One of my fairy-like friends

Every emperor has his own unique Dao and Law. Even if an emperor falls, his Dao and Law will not disappear. They will either be engraved in the Great Dao or continue through the lineage of Dao.

However, the lineage of Dao is not complete. The lineage will only continue the lineage created by the Great Emperor himself. However, some of the Dao and Dharma he used in his youth, the Dao and Dharma he acquired from other places, and the Dao and Dharma he did not write into the Imperial Scripture of the Lineage, even if they are the legitimate lineage of the Great Emperor, may not be possessed. But the Great Dao will inscribe them and record them in the Supreme Dao Hall.

Of course, these things aren't only recorded in the Supreme Dao Hall, but the chances of finding them in the wilderness are extremely low. Generally speaking, finding them would shorten one's lifespan.

The four of them worked together to search for the Great Emperor's Dao techniques inscribed on the Great Dao in the small world, but after searching for a while, they found nothing.

There are many ferocious beasts in the small world, with profound cultivation levels. They avoid them if possible, as these beasts are all of higher cultivation levels than them and are extremely terrifying. One careless move could lead to danger.

The small world contained various terrains. After the four of them entered this small world, they were on a lawn. They had previously passed through a dense forest and were now in a desert. This small world was very vast, and they didn't know how big it was.

However, as soon as the three stepped into the desert terrain, they discovered some commotion. Several people were fighting, and shockwaves were flying over.

Mingyan and the others exchanged a glance and then chose to move closer.

One of the two sides in the great battle was the Little Kunpeng King. His opponent was an unfamiliar face, without any demonic features, and remained silent. The Little Kunpeng King had the upper hand, and it was clear that his opponent was no match for him and was struggling.

"You humans are truly trash." The Little Kunpeng King's tone was chilling, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, his killing intent fully revealed. He used the Kunpeng clan's footwork, without employing any Dao or Dharma, but with just his physical body, he was able to defeat his opponent.

As a demon, his physical body was far stronger than that of most humans. Among the demons, the Kunpeng clan was also known for its extremely powerful physical body, and he was already used to the feeling of crushing his opponents with his physical body.

The opponent remained silent, his laws emanating from his body and transforming into several longswords. The sound of the swords echoed through the sky, and each longsword was engraved with mysterious runes, causing the void to tremble. They tore through the sky and flew from all directions, trying to pierce through the Little Kunpeng King!

The Little Kunpeng King was enveloped in a black light, extremely eerie. His fists were incredibly powerful and unstoppable, obliterating the opponent's Dao and Dharma. He then found an opening, knocked the opponent down with a punch, and stomped on the opponent's face, causing the opponent to cough up blood.

This scene is quite familiar, except that the little Kunpeng King who was trampled underfoot that day has been replaced by someone else.

"Trash." Little Kunpeng King exerted force with his foot. The opponent's life force was weak. He sneered, raised his head and looked around, noticing Ming Yan and his group.

When Little Kunpeng King saw Ming Yan and Ning Feixuan acting together, he narrowed his eyes, forcefully crushed the other's face as if Ming Yan was the one being trampled under his feet, and then said, "It's quite a coincidence. It seems that the Great Dao also thinks that you are suitable to be my slave. Come and kneel down, and I will spare your life."

When Little Kunpeng King saw Ming Yan, he didn't make a move immediately. He just waved to him with a contemptuous smile.

Ning Feixuan felt a headache coming on when she saw the Little Kunpeng King. There was a grudge between Ming Yan and the Little Kunpeng King, and she didn't want to get involved.

"How dare a defeated opponent spout such nonsense?" Ming Yan looked coldly at the Little Kunpeng King Bei Ming Ni. Although the opponent's cultivation was not currently restricted, Ming Yan would not back down.

Little Kunpeng King narrowed his eyes and stomped his foot, causing the man to spit out another mouthful of blood. Bei Mingni snorted coldly and stepped on the man, saying, "Holy Maiden, you should act with me. Mingyan will only hold you back."

Ning Feixuan shook her head. "Thank you for your kindness, but I want to seek opportunities with Feiyan. Besides... he has already suffered considerable injuries, Little Kunpeng King, you don't need to treat him like this..."

