Chapter 242 Ji Qingqing
The secret realm of the Holy Land is in the far north, on Prison Island.
Deep in the vast desert sea, above a bottomless abyss, three Abyss Sky Locks thousands of miles long are connected to the imprisoned Qingtian Island.
Ji Qingqing sat in front of the thatched cottage, holding stones in her hands and gently carving messy patterns on the ground.
She frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy for some reason in recent days.
The family tried her and imprisoned her on this prison island. She was not worried about herself. After all, her uncle and aunt were taking care of her. Apart from being unable to practice and having to live in boredom, she didn't feel any discomfort.
Life here is quite hard, but she followed Li Tiangang on marches and fought in the army, and she also experienced many hard days, and has long since adapted.
"I said at the beginning that he would never come unless he breaks the four pillars. He should have listened..."
"After all, he always puts his family first..."
"I don't know how Hao'er is. It's been fifteen years. He should have grown very tall and strong. I don't know if he should follow me or his father. I heard that all sons follow their mother..."
Ji Qingqing's thoughts fell on her husband and children. These were the two most difficult relationships in her heart to let go of.
Thinking of the son she had not seen for fifteen years, her heart felt warm, but at the same time she felt a twinge of guilt and longing.
Her memory drifted to the Hundred Days Banquet fifteen years ago, the infant child with a chubby baby face, and the speeding imperial order.
If there hadn't been the invasion of Yanbei's demons, she and her husband and children should be living happily as a family now.
"All the heirs have suffered. I made you suffer. You shouldn't have been born in my belly..."
Ji Qingqing murmured in a low voice.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will stay here for thousands of years before she can see her husband and children again.
She knew how difficult it was to break through the Four Realms. Even though her husband was considered a genius with extraordinary qualifications, it still depended on chance and luck.
And based on the average lifespan of the Shenjiang Mansion, I'm afraid that by the time she leaves Qitian Island, they may be gone and die in battle.
"Hao'er entered the martial arts too late, and it is difficult to achieve anything. The splendor and wealth of the Divine General's Mansion may be able to save his life and live a stable life for a hundred years..."
Thinking of this, Ji Qingqing suddenly felt a little better. Although a hundred years was short, it was still a peaceful happiness.
While she was thinking wildly here and there, she suddenly heard a woman calling from the Yuan Tian Monument outside the island.
"Miss?"
As soon as Ji Qingqing came back to her senses, she saw a divine soul on the island hovering in the air. When she noticed the divine soul, the divine soul also saw her, and then quickly landed and disappeared.
Not long after, a figure flew up the mountain.
Ji Qingqing was startled when she saw that the old woman who came was the wet nurse who had taken care of her since she was a child. She suddenly lost her countenance and said: "Ning Ma, why are you here? Could it be that you..."
"Miss…"
The old woman is Ji Qingqing's mother's maid and Ji Qingqing's wet nurse. She has taken care of this young lady since she was a child, and they have a deep relationship with each other.
When she saw Ji Qingqing's head covered with dirt and her whole body dirty, Ning's mother said with shock and grief in her eyes:
"It's too miserable here, miss."
Ji Qingqing said anxiously: "Ning Ma, why are you here?"
"I came to visit you with the permission of the head of the family, and I bring you good news."
When Ning Ma thought about business, the grief in her heart quickly subsided. She took Ji Qingqing's hand and said, "Miss, you will be leaving soon. Your son is here to pick you up!"
"ah?"
Ji Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had not made a mistake and was escorted over. But when he heard what she said next, he was stunned and looked at her in astonishment:
"Ning Ma, what did you say?"
"I said, your son is here to pick you up!"
Ning's mother also laughed when she saw her shocked look. Now when the Ji family mentioned that young man, who could not praise him, and the other boy was the child of his own lady.
"Me, my son?"
Ji Qingqing suspected that she was really hallucinating, no, it was even a hallucination, and the Ning Ma in front of her was fake.
She retracted her hand and pinched herself, feeling a sudden pain.
"Ning Ma, are you kidding me?" Ji Qingqing couldn't help but say.
"I would come all the way hundreds of thousands of miles away to joke with you, miss. This is true."
Ning Ma smiled and said: "Your son Ji Leping escorted the heroic soul of Yunge War God back to the family a few days ago, and challenged many geniuses one after another, defeating Ji Xuanshen, the strongest genius of the younger generation, and became a Taoist seed. He has used As a Taoist, I forgive your sins!"
"Soon, you mother and son will be reunited!"
Hearing her joyful voice, Ji Qingqing was stunned, especially when she heard the word "Leping", her doubtful eyes suddenly seemed to tremble.
Her son was born noble and was named Li Hao by Emperor Yu!
But Leping is just her mother, with the mentality of a little girl and the tenderness of a mother.
"Ning Ma, you said my son's name is Ji Leping?"
Ji Qingqing said with a trembling voice.
Only she and her husband know this name.
She suddenly thought of a possibility. She left Yanbei, and her husband, in order to commemorate her, asked his son to take her surname, even giving up the emperor's given name.
