Volume 1 Chapter 001 Crossing the Void
"Yī ér, you've never been far from home since you were little. This time, you're going to a place so far away... When you arrive at Penglai Fairy Island, be sure to listen carefully to your master's words. Also, the world is full of dangers, don't have a heart that harms others, but also don't lack a heart that guards against others. Be careful and protect yourself well..." In the Zhen Nan Wang Fu, Zhen Nan Wang was meticulously reminding Qin Lui Yi while handing her a storage ring filled with everyday items.
Yesterday evening, Qin Luo Yi did not return for the whole night and only came back this morning, and it was even the Crown Prince who personally sent him back with a group of guards.
Chuyifeng had already heard about the assassination attempt on him this morning, because Luoyi happened to meet the crown prince and saved the lives of the crown prince and his guards. The emperor rewarded him with many precious things from the palace... He put them all in the storage ring he gave her just now.
Third Prince... He always knew he had ambitions, but didn't think that he would actually dare to put his ambitions into action and lay hands on his own elder brother. Fortunately, after Yī'ěr lost her memory, she completely forgot about him, and they even dissolved their engagement; otherwise, this matter would have been a headache for him!
As for where his daughter went last night, neither he nor Xie Ruyan asked. His daughter had grown up and had a very powerful master, no matter where she went, she was completely able to take care of herself and didn't need them to worry about her anymore, unlike before.
Xie Ruyan held her hand and also exhorted her repeatedly, with a face full of reluctance, and even a hint of tears flashing in her eyes.
Qin Luoyi saw their appearance and felt warm in her heart. She put away the storage ring, then opened her arms and gave them a big hug.
Xie Ru's eyes turned even redder.
Zhen Nan Wang Junyi's face flashed a hint of embarrassment, never expecting that his usually shy and introverted daughter would actually hug him. However, he quickly regained his composure, stretched out his hand to hug her back, and his stern face was filled with doting affection.
"Father, mother, don't worry, it won't be long before I return to visit you after I become stronger." Qin Luo's hands relaxed, and her bright face wore an absolutely beautiful smile, with an extremely confident expression.
"Alright, your mother is waiting for you at the Wang Manor..." Xie Ruyan heard this and stroked her face with a smile: "However, everything should be done within one's capabilities. This trip to Penglai, the journey is long, if you want to come back and see us, you must also do it within your capabilities, don't rush into things and put yourself in danger. Yier, remember, nothing is more important than your safety, you must come back safely."
Qin Tian wore a delicate, dark-colored brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist and a jade crown on his head. His entire being was elegant and handsome, like a celestial being from the ninth heaven. His eyes, which were gazing at his sister, shone brightly, and his face wore an exceptionally clear and refined smile.
"It's about time, sister should also set off, Ge Zhangmen is still waiting. He is sister's master, let him wait for too long, after all, it's not good." It has been a while, he looked at the three of them and they were still in a reluctant to part with each other, a hint of smile flashed in his eyes, so he spoke up.
Xie Ruyan thought about it and agreed that even if she was reluctant in her heart, she could only let go of her daughter. The King of Zhen Nan put his hands behind his back.
Qin Luo Yi walked up to her brother, slightly tilting her head as she looked at him. Suddenly, she blinked and a hint of a smile flashed in her eyes, before she pounced on him with a big bear hug.
The warm, soft jade suddenly entered his arms, and Qin Tian was completely stunned. The smile at the corner of his mouth stiffened, and he reflexively wanted to push her away. Seeing the smile on her face, he thought for a moment and finally gave up. Instead, he raised his hand and gently wrapped it around her shoulder, and a faint, pleasant scent drilled into his nostrils.
"Brother, from now on I won't be at home and can't take care of mom and dad, so it's all up to you...” Qin Luo Yi tightly hugged him, then quickly pulled back, her pretty face filled with a hint of sadness.
Qin Tian's eyes flashed, and he reached out to gently stroke her black hair, smiling as he said, "You can go with peace of mind, I'll be here at home." His voice was low and clear, like a gentle stream flowing through the heart.
