Land of Disorder
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
"Because the people there have a completely different mindset, the people from the north couldn't adapt at all. They might not even know why they died, even a notorious villain fell victim to it. So, using the rift valley as a natural barrier to divide the north and south, both sides actively migrated, gradually becoming clearly separated and no longer interacting," Cheng Cheng said. "Actually, the area there is much smaller than north of the rift valley, and the population is also smaller."
"What would happen if there were too many chaotic idiots?" Qin Yi wiped away his cold sweat. "No wonder. I was wondering why this rift valley was so difficult for cultivators to cross, making it seem like the north and south were completely isolated. It turns out they deliberately avoided contact with each other."
Cheng Cheng said, "There are many places in this world that you know very little about. The so-called Divine Land is just a corner of this realm. You've only been on the path of immortality for a short time... Strange... Why do you have your current level of cultivation?"
"What's wrong?"
"How long have you been practicing?"
"I am an individual cultivator who has been practicing for two and a half years. My special skill is..."
"His special skill is seducing female cultivators."
"..."
"Alright." Cheng Cheng smiled. "I'll have Ying Li go over there."
"Huh?" Qin Yi was momentarily stunned. From the beginning, his mindset was to go find it himself; he hadn't really considered that he could have someone else go...
But after thinking about it, I still felt it wasn't right. This was a matter of life and death for Cheng Cheng; how could I trust someone else with my own opinion? I needed to see it for myself to feel at ease.
Ying Li couldn't defeat any Huiyang cultivators, so he had to rely on trading. But those bizarre places were beyond the capabilities of most people, and if he wasted time, he would be finished.
At least he had Liusu's guidance. Liusu had seen those kinds of people and had some experience. In any case, she was more confident than Ying Li.
"I'll go instead. Ying Li Ye Ling, you have your plans here. I hope you'll have finished what you need to do by the time I get back."
Cheng Cheng gave him a deep look. "Do you know the meaning of disorder? It's not just about being unreasonable, but also about having no constraints. It's a very dangerous place. For example, you might think that if you visit someone to ask for something, Tai Huang Jun has no reason to kill you... no, there's no reason for that."
"I don't believe there are absolutely no rules, otherwise all living beings in that place would have ceased to exist long ago. Just like a mortal who is hungry and wants to eat, if he thought I wouldn't eat, wouldn't he have died long ago? That's the rule, and you can't avoid it. There are naturally rules for how people interact with each other, it's just that they're different from what we're used to." Qin Yi smiled, "Since some people can live there and even cultivate all the way to Huiyang, then naturally I can too."
"They've been there since they were little, their mindset is different from yours, you can't adapt. It's like a den of dragons and tigers for you."
"Is Ying Li? He's still a demon, so he might face even more troublesome situations." Qin Yi sighed. "This is a matter of great importance; I only feel at ease when I handle it myself."
Cheng Cheng stopped talking, looking at him with her beautiful eyes brimming with affection, her eyes practically overflowing with tears.
Qin Yi couldn't stand the gaze, so he cupped his hands in greeting and said, "My life is at stake, I'll be right back."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Cheng Cheng watched his retreating figure as he walked away, her lips pressed tightly together.
After a long while, Ye Ling rushed in like a gust of wind. "Brother... wait, Master, where's my brother?"
"Ye Ling..." Cheng Cheng's gaze fell on her, and she suddenly asked, "Back then, he went to the Rift Valley with you, braved the tiger's den, and survived by the skin of his teeth... You told me, what was his purpose in doing all that?"
"For Elder Sister Qing Jun."
Cheng Cheng's eyes glistened with tears as she murmured to herself, "This time it's for me."
After saying that, she laughed out loud and rolled around on the tatami, "It's all for me."
Ye Ling: "..."
Oh no, Master has gone mad.
Ye Ling scratched her head, suddenly feeling a little sour. Her brother was good to her, but had he ever gone this far?
Is it because I'm not as senior as my master?
Ye Ling glanced furtively at the surging waves ahead, then drooped her head and remained silent, staring at the flat plain.
Hmm, my brother once said he wanted to find Lemon Essence, but couldn't find one... Turns out you don't need to look, they're everywhere.
