Volume 1 Meteor Festival Chapter 32 Rebirth

  "This... this..."

  Everyone present was shocked and amazed by Gu Qing's extremely solemn expression as he made this series of movements.

  At the same time, an idea that even they themselves found a bit unbelievable suddenly emerged in their minds.

  "This can't be true..."

  Without mentioning the various reactions of the crowd to his actions, Gu Qing's entire spirit was now focused on this small bird of unknown species. The enormous spiritual energy that could overwhelm an ordinary human soul was being consumed intensely every moment, and from time to time, he would stimulate a certain part of the little bird's body with spiritual energy, bringing out its potential, making the fusion of the soul and the body easier and smoother.

  After five or six minutes, a miracle finally happened again!

  This bird, which had already lost its soul and should have lost its life, suddenly regained its heartbeat. Gradually, the seemingly cold body also began to warm up due to the heart pumping blood, although this little bird has not yet shown any signs of waking up, but her vital signs have thoroughly passed the most dangerous period and stabilized step by step!

  "Ah!"

  Gu Qing let out a slight sigh of relief.

  Even with his current state of mind and cultivation, he still felt a certain degree of tension when making this move.

  The soul contained in Xu Xiaolin's body has not only helped him regain his memories, but before that, the brother and sister had already been through thick and thin together!

  Since they had memories, the two of them wandered on the streets like floating duckweeds without roots, and didn't know how many hardships they went through together. Even when his memory partially awakened and he knew his true identity, he still couldn't cut off this feeling.

  "...Ancient Qing..." Seeing Ancient Qing seemingly with a triumphant expression, Xu Bing finally found time to ask: "Ancient Qing, those strange movements you made earlier... Could it be that..."

  "You think what you want, it's whatever."

  "What I think is what it is... Could it be..."

  While she was still in doubt, Nian Wusheng couldn't help but let out a sigh of amazement: "Even people who have already died can be revived and transferred into another body... this is just too unbelievable."

  Others also nodded slightly.

  However, Gu Qing did not personally admit it, and in their hearts, they were still not 100% sure.

  After all, they did see Xu Xiaolin get shot and watched her take her last breath. Her death was a hundred percent certain. For someone who was completely dead to be revived by a few moves that even Gu Qing couldn't understand, it's just too hard to imagine.

  Everything has gone beyond their comprehension!

  Even the Sword Saint who had seen a true Dan Dao master, dared to guarantee that those Dan Dao strongmen absolutely didn't possess such terrifying divine abilities like Gu Qing, who could transfer souls and bring the dead back to life!

  At this time, the small bird that was originally lying in Gu Qing's palm suddenly shook its somewhat discolored feathers and slowly opened its eyes.

  The moment she opened her eyes, a hint of confusion floated out from them, fully revealing itself to the crowd. Such lively and human-like eyes appeared on a small bird's face, instantly making those who still had some doubts deeply convinced.

  When the little bird came to, she struggled as if she wanted to get up, but perhaps because of her new body, she was clearly unable to control it well, and couldn't even complete some basic standing movements!

  Witnessing everything that happened to herself, the panic, helplessness and fear of transforming from a human into a small bird, all rose to her mind at the same time, making her scream in extreme terror, letting out a series of mournful low cries!

  Gu Qing let out a soft sigh in her heart, trying to make her voice sound as gentle as possible: "Xiao Lin, calm down, this isn't something that can't be accepted. Although your soul power is too weak right now and you have to temporarily inhabit the body of a small bird, but after several decades when your soul energy recovers, I will naturally help you transfer again. Don't be too afraid."

  It seemed that his comfort had taken effect, and the small bird, which was originally terrified and struggling in his hands, became slightly quieter, but the kind of dynamic fear and panic in its eyes did not completely disappear.

  As they witnessed this scene, the crowd finally confirmed without a doubt the identity of the little bird. They couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, feeling fortunate to have personally witnessed the birth of a miracle. Everyone's gaze was fixed on Xu Xiaolin, who had transformed back into a little bird.

  "Avert your gaze!"

  There is a hint of discontent between his eyebrows!

  Others noticed the fear in the little bird's eyes and one by one realized their own abruptness, hurriedly apologizing.

  It's just that, from being human to becoming a bird, this blow is not so easily calmed.

  Xu Xiaolin... should now be called Gu Xiaolin. She was able to calm down so quickly thanks to her following Gu Qing on a journey through the universe; if it were an ordinary person, they would probably need at least a month or more to accept the reality that happened before their eyes!

  "...Under the ancient Qing Pavilion..." Nian Wusheng shifted his gaze from the small bird and looked at the forest again, saying: "Under the ancient Qing Pavilion, this place is not suitable for a long stay. It's better to avoid any connection with the young master of Qingping County and the Western King. Let's leave here as soon as possible."

