Chapter 285 Climbing High to See the Gale, Moving Mountains and Islands Across the East China Sea
On a deserted island.

Dozens of Huangshan disciples took turns on duty, guarding the sea area covering hundreds of miles.

Suddenly, a powerful surge of spiritual energy emanated from the center of the deserted island, startling the Huangshan disciples on duty.

They turned to look behind them and immediately saw a figure rising from the island, radiating a purple, shimmering light that was extremely luxurious.

"That's... Yu Zhenchuan's legacy!"

"A purple aura, a fourth-grade Nascent Soul Immortal!?"

The disciples of Huangshan were all knowledgeable immortals, and they immediately recognized what the purple spiritual light represented.

Even so, their vision remained unfocused, as if they were seeing things.
"Is this an illusion? It's so realistic..."

Gong Dongxue and Princess Rakshasa noticed the commotion on the island and came out of their quiet room, staring in horror at the figure in mid-air.

They weren't much better than the other disciples; they also suspected that Yu Que was using some kind of deceptive magic.

After all, the existence of a fourth-grade Nascent Soul Immortal is simply too astonishing; to them, it is something that only exists in books.

In their memory, Yu Que hadn't even condensed any evil energy before entering the Immortal Mountain. Even though he had obtained a great opportunity within the Immortal Mountain, they knew before his seclusion that Yu Que was only a Qi Condensation cultivator and hadn't yet refined his inner energy.

midair.

Amidst the incredulous gazes of his disciples, Yu Que felt the abundant and powerful magical energy surrounding him and burst into laughter. His voice and laughter were as thunderous as thunder, causing the celestial phenomena within a hundred miles to change.

"Only today do I realize the nobility of the immortals! How wonderful!"

Yu Que controlled the primordial spirit weapon, transforming it into armor that enveloped his body, standing three zhang tall.

After a few moments of joy, Yu Que immediately looked up at the azure sky, his sleeves suddenly vibrated, and his body surged upwards, disappearing into the heavens.

Before long, he disappeared from the sight of the disciples of Huangshan and disappeared into the gale layer, leaving Gong Dongxue and the others staring at each other in astonishment and uncertainty.

Whoohoo!
A fierce gale swept past Yu Que on his left and right; he was not unfamiliar with this gale layer.

Previously, he had only traveled by boat and hidden inside. Today was different. Although he was using an external object this time, the guardian deity was no different from his own arm to him.

Therefore, although the deity is shrouded in the outside, the various sensations on the body surface are still extremely clear.

Those fierce and powerful gales that he perceived as his own body were now like a sea breeze to him—still strong, but with a unique flavor.

Yu Que looked around, then immediately leaped up again and disappeared into the depths of the Gale Layer.

Upon reaching deeper into the area, the fierce winds that roamed here became even purer and stronger.

However, as he looked around, his brows quickly furrowed:

"This is different from what's described in the book. Even deep within the Gale Layer, the types of Gale Winds don't seem to be that many..."

As far as he knows.

When practitioners gather and refine Qi, the process is completely different from when they condense evil Qi.

The essence of evil energy is something that must be sought from all corners of the world, and the type of evil energy that suits each person is different. It all depends on luck and the effort put in. The better your luck and the longer you search, the more powerful the evil energy you can find.

As for the element of Gang Qi, it exists high in the sky. As long as one has the means to ascend to the heavens and the means to protect oneself, one can easily harvest various types of Gang Qi in the Gang Feng layer.

Even if you can't get deep into the gale layer, you can occasionally try your luck and wait for the gale energy from deep inside to rush down to the bottom.

The real difficulty of this level lies in the fact that the Gang Qi, compared to the Sha Qi, is an extremely masculine force. It can polish everything in the world. Even a celestial star as large as a mountain can be polished to the size of a pea or even completely annihilated after passing through the Gang Qi layer.

Such a powerful object, if one wishes to incorporate it into one's body to temper one's true energy and yin spirit, undoubtedly requires immense courage and magical power.

Within the gale layer, Yu Que immediately moved, shifting left and right, circling within the gale layer for a while, and then venturing upwards a thousand feet further.

As a result, the gale-force winds he could see became increasingly sparse and of increasingly limited variety.

This situation is completely different from what is recorded in the book.

