Chapter 543: Mo Hongyun's Request, Desire Supreme Elder
Chapter 543: Mo Hongyun's Request, Desire Supreme Elder
"The Realm-Breaking Teleportation Array in Heavenheart City is only for you outsiders to use.
In truth, the Thirty-Six Superior Clans and other top-tier sects and forces have their own arrays for traveling to the Tianyuan Grand World.
However, Little Cang World is just a small realm with limited resources.
Most forces capable of setting up a Realm-Breaking Teleportation Array aren't very interested here.
Even those who are interested usually only send a few secondary members to manage things.
For instance, the Heavenly Insight Shop is actually a business under the name of a direct-line lady from the Gongshu Family.
So not every force has a teleportation array set up in Little Cang World."
As the Canglan City Lord explained, Lu Qing's eyes gradually brightened.
"Then, City Lord, does your Nangong Family...?"
Meeting Lu Qing's somewhat hopeful gaze, the Canglan City Lord smiled and nodded.
"Indeed, our Nangong Family has a small teleportation array in Little Cang World, right here in Canglan City.
When I came down from the upper realm, I used that array."
This made Lu Qing truly surprised: "Then, may I, a junior, borrow that array to enter the Tianyuan Grand World?"
He finally understood why the other party, knowing the Gongshu Family was about to descend, remained unperturbed and unbothered.
It turned out they had a fallback to return to the upper realm at any time.
He also understood what Mo Hongyun had meant by other ways to enter the Tianyuan Grand World.
It must have referred to this.
"Of course, Daoist Lu has done me a great favor.
If it weren't for you blocking Gongshu Yu, I would have been killed and my Soul Spirit extracted.
However, Daoist Lu, although Gongshu Yu was ultimately slain by me,
many people in the city witnessed your battle with Gongshu Yu.
While the karma of slaying Gongshu Yu falls on me,
it won't be difficult for the Gongshu Family to trace you.
In this situation, do you still wish to enter the Tianyuan Grand World?"
"City Lord, are you worried about my safety after I enter the upper realm?" Lu Qing smiled. "Please rest assured. I have some confidence in my ability to hide my tracks.
Since the karma of slaying Gongshu Yu is not on me, it won't be easy for the Gongshu Family to find me."
The Canglan City Lord was momentarily stunned, then he recalled Lu Qing's true cultivation level, which even he couldn't discern, and understood.
It seemed his guess was correct. Lu Qing must have some extraordinary treasure that can conceal his aura, making it impossible for others to track him.
"Since Daoist Lu is so confident, I won't interfere further. When do you want to leave?"
"The sooner, the better", Lu Qing replied immediately.
He knew his own capabilities. Everyone assumed he had some formidable background.
Only he was clear about his true strength.
If he were to face a top-tier family like the Gongshu Family, it would be like a moth flying into a flame.
So, it was best to leave as soon as possible.
The Canglan City Lord pondered for a moment: "Since that's the case, please wait a bit. Activating the teleportation array requires a significant amount of mana. In my current state, it would be quite a strain.
If you can wait until tomorrow morning, when my injuries have healed somewhat, I will send you up. Is that acceptable?"
"Everything is up to you, City Lord."
Lu Qing naturally had no objections and readily agreed.
They continued to chat for a while.
Lu Qing took the opportunity to ask the Canglan City Lord some cultivation questions.
This was the first time he had interacted closely with a Soul Spirit expert, so he seized the chance to learn.
The Canglan City Lord, of course, answered all his questions with great care.
However, as he answered, he was secretly amazed.
Many of Lu Qing's questions were profound, touching on the realms of the Primordial Soul.
Even answering them was quite challenging for him.
As Lu Qing's questions gradually delved into the laws of space, the Canglan City Lord's forehead began to sweat.
Fortunately, a voice interrupted their conversation at that moment.
"Uncle!"
It was Mo Hongyun, who had finally finished dealing with the Treasure Tower and arrived at the City Lord's residence.
"Red Yun, you're here."
The Canglan City Lord heaved a sigh of relief and quickly stood up.
"Listening to City Lord's words is better than a decade of secluded cultivation. City Lord, I will definitely seek your guidance again when I have the chance."
Lu Qing said, somewhat reluctantly.
He had indeed gained a lot from this session.
