Chapter 114 - Heaven and Earth



Edited by Zaki



The sky on the top of the mountain was still dark, with thick fog lingering around. There was no trace of any plants on the rugged black rocks. The environment here seemed completely different from that at the bottom of the mountain, filled with a deadly atmosphere. The torch in Lu Qingjiu’s hand had been extinguished, so he could only turn on the flashlight and grope on forward again. It was too dark around him, and coupled with the thick fog, the flashlight in his hand was like the light of a firefly, and his speed forward was forced to slow down.


However, Lu Qingjiu could vaguely hear some strange sounds coming from a distance. The sound was like the roar of a giant beast, penetrating the thick fog. Lu Qingjiu followed the sound and kept searching. Lu Qingjiu remembered that the top of the mountain was surrounded by steep cliffs, so he took every step with extreme caution. But even so, when he reached the edge of the top of the mountain, he almost missed a step and was about to fall down. Fortunately, he reacted in time and sat directly on the ground to prevent his body from slipping off the edge of the cliff.


Cold sweat broke out on Lu Qingjiu’s forehead as he quickly moved a little further away from the edge of the cliff. He remembered that he had seen some wonderful sights here previously, but now the fog was too thick that he couldn’t see anything. Lu Qingjiu heard another dragon roar, and he felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, wanting to see clearly what was happening in the thick fog.


Just when Lu Qingjiu was thinking this, a crisp sound like breaking porcelain came to his ears. The sound was very loud and seemed to come from above his head. Lu Qingjiu raised his head involuntarily and looked at the dark sky above him. He was shocked to find that there were cracks in the dark sky above his head, as if it had been broken by something.


Golden rays of light shot out from the gap in the sky. The rays of light broke through the obstruction of the sky and scattered, showing mottled light spots on the ground.


This golden light gradually dispersed the fog, and the surrounding scene gradually became clearer. Lu Qingjiu finally saw Bai Yuehu and several dragons who were fighting with the Bai Yuehu. There were seven or eight of these dragons, most of them Zhulongs. Bai Yuehu chased and bit them in the distance, their movements were so fast that Lu Qingjiu could barely see their traces clearly.


Lu Qingjiu’s mind was filled with worries about Bai Yuehu being injured. He noticed that the place where the dragons were fighting was on a solitary peak that he had seen before. The outer wall of the solitary peak was smooth as a mirror, reaching straight into the sky, as if supporting the space between heaven and earth. Lu Qingjiu remembered that when he came here previously, he had seen a black dragon swimming around the lonely peak. Could it be the true form of Bai Yuehu?


Under the siege of several Zhulongs, Bai Yuehu did not show any disadvantage. Lu Qingjiu felt at ease and kept praying in his heart that Bai Yuehu could defeat them. But soon, Lu Qingjiu discovered something strange. These Zhulongs didn’t seem to be rushing for Bai Yuehu. Their goal seemed to be the solitary peak behind Bai Yuehu.


The Zhulongs flew in mid-air, circled and watched, and when they found an opening, they rushed up towards the lonely peak at a very high speed, crashing heavily onto the peak. Their huge size left cracks one after another on the cliffs of the lonely peak, and the scales on their bodies also cracked. Lu Qingjiu even saw a Zhulong that had broken off his own Dragon horns.


Bai Yuehu was still being harassed by several other Zhulongs. He obviously wanted to stop the actions of these Zhulongs, but the Zhulongs that entangled him seemed to have no regard for their lives at all and used their own bodies to forcefully block Bai Yuehu, not caring about any injuries on themselves.


Bang!” there was another loud noise, and Lu Qingjiu watched helplessly as a Zhulong crashed to death on the solitary peak. Its originally graceful body became twisted, and bright red blood bloomed on the black stone wall like a beautiful flower. Then it began to slide slowly, falling straight into the endless abyss.


