After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 492 Green Cliff

Qingzhi closed his eyes.

"This is a secret concerning all living beings; your name will disappear from this world."

"Everyone? Nobody... will remember me anymore?"

“At least none of the disciples of the Tianqian Sect will remember you, your master and elders will no longer mention your name, no one will praise your achievements, and future generations will not know about your sacrifice.”

"...Alright, disciple understands."

-

After leaving Linglong Pavilion, Qingya turned around and flew to the Sacrificial God Sect on his spirit sword.

He skillfully navigated the palaces and pavilions, landing amidst a field of proud red plum blossoms in the snow.

Not far away is the Tingqin Pavilion, nestled in the plum grove.

When Qingya secretly ran upstairs, the disciples in front of the door were not surprised at all. They not only cooperated with him by not making a sound, but also smiled and waved to him.

Qingya slipped them a small gift.

On the second floor, by the railing, Lady Qiu was lazily flipping through the classics and scriptures in her hands. Hearing footsteps outside the door, she assumed it was a servant bringing in tea, so without looking up, she mumbled, "Just put it on the table, go away."

The attic fell silent for a moment, then a faint fragrance of plum blossoms suddenly wafted into her hair.

Qiu Niangzi looked up in surprise and saw Qingya's smiling eyes.

"Still causing trouble!" Qiu Niangzi said with a smile, playfully scolding him. She raised her hand to touch what was stuck in her hair. "What, are you here to plead for your master again?"

When my fingertips touched the plum branch, the coldness to my touch clearly indicated that it wasn't a plum blossom nourished by spiritual energy.

"Master's wife, Master really knows he was wrong, please forgive him. You haven't spoken to him for hundreds of years, how can he bear it?" Qingya massaged her shoulders and pleaded, "Master's wife, please forgive me for secretly going to the sect leader to pick plum blossoms for you."

Qiu Niangzi snorted coldly, unmoved, but did not take down the plum branch.

Seeing this, Qingya pressed on: "Don't underestimate this small plum blossom. It was only because Master was always staring at the plum blossom forest in a daze and saying that you love plum blossoms the most that I suddenly had a brilliant idea and risked getting my legs broken by the sect leader to pick it for you!"

"You have no idea, sometimes when my master is giving me a lesson, he will call out your name while he is talking, and then he will start to daydream. You know my master, right? In his mind, besides arranging formations, there is only you. I don't even rank in the top tier."

Qiu Niangzi pouted, put the scriptures on the table, and finally became upset.

Qingya kept telling her how much that guy missed her and thought about her, and the anger that had been stuck in her heart slowly began to dissipate.

In the end, seeing that Qingya was a boy she had watched grow up, she softened her heart and said, "If your master is willing to change his wicked ways and come to my Sacred God Sect to apologize to me in a dignified manner, I... I will give him a chance to forgive him."

Upon hearing this, Qingya clapped his hands excitedly and immediately rushed out of Tingqin Pavilion, ready to tell his master the good news on his sword.

Upon hearing this, Chongdao's heart stirred, and his eyes immediately lit up. But then he seemed to remember something, lowered his head in disappointment, and absentmindedly packed all the books he had compiled about his insights on formations and arrays into a Qiankun bag, which he then handed to Qingya.

"Disciple, these are all my insights from over the years. Take them and look through them when you have time. Also, this stack contains formations and cultivation techniques that I think are very suitable for you. Choose the ones you like to learn, and..."

Qingya's joyful expression froze. He listened silently to Zhongdao's instructions, trying his best to control himself and not showing any abnormality.

He accepted whatever Chongdao gave him, and would occasionally respond with a word or two. Only when Chongdao had nothing more to say did he smile and pour the old man a cup of spiritual tea to soothe his throat.

The sect leader gave him three days. After three days, he would go with him into the Outer Realm to repair the God-Demon Sealing Array.

Qingya didn't have much time. After persuading his master to agree to apologize to his master's wife at the Sacrificial God Sect, he went to Danfeng overnight to weed and water all the medicinal gardens there and replenish their spiritual energy. He then rushed to Taotie Peak to cut a pile of firewood for them to use. He also left his booklet of experiences with various new delicacies he had tasted over the years, as well as some personal suggestions, in a superior kitchen that they often fought over.

Le Feng's senior sister invited him to listen to a piece of music. This time he did not refuse. While listening attentively, he wrote down what he thought could be changed and improved, and handed it to his senior sister.

In the animal park, his favorite animal was Lion Ball. He was very reluctant to leave it, so he prepared lots and lots of food for it and cleaned up all the droppings and weeds in every corner of the park. As he was leaving, the sun was already setting. He patted Lion Ball's head again and told it that it must eat well in the future and not throw tantrums. He also told it that it should get along well with its master, fight demons and monsters, and work together to realize the Great Dao.

Under the cover of night, he used two bottles of Concentration Pills to ask his junior brother from Qifeng to make him a love lock. Before dawn, he quietly placed the love lock on the dressing table of his junior sister from Feixia Peak, who had confessed her feelings to him.

The love lock was specially engraved with the words he hadn't had time to say to his junior sister from Feixia Peak that day—

Although our hearts are not yet in harmony, I am deeply grateful for your compassion.

He gave the talisman paper and talisman pen he had saved to Fu Feng's junior brother, and patiently explained the parts he didn't understand. Before leaving, he didn't forget to encourage his junior brother, telling him not to be discouraged, that diligence can make up for lack of talent, and that anything is possible before the gates of immortality are opened.

Qingya gave all the spirit stones, magic treasures, talismans, and magic arrays he had saved to the disciples of the outer sect and the miscellaneous service peak, and finally went to the spirit-turning peak.

He asked Song Fengzhu many questions about reincarnation, the next life, and the afterlife. Song Fengzhu found him strange, but still answered his questions one by one.

As he received his answer and prepared to leave in the afterglow of the setting sun, Song Fengzhu suddenly called out to him.

"Qingya, you..."

Qingya did not turn back.

"Uncle-Master, don't worry, I was just asking out of curiosity."

He was really just asking.

The sect leader had already told him that with the sacrificial array, he would not have a next life.

Under the bright moonlight, Qingya, though still unable to make up for all the regrets in his heart, still came to the Sword Peak, where snow flies all year round, with contentment.

The sect leader was already standing in the wind and snow, waiting for him.

Qingya's life will end at this moment.

His name, his deeds, and his ambitions will all fade away with the sunrise of the next day.

But he will practice his great path in another way.
