"I got it." Xie Cheng Dong deactivated the talisman, his face expressionless. The rain was getting heavier. Looking out, he could barely see the lanterns in the distance. The sound of raindrops hitting the leaves of the trees could be heard. Xie Cheng Dong calmed himself down and saw that there were people drinking. It was the guests, and some of them were already drunk.
He then took out a black mask and put it on. In a flash, he was already out in the rain. He was still feeling indignant.
The wind and rain were very strong. Pei Zi Yun sat in a room at the back and did not participate in the commotion outside. He only had a plate of beef and a plate of peanuts to drink alone. He ignored the music and the voices outside and ignored them. All he did was call out, "System!"
A Plum Blossom appeared in front of him and grew bigger. It became a translucent information interface. It floated in front of his eyes as numbers appeared.
"Yin Master: Fourth Level (102.3%)"
"The last time I drank a cup of Gao Shunyi's spiritual wine, I managed to reach 97%. Now that I've waited for a few days, it's finally complete."
"Yin Master – Materialization, Ascension, Night Roaming, Removal of Records, Longevity. Once I reach the fifth level, I can roam the underworld freely. Once I am removed from the underworld, I will no longer be listed in the Book of Life and Death."
Pei Zi Yun sighed as he stretched out his hand. He could feel strands of spiritual energy being absorbed by his Yin Master. In the blink of an eye, his Yin Master was growing rapidly. He could sense it from tens of meters away.
"Just a simple outing."
Pei Zi Yun thought to himself as he felt his body lighten. Everything before him had changed.
He was still in the same room, but it was now grey and hazy. He could see his own body, breathing weakly. His eyes were closed, as if he was asleep.
"Night Roaming!" Pei Zi Yun understood what was happening. He stretched out his hand and realized that he could not touch anything. He hesitated for a while before reaching the door.
"The Daoist scriptures say that the first time a person roams, they cannot leave the room."
At this point, a light breeze blew past. The wind was weak, but Pei Zi Yun's body trembled. It was as if he was in the middle of a strong gust of wind.
"This is just the wind, there's another tribulation."
"Don't look at the room as it was before. Outside is the spiritual world. If I step out, I might get lost."
'The most important thing is that there might still be thunder and lightning. This isn't a good time to travel.' Pei Zi Yun thought to himself. Without hesitation, he returned to his own body.
However, just as he was about to return, his expression changed as he turned to look in a certain direction. Without hesitation, he returned to his own body and sat up.
"There's an aura sneaking in. If not for the fact that I've advanced to the fifth level and my spirituality has greatly increased, I wouldn't have noticed it. Who is it?"
Pei Zi Yun touched his sword and laughed coldly. He then continued eating the beef with his chopsticks. After finishing a piece, he wiped his mouth and disappeared.
In the next moment, Pei Zi Yun appeared in the middle of the courtyard. He unsheathed his sword and threw it on the ground. He then spoke in a low voice, "Uninvited friend, come out."
The rain started to fall, and the water in the courtyard started to bubble, slowly flowing into the ditch. Pei Zi Yun looked in a direction, and was about to speak when a 'peng' sound was heard as a black robed man appeared.
The moment the black robed man appeared, Pei Zi Yun paused. He felt as if the black robed man had merged with the darkness of the night and the rain, as if he was one with the heavens and earth.
"One with the heavens?" Pei Zi Yun nodded his head and shook his head, "So it's an expert from a Daoist sect."
There was a limit to a person's strength, and it was impossible for him to connect the heavens and earth. However, 'God' was able to deceive the senses.
"You don't seem to agree?" The black robed man spoke, his voice was unfamiliar.
"A little. I've met someone before, and he liked to put the concepts of 'Inaction', 'Nature' and 'One with the Heavens' into his martial arts." Pei Zi Yun then recited, "With Mount Tai on his back, his wings were like the clouds in the sky. He carried the clouds for ninety thousand miles, and carried the blue sky on his back."
At this point, he paused and said plainly, "Of course he was a fake. After that, a man who was pulling a cart got annoyed and beat him up. Even his teeth fell out."
"Of course you're a thousand times better than him, but you're not the real deal either."
"The so-called 'One with the Heavens', the so-called 'Inaction', the so-called 'Nature', all of these are just illusions created by the enemy."
"Your actual speed, strength, and sword techniques, have you seen any improvement?"
"You've even grown three heads and six arms?"
"As long as you understand this, the so-called 'One with the Heavens' isn't worth a single coin."
"Why is it that when Daoist experts fight one on one, they become like dogs and cats the moment they meet an armored soldier? That's the reason. "
"The armored soldiers don't care what state you're in. When they unsheathe their blades, they're invincible. You have 'One with the Heavens', I have my mace. If you have 'One with the Heavens', I have my mace. If you have 'One with the Heavens', I still have my mace."
"Don't even talk about the fact that the soldiers under orders have the Qi to defend against your Dao techniques. Even if they don't, how many of them can you infect with your Dao techniques?"
"Under the mace, even their skulls would shatter. Under the flurry of blades, even an expert would die."
"Unless you've really connected the heavens and the earth, and your state of mind has turned into that of thunder and lightning. That's the Earth Immortal Stage right?"
