Chapter 1273: Long Since Destined
Qi Xuansu’s corpse ignited in multicolored, glass-like flames right before Qi Jiaoyao’s eyes, and his body grew increasingly faint until it vanished completely.
Only the Longevity Stone Heart remained where it was.
Qi Jiaoyao collapsed onto the ground, silent and speechless.
......
Qi Xuansu did not know how long he had slept before finally awakening. The feeling of weakness and impending death had completely vanished, and he was once again the same Zaohua-stage Heavenly Being.
He sat up abruptly, as though jolted awake from a nightmare. Then, he looked around, realizing that he was no longer at Elder Yao’s palace, nor at the Lingshan Paradise. He was back in Tongzhen Palace.
What on earth just happened?! Qi Xuansu thought to himself.
He had died in confusion, triggered the fallback mechanism of the Guizang Lantern, and then was pulled back. Moreover, he had only understood just a fragment of the secrets behind the Longevity Stone Heart.
Qi Xuansu looked around for the Guizang Lantern, clearly remembering that he had placed it on the jade platform.
Could I have absentmindedly left it behind in Lingshan Paradise? How will I explain this to the Heavenly Preceptor?!
Qi Xuansu hurried to his feet and began searching for the lantern.
Before long, he found the Guizang Lantern lying on the ground on the other side of the jade platform, along with Little Yin, who was fast asleep hugging the lantern.
