Chapter 1104: Eternal Ancient Fire_1
At that moment, Yanguixian Wang had completely ceased to move, and Chu Qin had finally dispelled his strength, landing below the Immortal King Tomb.
Upon seeing Chu Qin, the eight Old Heavenly Venerables tasked with guarding the Immortal King Tomb immediately bowed their heads in greeting.
They had not expected that this man before them could be so terrifying, having suppressed an undying True Immortal in just a few exchanges.
Chu Qin paid them no mind; he looked toward the inside of the Immortal King Tomb just as Li Qingcheng and her companions flew out from within.
"Are you all alright? I was just about to come and get you," Chu Qin asked the group of women.
The women shook their heads, and Long Xue smiled, saying, "The tomb chamber has been destroyed, and the array within is basically inoperative now. We managed to get through such an array."
"I apologize for destroying your Immortal King Tomb," Chu Qin said to the eight Old Heavenly Venerables.
"City Lord has already informed us. Our ancestors' Immortal Bones were all devoured by Yanguixian Wang, it was just an empty grave, so there's no harm in its destruction. We should be thanking Young Master Chu for suppressing Yanguixian Wang!" replied one of the Old Heavenly Venerables.
"Hmm, since that is the case, I'll take my leave," Chu Qin said and, no longer lingering, flew directly toward Tianming Xuandong with the women.
"Thank you, Young Master Chu, for avenging our ancestors!"
As soon as Chu Qin arrived at Tianming Xuandong, Bing Shu immediately knelt down and said with utmost sincerity.
"Miss Bing Shu, please rise," Chu Qin said with a slight smile, helping his wife to her feet. "Miss Bing Shu, you also saved Pangu Tianzun, there's no need to thank me."
"No, the debt owed to Young Master Chu is as deep as the sea. If not for Young Master Chu, one day, Yanguixian Wang would have been a calamity for Tianming Forbidden Area. And saving Pangu Tianzun was but a trifle for me; hence, in any case, we of Tianming Forbidden Area owe Young Master Chu a debt of immense gratitude!" Bing Shu earnestly replied.
"This debt sounds indeed quite large," Chu Qin said with a slight grin. "Are you really prepared to repay it?"
"Yes! Whatever Young Master Chu desires, as long as it is within my capacity, I will do my utmost to fulfill!" Bing Shu said seriously.
"Very well, I want you," Chu Qin said with an intentional smile.
"Ah…" Bing Shu was momentarily stunned.
"I want you to be an elder of my Sanctuary and follow me out," Chu Qin continued.
"The Tianming Forbidden Area remains uninvolved with the outside world, as dictated by our ancestral teachings. However, Young Master Chu has granted the Tianming Forbidden Area a rebirth, I can break from the ancestral teachings. But, Young Master Chu, Bing Shu can never set foot outside of Tianming Xuandong; I truly am unable to do so," Bing Shu said, shaking her head.
"As long as you're willing to break from the ancestral teachings, that's enough. I can take your place and leave Tianming Xuandong," Chu Qin replied calmly with a smile.
"Ah?" Bing Shu's eyes lit up. She had prepared herself for a lifetime confined to Tianming Xuandong.
Now, hearing Chu Qin's words seemed like seeing a beacon of hope in the midst of despair.
"What, you don't believe me?" Chu Qin said with a small smile.
"As long as Young Master Chu can help me leave Tianming Xuandong, Bing Shu is willing to go through fire and water for Young Master Chu!" Bing Shu said, kneeling down once more.
"Why are you kneeling again? I don't need you to go through fire and water, simply be an elder of my Sanctuary and come with me," Chu Qin said, helping Bing Shu to her feet again.
"Yes!" Bing Shu nodded solemnly.
"Bing Shu, do you have any secret chambers here?" Chu Qin continued to ask.
"There are bedrooms, but no secret chambers…" Bing Shu replied softly.
"A bedroom will do, take me there," Chu Qin replied with a smile.
"Qiancheng, Xue'er, Kirin Venerate, Xuan Nu, Luo Yuan, you stay here, waiting for Pangu Tianzun to awaken, I might need some time," Chu Qin looked towards Li Qiancheng and the others.
"Don't worry, off you go, take your time, no rush," Li Qiancheng replied with a peculiar tone.
"Yes, you mustn't be too impatient, we have all the time to wait for you," Long Xue also seemed to notice something and revealed a faint smile.
Chu Qin gave Li Qiancheng and Long Xue a slight glare and walked into the ice-cold bedroom with Bing Shu.
"Lady Qiancheng, Lady Long Xue, what are Young Master and Miss Bing Shu up to?" Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable asked curiously.
"Nothing much, we're just helping City Lord Bing Shu to dissipate the fire poison in her body," Li Qiancheng said with a light smile, shaking her head.
"Sister Qiancheng, it looks like Chu Qin won't be coming out any time soon. How about we take a stroll inside Tianming City?" Long Xue asked, linking arms with Li Qiancheng.
"Sure, let's invite Sister Xuan Nu and Kirin Venerate to join us," Li Qiancheng said, looking at Jiucail Xuan Nu and Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable.
"Mhm, alright!" Jiucail Xuan Nu nodded her head. "Then, Elder Luo Yuan, we'll trouble you to take care of Pangu Tianzun."
"It's my bounden duty!" Elder Luo Yuan replied affirmatively.
Following that, the four ladies left the Tianming Xuandong, clearly elated.
Meanwhile, Chu Qin, with Bing Shu, arrived inside the ice-cold bedroom.
One could see that this bedroom, despite being within the Tianming Xuandong, was decorated extremely delicately and beautifully.
It was filled with a pink tone, full of girlish charm.
It was difficult to imagine that a master of a forbidden area could have such taste.
"Young Master Chu must be laughing," Bing Shu said, her face blushing slightly. "Ever since I successfully passed through tribulation and clung onto life, my cultivation has been unable to increase, and I can never leave this Tianming Xuandong, so I gave up hope and started focusing on the trivial matters of daily life."
"There's nothing to laugh at; I think the decor is particularly beautiful," Chu Qin replied with a light smile. "However, Bing Shu, being alone is ultimately going to be lonely, you should consider finding a companion."
"Ah?" Bing Shu was momentarily stunned. "Young Master Chu, please stop teasing me. With my condition, wouldn't I be holding someone else back?"
"What do you mean holding someone back?" Chu Qin frowned slightly, "You are the master of the Tianming Forbidden Area, holding a high position and power, and you're as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal. Whoever marries you would be fortunate."
"Thank you for the compliment, Young Master Chu." On the surface, Bing Shu still showed shyness, but inside, her heart blossomed with joy. Who wouldn't be happy to be praised by someone of the opposite sex, especially one so perfect?
"Alright, Miss Bing Shu. Let's talk business now," Chu Qin said with a slight smile.
"Business?" Bing Shu showed a hint of confusion.
"Helping you leave this Tianming Xuandong," Chu Qin replied smilingly.
"Young Master Chu, is it really possible to get out?" Bing Shu still looked excited and incredulous.
"It's simple, with this, you can." Chu Qin said, revealing in his hand a purple flame, the very Eternal Ancient Fire.
"Eternal Ancient Fire!" Bing Shu exclaimed with surprise.
"Yes, the Eternal Ancient Fire, which can never be extinguished and has an even lower temperature than the Tianming Xuandong. With it, you won't need to worry about the fire poison inside you," Chu Qin said with a small smile.
"But, this Eternal Ancient Fire is a natural celestial flame, it's too precious!" Bing Shu was tempted, yet she shook her head.
