The Horse Is Yours?

Xi Yue is also returning to her sect.

No one knew that Xi Yue had been hiding in the clouds, afraid that Qin Yi would pull her aside and ask, "I'm Hui Yang, where's Minghe He?"

How could we possibly wait for him to come out and speak? We didn't even have time to leave.

She was speechless when she saw Qin Yi. The mention of the hundred-year Huiyang was just something she said casually, but at her level, every word was half a secret of heaven, and even casual remarks were very subtle. Excluding unconventional things like the "gate," the Huiyang period that Minghe should have originally had was about eighty or ninety years.

If you're not as fast as Minghe, then get out of here, and don't accuse me of Beat the Mandarin Ducks.

Having Minghe doesn't mean you can talk about it... For those who cultivate in seclusion, once a hundred years have passed and the Minghe itself has reached its radiant state, the entanglements of the mortal world will become fewer and fewer, and the Minghe itself will no longer have ripples. This is tantamount to a delaying tactic, cutting off the karmic ties at the root.

And then...

Is it ten years?

Was it Huiyang?

At this time, Minghe was still in seclusion. Minghe was cultivating while hugging Stone Stool. I don't even know if Huiyang has one. You are already at the second level of Huiyang and standing in front of me? You also have a stone pillar?

Few people know of the existence of this stone pillar. Even those who do know its origins and why it contains the Heavenly Dao.

Xi Yue was aware of the existence of the sect and had cultivated through it, but she did not know its origins.

The only person in the world who knows the origin and history of the stone pier is probably the Lord of the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace, the He Dao Zhenren. He is extremely secretive about it, and the Purple Star Hall of the Divine Palace is listed as Restricted Area. Apart from a very few people who are permitted to enter for cultivation, others don't even know what's inside.

Those who have witnessed the Stone Stool, like Xi Yue, must swear a solemn oath not to spread the word. She can tell Minghe because Minghe is qualified to enter and cultivate, He Dao Zhenren will not object.

Xi Yue could understand He Dao Zhenren's caution, because this thing was clearly a broken stump, indicating that there were other parts. Once others knew that such a divine object existed, such as Zuo Qingtian, the world would truly be Blood Rain and endless turmoil. Someone like Zuo Qingtian might even arrest all those suspected of being geniuses to see if their rapid cultivation was due to the existence of fragments.

That would create chaos...

Whether Myriad Images of the Universe's current integration of the Netherworld Realm also involves searching for this thing, Xi Yue is unsure.

In fact, Xi Yue knows more than He Dao Zhenren thinks.

At least Xi Yue knew that there were people in the heavens who had intervened Demon Calamity ten thousand years ago.

This thing must be related to those people.

The He Dao Zhenren must also be related to those people.

Even the existence of the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace is related to those people.

As for the nature of the connection, it's hard to say. Xi Yue couldn't understand some of the measures taken by He Dao Zhenren. They seemed to be deeply connected, yet also seemed to be intentionally separated.

Some of these measures are so outwardly apparent that even Zuo Qingtian says that your Celestial Pivot Divine Palace is contradictory.

We've gone off on a tangent.

Xi Yue didn't believe Qin Yi possessed Stone Stool; the karmic burden of that was too heavy for one person to bear. The world is full of unpredictable events; how could anyone know everything? The idea that rapid cultivation equates to having a stone pillar is utterly absurd. If he were lucky enough to be bathed in the Heavenly Evolution Radiance, he might be even faster—who could he complain to...?

However, it is possible that small fragments exist... In fact, small fragments have circulated in the world. Because they are small, they do not manifest many wonders, so those who obtain them do not know the extent of the karma involved. They are merely used as a Martial Cultivation acceleration aid, which has caused some disputes. Of course, in the end, they were all taken by He Dao Zhenren...

Anyway, Xi Yue doesn't dwell on this. If Qin Yi has it, so be it. It's his destiny. Whether he can withstand others' competition, or even... well, that's his own business.

