Chapter 43: What's Going On?

Gu Jiangming instantly woke up from his sleepy state.

The current situation is, well, Gu Jiangming finds it a bit hard to describe, and before he went to sleep, he had never considered the possibility of this path of development.

But after waking up, when this possibility became reality, he felt it was unexpected, yet reasonable.

It cannot be called triggering a keyword; it can only be called triggering a plot.

【During the process of cultivating in the Taicang Ruins, you and Wang Qinghe spent your days and nights together, establishing the most basic social connection while studying your own divine abilities and cultivation techniques.】

【For the first three years, you both spent your time cultivating separately, and aside from a few casual chats, you did not have much deep understanding of each other.】

【However, as time passed, once the exit of the Taicang Ruins was completely sealed and you realized you might never see the light of day again, the number of times you conversed increased more and more.】

【In the process of talking, you obtained the other party's identity information.】

【Wang Qinghe is the daughter of Wang Jiangxing, the Sect Master of the Zhenggang Sect, and Zhenwu Mountain, where the Zhenggang Sect is located, is one of the Seven Holy Lands of the Central Plains; the Zhenggang Sect is also a renowned righteous sect among Human Race cultivators.】

【In the fourth year, you unleashed your sword art against the collapsed entrance of the Taicang Ruins, to no avail.】

【However, your sword technique became increasingly refined with each day of slashing.】

【In the fifth year of being together, you both continued to make your own efforts to walk out of the Taicang Ruins, and it was another year of no results.】

【In the sixth year, Wang Qinghe asked for your birth date, feeling that if you stayed like this, you would be bored to death, and you had to find something to do other than cultivation.】

【You exchanged your respective birth dates, but you expressed not the slightest interest in Wang Qinghe's proposal; you only wanted to cultivate, only wanted to break through, and only wanted to break out of the Taicang Ruins.】

【Your ascetic-like will and naturally proud character made you unwilling to sit idly and become a caged bird within the ruins.】

【In the seventh year, Wang Qinghe gave you a gift on your birthday.】

【"You blockhead, since you like cultivating so much, then I will give you the Zhenggang Sect's Cloud-Parting Lost-Track Steps."】

【"No."】

【You refused.】

【"This is a secret manual from your sect; I have no connection to the Zhenggang Sect, so how can I learn another sect's ultimate technique?"】

【You were stubborn and simply refused to learn it.】

【Wang Qinghe then spent her days wandering in front of you, performing the Cloud-Parting Lost-Track Steps; over time, just by watching, you had already learned seven or eight tenths of it.】

【You knew in your heart that Wang Qinghe was doing this on purpose.】

【This is the eighth year; you have learned the Zhenggang Sect's Cloud-Parting Lost-Track Steps, but there is a sense of pride in your bones, and you are unwilling to accept favors from others, so you also often performed that Nameless Sword Art in front of Wang Qinghe.】

【Wang Qinghe naturally knew that you wanted to learn her method and use the same way to teach her.】

【She smiled and said: "Your sword moves lie in the intent, not the form; if you just teach me like this, how can I learn it?"】

【"How about this, you cultivate well, break through this stone cave, and let us out; would that count as repaying this favor?"】

【Another three years of cultivation passed; your cultivation became increasingly refined, but in order to break through the stone cave, you specifically deepened your attainments in the path of offensive techniques.】

【And from Wang Qinghe's mouth, you learned about the current division of realms for cultivators.】

【The realms in this world are divided into ten major levels: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Crystallization, Golden Core, Spirit Gathering, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Enlightenment, Ascension, and Ascension Stage.】

【Qi Refining is the first step of learning to breathe in Spirit Qi; ordinary cultivators can only officially step onto the path of cultivation once they have learned how to absorb Spirit Qi.】

【Foundation Establishment, Crystallization, and Golden Core go without saying; these are all realms of constantly polishing while accumulating one's Spirit Qi foundation, and upon reaching the Spirit Gathering realm, one must cultivate various divine abilities and possess divine sense to perceive the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth.】

【The Nascent Soul Stage can be considered the sum of the previous realms; reaching this step, among Human Race cultivators, one can be considered a local expert, famous in one region.】

【And among the seven great sects where the Seven Holy Lands of the Central Plains are located, the sect masters of each are all mighty figures who have reached the Enlightenment Stage; as for the Ascension and Ascension Stage, those are entirely legendary realms that no one has ever broken through to, nor has anyone ever seen.】

