A life of clearness

Chapter 323 Phoenix Taoist
"I thought you would temporarily give up the inheritance of Qinghuang Dao." Rong Qing stood on the edge of the flying boat.

Beside her, a phoenix in emerald green clothes stood facing the wind, with an emerald green phoenix talisman hanging around her waist.

"I thought so at first." Fenghuang'er chuckled, "But when I opened my mouth, I found that I couldn't give up. Because... the inheritance of the Qinghuang Dao has always appeared in my life since I became conscious. Regardless of whether Phoenix City welcomes me or not, I can't give it up and join another branch, even if it belongs to the Juntian Sect."

"So you were exposed to the Qinghuang Dao inheritance so early? The rumors I heard were all that you got it by chance in the senior's cave."

"It's true that I got it in the cave." Fenghuang'er smiled, with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes, "But that person was not me, but my master. She picked up the inheritance from the cave and... also picked up me."

"Da Yue Mountain is a music-cultivating sect, and the Qing Huang Dao inheritance is an authentic martial arts inheritance. So I am the only one practicing martial arts in the entire Dayue Mountain. While my fellow sisters and brothers were studying music theory, I endured the beating of a hundred-foot-long water flow under the waterfall in the valley to strengthen my body."

Rong Qing seemed to be thinking about something.

Martial arts training focuses on the accumulation of time. The reason why Fenghuang'er's martial arts attainments are so high is that she has been focusing on martial arts almost since the beginning of her practice.

Rong Qing thought to herself: If I had focused on martial arts from the beginning, and with the guidance of the Sword Master, I'm afraid my martial arts attainments would far exceed Fenghuang'er. It's just a pity that people's time and energy are limited after all. I chose to follow the path of restriction, so naturally I can't be distracted too much on martial arts.

However, the practice of martial arts requires the practitioner to focus on it, and Rong Qing's action is equivalent to giving up.

She herself had not expected that she would resume her martial arts practice nearly nine hundred years later.

"I know you mean well. You're afraid that you'd feel disappointed by the sudden change in my status and position." Fenghuang'er smiled gently and raised her hand to tuck the black hair that was blown behind her ears.

In Dayue Mountain, Fenghuang'er is a gifted girl from heaven and she has even broken through to the state of Divine Transformation, becoming the pride and glory of the entire sect.

In the Qinghang Realm, Fenghuang'er was just an ordinary cultivator from an unknown mother realm who had just become a god, and had offended the daughter of the city lord of Phoenix City. Although Qin Lao was the guarantor, his future was still uncertain.

Such polar changes only took a few days.

Rong Qing looked at Feng Huang'er and nodded in agreement: "I really can't help but worry about this."

"Of course I feel disappointed." Fenghuang'er smiled and shook her head, "But I'm not afraid."

"I know that I am suitable for the Qinghuang lineage's martial arts, so I will continue to move forward with determination. As long as I can demonstrate my talent and strength in this path, even the city lord's daughter cannot hinder my progress in the martial arts. On the contrary...if I were allowed to enter the Qinghuang path, my status would be directly elevated, and I would be given unlimited favors and benefits. I would be terrified."

"Because my strength has not yet reached such a level, I am not worthy of the position and cannot accept it with peace of mind."

As the flying boat sailed, clear and scorching light shone through the curtains and poured onto the floor, stretching the shadows of the two people.

Rong Qing suddenly felt that Fenghuang was cute in a silly way.

Being promoted to a high position, one should take this opportunity to make more plans. But Fenghuang'er thought that being in a low position was also good, where one could practice martial arts with a down-to-earth and humble attitude.

"Junior Sister Fenghuang'er's state of mind really makes me feel ashamed of myself."

Rong Qing and Fenghuang'er turned around to look.

Xizi apparently heard their conversation, walked out of the cabin and stood on the edge with them.

Just take one step and you can leave the flying boat and enter the boundless sky. After Rong Qing and Feng Huanger handed the Phoenix Talisman to the young male cultivator for registration, they followed Qin Lao and Xizi through the black door and appeared on a formation platform in the sky above Qinghang Realm.

Gaze far into the distance, there was only one huge array platform in the vast sky. Rong Qing knew that the coordinates within the boundary corresponding to those tens of thousands of black gates on floating islands were different and were far apart from each other.

After being checked, the cultivators walked out from the array platform one by one. Some of them just flicked their sleeves and flew towards their destination, while others lined up waiting to use the teleportation array. A certain number of people needed to gather before they could be teleported together.

And Old Qin directly summoned a huge flying boat.

It was nearly a thousand feet long, more than five hundred feet wide, and four stories high. The black boat was decorated with dense golden rune patterns.

As soon as he appeared beside the formation platform, he attracted everyone's attention.

Xizi even smiled and explained to Rong Qing: "It is easy to own a flying boat in Qinghang Realm, but it is difficult to own a flying boat of this grade, and it is even more difficult to have a permanent high-altitude flight permit."

"There are rules in the realm: flying over the city is prohibited. Although a few people are exempt from this rule, they are only a few. If you want to fly, you must be outside the city. There are regulations for flying with flying tools, not to mention the huge flying boats. The control is even stricter, and the cost of flying permits is also huge."

The flying boat that could easily accommodate more than 10,000 cultivators now only had four passengers. It seemed a waste, but from a certain perspective, Rong Qing's importance in Old Qin's heart was self-evident.

……

"Senior Brother Xizi." Fenghuanger bowed quickly.

"Junior Sister Yu, don't worry too much." Xizi smiled and said, "The elder Mo Gui that Master introduced to us has a good relationship with the Lord of Phoenix City, who is Xi Zhen's mother. Junior Sister Fenghuang'er is a disciple of Elder Mo Gui, so even if Xi Zhen wants to make things difficult for her, she won't dare to go too far."

"That couldn't be better." Rong Qing said with a smile.

Fenghuang also slowly smiled.

"But what about that person with the same name as Fenghuang'er?" Rong Qing asked Xizi.

To be honest, Rong Qing thought Xi Zhen's idea of ​​deliberately making things difficult for her because of the same name was very childish and deserved a beating, but that didn't mean Rong Qing was indifferent to it.

The female cultivator also called Fenghuang seemed to have an unusual background.

"This has to start with the Taoist priests and Taoist nuns." Xizi was stunned for a moment and said slowly.

"I don't know how your mother world does it, but in the Qinghang world, every major sect will select the most outstanding disciples from the generation of the God Transformation, and let them represent the sect's Taoism in the world of cultivation. If they are male cultivators, they are called Daozi, and female cultivators are called Daonu."

"The Qinghang world is full of martial arts competitions. When the Taoist disciples of different sects meet, if they feel that they have made progress in martial arts practice, they can challenge each other. And this challenge is no longer about personal victory or defeat, but also about the reputation of the Taoist tradition and the sect."

"If it were an ordinary sect, one Taoist son or Taoist daughter would be enough. But our Juntian Sect has many Taoist lineages and even more disciples... One is not enough." Xizi smiled bitterly.

Rong Qing thought to herself why this worry sounded so proud and asking for a beating.

"Could it be...?" She thought of a possibility.
