Xiao Ruoling smiled and asked, "Can you feel the difference?"

“Everywhere is different,” Chu Zhiyuan remarked. “It’s amazing.”

It looks like the same air, and it feels no different to breathe it.

But once you start practicing, you will immediately feel a huge difference.

This difference will lead to completely different paths of spiritual practice.

No wonder cultivation in this world focuses on spiritual power rather than physical essence.

"Husband, would you like to go out and take a look?"

"Let's go," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Xiao Ruoling led the way, pushed open the door of the small courtyard, walked through a passageway, and went out through a large gate, thus leaving the Luo residence.

The Luo Mansion covers an area of ​​about 100 acres, with a three-story gate tower. The glazed tiles shimmer in the setting sun, making it very grand.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped out of the gate and turned to look at the three-story gatehouse.

Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "The Luo family is a large family, especially with Senior Sister Luo, a disciple of the Xuan Yin Palace, making them even more special."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Clearly, the Xuan Yin Palace is a top sect in the Youmeng Heaven.

Being able to join the Xuan Yin Palace would naturally bring great fortune to one's entire family.

He walked along the wide avenue, then turned into a small alley and headed south.

The alleyways are winding, with bluestone slabs and mottled bluestone walls on both sides, exuding a sense of vicissitude.

As he walked, he spoke: "This is called Qingyun City, right? Is it considered one of the top cities in Youmeng Heaven?"

“Qingyun City is one of the top cities in Youmeng Heaven.” Xiao Ruoling nodded slightly. “Nearby is Qingluo Cave, one of the top sects in Youmeng Heaven.”

Where is the Cliff of Ten Thousand Images?

“Wanxiang Cliff is three thousand miles from here,” Xiao Ruoling said. “It is on par with Qingluo Cave; both are top-tier sects.”

"What about the Xuan Yin Palace?"

“Our Xuan Yin Palace is a superior existence, surpassing the level of these sects.”

"Is there anything comparable to the Xuan Yin Palace?"

"...There are three other sects that are comparable to our Xuan Yin Palace, but none of them have the ability to cross the Heavenly Realm."

"Are there any nearby?"

"Of course not, otherwise Senior Sister Luo wouldn't have been able to join the Xuan Yin Palace."

"Will they join another sect?"

“Sister Luo is such a prodigy, there are bound to be people vying for her,” Xiao Ruoling said.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He had no intention of meeting this Senior Sister Luo; there was no need for them to have any connection.

The two quickly passed through the alley and arrived at the bustling main street.

Apart from the different architectural styles and people's clothing, everything else was just like the bustling city he had seen on other days.

Both places were bustling with activity, with vendors lining both sides of the street, their calls echoing incessantly.

Pedestrians came and went in a bustling crowd, some stopping at a stall, some entering a shop, some chatting and laughing loudly in groups, and some hurrying along, absent-minded and immersed in their own world.

The world is vast, and all living beings are numerous.

But they were, after all, people of Youmengtian, and were indeed different from the people he had met.

Among the pedestrians coming and going on the street, eight out of ten are practitioners.

These practitioners were enveloped in a soft light.

The radiance emanating from them reveals their level of spiritual attainment.

White light indicates the Qi Transformation Realm, purple light indicates the Intent Transformation Realm, and golden light indicates the Divine Transformation Venerable. Apart from these three colors, all other colors are mixed colors.

The light was mixed and impure, indicating a lack of initial cultivation.

He looked at the people on the street with a sigh on his face.

"What are your thoughts, my husband?" Xiao Ruoling asked with a smile.

The two stood on one side of the street, observing the passersby.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Cultivation in Youmengtian seems easier. Look how many Venerables are on this street."

“I heard from Senior Sister Luo,” Xiao Ruoling nodded, “that before becoming a Venerable, it was quite easy for them to cultivate. But it is almost impossible for a Venerable to reach perfection and become an Unsurpassed Venerable, let alone a Spirit Venerable.”

