They are the women standing behind me.

Qin Xingyuan nodded.

After that, he put on his clothes and kissed Mei Xueshuang. She had been tired all night and wanted to have a good rest, so she lay down again.

……

Chapter 595: Why establish a sect?

……

Then Qin Xingyuan went to find He Chaoge. After the battle with He Chaoge, he went to see his senior brother Gui Yiling. Gui Yiling saw him and suggested, "Junior Brother Qin, why don't you go to the ancestral temple?"

Qin Xingyuan was a little surprised to hear this.

He naturally knew about the ancestral temple.

The hall where the founder of the sect once lived is a holy place for the disciples of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect.

"Big Brother, why am I entering the ancestral temple?" Qin Xingyuan asked with some confusion.

A smile appeared on Gui Yi Ling's face, but he didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Junior Brother Qin, do you know why the founder founded a sect? Why did so many figures, even the invincible one, break away from their original sects to found their own sects and pass down the Taoist tradition?"

Qin Xingyuan really didn't know about this.

"Whether it's you, me, or others like Elder Mei, once we join the sect, we become members of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect and accept the teachings of the founder. To put it bluntly, the founder gathers the power of faith through his preaching, strengthening himself."

Gui Yi Ling said earnestly, "So, the larger the sect, the greater this power. But if the sect weakens, or even disappears, this power will naturally weaken and disappear. But this power can indeed be useful to you, Junior Brother Qin. You can truly obtain the sect's power and become stronger."

Qin Xingyuan was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Doesn't this mean that if our sect continues to prosper, or even grows stronger and produces more talented people, then the ancestor will actually become more powerful?"

Gui Yi Ling nodded slightly and jokingly said, "If establishing a sect wouldn't benefit the ancestor, why would he do it? Even in the Immortal Realm, the human race's domains, and the large, medium, and small forces everywhere, it's because by establishing a sect and preaching, they can gather the power of faith to strengthen themselves. For example, didn't even that demon clan lackey Yang Zhiyi establish a sect? He just wanted to gather the power of faith to make himself stronger. So the ancestor established a sect mostly for his own benefit. No one would ever do something that doesn't benefit themselves."

"But isn't this power related to the Grandmaster?"

Qin Xingyuan couldn't help but ask, "Can I use it?"

"If it were someone else, Senior Brother would naturally assert that it would be impossible to use it, but if it were Junior Brother Qin's, then perhaps it could be used. If you can do it, then the existence of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect can truly make you stronger."

Gui Yi Ling was a bit more serious. "Of course, if that doesn't work, Junior Brother Qin, you still have a feasible plan. You can transcend from the Yin Yang Five Elements Sect, establish your own sect, pass down the Taoist tradition, become a patriarch of a sect, preach the Tao, and use disciples to gather the power of faith. Even if there are only a few in the early stage, it is still a force. Therefore, many sects will take the initiative to let talented disciples establish their own sects, just like the founder of the Sun and Moon Palace, who walked out of our Yin Yang Five Elements Sect."

Qin Xingyuan also remembered this. During his time in the Sun and Moon Palace, he heard Li Sujin say that the founder of her sect came from his sect.

Gui Yi Ling added, "What's more, our sect will help the sect you founded, Junior Brother Qin, and allow it to grow and develop in the shortest possible time. This will make this force stronger, and you won't need to worry about it yourself. You can just be the patriarch and not worry about anything. At the same time, our sect will also be able to develop a vassal force of its own. This is actually killing two birds with one stone."

Qin Xingyuan smiled upon hearing this, then shook his head. "Big Brother, I won't join the Ancestral Temple. I don't aspire to establish a sect and become its founder. Besides, I'll just speak frankly to Big Brother. I don't think the power of faith can be truly relied upon forever. Ultimately, it's closely related to the strength of the forces behind it. Once it weakens or even disappears, it will all be in vain. The only one we can rely on is ourselves."

"Junior Brother Qin, don't you really want to try entering the ancestral temple?"

Gui Yi Ling advised, "The power of faith is absolutely extremely powerful and terrifying. Otherwise, how could so many powerful figures establish their own sects and preach the Dharma? So in a sense, Brother, you are sure that it is not much inferior to the power of law. It is very likely a substitute for the power of law, and it is more capable of competing with the power of law. Because if the power of faith is not strong enough, it is not possible for so many people, even the invincible one, to establish their own sects and preach the Dharma!"

Qin Xingyuan knew that what the senior brother said was definitely valid.

The power of faith is not strong enough. What was the purpose of his sect's founder and the founders of so many large, medium and small forces in all the major domains of the human race when they founded their sects and preached?

Monks are all realistic, and everyone will only do things that are truly beneficial to themselves.

But Qin Xingyuan still refused.

Gui Yi Ling didn't try to persuade him anymore, but instead expressed some regret. He then asked, "When does Junior Brother Qin plan to leave the Extreme Southern Region?"