During the Zhulong’s suicide attack, Bai Yuehu managed to get rid of several Zhulongs around him, but at this moment, large swaths of icy blue snowflakes fell from the sky. These snowflakes seemed to have floated over from the other end of the gap and only fell around the lonely peak. Lu Qingjiu could clearly see that after those snowflakes came into contact with the dragon scales, they would quickly freeze the dragon scales into ice blue color. As a result, Bai Yuehu’s originally vigorous figure became a little sluggish. Seeing another Zhulong trying to hit the lonely peak, Bai Yuehu gritted his teeth and flew forward, using his own body to resist the Zhulong’s attack.


The Zhulong struck with all his strength, and hit Bai Yuehu’s body. He was knocked out of a weird arc by the Zhulong, and the Dragon’s claws were also twisted into abnormal shapes; they were obviously broken. Lu Qingjiu felt extremely distressed. He really couldn’t bear to see the black Dragon he usually coaxed and doted on to suffer such a thing. But what could he do? The quarter of the Dragon blood in his body couldn’t do anything at all. He was just an incompetent mortal who could only watch his lover being killed by those monsters.


Bai Yuehu roared again, biting the neck of the Zhulong that hit him, and then threw it hard, throwing the Zhulong directly into the abyss. But even though he killed another Zhulong, it was just a drop in the bucket. The surrounding Zhulongs launched another attack. Bai Yuehu stopped them several times before his momentum slowly declined. Usually with some time, he might be able to defeat these Zhulongs, but none of the Zhulongs in front of him had the idea of ​​surviving. They were not concerned with Bai Yuehu at all, and all their attention was placed on the black solitary peak in front of them, as if breaking the solitary peak would be their victory.


Lu Qingjiu didn’t understand why they were attacking the peak at first, until he noticed that every time the Zhulong damaged the lonely peak a little, the cracks in the sky became a little bigger.


The cracks in the black sky became more and more obvious, and the golden light illuminated the dark world. However, this light did not make people feel warm. Instead, it gave Lu Qingjiu a white and cold feeling. He used this light to see the ferocious wounds on Bai Yuehu’s body. In order to block the Zhulong, the scales on one side of his body had become bloody and mangled, and the wounds were deep enough to show the bones. The originally slender and strong body had become twisted, as if its spine had been hit. But even so, Bai Yuehu had no intention of retreating. His eyes were burning with a strong fighting spirit, protecting the inviolable land behind him, and even if he died, he would not take a step back.


Unknowingly, Lu Qingjiu’s eyes became wet. He looked at Bai Yuehu in a daze and used all his strength to hug the wooden box in his arms. He remembered Xuan Yu’s words, if he was the one who could end it all, he wished to do it right away, no matter what price it would take.


There was another violent impact, and Bai Yuehu seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. Due to inertia, his body hit the lonely peak heavily, and then began to slide slowly.


“Bai Yuehu, Bai Yuehu, no, Ao Yue, Ao Yue!” Lu Qingjiu called Bai Yuehu’s name tremblingly. He watched helplessly as Bai Yuehu’s body continued to fall, as he called for his lover. Bai Yuehu’s head was lowered, but his furry ears suddenly moved, as if he heard something, he slowly raised his head and glanced in Lu Qingjiu’s direction. Because they were far apart, Lu Qingjiu was not sure if he was hallucinating, but he could see that Bai Yuehu barely controlled his body, stopped falling, and followed the rock wall of the lonely peak and started to climb up awkwardly.


There were two Zhulongs around, but Bai Yuehu had no strength to stop them. He tried to use his body as a buffer to let the Zhulongs hit him, but the Zhulongs had already seen his intentions and took a sharp turn.


Bang!” Like the sound of a death wish, the Zhulong’s dragon horns shattered into pieces when it banged against the lonely peak’s rock wall. Along with it, its originally solid body and its dragon scales also shattered, the body contorted into a messy angle, the white brain matter and red blood splattered mid-air, and it was just dead. But his death was not meaningless. Lu Qingjiu clearly heard the sound of rocks collapsing. He watched helplessly as the solitary peak protected by Bai Yuehu began to fall apart. Large chunks of black stone fell from the peak, and the solitary peak also became shaky.