“Spirit Lord…” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

I scratch my head whenever I think about it.

After racking my brains for so long, there's still no progress.

“It’s difficult for us to become Spirit Lords, and it’s the same in Youmeng Heaven.”

"The Spirit Lord of Xuanyin Palace has not shown up yet?"

“No,” Xiao Ruoling shook her head: “It’s hard to say when they will appear. Maybe once every thousand years, or once every few hundred years. They are unpredictable, and no one knows where they are.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, "The Spirit Venerable should be able to traverse the Heavenly Realm and travel freely."

If the second level of the Earthly Origin Technique can do it, then the Spirit Venerable should be able to as well.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so mysterious and nowhere to be seen.

“The Spirit Venerable cannot be taught; one must comprehend it on one’s own and find one’s own path,” Xiao Ruoling said. “There are many records of Spirit Venerables in the palace, but unfortunately, no disciple has ever become a Spirit Venerable through them. It is said that these martial arts notes are actually a shackle.”

“Shackles…” Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Xiao Ruoling said, "Seeing only its form will only lead to being misled. After a Venerable One has reached perfection, one must realize it on one's own and find one's own path."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

The two of them floated into the crowd, moving as freely as fish.

After wandering around the city, seeing both the bustling and the less bustling parts, we finally headed towards Wanxiang Cliff.

Night had fallen, and a bright moon shone in the sky.

Under the gentle moonlight, the two floated like celestial beings.

"We're not going back tonight, your Senior Sister Luo..."

“I told Senior Sister Luo beforehand that I found out that Wanxiang Cliff is a prestigious and legitimate sect.”

"A prestigious sect..." Chu Zhiyuan said, "Unfortunately, there are always disciples who want to take crooked paths. What punishment will they receive if they find out that their disciples are doing so?"

“Disable their cultivation and expel them from the sect.” Xiao Ruoling said, “I heard from Senior Sister Luo that Wanxiang Cliff just punished two disciples a few days ago.”

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

"Isn't that a coincidence?" Xiao Ruoling said, "I suspect it was those two evil lords you killed."

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

“Right?” Xiao Ruoling asked.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly: "They were killed after they descended to Biyuan Heaven. It must have been because their souls were damaged, which gave them away and made them known to the sect."

Xiao Ruoling said, "So, their descent and subsequent killing weren't without consequences?" Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "This time it was just a coincidence, bad luck. Under normal circumstances, even if they were killed in Biyuan Heaven and their souls were damaged, they wouldn't have given themselves away."

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to descend so easily.

According to his memories of several evil lords and immortal evil lords, they could recover in two or three days as long as they prepared elixirs.

Even with the worst luck, it's unlikely that you'd happen to be caught by the patrol in just two or three days.

Xiao Ruoling said, "So you're saying that Wanxiang Cliff isn't cracking down hard enough and is intentionally condoning it?"

"It shouldn't be," Chu Zhiyuan said. "This path is ultimately a crooked one, and it's easy to lose control. But since we've reached the Venerable level, we can't be too strict with it."

The Venerable One is a master in any world, and has ample freedom.

The two floated along as they talked.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly grasped her jade-like hand, and in a flash, they covered a distance of three to five miles.

He discovered that the spiritual energy in the air was thin, but the strange energy was abundant, yet this did not affect the Earth Origin Technique.

He remained connected to the earth, able to compress and traverse it at will.

Three thousand miles is covered in just half an hour.

They stopped on a mountaintop.

The moonlight was soft and gentle.

Xiao Ruoling transmitted her voice secretly: "Husband, what are we doing here?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let's investigate the details of Wanxiang Cliff."

"You suspect that the Undying Evil Lord is the one who descended from the Cliff of Myriad Forms?"

"Hmm." Chu Zhiyuan nodded slightly.

Xiao Ruoling was exceptionally intelligent and had a perfect understanding with him.

