Chapter 135 - 135: Mud Cannot be Plastered on the Wall 1
When Qin Changqing arrived at MO Jiuzhou’s courtyard, there were two other people present besides the old man—Liu Mengxian and Mu Taixu.
“Haha- Just talking about him and he’s here,” laughed MO Jiuzhou. “Come, come, my precious disciple, let them see what the great talent of the earth’s posture looks like.”
“What great emperor’s posture…” Qin Changqing was at a loss for words, then bowed and said, “Greetings to the Sect Leader and Peak Master Mu.”
Mu Taixu stroked his beard and chuckled, “Not bad, not bad. Winning the inheritance at the first layer of the Golden Elixir is beyond our expectations.” “It’s just luck,” Qin Changqing said modestly. “Good fortune.”
“This is not just luck; the inheritance of Duanjian Mountain is not…never mind, you can talk to your senior brother about this later,” Mu Taixu seemed to avoid mentioning something and continued, “The main purpose of calling you back to the mountain this time is for your protection. Duanjian Mountain’s Secret Realm has disappeared, senior brother killed Wang Qian, and so many disciples died—the losses of the Dayan Dynasty are substantial, and they certainly won’t let it go.”
Qin Changqing said, “Wang Qian was killed by my master, let them come looking for him.”
“You’re really filial,” MO Jiuzhou curled his beard.
“That’s not the point now,” Mu Taixu shook his head. “There is no danger for senior brother at Xuanyi Peak, but you are different. You are in Yinxu
Prefecture, and Dayan has long wanted to kill you.”
Qin Changqing somewhat understood what Mu Taixu meant.
“Peak Master Mu, do you want me to return to the mountain to avoid the limelight?”
“That’s my intention,” Liu Mengxian said. “Next is Tianti Road. With your qualifications, if you can go as far as possible on Tianti Road, you will certainly gain tremendous benefits. It’s a good opportunity to return to the mountain this time; you can both avoid the Dayan Dynasty’s retaliation and focus on your cultivation to prepare for Tianti Road.”
Tianti Road is a ‘miracle’ in Tianchuan State.
It’s a trial left by an ascendant from ten thousand years ago.
The will of that immortal remains on it. If one can reach the top, they would reap unimaginable rewards.
Even if one can’t reach the top, as long as one can use the power of Tianti Road to cleanse their soul and step into the Nascent Soul realm, they will have at least a four-colored Nascent Soul.
Like the Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul is also distinguished by quality. To break the elixir and form a nascent soul, one needs to first cultivate three stripes, which refers to cultivating three stripes on the golden elixir.
But in fact, breaking the elixir only requires cultivating one stripe. Cultivating three stripes is the limit that can be achieved under normal circumstances. After cultivating three stripes and entering the Nascent Soul Realm, one’s strength is more than a notch above that of one stripe.
Above the three stripes, one needs a little external help.
For example, Disaster-Alleviating Golden Elixir that Nangong Xue has always wanted to refine.
Another example, Tianti Road!
The will of the immortal remains on Tianti Road. Comprehending this will allows one’s divine consciousness to integrate with heaven and earth and understand the great Dao.
The more one comprehends, the better the effect on forming a nascent soul.
Even those who are not at the Golden Elixir realm peak can comprehend it and lay a foundation for breaking through the three-striped boundary in the future.
Therefore, Tianti Road is almost a feast for the Golden Elixir realm powerhouses of the entire Tianchuan State.
At the same time, it’s a touchstone for screening talents and ordinary people.
Nobody owns Tianti Road; it opens once every fifty years. Both righteous and evil sects, as well as loose cultivators, can participate.
So, it’s one of the grandest events in Tianchuan State.
Liu Mengxian has discussed with MO Jiuzhou and Mu Taixu that Qin Changqing’s current status on the kill list is too dangerous, and he can only be safe when hiding in the sect.
With his first-grade golden core foundation and the emperor’s demeanor, cultivation is secondary. When the Tianti Road comes, he will surely make a name for himself.
Thinking of this, Liu Mengxian couldn’t help sighing.
