Chapter 633: Living One's Own Life.jpg

Qingzhuan Dojo.

Sikong Yu's stone statue remained tilted; although the truth had been exposed, he did not intend to compromise just like that, and was still waiting for a good child willing to help him straighten it up.

He simply refused to believe it; having cultivated so many sect members and disciples, could there really not be a single one willing to take the initiative to help their own Sect Leader?

That couldn't be; there must be a good child out there!

Even if he needed to spend a long time waiting, it didn't matter; he had a long life, after all, and he would definitely wait until he found one.

【"Oh my, I hope I can wait until the era arrives... that should be possible, right?"】

The tone of the supreme old fogey also carried a hint of doubt.

Thinking about it carefully, he had been a stone statue for quite some time, and there were no shortage of people qualified to enter the Qingzhuan Dojo, yet not a single one was willing to lend a hand.

Could it be... that the problem actually lies with me, the Sect Leader? Making them mistakenly believe that I am enjoying this?

Thump, thump.

Chongzhou City, an inn.

Then don't blame me for exposing your secrets.

"Hmm, I remember there was a woman who was the most famous back then; not only was she the number one beauty in the world at the time, but she was also highly skilled and had the potential to ascend as an Immortal. What was her name again..."

【"Sigh... fine, I'll confess honestly, is that enough?"】 Sikong Yu compromised helplessly, finally stopping his act of playing dumb, and said: 【"The truth of those years, our goals, and even the mission he carries—I told him everything."】

"I see..."

【"... Hiss."】

Ren Yidao's mouth twitched; he thought for a moment, then decisively issued an invitation.

After Shen Bao left, the Qingzhuan Dojo returned to tranquility... or so he thought.

【"... Really?"】 Xinying looked at Sikong Yu suspiciously, muttering with an unkind expression: 【"Grandmaster, you mustn't lie to people!"】

【"Cough! Stop! Stop! That, um, let's not bring up the past anymore, and besides! Back then I was called Long Haotian! Not Long Ritian! And certainly not some Hero Ritian!"】

You old thing, you're ignoring me, aren't you?

Xinying searched around but did not find Ren Yidao's figure; she pouted and complained unhappily to Sikong Yu: 【"Where is Father? Why is he gone again!"】

Even though this news came from the mouth of the Hunyuan Heavenly Girl, Yaochi still found it hard to believe.

Once any misunderstanding existed, they would quickly resolve it without any delay.

"... This subordinate understands." Although the Demon God still wanted to say something, having felt Sikong Yu's will, he spoke no more. "Since that is the case, this subordinate trusts His Majesty's judgment. Everything is left to His Majesty to handle; this subordinate will take his leave now."

【"You all are just too impatient. Since you chose him, then trust him properly."】

Sikong Yu did not know exactly what had happened, and he didn't have the leisure to keep an eye on it, but he believed that Ren Yidao was not the type of person to abandon everyone and run away.

The person who came was somewhat worried; although he was a Demon God, after so many years of being together day and night, he had long since come to regard the Divine Path Sect disciples as his own children.

The mist on the Demon God's face dissipated, revealing an aged countenance.

Demon God:?

【"Also, Yidao has likely guessed your identity. He told me to have you teach the introductory disciples more simply in the future."】

Sikong Yu coughed twice, interrupting the other's recollection, and then stubbornly retorted: 【"I was just feeling a bit bored back then, which is why I went out on my own initiative. The Heavenly Emperor's wretched curse had just been lifted; you all had to let me go out and move around!"】

Through these years of getting along, these people had long since grown accustomed to Sikong Yu's true personality.

But Sikong Yu did not think so, and retorted: 【"What are you thinking? It is not early at this moment; I even feel it is a bit late. Do not underestimate Yidao; if he wants to enter the Heaven Realm, he can do so at any time."】

"And every time Hero Ritian revealed his divine might, your true body was in deep slumber. We had all discovered it long ago, but no one mentioned it on purpose."

I was a Heavenly God back then; what is wrong with being called Haotian?

As for the surname Long, heh, being able to let me use Long as a surname is the Dragon Race's honor!

The Heavenly Court is gone, so there is no need to dwell on the old concepts of status and hierarchy.

Is it really like that?

"I'm here! What are you doing... uh? Is this a bad time?"

The person who arrived was silent for a moment before sighing, then shook their head, also feeling somewhat emotional: "His Majesty was not like he is today back then. I remember the fake name you were using should have been Long, Long Ritian?"

