Chapter 772: Chapter 512: Finally Leaving_2
"Little Yan, aren’t you angry?" Lu Qing was stunned.
"How could I be?" Little Yan shook her head, "Actually, even if you didn’t tell me, I had some guesses."
"Over the years, your demands on my cultivation have become much stricter. At that time, I had a sense that you seemed to be preparing for something.
It’s just that since you didn’t say anything, I didn’t ask.
It wasn’t until today that I found out it was because your realm and cultivation had hit a bottleneck, and you hadn’t progressed in over ten years.
Is it because you were waiting for me to cross the tribulation that you’ve never set out?"
"Little Yan..."
Seeing Little Yan so calm, Lu Qing was momentarily dazed.
After a moment, he reached out and ruffled the girl’s hair with a complex expression.
"It seems my dear sister has really grown up. It’s my fault for always treating you like a child."
True, although Little Yan is already strong in the Golden Core realm,
in Lu Qing’s heart, she’s always been that obedient little sister.
So from time to time, he would subconsciously still treat her like a child.
Now it seems, his mindset really needs to change.
"Brother, is the world you wish to go to very far from us?" Little Yan asked.
"Hmm, without a special flying boat treasure, even a Primordial Spirit Great Power, relying solely on their own strength to traverse the starry sky, might take decades or even a hundred years to possibly reach."
"That far?" Little Yan was shocked.
She is now in the Golden Core realm, her speed is quite extraordinary. Even to cross the great states of the world, it wouldn’t take many days.
And those above the Golden Core realm like Primordial Spirit Great Powers, their speed must be incredibly terrifying.
Even such powerful beings would need decades to a hundred years to cross the starry sky. She couldn’t imagine what an immense distance that must be.
"Don’t worry, I have a Void Flying Boat. Traversing the starry sky isn’t difficult and won’t take as long.
If everything goes smoothly, it should take at most a few years to reach that world."
"A few years!" Little Yan’s eyes brightened, "Does that mean if you want to come back, it won’t take much time either?"
"That’s right. So this time, I can’t take you with me. I’ll come to get you once I’ve settled and ensured it’s safe."
"Okay, I’ll wait at home for your return!" The girl nodded repeatedly.
Feeling much more at ease inside.
To be honest, when she first heard her brother wanted to travel to another world, it was impossible not to feel nervous.
The starry sky is vast, who knows when brother could come back.
But if it takes less than ten years to go and return, that’s different.
In that time, she might just spend a couple of sessions in closed cultivation.
"Brother, when do you plan to leave?"
"In a few days. I’ll accompany you for a few more days."
Lu Qing was also in high spirits.
He hadn’t expected what he thought would be the hardest part to pass, ended so smoothly.
What surprised him even more was that the person he thought would be the hardest to convince, Little Yan, was persuaded so easily.
But when it came to Little Li, Lu Qing encountered difficulties.
"No way, I want to go with you!"
When Little Li heard Lu Qing’s intention to leave this world, he immediately said.
His tone was firm, without the slightest hesitation.
"Little Li, the world I’m going to is full of powerful beings, even with many Primordial Spirit Great Powers..."
"I don’t care, I want to go with you!"
Lu Qing was about to persuade, but Little Li interrupted him without listening.
Next, no matter how Lu Qing tried to persuade him, Little Li insisted on following Lu Qing out of this world.
In the end, it was Little Yan who mediated: "Brother, why not take Little Li with you?"
"But..."
"Didn’t you say that Little Li’s parents might not have perished in the last Cultivation Era but left this world with that Demon Emperor?
Perhaps taking Little Li along, you might find out something about his parents."
Hearing this, Lu Qing hesitated.
Over the years, ever since Little Li reached the Golden Core, he had shared with him some information about his origins.
Only now, with Little Yan’s reminder, did he remember this matter.
Little Li, upon hearing this, looked at Lu Qing with even more bright eyes.
Facing the little one’s gaze, Lu Qing pondered for a while before finally nodding.
"Alright, but Little Li, you must understand that what we said about your parents is just a guess.
There’s no confirmation that they really left this world back then.
Also, the last Cultivation Era was tens of thousands of years ago.
Even if they left, going out is like finding a needle in a haystack.
There’s a very slim chance of finding any news about them, so be prepared mentally."
"I understand, I just want to go with you, Ah Qing." Little Li earnestly nodded.
"Alright then, in a few days, you will leave with me." Lu Qing reluctantly said.
However, he thought about how the little one possessed the skill of Divine Skills and could change its size at will.
In fact, taking him along wasn’t that inconvenient.
He originally wanted Little Li to stay and keep Little Yan company, but the little one was just that persistent.
Five Elements, on the side, seeing Little Li could leave with Lu Qing, also had the urge to follow.
This time, after giving it a thought, Lu Qing simply agreed.
After all, taking one is the same as taking two.
Moreover, Five Elements is his Enslaved Spiritual Beast, and he’s unsure if the enslavement mark would remain effective over such long distances.
So, he may as well take them both.
He originally thought of leaving them to accompany Little Yan. Now, since they’re all going, he worries more about Little Yan being lonely.
His concerns, however, made Little Yan laugh.
"Don’t worry, brother. Grandpa Chen and the villagers are here, and if I get bored, I can always visit Sister Lingshuang to cultivate with her."
"It really seems like my little sister has grown up."
Lu Qing found comfort in his sister’s reassurances and simply ruffled her hair one last time, saying no more.
In the following days, Lu Qing did nothing but necessary cultivation daily.
The remaining time was spent accompanying Little Yan.
Fishing, gathering herbs, then whipping up delicious meals together.
Reliving all the experiences from their childhood.
Three days later, at the Half Mountain Small Courtyard.
Lu Qing dressed lightly, with Little Li and Five Elements each perched on his shoulder.
His master and Little Yan stood behind him.
"Master, I’m ready to depart."
"Hmm, be careful on the way. In other worlds, don’t easily engage in fights; prioritize your safety," the elder doctor advised.
"I understand, Master."
"Brother, come back soon." Little Yan’s eyes were misty.
Although she had been very strong these past days, she couldn’t suppress her emotions as Lu Qing was truly about to leave.
"Rest assured, within fifty years, whether I establish myself in the new world or not, I’ll return." Lu Qing ruffled the girl’s hair.
This was the timeline he set for himself.
Though fifty years is long, for Little Yan and his master in the Golden Core realm, it’s a blink of an eye.
Bear in mind, a Golden Core expert, even just entering the realm, possesses life spans extending over a thousand years.
"By the way, Master, I’ve left a Puppet Dharma Body at the Jade Cave, quietly cultivating.
Should you need any assistance, you can summon it.
And this Jade Talisman, it’s a token to my cave mansion’s Array in the Holy Mountain.
If you ever wish to cultivate there, you can enter freely with this token."
Lu Qing handed over a Jade Talisman to his Master.
"Alright, I understand." The elder doctor accepted the Jade Talisman.
"Little Yan, I’m leaving now."
Finally, Lu Qing ruffled Little Yan’s hair one more time.
He summoned the Void Flying Boat, carrying Little Li and Five Elements alongside him, became a streak of light, and soared into the high heavens.
