Chapter 1058 Past Events of Yaochi
Su Zhe froze in place.
Seemingly realizing that his table-slapping gesture was a bit too forceful, Ke Changlin coughed lightly, unconsciously touching the table surface, and continued:
“Sorry, I got a bit excited… mainly because I’ve been having nightmares these past few days, dreaming of things running out from the mist, so I’m a bit sensitive about this…
Anyway, I’ll go change shifts now. You should eat these pancakes while they’re hot, they’ll get cold soon.”
Ke Changlin stood up from his seat, waved at the Su Zhe and Su Yuan siblings, wrapped his military coat tightly around himself, and walked toward the bitterly cold outdoors.
Snowflakes drifted through the gaps in the soft plastic door curtain. Su Zhe stared at the baked pancake on the table, falling silent.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Seeing Su Zhe frozen, Su Yuan asked.
“Oh, nothing.” Su Zhe came back to his senses, shook his head, reached for the pancake on the table, and stuffed a big bite into his mouth.
“How does it taste?”
“Very fragrant.” Su Zhe chewed the baked pancake, as if remembering something, fell silent,
“Just… a little worse than the pancakes mom used to make.”
…
Lin Qiye’s figure slowly descended onto the mountain peak.
Seeing Lin Qiye return, the bored Nezha’s eyes immediately lit up. He rushed to Lin Qiye and asked eagerly:
“I just saw the Queen take action herself. What happened?”
Nearby, Yang Jian also opened his eyes and looked toward Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye smiled helplessly and recounted everything he had witnessed.
“The Immortality Pill was stolen?” Nezha’s brows slightly furrowed.
“What exactly is this Immortality Pill?” Lin Qiye asked.
“The Immortality Pill was a divine pill refined by Lingbao Tianzun thousands of years ago,” Yang Jian’s voice came from the side. “It is said that Lingbao Tianzun refined this pill to survive a great calamity of heaven and earth, but after the pill was completed, heavenly lightning struck and split the pill in half.”
“Yes, I heard my master mention it too,” Nezha nodded repeatedly, then continued,
“According to legend, when Lingbao Tianzun saw the pill split by lightning, his face immediately changed color, because the original purpose of refining this pill was to survive the great calamity. The lightning destroying the pill meant that this calamity was extremely dangerous and couldn’t be overcome by external means.
After that, Lingbao Tianzun secluded himself for a thousand years, seeking methods to survive the calamity.”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed.
A calamity that even the three Tianzun of Great Xia couldn’t handle?
What exactly could that be?
“Then what happened? Did he find a way?”
“…I don’t know.” Yang Jian shook his head slightly,
“After Lingbao Tianzun went into seclusion, he vanished without a trace. Even we have never seen him… We only know that later, Yuanshi Tianzun took the split Immortality Pill and stored it in the Jade Pool of Kunlun Void.”
Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully, “Do you know who took the Immortality Pill?”
Hearing this, Yang Jian and Nezha were both stunned.
“The Immortality Pill was taken?” Nezha asked in surprise. “When did this happen?”
Seeing their reactions, Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed even more.
The Immortality Pill had been taken two thousand years ago, as the Queen Mother of the West had told him personally, yet Yang Jian and Nezha didn’t know?
This meant that the loss of the Immortality Pill was a secret within Kunlun Void?
Yes, back in the Pill Hall, when the yellow-dressed maid asked him to seize the pill, she said “don’t let her take the Immortality Pill” rather than “don’t let her take the Immortality Pill container.”
If the yellow-dressed maid had known the Immortality Pill container was empty, she would have directly asked Lin Qiye to seize the Immortality Pill container. This way, Si Xiaonan wouldn’t have gotten the Immortality Pill first. Seizing an empty container would be meaningless for the Jade Pool.
Even Zhuhun, who accompanied the Queen Mother of the West, didn’t know the truth about the lost Immortality Pill?
“About two thousand years ago,” Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then asked, “Did anything unusual happen at the Jade Pool during that time?”
“Two thousand years ago… I wasn’t even a god yet.” Nezha scratched his head and turned to Yang Jian. “Yang Jian, do you know?”
Yang Jian narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said:
“Two thousand years ago, for unknown reasons, the Queen Mother personally bloodied the Jade Pool. All the celestial soldiers, generals, and even the maids and divine birds of the Jade Pool were killed without exception. Blood soaked the soil of the Peach Garden, turning the entire Jade Pool crimson.
This incident even alarmed the two Tianzun. They sealed the Jade Pool with their divine arts for three days and three nights before the turmoil subsided.
However, the reason why the Queen bloodied the Jade Pool that year remains unknown. Perhaps only she herself and the two Tianzun know.”
The Queen Mother of the West personally bloodied the Jade Pool?
What connection did this have with the loss of the Immortality Pill? And what connection did it have with Jialan’s appearance?
Lin Qiye felt that everything before him had become mysterious again.
“By the way, why haven’t we disappeared after so many days?” Nezha seemed to remember something and looked at his hands in confusion. “Isn’t this time shadow lasting a bit too long?”
Lin Qiye came back to his senses, shook his head and said, “Perhaps the Queen is just bored…”
Halfway through his sentence, Lin Qiye froze.
That’s not right.
The Peach Banquet has already ended, and besides Yang Jian and Nezha before him, there shouldn’t be any other Great Xia gods in the Jade Pool. Even if the Queen Mother wanted some entertainment, she wouldn’t choose this time, would she?
Moreover, Loki just attacked the Jade Pool. How could she be bored now?
“I’m not sure either,” Lin Qiye sighed. His mind was in chaos, with various pieces of information intertwined, without any clue. “It’s about time for me to leave Kunlun Void and return to the real world…”
Only a few hours remained until the last day of the seven-day assessment. He had to return before the new recruits finished.
Lin Qiye turned his head, looking at Yang Jian before him with complex emotions.
“Mm.” Yang Jian nodded slightly. “Go… see you in the future.”
Lin Qiye seemed to want to say something more, but finally just said four words: “See you in future.”
“And me too.” Nezha waved at him, smiling, “See you in the future. When you become a god, let’s have a good fight!”
Lin Qiye smiled, turned around and flew toward the exit of Kunlun Void.
Just as his right foot took a step, Kunlun Void beneath his feet began to shake violently!
