Mortal: I can enter the spirit world at the beginning

Star City.

On a cliff near the top of the majestic mountain, Yang Qian stood quietly with his hands behind his back, his black robe swaying gently in the wind, like a touch of depth in the darkness.

His face was as calm as water, as if he was pondering some unfathomable mystery.

Suddenly, Yang Qian's eyes moved slightly, and his gaze seemed to penetrate layers of clouds and mist, looking into the distance below.

There, a dazzling white light, like a meteor streaking across the sky, instantly broke through the numerous restrictions here and rushed straight towards where he was.

Yang Qian's eyes flickered a few times, revealing a hint of surprise, as if he recognized the person.

I saw a white light circling around the edge of the cliff, then slowly falling down. The light gradually converged, and finally revealed the figure of a beautiful and elegant girl.

This girl was none other than Xin Ruyin’s favorite disciple—Qing’er.

"Greetings to the Palace Master!" Qing'er lowered her head slightly, her face full of respect, and bowed to Yang Qian. Her voice was crisp yet gentle.

"It's Qing'er. The ceremony has already ended, but you still came here from the palace in such a hurry. Is there something that your master and the others can't handle?" Yang Qian nodded slowly and smiled faintly.

Qing'er, Guyun, and Haoran, the three favorite disciples of Xin Ruyin, are gifted with extraordinary talents, especially in the art of formations. They have built countless exquisite teleportation formations for the Xing Palace and are undoubtedly the backbone of the Xing Palace's future.

Qing'er raised her head slightly and stole a glance at Yang Qian, then she waved her jade hand gently, and the storage bag flashed with light, and half of the human-shaped material appeared in her palm. She said crisply: "Palace Master, Master ordered me to bring this thing to you, saying that you will know it once you see it."

"Hmm?" Yang Qian's eyes were startled for a moment when he caught a glimpse of the half human-shaped material, and then, as if attracted by a magnet, they instantly condensed into a sharp ray of light.

He raised his hand lightly, and an invisible force came quietly, gently pulling the human-shaped remains in front of him.

"Puppet wreckage! This refining method" Yang Qian murmured in a low voice, his eyes wandering over the wreckage, his expression changing unpredictably. He seemed to be recalling, and seemed to be thinking. Finally, he raised his head and looked at Qing'er with a sharp gaze, "Where did this thing come from?"

Although Qing'er was puzzled, she thought for a moment and answered without hesitation:

"Palace Master, this is what Master got by chance from a casual cultivator. Master asked, and it turned out that the person was not a cultivator from our Chaos Star Sea. It seems that he escaped from the mysterious dark land by chance, and was later met by Senior Jile, who has been keeping him by his side ever since. As for his specific origins, Qing'er is not too sure."

"A cultivator outside the Chaos Star Sea? Following the old monster Jile." Yang Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was touched by some information in this sentence.

He didn't ask any more questions. He just collected the remains of the puppet in his hand, and his whole body turned into a dazzling purple rainbow and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Seeing this, Qing'er didn't understand why, but she still hurriedly chased after him.

Outside the VIP building on the upper floors of Tianxing City, Gu Yun, a woman with a sword on her back, was standing in front of a building, looking up into the sky from time to time.

Suddenly, a purple light flashed in the sky, and a startling rainbow shot out. In the blink of an eye, it reached the sky above the building, circled, and then fell down.

"Greetings to the Palace Master!" As soon as Yang Qian appeared in front of the building, Gu Yun took a few steps forward and said respectfully.

"Well, you go down first." Yang Qian looked at the attic behind Gu Yun. After his eyes flashed a few times, he nodded calmly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yun bowed respectfully, then turned into a ray of white light and left.

Yang Qian's figure flashed, and he suddenly appeared at the entrance of the attic. After scanning inside with his mind, he walked in calmly.

In the hall on the first floor of the attic, there were two men and one woman sitting there talking about something. The men were a skinny old man in a black robe and a middle-aged man in cross-dressing with an unusually pale face. The woman was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl in palace dress, as beautiful as a flower. It was Xin Ruyin.

“Fellow Daoist Jile, although you are a casual cultivator, you have always been in close contact with our Star Palace. This time, in the competition for the position of the island master of Lianxing Island, one of the twenty-four islands overseas in the Inner Star, with the cultivation level of your younger generation who is at the peak of the late Jindan stage, he will definitely win easily.” Xin Ruyin said with a faint smile, his blue robe showing his nobility.

