The cultivators of Rhinoceros Mountain were only thinking about how to send Ran Xiushu and Tian Kun away as soon as possible, so they didn't want to fight them.
Although in the eyes of this generation, it was impossible for the two of them to contact the sects behind them after they ascended to this place, and they could be said to be alone, they were very clear about the power of flying swords. If the two of them didn't show any hostility, then they naturally wouldn't make the first move.
On the second day, this generation sent a cultivator with the surname Chi. He was also a mortal metamorphosis cultivator, but from the aura he revealed, he was far inferior to the two of them.
He seemed to be able to determine that there was some gap between him and the two of them, so his attitude was rather humble. After greeting them, he said with great regret, "I heard that the two of you are looking for the cave abodes of those Sword Immortals? I'm afraid you won't be able to do as you wish. "
Ran Xiushu wasn't unhappy at all. Instead, she looked as if she wanted to see what kind of excuse they could come up with. "Oh? Why is that? "
The cultivator with the surname Chi lowered his head slightly under his mocking gaze and sighed. "Those cave abodes were originally floating in the sky, and we've never been there before. It's just that after those Sword Immortals left, they disappeared without a trace. We don't know where they are either."
Naturally, this wasn't the truth. Those Sword Immortals didn't have just one cave abode back then. There were indeed a few that were floating in the sky, and it was suspected that they had left with the Sword Immortals. However, there were still a few abodes left on the continent.
It wasn't that these people didn't have any ideas about the cave abodes. They had tried to enter them to search for the secret sword cultivation technique, but there was still a strand of sword qi left in them. Until now, they still had no way to deal with it. Most importantly, they didn't know what exactly was left in there. If there was a way to open the door between the two worlds, then it was something they didn't want to see.
Thus, just yesterday, they set up layer after layer of restrictive formations outside, completely sealing this place.
Ran Xiushu didn't dwell on this issue and casually asked, "I sensed many cultivators entering and leaving the Heaven and Earth Door. Could it be that these fellow Daoists came from other realms?
The cultivator with the surname Chi didn't hide this. From their point of view, this was the realm of those Sword Immortals, so the sect definitely had records of it. They were just testing him now. If he didn't even dare to admit this, then it was clearly saying that there was something wrong with him.
He said, "Indeed. There are many doors between the two worlds in this realm, and from time to time, there are Outer Realm cultivators who come here."
Ran Xiushu asked, "Then, did my seniors also use this method to head to other domains?"
The cultivator surnamed Chi hurriedly said, "That's not the case. The door I spoke of originally existed here. After I entered this realm, it rarely changed. As for the place where those Sword Immortals went, there was originally no door there. However, those Sword Immortals used some unknown method to open one out of thin air. After they left, the door closed on its own and we don't know how to open it again."
"of we came from Realm of Of Tian," he he he said, "of to be of of Xiusi to say, and of Sect of Sect of Kto of Tian of. of we we came....
The cultivator with the surname Chi said, "Oh, Fellow Daoist, what you saw was a chess game of our generation." Speaking of this, he became interested. "Come, let me tell you. I'm an expert in this field.
He gave a more detailed explanation. Among these chess pieces, there were Wu Zis, Wen Zis, Jiang Zis, Emperor Zis, as well as the sons of the Hundred Craftsmen and Hermits. All the Upper Realm cultivators used these mortals as chess pieces to fight against each other. A single game of chess could last for hundreds of years and involve the rise and fall of many dynasties.
Ran Xiushu was puzzled. "What's the meaning of this?"
The cultivator with the surname Chi said, "It's fun. It's just like chess in the mortal world, but with mortals as the chess pieces and the world as the chessboard. The changes of the world are all within it." At this moment, he added, "This wasn't created by our generation. Rumor has it that it was passed down by a certain great expert."
Ran Xiushu snorted disdainfully at this. He really couldn't see the fun in manipulating a few mortals to fight here and there.
In his heart, pursuing the mysteries of the Great Dao and fighting with one's sword against one's opponent was supreme fun. Every time he passed a barrier and defeated an opponent, the feeling of accomplishment was indescribable. Therefore, he really didn't think much of this kind of practice.
Tian Kun watched from the side, not saying anything. Cultivation was all about seeking transcendence. Whatever one wanted to do, they could do it. Outsiders might think it was beneath them, but as long as they felt that it was good, it was fine.
There were also cultivators who played chess for fun. Just as he said, this was actually replacing the chess pieces with mortals.
However, he didn't like this kind of action because chess pieces were inanimate objects while mortals were living beings. However, he wouldn't oppose it because of this. After all, this wasn't the territory of Qincang School.
Ran Xiushu couldn't stand watching this, so she said, "Fellow Daoist, can you bring us to the few Doors of Heaven and Earth to take a look?"
Seeing that the two of them didn't dare to be interested, cultivator Chi felt very regretful. However, he still remembered the matter at hand, so he nodded and said, "Of course. Please follow me."
