Chapter 127 A Blessing in Disguise
Falling Star Plain, above the depression.
Space suddenly distorted, and a portal of starlight appeared.
Two figures stumbled out; it was Qin Xiao and Fairy Yaoguang.
The light gate immediately vanished.
As soon as Fairy Yaoguang landed, she hurriedly helped the pale-faced Qin Xiao up: "Your Majesty! How are your injuries?"
The anxiety and concern in his tone were unprecedented.
Qin Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing, just a slight shock. I'll be fine after a short rest."
He looked around, oriented himself, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally out."
Fairy Yaoguang continued to support Qin Xiao, her mind replaying the scene of Qin Xiao turning around and braving the spatial turbulence to protect her.
For thousands of years, it slept in solitude, its sect was destroyed, and all its members perished.
When she awoke, the world had changed beyond recognition, and she was left all alone.
I thought that being born into the Great Dao meant I would have no more attachments, only the responsibility of revenge and inheritance.
But the man before her, the emperor of this era, repeatedly broke down her defenses.
They rescued her from her predicament and helped her recover.
He stayed by her side through dangerous situations, even at the risk of injury, to protect her.
That sense of responsibility, that decisiveness, that silent protection...
It was a warmth she hadn't felt in a long time in her long life.
Perhaps, this is fate?
Fairy Yaoguang's heart was filled with turbulent emotions; her once icy heart was now rippling with gentle waves.
After a moment of rest, Qin Xiao's complexion regained its rosy hue. He looked at Fairy Yaoguang and, seeing her dazed expression, couldn't help but ask, "Fairy, are you feeling unwell?"
Fairy Yaoguang regained her senses, gently shook her head, and whispered, "It's nothing. But... thank you for saving me again, Your Majesty."
She paused, then continued, "I possess nothing of value, only some ancient knowledge and fragmented inheritance. If Your Majesty does not mind, I am willing... willing to follow Your Majesty."
This statement may seem like just a statement.
But the deeper meaning behind it was clear to both of them.
Qin Xiao gave Yao Guang a deep look and smiled slightly: "I couldn't be happier if the fairy were to help me."
Having said that, he was about to use his divine sense to search for the location of the six women.
A strange tremor suddenly came from within his dantian!
Looking inward, he saw that beside the nascent soul in his dantian, there was a faint wisp of silver-gray spiritual energy that had appeared at some point!
The silver spiritual energy, as fine as a hair, swirled quietly.
It exudes a fluctuation that is completely different from the spiritual power of the five elements.
That's the aura of spatial power!
Even more remarkably, Qin Xiao's mind stirred slightly.
In an instant, a profound and mysterious realization welled up in my mind.
A sudden inspiration struck him; he extended a finger, and a hint of silver-gray quietly mixed into the five-colored light emanating from its tip.
Gently swipe forward.
The air about ten feet in front of him was silently torn apart as if it were a piece of cloth!
A dark crevice, about three feet long and no more than an inch wide, appeared out of nowhere!
The crevice was not empty; instead, it was filled with a familiar gray mist and a chilling aura.
It is the Land of Mysterious Darkness!
"This is……"
Fairy Yaoguang stared wide-eyed at the spatial rift in disbelief. "A boundary drawn in the void? Your Majesty, when did you...?"
Qin Xiao was also somewhat surprised, staring thoughtfully at the lingering silver-gray luster on his fingertips: "I just withstood that spatial turbulence head-on, but I never expected to turn misfortune into blessing and gain such good fortune."
He tried to channel more spiritual energy into his fingertips, and the spatial rift widened accordingly.
"Although it is not yet proficient and the scope is limited, it can indeed temporarily open up a passage to the Xuanming Land."
Qin Xiao's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "If Qingluan and the others also fall into the Xuanming Land, I can use this method to find them!"
Recovering from her shock, Fairy Yaoguang exclaimed joyfully, "This is divine assistance! Now that Your Majesty has obtained this spatial power, perhaps you can follow their auras to pinpoint their approximate location!"