“Get out of the way, Bai Yuehu.” An ice-blue figure floated in the sky, with a coldness like ice and snow. He said, “Your sacrifice is meaningless.”


Bai Yuehu didn’t answer, but just let out an angry roar.


“Get out of the way.” The person who spoke was a man Lu Qingjiu had never seen before. However, his long icy-blue hair and appearance that were somewhat similar to Xuan Yu made Lu Qingjiu realize that this identity was the result of the fusion. The Winter God’s corrupted soul obviously dominating, the Xuan Yu that Lu Qingjiu had seen before had completely disappeared.


Bai Yuehu glared at the God of Winter with hatred, his voice was hoarse and full of anger: “Get lost!”


The Winter God looked indifferent and said: “Zhu Rong is dead, no one can help you.”


“How could Zhu Rong die if it wasn’t because of you?” Bai Yuehu exclaimed, “I won’t listen to your nonsense, and I won’t let you in. Get lost.” There was another Dragon roar, and the rocks on the solitary peak rustled down. He used his body to block the crack in Lone Peak, refusing to take a step back.


The God of Winter said coldly: “Then it will be as you wish.” After he said this, more snowflakes fell from the sky, and Bai Yuehu’s body was frozen even more severely, and the most desperate thing of all was that many red eyes appeared in the cracks in the sky that shot out golden light.


These eyes greedily peered into everything in the Human World. Even through the cracks, Lu Qingjiu could detect the violence and murderous aura in their eyes.


Then a Zhulong began to try to break open the crack. It first stretched out a claw, then its head, and then its body. But just when it tried to squeeze out, the seemingly dying Bai Yuehu turned back and flew into the sky. And before the Zhulong could come over, he took a sharp bite and bit off the Zhulong’s head.


Wuu” The Zhulong suffered severe pain and gave out a scream before losing his breath. Bai Yuehu was breathing heavily. It was obvious that he was exhausted and could no longer maintain his momentum.


The Winter God didn’t care, and with a wave of his hand, the Zhulongs at the other end of the crack began to squeeze in.


This time two Zhulongs came directly, Bai Yuehu said angrily: “You are dreaming!”


But the God of Winter smiled faintly and said, “Did you forget something?”


Bai Yuehu froze.


Winter God said: “There is one more thing.” After he finished speaking, a fiery red figure appeared next to him. It was the figure of his Grandfather who had just handed the torch to Lu Qingjiu. Grandpa had red hair and was obviously the corrupted one. Before Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu could react, they saw him flash back into his Dragon form and slam into the already crumbling lone peak.


“Grandpa!!” Lu Qingjiu screamed in horror, but it was too late.


Ao Run had already tried his best in this collision. Although he no longer had the Dragon’s horns, his huge Dragon body and immense force instantly shattered the broken lone peak into pieces.


With a loud noise, the lone peak in front of him began to tilt slowly, making an earth-shattering sound. The rocks above continued to fall, falling into the endless abyss. Also falling with Lone Peak was Ao Run, who was smiling with satisfaction. As if he had fulfilled a wish, he fell into the bottomless sea of clouds along with the tumbling rocks.


As the solitary peak broke, the golden crack in front of Lu Qingjiu began to expand. The crack that could only accommodate a Zhulong became a passage for them to pass at will. Even if Bai Yuehu wanted to stop it, he was powerless. The red Zhulongs, like streaks of flame, rushed towards the Human World, but they seemed to have no interest in Bai Yuehu. They did not attack him, but began to swim around the Winter God, as if they were fluttering butterflies.


The dark sky began to crack piece by piece, and the golden light continued to extend from the cracks, eventually spreading to the entire sky. The sky atop of Lu Qingjiu’s head seemed to have turned into a fragile piece of porcelain, and the black night was gradually encroached by the golden light.


