Cultivation: Beginning with the Heart Reflecting Heaven and Earth

Before long, several flying boats arrived, apparently transporting people back to the holy land in batches.

However, there are only a few dozen people waiting here, and one airship can hold them all. Do they need so many airships?

"You sit down next..."

Just then, someone tried to get on the airship in front, but was coldly refused.

Witnessing this scene, many people's eyes flashed with a sharp light, clearly realizing something.

However, no one made any unnecessary movements, and even those who had truly harbored inner demons showed no abnormalities at this moment.

This place has been locked down by the Holy Land; any abnormal action here is tantamount to courting death.

Even if you have some ideas, it's best to leave here before taking action. If you insist on causing trouble here, you're just asking for trouble.

Lu Qian and Mu Xue chose the fourth and last airship. They didn't say a word until the airship started moving, sitting there motionless like wooden statues.

After the flying boat had traveled some distance, someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise. Lu Qian quickly looked over and saw a large ship rising into the air, continuously spraying beams of light towards the three sects of Biyue, with mushroom clouds rising in the sky.

"It's a weapon of war!"

Mu Xue had clearly noticed the situation as well, and whispered, "They're probably using war artifacts to attack the core formations of the three sects of Biyue! Those formations are at least level three or higher; it would probably take several years to break through them by slowly surrounding them, so they've resorted to war artifacts!"

"The core formation of the Three Azure Water Sects is already connected to the earth's veins. Destroying it so simply and brutally will likely affect the island where the Three Azure Water Sects are located. The spiritual veins will gradually be severed, leaving the island desolate. The entire island may even sink into the sea and disappear forever."

A scholarly-looking young man revealed a look of regret. He clapped his hands, seemingly unable to contain his emotions, and said in a tone full of remorse, "How could the mistakes made by the Three Sects of Azure Water involve a Spirit Island? What a waste, what a waste! What a terrible squandering of resources!"

The moment this person spoke, the others on the flying boat were startled. It wasn't because they were shocked by what he said, since the Holy Land wouldn't have the patience to wait several years to destroy a Golden Core sect. Of course, they would do whatever was quick and convenient.

After all, this is the world of cultivation, where great power belongs to individuals. It's common for powerful figures to sink several islands in a single battle, so there's nothing to be too surprised about.

What truly surprised everyone was that before he spoke, no one had even noticed his presence. He didn't seem to have used any magic to conceal himself, yet his presence was incredibly faint, almost to the point that anyone who looked away would completely forget about him.

Immediately, someone knowledgeable exclaimed, "He is Yun Shanchuan! Ranked seventh among the Ten Talents of Canghai, yet the most mysterious! He's so enigmatic that you forget him as soon as you see him; even those who attend classes with him at Yunxiao Academy often overlook his presence!"

"It is said that he possesses a special constitution, with powerful celestial consciousness and extremely strong mental calculation abilities. If he wants to make people ignore him, under his mental influence, no one can notice his existence! Unless it is someone of a higher realm and with stronger mental cultivation than him!"

Hearing someone say that about him, Yun Shanchuan's lips twitched into a bitter smile. "So that's how it is... No wonder no one pays attention to me when I talk to them. Are they just not noticing me?"

In the short time that Yun Shanchuan was sighing, everyone else calmed down and fell silent, as if they had forgotten about Yun Shanchuan again in that short period of time.

However, while the others forgot, Lu Qian and Mu Xue were still watching Yun Shanchuan. Yun Shanchuan noticed this and quickly moved closer, smiling, "It seems only you two possess the discerning eye to see a pearl in the ocean!"

Lu Qian reluctantly replied, "We're both a bit tired. Why don't we talk about it when we get back?"

Yun Shanchuan nodded, a mysterious smile on his face, and stepped back. "That's true! Everyone's exhausted right now, but I have a feeling we'll definitely meet again!"

This time, Lu Qian ignored him. They both lived in the Holy Land and weren't in seclusion all year round. Wasn't it normal for them to meet? Did he really need a premonition?

Mu Xue had already closed her eyes. She rarely spoke to strangers and usually hid behind Mu Dong to deal with them. Now, she didn't even pretend anymore and simply acted as if she hadn't seen anything.

The airship continued flying forward, and this time it encountered no further accidents and successfully arrived at the Canglan Sacred Land.

However, when Lu Qian and the others got off the flying boat, they couldn't see the three flying boats in front of them at all. Had they already left, or was there some other reason?

When they were leaving, Yun Shanchuan came over to say goodbye, but Lu Qian and Mu Xue ignored his warm invitation and said they needed to go back and rest first.

Where did all those people go?

After walking a distance, Lu Qian finally asked, already having some guesses in his mind, "Does this mean we have to undergo the same kind of investigation?"

Mu Xue remained calm and nodded upon hearing this, "That should be the case. Moreover, among those people, there are definitely those who want to take advantage of the chaos, so the Holy Land will prepare methods in advance."

"However, this has nothing to do with us. So what if they never come back? We don't know any of them anyway."

That seems to make some sense. At least Lu Qian has been here for a while now, and he basically only has some private contact with the Mu siblings. He doesn't have much of a classmate relationship with the others, and he doesn't even know their names.

Disciples of the Canghai Sect need to make more friends and team up for quests.

It's different here. Most people here spend their days practicing spirituality, and there are dedicated instructors. They don't need to call on friends and family, and they can still have plenty of things to do.

Lu Qian asked, "When will the battle merits be available for exchange? Do we have to wait until everyone returns?"

"That should be the case. After the three sects of Biyue are destroyed, the Holy Land will probably review the scene at that time and only after confirming that there are no problems will the exchange be opened."

Mu Xue thought for a moment and quickly said, "Don't forget, it's not just us who have a battle merit ranking system; many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Holy Land can also obtain battle merits! How can we open the battle merit exchange system if we don't understand everything?"

Lu Qian sighed, "Looks like we'll have to wait a while! When the time comes, you can distribute the battle merits!"

"Exchange whatever you need."

Mu Xue lost her protective magical artifact and almost didn't make it back. Her meager battle merits could hardly make up for her loss, but Lu Qian couldn't offer any other compensation.

As they were about to part ways, Mu Xue suddenly hesitated and called out to him, "Are you alright with your injuries?"

Lu Qian assessed his physical condition before saying, "My mind is somewhat damaged, but it's not a big problem. Since there were no issues at the time, I should recover after some rest."

He had the dual protection of his inner world and his inner orifice. Although he had a splitting headache when attacked by Youhuan's divine sense, he gradually felt that the problem was not serious after recovering and that he would be fine after resting for a while.

Mu Xue said with a solemn expression, "I have read the Heart Demon Manual. In your case, you may be fine for the time being, but your mind has been left with a flaw! When you break through your realm in the future, or when you encounter people from the Heart Demon Sect again, the flaw in your mind will turn into an external demon, causing great trouble."

Lu Qian felt the problem probably wasn't that serious, but he couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be any issues, so he said, "Let's talk about it later! I'll get another checkup when I get back!"

Mu Xue nodded and said nothing more.

The two then parted ways.
