There are no ancestors at all; I made them all up.

Chapter 113 You can even comprehend this? [First Update]

After passing through the gate of light, a dazzling aurora pierced through the vast void, its interior shimmering with color, and the space on both sides rippling like water.

Chen Qing sat cross-legged on it, watching this magnificent scene. His mind was clear and his mind was at peace. The Tathagata Talisman shone with a warm golden light deep in his Niwan Palace, resonating with the unique enlightenment that this dream body possessed.

The "Tai Xu Gan Ying Pian," which had been progressing slowly, emerged from the depths of his heart. The obscure scriptures in the book now shone brightly in his mind, and he gradually came to understand the true meaning of "divine thoughts leaving the body and sensing the void."

Beside him, Master Hanjing sensed something, turned his head and saw wisps of void energy gathering around Chen Qing and wrapping around him. His eyes lit up and he nodded silently.

Beyond the Rainbow Bridge lies the Moon Palace, and the Jade Plain.

A chill permeated the plaza, which was covered in ice crystals.

The two female cultivators from Guanghan stood side by side, both dressed in white as snow, yet their temperaments were quite different.

The woman on the left is tall and slender, with a cool and aloof face and sharp eyes. She is the steward, Master Yun Shu, who is in charge of greeting us.

She held up a communication jade talisman and said, "The news is confirmed. Lin Feng and seventeen others joined forces but were defeated by that Daoist Jiming in a single move. No one could withstand a single sword strike from him. This person is not just a name; his moves are extremely precise, yet ruthless and decisive. At the Yin Spirit realm, he may be invincible. Pass down the order: all my Guanghan disciples must not cause trouble unless there is something important to discuss, and even less should they be invited to fight."

“Senior Sister is absolutely right.” The female cultivator on the right, Master Jiyue, softened her expression and nodded upon hearing this: “Such actions certainly reveal one’s abilities. I am quite curious about the kind of extraordinary person from the Eastern Region who can slay a Golden Core cultivator with his sword.”

Behind the two women, a number of young disciples had gathered. Upon hearing the order, many of them turned to look at one person.

This person, dressed in a black ice-clad outfit, with a commanding presence between his brows, is Ling Wan, the number one fighter of this generation in the Guanghan Palace.

During her second realm, she encountered a rampaging Yin God Perfected Ice Dragon. With her superb "Shattering Void Ice Escape" and "Moon Yin Finger", she managed to hold out for three days before finally escaping, shaking the northern lands.

Now that Ling Wan has advanced to the mid-stage of Yin God, her battle record is even more impressive. She has defeated sect elders who are at the peak of Yin God several times. Upon hearing about Chen Qing's deeds, she is not afraid at all, but her eyes are burning with fierce fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Master Jiyue whispered a reminder: "Junior Nephew Ling Wan, Ji Ming's methods are extraordinary. His explosive power can injure Golden Core cultivators. Moreover, his arrival is related to the sect's grand plan. Don't cause any unnecessary trouble."

Ling Wan's gaze was like lightning: "That's precisely why I want to see it for myself! To see just what kind of methods this person has that can make a Golden Core cultivator bleed!"

Master Jiyue shook his head helplessly: "Among those who witnessed it that day, the Sun Wheel Sect Master fell upon awakening, and the two elders of the East Sea Azure Water Pavilion and Xuan Island also perished in the melee. The specific reasons are now impossible to ascertain."

"Hehe, not entirely." An old but vigorous voice interrupted.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man dressed in a moon-white robe with flowing clouds and wearing a star crown drifting over. He was Elder Dian Hengzi of the Moonflower Mansion.

Beside him stood a cold and aloof young man with sharp eyes and a composed demeanor. He was a rising star among the younger generation of Yuehua Mansion, known for his stoicism.

Indigo stroked his long beard, glanced at Ling Wan, and smiled, "I have old friends in the East Sea and have pieced together some fragmented information, so this matter is not entirely without clues."

Upon seeing him, Master Jiyue asked, "What brings Daoist Dianheng here?"

“Of course we will come. It is still unknown who will inherit the Pure Yang Path.” Dian Hengzi laughed. “If that person from the Hidden Star Sect is truly a genius who can innovate, then if we pass on our teachings to him, it would be like using our Path to start a new branch! It might not be able to nourish the Path or maintain the lineage.”

Upon hearing this, Master Jiyue's expression changed slightly.

Ling Wan then asked, "Senior, do you know the details of the battle of Nichirin Island? Is it consistent with the rumors?"

