Blessed Land, Playing Around!

Chapter 28 Blessed Land, Playing Around!

Chen Qing and the Mirage Dragon embarked on their journey once again, the two of them traversing the primordial land.

While traversing the primordial land, the Mirage Dragon also broke through its own cultivation realm as it wished, successfully advancing from the True Immortal realm to the Profound Immortal realm.

With Chen Qing around, there was no need to worry about anything unexpected happening. Everything went smoothly, and the breakthrough was completed successfully.

Chen Qing glanced at the mirage dragon, then warned him not to be complacent. Only by traveling thousands of miles and understanding his own cultivation mind could he attain the Great Luo Fruit and the Great Luo Path in the future.

Only in this way can he maintain his status. Otherwise, if Chen Qing rides him out in the future and he is still at the Xuanxian realm, his realm will be incomparable to the mounts of other great supernatural beings. Wouldn't that make him, as the master, lose face?

When Shenlong heard this, he wanted to say that this was not what he had said before, but he dared not refute it and could only silently agree with Chen Qing's words.

Even if the mirage dragon had other thoughts, it dared not reveal them.

On this day, a man and a dragon arrived at the foot of a mountain. Chen Qing stopped, and the mirage dragon, seeing this, also stopped.

The mirage dragon followed Chen Qing's gaze and was somewhat stunned, for it saw a celestial mountain.

The mountain was shrouded in ethereal mist, with clouds rising and cranes soaring in the air. Wild animals roamed freely, and spirits of plants and trees frolicked. A primordial spring flowed through the mountains.

In the mountains, a strange rock stands alone and proud, like a long snake, its head raised to the sky and hissing.

One mountain, shaped like a fierce tiger, is poised to descend, its imposing presence suggesting an imposing attack.

A stone, shaped like an old tortoise, lies prone there.

A stone, shaped like a phoenix, seems poised to soar into the sky.

Looking at the scenery in the mountains, Chen Qing couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

"What a blessed land! Here, the innate spiritual energy is abundant, the scenery is beautiful, the mountains are majestic, and all four elements and five elements are present. It is truly a top-level blessed land."

"However, it is unknown whether such a top-tier blessed land is occupied."

"Mirage Dragon, let's go and see. If there are any cultivators, we can exchange ideas and discuss the Dao. If there are no cultivators, then this place will become my cave dwelling from now on."

Hearing this, the mirage dragon nodded, but he didn't care, because he felt it was the same no matter where he was.

The man and the dragon walked forward and had already entered the mountain.

After walking for a while, we unknowingly reached the mountainside.

"Hey!"

"Who are you, fellow Daoist, and why have you trespassed into my Daoist temple without permission?"

Upon seeing Chen Qing, the visitor discovered that Chen Qing possessed the cultivation level of a Celestial Immortal and had a small beast beside him, so he spoke up to warn him.

Chen Qing had already spotted him before he arrived, but seeing that he was a Celestial Immortal, he didn't take him seriously.

"Fellow Daoist, my name is Chen Qing. I have been traveling in the primordial world. Today, I have seen the beautiful scenery of this mountain and couldn't help but come here. Please forgive my rudeness."

After listening to Chen Qing's words, the newcomer looked Chen Qing up and down before speaking slowly.

"Fellow Daoist, this mountain is called Chuyuan, and I am the master of this mountain, the Taiyuan True Man."

"There is another Daoist in this mountain, named Master Yiyuan."

"Since you have the opportunity to come to this mountain, fellow Daoist, please enter. Let us discuss the Dao, shall we?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing smiled.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Taiyuan and Fellow Daoist Yiyuan. I am Chen Qing, and I greet you."

"Since you have invited me, I must go."

Master Taiyuan laughed heartily upon hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist, please come. It is rare for outsiders to come to Chuyuan Mountain. Fellow Daoist Yiyuan and I have been cultivating in this mountain for a thousand years, but no other Daoist has ever come here. Now that you have come, we must have a good discussion on the Dao."

"Fellow Daoist, please follow me. Fellow Daoist Yiyuan is waiting for you in the mountains!"

Seeing how enthusiastic Master Taiyuan was, Chen Qing readily agreed and followed Master Taiyuan.

He wanted to see what this Master Taiyuan was really up to. If it was just a discussion about the Dao, then everything would be fine. But if he had other ideas, then he wouldn't be so ruthless.

With his current cultivation level so high, apart from a few individuals in this primordial world, there are few who can make him wary. Taiyuan is only at the Heavenly Immortal realm, so how could he pose any threat to him? Chen Qing has no fear at all.

The mirage dragon did not reveal its cultivation level, so Master Taiyuan did not notice it and thought it was just an ordinary strange beast.

Chen Qing followed Taiyuan Zhenren, and the two walked together until they arrived at a pavilion halfway up the mountain.

Inside the pavilion, a person was sitting upright.

