Perfect World: Start by traveling to the Wuwang Mansion

Chapter 212 Cause and Effect (Two chapters in one)

Upon hearing this, Shi Qingyun did not dwell on this trivial matter, but asked her:
"How is it going with you trying to stop those two people from the upper realm?"

There was no expression on Ji Ling's face, and he answered him in a very calm tone:

"Nothing much, just kill them."

“Although there was some cost, everything was as expected.”

He nodded immediately and said nothing more. As the saying goes, the more debts you have, the less you worry about them. Since he had already completely offended the people in the underworld, there was nothing wrong with killing some more of their people.

Besides, they were the ones who came to attack first. He would let as many die as possible and deal with the rest after he entered the upper realm.

Later, he learned from the sacrificial spirit that the old mountain master was in seclusion to break through. Shi Qingyun also understood why he did not show up during the Zhulu disaster.

"The lower world's divine fire has reached its peak and cannot help the path to progress any further."

"I will find a way to the upper realm on a chosen day. You should be careful."

Ji Ling looked at Shi Qingyun beside him and wanted to invite him to go on the journey together, but thinking that his own future was uncertain, he gave up the idea.

"As for the new sacrificial spirit, I have already handed it over to He Hao. Don't worry."

Shi Qingyun knew that the determination to offer sacrifices to the spirits and seek the truth was firm, so he did not say anything more. Since the matter of offering sacrifices to the spirits had been handed over to the old mountain master, he did not worry about it.

Then he said take care to her and left the Boundless Sea.

Looking back, the wooden house by the endless sea is already covered with dust. I don’t know if I will have the chance to come back and take a look again.

As soon as Shi Qingyun returned to the academy, he saw a familiar figure.

"Shi Hao?"

Hearing the call, Shi Hao, who was waiting, turned his head towards the voice.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Shi Qingyun standing not far away and looking at him.

He also stretched out his hand to greet him, and a sincere smile immediately appeared on his face.

The two of them sat opposite each other in a small pavilion, steam rose from the stone table, and the rich aroma of tea filled the pavilion.

Shi Hao looked at Shi Qingyun, whose aura was becoming increasingly unfathomable, and his worries were relieved a lot.

It has been a long time since the last time we met. Judging from his current appearance, he should have come out of the shadow of the last incident.

"Everything is alright."

He couldn't help but feel guilty. After all, Shi Qingyun had helped him so many times, but he was unable to help him when he was in danger.

Shi Qingyun, who was sipping tea, seemed to sense the changes in Shi Hao's heart after he heard about the crisis in Zhulu Academy during this period.

"Don't worry, I know your difficulties."

"Besides, it's all over now."

Shi Hao nodded helplessly when he heard that. He had his share of hardships during this period of time as he was the emperor of the Shi Kingdom.

It is really difficult to protect the people of the Stone Kingdom so that they can survive the catastrophe, and to deal with the invasion of the forces from the upper realm.

"I wonder if you need my help this time?"

After the two of them talked about their recent situation, Shi Qingyun looked at Shi Hao, who had become more mature and steady, and asked him.

When Shi Hao heard the question, he didn't know whether he should say it for a moment. Originally, he wanted to ask him to accompany him to Mount Bulao.

But I already felt guilty for not being able to help him, and now I didn't know how to start the conversation when I came to him for help again.

"I treat you as a friend. There is nothing that cannot be said between you and me."

Shi Qingyun saw Shi Hao's embarrassment, poured him a cup of tea, waved his hand and said to him with a smile.

Shi Hao did not hesitate any longer and directly explained his purpose to Shi Qingyun.

Shi Qingyun pondered for a moment and nodded. Anyway, there was nothing to do in the academy at the moment, so it was a good opportunity to go out for a walk.

Besides, it would be a good opportunity to settle some accounts. Since they have just invaded Zhulu Academy, they should be prepared to be liquidated.

"Get an opportunity and create a cause and effect."

Since I have obtained the Kunpeng magic from Kunpeng's nest, it can be considered as a favor. It is time to repay this favor.

After the two of them agreed on a time, Shi Hao hurried back. There were still many things to do as the catastrophe had just passed.

After drinking a cup of tea, Shi Qingyun returned to his practice room, ready to comprehend the mystery of the Venerable.

He originally wanted to go to the Stone Country to see the Witch and Xiaobai, but he received news that the Witch had returned to the upper realm and it was unknown when she would come back.

So he suppressed his thoughts.

He sat cross-legged on a white jade cushion, with a divine ring slowly spinning behind him, casting golden rays of light that made him look like a natural god.

