Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Boom! !
With a deep, resounding thud, the stone gate slowly opened inward, releasing an ancient aura that had been sealed away for countless years.

The fragrance of herbs and the rich aroma of elixirs invigorated all the cultivators present.

As the smoke and dust cleared, the entire ninth level of the cave was revealed before our eyes.

Unlike the ancient and austere atmosphere of the first eight floors, this place is like a miniature paradise.

Beneath their feet was a warm, smooth white jade ground, and every few feet there was a crystal-clear spiritual plant, its leaves rolling with dew-like spiritual energy that would turn into specks of fluorescence at the slightest touch.

In the distance, clouds and mist swirl, and one can vaguely see magnificent palaces and pavilions dotting the green mountains. A silver waterfall cascades down from the sky, crashing into the jade lake below, and the splashing water is actually fine powder of spiritual stones.

What's even more breathtaking is that the cave's dome isn't made of rock, but rather a dazzling starry sky, with countless stars slowly rotating, radiating a gentle yet powerful Daoist aura, as if the entire universe has been condensed into this space.

"This...this is the place where Immortal Emperor Qinglin attained enlightenment?"

One of the cultivators gasped in surprise, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

Just standing here, one can feel the spiritual energy within their body circulating wildly, and their understanding of the Great Dao is also subtly improving.

"Those spiritual plants... are actually the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass, which has long been extinct!"

"Those fruit trees by the lake, their fruits shrouded in celestial light, could they be the legendary Enlightenment Fruits?"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell, and even a composed cultivator like Wang Wei couldn't help but breathe rapidly. Only Lin Che remained calm, his attention drawn to a stone platform floating in mid-air in the distance.

In the center of the stone platform, there seemed to be a shimmering reflection of a mirror.

Just then, Immortal Lord Qing Shuang suddenly trembled, and his face flushed an unusual red.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, her eyes were filled with confusion and excitement.

"This aura... it's so familiar..."

Qing Shuang Xianjun muttered to himself, his steps moving uncontrollably into the depths of the clouds.

There were no dazzling spiritual plants or tempting treasures there, only a seemingly ordinary stone house with a string of faded wind chimes hanging under the eaves.

"Junior Sister Qing Shuang?"

Wang Wei sensed something was wrong and quickly shouted, "This place is unknown; you must not venture out alone!"

Qing Shuang seemed not to hear, her pace quickening, and she even summoned a magical artifact that transformed into a streak of blue light, rushing straight toward the stone house.

As you approach the stone house, the wind chimes under the eaves suddenly tinkle, and a gentle female voice seems to come from a distant time and space:

"Shuang, I'll tell you a story when Mother comes back..."

Qing Shuang trembled violently, and tears streamed down her face without warning.

Trembling, I reached out and touched the wooden door of the stone house. The warmth from my fingertips overlapped with a vague fragment from the depths of my memory.

“Mother…” Qing Shuang Immortal Lord choked up as he pushed open the seemingly heavy wooden door that creaked at the slightest touch.

Behind the door was not the treasure vault that everyone had imagined, but a simple stone chamber.

A portrait hangs on the wall. The woman in the painting is dressed in a plain dress, with gentle eyes and a little girl with her hair in two buns in her arms. It is Qing Shuang when she was young.

On the wooden table in the center of the stone chamber lay an old rag doll, with a small character "霖" embroidered on the corner of its clothes. Qing Shuang looked at all this, her body swaying precariously, and long-buried memories flooded her mind like a burst dam.

A mother's gentle embrace, a father's stern yet loving gaze, and the words he always said at parting: "Wait for me to come back"...

"Father...Mother..."

Immortal Lord Qing Shuang knelt on the ground, tears wetting the earth, and choked out, "So you've been here all along..."

The cultivators in the distance were stunned into silence by this sudden turn of events.

They had assumed the ninth floor would be a treasure trove filled with valuables, but they never expected it to hold such a heartwarming story.

Wang Wei watched Qing Shuang's trembling back, but ultimately did not go forward to disturb her. He simply shook his head at the others, indicating that they should wait a moment.

Lin Che stood at the edge of the crowd, gazing at the stone house. The Reincarnation Mirror in his sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly, and the jade slip in his sleeve was burning hot. The star map on it faintly corresponded to the location of the stone house.

Just then, several celestial treasures soared into the sky, and all the cultivators couldn't wait to start scrambling for them. The entire ninth level erupted into a frenzied battle.

Lin Che glanced at the other cultivators who were scrambling for the treasures, showing no interest in them, and then stepped to Qing Shuang Immortal Lord's side.

"Qing Shuang, can you sense the energy of the Azure Rain Immortal Emperor here?"

“There’s nothing we can do.” Immortal Lord Qing Shuang shook his head and replied calmly, “If I’m not mistaken, Father isn’t here at all… If he’s still alive, he should still be in the Rain Immortal Realm.”

Lin Che nodded. According to the original novel, the Immortal Emperor Qinglin was indeed still in the Immortal Realm. This cave was just a place where some magical treasures were left. The real Immortal Emperor was not in the Demon Spirit Land.

However, the things here are still enough to make cultivators outside tremble, and they also possess magical treasures similar to the Bottle Realm.

This magical artifact was seized and refined by Qing Lin after he killed thirty-nine Soul Ancestors of the Rune Clan from beyond the Realms. It can collect immortal energy and break through the sealing array surrounding the four realms.

There is also the Spirit-Worshiping Sheath, which was forged by Qinglin using the Immortal Gold from the Immortal Cleansing Pool. When used in conjunction with the Rain Immortal Sword, it can nourish and strengthen the sword spirit.

However, Lin Che didn't care much about the so-called immortal sword and the like. What he wanted was the top-level magic weapon left behind by Qing Lin back then, namely the world in the bottle.

This kind of thing is extremely important to the strong. If one can use their own strength to activate it, there are few people in the entire Cultivation Alliance Starfield who can be his opponent.

Qing Shuang Xianjun gazed at the portrait before him, exhaled a deep breath, then collected the portrait and, guided by his senses, led Lin Che in another direction.

About half a day.

The two arrived at a quiet bamboo forest. A pavilion stood amidst the bamboo grove, and on a table inside the pavilion sat a blood-red bottle and a guzheng (a traditional Chinese zither).

Upon seeing this, Lin Che and Immortal Lord Qing Shuang instantly noticed the two items, which were the most precious things left behind by Immortal Emperor Qing Lin.

The world within the bottle and the ancient magic zither.

Both of these magical treasures are already at the low-level Nirvana stage, which is enough to show how many top-tier magical treasures a powerful being like an Immortal Emperor possesses.

Lin Che had already seen the world within the bottle before him, but this was the first time he had ever seen the ancient demonic zither.

Immortal Lord Qing Shuang sat in a chair, gently stroking the strings of the zither, and explained, "This ancient demonic zither should have been a gift from my father to my mother. However, because the player of the demonic zither needs to be completely focused, it has remained here ever since."

"Li Muwan's personality is very suitable, so let's give this guqin to her." (End of Chapter)
