Sister Qi Ling: “!!!”

. . . . . .

The spirit boat was less than a day away from the Su Kingdom, and sister Ye Junxi still took the opportunity to practice, while Qiu Yi decided to slow down.

It's not that he didn't practice anymore, but after following his sister's Nine Revolutions of the Mi Lun Immortal Sutra and refining a new Yuan Dan for himself that was filled with Xuan Huang Qi and entangled with Crimson Sky Thunder and Blue Sky Thunder, he felt a little overwhelmed and wanted to take a break.

This time he would not be so foolish as to sacrifice the Yuan Dan again. He would just keep it as a backup pill just in case.

Compared with the unexpected gain of Yuandan, which was a sudden inspiration, Qiu Yi was actually organizing his current small treasury.

The most valuable one among them should be the magical pill of unknown origin.

He also secretly tried to throw it into the Qi Sea to see what the reaction would be.

As a result, it floated up. According to some mysterious feeling, the Qi Hai seemed to have no appetite for it.

He then tried to absorb it with his spiritual veins, but none of his roots could penetrate into it and could only slide on its surface.

With no other choice, he had to put it in a jade box and keep it well.

Excluding this pill, Qiu Yi actually doesn't have any particularly valuable treasures in his hands.

Some spiritual fruits, medicinal herbs and materials obtained from the secret realm of the snowy mountains.

There are only a few thousand spirit stones left after snatching them from those young geniuses.

A barely usable Fang Tian Hua Ji. Well, after Qiu Yixiu became the Yuan Dan backup weapon, this weapon seemed to have gradually become useless.

The token of the Holy Land of Metamorphosis obtained by killing monsters is of little use at this stage.

Finally, there was the pile of almost useless jewelry and decorations. Except for the silver hairpin that he still looked good, the rest were thrown away by him, leaving them to take up space.

After taking out the storage bag his sister gave him and putting all the valuable things in it, the bored boy started playing with the two kinds of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

[The green spirit in the sky... the clouds and dew... the clear jade... reflecting the divine clouds...]

"Bixiao Yunlei?" Qiu Yi scratched his cheek, confused.

"Why is this name so weird? And that Jiang Xiao Ling Lei, why not just call him Bi Xiao Lei Jiang Xiao Lei? It's so difficult to pronounce, is it interesting? Does the previous Qiu Yi know how to name it?"

In the storage bag, the hairpin shook again, as if it had heard the boy's complaint.

Chapter 29: Yuan Dao Shen Xiao Jing

In the deep and quiet courtyard, a white wrist that is whiter than frost and snow holds up half of a picturesque face. The elegant and noble woman is dreaming about something, and her slender crescent-shaped eyebrows are tightly locked together.

In the dream, there was a nearly shattered wasteland, with withered grass and trees, cracked earth, and patches of dark flames burning. The air was filled with an atmosphere of oppression, palpitations, and despair.

Even the sky, which was originally full of stars, was now shrouded in thick darkness. The fallen stars turned to ashes in the flames, and hideous cracks covered the sky.

She also stood in the wasteland, her thin figure looking so lonely.

Around her, fellow Taoists who had united fell to the ground one by one. Some were pierced through the body by the Bixiaoyun thunder; some were locked up by the Jiangxiaoling thunder that turned into a divine chain; and some were nailed to the ground by the Mingxiaohuang thunder...

Everything indicates that the world is about to be destroyed.

The culprit who caused all this was slowly walking towards her with a magic sword transformed from Jin Xiao Yu Lei in his hand.

He seemed to be the source of destruction, and every step he took was leading to the end of the world.

The invisible fear made her body take a step back uncontrollably. Her gaze first froze on Jin Xiao Yu Lei for a moment, and then she gritted her teeth and looked at the face that was immersed in the darkness and almost invisible.

"I've thought of many futures, but never this one."

"What do you want to do? Will you be satisfied if you kill everyone and destroy this era? What can you gain?"

