Chapter 252: Chapter 243: Qin Yue’s Path

"Piaomiao Palace may have fallen silent, but after all, it is one of the Hidden Sects. Now that I’m the Saint Heir, if you insist on taking action against me, feel free to do so."

As his words came to an end, the Holy Light that shrouded Mo Wangchen slowly dissipated, and he shrugged nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, everyone furrowed their brows—the identity of Piaomiao Palace Saint held enough sway to cause them apprehension. After all, Piaomiao Palace was one of the forces hidden from the world, safeguarded by saintly figures. If they were to lay a hand on Mo Wangchen at this moment, they would have to face the wrath of these Saint Venerables!

Whirr!

Behind Yaochi Immortal Palace, the vast expanse of space began to fluctuate violently, and then a terrifying presence silently descended. Everyone’s faces showed shock as they looked up, only to see two beautiful figures flying toward them.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived above the square—two women. The Turquoise Pool Saint Venerable, whose beauty was unrivaled, was a heroic figure among women of her time; her renown shook the entire Beiming Land!

And now, next to the Turquoise Pool Saint Venerable, the woman who had accompanied her was dressed in a long white gown, with an ethereal manner, resembling an immortal descending to the world, untainted by the dust of the mortal realm.

"Hmm?"

The moment Mo Wangchen saw the woman, he couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly because he recognized her—it was Qin Yue!

"Could it be... Senior Sister Qin Yue is the one who possesses the Taiyin Body and was ordained as the Turquoise Pool Saintess?"

Indeed, when the Turquoise Pool Saint Venerable had slain the Ancient Kunpeng and taken Senior Sister Qin Yue away, she had mentioned that Qin Yue bore a special physique.

"Greetings to the Turquoise Pool Saint Venerable!"

The entire crowd spoke in unison, all bowing in respect. A Saint Venerable was a revered powerhouse of the age, a figure of immense ability. Throughout Beiming Land, only a few could stand shoulder to shoulder with such an entity.

"That must be the Turquoise Pool Saintess, right?"

"There have been rumors that the current Turquoise Pool Saintess is unparalleled in beauty, and now at first sight, it indeed matches what was expected!"

Many of the younger generation of talents couldn’t help but have a passionate gleam in their eyes upon seeing Qin Yue.

"The Taiyin Body, with the same unique physique as the Turquoise Pool Saintess from a hundred thousand years ago, is now listed among the candidates for Great Emperor!"

"It’s said this generation’s Turquoise Pool Saintess is still in the Primordial Spirit Realm, not yet fully grown. However, bearing the Taiyin Body, her future achievements are bound to be extraordinary."

"Eh?"

However, just as the crowd was abuzz with discussion, they saw a sudden look of astonishment appear on the previously indifferent face of Qin Yue beside the Turquoise Pool Saint Venerable.

"How are you here?" Qin Yue’s eyes widened in surprise as she spotted Mo Wangchen among the crowd.

Hearing her words, everyone was momentarily taken aback, then turned their gaze, which ultimately fell on Mo Wangchen.

"The Turquoise Pool Saintess actually knows him?" The crowd was surprised. The Turquoise Pool Saintess had only recently revealed herself to the world, and before this, no one knew of her existence. How could Mo Wangchen be acquainted with her?

"I would never have thought that the widely talked about Turquoise Pool Saintess of Beiming Land would turn out to be Senior Sister Qin," Mo Wangchen stepped forward and said with a smile.

"You know each other?" Next to Qin Yue, the Turquoise Pool Saint Venerable looked puzzled for a moment and asked.

Qin Yue nodded and whispered in her ear, "This person... was once my junior brother at Pill Sect..."

Pill Sect?

The Turquoise Pool Saint Venerable came to an epiphany, then immediately turned his gaze towards Mo Wangchen, "So that’s how it is. Now that Qin Yue has become the Yaochi Saintess, once you go back, inform the Elders of your Sect that henceforth, she will no longer be a disciple of the Pill Sect."

"What do you mean?" Mo Wangchen was taken aback for a moment, his brow slightly furrowing.

He looked at Qin Yue, "Even though you are now the Yaochi Saintess, is it really necessary to sever ties with the Pill Sect?"