Around him, wisps of Yin and Yang laws were flowing, and his body was emitting a misty precious light. Wisps of divine light were flowing, emitting a compelling sense of oppression.

The so-called Venerable cultivates the Dharma, keeps his body indestructible, and transcends the mundane world.

In short, after reaching a certain level of practice, one can ignite the divine fire and eventually become a god.

Shi Qingyun closed his eyes slightly, and wisps of yin and yang laws were flowing around him, and streams of mysterious Taoist sounds were emanating from his body.

As time passed, his understanding of the Venerable Realm gradually deepened, and he had fully mastered his current strength.

The Golden Crow heralds the dawn, and several days have passed.

Early in the morning of that day, a terrifying force was released from the direction of Shi Qingyun. The pressure came and went quickly like the tide.

Before many disciples could figure out what was going on, Shi Qingyun, who was in the training room, suddenly appeared above the hall.

As soon as I came in, I heard many elders discussing the opening of Zhulu Academy and recruiting disciples.

“Although Zhulu suffered heavy losses after this ordeal, the disciples who survived are expected to break through to a higher realm and have greater potential.”

"However, because of this disaster, the academy is in a period of transition, so we must make plans early."

At this time, the female war god broke through to the formation realm and became an elder of Zhulu Academy. Her status was even higher, and she was younger.

Therefore, he has more say among this group of elders.

Shi Qingyun went straight to the first seat and sat down. He was too lazy to get involved in these matters, and the elders knew Shi Qingyun's character so they did not discuss with him.

Shi Qingyun told them that he was going to Bulao Mountain, and then after arranging some matters in the courtyard, he left Zhulu.

Under the azure blue sky, Shi Qingyun walked slowly in the void. Every time he took a step, the void in front of him would twist a few times, and then swallow up his figure and send him farther away.

Ever since he broke through to the level of Venerable, his speed has become faster and faster, and it didn’t take long before he arrived at the Imperial Capital of the Stone Kingdom.

As soon as Shi Qingyun came in, he saw a bustling scene with people jostling each other. It seemed that people had completely walked out of the shadow of the catastrophe.

He shook his head and disappeared from the spot, heading straight towards the palace.

As soon as his breath appeared, Shi Hao flew out of the palace. After the two had a brief conversation, they followed the Venerable of the Bulao Mountain who came to pick Shi Hao up.

The Venerable of Bulao Mountain was surprised when he saw Shi Qingyun. No matter how hard he tried, he could not feel Shi Qingyun's realm and thought he was just a friend of Shi Hao.

Afterwards, under Shi Hao's urging, he quickly let the matter go and didn't care about it.

Time passes like water
On this day, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the entire sky was azure blue, like a huge piece of transparent blue crystal, or a piece of canvas.

On this blue canvas, a huge spaceship slowly passed through it, like a swimmer in the blue sea. The spaceship still had some distance to reach its destination, so Shi Qingyun sat cross-legged in the room and practiced to kill time.

The Tai Chi diagram under Shi Qingyun was slowly rotating, wisps of yin and yang energy were surrounding him, and his momentum was slowly increasing.

And around him, lines of array patterns were flickering continuously, flowing with golden light, forming a formation that protected his aura from leaking out.

His mind sank into a world of ink and wash. In front of him, two yin and yang fish were swimming, chasing and colliding with each other.

Two different energies, one black and one white, were constantly merging and colliding. Shi Qingyun watched all this with a calm expression. Behind him, a Tai Chi appeared faintly, echoing with the Yin-Yang fish.

The entire ink-and-wash world is flowing because of these two yin-yang fish, and wisps of yin and yang energy are flowing in this ink-and-wash world.

Just when Shi Qingyun was immersed in his cultivation, a series of knocks on the door pulled him back.

He took a deep breath, walked slowly to the door, opened it with a creak, and saw Shi Hao standing at the door.

Feeling the aura that accidentally escaped from Shi Qingyun, Shi Hao was shocked and scratched his head embarrassedly, knowing that he had disturbed his practice.

Seeing that he looked embarrassed, Shi Qingyun didn't take it too seriously and quickly calmed down the divine power that was surging in his body.

They led him into the room, and as soon as they sat down, they asked him:

"Did something happen?"

"Why do you come to me at this time?"

Before this time, both of them were practicing in their respective caves. He came to find me inexplicably today, so I had this question.

After Shi Hao took a sip of tea, he smiled and said to him:

"Nothing much, I just met a few Taoist friends from the upper realm here."

"I wanted to take you to meet him, but I ended up disturbing your practice."

