Today's Immortal Palace

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

Qin Yi would naturally look for his Senior Sister.

Senior Sister's Cloud Wandering are to re-establish her Dao Heart, which is very important and shouldn't be hindered. But knowing she's nearby, not going to see her is incredibly heartless. Putting aside romantic feelings, Ju Yunxiu is not only Senior Sister but also Master; how could he knowingly ignore her being nearby?

Even if the Qing Huang Alliance is still strong, if they continue to give him attitude, he'll still have to go find them.

Although Cheng Cheng kept telling Li Qingjun that things had "collapsed," she didn't throw a tantrum and accompanied him around the sea for several days to search for him.

Just think of it as finding an old lady to be your mentor!

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

The ocean is vast, and there are countless small, Barren Island. Moreover, if Ju Yunxiu intended to hide, with her superb Painting Dao, concealing a small island would be far too easy.

Qin Yi even saw the temporary residence of the Scheming Sect, but still couldn't find Ju Yunxiu.

They observed from a distance outside the Scheming Sect's headquarters for a while and discovered that Heavenly Mystery Child had not come.

That's normal. Heavenly Mystery Child is now a big shot in Qianyuan. How could he personally handle everything? Even if there were a conspiracy, he wouldn't reveal himself so early.

The leader of the Scheming Sect was also a Huiyang— Qin Yi didn't recognize this person, nor did he know where Heavenly Mystery Child had recruited this Rogue Cultivator. In fact, there were many unfamiliar faces here, most likely newcomers in recent years, all of whom were powerful cultivators above the Tengyun level who had "come under the guise of their own skills."

This is the biggest difference between Heavenly Mystery Child and the others in the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace. Ju Yunxiu and Du Pingsheng of the Gambling Sect both examined whether Qin Yi was in line with their Dao. Heavenly Mystery Child was not so rigid. He directly recruited people and instantly sturdied the weak Scheming Sect.

Qin Yi stroked his chin and pondered for a while, feeling that there might be a conflict between the old and new factions. With a powerful figure parachuting in, what about Zheng Yunyi, who was originally a core disciple firmly established in the sect? Is he still one? Or is Heavenly Mystery Child biased towards Zheng Yunyi? Will the newcomer Qi Ingestion?

Perhaps Heavenly Mystery Child has his own way of solving this... After all, the overwhelming strength of the Qian Yuan Level is enough to keep the situation in check.

Qin Yi did not arouse the suspicion of the Scheming Sect and quietly left the area.

He didn't want to reveal his identity at the Penglai Sword Pavilion because he felt that remaining on the sidelines was like having a predator watching from the sidelines. If others were targeting the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, they probably wouldn't have considered that someone else was observing the situation from the outside. Once exposed, he would attract attention and lose this advantage.

So he stopped visiting the senior members of the Penglai Sword Pavilion and stopped associating with Sword Cultivator, spending most of his time overseas looking for his Senior Sister.

He hoped that those in the Spirit Cloud Sect who knew he, Qin Yi, had arrived wouldn't spread the word. Thinking of this, Qin Yi felt a pang of regret. He should have kept his identity hidden from the Spirit Cloud Sect; how could he have imagined it? Even his suspicions about foul play in the competition stemmed from Yellow Stone True Person's words.

It's also possible that you're just being paranoid and fighting with thin air, and there's no conspiracy at all.

Never mind, since there's Scheming Sect involved, we should treat it as a conspiracy. It's always better to be cautious.

A few days later, people from the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace also arrived.

There were eight sects participating in the competition. They all found a Barren Island near Burning Heaven Island to stay temporarily. As soon as the people from the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace arrived, their envoys visited Penglai Sword Pavilion. Soon, Li Qingjun found out, and then Qin Yi found out as well.

Qin Yi didn't even meet with his fellow disciples, but observed them secretly.

The elder leading the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace was the Artisan Sect Mo Wuzi, which slightly disappointed Qin Yi. If it were his chess fanatic uncle, he might be more reliable... But thinking about it, it makes sense. The Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting Sect is short of members, and his uncle usually wouldn't make a move lightly. It's not like it's something that absolutely requires him.

Then I realized that my initial feeling that the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace's ascent through the clouds hadn't been interrupted was probably just wishful thinking.

It really has a gap.

The Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace does indeed have quite a few Cloud Ascension cultivators, but those veteran Cloud Ascension Du Pingsheng have long exceeded the age limit for this competition... There are actually no young Cloud Ascension cultivators who are one or two hundred years old.

The two participants from the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace are actually fellow disciples with a good relationship.

Yin Yizhong and Gongshu Lu... they've both reached the second level of the Cloud Ascension Realm, about the same as Zheng Yunyi. Having two of them is not bad; it's not exactly a gap in skill levels, but compared to others who easily reach the fourth or sixth level, they ultimately lack a bit of confidence.

This isn't necessarily a problem with the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace itself. Tengyun is Golden Elixir stage cultivator; you can't compare them all to Minghe, a genius even in the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace, the number one sect in the Divine Continent. In a normal sect, someone who reaches the mid-Tengyun stage within one or two hundred years old is considered a genius; it's perfectly normal if they don't. Yin Yizhong and the others are already quite talented; reaching the second level of Tengyun at their age shouldn't be forced.

