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

Qin Yi suddenly remembered that Heavenly Being, who was also a Qian Yuan.

Back then, the confrontation started in an instant; people would grab sticks and start hitting each other. There was no time to calmly experience the feeling, which is different from observing and contemplating it.

After that guy was hit by the Vermilion Bird's Soul Fire, he lost all his prestige, and there was nothing left to experience. However, he could still feel the huge difference in dimensions during the battle. If it weren't for the Vermilion Bird's attack and Liusu's sneak attack, he and Cheng Cheng would have been doomed. Even if there were Discarded Piece to save them, it would have been useless. Ye Ling's rescue would have been a death sentence.

Even if you win, you must realize that the gap is enormous. It's not a victory of someone of a higher level, but rather a fatal defeat by a Vermilion Bird of the same level. Li Duanxuan is at that level now.

It's said that Qian Yuan represents the attainment of the Dao, the realm that Ye Bieqing and others aspire to reach throughout their lives. It is indeed the pinnacle among cultivators commonly seen. As for those like Wu Xiang, they are practically legendary figures in the current cultivation world, with only a handful of them actually known by name.

There are three Celestial Pivot Divine Palace, one Myriad Images of the Universe, and one Witch God Sect. Among the countless cultivators in the entire Divine Continent's cultivation world, only these five are known to be without form. There might be others in the distant seas and Land of Chaos, and probably some on the other side of the sea, but since they haven't interacted for a long time, they can basically be ignored.

Of these five, one is Master Minghe, and the other is Master Meng Qingying ... Thinking about it this way, the background of this pair of enemies, Minghe Meng Qingying, is really terrifying. No wonder Xuan Hao Zhenren didn't dare to kill Meng Qingying after capturing her. Where did he get the courage?

But it still doesn't compare to Qin Yi's impressive background.

His true master was a Taiqing staff, though it looked like a dead cat now... but it was still Taiqing.

Thinking of this, Qin Yi immediately calmed down. So what if Qian Yuan is amazing? There's no pressure.

"Even after parting ways in the Great Qian Dynasty, your demeanor remains as impressive as ever, Senior." Qin Yi performed a junior's bow. "Congratulations on attaining the Dao of Qian Yuan, Senior."

Li Duanxuan looked down at the flowers, seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Have you come here for cultivation matters? Matters concerning your children? Matters concerning your sect?"

Qin Yi said, "Yes, all of them. However, I feel that sect matters are not something I am suited to discuss?"

"There's not much difference," Li Duanxuan said calmly. "You are now the Outer Sect the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace... In fact, some people's understanding of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace is: Oh, that's the sect with Qin Yi."

"Well..."

"The so-called Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow is something that the Witch God Sect would covet. If you obtain it, it might bring trouble to the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace."

Qin Yi frowned.

I hadn't thought of this beforehand. I was just worried that Cheng Cheng's matter might put pressure on the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace from public opinion, but I didn't expect that the Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow would cause trouble.

Ultimately, he was more independent than belonging to the Immortal Palace. He usually considered taking responsibility for things himself. However, he was already a well-known representative of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, and others would not separate him from the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace.

So... he can't return to the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace at least in the short term. As long as he's not there, the Witch God Sect's focus won't be on the sect itself, but rather on searching for Qin Yi elsewhere. That doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't become a burden to others, since he never planned to go back anytime soon anyway.

As for the Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow itself, bah! If you're so capable, come and try to steal it! If you're so capable, take a beating! Liusu will tear them apart, who cares about any sect?

However, the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace may have to bear some pressure, and I feel a little bad about it. I'll have to ask my Senior Sister how to handle it later.

Seeing Qin Yi remain silent in thought, Li Duanxuan said, "I've looked into it, and this item is roughly related to Sacrifice of Life, possessing the ability to evolve flesh and blood. Logically, this item has nothing to do with you, so why can't you discard it?"

Qin Yi said seriously, "Yes, it's very important."

Li Duanxuan pondered for a moment and said, "Regarding this matter, Penglai Sword Pavilion reached a consensus at its internal meeting yesterday. In the Blood Nether Realm, you saved Long Ting, therefore Penglai Sword Pavilion will stand with the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace on this matter."

Qin Yi was overjoyed and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, senior."

With the Penglai Sword Pavilion offering its support, the Witch God Sect can hardly treat it as bullying another sect, and cannot openly provoke them. This basically puts our minds at ease.

These swordsmen are quite adorable.

