CH 127

After casually finishing his words, Chu Ge didn’t even wait for Qiu Wuji’s response. His spirit quickly returned, and he felt completely exhausted.

At that point, he didn’t care about anything anymore. It didn’t matter how the readers reacted to the climax of the plot. Unprecedentedly, he laid down on the bed in broad daylight and fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.

This was an active interference with the world using the Heaven and Earth technique, which was completely different in terms of the level of consumption compared to passive interference in the past.

Despite feeling tired, Chu Ge was also excited. It wasn’t just because of his god-like ability to influence the world, but more importantly, because he had helped Qiu Wuji. The lingering unease that had been in his heart was completely put to rest, and he slept soundly, feeling a great sense of relief.

As for Yan Qianli running away… it was expected. An opponent of this level couldn’t simply be defeated in a single duel. There was still a lot of room for development in the future, such as the relevant plot on the other side of the sea.

The escape pattern, however, differed from what he had designed… Well, it was different. There was no time to think about it now. Time to sleep.

In the world of the book, Qiu Wuji stood quietly, her face pale with injuries, blood trickling down from the corner of her mouth. Yet, she had a peculiar expression on her face, appearing both annoyed and delighted, with a hint of blushing shyness.

People thought it was the embarrassment of nearly being defeated and the joy of victory.

No one dared to take advantage of her injuries. Yan Qianli’s defeat sounded the clarion call for the righteous path to attack the demonic path. The surrounding magical treasures emitted dazzling light, and the sound of battle cries shook the heavens as righteous cultivators swept through the area.

This was an important turning point for the balance between the righteous and demonic paths in this world. It also symbolizes the establishment of Cloud Horizon Sect’s dominance and the beginning of Qiu Wuji’s reign over the Nine Provinces.

In the distant Fire Prison Sect, a beautiful flame feather pierced through countless layers of the underground and soared into the sky. Its splendid light broke through the darkness of the night and landed in Qiu Wuji’s hands, thousands of miles away.

The Heavenly Dao contract was forcibly completed.

It was only then that people remembered the initial cause of Qiu Wuji’s and Yan Qianli’s duel, which was simply for this Vermillion Bird Feather.

But just because of the distinction between righteous and demonic paths and the authority of the hegemon, triggered by a small flame feather, a series of changes occurred. In fact, deep down, Qiu Wuji didn’t want to see this kind of development. Initially, she only wanted to exchange the flame feather to set up the Four Symbols Array.

If Yan Qianli had been willing to make a fair exchange instead of scheming behind the scenes, perhaps none of these events would have happened, and it wouldn’t have caused so much trouble.

Perhaps it’s not entirely Yan Qianli’s fault… it’s a predetermined plot by a certain creator god.

Qiu Wuji looked towards the direction where Yan Qianli had fled, and there was a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

We are both pieces that cannot escape the control of the Heavenly Dao.

Yan Qianli noticed and made an effort, but it was in vain. The Heavenly Dao personally intervened and suppressed any potential variables…

As for me, I haven’t fared any better. I still have to go back and get spanked…

Actually, if Chu Ge hadn’t intervened, Qiu Wuji felt that she might not have necessarily lost. She still had some hidden tricks up her sleeve, although it might have resulted in a more arduous battle. It wasn’t necessary to take that gamble. The fact that he was willing to help warmed her heart.

Qiu Wuji knew in her heart that regardless of how many “plot adjustments” he had in mind, his primary concern was definitely for her well-being. He had reminded her of that repeatedly, fearing that she might make a mistake.

His intervention must have been exhausting as well… Qiu Wuji gazed at the moon, her thoughts somewhat distracted.

In the eyes of others, she seemed to let chaos and warfare run rampant in the distance, while she remained silent, full of grace.

“Sect Master!” The elders flew over from all sides, their gazes filled with awe and admiration as they respectfully bowed. “Sect Master, you are injured, and it is not appropriate to stay here amidst the chaos. Please return to the sect for rest.”

Qiu Wuji nodded, not trying to be stubborn, and whispered, “People’s hearts are unpredictable… Elder Zhou, please protect me and escort me back to the sect.”

“Yes.” Although she was speaking in a low voice and seemed weak, the feeling of authority overwhelmed those around her, making them instinctively bow and comply. Psychological changes can be so evident.

Another elder asked in a low voice, “Sect Master, after defeating Yan Qianli and crushing the spirit of the Fire Prison Sect, should we mobilize our forces and wipe them out in one fell swoop? Please give us your orders.”

Qiu Wuji responded indifferently, “If you don’t kill the snake, you’ll be bitten. Immediately gather allies from the righteous path and launch a war of extermination against the Fire Prison Sect. Also, pay attention to any trace of Yan Qianli’s whereabouts.”

Everyone bowed one after another. “We will follow the Sect Master’s orders!”

Qiu Wuji silently entered the heavily guarded secret area of her own sect, escorted by her most trusted confidants, to focus on recovering from her injuries.