Upon hearing this, Shi Qingyun shook his head to indicate that it was okay. After thinking for a while, he stood up and said to him:
"Let's go, it's a good opportunity to meet a genius from the upper realm."

"It would be a good idea to ask them about the upper world."

Soon he followed Shi Hao, and the two of them walked together towards the cave dwelling of the geniuses from the upper realm.

In a short while, the two of them arrived at a room on the top floor. They took a casual look inside the room and secretly praised it in their hearts, saying that it was worthy of being a top-floor room and was much more luxurious than the rooms below.

Not only is the space more spacious, but even the flooring on the ground exudes a faint fragrance, and you can tell at once that it is of great value.

The sound of Shi Hao and the other man coming in immediately attracted the attention of several people in the room, and they all turned their eyes over.

"Friend Shi is back. This must be the friend you were talking about."

"Fellow Daoist, you are indeed extraordinary and heroic. Please take a seat."

After Shi Qingyun sat down, he also had the opportunity to take a good look at these geniuses from the upper realm.

There are six people in this group, three men and three women. The leading woman is at the formation level and the others are not much different.

Except for one or two boys, the rest of the people were very enthusiastic towards the two of them, and as they drank and chatted, the relationship between them became much closer.

"Fellow Daoist Shi and Fellow Daoist Wan, you two may not know that there is a ruthless person in the lower world."

Shi Qingyun and Shi Hao looked at each other, their eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, they raised their glasses to toast the man, and slowly said:
"What do you mean, fellow Daoist Hong Huang?"

After Hong Huang finished the wine in the glass with a smile, she told the two of them the whole story.

"Before the outside world, the rest of the geniuses had already arrived in the underworld."

"But unfortunately, it is said that he was killed in the lower world, and that vicious person also killed a distinguished genius in the underworld."

"He provoked the underworld to attack him, but it seems that he escaped."

Lan Yu and the others seemed to have known the news for a long time. They did not show any strange expressions and just listened while drinking.

"The people of the underworld are probably planning to deal with that person now."

"Otherwise, there should be people from the underworld among the geniuses who came to the lower world this time."

After hearing this, Shi Qingyun's heart was filled with a few waves, but his face remained calm and he did not show any strange expression.

"Have you two Taoist friends ever heard of this?"

Lan Yu, who was standing aside, asked the two of them curiously, with a different color flashing in his eyes.

"The dead souls of Jianxia City have nowhere to go, how could they not know about this?"

Shi Hao also told them about this matter angrily, saying that the people from the upper realm were extremely cruel and even massacred the city.

Lan Yu, who originally just wanted to listen to a story, was filled with anger after listening to it.

"The purpose of cultivation is to break through oneself and live longer."

"They actually did such a shameless thing, they really deserve to be beheaded."

Seeing Lan Yu's indignant look, everyone had different feelings in their hearts. At this moment, they suddenly felt that the so-called villain was the real hero.

At this moment, a man sitting in the corner suddenly spoke, his tone full of disdain.

"If I ever meet that person, I will definitely let him know how powerful I am."

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Lan Yu and the others turned their eyes to him.

Shi Qingyun glanced at him indifferently. He had sensed malice from the man from the very beginning, and he happened not to be a generous person.

"Oh, is it so?"

The divine power in his body surged out, and the Tai Chi seal in his eyes flashed.

The man was attracted by Shi Qingyun and looked over, but as soon as he looked into Shi Qingyun's eyes, his pupils suddenly shrank and his body began to tremble slightly.

The man felt his body lighten, and then it was as if he had fallen into a mouthful of thousand-year-old black ice, and his whole body was frozen.

And in the next moment, it was as if he was thrown into the eternal magma, rolling over and over, and the bones and flesh in his body were slowly being burned.

Between these two extremes, it keeps repeating.

Shi Qingyun slowly put down his wine glass, bowed to Hong Huang and the others, and said:

"Thank you for your hospitality, I am a little tired so I will leave first."

Then he went straight back to his room without paying any attention to their requests. Seeing this, Shi Hao also bid farewell to them.

After the two men left, the man slowly came back to his senses, but his condition was very bad at this time. His breath was weak and his body was already wet with cold sweat.

Thinking back to Shi Qingyun's indifferent eyes once again, I felt as if my heart was being gripped by something.

After returning to the room, Shi Qingyun immersed himself in cultivation once again. He did not take what happened just now to heart. Giving a small lesson was enough.

Time passed slowly, the ship traveled day and night, and soon reached its destination.

On the deck, the two were saying goodbye to Hong Huang and others, but the man who had been there before was nowhere to be seen.

"Friend Shi, Friend Wan, please take care of yourselves this time."

"We'll meet again someday."