Although this possibility is extremely low, the man who abided by the law and regarded discipline and law as an iron law broke the iron law for her and insisted on marrying her to the entire Li family. For this reason, he did not hesitate to contradict his parents, confront his uncle, and caused trouble. In the end, he was even willing to give up his identity as a Li family.
Nowadays, it is not impossible.
"Isn't he your son? Didn't you give him this name?"
Ning's mother was a little confused when she saw the shocked look on her face.
Ji Qingqing's body was shaking, her eyes were red, and tears were flowing down her face.
She didn't speak, just her thoughts surged, and her fingers quietly dug into her palms.
But soon, she thought of something and couldn't help but ask: "Wait, you said that my son has become a Taoist seed?"
"That's right, your son came to Ji's house alone. At such a young age, he really shocked everyone. He was defeated by Tianjiao one after another. Even Ji Xuanshen, who was born with holy bones, was defeated by him. I heard that he still used the three immortal realms to defeat him. Defeat is simply a myth. It has never happened before, and I’m afraid it will never happen again.”
When Ning Ma mentioned Li Hao, the smile on her face became fuller.
Ji Qingqing's face was full of shock and disbelief: "My son, is he so powerful?"
She couldn't imagine that the baby she held in her arms fifteen years ago could actually defeat the Ji family's genius now?
This was something she never dreamed of.
Moreover, during the battle in Yanbei, I heard that the child could not practice martial arts. He opened his meridians later, but he had missed the opportunity to practice martial arts. He lost foundation building and hemolysis, and was much later than other children. He could catch up with the geniuses of the states of Yu Dynasty. That's not bad, let alone comparable to the Ji family's genius.
"By the way, Ning Ma, you said he came alone?"
Ji Qingqing couldn't help but become nervous.
Ning Ma nodded: "That's right."
Ji Qingqing's face changed slightly, her husband didn't come? Could something have happened, or is there another reason?
Her heart was lifted, and she felt a little uneasy.
Seeing her nervous expression, Ning's mother smiled and said, "Miss, your son is coming to pick you up soon. Why don't you go change first, otherwise he will be a little sad to see his mother in such a mess."
Ji Qingqing came back to her senses and looked down at her hands. They were all dirty. Originally, she was reluctant to waste her strength, but now she was about to leave the island and escape, so there was no need to save anymore.
The power of the movement immediately shook out all the dirt and dust around him.
Her snow-white complexion was revealed, and her hair became clean and spread like black hair.
"It's not easy for the child to come all the way..."
Ji Qingqing thought of Ning's mother's words. It was just a few words to defeat all the Ji family's geniuses and fight for the Tao seed, but she knew how difficult it was.
With a feeling of pity in her heart, she bit her lip slightly, turned around and entered the thatched house. Soon, she changed into a bright light green cloud dress and walked out, like a fairy in a painting.
Seeing the brand-new Ji Qingqing, Ning's mother smiled and said, "Miss, you are still as beautiful as before, and you are somewhat similar to Master Leping." "Does he look like me?"
Ji Qingqing murmured, expectation appeared in her eyes, and her heart became a little tense. Pictures flashed in her mind, including the appearance of her bulging belly and the appearance of her swaddled child.
Fifteen years.
I thought mother and son would be separated from each other forever, but I never thought they would see each other again.
In addition to excitement and anticipation, she was also a little nervous and apprehensive.
If I have been so derelict in my duties as a mother, will my child still recognize me?
…
…
The secret realm is in the far north.
It was hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Holy Mountain, beyond Li Hao's imagination.
This entire Ji Family Holy Land is as vast as the seven or eight great states of the Great Yu Dynasty.
Li Hao and Ji Yunyue were on their way in the air. Along the way, they saw that the farther away from the holy mountain, the more desolate the ground became. Deserts alternated with lush green forests. There were various natural landscapes, but they were deserted.
This journey would take half a day based on Ji Yunyue's speed.
But Li Hao has to leave for fifteen years.
"This secret realm is left by the ancestor of my Ji family. Outside the secret realm, there is a maze set up by my Ji family. It is close to the boundary of my Ji family. Without guidance, even the demon king will get lost and cannot attack by force."
Ji Yunyue chatted with Li Hao on the road, and also let Li Hao know that the biggest difference between the ancient holy clan and other tribes lies in this secret realm.
Other tribes live in the wilderness and can only rely on the magic circle for protection. However, once their habitat is found by demons, no matter how strong the magic circle is, they will be broken by the demon sooner or later.
The secret realm is different. There are all kinds of mysteries. If you want to break through the secret realm, you have to spend a lot of effort. You can easily resist millions of demons.
Even in the Wen Dao realm, it takes a lot of effort to tear apart the secret realm.
Only the Saint realm can break through it easily, just like the Saint who gave Li Hao his mark.
Finally, after traveling hundreds of thousands of miles, the two finally arrived in front of the deserted sea.
The endless desert sea, with no end in sight.
There is a steep and lonely peak at a specific location, standing on the edge of the deserted sea, which is extremely conspicuous.
There were elders stationed above. Ji Yunyue went to express her intention, took out the family head's token, and borrowed a small artifact boat named Jiuhuangzhou.
