Chapter 15: The Willow is Dark and the Flower is Bright (Part 2)

  For the past six months, Qin Yu had been thinking about what he wanted to do with his life. Was it just like ordinary people, following the crowd, getting married, having children, and then growing old? No, Qin Yu couldn't accept this path at all. From a young age, Qin Yu's goal was to become a great expert who could help his father, the king.

  But now...

  "Perhaps I was wrong from the start, one can't always live for others, not only is it exhausting for oneself, but also brings great pressure to Father King." Qin Yu slowly walked to a small lake in the mountain forest, gazing at the ripples on the water's surface, his mind was constantly thinking. For half a year now, although Qin Yu had been cultivating and taking missions, he couldn't help but think deeply about things.

  "What should I do with my life?" That's what Qin Yu was thinking.

  In Qin Yu's heart, there was a hidden desire, a faint yearning that he dared not fully express. What Qin Yu enjoyed most was the thrill of life and death battles, the feeling of breaking through limits.

  "Xiu Zhen, overseas Xian Island, Xiu Zhen realm!" This is the longing hidden in Qin Yu's heart. When he heard Feng Yuzi's description of the Xiu Zhen realm that day, Qin Yu was filled with longing for this Xiu Zhen realm. In the past, his strength was not enough, but the opportunity brought by the "Tong Tian Tu".

  Qin Yu took a deep breath.

  He yearned for the life of a cultivator, from the highest nine heavens to the deepest sea of ten thousand miles, fighting bloody battles with demonic beasts, competing with fellow cultivators for treasures, and contending with heaven and earth, pursuing the limits of life! Qin Yu yearned for that kind of passionate and exciting life, but choosing such a life required two things: strength and determination.

  It takes the power of a cultivator and the determination of a lone person.

  Can his father and brothers accompany him on adventures? Can they drift with him? Is Qin Yu willing to leave his father and brothers behind?

  "Remember, if you think it's right, then go and do it. I am a man of the Qin family, don't be afraid to take risks, don't fear death!"

  His father's words echoed in Qin Yu's ears again, and Qin Yu suddenly smiled: "Right, why should we be timid and fearful in life? Moreover, my past life was also wrong, I shouldn't live for others, that way I would tire out my father and myself. My father has elder brothers, so I'll pursue my own life!"

  Qin Yu's eyes lit up.

  "Xiao Hei, after Father King has passed the calamity, I will pursue my own life. Will you follow me?" Qin Yu said, stroking Xiao Hei's head. Xiao Hei immediately flapped its wings and gently patted Qin Yu's back, nodding its head repeatedly.

  Qin Yu couldn't help but laugh at the sight.

  No matter what, he still has Xiao Hei by his side.

  "Xiao Hei, let's go. A dull life is a waste of time. Let's take a look at the Tianwang mission. Is there anything challenging?" Qin Yu immediately jumped onto Xiao Hei's eagle back, and Xiao Hei flapped its wings, transforming into a flowing light that disappeared without a trace.

  Qin De sat in the main seat, and the four people, including the blue-robed old man, General Manager Ge Min, and Feng Yuzi, also took their seats one after another.

  "The location has been chosen, everything is almost ready, all that's left is thirty-seven days later." Qin De said coldly, the closer it got to the end, the clearer Qin De felt the day of the heavenly tribulation was approaching, thirty-seven days later would be the day of Qin De's tribulation.

  The old man in blue nodded and said, "In the vast wilderness, there are many demonic beasts. Those that have reached the Golden Elixir stage are not few either. Even if Wu De Wu Xing discovered the heavenly tribulation in the vast wilderness, he would definitely think it was a demonic beast crossing the tribulation. In this case, once the prince crosses the tribulation successfully, the Ye family will not even realize that we still have the prince as a powerful expert on our side."

  "The address decided by Wang Ye is indeed wonderful." Ge Min also agreed.

  Qin De shook his head and smiled, "Everything has to wait until I can survive the heavenly tribulation. Alright, Feng brother, and Ge General Manager, you two go back first. I have some things to discuss with Blue Clothes."

  "Goodbye, Your Highness." Ge Min bowed and said, while Feng Yuzi just slightly cupped his hands, and then the two of them left.

