Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

The woman in the red dress came to Su Li's side and sat down cross-legged in front of her.

Just like that year, the woman extended the wine flask from her waist towards Su Li.

"How about it? Want a sip?"

The woman smiled at Su Li and spoke.

"It's been a long time since I've had a drink."

Su Li smiled, took the wine pot from the woman's hand, and drank it down in one gulp.

Long Yueqing sat cross-legged in front of Su Li, showing no ladylike demeanor whatsoever, just as she always had.

Takizuki clearly has such a beautiful face, but her every move gives people the feeling of ruining it...

Su Li was quite speechless.

However, it was precisely this unpretentious nature of Long Yueqing that made Su Li feel a sense of closeness; this was the kind of woman who was truly his master.

It seems that no matter how much time passes, nothing will change.

"You shouldn't have come to this place."

Long Yueqing looked at Su Li, shook her head, and sighed softly.

"There's nothing I can do. I didn't want to come either, but I have such a troublesome master. As her disciple, what else can I do?"

Su Li's tone sounded quite helpless, as if she was extremely worried about her master.

"You can't say that. I've already been expelled from your sect, so we're no longer master and disciple."

So, Xiao Li, just focus on living your own life.

Long Yueqing smiled, her eyes crinkling, still as stunningly beautiful as ever.

"You are probably the first person to be expelled from the sect by their own disciple. However, it seems that it was not me who expelled you, but rather you who wanted to be expelled by me."

Our department does not condone this kind of self-indulgent departure.

Su Li looked directly into Long Yueqing's eyes.

"So what? No matter what, Yushang Peak is still well managed by you, isn't it? This proves that Master didn't misjudge you."

Long Yueqing reached out and ruffled Su Li's hair, just like she did when they were children.

Su Li did not refuse.

Su Li shook her head, ignoring Long Yueqing's words, and asked directly, "Master, why did you leave back then? What was the reason?"

In Su Li's view, since Long Yueqing had decided to come and see her...

This means that Taki Yueqing was already prepared to tell him everything.

"Xiao Li, how much do you know?"

"I know quite a lot, but not all of it. Xia Liuliu has also told me a lot of things, but no matter what, I still hope to hear you say it yourself, Master."

"I see..."

Long Yueqing shook her head, a look of reminiscence on her face.

"Actually, you already know most of what you need to know."

But since you insist on listening, I will tell you everything.

After thinking for a moment, Takizumi slowly spoke.

"In ancient times, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was very abundant."

It would be much simpler for everyone to cultivate themselves now than it is now.

This is because of the existence of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron.

The existence of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron resulted in everyone's cultivation level being generally very high.

Then there was a rumor at that time—whoever obtained the Heavenly Dao Cauldron and merged with it would...

Then this person can reach that supreme realm, the legendary Dao Integration Realm, and evolve into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, becoming the master of all things.

Therefore, at that time, countless people wanted to compete for the Heavenly Dao Cauldron.

After all, what we cultivators pursue is the highest realm, and in order to reach that realm, we can give up many, many things.

Xiao Li, you may not know this, but in the beginning, this Heavenly Dao Cauldron was also broken.

It would be extremely difficult to collect all of the Heavenly Dao Cauldrons.

It's almost impossible for one person to accomplish this alone.

So, at that time, we formed an alliance.

This alliance brings together the strongest cultivators from ancient times.

Together we searched for the fragments of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron and then pieced them together.

Finally, let's try together to use the Heavenly Dao Cauldron to ascend to the Great Dao!

At first, everything went extremely smoothly.

Everyone found quite a few fragments of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron.

Finally, we put these fragments of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron together.

It was just when the fragments of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron were being synthesized that someone in this alliance wanted to seize the Heavenly Dao Cauldron for themselves.

Those people turned their blades towards us.

I joined forces with that Teng Snake, the Human Emperor, Bai Susu, and others to deal with them.

That great battle marked the end of the ancient war.

At that time, some of us fought so fiercely that the whole world was shattered.

That's how the nine continents of the world were shattered.

You'll find out the rest in the end.

That is, the Heavenly Dao Cauldron was shattered once again, scattering into countless fragments throughout the world.

Then I severed the heavens and earth with a single sword strike, and that human emperor, who is now Xia Liuliu, established laws to protect the human race from excessive interference from cultivators.

After many years of reincarnation, I regained my memories of my past life during the war between the demon races, and thus became who I was back then.

Xiao Li, I know you have many questions.

For example, why did I take you as my apprentice back then?

Back then, you were just an ordinary cultivator. Did I really get drunk by accident and then bring you back to the mountain?

Actually, you know what, that's really how it is.

I was half-drunk and half-awake at the time.

I was walking on that snowy, icy ground when I saw you shivering by the roadside.

At the time, I thought, "This little boy is really pitiful. Maybe we should just let him take him home."

In the end, you chose to leave with me and return to Feather Peak.

And this is where we begin.

But gradually I noticed something was off about you.

do you know?

In fact, the Heavenly Dao Cauldron has never been complete.

And within your body lies the final fragment of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron; this fragment is your divine soul.

Chapter 815 Departure

"This last fragment of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron is your divine soul."

Looking at Su Li, Long Yueqing smiled and spoke.

"My soul is the last fragment of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron?"

Su Li's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Su Li had long guessed that her identity must be quite special.

But Su Li never expected that her identity would be so special...

"It feels unbelievable, right? That's exactly what makes it unbelievable."

Long Yueqing smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"But that's just how it is."

At first, I didn't believe it either.

Because the fragments of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron should be something substantial, how could they possibly be a person's soul?

In my eyes, you are just a little boy I picked up randomly.

But gradually, even if I didn't want to believe it, I had to.

The faster you cultivate, the more I sense the aura of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron within you.

Moreover, one day, while you were cultivating, the fragment of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron on my body resonated with you.

At that moment, I was truly certain.

It turns out that the fragments of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron can indeed exist in the form of a soul.

Or rather, the Dao Cauldron we were looking for in the first place was actually incomplete and broken.

Xiao Li, you must have felt something was strange, right?

At the beginning, your cultivation speed was very fast; you could be described as a genius among geniuses.

But gradually, your cultivation speed slows down, and eventually you find that no matter how you cultivate, it's useless.

I did this.

Taki Yueqing playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Because as your realm increases, the aura of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron on your body will become stronger and stronger, and many people will come looking for you at that time."

But I have many things to do, and I can't always be by your side to protect you.

Furthermore, even if I were always by your side, I'm really worried that I wouldn't be able to protect you in front of so many guys.

So, I set up a magic circle on you back then.

This magic circle will affect your cultivation.

Ultimately, your cultivation level will only remain at the Cave Abode Realm, and you will not advance any further.

In this way, you can become a minor steward on Feather Peak and live a peaceful and stable life.

Peace and stability are a blessing...

But I never expected that Xiao Li would actually surprise me.

You actually broke through the limitations of my magic, and your cultivation level is rising steadily.

Most importantly, I don't know what happened, but you haven't revealed even a trace of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron's aura. This is truly unbelievable.

This is fantastic news!

Even I might not be able to beat you now.

In a sense, you've truly graduated today.

Perhaps, this is fate.

"..."

It's impossible for Su Li not to be surprised when she hears the secret about herself.

But more than anything, it evoked a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection).

No wonder he was surrounded by so many powerful people, even Qianyun was a great power from ancient times.

It turns out that his own soul was a fragment of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron.
