Book 7: Chapter 17: The Late Honeymoon
After that, Bai Qiuran stayed in the Underworld for a while, dealing with the dozens of ghosts who wanted to reincarnate.
However, all the humans on the earth were still asleep in his picture. At this time, they could only reincarnate into other races.
Therefore, although Bai Qiuran temporarily plunged them into the Human Path to demonstrate the operation, he temporarily made them fall asleep in it, waiting for the human race to begin to multiply in the future.
This also made him realize that he should wake up the humans in the picture. Let them continue to sleep like this would not be a solution.
So, after handling the affairs of the Underworld, Bai Qiuran took Jiang Lan, Bai Li, and the others back to the world of the living. Before leaving, Bai Li and his lover said goodbye, but he also understood that this was not the time for them to reunite.
Therefore, under the witness of Bai Qiuran, the couple swore by the Styx that Bai Li should practice hard, and only after changing the world, did he come to reunite with his wife, and Bai Li’s wife must become a Ghost Immortal and develop the Underworld.
By the way, Bai Qiuran also left a copy of the follow-up cultivation method of immortals in the Underworld.
After this was done, everyone returned to the world of the living. Bai Li continued to cultivate, while Bai Qiuran began to think about Jiang Lan’s physical problems.
When he was making a deal with Heaven, it once created a standard human body out of thin air. The formation process was seen in his eyes. At that time, he reacted and used his inhuman memory to secretly record that process.
However, it still needed deliberation and experimentation. Bai Qiuran himself dared not directly use Jiang Lan’s body as a test object. He didn’t want to see Jiang Lan in the Underworld.
So, within three days after returning, Bai Qiuran returned to the cave behind the waterfall again.
This time, while studying the structure of the human body, he also transformed the picture into a small world like a refuge, which could support the life of the human race.
…
A month later, Bai Qiuran broke through the waterfall cave with something wrapped in white cloth.
It happened to be daytime, so his behavior was also seen by Jiang Lan, Bai Li, and the maids living in the valley. Everyone was curious, so they followed Bai Qiuran to the outside of his cabin.
Bai Qiuran didn’t stop them either. Seeing that there were too many people, he simply put the thing wrapped in white cloth on a bench outside the house.
After he tore off the white cloth, everyone saw that inside it, there was a naked female human body.
She had a straight face and a good figure. Jiang Lan looked at the woman and then at Bai Qiuran, her mind was a little confused.
Why was a naked woman coming out of the closed cave? Is this the legendary Heaven’s Lost Property?
“Qiu Ran, who is this girl?”
Hearing Jiang Lan’s question, Bai Qiuran pointed to this female body proudly and replied:
“This is my creation. Her appearance was shaped by me based on the female appearance that I looked at in a picture album before. It’s not bad.”
Because there were two men, Bai Li and Bai Qiuran, Jiang Lan asked the maid to bring a blanket to cover the private parts of the female body, and then she asked:
“You mean, this is the human being you created?”
While asking, Jiang Lan was shocked in her heart. The creation of advanced intelligent creatures like humans was something that the ancient emperors of the gods could do several generations ago, and they also needed the help of Heaven to do that. Now, there was no God of Creation among the gods. Even the Eastern Emperor Taiyi could no longer create humans or gods out of thin air.
“It’s only half done. I didn’t create her soul. This is just a dead thing that can carry the soul.”
Bai Qiuran shook his head.
“I created it to help you study the Sea of Qi.”
He looked at the woman lying on the bench with his eyes closed, and smiled at Jiang Lan:
“You can be saved.”
Jiang Lan shook her head.
“You sound like I’m dying.”
But seeing Bai Qiuran very happy, Jiang Lan couldn’t help but laugh.
“I have another thing to show you.”
Bai Qiuran took out a crystal clear sword from the storage bag, with a faintly thundering sword inside, and a golden long stick wrapped in sparks.
He gave the long sword to Bai Li and the long stick to the monkey.
“Cultivate hard. This is the reward of your teacher and your first magic weapon.”
Bai Qiuran encouraged one person and one monkey:
“The blade of the sword was enclosed by the sky thunder that came from Heaven that day, which can call upon the thunder to attack the enemy. The long stick carries my Inextinguishable Flame, and the flame can be attached to the swing.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Bai Li and the monkey bowed to Bai Qiuran.
Bai Qiuran thought about it again and took out a bottle of crystal-clear, thunderous liquid from his storage bag. He hesitated for a moment, then walked aside and put the bottle of liquid on the ground.
A moment after Bai Qiuran left, a huge black centipede crawled out of the jungle. The shape of this centipede has undergone tremendous changes. Its arthropod and carapace have begun to fall off, and it was obviously in a kind of metamorphosis. In the middle, it came to the side of the bottle, crawled around the bottle, then plunged its head into the bottle, drank the crystal clear liquid, and crawled back into the jungle.
And Bai Qiuran, who used his Soul Awareness to see all of this, withdrew his spiritual sense, and then said to Bai Li, the monkey, and the maids:
“In the next time, I will accompany Little Lan. You should focus on practicing. Don’t run around. If you get out of this valley, you may be seen and discovered by Tian Ting and Di Shi.”
Everyone nodded, and Bai Li asked:
“Master, where are you and your wife going?”
“Do you have opinions?”
Bai Qiuran rolled his eyes at him and said with what Wise Immortal taught him:
“Can’t we have a late honeymoon?”
Jiang Lan’s face was reddened when she heard this, while Bai Li waved his hands anxiously.
“No, no, no! I don’t have any opinion.”
So, after successfully opening up a sea of Qi for Jiang Lan, Bai Qiuran took her out of the valley and began to walk the earth.
He did this for two purposes besides spending a little time left he had in this era to accompany Jiang Lan.
One was to find allies for Bai Li and the human race as much as possible in the future. The picture he used to store the Heavenly Place’s traitors had only been filled less than half now.
The second was to attract the attention of Heavenly Place for Bai Li. In the eyes of Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Bai Li was just an ant, only Bai Qiuran was the primary goal of the Emperor.
When he and Jiang Lan appeared in various parts of the world, Tian Ting and Di Shi, and even the entire Heavenly Place’s attention would be attracted by them, so that Bai Li and the human race would gain time for cultivation.
During this period, he had transformed the picture into a small world similar to a human refuge, and the human race inside had also been awakened by him, and he had taught the follow-up cultivation method in the name of Bai Li.
And Bai Li was now about to break through the Physique Integration stage. With his talent, maybe within a few years, he would reach the Heavenly Tribulating stage.
Heaven’s Tribulation was a hurdle that Bai Li couldn’t circumvent anyway, and Bai Qiuran had no intention of letting Heaven take back this test.
Although it may not be possible to completely eliminate corruption, at least Heaven’s Tribulation could be regarded as a test for immortals. People who could survive Heaven’s Tribulation were at least tough enough, both in mind and body.
As the first human to cross Heaven’s Tribulation, Bai Li’s degree of tribulation could be imagined. Although Bai Qiuran didn’t think his disciple could not survive the tribulation, the turmoil at that time would reveal his location.
At that time, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi would definitely bring his army to suppress them, and Bai Qiuran would definitely go to protect his student, and then it would be the time for a decisive battle.
