Let's Wait and See

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

"Your Highness..." Lingxu carefully entered the side hall and bowed deeply to the little girl who was meditating cross-legged.

In the past few years, the National Teacher Lingxu has made great contributions. Basically, from the outside perspective, this force is centered around Lingxu, and Xianning Princess, although respected, is just a figurehead.

Some might even think that the National Teacher Lingxu was controlling the little Princess as a puppet, but only his close advisors knew that Lingxu didn't dare to breathe loudly in front of this little girl.

Li Wuxian opened her eyes.

A flash of light, and electricity was generated in the empty room.

Lingxu was terrified. He had cultivated for over two hundred years and was only at the Heart of the Harp Perfection. There was no way he could possibly ascend to the clouds... Well, no, he did ascend to the clouds, and it was all thanks to this young lady's guidance. Who would believe that if he told outsiders?

This young lady is only eleven years old and she has already reached the fourth level of the Qin Heart Realm... If she were given a suitable sacred mountain, flying through the clouds with her eyes closed would be no problem at all.

Of course, this was due to her exceptional talent, as well as the top-tier Cultivation Method taught to her by her master, Qin Yi, which were extremely rare. It was a top-tier Immortal Opportunity that Li Wuxian was born with, having a master like Qin Yi, and Li Wuxian was also a part of his Lingxu Immortal Opportunity, so he flattered her to the extreme.

Who would dare use her as a figurehead or a puppet? They'd be asking for trouble!

Moreover, Li Wuxian has not actually An Yi these past few years.

Not everyone takes this little girl lightly. She has survived countless assassination attempts. Take the short-lived "Young Emperor," for example; he faced at least three assassination attempts from his side.

However, they couldn't possibly break through the protective barrier of the immortal Qin Yi Jade Pendant left behind, and they couldn't even defeat the young Li Wuxian, who was only a few years old. Some of the assassins were even cultivators, but they were instead annihilated by this little miss.

Li Wuxian's scheme to kill the Young Emperor was merely a way of returning the favor.

In other words, the arrogant and domineering Sima Qing knew nothing and died without ever knowing where the blame he was being placed on came from.

They really treat this little girl like a child who knows nothing... They are the ones who know nothing.

"The King Anling in the west issued a proclamation, saying that we are like a hen crowing at dawn, the source of chaos in the world. He Tian Yong Pass, and bandits from the mountains rose up in response."

"What bandit response... just empty boasting." Li Wuxian pondered, "But to the west, I've heard there's a very powerful sect? The Taiyi Sect? Were they the ones who tried to assassinate me before, the Young Emperor?"

"Yes, this is a Qian Yuan Level sect. In terms of size, it is even larger than the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, but there is not much difference. They are considered to be at the same level."

"Is the Taiyi Sect currently clashing with a Demonic Path Sect called the Witch God Sect? The one that's hunting down my master."

"Yes." Lingxu flattered, "They've gone against your master; they'll bring about their own destruction one day."

He then cautiously reminded him, "It would be best not to spread the word about Your Highness's relationship with your teacher, lest it cause further complications."

Li Wuxian remained silent for a long time before suddenly saying, "Those warlords each have a celestial family secretly supporting them. The Taiyi Sect alone is supporting two or three of them. National Teacher, tell me, what does our struggle for power in the mortal realm have to do with these so-called recluses?"

"Hmm..." Lingxu didn't know how to put it. In fact, the Taiyi Sect hadn't been directly involved; only some of the related Outer Sect were involved, essentially similar to his Lingxu Hidden Dragon Temple. When the secular regime was settled, these Outer Sect, who originally had few resources, would naturally want to gain the support of a nation and would want to fight for it.

All are driven by profit.

The Taiyi Sect may offer some minor support from behind the scenes, but the powerful figures of the Qian Yuan Hui Yang realm don't have the time to personally intervene in human affairs. Such matters involve human karma and the fate of all living beings, so everyone is very cautious and won't act recklessly.

"There's cause and effect, right?" Li Wuxian continued, "The wishes of an entire nation's people—the karmic consequences are too great. Even Qian Yuan Level sect might be destroyed because of this?"

Lingxu said, "Yes, in fact, there are special witchcrafts that involve cause and effect and karma. The Witch God Sect knows them and could even destroy a major sect directly."

Li Wuxian remained silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Contact the Witch God Sect for me and tell them that the fate of the Great Qian Dynasty is shared by them."

Lingxu was taken aback. "The Witch God Sect and your master..."

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing," Li Wuxian said in a low voice. "A fragmented nation is too weak; it's not enough to exploit. When I have the destiny of a nation, when I'm blessed by heaven, then... I'll deal with them."

"Yes..." Lingxu asked, "Then, besides that, what about the army of the King Anling?"

