Kapitel 204: Chen Xia Died in the Azure Sky Sword Sea
In the winter season, Qiu Yi came to the pavilion to look for Chen Xia.
She said she wanted to become his disciple.
Chen Xia sized her up and asked curiously, "I know quite a few things. What exactly do you want to learn? Supernatural powers and spells, elixir refining, or chess?"
Qiu Yi was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then quickly replied, "Any of them except chess."
She rarely stuttered so little. It was obvious that not learning chess was really important to her.
Chen Xia shook his head. "No, you must learn chess. My superb chess skills can't be allowed to decline."
Qiu Yi had no choice. She slightly furrowed her brows, her cool expression tinged with distress as she stammered, "T - then I'll learn everything."
"Good," Chen Xia nodded. He directly picked up the chessboard from behind. "Then I'll test your aptitude first."
That's what he said, but in fact, it was just making the opening move of advancing a knight.
For some reason, Chen Xia could never make this opening knight move work well. Perhaps this was the fun of having poor chess skills.
In the first month, Qiu Yi didn't learn anything. She spent all her time playing chess with Chen Xia.
Qiu Yi hadn't had much contact with chess. In the first month, she could play on par with Chen Xia, who was a poor chess player.
But later, Chen Xia felt something was wrong.
He couldn't beat Qiu Yi anymore.
Indeed, there was a reason why he had been a poor chess player for thousands of years.
In the second month, Qiu Yi had already gained the upper hand and could steadily defeat Chen Xia.
By the third month, Qiu Yi could completely outplay Chen Xia, leaving him with almost no pieces.
The opening move of advancing a knight was enjoyable, but it was only enjoyable for a short while. Qiu Yi was enjoying the whole game.
So, in the fourth month, Chen Xia decided to stop playing chess and started to truly teach Qiu Yi some supernatural powers and spells.
The first spell he taught was the Mysterious and Profound Dao Chapters.
As soon as Qiu Yi read the first part, she was immediately drawn in. She thought this supernatural power of condensing Dao chapters was truly wonderful and delved into it with great dedication.
Chen Xia sat beside her, occasionally offering some guidance, helping Qiu Yi clear up her doubts.
This supernatural power of the Mysterious and Profound Dao Chapters actually didn't require much guidance. It relied more on one's comprehension and talent.
The person with the highest talent Chen Xia had seen was Huang Qingyue from the small world back then. She could condense Dao chapters at an extremely fast speed.
Later, she went to the Immortal World with the immortals from the upper realm.
Thousands of years had passed, and he didn't know how she was doing now.
Chen Xia felt a bit nostalgic, but there was nothing he could do but reminisce. Now, seeing Qiu Yi cultivate so assiduously, he couldn't help but think of someone else when looking at her.
This reminded him of the little girl he met in Weixi Town.
Xu Zhen.
It seemed that talented people were always attracted to his side.
Chen Xia slightly shook his head, thinking that he must go to the Immortal World someday.
It wasn't necessarily about reuniting and recognizing each other, but at least he had to find her.
As for whether their relationship would be the same as before, Chen Xia wasn't sure.
After all, people always change over time.
Chen Xia let out a sigh, put aside his unrealistic emotions, and continued to guide Qiu Yi.
Qiu Yi had good talent. Her speed of carving Dao chapters was also extremely fast. In just a year or two, she had inscribed a rather complex Dao chapter within her body.
During this period, she would also play chess with Chen Xia out of boredom. The two seemed evenly matched, but in fact, Qiu Yi was deliberately holding back, allowing Chen Xia to capture more pieces.
Chen Xia noticed this but didn't say anything.
After all, it is said in books that disciples are not necessarily inferior to their masters, nor are masters necessarily more virtuous than their disciples.
It was normal not to be able to win at chess. As long as one could win in a fight, that was fine.
The days in Qingzhou were peaceful. Chen Xia planned to wait for a sunny and pleasant day.
Then it would be time to leave via the Lanhai Sea.
He was a visitor. He shouldn't stay for too long.
————
Fifteen hundred years after the collapse of the Celestial Sword Sea.
