Above The Sky Chapter 7

The era of ancient mighty G.o.ds has ended. Those remote stories only existed in myths.

As the G.o.d of Spring living in the east, the Emperor of Green was one of the five emperors who were much stronger than the common people. But now, he disappeared from the world. No one knew where his spirit went.

Xie Yao has read many novels about the protagonist becoming a top Dao seeker after getting all sorts of succession by accidents. But this kind of events falling on him made him uneasy. He would feel better if it was a normal senior mighty person. However, the renown of the Emperor of Green was too great for him to believe the succession was true. Besides, he did not believe in the hundred-year-old Song Liyou who was not a truth teller.

Yun Qing was the one who made decisions now. Although she stated her doubt about Song Liyou explicitly, she had to do as Song Liyou said, because they knew no matter how uncertain the chance was, they had to bet their lives for it even it was a trap.

They knew if they missed this chance, they may never come across another one throughout their whole life and end up as a normal person.

Xie Yao was preoccupied with his own thoughts, riding the mule toward the deeper mountain, without noticing that he has fallen far behind others

Far away from the official road, the deep mountains and forests where the dim light had been pervading since the beginning of the age leaded those lost people to unknown place.

"A Mang." Yun Qing listened to the footsteps carefully and found there were only three people.

A Mang stopped and touched Yun Qing's finger to comfort him once he felt Yun Qing pinch him on his ear.

"Where is Dao Yuan?" Yun Qing observed for a while and asked. There's no doubt about whom she was asking.

"He is a burden anyway. It's better without him." Song Liyou raised his eyebrows and walked to Yun Qing viciously, "There are numerous successions in the Million Mountain. Why do you risk this?"

"Where is Dao Yuan?" Yun Qing asked without answering.

"Don't care about him anymore. Tell me, little girl, Do you know anything about the Well Palace?" Song Liyou walked closer confidently with his hands behind him.

"Why?" Yun Qing smiled suddenly and asked him curiously.

"Every Dao seeker knows that most of reappearance of ancient sites are fake. Even if it's true, it's the trick of those precedent mighty people fifty thousand years ago. No one dares to take it easily." Song Liyou a.n.a.lyzed, "But you followed me without hesitation. You don't even consider whether I am telling the truth. So I believe you have some exact information about the Well Palace, right?"

Yun Qing shook her head, "I didn't know the Well Palace before I met you."

Song Liyou had a clear suspicion of her words. He spent hundreds of years on one clue of the Farewell Palace, but Yun Qing pointed out that the Farewell Palace was divided into two parts, the Fare Mansion and the Well Palace, when they met. How can he believe that she did not know that before?

"I have some ancient records. If you tell me what you know, I can tell you my messages. We can be safer and have more chance to succeed." Song Liyou continued on enticing her. In his opinion, Yun Qing had the advantage of the background of the Million Mountains, but she was a normal person in flesh, while the strange man was more dangerous. Yun Qing was too young to know the world. If he could control her mind, controlling that strange man would be easy.

"I have no idea of everything you don't know." Yun Qing sounded still innocent.

Song Liyou's long-term experience of seeking for Dao made him realize something from Yun Qing's words, but it was overwhelmed by his covetous thoughts, "Little girl, don't make it in hard way."

"You wanna die?" Yun Qing's pure smile made Song Liyou cold.

"Don't you want to know where the burden Xie is?" Song Liyou knew he could not afford A Mang's attack, but fortunately, he had saved a movement.

"Although I was sealed and my body was destroyed, I was an expert Dao seeker for many years. It's not difficult for me to make some traps here." Song Liyou had more confidence think of his advantage.

"So what?" Yun Qing's expression did not change, "He is not as important as you think to me."

"Don't deny it! I believe you have noticed that I have taken you to the divine road according to the horoscope. That guy is a normal person who cannot stick to his true heart. He will lose his way on the road. If you give me the information about the Well Palace, I can save his life. Otherwise, he would leave nothing after a quarter of an hour." Song Liyou seemed to be firm, but he was not sure inside. Anyway, creatures from the Million Mountains were likely to turn against a friend quickly.

"Oh." Yun Qing nodded with smile and turned to A Mang, "Let's go."

"You!" Song Liyou changed his look, "You are so cold-blood at such a young age."

