"Is this the Tianyuan Great World?"
Lu Qing sensed his surroundings, and then he was stunned.
At this moment, they should be in a valley.
Everywhere you look, there are birds singing and flowers blooming, and the air is thick with the scent of wood.
As far as the eye could see, many of the plants were unfamiliar to Lu Qing.
However, he could tell that these plants had all reached the level of spiritual materials.
If placed in their home world, it would be considered a precious medicine by those at the Acquired and Innate realms.
Some of them are of quite high quality, and judging from the medicinal aura they emit, they would likely be of considerable benefit even to those at the Golden Core stage.
What shocked him even more was the spiritual energy in the surrounding world.
Not only is it incredibly rich, but its quality is also astonishingly high.
"The quality of the spiritual energy in this Tianyuan Great World alone is almost on par with the spiritual essence of a low-grade spirit stone?"
Lu Qing was deeply shocked.
What shocked him even more was that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth possessed a certain inexplicable and mysterious quality.
That's something that neither my hometown nor Xiaocangjie has.
But it was precisely this mysterious quality that made Lu Qing intuitively sense it.
For a long time to come, I will no longer need to worry about spiritual energy.
"No wonder those cultivators from outside the world are willing to pay high teleportation fees to enter the Tianyuan Great World."
The sheer density of spiritual energy here is enough to justify the effort of cultivating here.
Not to mention, this Tianyuan Great World contains all sorts of profound opportunities; if you're lucky enough to obtain even a little bit, you'll be rolling in money.
A sudden realization dawned on Lu Qing.
It truly is a vast and incredible world.
Having just arrived and only glimpsed a few faces, he already sensed the wonder of this world.
"Young Fellow Daoist Lu, this place is called Hundred Flowers Valley, which is one of the places where my Nangong family cultivates medicinal herbs."
"Lord of Canglan City, no, it should be Nangong Yuanwu who said this at this moment."
"Hundred Flowers Valley, no wonder the wood energy here is so strong and spiritual plants are everywhere."
Lu Qing suddenly realized.
He said that even in the Tianyuan Great World, it was too exaggerated for the spiritual plants in a valley to be of such high quality, with high-grade spiritual herbs and medicines everywhere.
If it's a precious land specifically used by the Nangong family to cultivate spiritual herbs, then it's much more normal.
"Who goes there! How dare you trespass into the Nangong family's Hundred Flowers Valley?"
Just then, a loud shout came, followed by a figure flying in from outside.
Holding a long sword, exuding an imposing aura, he was clearly a powerful expert in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.
"It's me."
Nangong Yuanwu said calmly.
"So it's Uncle Yuanwu. I thought some scoundrel had sneaked in to steal herbs."
Upon seeing Nangong Yuanwu, the Golden Core cultivator immediately concealed his aura and bowed in respect.
After bowing, he became somewhat curious.
"But Uncle Yuanwu, weren't you cultivating in seclusion in the Lesser Cang Realm of the lower realm? How come you have time to come back?"
"I recently went into seclusion and made some breakthroughs. Now that I've been in a state of deep meditation, I'd like to come back and take a look."
"Uncle Yuanwu has broken through?" The Golden Core cultivator was both surprised and delighted.
To his surprise, he knew that the reason why Uncle Yuanwu had descended to the mortal realm was because his primordial spirit was about to undergo a tribulation, and he was not confident that he could overcome it.
Adding to the troubles of some matters within the clan, he chose to go to Xiaocang Realm for quiet cultivation.
Unexpectedly, when I returned, I had already broken through to the next level.
The good news is that after Uncle Yuanwu's breakthrough, their Nangong family gained another first-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, further deepening the family's foundation.
They have a better chance of winning the next ranking competition among the thirty-six elite families.
Thinking of this, the Golden Core cultivator immediately offered his congratulations: "Congratulations, Uncle Yuanwu, on successfully transcending your tribulation! Your lifespan has greatly increased!"
"Alright, stop flattering me. You can go now. I'll be heading back to my clan soon."
Nangong Yuanwu waved his hand and said.
"yes."
The Golden Core cultivator bowed respectfully and then withdrew.
He naturally saw Lu Qing and Mo Hongyun as well, and felt a little curious.
However, since Nangong Yuanwu did not bring it up, he dared not ask.
Since the person was brought by Uncle Yuanwu, there shouldn't be any problems.
"Young Fellow Daoist Lu, what are your plans for the future? Why don't you come and visit my Nangong family?"
"A young talent like you, a peerless genius, would surely be greatly admired by my ancestors."
After the Golden Core cultivator left, Nangong Yuanwu asked Lu Qing.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Lord City Lord. However, as a newcomer to this Tianyuan Great World, I would like to travel around and broaden my horizons first."
When I have time in the future, I will definitely visit the Nangong family and give the City Lord a visit.
Lu Qing politely declined.
He has many secrets, and he doesn't want to appear casually in front of those top-tier Nascent Soul experts.
If the other party gets interested and wants to study him, he will have no way to resist.
