Let's Go Together

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

The Daoist priest didn't know why the expression on the other side's face turned so strange after he said those words. Even the fox in the man's arms and the snake perched on his shoulder showed very human-like smiles. In a daze, it was as if he saw two girls laughing.

The man in the blue robe had already turned purple from holding it in, and after a long while, he finally managed to choke out, "You're dreaming."

The Daoist priest thought they were mocking him for not being able to get close to the Demon Empress, so he sighed and said, "I was just saying it to express my admiration. Not to mention that she wouldn't pay attention to me, even if she did, she's here to bring blessings to humanity, what would it mean for her to follow me?"

Cheng Cheng smiled and said, "This Daoist priest is quite reasonable."

"Of course, our Spirit Cloud Sect is a prestigious and righteous sect." The Daoist bowed and asked, "This humble Tai Puzi. May I ask your names and where you cultivate?"

Qin Yi returned the greeting. "This humble Daoist priest swings his staff."

Cheng Cheng returned the greeting. "This humble Riding Stick Free Person."

Tai Puzi: "..."

You guys are so insincere! I reported my sect and my account number, and this is how you treat me?

Qin Yi said, "This is a genuine Daoist title!"

"Alright, alright." Tai Puzi looked at the white fox in Qin Yi's arms and asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist's pet is very beautiful and full of spirituality. Did you catch it in the Demon City? Where did you catch it? I want to catch one too."

The white fox grinned, and five thunderbolts struck from the sky.

Tai Puzi was caught off guard and was chopped into pieces, leaving only his blinking eyes.

Qin Yi suppressed a laugh, "Spirit Cloud Sect is indeed a renowned and powerful sect. This Five Thunder Spell actually couldn't harm you, fellow Daoist."

Tai Puzi held back for a long time, maintaining the air of a powerful sect leader. "Fellow Daoist's pet is quite capable."

Damn it, I didn't have time to react at all. Where did this fox come from...?

Qin Yi changed the subject. "It's rare to encounter human cultivators here. Fellow Daoist, would you like to have a few drinks?"

The black charcoal on Tai Puzi's body melted away, and he smiled, "Please."

Spirit Cloud Sect... Qin Yi had heard of it; it was a major sect.

The cultivation world is certainly not limited to just a few sects like Celestial Pivot Divine Palace, Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, Penglai Sword Pavilion. There are thousands of sects, large and small, but most of them live far away from the mortal world and are unknown to the public. If we include sects like Hidden Dragon Temple that cultivate in the secular world, and even include Longevity Temple like Dong Huazi, the number would probably be in the tens of thousands, with several possibly existing within a single country.

The current power structure is roughly one superpower and several strong sects. Celestial Pivot Divine Palace is the undisputed number one sect, possessing more than one Wu Xiang (a powerful, unparalleled sect), overwhelming the world with its superior status. Although the Demonic Path's Myriad Images of the Universe a powerful and influential sect) challenges them, it is a level weaker. The Demonic Path also has the Witch God Sect (a powerful and influential sect) which belongs to this level. Further down are Penglai Sword Pavilion Lai Jian Ge (a powerful and influential sect), Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace a powerful and influential sect), Da Huan Xi Great Joy Temple), and this Spirit Cloud Sect), totaling about seven or eight sects, all at the Qian Yuan level.

In reality, the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace and the Great Joy Temple are at the bottom of this level. Overall, they are about the same, with the ceiling being the Qian Yuan realm, but other sects likely have more than one Qian Yuan realm cultivator, and the number of Hui Yang realm cultivators is also greater. Moreover, the highest level of other sects may be the peak of the Qian Yuan realm, while the Palace Master is not; he may only be at the mid-stage.

The Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace has no fixed cultivation method, so it's quite remarkable that it has developed to this level and squeezed into the "multiple strong" category. There are also countless sects and Rogue Cultivator below it, forming the vast foundation of the entire cultivation world.

That said, if the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace hadn't reached that level, Minghe wouldn't have recommended it to Qin Yi. Minghe probably didn't even know the names of lower-level sects; those mentioned by her were naturally well-known and powerful sects. This resulted in a gap in Qin Yi's cultivation experience compared to ordinary people, lacking the experience of being bullied by other sects, and making him quite formidable when fighting against others.

This Spirit Cloud Sect is slightly stronger than the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, possibly possessing two Qian Yuan cultivators and nearly ten Huiyang cultivators, making it quite formidable. Of course, it has no chance of "bullying" the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace; it can only be considered a sect of the same level. Having Qian Yuan cultivators is having Qian Yuan cultivators; having multiple nuclear weapons is impressive, but that doesn't mean one nuclear weapon is useless.

Qin Yi led Tai Puzi to the edge of the square, took two buckets of demon wine, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist comes from a prestigious family, and you are very polite to us Rogue Cultivator. You are indeed well-mannered."

