Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 944 Traveling Around
The scene fell silent for a moment, and everyone became quiet.

Lin Lan, on the verge of tears, choked out:

"Master, I can't help you, I just hope everything goes well for you."

She had thought that after these days of mental preparation, she could face this moment calmly, but she found that she could not hold back her tears.

In an instant, countless fragments of the past flashed through her mind, and she realized that her strongest support was about to leave and would never appear in her life again.

Han Shan pursed his lips and said in a deep voice:
"Master's cultivation is so profound that even your disciples cannot match it. I only wish that your cultivation will advance further and leave a brilliant mark in the starry sky."

Those who are family know their own situation. Based on his abilities and the resources he can acquire in the future, the highest he can reach in this lifetime is the Nascent Soul level, at most he can break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

He thought he had a pretty good understanding of the power of the five elements, but he had no grasp of the power of yin and yang and was completely clueless about how to proceed.

During his conversation with his master, he learned that his master had a certain understanding of Yin and Yang power even before he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. However, even though he had been in the Nascent Soul stage for over a hundred years, he was still like a block of wood.

In the Five Elements Sect's scriptures and the teachings of the Master, the explanation of how to comprehend the power of Yin and Yang only points out a general direction, because many things are mysterious and difficult to understand. If one's level of understanding is not high enough, explaining them too clearly will only create obstacles.

"Hopefully."

Ji An clapped his hands lightly and said jokingly:
"For me, or for any cultivator, being able to walk the path of breakthrough is a fortunate thing."

"Since it's a good thing, why do you all look so sullen?"

He knew in his heart that this parting would be the last time they would meet, but he did not want to see tears fall at the moment of parting.

Liu Yu laughed heartily twice and said:
"Junior brother is the sect's first Nascent Soul True Monarch and the first cultivator to embark on the path of starry sky. Once you break through, you will be registered as an immortal and will no longer be a mortal. I am truly happy for you."

Nascent Soul cultivators have a lifespan of three thousand years, which is not enough to withstand the ravages of time. According to ancient records, cultivators in the Three Flowers Realm can live for at least ten thousand years.

Unlike previous realms, after a cultivator reaches the Three Flowers Realm, their lifespan will continue to increase with the increase of their cultivation level. According to the inheritance, the lifespan can reach up to 30,000 years.

Such a long period of time is no exaggeration to be considered an immortal by ordinary people.

Liu Yu wasn't very confident about breaking through to the Three Flowers Realm, but it was an honor to be able to become fellow disciples with Ji An, something he could brag about to the younger generation for the rest of his life.

Li Lingyu looked at Ji An kindly, her thoughts drifting back to the time she had spent at Ningcui Cliff.

Chen Moxuan murmured wistfully, lost in thought:

"An immortal, an immortal!"

He immediately clenched his right hand into his sleeve, harboring ambitions to break through to the Three Flowers Realm.

This is not blind confidence, but rather based on solid foundations.

After deciphering the mystery of the womb, he fully accepted the insights and understanding of a Nascent Soul Level 5 cultivator. Now, he has become a disciple of a Nascent Soul Level 9 cultivator and received a legacy that allows him to cultivate to the Three Flowers Realm. He is confident that he can reach the Nascent Soul Level 9 in this lifetime.

His master told him that by cultivating planting techniques to transform the barren land, he could quickly accumulate Xuanhuang merit energy. Later, he decided to cultivate the power of the three elements: water, wood, and earth.

When his cultivation broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, and either of the two spells, Dragon Soaring to the End of All Things and Profound Virtue Evolving Spirit, reached the Great Perfection level, he began to follow his master's method to transform the Land of Desolate Spirits.

At this moment, Ji An raised his glass and said, "Today, let's not talk about parting, but about a bright future. Let's drink to this together."

Liu Yu and the others immediately raised their glasses, "Let's drink together."

When the music ended and the crowd dispersed, Ji An returned to his cave and entered the gourd world.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord, who had been dozing on the rattan chair, opened his eyes, stood up, and cupped his hands in greeting:
"Your Majesty, is the banquet over? When shall we leave?"

He originally wanted to join the banquet for drinks, but considering that it was a farewell between the emperor and his fellow disciples, and it was not appropriate to drink too much, he reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​joining in the fun and drank to his heart's content in his own little world.

He was slightly tipsy and looked unsteady on his feet.

For a Nascent Soul level demon, this amount of wine would not make him drunk at all. He could refine the wine by activating his demonic power for a moment. However, he liked the feeling of being drunk.

Ji An shook his head slightly, "Give me some rest in peace."

