In the Dry Origin World, Divinity Palace cultivators could fly. The Immortal World's rules were stricter, and one had to be at least in the Dao Integration realm to be able to soar in the sky. Therefore, Su Yin couldn't fly yet.
If he wanted to travel, he could only ride a horse or a flying immortal beast.
That would be troublesome and a waste of time.
"How far is the Frigid Cloud Sect from here?"
"Tens of thousands of miles!"
Su Yin's mouth twitched.
With their speed, it would take less than half a year to travel tens of thousands of miles? If that was the case, it would be too late!
Even flying immortal beasts wouldn't be able to get there in a few days!
Seeing his worry, Shao Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Su. Although the Clear Origin Sect is only a small sect, we still have teleportation talismans. With two of them, we can reach the foot of the Frigid Cloud Sect in a few breaths!"
"Teleportation talismans?"
"It's a technique and inheritance left behind by the Space Saint, Su Xiuyi. As long as you activate the talisman at a specific location, you can teleport across space!"
Shao Qing said.
"Su Xiuyi?" Su Yin was stunned.
Didn't this guy call himself the Needle Saint? When did he become the Space Saint?
In his impression, he was a tailor who taught him how to sew and mend. Even his clothes were made under his guidance.
"What he meant by mending clothes was mending space. The so-called sky is like a curtain … So that's how it is!"
Soon, Su Yin understood.
When he entered the Immortal World, he had used the Violet Wood Immortal Hairpin to mend and pierce space. At that time, he had thought the Needle Saint might have something to do with space. However, he was still shocked to hear the words "Space Saint" in person.
"Yes, in order to become a Saint, he carved countless teleportation runes across the Immortal World. They can be used with special teleportation talismans. These talismans are very precious and expensive. However, the Clear Origin Sect has been around for more than a thousand years and has accumulated a lot of them … "
Shao Qing spoke tirelessly.
Before long, Su Yin understood.
The special runes Shao Qing spoke of were similar to the altars he had seen before. With a specific teleportation talisman, a dark passage could be formed and teleported through space. Even Golden Immortals and True Immortals wouldn't be injured.
It was somewhat similar to the sacrificial ceremony in the Jade Sea.
However, the location of the teleportation was specific. Just like the two teleportation stones in Shao Qing's hands, they could only teleport him to the foot of the Frigid Cloud Sect. Even if he wanted to go to other places, he couldn't teleport to them.
This was done to prevent the sects from being invaded quickly!
As they chatted, they arrived in front of the lines.
In the center of the Qingyuan Sect, there was a carving on top of a huge rock. It looked ancient and desolate, as if it had been used for many years.
"Was this left behind by Saint Su Xiuyi?" Su Yin asked curiously.
According to his understanding of the Immortal World, the Clear Origin Sect wasn't very strong. In the Qian Origin World, it was at most a second-rate sect in the Great Yan Province. In the Great Qian and Great Origin Provinces, most bandits wouldn't even give it a second glance.
Was such a small sect worthy of Su Xiuyi's special teleportation array?
"Of course not. Saint Su has been dead for a long time. We spent a lot of money to ask his descendants to leave this behind! As for these jade talismans, they were bestowed by the Frigid Cloud Sect. Otherwise, it would be impossible to directly teleport them to their sect! "
Shao Qing smiled.
Su Yin suddenly understood.
That made sense.
Su Xiuyi had been a remnant spirit for more than ten thousand years. How could she build a teleportation array for a sect that only had a thousand years of history? Naturally, it was left behind by her descendants.
Su Yin was puzzled again. "Didn't they say that there was a holy war? Since Saint Su was a loser, why would he leave behind a legacy? Didn't his opponents kill them all? "
According to the information he obtained from the remnant spirit, his opponents wanted nothing more than to kill them all. If that was the case, why would they leave behind a legacy?
"I don't know about that …" Shao Qing shook his head.
Seeing that he didn't know, Su Yin was just about to think about where to find these people who built the teleportation array when he heard Su Xiuyi's voice in his mind. "They want to steal our Saint Path!"
"Hmm?"
"After we die, our Saint Path will be empty. They can send their own people to cultivate our Great Dao … and then find an opportunity to replace us!" Su Xiuyi explained.
Su Yin was enlightened.
Killing people and robbing people of their Great Dao … They were indeed ruthless.
"It's best that you don't meet these people, and don't ask about them. There are probably many of them who have reached the peak and are just one step away. However, due to our remnant spirits, they can't succeed. Once they learn of your existence and know that you have occupied the position, they will do everything they can to kill you!"
Su Xiuyi warned.
"I understand!" Su Yin exhaled deeply.