Qin Luo sighed silently, thinking that her own brother was too devilishly handsome. Every gesture and movement of his was full of elegance and charm that couldn't be put into words. Over the years, he must have made countless girls lose their hearts and souls outside. If he weren't her own brother, even she would probably be enchanted by his charming and gentle appearance.
It was almost time for Qin Luo to leave the master, and even if she didn't want to, she had to wave goodbye to them and then turn around and rush out of the palace.
Not long after she left the palace, a tall and majestic white figure rode out of the palace on a fine horse, rushing straight to the Zhen Nan Wang Fu.
"Master, I'm here!"
It didn't take long for Qin Luoyi to rush to the outskirts of Beijing, where Jian's family had a villa. She rushed towards Ge Zhangmen, who was talking to Jian Yuyan, and smiled.
By their side, there were Qingyun and Qingfeng, the two masters of Juechen Valley, standing with their hands down. There was also Elder Yu of the Jian family, and beside him stood a middle-aged couple dressed in luxurious clothes, with elegant manners.
"Is this Miss Qin?" Seeing her come in, the middle-aged couple exchanged a glance and smiled as they came forward: "Miss Luo Yi, last time you saved our Yu Yan's life, we haven't had a chance to thank you in person yet."
Qin Luoyi suddenly understood that these two were Jian Yuyan's parents. Jian Yuyan's eyebrows and eyes resembled this middle-aged man very much. He smiled and said, "Uncle, aunt, you're too polite. If anyone should be thanked, it's actually me who should thank Young Master Jian. Without him, how could I have gotten such a good master?" While speaking politely, he didn't forget to flatter his own master.
Ge Zhangmen looked up at her, a faint smile flashing across his serious and indifferent eyes.
Jian Yu Yan quickly walked over and introduced them, and the two were indeed his parents. After Qin Luo Yi exchanged pleasantries with them, he bid farewell to everyone one by one.
Ge Zhangmen was brought by Qingfeng Master and Qingyun Master, without them, Qin Luoyi knew she had no way to join the Piaomiao Sect, so she privately gave each of them an 8th-grade healing pill as a token of gratitude.
The two masters were well aware of her alchemy skills and bluntly declined, directly accepting with a smile.
And her relationship with Jian Yu Yan is even closer than that of the two masters, although at first when they met, it was she who saved his life. However, without his help later on, she wouldn't have been able to earn enough silver coins so quickly, nor would she have been able to refine so many powerful talismans, successfully become an apprentice, and even break off the engagement... all of which are inseparable from him.
She thought for a moment, then took out several bottles of Dan medicine in addition to the ones she had previously given to Mingyue Pavilion to ask for help selling, and stuffed them into his hands.
Jian Yu Yan's lips curled up with a hint of mystery, shook his head, but didn't take it, just as he was about to explain, his mother walked over and happened to hear Qin Luo Yi's words, so she said in surprise: "Qin girl, don't you know about Yu Yan?"
Qin Luo Yi raised her head and looked at her, then at Jian Yu Yan, with a puzzled expression.
"Yu Yan has also joined the Piaoyou Sect, just like you, so we rushed over to see him. Who knows when we'll meet again next time?" As she spoke, her beautiful face became sorrowful beyond measure.
She was naturally delighted that her son could join the Piaoyou Sect, but whenever she thought that from now on, she might not see her son for many years to come, her heart felt extremely distressed.
Qin Luo Yi's eyes widened in surprise as she stared at Jian Yu Yan: "Is this true? Are you also going to Penglai Fairy Island?"
Jian Yu Yan looked at her with a smile and nodded: "It's not intentional to hide it from you, just the other day, Ge Zhang Men agreed to let me join Piaoyou Sect..."
This got him excited for a long time, originally wanting to tell her at the first opportunity, but as a result, he hadn't seen her come out of the palace these past few days, and back and forth like this, it delayed.
Qin Luoyi smiled and rubbed her hands together excitedly: "Great! So Master also accepted you as a disciple. Now that we're both in Penglai, we have each other's company. However, I entered the sect before you, but you're several years older than me... how do we count this? Are you my senior brother or am I your senior sister?"
She was the first to enter, should be senior sister.
