Farthest East of the Rift Valley

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

Qin Yi hadn't planned to leave yet; he still had a lot of things to do here.

Having promised Cheng Cheng to explore the Rift Valley, and only halfway through, I certainly can't just turn around and leave.

I also need the earth veins and Kun Peng Purple Mansion to cultivate, so how could I just go in once and be done with it?

For the public good, he still needs to support the people here. He also needs to personally preach the Dharma, and he will have to wait at least a while until most of the people's cultivation is on the right track before he can leave peacefully.

It has been almost a year since I went to the Rift Valley, and there are still more than half a year, about seven or eight months, before the Qian Sect Tournament.

That's about enough.

Regardless of when he planned to leave, the fact that Qin Yi had promised to take her out made this the perfect All Saints Festival for Cheng Cheng. The gloom that had hung over her earlier because of his departure was instantly swept away, and she became incredibly happy.

The monsters were still partying all night long, Cheng Cheng had already dragged Qin Yi back to Brocade Embroidery Workshop in a flash.

The sheep died, so we need to feed it grass.

The one in charge of this project is still the demon.

Although the human and demon forms often cursed themselves, they knew in their hearts that they were actually the same. The human form had not yet reached the Cloud Ascension stage, and although it was possible to do that, there was no need to rush. So, it held its breath and ran to the secret chamber, severing the soul connection between the two forms to AFK cultivate, hoping to leave the valley with Qin Yi when the time came.

Inside the Brocade Embroidery Workshop, Qin Yi was tackled to the ground by a snow-white Chenghuang.

Qin Yi struggled. "Hey, hey, hey, don't do this! Transform first, transform!"

Chenghuang blinked at him. "Isn't Chenghuang's form good? When you hug me, I see you love to touch me, especially my tail."

"That's different..."

Chenghuang thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "I know what you like."

Qin Yi watched helplessly as Chenghuang transformed into Cheng Cheng's appearance, but not completely human; it retained a pair of fox ears and a tail.

Qin Yi, who was struggling, suddenly lay down and stopped talking.

Cheng Cheng sensed the change in his body and whispered with a grin, "As expected... how about I look like this when I see you from now on?"

After holding it in for a while, Qin Yi honestly admitted, "Okay."

Fox-eared girl with a tail... So cute, my nose is about to bleed, how could I not like her?

The benefits here at Cheng Cheng's place are just too many; it's so good it makes you want to stay forever...

Cheng Cheng kissed him and said softly, "Actually, you really want to treat me like a pet, don't you?"

Just as Qin Yi was about to deny it decisively, Cheng Cheng first put her index finger to his lips and whispered, "No need to deny it, because I'm willing."

Qin Yi was taken aback, and then he saw Cheng Cheng take out her usual gold ring.

This was an extremely powerful Law Treasure, Cheng Cheng's natal treasure, which she had continuously refined with her cultivation, until it became intertwined with her life. Qin Yi didn't Cheng Cheng understand why Chengcheng had taken it out, but then he saw Cheng Cheng raise her hand, and the golden ring suddenly separated, fastening around her snow-white neck.

"This is... your pet." Cheng Cheng buried her face in his arms, too embarrassed to look up. Even with her usual vixen-like openness, her cheeks were flushed crimson. "Do you like it?"

The answer is completely obvious and requires no further explanation.

Because Qin Yi has already transformed into a wild beast.

The Liusu in the stick gasped. Even if Qin Yi cultivated in the earth's veins for a hundred years, absorbing countless Yao Qi, he couldn't possibly unleash such a raging ferocity. This fox-like technique is terrifying; is it even at the Taiqing level?

Will Ye Ling, as his apprentice, be able to learn this move? I'm afraid it will be difficult...

Last night, the rain was sparse and the wind was strong; a deep sleep could not dispel the lingering effects of the wine. I asked the person rolling up the curtain, who replied that the crabapple blossoms were still there. Do you know, do you know? It should be that the green leaves are lush and the red blossoms are faded.

The next morning, Cheng Cheng woke up lazily and reached out to find Qin Yi nowhere to be seen.

"Your Majesty is awake?" A little fox entered the room and rolled up the curtains, letting in the morning sunlight. Cheng Cheng shielded her eyes and asked, "Where's Qin Yi?"

"The Master went to the Clan Headquarters and, together with the Humble Origins, selected a human compound where he preached the Dharma to humans."

Cheng Cheng pouted. "That's so thoughtful."