This is Qin Yi's perspective from an outsider's point of view. From the Scheming Sect's point of view, with Qin Yi in the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, what gap is there? He's a god-like figure who could instantly kill a third-level Cloud Ascension cultivator with a single blow three years ago. He's incredibly strong...

What surprised Qin Yi the most was that he actually saw Jing Ze among the disciples of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace who came to watch the battle.

The painter who had traveled all the way to the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace through his paintings had finally arrived.

It's clear he received the inheritance passed down from his chess-obsessed senior uncle, left behind by Ju Yunxiu before his departure. The aura of the Painting Sect's Cultivation Method is very strong on him, and his cultivation level is...

Heart of the Harp Perfection.

This is truly a genius, but unfortunately, his talent is limited to the Painting Dao. He attained enlightenment through painting in the mortal realm and developed a musical heart. He traveled thousands of miles seeking the Painting Dao to enter the celestial palace. Qin Yi strongly suspects that when he arrived at the celestial palace, he was already in the late stage of musical heart cultivation, and once he learned the formal Cultivation Method, he would reach perfection.

I wonder how long it will take to break through Tengyun Pass. It probably won't be too long. He is definitely the most suitable successor of the Painting Sect, a natural successor of the Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting Sect, Hua Sect... I bet my chess fanatic uncle is laughing his head off.

In that sense, the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace is quite lucky. With Qin Yi, and a genius like Jing Ze who is extremely compatible with the Immortal Palace's path, as well as Yin Yizhong, Gongshu Lu, and others who are also very outstanding, given enough time, their rise to prominence is foreseeable.

"Your sect is quite impressive," Cheng Cheng added. "I think it's very strong and has great potential."

Qin Yi said, "They are indeed quite strong. There are quite a few Huiyang cultivators in the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace. At first, I thought only the four sect leaders were Huiyang, but later I naturally learned that my Uncle Chess Maniac was also one, and there was also Book Immortal Martial Uncle I had never met. Judging from his age, he should also be a Huiyang. Other families also have similar assistants, although most of them live in seclusion and I have never met them, but I later learned from the roster that they exist... In addition, during the battle to destroy the Great Joy Temple, they recruited the Huiyang rogue Rogue Cultivator who participated in the battle as guest elders, so the overall strength of the Immortal Palace is very strong."

Li Qingjun said, "If that's the case, why do you always seem to have some worries about the sect?"

"The main problem with the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace is that its upper limit is difficult to reach." Qin Yi sighed. "Don't be fooled by the large number of Radiant Yang cultivators. They treat proving the Qian Yuan realm like it's their life. Because they are all creating their own Dao, there is no precedent for it. So under normal circumstances, the Radiant Yang realm will reach its limit... I suspect that many Radiant Yang cultivators are living in seclusion for this reason. I suspect that my Book Immortal Martial Uncle is in seclusion proving the Qian Yuan realm."

Cheng Cheng nodded, she understood completely. Without a lineage, it would be extremely difficult for their Demon City to improve. A genius capable of creating their own path is truly one in ten thousand years.

"That's how it is for the Qian Yuan level sect. What about the Qian Yuan Level sect?" Qin Yi spread his hands. "I don't think the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace has any chance. It will always just be a Qian Yuan level sect."

Li Qingjun laughed and said, "Aren't you satisfied yet? Qian Yuan Level sect can basically do whatever it wants in the world, let alone so many Huiyang sects."

"I still feel it's not stable enough, especially since the Palace Master is still injured..." Qin Yi sighed. "They said they asked a Qian Yuan friend to leave a wisp of divine thought in the Immortal Palace, but that's different from the Palace Master himself. If there's a real external enemy plotting against us, we might not be able to withstand it... Especially in this situation, if someone causes trouble, will that wisp of divine thought still come to our rescue?"

Li Qingjun shook her head and said, "The same approach used to deal with the Great Joy Temple back then probably won't happen again. I heard my master say that it was because everyone had been at peace for too long, and this was the first time they'd seen someone overturn the table like that, so the Great Joy Temple wasn't on guard. And afterwards, because they lost their support, no one bothered you. This time it's different. With the eight sects gathered, if you use the same trick again, even without your Qian Yuan Divine Sense, no one will stand idly by. If you keep doing this, it'll cause chaos. The cultivation world still needs basic rules."

Qin Yi pondered, "So, even if there are problems, they'll only be limited to the Huiyang level?"

"Most likely so."

"That's good." Qin Yi flew towards Burning Heaven Island: "Let's go, it's almost time."

"Aren't you going to look for your Senior Sister?"

Qin Yi turned to look into the distance and said in a low voice, "Many sects are gathering, and even the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace is here. There's no reason why Senior Sister wouldn't know... The only reason we can't find her is that she won't see me."

Thousands of miles away, atop a mountain on an island, Ju Yunxiu opened her eyes. "You big pig's trotter."