Elder Zhou advised her, “In your previous seclusions, it seemed that you often allowed your soul to wander. This time, it would be better to stay focused and concentrate your energy.”

Qiu Wuji’s face turned slightly red as she stubbornly retorted, “Who said I let my soul wander? I didn’t! It’s just his wishful thinking. Just wait and see!”

Elder Zhou: “?”

What are you talking about?

…………

…………….

Chu Ge woke up in the middle of the night and, feeling hungry, went to get soy milk for himself.

Ever since Qiu Wuji arrived, instant noodles and similar foods had disappeared from their rental place. Qiu Wuji didn’t usually eat biscuits or anything like that, and they didn’t have any in the house at the moment.

Chu Ge searched around and snapped his fingers before sneaking into Qiu Wuji’s room to steal some milk candies.

Qiu Qiu is still the best. Even when she’s not here, she still nourishes the hungry Chu Ge baby with her milk candies.

She must have gone into seclusion since she was injured. According to the usual practice, when she goes into seclusion, her soul should come out… Maybe he’ll be able to have breakfast together with her in the morning.

Chu Ge enjoyed his soy milk, sat back in front of his computer, and opened the backend to check the status of the new chapters.

The chapters and the number of reviews were exploding, and the backend couldn’t handle the page flipping for a while. After a rough glance, most of them were praises, and it seemed like there were a lot of donations too. Several new alliance leaders had joined.

This result wasn’t unexpected and quite normal.

This book is a competition among various factions, and battles are the main theme. A duel that has been built up for hundreds of thousands of words, as long as you can write the process brilliantly, make the bystanders amazed, create a well-rendered atmosphere, and ultimately emerge victorious, it’s a perfect climax. It’s worth all the anticipation and buildup, so it’s normal for readers to enjoy it.

—Even though the actual battle process didn’t happen that way.

But that’s not important. After all, a novel is just a novel. Chu Ge has always known that. Since Qiu Qiu’s autobiography came out, he should now separate his own words from what actually happened.

Sometimes he amusingly thinks, what if everyone could see a live broadcast of the world in the book? Would they angrily complain, “It doesn’t match the original work”?

It’s a fun thought, but unfortunately, it’s impossible for anyone to see a live broadcast of the world in the book.

Even if he wants to see it, it’s still difficult to achieve…

For example, right now, he really wanted to know Qiu Wuji’s condition after being injured. It’s useless to worry about it in his heart, but he really can’t see it for the time being. Even after a long sleep, the aftereffects of the Heaven and Earth technique haven’t subsided, his head is still throbbing, and he really can’t use it a second time.

Chu Ge sighed and quietly took out a handful of seashells, pressing it against his brow, while holding a pearl in his hand to begin his cultivation.

He aimed to recover as soon as possible, to see Qiu Qiu early and see if he could help her…

Perhaps because this extreme use of abilities training method was truly effective, when Chu Ge examined his own sea of consciousness this time, he felt that although he was still exhausted, it had become more robust and solid… Now, if he were to test his spiritual power, it should be stable at Level 5, and maybe even Level 6?

He didn’t know what level it corresponded to in terms of Immortal Dao cultivation… Anyway, Chu Ge believed that in the future, when he interfered with the world using the Heaven and Earth technique, it would be easier.

This was visible progress.

Quietly, Chu Ge operated the Golden Bell Shield technique for another thirty-six cycles, then opened his eyes, and it was already daylight.

He glanced into Qiu Wuji’s room, but she wasn’t there.

Chu Ge became a little uneasy and tried to use his recently recovered spiritual power to communicate with the world. He could perceive a general feedback: Qiu Wuji’s injuries were not serious.

If they’re not serious, why isn’t she coming out?

It’s not like there are any obstacles in the world. His perception was still very clear, and everything remained unchanged.

Chu Ge scratched his head and opened his document to write a new chapter.

In the new chapter, he deliberately added a sentence: “While Qiu Wuji is healing from her injuries, she suddenly remembers that she hasn’t traveled with her soul for a long time. Shouldn’t she go out and see what’s happening outside?”

In the secluded chamber where Qiu Wuji was in seclusion, she closed her eyes and focused on her healing. Her eyebrows suddenly twitched, but she forcibly suppressed it.

Stuffing things into my body again! Ugh!

Chu Ge sat in front of the computer and waited for a while, but Qiu Wuji still didn’t come out.

He thought for a moment and added another sentence: “Qiu Wuji is thinking that someone like Yan Qianli, who disrespects the Heavenly Dao, should suffer defeat. The Heavenly Dao is watching you.”

Qiu Wuji’s eyebrows twitched again, “I want to heal, why are you passing notes to me! Keep staring at me, and I’ll beat you up!”

Chu Ge: “…”

He folded his hands.

It seemed like he could guess what was happening…

Was it because she had been reminded several times or because she had almost stumbled and didn’t want to face Chu Ge? Or… was she afraid of getting spanked and was avoiding him?

Chu Ge felt both frustrated and amused. Did she just mention passing notes…? The mighty Sect Master, why are you behaving like a little girl who ran away from home?