Tai Puzi, with a slight air of pride, nodded and said, "It is because I saw you drinking heartily and displaying your Sword Qi aura in a powerful manner, advocating for humanity. You are a fellow Daoist, hence my desire to befriend you."

The implication is that this is a form of "compromise," otherwise they might not even give a Rogue Cultivator a second glance. No wonder he dared to spout nonsense and curse the Demon Empress in the Demon City; he has powerful backing.

Qin Yi didn't mind; this person's intentions were good, and he could indeed be considered upright. He also wanted to inquire about the current situation outside, so he handed over a barrel of demon wine. "Please."

Tai Puzi stared blankly at the bucket in front of him for a long time before forcing a dry laugh, "Never mind..."

You're fucking treating me to drinks, and you're really using buckets? I thought only monsters did that, I didn't expect humans to do it too...

Qin Yi opened a bucket, took a sip, and asked, "Daoist Master, the Spirit Cloud Sect rarely ventures into the mortal world. What brings you here this time?"

"Because there is a Qian Sect Tournament in about half a year, I will travel around to gain experience first."

"Hmm? What is the Qian Sect Tournament?"

"Qian refers to Qian Yuan, which is also the Da Qian Kingdom," Tai Puzi said with a smile. "In short, it is a grand competition for all Qian Yuan sects within a radius of ten thousand miles around the Da Qian Kingdom."

Qin Yi asked in surprise, "There's such a grand competition? I've never heard of it before?"

"It all started as a friendly sparring match between the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace and the Penglai Sword Pavilion. But somehow it got out, and you wanted to participate while I wanted to, so it turned into a grand competition," Tai Puzi laughed. "To put it bluntly, we've been too idle for too long. In the last thousand years, apart from the fight between the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace and the Great Joy Temple, there haven't been any conflicts for a long time. Cultivators are getting restless and all have a bit of a desire to participate, so this lively event has come about."

"I see." Qin Yi's heart stirred; he really wanted to participate too.

When stillness reaches its peak, movement arises; this applies to others as well as him.

Not only could he meet Qing Jun, but he also wanted to participate in such a grand event. It would allow him to verify his knowledge, consult with various schools of thought, and gain a broader understanding of the current cultivation world, thus making up for his lack of knowledge.

Cheng Cheng watched his expression from the side and sighed inwardly.

She knew Qin Yi wouldn't stay long, because the Demon City couldn't be his domain. He was, after all, a human, not a Rift Valley demon. He wanted to roam the human world, not retreat into the demon realm.

Even if the demon realm allows him to cultivate all the way to the formless realm.

Although Liangyuan is beautiful, it is not my hometown. Cheng Cheng knows that Qin Yi will leave sooner or later.

She almost wanted to strangle Tai Puzi, but she also knew it wasn't his fault; it was inevitable. Even without Tai Puzi, the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace would have sent a message. How could the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace allow a Battle Hall Master like him to miss this grand event?

Cheng Cheng secretly sent a divine thought to the people around her.

Before long, several burly, powerful demons at the Core Formation stage surrounded Tai Puzi.

Tai Puzi dropped the wine in his hand. "What are you doing?"

"His Majesty has said that outsiders are not welcome here. Please leave."

Tai Puzi was stunned for a moment, somewhat shocked. The demon king here was highly cultivated. In the midst of the millions of people and the revelry of ten thousand demons, he was able to accurately detect that there was an outsider here.

Wait a minute, aren't the one wielding the stick and the Riding Stick Free Person outsiders too?

Before Tai Puzi could react, he was grabbed by a group of powerful demons and tossed into the air with a "whoosh," disappearing in an instant. His screams echoed from the sky, "You Demon City are unreasonable!"

Qin Yi turned to look at Cheng Cheng, Cheng Cheng turned her head away and ignored him.

Qin Yi gently embraced her and said softly, "You don't want me to leave?"

Cheng Cheng pouted. "I know forcing you to stay isn't good for you either, you're not from Demon City after all... but I'm not happy, is that wrong?"

Qin Yi gently stroked her waist and whispered in her ear, "You seem to have forgotten something."

"Huh? What?"

"This human body can come with me."

Cheng Cheng's eyes lit up instantly, and she turned to look at him with delight, her beautiful eyes sparkling like stars.

Qin Yi gently kissed her forehead and said softly, "So, cultivate diligently in this human body, and on the day you leave the valley, you will soar through the clouds."

Cheng Cheng bit her lower lip. "Just you wait, forget about soaring through the clouds, your fifth floor is nothing special!"

Just as Qin Yi was about to speak, something seemed to fall off his shoulder.

Looking down, I saw a dead snake writhing on the ground, muttering to itself, "Little Ghost, I have no human form..."

A voice from Liusu echoed in her Sea of Consciousness: "What a coincidence, I don't have one either."
