The Heavens: Falling Ink From Douluo

Chapter 1637 Goodbye Feng Qing'er

"Master, oh Master."

"I hope you won't put me in a difficult position."

"And those restless creatures from the Soul Palace."

"And the ancient river."

Zhongzhou.

Outside Dancheng.

On an ordinary small spaceship.

Lin Chaoci fiddled with the gold coins minted in Dancheng, idly watching the white clouds in the sky, pondering the plot of the original Battle Through the Heavens novel.

The Yunshan of today is different from the Yunshan in the original work. Time changes a person, and even he cannot avoid this.

To put it more poetically.

The dragon slayer will become the dragon himself.

To put it bluntly.

It means they failed to stay true to themselves.

However, this kind of thing is very common and not surprising.

The mainstream in the Dou Qi Continent is to cultivate physical strength rather than mental cultivation.

Otherwise, things like sword intent wouldn't be so rare.

As for those who are not reformed but not reformed in their hearts.

It's normal to lose control of your emotions.

of course.

It is also wrong to only cultivate the mind without cultivating physical strength.

Mind and strength are like skill and technique.

No matter how well one cultivates a method, without the support of internal energy, using it will be a heretical practice, and the price paid will inevitably include everything, including flesh and blood, and even the soul, making it difficult to verify the correct path.

No matter how well one cultivates their skills, without the protection of the Dharma, they will only become someone else's experience pack. Even if they are not a furnace or cauldron, they will still be used as food by some powerful individuals, who will try every means to squeeze them dry. This is because the essence of this world is the survival of the fittest, and this is not limited to the Dou Qi Continent. The essence of any world is the survival of the fittest. If you don't want to be targeted, you must demonstrate absolute strength. Moreover, suspicion requires no cost or price. In a chaotic order, even execution requires no cost or price. Even if you want to protect this world and other weak people, if you can't even protect yourself, then everything else is just a mirage, pure empty talk.

Unfortunately, honest advice is hard to swallow.

Some truths have already been stated.

Nobody listens to them.

To put it bluntly, if you told a cultivator who was making rapid progress in cultivation, like Xiao Yan before his battle qi disappeared, not to rush into cultivation, and that even if his foundation was already very solid, he should still be like an ordinary person, honestly wielding his sword until his restlessness was worn away, which would be the best time for a breakthrough, how could the spirited Xiao Yan possibly listen?

Yunlan Sect is also good.

So be it, Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.

There are also many sects and forces on the Dou Qi Continent.

This includes independent practitioners.

In short, they all use swords.

Why are there so few people who can comprehend the essence of swordsmanship?
Because none of these cultivators had ever truly experienced the mortal world from the perspective of an ordinary seeker of the Dao, unlike Xiaodie, who, under Lin Chaoci's supervision, day after day, with the body of an ordinary person at the time, still managed to control the landing point of each sword strike even when exhausted, thus gaining sufficient understanding of her own body and the sword in her hand. Therefore, she was able to comprehend the sword intent in repeated battles, just like steel being forged a hundred times.

This is precisely what these cultivators lack.

After they embarked on the path of cultivation.

After possessing battle qi within their body.

Even if you are wearing a heavy load.

Even if the fighting spirit within the body is artificially suppressed.

They also find it difficult to concentrate on practicing swordsmanship.

Or rather, it's not just about practicing swordsmanship.

Learning anything is fine.

They lack the patience and find it difficult to adjust their perceptions.

One needs to recognize three kinds of mediocrity in life.

The first layer is the mediocrity of the elders.

The second factor is one's own mediocrity.

The third level is the mediocrity of the younger generation.

Therefore, for cultivators who cannot recognize their mediocrity or even accept that they are mediocre, losing their cultivation is enough to cause their Dao heart to collapse. Even a transmigrator like Xiao Yan collapsed several times during the years when Dou Qi disappeared. One can imagine how shattered the mentality of the natives who grew up on the Dou Qi Continent must have been.

I want them to focus on practicing swordsmanship.

A task that doesn't show results in a short period of time.

Even if it may not yield results in the future, we should still strive for it.

It could even be described as a waste of time.

They are absolutely not happy about it.

Even if they practiced.

They were all just superficial and sloppy practice.

She was just as serious as Xiaodie was back then, striving to perfect every sword strike, to reach the standard that Lin Chaoci hadn't explicitly stated but was something she could cultivate, and she fought desperately for a chance to change her fate.

The two are absolutely different.

Therefore, it is normal for Yunshan to change.

In addition, the Soul Palace added something to the Breakthrough Pill.

The strong want to prey on the weak.

It's really simple.

When Yunshan's bottom line is breached, even if it's the first time, it means that Yunshan's bottom line will be breached repeatedly without limit.

Fortunately, the current sect leader of Yunlan Sect is Yun Yun.

