A life of clearness

Chapter 510: Mountains beyond the mountains, people outside the mountains

Hearing this, Rong Qing's mood was complicated.

"Do you think that your master is reminding you not to be too arrogant and complacent?"

Rong Qing was silent.

She remembered the message the senior from the Zun Realm left her in the trial field: When practicing cultivation, one must always examine oneself and not be too arrogant or impatient.

There are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. Even though the senior that Tianxia No.1 mentioned was extremely confident in her understanding of the origin of the Tao, she had to admit that he was a genius and a brilliant talent to have figured out the time pause before the ninth turn.

But after being defeated in the serial battle, he became obsessed with practicing both time and space, and even died in the end. It was hard to tell whether he was overconfident or conceited, holding his breath to defeat the best in the world.

Number One Under Heaven snorted, as if he understood what Rong Qing was thinking: "Everyone in the world values ​​results, especially those who risk their lives like you. If he succeeds, everyone will be happy. But if he fails, there will be a million reasons for failure."

"But the fact is that only when you prove yourself with results can the efforts behind you be talked about by others." Rong Qing said softly.

This is the reality. Especially in a place like the cultivation world where strength is paramount, you only see the first laugh and never hear the second cry.

"You have to remember that giving your all is the way to win."

Rong Qing smiled and replied: "I always fight only for victory."

It's not about flattering the audience and telling them how hard I work.

……

"You said Yuan Cheng has been paying attention to the two female cultivators in the spirit world recently?"

The extremely tall young man in armor took off his mask, revealing a face with deep contours. He couldn't be said to be very handsome, but he had a rare madness.

He had a high nose bridge and dark skin. When his light-colored pupils looked at his opponent, he looked as indifferent as if he was looking at a dying person.

"What? The Yuan family wants to choose a concubine for him?" The armored young man casually found a protruding rock beside him and sat down, his arms resting on his knees. "The people in the Venerable Realm don't like her, so they want to go to the Spirit Realm to find one?"

"I don't know about that." With his hands clasped in his sleeves, following behind the young man in armor was a Taoist priest in gray clothes. He had a young face and a neat Taoist bun on his head.

"Then tell me what you know."

"These two female cultivators are from the Qinghang Realm."

“Qinghang Realm…” The armored young man smacked his lips and said, “A small spiritual realm ranked at the bottom among the myriad realms of the Northern Sky.”

"That's right. One of them has reached the ninth level of Spiritual Transformation, and the other has barely reached the second level."

"Second transformation?" The armored young man narrowed his eyes slightly. "It's a bit strange. Please tell me about this second transformation in detail first."

"Your Highness, have you noticed anything?" The Taoist in gray smiled.

"Humph. You still need to notice something so obvious? Yuan Cheng has always been very picky. He doesn't even look down on an ordinary ninth-level person, so how could he look down on a second-level person? There must be something special about those two people."

The armored young man spoke frivolously before, but he knew in his heart that Yuan Cheng was not interested in women at all, so it was certainly not because of any romantic matters that he suddenly paid attention to the two female cultivators from the spiritual world.

As for the Taoist in gray, he was silently criticizing you for being so arrogant, but he remained calm on the surface.

"This girl's name is Yu Rong. She was born in the Mother Realm, and now she's taking a master from the Juntian Sect in the Qinghang Realm." After summarizing the information he had collected, the Taoist in gray told it to the armored young man in an orderly manner.

"This woman..."

The Taoist in gray lowered his head, waiting to hear what the young man in armor had to say.

But the armored young man panted for a long time and only said:
“…Interesting.” The Taoist in gray rolled his eyes silently.

"Isn't there another one? Go on."

"The other female cultivator is named Fenghuang. She was born an orphan, and has reached the ninth level of spiritual transformation. She is a Taoist girl from the Qinghuang lineage of the Juntian Sect... It is said that His Highness Yuan Cheng fought with her when he passed through the Qinghang Realm, and severely injured her. There has been no news about her since then."

"Are you scared of being beaten?" The armored youth snorted and laughed, "How boring. He's even worse than the second-level warrior."

"Your Highness, do you want to...?" the Taoist in gray asked in a formal manner.

"Keep investigating, and focus on the second transformation of the incarnation. The sequence war is imminent, and Yuan Cheng will never waste time on irrelevant people." The armored young man's eyes were stern.

But after resting for a few words, he stood up again, put on the mask, and walked forward with big strides.

The land was full of sand and gravel, and the gravity was amazing, but the armored youth was able to walk without any hindrance, swinging his sword and slashing casually as he walked. It seemed casual, but every strike was accurate, and he beheaded all the strange birds that flew down from the sky. These strange birds were born with three heads, and as their strength grew, they would grow one to three more heads. They were also gifted with magical powers, and their calls could confuse people's minds. The calls would drive monks with insufficient strength directly crazy.

But to the young man in armor, they were nothing more than some broken gong-like voices, and he would be at peace if he could just chop off all their heads.

Black blood gushed out from the severed head like a fountain.

The Taoist in gray followed slowly behind the armored young man, sighing that his highness's brain finally worked for once, while stretching out his long tongue to catch the black blood beads that were spurting out.

The Taoist in gray clothes retracted his tongue and closed his eyes with a satisfied expression.

Although the strange bird looks ugly, its blood does not taste fishy at all, but rather extremely sweet.

……

"Yuan Cheng? Aunt, are you sure it's Yuan Cheng?" The woman in palace dress sitting on the nineteenth-step high seat raised her eyebrows, somewhat incredulous.

"Your Highness, it is absolutely true." The beautiful middle-aged woman, whom the woman respectfully called aunt, said hastily, "The high-ranking officials of the Donglin Sect and the elders of the Yuan clan have all been alarmed."

If Yuan Cheng wanted to observe Rong Qing quietly, it would not be easy to be discovered.

But this time the two major forces are investigating together, and there will always be clues discovered by the other forces in the world.

"Of the two women, which one does he like?" The woman in palace dress supported her chin with one hand, frowning. It was obvious that she had not yet recovered from her surprise.

She was already surprised that Yuan Cheng could fall in love with a woman, but she absolutely could not accept that he fell in love with two women at the same time.

"It should be the female cultivator named Yu Rong." It was a long story. The beautiful middle-aged woman directly handed over a jade slip with both hands: "Your Highness will know it at a glance."

The jade slip suddenly disappeared from the middle-aged beautiful woman's hand, and suddenly appeared in the hand of the woman in palace dress.

Almost instantly, the woman in palace dress finished reading all the information about Rong Qing and Taoist Phoenix in the jade slip.

"Aunt, you are wrong." She had put away all the surprise on her face and said solemnly, "Yuan Cheng does have a crush on Yu Rong, but it has nothing to do with romance."

"Your Highness?"

"Don't you realize she has great potential? When we were at the second stage of the Spiritual Transformation, I, Yuan Cheng, and the other seven were all unable to achieve what Yu Rong has now. If it weren't for Yuan Cheng's attention to her, we would have discovered her. I'm afraid she would have given us a big 'surprise' in the Sequence War a hundred years later. And we knew nothing about her at that time."

"Your Highness..." The beautiful middle-aged woman did not expect that Yu Rong could receive such a high evaluation from the woman in palace dress: "She is just a female cultivator from the spiritual world." Even if she was given a hundred years, no matter how hard she tried, she could not expect to catch up with His Highness.

"Aunt, don't underestimate anyone, and don't ignore the various causes and conditions in this world."

The beautiful middle-aged woman suddenly fell silent. She remembered that Her Highness was once an unknown female cultivator in the spiritual world.
