“I hope you like it. Watch carefully.” It was no longer possible for Xia Qingchen to open this for Frost. Hence, he could only give this gift he had prepared a thousand years ago to another woman.

He lightly pulled on the rope tying the pouch, and it easily opened.

After that, a beam of divine light shot up to the skies, directly reaching the starry cosmos of deep space.

At this moment, the starry skies were clear and bright.

Stars dotted the vast sky’s expanse. The scene exuded tranquility and was like a painting that remained unchanged from ancient times.

Until that beam of light shot into the astral rivers.

All of a sudden, the stars in the sky shifted position. The constellations moved, interweaving through the air.

Resplendent arcs of light flashed in the sky.

The starlight was gorgeous and silently beautiful.

Zhen Zhilan was in a daze as she watched. Her gaze was filled with awe.

The most beautiful scene in the world was undoubtedly this. It would be hard for her to forget it in her entire life.

A few moments later, the constellations stopped shifting.

When she glanced up again, the unchanging starry painting since ancient times suddenly changed into a painting that filled one with disbelief.

All the stars formed into eight characters in that distant space!

“Hand in hand, we will grow old together!” Zhen Zhilan read out the words in disbelief.

There was only one person in the entire world who could control the starry skies, moving the stars to form words.

And that was Godking Dustless!

It was unknown why but Zhen Zhilan gazed at Xia Qingchen.

He stood under the starlight with hands behind his back. Under the resplendent stars, his back view seemed to grow larger and larger.

From looking at it, she could sense the feeling of desolation and loneliness.

There was an instant where Zhen Zhilan seemed to see a godking that had vanished for a thousand years being revived in Xia Qingchen.

Xia Qingchen gazed at the eight words in the air, boundless disappointment could be seen in his eyes.

The mountains and seas were still there, but the lover he had pledged himself to had long since vanished.

He slowly closed his eyes and turned around. The eight words then scattered into starlight and the scene reverted.

The stars returned to normal.

It was like those eight words that were carved in bones and engraved in the heart had never appeared before.

“The night is late. Miss Zhen, please return,” Xia Qingchen calmly spoke and silently departed.

Zhen Zhilan recovered from her dazed state. She glanced at Xia Qingchen’s back and asked, “Are you Godking Dustless?”

This question was very ridiculous, but she didn’t know why she asked it.

“Godking Dustless has died long ago. In the world, there’s only Godking Frost.” Xia Qingchen’s back faced her as he slowly spoke.

Zhen Zhilan shook her head. “I believe Godking Dustless wouldn’t die.”

This was the reason why their Zhen Clan persisted in worshipping Godking Dustless who had vanished for a thousand years.

Xia Qingchen smiled, feeling a little comforted in his heart. He shook the empty silk brocade pouch in his hand. “I will bring this pouch away. In exchange, I will heal your grandfather. You can bring him to my Xia Manor, and I’ll treat his martial meridians.”

Zhen Zhilan was overjoyed.

Compared to her grandfather’s body, the silk brocade pouch was insignificant.

Xia Qingchen returned to the martial pavilion alone.

When he passed by a little bridge on flowing water, he suddenly halted his steps. He mumbled to himself, “I was careless. To think that I only noticed you now!”

His gaze was like lightning, abruptly turning to the side.

A figure couldn’t hide away in time and decided not to hide any longer.

This person was clad in a robe with flowing sleeves, and a mask to cover his face could be seen. His revealed eyes were sharp and ruthless. “Your death date has arrived!”

The other party rushed over. His speed reached the extent where he could travel three meters with a single step.

At the same time, the inner force he exuded was at the ninth radiance-level of the minor constellation stage.

Xia Qingchen’s eyes narrowed as he went all out to counter.

“Fire Phoenix Illuminates the Sky!” Xia Qingchen had cleared six major meridians and sixty minor meridians. His inner force was already approaching that of the eighth radiance-level. Moreover, he had the strongest martial skills for combat.

However, it was like this person knew Xia Qingchen’s moves.

He leaned backward in advance and avoided this attack.

At the same time, the dagger in his hand pierced toward Xia Qingchen’s thigh.

Xia Qingchen didn’t panic in times of danger. He couldn’t avoid this since he was in mid-air. Hence, he used the five fingers of his right hand to flick out an attack, “Nine Plum Blossoms Bloomed!”

His inner force gushed forth and blasted into his opponent’s wrist.

Si~

His opponent released the dagger due to the pain he felt.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Qingchen spun a circle in the air and safely landed on the ground.