Indigo Hengzi laughed and said, "The rumors are somewhat exaggerated. When the Sun Wheel Sect collapsed, the four Golden Core cultivators of the Hidden Star Sect, Shou Zhuo, Lie Yang, Han Jing, and Huan Yun, were all nearby. It is likely that they were restraining or even secretly helping, which is why Ji Ming Dao Ren was able to kill a well-known Golden Core cultivator with his Yin Spirit cultivation. Hehe."

At this point, he looked at Ling Wan and changed the subject: "My dear niece, you are also a master of the art of combat. You should know that the difference in realm is not something that can be easily overcome by skill. The essence of the Great Dao lies in realm and comprehension." He pointed to Leng Che beside him, "My disciple, for example, broke through to the Yin Spirit realm after only thirty years of cultivation. Recently, he even comprehended the wonder of 'Netherworld Condensation of Light' in the moonlight tide. This is the proper and righteous path."

"Old man Dianheng, all you've said so far is that you're just trying to belittle others in order to elevate your own disciple!" At this moment, a slightly mocking female voice suddenly rang out.

A beautiful woman dressed in a dark black palace gown, with a cold and aloof demeanor, appeared as she walked through the air.

Elder Youchan of the Taiyin Sect.

Behind her followed a young girl who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. She had an exceptionally beautiful face, but her eyes revealed a calmness that was beyond her years.

Youchan said without any politeness, "Daoist Jiming has made such a great name for himself, he must have extraordinary abilities! Are you belittling him to make your disciple seem dull? Even if he can really open up new avenues, it means he can prove the profound mysteries of the Dao. As long as he has practiced our Daoist cultivation methods, it will be enough to maintain the essence of the Dao and prevent it from declining in the erosion of heaven and earth."

Indigo Hengzi's expression darkened slightly: "Fellow Daoist Youchan, I am merely stating the facts and explaining the possibilities!"

at this time.

hum!
The deep blue portal of the Ice Soul Rainbow Bridge suddenly shone brightly, and the spatial ripples vibrated violently!

"They've arrived!" Master Yun Shu's expression turned solemn.

Two figures stepped out from the gate of light; they were none other than Master Han Jing and Chen Qing.

However, as soon as Chen Qing landed, he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes slightly, and isolated himself from the outside world, falling into a strange state of emptiness.

Within the not-yet-completely-closed rainbow bridge portal, specks of pale blue stardust began to gather around him!

Master Han Jing moved sideways, blocking Chen Qing's path. His wide, ice-patterned Daoist robe fluttered without wind, and a chilling and powerful protective aura spread out, blocking all the probing, scrutinizing, and even provocative gazes from the surrounding area.

"Fellow Daoists, please wait a moment. My junior brother, while traversing the rainbow, sensed something and stumbled upon a profound mystery. He is currently at a crucial juncture in his understanding and it is inconvenient to disturb him." What's going on?
Is this something that requires enlightenment?

You can gain insights just by riding the Rainbow Bridge?

On Hanyuping, everyone looked at each other, filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Azure stardust drifted from the slowly closing rainbow bridge portal, converging around Chen Qing, who was sitting cross-legged!

"The ethereal light of the Great Void is actually gathering on its own!" Master Yun Shu subconsciously made a calculation with her fingers hidden in her sleeve.

The composure on Indigo Hengzi's face vanished.

Elder Youchan's eyes gleamed with a strange light as she stared at the figure enveloped in azure starlight, then glanced at the girl beside her with a burning gaze, and whispered, "Let's wait and see."

Chen Qing seemed oblivious to the commotion outside.

His mind was immersed in the profound text of the "Tai Xu Gan Ying Pian" (Treatise on the Response of the Great Void), and the golden light of the Tathagata talisman flowed in his Niwan Palace, pushing his enlightenment to an unprecedented peak.

The obscure and difficult-to-understand true meaning of space gradually revealed its mystery in Chen Qing's heart through his personal experience of traversing the Rainbow Bridge!
The space around him began to ripple and distort subtly, as if the place where he sat had become a small, unstable domain of its own!
"Guiding the spirit into the body!" Master Jiyue observed intently. "It seems he's truly about to comprehend something!"

"Buzz!"

The gathered spiritual light of the void suddenly trembled and its radiance vanished!

A strange talisman, shaped like a dark blue ice crystal and containing tiny star-like points, was prominently displayed between Chen Qing's eyebrows!
The moment the talisman took shape, a sense of lightness and transparency spread out, and the space around Chen Qing became a little "softer".

He slowly opened his eyes, and deep within them seemed to flow a dark blue starry river, profound and boundless.