Master Taiyuan looked at the man, then turned to Chen Qing and introduced him with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, that is the Fellow Daoist Yi Yuan I was referring to."

Upon hearing the letter, Chen Qing nodded and followed.

"Fellow Daoist Yiyuan, Fellow Daoist Yiyuan, let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Chen Qing."

"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing stumbled upon our Chuyuan Mountain. Seeing that his cultivation level was the same as ours, I specially invited him to discuss the Dao with us."

Chen Qing looked at Daoist Yiyuan with a smile on his face, and then greeted him.

"This humble Taoist, Chen Qing, greets Fellow Taoist Yiyuan."

When Master Yiyuan was introduced by Master Taiyuan, he had already stood up.

Upon seeing Chen Qing perform a Taoist salute, he immediately returned the salute.

"This humble Taoist, Yiyuan, greets Fellow Taoist Chen Qing."

Seeing this, Master Taiyuan invited the two to sit down first.

"Fellow Daoist, please have a seat."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly on the stone stool.

"Fellow Daoist, you are unaware that when you arrived, I was discussing the Dao with Fellow Daoist Yiyuan."

"Your arrival inadvertently triggered the mountain's restrictions, which is why I went out to investigate."

"Unexpectedly, I have met a fellow Daoist."

"I see that your cultivation level is comparable to ours, so I thought I would invite you to come and discuss the Dao with us."

Hearing this, Chen Qing smiled and nodded, then slowly spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyuan, you may not know, but I usually cultivate alone and only work behind closed doors. There are many things I don't understand in my cultivation."

"It's just that I'm cultivating alone and have no one to discuss the Dao with, so I can only leave these many unanswered questions aside for now."

"Now that I have met two fellow Daoists, I must have a proper discussion on the Dao."

Taiyuan Zhenren and Yiyuan Zhenren burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"What you say is true, fellow Daoist. We often discuss the Dao and resolve each other's doubts. Only in this way can we achieve the Great Dao."

"If you have any questions about the Dao today, please feel free to ask, and the three of us can discuss them thoroughly."

Chen Qing laughed when he heard what Taiyuan Zhenren said. He laughed because Taiyuan clearly had ill intentions towards him.

He knew it from the way he looked at Master Yiyuan.

Taiyuan Zhenren and Yiyuan Zhenren exchanged glances several times, pretending that he hadn't seen them.

However, since the two were celestial beings, he did not take them seriously.

Seeing that Chen Qing was only at the level of a Celestial Immortal, and after extracting information from him earlier, Master Taiyuan was convinced that Chen Qing was cultivating alone, without a master or many fellow Daoists.

The path of cultivation is too difficult. If he could kill Chen Qing, he might be able to obtain some treasures from Chen Qing. At the very least, he could obtain some other rare and precious materials.

Moreover, this was not the first or second time that the two of them had done such a thing. In the past, when someone broke in, the two of them would assess the strength of the intruder. If the intruder was stronger than them, they would directly activate the great formation. If the intruder was weaker, they would use the pretext of discussing the Dao to kill the intruder during the discussion.

Now that Chen Qing has come to them of his own accord, how could the two of them not kill him?

Moreover, Chen Qing was alone, along with the little beast that had little cultivation. He and Master Yiyuan were enough to handle the situation two against one.

Chen Qing, however, was prepared to see what tricks the two were up to. His strength was already extremely powerful, but he was not in a hurry to cultivate.

Seeing that the three had been talking for a while, Master Taiyuan suggested that they begin discussing the Dao.

After glancing at one person in person, he indicated that they could begin.

Seeing this, Chen Qing smiled and agreed.

Master Taiyuan then spoke first, explaining his understanding of the Great Dao.

Chen Qing listened and found that these were just some superficial words and were of no use.

After all, True Immortal Taiyuan was only at the Celestial Immortal realm; how deep could his understanding of the Great Dao be?

However, the act still had to be performed, so Chen Qing pretended to listen attentively.

Master Taiyuan explained some of his understanding of the Dao, and then Master Yiyuan began to explain.

Both of them spoke of rudimentary principles, lacking any deep understanding.

In Chen Qingyue's eyes, their understanding of the Dao was as shallow as that of a child.

Just as Chen Qing was about to begin explaining the Great Dao, he was interrupted by True Person Taiyuan.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, you should first discuss the Dao with Fellow Daoist Yi Yuan. The restrictions in this mountain are fluctuating; we don't know if any other fellow Daoists have entered the mountain."

"My two fellow Daoists, please continue your discussion. I'll go take a look and be right back."

After saying this, he got up and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Chen Qing stood up and looked at Master Taiyuan, pretending to ask him in good faith.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyuan, please wait a moment. Would you like me to accompany you?"

Upon hearing this, Master Taiyuan quickly smiled and waved his hand.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, please rest assured and continue your discussion with Fellow Daoist Yi Yuan here. With the great formation in place, there shouldn't be any major problems. I'll go take a look and return if everything is alright."

