Want to Ascend? Then Fall in Love

Chapter 6 – Number One In The Heavenly Dao, And The Number One Beauty.

—

The scene taking place in the banquet hall was also very spectacular!

If ordinary cultivators saw this, they would probably get so scared that their legs would go soft, their feet would go weak, and they’d be left open-mouthed and dumb-struck. 

After all, this was a battle between the six factions of the heavenly dao and the great generals of the Heart Domain, on the scale of a world war. 

In particular, the leaders of the six sects were fully ready for battle, equipped with godly-tier magical weapons, spiritual beasts, and rare treasures… pulling all these out for battle made for an extremely shocking sight.

The Heart Domain glanced at them, thinking: Alright ah, sure enough you guys came here for a fight, you even brought out everything your family has to offer!

The heavenly dao members thought: We will visit the grievances suffered by our Lord from you guys a hundred times, a thousand times over!

In an instant, the two sides were already completely engrossed in fighting each other. They were all enraged and seemed ready to kill each other.

This seemed like a farce, but in fact, the reasons for this war were all bullshit.

Right when it was getting exciting….

Bang!

The hall had disappeared in a flash!

Everyone stopped, as if they had been frozen. No matter what they were doing in the previous moment, they couldn’t move at this moment anyway.

They turned their heads together and saw two people standing outside the hall.

Clothes whiter than snow, and crimson robes as red as the sun. These two people stood there, fully exemplifying the most supreme strength. 

“What are you causing trouble for?” Shen Qingxian’s voice was very light, but it rang in the hearts of the heavenly dao members.

“Disgraceful.” Gu Jianshen’s low voice enveloped the minds of the Heart Domain people. 

After lecturing their disciples, the two leaders looked at each other and said in one voice, “I have allowed you to see a farce.”

The Heavenly Dao and the Heart Domain: “!!!”

Shen Qingxian raised his hand, and the great hall that Gu Jianshen had just destroyed was instantly restored to its original appearance. Even the injured people and ragged clothes from the fight were restored to their states from before, so perfect that it was as if the previous fight had never even taken place.

Gu Jianshen’s red eyes grew deeper. “Your Lordship’s magic is really exquisite.”

Shen Qingxian said modestly, “A small trick.”

It was “small”; he could restore dozens of cities to their previous state, but now, he had only restored one hall, so this really was a “small trick.”

Gu Jianshen snapped his fingers, and all the people who were frozen could now move again.

As soon as those two came back, the disciples (subordinates) all turned well-behaved again.

They weren’t actually well-behaved, but had been scared into it, all of their hearts now pounding in terror. 

Although they cursed out Shen White Lotus all day long, they had to admit that Shen White Lotus was strong… so fucking strong. Anyone who witnessed this restoration spell this time would know that it didn’t seem like a spell that should exist in this world at all. 

The heavenly dao people were also worried; they all knew how strong their own Lord was, but His Lordship had failed to undo the freezing spell that the demon emperor had cast on them….

There was a spell in this world that His Lordship couldn’t undo! Their blind worship of Shen Qingxian also allowed them to understand the horrifying strength of Gu Jianshen.

Shen Qingxian was still thinking about the matter of traveling together. After settling his disciples’ disciples and disciples’ disciples’ disciples, he looked at Gu Jianshen. “I just remembered that there was another wonderful place in the Astral Sea. Can I invite Your Majesty to travel together with me again?”

Gu Jianshen was quite cooperative to that suggestion.

When they left together, the melon eaters in the hall looked completely bewildered.

What happened? What is going on? Somebody explain!

Zeng Ziliang said darkly, “Follow them! His Lordship wants to use this opportunity to stab that maniac!”

Deceiving him into entering the Astral Sea by asking him to travel together was so that they would have a lot of opportunities to battle it out!

A smart person of the Heart Domain, Luan Ying, also chimed in. “Not good! Shen White Lotus must be plotting something, we must hurry up and follow them!”

A bunch of cloudy-brained drunkards followed their masters just like that, with the big holes in their brains yawning open. 

In fact, they might as well be drunk. After they came out, they really had nothing to do except get blinded.

This time, Shen Qingxian was very sincere about their trip to the Astral Sea. He gestured as he cast a spell, whereupon clear whistles from birds rang out in the sky, and a huge white crane, with wings that covered the sky and the sun, landed slowly.

The white of the wings was like the first snow of winter, and the scorching sun set off snow-like ripples on the crane’s feathers.

The disciples who had run all the way here were dumbfounded.

This was His Lordship’s celestial steed!

How could this despicable demonic cultivator be worthy of riding on His Lordship’s steed?!