Even a small fragment carries a heavy burden; I hope he can bear it.

Xi Yue found Qin Yi quite interesting. It was normal for someone Zuo Qingtian, who was at the same or higher level than her, to be difficult to calculate, and even at the Qian Yuan level, it wasn't so easy to calculate. But there were very few people who could make her unable to figure out the whole story despite such a large gap in their abilities, and Qin Yi was one of them, and a particularly typical one at that.

The things surrounding him were blurry, and even gave her a very dangerous sense of backlash. This feeling was inexplicable, like trying to calculate Taiqing... but not entirely. If you really tried to calculate Taiqing, you would definitely be seriously injured by the backlash, but he was fine. It was like a very dangerous ferocious beast in front of you, and no matter how you hit it, it would only bar its teeth and claws and glare at you angrily. It was so funny.

The most interesting thing is that he has both positive and negative sides.

It's like this: the person you want to kill is him, and the person you want to save is also him. He is both your enemy and your benefactor.

Of course, it's impossible to calculate such specific properties; it's just that there's this strange, contradictory feeling.

Not only him, but also everyone around him.

For example, Li Wuxian.

"In a few years, a hero will emerge in this world and shock the world. I thought it would be Minghe, but I didn't expect it to be this Li Wuxian..." Xi Yue stood on the cloud and murmured to herself, "Her fate... Qin Yi's fate... a group of strange people, a strange Southern Li."

Li Wuxian stood there quietly, watching Qin Yi slowly approach.

Qin Yi looked up at her, feeling quite strange.

This matter... to be honest, my little apprentice is really amazing.

As a mere Qin Xin cultivator, she's not much different from ordinary people, and she's so young. Even if she's smart enough to have learned from her father since she was in the womb, she's only been learning for thirteen years.

She actually dared to include all the behemoths like the Taiyi Sect, the Witch God Sect Celestial Pivot Divine Palace in her calculations.

In particular, the act of transferring the fortune of the enemy Taiyi Sect was a stroke of genius. The Witch God Sect, which was originally an ally, made a clean break, and the Taiyi Sect, which was originally an enemy, became a friend in the Taiyi Sect instant. This switch between friend and foe was played with such decisiveness and ruthlessness that even many seasoned politicians might not be able to be so skillful.

While her ultimate goal certainly involved a great deal of doing her best and leaving the rest to fate—something beyond her control—wasn't it also a gamble on her own destiny? And wasn't Qin Yi's intervention also a matter of fate for her?

She has done everything she could.

And the outcome was exactly as she had hoped. The Taiyi Sect had no face to interfere anymore, the Witch God Sect led its people to retreat, and the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace the Unseen.

The war in the Central Plains of the Great Qian Central Lands Wu Xian, and the world was brought back to the affairs of mortals.

Qin Yi believed that neither Xi Yue nor Zuo Qingtian seemed to be paying attention to the little girl; they must have known what was going on.

They don't think that her success was due to good luck or Qin Yi's intervention. In reality, Qin Yi was her background, and this was the cause and effect that should have been hers. Luck is also a part of strength, especially in a situation that is clearly using luck.

Her victory is her victory; the result is what matters.

Many powerful figures were outmaneuvered by a mere mortal girl, yet the outcome was exactly as she wished, a true victory of man over immortals, with all the gods retreating in fear.

Li Wuxian...

This little girl's name will spread throughout the cultivation world overnight.

Just then, Li Qingjun returned from who-knows-where and headed straight for the city wall.

Qin Yi was taken aback.

Qing Jun wasn't very good at hiding, so she wasn't allowed in, and she couldn't be of much help. She had assumed Qing Jun had been secretly protecting Wu Xian all along; where had she been since returning from outside?

The next moment he stopped in his tracks, stunned, looking at Li Qingjun standing before his niece, her expression icy and stern. "That horse, is it your messenger?"

Li Wuxian pursed her lips and looked up at her aunt.

The autumn wind swept by, scattering the clouds, and the atmosphere became tense.