  The Blue-robed Elder and the Grey-robed Elder are the two people in charge of the Heavenly Net. Qin De usually only addresses them by their code names 'Blue-robed' and 'Grey-robed', but has never actually called out their real names. This time, when heading to the location of Hongjun's tribulation, Qin De had the Blue-robed Elder follow him, while the Grey-robed Elder continued to preside over the operation of the Heavenly Net.

  "Lan Yi, this time originally Lian Bo was in charge of the 'Hidden Arrow' operation, but instead, a team of five high-level cultivators from the pre-heavenly and post-heavenly periods will be dispatched under Ge's leadership. As for Tian Wang's side, search within the inner network for several high-level cultivators from the pre-heavenly and post-heavenly periods, and... also invite this killer 'Liu Xing' over." Qin De had a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

  The old man in blue also smiled slightly.

  The Sky Net is divided into 'Internal Network' and 'External Network', but the people in the 'External Network' are not directly under their control, they can only be invited. For this killer 'Meteor', Qin De, the leader of the Sky Net, has been paying attention to him all along.

  "That assassin, Meteor, is extremely powerful. He has taken on nine consecutive missions and succeeded with ease. Some of the targets were even late-stage Heaven's Chosen, but against this assassin, 'Meteor', they only had one path: death. His strength should have reached the level of Heaven's Chosen Great Perfection." The old man in blue clothes commented.

  What Qin De needs now is a master, an absolute master.

  That day, Qin De and Qin Yu said that compared to the Pre-Heavenly Great Round Sages, the Cultivators of Truth had no power to resist at all. It can be said to be true, but it cannot be said to be completely true. If one-on-one, then yes, but if five or six Pre-Heavenly Great Round Sages join forces and are equipped with mid-grade spiritual artifacts, then it's a different story.

  Congenital Grandmaster's speed is extremely fast, like lightning. Five or six people striking at the same time, it's really hard for a Golden Dan cultivator to deal with. Once their physical body is destroyed, they're done for. Cultivators only have mysterious True Yuan energy, but their physical structure is similar to ordinary people. If their heart ruptures and so on, they'll still die.

  Qin De needs is the Innate Great Perfection, at least it should be the Innate Later Period.

  But it's too hard to come by a congenital great perfection, now according to Qin De's judgment, this killer 'Meteor' is actually a congenitally great perfect master, and judging from the tasks that this killer 'Meteor' has taken on, he is still trustworthy.

  "Blue clothes, you personally invite him, and if necessary, use a little force to intimidate him. Of course, the location of the tribulation cannot be told to him, nor can my identity be revealed to him. Just let him follow us when the time comes!" Qin De said.

  He was not afraid of this mysterious killer 'Meteor' whoever he was, even if he was an enemy, after all, he would never let Meteor know anything.

  "Yes, I will personally invite you." said the man in blue clothes with a bow.

  ……

  Qin Yu was puzzled, the last time he received a mission, the head of Tianwang's branch department told him that the highest elder of Tianwang wanted to have a talk with him. As the top killer of Tianwang, Qin Yu also knew that there were two great elders in Tianwang. What did this great elder want from him now?

  As agreed, Qin Yu arrived at a teahouse, where there were no customers at the moment. Qin Yu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  "Master Meteor has arrived, why hasn't he come up yet?" A burst of laughter came from the second floor.

  Qin Yu's feet moved slightly, and his entire person vanished into thin air, without even a sound of movement. Then he suddenly reappeared at the staircase on the second floor, with a speed that was simply astonishing.

  "What a speed, and without any wind sound!" The blue-robed elder was shocked in his heart, he knew that even if he himself could not reach such a speed. The blue-robed elder looked towards the staircase entrance, at the entrance of the staircase stood a person, about 1.75 meters tall, with an extremely cold expression.

  But the blue-robed elder inexplicably felt that the person in front of him seemed very familiar.

  Qin Yu looked at the person in front of him, but his eyes jumped as he recognized that the so-called Heavenly Web's elder was actually the mysterious blue-robed elder who occasionally appeared beside his father, the king. The blue-robed elder and the gray-robed elder were usually very secretive in their movements, only occasionally appearing in the palace, and only a few people in the entire palace, including Qin Yu, knew of the existence of these two elders.

  "Sky Net's Great Elder?" Qin Yu's mouth corner had a hint of an unfathomable smile as he looked at the blue-robed elder in front of him.
