Floating Immortal Order

Chapter 144: He Yin

Chapter 144: He Yin

Xu Disheng put down the bottle of Qi Boosting Pills in his hand, the white profound qi surrounding him gradually fading away.

The Sea of Qi in his Jianggong acupoint had already expanded by several times and formed its own self-replenishing cycle. His body was abundant with Shangqing profound qi. Faint wisps of it drifted out from his body, gracing his every movement and gesture.

Xu Disheng had just broken through to the peak Sea of Qi stage, and at the moment, there was still some profound qi in his meridians that he couldn’t fully control.

After regulating his breathing for a while, his Sea of Qi stabilized completely. In his Jianggong Sea of Qi, there was an endlessly spinning vortex, constantly producing more profound qi.

Qi Boosting Pills were extremely expensive. Each one cost 80 spirit stones, and their effects were significant.

Now that Xu Disheng had cultivated to the upper limit of the Sea of Qi stage, his sea of profound qi couldn’t expand any further.

If he wanted to advance further, he could only rely on his own destiny and powers of comprehension to try to comprehend his own Dao Path and build a foundation from the profound laws. Only by doing this could he break through to the Dao Foundation stage.

The majority of the Dao Paths that people comprehended were related to a desire for longevity, forging ahead bravely, becoming stronger, or fulfilling an oath. But these Dao Paths were already walked by many, so constructing their foundation from profound laws was a lot simpler. After all, they could draw on the experiences of countless other people who had walked the same path, so they would rarely end up down the wrong path.

The remaining minority would walk paths related to slaying monsters, eliminating ghosts, strengthening their sect, refining Magic Treasures, or other kinds of Dao Paths that were less orthodox. Although they deviated from the mainstream paths, they each had merits to them that made them equally matched.

The Dao Path had a lot to do with one’s own heart of cultivation, and in advancing from the Dao Foundation stage to the Divine Core stage. As soon as one entered the Dao Foundation stage, it would no longer be possible to make any changes to one’s Dao Path.

“Junior Martial Brother Xu, Senior Martial Brother Jian and I have a share in a large-scale mission to go to the He Yin Territory. If you want to come with us, go to Mingxin Peak right away after viewing this message and go to the palace hall where Senior Martial Brother Jian is.”

Xu Disheng put away the jade slip he received from He Junyu and pondered for a moment. Then, he stood up and left his room.

Jian Liangbi was the disciple of Severing Meridian Spirit Master Feng Simiao, and an extremely rare genius with a Rank 4 Spiritual Root. His background was formidable, and even though he was only at the Sea of Qi stage, he already had his own palace hall on the 1st ranked Mingxin Peak.

The Internal Disciple Tournament was still underway, but the Sea of Qi division had concluded a long time ago. Right now, the Dao Foundation division of the Internal Disciple Tournament was ongoing.

Their competing venue wasn’t the Green Lotus Domain, but in one of the sect’s Secret Realms. After all, there were only a few dozen Dao Foundation stage disciples competing in the tournament, so selecting the top 10 out of such few people was an extremely simple matter. There was almost no suspense involved.

Severing Meridian Spirit Master’s domain, Passing Meridian Palace, was a massive, unparalleled structure at the summit of Mingxin Peak.

Jian Liangbi’s palace hall was a side hall among the many halls in the complex. Although it wasn’t comparable to Severing Meridian Spirit Master’s main great hall, it was still lofty and magnificent, not at all inferior to his identity as the direct descendent of a Spirit Master.

At this moment, there were already several dozen disciples in front of the hall. When Xu Disheng landed, he saw some familiar faces, namely Li Cangyun, Yan Cheng, and some of the other top geniuses.

“Junior Martial Brother Xu, you’re also coming to the He Yin Territory?” Li Cangyun asked Xu Disheng, a hint of surprise in his tone.

“Senior Martial Brother Li,” Xu Disheng greeted, looking around at the disciples. Practically all of them were elite disciples, and some of them were even top ranking geniuses. “I still haven’t received the mission details.”

Li Cangyun nodded. But just when he was about to open his mouth to speak, he saw Jian Liangbi and He Junyu come out from the hall. He immediately closed his mouth and turned his head, hinting to Xu Disheng.

