Chapter 171

He couldn't remember clearly.

Anyway, it was quite a long time.

As for two months, it was truly like a heavenly book.

"On this trip, Little Junior Brother can be considered to have truly stepped into the cultivation world. In the future, he will encounter more dangers; after all, we provoked quite a few forces back then."

The Peak Master of the Medicine King Peak said.

Her name was Luo Qingtai.

She looked like an old woman, appearing to be of a very high age.

"Speaking of back then, I wonder if anyone still remembers the Profound Heaven Eighteen Sons from nearly two hundred years ago!"

Mo Shukuang suddenly said.

Hearing this...

the others, including Xi Yingqing, had memories welling up in their eyes.

That was truly a period of time that was hard to forget.

"That's all in the past."

Xi Yingqing withdrew his thoughts. "With me protecting the path, unless those kinds of existences make a move, no one can hurt Little Junior Brother."

"If it weren't for being... Dao-slashed back then, you would also have had the opportunity to step into that step!"

Shangguan Zhi clenched his hands, his eyes becoming murderous.

"Yes."

Mo Shukuang and Luo Qingtai both nodded.

Back then, Xi Yingqing was the person with the highest potential in the sect.

But unfortunately...

"It was only an opportunity."

Xi Yingqing smiled slightly. "Little Junior Brother's potential is much higher than mine. If I am one, then he is ten."

The three nodded.

This was indeed obvious to all.

"Watch, Little Junior Brother will definitely make it to the end, and he will also walk the path we haven't finished."

"And what we have to do... is to protect his basic safety."

"Even if we have to pay everything."

Xi Yingqing stood with his hands behind his back.

The cold wind blew.

His white hair danced lightly.

His eyes were filled with determination.

The sky was blue, and there were no clouds for ten thousand miles.

A Cloud Boat broke through the wind and traveled at an extremely fast speed.

Although compared to the top-ranked large provinces, Tianling Province was small, it was only relative.

In itself, it was also a vast territory.

Even using the Cloud Boat at full speed, it would take several days to completely leave.

It was now three days later.

The Cloud Boat finally arrived at the border of Tianling Province.

The direction of travel was north.

Because Tianxuan Province was located at the northernmost part of the Southern Border.

It was also the place closest to the Central Province.

Meng Zhangqing stood at the front of the Cloud Boat, looking at the mountains and rivers, overlooking the great rivers.

This journey had truly seen many magnificent landscapes he had never seen before.

It could be said that his horizons had been greatly broadened.

The thirteen provinces of the Southern Border, from strong to weak, were Tianxuan, Tianchu, Tianji, Tianheng, Tianyang, Tianyun, Tianguang, Tianquan, Tiansheng... Tianling, Tianyao, Tianyue.

Further ahead was Tiansheng Province.

According to the Great Elder.

The strength of this province was medium to low, with three First-Grade Sects.

The number of Life-Death Realm experts was about ten.

"Tianyun Province."

Meng Zhangqing murmured this name.

He remembered Bai Suxi saying that she came from this large province.

According to the map, after passing Tiansheng and then Tianguang, it would be Tianyun Province.

He didn't know if Bai Suxi had returned to Tianyun Province.

He shook his head slightly.

Meng Zhangqing dispelled his distracting thoughts and walked toward the pavilion of the Cloud Boat.

He happened to hear the Great Elder lecturing.

"When away from the sect, remember to be cautious in words and deeds, and do not be arrogant, conceited, or overbearing."

"Do everything according to the rules and do not easily overstep."

"In case of trouble, endure and yield first."

"What if I can't endure it and can't yield?"

Shi Yao raised his hand.

Now that they had stepped into Spirit-Communication, the brothers' physiques were even more terrifying.

Both were twenty meters tall!

It was lucky the Cloud Boat was big enough, otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to accommodate the two brothers.

"Then you can make a move."

The Great Elder glanced at him.

"Okay."

Shi Yao nodded obediently and then put his hand down.

Meng Zhangqing was listening not far away.

He found that the Great Elder's philosophy seemed to be the exact opposite of the Sect Master's.

When leaving...

the Sect Master's words, in short, were—just do it, only seek to have your thoughts clear.

