NOVPUB"Seventeenth Aunt, can you please not be so arbitrary?"
Qin Lingxiao said angrily, "That Liang Zhongkang, he’s just like a five or six-year-old nephew from my seventh brother, babbling nonsensically..."
"What do you know? That’s called the heart of a child"
Qin Fengyi couldn’t help but say, "Only those with such pure hearts can make rapid progress in their cultivation..."
Qin Lingxiao didn’t bother to argue with her. Without responding, he quickened his pace.
"Don’t be in such a hurry."
Qin Fengyi hastily caught up with him. The figures of the other members of the Wanxiang Sect passed quickly through her mind, and then she casually asked,
"You’re not attracted to that Xi Wushang, are you?"
Qin Lingxiao suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking speechlessly at Qin Fengyi, "That shabby old man? Isn’t he about my father’s age?"
Qin Fengyi immediately rebutted, "No way, he’s much younger than your father! Your father is more than five hundred years old, while he’s only two hundred and forty-three."
Qin Lingxiao looked at Qin Fengyi with some suspicion, "How come you know him so well?"
"Ahem, I-I’m just trying to protect you, so naturally, I need to know the others well... Don’t change the subject. We are cultivators, not mortals. A difference of one or two hundred years is normal. Your father’s wives are all hundreds of years old, so tell me, what are your thoughts?"
There was a moment of panic in Qin Fengyi’s heart, but she immediately regained her composure and subtly changed the subject. 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Upon hearing her words, Qin Lingxiao didn’t think too much, and sighed helplessly.
"If you want to find someone, do it yourself. Don’t pull me into it. I don’t want someone like that. Besides, do we female cultivators have to have a Daoist companion? Isn’t it great to be alone?"
Upon hearing the first half of his sentence, Qin Fengyi almost lost control of her facial expression.
However, hearing the latter part caused Qin Fengyi to sigh.
"As princesses, we are inherently different from those common female cultivators. They can choose freely, but without a powerful Daoist companion to assist us, the odds of us breaking through the multiple bottlenecks in our cultivation, relying only on ourselves, are slim."
Qin Lingxiao disagreed,
"So what if the odds are slim? If you only rely on your Daoist companion and do not make any effort yourself, it’s just pathetic. Why bother cultivating?"
"If it comes to it, you can just start over!"
"You ... are you going to curse your Seventeenth Aunt too with such attitude!"
Angry, Qin Fengyi chased after Qin Lingxiao.
"Haha, I didn’t say that... Stop scratching me, stop scratching me..."
Laughter like jingling bells echoed in the sky.
...
Boom!
In the dark horizon, towering waves seemed to want to completely engulf the entire sky.
However, as if restrained by some invisible force, they eerily washed down in place, forming a massive waterfall that spanned from north to south, with no end in sight.
The violent surges and thunderous roars caused by the waterfall pouring straight down from the sky were like a fierce Dragon perched on the edge of the abyss, constantly spewing its chilling roar.
The raging waves seemed like shattered jade, sometimes towering like mountains, sometimes plunging into the abyss, swallowing everything into the deep sea.
The original azure sea had become an ominous black in this place.
Blooming within it was the heart-pounding glimmer of Yuanci.
Ji Yuan and Mu Guishou stood at a safe distance before this colossal waterfall.
Even separated by a considerable distance, they could still sense the intimidating power of the Yuanci in the waterfall that would send chills down most cultivators, and see the terrifying images of Demonic Beasts occasionally moving within the waterfall.
For cultivators, this was undoubtedly a dead end.
However, for these sea Demonic Beasts, it was a hunting paradise.
"The power of Yuanci here seems denser than what was reported by Fengyu Mountain."
"While it doesn’t entirely block the Five Elements, any cultivator that comes into direct contact with it will lose their Mana and cultivation base..."
"In the face of the great power of Heaven and Earth, human strength does reach its limits..."
Mu Guishou let out a sigh while observing the waterfall.
However, in Ji Yuan’s eyes, there was a hint of raring to go:
"If I can refine myself within this oceanic barrier, a breakthrough into the Nascent Soul stage might be imminent!"
Hearing Ji Yuan’s words, Mu Guishou felt his heart miss a beat. He knew odds were Ji Yuan wouldn’t be so unwise, but still, he quickly cautioned him:
"Brother Ji, given how chaotic the power of Yuanci is here, why don’t we return first, reunite with our disciples, and then decide how to proceed?"
Upon hearing Mu Guishou’s words, Ji Yuan came to his senses, expressing a hint of regret in his eyes, he agreed.
"Yes, let’s see if we can make contact with Fengyu Mountain first."
Upon saying that, he took out a small stone.
He imbued his mana into it, but all he heard was the faint sound of rustling.
"As expected, it doesn’t work."
Neither Ji Yuan nor Mu Guishou seemed surprised.
"Let’s try to contact Brother Xi."
Mu Guishou proposed.
Ji Yuan, however, had already begun to make some adjustments.
Soon, a buzzing sound emanated from the small stone, followed by a somewhat surprised voice:
"Ji... Yuan, have you... already arrived?"
"Yes, Xi Wushang, let’s set a fixed time for communicating..."
Ji Yuan frowned slightly, vaguely sensing the interference from the nearby Yuanci, and then shifted his gaze to the sky.
Initially, the sky was still a clear azure when they set off, but now that they had arrived, it was shrouded with dark clouds, and the rolling waves filled up their surrounding.
The feeling of impending doom was palpable.
However, they still managed to make out a sinking sun in the dim sky.
