A Contest from Afar
Li Miaoxuan smiled sarcastically, "Is that why so many people within the Sect hope to bring about my affair with Xiao Yunqi of the Yunmeng Holy Land?"
"If we can gain the support of the Yunmeng Holy Land, at least most of the villains will not dare to act rashly during the Great Chaos Tribulation. However, as long as you do not agree, no one can force you. Even though my Lingxu Sect has declined considerably, it has not reached the point where it needs its own Sect to make such sacrifices." A cold glint flashed in Yun Yinghe's eyes.
"Thank you, Master!" Li Miaoxuan bowed deeply. In the Lingxu Sect, many troubles were resolved by her Master, including the last time she entered the Secret Realm for cultivation. Even though she was exceptionally talented, she came from the Floating World and was still relatively inexperienced. This opportunity was not originally hers, but she was fortunate to have Yun Yinghe's help.
Yun Yinghe said, "This matter has blown up too much. Tomorrow, the Sect Master may personally inquire about it, and some people might make things difficult for you on the spot. You must be careful. Of course, your master will certainly not let anything happen to you, but I'm afraid you will inevitably suffer some grievances."
Li Miaoxuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Master, this disciple is prepared to request permission to enter the Outer Realm Battlefield."
"What?" Yun Yinghe's expression changed upon hearing this, and she resolutely refused, "No, with your talent, achieving Yin-Yang mastery is only a matter of time. You've only cultivated for a hundred years; entering the Outer Realm Battlefield is far too early for you."
Li Miaoxuan knelt on the ground. "I never expected this matter to escalate to such a great extent. The Sect Master is about to break through to the Chaos Realm, and Senior Brother Li has always been on good terms with the Yunmeng Holy Land. They will inevitably bring up old matters again. Even if I refuse, I will still be seen as someone who doesn't care about the bigger picture. All the Sect's Celestial Person must enter the Outer Realm Battlefield, and I am no exception. Moreover, entering the Outer Realm Battlefield at this time is also to avoid trouble!"
Yun Yinghe frowned, and after a moment, said, "With your talent, as soon as you enter the Outer Realm Battlefield, you will inevitably be targeted by the Extraterrestrial Demon. The danger you face is far greater than for others, which is why I have always prevented you from entering."
Li Miaoxuan said, "The Heavenly Change Realm only requires being within the Three Lines of Defense, but entering the Yin-Yang requires venturing to the outer lines. If I don't take this opportunity to train and familiarize myself with the combat methods of the Extraterrestrial Demon, I'm afraid it will be even more dangerous then."
Yun Yinghe's expression was complicated. Although Li Miaoxuan's words made some sense, the Yin-Yang Realm and the Heavenly Change Realm were completely different concepts. On the Outer Realm Battlefield, although most Heavenly Change Cultivator were stationed at the rear, they suffered the most casualties.
Each of the Yin-Yang Great Cultivator is a major combat force; the death of even one would be a significant loss. However, their mutual cooperation and coordination actually minimize casualties. Moreover, the Yin-Yang Realm has far more means of self-preservation, and some can even be resurrected with a single drop of Essence Blood, a feat unmatched by the Heavenly Change Realm.
"Actually, Xiao Yunqi the Yunmeng Holy Land would also be a good choice to Achieving the Dao partner with. Why would you rather enter the Outer Realm Battlefield than Achieving the Dao partner with him?"
Li Miaoxuan said, "When I leave the Floating World, I leave this Cage. How could I possibly enter another Cage? Besides, I already have a husband and children. How could I possibly Achieving the Dao Daoist partnership with an outsider!"
Yun Yinghe said, "Since you have already been to the Lower Realm, you should know that even if your mortal husband and children are still alive, this realm is already facing World Conflict. If you win, it will become the Exquisite World, and Cultivator from the Cultivation World will find it extremely difficult to even meet with it. If you lose, you will fall into the Demon Realm and never be able to escape."
"So you already knew about this, Master." Li Miaoxuan was slightly taken aback.
"I did know that all along, but I didn't want it to affect your cultivation, Miaoxuan. You should know that your ties with them are severed, like the difference between Celestial Person and earth. You should see through that."
Li Miaoxuan suddenly smiled, "Whether I win or lose in the World Conflict, there's always a way out. If I can't get in, it's only because my cultivation isn't high enough. If Yin-Yang don't work, then I'll become Huntian Heaven cultivator. If Huntian doesn't work, then I'll try becoming Immortal. Besides, I believe they won't lose so easily!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Yinghe sighed, "Regarding the matter of entering the Outer Realm Battlefield, please consider it carefully again. Tomorrow is the day of the final decision, so don't act impulsively."
Deep in the North Sea, an old man in Hemp Robe sat casually atop a yellow ox, drifting gracefully across the Horizon.
Occasionally, Cultivator would ride by on their Sword Light, but they would ignore him.
The Old Yellow Ox may appear to be strolling, but in reality, each step it takes covers several miles.
He seemed to be walking aimlessly, but every now and then he would look up at the Horizon, his eyes swirling with a sense of Heavenly Secrets change.
Before he knew it, he had completed a tour of the North Sea.
He muttered to himself, "That's not right. Judging from the celestial phenomena, it should be right here!"
The old man in Hemp Robe strolled around leisurely, then took out a Compass, made hand Method Formula, chanted True Word, and probed up and down from time to time.
At this moment, Gu Yuanqing also noticed this person.
Even though Gu Yuanqing was the first to discover the ingenuity of this person's concealment technique, under the influence of North Spring Mountain's power, nothing could escape his discerning eyes.
Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly. This person's cultivation was extremely high, and his entire body was concealed by a mysterious aura, making it impossible to detect his Body Cultivation level without alerting him.
Moreover, he is clearly proficient in the art of Heavenly Secrets, and his repeated appearances seem to indicate that he is searching for the existence of Qian Yuan Island.
"Could this person be connected to the Yunmeng Holy Land?"
Gu Yuanqing did not make a move. His cultivation was also on the verge of a breakthrough, and he did not want to cause any more trouble. If this person was really from the Yunmeng Holy Land, regardless of his cultivation level, even if he captured him, he could deduce the approximate location of Qian Yuan Island simply by looking at the place where he disappeared.
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
Ideally, he would retreat if he couldn't find Qian Yuan Island!
However, Gu Yuanqing's idea was clearly wrong. The old man wandered around several times and appeared in the sky above Qian Yuan Island more and more frequently, indicating that he had roughly located the Qian Yuan Island.
Sure enough, at noon that day, the old man in Hemp Robe's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, "So this is where it is!" Then he rode his yellow ox down.
As the Array Formation on Qian Yuan Island shifted, the old man's figure moved forward and backward, his hand Hand Seals creating illusory images. He walked along the Gate of Life the entire way, without triggering the Array Formation in the slightest.
Gu Yuanqing repeatedly changed the Array Formation, but only managed to force them back.
In the blink of an eye, the old man in Hemp Robe seemed to have found a new path.
Gu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow; this person's mastery of Array Formation was simply unbelievable!
He gradually applied everything he had True Explanation of Great Changes Formations to Qian Yuan Island, but it seemed that his opponent saw through it all in the blink of an eye.
Gu Yuanqing continuously altered the Array Formation using the power of North Spring Mountain, while the old man in Hemp Robe quickly broke through it.
The two seemed to be having a competition from afar, one posing a question and the other providing an answer!
The old man in Hemp Robe naturally realized that the Array Formation wasn't operating naturally, but rather being manipulated. Instead of being surprised, he was delighted and laughed, "Old Man, very interesting! It's been a long time since I've encountered anyone who can rival me in the Array Formation!"