Opposite Xin Ruyin was the skinny old man in a black robe, who was none other than the newly promoted late-stage great cultivator Jile Old Monster among the wandering cultivators in the Chaos Star Sea. Although he was at the late-stage realm, he did not dare to put on airs in front of Xin Ruyin, a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. After all, the other party was the Taoist companion of a Spiritualization cultivator.

Hearing Xin Ruyin say this, the old monster Jile hurriedly smiled and said:

"Fairy Xin, you are too kind! My useless junior has been preparing for this Star Picking Competition for a long time! If he can..."

Before the old monster Ji Le could finish his words, he heard a man's voice coming from behind and immediately stopped talking.

"It turns out that fellow Daoist Jile's descendants also want to participate in the Star Picking Conference. With fellow Daoist's training, it shouldn't be a problem for them to capture one of the outer twenty-four star islands." Following Yang Qian's gentle voice, he stepped directly into the building.

"Husband!"

"I've met Senior Yang!"

Everyone in the building stood up to greet them.

However, Xin Ruyin had a happy smile on her face, while the old monster Jile had a cautious smile on his face.

As for the middle-aged man in strange clothes with an unusually pale face, although he had the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage, he could not feel the fluctuations of Yang Qian's magic power at all. However, through the address and reaction of the old monster Jile in the building, he guessed the other party's identity. He was immediately shocked and felt a little terrified.

"Junior Tie Lan is here to meet Senior Yang!" The middle-aged man bowed respectfully.

"Well, there's no need to be so polite, fellow Taoists. Let's sit down and talk." Without waiting for the old monster Jile and the middle-aged man named Tie Lan to say anything else, Yang Qian flashed mysteriously and appeared on a wooden chair in the main seat of the building. He waved his hand and said lightly.

Neither Ji Le nor the old monster could see anything clearly.

"Then we won't be polite." The old monster Jile's eyelids twitched, but he immediately replied with a smile on his face.

Tie Lan's pupils shrank and he lowered his head without saying anything.

Everyone immediately took their seats again.

"Fellow Daoist Jile, with your current magical power, I'm afraid that in another hundred years, you will be able to completely stabilize in the late stage. By then, your magical powers will definitely be much stronger than they are now." Yang Qian looked up and down at Jile Old Monster, and suddenly smiled and said. "Senior Yang has a keen eye! I am lucky to have broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul, and the road ahead is long. I dare not have any other extravagant hopes." Jile Old Monster was startled and hurriedly responded.

Yang Qian smiled lightly and said nothing more. His eyes glanced at the other middle-aged man, Tie Lan.

"Friend Tie, I see that you are dressed a little strangely. It seems that you are not from Chaos Star Sea?" Yang Qian waved his hand, threw half of the human-shaped puppet material to the other party, and then asked.

"Senior Yang is right. I am indeed not a cultivator from the Chaos Star Sea. Instead, I accidentally fell into a ghost fog and entered the Dark Land, where I cannot use magic power at all. Fortunately, I practiced the puppet method, which allowed me to barely survive and escape by chance. After that, I met Fellow Daoist Jile and caught up with Senior Yang's Incarnation Ceremony, so I followed him here to see the world." Tie Lan was slightly startled and replied immediately. When he mentioned the ghost fog and the Dark Land, a look of fear appeared on his face.

“So that’s how it is! The ghost fog is one of the natural disasters in the Chaos Star Sea. Although fellow Daoist has the cultivation level of an early Nascent Soul, once he is swallowed by the ghost fog, he will lose all his magic power and even cannot use basic sword-controlling and magic weapons. He can only act like an ordinary mortal. Fellow Daoist Tie was able to escape by chance, probably because of this puppet.” Yang Qian nodded in understanding, and then said meaningfully.

Tie Lan nodded in agreement, seeming to be still frightened.

"Mr. Yang is quite interested in puppetry. I wonder where Mr. Tiedao is from and what school or sect he belongs to?" Yang Qian touched his nose and asked with a slight smile.

Tie Lan was slightly stunned by this question, but there was no reason not to answer this question. After a brief pause, he spoke frankly, "I was born in Tiansha Continent. To be honest, I have not formally joined any sect. I am just a casual cultivator. However, before I condensed my Nascent Soul and my cultivation was still shallow, I was fortunate to receive guidance from a senior wearing a silver mask. I learned some puppetry techniques and used them to refine puppets for self-defense."

"Tiansha Continent?" Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Xin Ruyin's pretty face.

