The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 242 Ji Qingqing

In the far north of the holy land, on the Prisoner Sky Island.

Deep in the vast desolate sea, above a bottomless abyss, three Abyss Sky Chains thousands of miles long connected the imprisoned Prisoner Sky Island.

Ji Qingqing sat in front of the thatched hut, holding a stone in her hand, gently carving messy patterns on the ground.

She frowned slightly. For some reason, she had been feeling a little uneasy these days.

Her family tried her and imprisoned her on the Prison Island, but she was not worried about herself. After all, she had her uncle and aunt to take care of her. Apart from not being able to practice and having to spend her days in boredom, she did not feel any discomfort.

Life here is hard, but she has followed Li Tiangang in the army and fought in battles, and has experienced many hard times, so she has long since adapted to it.

"I told him not to come here until the Four Stands are broken. I think he will listen..."

"After all, he has always put his family first..."

"I don't know how Hao'er is doing. It's been fifteen years. He should be very tall and strong. I don't know if he looks like me or his father. I heard that sons usually look like their mothers..."

Ji Qingqing's thoughts fell on her husband and children, which were the two most difficult things in her heart to give up.

Thinking of her son whom she had not seen for fifteen years, her heart felt warm, but at the same time, she felt a piercing sense of guilt and longing.

Her memory drifted to the hundred-day banquet fifteen years ago, the chubby baby in the cradle, and the imperial order that came rushing over.

If Yanbei's demons hadn't invaded, she should be living a happy family life with her husband and children.

"All descendants of generals suffer. It is me who made you suffer. You should not have been born in my belly..."

Ji Qingqing murmured in a low voice.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will have to stay here for a thousand years before she can see her husband and children again.

She knew how difficult it was to break through the Four Stages of Establishment. Even though her husband was a genius with extraordinary talent, it still depended on opportunity and luck.

And considering the average lifespan of the Godly Generals, by the time she leaves the Prisoner Heaven Island, they may already be gone, having died on the battlefield.

"Hao'er entered the martial arts world too late, so it's hard for him to achieve anything. With the wealth and splendor of the Godly General's Mansion, perhaps it can save his life and allow him to live a peaceful hundred years..."

When Ji Qingqing thought of this, she suddenly felt better. Although a hundred years was very short, it was also a kind of peaceful happiness.

Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a woman's voice calling from the Yuantian Monument outside the island.

"Miss?"

As soon as Ji Qingqing came to her senses, she saw a soul suspended in the air above the island. When she noticed the soul, the soul also saw her, then quickly landed and disappeared.

Not long after, a figure flew up the mountain.

Ji Qingqing was startled when she saw the old woman who had taken care of her since she was a child. She immediately said in dismay:
"Mother Ning, why are you here? Could it be that you are also..."

"Miss…"

The old woman was a maid of Ji Qingqing's mother and also Ji Qingqing's wet nurse. She had taken care of this young lady since she was a child and they had a deep relationship with each other.

When she saw Ji Qingqing's hair and body covered in dirt, Ning's mother said with shock and grief in her eyes:
"It's too hard here, miss."

Ji Qingqing asked anxiously: "Mother Ning, why are you here?"

"I have the permission of the master of the house to come and visit you, and bring you some good news."

Mother Ning thought of the important matter, and the grief in her heart quickly subsided. She took Ji Qingqing's hand and said, "Miss, you will be able to leave soon. Your son is here to pick you up!"

"what?"

Ji Qingqing was slightly relieved to see that she was not escorted here for any crime, but was stunned when she heard her next words, and looked at her in astonishment:
"Mother Ning, what did you say?"

"I said, your son is here to pick you up!"

When Ning's mother saw her shocked expression, she also laughed. Now that the Ji family mentioned that young man, who could not help praising him? And the other party was the child of their own young lady.

"My son?"

Ji Qingqing suspected that she was really hallucinating, no, it was even a hallucination, and the Ning mother in front of her was fake.