Bei Mingni's face was gloomy, and she said coldly, "I suggest that the Holy Maiden should abandon Mingyan, this burden. He might not even be able to stand up in a moment."

Huang Feiyan frowned. "If you dare to lay a hand on Ming Yan, I won't stand idly by."

Ning Feixuan glanced at Huang Feiyan and saw her firm attitude. She knew that the Huang family and Ming Yan had a close relationship, and sighed inwardly. Perhaps she could no longer stay out of it.

Yue Qingying remained silent with a cold expression, but it was clear that if Little Kunpeng King dared to make a move, she would definitely not stand idly by.

Little Kunpeng King glanced coldly at Ming Yan, raised his foot, and obeyed Ning Feixuan's words. He seemed quite wary of the group joining forces, and also seemed unwilling to be so rude in front of Ning Feixuan. In the end, he gave up the idea of ​​taking action.

Little Kunpeng King gave Ning Feixuan a deep look before turning and leaving.

Unless absolutely necessary, Mingyan doesn't want to fight to the death with his opponent. Right now, he needs to conserve his strength to prepare for future opportunities.

The injured person had already fainted, a faint light emanating from their body, and disappeared from this small world.

If you are seriously injured, you will be teleported out of this small world, but it will take a certain amount of time. If you die during this time, you will die as well. You cannot rely on this mechanism as a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Huang Feiyan narrowed her eyes. "This little Kunpeng King is really persistent. If he finds an opportunity, he might cause some trouble for Mingyan."

Ning Feixuan shook her head. "With me there, he will consider my feelings and won't act rashly. He doesn't want to be my enemy."

"He really is deeply in love with you." Huang Feiyan's expression was strange. After speaking, she glanced at Ming Yan, recalling that Ming Yan had said he admired Ning Feixuan...

Ning Feixuan said calmly, "For me, cultivation is the ultimate goal. Without cultivation, I can't do anything. As for matters of the heart, I have never considered them."

Mingyan remained silent, feeling that it would be difficult for him to achieve his goal.

Yue Qingying smiled lightly, "Let's keep going. Don't let Bei Mingni affect your mood. Let's continue exploring."

At that moment, an unfamiliar voice came from behind the four of them, "You are Ming Yan?"

The four men tensed up and immediately turned around, only to find a woman in white standing behind them. Her face was cold, and her gaze was fixed on Ming Yan, devoid of any warmth. It was Gu Han Shuang!

Gu Hanshuang approached silently. If she had made a move just now, all three of them would probably have been injured. Isn't that terrifying?

"What brings you here, Fairy Gu?" Ming Yan was wary, but he didn't show it on his face. The other party had put away her violent sword intent, so she didn't seem to be looking for trouble.

Gu Hanshuang stared at Ming Yan for a while, seemingly lost in thought, and then said coldly, "Someone once said that I would meet you, fall in love with you, and become your Daoist partner."

"...?"

Yue Qingying and Huang Feiyan had strange expressions, and Ning Feixuan was also incredulous. She thought this person had come to cause trouble, but instead he came to talk to Ming Yan about these things?!

"I'm thinking about whether or not to kill you. If there really is some kind of fate between us, killing you now might end it." Gu Hanshuang's face was expressionless, her tone completely flat and devoid of any emotion, as if killing was nothing more than a matter of breathing for her.

After saying that, the sword energy around her began to surge violently. Yue Qingying narrowed her eyes, on guard. Huang Feiyan and Ning Feixuan were also prepared. Ning Feixuan could not watch Ming Yan get injured, let alone die. Her master and Ming Yan's master were good friends, and the four of them were currently cooperating.

"...Forget it, I don't see anything special about you. I don't think that person's words will come true, nor do I think I will fall in love with you." Gu Han Shuang's sword aura gradually disappeared, and she said expressionlessly, "It's not right to take your life just because of someone else's words."

After saying that, Gu Hanshuang turned and left.

The four people were left standing there, bewildered in the wind, looking at each other in confusion.

Chapter Ninety-Five Ancient Murals

"What does this mean?" Huang Feiyan was somewhat confused. "Why would Gu Hanshuang come and say these things to Mingyan?"

