Avenue Stowaway

With a flash of light, Kong Fang and Qing Ling appeared in a completely enclosed space, which was surrounded by white mist.

As soon as he appeared here, Kong Fang was startled and stared at a Taoist platform in front of him. This was not the first time Kong Fang had seen this kind of Taoist platform. He had seen it in the Qingtian Tomb before, but this Taoist platform was bigger and the runes engraved on it became more complicated. Just looking at these runes, Kong Fang felt dizzy.

Kong Fang had no choice but to shift his gaze elsewhere. Suddenly, Kong Fang opened his mouth in surprise, "Purple... Thunder Dragon?" Kong Fang looked at a purple thunder dragon statue on the right, his face full of disbelief.

"Qingling, this is..." Kong Fang turned his head and looked at Qingling, who was standing beside him and looked like a little bird.

Qing Ling smiled and said, "When my brother was in danger near Huanggu Village, I felt something in my heart. Because my brother was near Wufeng Mountain, I could barely sense his situation. However, I was at a critical juncture in my cultivation at that time and could not stop, so I asked Honglian to control this purple thunder dragon to save my brother."

Kong Fang was stunned for a while, and couldn't help laughing. At the beginning, Kong Fang was still very puzzled. A purple thunder dragon suddenly appeared on Wufeng Mountain, easily killed Nie Feng's two brothers, but let them go, and even treated his injuries and gave him all the treasures he had taken.

Kong Fang had always been puzzled as to why the purple thunder dragon, which had nothing to do with him, was so special to him. Now, Kong Fang understood everything, it turned out that it was all because of Qing Ling.

Kong Fang felt a warm current flowing through his heart, and he felt very comfortable. This was the feeling of being cared for by others.

Kong Fang habitually wanted to touch Qing Ling's head, but he found that Qing Ling was not much shorter than him. His raised hand suddenly froze in mid-air.

Qing Ling felt amused, and then took the initiative to stretch her head over. Kong Fang patted him lightly, and couldn't help but feel amused.

"By the way, Qingling, why did you suddenly..." Kong Fang wanted to ask Qingling why she suddenly grew up, but he didn't know how to start.

Qing Ling had not grown up in the Qingtian Tomb for many years, but now, in just a few years, she had become a graceful young girl, and her cuteness had faded a little. She had become more beautiful, which had a great impact on Kong Fang.

Qing Ling smiled slyly in her heart, but pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Brother, don't you like the way I am now?"

"..." Kong Fang was speechless for a moment. To say that he didn't like her was a lie, but to say that he liked her could easily lead to ambiguity. In the past, Kong Fang always treated Qing Ling as a little sister who needed protection and didn't want her to get hurt. But now, Kong Fang didn't know how to face Qing Ling.

Seeing Kong Fang's embarrassment, Qing Ling burst out laughing, "I won't tease you anymore, brother." Qing Ling said with a smile, "My upbringing is different from that of ordinary people. I'm sure you've discovered this before."

Kong Fang nodded slightly. He had already discovered this after he met Qing Ling. After all, Qing Ling had been in the Qingtian Tomb for many years, but she still looked like a little girl. This was not normal. If Qing Ling was strong enough to stay young forever, that would be normal, but at that time, Qing Ling was not much stronger than Kong Fang.

"My growth is actually related to my realm. I used to cultivate very slowly, so I always looked like I would never grow up. But since Honglian took me away, I came here and have been cultivating here. This is a divine place, and the cultivation resources are naturally not comparable to Qingtian Tomb. My realm has been improving almost all the time here, so my growth rate has also accelerated."

Kong Fang suddenly nodded in understanding.

In fact, there are some things that Qing Ling did not say to Kong Fang. Although what Qing Ling just said is indeed a factor in her rapid growth, there is another factor that Qing Ling did not mention. That is - appearance is determined by the heart!

In the past many years in Qingtian Tomb, although Qing Ling had met many monks, the first person she met was Kong Fang, and Kong Fang was also really kind to Qing Ling. All this left an indelible impression in Qing Ling's heart. At the beginning, Qing Ling just relied on Kong Fang and felt very happy to be with him.

But after she separated from Kong Fang, Qing Ling couldn't stop missing Kong Fang. Gradually, dependence unconsciously turned into another kind of emotion. In order to be with Kong Fang, Qing Ling began to work hard to grow up. With the expectation in her heart and the special body, Qing Ling has grown into what she is now in just a few years.

However, Qing Ling could not tell Kong Fang about this factor.

After hearing Qing Ling's words, Kong Fang suddenly became curious. Qing Ling was able to perform Taoism on that strange mountain before, and it seemed very easy for him to kill Qianjizi.

