Chapter 778 World Secrets, Return to the Tianyuan Great World! (5,000 words)
Early morning, a small courtyard halfway up the mountain.
"Master."
Lu Qing led Xiao Yan and Xiao Li outside the courtyard.
"Are you planning to leave?"
The old doctor came out of the house, saw this scene, and immediately understood.
“Yes, I have finished all the things I needed to do, and it is time for me to leave,” Lu Qing said with a smile.
"In short, be careful after you get out. I know you are quite capable now, but there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond our reach. There will always be more powerful predecessors in this world than us," the old doctor advised.
"This disciple understands," Lu Qing replied earnestly.
The old doctor nodded slightly. He knew that his disciple was always very measured in his actions and that he didn't need to worry about him.
His words of advice just now were merely a matter of habit.
He reached out and patted Xiaoyan's head again: "Xiaoyan, after you go out, remember to listen to your brother and don't be naughty."
"Okay, Grandpa Chen, I will," Xiaoyan replied obediently.
"By the way, where is Miss Han?" the old doctor asked.
"The Palace Master of Han Palace has returned to Han Shui Palace."
The old doctor was taken aback: "What, isn't she going out with you?"
"Palace Master Han said that her cultivation level is still shallow and she wants to go back to seclusion for a period of time. She will go out to see the wonders beyond the starry sky after her cultivation level has improved."
The old doctor paused for a moment, then looked at Lu Qing and sighed, "You..."
However, he didn't say much more.
He knew that his disciple was steadfast in his pursuit of the Dao and probably rarely considered matters of the heart.
This is something that can only be resolved by letting the young people handle it themselves.
“Master, I don’t know when I will return from this trip. Please take this communication jade token. If you are about to undergo tribulation to achieve the Primordial Spirit, just send a message and I will return immediately.”
Lu Qing took out a golden jade tablet engraved with intricate runes and handed it to his master.
“Master, the starry sky is vast, and ordinary communication jade talismans cannot transmit messages. However, this spiritual artifact-level communication jade tablet can traverse the endless starry sky and contact me. If there is any emergency, Master can use this to contact me.”
The communication jade tablet that Lu Qing gave was one of his gains from the Guixu Secret Realm.
Spiritual artifact-grade communication jade tablets are generally only crafted by top-tier forces and are extremely valuable.
Even Lu Qing had never received this before.
This one was obtained from Demon Slaughter Mountain, and it forms a matching set with the other one he had.
Each use requires a considerable amount of mana, and even ordinary Golden Core cultivators may not be able to activate it.
However, given Master's cultivation level, there is no need to worry about this issue.
"Alright, I understand." The old doctor carefully put away the communication jade token.
"Then Master, this disciple is setting off."
Lu Qing summoned the Void Flying Boat, which hovered to the side.
However, the appearance of the Void Flying Boat has changed quite a bit, and its color has also turned black.
At first glance, it looks quite different from what it used to be.
This was done intentionally by Lu Qing.
After all, many powerful individuals had seen what a void flying boat looked like outside the Guixu Secret Realm.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, it's still necessary to put on a facade.
Changing its appearance is naturally not difficult for a top-grade spiritual weapon.
"Grandpa Chen, we're leaving now," Xiaoyan said with some reluctance.
Xiao Li and the Five Elements also bid farewell to the old doctor one by one.
Once everyone was inside the void flying boat, Lu Qing activated it.
The next moment, a spatial vortex appeared, and the void airship plunged into it and disappeared.
Only the old doctor remained standing there quietly. After a while, he sighed, returned to his room, and continued his secluded cultivation.
Down the mountain, Hu Zezhi stood in her small courtyard, sensing that Xiao Yan and the others' presence had disappeared, knowing that Lu Qing and the others had left.
She stared intently in the direction of the small courtyard halfway up the mountain, remaining motionless for a long time.
At the highest point of Hanshui Palace in Hanshui City, Han Ling Shuang, dressed in white, stood quietly, gazing in the direction of Jiuli Village.
"Xiao Yan and the Supreme One should have left this realm by now, right?" Han Ling Shuang thought to herself.
