"Qingyu? What brings you here?"
Having just received the text message, Mu Qingxue walked out of the sect to greet Li Qingyu.
"Hehe, of course I'm looking for you to play. You have no idea how bored I am at home alone. My dad and mom are always clinging to each other, and it feels so awkward for me to watch them."
Li Qingyu sighed.
"puff!"
Mu Qingxue chuckled upon hearing the complaint.
She had stayed at Li Qingyu's house for more than a month and often witnessed the scene he described. At the time, she was quite envious of such love.
"Oh, so you're laughing at me."
Li Qingyu grinned, looking fierce.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore, but if you come to visit me, I might not be able to keep you company."
Mu Qingxue said apologetically.
"What's wrong? Are you under house arrest?"
Li Qingyu exclaimed in surprise.
"No, that's not true. It's just that in recent years, the Demonic Sect has gone crazy and has been harassing our mines like crazy. There was even a big battle two years ago. You must have felt it too."
"Mu Qingxue said."
"Is that the celestial tide that swept across the entire land of China?"
Li Qingyu pondered.
"Well, according to my master, they almost killed four old demons from the Demon Sect, but unfortunately the Demon Sect's patriarch came to the rescue, so our sect's patriarch also had to step in."
However, both sides stopped short of continuing the fight, which was a real pity. If those four old demons had been killed, the Demonic Sect's arrogance would have been greatly diminished.
"So what does this have to do with you not being able to be with me?"
Li Qingyu asked in confusion.
Mu Qingxue said helplessly, "Of course, it's because the Demon Sect, which has recovered, has started its endless harassment again. I have to travel around the mines every day to train, so of course I don't have time to go out and play with you."
That's it?
"Uh... what else?"
Mu Qingxue was somewhat taken aback.
"I thought it was something serious. From now on, I'll patrol with you. For me, it doesn't matter where I go for fun. Fighting the Demon Sect is not bad either."
"This will allow me to hone my experience, and with your Heaven and Earth Sect backing me up, I don't need to worry about anything happening on your territory."
Li Qingyu said with a grin.
"Ah... but Qingyu, you're not a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect. Doing this is against the rules, and the mine is a sacred area of the sect. We won't allow unauthorized people to approach it at will."
Mu Qingxue waved her hand and explained.
Li Qingyu's eyes darted around: "Aren't you the Holy Maiden? Just give me the identity of a menial disciple, that'll do."
"..."
Mu Qingxue was speechless.
It doesn't sound plausible at all.
"I'm scared of you. How about this, you stay by my side and if anyone asks, just say you're my sister."
"Why the younger sister? I want to be the older sister."
Li Qingyu refuted the protest.
"I'm a month older than you, so of course I'm the older sister."
Mu Qingxue smiled.
"Okay, whatever, as long as I can play."
Li Qingyu stopped pursuing the matter.
......
Meanwhile, before seizing the Tiandi Sect's mine, Li Daoxuan took Lu Xueqi on a leisurely tour of Shenzhou.
I haven't even had a proper chance to explore this continent since I came from the Starship Sea.
Experience the local customs and culture, and gather the information you want.
Several months later.
Li Daoxuan had roughly figured out the distribution of power in Shenzhou and the situation in the neighboring states.
The Eastern Region, encompassing five continents and four seas, lies in the northern part of the Divine Continent. It borders the sea to the south and extends westward to the Western Regions, separated by vast grasslands. It is a region where demonic beasts congregate.
Most interestingly, he also found the geographical location of the Star Chariot Sea, located at the southernmost part of the Southern Region. The continents are scattered and divided by the endless ocean, and the Southern Region is also known as the Water Region.
Perhaps due to the lack of ley lines to gather spiritual energy, the concentration of spiritual energy there is somewhat lower than here, making it the most barren place in the four regions.
Besides, the lower realm is not limited to the four domains; these four domains are only a tiny area in the lower realm.
This is probably the norm in the Great World; even for those undergoing tribulation, traveling throughout the entire lower realm is not an easy task.
Here, even ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to leave their birthplace even after a lifetime of effort, let alone ordinary people.