“Damn brat, you have some skill!” The other party revealed a ferocious look and rushed over again.

Xia Qingchen felt no fear. Depending on his cultivation and martial skills, as well as his combat experience, he could fight on equal grounds with this opponent.

After exchanging thirty moves, Xia Qingchen started to feel fatigued due to his inner force being insufficient.

However, the killer was even more anxious than him.

Because he wasn’t able to take down Xia Qingchen despite such a long time, their battle caused a huge commotion and had already attracted the guards patrolling the city.

From afar, the sound of footsteps could be heard rushing over. The faint purple light of torches also shimmered in the distance.

“Consider yourself lucky!” The killer could only give up on his target and choose to leave.

Xia Qingchen stared at his back as he sank into contemplation.

Firstly, who wanted to kill him?

Secondly, what was the killer’s identity? Was he asked by someone or did he want to kill Xia Qingchen himself?

Thirdly, when he left the martial pavilion, he did so abruptly. How did the killer know that he had left the martial pavilion and could even prepare an ambush here?

As he thought about it, the city guards had already rushed over and safely sent him back to the martial pavilion.

Xia Qingchen didn’t make a big deal out of this matter.

Because it would only serve to inadvertently alert an enemy.

Wanting to ambush and kill him? Those people in the dark had to pay a price for it!

After returning to the rest chamber, Xia Qingchen instantly took out the silk brocade pouch and opened it up in a practiced manner. After that, he completely tore it apart, causing it to become strands of golden threads.

Back then, Xia Qingchen used a ball of golden cicada silk to weave this silk brocade pouch.

The golden cicada silk was not only soft and tough, but it was also extremely hard to degrade. This was why it was still undamaged despite the passage of a thousand years.

Now, he caused the silk brocade pouch to be reverted to its original form, which was a ball of ten-foot-long golden cicada silk. He then hid the silk in his sleeves.

The next day.

Qin Lin summoned all the students of the D class. Xia Qingchen naturally wouldn’t be an exception.

“If you don’t wish to go, you can choose not to go.” Qin Lin had privately looked for Xia Qingchen as he discussed with him.

To him, Xia Qingchen’s strong point was in theory, and his actual combat might not be up to par. If Xia Qingchen was injured in the training exercise, things wouldn’t be good.

“No problems, I’ll go,” Xia Qingchen insisted.

He smiled and returned to the class. Compared to the other students who underwent a month of willpower training and were extremely weary, Xia Qingchen was full of energy. His expression was also very relaxed.

“I initially thought you will continue hiding in the resting chamber to live in ease and comfort,” said Liu Yiyi, standing beside him. Other than Xia Qingchen, she was the strongest student in the D class.

She was extremely unwilling to accept the fact that she had lost to Xia Qingchen in the repeat competition.

She felt it was because of a moment of carelessness and that was why she lost to the inner force exertion move, the ‘Nine Plum Blossoms Bloomed’.

“Naturally I won’t. I’m also a student of the D class, and I have to suffer together with everyone. Only then would I be able to assimilate into the group.” Xia Qingchen smiled.

Liu Yiyi glared at him. “Shameless!”

The most arduous period was the past one month. Now that the willpower training had ended, he came out to say such words like suffering together.

How could he have the face to say such things!

“In that case, I wish you good luck. During the training exercise, please do not be the burden and drag everyone down.” Liu Yiyi snorted. After that, she turned her head away and ignored him.

This excursion didn’t only test one’s strength. It also tested one endurance as well as one’s experience in survival.

Xia Qingchen didn’t attend the willpower training. So, she thought it would be very difficult for him to adapt to the wilderness.

“Many thanks.” Xia Qingchen smiled.

Under Qin Lin’s lead, the D class left the martial pavilion and went to the northern outskirts.

As they reached there, a dense forest so vast that one couldn’t see beyond the trees awaited them. The mountain path only went inside it for ten miles.

Ten miles later, this location was one that was rarely visited by humans. There were all sorts of poisonous snakes, worms, and insects. The environment was extremely vile. Ordinary people would find it tough to continue advancing.

“The target is the Ping Lake a hundred miles away.” Qin Lin gave every student a map.

“From now onward, form yourselves up into small teams or you can proceed alone. You guys have to reach there in a month. Those who failed to reach within the time limit would be considered to have failed the training exercise.”

Liu Yiyi shot a provocative glance at Xia Qingchen. She grabbed her map and immediately departed. “I will wait for you at Ping Lake!”

Xia Qingchen smiled. He also chose to proceed alone.

But given his movement technique, it was destined that he would be the one waiting for her.
