Mortal Cultivation: Beginning with a Monkey Falling From the Sky

Chapter 876 Dawn

The man in black robe laughed loudly, "Good? Evil? There is no absolute good or evil in this world. Ask yourself, are you really willing to be abandoned by the so-called righteous way? Don't you want to have strong power, protect The one you love?"

The figure of Ye Linglong appeared in Gu Jiuchen's mind. Her smile and her tears turned into sharp knives, piercing his heart. Yes, if he has great power, no one can hurt her, no one can question him….

"Jiuchen!"

The ancient immortal called his name anxiously, but at this moment, Gu Jiuchen seemed to be unable to hear any sound, and there was only endless darkness and longing in his eyes.

At this moment, a warm feeling suddenly came from his chest. Gu Jiuchen subconsciously reached into his arms and took out an exquisite and clear jade pendant. This jade pendant was a token of love given to him by Ye Linglong, and he kept it close to his heart.

"Linglong." Gu Jiuchen murmured to himself, the confused look in his eyes gradually fading away. He looked at the jade pendant in his hand and seemed to see Ye Linglong's expectant eyes and hear her gentle voice.

"Jiuchen, I believe you."

These words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly splitting the fog in Gu Jiuchen's heart. He took a deep breath and his eyes gradually became firm. He raised his head, looked directly at the man in black robe, and said coldly: "You are right, I do long for power, but I will never sell my soul for it! I, Gu Jiuchen, will stand upright even if I die. Under the sun!"

Seeing that the rebellion failed, the man in black robe snorted coldly and turned into a black mist and disappeared into the room.

Gu Jiuchen slumped on the ground helplessly, his clothes soaked with cold sweat. He looked at the ancient immortal, his eyes full of guilt and self-blame, "Master, I."

"Kid, you're fine."

The ancient immortal helped him up and said happily, "You have withstood the test, proving that your heart is still upright. I believe that one day, you will prove to everyone that you are a true hero."

Gu Jiuchen looked at the sky outside the window. The fish belly white had already appeared in the east, gradually diluting the heavy night. He stayed up all night, and the confusion and uncertainty in his heart were as chaotic as the sky. Can he get out of his inner shadow and regain the trust of Zhengdao? Where will the relationship between him and Ye Linglong go?

"Child, what are you thinking about?" The kind voice of the ancient immortal interrupted Gu Jiuchen's thoughts.

Gu Jiuchen came back to his senses, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Master, I'm fine, it's just..."

"You're just worried about your own situation and Linglong girl, right?"

The ancient immortal's eyes were as bright as a torch, as if he could see through his mind.

Gu Jiuchen remained silent, acquiescing.

The ancient immortal sighed and patted his shoulder, "Child, inner demons cannot be eliminated overnight. What you need is time and patience. I have prepared a set of mental techniques for you, called 'Qingxin Jue'. You Practicing diligently every day will surely strengthen your mind and resist external interference.”

Gu Jiuchen took the scroll handed by the ancient immortal and nodded solemnly, "Thank you, Master, I will work hard."

He knew that only by making himself stronger could he protect the people he wanted to protect and stand upright beside Ye Linglong.

In the next few days, Gu Jiuchen stayed behind closed doors and devoted himself to practicing the "Qingxin Jue". This mental method is extensive and profound and extremely difficult to practice, but Gu Jiuchen practiced it day and night like a man possessed. He always kept Ye Linglong's words in his heart, which was his motivation to move forward and his only hope to defeat his inner demons.

Ye Linglong has not been having an easy time these days. She has been uneasy since Gu Jiuchen left that day. She knew what Gu Jiuchen was going through at the moment, and she also understood that all she could do was to silently support him.

Finally, she couldn't hold back the longing in her heart and came to Gu Jiuchen's residence.

"Jiuchen, are you there?" Ye Linglong knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." Gu Jiuchen's calm voice came from inside the room.

Ye Linglong pushed the door open and saw Gu Jiuchen sitting cross-legged on the bed, exuding a tranquil and peaceful aura, completely different from a few days ago.

"Linglong, you are here."

Gu Jiuchen opened his eyes with a hint of surprise.

Ye Linglong walked up to him, her eyes full of concern, "Jiuchen, are you okay? You look much better."

Gu Jiuchen smiled slightly and held her hand, "I'm fine, I made you worry."

"As long as you're okay."

Ye Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes turned slightly red, "Jiuchen, I believe in you. No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

Gu Jiuchen's heart warmed, and he held her in his arms, feeling her warm body temperature. At this moment, he seemed to have found a harbor in his soul, and all his uneasiness and confusion disappeared.

Ye Linglong's words were like the warm sunshine of spring, melting the last bit of ice in Gu Jiuchen's heart. He hugged her tightly, feeling the preciousness of being lost and found. There is no need for words between the two, a look and a hug are worth a thousand words.

At this time, Xuanfeng was discussing Gu Jiuchen's matter with several righteous elders. Ever since he had an in-depth conversation with Gu Jiuchen that day, Xuanfeng felt deep sympathy for his plight and became more convinced that he was not a spy of the Demon Cult.

"Elders, Gu Jiuchen has made great contributions to the righteousness over the years. Now he is behind bars. We can't just sit idly by and ignore him!"

Xuanfeng said indignantly.

"But, Master, the rumors about his collusion with the Demon Cult are rampant, and we cannot ignore the opinions of other sects!" An elder looked embarrassed.

"Yes, there is no smoke without fire. Let's wait until the truth is found out before making a decision." Another elder also echoed.

Xuanfeng knew that it would be difficult to convince all the elders with his own strength. He needed more evidence to prove Gu Jiuchen's innocence.

At this time, Mingyue and Xuanyu came together. They brought various evidences they had collected, including secret letters from the Demon Cult, testimonies from eyewitnesses, etc. These evidences all pointed to one fact: Gu Jiuchen was wronged, and the real mastermind behind the scenes was someone else.

Xuanfeng looked at the evidence, and a big stone in his heart finally fell. He showed the evidence to the elders one by one, and the elders were moved after reading it.

"It seems that we have wronged Master Gu."

"Yes, he has been wronged."

Xuanfeng struck while the iron was hot and proposed to convene a righteous conference immediately to clear Gu Jiuchen's name. The elders agreed unanimously.

At the same time, the ancient immortal was also busy with Gu Jiuchen's affairs. He used his connections to read countless ancient books, and finally found a key clue about Gu Jiuchen's life in an ancient book.

"Could it be that he is..."

The ancient immortal looked at the records in the book, with a look of shock on his face.

The ancient immortal closed the ancient book, frowned, and his eyes flashed with complex light. The book records that a hundred years ago, there was a civil strife in the Demon Sect, and the cause of this civil strife was actually related to a mysterious treasure. This treasure has a powerful power, which is said to be able to change people's destiny and even bring people back to life.

"Could it be that Jiuchen's life is related to this treasure?"

The ancient immortal muttered to himself. He immediately used his connections to investigate the details of the civil strife in the Demon Cult a hundred years ago. After much investigation, he finally found an elder of the Demon Cult who had participated in the civil strife.

The elder was old and lived in seclusion in the mountains, not caring about worldly affairs. But when he heard the ancient immortal mention the civil strife and the treasure, his cloudy eyes suddenly burst into a gleam of light.

"You mean... you want to know about that thing?"

The old elder's voice trembled, as if the dusty memory was so heavy.

Under the patient questioning of the ancient immortal, the elder finally slowly told the truth of the year.
