Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1268 - 378: Unreachable by All but Saints

Chapter 378 [Only a Saint Can Achieve This!]

"The Saint asked me to tell you that she knows what you want, but she can’t promise it to you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan’s fingers trembled, and he clenched his fist slightly!

What he wanted, of course, was Lu Sisi. But the Saint’s message was a straightforward refusal.

Lu Sisi’s divine soul, her memories of this life, are just part of the Saint’s reincarnation during tribulation. Since the Saint has awakened, naturally, this part of Lu Sisi will be absorbed as nourishment.

The Saintess Ghost was explicit in her stance: refusal! No yielding!

"The Saint said that, throughout this affair, it seems you’re the only innocent party, and you’ve contributed a lot, so the Saint will provide you some compensation," Zhou Qingning sighed. "If you ever get a chance to go to Domain Realm, the Saint owes you a favor; you can ask her to act on your behalf once."

Chen Yan’s heart tightened: "I don’t want these, I only want Lu Sisi!"

Zhou Qingning shook his head: "Talking to me about this is useless; I’m merely the messenger."

Chen Yan took a deep breath: "But why, kill Yang Jiaming and Lu Xiuting?"

"Since it’s tribulation crossing, naturally, one must experience life’s joys and sorrows, partings and reunions, births, and deaths; going through them all, and the more extreme the better!

Having one’s family destroyed is just a part of it."

Family destroyed?

Chen Yan sneered.

Lu Sisi, throughout her life, never enjoyed any familial affection, being neglected and gradually subjected to discrimination and indifference from a young age. Even until she met me and her fate improved, Lu Xiuting and Yang Jiaming, as her parents, mostly used her rather than genuinely cared.

In the end, she would have to witness their deaths firsthand...

Was it all bitter, not a bit of sweetness?

Hmm, not quite...

"Actually, everything you’ve done, the Saint was always aware but did not stop you, because your actions were actually beneficial to her tribulation."

"How so?"

"If Lu Sisi were continuously suffering, it wouldn’t be that extreme. She must see some light, some hope, and then... that light is extinguished, hope fades, only then would the pain from the disparity be truly intense."

Chen Yan took a deep breath, staring at Zhou Qingning: "So, I made Lu Sisi’s parents treat her well, helping her regain some familial affection, was..."

"You helped greatly." Zhou Qingning nodded. "Moreover, your own existence was also part of the tribulation. Lu Sisi’s life was bleak, and meeting you brought some improvement to her life.

Sweetness and bitterness are contrasted against each other."

"So, she enjoyed beauty with me, only to lose it later?!" Chen Yan glared at Zhou Qingning, his tone angry.

"I will say it again, Lord Immortal Official, I am just a messenger; this anger directed at me is useless." Zhou Qingning looked at Chen Yan with a hint of pity.

"What role did you play in this affair? From the moment we met, was it part of your plan?"

Zhou Qingning pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "During my time in Domain Realm, after facing countless hardships along the border, I was saved by the Saint, who bestowed upon me a little opportunity, and I vowed to serve the Saint in return. This action is merely to repay the Saint’s benevolence.

I stayed to wait for you for one more reason."

"What is it?"

"The Saint commanded me to do something, although I don’t understand why, but since she commands, I must execute it." After a pause, Zhou Qingning slowly said, "The Saint ordered me to recount the events at Luoyan Town to you."

Luoyan Town?!

The town where Jiang Yu died in battle!

Also, the place where Chen Jue, his own father, slayed tens of thousands of ’Evils’ with one sword strike!

Suddenly, Chen Yan’s heart jumped!

The Saint, she knew who he was!

She knew he was Chen Jue’s son! Otherwise, why would she order Zhou Qingning to tell him these things specifically?

Chen Yan remained silent for a long time, then slowly asked, "After Jiang Yu, Town General’s death in Luoyan Town, what exactly happened? And even though Jiang Yu died in battle, it was an honorable deed, why weren’t you treated well by the Immortal Platform, instead, you encountered disasters?

I’ve seen your memories; you fled to this place while being hunted down and carrying treasures..."

Zhou Qingning looked into Chen Yan’s eyes and slowly said, "Although the fate was set, you saved my life, so I will confess to you. But, Lord Immortal Official...

Even though the Saint commanded me to tell you, this affair is deeply involved, are you sure you want to know? And not afraid to bring disaster upon yourself?

Don’t think that being in this world, far from Domain Realm, means you are safe! Since you’ve seen my memories, you should know, if they truly want to hunt you, cultivators from Domain Realm can still come. Although you’re a Third Realm Cultivator, in Domain Realm, your cultivation is not significant; sending someone to kill you is like crushing an ant."

Chen Yan’s expression didn’t change, he just coldly watched Zhou Qingning.

Seeing Chen Yan’s determined gaze, Zhou Qingning nodded: "Alright, since you want to know, I’ll tell you; the battle of Luoyan Town that year was not as everyone thought..."

As he spoke, Zhou Qingning’s tone gradually became heavy, and his gaze seemed to drift away.

"I am Zhou Qingning, born to parents who were Loose Cultivators and orphaned at a young age. Benefiting from my parents’ bloodline, I naturally possessed some cultivation talent. While traveling with my parents, we encountered Evil Cultivators who struck, killing my parents. I too was meant to die that day."