Ning Feixuan remained expressionless. This man was indeed destined to attract many romantic entanglements; keeping her distance from him was definitely the right thing to do.

Mingyan scratched his head, "I don't know her at all, and I don't understand either."

Gu Hanshuang suddenly ran over and said that the two of them seemed to be destined to become Daoist partners, which caused some subtle changes in her image. Mingyan thought she was the kind of cold and aloof female sword immortal, but now it seems that something is not quite right.

Huang Feiyan thought for a moment, then blinked. "If she could really become your Daoist partner, that wouldn't be bad, would it? Gu Hanshuang is the number one in Nanzhou, isn't she?"

"It's just a vague prophecy," Yue Qingying shook her head. "It proves nothing."

There is no such thing as destiny in this world. What is destiny? That is the level of the intervention of the Great Dao. But the intervention of the Great Dao is always just a trend that can be changed by human beings. Moreover, even if two people might be together in the future, if it is revealed in advance now and they feel resistance in their hearts, they will not be able to be together.

Besides, Mingyan and Gu Hanshuang... putting the two of them together just looks strange.

“That’s true.” Huang Feiyan nodded. Even if there really was such a prophecy, the two might not necessarily end up together.

Or rather, the two might have originally been able to be together, but now that the truth has been revealed, the possibility of them being together is almost zero. How could a woman like Gu Hanshuang possibly develop feelings for a man and be willing to become someone else's Daoist partner...?

"Instead of these things, let's hurry up and look for opportunities." Ming Yan shook his head, unmoved by Gu Hanshuang's words. He already had someone he liked in his heart.

Ning Feixuan nodded gently, "It's more important to focus on this now."

This little incident did not stop the four of them. They continued on their way and soon emerged from the desert into another forest.

The trees in the forest are extremely tall, some even thirty or forty feet high, with lush branches. The forest is dimly lit, and occasionally one can hear the roar of a ferocious beast.

Upon entering the forest, Mingyan could sense that the laws governing the surroundings seemed to have undergone some changes.

I had the same feeling when I walked from the grassland to the forest and then from the forest to the desert. It seemed that each area in the Supreme Dao Palace had different laws, so it was probably divided into several areas.

Suddenly, a white jade-like building appeared before the four of them. They exchanged a glance and then headed towards the white jade hall.

The white jade-like hall has no main entrance; one can simply step inside. It is dimly lit, and only after entering can one see a statue standing there.

She was a graceful woman, holding a willow branch, her face serene, her appearance possessing an indescribable charm. One could see her clearly at first glance, yet her features would blur in an instant. One could remember her face and recognize her the next time they met, but one could not distinguish between beauty and ugliness. This strangeness was something Mingyan had never encountered before.

Inside the hall, one could feel an immense sense of pressure. After Ning Feixuan and the others stepped into the hall, it was difficult for them to take even one step. Only Ming Yan was unaffected.

"Imperial majesty...! This is the statue of Empress Qingzi!" Ning Feixuan had personally witnessed the current Empress Qingzi who ruled the world and was deeply impressed by the emperor's aura and the Empress Qingzi's appearance. She was shocked. She did not expect that the four of them would find the statue of the current Empress Qingzi after searching for a while.

"This...we're secretly learning the Empress's teachings. Won't the Empress be unhappy about it?" Huang Feiyan clicked her tongue in amazement. What a coincidence! They had just come up and encountered the statue of Empress Qingzi. According to the experience of her predecessors, such a hall would have the Emperor's teachings and laws inscribed on it.

"The Empress has not left behind any lineage, and with the Dark Turmoil approaching, she won't care about such things." Ning Feixuan shook her head. "Empress Qingzi once explained her Dao at Yaochi, and also said that if one were to find some of her Dao techniques by chance, one could learn them without worry, as she wouldn't take them to heart."

"What is the Empress's Dao?" Mingyan asked.

“Life is endless.” Ning Feixuan said, “It has many similarities with our Yaochi’s ‘Western Emperor Scripture’. When the Empress was young, she obtained the ‘Western Emperor Scripture’ elsewhere and helped Yaochi a lot because of it. That’s why Yaochi has a connection with her. Her own path has absorbed some of the advantages of the ‘Western Emperor Scripture’.”

