NOVPUB"Forget about all that. On the day when the major sects of Shanhe County attacked the Congyun Sect and failed, there was much that was strange about it. There must still be some underlying strength left in the Congyun Sect."
"Since this person has now offended the Jiuli Ghost Sect, he is essentially seeking his own death. We don't need to rush to take our revenge; let's just sit back and watch the tiger fight the dragon, and see how the Jiuli Ghost Sect handles the situation."
"Moreover, we can pass on the news that this person has appeared in Tianqing City to the other sects in Dongling County, but there is no need to mention the fact that a mysterious saint is accompanying him."
Li Changhe stroked his beard, a sly look on his face, and spoke.
The reason why he called it a mysterious saint was because he didn't believe that the saint accompanying Qinchuan was really the founding ancestor of the Taixuan Sect.
That person was rumored to be the youngest saint in the Tianyuan Nation in the past thirty thousand years.
Upon hearing Li Changhe's words, Bai Qiushan's eyes shone with understanding, immediately grasping Li Changhe's intention.
Li Changhe evidently wanted to let them fight it out while ingeniously using someone else's hand to deal with the enemy.
"Remember, when you reveal this information to the other sects, don't be too deliberate about it, so as not to leave any handle."
"Back when the Myriad Spirit Garden opened, the disciples from other sects suffered heavy losses, almost all of them were completely wiped out. I believe that if the major sects learn that this person has appeared in Tianqing City, they definitely will not turn a blind eye, so let them test the waters for us."
Li Changhe said with a light laugh.
...
In Qinchuan's view, the conflict with the people of the Jiuli Ghost Sect was nothing more than a minor incident.
He didn't take it to heart.
Nor was he worried about possible retaliation from the Jiuli Ghost Sect.
When one stands at the pinnacle, one's perspective naturally broadens.
One wouldn't care about petty matters they might see beneath them—such was Qinchuan's current mindset.
In his eyes, all beings were but ants; the Jiuli Ghost Sect was no exception. Your next chapter is on freewebnovel.com
As he had said, in the vast world, through the great cycles of the age, countless powerful sects and great clans sparkle like stars, as numerous as grains of sand in the river.
Where could the Jiuli Ghost Sect rank among them?
On this small Divine Wilderness Continent alone, there are too many forces stronger than the Jiuli Ghost Sect.
"Meager dust, glimmering motes."
Qinchuan walked leisurely with his hands clasped behind his back, a soft chuckle escaping his lips.
He shook his head, not giving another thought to the Jiuli Ghost Sect.
Zhou Xi, following behind him, overheard Qinchuan's low muttering and couldn't help but look up at his figure. She could feel the carefree air about Qinchuan, that undaunted and unrestrained spirit, and that indescribable, strangely comforting sensation.
This often left her spellbound, and she couldn't help but wonder, just what kind of person was this young master who was two years her junior.
It seemed that no matter what, he always exuded such a serene demeanor; his calm eyes appeared never to show the slightest hint of panic or fear.
Even faced with a behemoth like the Jiuli Ghost Sect, he remained composed and unruffled, as if he had no conception of fear.
Zhou Xi shook her head; she couldn't see clearly just what kind of person Qinchuan was, but she felt reassured being by his side.
Over time, even her own courage seemed to have grown, as if influenced by him.
She thought back to how she had drawn her sword against disciples of the Jiuli Ghost Sect and had almost killed Han Jiushan.
Zhou Xi couldn't help but purse her lips, realizing that she truly had been affected by him.
In the past, she would never have dared to draw her sword against a disciple from the Jiuli Ghost Sect.
Ye Xuanji also slightly raised his eyelids, glancing at Qinchuan's retreating figure. Seeing how Qinchuan shaved off Jiuli Ghost Sect's prestige and yet could remain so leisurely and content, so indifferently comfortable, the trace of worry in his heart also completely vanished at this moment.
"Have you found anything?"
Qinchuan's voice came from ahead.
