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

Under the cover of darkness, Qin Yi, with Cheng Cheng who had eaten Gungun, took a speedboat and fled into the night.

Xie Yuan is right. If we leave at night, we'll run into fewer problems... If it's like during the day, it'll go on and on endlessly. This is a chaotic world; where isn't there something unbearable to see? We should just stop doing nothing.

Leaving at night, out of sight, out of mind, seems like a form of self-deception; not seeing something doesn't mean it doesn't exist... But we all know this is beyond our control, so we can only deceive ourselves this once.

I hope this chaotic world will end soon.

In fact, according to Xie Yuan, we've reached a watershed moment, moving from the initial chaos to a state approaching fragmentation into various factions. If that's the case, things will be relatively more stable... The struggle for power is inherently a long process.

Southern Li is essentially a typical separatist force.

Judging from Li Wuxian's method of stealing the military equipment map, the Southern Li troops will likely play a very important role in the future, and will not just be content to stay in one corner and enjoy themselves.

Qin Yi admitted he lacked the strategic acumen and strategic acumen to handle such matters. He was merely a lazy cultivator...

He couldn't even compare to a six-year-old child... Qin Yi lay lazily on the deck, like a limp snake.

Cheng Cheng lay on her back, her belly round. Although she was in human form, she always reminded Qin Yi of a little fox who had eaten too much...

"The food on earth is so delicious..." Cheng Cheng sighed, looking at the moon in the sky. "Don't you think the moon looks like a pancake? Is it tasty?"

Well, I was thinking of asking if Li Wuxian might be a little fox, but it seems I shouldn't ask.

There is no such fox.

"Your little apprentice, at least one thing can be confirmed," Liusu's voice came from her Sea of Consciousness: "Her soul at that time was definitely that of a newborn infant, still possessing an undeveloped and ignorant spirit. This cannot be hidden from me. Therefore, we can rule out Body Seizing first."

Liusu should focus on the important matter... But I don't know if it's just my imagination, Qin Yi always felt that Liusu's tone was a bit sour. Is it because she doesn't have a body and can't eat?

The thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly returned to the main point. "What if she really isn't an ordinary child? Could she be a powerful being reincarnated?"

"Reincarnation... is possible," Liusu said. "When a person is first reincarnated, they will indeed forget their past life. They are particularly intelligent because that spark of their spirit is still alive. As for their connection to their past life, it will take them a long time to remember it. At that time, they will have a choice: which life's memories will dominate."

Qin Yi frowned and said, "If it's reincarnation, would she still be considered my friend's daughter? Isn't the concept of reincarnation similar to Body Seizing a fetus...?"

"Hmm... that's a difficult question to answer. It depends on how you look at it," Liusu said. "When an embryo is first born, it's just a lump of flesh, without any consciousness. The soul merges into it, temporarily forgetting the past, and is reborn from the mother's womb. Everything it knows, sees, and learns is acquired in this life, and its emotions all originate from this life. So, of course, it can be considered Li Qinglin's daughter. Of course, if you insist that the embryo wasn't pure, that's also a perspective, and no one can convince you otherwise. It all depends on your own opinion."

Qin Yi nodded. "Are there any other possibilities?"

"The possibility of her being possessed by something is unlikely, because this child has been special since birth, not something that happened later," Liusu laughed. "Why don't you think it's really because she's such a genius? To be honest, I was smarter than her when I was a child!"

Qin Yi: "..."

You were definitely more mischievous than her when you were little, but whether you were smarter is another matter...

However, it's not impossible. Cao Cao was quite cunning as a child, so why not? Besides, this is a world of immortals and heroes, bathed in Spiritual Qi, where anything is possible. Even a single tea leaf can be used for cultivation—though that's a bit naive. Why can't someone with excellent genes be born a genius?

Cheng Cheng rolled over and leaned against his back, murmuring, "Qin Yi..."

"Ah?"

"I've digested it all..."

"Then what?"

"We haven't done it in the sky yet..."

"!!!"

Cheng Cheng chuckled and said, "Just kidding, I know the important thing is to get down to business. I also want to go see that little fox."