  "Qīng Píng Jun Zhu... " A faint, unknown glint flashed in the depths of Gǔ Qīng's eyes. His calm tone was accompanied by an inexplicable undercurrent: "Leave, indeed must leave!" As soon as he finished speaking, he led the way, carrying the small bird that now housed Gu Xiǎo Lín's soul, and strode out of the forest.

  Others who saw this scene also hastily buried these corpses and followed him out of the forest.

  Along the way, everyone was affected by the ancient and gloomy atmosphere, even Su Fangyu, who had a relatively lively personality, didn't say a word. The group of nearly ten people quietly and silently hurried forward.

  Just as they had walked nearly ten miles, and realized the direction they were heading in, Xu Bingjing couldn't help but ask: "Gu Qing... shouldn't we have taken a wrong turn? This is the road to the Western Continent, if we continue on for another four days, crossing the entire continent, we'll enter the territory controlled by the Western Four Continents' Town West King!"

  "Well, how far is it from here to the Western Continent?"

  "As far as the Western Four Continents...” As soon as this was said, the advancing troops suddenly paused for a moment, and then Nian Wusheng thought that Gu Qing was going to find Qingping Junzhu to avenge his grievances. He quickly followed up and said: "Gu Qing, I know that such things have made you very sad and angry, but the power of the Western King is not something we can contend with now."

  "Yes, Seventh Brother, the Western King's Mansion is not only guarded by over 100,000 elite soldiers at all times, but also has more than 200 top-notch experts like the Blood Eagle Guard within its walls. Even if we count only those who have reached the ninth level of Qi refinement, there are still too many to count on two hands. Moreover, reliable sources indicate that a powerful alchemist is always stationed inside the mansion, such a terrifying force that even the Imperial Palace is extremely wary of it, let alone us..."

  Gu Qing shook his head, and his gaze lingered on Xu Bingbing for a moment: "The method of refining the physical body that I taught you, you can pass it on to Gu Dingzhong. As long as you cultivate this set of skills well, your future advancement in Dan Dao will be guaranteed. Now, disperse!"

  Gu Qing's words of succession, however, made everyone think he had a death wish!

  Putting everything else aside, Xu Bingjing hastily spoke up: "As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late. With your Gu Qing's astonishing talent in cultivation, it's likely that you'll be able to advance to Dan Dao in just a few years. By then, taking revenge on Ye Xueqing of Qingping County won't be too late!"

  Nodding his head heavily, he said: "Miss Xu's words are reasonable. In my opinion, it would be better for us to go directly to the Zhongtu World Central and join the Guiyi Sword Sect together. If we can make a name for ourselves in the Guiyi Sword Sect and become true disciples, then destroying the insignificant Western King's Mansion in the mortal world will be just a matter of a few thoughts!"

  "What need ten years, now at once! You only need to tell me where the four western continents are located from here!"

  "Below the ancient blue pavilion... you..."

  "Don't worry, I won't be impulsive!"

  Nian Wusheng and the others carefully observed Gu Qing for a moment, until they realized that he didn't seem to be going to the Western Four Continents to fight Qingying Continent's Lord to the death. Only then did he say: "The Western Four Continents are four days' journey from here, of course, this is referring to our speed; if it were an ordinary person traveling..."

  "I need specific data, how many kilometers from here!" After finishing, Gu Qing added another sentence: "I mean the distance to reach the West Wangfu of the town!"

  "From here to the West Town King's Mansion..." The crowd looked around at their surroundings, silently calculating, and before long, Gu Dingzhong was the first to speak up: "From here to the West Town King's Mansion, it's approximately 1,600 kilometers away! If we want to be more precise down to every kilometer, I'm afraid we'll need to reach some towns and confirm our actual location before we can give a more accurate estimate!"

  "Sixteen hundred kilometers..." Gu Qing's gaze swept around once more, and upon seeing a forest not far from here, his figure flashed, and he had already entered the woods. After crossing through the forest, a rocky platform of over ten thousand square meters appeared in his line of sight.

  He took a rough measurement of the still clean and flat rock platform, Gu Qing directly drew out the Wan Hua sword, and with one stroke on the ground, a gigantic circle with a diameter of over five meters was completed with him as its center!

  In this large circle, after marking the location of the Zhenxi Wangfu, Gu Qing has already raised his head and looked westward. His cold gaze seems to have pierced through the heavy mountains and traversed a distance of 1,600 kilometers, falling onto the Zhenxi Wangfu, which is no less prosperous than the capital of Daqi!

  "The heavens above... Ye Xueqing... Since you want to stop me from leaving this planet, now, I will do as you wish!"
