t quite remember how long she had stayed here, but she could clearly feel the circulation speed of the force in her limbs decreasing bit by bit.

Tsing! 

Tsing! 

Chu Liuyue clenched her teeth and urged her force to circulate, trying her best to warm her body as she wielded the Chi Xiao Sword.

It was a pity that the rock at the bottom of the fountain was very hard. She tried countless times and only left a few faint marks on it.

Actually, this was already very shocking. After all, many lightning bolts had landed on it, but it was still smooth and clean.

The Chi Xiao Sword was a supreme Yuan instrument. Additionally, Chu Liuyue’s current capabilities weren’t like before, so she could forcefully leave a few marks on it. If not, she wouldn’t even be able to leave a mark at all.

“Hu…” At some point, Chu Liuyue finally stopped and rubbed her aching shoulders.

It was really rare for her to reach this step, given her current abilities.

That piece of rock still didn’t move.

Chu Liuyue knitted her brows. This item is indeed strange. It is nearly impossible to carve a sealing Xuan formation on its surface. I… probably have to think of another way. 

Chu Liuyue looked up at the frozen layer of water.

Probably because of the fire blocking it, the middle of the ice layer—which was the opening Chu Liuyue had made—still hadn’t frozen over. However, the pattern on it could still be clearly seen.

Even though it couldn’t be completed, one could see a rough outline.

Suddenly, the surrounding water ripples came over.

A small vortex appeared on the above water surface. There were a few shards of ice left behind when Chu Liuyue opened up the ice layer, and they all silently gathered over.

Chu Liuyue furrowed her brows. Following this, she saw the lines carved on the thick ice flowing with the motion!

They dropped off from the ice layer and gathered at a position below the ice layer.

One line, two lines.

Very quickly, those lines intertwined again! It seemed like they were forming that strange pattern!

Dong dong! 

Low knocks suddenly sounded from her feet.

Chu Liuyue’s heart turned cold slightly, and she immediately looked down.

She saw the very thick rock at the bottom vibrating suddenly with this sound! It was as if something was about to shoot out from within!