"The immortals have finished their business, and things are quite simple in the mortal realm... They may truly not know that times have changed..." Li Wuxian said leisurely, "The distant Southern Li, separated by mountains, is no longer isolated. Let us wait and see how many more years this chaos in the world will last."

The reason why Qin Yi would think of the outside world when he was refining pills was naturally due to the Unseen pull of the Immortal Dao path. He vaguely sensed that there were major changes in the outside world, and that they were likely related to him.

However, having just entered Huiyang, it is indeed not the time to leave; one can only continue to cultivate in seclusion.

This continued for who knows how much longer. When Ju Yunxiu emerged from seclusion, the plantation that Qing Cha was in charge of had already sprouted another batch of new buds.

Liusu's soul power hadn't changed much; it seemed that devouring that remnant soul was no longer meaningful.

Qin Yi has almost completed the first level of the Core Formation and is about to reach the second level.

Li Qingjun was in a similar situation. After being in contact with the "door" for a long time, the initial shock had subsided, and once she got used to its existence, its effects weren't as quick to appear. She was also at the end of the first level of ascension, preparing to break through to the second level together with Qin Yi.

At this moment, Ju Yunxiu finally emerged from seclusion.

He proved the Dao of Qian Yuan through painting, becoming the world's first Qian Yuan painting practitioner. In a sense, this also represents a groundbreaking moment in the history of Immortal Dao, signifying the full formation and rise of a new Dao.

In fact, Qin Yi felt that after Ju Yunxiu the Qian Yuan level, she was likely to inspire other cultivators to understand her art. Her music and books might also soon reach the Qian Yuan Level of understanding.

That's not important anymore. What's important is that after Ju Yunxiu Qianyuan, he promised to Cloud Wandering.

"Are you really leaving?"

"We agreed... if you don't want me to leave, then I'll stay with you," Ju Yunxiu said reproachfully. "Is there something you haven't tried yet?"

After the Qian Yuan era, Ju Yunxiu remained unchanged; she lacked Ye Bieqing's ruthlessness and Li Duanxuan's high-class demeanor.

She was still that elegant and composed Senior Sister, only smiling gently when she saw him, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"No, no, actually I don't know many positions either..." Qin Yi sighed and said, "It's just that every time we part, I'm very reluctant to leave, even if I'm prepared in advance."

Ju Yunxiu tapped his head. "Looking at you, I really don't know how you cultivated to the Huiyang level. You have no carefree feeling at all, you're just sluggish and clingy."

"So I am Qin Yi, and not anyone else." Qin Yi put his arm around her waist and said coquettishly, "Let's stay a few more days."

"I'm afraid if I stay any longer, it's nothing else, but Qing Cha is already turning into a puppy." Ju Yunxiu picked up Qing Cha, who was lying on the side, and said, "If you don't want to experience what it's like to be a female cultivator of the Qian Yuan realm, then we should just go on a whim and not be coy."

Hearing this, Qin Yi became more relaxed and laughed, "How many passages did Senior Sister find?"

"Hmm, several, some of them connect to the underworld, and I even sensed one heading to the distant sea..."

"So, Senior Sister means... she wants to go to the other side of the sea?"

"Yes." Ju Yunxiu's eyes also held a hint of longing. "Across from us lies the Vast Continent, with customs and traditions different from those of Shenzhou. Separated by boundless waves, no one has ever crossed it. If I could see it with my own eyes, it would be enough."

Isn't this just a hopeless artsy type chasing after poetry and distant places...? Qin Yi knew his Senior Sister's little quirks, so he couldn't say anything.

This isn't some world where an unknown map makes you incredibly powerful. The Heavenly Dao is constant, and the hierarchy is fixed. Even the Heavenly Being are only at the Qian Yuan Wu Xiang level; how far can they go in the distant seas? Their overall strength is likely similar to that of the Divine Continent. Since Senior Sister has reached the Qian Yuan level, she'd practically be able to establish her own sect there; there's nothing to worry about.

Ju Yunxiu, however, began to worry about Qin Yi: "If I go, don't be so impulsive as to go out and cause trouble in Huiyang. If you really want to cause trouble for the Witch God Sect, have the Immortal Palace find a way to contact me. My identity token's location will be activated."

Qin Yi was speechless. "Even if it were opened, how could we possibly notify them across the vast ocean?"

"Yes, because I've reached the Qian Yuan stage." Ju Yunxiu smiled slightly. "Tell the Palace Master, and he can naturally communicate with me."

Qin Yi was taken aback. "Is Qian Yuan really that miraculous?"

"It's that amazing." Ju Yunxiu gently stroked his face and whispered, "If you were Qian Yuan, we might be able to communicate across the distance, and even if we were thousands of miles apart, it would be as if we were face to face."

Qin Yi's spirits lifted. Wasn't this just a long-distance video call?

"It's just the Qian Yuan era! Wait, let's see how many years it takes!"
