In a foreign land, with danger looming, it was imperative to leave quickly. When Xia Daoyun offered to carry him on her back, Lu Qingshan had no ti for hesitations.
At this mont, Lu Qingshan's throat felt sowhat dry, and his breathing had involuntarily beco much heavier, "The throne has been passed to you....."
Xia Daoyun spoke lightly, but the weight of this sentence was unimaginable.
Which ant that Xia Daoyun's current identity was...
Empress!
Thinking this, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but widen his eyes.
From his angle, he couldn't see Xia Daoyun's face directly; he could only glimpse her profile through her hair.
"Hmm." Xia Daoyun replied with a soft nasal sound and then instinctively twisted her neck—a side effect of Lu Qingshan's inadvertently intensified breathing landing on her skin through the strands, making her itchy and stirring an unprecedented, indescribable sensation within her heart.
"Why did you appear in that place at that ti?" After a mont of silence, Lu Qingshan asked again.
The vastness of the Abyss was no less than that of Sky Do Heaven; finding soone without any clues was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Even a Sword Immortal descending from it wasn't a rational explanation; if one could truly achieve it, only Ancestral Patriarch Xia could.
Moreover, how did Xia Daoyun know he was in danger?
"The Great Xia has ruled Sky Do Heaven for twenty thousand years, protecting the Human Race, leading the world with unified hearts for twenty thousand years, so the national fortune has long been closely tied to the Human Race's fate, blending into one," Xia Daoyun explained.
As Great Xia prospers, so does the Human Race, and vice versa.
"As the Lord of Great Xia, with the nation's fortune gathered in one body, I naturally possess a most enigmatic Qi Observation ability."
"When becoming a Sword Immortal, I saw the Human Race's fate increase by an additional fraction out of thin air..." The reason for the increase is not rely because the Human Race gained a Sword Immortal, but because this Sword Immortal is the Lord of Great Xia.
"But that's not all. anwhile, as purple energy ca from the east, the Human Race's fate inexplicably increased by half a fraction, converging continuously from the distant Abyss."
Lu Qingshan fell silent.
He fully understood the reason why the Seventh Tribulations Realm progression task [When Ti Cos, All Will Assist] suddenly completed—the precise mont Xia Daoyun ascended to Sword Immortal.
No matter what, Xia Daoyun was the Peak Master of Sword Coming Peak in Sword Sect.
Her becoming a Sword Immortal ant Sword Sect gained an additional Sword Immortal.
With Sword Sect gaining another Sword Immortal, being the Sect Master himself, naturally increased his fortune, thus allowing him to complete the Seventh Tribulations Realm progression task ahead of ti.
As for the Human Race's fate increasing by half a fraction, the probable reason is simply that he
However, as the Empress of Great Xia, Xia Daoyun achieving Sword Immortality only led to an increase of a fraction of fate. Yet his progression from Sixth Tribulations Realm to Seventh Tribulations Realm could increase the Human Race's fate by half a fraction?
Why?
"The Abyss is the Demon Realm, the great enemy of my Sky Do Heaven, suppressing and weakening the fate of the Human Race for these twenty thousand years. How could it possibly assist in increasing the Human Race's fate?" Xia Daoyun continued.
"Upon returning to Chang'an, I learned about your solitary venture into the Demon Domain."
Lu Qingshan's journey to the Abyss was a secret among secrets. Apart from Yu Canghai, Xue Wujian, Ji Chuan, and Li Shiyi, only Xia Zhao was inford—as the Supre of Great Xia, she had to ensure complete information flow to make better decisions.
"Coupled with the coincidental timing of purple energy's arrival, it's clear it is inextricably linked to my achievent of Sword Immortality. Considering this, the source of the half fraction increase in the Human Race's fate must certainly be found in the Abyss and that source was you, once my disciple."
After pausing, Xia Daoyun continued, "A month or so ago, I discovered that this recent increase of half a fraction began to dissipate, like rivers flowing, converging from all corners of Sky Do Heaven, continually streaming into the Abyss, and it beca clear you must have encountered so situation here."
A month ago was precisely when Luo Qiantuo followed Luohu's order, retreating from the frontline to Black Armor Domain, solely to assassinate Lu Qingshan.
"Thus, I followed the path of dissipating fate, traversing the Heavenly River Sea, entering the Demon Domain from the border of Liyang Domain controlled by the Northern Barbarian Demon Clan, and finally found the source of the fate's dissipation, which was you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but grin.
The ability of Qi Observation was originally ant to aid Xia Daoyun in governing the nation, but because of his unique existence—capable of influencing the fate of the Human Race single-handedly—the Qi Observation skill gained a navigational purpose solely for him.
It was beyond magical.
"Reckless," said Xia Daoyun, unable to help but criticize, "not to ntion sneaking into the Demon Domain alone, you've been acting like your life is inconsequential."
She already knew what sort of turmoil Lu Qingshan had stirred in Black Armor Domain during this period.
Lu Qingshan wore a bitter, helpless smile, not daring to explain or retort.
Due to re dissipation of fate, knowing he may have encountered danger, yet unaware of what specific danger, Xia Daoyun did not hesitate to control the sword across thousands of miles, rushing non-stop from Chang'an City in Sky Do Heaven to the Abyss Black Armor Domain, fearful of not arriving in ti.
After finally finding him, Xia Daoyun didn't even have ti to catch her breath before facing the life-threatening duel with Luohu's incarnation, which eerily appeared after decades of lurking, and had subsequently to flee with him, an absolute burden. She truly had no mont to rest.
In light of such efforts, with a guilty conscience, how could he dare to talk back?
At present, Lu Qingshan's situation was beyond terrible, and Xia Daoyun herself wasn't in much better shape, her complexion pale like gold paper, and her internal energy in extre chaos and rampant—all due to the unthinkable strength of Luohu's incarnation, even if Xia Daoyun had beco a Sword Immortal, she was no match.
