Painting Scroll's Guidance, Qing Cha Sprouts

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

The Land of Chaos are not a small, divided island.

The Liusu cleaves straight down into the rift valley to the East Sea. In the opposite direction, west of the rift valley, lies a vast expanse of land, mostly barren deserts and Gobi. The Myriad Phenomena Asura Sect is hidden there.

Qin Yi sometimes wondered, since it reaches the East China Sea directly, if there were no sea there, could it be split even further... or if the starting point of the Liusu station were on the western coast, could it directly divide the continent in two? Then it wouldn't be called a rift valley, but a strait.

It should be possible. Qin Yi has no doubt that Taiqing has the ability to divide the continent.

After all, the Qian Yuan Painting Dao can already create small worlds, and for a small plane, Qian Yuan can be considered a god. Just like the small plane of the Qiongqi Altar, the spirit of the world it condenses is only at the Qian Yuan level.

Even a powerful secondary plane like the Blood Nether Realm could be shattered by the battle of those Taiqing Wuxiang immortals and gods. After all, each of them was capable of creating their own planes, so achieving this result is understandable...

The Main Plane is far more powerful and solid; shattering it is impossible, but dividing the continent should be achievable. At most, it might not be enough in the early stages of the Taiqing realm, but it should be possible in the later stages. This might not rely on brute force, but rather on some kind of Divine Ability. Perhaps even the early stages would be sufficient, since we cannot yet access the level of great Divine Ability and cannot even imagine the possibilities.

In terms of the entire continent, the Rift Valley is located approximately four-fifths of the way south. South of the Rift Valley lies another one-fifth of the continent, which is a small area relative to Shenzhou, but its absolute area is actually quite large.

The area Qin Yi had previously frequented, encompassing the Thousand Mountains Alliance and the Profound Yin Sect, was only a small part of its northern region.

At the southernmost tip of the continent, there is also the sea, with towering cliffs rising thousands of feet, and below them roaring, raging seas with deep whirlpools.

A head emerged from the vortex.

Then a second and a third appeared.

"Finally out!" Qin Yi shouted, looking up at the sky. "I missed the blue sky and fresh air so much!"

"Boom!" A bolt of lightning struck the cliff, and only then did people realize that the sky was covered with dark clouds, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring, and torrential rain pouring down.

Qin Yi: "..."

Li Qingjun chuckled.

"Never mind, even a gray sky is much more comfortable than the pitch blackness of the Netherworld Realm."

"Really? We think you're having a great time in the Netherworld Realm. No matter how dark it is outside, you're always surrounded by white people in your arms."

"What are you saying..." Qin Yi awkwardly changed the subject. "It seems that these interdimensional passages are often located at the bottom of the sea or in some very deep abyss."

The two women stopped mocking him and were both deep in thought.

Jade True Person's tomb is underwater, and the previous Qiongqi altar was also inside an underwater volcano. The passage Minghe used to track Meng Qingying should be deep in the Gobi Desert cliffs, in any case, it's a low-lying, dark location.

That's why it's called "straight down to the underworld," but nobody says "up to the underworld."

Theoretically, the planes overlap, and it's not that one is below the other, so it's possible to "go to the underworld." However, if a passage suddenly appears in mid-air, it means there's a problem with the Main Plane, so it can only appear in dark, low-lying areas.

The dimensional crossing achieved by building the boundary bridge possesses a wondrous ability to Ground Shrinking to an Inch, transforming the western Gobi Desert, the vast eastern sea, and now the shores of the South China Sea. This journey, which would take months even with full-speed flight, is accomplished in just one or two days.

If one can fully utilize this Divine Ability power of dimensional traversal, the vastness of the world is but a step away.

At that time, it would no longer be a matter of traveling from the North Sea to Cangwu in the morning and evening, but rather arriving in an instant. However, this estimate involves the Principle of space and cannot be achieved casually. When Meng Qingying and the others built the boundary bridge, they first utilized the chaotic spatial rifts. Going down to the Netherworld also required finding a passage down first, rather than simply tearing open a plane and drilling in.

"Hey, are you sure this is really the South China Sea?" Ju Yunxiu asked uncertainly, "You believe her when she says this leads to the Land of Chaos?"

"Uh, why would she lie to me like that?"

"It's not that she's lying to you, but at most they'll just send someone out for a quick look around. They might not be able to confirm that this is the Land of Chaos. Maybe it's the North Sea?"

"You wouldn't know, the Land of Chaos are easy to spot." Qin Yi blinked. "Want to fly over?"

"Fly..." Ju Yunxiu had just leaped to the surface of the sea when she immediately cried out "Ouch!" and plunged back down.