Lu Qingjiu looked at Bai Yuehu, and Bai Yuehu looked at Lu Qingjiu. The two looked at each other, and they both saw the tenderness in each other’s eyes. Bai Yuehu began to fly towards Lu Qingjiu. He was in a sorry state, but he still wanted to use his last strength to meet Lu Qingjiu.


Lu Qingjiu also showed a look of anticipation, but just as Bai Yuehu slowly approached Lu Qingjiu, debris falling from the sky hit him hard. Bai Yuehu could usually swing away from such things but today he did not have the strength. Lu Qingjiu screamed in anguish, as he watched Bai Yuehu being hit. The fragment seemed to be extremely heavy. After Bai Yuehu was hit, he let out a low moan of pain, and immediately lost consciousness and fell straight into the abyss.


Lu Qingjiu missed him by a narrow chance.


“No, no, no!!” Lu Qingjiu screamed. He knelt on the edge of the cliff and stretched out his hand towards Bai Yuehu, trying to catch his beloved black Dragon, but everything was in vain. Bai Yuehu just disappeared before his eyes into the abyss shrouded by the sea of clouds.


“Yuehu, Bai Yuehu!” Lu Qingjiu called Bai Yuehu’s name desperately, but there was no answer.


Ice blue snowflakes began to spread from the top of the solitary peak towards the surroundings, falling on Lu Qingjiu’s head and shoulders, but he did not feel cold, all his attention was focused on the bottomless abyss in front of him. .


The cracks in the sky had completely spread as far as the eye could see, and behind the cracks, there were countless pairs of colorful eyes peering into the world, and in those eyes there was greed, there was brutality, and there was also curiosity and suspicion.The  curiosity of one world for another, and they began to try to push their bodies out of the cracks, making the cracks even bigger.


Were the two worlds about to merge?


Lu Qingjiu thought blankly, what if Bai Yuehu still failed? What should he do? Could he just sit here, waiting for everything to happen like a helpless lamb?


No, he must be able to do something.


While Lu Qingjiu was thinking this, he suddenly felt that the wooden box he was holding in his arms had undergone a mysterious change. When he lowered his head and looked down, he found that a faint layer of red misty light had appeared on the lock of the text on the wooden box. Lu Qingjiu immediately remembered that Bai Yuehu once said that the text lock on this wooden box was special and that it had to be opened by inputting a specific text at a specific time. For example, only on the day of Lu Qingjiu’s birthday would the three words, Lu Qingjiu, appear, and now, this word lock seemed to have a hidden secret.


“Answer, what’s the answer?” Lu Qingjiu flipped through the word lock, but found nothing. There were too many alternative answers to the word lock at this time. He even flipped through more than fifty times without getting to the bottom. The sky was about to collapse, he simply didn’t have the time to guess the answers one by one.


“Calm down, calm down.” Lu Qingjiu kept comforting himself in his heart. He began to try to recall all the information, trying to find the answer to the word lock. The word lock could only have three words, and all answers were also three words, so what exactly was it?


“Bai Yuehu, Lu Qingjiu, no no no…” Lu Qingjiu remembered what Xuan Yu had said to find him before, “Someone has already given you the answer. You are the only one who can save all this.”


Lu Qingjiu thought, what did it mean that someone had already given him the answer? What is the answer? He was so anxious that in order to calm himself down, he bit off half of his nails. He looked towards the sky that was about to shatter, and then looked towards the bottomless abyss again, suddenly remembered something.


Lu Qingjiu thought about the hexagram that the Old Tree had once calculated for him.