Ye Zhan and the others were so distressed that they were about to suffocate.

Unfortunately, matters that would make them suffocate even more lay ahead of them…

Shen Qingxian stretched out his hand to Gu Jianshen. “Your Majesty, come.”

Snow white sleeves and slender fingers, with each finger looking like it was made of beautiful soft jade.

Gu Jianshen looked at it for a while before grasping his hand. It was smoother than he had expected, but the cool temperature inexplicably made people’s chests grow hot.

Shen Qingxian….

Number one in the heavenly dao, and the number one beauty. 

Gu Jianshen withdrew his gaze and covered up the red haze that had flashed through his eyes. 

Shen Qingxian led Gu Jianshen onto the celestial crane.

In fact, he had deliberately held Gu Jianshen’s hand mainly to verify something.

Thinking about it carefully, the difference between when they had traveled the Astral Sea and when they had traveled the Final Ashes wasn’t just that they had traveled further. 

Gu Jianshen had held his wrist when they had traveled the Final Ashes in order to bring him onto the Golden Dragon.

To prevent any mistakes, Shen Qingxian also grasped Gu Jianshen’s hand….

He had really guessed correctly; before they could even cover the whole Astral Sea, the “Third, travel with Gu Jianshen through the Astral Sea and Final Ashes” on the jade scroll had already turned light gray. 

It was completed!

It seemed that the condition wasn’t to travel all over, but to hold hands.

En, a garbage jade scroll. 

The jade scroll was so wronged by this, but it couldn’t say anything. 

Although they had completed the task, since Shen Qingxian had already invited him onto his mount, it wouldn’t be polite if they didn’t travel the entire Astral Sea after this…

So, Shen Qingxian simply entertained Gu Jianshen for a bit.

Gu Jianshen was easy to talk to, and the two of them weren’t bored. They took a trip around, talking and laughing, and when they came back, they could collect a whole floor of chins that had fallen to the ground. 

Heavenly Dao people: They didn’t—they didn’t start fighting?

Heart Domain people: There weren’t—there weren’t any traps?

Heavenly Dao and Heart Domain: They were really just traveling the Astral Sea together? And…and they even held hands for a bit?

No…no, this couldn’t be happening….they must still be drunk and lost in a Golden Millet Dream!

This way, the banquet ended successfully, and everyone departed very quietly.

Shen Qingxian was very satisfied. Two of the four tasks had been completed, and two more rungs had been added to the ladder. Although it was very far from being completed, as long as there was hope, there was no need to grow frantic. 

Patience was something that those who had lived for a long time all possessed. 

Shen Qingxian looked at the fourth line on the scroll….

This was actually very easy to do. As long as he sheathed his desire to kill Gu Jianshen, it would be completed, and another rung would be added to the ladder.

But he couldn’t sheathe it; he still very seriously wanted to kill him. 

Now that the tasks were related to Gu Jianshen, he couldn’t touch him, but once the tasks changed focus, he could reasonably finish him off. 

For everything the Heart Domain’s demon emperor had done, even dying a few hundred times wouldn’t be excessive. 

But it was really a pity… Those red eyes wouldn’t be as beautiful after they lost their vitality. 

Shen Qingxian reconsidered the idea and felt at ease again; after Gu Jianshen was dead, that golden dragon could change owners. 

It would be okay for him to secretly raise that gleaming gold dragon. 

Just after he thought through all that, he realized that the jade scroll was “trembling.”

Saying that it was trembling was a metaphor, it was just that its light was flashing frantically, as though it was a pitiful little bug that had seen a beast. 

Shen Qingxian’s expression was holy and pure, but brewing in his heart was a different scene— Sure enough, he’d better put in some effort on getting the two of them drunk together.

For example, get him drunk, and then when his guard is down….

The jade scroll flickered faster, and soon a few lines of words popped up.

“Fifth, praise Gu Jianshen’s eyes.”

“Addendum: Must be no less than three sentences.”

“Sixth, beg Gu Jianshen for the golden dragon.”

“Addendum: It can be held as joint property.”

Shen Qingxian: “…..”

The jade scroll’s light grew weaker and weaker, and a line of words flashed just before it was about to dim: “Seventh, go to the Secret Land of the Setting Moon within the next five days.”

The author has something to say:

Um…slightly spoiling things. 

Don’t think of these two as too pure… Although this piece must be sweet, neither of these two bosses are easy people to deal with.

Juurensha: Jade Scroll: Matchmaking is so hard…..

Noks: Okay, the jade scroll is officially the most pitiable thing in this story so far.
