Familiar Faces
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
Since the goal was to investigate the situation, and there was no other way, the only option was to go to Burning Heaven Island in the East China Sea to check things out beforehand.
The people from the Spirit Cloud Sect have already gone to the East Sea. Other sects will probably go first as well. With multiple sects stationed there, we can probably find some clues.
I wonder if the people from the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace have arrived yet...
On their way to the East China Sea, Qin Yi changed both his and Cheng Cheng's appearances, even altering their clothes to resemble Daoist robes. This seemed like a potentially dangerous situation, so it was best to remain disguised.
Cheng Cheng looked at Qin Yi curiously. "Do you change your appearance randomly, or is there a template for it?"
Qin Yi coughed lightly. "There's a template. His name is Louis Koo. Isn't he handsome?"
Cheng Cheng's expression was strange. "Not as good-looking as you."
Qin Yi gave a thumbs up. "You have good taste!"
"And what about me?" Cheng Cheng picked up Small Mirror and looked at herself. "Who am I?"
"You don't have a template; I just slightly adjusted your features," Qin Yi said earnestly. "You are you, and no one can impersonate you."
Cheng Cheng felt she hadn't understood what he meant. If it was just following a template, wasn't she just impersonating someone else? Qin Yi's words were completely reversed...
But she didn't dwell on it, and simply said, "Then you don't need a template, just adjust it slightly to your own style. I don't want to see other people's faces."
Qin Yi felt a warmth in his heart and decisively abandoned the Louis Koo look, transforming himself into his own appearance with slight adjustments.
In fact, with slight adjustments to a person's facial features and face shape, they are generally unrecognizable. This can be seen in the four great Asian sorceries: makeup and Photoshop.
The two looked at each other and could clearly recognize each other; they were so familiar with each other that they would recognize each other even if the other turned to ashes. After a while, they found the other's "dressed up" particularly funny and couldn't help but reach out and grab the other's face at the same time.
Seeing the comical state of the tear, the two burst out laughing at the same time.
Liusu rolled her eyes inside the stick. "Two idiots."
When Qin Yi arrived at the East China Sea, he was reminded of the Pacific Ocean, both of which were vast and boundless, with no end in sight.
There must be other continents on the other side of the ocean. In fact, there must be quite a few continents in this world, along with other cultivators. It's not just one continent that's perfectly formed. However, this ocean is likely much larger than the Pacific Ocean, and there are many more dangerous things or various chaotic spatial currents in the open sea, making it difficult for ordinary cultivators to cross.
According to the rule of thumb, the more difficult it is for ordinary people to reach a place, the more mysterious it is. And obviously, the vast ocean is so big that it is full of mysteries.
There are also many sacred mountains in the sea, among which Penglai Sword Pavilion is the most representative. Apart from that, most of the sea is inhabited by Rogue Cultivator of all sizes. There are a few spiritual mountains on land, but the ocean is endless, making it a good choice for Rogue Cultivator to find treasure lands.
Of course, the known sacred mountains, though said to be thousands of miles overseas, can only be considered near the sea.
Not everyone can go to the open sea; it's too dangerous.
Qin Yi had read some records of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace. The seniors of the Immortal Palace, including the Palace Master, had all tried to go out to sea, but they all returned in a sorry state. One of the seniors from the Gambling Sect was trapped in a vast and chaotic reef for more than a hundred years before finally managing to escape. This was being trapped. The Palace Master had recorded a very casual account of being "attacked and forced to retreat." This was being beaten.
The arrogant palace master was clearly beaten back; to put it mildly, he probably didn't even know who his opponent was, otherwise he wouldn't have left it unmentioned.
The mysteries of heaven and earth surpass even the primordial chaos.
Even the chess fanatic uncle doesn't dare to go to the Land of Chaos... And compared to the vast ocean, the so-called Land of Chaos is obviously child's play, whether in terms of strength or chaos.
The world is vast.
One of the advantages of modern people is that they know from the beginning that the world is vast, that there are heavens beyond heavens, and that they have a profound understanding from the very beginning: there is a universe beyond heavens, infinite and endless.