"Even if that's the case, even an Earth Immortal has its limits. If you think you're great, you'll still die if you're surrounded. Over the past few thousand years, there have been Daoists like you who have tried to do the same. Don't you agree?"
The black robed man listened quietly. When Pei Zi Yun finished, he sighed, "What a straightforward and insightful speech. But I'll say it again. You have to try your Dao techniques before you have the right to speak."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Zi Yun's vision turned black. It was as if the entire rainy night was magnified. The entire earth disappeared, and he became a raindrop floating in the air, as if he would never land on the ground.
This feeling of terror was something he had only experienced in his previous life when he read about black holes.
Pei Zi Yun laughed coldly, and his sword flashed.
"Zheng zheng zheng" In an instant, the sword flashed and hit a raindrop. The raindrop turned into another sword flashed and intertwined with each other. The moment it touched, the two figures separated.
Following that, the sword flashed and the man disappeared. The rainy night continued, but the state of mind had yet to be broken.
"With me around, there's no one …" Pei Zi Yun's silhouette slanted, and the sword flashed from the right. His silhouette flickered, and suddenly clashed.
"Zheng!" Sparks flew as Pei Zi Yun's sword slashed through the air in a dazzling manner. Without any hesitation, he chased after the shadow of the man.
"The courtyard is only three feet wide. You're only seven feet tall, where can you hide? Die!"
"Just like how the government dealt with Daoists, even if you have a way to hide, with hundreds of crossbows shooting at the same time, you're dead."
"Zheng zheng zheng!" The sword flashed, and the two figures separated.
Pei Zi Yun stopped, and a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. The black robed man stepped on the water, and disappeared into the distance.
Pei Zi Yun's face darkened, and he did not give chase. The rain fell on his face, and gathered around his neck, and flowed down his trousers to the ground.
A bolt of lightning flashed, and lit up everything. Pei Zi Yun's clothes were torn, and blood dripped from his wounds.
"Drought Rain Technique!" Pei Zi Yun wiped the blood on his body, and the wounds quickly turned into red lines. His face darkened as he returned to the eaves, and looked at the three sword wounds.
The entrance was not deep, but this was the first time he had met someone who was on par with him in terms of sword techniques.
Be it in the previous or current life, he had never heard of such a person.
"Damn it, who is this person?" Pei Zi Yun closed his eyes and thought. Although he had some guesses, he was still puzzled, "If it's Xie Cheng Dong, the original owner's memories do not have such sword techniques."
"No, no, the original owner has never seen his sword techniques."
"Xie Cheng Dong? Why did he avoid me? Could it be that there's something here that I haven't thought of? "Pei Zi Yun paced a few steps," If that's the case, what is it? "
"Who else has their eyes on the Dragon Veins Map?"
"It's a mess, the truth is unclear, and I can't think straight." Pei Zi Yun sighed, and returned to his room. He lit up the extinguished candle.
The room was dark, and there was no one around. Pei Zi Yun took out the two Dragon Veins Maps, and put them together, forming the Dragon Veins Map.
Everything under the heavens was within the map. Looking at it, Pei Zi Yun understood.
"But this isn't too rare. Dragon Qi can form an acupoint, and the slightest difference can lead to a difference of a thousand miles. After thousands of years, there have been countless versions of the Dragon Veins Map."
"It can be said that when the dynasty unified the lands, the value of this map was only for reference. If one were to follow the instructions of the map, it might not even have any effect."
"No wonder Fang Yong Jie handed it over so easily."
"It's just that I'm not looking for a dragon." Pei Zi Yun's gaze swept across the map. Every single dragon was marked, except for one spot. Pei Zi Yun reached out and touched it, "Could it be here?"
The spot where Pei Zi Yun touched was the border of Ying, Yong and Ding Prefectures, Wang Yu Mountain!
"Wang Yu Mountain!"
"The map is simple, but with a direction, I can go check it out."
"Let's set off tomorrow morning!"
Official Road
Xie Cheng Dong led his horse and leapt up, riding in the rain. At this point, the rain had lessened, and he couldn't see clearly. He couldn't see his face, and could only touch it.
His shirt was torn open, and inside was a red line. The bleeding had already stopped.
"How powerful!"
"The assessment this time was meaningful. This is the first time I've seen him face to face."
"Pei Zi Yun's martial arts and sword techniques are about the same level as mine. His cultivation level doesn't have much effect on him. He's too intelligent, and saw through the flaws of these thousands of years."
"Pei Zi Yun's Dao Arts are at the fifth level of the Yin Master level. How terrifying. Could it be that Free Cloud Mountain Paradise has such a strong support for the Sect Leader?"
"However, my Dao Arts are still above him. It's just that the moment I use my Dao Arts, unless I can kill him, I'll be exposed."
"Killing Pei Zi Yun would be difficult, unless I'm willing to suffer a severe injury. But before I achieve Dao, I cannot suffer such a heavy injury."
Xie Cheng Dong pondered for some time before laughing, "Since that's the case, should I go back and support King Lu in his ascension to the throne, and use the Dragon Qi to become an Earth Immortal?"
"No, of course that's the right path. However, I have a feeling that Pei Zi Yun's arrival here wasn't a coincidence. I have to wait a little longer."