He took all his tamed beasts with him when he left: Golden Fur, Big Yellow, Little Gold, Blue Shell, Green Deer, Moon Spirit, and the Five Sacred Mountains True Lord.

If he succeeds in breaking through, all these lives will accompany him on his journey through the stars. If he encounters problems during the breakthrough, he will throw this small world back at the last moment, and then the Five Sacred Mountains True Lords and the others will all be able to gain true freedom.

He sat cross-legged under the Gathering Yuan Tree, took out a jade slip, and began to examine the star map.

Although he had seen it many times, the image of the starry sky in this jade slip still shocked him.

The next day, the moon shone brightly in the night sky.

Ji An walked out of the cave, but he did not activate the magical restrictions within it. The jade tablet that had been enchanting lay quietly on the stone table.

He gently reached out and approached the Crimson Cloud Pine. The spirit tree immediately emitted a crimson spiritual light, and then the radiance gradually gained a layer of golden light.

Goodbye, old friends.

He had lived here for hundreds of years and was very familiar with the plants and trees. Now that he was leaving and would never look back, he felt a pang of sadness.

Black, water-like spiritual clouds rose from beneath his feet, and he flew slowly around Crimson Flame Peak at low altitude, casting a final planting spell on the spiritual plants there.

Yellow spiritual light flowed across the land, amidst the roar of dragons, the mist churned and thunder rumbled, and spiritual rain fell like blue jade beads.

The divine intents of water, wood, and earth are intertwined. Although earth and the other two elements have mutual generation and restraint, the nourishing and moisturizing divine intents can be perfectly integrated without any disharmony, as if they were a whole from birth.

A spiritual light flickered in the spiritual fields, and the spiritual plants swayed freely in the rain. The grass and trees were oblivious, unaware that they would never again enjoy such treatment.

Ji An focused on casting spells, and the sadness and reluctance in his heart gradually disappeared. When all the love in his heart was released, he flew out of the cave where the Soul-Nourishing Wood was planted.

Under the bright moon overhead, he drifted away.

Apart from a select few, the disciples of the sect were completely unaware that the cultivator, regarded as a spiritual totem, had embarked on a long journey.

half year later.

The cold wind is biting, and this is the case year-round in the far north.

While other regions are experiencing the sweltering heat of summer, snowflakes are already falling here.

The waves were still roaring, but a lot of ice floes had appeared on the surface.

Ji An's eyes surveyed the land of the far north, a land even more desolate than the Western Continent.

To be precise, it can't be called desolate, because a large number of monsters live in this land; it's more accurate to say it's uninhabited.

This area is covered with natural coniferous forests that stretch as far as the eye can see, but the northernmost forests are already covered in snow.

Despite the harsh weather, such an environment is not a concern for Nascent Soul cultivators.

When the blizzard begins, the far north can be blanketed with several feet of snow in just a few days. The snow falls heavier and heavier, and Ji An floats in the air, listening to the howling wind rushing past his ears, feeling the chill of time.

He didn't erect a magical barrier, letting the large snowflakes fall on him and be instantly blown away by the gale.

People in his previous life enjoyed skiing, but he came into this world without the opportunity to try it. Once he was able to fly, all activities that involved struggling on the ground lost their appeal to him.

After sensing the snow for a moment, Ji An released a golden light that pierced through the wind and snow, leaving a beautiful arc in the vast snowfield.

He has already experienced this icy world; now all he needs to do is fly to his next destination.

A few years later.

It was midday, and the warm sunlight shone down on the earth.

Ji An floated in the air, looking down at the verdant mountains, rushing streams, and cascading waterfalls below.

He looked up at the towering mountains in the distance and could occasionally feel the fluctuations of the magic array. There was a powerful magic array operating in those mountains.

He is now in the heart of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and if he is not mistaken, this is Qingqiu.

The magic circle possesses powerful mimicry abilities, but it cannot hide from his 'eagle eyes'.

Just as he was hesitating about whether to enter this forbidden area, a beautiful woman flew out from the formation. She was wearing a blue silk dress, her white hair was like silver, her face was like a jade plate, and her beautiful eyes were lively.

"Fellow Daoist, which sect of the human race do you belong to? How dare you disregard the agreement and trespass into the ancestral land of the Heavenly Fox Clan? Do you think our clan has no strong warriors?"

The woman spoke sternly, her face contorted with anger.

Hu Lingshan, the Grand Elder of the Celestial Fox Clan, was not known for her good temper. If it weren't for the powerful aura that occasionally emanated from the newcomer, she would have already killed him.

Ji An did not conceal his presence; the celestial foxes had already discovered him the moment he arrived.

After conducting covert reconnaissance, the Celestial Foxes sensed the powerful strength of the newcomer and, not daring to be negligent, immediately reported the matter to the Grand Elder.