Unlike the natives who gradually come to realize through spiritual practice. "Damn, how could it be like this?"
Of course, Qin Yi couldn't be sure whether this world was actually a star in the universe. It might be a closed loop, a man-made world that could ascend vertically—that was entirely possible. Liusu hadn't mentioned it to him, and he didn't think it was a big deal if it was a man-made world. It was simply a return to the worldview of gods creating the world. If there was no universe outside, so be it. Even if the universe was just a cloud in someone's hand, so what? It wouldn't affect anyone.
That's what a laid-back, easygoing person is like, definitely.
The cultivators are better off; once they can fly, their perspective changes. Before ordinary people unlock their technological potential, they are confined to one place, truly like frogs in a well, only able to speak a limited view. Even someone as outstanding as Li Qinglin is inevitably limited in his knowledge and becomes an ant in the eyes of the cultivators.
Cheng Cheng sat on the airship looking at the sea, and remained silent.
Having only caught a fleeting glimpse of the seaside villager before, Chengcheng felt nothing of significance. But now, standing at sea in Cheng Cheng, witnessing the vast expanse where the sea and sky meet, it was the first time she truly felt how small the rift valley was.
Being a demon king in a rift valley is really nothing special.
It's just a little fox... who doesn't even recognize a pomelo.
"Um... we seem to have forgotten something very important..." Qin Yi suddenly said.
"Um?"
"Where is Burning Heaven Island?"
Cheng Cheng: "..."
It's a true human tragedy.
Finding an island in the ocean whose coordinates are unknown... If you were to search normally, you might not even find it by the time the two of you have a litter of fox cubs on the boat.
Liusu sighed again, "Two idiots. How shameful."
Qin Yi flicked his ring.
A Little Ghost floated out from inside and hovered in front of him, staring at him.
Qin Yi reached out and pulled its face to both sides. "I've put up with you for a long time."
The Little Ghost stretched out its fist and punched Qin Yi in the face.
The two started fighting. Cheng Cheng shook her head, sat down to the side, and brought out a melon.
Heaven knows how that Little Ghost, whose arm was shorter than Qin Yi's little finger, managed to fight Qin Yi, and it even seemed like they were going to go toe-to-toe...
Qin Yi didn't say anything, but Cheng Cheng treated Liusu as a spirit and had already gotten used to the existence of this little spirit.
She wasn't unfamiliar with artifacts possessing spirits; her golden ring already faintly possessed one, though it wasn't fully formed. Even among formed spirits, she'd never heard of anything so bizarre—fighting with its master... was this still an artifact spirit?
That Wolf Tooth Club is most likely a High Antiquity artifact. Are all High Antiquity artifacts this powerful?
"Clang!"
A faint light appeared on the horizon, like the dazzling gleam of Sword-Ray.
The two fighters stopped fighting with perfect understanding, and Qin Yi maneuvered the airship to chase after Liu Guang in an instant.
As you get closer, you can see that it is two young men fighting with swords.
Both were dressed in snow-white robes, their longswords gleaming like rainbows, putting on quite a show. However, Qin Yi recognized them at a glance: one was a genuine Sword Cultivator, the dazzling sword light emanating from him; the other was a fake Sword Cultivator ...
Because that's Zheng Yunyi.
"Whoosh!" The two sword lights collided.
The true Sword-Ray pierced through the air without any hindrance. The Sword Cultivator was stunned for a moment, and then saw the Sword-Ray opposite him explode into a cloud of mist.
The Sword Cultivator's eyes widened. "You're not Sword Cultivator at all!"
Zheng Yunyi waved his fan. "Who told you I'm Sword Cultivator?"
"Shameless..." The Sword Cultivator by a strange poison, had unfocused eyes and fell into the sea with a "thud".
Zheng Yunyi smiled, reached out and scooped up the unconscious Sword Cultivator, seemingly about to do something.
Qin Yi, having retracted his airship, and Cheng Cheng, riding on auspicious clouds, approached with an air of otherworldly grace. "Stop!"
