The Tao is far away

While they were talking, a beam of light suddenly landed not far away, causing a cloud of sand to fly.

As the light faded, two figures, a man and a woman, walked out.

The man was tall, with a short beard, and wore a blue robe that swayed gently in the wind.

The woman next to her looked very young, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a slender body, graceful curves, and a devilish figure. She had a fairy-like face, and long black hair cascading down like a waterfall. Her tall figure was wrapped in a black palace dress, and she looked like a deity from heaven who had descended to earth.

Upon seeing this, the Wan brothers hurriedly pulled Wang Chi to salute the two monks in front of them.

They knew that only cultivators at least at the Jindan stage could control the escape light.

Wang Chi did as he was told, utmost respectfully. He remembered Situ once saying that some cultivators had strange temperaments, and if one was not careful one might cause dissatisfaction from the other party, or even bring about fatal disaster.

The man did not seem to notice the presence of the three people. He turned to the woman beside him and said, "Xiao Yu, you just wait here for the Order Seizing Conference to begin. You just need to go through the process. Your master has important matters to attend to. Take this opportunity to learn more about the situation in the world of immortal cultivation. It would be best if you could find a few fellow cultivators."

The woman responded softly, her voice clear and pleasant: "Yes, Master!"

Then, the man took out a green token with the word "qin" engraved on it, handed it to the woman, and said, "Take this token. I believe that no one in this world dares to offend me, Taoist Tianqin."

The Wan brothers were extremely shocked when they heard the name "Tianqin Taoist" - this person was actually one of the elders of Tianji Sect, and had already been famous in the world of immortal cultivation.

Wang Chi lowered his head, feeling a little strange. He didn't understand why the other party would reveal such inside information. Did he regard the three of them as insignificant ants?

As soon as Tianqin Taoist finished speaking, he turned into a ray of light, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the clouds.

At this time, Wang Chi raised his head and happened to meet the eyes of the woman in front of him. Both of them showed surprised expressions.

The woman couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's you!"

Wang Chi was confused and felt that he did not know the woman in front of him, but when he looked closely, he felt that the woman seemed familiar, especially her bright big eyes. Where had he seen her before?

Suddenly, Wang Chi realized: "Damn, a female killer!"

Wang Chi finally remembered who the woman in front of him was. They had once fought each other in the capital.

"What? You still want to kill me?" Wang Chi said coldly, with a hint of vigilance in his voice.

The Wan brothers looked at each other, shocked that Wang Chi actually had a grudge against Tianqin Taoist's disciples, which made them subconsciously take a step back.

The woman, Xu Qianyu, said calmly: "It's all misunderstanding!" Her voice was cold and without much emotional fluctuation.

The Wan brothers heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. Wan Ye hurriedly introduced, "It's a misunderstanding. My fellow Taoist, I'm Wan Ye, and this is my younger brother Wan Lin."

Xu Qianyu nodded without revealing much emotion, and simply gave her name: "Xu Qianyu."

Then he turned his head and his eyes fell on Wang Chi.

Wang Chi frowned slightly, but still gave his name: "Wang Chi."

Xu Qianyu frowned slightly. Isn’t the person on the assassination order Wang Buchi?

At this time, a formation gate nearby slowly rose up, emitting a hint of blue light.

"Fellow Daoists, please come in. That's Lingyuan where the Order-Seizing Conference is being held." Wan Lin said.

Wang Chi nodded, then looked at Xu Qianyu with fear.

Wang Chi walked at the end of the four people and followed the three of them through the blue light curtain. Before Wang Chi could see the details inside clearly, they appeared in a square in the blink of an eye.

This is a circular square. Except for the open space in the middle, there are various buildings around it.

Looking up, there is a huge floating tower, with huge rocks floating around it and iron chains tied to it. Above it is a transparent and colorless dome, and this world is all under this dome.

Because the time has not yet come, there are few people in the square at this moment.

Wang Chi looked at the various sea creatures he had never seen before outside the dome, and his mouth opened into an "O" shape.

The same was true for Xu Qianyu. Although her expression was not as exaggerated as Wang Chi's, her eyes were full of shock.

What a power this is!

Seeing this, the Wan brothers looked at each other and smiled, as if recalling the equally shocked scene when they first came here.

Wang Chi quickly suppressed the shock on his face and turned to ask the two: "Daoyou, who built this dome? It has such great power!"

Wan Lin explained: "This Lingyuan was jointly built by the six sects of the Southern Kingdom. Look, the beam of light on the top of the tower is the core of the formation. As long as there is no Nascent Soul level cultivator taking action, this Lingyuan is absolutely safe."

After listening to this, Wang Chi nodded thoughtfully, secretly marveling at the mystery and power of this formation.

Suddenly, the Wan brothers whispered to Wang Chi and Xu Qianyu: "Two fellow Taoists, look here, the enemies of our Wan family are here. Although fighting is not allowed here, we still don't want to have contact with these disgusting things." After saying that, the two of them quietly found a shop and went in.

Wang Chi didn't want to know about those family grudges, so he nodded.

Wang Chi looked at Xu Qianyu: "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a while, you have transformed from a mortal killer into an immortal cultivator, and even reached the second level of Qi Refining!"

Xu Qianyu smiled coldly and said, "This is all thanks to Daoist friend's spirit-testing talisman!"

When Wang Chi heard this, he rolled his eyes in his heart. If I wasn’t in a bad mood at that time, would I have thrown the wrong talisman?

"So what spiritual roots were detected?"

"Single Ice Attribute Spiritual Root"

Wang Chi: “…”

Wang Chi turned and left, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He was shocked, but more regretful.

Wang Chi thought of Wang Buyan. If she also had spiritual roots, perhaps they could embark on the path of cultivating immortals together and see this amazing underwater world together.

The spirit-testing talisman in Wang Chi's hand can be used three times in total. The first time, Wang Chi used it blindly without knowing the details; the second time, he used it to test Wang Buyan's spiritual roots, and the result was naturally no reaction; the third time, he used it on the female killer in front of him not long ago by accident.

Why was it that in these three opportunities, the existence of spiritual roots was detected twice, but the person he cared about did not have it?

These ridiculous questions lingering in his mind made even Wang Chi himself shake his head involuntarily.

Wang Chi knew that a spirit was one in a million, so how could everyone possess it?

Wang Chi was not in the mood to stroll around Lingyuan now. He slowly walked to a corner of the square, which was an inn.

"Let's wait for the Order Seizing Conference to start in a month, and use the internal entry order to join the Tianji Sect. By the way, Xu Qianyu is also going to the Tianji Sect, so it's true that enemies will always meet!"
