Dream King

Chapter 132

Although surprised by the Heavenly Emperor's attitude, the Demon-Sealing Tower has been broken, and demons are running rampant in the mortal realm. Now that all five elemental pearls have been found, the most urgent task is to return to Mount Shu to repair the Demon-Sealing Tower, eliminate the demons running rampant in the mortal realm, and restore peace to the world.

After discussing it, the group decided to split into two groups. Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan would take the Holy Spirit Pearl back to the Nuwa Temple to exchange the Water Spirit Pearl from Qing'er's body, and then head to Mount Shu. The rest of the group would take the remaining Spirit Pearls and return to Mount Shu first.

After Zi Xuan and Xu Changqing left on their swords, Jing Tian and Xue Jian disagreed on which mode of transportation to use to return to Mount Shu. Jing Tian thought that continuing by flying boat, although slower, would be more comfortable and would easily carry everyone; while Xue Jian thought that returning to Mount Shu by sword was the best option because it was faster, and the sooner the Demon-Locking Tower was repaired, the sooner the people of the world would be free from the harm of demons. However, the downside was that it consumed too much energy, and there weren't enough people who knew how to use swords.

"Saying there aren't enough people? You stinky tofu, you're just afraid of getting tired. Don't think I don't know. With your sword-wielding skills, you can easily carry seven or eight people by yourself. It's just that it's a bit exhausting. At most, we can rest a few more times along the way. Besides, with Master Mo around, we don't have to worry about not having food or a place to sleep, even in the wild. What are you afraid of?" Xuejian kicked Jingtian and said dismissively.

"Tired? Can you even describe it as tired? Seven or eight people? With your weight, you'd fall from the sky if you carried just two of them. And even if we could travel normally, with my current strength, I'd probably run out of energy before we got very far. In the end, it would be faster to use a flying boat." Seeing that Jing Tian didn't seem to be lying, Xue Jian quickly turned her gaze to Mo Mo.

Seeing the expectant looks in Xuejian and Longkui's eyes, Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "Do you really want to fly back on your swords instead of continuing to use the flying boat?"

"Mmm-hmm." Except for Jing Tian, everyone else nodded frantically, like chickens pecking at rice. Mo Mo smiled knowingly and said softly, "No regrets?"

Although they didn't know what Mo Mo was up to, they figured it was just riding a flying sword, so what was the big deal? So, despite their doubts, everyone nodded in agreement. Even Jing Tian agreed, even though he knew it was definitely not normal. But curiosity is something you can't just suppress.

So, to Jing Tian and the others' astonishment, Mo Mo drew his Dragon Hidden Sword and swung it at a large tree beside him, cutting it in half. Then came a dazzling display of sword shadows. By the time Mo Mo sheathed his sword and stood up, the tree had vanished without a trace, leaving only a pile of broken branches and leaves and a dozen wooden swords carved from wood that looked much like ordinary longswords.

With a wave of his hand, Mo Mo nodded in satisfaction as he watched the dozen or so wooden swords, still exuding the unique scent of the trees, float before him. Then, he rapidly formed hand seals, imbuing the wooden swords with all sorts of magical arrays: acceleration arrays, levitation arrays, protective arrays, reinforcement arrays, spatial jump arrays, spiral ascension arrays, double-stage acceleration arrays, triple-stage acceleration arrays, and so on (wait, something extraordinary seems to have slipped in). The arrays were countless, and after being imbued with various magical arrays, the entire wooden sword turned into a kaleidoscope of colors, instantly becoming a beautiful sight.

A few minutes later, Mo Mo stopped the various magic arrays and then distributed one disposable flying sword to each person. He put away the extras. Watching Jing Tian and the others accept the flying swords with a puzzled look, Mo Mo nodded in satisfaction. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but he never had the opportunity. Now that Jing Tian and the others had actually asked for it, Mo Mo naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity pass. Thus, Mo Mo's version of the 1.0 disposable flying sword was freshly made.

After receiving the disposable flying sword, Jing Tian and the others looked at Mo Mo with confusion, not understanding what he was going to do. Mo Mo patiently explained to them, "This is a disposable flying sword I just made. I've attached many magic arrays to it, and it's powered by my spiritual power, so even ordinary people without any magic power can use it. I've also added several layers of protective magic arrays, so its protective ability can easily withstand Xu Changqing's full-force attack without any damage. So you don't need to worry about any safety issues. The method of use is also very simple. Just step on the flying sword and it will automatically activate. Okay, try it out!"

Seeing the eager expression on Mo Mo's face, Jing Tian and the others felt a chill inexplicably in their hearts. However, they had made the request themselves and had agreed to it. Mo Mo was just complying with their request. Although they felt a little uneasy, they couldn't bring themselves to refuse. So they all threw their seven-colored disposable flying swords to the ground.

