Chapter 591 - 590: Doesn’t Your Family Say Anything to You?

Chapter 591: Chapter 590: Doesn’t Your Family Say Anything to You?

"Differences in Realm, Cultivation, and disposition all change how one sees the world."

"Perhaps such people really do exist in this world," Master Zi Feng suddenly said.

If something is incomprehensible, there’s no point in trying to comprehend it.

It was better to just find a suitable reason and accept it.

It was like how he had come to terms with his own junior martial brother becoming a Demon Cultivator.

And just like how he could accept Mo Yan, who was a Demon Cultivator.

Master Mo Yan and the others were silent.

They waited out there for another day. Fewer and fewer people were emerging; not everyone would be Crossing the Tribulation, after all.

By dawn of the second day, the Dao Qi of the Celestial Book Tomb had vanished completely.

In other words, the Enlightenment must be over.

That meant it was time for people to come out.

————

On Celestial Book Mountain, Jiang Zuo put away the Enlightenment Stone.

It was all over.

He had also successfully advanced to 3.3.

His Cultivation was now on par with Su Qi’s, and surpassing her was just a matter of time.

’I should activate my Realm and completely dominate Su Qi,’ Jiang Zuo thought.

’Unfortunately, my Cultivation isn’t strong enough yet.’

’Besides, it’s better not to activate my Realm. I’m afraid if I do, I’ll be the one who ends up worse off.’

Shaking his head, Jiang Zuo stopped thinking about it. Now that he had the Enlightenment Stone, he just needed to make a trip back, and then he could go directly to the Holy Land to find Su Qi.

’I want to go see Su Qi.’

’The scent of freedom is nice, but I much prefer Su Qi’s scent.’

After the Enlightenment ended, many people woke up.

The same went for Mo Yan and her group. Only Liu Yiyi, who was holding a stone, was a little behind. It seemed she could have remained in her state of Enlightenment even longer.

But when it came to prolonged Enlightenment, no one could beat those in the Tier One Region.

What was even more incredible was that the stones they carried seemed to have stored a charge of Enlightenment. They might be able to use them to achieve Enlightenment again in the future.

This was their additional windfall.

This was a priceless windfall.

Of course, compared to the opportunity Jiang Zuo had provided, this was hardly worth mentioning.

After all, his had been a true, universal Enlightenment.

"Now that the Enlightenment is over, Boss Po Xiao probably isn’t at the summit anymore, right? Should we climb to the top and take a picture? We could post it and show off," Mo Yan said to Liuyue Xue and the others.

Chi Xue Child, once again biting into a popsicle, said, "I can forgive you for being brainless, but are you blind now, too? Didn’t you see that the Door Spirit is no longer here?"

That was right. The door was no longer a door.

They couldn’t reach the summit now even if they wanted to.

It wouldn’t matter if they called it ’daddy’ or even ’grandpa’ now.

Mo Yan looked dejected. She hadn’t even taken a picture yet, and she’d wanted to post a status update. It would have made countless Demon Cultivators burn with envy.

’This is the power of me, Demon Cultivator Mo Yan!’

’To do what others can’t.’

’But now I can’t go up. My edge is gone.’

So now they could only wait for Liu Yiyi to wake up and then head down.

With nothing better to do, Mo Yan looked at Chu Qing and asked, "I have a question I’ve been wanting to ask for a long time."

Chu Qing looked at Mo Yan without speaking, as if waiting for her question.

She usually answered any question she was asked.

Liuyue Xue and Chi Xue Child were also curious. What could Mo Yan possibly want to ask Chu Qing?

’Just don’t ask her about forging.’

’Asking about that tends to make Chu Qing act strangely.’

Mo Yan asked, "Why are you always in stockings, a scarf, and long sleeves that cover your hands?

You look like a walking anime girl. Doesn’t your mom say anything?

If I dress like a mess, my master chews me out. That’s why I keep my clothes and my hairstyle super simple.

