Quick Travel: Destiny for Thirty Lifetimes

Atop a towering mountain, shrouded in a celestial aura, stood a figure dressed in a turquoise-blue robe, a silver ribbon tied around his waist. He stood with his hands behind his back, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, his gaze deep as he gazed into the distance, as if comprehending some truth. His expression was calm and composed, as if he could ascend to the immortal realm at any moment.

Lian Qingyang stood for a long time, stretched out his hand to draw a barrier, and then sat down on the ground. Then he supported himself with one hand and pounded his shoulders and neck with the other hand, and called out Xiaojiu.

"What kind of a hellish place is this? There are no people and no birds. Xiaojiu, please pass on the plot and memories to me first."

A black kitten slowly appeared on the open ground next to him. It licked its paws and meowed at Lian Qingyang.

Lian Qingyang simply conjured up a bed and lay on it, half-closing his eyes to absorb the plot conveyed by Xiaojiu.

This world is a world of immortal cultivation, divided into three main groups: common people, immortal cultivators, and demons. Legend has it that immortals and demons have existed side by side since ancient times, viewing each other as mortal enemies for millennia. Whenever they met, battle ensued. It wasn't until five hundred years ago, when the founder of the Guiyuan Sect, who was supposed to ascend to immortality, sacrificed himself to suppress the demon king in the Soul-Breaking Abyss, resulting in heavy losses for both sides, that the superficial friction between the two sides subsided. The Guiyuan Sect, due to its greatest contributions, earned the respect and admiration of many. As a result, it began recruiting disciples and gradually expanded its ranks, becoming the foremost sect in the world of immortal cultivation.

Lian Qingyang was among the first group of disciples to be accepted. He was originally a child from an ordinary family. Due to his poor family background, he had two older brothers, a younger brother and a younger sister. As the least favored child in the family, when he was wearing tattered clothes to pick up food thrown away by others, he met Zhikong Taoist, the leader of Guiyuan Sect, who was going down the mountain to do business.

The realm of immortal cultivators is divided into Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Core Formation Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Spirit Transformation Stage, Void Refining Stage, Fusion Stage and Mahayana Stage. Once one enters the True Immortal Stage, one can immediately ascend to become an immortal. However, as spiritual energy gradually becomes scarcer, it becomes increasingly difficult to ascend to higher realms. From the Nascent Soul Stage to the Spirit Transformation Stage is a hurdle, and from the Spirit Transformation Stage to the Void Refining Stage is another hurdle. Therefore, there are very few immortal cultivators in the Void Refining Stage, and until now they are generally considered to be at the level of sect ancestors.

Taoist Zhikong is the direct disciple of the ancestor of Guiyuan Sect. He is gifted and has great magical powers. Since the ancestor passed away, he has been more diligent in practicing and was already in the Refining Void Stage. This is one of the reasons why many people choose Guiyuan Sect.

On his way back to the sect after finishing his business in the mountain, the Taoist priest met a little beggar. He was impressed by the beggar's aptitude at first sight and brought him back to Guiyuan Sect to teach him personally. Lian Qingyang only found out later that his master had treated him as an orphan. After he explained to his master that he had parents, the Taoist priest was very surprised and said, "At that time, I saw that your parents were not very well-off, and I knew that you had a shallow fate with them. In addition, you have excellent aptitude, so I brought you back to become my disciple. Before I left, I found your parents and helped them realize a wish, which severed the cause and effect between you." The name Lian Qingyang was given by Taoist priest Zhikong after the cause and effect were severed.

Lian Qingyang's talent is indeed good, and he has a top-grade mutated ice spirit root. He practices hard with Taoist Zhikong and has achieved obvious results. In addition, his fellow disciples who traveled abroad also dote on him and stuffed all the rare treasures they brought back into his possession to help him practice.

Taoist Zhikong has five direct disciples. The eldest disciple, Lian Jinfei, is a sword cultivator, responsible for inheriting the master's teachings, and is very steady and gentle; the second disciple, Lian Leli, has a top-grade fire spiritual root, has a carefree personality, and likes to run outside the most; the third disciple, Lian Zhicheng, gave up his good top-grade wood spiritual root and insisted on following the eldest brother's footsteps to learn sword cultivation. He looks dull, but when he wields the sword, he is full of vigor and momentum, which is completely different from his usual self; the fifth disciple, Lian Ziye, has the most powerful top-grade heavenly spiritual root, but he has a child's heart. On weekdays, he is closest to Lian Qingyang, even if Lian Qingyang ignores him.

As for the fourth disciple, it was Lian Qingyang. Due to his childhood experiences and the magic he practiced, he had a cold and introverted personality. He only knew how to practice. Zhikong Taoist thought that this was the disciple that he should be least worried about. However, this disciple who made him least worried later did the most rebellious thing.

His disciple had accidentally received a unique disciple, the son of the powerful demon king of the demon clan. Even though Qingyang was a free-range disciple, the child's cultivation was incredibly rapid, but the demonic energy within him gradually intensified as his cultivation level rose. Originally, the master and disciple were at Qingli Peak, uninterrupted, cultivating independently, and for a while, they were unnoticed by the other disciples.

After that, the child was ruthlessly driven out of Guiyuan Sect by Lian Qingyang without even having a chance to explain. The master and disciple met again when the child became a demon king and attacked Guiyuan Sect. When the two sides met, they became irreconcilable enemies. The war that happened a hundred years ago was repeated. When Lian Qingyang sacrificed himself and died together with the demon king, the child showed a pure smile for the first time in a long time, and said only one sentence: It is a blessing in this life to be able to sleep with Master.

As early as two hundred years ago, Taoist Zhikong, who had cultivated to the end of the fusion stage, resigned from his position as the sect leader and went out to travel around the world. He personally taught and raised his five disciples, spending a lot of time and energy on it. He thought that he should go out and travel well to broaden his horizons and improve his cultivation.

As a result, the position of the leader of Guiyuan Sect was taken over by Lian Qingyang's eldest senior brother Lian Jinfei, and the residences of the other four junior brothers were divided into four mountains in Guiyuan Sect. The mountain where Lian Qingyang was located was named Qingli Peak, and he was also called Qingli God.

After a while, a secret realm in the world of immortal cultivation will be opened. Disciples from various sects below the Nascent Soul stage can go there for trials. If they are lucky, they may get some rare treasures or inheritance.

As a big brother in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, it was not Lian Qingyang's turn to lead the team in this matter. However, Lian Jinfei had obviously considered more. Since he became the sect leader, his other junior brothers had at least two or three direct disciples, while his introverted fourth junior brother was still practicing alone in Qingli Peak. Eight out of ten times, the disciples who delivered supplies encountered Lian Qingyang in seclusion, and the supplies were still piled up outside the cave, so they simply stopped delivering them.

Therefore, not long ago, Lian Qingyang was called by Lian Jinfei to the main peak to discuss this matter. Lian Qingyang was usually taken care of by his senior brother. Although he had a cold personality, he was also simple. He remembered the kindness others had shown him, so he nodded and agreed to his senior brother's request.

When Lian Qingyang opened his eyes, he was standing on the top of Qingli Peak and looking into the distance. He was not used to the cold ground, nor was he used to the mountain where there was no one else except him. After taking in the plot and memories, he waved his hand, and the originally deserted and misty peak became a little warmer. He turned over in bed and calculated the day of departure, which was just three days later.

"Oh, I have to go to work and take the kids on an outing again."
