Woo! 100th Chapter!! (>.<)

Zhuang Wei gazed silently at the woman he cared about. She had always been strong and a.s.sertive. Although he should have been happy for her if she could befriend the foundation-building cultivators and have the opportunity to enter the big world, he couldn’t completely hide the sadness in his heart.

It wasn’t that he didn’t know Miss Ziluo; in fact, they had a deep history together. She had shown him great kindness and care even before they formally met. The warmth from their time together back then was etched in his heart and would never be forgotten. Later, when Zhuang Wei joined Xu’s family and worked hard in his cultivation to support Miss Ziluo, he was disappointed to see her change and even forget about him. Their childhood bond remained only in his heart, yet he still continued to care for her in every possible way.

As Miss Ziluo ventured into the big world, Zhuang Wei’s abilities were limited, and he could no longer follow her. All he wanted was the chance to reunite with her in this lifetime, to do whatever he could for her.

Lost in these thoughts, Zhuang Wei was startled by a familiar voice that reached his ears.

“Brother Zhuang, do you still remember your old friend?”

Zhuang Wei turned his head in shock and saw a young man dressed in green walking towards him with a gentle temperament and a smile. Overjoyed, Zhuang Wei exclaimed, “Ziqing?” Despite having many friends, Zhuang Wei felt a unique connection with Xu Ziqing, who was a few years younger than him. Xu Ziqing’s destiny had been tied to the secret realm, and Zhuang Wei was initially delighted for him, but later learned of his tragic fate in the realm, which left him heartbroken for years. Yet here, seeing Xu Ziqing, almost unchanged from their last meeting, he recognized him immediately.

Xu Ziqing was also happy to see Zhuang Wei, as he was his first friend in this other world, and reuniting after so long demonstrated the significance of their bond.

Approaching Zhuang Wei, Xu Ziqing smiled and said, “It’s me, brother Zhuang. It’s been a long time. I’m glad to see you well.”

Observing the change in Xu Ziqing’s aura, Zhuang Wei couldn’t help but feel surprised. Xu Ziqing’s aura now seemed deep and profound, like an abyss. He expressed his amazement, “My dear brother Ziqing… No, I should address you as Senior Xu now.”

Xu Ziqing quickly retorted, “Back then, we had different statuses, and you were generous enough to recognize me as a virtuous brother. Am I now, having just achieved a little success, trying to be your senior? Brother Zhuang, in your heart, I am your junior, not your senior!”

Grateful for Xu Ziqing’s humility, Zhuang Wei replied, “I’m aware that you must have faced numerous challenges to achieve such cultivation. Upon hearing the troubling news about you, I had my own thoughts, but now seeing you alive before my eyes… I…” His words trailed off without completion.

Taking a moment to reminisce about the past and compare it to the present, Xu Ziqing couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotions.

However, Xu Ziqing refocused on the reason for his visit and said, “I’ve already established my foundation, and when the Ascension Dragon Gate opens, I plan to enter the big world. However, I’m unfamiliar with it, and that’s why I hope to find a good friend to accompany me. Will you help, brother?”

Considering Zhuang Wei’s feelings, Xu Ziqing gently teased, “Brother Zhuang, there’s no need to make such faces for me. You know what’s on my mind, and I appreciate your concern. Thank you.” Xu Ziqing spoke sincerely, not holding back any pretense.

He acknowledged the unknown dangers of the big world and expressed his concern for Zhuang Wei, who seemed determined to follow Miss Ziluo.

Although Xu Ziqing was worried, he couldn’t change Zhuang Wei’s feelings.

Matters of the heart are akin to drinking water; it’s only the drinker who knows its warmth. From Xu Ziqing’s perspective, Xu Ziluo may not be worthy of Zhuang Wei’s attention, but he understood that it was different in Zhuang Wei’s heart.

Looking at the situation from another perspective, Zhuang Wei knew that if he were to fall in love with someone in the future and his friend didn’t approve, he would feel rejected and uncomfortable. Even if they were still friends, he wouldn’t interfere with his friend’s choices.