This was a battle of Dao, and no one would give in. Even father and son could kill each other, let alone him. Once he was discovered, there was no way he could fight back.
After chatting for a while, Su Yin didn't ask any more questions. He held a token in each hand and walked to the center of the altar. At the same time, he activated the Zhen Yuan.
Weng!
The inscriptions under their feet were immediately activated, and a pitch-black passageway appeared before them.
"Let's go!"
Shao Qing took the lead and stepped out. Su Yin followed closely behind. At the same time, he secretly looked around.
"I can also inscribe such formation inscriptions and create talismans …"
He had learned how to create inscriptions and talismans, but back then, he thought that it was similar to sewing clothes and embroidering a pouch … The principle was similar to how he sewed up the spatial rift previously. By connecting the two spatial inscriptions, he could create a passageway that allowed people to pass through in a short period of time.
Now that he knew the method, he could easily create it. However, it involved the Dao of Space, so it was best for him to be careful. Otherwise, if he were to be targeted by the remnant spirits, he wouldn't even know how he died.
With his thoughts running wild, Zhang Xuan's body flickered, and in the next moment, he appeared before a mountain.
The mountain was extremely tall, and it pierced through the clouds. There were countless stone steps at the bottom that led to an unknown destination. At the very front of the mountain, a few female disciples looked at them warily.
"I am Shao Qing of the Clear Origin Sect. I am here to participate in the Spouse Selection Convention of the Frigid Cloud Sect.
Taking a step forward, Shao Qing took out the token that represented his identity and passed it over.
"Clear Origin Sect?" The female disciple at the front took a closer look at the token and verified the appearance of the person before her before nodding. "Let's go in … Where is this person?"
"He's an honored guest of our Clear Origin Sect, and he's also a good friend of mine.
Shao Qing hurriedly introduced.
"Let's go together. However, let me warn you in advance. This is the Frigid Cloud Sect, not a small sect like your Clear Origin Sect. Once you arrive at the residence, don't wander around without an invitation or order. Otherwise, if you are discovered, kill without mercy!"
The female disciple at the front raised her sword and spoke with a threatening tone.
"Yes!" Shao Qing hurriedly nodded.
The female disciples heaved a sigh of relief. Then, they took out two tokens and passed them over.
Walking up the stone steps, an hour later, they arrived at the top of the mountain. From afar, they could see a series of huge palaces sitting in the midst of the snow.
A huge gate stood in front of them, and the three words on it exuded a heart-palpitating pressure.
Frigid Cloud Sect!
A disciple walked up to them and passed them a jade token. Then, the two of them were brought to a small courtyard.
"May I know how many sects are participating in this Spouse Selection Convention? And how many fairies of our Frigid Cloud Sect are participating? "
Shao Qing asked softly as she stopped the female disciple who was leading the way and passed her some pills and herbs for cultivation.
Looking at the treasures in her hands, the female disciple's eyes lit up. She explained, "As far as I know, there are currently eighteen sects here, and only three fairies of our Frigid Cloud Sect will be participating in the convention …"
This wasn't a secret. It wouldn't take long for everyone to know about it, so there was nothing to hide.
"Eighteen sects? Three fairies? "
Shao Qing's face darkened.
"What's the Spouse Selection Convention?" Su Yin looked at her curiously.
"For a small sect like our Clear Origin Sect, if we want to have a better foothold in the Celestial World, we need a backer!"
Shao Qing explained. "For a thousand years, we've been providing medicinal herbs to the Frigid Cloud Sect, and we've gotten along well. As such, no one has dared to do anything to us. However, things have changed in recent years. The Qingyi Sect has appeared out of nowhere, and they're planting medicinal herbs as well. They'll replace our position at any time!"
To the Frigid Cloud Sect, the Clear Origin Sect was just a supplier of medicinal herbs. They couldn't replace them in the past, but now that there was another sect, they would naturally reconsider.
"There's only one way to change this precarious situation, and that's to form a marriage alliance with the Clear Origin Sect! Due to the large number of female disciples in the Frigid Cloud Sect, they'll hold a Spouse Selection Convention once every five years. Firstly, it's to stabilize the position of the subordinate sects. Secondly, it's to establish a good relationship with the Sanctum.
"The most outstanding Holy Maiden will naturally be married to the Sanctum. It'll be fine as long as we can marry a disciple …" Shao Qing said worriedly.
Their requirements were very low. They only needed to marry a female disciple, even if it was just a maid. However, there were only three female disciples participating in the Marriage Alliance among the eighteen sects. This meant that each sect only had a one-sixth chance of winning the Holy Maiden. This was going to be difficult!