Although he had special abilities that made it easy for him to comprehend gongfa and techniques, and he could grasp them quickly,
he knew that a different perspective could also be valuable.
Every expert who has achieved the Soul Spirit realm has an extremely deep understanding of the path of cultivation. For Lu Qing, the opportunity to learn from their experiences is immensely beneficial.
However, when the Canglan City Lord heard this, his expression stiffened.
He then forced a smile and said, "That’s easy, that’s easy."
But he had already made up his mind to send Lu Qing to the Upper Realm as soon as his cultivation recovered a bit tomorrow morning.
If he continued to let this young fellow ask questions, he might really expose his true self.
After all, the questions Lu Qing was asking were becoming increasingly profound.
Later on, they even delved into the laws of space.
This was a domain that only the greatest experts who had advanced far in the Soul Spirit realm could explore.
He was merely at the First Tribulation of the Soul Spirit realm, so how could he possibly answer?
Worse still, his intuition told him that Lu Qing's questions were not casual or impulsive.
Lu Qing truly had some insight into the path of space, and his questions hit the core.
"Exactly what kind of prodigy is this young fellow Lu?" the Canglan City Lord couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
He was even more convinced that Lu Qing’s lineage and background must be astonishing.
Otherwise, how could someone at the Core Formation realm possibly have any understanding of the laws of space?
It must be that his master had mentioned it during his teachings.
From this, it was clear that Lu Qing’s master was also an unparalleled expert who had comprehended the laws of space.
"Uncle, what were you and Fellow Daoist Lu talking about just now?"
Mo Hongyun, who had just arrived, asked with some curiosity.
"Nothing much. I was just asking the City Lord for some guidance on cultivation. The City Lord, being a great cultivator, provided me with invaluable insights that greatly benefited me", Lu Qing praised.
"Fellow Daoist Lu is too kind."
The Canglan City Lord, having nothing else to say, could only continue to smile.
"I see."
Mo Hongyun, seeing that it was a matter of cultivation, did not ask further.
She took out a storage bag and handed it to Lu Qing: "Fellow Daoist Lu, this is for you."
"What is this?" Lu Qing asked, taking the storage bag with some confusion.
"It’s the storage bag that Qiu Rong was carrying. Since you captured him, the spoils of war naturally belong to you."
"That doesn’t seem quite right. He’s a valuator from the Treasure Tower; the items should go back to the Treasure Tower", Lu Qing said.
"I don’t want that traitor’s things. Besides, the Treasure Tower doesn’t lack for such items. Fellow Daoist Lu, you should take it."
Mo Hongyun’s face was filled with disgust.
Lu Qing, seeing this, could only say, "Then I will not decline."
With that, he put the storage bag away.
However, in front of the two of them, he did not immediately check what was inside.
Seeing Lu Qing take the items, Mo Hongyun’s face broke into a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, now that Canglan City is no longer safe, what are your plans?"
"I intend to leave Little Cang World and venture into the Tianyuan Grand World for some trials and tribulations", Lu Qing replied.
"You’re going to enter the Tianyuan Grand World?" Mo Hongyun was surprised.
After all, Lu Qing had just killed Gongshu Yu.
Although the final blow was delivered by her uncle, the scene of Lu Qing blasting Gongshu Yu into the sky and tormenting him had been witnessed by countless cultivators.
Given the Gongshu Family’s resources, it wouldn’t be difficult to uncover the truth; it was only a matter of time.
In this situation, Lu Qing still wanted to enter the Tianyuan Grand World?
Was he not afraid of being hunted down by the entire Gongshu Family?
Mo Hongyun voiced her concerns.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, I have some experience in concealing one’s aura. The Tianyuan Grand World is vast, and it won’t be easy for the Gongshu Family to find me", Lu Qing said with a smile.
Seeing that Lu Qing was determined to enter the Tianyuan Grand World, Mo Hongyun fell silent.
"Mo Hongyun, what's wrong?"
The Canglan City Lord noticed her expression and immediately asked.
Mo Hongyun was silent for a moment, her face showing a struggle. Finally, she bit her lip and said to Lu Qing, "Fellow Daoist Lu, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Hmm? I wonder what I can do to help you, Fellow Daoist?"
Lu Qing raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
He had a premonition that what Mo Hongyun was about to ask was not simple.