"Oh, that's a real shame."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yuanwu did not press the matter, but could only express his regret.
"By the way, Lord City Lord, aren't you afraid that by leaving Canglan City like this, the Gongshu family and Venerable Miaoyu might release the people from Black Stone Prison and vent their anger on the citizens of Canglan City?"
At this moment, Lu Qing remembered a question and asked it.
"Don't worry about that, Fellow Daoist Lu," Nangong Yuanwu said with a smile.
"Only I know how to open the Black Stone Prison."
If you try to break it by force, it will cause the magic circle to explode, and everyone inside will perish.
As for venting his anger by massacring the citizens of Canglan City.
This is a grave taboo. If the Gongshu family really dares to do such an outrageous thing...
I will definitely file a complaint with the Holy Alliance, even if the Gongshu family is one of the thirty-six superior clans.
They will definitely suffer the consequences and be punished.
"The Holy Alliance?" Lu Qing's heart skipped a beat when he heard this word. "May I ask, Lord City Lord, what exactly is this Holy Alliance?"
"Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you, Fellow Daoist Lu, now that you've come to the Tianyuan Great World, there are some rules you still need to know."
Otherwise, if you break a taboo, you'll be in trouble.
"Nangong Yuanwu said."
"I will heed your words," Lu Qing said.
"Actually, in the Tianyuan Great World, there aren't many rules that cultivators have to follow. The most important ones are two."
First, innocent people must not be killed indiscriminately. Fights between cultivators are acceptable, but they must not involve too many civilians.
In particular, powerful cultivators of high cultivation levels should not take advantage of their superior abilities to indiscriminately slaughter lower-level cultivators.
If anyone dares to act recklessly, the Holy Alliance will take action to capture and punish them once discovered.
The second rule is that one must not collude with the demon race.
This second point is the most important compared to the first one.
If someone is found to be colluding with the demons, it is a grave crime.
At best, their souls will be extracted and imprisoned in a soul prison to suffer the torments of purgatory.
In severe cases, they are directly killed, their bodies and souls destroyed, their spirits extinguished, and they are not even qualified for reincarnation.
As for the Holy Alliance, it is an alliance formed by many righteous forces in our Tianyuan Great World to fight against the Demon Race.
The Holy Alliance does not usually interfere in the affairs of various sects and powerful families.
However, if any cultivator dares to violate the above two rules, the Holy Alliance will take action.
By then, only the most powerful individuals who have a profound understanding of the Dao of Space and have mastered the divine power of breaking through boundaries and teleporting will be able to participate.
Otherwise, they would certainly be unable to resist the Holy Alliance's capture.
Therefore, young master Lu, please remember these two points during your travels.
"This junior will keep in mind the Lord's teachings."
After listening to Nangong Yuanwu's words, Lu Qing felt a strange sense of familiarity.
The Holy Alliance of this Tianyuan Great World is quite similar to the Holy Mountain of my home world.
However, in the world of parents, there isn't such a large demonic force to fight against.
The primary responsibility of the Holy Mountain is to restrain powerful cultivators from persecuting the weak.
However, he was quite happy to abide by these two rules.
Although he was not from this world, he did not like to bully the weak.
They were indifferent to the demonic forces and had no intention of colluding with them.
After all, his Fire Cauldron contained a wisp of a demon cultivator's soul, so he knew what kind of person the other party was.
"And Fellow Daoist Lu, you not only saved our lives this time."
He also helped Hongyun break free from the 【Joyful Heart-Eating Curse】, freeing her from the control of the Venerable Desire.
I don't have a very good thank-you gift for you.
Hongyun said you like spirit stones. This storage ring contains some spirit stones I've accumulated over the years; please accept them.
After saying that, Nangong Yuanwu took out an antique ring and handed it to Lu Qing.
“Lord City Lord, how could you!” Lu Qing waved his hands repeatedly. “You’ve already done me a great favor by bringing me up here. How could I possibly accept anything from you?”
"Young Fellow Daoist Lu, there's no need for such politeness."
However, Nangong Yuanwu simply tossed the storage ring over.
"The debt of saving your life is greater than the heavens. How can I repay such a small favor as bringing you to the Upper Realm? It's just a little spirit stone. Please accept it, Fellow Daoist Lu."
Lu Qing took the storage ring and saw that Nangong Yuanwu's attitude was resolute.
He could only say, "Then this junior will shamelessly accept it."
After putting away the storage ring, Lu Qing bowed to Nangong Yuanwu and Mo Hongyun.
“Lord of the City, Lord of the Tower, now that we have safely arrived in the Upper Realm, it is time for Lu Qing to take his leave.”
"Is Fellow Daoist Lu leaving already?" Mo Hongyun asked.
"Indeed, it's a rare opportunity to come to this Tianyuan Great World. I'd like to explore it thoroughly, so I won't stay any longer."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you have offended the Gongshu family and Venerable Miaoyu in order to help me. Please be careful during your travels."
Mo Hongyun gave him some worried instructions.
