Cultivation: Beginning with the Heart Reflecting Heaven and Earth

Previously, he was like someone in the dark, unaware of the true nature of the place. Only after flying out with Tao Pili did Lu Qian discover that the Canghai Sect was located on an island, surrounded by many smaller islands.

Of course, the island where the Canghai Sect is located is very large, and it is not unreasonable to call it a continent. In fact, the so-called continent is just a larger island, and Lu Qian is not unaware of this.

In fact, Lu Qian had heard of the East Sea Immortal Cultivation World within the Canghai Sect, but at that time he had just entered the sect and had never even left, so he naturally had no personal experience of it.

Now that he was truly out here, Lu Qian had a deeper understanding of everything. As far as the eye could see, there was almost an endless expanse of blue ocean, with a few small islands scattered within it, no different from a sesame seed on the land.

Lu Qian couldn't help but recall Zhao Qi's earlier mention of guarding the small island. Putting aside the possibility of encountering demonic beasts and cultivators, the sheer loneliness of facing the vast ocean was enough to destroy one's spirit.

Of course, cultivators possess great power and have no concept of time in cultivation, so their spirits may be much more resilient. However, if they were to end up alone on a deserted island for several years, they probably wouldn't be very happy.

Fortunately, Lu Qian found a new way out and no longer needed to take on the task of guarding the deserted island.

Upon entering the sacred land of Canglan, one is greeted by a landscape of buildings, pavilions, towers, mountains, and flowing water, resembling a fairyland, breathtakingly beautiful.

At the heart of this sacred land of Canglan stands a towering black iron tower. At first glance, it doesn't seem particularly tall, yet it gives the impression of being the tallest in the world. No matter where you look, you'll be drawn to it, a truly peculiar feeling.

Tao Pili seemed to notice where Lu Qian's gaze was directed and explained calmly, "That is the Myriad Laws Battle Tower, which is also a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure of my Canglan Holy Land. In addition to being used to fight enemies, the Myriad Laws Battle Tower has another function, which is to serve as a training ground for disciples."

"The spirit of the Myriad Laws Battle Tower is called the Spirit of Myriad Laws. It can simulate most of the spells in the world and can also simulate battle scenes. As long as a disciple goes in to explore, he can test spells and fight against all kinds of enemies. Moreover, whether he is injured or killed, he will only lose some mental energy and his body will be safe and sound."

The Heavenly Treasure!

When Lu Qian was in the outer sect of the Canghai Sect, he had heard some common knowledge. Of course, not all sects had this knowledge, but the Canghai Sect was a large sect, so naturally they knew this and would popularize it among their disciples.

The Heavenly Treasure is usually crafted by a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord. It is incredibly powerful. Even for a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord, crafting a Heavenly Treasure is extremely difficult. Most Nascent Soul Celestial Lords either do not possess a Heavenly Treasure or inherit one from their sect.

After all, those who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage are almost never independent cultivators; most come from holy lands, and with the resources of holy lands, they naturally possess heaven-reaching spiritual treasures.

Even so, Lu Qian was still somewhat surprised that the Heavenly Treasure of the Canglan Holy Land was just sitting there.

Of course, this is not surprising. If it is only used for fighting, there are many Heavenly Treasures to choose from, but there are not many Heavenly Treasures that can be used to hone disciples. In this respect, the significance of the Myriad Laws Battle Tower far exceeds that of ordinary Heavenly Treasures.

Coming to this sacred land of Canglan was definitely the right decision!

If Lu Qian were in the Canghai Sect, he would just be an outer disciple, a nobody by the roadside.

He made the right choice in coming to the Canglan Holy Land. Regardless of what the future holds, he is already able to witness a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, something many cultivators might never see in their entire lives!

Of course, this is mainly because Lu Qian is too outstanding; it would be impossible for an ordinary person to come here.

"Once you're inside, you don't need to feel inferior. Your talent isn't in your spiritual roots."

From the very beginning, Tao Pili seemed to be hesitant, and as a result, Lu Qian got to hear these words from him.

Lu Qian immediately replied, "It's alright, I'm used to it at the Canghai Sect, I'm not that self-conscious."

"The standards for recruiting disciples in the Canglan Holy Land are quite different from those in your area. They prefer to have fewer but better disciples than to have inferior ones."

Tao Pili kept a straight face, as if he wanted to avoid hurting Lu Qian, but in fact he still did. "Of course, it's not like there's no room for sentimentality. Usually, if there are elders in the family who are at the Golden Core stage, they can send their juniors with two spiritual roots over."

"If they don't even have two spiritual roots, then we'll have to send them to a vassal state for training. Once they perform well, we'll arrange for them to come over..."

Lu Qian wasn't too shocked that even those with two spiritual roots had to use connections to enter the Canglan Holy Land. However, when he heard Tao Pili say that only those with Golden Core cultivation could arrange for their juniors to enter the Holy Land through connections, he suddenly realized that Tao Pili might be a Golden Core cultivator.

Lu Qian had always thought that Tao Pili was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and had not considered this possibility. Of course, the Canghai Sect also had Golden Core cultivators, but they were rarely seen by outer disciples. He did not expect that Tao Pili, who had brought him here, was actually a Golden Core cultivator!

However, Chu Qinggang's unyielding attitude towards Tao Pili seemed unusual, but Chu Qinggang was probably not a Golden Core cultivator, as Golden Core cultivators of the Canghai Sect rarely interacted with outer disciples.

Regardless, those matters are no longer relevant to Lu Qian for the time being. He will return to the Canghai Sect, but not now. When that time comes, he will repay all the humiliations he suffered before!

"So, if someone mocks or ridicules you, try not to react too much..."

Tao Pili's voice still echoed in his ears, pulling Lu Qian back to reality. "After all, your true talent cannot be revealed casually."

Lu Qian nodded seriously, "I understand."

He knew, of course, that he had gotten in through connections, so he had to keep a low profile.

Although Lu Qian actually had no background and entered the Canglan Holy Land through his own abilities, since he couldn't casually reveal this reason, and it might bring him danger if he accidentally did, he decided not to say it and simply consider himself as someone who got in through connections.

If Lu Qian were really a teenager, he would probably feel a bit aggrieved, knowing that he has the ability but is still misunderstood by others, which would definitely make him feel uncomfortable.

But he has lived two lives and experienced those things before. So what if he is misunderstood?

In reality, Lu Qian was able to enter the Xuan Tian Palace by cultivating the Zhou Tian Xing Qiao (a type of energy cultivation technique). Even if he didn't get in through connections, he was still considered a student with special talents. So even if others mocked him, it wasn't a big problem. His spiritual root talent was indeed unbelievable; under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have been able to enter the Cang Lan Holy Land.

Moreover, being able to use the back door at least indicates that he has some background. If he were in the Canghai Sect, Lu Qian could openly display this. Even in the Canglan Holy Land, he doesn't need to feel guilty. The rules are there anyway, and he has already used a spot brought by a Golden Core cultivator, so what's wrong with that?

If anyone has an opinion, they can voice it. If no one raises an opinion, it means it's allowed; at most, it's just a matter of saving face.