【Wang Qinghe also said that within each realm, there are minor stages, but some people are born with extraordinary talent and can advance on their own without ever touching the threshold of a minor stage.】

【You watched the golden dragon image within your body become increasingly solid, estimating that you had already reached the Nascent Soul Stage.】

【In the twelfth year, your contact with Wang Qinghe became more frequent, and you tried to break out of the cave for another year, failing once again.】

【The experience of failure did not crush your will; it once again ignited your fighting spirit for cultivation.】

【And Wang Qinghe found some seeds of spirit fruits in the earliest tree house and watered the spirit fields here.】

【Adding color to an already dull life, finding things to do to enjoy the moment and relieve worries.】

【In the thirteenth year, Wang Qinghe had already become accustomed to the days of watching you cultivate and practice sword arts here, and you had also become accustomed to the days of Wang Qinghe teasing and playing around beside you.】

【.】

【In the fifteenth year, you crossed the first step of emotional interaction and entered a deeper realm in your relationship.】

【In the seventeenth year, a child was born here, and you named him Gu Shengxi.】

【Meaning that the future is far better than the past.】

The harvest is great, and the amount of information is huge.

But facing this situation, Gu Jiangming is more at a loss whether to cry or laugh; mainly because he never expected such a dramatic development.

But since things have reached this point, what can Gu Jiangming do?

He can only accept it.

The main idea is that one doesn't feel the weight of debt when there is too much of it; he already owed a debt in one lifetime, so he doesn't care about owing more in another, and besides, how can you arbitrarily assume that I was the one who made the first move?

Do you know what Custody is?

It is also possible that the other party made the first move.

Anyway, a life has been brought into this world, and Gu Jiangming has to shoulder the responsibility he carries.

He can't just run away, can he?

And after thinking for a moment, Gu Jiangming suddenly isn't panicked anymore.

Wang Qinghe didn't Mie Changsheng, so what is he worried about?

He doesn't know what happened ten thousand years ago, but the fact that the entire cultivation system was not preserved is enough to prove that a generational-level major event occurred.

It's impossible for someone to cross ten thousand years to hunt him down.

Besides, if I did what I was supposed to do in this lifetime and don't owe anyone anything, could I still be hunted down for thousands of miles?

If we're talking about blame, it's the blame of the previous life; what does it have to do with me, Gu Jiangming?

Furthermore, this is Wang Qinghe's past life, what does it have to do with the two of us?

With the person in hand, come with me.

We even have a child now; perhaps we can even develop new ways to play and see if we can create a peak moment where "my son has the bearing of a Great Emperor."

【Hint: Remember, a person's first life and a person's final life are both the most brilliant moments of this existence.】

【Often, a person's first life, whether in terms of talent or ability, is the strongest generation.】

【This is Wang Qinghe's first life, and it is also the first life of your eldest son, Gu Shengxi.】

There's even this kind of setting?

Then where is my first life?

Gu Jiangming does not even know which of his lives his self from ten thousand years ago was; he always feels that he is quite prone to dying.

Just like a glass person, shattering at a single touch.

This time it was purely good fortune that he encountered a noble person like Her Highness the Dragon Princess, otherwise he would have died back in Leping County.

As for the claim that the first life is the strongest... Gu Jiangming actually acknowledges it from the bottom of his heart.

Take the Zhu family dynasty of the Great Ming Empire as an example.

Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to be the first life of the Zhu family; without his shocking and extraordinary performance, there might not have been a Great Ming.

And in terms of orthodox bloodline, the last life of the Zhu family, the Chongzhen Emperor who hanged himself on the old crooked-neck tree, is indeed quite impressive.

Therefore, a person's first life has a high probability of achieving extremely high accomplishments.

Then what about the final life? Once you have reached your final life, you must have encountered some special situation that wiped out your soul entirely, leaving you without even a reincarnation; how could you possibly be doing well?

At the same time, Gu Jiangming is not the only one who was angered to the point of fainting by 【Mie Changsheng】.

Wang Qinghe, who slept until waking up naturally and was preparing to begin today's cultivation, was stunned by the scene before her eyes after opening 【Mie Changsheng】.

What is going on?

I slept for one night.

Waking up from a sleep, I became a mother?
