Chapter 1834 - 1832: Qiaoqiao’s Talent Is Truly Astonishing
Chapter 1834: Chapter 1832: Qiaoqiao’s Talent Is Truly Astonishing
"Yes, just yesterday at noon, I saw it too. You have to know, the place he’s in has undergone significant changes. It’s practically a small world now. Although there are no humans, there are flying birds and aquatic creatures."
The Gu Family Ancestor spoke leisurely, "With these things, other forms of life will gradually evolve."
"Do you mean to say that he’s now the master of that world?" Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but be astonished.
"You could say that," Gu Junbai nodded.
"Does he have other abilities now, ones that would allow him to travel through time and space?"
"Probably not. It seems he’s still working on that project of his. I feel like Chang Qing doesn’t want to return to the present. What he truly desires is to go back to before you and Qin Yize met."
At this point, Yun Luo glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, you understand what I mean, right?"
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, feeling a little restless inside. She certainly understood Yun Luo’s point. Chang Qing likely doesn’t hold any attachment to her at present; he wants to return to the era before she met Qin Yize.
But so what?
Gu Qiaoqiao sat on the sofa, clenching her hands. She has always considered Chang Qing to be like her brother, Zishu. She truly only felt familial affection for him, nothing else; it was true before, and it remains true now.
"...You shouldn’t worry too much. Even if he comes to this world, it would only be a projection. His true form couldn’t come. If he saw you like this now, he would probably give up."
Yun Luo spoke bluntly, but it was the truth.
"Yun Luo, when you see him, can you make contact?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked.
"No, I can’t make contact. I don’t even know why I can see him, and you can too. Is it because he deliberately tore open a temporal rift, or does he himself not know what’s going on?"
Talking about it, Yun Luo also felt a bit of weirdness.
For some reason, there was an absurd thought lingering in her mind: what if Chang Qing created a Gu Qiaoqiao guest in his world?
This person has a kind of perverse talent. It seems like fate doesn’t favor him, but it seems to have endowed him with many good talents anyway.
It’s unclear what fate intends for him in this world. If that’s truly the case, this world should be safe, but Yun Luo couldn’t help feeling uneasy.
However, these thoughts in her mind certainly couldn’t be shared with the two people in front of her.
She also had to go back to school soon, and no matter what, she had to stay by Granddad’s side before he passed away. A promise to care for him in his old age until the end had to be kept.
In this world, Granddad was her only family.
Gu Junbai cast a subtle glance at Yun Luo. He wasn’t clear about her thoughts, but he always found her attitude toward Chang Qing’s situation to be strange. He furrowed his brows slightly and looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, speaking gently, "Do you have any ideas right now?"
Gu Qiaoqiao pulled a face, "No, I don’t have any ideas. I can’t go to his world either."
Gu Junbai pondered for a moment, then said, "Actually, I do have a talisman here that I haven’t taught you because I myself haven’t fully mastered it."
Gu Qiaoqiao was shocked to look at the Gu Family Ancestor. What could be beyond the reach of her god-like ancestor? It must be extremely difficult.
Even the ancestor couldn’t master it, so she felt even less hopeful, and thinking this made her feel a bit disheartened.
Gu Junbai chuckled and shook his head, "You didn’t even ask what kind of talisman it is before losing hope."
Yun Luo chimed in, "That’s quite normal. Qiaoqiao is already a mother now. She has two children, so it’s different from when she was single. But I’m also curious, what talisman is it that not even you could master?"
Gu Junbai smiled gently, "I’m not an Immortal. There are many things I don’t know. Qiaoqiao, do you want to learn?"
Before Gu Qiaoqiao could respond, he added, "I know the process for this talisman, but I just can’t use it proficiently."
Actually, a while ago, Gu Junbai had thought about teaching this talisman to Qiaoqiao, because Qiaoqiao had learned a lot from him recently. He also realized that Qiaoqiao’s talent was truly remarkable. However, some things depend on opportunity. When that step isn’t taken, no matter what, one cannot proceed.
Therefore, he’s been waiting, and today may very well be the so-called opportunity.
Gu Qiaoqiao considered for a moment, then decisively nodded, "Alright, Uncle, I’ll learn."
At this moment, the three of them were in Gu Junbai’s courtyard. The courtyard was large and elegant, not to mention there was a Barrier set up around it.
Gu Junbai didn’t ask Yun Luo to leave, and Yun Luo seemed uninterested in leaving either.
She sat nearby, keenly observing Gu Junbai teaching Gu Qiaoqiao how to draw this talisman.
This intricate talisman was known as the "Heaven-reaching Talisman," as its name implies, it’s capable of communicating with the heavens. Drawing this talisman was extremely complicated and consumed a lot of Spiritual Energy. Learning to draw it might be easy, but utilizing its full potential would be very challenging.
Admittedly, Gu Qiaoqiao inherently has a special gift for these intricate patterns.
It’s as if she was born for such things.
Gu Junbai spent the entire morning teaching Gu Qiaoqiao.
But as for wielding its power, there’s no telling how much practice it would take, even Gu Junbai hasn’t achieved it yet.
This is different from other talismans; normally, other talismans form as soon as the last stroke is completed. But the Heaven-reaching Talisman does not.
Once you’ve completed drawing it, the spellcaster must use their Spiritual Energy and Mind Power to transform the floating, seemingly golden-light-constructed talisman into a Sword of Light. They then use their strength to send the Heaven-reaching Talisman skyward, piercing through massive clouds and barriers. Only then is it a true Heaven-reaching Talisman.
Yun Luo watched for a while but found it uninteresting, so she went off to play.
After all, her Special Abilities had nothing to do with talismans.
It was natural she would have little interest in them.
Having learned how to draw it, practicing was what remained.
Unnoticed, it was already noon. Since Grandma Qin and Shen Manru were looking after Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei, Lian Yuhong had been staying at home during this time.
After preparing a meal that her daughter loved, she sent Gu Qianqian, who hadn’t started school yet, to call Gu Qiaoqiao and the others for lunch.
She was surprised to find Uncle Gu was also there.
Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t seen the old man in over a year. Initially, she had spent the most time with Uncle Gu.
But a year ago, Uncle Gu went to the jade mine in Xinjiang and stayed there for a year. Fortunately, with the Amulet Gu Qiaoqiao gave him, the old man appeared as robust as ever.