"If you want to leave, you will leave naturally."

Qin Xingyuan said clearly: "Although it is always better to stay at home for a thousand days, and I really don't want to leave, but there will be a time to leave."

This was the truth. He lived a very easy and comfortable life in the sect. There were no fights or troubles. He had various things to do every day and was quite fulfilled and happy.

This kind of life indeed made him a little obsessed.

Gui Yi Ling stroked his graying beard and took the initiative to say, "Brother, I suddenly remembered that time when Nangong Tai Shang, despite all the opposition, was determined to let Junior Brother Qin, who was at the Jindan realm, leave the sect. He said that only this vast world could cultivate an invincible person, and that our sect alone could not cultivate such a person. So if you want to leave, then leave. No one will stop you."

Qin Xingyuan also remembered a lot, and then chatted a lot with his senior brother Gui Yiling before saying goodbye and leaving.

He really decided to leave the sect.

Since he couldn't defeat He Chaoge, who was in the early stage of the Tribulation Realm, it meant that he probably couldn't break free from these shackles in the sect, so he had to go out and try.

He felt reluctant.

Because Mei Xueshuang would not go with him, and he also enjoyed his time in the sect.

But in the end, we still have to continue to go into that vast world, fight everywhere, work hard, and reach a higher level.

When he returned to the small courtyard where he lived, Mei Xueshuang and Su Yaoqing were there.

After all, Su Yaoqing learns something from him every day.

Mei Xueshuang was still wearing a loose purple robe, unlike Su Yaoqing who was wearing fashionable and gorgeous clothes.

"Xue Shuang, Senior Su, I plan to leave the sect."

Qin Xingyuan began to speak. Hearing this, Mei Xueshuang was only slightly stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses and continued with extraordinary certainty: "Then when we meet next time, I will have walked my own path and found the true path."

"what?!"

Su Yaoqing's expression changed a lot, and there was a light of reluctance in her beautiful eyes. Then she looked at Mei Xueshuang and Qin Xingyuan and laughed dryly twice, "It seems that during this period before Xiao Qin leaves the sect, I'd better not come."

She quickly got up and left, even leaving the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect and going directly to the Sun and Moon Palace, where she met Li Sujin, who was wearing a light-colored loose robe.

Because Mei Xueshuang didn't plan to go far away with Qin Xingyuan, she also planned to do so. If he didn't have anyone by his side in the future...

It must be quite lonely, right?

I wanted to talk, but there was no one to talk to.

Li Sujin made a pot of tea and poured a cup for Su Yaoqing.

Su Yaoqing picked up the tea, looked at the steaming hot tea, and said, "Little Sister Li, it seems that Xiao Qin has been back to the sect for some time."

"What's wrong?" Li Sujin asked with some confusion.

"He could be gone at any moment."

"He is such a person, so sooner or later he will have to return to that vast world to fight, to strive, and to make great strides forward."

Li Sujin smiled faintly, "I would be surprised if he stayed in the Yin Yang Five Elements Sect forever."

Su Yaoqing took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "What I mean is, don't I want to come to Li Xiaomei's sect to be an elder? Then I'm in your sect, you can go with Xiao Qin and have fun everywhere. Don't you think Li Xiaomei trusts me, a female cultivator in the Great Tribulation Realm, to manage your sect well?"

"Senior Su, I trust you, but there's no need to do this. I've been with you for too long. If I want to leave the man I like, and perhaps even love deeply, it will not only require a lot of courage and determination, but it will also be very painful. I will be extremely reluctant to leave, but I will still have to return to the sect. This will make him feel that in my heart, our sect is still more important than him. If he thinks so, I will actually be hurt more."

Li Sujin shook her head. "So if I leave now, I may never be able to return to the sect. After all, I am a woman. I might really be able to put the sect aside for him and consider him more important than the sect. I might even prefer to stay with him instead of returning to the sect. If he wants to keep me, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave. And Senior Su can't stay in my sect forever."

"Then have you ever thought that if you don't go with him this time, you may never meet again?" Su Yaoqing couldn't help asking.

"If I can become an immortal on my own, how can there be no chance for us to meet again? Whether we can meet again doesn't depend on him, but on myself. If I want to meet in the immortal world in the future, this will also be a motivation, right?"

Li Sujin calmly and nonchalantly replied, "I have devoted my wholehearted efforts to my sect, reaching the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Realm, and ultimately choosing to transcend the tribulation. This way, I have a clear conscience towards the sect, and have repaid the sect that has shown me so much kindness. From now on, I can live for myself. If he is willing to have me, I will be his Taoist partner. If I am unable to be a generous woman, then we can only have a dual cultivation relationship."

"Little Sister Li, you..."

When Su Yaoqing wanted to persuade her again, Li Sujin interrupted her firmly, saying, "I won't go with him. If I go with him, I'll never come back!"

