Chapter 1395: The Decision of True Person Miao Yi, Qi Lingyun Volunteers (1/5, Requesting Subscription)

After a moment of reflection, True Person Miao Yi finally emerged from seclusion.

As soon as he emerged, he encountered Lady Xun Lanyin and their daughter Qi Lingyun.

"Husband returned in such haste and went right back into seclusion—did you find something outside?" Xun Lanyin asked curiously.

As someone close to him, she naturally knew her husband's cultivation base.

For him to rush back like this, the gains must have been substantial.

True Person Miao Yi nodded: "You've guessed correctly. I was just about to seek you out to speak of this!"

"Seek us?"

Xun Lanyin was startled. "Does this concern us too?"

True Person Miao Yi nodded and led the two to a pavilion, erected a sealing array, then revealed the news he had received from Li Yingqiong.

"The myriad worlds of the cosmos?"

"Cultivation beyond Great Luo?"

"This…"

Xun Lanyin and Qi Lingyun froze in place.

Not to mention Great Luo—even the Heavenly Immortal realm was beyond their reach in the short term.

"But how does this concern us?" Xun Lanyin asked, puzzled.

True Person Miao Yi smiled: "You're thinking too simply. If this path is easy to cultivate and can reach beyond Great Luo, it is surely a heavenly road—how could we abandon it?"

"This… Husband, if we abandon Shushan's methods, won't we face punishment from our Ancestral Master?" Xun Lanyin was stunned by her husband's idea.

True Person Miao Yi shook his head: "If Ancestral Master Changmei knew of this, he would surely support it. This is the path to Peerless Saint and Hunyuan—aren't you tempted?"

Xun Lanyin fell silent.

As a cultivator, she too was tempted.

"Do you think the Ancestral Master would be tempted?"

After a moment's thought, Xun Lanyin nodded lightly: "I believe even the Ancestral Master could not refuse."

"Exactly." True Person Miao Yi smiled. "By cultivating our Shushan lineage's methods, we may at best become Jin Xian like the Ancestral Master. But by cultivating the Dao of Tai Xuan's Ancestral Master, we can reach Hunyuan directly—anyone who isn't foolish knows which to choose."

Even possessing a Hunyuan method doesn't guarantee becoming Hunyuan.

But at least a Hunyuan method shows the path forward—far superior to ordinary Jin Xian methods.

"Don't forget Grand Master Taiqing."

Emei descended from the Taiqing lineage; even if Ancestral Master Changmei didn't punish us, we'd still need to answer to Grand Master Taiqing.

True Person Miao Yi shook his head: "The same logic applies—Grand Master Taiqing likely couldn't refuse this Immortal-Martial path either. He too is a cultivator; how could he ignore a heavenly road?"

Xun Lanyin nodded: "The logic holds, but the risk is too great. We're merely speculating—we can't know the Ancestral Master's true thoughts."

True Person Miao Yi smiled: "So I plan to have Lingyun and Yingqiong begin cultivating the Immortal-Martial path first, and observe the reaction."

"Won't that put Lingyun in danger?"

Xun Lanyin frowned.

In this world, cultivation and ascension emphasize severing karmic ties, but that doesn't mean true heartlessness.

At least True Person Miao Yi and his wife were not such people—otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to guide their reincarnated children back onto the immortal path.

True Person Miao Yi shook his head: "You're overthinking it. Recite the Tai Xuan Divine Incantation once, and you'll understand why."

With hesitation, Xun Lanyin began reciting.

As she chanted, she seemed to see a towering, majestic presence standing between heaven and earth, its entire form suffused with Dao rhythm, like the origin of all worlds.

After just one recitation, Xun Lanyin felt her mind crystal clear.

"Is this divine incantation so powerful?"

"It's not the incantation that's powerful—it's the Dao Lord who created it," True Person Miao Yi sighed. "Ordinary mortals who chant it gain only beast-like strength and fierce combat prowess. But for cultivators like us, chanting it lets us behold the Dao Lord, purify the Primordial Spirit—it is truly an ultimate wonder."

"If Lingyun and Yingqiong establish the Immortal-Martial lineage, the Dao Lord will surely watch over them—who could harm them?"

Xun Lanyin gazed at her daughter, who was eager to try, yet still couldn't fully let go.