Zhuang Wei smiled with innocence, acknowledging that Xu Ziluo didn’t reciprocate his feelings, and he had been stubborn about it. He understood her fiery temper and couldn’t help but worry about her safety in the big world. Xu Ziqing understood his concerns, but he couldn’t change Zhuang Wei’s mind.

Trying to be cautious in his advice, Xu Ziqing reminded Zhuang Wei that he needed to be able to let go when things were not meant to be. He also hinted at Xu Ziluo’s aggressive nature and how it might not be well-received in the big world.

Though he worried about his friend, Xu Ziqing understood that every step of the cultivation journey was fraught with difficulties. Zhuang Wei’s infatuation with Xu Ziluo could be his biggest obstacle. If he couldn’t overcome it, it might hinder his progress. However, he also recognized that as an outsider, he could only offer support and encouragement.

Zhuang Wei appreciated Xu Ziqing’s concern and they bonded once again. Xu Ziqing invited him to celebrate when he achieved Foundation Establishment, solidifying their camaraderie.

During their conversation, Xu Ziqing sensed a trace of malevolence coming from Xu Zishu, a woman in a yellow dress standing with a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Xu Zishu had always shown animosity toward Xu Ziqing for reasons unknown. She seemed to be jealous and resented him, even though she knew he was far more powerful than her.

Xu Ziqing cautioned Zhuang Wei to be careful of Xu Zishu, as she might have sinister intentions. He also made a subtle move, planting a gra.s.s seed on her heel to monitor her movements.

Suddenly, a burst of bright golden light appeared in the sky, followed by a dragon roar, signaling the opening of the Ascension Dragon Gate.

The dragon chant was mighty and long, as if it were transmitted directly into the human brain, making all the cultivators stiff and unable to move for a while. Even the foundation-building cultivators are no exception!

After a long time, the dragon chant disappeared, and all the cultivators woke up, dripping with cold sweat.

Such a loud momentum, I don’t know how it came out. At this time, the Rising Dragon Gate should appear, but could there be a real dragon on the Rising Dragon Gate?

All the cultivators couldn’t help but looked into the sky together. At this time, the golden light gradually softened, and an extremely tall portal appeared in the void.

I saw that it was hundreds of feet tall, but slightly smaller in width. As soon as it appeared, there was a huge coercion oncoming, which made people want to bend their spines to avoid its sharp edge.

The whole body of this portal is dark gold, and it is unknown what kind of material it is made of, exuding a very deep and ancient atmosphere. There is a mighty dragon engraved on the door leaf, and the two door knockers are like the eyes of a dragon, with an indescribable will, looking down on everyone.

About one zhang in front of the left side, there is a red light looming, like a hood. And a few figures emerged from the hood, it was Su Xin and the other six.

Su Xinying also released his consciousness, and when he spotted Xu Ziqing, he sent a voice transmission: “Brother Ziqing, come in quickly!” Without hesitation

, Xu Ziqing immediately took Zhuang Wei into the hood.

At this time, there was a faint red light around, and Zhuang Wei, who was “blind with his eyes open”, could see everyone in the hood.

Su Xin is holding a red shuttle in his hand, called “Chunyang Shuttle”, which is a low-grade spiritual weapon of chaos attribute. The so-called chaotic attribute means that true essence of any attribute can use it, which is extremely convenient. When Su Xin injects the true essence, a fusiform cover of fire attribute can be aroused from it, protecting everyone within ten feet around. And this cover is very strong, and it can withstand the strong wind overflowing in the Dragon Gate.

The cultivators in the scattered cultivators stood in the hood, and the surrounding winds could not invade at all, so it could be said that they were very safe.

Because they didn’t know the way ahead, everyone didn’t talk much. After Xu Ziqing let go of Zhuang Wei and the two of them stood firm, they started to walk forward.

The road surface is fairly smooth, but the Shenglongmen is silent, and people walking in it, even if they have a companion by their side, seem very lonely.

At this time, it was Su Xin who was manipulating Chunyang Shuo, and the rest of them used their spiritual consciousness to pay attention to the outside situation, and if there was something wrong, they had to deal with it immediately.

Xu Ziqing could “see” that there were many cultivators walking ahead on this road, and there were also some faint lights of magical weapons, but in such darkness, most of the light was covered up, making it difficult for people to see easily.