"I will be careful to conceal my identity. If you are leaving the Tianyuan Great World, please take good care of yourself."
Do not let the talisman I gave you leave your side.
With it, it will be easier for you to hide your identity.
“I will always carry it with me.” Mo Hongyun nodded earnestly.
"Then, Lord of the City, I shall take my leave."
"Take care on your journey, Fellow Daoist Lu. I await your arrival at the Nangong family." Nangong Yuanwu said.
Lu Qing nodded slightly, then transformed into a stream of light, carrying Xiao Li and Wu Xing, and soared into the sky, flying out of Hundred Flowers Valley.
Meanwhile, the Nangong family's collateral branch members who were stationed in Hundred Flowers Valley had already received a message from Nangong Yuanwu.
No one stopped Lu Qing, and they let him leave.
Mo Hongyun stood still, quietly watching the direction Lu Qing had left, without moving for a long time.
Seeing this scene, Nangong Yuanwu sighed inwardly.
He could tell that after all that Hongyun had gone through, she probably had different feelings for Fellow Daoist Lu.
But he could also see that this young fellow Daoist Lu was a prodigy with an unwavering heart for the Dao.
They probably didn't have any lustful thoughts at all.
Hongyun's feelings will likely end in vain, receiving no response.
Moreover, he had a strange feeling about him.
Fellow Daoist Lu's journey this time will likely stir up quite a storm in the Tianyuan Great World.
"Hongyun, where do you want to go next?"
"Anywhere is fine, as long as I can leave the Tianyuan Great World."
I also wish to travel around like Fellow Daoist Lu, broaden my horizons, and cultivate diligently along the way.
I've wasted too much time over the years.
Only by cultivating to the Nascent Soul Realm and fully mastering the Profound Yin Jade Body can I return to this Heavenly Origin Great World.
Mo Hongyun looked in the direction Lu Qing had left and said with a firm gaze.
"Alright, I'll arrange for you to go to the Guiyuan Great World. The cultivation conditions there are no worse than here."
With your talent, it probably won't be long before you break through.
“Alright, it will cost a lot to use a teleportation array that spans multiple worlds, so I’ll pay for these spirit stones myself.”
“Hongyun, you...”
...
With the help of Nangong Yuanwu, Mo Hongyun stepped onto the teleportation array heading to the Guiyuan Great World.
On the other side, after leaving Hundred Flowers Valley, Lu Qing transformed into a stream of light, randomly chose a direction, and flew away.
During the flight, he also experienced the difference between the big world and the small world.
"After leaving the Valley of a Hundred Flowers, the concentration of spiritual energy decreased considerably."
The first thing Lu Qing noticed was this change.
Of course, he wasn't surprised.
Since Hundred Flowers Valley is where the Nangong family cultivates spiritual herbs, it must be a treasure land in itself.
Furthermore, there must be a formation similar to a spirit-gathering array inside.
It's normal for the spiritual energy to be denser than outside.
Even outside, the concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding world is still quite remarkable.
It was in no way inferior to the cave dwelling he lived in when he was in the Treasure Pavilion.
More importantly, the quality of spiritual energy in this Tianyuan Great World is far superior to that in the Xiaocang Realm.
Moreover, this is only the spiritual energy scattered between heaven and earth, yet it is already so rich.
If it were those famous mountains and rivers, or blessed lands, I really couldn't imagine how abundant their spiritual energy would be, or to what extent.
Besides the spiritual energy, another intuitive feeling is...
Lu Qing discovered that the rules of heaven and earth in this Tianyuan Great World were far more powerful than those in the smaller worlds.
This also greatly reduced the speed at which he transformed into a streak of light compared to usual.
It's less than one-tenth of the original amount.
Of course, with the power of Lu Qing's perfect golden core, even at only one-tenth of the original flight speed...
To other Golden Core cultivators, it was still incredibly fast, comparable to their speed when wielding magical artifacts.
"I wonder what speed we would reach in this Tianyuan Great World if we activated the Void Flying Boat, and whether it could touch the speed limit of this world?"
A thought suddenly popped into Lu Qing's mind.
Of course, he only thought about it in his mind and did not put it into action.
The Void Flying Boat has a mysterious origin; it is a component of a legendary Dao artifact.
The cultivators in the small world have limited knowledge and may not recognize its origin.
However, this Tianyuan Great World is full of hidden talents and powerful figures, and its waters are extremely deep.
If he were to flaunt his Void Flying Boat everywhere, some mysterious powerhouse might discover its secrets and try to seize it.
That would be a real problem.
Therefore, Lu Qing had already made up his mind.
Unless it's a matter of life and death, he would never easily use the Void Flying Boat.
Lu Qing flew through the sky, constantly using his divine soul power to sense and adapt to the rules of this world.
Just as he passed through another layer of clouds, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
A chill rose in his heart.
He looked up abruptly and saw a strange bird flying rapidly toward him.
Those sharp claws, gleaming with a cold light, were reaching out to grab him.