She pulled her hand back and pinched herself, feeling a sudden pain.

"Mom Ning, you, you are not kidding me, right?" Ji Qingqing couldn't help but ask.

"I would travel hundreds of thousands of miles to come to you, young lady, am I kidding? This is true."

Mother Ning smiled and said, "Your son Ji Leping escorted the heroic spirit of the war god Yun Ge back to the family a few days ago, and then challenged many geniuses in succession, defeating the strongest genius of the younger generation, Ji Xuanshen, and became a Dao Seed. He has used his identity as a Dao Seed to forgive your sins!"

"Soon, you and your son will be reunited!"

Hearing her joyful voice, Ji Qingqing was stunned, especially when she heard the word "Leping", her puzzled eyes suddenly seemed to tremble.

Her son was born noble and was given a name by Emperor Yu, named Li Hao!

But Leping is just her mother, with the mentality of a young woman and the tenderness of a mother.

"Mother Ning, you said my son, his name is Ji Leping?"

Ji Qingqing said in a trembling voice.

Only she and her husband knew this name.

She suddenly thought of a possibility: after she left Yanbei, her husband changed their son's surname to hers in memory of her, and even abandoned the name given by the emperor.

Although the possibility is extremely low, the law-abiding man who regarded discipline and law as iron rules broke the iron rules for her and confronted the entire Li family to marry her. He did not hesitate to contradict his parents and confront his uncles and aunts, and in the end he was even willing to give up his identity in the Li family.

Now, it is not impossible.

"Isn't he your son? Didn't you give him this name?"

When Ning's mother saw her shocked expression, she became a little confused.

Ji Qingqing's body was shaking, her eyes were red, and tears were streaming down.

She didn't say anything, but her thoughts surged and her fingers quietly sank into her palms.

But soon, she thought of something and couldn't help asking, "Wait, you said my son became a Tao Seed?"

"That's right. Your son came to the Ji family alone. At such a young age, he really shocked everyone. He defeated many geniuses one after another. He even defeated Ji Xuanshen, who was born with holy bones. I heard that he defeated him with the third immortal realm. It's simply a myth. There has never been anyone like him before, and I'm afraid there won't be anyone like him in the future."

When Ning's mother mentioned Li Hao, the smile on her face became more intense.

Ji Qingqing was shocked and couldn't believe it: "My son, he is so powerful?"

She could hardly imagine that the baby in her arms fifteen years ago could actually defeat the Ji family's genius now?

This was something she would never dare to dream of.

Moreover, during the battle in Yanbei, it was heard that the child was unable to practice martial arts, and only later on his meridians were opened up. However, he had missed the opportunity to practice martial arts, and not only lost his foundation building and hemolysis, but was also much later than other children. It would be good enough for him to catch up with the geniuses from various states in the Dayu Divine Dynasty, let alone be comparable to the Ji family's geniuses.

"By the way, Mother Ning, you said he came alone?"

Ji Qingqing couldn't help but become nervous.

Mother Ning nodded: "That's right."

Ji Qingqing's face changed slightly. Her husband didn't come? Could it be that something happened, or was 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 will be here to pick you up soon. Why don't you go change first? Otherwise, he will be sad to see his mother in such a mess."

Ji Qingqing came back to her senses and looked down at her hands, which were both dirty. She was reluctant to waste her strength at first, but now that she was about to leave the island and escape, there was no need to save it.

The energy circulated, instantly shaking off all the dirt and dust around the body.

Her snow-white skin was revealed, and her hair became clean, flowing like black silk.

"It must have been difficult for that child to come all the way..."

Ji Qingqing thought of what Ning's mother said: Defeat all the Ji family's geniuses and fight for the Dao Seed. It only sounds like a few simple words, but she knows how difficult it is.

Feeling pity in her heart, she bit her lip slightly, turned and went into the thatched cottage, and soon changed into a glittering light green cloud dress and walked out, like a fairy in a painting.