To their surprise, the flying swords did not fall to the ground after they were thrown down. Instead, they hovered a dozen centimeters above the ground, parallel to it. Everyone marveled at this and eventually jumped onto the flying swords. What surprised them even more was that although the flying swords looked small, they were exceptionally stable when stepped on, just like stepping on the ground. Moreover, there was a suction force emanating from the flying swords, which held them firmly on them. It seemed even more stable than the sword flight of Mount Shu.

After confirming that there was no problem with the flying sword, Mo Mo nodded in satisfaction. After setting the destination of the flying sword to Mount Shu, Mo Mo made a sword finger gesture and shouted "Go!" As soon as Mo Mo shouted "Go!", Jing Tian and the others flew out like bullets. Two or three seconds later, screams came from the front.

Chapter 370 Ah, the beautiful scenery in the sky is a magnificent rainbow.

With screams echoing, six rooms trailing rainbow tails shot into the sky, leaving behind six winding rainbows that resembled springs. And today, almost everyone in the human world can see these magnificent rainbows floating in the sky.

On the city wall of Chang'an, a lowly soldier was idly watching the crowds coming and going below the wall. Suddenly, he looked up and froze, for he saw an incredible sight in the sky: a series of magnificent rainbows had appeared. Why magnificent? Because some of these rainbows were S-shaped, some X-shaped, and some were even circular or spiraled like a sliced onion—quite strange indeed.

Subsequently, more and more people noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky, and gradually almost the entire city of Chang'an knew about it. As a result, crowds of people crowded around to watch this magnificent sight. Naturally, the emperor in the palace also saw it.

As the emperor gazed in awe at the rainbow in the sky, a eunuch beside him suddenly knelt down and exclaimed, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! This is an auspicious omen! It is a blessing from Heaven, moved by Your Majesty's wisdom. Our Great Tang will surely prosper for ten thousand generations!"

The emperor was initially troubled by the rainbow in the sky, fearing that if it wasn't handled properly, it could be exploited by someone with ulterior motives and cause very bad consequences. However, the eunuch's words enlightened him, and soon news spread throughout Chang'an that this was an auspicious omen sent down by Heaven in recognition of the emperor's wisdom, indicating peace and prosperity for the country and foreshadowing a bountiful harvest.

Subsequently, this claim quickly spread throughout the country, and because such phenomena appeared all over the country, the entire Tang Dynasty was filled with vitality. Whether ordinary people or officials, everyone was full of energy. In addition, the heavens were kind to them, and the weather was favorable throughout the year. As a result, this year truly became a year of bumper harvest, with grain production increasing by a full 20% compared to the previous year, enough for the people to have a comfortable and prosperous year.

Unfortunately, none of this mattered to Jing Tian and his companions. At this moment, they were experiencing the ultimate thrill of spiraling upwards and then plunging down a cliff. Just by listening to their rhythmic screams, one could tell how happy they were.

At this moment, Jing Tian was devastated. He was too naive. He actually thought that flying on a sword only involved standing on the sword. He had forgotten that there were countless ways for a flying sword to fly.

With a double-accelerated spiral ascent into the sky, Jing Tian's vision blurred for a moment. He seemed to see his parents waving at him from ahead. "Dad, Mom, are you here to pick me up?"

Meanwhile, Xuejian stared blankly as Longkui vanished rapidly into the distance, disappearing into the horizon with a whoosh. She silently wondered what kind of flight would follow. Then she saw Xu Maoshan, who had been flying steadily beside her, suddenly spiral forward like a drill, shooting away with a whoosh, leaving only a series of screams behind. Considering her own condition, she suddenly had a bad feeling, and the next second her premonition came true.

"Aaaaaah! I knew this would happen!"

Behind them, Mo Mo stood atop the Dragon Concealment Sword, following closely behind. Watching Jing Tian and the others fly in various ways, a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Although this method is somewhat crude, I'm sure your understanding of the sword will be at a higher level after this, no longer bound by tradition. I'm not taking revenge because you guys were showing off your love in front of me, absolutely not."

"Ah, ahhh, ahhh!" With a series of rhythmic screams, the disciples of Mount Shu saw several black dots in the air with colorful tails fly into Mount Shu in the blink of an eye. These things were incredibly fast. Before they could react, the black dots had already flown in. When these unidentified objects stopped, they realized that they were actually a group of people flying on swords.

With a "whoosh," Jing Tian immediately vomited. He had experienced countless spiral ascents along the way, and his stomach was already boiling. Now that the flying sword had stopped, he couldn't hold back any longer and vomited profusely. Xu Maoshan was with him, while Xue Jian and Long Kui were a little better. Although their faces were pale, they did not vomit. Hua Ying was in the best condition among the six, and her complexion did not change.

"Brother Jing, what's wrong with you? You look terrible. What happened? Where's Senior Brother?" At this moment, the familiar voice from the side pulled Jing Tian and the others back to reality.