But the Great Elder said to endure and yield first.

And only talk about it if you really can't endure it.

"One sect, two philosophies."

Meng Zhangqing shook his head slightly.

He didn't think too much about it.

After all, people are different.

Returning to the pavilion.

His exclusive place of cultivation.

He then took out the things the Sect Master gave him, or more accurately, the storage ring Yun Buque brought back.

Inside were the resources for the Life-Death Realm.

Cultivation in the Life-Death Realm was actually similar to the Spirit-Communication Realm, basically relying on one's own comprehension, so very few external objects could play a role.

Unless it was those few types.

His consciousness probed into the storage ring.

Presented before his eyes were three spirit grasses.

Black and white in color.

Radiating a sense of life and death.

"This is... Life-Death Grass!"

Meng Zhangqing recognized it at a glance.

It is said that this grass only grows in the place where powerful living beings fall, and it has a probability of growing on their corpses.

Once consumed, one can obtain a large amount of life-death insights.

It is incredibly rare and scarce.

Its value is even more priceless.

It can be said that the appearance of any Life-Death Grass is enough to attract many Life-Death Realm experts to come out of seclusion and fight to the death for it!

"Not bad."

Meng Zhangqing's eyes were bright.

With these Life-Death Grasses, improving by three or four minor realms is not a big problem.

The journey ahead can also be considered to have something to do.

By the way, try to see if the Great Elder can be added as a friend.

To be honest, although the Great Elder has always treated him with a smile, the feeling of a senior is too strong, making it truly difficult for him to speak.

——

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

The Cloud Boat continuously sailed past Tiansheng Province and Tianguang Province, entering the territory of Tianyun Province.

The landscape of Tianyun Province was quite different from that of Tianling Province.

There were many mountain peaks in this province, and they were those kinds of strange peaks, unusually towering.

The clouds and mist were also quite thick, spreading widely.

Perhaps this was the origin of Tianyun Province.

The Cloud Boat sped down and drove toward an ancient city in the distance.

According to the Great Elder, they needed to rest for a few days and take the opportunity to see the customs of Tianyun Province, which could be considered broadening their knowledge.

To this...

naturally, no one objected.

The journey was boring after all, and no matter how good the scenery was, one would get tired of it after seeing too much.

Especially the Shi family brothers.

They were almost driven crazy.

They wanted to chat with Meng Zhangqing, but Meng Zhangqing was in seclusion.

As for the others...

they were not familiar.

They couldn't talk together.

It was truly boring.

"Zhangqing, take a break in the middle and come out to get some air."

The Great Elder's voice rang out from the token beside him.

Meng Zhangqing immediately opened his eyes.

Compared to half a month ago, the sense of life and death on his body was even richer, clearly having made great progress.

He had already stepped into the second level of the Life-Death Realm.

Compared to the Spirit-Communication Realm, this speed seemed a bit slow.

But in fact, it was still very, very fast.

You have to know that this is the Life-Death Realm; where can you break through a minor realm in half a month?

Do you really think it's eating and drinking?

"Rest, huh."

Meng Zhangqing slowly stood up.

That's fine, it's just right to go out and see the situation in other provinces.

It's just that I don't know which large province I've reached now.

Pushing open the door.

In sight were two huge figures.

In front of them, he estimated he was only the size of their palms.

It was the Shi family brothers.

"Senior Brother Meng, you finally came out. Let's go into the city together."

Shi Yao said excitedly.

Slap!

Shi Guang gave him a slap.

"Call him Junior Uncle."

"Junior Uncle."

Shi Yao touched his head and called out unwillingly.

"In private, just call me Senior Brother; there are not so many rules."

Meng Zhangqing immediately laughed.

Speaking of which...

it had indeed been a long time since he chatted with these two treasures.

By the way, I don't know how the panels of these two guys have changed, and whether their cultivation techniques have improved.

For the core supreme technique of the Ziyun Peak, the "Imperial World Sutra of Heavenly Treasures," he was still very hot-eyed.

You have to know that since he started practicing, his defense had slowly fallen behind.

It needed to be made up as soon as possible.

Thinking of this...

Meng Zhangqing opened the Eye of Investigation.