After walking for a while, the wind in the pa.s.sage suddenly became violent! The pure yang fire s.h.i.+eld trembled suddenly, and even made a “pop” sound!

With a low growl, Su Xin sent in more true energy, and immediately the cover became brighter and gradually stabilized. As for Su Xin, his complexion turned pale because he spent most of his true energy.

Xu Ziqing withdrew his consciousness, just now, he “saw” a cultivator in front of him was suddenly overturned by the hurricane, rolled out in an instant, his hair was disheveled and his body was in a mess before he breathed.

Zhuo Hanyan obviously also saw the miserable condition of that person, and his pretty face turned pale immediately: “If it becomes like that, how shameful would we have to wors.h.i.+p at the gate of the Great Sect!” Now the strong wind in the Ascending Dragon Gate cannot take away the lives of the cultivators who established the

foundation , but it’s not that easy to get along with. If it is an unprotected mountain cultivator who has finally built a foundation, but in this dragon gate, his whole body will be exhausted. When he arrives in the big world, it will become a big joke to show himself in front of people like that.

Zhuo Hanyan is both a genius and a woman, if she loses face, it’s not much better than dying!

That’s why the Loose Cultivator Alliance gave the spirit weapon to the cultivators to win the favor of the powerful sects and sects in the big world without losing their demeanor.

But Xu Ziqing didn’t think about that much, he thought for a while, and said: “I’ll go out and find out, and I’ll trouble all fellow Taoists to take care of brother Zhuang for me.

” Brother, what are you?”

Xu Ziqing said with a smile: “It’s rare to enter the Ascending Dragon Gate, and it’s just to fight the wind, so it’s worth coming here!” The cultivators wanted to persuade them,

but he had made up his mind, so he finished speaking Then he threw Chonghua off his shoulders and stepped out.

After going out of the pure sun fire cover, Xu Ziqing suddenly felt severe pain all over his body, as if countless steel knives were slas.h.i.+ng at his face, cutting his body, the pain was unbearable!

The wind blowing on the road at this time is far from comparable to the wind when he first entered the Ascension Dragon Gate. It is as strong as waves and as violent as a giant dragon. If Xu Ziqing hadn’t been prepared, he might be overturned immediately!

Firmly planting his feet on the ground, Xu Ziqing held his breath and directed his breath into the billions of pores in his body. This strong wind is too fierce, if he breathes in, it will definitely hurt his lungs!

Xu Ziqing now knows why only Foundation Establishment cultivators can pa.s.s, indeed. After he attached the true essence to his skin, he could feel the strong wind blowing, weakening the true essence layer by layer, and he could feel a little better until he quickly replenished it.

Struggling to move forward, Xu Ziqing dared not pause for even a moment.

The winds here were fierce and relentless, filled with raging hurricanes that constantly swept back and forth, making it difficult for anyone to stand firm. The gusts collided with one another, producing loud sounds akin to splas.h.i.+ng waves, cracking boulders, and exploding thunder, which reverberated through their ears. The contrast between this violent tempest and the tranquility within the pure yang fire s.h.i.+eld was like the difference between extreme cold and extreme warmth, akin to the gap between heaven and earth.

Although Xu Ziqing felt like he was moving swiftly, the pure yang fire s.h.i.+eld a few steps behind him had already s.h.i.+fted from emitting a faint red light to a blue light, then ultimately transformed into a golden light. The s.h.i.+eld’s cycle repeated countless times to maintain its strength.

As they ventured further, the winds grew even stronger.

Xu Ziqing’s true energy fluctuated continuously, and his inner technique in the dantian ran at full tilt. Any attempts at using techniques or reciting spells were futile; his focus was solely on resisting the winds.

He now understood that in the Ascension Dragon Gate, foundation-establishment cultivators like him could only rely on their cultivation to endure the ordeal. The deeper their cultivation and the better they were at fine manipulation, the longer they could last and the more true energy they could conserve.

Any other tricks or techniques were of little use unless they wielded magic or spiritual weapons.

After walking for some time, Xu Ziqing felt almost numb.