At least nominally, it's still in Yunyun's hands.

What happened to the old sect leader?
Who is the current sect leader? Whose words carry weight?

Unfortunately, Yunyun lacked both the determination and the courage.

The sect leader's authority was merely a formality in her hands.

In addition, there's the master-disciple relationship.

She had no choice but to obey Yunshan's orders.

Yunshan destroyed the system he had built with his own hands, destroying half a lifetime's worth of hard work. This was no different from him denying himself.

They deserved it.

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Lin Chaoci sighed deeply.

There are some things he doesn't want to change.

It's not that he can't change it.

Just like he wanted to persuade Yunshan.

Do not cooperate with the Soul Palace.

Will Yunshan listen to him?
With the help of the World Consciousness, Yunshan wouldn't have gone to extremes. However, there were only two possibilities at the time. One possibility was that Yunshan hadn't yet come into contact with the Soul Hall. Since Xiao Yan entered the Yunlan Sect at the age of eighteen and dueled with Nalan Yanran, and he was the same age as Xiao Yan, it meant that when he entered the Yunlan Sect at the age of six to become Yunshan's disciple, there were still twelve years before Yunshan was clearly bewitched by the Soul Hall. Now, although he was ten years old, he had been active in the Central Plains area for the past few years, so it was impossible to determine in which year Yunshan came into contact with the Soul Hall. The other possibility was that Yunshan had already come into contact with the Soul Hall at that time, in which case he might have betrayed him.

Even Yun Yunyun, a disciple he had raised since childhood and practically treated like his own daughter, was willing to sell to Gu He, a sixth-grade alchemist, without hesitation for the so-called Breakthrough Pill. It can only be said that Yun Shan at that time was already obsessed and needed a heavy blow to bring him back to his senses.

Selling him was something I expected.

Even if Yunshan is not cooperating with the Soul Palace at this moment.

How can he explain this?
Unexpected prophet?

Aside from causing trouble for oneself, there are no other side effects.

Therefore, it's not a matter of whether Lin Chaoci is willing to get involved or not.

But if he gets involved, there will be more trouble.

Even if the world's consciousness helps him.

To dispel Yunshan's suspicions about him.

He wanted Yunshan to believe him completely. Or rather, even if he didn't believe her, he wouldn't question her.

I still owe this favor.

Even the world's consciousness cannot help him unconditionally.

This is also one of the reasons why Lin Chao resigned from taking the sixth-grade alchemist exam. In this way, he could eliminate Gu He from the competition first. If Yun Yun still liked Xiao Yan by then, he could choose to help her get along with him. After all, Yun Yun and Xiao Yan's relationship in the original work was quite regrettable. If Yun Yun didn't like Xiao Yan, he wouldn't have to worry about being under pressure from both Gu He and Yun Shan.

However, speaking of this, we have to mention the top of the regret list.

Yun Yun can only be described as Xiao Yan's ideal woman.

On the list of regrets, she ranks relatively low.

Fourth place at the start.

The one ranked first is definitely Little Fairy Doctor.

The Little Fairy Doctor's regret is the real regret.

To put it bluntly, if Little Fairy Doctor wanted to compete, even Xiao Xun'er and Queen Medusa would have to give way. She met Xiao Yan in the Monster Mountain Range. Although they were separated for a while, they reunited in the middle stage, when Xiao Yan's map expanded to the Poison Sect area outside of the Central Continent and the Jia Ma Empire. They continued their journey until Xiao Yan became a Dou Sheng, after which his role gradually decreased. It can be said that Little Fairy Doctor witnessed the most comprehensive progress of Xiao Yan's growth and went through life and death with him. Perhaps Little Fairy Doctor did not have the advantage of background or offspring, but this shared experience of life and death is enough to offset everything else and put her on the same starting line as Xiao Xun'er and Queen Medusa. This kind of experience cannot be erased.

Reference: Hai Bodong.

Go all in early, and you'll win easily later.

Even the smoke from cigarettes not lit by a special flame makes me cough.

Moving down the list, Ya Fei could be included. As Xiao Yan's angel investor in the early stages, although Ya Fei and Hai Bodong were from the same faction, it was Ya Fei who provided Xiao Yan's first income from alchemy. It was also Ya Fei who first exposed Xiao Yan's identity, before Hai Bodong even existed. Furthermore, although Ya Fei disappeared for a period of time in the middle of the story, her business acumen is undeniable. As Xiao Yan's personal treasury and the chief logistics manager, it's a bit of a pity that she couldn't be with Xiao Yan. Although her contributions weren't as great as Xiao Yi Xian's, she still deserves credit for her hard work. It's reasonable that Xiao Xun'er and Queen Medusa would take this into consideration and choose to accept Ya Fei.

Next is Zi Yan.