“At the border between the Shan Mountain Territory and the He Yin Territory, an inheritance that is estimated to be at the Primordial Spirit stage in rank has appeared. It has recently been gradually attracting many Dao Foundation stage and Sea of Qi stage geniuses, causing them to converge on the location. Orders from the Mountain have designated Martial Uncle Jing Xingchen and Martial Uncle Bian Hongyu as leaders of the team. They were to choose several Sea of Qi stage geniuses to bring along with them for practical experience, and completing this ordeal would count as participating in a large-scale mission,” Jian Liangbi declared indifferently as he swept his gaze over the several dozen disciples present.

“Martial Uncle Jing Xingchen!”

“Martial Uncle Jing is the number one genius among our Mingxin Mountain Range’s Dao Foundation stage disciples. He even earned 4th place in the Dao Foundation division of the last Eight Mountains Grand Tournament!”

Many of the disciples looked excited. It wasn’t that they lacked composure. Rather, Jing Xingchen’s reputation was just too huge.

Although he had a Rank 5 Spiritual Root, he had a natural talent for the sword. His Dao Path was entirely focused on the sword, and he was the only person at the Dao Foundation stage in the Mingxin Mountain Range who had once fought against Sacred Son Feng Shao. Even in the entire eight Mountains of the Shangqing Sacred Sect, he was publicly recognized as a genius in the Dao of the Sword.

Moreover, this time’s mission was mainly for gaining practical experience, so there wasn’t a single specific objective. Many of the disciples’ expressions revealed looks of eager excitement as they looked forward to seeing more of the wider world at the boundary between the Shan Mountain Territory and the He Yin Territory.

Jian Liangbi’s brows furrowed slightly. “Quiet,” he reprimanded.

The disciples quieted down, but the bright gleam in their eyes was undiminished.

Next to him, He Junyu spoke. “This time, only six disciples at the Sea of Qi stage were chosen to go. Senior Martial Brother Yu has other matters to attend to, hence Senior Martial Brother Jian and I called you all here. We will select three people from among you to come with us.”

Guan Lu came forward and said, “Senior Martial Brother He, you and Senior Martial Brother Jian are only two people. Why are you only selecting three people?”

He Junyu gave him a sideways glance and replied, “Because we have already picked out one person, why do you ask?”

“No, nothing,” Guan Lu said, his expression stiffening. He then hurriedly retreated to one side.

“Junior Martial Brother He, we’ll bring along Junior Martial Sister Yinghong. You can go ahead and pick the other two, I’ll head over to where Martial Uncle Jing is first,” Jian Liangbi said, casually handing over the task to He Junyu. A multi-colored light flashed around his body and he rose into the air, disappearing off into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

“Luo Yinghong and Xu Disheng, come forward,” He Junyu instructed, glancing at a beautiful girl in a red dress.

”Yes, Senior Martial Brother He,” the girl responded, an attractive glimmer reflecting in her eyes as she came forward and quietly stood next to him.

Li Cangyun, Guan Lu, Yan Cheng, and the others watched as Xu Disheng went forward, a hint of envy in their gazes.

He Junyu paused for a moment, contemplating as he swept a cursory gaze over the disciples. Then, he said, “Li Cangyun.”

Li Cangyun’s face lit up. He cupped his hands and came forward.

“Guan—”

Before he could say the two words of Guan Lu’s name, he was interrupted by someone.

“He Junyu, I will go with you guys,” a white-clothed youth declared loudly as soon as he descended on his spirit crane and landed on the Peak.

He Junyu’s brows furrowed slightly as he spoke, “…Young Martial Uncle, your name doesn’t seem to be among the list of Sea of Qi stage disciples.”

The white-clothed youth came up and put his arm around He Junyu with a friendly smile. “No worries. Just now, I was speaking with Senior Martial Brother Jing. He already agreed to bring me along.”

He Junyu was somewhat speechless. He glanced at Guan Lu and started, “Junior Martial Brother Guan…”

“It’s no problem, Senior Martial Brother He,” Guan Lu said, cupping his hands. He was actually quite sensible and intelligent.

“You guys can all go,” the white-clothed youth said to the several dozen disciples, flicking his sleeves. “He Junyu, where’s Jian Liangbi at? When are we setting out?”