The two of them took the Nine-Desolate Boat, crossed the Desolate Sea, and headed to another lonely cliff in the Desolate Sea.
There are twin flowers of detoxification.
"There won't be any monsters in this deserted sea, right?"
Li Hao stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the wild sea that occasionally blew slight waves. It was bottomless, not deep black, but faintly red.
Ji Yunyue smiled and said: "Of course not, even the magic weapons will rot inside. It is said that this deserted sea is the origin of this secret realm. It was the blood flowing from a certain demon saint killed by the ancestor of my Ji family, and it became like this. "
"The blood of a demon saint?"
Li Hao was slightly stunned, looking at the wild sea with thousands of miles of waves. If it were the blood of the demon saint, how big would the demon saint be?
"Is this really happening?"
"Perhaps the rumors have exaggerated it. After all, the deserted sea is tens of thousands of miles away. Even a demon king with a hundred-foot-long demon body is already considered majestic."
Ji Yunyue said.
The twin flowers are on the lonely cliff on the other side of the deserted sea, guarded by a demon king recovered by the Ji family. Once the twin flowers are picked, they will quickly wither and lose their effectiveness if not taken within half a day.
When Ji Yunyue took out the family master's token, the demon king recognized it and quickly picked out a bright red twin flower and handed it to the two of them.
After getting the twin flowers, the two of them didn't stop. They immediately turned around the Jiuhuang boat and hurried towards Qitian Island in the middle of the desert sea.
…
At the same time, when Li Hao and Ji Yunyue went to find twin flowers, Ji Yunqing accompanied Li Tiangang and flew over at high speed.
Ji Yunqing expressed his intention to the elders on Gufeng, borrowed another Nine-forged Divine Weapon-level boat, and the two of them crossed the deserted sea and rushed towards Qitian Island.
After crossing tens of thousands of miles of desolate sea, the high-suspended Qingtian Island appeared in front of them.
Three chains extend steeply from three directions of the abyss to the sky, tying and imprisoning the island.
"Without these three Abyss Sky Locks, the Saint Ancestor Law on Qi Tian Island would have caused the island to continue to rise until it reached the sky of the secret realm, where it would be scorched by the scorching sun and holy fire, and the people on it would be burned alive! "
Ji Yunqing said.
Li Tiangang's eyes narrowed. This place where the Ji family imprisons criminals has a sense of ingenuity and beauty. Is this the power of a saint?
At the other end of the Abyss Sky Lock, extending into the deserted sea, there are three rivet-like peaks inserted into the circular abyss at three places.
Thick chains stretched tautly down, interspersed on the peaks, covered with moss and showing traces of time.
"They should have found the twin flowers, up there."
Ji Yunqing said: "Let's go up directly."
He jumped onto the peak, waited for Li Tiangang to jump up, turned around and put away the Babel Boat, and then took the lead in stepping on the iron bridge-like chain and rushed towards the Prisoner of Heaven Island.
The chain is thousands of miles long, stretching across the sky, and is magnificent.
When Li Tiangang heard Ji Yunqing's words, he raised his head and glanced at the huge island above his head, with excitement in his eyes.
Will we be able to see their mother and son soon?
His heart was surging, and he quickly followed. When the two of them boarded the Yuan Tiansuo, in the sea on the other side, Li Hao and Ji Yunyue picked twin flowers and hurried over.
"Wait for me here, I will take the child Qingqing."
Ji Yunyue said to Li Hao that she did not want Li Hao to take risks and enter this dangerous forbidden area.
Li Hao shook his head: "You're already here, let's go together."
Seeing that Li Hao insisted on doing this, Ji Yunyue felt helpless. She raised her hand to summon a long whip-like chain and wrapped it around herself and Li Hao.
"Then let's go. Be careful of the desolate abyss below. There are special laws here. The Dao realm cannot control the air. Once you fall, you will be dead."
She ordered.
Li Hao nodded, and the two stepped onto the iron rope, climbing up quickly one after the other.
With their movements, this steep iron cable was like a sloping ladder to the sky. They jumped from time to time and traveled extremely fast.
After traveling for dozens of miles and reaching the chain above the desolate abyss, Li Hao felt a special force covering his body, which actually suppressed the breath in his body and made him unable to use it. Even the heaven and earth veins disappeared and were isolated.
No wonder it is said that there is no way to cross the abyss.
The suppression of laws here is stronger than that of Huanghai.
He lowered his head and looked a little more solemn, thinking of the second test of Tan Gong Academy, crossing the ten thousand feet of iron rope to practice courage.
His and Ji Yunyue's courage was obviously not comparable to that of the Tongli realm. Although their expressions were solemn, it only made them move more cautiously and without fear.
The chain swayed slightly, and strong winds howled from time to time in the sky, but Li Hao and Ji Yunyue climbed very steadily and were not affected at all.
On Qitian Island above, Ji Qingqing and Ning Ma came out of the mountain and stood waiting in front of the Yuantian Monument.
The two of them stared at each other from time to time. For a long time, Ning's mother suddenly said in surprise:
"I saw someone!"
I saw two small dots jumping and climbing on the thick chain, thousands of miles away.