【"Hiss... when did you come back?"】

Those ten Immortal Gods who were willing to offer up their own Dao for the sake of all living beings and then follow Sikong Yu away—naturally, it was not just Immortals; among the Demon Gods, there were also those who voluntarily sacrificed themselves.

Since His Majesty the Heavenly God had his own judgment, then they would continue to choose to trust him. They had followed him away and founded this sect here precisely because they trusted him back then.

Sikong Yu felt a wave of shame; after thinking for a moment, he added: 【"... Uh, it might not be too fast, um, understood! He will definitely be back tomorrow."】

Yaochi looked at Sikong Yu strangely, her eyes full of suspicion, and said oddly: "Hero Ritian, what a bold and unconstrained name. I never expected you to have such an experience back then."

"... Sigh."

"His Majesty's private talk with Yidao this time must have revealed a lot to him, otherwise he wouldn't have hidden his aura and left the mountain gate."

"I didn't even hold it against him for eavesdropping and sleeping back then, yet he even criticized me. Honestly... hehe."

【"Oh? Why have you come?"】

Divine Path Sect Transmission Elder—Shen Bao.

【"Mm, rest assured, I am here for everything."】

【"Everything, without reservation."】

【"That's good, otherwise, I'm afraid that kid might trip you all up in the future..."】

【"Ahahaha, haha, Haotian, it is Haotian."】

The Demon God smiled silently, then nodded, indicating that he would say no more.

【"Let me think, the last time you took the initiative to visit me was two thousand years ago."】

Fine.

It's about to kick off!

Not wanting to let this little ancestor get angry, Sikong Yu hurriedly coaxed, helping Ren Yidao cover: 【"Ah, your father has urgent matters to handle right now, he will be back very soon."】

And Ren Yidao was the most outstanding among them, and also the one who brought them the most surprises; He did not want such a heaven-gifted talent, or even a key figure of the future, to develop any unnecessary misunderstandings with Them.

"How do I know? Hehe, how could this subject not know! At that time, it was known to all, understood by everyone."

【"Ugh!"】 Sikong Yu's stone statue shook, shedding quite a bit of dust, 【"That name, you, how do you know it!?"】

Sikong Yu's words made the Demon God freeze for a moment, his expression becoming somewhat strange, then he gave a helpless chuckle, walked away slowly with a hunched body, muttering as he walked: "Tsk, you let him come and tell me himself."

"……Since you've come, you've come at just the right time."

【"Furthermore, I believe that with his intelligence, he will naturally have his own judgment; although he will trust us, he will not trust us completely."】

If one were to say the Heavenly Emperor was a hero who calculated everything, then the Heavenly God was an overlord who could swallow the world with his spirit.

Although she was not qualified to converse in detail with His Majesty the Heavenly God back then, she had also watched from afar with reverence, leaving a deep impression in her heart.

Not just anyone has the qualifications or ability to explain the simplified Descent of the Gods.

Not a single one!

Sikong Yu was somewhat surprised; he did not expect that someone would actually come to his Daoist Field at this time.

If one were to ask who in this world had the most confidence in Ren Yidao, Sikong Yu would definitely count as one of them.

"Then why would he leave…… is it a bit too early? That's right, he hasn't entered the Heaven Realm yet, his strength is insufficient, he still cannot feel that sense of lack, so he naturally has doubts about this."

Sikong Yu:!??

Because there were other Immortal Gods present, Sikong Yu usually did not have deep control over the entire Divine Path Sect; unless there was something endangering the sect, He remained in a state of semi-slumber, only reacting to crises and remaining unaware of the detailed matters occurring between the disciples.

Clearly, this was an Immortal God hiding in the Divine Path Sect, and judging by how He addressed Sikong Yu, this was even more so a Demon God.

Is He, truly that great person?

His Majesty the Heavenly God, who was as famous as His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor?

For one person, half a day should be enough, right?

Nowadays, the Heavenly Emperor has been plotted against by his son, and the Heavenly God has also become what he is now.

The Demon God pondered for a moment and finally reached a conclusion—it was not yet time.

Listening to Sikong Yu's dry laugh, the suspicion in Yaochi's heart grew thicker.

The Demon God smiled, revealing a nostalgic expression, and sighed: "You caused quite a stir in the pugilistic world back then, causing I don't know how many women to grieve……"

Just as Sikong Yu was doubting himself and thinking about whether to change to a different method, a light knocking sound rang out outside the Daoist Field.