"Oh, it's Chang Yin. It's nothing. They're probably just a little dizzy from flying swords. We'll take them down to rest for a bit. Your senior brother and Zi Xuan went to retrieve the Water Spirit Orb. They probably won't be back for another two days." At this moment, Mo Mo slowly landed in front of them on his flying sword.

"I see. I'll have someone arrange rooms right away. The sect leader and elders will be very happy to know you're back. I'll go inform them now." After saying that, Changyin instructed his junior brother beside him, and then quickly flew towards the Demon Locking Tower on his sword.

"Chang Yin? We're back at Mount Shu? Hey, don't go yet!" Only then did Jing Tian and the others realize that they had returned to Mount Shu. However, Chang Yin's words shocked Jing Tian: the five old men of Mount Shu were still alive.

He clearly remembered what Qingwei said before he left Mount Shu: the box contained the evil thoughts of the five of them, and once those evil thoughts were purified by Yaochi, the five of them would die. But now the five of them were still alive, which meant that the evil thoughts had not been eliminated. But he had put the box into Yaochi himself, and the Heavenly Emperor had told him that the evil thoughts had been completely eliminated. The Heavenly Emperor would not lie to him, so what was going on?

Overwhelmed by unanswered questions, Jing Tian even forgot about confronting Mo Mo. Xue Jian and the others were too exhausted to confront Mo Mo either. When Xu Maoshan inquired about the date, they were even more astonished. According to the timeline, less than two hours had passed since they boarded their flying swords. This meant they had returned to Mount Shu from the entrance to the Demon Realm in less than two hours, and they hadn't even traveled in a straight line. Keep in mind that it had taken them at least a month to travel from Mount Shu to the entrance to the Demon Realm, yet they had returned in less than two hours. The speed of their flying swords was truly terrifying.

A few minutes later, Xuejian and Jingtian finally recovered after finishing their hot tea. Their complexions returned to a rosy hue, and their spirits lifted. The group then began to verbally and physically attack Mo Mo, threatening and extorting him. But was Mo Mo the type to suffer a loss? Certainly not. Moreover, he was in the right, so Mo Mo refused to back down and argued his case. In the end, Jingtian and the others were defeated by Mo Mo's words, "This is what you asked me to do. I warned you beforehand, but you didn't pay attention. You're just too stupid. Is it my fault?" They coughed up blood and retreated.

Just as Mo Mo and the others were bickering, Qing walked in with a smile, looked at Jing Tian and the others with a kind expression, and said, "Children, you've worked hard. Get some rest. Leave the rest to us old men."

Chapter 371 Returning to Mount Shu

After Xuejian and the others left, Jingtian sneaked back to Wuji Pavilion. He carefully looked around before closing the door. Then he went to Qingwei's side, circled her around and looked her over carefully several times, and occasionally glanced at Momo, who was also sitting to the side and had not left.

"Child, I knew you would come back. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask. I will answer everything I know without reservation." Qingwei wasn't annoyed by Jingtian's scrutinizing gaze; she remained as kind as ever.

"Old man, didn't you say that you would die if you eliminated the evil thoughts? How come you are still alive and well now that the evil thoughts have been eliminated? Were you lying to me before? Or did our mission fail because the evil thoughts were not completely eliminated?" With Qingwei's permission, Jingtian finally asked the question that was on his mind.

Qingwei stroked his beard and smiled as he looked at Jingtian, saying, "I didn't lie to you before. After the evil thought was eliminated, the five of us would indeed die, and your mission did not fail. The evil thought was indeed completely eliminated."

"You said you weren't lying to me, that eliminating the evil thoughts would kill you, but now that the evil thoughts have been eliminated, you're not dead. Isn't that contradictory? Old man, if you're going to lie, at least come up with a good reason. Although I'm quite happy that you're not dead, you don't have to lie to me! Besides, now that the mission is complete, you don't need to lie anymore. I won't mind." Jing Tian sat down in the chair next to Qing Wei, crossed his legs, and said casually.

Seeing Jing Tian's expression, Qingwei smiled and said, "I didn't lie to you. The evil thoughts were expelled from our bodies. Although they are no longer inside us, they are still a part of us. Logically, we should go with them after they dissipate. However, some accidents happened along the way. After you entered the Demon Realm, our connection with it was suddenly severed, as if someone had cut off our connection. That's why the evil thoughts were eliminated, but we were unharmed." After Qingwei finished speaking, she nodded gratefully to Mo Mo beside her. Seeing this, Jing Tian understood that this was most likely related to him or his "master".