"Let's just play it by ear. No one can say for sure when it comes to marriage!" Su Yin consoled.
Knowing that it was useless to overthink it, Shao Qing sighed and fell silent.
As a Golden Immortal realm 4-dan cultivator, he did not have any advantage over the other parties. Thus, he could only take things one step at a time.
The two of them chatted for a moment before Su Yin returned to the room that had been arranged for him. Zhen Yuan surged into the room and set up some seals to isolate him from prying eyes.
After doing so, Zhang Xuan immersed his consciousness into the Library of Heaven's Path.
"Teacher, you were looking for me?"
Su Yin asked as he looked at the lingering spirit before him.
Earlier, when he was chatting with Shao Qing, he had sensed the lingering spirit's agitation.
Even though the Frigid Cloud Sect was not one of the Sanctum, it still had some ties with the Sanctum. Without proper preparations, the lingering spirit would not dare to speak of it.
"Un." The lingering spirit before him nodded.
It was Song Yu.
"I can sense it. There's something in the Frigid Cloud Sect that belongs to me …"
"Saint body?"
Su Yin's eyes lit up in excitement.
As long as he could find the saint body of an Ancient Sage, he would be able to conceal himself from the world and exert fighting prowess on par with Half-Saint pinnacle cultivators. He had thought that it would be difficult to find such a thing, but could it be that he had found one as soon as he arrived?
If that was the case, his luck was way too good!
"It's not my body. It's a lock of my hair," Song Yu explained.
"Hair?" Su Yin frowned, his eyes filled with doubt.
The Frigid Cloud Sect was a sect that specialized in pill forging. Even if there was a lock of hair, it should have something to do with Pill Sage Wei Boyang.
Song Yu nodded. "Find a way to find it. Even if it's just a lock of my hair, you should be able to exert some of my strength and raise your cultivation to Dao Integration realm!"
"This …" Su Yin clenched his fists tightly.
Dao Integration realm cultivators were second only to Half-Saint cultivators. Putting aside the Qingyuan Sect, even the leader of the Frigid Cloud Sect might not be a match for them!
Su Yin shook his head in agitation. "I'm still too weak at the moment. It'll be difficult for me to find it …"
He was only at Heavenly True Immortal realm at the moment. Even in the Qingyuan Sect, he could only be considered as an ordinary inner disciple, let alone here.
Putting aside searching for it, it was likely that he would be discovered as soon as he stepped out.
"We don't have the ability to make a move either. You'll have to find a way yourself …"
Song Yu shook his head and said no more.
Su Yin was stunned. He looked at the other Remnant Consciousnesses and saw that they were all looking down with their heads lowered. He was speechless. "You should be able to tell me where the hair is and how I can find it, right?"
"You just have to use the fish rearing technique that I taught you, and you'll be able to sense its location. The closer you are, the stronger the feeling will be!" Song Yu waved his hand.
"Alright then …"
Su Yin replied as he recalled the fish rearing technique that Song Yu had imparted to him.
In order to raise fish, one had to know how to fish. However, fishing wasn't something that could be done with just a hook and bait.
Ordinary fish could do it, but some rare and precious fish were extremely shrewd. In order to catch them, one had to prepare everything in advance. What kind of bait did the other party like, the depth of the water, the temperature of the water, the weather, the current …
In short, fishing and rearing fish was not a simple matter. It was impossible to do it that easily.
As these memories flowed through his mind, Su Yin immediately became different from before. Even though his appearance and physique didn't change at all, his disposition had become much more elegant. From time to time, he would exude an aura of admiration.
Based on Song Yu's words, one had to pay attention to the packaging when fishing. If one was too sloppy, even if the fish were to take the bait, it wouldn't be easy to raise them.
Su Yin's disposition had changed, and his disposition had become more refined. Indeed, he could feel a sliver of unique energy that was constantly attracting him. It should be the hair that Song Yu spoke of.
"It's in that direction?"
Su Yin turned his head to look in that direction, and a bizarre expression immediately appeared on his face.
At the center of the Frigid Cloud Sect …
He was only at Heavenly True Immortal realm, and it wouldn't be easy for him to find unimportant places in the Frigid Cloud Sect without being noticed. The center of the Frigid Cloud Sect was a place that was heavily guarded by the sect. To ask him to look for it … You must be joking!
Most likely, he would be caught and cremated on the spot before he could even reach it …
Before he came here, the disciples guarding the sect had specially instructed him not to wander around the sect as he pleased. If he were to be discovered, he would be killed without mercy.
Just as Zhang Xuan was at a loss on what to do, he heard a knock on the door outside.