Lu Qing had previously asked Han Ling Shuang if she wanted to go to the starry sky together, but Han Ling Shuang thought about it for a while and finally declined.
It wasn't that she didn't want to travel with Lu Qing, but rather that she understood that her current cultivation level was still too weak.
The starry sky is magnificent, but it is also fraught with danger.
Moreover, she knew that Lu Qing also had powerful enemies in the starry sky.
She didn't want to be a burden to Lu Qing because of her own abilities when they encountered danger.
So she suppressed her emotions and decided to stay and cultivate diligently.
Perhaps, when she becomes strong enough in the future, she may even have the chance to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.
She would ask Lu Qing to take her along on a journey through the starry sky.
...
Is this our home world?
Above the starry sky, Xiao Yan stood on the edge of the void airship, looking down at her home world, completely stunned.
Although she had heard her brother and Xiao Li tell her many times about the true appearance of their home world.
But all of this is far less shocking than seeing it with your own eyes.
Xiaoyan never imagined that her hometown, where she grew up, would be so beautiful when viewed from the starry sky.
“That’s right, this is the world we’ve lived in for so many years,” Lu Qing nodded.
"It's so beautiful."
Xiaoyan stared at it for a long time before her mind calmed down considerably.
As for Xiao Li and the others, they were already tired of this scene, so they were naturally quite calm.
"Brother, let's go."
"I'm not going to watch anymore. After this trip, it might be quite a while before I can come back?"
"I'm not going to look anymore. I can already remember what my hometown looks like," Xiaoyan said earnestly.
Lu Qing smiled and said, "Then let's go."
With a slight thought, the Void Flying Boat transformed into a streak of light and sped into the depths of the starry sky.
For this trip, Lu Qing did not choose to directly travel through the void in a void airship, traversing the infinite starry sky.
Instead, he planned to travel for a while, just like when he first went out, so that Xiaoyan could appreciate the scenery of the starry sky and broaden her horizons.
Of course, even without using the Void Travel ability, the Void Flying Boat, which has been restored to the power of a top-grade spiritual artifact, is still incredibly fast.
Before long, they arrived before the vast spatial turbulence.
"Is this the spatial turbulence that you encountered back then, brothers?"
Xiaoyan stared in amazement at the boundless spatial turbulence before her.
"Yes, this is also the natural barrier that prevented many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from exploring the starry sky during the ancient era of cultivation."
Lu Qing also gazed at the spatial turbulence ahead.
With his current strength, this spatial turbulence can no longer threaten him.
However, for those native Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who have only reached the first stage of Nascent Soul Realm, this is an insurmountable natural barrier.
That's why the old dragon turtle said that the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who went out to explore the starry sky in the previous era of cultivation either never returned and were never heard from again, or they returned empty-handed without any gains.
After observing the spatial turbulence for a while, Lu Qing activated the Void Flying Boat and used Void Shuttle to cross over.
In the time that followed, Lu Qing took Xiao Yan on a journey through the starry sky, where she witnessed many spectacular sights that she had never seen before.
He experienced what it was like when he and Xiao Li first came out.
During the journey, Lu Qing even took everyone to visit some small worlds to see the wonders of other worlds.
And so it went, with stops and starts.
About half a year later, Lu Qing saw the vast world surrounded by several smaller worlds again.
"Brother, is that the Tianyuan Great World?"
Xiao Yan stared at the enormous world before her, her mouth slightly agape.
The Tianyuan Great World is simply too vast. Compared to it, my hometown world is like a small pebble at the foot of a giant mountain, truly insignificant.
"That's right, this is the Tianyuan Great World, and also Xiaobai's hometown."
Lu Qing stared ahead, recalling the words the old Azure Dragon had spoken to him before he left the Guixu Secret Realm.
"Ah Qing, do you know why many powerful cultivators above the Dao Integration Realm in the starry sky choose to establish their forces outside the Great World?" the old Azure Dragon asked at the time.
Lu Qing replied, "This junior does not know, please enlighten me, senior."
In fact, Lu Qinglian was not very clear about the powerful forces in the starry sky at that time.
