Navigating a Maze with a Big Shot

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Minghe tasted it for a while, then suddenly laughed.

Her smile... is truly beautiful.

Qin Yi couldn't remember if this was the first time he had seen Minghe smile. Perhaps she had smiled slightly a few times before, but this kind of smile seemed to be the first time he had ever seen her smile like this.

It's like the moon breaking through the clouds, shining brightly with stars and moonlight, making even the flowers under the moon blush.

Qin Yi turned his gaze away.

"What if these two things conflict?" Minghe asked with a smile.

"Why the conflict?" Qin Yi said, "I don't believe there are no sword immortals roaming the world. Your Celestial Pivot Divine Palace Dao may not be the only standard."

"This is indeed the Dao, and I hope that you will get what you wish for." Minghe finally stopped talking.

Qin Yi felt a little strange. Throughout this "Dao Debate," Liusu hadn't said a word, which wasn't like her usual self. With her current soul power, she no longer needed to hide in front of Minghe He...

He dared not transmit his thoughts in front of Minghe, but Liusu guessed what he was thinking and said, "My path is unrestrained and confronts the true self. In Minghe's eyes, it is mostly demonic, and in your eyes, it is not a good thing either. Do you want to argue with each of you separately? I would rather use that time to beat you both up than waste it on empty talk."

Qin Yi: "..."

Liusu added, "It's good to have your own ideas. You are you, and I don't expect you to become a second Liusu, nor is it necessary. In fact, many things are just empty talk if you imagine them before the time comes. Nobody knows if you'll still think the same way when the time comes."

Qin Yi nodded.

When I was little, I wrote in an essay, "When I grow up, I want to be a scientist and a useful person to the people." Who knew that I would become a lazy bum in college?

Every night before bed, I tell myself I'll get up early to exercise the next day, but when I wake up the next day, I'm still glued to my phone repeating. "The Group Leader Crossdressing!"

Liusu laughed, "Maybe as you live longer and see more of the world, you'll become numb and lose all your current passion; or perhaps right now you see yourself as just an ordinary person with some power, and you should consider the common people, but once your power far surpasses the ordinary, you'll become arrogant. There are countless examples of this. What's the point of talking about it too much now?"

Qin Yi couldn't reply, but suddenly felt that Liusu had put on a show again.

Its level is indeed higher than that of Minghe.

Minghe is still exploring, while Liusu has already seen it all.

Qin Yi's conversation with Minghe Liusu was actually quite brief. They walked from the outer hall of the vast "Qingxu Palace" to the inner hall. The inner hall's doors were wide open, and Qin Yi immediately saw Humble Origins standing inside, groping around for something.

Seeing the two enter, Humble Origins smiled and asked, "Finished arguing?"

Qin Yi said, "You seem quite relaxed."

"I'm not taking it easy, I'm looking for my way," Humble Origins said. "Besides, I'm a demon, the one you're all trying to exorcise. What if you all get into a fight and decide to stew me? Who am I going to complain to? I'd better get out of here."

Qin Yi asked irritably, "So what did you find?"

Humble Origins blinked and reached out to press his hand on the Bagua diagram on the wall.

The ground cracked open, revealing a dark passage with stone steps leading down to an unknown depth.

Humble Origins ignored Qin Yi and hurried downstairs, saying, "I'm going to find Qingxu first, in case he recovers soon."

Qin Yi was reminded of the Dong Hua Underground Palace: "Will it collapse?"

Minghe shook his head and continued downwards, "The earth's veins here are extremely solid; they won't collapse."

The stone steps were extremely long, and as Qin Yi walked, he felt as if he had walked from the top of the mountain to the bottom. The most peculiar thing was that, although he was in the middle of the mountain and there was no light, it was not pitch black. There were faint phosphorescent lights all around, like streetlights.

Minghe's expression began to turn serious.

After walking for a while, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a place similar to Qin Yi's own backyard. In the center, there seemed to have been a Herb Garden, but now the soil was black, and traces of withered plants could still be vaguely seen, but there was no longer any sign of life.

The Humble Origins have long since disappeared.

Minghe stared at it for a long time, then muttered to himself, "This must be the cave abode of our ancestors. This is the Immortal Herb Garden that was developed behind the cave abode. The stone steps we just saw were a new path paved by later generations."

