Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 364 Inheritance of Cultivation Techniques
Yi Qing was surrounded by subjugated creatures in Qinghai. Without the suppression of the formation, she teleported several times and arrived in Xinping County in Tiannan Prefecture.

As for Yi Ling, she didn't rely on Yi Qing's teleportation, but instead left Qinghai by flying.

Tiannan County was a relatively impoverished county in Qingzhou a few decades ago, but over the decades, it has become exceptionally prosperous.

Yi Qing came to Xinping County in Tiannan Prefecture because there was a branch of the Yi family there.

After settling in temporarily at a second-tier spiritual vein controlled by the Yi family, Yi Qing instructed the cultivators of the spiritual vein to send a message to the head of this branch family, asking him to come and see him.

The most magnificent palace on the Danshui spiritual vein was Yi Qing's temporary residence.

This Dan Shui spiritual vein is a second-tier spiritual vein, and a protective array has been set up on it.

After easily grasping the core of the formation, Yi Qing retrieved the information recorded in the formation over the years.

Soon, she gained a general understanding of the Yi family in Xinping County.

Currently, the head of the Yi family in Xinping County is Yi Chaoyun, a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. Similarly, there are also cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots in the family.

Of course, those cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots who are currently cultivating do not have the talent of Yi Qing and his siblings. They are just ordinary cultivators who need to accumulate a lot of experience to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

The Yi family of Xinping County has eight spiritual veins. The spiritual vein at the center of the family is the only third-order spiritual vein, while the remaining seven spiritual veins are all first- or second-order spiritual veins.

Information about other spiritual veins is not recorded much in this great formation, but the Dan Shui spiritual vein is recorded in detail.

After reviewing the information, Yi Qing's gaze shifted.

"The Danshui Spirit Vein automatically advanced to the second tier ten years ago. It seems that some of the world power that the Immortal Kingdom plundered from the Northern Mountain Spirit Realm has been injected into Qingzhou."

Perhaps in a few hundred or three to five thousand years, Qingzhou will become a top-tier prefecture.

I wonder if this is because of the Creation Realm.

Yi Qing wasn't surprised that the Immortal Kingdom had upgraded the ley lines of Qingzhou; over the years, she had obtained a lot of hidden information through soul searching.

Tens of millions of years ago, when the human race first arrived in the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm, the ancient Qingzhou was one of the top cultivation worlds in the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm, with a very strong foundation.

After witnessing the changes in Qingzhou over the years, Yi Qing understood why Yi Jun and Yi Feng had sent Yi Ze back to Qingzhou.

If Qingzhou were still a lower-tier state, or even if it were to revert to a mid-tier state, there probably wouldn't be many cultivation families capable of threatening the Yi family of Pingyuan County.

However, if Qingzhou becomes a superior state, then the most powerful cultivators, such as those at the Great Dao Nascent Soul stage, the Void Return stage, and even the Dao Integration stage, will very likely come to Qingzhou one after another.

Without the power to contend with the Great Dao Nascent Soul and the Dao Integration True Immortal, the Yi family would not only fail to maintain its current status as the number one cultivation family in Qingzhou, but might not even be able to hold onto its territory in Pingyuan County.

If Yi Ze were to advance to the Golden Core stage of the Great Dao, he would not only be strong in his own right, but also have a True Spirit Unicorn and a bunch of powerful unicorns to help him. Even if he faced a Nascent Soul stage of the Great Dao or a True Immortal of the Dao Integration stage, he would not be at a disadvantage.

If it weren't for Yi Ling wanting him to go to Luofu Prefecture to help her repay the favor of Immortal Spirit Jade Liquid, Yi Qing would have really wanted to stay in Qing Prefecture for a while.

Even now, within the Immortal Kingdom, the land remains a place of peace and prosperity, with strict laws and regulations.

However, as the army that was conquering the Northern Mountain Spirit Realm turned back midway, things became somewhat unsettled underground in the eight hundred states of the Immortal Kingdom.

Because the Immortal Kingdom used its army, which was originally meant to conquer the Northern Mountain Spirit Realm, to conquer the underground.

Nowadays, the underground worlds of various states in the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm are not only battlegrounds for the Immortal Kingdom's army and underground creatures and innate deities, but also places where many immortal cultivation families settle their accumulated grudges after 100,000 years of peace in the Immortal Kingdom.