"This actually involves some secrets of those at the Dao Integration Realm and above," the old Azure Dragon said. "Did you know that once a living being reaches the Dao Integration Realm, they are 'rejected' by many worlds, large and small, in the starry sky?"
"Refuse?" Lu Qing asked, puzzled.
“That’s right, it’s a refusal.” The old dragon nodded. “The many worlds that nurture countless living beings are among the most incredible wonders in the starry sky.”
Every world can be described as a miracle of the evolution of the Great Dao.
These worlds of life are governed by self-contained laws.
This self-contained system of laws, when combined, is called the Way of Heaven.
"The Way of Heaven?" Lu Qing was quite surprised when he heard the old Azure Dragon's explanation.
"Yes, it is the Heavenly Dao, or you can call it the rules of the world." The old dragon continued, "The Heavenly Dao is born from the combined influence of many Great Daos. Although it has no will, it has its own rules of operation."
Anyone who violates these rules will be warned, rejected, or even punished by the will of Heaven.
Lu Qing recalled that in his home world, when he was constantly accelerating the void flying boat, he received a warning from some kind of rule when he approached a certain limit.
That must be Heaven's way of warning him.
"Returning to my previous topic, why do many powerful individuals above the Dao Integration Realm choose to establish forces in the starry sky? This involves a rule of the Heavenly Dao."
Because all living worlds, in reality, do not allow those stronger than the Dao Integration Realm to enter.
"Experts above the Dao Integration Realm are not allowed to enter the World of Life?" Lu Qing was taken aback.
"That's right. To be precise, it means that powers above the Dao Integration Realm are not allowed to appear in the world of life."
Because the power of the Dao Integration Realm is too great; the god and the Dao are united, and the power of the Great Dao can be mobilized.
Such powerful beings can cause immense destruction to the world of life.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao of almost all living worlds will instinctively refuse to allow powerful beings above the Dao Integration Realm to enter their world.
Even if a power above the Dao Integration Realm appears, it will immediately attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao, which will punish it or expel it directly.
Because of these restrictions, experts at the Dao Integration Realm generally do not linger in the World of Life.
Even if something happens temporarily, he will only enter with a divided mind and suppress his own power to the level of Dao Integration to avoid being expelled.
So now you should understand why those Dao Integration Realm experts all want to establish their own forces in the starry sky, right?
"I see, thank you for your guidance, senior." Lu Qing finally understood, but he quickly had another question, "Senior Cang, if someone offends a powerful expert in the Dao Integration Realm, wouldn't they become safe if they just found a world of life to hide in?"
"It's not that simple." The old dragon laughed. "Although almost all living worlds refuse entry to those above the Dao Integration Realm, refusal still requires strength."
Smaller worlds, whose origins are not strong enough, also refuse entry to those at the Dao Integration Realm.
However, if a Dao Integration Realm expert really gets angry and is willing to spend the time, they can shatter and destroy the entire small world from the outside.
Even a medium-sized world would find it difficult to withstand the deliberate destruction of a Dao Integration Realm expert.
Only the Great World, with its vast and boundless origin, possesses the power to resist and is unafraid of the power of a Dao Integration Realm expert.
However, while a Dao Integration Realm expert cannot destroy a Great World, they can send a shard of their spirit into it.
With the understanding of a Dao Integration Realm expert, even if he only uses the power of the Nine Tribulations of the Primordial Spirit, he can still crush everything.
Therefore, if an ordinary cultivator offends a Dao Integration Realm cultivator...
The best way is to hide and make sure they can never find him.
"Senior is right, it was I who was confused," Lu Qing said, somewhat embarrassed.
"Of course, the reason I'm telling you all this is because you're different, Aqing."
The old dragon suddenly became serious.
“Ah Qing, your foundation is too profound. You are already able to kill someone who has just reached the sixth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.”
I imagine that once your cultivation deepens further, you will be invincible in the Nascent Soul Realm.
Even a Nascent Soul or Divine Soul at the Dao Integration Realm might not be able to do anything to you.
So, Ah Qing, after you go out, whether you're collecting cultivation resources or going into seclusion to cultivate, you should...