Otherwise, why would she not seek help from her doting uncle, who was at the Primordial Soul realm, and instead come to him?
This was clearly unusual.
"I don’t know if you can help me, but my secret cultivation technique tells me that you are the one most likely to be able to help me."
"Secret cultivation technique?"
Lu Qing recalled the information revealed by his ability when he first met Mo Hongyun, mentioning her possession of the Fate Power.
Even the City Lord of Canglan seemed to be taken aback, as if he had just realized something. "Hongyun, could it be that..."
"The secret technique I cultivate, or rather, my innate power, is one that can predict the future and sense the path of destiny."
Mo Hongyun explained.
"A power that can sense the path of destiny?" Lu Qing's face showed surprise.
"Exactly. It is said that this power originates from the depths of the Mo family's bloodline. However, in recent millennia, very few descendants of the Mo family have been able to awaken this innate power."
"Then this should be a good thing, right? Why are you so troubled, Lady?" Lu Qing was puzzled.
At this, the City Lord of Canglan exclaimed with joy, "Hongyun, you've awakened the Fate Power! Why didn't you tell me?"
"What good would it do to tell you, Uncle? Have you forgotten how your Nangong family treated my parents back then?" Mo Hongyun retorted with a cold laugh.
The City Lord of Canglan was momentarily speechless.
Seeing this, Lu Qing understood that there must be a lot of backstory here.
After scolding her uncle, Mo Hongyun continued, "Apart from the Fate Power, I also awakened another constitution, the Mystic Yin Jade Body."
"Mystic Yin Jade Body!"
The City Lord of Canglan was startled once more, but he dared not speak further when Mo Hongyun looked at him.
"What is the Mystic Yin Jade Body?" Lu Qing asked.
"The Mystic Yin Jade Body, as legend has it, is an excellent constitution for a furnace. Women with this constitution not only have exceptional talent for cultivation but, if they practice certain techniques, can become ideal partners for dual cultivation. Some vicious techniques can even transform these women into perfect furnaces, turning them into the ultimate elixirs. Once these techniques are mastered, the practitioner can easily take away the woman's purity, cultivation, and even her magical powers."
Lu Qing's heart trembled at this. The information he had uncovered about Mo Hongyun's Mystic Yin Jade Body only mentioned that it was an excellent constitution for cultivating yin-based techniques, but it did not mention these cruel dual cultivation methods.
It seemed that while the Mystic Yin Jade Body was indeed a powerful innate constitution, some people had turned it into a curse.
"When I first awakened the Mystic Yin Jade Body, my parents were very alarmed. They knew that once my Mystic Yin Jade Body was discovered, many people would covet it. Therefore, they always warned me never to reveal this secret to anyone. I have always remembered their teachings and have never disclosed this information to anyone. Even the awakening of my Fate Power, I have kept hidden. My goal was to minimize my presence within the clan and avoid drawing attention to myself. I silently cultivated, hoping to reach the Primordial Soul Realm one day. It is said that once the Mystic Yin Jade Body reaches the Primordial Soul Realm, one can control it at will and no longer need to fear others' covetous eyes."
Mo Hongyun continued, "I lived a very peaceful life in the Mo family, thanks to my parents' concealment. No one ever discovered my secret. But later, due to some events, my parents suddenly passed away."
As Mo Hongyun spoke, Lu Qing noticed that the City Lord of Canglan's body trembled, and his face showed an unnatural expression. Lu Qing understood that the tension between them was likely related to this event.
Mo Hongyun, of course, saw the change in her uncle but paid no attention to it. She continued, "After my parents passed away, I needed to take over some responsibilities to stay in the Mo family. I could no longer hide in the depths of our home. I began to manage the businesses left by my parents. Initially, there were no issues, as I had already reached the Core Formation Realm and was considered a minor expert in the Mo family. However, during a birthday banquet for a Soul Spirit expert, despite my best defenses, someone recognized my Mystic Yin Jade Body."
"Who was it?" the City Lord of Canglan couldn't help but ask.
Mo Hongyun looked at him and slowly replied, "His name is Desire Supreme Elder, a Grand Elder of the Joy Sect."
"What, Desire Supreme Elder?!"
Hearing this name, the City Lord of Canglan was completely shaken, his face showing shock and fear.