Ye Xuanji retracted his thoughts. Although Qinchuan did not turn his head, Ye Xuanji still slightly lowered his head in a gesture of respect and said, "Several months ago, news emerged that a woman, revered as the White Fairy from another country, would travel to Tianqing City to discuss and lecture on the Dao."
"This White Fairy is said to possess an Innate Taoist Body, close to the Dao. Although her cultivation level isn't high, her understanding of the Dao is profoundly incisive. It's said that those who have listened to her discourse on the Dao often gain significant insights."
"Furthermore, there are rumors that someone experienced a breakthrough and achieved the Dragon Transformation and became a saint on the spot after listening to her teachings."
"Calculating the time, in a few days, this White Fairy will arrive in Tianqing City to establish her lecture hall and expound on the true essence of the Dao to the martial artists and cultivators there."
"That's why Tianqing City is so lively. Martial artists and cultivators from dozens of nearby counties are all rushing over. It's no surprise that the Jiuli Ghost Sect's people would turn up here, likely attracted by this woman."
Upon hearing Ye Xuanji's words, Qinchuan expressed slight astonishment, "Oh? A foreigner with an Innate Taoist Body is coming to Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom to teach the Dao?"
"And she chose Tianqing City in Dongling County as the location for her lecture hall. Is she coming from the east?"
Ye Xuanji nodded.
Qinchuan laughed and said, "In that case, this White Fairy must have a keen insight, and she is likely from the Great Yan Ancient Kingdom."
Ye Xuanji was surprised, "How does the young master know?"
He himself had gone to gather information and naturally inquired about the White Fairy's origins, but he hadn't mentioned it to Qinchuan yet. Yet, Qinchuan had hit the nail on the head.
Even if he guessed that she was coming from the east, there was more than one ancient country in the east, not just the Great Yan Ancient Kingdom.
In response to Ye Xuanji's puzzled expression, Qinchuan remained unbothered. With his hands behind him, he calmly said, "An Innate Taoist Body like that isn't something that just any place can foster."
"To give birth to such a constitution, there must be a rich destiny to nourish it. Looking at the neighboring eastern countries, only the Great Yan Ancient Kingdom is the most likely to nurture such an existence."
"As for the other ancient kingdoms in the east, some do have relatively decent destinies, but without a Great Emperor chosen by the Heavenly Mandate, it's still difficult to cultivate such a Taoist Body. With that in mind, the origins of this Innate Taoist Body are quite obvious."
Qinchuan said, laying out his thoughts clearly.
After listening to Qinchuan's analysis, Ye Xuanji was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but look up at Qinchuan's back walking ahead of him and shook his head with a smile, bringing his hands together in a respectful gesture, "The young master truly has an insightful vision, I admire you."
He had originally thought that Qinchuan deduced the conclusion through the use of Heavenly Secrets Divine Calculation, but after hearing Qinchuan's straightforward analysis, he was embarrassed to have thought so.
Heavenly Secrets Divine Calculation could indeed be used to speculate on the White Fairy's origins.
But that required a very profound cultivation level, as well as a very high proficiency in Heavenly Secrets Divine Calculation.
But Qinchuan was only at the Meridian Opening Realm and merely an ordinary mortal martial artist, who hadn't even cultivated mana – so how could he apply Heavenly Secrets Divine Calculation?
"There's nothing to admire about this; it's quite simple to deduce such matters with a bit of thought," continued Qinchuan, seeing no great achievement in it.
Knowing she's from the east and has an Innate Taoist Body, and understanding the birth pattern of such bodies, is it so difficult to speculate her origins?
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Ye Xuanji couldn't help feeling embarrassed, thinking to himself if Qinchuan was implying he was witless?
After all, even though he was a Saint himself, a little face-saving would be nice.
Zhou Xi, who was beside them, saw the respected Ye Xuanji, who was at the Saint Realm, being put at a disadvantage by Qinchuan. She struggled to hold back a laugh, but failed to suppress it and ended up laughing out loud.
At that, Ye Xuanji's face darkened, and he felt even more awkward.