Who knew that the Xuan One Peak senior brother, initially regarded as a waste without even Foundation Establishment talent, has now become the key to the revival of the heavenly path in this world?
She looked at Qin Changqing, her eyes somewhat unfocused.
Initially, she thought she would be locked in the Tianxuan Realm for life, unable to transcend.
But unexpectedly, Qin Changqing brought her hope.
“This…” Qin Changqing hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, “Thank you, Sect Leader, for your kindness, but I am used to being idle. Moreover, the Qin Family in Yinxu Prefecture cannot do without me. If I am not there, it will surely be constrained. Furthermore, I have so many wives; I must take their feelings into account.”Liu Mengxian’s eyebrows wrinkled slightly: “Can’t you spare even a decade or so?”
“A decade or so…” Qin Changqing sighed helplessly, “Sect Leader, a decade may be a mere snap of the fingers for you, but for the Qin family, it’s a crucial stage of development.”
The Qin family was too young, and Qin Changqing had to keep an eye on many things.
Moreover, now that the Qin family served as his foundation for growth, it was closely related to the improvement of his strength in the future.
As for the risk, Qin Changqing had considered it.
But the world had always been dangerous, and danger was inevitable. The only way was to constantly make oneself stronger in such an environment. That was the best course of action.
Since he couldn’t disclose his cultivation practice to Liu Mengxian, he could only refuse.
“See, I told you it wouldn’t work.” MO Jiuzhou chuckled, “My disciple is just like me, not really fond of staying in the sect.”
Li Mengxian was somewhat disappointed, “Qin Changqing, you should think it through. Cultivation is like sailing against the current, either you advance or you fall back. Now is a great opportunity for you, don’t…”
She suddenly paused.
It seemed that she had said the same thing before.
But at the time, she never expected that Qin Changqing would not only not blend into the crowd but also dazzled everyone>.
There must be an opportunity that only Qin Changqing has grasped.
“Don’t worry, Sect Leader, I will strengthen my array formations to ensure my safety, ” Qin Changqing laughed.
“That’s not what I meant.” Liu Mengxian furrowed her eyebrows, inexplicably getting annoyed, “Fine, you do as you wish.”
With that, her figure disappeared into the courtyard.
Qin Changqing wondered, “Did Sect Leader get angry?”
MO Jiuzhou waved his hand, “Well, women have those few days every month when they’re in a bad mood.”
Mu Taixu:
Elder Brother Dao, don’t you know, or are you just clueless? The Sect Leader’s anger is obviously about you not taking action.
Actually, Mu Taixu had some understanding of Liu Mengxian’s feelings. This was a genius’s pity for another genius. If she didn’t truly care, Liu Mengxian wouldn’t have come out of her seclusion while attempting to break through the Refining Void Realm. Unfortunately, Qin Changqing was like a ‘mud unable to stick on the wall’.
“Well, Elder Brother Dao, I’m heading back as well. As for the matters concerning the Dayan Dynasty, let’s proceed as previously discussed.” “Alright, you go ahead, I’ll have a few more words with my disciple.”
After Mu Taixu left,
MO Jiuzhou beckoned Qin Changqing to come over and chat.
Now that the guests were gone, it was much more casual among family.
MO Jiuzhou propped up his legs, staring at Qin Changqing and occasionally chuckling ‘hehehehe,’ looking like a madman.
Qin Changqing cursed, “What the hell are you laughing at?”
“Haha! My disciple is amazing, can’t I be proud?” MO Jiuzhou snorted, “Everyone thought I’d fade away, but who knew my disciple would be even more outstanding than I was. That’s fate! They were suppressed by me back then, and now my disciple will suppress them too!”
Qin Changqing said, “Old man, it’s time for you to explain, isn’t it?” “Explain what?”
“Don’t play dumb with me, or I’ll trash your damned courtyard!”
“Go ahead, flip it over! Your Blood Coral King is here too, so destroy it as well. Let’s see if your Second Junior Sister doesn’t beat you up when she comes back. ”
“I freaking…”
Looking at the stubborn old man, Qin Changqing realized for the first time that ‘experts’ could be so shameless..