You should try to stay in the Great World. As long as you are in the Great World, even someone at the Dao Integration Realm can't do anything to you.
However, once you appear in the starry sky, or in other small or medium-sized worlds, you may be captured by someone at the Dao Integration Realm.
You must remember this very well…
"Is it actually safer in the big world...?"
Lu Qing recalled the old Azure Dragon's earnest instructions that day, and smiled as he looked at the vast Tianyuan Great World in front of him.
The scene where the Holy Alliance and the eight Fifth Tribulation Primordial Spirits of the Demon Clan forced him into the Trial Realm of the Witch Clan.
When he left Tianyuan Great World, he made a decision that he would return one day.
Now, that day has finally arrived.
According to the old Azure Dragon, experts at the Dao Integration Realm cannot enter the World of Life in their true form, which is undoubtedly extremely advantageous to him.
Because this means that this time, he will return without any scruples.
No more hiding and concealing my identity like last time.
Xiao Bai also gazed at the Tianyuan Great World, a complex emotion appearing in his eyes.
When it left that day, it thought it would be difficult to have the chance to return again. Unexpectedly, only a few decades later, it saw its hometown again.
"Ah Qing, how do we get in? Should we just force our way in?" Xiao Li asked.
"That's not necessary."
When Lu Qing and his group entered the Tianyuan Great World, they used the teleportation array in the Xiaocang Realm.
As they departed, they used the power of the Void Flying Boat to forcefully tear open a gap in the world's membrane and burst out.
The first method is obviously not suitable, since they cannot hide their presence when using the interdimensional teleportation array, which would easily arouse suspicion.
As for forcing your way in, it would likely attract the attention of some powerful individuals inside.
Although Lu Qing is not currently wary, he does not want to alert the enemy too early.
“This time we don’t need to force our way in. The Void Flying Boat’s current power can ignore the barrier of the World Membrane and teleport us directly inside.”
As a void flying boat with the essence of a Dao artifact and restored to the level of a top-grade spiritual artifact, its power has now reached an incredible level.
Furthermore, as a spatial artifact, its current ability to traverse the void is now so powerful that even the membranes of the Great World cannot stop it.
"Really? That's great! Shall we go in now?" Xiao Li exclaimed in delight.
"Okay, let's go in now."
Lu Qing focused his mind on the void flying boat, and at the same time released a high-grade spirit stone, which landed in the core.
With a slight thought, the array's restrictions activated, and a powerful spiritual energy erupted from its core.
Breaking through the membrane of the Great World is not easy even for a Void Flying Boat; it requires a great deal of energy, and high-grade spirit stones can replenish such energy.
As the truly terrifying power erupted, a spatial vortex appeared, and the void airship plunged into it and disappeared.
When they reappeared, they were already above a vast primeval forest.
Lu Qing led Xiao Yan and the others out of the void flying boat and casually put the flying boat away.
"I'm finally back."
Xiao Li cheered and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.
It still quite likes the Tianyuan Great World.
After all, the spiritual energy in this great world is rich enough to greatly benefit its cultivation.
Unlike back in its home world, where it had already reached the seventh stage of the Golden Core realm, its cultivation level had hardly increased during this period.
Wu Xing and Xiao Bai were equally delighted and began to soar through the air.
As for Xiaoyan, she was completely stunned at this moment.
"The spiritual energy in this Tianyuan Great World is so abundant?"
Xiao Yan felt the almost solidified spiritual energy around her, and her heart was filled with disbelief.
No wonder my brother and Xiao Li's cultivation levels have increased so quickly; it turns out that the spiritual energy in this Tianyuan Great World is so dense.
Compared to my hometown, the world is truly like a small pond compared to a vast ocean.
"Hey, Qing, why does this place seem so familiar?"
Just as Xiaoyan was amazed by the rich spiritual energy of the Tianyuan Great World, Xiaoli exclaimed in surprise.
It looked around and suddenly, as if remembering something, blurted out.
"I remember now, the forest near the Gale Plains, where we once secluded ourselves for a period of time?"
"roar!"
As if to confirm Xiao Li's words, at this moment, a faint roar suddenly came from the distance ahead.