As for the teleportation, Kong Fang was not surprised. When he saw the Taoist platform in front of him, he completely understood why Qing Ling didn't want others to come here. This Taoist platform was related to the entire forbidden area. If it was Kong Fang himself, he would not be willing to let strangers come here.

"Qing Ling, what realm are you in now?" Kong Fang asked curiously.

"He's definitely better than your brother, so you better work hard, brother." He chuckled.

Kong Fang's face was embarrassed. He knew that Qing Ling was stronger than him now, and much stronger.

"I have reached the Mingshen realm." Qing Ling said, then looked at Kong Fang and exclaimed: "But I am also very surprised that brother can break through the Hualing realm so quickly. Brother's cultivation speed is also amazing."

"Are you trying to comfort me?" Kong Fang smiled bitterly. "Compared to you, I'm not much faster than a turtle." In just a few years, Qing Ling has reached the Mingshen realm, while he is only in the initial stage of Hualing realm. Can this cultivation speed be called fast?

Qing Ling said solemnly, "Brother, you can't say that. I was able to reach the Mingshen realm so quickly because, firstly, there are a lot of cultivation resources prepared for me here. Also, I can only say that I am recovering my cultivation, not practicing."

Kong Fang was stunned.

Qing Ling explained: "Brother, you know that some memories often pop up in my mind, so you should understand that I actually have a past."

Kong Fang held Qing Ling's hand tightly. Qing Ling, whose expression had become somewhat serious, suddenly smiled brightly. "Hong Lian told me that I was a goddess. I will inherit the legacy of the god who created the Qingtian Divine Realm in the future. As for why I was so weak before, and why I appeared in the Qingtian Tomb, according to Hong Lian's guess, it may be that I built the Qingtian Tomb after I was injured, and then accumulated strength there to be reborn in Nirvana."

Kong Fang's heart was suddenly filled with shock. Although he had always guessed Qing Ling's identity and felt that Qing Ling's identity must be extraordinary, Kong Fang could never have imagined that Qing Ling would actually be a goddess and inherit the mantle of that god.

The Qingtian Tomb, which is coveted by the beings in the Butterfly Transformation Realm, might have been built after Qing Ling was injured. And the construction of such a huge place was just to accumulate strength and be reborn in Nirvana.

How high was Qing Ling's original realm? Kong Fang couldn't imagine it, but it must have been higher than the Butterfly Transformation Realm.

"Unfortunately, many memories are sealed. My cultivation level is not high enough, so I cannot unlock those seals." Qing Ling said helplessly.

Kong Fang couldn't help but persuade him, "Let it be, don't force it. Knowing the past memories may not be a good thing. Just like our master, a remnant soul has struggled to hold on to the present, all for revenge. This kind of memory only brings pain."

When Qing Ling mentioned Master Cangye, he suddenly laughed mysteriously, "Brother, I have prepared a gift for Master. Please bring it to Master for me when you go back next time."

"You're not going back with me?" Kong Fang was stunned.

Qing Ling shook her head slightly. She was very reluctant to part with Kong Fang, but some memories in her mind made her understand that she must improve her strength as soon as possible so that she would be able to face what would happen in the future.

Qing Ling didn't want to make Kong Fang worry, so she didn't tell Kong Fang about the memories in her mind.

Qing Ling flipped her hand, and a one-foot-long ink-black box was held in her hand.

"What is this?" Kong Fang looked at the ink-colored box in Qing Ling's hand in surprise. Kong Fang was an equipment refiner, but he couldn't tell what material the box was made of.

"This is the Soul Gathering Box, which can help Master gather and condense his spirit. Then, Master won't have to be trapped in that small room all the time, and can go outside the secret house and see the outside world."

As Qing Ling spoke, Kong Fang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and excitement appeared on his face.

Master Cangye has been trapped in that small room for a hundred thousand years. Kong Fang, who was unable to help his master, felt very guilty. Therefore, Kong Fang had been practicing hard, hoping to avenge his master as soon as possible and kill the three enemies who betrayed his master and left him with only a remnant soul.

Now, with this soul-gathering box, Master no longer has to be trapped in that small room.

"Qingling, you have helped the master a lot." Kong Fang was so excited that he forgot everything and could not help rubbing Qingling's head again.

Qing Ling's long hair fluttered slightly as Kong Fang rubbed it.

Seeing Kong Fang’s happy expression, Qing Ling also smiled happily.

"The resources in this sacred place are only suitable for me. They won't help my brother even if I give them to him. But I have also prepared other gifts for him." Qing Ling said again after Kong Fang's excitement had calmed down a little.

"I have a gift too?" Kong Fang was surprised.

Qing Ling waved her hand, and the ten keys that Kong Fang had attached to her arm flew into her hand. "Brother, take out the token I gave you."

Kong Fang took out the purple token from the heart of the world as he was told. Kong Fang was also curious and wondered what gift Qing Ling would give him.
