Chapter 1560 - 448: The Death of Liu Qing, Cloud Palace’s Succession, Lu Changsheng’s Promise
Liu Qing slowly spoke.
Upon hearing the words, Lu Changsheng furrowed his brow slightly.
Cloud Palace?
That is a Chaos Treasure, rare and hard to come by.
Even many Chaos Lives do not possess a Chaos Treasure.
This shows its value.
A Chaos Treasure is more precious than an entire Chaos World.
The value of the entire Heavenly Realm cannot compare to the Cloud Palace on Liu Qing.
Yet now Liu Qing wants to hand the Cloud Palace to Lu Changsheng?
This was very unexpected for Lu Changsheng, and also very puzzling.
"Daoist Liu Qing, the Cloud Palace is a powerful Chaos Treasure. Such a treasure, why not give it to your own descendants or clan members? With the Cloud Palace’s strong defenses, it can even withstand the attacks of Chaos Lives. Even if your descendants have weaker cultivation, they should have no problem protecting themselves."
Lu Changsheng asked.
Liu Qing shook her head, sighed deeply, and said, "They cannot keep the Cloud Palace. In fact, if I truly gave it to them, it would only bring harm to them, and possibly result in the annihilation of the clan..."
"Only by becoming the prodigy of the Heavenly Light Saint Sect can one protect the Cloud Palace."
"Moreover, I believe in Daoist Lu. Daoist Lu is even an unparalleled prodigy and will definitely become a Chaos Life in the future. Given Daoist Lu’s nature, even if my bloodline descendants cannot produce a prodigy, you will surely watch over them to some extent. With a Chaos Life’s protection, my descendants will at least not face extermination."
"This is the last thing I can do for them..."
Lu Changsheng understood.
Liu Qing was born in a Chaos World where Chaos Lives exist.
But Chaos Lives are not her kin.
They have no direct relationship with her.
She was once a disciple of the Heavenly Light Saint Sect and even a prodigy among them.
Even Chaos Lives looked at her with new eyes.
But now it was different.
If she dies, what would her clan have?
The Cloud Palace would become a hot potato.
Of course, she could give it to a Chaos Life.
But she couldn’t trust the Chaos Lives.
This is why she gives it to Lu Changsheng.
Not only can she trust Lu Changsheng, but also because Lu Changsheng is an unparalleled prodigy.
Even if Lu Changsheng becomes a Chaos Life, he can still progress far among them, and by then, he may not even care for the Cloud Palace.
If Liu Qing’s descendants had an outstanding genius, Lu Changsheng might keep his promise and return the Cloud Palace to her descendants.
Liu Qing doesn’t dare to guarantee that other Chaos Lives would return the Cloud Palace to her descendants.
Many thoughts flashed across Lu Changsheng’s mind.
He was also analyzing the pros and cons.
Soon, Lu Changsheng came to a conclusion.
Liu Qing’s condition was of great benefit to him.
A future promise in exchange for a Chaos Treasure.
It’s a tremendous opportunity!
Even if he has to return it to Liu Qing’s descendants, it would be many years from now.
By then, Lu Changsheng would have become a Chaos Life, and returning it to her descendants wouldn’t matter.
A Chaos Treasure is too precious, and he would be foolish not to take it.
"Brother Lu agrees to Daoist Liu’s terms."
Lu Changsheng agreed.
Immediately, a faint smile appeared on Liu Qing’s face.
"Buzz."
Soon, a small, exquisite palace radiating magnificent, divine, and majestic aura appeared in Liu Qing’s hand.
This is the Cloud Palace!
Liu Qing stared at the Cloud Palace in her hand with complex emotions in her eyes, seemingly reluctant.
"I obtained the Cloud Palace by chance in a perilous place. It can withstand the attacks of Chaos Lives. Over the years, I don’t know how many dangers I’ve avoided thanks to the Cloud Palace. Only then could I grow smoothly to the Ninth Rank and even have hopes of impacting a Chaos Life."
"Unfortunately, in the end, it was all for naught. As strong as the Cloud Palace is, it is still an external object. It cannot help with one’s Cultivation, nor assist in advancing to a Chaos Life."
"One’s own Cultivation is fundamental!"
"The Cloud Palace can only be seen as a protective artifact. Daoist Lu, do not misplace your priorities..."
After saying this, Liu Qing flicked her hand, tossing the Cloud Palace to Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng reached out to hold the Cloud Palace.
"I have already erased my imprint from the Cloud Palace. Daoist Lu, you should quickly refine the Cloud Palace here."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
He didn’t stand on ceremony and began refining the Cloud Palace in front of Liu Qing.
Liu Qing had erased her imprint from the Cloud Palace, making it an ownerless object.
However, even if the Cloud Palace was ownerless, refining a Chaos Treasure still required time.
Days and days passed.
One year, three years, five years, eight years, ten years...
In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.
"Swoosh."
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.
"It’s done!"
It took Lu Changsheng a full ten years to imprint his mark on the Cloud Palace and completely refine it.
After refining the Cloud Palace, Lu Changsheng found that he had underestimated this Chaos Treasure.
Indeed it was a Chaos Treasure.
Far more powerful than he had imagined!
"In the future, my Liu Family depends on Daoist Lu..."
Liu Qing said slowly.
She had endured for ten years.
Now, she couldn’t hold on any longer.
Lu Changsheng saw Liu Qing’s body beginning to disintegrate.
And at an extremely fast pace, not even her recovery power could keep up with the rate of disintegration.
"Hiss."
In just a few breaths, Liu Qing’s body completely disintegrated.
"Sister Liu Qing..."
Xing Ying’s face showed a trace of sadness.
She had a very good relationship with Liu Qing.
Unfortunately, Liu Qing was now gone.
Lu Changsheng did not speak, he merely remained silent.
On the path of Cultivation, he had witnessed too many similar events.
Liu Qing was not the only one.
Many cultivators were like this.
