Jiang Peng felt the world spinning around her.

When his vision cleared, he found himself no longer in the back hall of the Dragon and Snake Temple, but instead in the clouds.

Jiang Peng initially thought this was an illusion created by the True Lord.

After all, he was no stranger to similar situations. Whether it was the illusion of the Purple Gold Cauldron or the illusion when the slovenly Taoist taught him the Gale Step, they all seemed to be similar methods.

But soon, Jiang Peng noticed something was wrong.

He realized that the clouds in front of him were incredibly real, the wind was howling in his ears, and eagles were soaring in the distance.

Why would the illusion of transmitting the Dharma need such things?

"This is not an illusion; I have truly brought you to the heavens."

The voice of the Dragon-Snake True Lord rang in my ears.

Jiang Peng subconsciously looked in the direction from which the sound came, only to see that the Dragon Serpent True Lord was now wearing an extremely solemn robe, completely different from his casual appearance in the back hall earlier.

"This is my nascent soul form, but this matter is too far removed from you, so don't worry about it... Instead, look at yourself."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Peng lowered her head slightly.

He then discovered that his body was semi-transparent and appeared to be constantly twisting, fluctuating, and unstable.

"Is this my soul? I've actually had a soul journey through the heavens?" Jiang Peng exclaimed in surprise.

The True Lord nodded and said softly, "Those with different souls begin to show their talents after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, and their cultivation progresses smoothly, but their souls are a weakness... It's not that our souls are inferior to those of cultivators at the same level; on the contrary, our souls are naturally stronger."

"But the physical body is the foundation, and the hidden danger of the body and soul being out of sync will make it very difficult for us people with different souls to pass the stage of leaving the body... But for ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, it is already a matter of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment to have their soul leave the body."

"Once you reach the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, there's no time for you to reflect... Once you've reached that stage in your cultivation journey, you can't simply stop whenever you want."

A look of curiosity appeared in Jiang Peng's eyes.

He had never known these things before, and no one had ever told him about them.

A Foundation Establishment Ninth Level cultivator—it seems like their own path is actually propelling them forward?

However, Zhenjun did not give Jiang Peng a chance to ask questions, but continued to say to himself: "Everyone knows that the gale suppresses the soul, but in fact, the gale layer in the high heavens is also a good place to condense the soul... Today I will teach you the 'Soul Travel Technique'."

"This method can cause your soul to leave your body, but remember to be extremely careful when practicing it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the True Lord beside him raised his hand and pointed.

Jiang Peng suddenly felt a lot of unfamiliar information appear in her mind. After reading it carefully, she found that the information not only contained a spell called "Soul Travel Technique", but also some insights and experiences of her predecessors when they practiced this technique.

Such a wonderful method captivated Jiang Peng on the spot.

He forgot the time, and even forgot that he was still in a state of out-of-body experience, his mind only focused on studying the "Soul Travel Technique".

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Peng finally came to her senses.

He looked around and realized that he was still in the gale-force layer high in the sky.

With a thought, his soul suddenly shrank to half its original size, but although his body became smaller, the strength of his soul more than doubled.

Then, following the methods in "Soul Travel Technique," he explored his mind and was able to sense the direction of his physical body.

Without hesitation, Jiang Peng immediately used her divine soul to rush straight to her physical body.

My vision blurred for a moment.

When Jiang Peng opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar hotel room.

Recalling this experience of her soul leaving her body, Jiang Peng felt a sense of novelty.

The feeling of freedom and unbridled joy when his soul left his body was a completely new sensation he had never experienced before.

But Jiang Peng quickly suppressed her longing for freedom.

The book "Soul Travel Technique" mentions something similar. The biggest fear when practicing this technique is becoming obsessed with astral projection. Damage to the soul is much more troublesome than physical injury.

Stepping out of the room, Jiang Peng immediately spotted Li Yue playing in the open space outside.

Li Yue also noticed Jiang Peng and immediately came to greet her.

"Fellow Daoist, how long have I been in seclusion?"

"Senior slept for three days!" Li Yue didn't care what Jiang Peng said. In her opinion, Jiang Peng was asleep when Dao Ye brought her to this guest room.

"The True Lord has gone into seclusion. Master Zhang instructed that if you wake up, you may leave on your own," Li Yue added.

Jiang Peng nodded.

"Where is Fellow Daoist Huang Cheng?"

"I went out of the temple with Master Zhang."

Jiang Peng knew that it was time to leave the Dragon and Snake Temple.

...

Because of the matter of the demonic cultivators, which delayed them for a few days, Jiang Peng and Ah Huang traveled at full speed after leaving the Dragon and Snake Temple, and arrived at Bibo Port in just three days.

The visit to the Liu family went smoothly.

As always, Liu Linong's father, Liu Xian, greeted Jiang Peng, and Jiang Peng took the opportunity to talk about Liu Linong's situation.

"Huh?" Jiang Peng was taken aback, somewhat confused.

Liu Xian laughed and said, "Although my Liu family has some resources, we are not yet at the point where we would send our top-grade spiritual root talents out to study under a master... Back when that kid was at home, he was a reckless and unruly person, and we couldn't control him at all."

When Liu Linong was mentioned, Liu Xian still had a smile on his face, but his tone became clenched with anger.

"I've tried everything I could think of as his father, beating him every few days, but the kid still refused to cultivate his inner energy... In the end, I had no choice but to find someone to discipline him, since I couldn't bear to see his great talent go to waste."

Jiang Peng had never known there was such a secret.

But considering Liu Linong's stubborn nature—the kind of boy who would only budge an inch after being whipped three times—Jiang Peng thought it made sense.

"In short, if that kid is too unruly, just go all out and teach him a lesson... If you have even a little bit of leniency and go easy on him, not only will that brat not remember your kindness, but when he grows up and becomes independent, he'll say that you weren't quick or ruthless enough back then."

Jiang Peng agreed wholeheartedly and immediately began to discuss with Liu Xian his experience in beating up younger people.

As they were talking, the two arrived at the main hall of the Liu family mansion.

Jiang Peng met Liu Zhu, the head of the Liu family.

There were no major setbacks in Xuanxinye's case.

During the ten years that Cangshan Sect was closed off, the Liu family did not send anyone to deliver the Xuanxin Leaf to Cangshan Sect, but the Liu family also left the share belonging to Cangshan Sect for the sect.

"The harvest has been poor these past ten years. I have only three Xuanxin leaves in total. Please keep them safe, my brother."

Jiang Peng carefully put away the Xuanxin Leaf.

Then, Liu Zhu took the initiative to talk about the great battle in front of the Cangshan Sect's gate ten years ago.

"Back then, our ancestor personally took action and severely injured Master Fang of Feiyan Tower... Feiyan Tower has been quiet for the past ten years, but recently it has started to become active again. Please convey this matter to Master Lü of your sect."