Seeing the new Ji Qingqing, Ning's mother smiled and said, "Miss, you are still as beautiful as you were back then, and you look a bit like Master Leping." "Does he look like me?"

Ji Qingqing murmured, anticipation emerging in her eyes. Her heart tensed up a little, and pictures flashed through her mind, including her bulging belly and the baby in her arms.

Fifteen years.

I thought mother and son were separated forever, but I didn't expect to see them again.

In addition to excitement and anticipation, she also felt an inexplicable nervousness and uneasiness.

I have failed in my duty as a mother, will my child still recognize me?

……

……

Secret place in the far north.

It was hundreds of thousands of miles away from the holy mountain, which was beyond Li Hao's imagination.

The entire Ji family holy land is as vast as seven or eight large states in the Dayu Divine Dynasty.

Li Hao and Ji Yunyue were flying in the air and traveling. Along the way, they saw that the farther they were from the holy mountain, the more desolate the ground became. Deserts and lush green forests alternated with each other. There were various natural landscapes, but no one was living.

With Ji Yunyue's speed, it would take half a day to walk this distance.

But Li Hao had to go for fifteen years.

"This secret realm was left behind by the ancestor of my Ji family. Outside the secret realm is a maze secretly laid by my Ji family. If it is close to the territory of my Ji family, even the demon king will get lost without guidance and will not be able to attack by force."

Ji Yunyue chatted with Li Hao on the way and let Li Hao know that the biggest difference between the Ancient Holy Clan and other tribes lies in this secret realm.

Other tribes all live in the wilderness and can only rely on magic circles for protection. However, once their habitats are found by demons, no matter how powerful the magic circles are, they will be broken by the demons sooner or later.

The secret realm is different. It contains all kinds of mysteries. If you want to break into the secret realm, you will have to spend a lot of effort, but you can easily resist millions of demons.

Even for those who have reached the Wen Dao Realm, it takes a lot of effort to tear the secret realm apart.

Only the saint level can break through easily, just like the saint who bestowed the mark on Li Hao.

Finally, after traveling hundreds of thousands of miles, the two finally arrived at the desolate sea.

The boundless sea seems to have no end in sight.

At a specific location, there is a steep solitary peak, standing on the edge of the desolate sea, which is extremely conspicuous.

There was an elder stationed there, so Ji Yunyue went to explain his purpose, took out the family head's token, and borrowed a magical boat named Jiuhuangzhou.

The two of them boarded the Nine Desolate Boat, crossed the desolate sea, and headed to another isolated cliff in the desolate sea.

There are twin flowers that can detoxify.

"There won't be any monsters in this desolate sea, right?"

Li Hao stood at the stern, looking at the desolate sea with slight waves blowing from time to time. The sea was bottomless, not pitch black, but faintly red.

Ji Yunyue smiled and said, "Of course not. Even divine weapons will decay in there. Rumor has it that this desolate sea is the origin of this secret realm. It was flooded with blood from a demon saint killed by my Ji family's ancestor."

"The blood of a demon saint?"

Li Hao was slightly stunned, looking at the vast sea with waves for thousands of miles. If it was the blood of the Demon Saint, how big would the Demon Saint be?

"Is there really such a thing?"

"Maybe the rumors are exaggerated. After all, the desolate sea is tens of thousands of miles long. Even for a demon king, it is already considered majestic to have a body of a hundred feet long."

Ji Yunyue said.

The twin flowers are on a lonely cliff on the other side of the desolate sea, guarded by a demon king recaptured by the Ji family. Once the twin flowers are picked, they will quickly wither and lose their effectiveness if not consumed within half a day.

When Ji Yunyue took out the patriarch's token, the demon king identified it and readily picked a bright red twin flower and handed it to the two of them.

After getting the twin flowers, the two did not stop but immediately turned the Nine Desolations Boat around and hurried towards the Prisoner Sky Island above the center of the desolate sea.