Su Yaoqing looked at her face, drank the tea in the cup in one breath, then squeezed the cup hard and sighed, "Little Sister Li, I won't bother you any more. I'm leaving now."

"Senior Su probably won't come to my sect to be an elder anymore, right?"

Li Sujin smiled, but couldn't help wanting to say something, "You..."

"I probably haven't mastered the skills yet, so I'll wait until I'm fully trained before coming back."

Su Yaoqing interrupted without any shame: "Anyway, a good woman like me who will be there when he needs me and will leave quietly without taking care of everything when he doesn't need me is hard to find even with a lantern."

……

Chapter 596: Sisters working together can accomplish anything!

……

Another month passed.

At dawn today, the battle between Qin Xingyuan and Mei Xueshuang, which was a complete know-it-all, finally came to an end. He gently hugged Mei Xueshuang, who was extremely tired after fighting all night.

Although he planned to go to the Mountain and Water Area, he was no match for He Chaoge, a casual cultivator in the early stage of the Tribulation Realm. If he went to challenge Xiao Huaixin, he would definitely be defeated.

Qin Xingyuan doesn't like to lose.

He just wants to win.

Keep going all the way and win in the end.

Moreover, if he wanted to truly cross two major realms, he really believed that he could not break free from the shackles by fighting or something.

Otherwise, if he were to fight He Chaoge every day, and the essence of the sun and moon, the vitality of heaven and earth, etc. would continuously transform and sublime his body...

How could it not work?

He felt that he had to let his Dao heart break free and break it!

After all, Qin Xingyuan is very clear about the importance of the heart of Tao. His idea is to completely transcend the heart of Tao, and then use the heart to lead the body to transcend!

And now Qin Xingyuan believes that there must be many invisible laws between heaven and earth.

No matter who it is or how powerful he is, once he reaches such a height, he will inevitably be suppressed.

Just like the Human Emperor, the Taoist Lord, the Supreme Being and others, no matter how high they are above heaven and earth, they cannot control heaven and earth and are still restricted and suppressed.

Of course, during this period of time, the things he gave to Mei Xueshuang were actually as much as possible, and Mei Xueshuang could feel it.

"call……"

Mei Xueshuang let out a long sigh. The battle was so satisfying that she felt happy both physically and mentally. It left her with an endless aftertaste and made her feel that being a woman was such a blessing that she was overjoyed.

Her voice now was not as cold as usual, which made people feel chilled to the bone. Instead, it sounded soft and hoarse.

"Junior Brother Qin, are you going to leave the Extreme Southern Region with He Chaoge?"

After hearing this question, Qin Xingyuan shook his head.

He Chaoge had told him before that if he wanted to challenge a cultivator in the early stage of the Tribulation Realm, he should be invited to join him, as he also wanted to fight more.

But Qin Xingyuan planned to cultivate his mind first.

And now his hands are not idle either, playing with the "toys" that most men love the most. His fingertips sometimes touch the water like a dragonfly, sometimes circle, and sometimes cover the mountain with his big hands...

He can do whatever he wants.

Mei Xueshuang naturally felt something.

"Xue Shuang, I also plan to enter the Immortal Forbidden Land again when I reach the early stage of the He Dao Realm."

Qin Xingyuan said, "One hour in the Immortal Forbidden Land is equivalent to a hundred years in the outside world. Time passes differently. If I don't show up for a long time, you really don't have to worry. I've even been there before and came out alive."

He now remembered that if one day he was completely invincible in the world and wanted to fight with the 'Invincible', he could also enter the Immortal Forbidden Land.

It’s in there!

The one who can suppress Dao Zong, the invincible one, is the one who has truly achieved the position of invincibility!

Mei Xueshuang nodded slightly, then she turned her head, Qin Xingyuan also turned his head, and the two looked at each other.

She took the initiative and said, "Let's continue."

……

After another three days of continuous fighting, Qin Xingyuan finally went out. He talked to He Chaoge about his plan to polish his heart of Taoism, and then he also talked to his eldest brother, the sect's supreme leader, and others.

Then he went to Su Yaoqing's place, raised his right hand and knocked on the door. Hearing the words "Come in", Qin Xingyuan pushed the door open and walked in.

As a result, he was stunned.

Su Yaoqing tied up her long, beautiful black hair and secured it with a jade hairpin. She sat in a steaming wooden barrel, her delicate collarbone floating above the water.

"Xiao Qin, what's wrong? Why are you looking for me so early in the morning?"

Su Yaoqing blinked her eyes and said with a half-smile. She raised her white jade arm, with water droplets falling continuously. She stretched out her hand and invited him, "Do you want to take a bath together?"

"I'm leaving today."

Qin Xingyuan didn't turn around, but looked at her and said, "I came to say goodbye to you."

"I didn't expect Xiao Qin still had me in his heart? And he even remembered to say something to me?"

Su Yaoqing asked with a smile: "How about a farewell double cultivation? I am always ready."

"Just take a good bath."
