Chapter 262 Exploration
Jiutian Taiqing Palace, the Palace Master’s Hall.

The environment inside the hall is simple and elegant, with light jade dotted around, like stars under the sky. Wisps of energy form spiritual mist, rising slowly, like a fairyland.

In the fairyland, the Lord of Taiqing Palace sat quietly, his aura serene and lofty, as if he was the true Lord of the Heavenly Palace, far away from the mundane turbidity.

The Taiqing Palace Master opened her eyes, slowly stood up, and walked to a table not far away. She stretched out her jade hand, as smooth and delicate as that of a young girl, and took off a light green jade pendant.

The jade pendant was not beautiful, and the pattern on it was rather crude. Although the materials used to refine it were also very precious, they were not worth mentioning to the sect leader of the Wheel-Turning Realm.

In the center of the jade pendant, a golden light of the soul flickered. However, at this moment, the soul was like a faint candle flame, dim and seemed like it would go out at any time.

The Taiqing Palace Master's gaze fell on the jade pendant, and a trace of ripple appeared in his eyes, which were as cold as a deep pool.

“Has it come to this?”

In the hall, a lone and proud figure stood silently. After a long silence, a cold sigh was heard.
In Qianhai Sect, the Great Elder looked at the soul tablet that was about to break, feeling secretly anxious.

However, it was difficult for outsiders to interfere during the retreat, and although he was extremely worried, he could do nothing about it.

Perhaps after today, the position of the headmaster Qian Yuanzi will become history, and the burden of the Qianhai Sect will only fall on this incompetent old man.

"Ugh!"

The Great Elder sighed, as if he recalled something, and a wave of emotion surged in his heart.

Is it ultimately impossible to see through?
"Ok?"

At this moment, the Great Elder felt a breath outside the Qianhai Sect's formation.

The owner of that breath did not conceal it, obviously intending to let him know.

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and the figure of the great elder disappeared on the spot. In the blink of an eye, he came to the outside of the formation and saw the figure in palace dress.

"Meet the Master of Taiqing Palace."

The Great Elder bowed and looked up at the figure in the air, a wave of emotion appearing in his eyes.

Without waiting for him to ask, the Taiqing Palace Master took the initiative to speak. His cold voice had little ups and downs, and was calm and indifferent.

"He's in very bad condition."

The Great Elder nodded immediately, without hiding anything, and told the other party everything about Qian Yuanzi's situation.

"The headmaster has been trying to break through the life and death barrier to reach the Wheel-turning Realm. Now it seems that he has failed. I'm afraid."

Upon hearing this, the Taiqing Palace Master nodded slightly, still looking calm.

"Take me to him."

Looking at the calm Wheel-Revolving Realm expert in front of him, the Great Elder's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, and he spoke tentatively:

"I wonder if the Palace Master is sure?"

Although Qian Yuanzi is on the verge of death, the outcome is still difficult to determine until the last moment. Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope.

After all, the person who is in seclusion is the head of a sect, which is extraordinary. Taiqing Palace and Qianhai Sect have a cooperative relationship, but they cannot be completely unreserved.

Even though Qian Yuanzi had some relationship with the Taiqing Palace Master in the past, the other party was, after all, a giant who was in charge of a super sect, so it was impossible to be sure what her attitude was now.

Therefore, although the Great Elder held some illusions, he still remained cautious.

The Taiqing Palace Master was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Whether he is sure or not depends on him."

The Great Elder looked at the calm face of the Taiqing Palace Master, his eyes flickered, and he finally made up his mind.

"plz follow me."

The two of them passed through the Qianhai Sect's protective formation, and after a few flashes of their figures, they arrived at a hidden secret realm.

Standing outside the secret realm, the elder made up his mind, took out a jade talisman, and lifted the restriction. A hole was torn open in the space, and the scene inside the secret realm appeared before the two of them.

At this time, the secret realm was no longer as peaceful as before, and was filled with violent energy. A wave of energy swept through, and the flowers and plants grew rapidly. Another wave of gray air rushed over, and they withered in an instant, turning into flying ash, and drifted in the space with the energy wind.

In the center of the secret realm, there was a figure sitting cross-legged. Uncontrolled power of life and death continuously emanated from his body, surging in the space, like a doomsday scene.

At this moment, Qian Yuanzi no longer had the majestic image of the past. His tall body had become withered, with almost no flesh and blood left, only old skin covered with cracks clinging to the skeleton.