Qin Xiao closed his eyes and focused his mind, carefully sensing the surroundings.
A moment later, she suddenly opened her eyes. "They were each swept into different areas of the Xuanming Land. We need to act quickly. The Xuanming Land is fraught with danger, and they might be in peril if they fall in alone."
"Your Majesty's injuries..."
Fairy Yaoguang asked with concern.
"He's out of danger." Qin Xiao waved his hand, his expression solemn. "Let's not delay, let's start with the nearest one."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand.
Five colors of spiritual energy intertwined with a silvery-gray luster, tracing a path in the air.
A stable light gate, about two zhang high and one zhang wide, was forcibly torn open!
Inside the gate, gray mist surged and a chilling aura swept over them; this was the Xuanming Land.
Through the portal, one can see an area on the other side filled with strange rocks and scorched pits on the ground.
The air still retained a scorching heat.
"Walk!"
Qin Xiao stepped in first, followed closely by Fairy Yaoguang.
In the Xuanming Land, there is a stone forest somewhere.
Li Changle's hair was disheveled, her crimson dress was torn in many places, her pretty face was filled with ferocity, and her fiery red flying sword was spitting out flames as she fought fiercely against a three-headed monster that resembled a lizard but had two heads and was covered in bone armor.
These three "two-headed Nether Lizards" all possessed late-stage Foundation Establishment strength, had thick skin and flesh, and spewed extremely poisonous Netherfire, in addition to their perfect teamwork.
Fortunately, the six women often practiced dual cultivation with Qin Xiao, and their aura and spiritual power all bore Qin Xiao's influence.
Even in the face of the suppression of spiritual energy here, one can still unleash spiritual energy to fight against enemies.
Although Li Changle had already reached the Core Formation stage.
However, they can only unleash two or three tenths of their full potential.
They were besieged again and were temporarily outmaneuvered.
"Sizzle!"
Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, a lizard swept its bony tail like a whip. Li Changle dodged quickly, but was still grazed on the shoulder, tearing her clothes and leaving a charred bloodstain on her snow-white skin.
"You beast!"
Li Changle felt the pain, her phoenix eyes filled with anger. She activated her golden core, forcibly drawing out more fire spirits. Her flying sword transformed into a crimson rainbow, slashing towards the Nether Lizard!
"boom!"
The lizard was slashed several meters away, its bone armor shattered, but it did not die; instead, it became even more ferocious.
The three-headed lizard roared and pounced again!
Just as Li Changle gritted his teeth and prepared to fight to the death, the space to the side suddenly distorted, and a portal of light opened!
Two figures darted out; it was Qin Xiao and Fairy Yao Guang!
"Chang Le!" Qin Xiao's eyes flashed with cold light as he saw his Daoist partner in danger.
With a slight thought, the power of the primordial space itself is spontaneously activated.
The three-headed lizards' attack trajectory deviated strangely, causing them to collide with each other and roll around in a heap, roaring.
Li Changle's pressure eased instantly, and before she knew it, Qin Xiao had pulled her into his arms.
"My husband!"
Overwhelmed with joy and surprise, her beautiful eyes instantly welled up with tears. "I thought... I'd never see you again..."
"How could I abandon you?"
Qin Xiao gently comforted her, while simultaneously channeling a gentle spiritual energy to help her heal.
Fairy Yaoguang then made her move at the opportune moment. Her moonlight ribbon swept across the area, its clear light washing over the three dizzy and disoriented lizards, temporarily forcing them to retreat.
"This place is not safe to stay any longer; let's leave now."
Qin Xiao put one arm around Li Changle and used the other hand to create space again.
The portal reappeared, and the three quickly retreated.
Back at Falling Star Plain, Li Chang Le calmed down a bit and quickly asked, "Husband, where are the other sisters?"
We're looking for him.
Qin Xiao said, "You stay here and rest. I'll go to the next place to rescue someone."
With his first experience, Qin Xiao became increasingly adept at sensing coordinates and opening passages...
