Qinglian's words startled Liang Yi; was this what he had in mind?

"Senior, you're so powerful, can't you just go back directly yourself?"

Liang Yi pondered for a moment before expressing the doubt in his heart.

Su Youyi was also curious. Given Qinglian Senior's current power to alter heaven and earth, the Void seemed like his own backyard; why couldn't he return to the Mystical Mechanism Continent?

"I can't..."

Upon hearing the question, Qinglian directly shook his head, spreading his hands with a somewhat helpless expression on his face.

"Heavenly Dao is guarding against me. It doesn't want to let me return no matter what."

"Heavenly Dao... guarding against Senior?"

This statement left Liang Yi dumbfounded. Even the mighty Heavenly Dao had to be on guard against this person?

"My current Realm is roughly at the peak level of your Human Race cultivators in the Ninth Realm, so do you know what would happen if I continue to break through?"

Instead of explaining why Heavenly Dao was guarding against him, Qinglian shifted the topic and asked about another unrelated matter.

Both Liang Yi and Su Youyi were momentarily stunned upon hearing this because it seemed they had never considered this question before.

What happens if you continue to level up after reaching level 99? Of course, you reach level 100...

Liang Yi subconsciously disregarded the question, as no player cared what happened after leveling up from level 99 to level 100. The only things that could stop a player from leveling up were a level cap or insufficient experience.

And Su Youyi had also never considered what this unprecedented Tenth Realm would look like.

"Cultivation, cultivation, the Tenth Realm in your Human Race is what you all call 'Immortal'. Immortal and eternal, a single thought everlasting, one who determines the life and death of all things! However, such an Immortal, there would only be one in a world."

Qinglian spoke seriously, slowly revealing secrets known only by the very few.

"Once we Innate Objects break through the limit of Innate Divine Objects, then our very being can directly form a great world, with our spiritual wisdom becoming the nascent Heavenly Dao of that world!"

Liang Yi was so shocked that he was rendered speechless. The amount of information contained in just a few sentences from Qinglian was so overwhelming that he couldn't immediately react.

"Was the Mystical Mechanism Continent also once an Innate Divine Object?"

Thinking of the existence of Elder Orange, Liang Yi asked with some confusion.

"Yes and no, the Mystical Mechanism Continent indeed originated from a Mystical Mechanism Divine Stone in the Void. It was at the peak of Innate Divine Objects when it was born, and even its consciousness had not long emerged when it directly became the Mystical Mechanism Continent, so that mere trace of undeveloped spiritual wisdom became the Heavenly Dao of Mystical Mechanism Continent."

Qinglian explained offhandedly, being an Innate Object from the same era as the Mystical Mechanism Divine Stone, he was an old acquaintance of the Mystical Mechanism Continent.

"Later, the newly born Heavenly Dao was tainted by a drop of polluted blood from a mighty being. To cleanse the filth, Heavenly Dao severed itself with a cut, which then became the Abyss."

"Mighty beings? Are there other powerful entities beyond the Mystical Mechanism Continent?"

Su Youyi keenly caught onto the information in Qinglian's words and directly asked.

"Of course, there are countless worlds within the Void. Although they are extremely distant from each other, usually not interacting for billions of years, accidents still occasionally happen."

Qinglian nodded, stating it as if it were obvious.

"Just like that drop of polluted blood, who knows from which world it drifted over, and it just so happened to land on the head of Heavenly Dao of Mystical Mechanism Continent. It was truly unlucky."

Looking at the schadenfreude on Qinglian's face, Liang Yi's mouth twitched, this guy really seemed to revel in others' misfortune.

"So why does the Heavenly Dao of Mystical Mechanism Continent need to guard against you?"

"That guy, he's afraid I'll secretly steal his Heavenly Dao Origin as capital for promotion," Qinglian leaned back slightly before saying.

"Could it be that no one has considered that, although I have some quirky interests, how could I possibly be that kind of person?"