In particular, he didn't see any of the powerful internal energy that Yu Que wanted. The most powerful internal energy he saw was only of average level in his memory, called something like "Ten Thousand Miles of Clear Sky Qi".

This discovery made Yu Que's heart sink slightly.

He thought to himself, "Perhaps I just happened to come across a gap in the gale-force winds. If I fly a little higher, the situation might be different."

Immediately, Yu Que used the primordial spirit soldiers outside his body to protect him and flew headlong towards the deepest part of the gale layer, without worrying at all that he might fly out of the gale layer in one go.

Anyway, he is now protected by a primordial spirit weapon, not by a cloud boat or other such object. Even if he falls into the void, he will have his own means to fly back.

After a long time, when Yu Que felt the surrounding gale becoming increasingly thin, he looked back down and found that the world beneath his feet had already changed drastically.

He saw a world that looked like a tortoise shell, with its edges completely black, like a wall or a veil of mist.

The layer of gale he had just passed through was wrapped around this "turtle shell" like ribbons or soul banners.

He stared intently and noticed that the western side of the tortoise shell was bluish-gray, while the eastern side was a deep blue-black, dotted with scattered islands that became sparser towards the east.

The former should be the location of the Central Plains, a genuine continent, while the latter should be the East Sea, which is an ocean.

Yu Que stared intently at the scene before him, muttering to himself:
"Is this the whole picture of the Dao Secret Realm... It really looks unremarkable, like a piece of debris that someone casually picked out from somewhere."

After observing for a while and gaining some knowledge, he turned his attention to the outer layer of the Dao Secret Realm.

His mood immediately sank even further.

Because he can now confirm that the wind layer of the Dao Secret Realm is completely opposite to what is recorded in the book; it is not only thin and monotonous, but also becomes sparser as you go outwards.

Just like where Yu Que is now, there are only occasional gusts of wind that ripple around his feet. But the quality of these gusts is not even as refined as the winds at the bottom.

"If that's really the case, how should those cultivators in the major immortal sects and great palaces who aspire to become immortals refine their inner energy?"

Yu Que was not giving up. He immediately circled around and kept looking into the distance.

As it turned out, he did indeed catch a few clues.

"what is this?"

He rode his primordial spirit weapon and continued to soar into the sky. As he got farther and farther away from the Dao Secret Realm, the area of ​​the Dao Secret Realm that he could see became larger and larger, and spots of the gale layer also appeared in his eyes.

Using his divine weapon skills, Yu Que clearly saw that the wind was much denser in the spots within the wind layer, a world apart from the thin wind around him.

These spots are mainly found in Middle-earth.

Although there are places overseas to the east where the strong winds are intense, they are extremely scattered and few in number.

Interestingly, the gale-force winds overseas seem to be moving towards the Central Plains, and many of them have already gathered over a large island.

Yu Que carefully examined the island and discovered that it was the True Monarch Island he knew! This discovery startled him slightly, and he quickly looked at the place where the gale-force winds gathered above the Central Continent.

He counted them and immediately found that there were exactly 108 of them, and they were scattered among each other, vaguely forming a large array.

"That's right, the place where these fierce winds converge is precisely where the 108 Dao Palaces of the Central Plains are located!"

A sudden realization dawned on Yu Que, and he secretly pondered:
"Could it be that these are all the strong winds that various Daoist palaces have deliberately preserved and gathered, in order to maintain the true disciples' cultivation of Qi within the palaces and sects?"

After careful consideration, he realized that this was very likely the case.

This also reminded him that the immortals in the Huangshan Taoist Palace stayed peacefully in the Taoist Palace before refining their inner energy, unlike before they established their foundation, when they would wander all over the world.

Yu Que thought to himself, "It seems that I still need to return to the Huangshan Taoist Palace first before I can refine a good amount of internal energy."

He then narrowed his eyes and looked at the places overseas where the strong winds converged.

He stood in the void, watching intently for a long time, and keenly discovered that the convergence of these gales was indeed moving towards the location of True Monarch Island, seemingly indicating some kind of movement by the large and small immortal sects overseas.

This immediately piqued Yu Que's interest:
"It seems that before returning to the Central Plains, it would be best to venture out to sea first."

After all, it's a rare trip to the Western Sea, so we can't go back empty-handed; we should bring back some local specialties.

He also planned to go and explore the layer of qi above the overseas immortal sects. If he could get some high-quality qi, he would do so, just in case.

