Chapter 11 The Carnival of Wisdom Shocks the Immortal Ship
Since the last deduction, Jingyuan has given up on training Qingque.
He finally understood; Qingque was simply a woman of immense strength. She couldn't avoid being General Luofu, otherwise chaos would ensue, but Su Chang was the one in charge of daily affairs.
So, Su Chang, who had just been dragged out of the Yunqi Army's training ground, stood in the study of the Shence Mansion with a bewildered look on her face.
In just one morning, Jing Yuan experienced several warning signs of "myocardial infarction"—fortunately, as an immortal being, even if his heart stopped beating for a moment, it would not be a big deal.
The feeling was like a professor who had painstakingly studied for hundreds of years trying to explain calculus to a child who couldn't even read properly, requiring tutoring starting from the second grade of elementary school.
Su Chang's military and political literacy was probably limited to the level of "knowing that the general is very powerful and the Cloud Cavalry is very handsome".
When Su Chang took her leave with a notebook filled with scribbles, Yan Qing saw for the first time on his general's face an expression that was almost "questioning life".
Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and calm yourself down.
"Yanqing," he turned to the boy beside him, his voice tinged with unusual weariness, "the remnants of the reproductive body have been sealed away by the Marshal himself, and the Immortal Ship will never again take that path... It seems that such a tragic future can be avoided."
But the Extinction Lords still roam the galaxies, and calamity may well descend in other forms.
He paused, his gaze deep: "If one day, neither Fu Taibu nor I are in our positions... the heavy burden of Luofu will eventually need to be taken over by someone."
Yanqing scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed:
Yanqing understood the general's good intentions.
However... according to the regulations of the Immortal Ship, I am still some time away from the age required to obtain an adult certificate.
Discussing this matter at this time is not only controversial, but also legally inappropriate.
Jing Yuan was silent for a moment, then smiled self-deprecatingly: "I was too impatient."
He looked out the window, his voice softening: "Ever since I saw myself transformed into an insect form within the formation... even I've lost my composure."
Then, he turned around, his gaze sorrowful, and asked the jade mirror that was always shining, "Master, was it worth turning Luofu into such a miserable state?"
"Huh?" Jingliu was chatting with Yiling Baiheng on Yuzhao and was a little confused when he was interrupted.
After a moment's thought, she replied, "The scene in the painting is exactly the same as the destruction of my hometown, Cangcheng. I can hardly imagine that I personally caused such a disaster."
But whether we use Luofu as a petri dish to cultivate the Insect King, or turn you into an insect, neither is our original intention.
"Bai Lu is dead, leaving behind not even the Wisdom Egg. She is also suspected of joining a rebellion, which will likely be called the Second Moon-Drinking Rebellion."
Do you really think these are all acceptable costs?
Jingliu lowered his head, unusually avoiding Jingyuan's gaze: "I wouldn't... No, what wouldn't someone who has fallen into demonic darkness do?"
Then, Jingliu was momentarily dazed. Under Yanqing's wary gaze, he snorted coldly and turned his head away.
"Weren't you the general of Luofu? What were you doing back then?"
Or have you let your guard down because I've fallen into demonic ways? If I had seen you fall into demonic ways, I would have killed you long ago!
Anyway, I'm going to go play with Bai Heng. You can worry about these things yourself.
His tone was clearly immature and naive, and also showed some obvious guilt.
Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Having received the Mengyin Body Secret Technique, the demonic yin energy had been reborn wherever it was.
Under normal circumstances, those who accept the Meng Yin Body Secret Technique will be able to transform into eggs within four hundred years at most. Jing Liu estimates that he can last a little longer, but if we are optimistic, he will just be able to accompany Bai Lu through this lifetime.
Speaking of rebirth, things aren't going so well for Qingque.
She was entrusted with an important task, and she was ordered to issue a preliminary announcement of the "Dragon Transformation Method" to all sectors of society. At this moment, she was surrounded by reporters who had come to hear the news.
