Preparing for Soaring Clouds

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

Qin Yi didn't care what they were thinking. He went to retrieve the complete "Great Joy Paradise Sutra" and flew back to Qinqi Peak.

Today's round, though somewhat comical, actually showcased the various fanatical paths of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, which happened to connect with his knowledge as a transmigrator, achieving a unique effect. Unfortunately, Qin Yi himself was a poor student and couldn't contribute much in this area, only able to offer some basic concepts; the rest was up to them to develop.

Their actual skill level was arguably higher than Qin Yi's; Qin Yi simply provided them with concepts that differed from their way of thinking. Once these concepts opened up a path, it was like planting a seed. What kind of flower would bloom and what kind of fruit would ripen was no longer under Qin Yi's control.

Perhaps in a few hundred years, perhaps in a few thousand years, it will surely shine with another kind of light in this world where Immortal Dao exists—it will certainly not reach the realm of Earthly science, but rather various alternative Immortal Dao immortality. Qin Yi is very much looking forward to it, wondering if he will be able to witness it in his lifetime.

If one could live forever, that would be great.

Qin Yi suddenly realized that another meaning of immortality is that one can have unlimited time to witness infinite development, thus diminishing the concept of "the lifespan" that countless people resent.

Leaving aside matters that far ahead, the immediate priority is to subdue this newly established War Hall. To put it bluntly, it means gathering the remnants of the original Medicine, Divination, Schemes, Calculations into a new force, with Qin Yi at its head. Only with this foundation can one effectively organize and coordinate military operations; otherwise, who will listen to a commander without real power?

If the leader of a war guild is ambitious and determined to make a name for himself, then at this point, with internal conflict resolved, the preparations should focus on conducting war drills.

Qin Yi had already thought it through. During the last competition in the Earth Spirit Secret Realm, wasn't it said that some things were almost ready to be harvested? He could use this as an excuse to organize a rehearsal for the Battle Hall, bring in Yin Yizhong, Gongshu Lu, and their group, and do this for a few rounds. Then the Battle Hall's presence would be clearly established.

But Qin Yi felt a bit lazy. He had neither ambition nor a desire for power. He didn't feel any pleasure when others knelt before the sect leader; he just felt that he had fulfilled a duty.

He was a member of the Celestial Palace and had a certain sense of belonging. Given the changes within the Celestial Palace and the Palace Master's arrangement, he took on the responsibility of building the Battle Hall out of a sense of duty; it doesn't mean he was going to become a workaholic from then on...

Let's take it slow, there's no rush. Just treat it like a normal job. Outside of work, going home and hugging my Senior Sister is more important...

"I planted a seed, and it has finally grown into fruit. Today is a great day..." Qin Yi hummed a little tune as he walked, Liusu transformed into a Little Ghost and floated beside him, giving him a blank look as if he were an idiot.

Qin Yi remembered the QQ emoticons again, stopped singing and said, "It's dangerous for you to float out like this."

"It's nothing. What Qian Yuan? It's just a wisp of divine thought suppressing the palace, not a real divine thought roaming the immortal palace."

"My Senior Sister sisters will see..."

"Even if she saw it and explained that it was the spirit of the Wolf Tooth Club, what would she do?"

"Hmm... it seems like nothing will happen." Qin Yi scratched his head. "It's just that you're getting more and more careless these days."

"I don't like keeping my feelings bottled up inside."

Qin Yi remained silent.

I completely understand; I can empathize with you.

"Come out if you want." He subconsciously reached out to rub the ghost's little head.

The ghost transformed into a hedgehog, its feathers bristling.

Qin Yi withdrew his hand, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Liusu said, "The things you mentioned to those people today were quite interesting... It's strange, is there really no cultivation of immortality in your world? It clearly feels like there is."

"Perhaps the Great Dao is similar, but that world lacks Spiritual Qi, so you can't cultivate anything there." Qin Yi said, "But it's hard to say. Anyway, legends of gods and Buddhas have existed since ancient times. Who knows if they were transferred to some star due to some changes... just like this place is just one of them."