"Everyone had full confidence in you, but you took the initiative to fall into darkness. Why?"

"Qiu Yi, answer me!"

"..."

The visitor did not answer, instead there was only a thick darkness that emanated and the trajectory of a lightning sword slashing down.

……

The clear eyes slowly opened, a flash of despair and fear flashed across them, and crystal tears slid down the cheeks.

The woman did not move. She just quietly looked at the green bamboos swaying in the wind in the courtyard, letting the breeze dry the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She didn't know why she cried every time she had this dream. It was obviously all Qiu Yi's fault. It was obviously him who failed everyone's expectations. It was obviously him who ruined that magnificent era...

He did everything himself, and countless people died in his hands.

But...what's going on with this feeling of sadness that comes from the bottom of my heart?

Is it her inner weakness? Or is it her mockery of some of her past extravagant hopes?

She couldn't figure it out, but she wanted to know why!

At this moment, light footsteps were heard from outside the courtyard. The woman, who had been somewhat dazed, suddenly woke up and regained her usual calmness and serenity.

"Your Highness, the Grand Master invites you." A pretty little girl came over timidly, very nervous, and spoke softly.

Three days ago, the founder suddenly had a feeling in his heart, and ordered the brothers and sisters in the valley to forbid going out and open the great formation, saying that a disaster was approaching and if they were not careful, Tianji Valley would be destroyed.

At first, no one cared. Tianji Valley lived in seclusion, had little to do with cause and effect, and had close personal relations with the six holy places. So who could exterminate the sect?

Then this woman came.

No matter what peerless formations, guardian beasts, or magical forbidden weapons, none of them could stop her in the slightest. Even the divine turtle that had lived for eight thousand years could not block her attack. It was like she was walking into an empty space.

In desperation, the master had to bathe, burn incense, dress neatly, and go about receiving this important figure.

"Lead the way!"

The woman nodded and did not embarrass the girl. However, when she stood up, she looked at her with some surprise, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

The little girl has red lips and white teeth, and is very pretty. She has a natural aura that fits in with the atmosphere here very well.

She secretly thought, is it worthy of being a sect known for its secrets? They can also find such a seedling.

Tianji Valley does have some tricks.

Leaving the courtyard, there is no fancy star palace like the Star Gate in Tianji Valley, nor any cave with a long history. Deep in the valley there is only a peaceful pure land with beautiful scenery.

There are also many flowing springs and waterfalls, vines and green trees, winding streams, pavilions and towers, which are in harmony with nature, as if it is a fairyland on earth, containing a sense of returning to nature, which makes people daydream and dazed.

In an ancient pavilion, an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard was sitting cross-legged on a cushion. When he saw his disciple and the girl approaching, he stood up immediately and said, "Your Highness, I am sorry for offending you before, as we are honored guests."

The woman glanced at him, then glanced around, and finally withdrew her gaze from the bamboo forest behind the pavilion. She said calmly, "Since you call me an honored guest, why did you do everything you could to stop me before? And now you have dismissed all the disciples, leaving only the injured turtle here to meet me?"

The old man smiled bitterly and said his name: "The inheritance of our ancestors is profound and unfathomable. I have long foreseen that the distinguished guest will come. However, your background is too mysterious and your identity is too noble. I was unable to tell whether your coming is a blessing or a curse. Therefore, I am sorry for the offense. Please forgive me."

"Most people come to your Tianji Valley to calculate the secrets of heaven. How do you judge that I'm here to seek revenge?" The woman spoke, the gentle breeze lifting her hair, her voice ethereal and indifferent.

The old Taoist sighed and said quietly, "This is a mistake my disciple made a few years ago. At that time, among the six holy places, the Qingyang Ancient Country and the Doulong Holy Land came together, hoping to ask my disciple to predict some children with extraordinary talents, preparing to accept them as disciples. As luck would have it, His Highness happened to be born at that time, and my disciple predicted it..."