Meanwhile, Fu Xuan, the diviner who should have been sitting on the sidelines, was said to be "unwell and asked to go home to recuperate."
"No!" Qingque pushed aside several microphones shoved in her face and spotted a familiar pink hair tip through the gaps in the crowd.
That was the top-notch intuition for the "appearance of the Grand Diviner" honed through years of slacking off and playing cards!
Your Excellency, you can't do this!
Fu Xuan held a giant cup of extra-rich Immortal's Happy Tea, his divine eye gleaming as he watched with great interest as Qing Que frantically scrambled through the crowd.
Nervous, flustered, yet forced to feign composure.
You, you just love to slack off too much and are unwilling to take on more responsibility.
That's really... hilarious.
She took a sip of her sweet tea, feeling cheerful. Keep training hard, Qingque.
If this press conference doesn't last from noon until late at night, she'll lose.
Sipping a giant cup of Immortal's Joyful Tea and using my Dharma Eye to sense Qingque's nervousness is truly interesting, joyful, and incredibly fun!
This is what a vacation should be like.
--
At the press conference, questions came one after another.
A human reporter was the first to raise the issue: "Lord Qingque! The secret technique requires the blood of the enlightened one as a catalyst. Doesn't that... violate human ethics?"
Qingque steadied herself and answered loudly, "All the blood used comes from the voluntary donations of the Wisdom-holding volunteers."
Because it involves priority custody of newborns, blood donors must undergo strict eligibility screening.
This process is open and transparent, so there's no need for any concerns.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a journalist with a spiritual connection excitedly chimed in, "More than just blood! We'd be willing to donate our bone marrow if it could help create a new baby!"
Another reporter then posed a pointed question: "The Dragon Transformation Method seems to be a 'method for immortality'."
Offering immortality privately is a serious crime on the Immortal Ship. Does this act violate the Alliance's laws and regulations?
The scene fell silent instantly.
Countless eyes were focused on Qingque.
She smiled slightly, her tone composed: "The Immortal Ship Oath clearly states: assisting Chiming in rediscovering the path of reproduction is the foundation of the alliance. This law was created precisely for this purpose—how can it be considered a violation of the law?"
"But this is clearly a method of 'reincarnation,' not true reproduction..." Before the reporter could finish speaking, he was punched to the ground by a reporter next to him with angry eyes.
"I think you're just here to cause trouble! You can't stand to see our Vidyadhara clan have a new member, can you?!"
The scene became chaotic for a moment. After the guards led the two wrestling men away, the questioning continued.
The next reporter, filled with anticipation, asked, "When will this wonderful teaching be fully implemented?"
Qingque said solemnly, "This wondrous method concerns countless lives, so we must not act rashly. We need to observe one or two groups of volunteers first."
The reporter looked disappointed upon hearing this—the lifespan of those who possess the wisdom to live is long, and "one or two batches" could mean a wait of at least a thousand years.
"However, once they have safely passed through each age stage and it is confirmed that there are no potential future problems, the scope will be gradually expanded."
The specific number of participants and timetable are yet to be determined by the alliance.
Upon hearing this, the reporter's face lit up with joy again; that's how the Vidyadharas are.
If you suggest opening a window, they'll grumble and complain, but if you suggest tearing down the roof, they'll think opening a window is a good thing.
The final question turned to gossip: "I've heard that the alchemist who created this method, Bu Yue Ting, bears a striking resemblance to you. Do you two... have some special connection?"
Qingque's smile remained unchanged, deftly deflecting the question: "The immortal ship is vast, and it is not surprising to occasionally find those who look similar."
This question is unrelated to today's topic. Please feel free to ask any related questions from now on.
Outside Luofu, a fleet docked...
Thank you to Lian (I don't know how to type the swastika) for the gift.
This is the first time I've received such a large donation, but I don't have much content left. To ensure quality, I'll add another half-update tomorrow.