Liusu turned her head, looked him over for a long time, and said seriously, "Your current state of mind is quite interesting, it shows signs of openness. Today, you and your Senior Sister can Zither and Painting together to calm your State of Mind and make it more stable. This will be beneficial to your cultivation. Tonight, go back to your cave abode and try flying. But don't get too carried away with your lovey-dovey stuff, or you'll get too distracted and dilute your will. That will only do you harm."

Qin Yi didn't respond; there was no point in explaining. He wasn't the kind of person who was obsessed with trivial matters...

I like her, but I'm not obsessed with her. I have many female friends now, but I've only actually had a relationship with Qing Jun.

Upon arriving at Qinqi Peak, Liusu stopped swaggering around outside and returned to her hometown.

Upon entering the room, Ju Yunxiu was lying on a soft couch reading a book, while Qing Cha was drawing with her toes tucked in.

Upon seeing Qin Yi approach, Qing Cha blushed and ran away, Ju Yunxiu remained calm, engrossed in her book without looking up. "How is the battle hall?"

Qin Yi sat down beside her and said with a smile, "People who Medicine, Divination, Schemes, Calculations, and strategy are actually more interesting than I imagined. I knew too little about them before. If it weren't for Heavenly Mystery Child's faction causing trouble, I might have been poached by them if we had gotten to know each other better."

Ju Yunxiu didn't even lift her eyelids. "Perhaps you're somewhat interested in those miscellaneous skills, but unfortunately you're more interested in me."

Qin Yi chuckled.

Ju Yunxiu laughed, finally putting down her book and turning to say, "I see you seem rather enlightened today. It seems your interactions with them have indeed been beneficial?"

"Yes..." Qin Yi said, "I feel that coming to the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace was truly the Will of Heaven. There is no place more suitable for me. If I had been asked to sit in meditation for a hundred years like other cultivators, with the sun and moon as my companions and the wind and dew as my food, I probably wouldn't have been able to endure it. But the various interesting things in the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace suddenly gave the word 'cultivation' a new meaning."

Ju Yunxiu pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "To be honest, I'm not as interested in the Immortal Palace as you are. Perhaps one day you can take over the reins of this peak for me, and I can go out Cloud Wandering to see the world's wonders."

Qin Yi asked in surprise, "You actually want to leave?"

Ju Yunxiu smiled and said, "Sometimes I am tempted to go out and see the different places described in the book, to see the new characters that have recently appeared in the book, and to hear the wonderful new music that has emerged in the Mortal World. However, I cannot leave for the time being... I still have my responsibilities in the Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting Sect."

Qin Yi said, "Then don't expect to leave me behind and stay here. If we're going to leave, we'll leave together. Everything else, no matter how interesting, is just embellishment. Without you, the Immortal Palace has no soul."

Ju Yunxiu said lazily, "I was just saying it casually. I wouldn't feel comfortable letting you actually oversee things; you're too weak."

"..." Qin Yi's old face flushed slightly. "I intend to go into seclusion to cultivate the Cloud Ascension Technique. Senior Sister, do you have any guidance?"

"Your cultivation is unique, and there's not much I can guide you with... The resources I gave you for your cultivation before, including the aids for Tengyun, are sufficient... But are you aware of the things Tengyun will face?"

"I know. Tengyun is also at the Core Formation, on the path to the Golden Elixir Core. This is a lifespan contest with the heavens, and he will face the Small Tribulation."

"Everyone faces a different tribulation, and I can't predict what form you'll take." Ju Yunxiu thought for a moment and handed over a book, "This is the experience of soaring through the clouds by generations of the Immortal Palace. Take it back and study it carefully. The last page of the book is blank. This is Law Treasure. When you feel that the tribulation is insurmountable, you can use this to temporarily seal the process and reopen it when you are better prepared. There will be no aftereffects."

Qin Yi was taken aback. This thing was definitely a rare treasure. With it, the success rate of soaring through the clouds could increase many times over.

The fact that her Senior Sister just casually took it out shows that she had been considering Qin Yi's breakthrough to the Cloud Soaring Realm for a long time and it was definitely not something she thought of on a whim.

If coming to the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace was the most suitable Will of Heaven for him, then meeting this Senior Sister was the greatest fortune within that Will of Heaven.