Staring back at Mo Wangchen’s questioning gaze, Qin Yue remained silent. After a moment, she said, "This is my own decision. Although the Pill Sect has shown me great kindness, but..."

Before she could finish, Mo Wangchen shook his head, his eyes growing indifferent, "Whatever the Yaochi Immortal Palace may be, whatever the Yaochi Saintess may be, you were originally the Pill Sect Saintess. Even if you wish to leave the Pill Sect, why not consult with the Sect Leader first? Doing so, aren’t you chilling the Sect Leader’s heart? What would the nearly ten thousand disciples of the Pill Sect think?"

Even though Mo Wangchen had now become the Piaomiao Saint, he had never entertained the thought of leaving the Pill Sect.

He was not only the Piaomiao Palace Saint but also the Pill Sect Saint. Without the Pill Sect, he would probably have died at the hands of the Sword Sect a long time ago, let alone rescue his father and the others from the Yun Country Royal Family.

But Qin Yue was different. From her words just now, Mo Wangchen had gleaned that after becoming the Yaochi Saintess, she harbored the idea of completely severing ties with the Pill Sect.

Qin Yue gritted her teeth, seemingly struggling internally. After a moment, she took a deep breath, her expression returning to calm. When she looked at Mo Wangchen again, it was as if she were facing a stranger, "The Yaochi Immortal Palace has the Dao that I seek. This is my own choice..."

"So these two were once disciples within a certain mortal power?"

Hearing this, the people around also came to a realization, no wonder Mo Wangchen knew the Yaochi Saintess.

"The Yaochi Saintess possesses the Taiyin Physique, and such a physique is most suited to cultivate the Yaochi Immortal Scripture. This young man probably doesn’t know that, once one cultivates the Yaochi Immortal Scripture, one must have an unshakeable Dao Heart, casting aside all former ties, with only the Dao of the Turquoise Pool in mind. It’s a method of isolating oneself, a pursuit for the path of becoming an emperor. Once there’s any hesitation, the Dao Heart will be damaged, and the Yaochi Immortal Scripture will backfire, causing at minimum the collapse of the Spirit Sea, and at worst, the body perishes and the Dao falls!"

"Indeed! Once you cultivate the Yaochi Immortal Scripture, you must let go of all worldly past, including emotional attachments, without being tainted in the slightest."

"The Yaochi Saintess from a hundred thousand years ago, it is said that she had feelings for Ling Changkong, and her body perished and her Dao fell. Now, she lies buried beneath the land of the Heavenly Martial Domain, and only after a hundred thousand years has her ancient tomb emerged..."

Hearing the whispers of those around, Mo Wangchen’s eyebrows knitted together; he truly had never heard of such things before.

Looking at Qin Yue, after taking a deep breath, Mo Wangchen asked, "Are you truly ready to let go of the Pill Sect to pursue your path?"

"I have long since made my decision," Qin Yue replied without hesitation, nodding, "So from now on, you, as well as the Pill Sect, should not come looking for me. You continue being the Pill Sect Saint. With your talent, stepping into the Creation Realm shouldn’t be difficult. I believe with you there, the Pill Sect will grow in the future. My path is the path of becoming an emperor, which differs from yours..."

At this moment, Qin Yue was still unaware that Mo Wangchen had become the Piaomiao Saint. Although she didn’t know why Mo Wangchen was here, after becoming the Yaochi Saintess, she was well aware of how terrifying these Hidden Sects and Ancient Martial families were.

All she could hope for was that Mo Wangchen would abide by his duties, and she also hoped that the Pill Sect would do the same, not to get involved in the grand schemes of the world. This was a kind-hearted warning.

Uh!

Upon hearing this, the entire crowd was momentarily stunned.

An Elder of the Yaochi Immortal Palace who was present stepped forward to explain, "Saintess, the current Piaomiao Saint is also a candidate on the list for the Great Emperor..."

"Piaomiao Saint?" Qin Yue furrowed her brow slightly, then quickly caught on, looking at Mo Wangchen in surprise, "You are that Piaomiao Saint?"

PS: Second update, there will be more later. I had to go out today, so it’s a bit late.

I recommend a book by a friend, "Dragon Sovereign of Myriad Realms."
