Chu Keqing departs after an emotional farewell with Chen Yan, assuring him she'll return soon. Gu Qingyi observes their interaction and initially doubts Chu Keqing's sincerity, but later acknowledges her genuine feelings. Chen Yan rejects Gu Qingyi's plea for him to return to the Domain Realm with her, revealing Chu Keqing left him a warning before departing: cultivating in the Domain Realm is a dead end.

Chapter 394: "Will Really Die"

"A dead end..."

Gu Qingyi’s expression changed, muttering those four words softly, but quickly snapped back to reality, looking at Chen Yan, patiently continuing to persuade:

"She is a Saint; Saints see further, and the path of cultivation in the Domain Realm is indeed cut off, but that only applies to the path of the Saints!

The distance from Realm-Breaking Celestial to the threshold of the Saint is still very, very far!

She is right to say it’s a dead end, but it’s better to fail at becoming a Saint than to die at the Celestial Human Realm in this world!!"

Chen Yan still shook his head, "I don’t think so."

"What?"

"I think when she said ’a dead end’, it wasn’t about the path of the Saints being cut off. Rather, it’s..."

"Rather what?"

"To her, the word ’dead’ she mentioned, I’m afraid, is literal."

Gu Qingyi had a peculiar expression, thought seriously for a moment, then shook her head, "Nonsense!

Although there are only forty-two Saints in the Domain Realm, there are countless cultivators below them!

Aren’t they all living well?

Beyond the Celestial Human Realm, one can cultivate up to the Primordial Spirit Realm. Many Great Powers are stuck at the Great Perfection of the Primordial Spirit Realm, stuck for a lifetime, yet they live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years!"

Chen Yan looked down, watching Gu Qingyi’s hand, which, in her agitation, unknowingly grasped his own tightly.

He smiled, gently withdrew his hand and kneaded it a bit, smiled wryly, "Don’t worry, sit down. I want to tell you something."

"..."

Gu Qingyi gazed deeply at Chen Yan, but still suppressed her anger and sat down.

But as soon as she touched the chair, Chen Yan’s next words almost made her jump up again!

"Actually, I’ve been to the Domain Realm."

"..."

Two seconds later, Gu Qingyi exclaimed, "What did you say?!!"

Chen Yan, however, smiled amicably. But the words he spoke, one by one, struck Gu Qingyi’s ears, causing the shock on her face to grow more intense.

"The Fierce Beast Race was provoked, your brother Gu Jinjia stole the Divine Tree Juice, I was his accomplice.

The Icefield outside Snow Cliff Pass, I was the one who blew it up and caused it to collapse!

You managed to win that battle with the Fierce Beast Race, I also contributed significantly!

I witnessed the Gu Family merchant ship at Joyful Sect’s domain being ambushed.

It was by my own hands that I captured the East Sea.

Oh yes, I also went to the Southern Border, met another of your brothers, Gu Tongbing, in the City of No Return.

He almost killed me, and I almost killed him, but later we became partners in crime, becoming friends; he wanted to recruit me for something, but I refused.

I also visited the Black Wood Tribe of the Ghost Race, witnessing the great cleansing where a dozen elders were massacred.

At last, I met my old lady, and she locked me in a place for a long time but also let me see many hidden truths. Finally, she gave me a huge fortune and kicked me back to this world, and also closed the passage, so now I can’t return to the Domain Realm..."

Gu Qingyi was thoroughly stunned!!

She only felt that each word from Chen Yan she understood, but strung together, she couldn’t comprehend a single sentence!

"Speaking of which, we actually almost met at the Joyful Sect back then; I was in the hall being interrogated, you were sitting inside, and I even heard you talking."

"..."

Gu Qingyi’s breathing became rapid, followed by silence, then rapid breathing again...

Chen Yan sighed, slowly stood up, taking a step back, raised both hands, and made a standard sect salute towards Gu Qingyi.

"135th brother of the Brotherhood under Snow Cliff Pass, Outer Sect Artifact Refining Hall walker disciple of Celestial Demon Yin Yang Joyful Sect, greets General Gu Qingyi of Snow Cliff Pass!

Oh no! It should be... Greetings, Gu! Tieding! General!"

The previous words, Gu Qingyi had not even reacted yet, still looking bewildered. But the words "Gu Tieding" came out...

Gu Qingyi’s face instantly turned black!!

"What did you call me!!"

Young Lady Gu sprang up from the chair, swung her palm out, Chen Yan screamed in pain, and his body went flying to the side, directly from the dining room to the living room.

Fortunately, although Young Lady Gu struck in outrage, she still had restraint; with this palm, Chen Yan landed exactly on the sofa in the living room.

Just a cracking sound, and the sofa split into two pieces!

Gu Qingyi was furious, her face livid, glaring at Chen Yan: "Who told you that name, Gu Tieding!"

Chen Yan smiled bitterly as he climbed out of the shattered sofa, rubbing his buttocks, "I became sworn brothers with your eldest brother Gu Jinjia!

I became a life-and-death bond with your third brother Gu Tongbing!

You wonder how I would know?"

Gu Qingyi’s fingers were trembling.

Chen Yan chuckled, "Speaking just between the two of us, calling you Young Lady Gu is not wrong.

But considering your eldest and third brothers, I already became brothers with them.

You should call me elder brother instead."

Chen Yan was about to gloat, but suddenly his expression changed!

Because Gu Qingyi was standing there, her hand shook, and from her sleeve appeared a knife, held firmly in her hand!

"Do you know, the last person before you to call me Gu Tieding in front of me was four years and three months ago!

That person is already dead!

Killed by me personally!

The grave is just a cenotaph because when he died at my hands, I scattered his bones to nothing!"

Gu Qingyi waved the knife in her hand, staring at Chen Yan, "I’ll give you a chance, think carefully about how you should address me. Do you want to be my sworn brother, or...?"
