Chapter 572: Yin Qingcheng’s Choice
After all, we can’t dampen everyone’s enthusiasm.
So, Lu Ye started to coach each of these Quasi-Emperors one by one.
Honestly, many Quasi-Emperors, even though they have reached this level of cultivation, still have numerous flaws from their earlier training. No matter how much they improve now, they won’t be able to ascend to the level of a Great Emperor.
It’s a harsh reality.
But they’re not ready to let that go!
They’ve already reached the Quasi-Emperor level, just a step away from becoming a Great Emperor. Even if that step feels like an insurmountable chasm, who would willingly give up?
They frankly admitted that they only want to improve as much as they can. As for whether they can one day attain the path of an Emperor, they just seek to give it their all, no regrets whether they succeed or fail!
With such earnestness, what could Lu Ye say?
Even if he wanted to say something, the world above his Nascent Soul was telling him to shut up.
Sigh…
Lu Ye fiddled with the resources, letting out a deep sigh, realizing he was just too kind-hearted.
Lu Ye spent decades making plans for this bunch of Quasi-Emperors, painstakingly arranging everything for them.
During these decades, the entire Sixth Heaven basked in extreme peace.
Nobody was fighting at all; all the high-ranking folks were deeply immersed in cultivation, afraid that Lu Ye would ascend too quickly and they wouldn’t have a chance to receive guidance.
Dark Clan!
The massive altar had finally been completed.
The entire altar presented an eerie and fearsome form, with countless runes resembling bizarre, twisted bugs.
“Finally done!”
An Ri couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
This altar, named the Spirit Summoning Altar, was specifically designed to summon the divine spirits of the insect race.
In reality, the Dark Clan isn’t like the Forbidden Lands, a realm of outsiders; they belong to this world as its original inhabitants. Originally, there were quite a few such indigenous beings, but many have been wiped out.
This belief is known as the False Gods.
However, since the divine beings venerated by the Dark Clan are quite powerful, plus they possess considerable hidden abilities, they have remained to this day.
After such a long time, the belief in these divine beings is deeply ingrained among the Dark Clan. From birth, they are taught that making the divine spirit manifest is their duty.
They are the most loyal servants of the divine spirits.
Their lives, or the continuation of their families, are all dedicated to that grand goal of the divine’s manifestation.
In essence, it was indoctrination, much like Lu Ye in his past life, brainwashed into a state of devout submission lacking in affection.
Now, after so much time, the Dark Clan has finally seen hope for success. How could An Ri not be excited?
The core issue is that the Dark Beginning Insect Seal is very picky.
The Dark Clan can’t measure up to its standards.
Instead, whatever it deems worthy, the Dark Clan can’t handle.
It’s just absurd; if the Dark Clan can’t handle it, how can they impose the Dark Beginning Insect Seal on anyone?
The Dark Clan never imagined their own Saintess could find a female Celestial Lord husband for them, and one that is outrageously strong too.
The key point is that this husband is truly doted upon!
The Dark Beginning Insect Seal went down, and the other party didn’t even notice a thing.
An Li gazed at the colossal altar before her, her eyes filled with yearning; it’s almost here, it’s so close!
It won’t be long before the divine spirit descends!
Meanwhile, what has Yin Qingcheng been up to?
Ever since she last sought out Lu Ye, left speechless by Shen Xitang, she realized that merely using words to seek Lu Ye’s forgiveness was futile.
Yin Qingcheng fell into a haze of confusion.
She didn’t know what to do anymore.
She was no longer a match for Lu Ye.
What’s more, she didn’t want to enter the Emperor’s Banner. The reason was that she knew once she entered, she would lose all hope.
In her right mind, she still couldn’t regain Lu Ye’s love, let alone when she reached a state of mental decline.
But she also had no idea what she could do to win Lu Ye’s love back.
She truly loved Lu Ye so very much.
But what good did that do?
Yin Qingcheng kept pondering.
Was there truly a way for Lu Ye to fall in love with her again?
The harsh reality was, no.
Lu Ye wouldn’t even look her way.
Right now, it seemed she had only two paths to choose from: First, continue cultivating. As long as she could ascend to the level of a Great Emperor and endure until the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens’ laws wane, she could stay by Lu Ye’s side and use the rest of her life to prove her love for him.
Until her lifespan ran out.
By doing so, Lu Ye would surely be moved.
Even if Lu Ye no longer lacked love, even if she had betrayed him in the past, at least spending a lifetime making up for her mistakes could wipe the slate clean.
Yin Qingcheng was already on this path.
She knew Lu Ye needed the Four Spirits Treasures. Ever since he started having the Quasi-Emperors collect such treasures, she began gathering them as well, and she kept that up until now.
The treasures she acquired from the Sixth Heaven had long been spent.
She had exchanged them for a substantial amount of Four Spirit Treasures.
Besides this option, there was a second possibility: to face Lu Ye as an enemy again.
The Darkness Origin didn’t reach out to her for quite some time.
If she chose to oppose Lu Ye again, it was actually quite simple. She could just let herself die, enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation, find the Reincarnation Celestial Lord, and disclose everything to him. In that case, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord would support her.
As for how to make the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens’ laws decline?
That was even easier.
Just have the Reincarnation Celestial Lord beat the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord senseless within the Darkness Origin. At that point, the already weakened Sea of Blood Celestial Lord would naturally aim for a grand ascension. Then, when the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord and the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens’ laws clashed violently, the Sixth Heaven would immediately be cast into a state of lawlessness.
Facing this level of Lu Ye, wouldn’t the Reincarnation Celestial Lord be able to manipulate everything at will?
This would certainly be a brilliant strategy.
However, after long contemplation, Yin Qingcheng did not take that route.
Because now, she truly loved Lu Ye.
When Yin Qingcheng dismissed that choice, her Ultimate Emotion Dao began to blossom rapidly.
Even when she hadn’t rejected it, every time she recalled the moments from her past life shared with Lu Ye, her Ultimate Emotion Dao would continue to grow.
Yin Qingcheng felt heartbroken.
Because the Dao she now follows is truly the Ultimate Emotion Dao; she hasn’t deceived Lu Ye nor herself.
But Lu Ye doesn’t believe her!
This made her feel unbearably pained.
Who knew that the feeling of being disbelieved would cause such suffering?
Yin Qingcheng sighed.
She flew out of her cave and headed towards the Heavenly Gate.
Arriving at the entrance of the Heavenly Gate.
“Greetings, Fellow Daoist. My name is Yin Qingcheng, Lu Ye’s Dao Companion. May I enter to see Lu Ye?” she asked.
The guards at the Heavenly Gate looked regretful.
“Fellow Daoist, I’m sorry, but you cannot enter.”
“I’m just delivering treasures to Lu Ye. I promise not to disturb him unnecessarily.”
“Fellow Daoist, I apologize!”