Thinking of Jian Yu Yan having to call her "Shi Jie", the smile in her eyes grew thicker, and she looked at him with an expectant face.
A hint of shyness flashed in Jian Yu's dark eyes, and she lightly coughed, smiling: "It's not like that, Ge Zhangmen didn't take me as his disciple. You're already his closed-door disciple. Besides you, the master said he won't accept any more disciples in the future. The master just gave me an opportunity to go to Penglai Fairy Island and join the Xiao Yao Sect."
As for who will be the master, it can only be known when arriving at Penglai. The powerful ones in the Xuan Mi Sect would choose excellent cultivators from the sect as their disciples every once in a while. If one joins the sect for many years but is not noticed by anyone, then they can only become an outer disciple of the Xuan Mi Sect and will never be able to learn the profound cultivation methods within the sect for their entire life.
"So that's how it is!" Qin Luo's clothes were slightly disappointed, if they could become master siblings, it would be the best, and their living quarters would definitely be close by.
But soon felt relieved, actually all in one school, although sometimes not the same master, think about it also can't be far apart, and became happy again.
Going to Penglai Fairy Island, Qin Luoyi originally thought that his master would take out some powerful flying sword artifacts or something, and bring the three of them over directly.
The result went to the empty land behind the house, but saw her master take out a three-foot-sized white jade platform, and took out three fist-sized stones of unknown material with extremely rich spiritual energy, crystal clear, placed on the slightly concave part of the white jade platform. In an instant, there was a bright flow of light flashing on the white jade platform.
Ge Zhangmen's expression was stern, and he stretched out his right hand. A golden light shot out from his fingertips, imprinting mysterious symbols and patterns on the white jade platform. After a moment, the space around the white jade platform suddenly began to fluctuate violently, and a meter-sized spatial rift faintly appeared.
Master Qingfeng, with a wealth of knowledge and experience, explained in a low voice to Qin Luoyi and the others: "This white jade platform, with its intricate and powerful talismans, can instantly traverse the void. This is a technique that only the strongest masters of talismans on Penglai Island possess..."
Ge Zhangmen withdrew his fingers and said to Qin Luoyi and others, "Let's go!" He lifted his foot and stepped onto the white jade platform that was flashing with mysterious symbol prints.
Qin Luo Yi rushed towards Qing Yun Da Shi and the others with a smile, waving her hand, then followed them up. Hei, the big black dog, wagged its tail excitedly, closely following by her side.
Jian Yu Yan finally went up.
After they all stood on the White Jade Stage, a flash of light appeared on the stage, and several people disappeared instantly along with the stage.
"Qin Luo Yi!"
A white, slender figure swiftly flew in from outside, it was the Crown Prince Chu Yifeng who rode a sweat-blood horse out of the palace.
Unfortunately, he was one step too late. By the time he entered, all he saw was Qin Luo's group quickly disappearing into thin air.
"Qin Luo Yi! No matter where you go, I will definitely find you, definitely!" Looking in the direction Qin Luo Yi had disappeared, Chu Yi Feng clenched his fist and made a silent vow. In his dark eyes, a fierce and determined glint flashed.
When Qin Luo and his group emerged from the void, they found themselves on a small black island. The island was not large, about ten square kilometers in size. There was no grass or vegetation on the island, only bare rocks. Surrounding the island was an endless expanse of sea.
Qin Luo Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and muttered, "Master, where is this?" Don't tell her that this is actually Penglai Fairy Island. There's not even a hint of fairy energy here. A completely deserted island.
Kazuki seemed to know what was on her mind, and looked at her with a smile: "This is a deserted island in the depths of the South China Sea of the Holy Dragon Continent."
"Oh!" Qin Luo Yi pursed her lips and looked around with a smile. It's okay, it's okay, this isn't the Penglai Fairy Island after all.
Ge Zhangmen ignored her again, and a golden light burst forth from his fingertips as he once more began to carve mysterious runes on the White Jade Platform.
