Chapter 587: Chapter 587 – Birth Mother
Qiu Hu’s words caused Zhou Xuanji to imagine a myriad of possibilities.
He even thought of all creatures being controlled by destiny to fight him.
Just thinking about it made him feel a chill.
He was not afraid of becoming enemies with all creatures; he was just worried that the people he cared about would be controlled as well.
Zhou Xuanji sank into his thoughts and began to think about countermeasures.
The Xiji Six Immortals and Chiyu Boy were very curious about what Qiu Hu had said, and they began to ask him about it.
They continued to quickly head towards the Wanshen Great Thousand.
After a while, a powerful aura came from ahead, causing Zhou Xuanji to come back to reality.
He slightly narrowed his eyes and muttered, “Another one.”
He thought that it was another destiny’s shadow coming to tell him to prepare to accept his destiny.
However, that was not the case—it was Gu Tianxia.
He noticed Zhou Xuanji and the others and instinctively wanted to avoid them.
However, he suddenly noticed Zhou Xuanji and his expression changed as he flew over towards Zhou Xuanji.
“Stay right there!” Chiyu Boy loudly shouted, his voice domineering, not taking Gu Tianxia seriously at all.
Zhou Xuanji looked over and felt that this person was quite familiar.
Wait! Wasn’t this Gu Tianxia?
He now had eyes and seemed younger.
He said, “Don’t worry, I know him.”
Back then, when he had heard about Gu Tianxia being revived and suppressing the Abyss Pearl Mainland’s three geniuses, he had been shocked.
It seemed that this fellow’s talent was very powerful.
He closely examined him and found that this fellow’s cultivation was now at Universe Heaven Level 7. His breakthrough speed was quite fast.
Gu Tianxia flew over to Zhou Xuanji and smiled as he said, “Long time no see.”
Gu Tianxia examined Zhou Xuanji in return, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
He actually could not see through this boy’s cultivation.
Incredible!
No wonder the old beggar had praised this boy so much.
“Where are you going?” Zhou Xuanji asked. He did not yet know that Gu Tianxia had become his Junior Apprentice Brother.
Gu Tianxia replied, “To seek an opportunity in the depths of the Void. Are you returning to the Wanshen Great Thousand? I suggest you be careful—Heavenly Lord Xuantie, who tried to destroy the Wanshen Great Thousand, has come out, and he is preparing to act against the Wanshen Great Thousand.”
Heavenly Lord Xuantie.
Zhou Xuanji began to feel that something was odd.
Why did Heavenly Lord Xuantie suddenly come out at a time like this? Was he being controlled by the heavenly law to deal with him?
Gu Tianxia could tell that Zhou Xuanji was worried and said somewhat deeply, “Sometimes, only by giving up some things can you become a more powerful cultivator. It’s impossible to never lose anything.”
After saying this, he passed by Zhou Xuanji’s side and disappeared into the starry sky.
Zhou Xuanji understood what he meant, but he did not take it to heart.
The group continued onwards.
“Who was that boy? I could feel that his body hid an extremely terrifying power,” Qiu Hu said out of curiosity, and the Xiji Six Immortals also looked at Zhou Xuanji.
...
Zhou Xuanji calmly replied, “Gu Tianxia, an incredible genius.”
Everyone’s hearts shook.
To be called an incredible genius by Zhou Xuanji, he definitely wasn’t simple.
...
After returning to the Wanshen Great Thousand, Zhou Xuanji and the others headed at their full speed to where the Emperor Sword Court was.
The Emperor Sword Court was still fine.
Zhou Xuanji let out Jiang Xue and Daoya Old Man, and he gathered with Emperor Sword Court’s higher ups.
He first introduced the Xiji Six Immortals and Chiyu Boy.
After hearing that the Xiji Six Immortals were all Connecting Heaven realm experts, everyone was greatly shocked.