"I came this time also wanting to ask on behalf of others what exactly you two discussed? Did Yidao develop any misunderstandings? If he misunderstood something, I can appear and explain it to him."

Xinying was very unhappy.

The Demon God was silent for a moment, rubbing his temples with a headache; although his strength had long since ceased to require such actions, so many years of disguise had made him accustomed to such reactions.

Sikong Yu looked him up and down, sighing with emotion: 【"At that time, you were not in this state."】

Most of the irredeemable regrets in the world start from nothing more than a small misunderstanding.

"All of it?"

"It has been a while."

But compared to the visitor's worry, Sikong Yu appeared very unreliable; He did not answer, but instead spoke of other things, ignoring the question.

【"The separation between immortal and mortal is not even a problem for ordinary Immortal Gods; do you think it will stop him? You are greatly mistaken. That barrier is as nothing to him; as long as he has the heart, he can break it easily."】

"Hehe, then we shall see His Majesty's performance."

How could it be exposed? I clearly made full preparations back then!

Sikong Yu's voice was somewhat distorted, his golden Divine Soul wiped away sweat that did not exist, and he gave a dry laugh at Yaochi, who was holding Xinying and standing on the crystal coffin at some unknown time, 【"Ahahaha, didn't you go to find the Hunyuan Heavenly Maiden to reminisce?"】

【"His talent is even greater than mine was back then, to the point that even I feel inferior."】

"Yaoyue!!? You, how are you? Ah?"

Is it really Him?

Even one of the two supreme beings of the world in the past felt inferior.

【"Enough! I already said don't say any more! Save some face for this old man."】 Sikong Yu shouted, directly controlling the domain to seal the other party's ability to speak, and smiled bitterly: 【"This old man admits his mistake, I shouldn't have dodged the question, just show mercy!"】

Since he didn't betray the sect to leave, then let him go; why worry about so much?

Young people have their own lives!

But the stressed-out Sikong Yu did not believe it, confirmed it three times, and finally suspiciously untied the restraints on the other party, still feeling it wasn't safe, and threatened viciously: 【"I advise you not to talk nonsense!"】

This kid shouldn't be that inhuman, right?

……

Even now, Sikong Yu did not feel there was any problem with that name.

In this world, where are there still true people of the Heavenly Court? If one must say, these people of the Divine Path Sect are the ones who count as the orthodox Heavenly Court.

Yaochi had originally thought about one day being able to leave here and reunite with other people of the Heavenly Court, but now it seemed it was just her own wishful thinking.

And as she separated from Yaochi, Sikong Yu sensed Yaochi's aura again, and the guess in His heart was confirmed.

And Xinying did not know Yaochi's thoughts; she endured for a good while, and seeing that the other party had no intention of letting her go, her figure became illusory, and she ran directly out of Yaochi's arms.

Sikong Yu comforted the Demon God again, gave him a few reassurances, then remembered something and hurriedly reminded: 【"Additionally, regarding why he left the mountain gate at this time, I advise you not to ask too much, absolutely do not follow him, don't worry about this, it will do you no good!"】

Thinking carefully, there were actually not many points where he was exposed, but one point alone was enough to reveal the truth.

"……Understood." The Demon God blinked; although he did not know why His Majesty the Heavenly God was suddenly so agitated, he still chose to listen honestly, "We did not investigate before, and we will not in the future."

"There is no time like the present, shall we go together?"

And this trust was not mindless favoritism, but stemmed from understanding.

The deeper the understanding, the more one sighed with emotion.

Him?

"Your Majesty, have you already told Yidao the truth?" An illusory figure with an unclear face walked in slowly and arrived before the stone statue.

All that talk of "abusing your husband is fun for a moment, but chasing him is a crematorium," or "it was just a missed connection at the time"... it's all pure nonsense; instead of wasting time feeling regretful after the fact, it would be better to open your mouth and explain early on—what can't be resolved by talking it out?

Communication is very important.

"..." Yaochi fell silent, feeling for a moment that the future was dark.

The Heaven and Earth have undergone a great change, and she is neither living nor dead...

Although he has many points to complain about in daily life and looks like an unreliable old thing, Sikong Yu is, after all, a former Heaven God, and he has his own judgment on many matters.

"Then, is it appropriate?"

"Since you have already come, then it is appropriate."

Even if it is not appropriate, it must be made appropriate.