Although the Underworld of Qingzhou has been established, the underground world has countless layers and an incredibly complex structure. It is impossible for the gods in the Underworld to monitor everything underground as they do on the surface, let alone now, even in 100,000 years.

"However, Qingzhou used to be a medium-sized state, and the resources accumulated underground were not particularly abundant or precious. Apart from the convenience of receiving help from the Yi family, Qingzhou doesn't seem to be much better than Luofu State, since Luofu State is a top-tier state after all."

"Yes, when we head to Luofu Prefecture, let's call Yi Yan along. She has nine True Spirit Summoning Beasts. With the help of the Spirit Slaughtering Sword and her True Spirit Summoning Beasts, let alone the remnants of the Luofu Buddhist sect hidden underground, we can even defeat the Great Dao Nascent Soul cultivators from meritorious families and the Dao Integration True Immortals from ancient families."

After waiting for three days, Yi Yan finally met Yi Chaoyun, the head of the branch family in Xinping County.

From Yi Chaoyun, Yi Yan learned more about Qingzhou and Xinping County.

After hearing about the events in Xinping County, Yi Yan looked at Yi Chaoyun with a puzzled expression.
"Is this Zhao family a branch of some ancient or meritorious family? How come they can rival our Yi family in Xinping County?"
I remember there were over a hundred branch families in Qingzhou. It seems that even the worst-performing ones at least controlled a single county.

"The Zhao family, whose head is Zhao Tian, ​​whose Daoist partner is Fang Li, and whose son Zhao Xianzong once cultivated in the Ten Directions Insect Domain and is now following Yi Taizhen.

The Zhao family used to be affiliated with Shenmu Forest, and many members of the family have bloodlines from the Yi family.

Moreover, Tiannan County is one of the counties near Qinghai, and it has many branch families of cultivation clans. Only through our joint efforts with the Zhao family can we maintain the current situation.”

Upon hearing Fang Li's name, Yi Qing's gaze shifted.

Speaking of which, Fang Li brought three daughters with her when she came to the Yi family: Fang Fei, Fang Ping, and Fang Xia.

These three people followed her to the Mountain and Sea Realm, but now the Mountain and Sea Realm has vanished without a trace, and the three of them have also lost contact.

Although Yi Qing didn't care much about Fang Li, his aunt who didn't even care about his father, he still felt a little guilty for losing her three daughters. Therefore, out of respect for the Zhao family, Yi Qing didn't plan to get involved in their affairs. Yi Qing's original intention was to have Yi Chaoyun come to Xinping County before he gained too much power, so that the Yi family could drive the Zhao family out as soon as possible, but alas...

After learning about the general situation in Qingzhou, Yi Qing lost patience with chatting with a weak Nascent Soul cultivator like Yi Chaoyun and gestured for him to leave.

Yi Chaoyun hesitated for a moment before speaking:

“Fairy Yi Qing, all the branches of our Qingzhou family are still supplying resources to the main family. Especially in recent decades, the main family has needed even more resources, and we have tried our best to meet their needs. Now, the hundred-year period has passed, but there has been no further news about the Nascent Soul cultivation technique.”

"The Nascent Soul Technique?"
"Can't Yi Ze handle this little thing?"

Yi Qing was somewhat surprised.

If we're talking about the inheritance of the Heavenly Book, it's understandable that Yi Ze didn't inherit it.

However, given Yi Ze's ambiguous relationship with the ancient cultivators in the Northern Mountain Spirit Realm, Yi Qing did not believe that the other party had not received such an inheritance, even if it was a Nascent Soul or Void Return inheritance.

"After returning to Qingzhou, Patriarch Yi Ze has been in seclusion in the Shenmu Forest and has not yet emerged from seclusion."

Yi Qing pondered for a moment, then looked at Yi Chaoyun.
"I'll ask Yi Ze about this. You may leave now."

Yi Chaoyun left somewhat unwillingly.

Yi Qing could clearly see Yi Chaoyun's expression, and she also understood his little scheme.

Although the Nascent Soul Transformation inheritance was not a precious thing to her, Yi Qing had killed so many people in Qinghai, including cultivators from the Ten Great Immortal Sects. He had obtained many ancient cultivation inheritances through soul searching. Not to mention the Nascent Soul Transformation inheritance, he had even compiled two complete Void Return inheritances through soul searching.