Under his lead, Ran Xiushu and Tian Kun arrived in front of a grand light screen. The edges of the screen gradually blended into the void. It could be seen that this place was originally suspended in midair, but later on, people built an altar that was thousands of miles wide below it. It looked very magnificent.
Cultivator Chi said, "This door is relatively stable. I don't know how many realms on the other side lead to this place, but the spiritual vigor of each realm is far inferior to ours. Therefore, when cultivators from other realms come here, they usually don't leave. Those who can come here are all first-rate grotto-heaven cultivators, so there aren't many of them.
Ran Xiushu took a glance. This Doors of Heaven and Earth could stand here for a long time. This didn't seem to be a method that a Mortal Metamorphosis cultivator could use. It could also be the work of an upper realm cultivator, but it could also be created by a Patriarch.
She said, "Relatively stable? In other words, there are still places that are unstable here? "
The cultivator surnamed Chi replied, "That's right. There are about a dozen of these doors. Some of them have been standing here for a long time while others disappear after a certain period of time. Then, they reappear after a certain period of time. It seems that there are quite a few of these doors."
Ran Xiushu said, "Can Fellow Daoist take me to that place to take a look?"
Cultivator Chi didn't mind. He immediately led the two of them to another Door of Heaven and Earth. He pointed and said, "This door disappears every three hundred years and reappears after another three hundred years. It has been here for more than two hundred years. Perhaps it won't be long before it disappears again."
There was something he didn't say here. Although one could leave this realm, it didn't mean that one could return. Previously, his companions had gone in to investigate, but they didn't find anything. Because they didn't have the courage to go to the other side, they couldn't confirm whether the person was dead or alive.
After that, Ran Xiushu was led to the other Doors of Heaven and Earth. However, the two of them seemed to lose interest after that. They took out a flying boat and said that they wanted to go sightseeing, so they didn't need Cultivator Chi to accompany them.
Cultivator Chi didn't force them. After bidding farewell to the two of them, he returned to his cave residence. Then, he shifted his consciousness and entered an unknown place. A moment later, True Gourd's figure appeared and asked, "Fellow Daoist Chi, how is the situation?"
Cultivator Chi pondered for a moment and said, "From what I can see, the two of them don't seem to have any desire to find their ancestor's cave residence. Instead, they are more interested in the Outer Realm and Outer Realm. They have taken a look at almost all the Doors of Heaven and Earth."
True Gourd's spirits rose slightly and he said, "If that's really the case, it's good news."
Cultivator Chi said, "There's one more thing. From what I saw today, one of them is undoubtedly a sword cultivator. However, I don't think the other one has such a background."
True Gourd's thoughts quickly spun. They were most afraid of flying swords, but if there was only one sword cultivator, would it be possible …
He thought for a moment and suppressed this thought.
Since the other person was able to travel together with a sword cultivator, he must be quite powerful. Now that the two of them could leave, there was no need to cause any more trouble.
On the flying ship, Ran Xiushu looked at the magnificent scenery around him and said, "Today, when I used the sword orb to travel between heaven and earth, I sensed several strands of sword qi buried here. However, they were surrounded by layers of restrictive formations. Our Shaoqing cultivators' cave residences never have any restrictive formations. Whenever danger approaches, the swords will automatically sense it. Therefore, this should be the doing of this person."
Tian Kun asked, "What do you intend to do, Fellow Daoist?"
Ran Xiushu said, "I've more or less explored this area. I'll go back to the Mountain and Sea Realm and report this matter. Then, the sect will make a decision."
He guessed that the clues to the whereabouts of the Seniors could only be found in those cave residences. However, he was actually not enthusiastic about these things. Those people were ascended in the first place. It would be good if he could meet them, but it did not matter if he could not. On the other hand, the people here had actually occupied the place where Shaoqing had ascended. This made him impatient to bring back this news.
Since he had no objections, Tian Kun took out a talisman and unfolded it. In the blink of an eye, a spiritual light spread out, and the flying ship entered it.
The two of them felt their vision blur for a moment, and then the scenery around them changed. They were back in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Because they had to report to the Elders of the sect, the two of them bowed and said their goodbyes.
After Ran Xiushu left the flying ship, he broke through heaven and earth and headed toward the Half-Realm.
In order to prevent cultivators from beyond the Heavens from invading the Half-Realm, Ying Chunqiu was still standing guard here. Qing Chenzi was in charge of everything in the sect. If that weren't the case, Qing Chenzi would have been the one to go instead of Ran Xiushu.
Ran Xiushu followed the aura and quickly arrived in front of Ying Chunqiu's platform. After bowing to her master, she told him everything that had happened.
Ying Chunqiu listened and thought for a long time. Then he said in a deep voice, "Our Shaoqing Sect doesn't have many people, and we have a base on the Kun Shi Continent. We don't lack external objects or spiritual opportunity. It doesn't matter if we have one more or one less place."
After a pause, he said in a more serious tone, "It's just that this place is very likely to have been passed down by the patriarch, and it's possible that there are some things left behind by the patriarch. Disciple, take my Jade Talisman back to the sect and gather everyone. As long as you can get this place back, you can do whatever you want. "