"It's you!" The woman narrowed her eyes and the temperature of her body dropped suddenly. In an instant, the entire pavilion was covered with a layer of frost, and the little girl who asked her to come over was even chattering her teeth.

She recalled some things that happened when she was young. If it weren't for the fact that she was reborn with the memories of the past, she would have been fooled by those people into joining their sect.

“Your Highness, please calm down. My disciple was too greedy for fame and fortune and did not understand that there are some causes and consequences that cannot be touched. That’s why he was punished by heaven and died fifty years ago.” Having said that, the old man sighed.

In fact, he didn't understand why his disciple had suffered such a disaster before, but after seeing the person in front of him, everything became clear. Some people, some things, and some secrets cannot be deduced. Even if they are deduced, they cannot be revealed, otherwise a disaster will befall him.

The woman's expression did not change much. These things were not the fundamental purpose of her coming here. If the person was not dead, she would still care about it. But since the person was gone, she would not go to such lengths to get along with a dead person.

"I heard that Tianji Valley's deduction of Tianji is unparalleled and has been passed down from hundreds of thousands of years ago to the present day. It can be seen that they have some skills, so I spent a lot of time trying to answer some of my doubts."

"Your Highness, you are joking." The old Taoist shook his head and smiled bitterly again, "The reason why Tianji Valley was able to inherit is that it seeks benefits and avoids harm, abides by the rules, and knows how to choose the general trend. It can't be said that it has any great ability, otherwise it wouldn't have to live in seclusion in this small place. However, Tianji Valley has offended Your Highness before, so we can make an exception and calculate it for you. I wonder what Your Highness wants to calculate?"

The woman was silent for a while, her bright eyes dimmed a little, then became clear again, and she said in a deep voice: "Count me as one person."

"Count as one person?"

The old Taoist priest was in a big headache, with cold sweat on his forehead: "Your Highness, your origin is so noble, and the person you want to calculate must be equally unfathomable. With the limited ability of Tianji Valley, I may not be able to calculate anything roughly."

"It doesn't matter, just go ahead and calculate it. I don't expect you to be able to figure out anything approximate, just a clue will be fine."

"This... I will do my best. May I ask who you want to calculate, Your Highness?"

The woman opened her bright red lips and uttered two words coldly: "Qiu Yi."

"Qiu...Qiu Yi?" The old Taoist was full of questions, and then he continued to ask, "Your Highness, please don't blame me for being too talkative. There are more than billions of creatures in the entire world of immortal cultivation. How can you deduce a name? I wonder if Your Highness can tell me the information you know in more detail, such as this person's origin, his title, his cultivation method, and what he has done? This will also give me a direction when I ask Tian Xin."

The atmosphere instantly seemed to have entered the depths of winter from late autumn, and the woman's aura became extremely suppressed.

She wanted to explain Qiu Yi's identity and background clearly, but she guaranteed that as long as she said a few simple words, Tianji Valley would rather commit suicide than to convict Qiu Yi even if their brains went out and they all hanged themselves!

Those of them who are able to pry into the secrets of heaven know best what they can ask and what they cannot touch.

The peerless deity who used to hold heavenly punishment and the controller of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

Everyone would stay away from it!

After thinking for a while, the woman said indifferently: "The technique he practices is the Yuan Dao Shen Xiao Jing. You can start from this aspect."

"The Yuan Dao Shen Xiao Jing? How come I haven't heard of it? Could it be a technique that has been lost long ago?" The old Taoist priest made handprints and calculated for a while, then shook his head and looked back at the woman in front of him: "I don't know what your Highness's relationship is with this Qiu Yi. Starting from you, maybe you can calculate something useful."

"!!!"

The woman didn't say anything this time, but just looked at him grimly, as if she would destroy his entire Tianji Valley if he asked one more question.

She and Qiu Yi no longer have any relationship.

"I'll calculate it right away. I'll calculate it right away." The old Taoist's face turned pale. He felt like he had almost died just now. He no longer had any hope and quickly used the secret technique passed down from his ancestors to calculate.