……

At the same time, when Li Hao and Ji Yunyue went to look for the twin flowers, Ji Yunqing accompanied Li Tiangang and came at high speed.

Ji Yunqing explained his purpose to the elders on the solitary peak and borrowed another small boat of the Nine-cast Divine Weapon level. The two of them crossed the desolate sea and headed towards the Prisoner Sky Island.

After crossing tens of thousands of miles of desolate sea, the high-floating Prisoner Sky Island appeared before their eyes.

Three chains extended steeply from three directions of the abyss to the sky, tying down and imprisoning the Prison Sky Island.

“If there were no three Abyssal Sky Locks, the Holy Ancestor Law on Prisoner Sky Island would cause the island to continue to rise until it reaches the sky of the secret realm, where it would be roasted by the scorching holy fire of the sun, and the people on it would be burned to death!”

Ji Yunqing said.

Li Tiangang's eyes narrowed. This place where the Ji family imprisoned criminals had a magnificent feeling that seemed to surpass the work of nature. Was this the power of a saint?

The other end of the Abyss Sky Lock extends into the desolate sea, with three rivet-like peaks inserted in three places of the circular abyss.

The thick chains stretched tautly down, interspersed on the peaks, which were covered with moss and bore the marks of time.

"They should have found the twin flowers. They are up there."

Ji Yunqing said: "Let's go straight up."

He jumped onto the peak, waited for Li Tiangang to jump up, turned around to put away the Tongtian Boat, and then took the lead to step on the chain that was like an iron bridge and rushed towards the Prisoner Island.

The chain is thousands of miles long, stretching across the sky, and is magnificent.

When Li Tiangang heard Ji Yunqing's words, he looked up at the huge island above his head, and excitement appeared in his eyes.

Will we be able to see them mother and son soon?

His heart was pounding and he quickly followed. When the two of them climbed onto the Yuantian Lock, Li Hao and Ji Yunyue picked the twin flowers in the sea at the other end and hurried over.

"Wait here for me. I will take Qingqing home."

Ji Yunyue said to Li Hao that she didn't want Li Hao to take the risk and enter this dangerous forbidden area.

Li Hao shook his head: "Since we are here, let's go together."

Seeing that Li Hao insisted on doing so, Ji Yunyue was somewhat helpless. She raised her hand and summoned a long whip-like chain, wrapping it around herself and Li Hao.

"Then let's go. Be careful of the desolate abyss below. There are special rules here. Even a Dao Realm cultivator cannot fly in the air. If you fall, you will die."

She instructed.

Li Hao nodded, and the two of them stepped onto the iron chain, climbing up quickly one after the other.

With their body movements, this steep iron rope was like an inclined ladder to heaven. They jumped from time to time and moved at an extremely fast speed.

After walking for dozens of miles and arriving at the chain above the desolate abyss, Li Hao felt a special force covering his body, which suppressed the breath in his body and made it impossible for him to exert his power. Even his heaven and earth meridians disappeared and he was isolated.

No wonder it is said that the abyss cannot be crossed.

The suppression of the laws here is stronger than that of the desolate sea.

He glanced down, his expression slightly more serious, thinking of the second test of Tan Palace Academy, crossing a thousand-foot iron chain to test his courage.

It is obvious that the courage of him and Ji Yunyue is not comparable to that of those in the Tongli realm. Although their expressions are solemn, it only makes them move more cautiously and there is no fear.

The chains swayed slightly and strong winds blew from the sky from time to time, but Li Hao and Ji Yunyue climbed very steadily and were not affected at all.

On the Prison Heaven Island above, Ji Qingqing and Ning's mother came out of the mountain and stood in front of the Yuantian Monument waiting.

The two of them kept contemplating with their spirits. After a long while, Ning's mother suddenly said in surprise:

“I saw someone!”

I saw two small dots jumping and climbing faintly on the thick chain thousands of miles away.