However, in Jinxiu's view, all knowledge is valuable.

It's impossible for cultivators from the Yi family to obtain ancient cultivation inheritances from her for free.

Most cultivation families are able to solidify their family cohesion, but bloodline is only the least important factor; self-interest is the primary reason.

If the branch family members could easily obtain the inheritance of the Nascent Soul stage or even the Void Return stage, would they still be able to supply resources to the main family with peace of mind in the future?

Of course, given Yi Chaoyun's close relationship with the Zhao family, she might have already obtained one or two Nascent Soul inheritances from Yi Taizhen. Perhaps the other party wants to obtain even better inheritances from Yi Qing.

However, Yi Qing did not delve into Yi Chaoyun's intentions.

In Yi Qing's view, an ancient cultivator like Yi Chaoyun, if he doesn't become a true immortal, will eventually turn to dust, so there's no need to care what they think.

In the following days, Yi Chaoyun tried to see Yi Qing under various pretexts, such as finding some rare insect or some treasure that could not be identified.

However, Yi Qing completely ignored the other party and had no intention of seeing them.

On this day, Yi Ling finally arrived at the Dan Shui Spirit Vein and met with Yi Qing.

The two sisters haven't sat down and chatted together in a long time.

Looking at Yi Qing, Yi Ling said with some emotion:
“Among us five siblings, your and Yi Jun’s supernatural abilities are truly extraordinary. Even among the innate supernatural abilities of true spirits, there are few that can compare to yours.”

When Yi Ling said this, she wasn't just flattering Yi Qing; she genuinely felt that way.

Without the knowledge and supernatural powers of Buddhism and the help of the True Spirit Longevity Turtle, it would have been completely impossible for her to directly contend with the Great Dao Nascent Soul or the Dao Integration True Immortal for a period of time simply by studying supernatural powers on her own.

Both Yi Jun and Yi Qing are able to fight against Nascent Soul cultivators and even True Immortals of the Dao through their own supernatural abilities.

In Yi Ling's view, Yi Qing, who possesses the Heavenly River Space, perfectly inherited the characteristics of his mother's natal magic weapon, "Infinite Energy." Even if he did not conduct research on the insect hive and instead focused on studying the special water species, Heavenly River Weak Water, he could still elevate it to an incomparably powerful level by relying on the power of the Heavenly River.

Her Li Huo (fire) may not be inferior to Tianhe Ruoshui (weak water), but she is inferior because she lacks the infinite energy of Tianhe Space, the power of Tianhe.

When Yi Qing used the supernatural power, the Heavenly River Weak Water, the Heavenly River stretched across the sky, and the range of the supernatural power was unbelievably large. She could also use the ability to teleport over extremely long distances at will. Obviously, it was completely impossible for her to do this with her magic power alone.

Yi Qing's ability to contend with the Great Dao Nascent Soul and the Dao Integration True Immortal is precisely because of her inexhaustible energy, which directly equalizes the magical power accumulated by the Great Dao Nascent Soul and the Dao Integration True Immortal over tens of thousands of years or even longer.

Yi Ling had a general understanding of Yi Jun's supernatural abilities. Among Yi Jun's supernatural abilities, the most powerful divine swords could help him cultivate his magical power. With the help of those divine swords, Yi Jun's cultivation efficiency was extremely high, and the speed at which his magical power increased was unbelievable. In addition, those divine swords had powerful abilities that surpassed their masters, so fighting against true immortals was not a problem.

Yi Qing smiled slightly. She deeply agreed with Yi Ling's words. Over the years, she had also felt that her supernatural abilities were beyond imagination.

Well, in her opinion, among the cultivators of the Immortal Kingdom, in terms of supernatural powers, there are probably fewer than a handful who can compare to her. Even Yi Jun and Yi Qing are not worth her attention. She will soon be able to figure out how to convert the power of the Heavenly River into magic power more efficiently.

Once she cultivates her vast magical power, even at the Great Dao Golden Core stage, she will no longer consider most of the Great Dao Nascent Soul and Dao Integration True Immortals in the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm a threat.

Yi Qing looked at the spatial layer. If it weren't for the True Spirit Turtle, Yi Qing would have wanted to have a match with Yi Ling and take advantage of the moment to suppress her.

"Alright, let's talk about Luofu Prefecture."
