In the depths of Xiaowei Lake on the Ziying Continent, in a secret palace of the Lishan Sect, Matriarch Yu Ling had been cultivating ever since she returned to the sect.
During the past few hundred years, she had felt that her cultivation had progressed rapidly, and that she hadn't encountered any obstacles in her cultivation.
One of the main reasons was that the Mountain and Sea Realm was flourishing with Spirit Qi. There was plenty of Spirit Qi here, enough for her to cultivate freely. Furthermore, when she had been trapped in the World of Imprisonment, she had gained something. At the very least, her Dao heart had been tempered.
Another reason was that the Mountain and Sea Realm was now filled with Dao discussions. There was no lack of Mortal Metamorphosis Almighty Beings who would impart their experiences and techniques. In the past, the various sects had kept such things to themselves, and could only rely on the teachings of the sects to pass them on and exchange them with other Daoists. Now, although they weren't freely available, there were many more ways to acquire them.
As of now, she had severed her past body and entered the second stage.
She was currently planning for her next step.
However, this was a bit difficult. Cultivators who had severed their past and future bodies were few and far between. Furthermore, at this point in her cultivation, all of her previous accumulations had been used up.
Just as she was thinking, a strange expression appeared on her face, and she muttered, "It's happening again."
Over the past few years, she had always felt a power calling out to her. Furthermore, there was some sort of destiny involved, and if she could obtain it, she might be able to reach a higher realm.
However, her cultivation wasn't strong enough, and even if she went, she would most likely get nothing. Furthermore, she had always been on guard against the master of the World of Imprisonment, and didn't want to go there again. Therefore, she didn't pay much attention to it.
After a while, the feeling faded. Just as she was about to continue sitting, a disciple came to report, "Matriarch, there is a Daoist outside. He says he is an old friend of yours."
Yu Ling had already sensed who it was, and said, "Invite him in for a chat."
Not long after, Hong You walked in.
Yu Ling greeted him, and after a few words of greeting, she asked, "Fellow Daoist, why have you come to my place?"
Hong You said, "Have you sensed any destiny from beyond the Heavens?"
Yu Ling's expression was indifferent. "Of course I've sensed it. However, I have no fate with this trip, and I have no desire to seek it."
Hong You looked at her, and knew that she had made her decision. He didn't say anything more, but bowed again and left.
Yu Ling didn't ask him to stay. He just stared at the void with his hands behind his back. No one knew what he was thinking.
After Hong You left Li Mountain Sect, he headed towards the far west. Very quickly, he came to a wide flat land. He knew that this place was originally barren, but now it was covered by a lush forest. It was like a green carpet that stretched to the ends of the world. In the very center, there was a huge tree, and it was the place where Daoist Pan Qi cultivated.
After hundreds of years, Coiling Qi had recovered a lot, but it had not returned to its original level. However, his past knowledge and even cultivation experience were all there, so it was only a matter of time.
At this moment, he was fiddling with a flower seedling in high spirits, but he seemed to have sensed something. He walked to the door and waved his sleeve to remove the restriction, only to see a Daoist with two swords on his back standing there. He couldn't help but reveal a pleasantly surprised expression, and he raised his hand to greet, "So Fellow Daoist Hong You is here, why didn't you inform me in advance? Come, come, come sit in the inner room. "
Hong You cupped his hands and said, "Sorry for the disturbance."
Pan Qi smiled, "What are you saying? When old friends meet, how can we not receive good tea?"
At this time, Hong You seemed to want to say something, but Pan Qi waved his hand at him, smiling, "I know that Fellow Daoist is here for something, but if you are not in a hurry, let me first show my hospitality as a host, then we can talk about other things. How about it?"
Hong You glanced at him and nodded his head.
Pan Qi immediately gave an order to a servant boy beside him. After a while, a servant came over with a tea tray. There were two green jade teacups on the tray, and a few tender and fine leaves could be seen floating in the tea. White steam rose from the teacups, forming the shape of a dragon horse. It galloped in the air, and from time to time, the roars of dragons and neighs of horses could be heard.
Pan Qi reached out to hold the jade cup in front of him, lifting his sleeve and saying, "Fellow Daoist, please."
Hong You thanked him, picking up the cup and taking a sip. His expression was slightly moved. This tea actually contained Clear Purple Medicine, and it was rich and rich. After drinking it, it spread throughout his body, and he didn't need to refine it at all. He couldn't help but nod and say, "Good tea."
Pan Qi said, "It is good that Fellow Daoist likes it. This is a tea tree that I personally planted after coming here. After hundreds of years, it has finally grown a bit. Later, I will have a disciple give some to Fellow Daoist, so that you can enjoy it when you go back."
The Taihao Lineage's method was originally good at planting. In terms of methods to nurture and refine spirit tea, besides the mighty upper realm cultivators, there weren't many places in the ten thousand worlds that could compare.
The two of them talked about how they had parted, and then Pan Qi pulled Hong You out to the top of the tree. With their eyesight, they could see where the Shaoqing Mountain Gate was if they stood there and looked back. They could only see the boundless Sword Qi shooting into the sky. Even the stars in the sky were torn apart.
The two looked for a while, and then felt a slight pain in their eyes. They seemed to be able to feel several consciousnesses descending here, and then retracted.
Their gazes moved again, and in a boundary slightly south, they saw a large scale thunder cloud. From time to time, they could see lightning flashing, and lightning snakes slithering.