"Empress Qingzi has not been an empress for long, so the Great Dao Records should not be the Heart Sutra created by the empress, but rather some Dao and Dharma that she obtained through other means," Huang Feiyan said. "If it is the 'Western Emperor Scripture'... we should avoid suspicion."

“There’s no need for that.” Ning Feixuan shook her head. “Besides, generally speaking, even the complete Imperial Scripture inheritance cannot be obtained in the Extreme Dao Hall. Even if it is obtained, it is enough as long as it is not passed on to outsiders.”

"Moreover, it may not necessarily be a scripture; it could also be some secret techniques." Ning Feixuan thought for a moment and said, "I heard my master say that the Empress has several special secret techniques, one of which is comparable to the extreme speed of the Kunpeng clan."

The speed of the Kunpeng clan is known throughout the world, and it can be called the fastest in the world. Even the Fengling Scripture, which pays great attention to speed, is no match for it. Although the Fengling Scripture is quite unconventional as an imperial scripture, its speed is definitely among the best of the imperial scriptures. However, Mingyan's operation is not as good as Beiming Ni at the same level. If they can find the secret method of Empress Qingzi, the improvement of the four of them will be extremely considerable.

“Let’s split up,” Huang Feiyan said. Dressed in red, she still stood out quite a bit in the dimly lit white jade hall. “If we find anything, we’ll notify the others.”

Ning Feixuan nodded and took the lead. Ming Yan and Yue Qingying also temporarily separated and searched in places like the White Jade Hall.

The White Jade Hall was not large, but there were many murals carved on the walls. Mingyan carefully observed these murals and found that the things depicted on them looked very familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

This passage recounts a story: In the past, people had extremely short lifespans. Some people began to study methods of achieving longevity and later discovered that people could use spiritual energy to cultivate and extend their lifespan. However, cultivation had side effects, and in many cases, it would not only fail to increase lifespan but would actually shorten it. As a result, cultivation methods were despised. Until one supreme being went against the tide, unified the cultivation methods of the human race, and then took the essence and discarded the dross to construct a complete cultivation system.

The story is short and not recorded in writing, but Mingyan somehow understood it.

Mingyan looked at the mural, somewhat puzzled.

On the mural, that supreme being sat cross-legged, surrounded by countless worshippers who showed him utmost respect... or perhaps she? The gender of that supreme being was indiscernible, yet he evoked a profound sense of familiarity...

Yes, it was this supreme being who gave him a familiar feeling, not the murals themselves.

Moreover, he seemed to have seen the same story content in some legends and books of Sun and Moon Village... but it only recorded the beginning of the world, the birth of life and the appearance of mankind, and the subsequent search for the way to immortality, without mentioning cultivation.

Mingyan looked at the supreme being in the mural and uncontrollably reached out to gently touch it.

Have I seen him/her somewhere before?

Mingyan thought about it again and found it absurd. If this legend was true, then who knows how many years had passed since then, at least tens of millions of years. Even if it was an emperor-level figure, it would have long since vanished without a trace. How could he have ever seen such a being that existed for countless ages, perhaps tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years ago?

"Did you find anything?" Huang Feiyan turned around and found Ming Yan staring intently at the mural on the wall. She asked curiously.

"Hmm? It's nothing." Ming Yan only came back to his senses when he heard Huang Feiyan's voice, and shook his head. "Feiyan, have you seen these murals before?"

"No... It's quite novel. Can you understand it?" Huang Feiyan shook her head. The murals on the wall were very profound. All the textures seemed to exist naturally, not like they were carved by someone. Moreover, murals like these require some knowledge of history to understand.

Mingyan explained the story as he understood it, and Huang Feiyan was very surprised, "You really understand it?"

Chapter Ninety-Six Star Gap

“Hmm, I don’t know why I understood it, maybe there was some kind of law intervening,” Mingyan said.

It is not uncommon for some laws to allow young children to understand profound scriptures and begin practicing from a young age.

After all, the languages ​​used by mankind have undergone tremendous changes from ancient times to the present. The scriptures passed down from those ancient times are different from the writing we use now. But what kind of existence is the Imperial Scripture? It can directly interfere with the laws and allow you to understand it directly.