Qin Yi immediately thought of the character "Dao" on the mountainside. He suddenly realized something: the drought corpse that Liusu mentioned, which could cause the earth veins to appear in the sky, might be the original owner of the cave abode!

Qingxu was just a minor cultivator who accidentally wandered into this place and obtained some scraps... or rather, Qingxu himself was just a Corpse Puppet created by someone else, without even realizing it.

Passing through the Herb Garden in the backyard and entering a stone gate, you will see three paths branching off to the left, center, and right.

Just when Qin Yi thought they were about to enter an RPG maze, he saw Minghe close her eyes, her fingers forming a gesture of plucking a flower in front of her.

Spiritual Qi seemed to swirl around her, causing her Daoist robe to flutter lightly, her long hair to flow, and her delicate hands to make a gesture. Her long eyelashes drooped down on her jade-like face, making her appear serene and otherworldly, truly like Fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

Even the spellcasting is so beautiful.

Qin Yi felt that his understanding had also changed somewhat.

When I first met Minghe, I thought it was such a waste that such a beautiful woman was Daoist Nun.

Now I feel that this kind of Daoist robe is the most suitable for her, and it would be a pity if she didn't become Daoist Nun.

Soon, I saw the Spiritual Qi form points of light, twinkling like stars in front of me, and finally converging into an arrow shape, pointing straight ahead.

Minghe opened his eyes. "Since Qingxu is devouring flesh and blood to revive, he is casting a spell. I am just sensing where the Spiritual Qi in this place is actively flowing, and that is where Qingxu is."

After saying that, it quickly flew away.

Qin Yi didn't say anything and silently followed. Only now did he truly realize that Minghe was already a powerful figure in the Soaring Cloud Realm, having achieved the Golden Elixir stage. Under normal circumstances, he would probably be considered a founding ancestor of a sect. His various Technique Method were far beyond what a nobody like himself could compare to, so there was nothing for him to worry about.

It seems there's really nothing for me to do this time. I'm just here to ride her coattails and watch the show unfold. I'll just watch her crush everything in her path. If she manages to find any treasures, maybe I can get a little something, like a possible Yin Fire Seed? Given our friendship, they should be able to give it to me...

While lost in thought, Minghe suddenly stopped.

"Damn it..." Lost in thought, Qin Yi suddenly lost his footing and bumped into her back.

He didn't feel the warmth and fragrance of her body, but rather a thin Protective Barrier gently kept him away from Minghe's graceful silhouette. Yet, even at a mere inch's distance, he could already feel the warmth of her body and smell her delicate fragrance.

Minghe turned and glanced at him with a half-smile.

Qin Yi quickly steadied himself. "It wasn't on purpose!"

"You have to take watching a play seriously." Minghe didn't say anything to him, but simply took out a sword from her ring.

Qin Yi almost thought he was going to be killed, and before he could even crouch down to protect himself, Minghe shouted, "Go!"

The sword transformed into a dazzling light, passing through the Long Corridor in front of it.

Several strange noises were heard, and traces of what appeared to be an array on the ground flickered in and out of focus before falling silent again.

Minghe recalled the sword and casually pointed it.

Suddenly, a flash of electricity appeared out of nowhere, and the passage, which was only illuminated by phosphorescence, was instantly filled with current. Qin Yi clearly saw a zombie crawling up in the corner, but it was chopped into charred remains before it could even extend its hand.

Qin Yi: "..."

As the lightning subsided, the stone gate at the far end was shattered. Inside, Qingxu Daoist sat cross-legged. His zombie-like appearance had recovered considerably, and the lividity on his face had disappeared. However, his expression showed no improvement; instead, it was filled with terror.

I thought I was dealing with the lightning of the Electric Mouse, but what the hell is this Celestial Pivot Divine Lightning of the Cloud Soaring level?!

Almost simultaneously, Humble Origins had already ventured deeper along different paths, and before him stood a heavy stone gate, its surface faintly glowing with a blood-red light, and pulsed slightly, as if it were alive.

But this door, which clearly exudes immense power, has a small mouse hole in its lower right corner.

Humble Origins hesitated for a moment as he looked at the rat hole, then gritted his teeth, took out his electric ball, and bent down to insert it.

Just then, a faint, seductive laugh drifted through the air, "Little mouse, you're being naughty..."

The Humble Origins's expression changed drastically.