"Why does senior insist on returning?" Liang Yi wanted to understand the reason behind this.

"If I truly intend to make a breakthrough, using the Mystical Mechanism Continent as a barrier would make my breakthrough less difficult than in the Void. That's why I wish to return."

"Your body carries a rich aura of the Heavenly Dao. I plan to treat you as a boat, using you to shield me so I can sneak back quietly. That way, even if the Heavenly Dao detects it, he can't do anything about me. As long as I don't do anything to anger him, he won't be compelled to kick me out."

Qinglian's calculations were clicking into place, perfectly immaculate, with all potential factors already deduced.

The only thing he couldn't control was when the opportunity to bring Liang Yi over would arise.

Under normal circumstances, the Heavenly Dao guarded against him as it would against a thief. The power he transmitted to Liang Yi was pure Vital Energy, which is why it wasn't blocked by the Heavenly Dao.

He also couldn't directly break through the Void to pull someone, and he would also need a place that could temporarily weaken or shield the perception of the Heavenly Dao.

There were very few places that could meet all these conditions at once. Therefore, Qinglian could only wait quietly for the right moment.

However, when Zhu Shigu pulled Liang Yi back into his Origin and also applied an array to weaken the spatial hardness, she knew that this rare opportunity had come.

Inside the Origin of Zhu Shigu at the peak of the Eighth Realm, the Innate powers were rich—enough to diminish the perception of the Heavenly Dao. The array that weakened the spatial hardness also allowed Qinglian to exert more power.

It was then that Qinglian seized the chance and brought Liang Yi over in one fell swoop.

"I'm a fair person, using the Mystical Mechanism Continent to seek a breakthrough opportunity, so I will help it resist the Abyss. And in asking for your help to smuggle me in, naturally, I will also give you benefits."

Qinglian was not one to take advantage without paying. He liked fairness; the due reward would definitely not be shortchanged.

"Ding! Congratulations on triggering the mission [Was it you who brought the person here?]"

[Mission Prompt: The Innate Divine Object Qinglian Creation is on the verge of a breakthrough, intending to make use of the Mystical Mechanism Continent to mitigate various disasters during the breakthrough. However, the Mystical Mechanism Continent foresaw this, and Qinglian Creation, at a loss, can only seek help from you with your rich Heavenly Dao aura, to smuggle into the Mystical Mechanism Continent.]

[Mission Requirement: Help Qinglian Creation enter the Mystical Mechanism Continent]

[Mission Reward: Experience 8000w; Qinglian Favorability +800; Connect with Qinglian Creation level +1; Qinglian Creation level +1; a portion of the Qinglian Creation Origin.]

"Hiss..."

Upon witnessing the mission rewards at that instant, Liang Yi inhaled sharply due to their immense generosity.

It wasn't that he didn't want to refuse Qinglian, but that the System offered way too much!

"I am not incapable of helping with this matter, but I've got a condition..."

Liang Yi first calmed his emotions, rubbing his chin before another thought emerged in his mind.

"Is it about that little bamboo? Once I get there, I will definitely help him."

Qinglian, already showing joy at hearing the first part of the sentence, paused briefly after hearing the second part of Liang Yi's statement and then continued.

He thought it was about the little bamboo.

"It isn't about Bamboo Senior's matter."

Liang Yi slowly shook his head. These things were already in the mission rewards, he would be foolish to keep on assisting for no reason.

"I want to ask, since you've now found a way back to the Mystical Mechanism Continent, could my junior sister also cultivate the Qinglian Creation method?"

Liang Yi lifted his head, looking at Qinglian with an earnest expression and inquired.

Whoever uses the Qinglian Creation method knows its worth. After establishing a connection with Qinglian, it's like carrying a Blood Pool with you—utterly exhilarating and significantly lowering the risk of death.

"As long as junior sister's talent is sufficient, then I think she would also be able to cultivate it."
