Eternal Life by Dual Cultivation

Chapter 391 - 233: Shangguan Qingying: Those 2 girls can both be yours...

The lovely, gentle, and perceptive Yu Ruoshuang said, "That’s most likely the reason. The Bian Wujian Gate is incredibly valuable. How could those major powers be willing to give up on it?"

Any power that possessed the Bian Wujian Gate could rapidly deploy its forces across continents. It held irreplaceable strategic significance for expanding one’s territory.

It was no exaggeration to say that whoever obtained this Ancient Heavy Artifact would have a chance to unify the entire Qingyao Continent and achieve an unprecedented hegemony.

More importantly, Liu Ying Ziyi and Qin Mengxuan had already seen what Ling Changqing looked like. They would inevitably suspect that he, the Child of Destiny, was also hiding here, so naturally, they would spare no expense to track him down to the very end.

"In that case, I’d better not stay at home for the time being. Hiding in the heartland of Yuzhou would be safest," Ling Changqing said.

Although the Era Star Palace was helping to shield his Destiny, those major powers had profound foundations. It wouldn’t be surprising if they possessed some unimaginable techniques, and there was a chance his location could still be exposed.

Only by leaving the Feiyu Sea Region entirely could he ensure the major powers wouldn’t find anything.

Ling Qiyue rolled her eyes at him and said with a playful pout, "That may be true, but you have to spend some time in Dual Cultivation with us sisters first. Everyone’s waiting to raise their Cultivation!"

"Of course."

Ling Changqing nodded. After being away from home for so long, he had truly missed them all.

So, Ling Qiyue, Qin Yun, Yu Ruoshuang, Ling Yuzhu, and Ling Yulu crowded around Ling Changqing and led him into the inner chamber, while the Yu Yalan sisters, Liu Xiuyan, Mu Yu Xin, and Meng Feiyu stood watch outside in shifts.

In case something unexpected happened outside, the family still needed a few Elders of sufficient stature to remain and manage affairs. They couldn’t all go into Cultivation in Seclusion.

Inside the inner chamber, Ling Qiyue was the first to release the hidden button of her jade belt. Her magnificent robes slid down layer by layer, revealing her dazzlingly beautiful figure, her skin as smooth and white as snow.

The other women followed her lead, shedding their dresses one after another. In an instant, the room became a breathtaking scene of fragrant, supple beauty, leaving Ling Changqing staring, his blood boiling with passion.

"You wicked man, come on!"

Ling Qiyue’s enchanting, jade-like arms coiled around him like a graceful snake. Her voice was soft and smooth as it escaped her glossy, alluring lips, and her star-like eyes overflowed with a deep, consuming affection.

Ling Changqing tightly hugged her full, graceful body, the flames within him burning fiercely. The other women giggled and gathered around, causing him to become completely lost in the depths of this tender paradise.

...

「Molai Sea Region.」

"...It should... possibly... be in this sea region, right?"

High above the clouds, on the foredeck of a magnificent Tianzhou Skyboat, Liu Ying Meng Luan murmured softly to herself as she studied the Purple Gold Star Plate in her hand.

"This sea region is huge! You might as well have said nothing at all!"

Beside her, Liu Ying Bingchan said, a displeased look on her face.

Liu Ying Meng Luan sighed and said helplessly, "There’s nothing to be done. None of us have any better methods right now. We can only narrow down the search area bit by bit and hope we find something."

The surrounding Female Cultivators of the Liuying Family looked at each other, speechless. They had been out for so long, wandering daily between islands large and small, and had practically turned every minor power’s territory upside down, yet they had come up with nothing.

Of course, it was the same for the other powers. All sides had dispatched countless people, and so far, it had all been for naught.

A poised and graceful Female Cultivator with crescent brows and almond eyes frowned and said, "I have a feeling that if we keep searching like this, we’ll never find anything!"

She was one of the new generation of Saintesses from the Lu Hua Palace, named Xue Qingfeng. She wore a bright red palace gown, her hair was styled in a cloud-like bun, and her fair, jade-like face was noble and dignified. She had only just stepped into the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm.

The upper echelons of their two families had now formed a deep alliance, so the Female Cultivators from both sides also operated together when they went out.

Once they made a discovery, with the combined might of their two powers, it would be quite easy to protect the Child of Destiny and prevent him from being snatched away by outsiders.

Liu Ying Meng Luan said, "Actually, I believe he really is hiding in the coastal regions of the Yuzhou Continent. As long as we’re patient enough, one day..."

She still didn’t believe that Ling Changqing had fled to another continent. The fellow’s Cultivation was limited, so he could only remain in Yuzhou, and specifically in this outer sea region where minor powers were as numerous as ox hairs.

Logically speaking, this was the most likely possibility. Although she hadn’t spent much time with Ling Changqing back then, Liu Ying Meng Luan was confident her judgment was correct.

"By the way," Liu Ying Bingchan asked abruptly, struck by a sudden insight, "we’ve seen plenty of Female Cultivators from other powers these days, but we haven’t seen those two girls from the Yu Family, or that Princess Long Nu, Luo Qingxuan. Where have they gone?"

"Hm?"

Liu Ying Meng Luan’s expression faltered for a moment. She answered subconsciously, "I heard they’re still in seclusion. It’s been several years, and they haven’t come out..."

Their two powers had secret agents watching the Yu Family’s sphere of influence, so it wasn’t difficult to gather some information.

Liu Ying Bingchan sneered faintly. "At a time like this, they still have the leisure to be in seclusion? I’m afraid they’re up to some shady business, aren’t they?"

Xue Qingfeng glanced at her in surprise and asked, "Sister Bingchan, have you noticed something?"

She had never interacted with Ling Changqing before, nor was she familiar with those other Female Cultivators, so she didn’t understand the situation.

Liu Ying Bingchan gritted her teeth and said, "I’m seventy to eighty percent certain they’re not in seclusion at all. They’ve secretly gone out to find Ling Changqing!"

"...Are you sure?"

Liu Ying Meng Luan frowned, then immediately nodded. "That’s entirely possible. If they did that, they must have discovered some valuable clues. But they don’t want us to know, so they’ve snuck off to reap the rewards for themselves? This is outrageous!"

Xue Qingfeng’s expression grew solemn. She asked in a low voice, "What do we do now, then? Should we try to find them first?"