Zi Yan didn't contribute much in the early and mid-stages.

But in the later stages, they did put in a lot of effort.

Moreover, Zi Yan is strong enough and has a high enough status.

The daughter of the Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

It can command the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void.

They were not much weaker than the ancient tribes.

Moreover, she had fought alongside Xiao Yan. Although she seemed carefree, if she liked Xiao Yan and chose to compete with him, Xiao Xun'er and Queen Medusa would certainly give her respect.

Then it's possible that it's Yunyun.

In addition, in the Yunyun price range...

There are also some strong competitors.

Like green scales.

She once served as Xiao Yan's maid.

Later stage effort.

It's like a weaker version of Little Fairy Doctor.

For example, Han Yue and Han Xue met Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er at Canaan Academy. In addition, the Han family arranged a marriage at that time. Regardless of whether Xiao Yan acknowledged it or not, Xiao Xun'er turned a blind eye and it was not impossible for them to go through with it. They would be considered members of the Canaan faction, just like concubines in ancient times. There was often a phenomenon of forming cliques. Although Xiao Xun'er was unlikely to do that, it was acceptable if she wanted to.

And there's also his fiancée, Ye Xinlan.

Regardless of what Xiao Yan was thinking back then.

He did indeed use that title.

That's how I was able to participate in the Danta assessment.

As long as Xiao Yan is willing to take responsibility, both Xiao Xun'er and Queen Medusa will agree.

After all, by the end of Battle Through the Heavens, Xiao Yan had already become a Dou Di.

Even if he denies it.

Ye Xinlan will never be able to get married.

The main problem is that no one dares to marry her.

Just like Nalan Yanran.

Because everyone is afraid that Xiao Yan might suddenly decide to cause trouble one day. At that time, Ye Xinlan might be fine, and Nalan Yanran might also be fine, but the people who marry them will suffer. Xiao Yan won't even need to lift a finger; countless people who want to climb the social ladder will take his place and tear these troublemakers to pieces.

This is similar to the concubines in the ancient imperial palace.

The emperor may not have had that experience.

Three thousand beauties in the imperial harem.

It would take eight or nine years for one person per day.

Most of the palace maids and some of the concubines would die of old age.

But even if we die of old age.

We will absolutely not allow outsiders to covet or spy on us.

In short, even if Xiao Yan insisted, Yun Yun could only rank fourth on the regret list at best. There is a difference between subjective personal will and objective reality. Let the facts speak for themselves, and Xiao Yan had no way to refute them.

However, the original work is the original work.

This is now.

Since Lin Chaoci has intervened, it's normal for things to change. Otherwise, if the plot was like this before Lin Chaoci arrived and it remains the same after Lin Chaoci arrives, then what would be the point of Lin Chaoci's existence?

But before Lin Chaoci could think for too long...

Unexpected changes suddenly occurred.

Suddenly, a magnificent spaceship crashed through space and flew out.

Startled, Xiaodie, who was at the helm, jerked the rudder sharply.

They forced an immature drift.

They almost grazed the hull of the spaceship that suddenly appeared out of thin air. In fact, some railings and decorations were smashed at the edges of the two spaceships. It wasn't until the two spaceships had passed each other for three or four hundred meters that they stopped and looked at each other in tacit agreement.

Xiaodie plopped down on the ground.

My forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Ghost peeking out.

Of course, this term doesn't exist in the Dou Qi Continent yet.

But the meaning is the same.

It suddenly appears in the blind spot.

And it was driving so fast.

If she hadn't reacted quickly enough, the ship would have been destroyed and everyone would have perished.

Therefore, after confirming that it was safe, Xiaodie first took a couple of deep breaths, still shaken, before angrily cursing, her little face turning red with anger: "Don't you watch where you're going when you're sailing? You didn't even give us a spatial ripple. Have you forgotten the common sense that you should slow down when going out of the inner space or entering the outer space?"

However, before Xiaodie could finish her rant...

Then we saw more than a dozen other spaceships emerge.

They immediately surrounded the magnificent spaceship and their own dilapidated small boat, clearly setting up an ambush.

"It seems our luck isn't very good."

Lin Chaoci chuckled to himself.

I casually adjusted my posture.

Then, he took out a black robe from his storage ring and tossed it to Xiaodie from a distance.

Then, he waved to the magnificent spaceship not far away.

He said in a loud voice, "It's been a long time, how have you been?"

"It's alright, just a bit of a mess from being chased."

"It made you laugh."

"And... I dragged you into this too."

"I'm so sorry."

Seeing Xiao Die frantically putting on her black robe, Feng Qing'er, standing at the bow of the magnificent spaceship, instantly recognized Lin Chaoci's identity, and chuckled in response.

Then, I turned around.

He instructed the helmsman and his men, "Move closer, they're my friends..."