Looking into Taiyuan Zhenren's eyes, Yiyuan Zhenren understood everything and immediately began to speak.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, let's discuss the Dao here for now. If anything happens, Fellow Daoist Taiyuan will call on us."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing said no more and sat down.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyuan, since that's the case, then I will first discuss the Dao with Fellow Daoist Yiyuan, and we will discuss the Dao together again after you return."

After listening to Chen Qing's words, Master Taiyuan readily agreed, then said a few words and walked directly out of the pavilion.

Master Yiyuan smiled as he looked at Chen Qing, waiting for Chen Qing to begin expounding on the Great Dao.

After pondering for a while, Chen Qing also explained some very basic principles.

However, even though his explanation of the Great Dao was quite rudimentary, it was still a notch above what Taiyuan Zhenren and Yiyuan Zhenren had taught.

Master Yiyuan listened to Chen Qing's explanation of the Great Dao and agreed with it quite a bit, occasionally bursting into laughter.

The two were quite satisfied with their discussion.

After leaving the pavilion, Master Taiyuan did not go far. He stood at a distance, observing Chen Qing's condition.

Seeing Chen Qing and Master Yiyuan chatting happily, he revealed a sinister smile.

"Laugh, laugh, your death is just around the corner."

"I refuse to believe that, at the same level, with my sneak attack and the initiative, plus the skills of myself and Fellow Daoist Yiyuan, you can't possibly escape."

"You are a celestial being, and so are I and Fellow Daoist Yiyuan. With two against one, how could we possibly lose?"

"Once I kill you, I'll see what rare treasures you have."

After waiting for a while, I carefully walked towards the pavilion.

This time, however, he floated on the ground and headed towards the pavilion without making a sound.

Master Taiyuan held a sword in his right hand, ready to attack at any moment.

Master Yiyuan sat facing Chen Qing, discussing the Great Dao with him. He glanced at Master Taiyuan, then pretended not to see him.

Chen Qing was sitting with his back to Taiyuan Zhenren, so he could not see Taiyuan Zhenren behind him.

Unbeknownst to the two, Taiyuan Zhenren's whereabouts had always been under Chen Qing's control.

From the moment Master Taiyuan left until now, Master Taiyuan has been floating over, and he has been within Chen Qing's perception.

Seeing that Chen Qing made no move, Master Taiyuan assumed that he was about to succeed.

At this moment, a look of joy appeared on his face, as if he had seen victory.

When he was less than ten meters away from Chen Qing, he threw the sword in his hand at Chen Qing.

The flying sword is controlled by magic and moves at an extremely high speed.

He laughed heartily, as if he could see the long sword piercing through Chen Qing's body.

The longsword pierced the air and arrived behind Chen Qing in the blink of an eye.

Behind Chen Qing, the flying sword could no longer penetrate and stood there silently.

Then, the smiling Master Yiyuan suddenly retreated.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyuan, you seem rather impatient. Are you so eager to kill me?"

When Master Taiyuan saw that his longsword was being blocked, he was somewhat taken aback.

"You, you, how did you know?"

Chen Qing sneered, turned to look at Master Taiyuan, and then shook his head slightly.

"Do you really think I'm unprepared? This is your cave dwelling. I trespassed, and instead of driving me away, you invited me to come and discuss the Dao."

"From that moment on, I was certain that you had ulterior motives. The reason I didn't expose you was to see what your motives were."

"However, I never expected that you would want to leave me here forever. Killing many people and gaining treasures is not uncommon in this primordial world, but you are too impatient. It hasn't been long, and you couldn't help but make a move."

Master Taiyuan looked at Chen Qing with a calm expression.

"snort!"

"So what if you're on guard?"

"You're just one person, and I, along with Fellow Daoist Yiyuan, can't possibly defeat you in a sparring match?"

"You are a celestial being, and so are we. Do you think you can escape us?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at Master Yiyuan with a playful smile on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Yiyuan, you also want to kill me?"

Upon hearing Chen Qing's question, Master Yiyuan walked towards Master Taiyuan.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, I have known Fellow Daoist Taiyuan for many years; now that Fellow Daoist Taiyuan has made his decision, I will help him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay, that's great."

"I never expected that I would encounter such a thing while traveling through the primordial world. In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"If I kill you two here, this blessed land will be mine."

Upon hearing this, Master Taiyuan scoffed.

"Chen Qing, instead of trying to escape, you want to kill the two of us."

"Hahaha!"

"You don't even know your own cultivation level, yet you have the audacity to say you want to kill the two of us."

Master Taiyuan recalled his immortal sword and prepared to attack.

Master Yiyuan also took out a celestial sword and assumed an attack stance.

Chen Qing looked at the two of them with a mocking expression in his eyes.

His strength was already extremely powerful in this primordial world, yet now he harbored the intention of toying with the two of them.