"Isn't it because you, sir, are so thoughtful that Your Majesty likes it?" The little fox looked at Cheng Cheng's fox ears with a grin. "Your Majesty looks so cute like this."

Cheng Cheng laughed and said, "Do you want to transform into one too? You'll definitely be cuter than me."

"No!" The little fox turned and ran away. "If the master goes berserk, we don't have the cultivation of the king."

"Heh..." Cheng Cheng chuckled, seemingly annoyed, before her expression gradually calmed down.

With a flick of her slender hand, the golden ring appeared in her grasp, and her demeanor returned to that of a sovereign, cold and dignified.

"What happened to that Daoist priest?"

A faint buzzing sound filled the air, "He went to the easternmost part of the Rift Valley, outside Saint Dragon Peak. But he couldn't get in, and after a long struggle, he left disappointed."

Cheng Cheng nodded slightly. "I understand."

A mosquito-like voice whispered, "Should we...?"

"Never mind, it's not that we have any ill intentions. We just have some clue that we think there's something here. As long as we don't continue to sneak around, we can leave." Cheng Cheng paused, then smiled slightly. "Actually, Qin Yi is also looking for something."

The mosquito-like noise made me afraid to speak.

"There might indeed be something within Saint Dragon Peak..." Cheng Cheng pondered, "But it's very likely that only a small portion constitutes the rift valley, blocking the East Sea. The real majority lies at the bottom of Kunpeng, which is the foundation for the rift valley being filled with remnants of souls, solidified Demon Power, and has endured for tens of thousands of years. It will also be... the root cause if the Demon City is destroyed in the future."

The mosquito-like humming suddenly grew louder. "Your Majesty, you..."

"That part of Saint Dragon Peak, if Qin Yi wants it, we'll give it to him. It was agreed before this cooperation that it should belong to him," Cheng Cheng smiled. "As for the rest..."

Her gaze suddenly turned sharp. "From today onwards, strengthen the defenses of all areas of the Rift Valley. Not a single mosquito, human or demon, is allowed to enter! Any human cultivators who manage to sneak in again will be executed by the guards!"

The mosquito-like voice solemnly replied, "Yes!"

The little fox pushed open the door and entered. "Your Majesty, the master has returned."

Cheng Cheng coughed twice, rummaged through her clothes, and lay back down looking weak and helpless. She said in a coquettish voice, "Tell him I'm too tired to get up and that he has to feed me porridge before I can get up."

The little fox covered its mouth and flew away. A mosquito fell from the sky, bumped its head on the window frame, and then flew away, wobbling.

After a moment, Qin Yi indeed entered the room with a bowl of porridge, looking somewhat embarrassed. He carefully sat down next to Cheng Cheng and let her lean against him.

"Ah~ Open your mouth, it's not hot."

"Blow it again."

"I have Law Power, little fox. I can set it to whatever temperature I want. Why brag?"

"I don't care, I'm going to blow it."

Qin Yi reluctantly scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it, and said, "Hey..."

Cheng Cheng laughed so hard her eyes disappeared, and happily drank it all in one gulp.

Liusu got goosebumps, and white mist fell in wisps.

Cheng Cheng leaned against Qin Yi's chest, eating her porridge, and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Qin Yi said, "I still plan to go into seclusion for a while. Because of this time helping others, the Daoist cultivator is on the verge of breaking through the barrier. I should use the earth veins and the Purple Mansion to push my cultivation to the Soaring Cloud Sixth Layer. This will also facilitate the next matter of the Rift Valley. Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood."

Cheng Cheng smiled slightly, "Then you can go into seclusion with peace of mind. Don't worry too much about the Rift Valley. What that Bei Demon said wasn't entirely unreasonable. We've deciphered a lot of the secrets of our inheritance, and we can indeed handle many things on our own... Perhaps by the time you come out, we'll already be able to explore the most important place."

Qin Yi paused, then asked, "What do you mean by the most important place?"

"The Rift Valley is said to be boundless, but in reality, it does have boundaries. At its easternmost point is Saint Dragon Peak, which is tens of thousands of feet high, and even the peaks exposed above the ground are several thousand feet high. Beyond this peak, further east, lies the vast East China Sea."

Qin Yi imagined that without this mountain peak, the rift valley would probably have been submerged by the sea...

Cheng Cheng said casually, "There's probably something unusual about this mountain... I believe you'll be interested."

Qin Yi paused slightly as he fed Cheng Cheng the porridge. He looked down at Cheng Cheng's expression, Cheng Cheng's gentle eyes betrayed nothing.