"If he cannot go through the divine road which was disused ten thousand years ago, I don't think he can go further in the future Dao seeking. Even if I can help him this time, can I protect him forever?" Yun Qing laughed, without turning back, "A useless person deserves death."

She remembered what Xie Yao said when A Mang destroyed the wall Xie Yao's house at their first meeting and set the childe who wanted nothing but seeking for Dao free…

"I am not afraid!" the fort.i.tude which many Dao seeker did not possess shone on his young face.

Breaking the connection with the world and seeking for chance to Dao demanded great bravery and goodwill.

Yun Qing did not know how to a.s.sess a Dao seeker's quality. But when it comes to disposition, Xie Yao has the best mind she had seen, even better than Zhu Wuxia.

The trouble on the divine road was also a great chance of Xie Yao if he could seize it.

Thinking of this, Yun Qing kept moving forward on the shoulder of A Mang and walked into the dark forest. Leaving Song Liyou angry.

Xie Yao froze up for a while when he found himself losing his way.

The towering trees blot out the sky and covered the sun. Xie Yao could only recognize the way with the sunshine spot in the dark.

Unknown beast wail came from somewhere. Viper twisted on colorful mushrooms under the tree. The cold touch of branches and tendrils hanging down from the trees made him feel unreal.

It was the beginning of autumn. Although the temperature was still high outside the mountain, it was cold in the mountain. Shuddering, Xie Yao did not wear many clothes because A Mang carried everything. He intended to wait in the place to see if Yun Qing would find him lost and then come back to find him, but it was so cold that he felt a little uneasy.

In his eyes, Yun Qing was always mysterious and powerful. It seemed that nothing can trouble her. He flattered himself as an encyclopedic mind since he had studied for so many years, but he can do nothing when he went out. He was too weak to carry any heavy stuff. He was also scared to half death when he faced difficulties. He even lost himself while walking with Yun Qing.

Xie Yao lowered his head in frustration and then raised it, shouting out Yun Qing's name several times to the surrounding. Nothing answered him except the cold wind in the mountain.

"You…?"

A soft voice came from his back.

Xie Yao turned back and saw a woman in white standing in the deep forest.

"Miss…Zhu…Wuxia!!?" Xie Yao shouted surprisingly.

The woman in white was surprised and then smiled, "Oh, it's you. I did not recognize you just now."

Xie Yao wanted to walk forward but he stopped and saluted with his fists at the chest when he suddenly felt his heart throbbing, "Fairy Wuxia, you have not changed a little since our last meet years ago."

"Yes…" The woman in white smiled, "You are also as charming as before."

Xie Yao stared at his dream woman, feeling his knees soft and heart trembling, "You…Are you…?"

"We haven't seen each other for years. Do you know how much I miss you, Mr. Xie?" The woman in white reached her arms for Xie Yao, "Will you go to the dreamland and spend the rest of your life with me?"

“I…I'm willing to…” Xie Yao was speechless, stumbled over the vines toward the woman.

The woman in white smiled slyly. When she was going to take his hands, Xie Yao stopped suddenly.

"Miss…Fairy Wuxia…" Xie Yao blushed, letting out nothing valuable.

The woman in white took a deep breath and calmed down, smiling gently, "What's wrong?"

"Miss, I want to keep your company forever, but I am a normal person now…" Xie Yao calmed down gradually, with a feeling of brightness.

"I don't mind if it's you…"

"But I mind!" Xie Yao interrupted her. After that, he was stunned by his being polite to his dream woman, "I don't want to interfere with your way to Dao or be an ordinary person in my whole life."

"I want to…be G.o.d!" Xie Yao stared at the woman in white firmly.

The woman in white changed her eyesight from soft to cold instantly. She glanced at him with inexplicable feeling and faded in the air.

"Is…Is this my illusion caused by my desire?” Xie Yao stared at this scene, unable to figure it out.

"That's right. Fairy Wuxia cannot be fond of an ordinary person like me." Smiling bitterly, Xie Yao lowered his head and found something radiating sparkles in the place where the woman in white stood.

"Is it a Jade Ruyi ?"

A palm-sized Jade Ruyi inserted into the soft earth at an angle. Its warm and humid light reminded him of the eyesight of the woman in white.

Xie Yao took the Jade Ruyi into his pocket at the chest and smiled, "I am not willing to be an ordinary person forever."

He stood up and took a deep breath toward the dark and serene forest, walking in without any hesitation.