His dazzling white hair also turned a withered yellow, as if all his vitality had been burned. The wide black robe drooped over his shriveled body, like a withered leaf, powerlessly covering a dead branch, exuding a sense of desolation.

"Headmaster."

Seeing Qian Yuanzi's current situation, the Great Elder couldn't help but show a trace of sadness in his eyes, and he couldn't help but step out.

However, the uncontrollable power of life and death surged past, forming waves of energy in the secret realm. With the strength of the great elder, it was difficult for him to get close to the place where Qian Yuanzi was in seclusion in the center.

"Leave this to me, you can leave now."

The Taiqing Palace Master spoke, and his cold voice seemed to fluctuate a little.

"Thank you for your help. If you need anything in the future, I will be happy to help you!"

The Lord of Taiqing Palace came here this time out of friendship. Regardless of success or failure, he owes a huge favor to the great elder. The implication of the Great Elder's words is that he will take the responsibility of this matter and will not involve the Qianhai Sect.

The Taiqing Palace Master didn't care about his attitude and said calmly: "I will try my best. Whether it will succeed depends on his luck."

The Great Elder bowed again, then looked at Qian Yuanzi and the Taiqing Palace Master with a complicated look, sighed, and turned to leave the secret realm.

After the Great Elder left, the Taiqing Palace Master moved and flew towards the center of the secret realm. An invisible aura formed around her, isolating the out-of-control forces of life and death outside and unable to get close to her body.

In a moment, the Master of Taiqing Palace arrived at the retreat site, appeared beside Qian Yuanzi, and his eyes fell on him.

Looking at the tragic image of Qian Yuanzi, a ripple appeared in the eyes of the Taiqing Palace Master.

The tall and vigorous young man in the past has now turned into a living dead man, in imminent danger.
Looking at the withered figure of Qian Yuanzi, the Taiqing Palace Master vaguely recalled the past when the two met and trained together in the Dongxuan Territory.

At that time, Qian Yuanzi was full of ambition and always said that he wanted to become stronger. When his strength surpassed her, he would stand in front of her and block all the wind and rain for her.

Unfortunately, the Taiqing Palace Master was extremely gifted, and no matter how hard Qian Yuanzi chased her, he could only see her back. For many years, he had always been the weaker one, the one being protected.
Until later, Qian Yuanzi encountered a bottleneck and was stuck at the peak of the Death Profound Realm, unable to make any progress. He watched helplessly as the distance between him and the Master of Taiqing Palace grew farther and farther.

The lofty words of the past seem to be just the nonsense of youthful frivolity.

But the Taiqing Palace Master knew that Qian Yuanzi had never given up the idea and had not even married another woman to pass on his bloodline as a descendant of the sea giant.

"Still can't let it go?"

After so many years, the Master of Taiqing Palace is still in her prime, like a young girl, but Qian Yuanzi has already aged and is now at the end of his life.

This obsession cannot be let go, just because of an encounter in youth.

The Master of Taiqing Palace looked at the withered figure in front of him and shook his head slightly.

As the successor of Jiutian Taiqing Palace, in order to practice the Supreme Induction Technique, she must keep her body and mind pure and not be contaminated by dust.

Years of being pure and simple have made the heart of the Taiqing Palace Master cold and indifferent. He has no desires or requests and is only focused on the path of cultivation.

Did she have feelings for that tall boy back then? I don't remember.

Maybe there was a little bit, but that faint feeling was also buried along with the many emotions of the Taiqing Palace Master during so many years of cultivation.

The Taiqing Palace Master stared at the figure, his eyes fluctuating and a gleam in his eyes.

"This is your fate."

If you fall into obsession, you will encounter this disaster, because you cannot get what you want.

Outsiders cannot interfere with this kind of disaster. Only the Taiqing Palace Master, who is the obsession himself, can exert some influence.

The Master of Taiqing Palace closed her eyes slightly and entered into a mysterious state. The next moment, a strange aura emerged from her.

The aura was like a dream, like reincarnation. The Taiqing Palace Master's mind was flowing, and the invisible force formed an illusory net that enveloped the figures of the two.

Under the illusory net, the two people's auras blended with each other, and a special wave appeared on them.

The master of Taiqing Palace performed a secret method inherited from the Jiutian Taiqing Palace, "Taiqing Xianyin".

Through this secret method, the Lord of Taiqing Palace can project his consciousness into Qian Yuanzi's spiritual world, establish a spiritual connection with him, and thus influence his disaster.