Pan Qi said, "That is the boundary of Huanzhen Temple. Under the leadership of Sect Master Zhang, this sect is also prospering. Although it is not as good as the Shaoqing Sect, it is still a good atmosphere."
Hong You glanced in the direction of the Lishan Sect. The Qi there was like a blooming flower, but compared to the Shaoqing Sect and Huanzhen Sect, it was still a far cry.
At this time, Pan Qi reached up and pointed to the distant sky, saying, "Fellow Daoist, look over there."
Hong You looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that there were several heavenly stars there. At first glance, there was nothing strange, but when he looked again, he could see that there were vines connected to each other, and they were even extending to the heavenly stars in the distance.
"This is …"
Pan Qi said, "The various sects are all grand and magnificent, and I am no weaker than any of them. Once these Heavenly Star Pearls are all linked together, I will be able to build bridges, plant flowers and trees, move mountains and rivers, and create a land similar to the Mountain and Sea Realm. That will be the foundation of the Taihao Realm."
Hong You looked for a while, and then nodded, saying, "Fellow Daoist, this is a great work."
He could see that this was not only a cave, but also related to Pan Qi's own cultivation. After this place was successfully built, it was very likely that this person would be able to sever his past and future bodies.
The two discussed the Dao on the top of the tree for several days, and then Pan Qi asked Hong You why he came.
Hong You said, "Before coming here, I visited Tai Heng and Yu Ling, two Daoist friends. You are the last one."
Pan Qi was startled, and then slowly said, "Did Daoist friend come because of that feeling?
Hong You said, "Yes, Daoist friend. Do you want to come with me?"
Pan Qi sighed, "My cultivation has not recovered, and I fear it will be difficult for me to enter the Heavenly Gate. Daoist friend, you have found the wrong person."
Hong You said, "That feeling is intermittent and continuous. If I am not wrong, those who entered the Imprisoned World and then escaped should all have some sort of destiny. If Daoist friend really wants to seek the Dao, then there is no harm in going a few days later."
Pan Qi couldn't help but feel a bit moved, but then he seemed to think of something. He looked up and said, "Daoist friend, do you really believe that it was destiny?"
Hong You said frankly, "There are no absolutes in this world."
Pan Qi said, "Then Daoist friend still dares to go? Back then, you imprisoned me and turned me into a stone statue, unable to escape. Even if I go now, I fear it may not be as you wish. "
Hong You said bluntly, "My generation cultivates to fight for a thread of fate. Even if we know there is danger, we must still try. Didn't you and I both come through like this? It is just that after that incident, Daoist friend, you have lost your drive. "
Pan Qi looked forward and said, "Daoist friend is right. I cultivate to seek immortality. Immortality is already in front of me, so what more can I ask for? Moreover, I know that my cultivation has reached this point, and my potential has been exhausted. I don't dare to ask for more. "
Hong You said, "I have disturbed you for a long time. I will take my leave now."
Pan Qi sincerely urged him to stay, "Daoist friend, it is rare for you to come here. Don't you want to stay for a few days?"
Hong You said, "No, Daoist friend has your Dao, and I have mine. Let us part here."
Pan Qi said, "Wait a moment, Daoist friend." He gave an order to someone beside him, and a moment later, a disciple came over with a jade pot. With a thought, this thing floated in front of Hong You, "Daoist friend, please accept this pot of tea."
Hong You didn't refuse. This tea could be used as a great medicine for Ziqing, and its effect was even better. He thanked him, bowed, and left on the clear light.
In the Void Essence Sea, inside the Mystic Space Realm.
Bai Wei's brows were tightly furrowed. In the past few hundred years, following the rise of the Yan Sect, the demons and other races had become increasingly difficult to endure. It was fine if they obeyed the human dao, but if they were unwilling to obey and did the slightest harm to the living, they would be executed.
This also caused the other races to be unprecedentedly united. However, this was of no use. Before the glorious general trend of the human dao, there was no room for resistance.
Especially after Yuan JIngqing refined the Demon Suppressing Heavenly Net, killing demons and demons became abnormally easy. Even if it was a great demon, as long as a cultivator could gather a wisp of the demon's aura, then they could be killed.
Many cultivators even used this as a threat to establish a contract with a great demon, commanding it to serve their sects. After all, demons that entered a sect, as long as they didn't harm people before and didn't do evil in the future, then they wouldn't be erased by the heavenly net.
He had once had the intention to use karma to destroy this item, but the other was Zhang Yan's disciple. If he dared to have such thoughts, he would probably be discovered before he could carry them out.
Now, he could only endure. Only when the three eras of human dao had passed would there be a chance for the demons and other races to rise.
Just as he was calculating like this, there was suddenly a trace of a feeling in his heart. This feeling seemed to be somewhat related to Zhou Huanyuan Jade.
His expression shook. Could it be that another Yuan Jade was about to enter the world?
However, after a series of calculations, he discovered that this was not the case. This opportunity actually originated from an unfathomable place beyond the heavens. No matter how he peered, he couldn't find any clues, and even felt like he was sinking into it.
He couldn't help but shiver, and hurriedly withdrew his mind.
As the true Yang Yuan Zun, a power that even he couldn't touch must be above his own. He could sense it, and perhaps it was intentionally leaked by the other.
He thought about it carefully. At present, his own dao was weak, and this was still a chance. He might as well send his disciples to try. Thus, he waved his sleeve, and two beams of spiritual light flew toward two disciples he was proud of.