Various forces rose rapidly in the star field. First, the seven great sects took the lead.
Due to the death of its sect leader and the previous wear and tear of the sect - protecting great formation, Yutai Mountain ranked last among the seven great sects.
However, even so, with a Sky - Mending Realm cultivator in charge, Yutai Mountain was still considered an upper - tier power in the star field, and not an existence that ordinary sect cultivators dared to provoke.
These were the initially rising sects, but they were not the most prosperous.
The most prosperous ones were not the sects, but the various ethnic groups.
Ethnic groups with candidates for the Great Emperor position were almost at the peak of their power. Once the candidate for the Great Emperor grew to the Sky - Mending Realm, they could lead the ethnic group to become a giant in the star field.
And the candidate for the Great Emperor who became a Saint first would hold the sole right to speak in this star field.
Becoming a Great Emperor was even more remarkable. It would almost be like the next Celestial Sword Sea.
It was worth mentioning that most of these candidates for the Great Emperor were from the Celestial Sword Sea, with only a small number from other prosperous sects.
For example, some of the top - ranked candidates for the Great Emperor were former elders of the Celestial Sword Sea.
Next were formal disciples of the Celestial Sword Sea like Jia Bai, who ranked among the top ten.
After that were Didu and Qiuli. Surprisingly, these two had joined a prosperous ethnic group and now held the position of Holy Sons within the group, enjoying a lofty status.
Li Yang and Liu Qing also found a good sect to join. This sect was not large, but precisely because of this, they treated Li Yang with great respect and offered extremely high courtesy, hoping to rely on Li Yang to make the sect rise.
In this way, it seemed that all the original Fourteen Prodigies of the Celestial Sword Sea were developing well.
But soon, someone noticed something was amiss.
Chen Xia was nowhere to be found.
Or rather, there was no news about Chen Xia.
This name, which had resounded throughout the Celestial Sword Sea in the past, now had not the slightest bit of news. No one had even heard a word about him.
With his cultivation at the Sea - Overturning Realm, his position as the Fourth Law Elder, and his status as one of the Fourteen Prodigies of the Celestial Sword Sea,
it was impossible for there to be no news after he left.
Some people guessed that Chen Xia had gone into hiding after leaving, which was why no news had spread.
But this was quickly refuted.
It was said that this was the beginning of a great era. The spiritual energy and opportunities were being fed back to everyone in the star field. Those with outstanding talents would strive to seize them. It was impossible for someone to hide.
This made sense.
So, soon a second speculation was put forward, which was recognized by most cultivators.
Chen Xia had died in the Celestial Sword Sea.
This was a sigh - worthy piece of news.
The Fourteen Prodigies of the Celestial Sword Sea were ultimately one short. The star field had lost a candidate for the Great Emperor, and a future overlord figure.
When Didu and Qiuli learned this news, although they had been beaten up by Chen Xia many times, they didn't feel happy. Instead, they were rather gloomy.
After all, they were all candidates for the Great Emperor of the same generation.
Didu and Qiuli built a simple cenotaph in memory of Chen Xia, feeling quite emotional.
"I originally planned to have a fight with you after reaching the Sky - Mending Realm. Although I would probably get beaten, I never thought I wouldn't even get the chance," Didu said gloomily.
Qiuli also shook his head and said, "Among the Fourteen Prodigies of the Celestial Sword Sea, you were the only one who didn't leave. I really admired you. I just never thought you were so bold. You didn't run even at the last moment."
The three candidates for the Great Emperor of the same generation, as they journeyed through life, were ultimately one short.
At a high place in the stars.
Li Yang stood with her hands behind her back, her heroic brows slightly relaxed as she looked at the distant starry sky.
She stood there for a long time.
When the starry sky dimmed, she turned around. Her usually firm tone softened as she said softly, "You don't need to return the ten thousand spirit stones."
In the far - off starry sky.
Amid the desolate and empty dead star systems, the figure sitting on the throne of tens of millions of souls stretched out his hand, pulling in the entire dead star system and absorbing it continuously.
It didn't matter if the main body wasn't there. An avatar could still make the opponent feel pain.
