"Dad, look! There are immortals fighting in the sky!"
The child, who had been digging for earthworms in the field, suddenly looked up and pointed at the scene unfolding above.
The Tenant Farmer wiped the sweat from his brow, astonished by the battle occurring in Tian Zai. Nearby, hordes of beasts were gathering around Eastern Peak, and the Tenant Farmers of Chen Kingdom relied on those known as Immortal Masters to periodically drive away the monsters, ensuring a stable Yuezi.
Although it was his first time witnessing such a celestial battle, he wasn't too surprised. After all, he often heard travelers discussing various interesting tales from the cultivation world, so it wasn't entirely out of the ordinary for him.
For someone like him, it was another realm entirely. No matter what happened between those two worlds, whether they fought or if the sky fell down on Dong Lai, his life as an ordinary person would continue unchanged; it wouldn’t affect him at all.
"Will Da Bao become an immortal one day?"
The Tenant Farmer set down his hoe and playfully teased his son, making him laugh heartily.
What was happening in the East had nothing to do with Gu Ping in Tian Zai. At that moment, he was trapped with enemies closing in from both sides. In just a short hour, he had used three Light Speed Talismans but still couldn’t shake off his pursuers.
What puzzled him even more was that every time he felt close to being caught, a figure of light would appear to block either Cheng Zong or Jade Void Sect members. However, he hadn’t seen anyone from Moon River Sect lately; perhaps it was due to Zhang Liuyuan's betrayal of the Sect that left Eastern Peak without a leader. News must have spread back, and without a head to guide them, their reactions were inevitably slower.
The familiar scene of Yan Dong played out once more as Gu Ping squinted slightly, his gaze cold as he watched the two fighters before him.
Gu Ping had been pondering one question: should he unleash the Light Canon? What would happen if he did? But now, he suddenly realized he had fallen into a trap of his own making. Why shouldn’t he unleash the Light Canon?
The scenes unfolding before Yan Dong resembled a farce. It seemed that they feared Gu Ping would use the Light Canon against them; thus, they planned to expose their identities before everyone and force him to join them.
But could he really take the Light Canon and give it to the academy, or to the Jade Void Sect, or even to Cheng Zong? He could exchange it for many benefits, but what he sought was nothing more than a bright revenge.
Those remnants of light that Yan Dong had encountered—Gu Ping couldn't believe it was mere coincidence that they appeared near Eastern Peak. Surely, the moment he left the academy, everything had been arranged.
Was it Xiazhi?
Gu Ping pondered this but did not pause as he continued toward the Chen Kingdom. He aimed to retrieve the jade pendant that Mu Yu had left at the Chen Kingdom's outpost. Although he didn't know what the pendant looked like, Gu Ping felt that Xiazhi must have deemed it something very important; otherwise, it wouldn't have been entrusted to Wen Tian at the moment of death.
If the Light Canon fell into the wrong hands, would his life be guaranteed? I don't deny it. Would it?
What if light were given to light?
He felt helpless and alone, struggling against Liu Lao Jiu and a group of mortals, barely holding on. He had once again survived Yong Wan, but he vividly remembered Zhao Yourong's death, the chaos in the Great Jin Imperial Palace, the plea of Ancient Words.
Suddenly, he recalled the reason for his desperate flight three years ago. The Five Great Gates sought something—definitely not the Light Canon—but rather a complete eradication of light.
To cut grass, one must remove the roots. What about those three or four individuals holding the Light Canon?
Gu Ping suddenly realized why Minghong acted so brazenly. From the moment his identity was exposed, that realm became like a door that could no longer accommodate light, nor could it accommodate him.
The door would ensure his death; even living would be no different from being dead. Gu Ping would not forget his Heavenly Spirit Root of Light Attribute. Would that door allow someone who had come into contact with the Light Canon and was extremely talented in cultivation to exist?
The answer was certainly no; anyone associated with light sought death.
And what about light?
Watching Yan Dong and those he didn't know fighting desperately, Gu Ping felt a strange discomfort. Perhaps he didn't deny the necessity of their struggle, nor the importance of the Light Canon, but it still left him feeling uneasy.
To achieve their goals, the forces of light were forcing him to reveal his identity. After living comfortably for over a month, tomorrow would finally be the day. Just thinking about it made Gu Ping feel nauseous. The reasons behind the actions of the forces of light might be justified, but he couldn't deny that those who played with schemes all month long wouldn't understand what it meant to truly interact with others.
He decided to side with the forces of light for now and see how things unfolded. From what it looked like with Bu Luo and Yan Dong, securing Cangqing Mountain seemed to be a foregone conclusion.
Initially, he had used a Light Speed Talisman. Gu Ping glanced back at Yang Sheng, who was pursuing him. Yang Sheng had managed to shake off the Sunfire Sect cultivator who had been holding him back and was now hot on his heels.
With a forceful crush, Gu Ping shattered the first Light Speed Talisman and vanished once again from Yang Sheng's sight, leaving him grasping at air as he tried to catch up.
As he looked in the direction where Gu Ping had disappeared, Yang Sheng clenched his fists tightly. He knew that Yan Dong's actions were deliberate, part of the remnants of the forces of light, but there was nothing he could do. The Jade Void Sect was also powerless; time was short, and they couldn't compare to the well-prepared forces of light.
The order was clear: the forces of light must eradicate their enemies completely. Between Yan Dong and the Five Great Gates, they were like an unbreakable iron wall. Even if most remnants of the forces of light were hiding in Cangqing Mountain, what did it matter? The complexities involved were beyond what an ordinary cultivator like him could handle.
Moments later, Xiao Zhang caught up and noticed that Yang Sheng had stopped pursuing. With a hint of amusement, he asked, "Why aren't you chasing anymore? Did they get away?"
"Where are the people who intercepted me?"