With a wave of his hand, the azure talisman disappeared into his brow like a weary bird returning to its nest.

"call--"

Chen Qing stood up, his aura harmonious and restrained. He nodded slightly to Han Jing Zhenren and said, "Thank you for your protection, Senior Brother." Then he glanced at the crowd on the platform, cupped his hands, and said, "This humble Daoist is Jiming. I greet all fellow Daoists."

The attitude of everyone on the platform subtly changed; they all became more reserved and polite, introducing themselves and giving a welcoming appearance.

Then Dian Hengzi said, “Fellow Daoist Jiming is insightful, able to gain some understanding from this Ice Soul Rainbow Bridge. He is clearly a cultivation prodigy, which is in line with the ‘Cold Moon’ path of my Moonflower Mansion. Why don’t you come with me?”

Youchan of the Taiyin Sect also said, "Indeed, you are dignified and have an extraordinary bearing. The Taiyin Sect's 'Taiyin Youming' path of cultivation emphasizes comprehension first, which is quite in line with yours, fellow Daoist."

Taiyin Sect?
Chen Qing's heart stirred slightly, then he became puzzled.

These people are a bit too enthusiastic. He was just trying to learn from this experience, like a day student. No matter how high his talent or how good his cultivation, it shouldn't have any impact on these sects. Why are they so eager for him after they see that he has exceptional comprehension?

As Chen Qing was pondering this, before he could even speak, Master Han Jing stepped forward.

"Fellow Daoists, I thank you on behalf of my junior brother for your kindness." He spoke calmly. "Whether our paths are compatible or not is a fundamental matter, so how can we be hasty? Let my junior brother fully comprehend what he has gained before we consider this matter."

As he spoke, he glanced around and asked, "Aren't the fellow Daoists from the Xuan Yin and Liang Yi sects here?"

Indigo Hengzi chuckled and continued, "The Xuan Yin Sect has a long history and profound foundation. They possess their own unique methods, so their interest in the Great Sun True Flame is probably just so-so. As for the Liangyi Sect, the cycle of Yin and Yang is their foundation. What they seek is merely icing on the cake, so naturally they are not as eager as we are. It's only because of our past friendship that we're giving them some face, so..."

At this moment, Master Yun Shu stepped forward and interrupted him, saying, "Fellow Daoist Jiming has traveled a long way and had a sudden enlightenment on the Rainbow Bridge. He certainly needs to calm down and sort things out. It is probably not a good time to talk about the Dharma and the Dao now. Our sect has prepared a quiet room. Fellow Daoists may wish to rest first. As for exchanging true understanding, we can discuss it after Fellow Daoist Jiming has completed his cultivation."

Her tone was calm, which suppressed Indigo Hengzi's provocative words.

Master Hanjing nodded: "Very well."

"In that case, let's talk about other things after you two have rested." You Chan bowed to the two of them, then turned and left with the quiet girl. As the girl left, she glanced at Chen Qing a few more times.

Ling Wan was about to speak when Ji Yue Zhenren stopped her, saying to Han Jing Zhenren, "Fellow Daoist, go and rest."

Thus, the two brothers, guided by Master Yun Shu, used their escape light to enter the gates of the Guanghan Palace.

This sect was not built as a pavilion, but stood in the middle of a glacier. The entrance was like a huge ice cave, with streaks of light passing through it.

As Dian Hengzi watched their retreating figures, a shadow crossed his eyes. After they left, he turned to Leng Che beside him and said, "Disciple, that Daoist Ji Ming is no match for you. He had some insights in the Rainbow Bridge. Who knows if he had prepared in advance, suppressed his emotions, and deliberately showed them off at this time to elevate himself?"

He paused, then continued, "I was being polite to him just now because no one on the Cold Moon Path has achieved the Golden Core in a long time. I thought that if this person had some skill, he could nourish your path and prevent your status from declining. The key is that the Great Sun True Flame Path will greatly benefit you! Not to mention the Golden Core is within reach, it's not impossible for you to advance to the next level!"

After a long silence, Leng Che spoke calmly: "Master, why bother explaining to your disciple? I have come here solely for the Pure Yang Daoist path. What Ji Ming Daoist, no matter how high his comprehension, is still a mortal with mortal roots. How can he be compared to a Daoist like me, whose hand is innately blessed with a treasure? My opponent is the me of yesterday!"

As he spoke, a red glint appeared in his eyes!
"What spirit!" Indigo Hengzi clapped his hands and laughed. "Truly worthy of being my disciple!"

　The second update will probably be around 11 PM...