When they emerged from the void once again, the place where they landed was still a small island of less than ten square kilometers. Only this time, there were many towering trees on the island, with spiritual energy swirling around, and in the distance, the blue waves stretched for miles, with massive creatures floating up and down in the water. Perhaps they had discovered some unusual movement on the island, as those strange creatures all swam quickly towards the island.
Ge Zhangmen didn't even glance around, quietly carving the White Jade Platform. Before those enormous, ferocious creatures with thick killing auras attacked the island, they and the White Jade Platform vanished once again.
"You said, how far have we traveled through the void this time?" Qin Luo Yi asked curiously to Jian Yu Yan beside him.
Jian Yu Yan sat on the White Jade Stage for the first time, crossing the void, and wasn't very clear about these things either. He guessed: "At least it should be tens of thousands of miles." This was still his estimate based on the size of the demon beast he saw in the sea just now.
In the ocean, there are demonic beasts. Some cultivators specialize in hunting and killing these demonic beasts to obtain the demon dan within their bodies and sell them for a living. For tens of thousands of years, on the Holy Dragon Continent, cultivators who hunt demonic beasts have never ventured more than 200,000 miles into the deep sea. Beyond that distance, those demonic beasts are extremely formidable.
They didn't find any traces of the monster near the small island where they first landed, and the spiritual energy was similar to that of the Holy Dragon Continent. However, when they landed on the second small island, the massive monsters that rushed over were unlike anything he had seen in the records of the Holy Dragon Continent. Therefore, he inferred that their first landing place should still be within the 200,000-mile sea area where the Holy Dragon Continent's cultivators roam.
"It's not just tens of millions of miles, crossing once is at least twenty or thirty million miles!" The big black copper bell-sized eyes flashed, and he muttered softly.
Ge Zhengmen looked at Jian Yuyan with a thoughtful expression, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. Then he looked at Da Hei and said: "Indeed, it's twenty or thirty million miles. From the Holy Dragon Continent to Penglai Fairy Island, there is a fixed route. By crossing the void along this route, we can minimize the probability of encountering extremely powerful demon beasts."
Qin Luoyi's eyes lit up, and he patted Dahei's head, curiously asking: "Dahei, we just emerged from the void a moment ago, how did you know that Master has traversed at least several hundred thousand miles?"
"I knew it." Da Hei nodded his head and chuckled.
"How can you guess so accurately?" Qin Luo's phoenix eyes looked at it with suspicion, always feeling that it was not telling the truth.
Ge Zhangmen's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement as he glanced at Da Hei, his gaze conveying a teasing undertone that only Da Hei could understand.
After crossing the void on the White Jade Stage nearly ten times, they finally arrived above a massive land.
From the air, this land is lush with trees, and the spiritual energy is steaming, which is more than ten times thicker than the Holy Dragon Continent. Moreover, this continent does not look like those barren islands they passed through on their way... The population is dense, with pavilions and buildings everywhere, looking very prosperous.
"This is Penglai Fairy Island." Ge Zhangmen did not use the White Jade Stage this time, but instead rode a divine rainbow, taking them to fly quickly in the air above the land.
"Penglai Fairy Island... Although it's called an island, this place is probably not much smaller than the Sacred Dragon Continent." Jian Yumian's slender figure stood in mid-air, her white clothes fluttering, making her look even more elegant and carefree.
Qin Luo Yi nodded in agreement.
After flying for nearly half an hour, Ge Zhangmen finally stopped in front of a faint green mountain, a winding path paved with cobblestones that twisted and turned into the depths of the beautiful green mountains. On both sides of the path, ancient trees reached the sky, surrounded by green water, full of vitality. From afar, you could see many buildings hidden among the grass and trees, in perfect harmony with nature.
In front of the green mountain, there is a huge stone standing upright, over 100 meters high. One side of the stone is as flat as if it had been cut by a knife, and on top of it are written three large characters in a flying dragon and dancing phoenix style - Piao Yu Zong!
Ge Zhangmen once again mounted the divine rainbow, flying towards the inside of the green mountain, and flew over seven or eight mountain peaks before stopping. He handed Jian Yuyan over to a middle-aged man with a square face, gave him some instructions, and then brought Qin Luoyi and Dahei to continue flying deeper.