Women's thoughts tend to wander and become quite strange. In Qin Yi's own heart... he had to admit that Cheng Cheng's personal factors did play a role, but to be honest, even if it wasn't Cheng Cheng, but an ordinary person he had promised to save, he would have done the same.
The reason I offended Great Joy Temple was because of people I didn't even know, and I never even received a thank you from them.
The poison still lingers, and it's unknown when Cheng Yuan will recover. When that happens, Qian Yuan will be able to trace the cause and effect, and he, as the instigator, may not be able to escape retribution.
So what?
What needs to be done will always be done.
Amidst the heavy fog, Qin Yi soared into the sky, while carrion vultures on either side scurried away in terror, a stark contrast to the frenzied attack he had witnessed earlier.
Back then, I was just a novice who dared to venture into the Rift Valley. Now, I am a cultivator who has mastered both bone forging and cloud soaring. What is there to fear in dangerous places?
They're just a bunch of chaotic idiots, nothing more than a bunch of dangerous people.
Before long, they arrived at the other side of the rift that the chess fanatic had warned them "never to go there under any circumstances."
Looking into the distance, there was nothing frightening about it; it was a desolate wasteland, much like the north, where most remote border areas are sparsely populated. Further on, greenery appeared, and faint green mountains could be seen on the horizon, their shapes indistinct amidst the clouds.
That should be the destination of this trip, the so-called Thousand Mile Mountain Range. We only need to find one of the peaks called Peek Heaven Peak.
He paused, about to take flight.
Suddenly, I felt my Spiritual Qi become chaotic, and I couldn't fly. I almost fell flat on my face.
Fortunately, being Martial Cultivation, his balance was different; he staggered a couple of steps but quickly regained his footing, extremely surprised. "What's going on?"
Liusu said slowly, "The rules here have been twisted... Normally, one can only take off by lifting one's body, but that pure energy has been lost, and one cannot rise. A specific flying Technique Method is required."
Is this the case all south of the Rift Valley? Or has someone tampered with a specific area?
"It's still unknown... I think that since it's a chaotic place, the distorted and colliding auras of everyone will inevitably have some unknown effects on the rules themselves, and over time, it will become the source of their disordered rules."
Liusu's judgment should be quite accurate. Qin Yi was speechless. He took out the airship and tried it out. The airship could fly.
The airship is propelled by force, similar to flying through bone forging, and is not affected by the disorder of Spiritual Qi caused by this Technique Method.
Qin Yi tried Fire Element Technique Method again, and it worked.
Try to transform it; it can be transformed.
It's clear that the so-called chaos isn't all-encompassing; it's just that certain specific areas are in disarray. People from the Central Plains aren't used to it, much like when my Senior Sister suddenly couldn't use her Technique Method in the Painting World. Such a mistake in the heat of battle could be fatal.
Liusu said, "Based on our current speculation, the most likely things to be affected are formations and divination. What we usually know may not be the case at all. For example, those who should go through the Gate of Life may have to go through the Gate of Injury to get out, or the Gate of Death may be the Gate of Life that we usually know, and so on."
"This is really annoying. No wonder my martial uncle considers it an absolutely forbidden place. A normal person would go crazy after staying here for a short time, right?"
Liusu said leisurely, "When you see through the formlessness, these things don't exist in the sense of chaos, because your vision sees the essence with every step. Whether it's the Gate of Life or the Gate of Injury is just a name, nothing more. I think it would be quite interesting for you to practice in this kind of place; it would help you see through perceptions."
Qin Yi's heart stirred. "So many things here aren't about cultivation, but simply about perception?"
"Yes, if you have seen the formless realm, even if your cultivation is at the initial stage of the Phoenix Realm, you can still fly."
Liusu floated out, swirling around Qin Yi's head. "Like this."
"Hey, you're a spirit, it's different, okay?"
"Look, this is your obstacle. How do you know that the rules governing souls here are the same as what you perceive?"
"..." Qin Yi was speechless.
Liusu continued, "Below the rift, in those places we haven't been able to reach, there will be many distortions and chaos, mostly spatial ones... If Cheng Cheng isn't prepared for this, she'll fall sooner or later."
Qin Yi took a deep breath, looked at the distant green mountains, and said in a low voice, "Then let me try it out first, and see just how magical this so-called Land of Disorder really is."
