"She’s doing well, very happy now."
Qing Nu listened and responded firmly.
"Is that so, that’s good, that’s good..."
Gu Changfeng nodded with great joy upon hearing this, but soon he sensed sothing amiss. He turned his head with difficulty to look at Qing Nu beside the wheelchair.
"How do you know this?"
Qing Nu, upon hearing this, reached behind her ear and removed the mask from her face.
The face, though mature, had changed very little, causing Gu Changfeng’s eyes to widen in excitent. He breathed heavily and struggled to rise from the wheelchair.
"Teacher, I’ve co to see you off on your final journey."
Qing Nu reached out her hand and held Gu Changfeng’s trembling, skeletal right hand, holding back her tears as she spoke.
"How... are you here?"
Gu Changfeng’s breathing grew weaker, but his face appeared more at ease as he looked at Qing Nu with a gratified expression and asked.
"He inford about you. I wanted to care for you in your final monts, so he arranged for you to be here."
Qing Nu briefly explained, but did not ntion who "he" was. However, Gu Changfeng knew it could only be Chen Mobai, the Orthodox Law Hall Master.
"Good, good, good..."
Knowing that Qing Nu was still with Chen Mobai, Gu Changfeng completely relaxed, his body unwinding.
The master and disciple then talked for a while longer.
Primarily, Gu Changfeng asked questions, and Qing Nu answered.
Upon learning that Qing Nu was already in the late stage of Core Formation, about to perfectly reach Nascent Soul, he bead with pride.
"Though I’m only a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, I’ve managed to teach a disciple about to achieve Nascent Soul Formation..."
"It was mainly due to his help, providing resources for Core Formation cultivation, otherwise, I wouldn’t have progressed so quickly."
Qing Nu, however, attributed the credit to Chen Mobai.
"Please apologize to him for . It’s fortunate that you two didn’t break up because of ; otherwise, I’d pass on with regret."
Upon knowing Qing Nu and Chen Mobai had beco a Daoist couple, Gu Changfeng finally released the words that had weighed on his heart for a very long ti.
Qing Nu: "Mm, he never took it to heart."
Qing Nu had heard Chen Mobai speak of Gu Changfeng, and she knew that although Gu Changfeng took her as a disciple because of the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor’s guidance, she could live in Danxia Pavilion after leaving the orphanage because of his help.
Actions speak louder than intentions; to Qing Nu, Gu Changfeng’s deeds were acts of kindness.
"With him by your side, I can rest assured."
Having said this, Gu Changfeng closed his eyes with a satisfied smile, unburdened.
Qing Nu sensed his pulse wholly disappear, and tears finally fell from her snowy cheeks.
A silvery light illuminated the room, and Chen Mobai appeared beside Qing Nu. Unable to hold back, she threw herself into his arms, weeping.
"Death is like a lamp extinguished; everyone faces it one day, but I hope that the two of us can walk hand in hand to the end of ti."
Chen Mobai embraced Qing Nu, comforting her.
Upon hearing this, Qing Nu lifted her head, firmly nodded, "Mm."
In the absence of news from Kong Feichen and Yang Jing and after losing Gu Changfeng, Qing Nu only had Chen Mobai as a family.
She didn’t want to experience the pain of losing a loved one again.
Nor did she want Chen Mobai to feel the sadness of losing her.
So she would put unprecedented effort into keeping up with Chen Mobai’s cultivation.
Never before had Qing Nu’s Dao Heart been this resolute.
And at this mont, her spiritual power surged like a tide, shattering the last remnant of her bottleneck in an instant.
A surge of spiritual power, vast like the abyssal sea, burst from within her, bearing a perfect balance of energy; if not for Chen Mobai swiftly employing a void lock to contain it, both Yu Wood City and even neighboring Red Sandstone City might have sensed her breakthrough to Core Formation.
Chen Mobai imdiately transferred Qing Nu to his Domain, then arranged a Spirit Gathering Array with Superior Grade Spirit Stones around her to supply the spiritual energy necessary for her to reach Perfect Core Formation.
Over the years, under Chen Mobai’s influence, Qing Nu had been constantly consuming elixirs to advance, storing ample spiritual power within her.
Yet she had always struggled to pass the final threshold to Perfect Core Formation.
Unexpectedly, it was in the mont of Gu Changfeng’s death that she understood her core and overca the obstacle.
The Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture practiced by Qing Nu at this ti transford into a dark and profound vortex centered on her, relentlessly absorbing and refining all the pure spiritual energy from the Spirit Gathering Array into Abyss True Water.
The efficiency of her refining was sothing Chen Mobai had never seen before.
It was almost comparable to the efficiency he had in refining nature’s spiritual energy after forming a Nascent Soul, practicing with the Pure Yang Scroll.
And Qing Nu had just reached Perfect Core Formation, underscoring the fearso power of the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture.
However, it was precisely because of this cultivation technique that, in ancient tis in the Tianhe Realm, it beca one of the sources of the Demon Path.
Refining nature’s spiritual energy with the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture allows one to possess the efficiency of Nascent Soul at Perfect Core Formation. If it refined a cultivator’s spiritual power directly, it would be even more effective.
This is the Devouring Sea Demonic Art.
Qing Nu took ten years longer than Yin Qingi to reach the late stage of Core Formation, but the ti to reach Perfect Core Formation was about the sa.
Aside from the sufficient supply of elixirs, the main reason was this Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture.