"But that doesn't mean we'll fight to the death if the Witch God Sect launches a full-scale attack," Li Duanxuan said coldly. "So you'd better not return to the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace anytime soon."

"Yes, I never intended to return to the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace," Qin Yi said. "Qing Jun and I came here to tell you, senior, that Qing Jun will be Cloud Wandering with me for a while, and the return date is uncertain."

Li Duanxuan said coldly, "Knowing that the Witch God Sect is targeting you, you still want to drag Qing Jun into this?"

Li Qingjun chimed in, "Master, if I knew a powerful enemy was targeting him, it would be wrong of me to leave!"

Li Duanxuan waved his hand, staring at Qin Yi and said, "I don't care what you think, I just need to know what he thinks."

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, "Senior, I hadn't anticipated this trouble. My original intention was to take Qing Jun on Cloud Wandering of experience. Now that I know of this..."

Li Qingjun retorted angrily, "Hey, don't even think about letting me stay!"

Qin Yi hurriedly replied, "No. Actually, it's not that complicated. The Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow has already concealed my aura. If the Witch God Sect wants to find my whereabouts, the world is as vast as a needle in a haystack. Where would they even begin to look? To be honest, I don't really think there's much of a crisis to speak of. Even if we do encounter them, we are confident that we can fight them. Besides, Senior Sister is with us this time, and our strength is not to be underestimated."

Li Duanxuan pressed on, "What if there really is a crisis?"

Qin Yi found this difficult to answer, but Li Qingjun spoke first, "The so-called training is about dealing with crises. We can't be afraid to go out just because we've offended someone. Do we cultivate to be like tortoises?"

Li Duanxuan looked at Qin Yi for a while, knowing he meant the same thing, and said, "You two... are still full of youthful passion. Haven't you cooled down after all these years?"

Qin Yi said, "Senior had it too. Qing Jun actually inherited it from you."

"Um?"

Qin Yi said, "In my opinion, Qing Jun and her brother's personalities are due to the Ancestral System established by our predecessors. Royal children must travel the world incognito, which is why Qing Jun is Qing Jun, and not some arrogant and willful Princess. I greatly admire our predecessors' actions."

Li Duanxuan was stunned for a moment.

He had almost forgotten about that.

After Qin Yi mentioned it, I recalled that it seemed to be true... and a thousand years had passed in the blink of an eye.

In fact, his founding of his kingdom was quite different from others. He originally fought for the sake of training and cultivation, but somehow he gathered a force and a group of people who depended on him for survival. He was then pushed by the crowd to establish his kingdom. Even after establishing his kingdom, he continued to seek the Dao. In his later years, he abandoned his family and country and went to sea alone, finally finding the true Dao of the Immortal Sword.

This life is quite interesting.

Back then... a fleeting glimpse of that woman using the art of fire... sparked his yearning for the path of Immortal Dao, and thus the country was named Southern Li.

Even now, after attaining the Dao of Qian Yuan, Li Duanxuan still doesn't know who that woman is. He also doesn't know if she's dead or alive after a thousand years.

The current Qin Yi and Li Qingjun really reminded him of himself back then.

They are even luckier than they were back then, when they didn't even know who the other person was, while they were able to walk hand in hand from a very early age.

He finally sighed, "Do you know why I'm telling you this? Do you know that the Penglai Sword Pavilion experienced something exactly the same thing back then?"

Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment, then thought to himself, what a coincidence.

Back then, a girl from the Penglai Sword Pavilion ran off with the Gu Song Layman, and later died outside...

And the place they went to was also the place Qin Yi and Li Qingjun wanted to go at that moment.

They also had a partner named Painting Dao Daohuiyang back then... Qin Yi and Li Qingjun are also with them this time.

The Penglai Sword Pavilion certainly doesn't know about the latter two coincidences; they only need the first one. They're already quite agitated about their female disciples going on adventures with men.

Moreover, this time it's their most valued genius.

Qin Yi also sighed, "The Penglai Sword Pavilion is not worried about the dangers of the training, but that they genuinely regard Qing Jun as their successor and do not want Qing Jun to leave with outsiders. That is the main reason."

Li Duanxuan narrowed his eyes, a hint of fierceness finally appearing within them. "Since you know, is there anything you want to say to me?"

Qin Yi said seriously, "I just want to know, what is the concept of an heir in the mind of the Penglai Sword Pavilion? Is it someone who rides a long spear to bind Bind Azure Dragon with a Long Tassel and roams the world with overwhelming power, or is it someone to teach children at home?"

Li Duanxuan finally burst out laughing.