Oh, right. Is it because there’s a hole in your head?"

Chi Xue Child chewed on his popsicle. He didn’t want to say anything more.

’Mo Yan clearly didn’t think this through. She can’t actually beat Chu Qing.’

’Don’t be fooled by how young Chu Qing looks. She’s a genius among geniuses. If she hadn’t been held back by forging, she’d be able to compete with Saintess Yue Lian and Witch Dan Xue in terms of Cultivation, for their age.’

But expecting Mo Yan to have that kind of self-awareness was impossible.

This was the same girl who, after Po Xiao was thought to have met with disaster, had loudly discussed finding a Clothes Tomb for him in the group chat. If she’d do that to him, she’d do it to anyone.

But perhaps Chu Qing’s mental state was particularly stable right now, so she didn’t hold it against Mo Yan.

She explained, "My mother does comment on it. She says it’s not an everyday outfit."

Chi Xue Child nodded. "It’s definitely not for everyday wear."

"So," Chu Qing said, "I wear it every day for my mom to see."

Chi Xue Child: "..."

Liuyue Xue: "..."

Mo Yan: "..."

————

After that, the people on Celestial Book Mountain all slowly started to retreat.

After all, it was impossible to ascend any further.

As time passed, the trials on the mountain seemed to be reverting to their original difficulty, which was more than they could handle.

If they didn’t retreat now, they might die without even knowing how.

As for the people at the top of the third trial, reaching the summit was impossible now that the Door Spirit was gone.

The only path was to retreat.

Not long after, Chen Yi and the others also woke up.

"So, after all that time in Enlightenment, what was the answer to the riddle?" Chen Yi asked.

Chu Qing shook his head. "I don’t know. There were too many guys. We couldn’t form a single character no matter how we arranged ourselves."

Xiao Xiaomo clapped Chen Yi on the shoulder. "Let’s go. Stop making a fool of yourself. Maybe you should try reading a book sometime."

Chen Yi: "..."

’So, what was the word?’

’We all gave up, and they didn’t even reveal the answer! What an unprofessional Door Spirit. This sucks.’

————

At this time, Zi Feng and the others also woke up.

They had entered long ago, but for the first time, they felt like they’d been openly tricked by their junior brother.

He had told them there would be an Enlightenment, that everything would be open to them.

But he had conveniently forgotten to mention they’d have to call someone ’daddy’.

It was like telling Chi Xue Child there was a place full of Fairies looking for Dao companions... but that you had to pay.

So, would he pay up or not?

Did he want to take a chance on finding love, or not?

It was probably something like that.

Lan Yue said to Zi Feng, "Eldest Brother, I’ve realized something."

Zi Feng frowned at Lan Yue. He had a feeling she wasn’t about to tell him good news.

Sure enough, Lan Yue said, "I think that wherever you send our dear junior brother, there’s always a huge windfall.

He received a considerable fortune at the Holy Land.

This time it’s even bigger—so big that even you, Eldest Brother, couldn’t resist coming.

You played yourself this time, Eldest Brother. Our junior brother is probably gloating in secret right now."

"..." Zi Feng stared at Lan Yue, his face devoid of expression. "Junior Sister, let’s not dwell on the past. We must learn to look to the future."

Lan Yue was unfazed. "Eldest Brother, it looks like we’ll have to say ’daddy’ on the way out, too. Are you excited, Eldest Brother?

Our junior brother would surely be delighted to hear you say ’daddy’."

Zi Feng’s mouth twitched. ’His junior sister was going for mutually assured destruction.’

Finally, Zi Feng said, "Junior Sister, I’ve noticed a pattern. Our junior brother got stronger after he went bald.

I imagine you want to get stronger too, don’t you, Junior Sister?"

Lan Yue: "..."

While they were busy bickering, they might have been misunderstanding Chi Xue Child.

Chi Xue Child had no intention of tricking them at first. The issue with the Door Spirit had been completely overshadowed by the massive event of the universal Enlightenment.