Except for Yang Qian, Xin Ruyin and Jile Old Monster in the building had never heard of this place.

Although Old Monster Jile had come into contact with Tie Lan a long time ago, this was the first time he heard this name from the other party. He frowned slightly and tried to search for memories about the Tiansha Continent in his mind, but unfortunately, it was a completely unfamiliar area for him.

"So you are from Tiansha Continent. If you want to go back, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Yang Qian raised his eyebrows and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, as if he was a little surprised. "Does Tie Daoyou have any secret jade slips related to puppets? This kind of puppet refining method is extremely rare in Chaos Star Sea! Yang really wants to know more about it. I am willing to exchange it with treasures of equal value. After all, the way of puppets is also very beneficial to me."

As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of surprise appeared on Tie Lan's face, as if he had not expected that Yang Qian would be so interested in puppetry.

The old monster Jile standing aside had a look of envy and regret on his face. He regretted that he had not been able to dabble in puppetry and envied the seemingly profound communication between Yang Qian and Tie Lan.

The old monster Jile secretly made plans in his mind and decided that he would search hard for the secret art of puppetry after returning. The next time he came to Tianxing City, he would bring his own experience with puppetry and discuss it with Yang Qian in order to please him and get closer to them.

After all, in the world of immortal cultivation in this human world, there are not many things that can interest a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage.

"This..." A trace of embarrassment appeared on Tie Lan's face, his brows slightly frowned, and he seemed a little hesitant.

"What's the matter? Does Brother Tiedao have some difficulty with my request?" Seeing this, Yang Qian couldn't help but frown. He slightly released a bit of the pressure of a spiritual cultivator, and the invisible sense of oppression immediately surged towards Tie Lan like a tide.

Tie Lan's body swayed, and under this pressure, he felt breathless, as if an invisible mountain was pressing on his chest.

He was startled and said quickly:

"Senior Yang! To be honest, my storage bag was destroyed when I fell into the underworld. All my puppet secrets, along with my magic weapons, were lost in the endless space cracks. Only this puppet was fortunately preserved, and it became my only support for survival in the underworld. Everything I said is true, not a single word is false!"

At this point, Tie Lan showed a bitter smile on his face, and his deep eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and sadness.

Seeing Tie Lan's expression, Yang Qian twitched his lips and nodded, saying, "In that case, it is Yang who has wronged you! It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter."

Seeing that Yang Qian didn't seem to be pursuing the matter anymore, Tie Lan felt relieved.

"Fellow Daoist Jile, I have observed the martial arts that you are practicing." Then, Yang Qian changed the subject and started discussing the practice of martial arts with the old monster Jile, and seemed to have completely forgotten about the puppet.

After half a day had passed, the building was already empty, with only Yang Qian sitting alone in the main seat.

His eyes were deep and focused, and his face showed a thoughtful look.

"The Great Art of Puppetry." Yang Qian muttered to himself, his eyes narrowed slightly.

From Tie Lan, he unexpectedly discovered the first three levels of the "Dayan Jue" and the humanoid puppet made by the secret technique of "Puppetry".

Although the strength of this broken puppet was only at the Jindan stage, Yang Qian recognized it at a glance. This was definitely a refining technique from "Puppetry", and there was no way he could have made a mistake.

It was really beyond Yang Qian's expectation that Lord Dayan actually went to Tiansha Continent.

You know, when they parted, they had agreed to meet in Dajin together.

Looking back to the past, Yang Qian got all the "Dayan Jue" skills and "Puppetry" from the Dayan God, and with the help of the other party's various secret techniques, he refined a humanoid puppet of the late Nascent Soul level.

This puppet can be called the number one puppet in the human world!

However, time flies, and for Yang Qian, who is now in the Spirit Transformation Realm, this once extremely powerful puppet has gradually lost its function, and he handed it over to Xin Ruyin for use.

But no matter what, Yang Qian always remembered the help and kindness of Dayan God.

For many years, he has been searching for the trace of Dayan God, but to no avail.

Now, knowing that Lord Dayan might appear in Tiansha Continent, Yang Qian couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if he had heard news about an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

He knew very well that he had to go and explore it himself this time.

If we can find Lord Dayan, that would be the best; even if we can't find him, we can eliminate one possible place and further narrow the scope of the search.

"I must go to Tiansha Continent! But before that, I still have to go back to Xiaoji Palace and Bingyuan Island first."

Yang Qian touched his chin, and Bing Feng's peerless beauty appeared in his mind. (End of this chapter)