Since this matter concerns Mo Mo, he doesn't need to concern himself with it; it's a matter between Mo Mo and Shu Mountain. After emphasizing their agreement to Qing Wei, he left. They had been traveling around for this mission, leaving them physically and mentally exhausted. On the other hand, Mo Mo had pulled this stunt on their way back, so he was truly tired. Now, a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, and he could finally go back and get a good night's sleep. Just thinking about how Xu Changqing would return and repair the Demon Locking Tower, and Yong'an Pawnshop would belong to him, made him feel lighter and even a little lightheaded.

After Jing Tian left, Qing Wei quickly stood up, bowed to Mo Mo, and said, "Thank you for saving me, Senior. On behalf of Shu Mountain, I thank you for your great kindness. If you ever ask for anything in the future, as long as it does not violate morality, the entire Shu Mountain will repay you with our lives." After saying that, Qing Wei bowed to Mo Mo again.

"No need for that. I saved you because although you five were the culprits behind this incident, you did care about the world and once saved countless lives. And most importantly, I didn't like that thing. Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll go back." With that, Mo Mo got up and left before Qingwei could agree.

Watching Mo Mo's disappearing figure at the doorway, Qingwei felt a deep respect. To accomplish something and then leave without a trace, concealing one's merits and fame—this was the conduct of a truly virtuous and accomplished person. They still had a long way to go to achieve that.

On the fourth day after Mo Mo and his group returned to Mount Shu, Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan also returned to Mount Shu with a baby. Soon after, news of Xu Changqing returning to Mount Shu with a woman holding a baby and their intimate behavior quickly spread throughout Mount Shu, causing a huge controversy among the disciples.

"Hey, junior brother, did you know? It seems that our senior brother brought a woman back, and that woman was holding a child. It's said to be our senior brother's child, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"Senior brother, you only find out now? It's not just a thought, it's certain. The elders have known for a long time, and it's said that the woman is from the Nuwa clan and has been in love with you for three lifetimes."

"This woman is quite devoted, and she's a good match for Senior Brother. I just don't know how the elders will handle this. After all, our Shu Mountain is a cultivation sect, and disciples are not allowed to get married."

"Yes, I hope Senior Brother is alright."

The discussions among the Shu Mountain disciples outside the hall did not affect Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan, who were deeply in love inside. The two leaned against each other, teasing Xiao Qing'er, their faces full of happiness. The Yuan Shen Elder, who had rushed back in a rage to reprimand Xu Changqing, trembled at the sight. All his anger slowly dissipated in the warm and sweet smiles of the two.

"Is this what you wanted?" Yuan Shen recalled the past and realized that his beloved disciple had never shown such a happy smile before. Even when he received praise in the past, although he was happy, the smile on his face was faint.

Just then, Qingwei came up behind him, gently patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Changqing is very happy. I've never seen him smile so happily since I came out. We really shouldn't force the burden of Shu Mountain onto his shoulders. Perhaps he prefers his current life to becoming an immortal."

Just then, Zixuan nudged Xu Changqing with her elbow, and Xu Changqing snapped out of his sweet reverie while teasing his daughter. He quickly bowed to Qingwei and Yuanshen, who came out from the side hall, and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader, Master."

After the two nodded in response, Xu Changqing suddenly bent down and knelt on the ground, saying, "Changqing has failed the cultivation of Master and the elders. Please punish me, Sect Leader." Seeing this, Zixuan was about to kneel down as well, but Qingwei quickly stepped forward to help her up and prevent her from kneeling, saying, "No, we can't bear you kneeling like that."

“The two elders are Changqing’s elders, and I am Changqing’s wife. It is only right that I kneel.” As she spoke, Zixuan knelt down again. At this moment, Yuanshen suddenly pulled Qingwei away and accepted Zixuan’s kneeling with him. Xu Changqing was overjoyed when he saw this. He pulled Zixuan down to kneel and bow to the two of them. After three bows, the two of them were pulled up by Yuanshen and Qingwei.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master." Xu Changqing's eyes were filled with tears. He had never expected that his master, whom he had always thought was the most stubborn, would be so easy to talk to this time.

"Don't rush to thank me. Although I've agreed to your request, it doesn't mean you're no longer related to Mount Shu. You'll still be the senior disciple of Mount Shu, but you won't be qualified to succeed as the sect leader. Who told you to bring your wife and daughter back before becoming the sect leader? Also, since you've accepted Zixuan, you have to shoulder the burden of the Nuwa clan with her. Otherwise, don't blame me for cleaning up the sect." The Yuan Shen Elder's tone was as stern as ever, but it softened considerably towards the end.

"Congratulations, Changqing! When will you invite us to your wedding?" At this moment, Mo Mo and Jing Tian also came out from the side hall. They had seen everything that happened in the main hall.

Looking at the genuine smiles on Mo Mo and Jing Tian's faces, filled with joy that he and Zi Xuan deserved happiness, Xu Changqing felt a surge of pride and said loudly, "Don't worry, you'll get your share. There will be plenty of wine."