After carefully considering his next steps, Yu Que felt a sudden longing to return home.

He stood at the edge of the void, tilting his head back one last time to look at the pitch-black void.

Even after passing through the gale layer, Yu Que found that the starlight above the Dao Secret Realm was still sparse and dim, not at all like the scene of a sky full of stars that he had imagined.

He shook his head and plunged headfirst into the sea.

a few days later.

Yu Que traveled across the sea and finally found the deserted island where the Huangshan disciples were located.

While he was hovering in the sky, he accidentally forgot the coordinates of the place where he flew up. When he flew down again, he was much further away from where he was originally.

Fortunately, after returning to the sea, he searched the ocean for several days based on his memory and eventually found his way back to the deserted island.

On the island, Gong Dongxue and the others had been looking up at the sky ever since Yu Que ascended to heaven.

If they weren't all immortals, most of the people on the island would already have stiff necks and be unable to bow their heads.

Therefore, when they saw a purple humanoid figure appear on the sea, everyone immediately noticed and cheered.

Over the past few days, Gong Dongxue and the others had a good discussion and came to a conclusion that was both incredibly hard to believe and something they were extremely excited about.

That was the aura that everyone saw and sensed that day, which was very likely emitted by a fourth-grade Nascent Soul Immortal!

Therefore, they were very eager to know whether Yu Que had cultivated his primordial spirit or not.

"Hmm?" Yu Que returned to the island and saw that everyone on the island was bustling about and crowded together.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, then withdrew his external Dao weapon and calmly descended from the sky, landing in front of everyone.

Yu Que said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoists, why are you making such a fuss? Do you think I've gotten lost?"

Gong Dongxue and Princess Rakshasa stepped forward, both looking intently at Yu Que, and greeted him.

Gong Dongxue asked, "Junior brother, may I ask where the purple spiritual light on your body came from when you came out of seclusion?"

The Rakshasa princess was even more direct, asking, "May I ask, sir, have you cultivated your primordial spirit?!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Que couldn't help but glance around at the Huangshan disciples, whose eyes were also gleaming.

He chuckled and shook his head.

This response immediately stirred up the crowd on the island, whose faces visibly darkened and sighs could be heard.

However, the next moment, Yu Que directly released his own primordial spirit weapon.

Buzz!

The Dingjia Primordial Spirit Guardian, standing three zhang in size, resembled a jade pillar and stood before everyone, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Gong Dongxue stared blankly at the two-faced, four-armed primordial spirit, speechless for a moment.

The Rakshasa princess looked at it with shining eyes, her excitement evident as she gazed at the object.

She muttered to herself, "That's it, that's it! Its color is as purple as the sunset, and its power is as majestic as a mountain—that's exactly the demeanor of the ancient immortals that Father spoke of!"

The other disciples of Huangshan, though not as knowledgeable as the two women, noticed their movements and gathered together to discuss them. They all realized that the being before them was very likely the legendary Primordial Spirit Immortal.

Suddenly, someone mustered up their courage and blurted out:

"Master Yu, did you just abduct an immortal from a sacred mountain?!"

Seeing everyone so excited, Yu Que uttered such absurd words.

He stood calmly in the center of the room, flicking his sleeves, and said with composure:

"Do I look like the kind of person who steals chickens and dogs? This item is a divine general's weapon passed down from my Liandu Peak."

"I merely used materials from the immortal mountain to forge a fourth-grade Dao weapon."

Upon hearing this, everyone was even more astonished.

Someone muttered, "These aren't Taoist soldiers; they're heavenly soldiers and generals!"

"Refining Peak! If I had known this would happen, I would have shamelessly begged to join Refining Peak back then, even if it meant being a fire-tending servant."

The buzzing and discussion at the scene continued, and some people, not believing in the superstition, boldly stirred up trouble, asking Yu Que to control the primordial spirit soldier to move around and let everyone see what kind of magic power the primordial spirit immortal had.

Yu Que did not refuse. He was approachable and allowed the Yuan Shen Dao Bing to directly escape into the deserted island.

Immediately, everyone trembled.

The primordial spirit Dao soldier entered the earth, directly cutting off an island dozens of miles in size, then holding it in its hands, and striding towards the nearest immortal sect.

The people of Huangshan stood on the moving desert island, completely mesmerized and unable to contain themselves.