Following this, Zhou Xuanji began to give out Heaven Fiend Pills. Apart from Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, and the others, all of the 20 million or so disciples all received one Heaven Fiend Pill each.
Everyone asked him where he had been out of curiosity.
Zhou Xuanji did not hide anything and told them everything about what had happened. Occasionally, he would have the Xiji Six Immortals, Chiyu Boy, and Qiu Hu add in.
As everyone listened, they could not help but continuously exclaim.
They had never thought that while they had been peacefully training, Zhou Xuanji had gone through so many things.
Zhou Xuanji also told them about him being banished by destiny, causing everyone to fall silent.
Even Qiu Hu, the Xiji Six Immortals, and Chiyu Boy looked at him in shock.
No wonder he had asked about this before.
“How could it turn out like this? Could it be that I did not change your destiny properly back then?” Daoya Old Man’s expression was unsightly as he gnashed his teeth.
Jiang Xue held Zhou Xuanji’s hand, her eyes filled with worry, but she did not say anything.
Beixiao Wangjian scratched his head and said, “Is there no way to get rid of this destiny?”
Under heavenly law, most creatures believed in destiny.
Zhou Xuanji shook his head; for now, he had not been able to think of anything.
“In other words, we might be controlled by destiny to act against you?” Huang Lianxin cautiously asked. Hearing this, everyone else’s expressions fell.
When they thought about that possibility, their hairs stood on end.
What was the most terrifying was that they would not remember this, and they might even forget about Zhou Xuanji.
Without Zhou Xuanji, how could they have reached where they were today?
The more she listened, the more anxious Jiang Xue became. She suddenly remembered Zhou Xuanji talking to her about if she forgot about him.
She could not imagine what it would be like if she forgot Zhou Xuanji.
“Don’t be too nervous. According to master, there is still quite a bit of time. The stronger he becomes, the closer he will get to becoming banished by destiny; we still have some time to find a countermeasure,” Qiu Hu said, comforting everyone.
He thought of that old immortal and decided to go and ask him about this.
Zhou Xuanji also spoke to tell everyone not to panic and to continue developing Emperor Sword Court.
Everyone could only do that, but a haze covered their hearts.
After the meeting was over, Zhou Xuanji saw that Zhou Xiaoxuan still was not leaving. Her head hung low, looking like she was in low spirits.
He walked over and gently stroked her hair and smiled as he asked, “What is it?”
Zhou Xiaoxuan looked up with teary eyes and said, “Before, someone came to find me and told me to tell you to prepare for the arrival of your destiny, and that it’s best for you to leave the area of heavenly law’s control. Only that way can you avoid this tribulation.”
Zhou Xuanji frowned and asked, “Who is she? Why did she come and find you?”
Jiang Xue came over and asked, “How long ago was this?”
Daoya Old Man pinched his fingers together, trying to divine before coughing up blood. The Xiji Six Immortals were startled and quickly went over to support him.
“I don’t know who she was; it was a few days ago,” Zhou Xiaoxuan shook her head as she said. She raised her right hand and created a screen of light, showing that woman’s appearance.
Zhou Xuanji’s expression changed, looking incredibly shocked.
Jiang Xue frowned and asked, “Do you know her?”
For some reason, she felt that this woman looked quite like Zhou Xuanji, as if they were created from the same mold.
Could it be...
“She is my birth mother.”
Zhou Xuanji’s expression was complicated, suddenly feeling that this matter was more complicated than he had thought.
Lady Zhaoxuan was not dead?
Or had her soul reincarnated after dying?
“Xuan’Er!” Daoya Old Man cried out and hurriedly ran over.
Looking at the screen of light in Zhou Xiaoxuan’s palm, his body trembled, a look of disbelief on his face.
Zhou Xiaoxuan and Jiang Xue looked at each other, also feeling quite shocked.
“Could it be that granny isn’t dead?” Zhou Xiaoxuan asked with delight. So this woman did not have ill intentions and had truly come to help?