The enemy's cultivation was profound, and no Heavenly Fox dared to come and make contact.

As she got closer to the stranger, Hu Lingshan became increasingly wary.

She could sense the level of a stranger's presence, a level even more refined than her own.

Ji An glanced at the beautiful vixen a few times, then cupped his hands and smiled:

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. My Daoist name is Xuanqing. I am not a disciple of the Central Continent but a cultivator of the Golden Spirit Sect of the Western Continent. I do not know what kind of agreement you have with those cultivators."

"I've come here on a pilgrimage, but I doubt I've truly set foot in Qingqiu?"

If Zhenyue Zhenjun hadn't informed him, he would have already made contact with Qingqiu.

At this moment, he was secretly on guard, realizing that his opponent was on the same level as him and should not be underestimated.

Ji An thought to himself:

'Any powerful demon that randomly appears from Qingqiu can reach the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage; no wonder they've been able to stand strong in Qingqiu for so many years.'

He was unaware of the true situation in Qingqiu, so of course he had to be cautious in his assessment of the enemy.

Hu Lingshan gave a perfunctory bow, scrutinizing the other person as she spoke:
"So you are True Monarch Xuanqing, no wonder you didn't know the contents of the agreement."

This elder is Hu Lingshan, the Great Elder of Qingqiu. All the areas within the Ten Thousand Mountains are under Qingqiu's jurisdiction. Any cultivator who poses a threat to Qingqiu and approaches this place is considered to have entered Qingqiu's ancestral land.

"If I appear near the Golden Spirit Sect's mountain gate, would you feel comfortable letting me linger there?"

She had learned about Ji An's basic information from Hu Yuniang and Hu Yujie, and was now deeply shocked.

Only a few hundred years have passed since that initial contact, yet unexpectedly, a cultivator at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage has emerged from a sect of the Western Continent.

Every step of growth for the human race is a challenge for Qingqiu.

Although the Celestial Fox Clan is powerful, it is not easy for them to cultivate a member of their own clan at the Nascent Soul level.

Ji An smiled and shook his head, saying amicably:

"Fellow Daoist, you are overthinking this. I have no intention of provoking you. I have already enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Ten Thousand Mountains. If you have no further instructions, then I will take my leave."

His most important purpose in traveling was to carefully observe the scenery of this world, not to fight and kill.

To put it another way, the opponent is too close to the formation. Even if it is a well-prepared surprise attack, the opponent can easily retreat into the formation if a battle breaks out.

With that, he cupped his hands in greeting again, saying, "Fellow Daoist Hu, it's a pleasure to meet you. Until we meet again."

He turned around gracefully, releasing a burst of golden light that spread out in five colors, and then he disappeared from the spot.

Hu Lingshan watched the disappearing light and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Such a flying escape technique was beyond her reach; it would be best to avoid conflict.

Over the next forty years, Ji An traveled to the Southern Continent and the Eastern Sea, and also crossed the Endless Sea to reach the Western Continent.

In the Southern Continent, he fought against several Nascent Soul level demonic beasts and even killed a Nascent Soul level eight Shan Yi.

In the land of the East Sea, he slew a large number of sea beasts.

These diverse marine creatures numbered over five million, densely covering the entire sea surface, resembling countless toads clustered together.

The atmosphere of the Western Continent is completely different from that of the Eastern Continent. This is a world entirely dominated by Buddhist cultivators, having undergone all the transformations. In fact, the atmosphere in the air is not even suitable for cultivators to practice.

The power of aspiration rises in every piece of land, and the living beings here have been completely transformed into puppets under the rules of Buddhism.

Ji An felt a pang of sorrow, but he did not intervene to save these people's minds. He couldn't save them anyway. For these people, living in a false world was actually quite good, as they didn't have to face the pain of waking up.

It's all about timing and fate; everyone has their own destiny, and he is no exception.

In front of the Lantau Monastery, Ji An transformed into his true form and unleashed a golden light that shot straight into the sky.

He had experienced the scenery of most of the land and a small part of the sea in this world, and now he finally made up his mind to take that last step.

The five-colored light was exceptionally bright today, much like the tail flame of Ji An's aircraft. He passed through three layers of aura clouds and arrived below the net of laws.

At this moment, the Xuanhuang merit energy hidden within his body surged out like a river bursting its banks, flowing into the net of laws. This was the first and last time that this world had plundered him.

The merit energy in the Moon Palace gradually diminished until it completely disappeared.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Ji An felt something surge into his body, and then he suddenly passed through the net of laws and arrived at a place that truly belonged to the Outer Heavens.