At this moment, Qian Yuanzi was already on his deathbed, unable to isolate himself from outside interference. His spiritual world was defenselessly displayed before the eyes of the Taiqing Palace Master.

The excitement of practicing for the first time, the joy of defeating the enemy, the high spirits of joining the sect, the responsibility of taking over as the headmaster,
Scenes from the past emerged at this moment, but among those scenes, the one that appeared the most times was a beautiful figure.

The Master of Taiqing Palace entered Qian Yuanzi's inner world and saw this scene, which caused a surge in his heart.

Is it so profound?
If you don’t let go of such a deep obsession, how can you understand life and death and enter reincarnation?
When the Taiqing Palace Master saw those scenes, some memories were also brought back to him.

If that year
No, it’s useless to think about these things. There aren’t so many ifs in the world. This is the story she started, and now she has to finish it!
The master of Taiqing Palace focused his mind and used all his strength to activate the "Taiqing Immortal Guide", and a strange aura began to flow.

"Lotus heart!"

As if sensing the aura of the Master of Taiqing Palace, Qian Yuanzi couldn't help but call out, and his voice echoed in the spiritual world.

The heart of the Taiqing Palace Master was moved. The call did not come from Qian Yuanzi in front of her, but coincided with the voice of the tall young man back then. It was as if the young him had crossed time and was talking to her now.

"There's no need for that." She spoke softly, her tone rising and falling.

"I am just a passer-by in your life, why bother?"

Back then, she just appeared in Qian Yuanzi's life at that time and walked into his heart.

If life is a script, she just happened to occupy the position of "protagonist". If she were to live again, the plot might be different.

"Reincarnation, lead!"

The Taiqing Palace Master muttered silently in her heart, and the next moment, a special wave emanated from her body, a fusion of life and death, just like reincarnation.

The waves of reincarnation followed the invisible web woven by Taiqing Xianyin and entered Qian Yuanzi's spiritual world. Under the influence of those waves, some new pictures were faintly forming.

The figure of the Taiqing Palace Master also appeared in those pictures, but it was different from before.

"I hope he can figure it out."

The Taiqing Palace Master murmured. At this moment, she had already put all her strength into it. With the help of the magic of "Taiqing Xianyin", she constructed a life segment for Qian Yuanzi, as if he was experiencing a new life.

If the Master of Taiqing Palace had not already touched reincarnation, she would not have been able to perform the "Taiqing Immortal Guide" to this extent.

However, her own understanding of reincarnation was not very deep, just a superficial understanding, so what she constructed were just false and short fragments, not a complete life.

This is similar to the Sea of ​​Samsara of the strong ones in the Samsara Realm. The Sea of ​​Samsara contains the meaning of reincarnation that they have comprehended. If someone enters the Sea of ​​Samsara, some scenes will appear in front of their eyes, making people sink into them.

The Master of Taiqing Palace has not truly entered the cycle of reincarnation. Even with the assistance of "Taiqing Immortal Guide", it is still not as good as the real Sea of ​​Reincarnation. The fragments she constructed are not very realistic.

The Taiqing Palace Master had no idea whether it could affect Qian Yuanzi and make him feel touched. All she could do was to stay here and help Qian Yuanzi get through this disaster as much as possible.

"let it go."

The Taiqing Palace Master murmured softly, and the cold voice echoed in the spiritual world, like a distant sound floating down from the sky, awakening the stubborn fool.

Let go of obsessions, understand life and death, and enter the wheel of reincarnation
In the secret realm, two figures sat opposite each other, their auras intertwined. An invisible net connected their spirits together. Faint fluctuations of reincarnation merged into the net and circulated between the two people.

The two figures, one was an old man with a haggard appearance, and the other was a beautiful woman with a cold temperament.

The two people with huge differences in appearance have an indescribable sense of harmony in this secret realm.

Qian Yuanzi was immersed in the picture created by the Lord of Taiqing Palace. The expression on his face kept changing. As his emotions fluctuated, ripples also arose in his spiritual world.

Scenes flashed before his eyes. As time went by, the tide of the spiritual world began to subside. Qian Yuanzi's expression also began to become peaceful.
In the secret realm, the turbulence formed by the power of life and death gradually subsided and slowly returned to Qian Yuanzi's body.

As the power was brought under control, Qian Yuanzi's skinny body began to gradually become plump, and his aura became more stable.

In the outside world, the soul tablet that was on the verge of breaking was slowly healing, and the fluctuations of the soul within it became stronger and stronger.