Xiao Ruoling frowned slightly: "Husband, you want to find out the true identity of that Undying Evil Lord? I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

This Undying Evil Lord must be skilled in concealment, otherwise he would have been discovered by Wanxiang Cliff long ago.

Even Wanxiangya himself couldn't notice his unusual behavior, let alone others.

Without noticing anything unusual, it would be even harder to find him.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "He descended by attaching himself to the statue, and his likeness was carved into it."

Xiao Ruoling chuckled softly, "I see. What if we find it?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "How about we report it directly to Wanxiang Cliff?"

"That's a great idea," Xiao Ruoling said.

She then frowned slightly: "But our identities might not be enough... I've got it, let's send a message directly to the Xuan Yin Palace here."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Can Wanxiang Cliff receive messages from Xuanyin Palace?"

"Whether we listen or not, we will definitely take it seriously and investigate it," Xiao Ruoling said.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Xiao Ruoling said, "But he is the Undying Evil Venerable, who is already a perfected Venerable."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Then we'll see what Wanxiang Cliff decides."

If Wanxiang Cliff is unwilling to abandon this Perfect Venerable in order not to lose strength, then Zhu Lingyun will be the only solution.

At this moment, Zhu Lingyun had already appeared in the mountains and forests a mile away.

They were instantly like fish in water.

The strange, abundant scent in the air made his pores open wide.

The feeling of comfort and ease is indescribable; one feels an urge to roar to the heavens.

The speed at which the Myriad Forms Return to the Gods Technique operated suddenly increased, becoming several times faster than within the seven-colored pillar of light.

This place is about ten miles away from Wanxiang Cliff. Through Chu Zhiyuan's perception, Zhu Lingyun knew that the strange aura here was more abundant than in other places.

The cultivation speed is faster.

This is the foundation of a top-tier sect, and the reason why it can become a top-tier sect.

He cultivated in this environment and made rapid progress, quickly approaching the perfect state of the Venerable One.

It is estimated that he will be able to recover to his peak condition overnight.

Chu Zhiyuan stood with his hands behind his back, bathed in moonlight and facing the gentle breeze, and suddenly said softly, "Found him, he is indeed a disciple of Wanxiang Cliff."

Xiao Ruoling asked, "What's his name?"

Chu Zhiyuan remained silent.

A cup of tea was brought over, and he slowly said, "His name is Zhuo Yifan."

“Then let’s go back,” Xiao Ruoling said. “I’m going to Xuanyin Palace.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

After a while, under the super-sensory illumination, I have grasped about 50-60% of the true nature of Wanxiang Cliff.

The remaining half or so was blocked from being seen by an invisible force.

These places, blocked by unseen forces, made him wary and dispelled his idea of ​​taking direct action.

They decided to rely on the power of Wanxiang Cliff itself to see if they could deal with Zhuo Yifan.

If possible, that would be best. If not, we'll find another way to lure him out so that Zhu Lingyun can kill him.

Zhu Lingyun's cultivation level is advancing by leaps and bounds, reaching the peak state of the Undying Evil Lord, and he possesses not only the secret techniques of the memories of one Undying Evil Lord.

By combining the strengths of both, and unifying them into one, its power naturally far surpasses that of an ordinary immortal evil lord.

It is hoped that this will bring an end to Zhuo Yifan.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Would you like to take another look?"

"Can we go in and take a look?" Xiao Ruoling asked with a smile.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "With my husband's lightness skill, shouldn't we be able to break in and take a look?"

"Madam, you're even bolder than me," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Xiao Ruoling asked, "Is that alright?"

Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment, then shook his head, suppressing this strong impulse.

"Alright then, let's go back." Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "It seems that Wanxiang Cliff is very dangerous."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "With the sect's protective treasures here, I really wouldn't dare to be presumptuous."

There is more than one protective treasure within Wanxiang Cliff.

There were four items in total, all of which posed a fatal threat to him, so he dared not act recklessly.

He put his arm around Xiao Ruoling's slender waist, disappeared in a flash, and was back in Qingyun City the next moment.