Basically, they die wherever they are born.
Tianji Pavilion.
Li Daoxuan carefully examined the young man opposite him.
"Is there anything else you would like to know?"
Dong Tianji responded with a smile.
Li Daoxuan shook his head helplessly and withdrew his gaze. He couldn't see through it. The above information was not something that could be obtained by casually asking around. Naturally, it was also obtained from this organization.
The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, which claims to be able to predict the secrets of heaven, has knowledge of the situation in the lower realm.
The other person was just as young as him, and his cultivation was also at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage. Tsk tsk, he himself had to use cheat codes to achieve such a level.
"have."
Li Daoxuan nodded.
"Please speak freely, sir. There is no major matter concerning the lower realm that our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion does not know. As long as the price is reasonable, anything can be traded."
"In recent years, the upper realm has been interfering in the lower realm more and more frequently. Do you know anything about that?"
Upon hearing this, Dong Tianji's smile vanished, and his eyes held a scrutinizing gaze.
I can't see through him, I really can't see through him. It's really strange that my divination skills have no effect on this person at all.
So they're also from the upper realm... No wonder they have such cultivation at such a young age.
"You jest, sir. How would our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion know anything about such things? It may or may not be true."
Dong Tianji laughed again.
"Yeah..."
Li Daoxuan had found the answer in his heart.
"Um... how about asking something else?"
Dong Tianji coughed lightly, "It would have been much better if you had asked about regional issues like before."
"Alright, so you know about the supernatural, right? There have been more and more supernatural occurrences in recent years. Do you know anything about it?"
"..."
Dong Tianji's face stiffened. "Can we ask some questions about the lower realm? Stop bringing up irrelevant things and dragging us into the upper realm."
"No."
He vehemently denied it.
"I see. So things are starting to go wrong in the Upper Realm. When are you planning to return to the Upper Realm?"
Li Daoxuan nodded.
"..."
Brother, please stop making wild guesses.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
Li Daoxuan gave the other person a knowing look.
He then said, "Forget it, I won't ask about what happened earlier. I want to know the origins of the Demon Sect and the Heaven and Earth Sect, and whether there are powerful figures vying for power behind the scenes."
"this..."
Dong Tianji was somewhat embarrassed.
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll run around spreading rumors. I’ll say that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was sent by the Upper Realm to control the entire Lower Realm.”
Upon hearing this, Dong Tianji felt like vomiting blood.
"Oh dear, don't talk nonsense. Our Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is not like that. We're afraid of you. We'll tell you without hesitation, but you can't spread it afterward."
Dong Tianji remained silent.
"Okay, go ahead and say it."
"Well, because our world is under very strict control, the upper and lower realms can be separated as a whole. You also came down from the upper realm, so I believe you know the situation. I won't go into details."
Li Daoxuan nodded earnestly to indicate that he understood.
"So, the lower realm is a great melting pot. It's precisely because the lower realm has many restrictions, and the shackles of the Heavenly Dao tightly restrict each realm, that cultivators break through and rebuild each time they break through."
Growing up in such an environment, once they ascend to the upper realm, their foundation is far superior to that of cultivators who grew up in the upper realm, allowing them to go much further!
Every Dao Ancestor today came from the lower realm. Why doesn't the Heavenly Dao abandon the lower realm? Why does it control it so strictly? It's all for this reason.
So, it's unclear when exactly, but the big shots in the upper realm began plotting things in the lower realm, though they didn't dare to be too obvious, since the Heavenly Dao was watching.
However, exploiting loopholes is still possible, but I won't go into details.
"Ahem, I got off-topic."
Dong Tianji chuckled.
Everything is implied in words.
Li Daoxuan chuckled, testing himself.
"Stop talking nonsense. I want to know who's behind them. I want to take them down."
Dong Tianji narrowed his eyes slightly. He couldn't figure out this kid. Was he really that cunning? And he spoke so arrogantly. What force was behind him?
However, judging from this guy's knowledge of the supernatural and the inner workings of the Upper Realm, it's safe to say that this kid is from the Upper Realm.