Suddenly, a powerful gust of wind swept by, causing the things binding his hair to scatter, leaving his long hair unkempt and a mess.

He couldn’t help but feel embarra.s.sed… Xu Ziqing chuckled wryly to himself but continued onward.

It was an exceedingly arduous journey, and gradually, the winds seemed to subside. The hurricane no longer flowed with the wind but continued to blast from both sides, transforming from a violent gale to a fierce wind and then gradually calming… At this moment, brightness appeared ahead.

Stimulated by the strong light, Xu Ziqing narrowed his eyes. When he reopened them, he saw a ma.s.sive door wide open in front of him. It was the exit of the Dragon Gate, and also the entrance to the Qingyun Great World.

Shortly after, Su Xin and the others arrived. They put away the Chunyang shuttle, feeling a bit tense. Before they could fully relax, a strong repelling force emerged from behind, indicating that the Dragon Gate was ejecting them.

Xu Ziqing quickly brushed his long hair aside before being thrust out by the Dragon Gate. Chonghua rushed to his side, clutching his shoulders tightly. His vision blurred, and he fell to the ground.

Around him, many cultivators also fell, barely managing to remain on their feet. Su Xin and the other members of the Loose Cultivation Alliance were not far away. After steadying themselves, they approached Xu Ziqing.

Only then did the cultivators have the opportunity to look around, and their gasps filled the air.

Before them lay an immensely wide stone field, paved with closely-fitted bluestones that were smooth yet thick, exuding exceptional craftsmans.h.i.+p. It stretched out so far that they couldn’t fathom its boundaries.

Dozens of giant spirit boats floated on the rocky ground, about an inch above the surface, radiating precious light and an auspicious glow. The boats were colossal, with many mythical creatures and spirit beasts resting upon them. Numerous imposing cultivators stood on these vessels.

The cultivators from the small world, disheveled and embarra.s.sed due to the fierce winds, felt even more inadequate upon witnessing the cultivators from the big world.

Each spirit boat bore a golden talisman displaying the name of a sect.

Shortly after their arrival, a cultivator gracefully descended from one of the boats, exuding an air of refined elegance that suggested an unfathomable cultivation base. Despite this, his face appeared kind, prompting him to approach the cultivators and engage them in conversation.

The small-world cultivators quickly realized that this was the time for the sects to select disciples. They cheered themselves up, striving to perform well. Many who had prepared for this opportunity directly headed toward the spirit boats, searching for their chosen sects.

Zhuang Wei bid farewell to Xu Ziqing and hurriedly pursued the slender purple figure, leaving Xu Ziqing to watch him go with heartfelt prayers, hoping that Zhuang Wei could conquer his inner demons soon.

Xu Zifeng’s sword energy enveloped his entire body, exuding a demeanor that stood out amongst the crowd. The sects had long noticed him, and many of the other cultivators also had aspirations in their hearts, either hoping to be chosen or seeking opportunities to visit different sects. In short, everyone seemed to have their own plans.

Only a few members of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, along with Diao Zimo and Luo Hou, remained together, and they hadn’t yet explored the spirit boats. However, considering their talents and ages, they were all outstanding disciples, and it was evident that they were familiar with each other. Soon, several sects were eyeing them and expressing their intentions to recruit.

As Xu Ziqing and the others were about to discuss their next steps and the journey to the Wuling Immortal Sect, a sudden s.h.i.+ft in the atmosphere left Su Xin momentarily speechless.

Perplexed, the others asked, “Why…?” before they too fell silent.

At that very moment, an overwhelmingly powerful killing intent surged from a distance, engulfing the entire stone field in a chilling embrace. It was a merciless, icy, and indomitable intent to annihilate. The world seemed to transform into the embodiment of “death,” sending s.h.i.+vers down their spines, chilling not only their bodies but even their internal organs, flesh, and meridians.

Following the killing intent, a bone-chilling male voice resounded, appearing both distant and close, echoing in their ears.

“Xu Ziqing.”

Xu Ziqing’s pupils contracted abruptly, and when he turned his head, he was rendered dumbfounded.

Filled with hesitation and disbelief, he stammered, “Yun… brother?”