“When the water runs out in the land of poor mountains, in a village of dark willows, it is difficult to keep flowers tomorrow. If you do not enter the water, assistance is unavoidable, and the mountains and rivers will not be restored.” He read out the hexagram that he once didn’t understand word for word. When Lu When Qingjiu read the last three sentences, he suddenly trembled all over, and repeated again, “If you do not enter the water, assistance is unavoidable, and the mountains and rivers will not be restored.” The Old Tree once said that if the first two sentences were Lu Qingjiu’s situation, then what happened in the next three sentences were the solution.


“If you do not enter the water, assistance is unavoidable, and the mountains and rivers will not be restored.” Lu Qingjiu recited, but suddenly smiled, he finally understood the meaning of Xuan Yu’s words at this time. Someone had indeed told him the answer, and told it so obviously, it was only he himself, who did not understand.


“Buzhou Mountain.” Lu Qingjiu slowly entered these three words into the text lock. Lu Qingjiu’s whole body tensed up, and then he heard a pleasant soft sound.


Bata.” The text lock opened.


Lu Qingjiu saw what was inside. It was a piece of white fragment, emitting a warm light. He reached out and picked up the fragment, feeling the light slowly spread to his whole body.


Different from the dazzling golden light shining at the top of his head, the light on his body was full of tolerance and gentleness, like a compassionate God and Buddha.


Lu Qingjiu was also infected by this aura and felt that his body became lighter and lighter, as if he was freed from the shackles of his body.


While in the distance, the Winter God, who was originally waiting quietly for the results, noticed the movement over here, and after he took a good look at the changes in Lu Qingjiu’s body, his face changed drastically as he called out, “Stop him for me!”


The Zhulongs beside him heard the command and rushed towards Lu Qingjiu. However, before they even got close to Lu Qingjiu, they were already stopped by a white light shield. This shield was not hard, but very soft. The Zhulongs were trapped in it, and it seemed as if they were stuck in a quagmire, unable to move at all, and naturally failed to stop Lu Qingjiu.


The Winter God’s originally indifferent expression began to collapse. He tried to stop Lu Qingjiu, but he couldn’t get close at all. It was only at this point, in the face of a truly formidable force, that he realized the gap between himself and the Ancient Gods. It was just a fragment, and yet he couldn’t even get close.


The white light began to rise slowly, flying towards the sky. Lu Qingjiu was wrapped in it, watching himself getting further and further away from the ground. Although he was surrounded by angry Zhulongs, his mood was extremely calm, like a sunken lake where even the wind could not make waves.


He didn’t know where he was going, but he knew that he was going where he was supposed to be, it was an ineffable and subtle feeling. It was the first time Lu Qingjiu had ever felt such a calm feeling in his soul. He was rising, rising, until he reached the top of the sky, level with the clouds.


Upon reaching the extreme point of the sky, the light from Lu Qingjiu’s body began to spread towards the surroundings, and everywhere he went, the golden light was covered by white light, and the sky once again returned to pure black. The non-human beings who tried to rush into the Human World from behind the golden light began to gradually dissipate after coming into contact with the white light, turning into a trace of dust in this world.


Lu Qingjiu saw the endless mountains and rivers, the endless ocean, the emerald green spring, the fiery red summer, the golden autumn, and the glittering white winter. He felt a wonderful change in his body, and all distracting thoughts disappeared and all of his consciousness seemed to merge with the world, he no longer felt pain, nor sadness anymore.


Was this the end? Lu Qingjiu thought blankly, he could no longer feel his body, as if only his soul still existed at this time, and his physical body had become a heavy bondage.


In front of heaven and earth, all desires became very insignificant. Lu Qingjiu heard someone calling him. He closed his eyes. Just when he was about to be completely immersed in this peaceful atmosphere, deep in his heart, he suddenly felt a name come up – Bai Yuehu.


Bai Yuehu. Lu Qingjiu thought of his beloved fake vixen. His heart ached so suddenly that he couldn’t help but shed a tear. But soon, the pain was soothed by the peaceful emotions. He closed his eyes and fell into a permanent restful sleep.


Lu Qingjiu didn’t know anything about what happened next.