But after two breaths, he opened his eyes with a strange look on his face.

"What's wrong? Still nothing?" The woman was a little impatient.

"No... not really. It's just that I was very surprised. I thought the origin of the person Your Highness wanted to predict would be quite mysterious. Maybe I would have to suffer a great disaster. Maybe after this prediction, I won't have many years to live. I never thought it would be so easy."

“???” The woman was also shocked. Is it so easy to figure out Qiu Yi?

"The hexagram says that the person your highness has predicted is both far away and close at hand. He will meet you soon."

"What? He's still alive!"

On the other side, the young man got off the spirit boat, put his feet on the ground, and looked at the prosperous country ahead with curiosity and joy.

Chapter 30: Marriage Meeting

"Sister, is this necessary?"

Walking into the tall city gate, everything around him was new and interesting, but Qiu Yi's attention never left his sister.

Her smooth, straight hair only reached her shoulders, and her eyes like black pearls were set in her beautiful face. The woman, who was about twenty years old, wore a very common plain long skirt that completely covered her graceful figure.

Although he could understand why his sister would intentionally conceal her stunning beauty when traveling, the way she acted like a different person in an instant really opened his eyes.

After walking out of the spirit boat, it was only a few steps, and the young man himself could not see clearly, but his sister had changed into a beautiful face without him noticing. This efficiency was much more exaggerated than any of the four evil spells.

Fortunately, her appearance and clothes were different, but the temperament and intimacy she had developed over the years remained unchanged. Otherwise, Qiu Yi felt that he might not even recognize his sister if she stood in front of him.

"It's just to avoid some unnecessary troubles. It's just to go home. There's no need to be so high-profile."

Ye Junxi spoke softly, but being high-profile or low-profile was only one aspect of the relationship. After all, it was still the feeling of being homesick.

Qiu Yi was reminded of some sayings on Earth that some young people in the city looked glamorous, dressed in suits and ties, like successful young people of the new era.

But after returning to the countryside, he became a completely different person, vulgar and unsophisticated, with no trace of his previous self left.

Is this also the so-called local sentiment?

But if I think about it carefully, what my sister said makes sense. In a city mainly inhabited by mortals, if my sister shows up in her true form, her fairy-like beauty will cause such a sensation. I can't expect to have a peaceful life then.

No longer worrying about these things, following his sister and looking at the bustling and bustling capital, Qiu Yi felt that there seemed to be a slight discrepancy between imagination and reality.

"Sister, Su Country is really a mortal country. Why does it seem different from what you said?"

In Ye Junxi's words, Su State was an ordinary country. However, due to the secret support of certain forces, the shadow of the immortal cultivation world was basically extinct here. Although people did not live and work in peace and contentment, no one picked up things on the road, and did not lock their doors at night, at least they lived a rich life without too many worries.

After all, many things need to be embellished with superficial peace.

But now...

On the wide streets, there were not only many mortals doing business and shouting, selling food such as steamed buns, steamed buns, and tofu pudding, but there were also quite a few monks walking among them.

A young man with a long sword on his back, a girl riding two wind wolves, an old Taoist in a Taoist robe and holding a whisk... Although the two sides maintained a clear boundary, there was surprisingly not much conflict.

In addition, on both sides of the road, around some restaurants, inns, teahouses and shops opened by mortals, there are occasionally one or two immortal shops similar to the Treasure Pavilion, auction house, and Colosseum. They are unique and yet indescribably harmonious, which really opened the boy's eyes.

"Is there any problem with this? Don't you think about how long I've been gone? On Earth, 10,000 years is enough for humans to move from the Stone Age to the modern high-tech era. The Su country has undergone so many changes, it's no big deal."

Ye Junxi was also surprised, but she could understand that time always moves forward and it is impossible to remain unchanged. Even this city is completely different from what she remembered. After nearly ten thousand years of changes and countless expansions and reconstructions, there is no trace of it left.