Qin Yi was already waiting below with his arms outstretched, Ju Yunxiu fell into his arms.

"Come on, mission accomplished, let's give each other a kiss..."

"Roll!"

With a loud bang, Qin Yi screamed as he was sent flying into the air.

"Look, it can still fly!" Ju Yunxiu summoned her Rainbow Cloud Law Treasure, sat on it with a smile, and pulled Li Qingjun to sit with her. They looked up at Qin Yi, who had become a small dot in the sky.

Li Qingjun shaded her eyes with her hand and looked for a while, then laughed and said, "It seems that the Technique Method in this Land of Chaos is disordered, so one cannot use pure qi to ascend to the clouds. That must be it."

Ju Yunxiu frowned and said, "This may have brought new trouble."

Qin Yi stumbled back, landing precisely between the two, and put his arms around each of them. "What trouble?"

"Should our goal be to go to the location of the painting and find the fragments?"

"Yes."

"That scroll isn't a map, but rather a guide to our Painting Dao Technique Method, you know that?" Ju Yunxiu said. "If the Technique Method here are disordered and can't provide guidance, that's fine. The worst thing is that the location it points to is wrong."

Qin Yi hesitated for a moment. "Then... shall we give it a try?"

Ju Yunxiu took out the Qian Yuan scroll, and then took out two other scrolls that she had deliberately separated and not merged into the scroll: her own Yunxiu painting and the Sword Pavilion Maiden Painting.

As soon as the two paintings were taken out, Qin Yi looked at Ju Yunxiu and then at Li Qingjun, and his expression quickly became strange.

Although I had been aware of this coincidence before, it still feels incredibly strange when I see it so directly now.

Li Qingjun's expression was also very strange. "This is... a senior from our Sword Pavilion?"

"Yes."

Li Qingjun also felt a sense of the wonder of fate, gazing intently at the Sword Pavilion Maiden Painting.

Ju Yunxiu slowly incorporated the two paintings into the design.

The previous images, whether it was the Great Qian Mountains and Rivers, the Red Rock Mountain Goblin, or the Sun and Moon Painting, all became real scenes when integrated into the paintings. However, the integration of these two images did not add Ju Yunxiu and the Jiange woman to the paintings; instead, it added two swirling wisps of energy.

Then, they quickly formed a yin-yang symbol, one immortal and one martial, which circled and hovered around each other.

This is originally derived from the Daoist essence of the Ju Yunxiu and the martial spirit of the women of Sword Pavilion, gathering these two elements of the world to evolve Tai Chi. It is not represented by drawing a monkey, hence the different form.

Encircled by Yin and Yang, it slowly dispersed into all directions and disappeared. Meanwhile, the sun, moon, and stars within began to quietly move, and the stars in the sky arranged themselves into the shape of the Big Dipper, with the handle pointing to a certain place in the north.

This is the guidance that Ye Bieqing secretly incorporated into his painting. It's not just pointing in a direction, but a compass. The handle of the compass will constantly adjust its position, pointing to the clue he left somewhere.

This can be said to be what Ye Bieqing devoted all his energy to during the last few hundred years of his life. The story of these paintings has continued to this day and has finally returned to its original meaning.

"Can you tell if this location is correct or not?" Qin Yi asked. "If we can't tell, let's leave the Land of Chaos and try again. If all else fails, we can go to the Rift Valley, where it's not chaotic."

"It's not just peaceful there, it also has the person you want to see, right?" Ju Yunxiu rolled her eyes at him. "If I'm not mistaken, this guidance is correct; there's no chaos there. It seems the so-called chaos in the Land of Chaos is quite limited, at least it can't shake our Painting Dao."

"The chaos here is simply a form of chaos within the rules." Qin Yi sighed. "Since the guidance is correct, let's set off immediately!"

"Wait a minute! I need to let the Qing Cha out to air..."

Ju Yunxiu took out the box that had been placed in Yourang, brushed away the soil, and picked out the tea leaf.

The tea leaves are still fresh and tender, untouched by any soil they were dug out of. On the surface, they seem unchanged, at least not to the naked eye.

Ju Yunxiu pointed a finger at the center of the tea leaves. A flash of light appeared, and the tea leaves transformed into a little girl, rubbing her sleepy eyes. "Master, I'm hungry..."

Li Qingjun asked in surprise, "Nothing has changed?"

Ju Yunxiu pondered, "In just three or four days, perhaps some of her Root Bone have changed, but even if she's meant to grow up, it wouldn't be this fast, would it?"

"No, it's changed." Qin Yi stared blankly at the top of Qing Cha's head, where a single, straight ahoge (cowlick) had grown.

So cute... ah...