Qin Yi felt that Cheng Cheng, in her normal state, was more suitable to be Li Wuxian's master than he was. She was also a queen with great talent and ambition, and it would be a complete misfortune for her to take on a disciple like Ye Ling.

Of course, this is all on the premise that the child is healthy.

When I met Li Wuxian, she was building a snowman in the back garden of her Xianning Palace. A group of palace maids and eunuchs were surrounding her, protecting her. The little girl's face was rosy, and she was still sniffling...

Qin Yi Cheng Cheng, hidden in the clouds, watched for a long time but didn't think this was any great power; he was just a little kid.

His cultivation level is only at the Phoenix Initial Stage Level 3, and he can't break through to the middle level. To be honest, the Phoenix Initial Stage Level 3 Cultivation Realm is not much different from many self-cultivating hermits in the mortal world. Back then, the Li Family Siblings could kill a whole group of them with a single spear thrust. It wouldn't be wrong to call them mortals.

So it's not quite at the point where you're immune to all illnesses yet; you can still have a runny nose...

This is only natural; a child's body cannot withstand too much energy. No matter how strong one's innate Spirit Root, it cannot replace physical Root Bone; she is not a spiritual pearl. She may have reached a realm beyond the early stage of the Phoenix Realm, but her Law Power can only be stuck at this initial stage, slowly unlocking and erupting as she grows older.

"The soul is fine. There are no signs of Body Seizing or being possessed by any evil spirit. Moreover, this soul is the same as the one from back then. It has grown from an innocent child to a fully mature soul. There are no suspicious traces." Liusu made a very accurate judgment.

Qin Yi naturally trusted Liusu's judgment completely, and from his own perspective, it was indeed without fault. After all, he was now a cultivator at the Soaring Cloud Sixth Layer, with Ming Tang Bright Hall and a nascent Yin Spirit. In many situations, he could be considered a "powerful being," and his insight and understanding of the soul were far beyond what they had been back then.

Actually, other Body Seizing can't be determined by just a glance; most require Soul Searching Art. The main reason is that this is just a child, whose spiritual platform is almost defenseless, and whose cultivation is still low, making him too easy to see through.

That puts an end to my biggest worry: that it's not someone Body Seizing or control me.

As for whether reincarnation counts... let's not dwell on that, it's meaningless. As long as her current memories and consciousness are from this world, then there's no problem.

Qin Yi slightly lowered his head, wanting to meet his disciple.

As I got closer, I suddenly saw what a snowman looked like.

The creature was so deformed that its appearance was hard to discern, but it was carrying a stick with a few specks of snow stuck to it, indicating that it was Wolf Tooth Club.

The snowman the child built was neither his father nor his mother, but Qin Yi himself.

Qin Yi instantly dismissed all his doubts and quietly transmitted his voice. "Wu Xian."

The little girl was startled, sniffed, and looked up with a delighted smile, "Master!"

"Shh!" Qin Yi snapped his fingers, and the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs seemed to be isolated in a vacuum, standing there dumbfounded, completely unaware that there was a man and a woman in front of them.

Li Wuxian seemed oblivious, opening his arms wide and saying happily, "Master, give me a hug!"

Qin Yi picked her up and lifted her high twice. "I thought you would forget your master."

"How could I forget?" Li Wuxian touched the Jade Pendant hanging around her neck. "My master's face appears here every day, teaching me Cultivation Method..."

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment. He had injected his divine sense. Could it have such an effect?

Perhaps, it depends on the recipient's own conscious feedback. Whether her conscious feedback contains empty words, a sentence formed directly in her mind, or an image of someone teaching her, it all depends on the recipient's imagery. This only proves that the doll had a particularly deep memory of her, and doesn't prove anything else.

"Master, shall we go inside?" Li Wuxian said happily, "The National Teacher just sent some Winter Warm Grass Porridge today; it's sweet and quite warming!"

Cheng Cheng's eyes lit up slightly.

Li Wuxian seemed to only then notice Cheng Cheng, her small mouth pouting slightly. "Master, this maid shouldn't go in..."
