Facing this attack, Lin Qianxuan's eyes flickered with profound light, and the Divine Wisdom Dao Principle enhanced his insight, allowing him to analyze all the information of this punch and the Eyes of the Muddled Heaven to glimpse the traces of destiny, mastering many future possibilities.
Then, Lin Qianxuan joined two fingers into a sword and executed the Carefree Finger from the Carefree Pavilion, striking directly.
"Phew~!"
A gently floating Finger Sword blocked the unmatched force of the punch, breaking its power instantly.
Qi Xia withdrew his Primordial Spirit, already understanding the fact that Lin Qianxuan had withheld much of his strength.
He was somewhat incredulous.
According to the records he explored, only a few years had passed since Lin Qianxuan defeated the Mud God; could he have cultivated to this level in such a short time?
Could the Outer Realm be a Holy Land for cultivation?
"Thank you for letting me win," Lin Qianxuan said to Qi Xia with respect.
"Your cultivation is profound, your talent unmatched; I am far inferior," Qi Xia shook his head and said.
The dignity of conceding defeat was still present.
If he couldn't win, there's no need to pretend.
"The demeanor of the Divine Martial Great Emperor is indeed extraordinary," Lin Qianxuan smiled and invited, "May I have the honor to invite the Divine Martial Great Emperor to my abode for some tea and a discussion on Dao?"
"Then I shall respectfully comply," Qi Xia nodded and replied with respect.
Later, Lin Qianxuan opened the entrance to the Qiankun Space and invited Qi Xia to enter together.
The current Qiankun Space and the Spiritual Light Grotto Heaven were integrated, with abundant spiritual energy, barely giving the feeling of a celestial abode.
Lin Qianxuan and Qi Xia settled at a viewing platform on a high mountain within, then started tasting Spirit Tea and conversed.
"I heard that the Divine Martial Great Emperor once went to explore the Muddy Qi World and the Outer Realm, did you gain anything?" Lin Qianxuan asked.
"The Muddy Qi World is vast and endless, and after spending over a hundred years reaching its borders, I didn't find the entrance to the Outer Realm there, so it seems the method was wrong," Qi Xia lifted his tea, took a sip, then shook his head and said, "But how did you come from the Outer Realm, my Daoist friend?"
"Nowadays as the worlds converge, connections form naturally, sometimes allowing items from other realms to cross over. By borrowing those items, one can deepen the link with another world, thus being drawn by the world itself to travel across," Lin Qianxuan explained.
"I see," Qi Xia nodded.
While drinking tea and feeling the abundant spiritual energy around, Qi Xia thought Lin Qianxuan's world was indeed a cultivation Holy Land.
With the intention of asking Lin Qianxuan for an introduction to this world.
After exchanging conversations, Lin Qianxuan and Qi Xia began calling each other Daoist friends, and essentially became friends.
"Speaking of which, Qi Feng once asked me to deliver a message to you," Lin Qianxuan said.
Qi Feng was Qi Xia's descendant progeny, the former Emperor Feng.
"Is there anything he could say after being manipulated by the Mud God due to personal greed, causing the disaster of the Mud Plague that harmed the world?" Qi Xia said without good humor.
Lin Qianxuan thought so too but could not speak it; after all, affecting fairness.
"Towards the end of his life, he repented. Without his help, I wouldn't have defeated the Mud God. Before his death, he expressed guilt for letting down his ancestors, failing to protect the legacy, hoping you could forgive him," Lin Qianxuan said.
"That's what he should have done; as a Monarch, if he doesn't have even that much accountability, I would regard him with shame," Qi Xia first criticized, then sighed and said, "He has entered reincarnation now, nothing much more to say despite many sins."
That sentence meant he had forgiven Qi Feng.
Lin Qianxuan also felt some emotion upon hearing this.
He had learned a lot from Qi Feng back then, and now he figured this settled the favor.
After chatting a while, Qi Xia finally expressed his hope for Lin Qianxuan's help in introducing him to Earth.
Qi Xia had no intention of remaining in the Qingling World.
This world seemed like a cage to him, too small for such a strong individual.
Lin Qianxuan naturally didn't refuse, and that day, Lin Qianxuan advanced through the crossover back.
-----------------
Earth.
After returning, Lin Qianxuan introduced Qi Xia to the Otherworld Bureau.
After learning of Qi Xia's identity, Qi Xia was arranged to be a vice principal and also a teacher at Vermilion Bird Academy.
Earth hired quite a few teachers from the Qingling World, but Qi Xia's level was the first.
Besides introducing Qi Xia, Lin Qianxuan also delivered elixirs he refined from Spiritual Materials within Grotto Heaven Blessed Land to the Otherworld Bureau.
These elixirs were numerous and of high quality, suggesting a substantial increase in the overall power within the Bureau in the upcoming period.
Having contributed significantly, Zhang Heng further promoted Lin Qianxuan's rank.
For Lin Qianxuan, however, it was more symbolic than practical since he had already assumed the Town Guardian authority from Jiang Mengli; within Earth's jurisdiction, this was the highest civilized status, while his formal position in Xuan Country was merely to increase his recognition among ordinary netizens.
....
March 28th.
Under the pressure of Lin Qianxuan's elixirs, Chen Long'Er finally entered the Dao Realm.
She also carried the Dragon Bloodline, with innate divine power within her, entering the Dao Realm was supposed to naturally occur.
Her innate divine power transforms into a purple aura capable of healing, enhancing everything's Spiritual Wisdom, greatly aiding in healing injuries.
This was indeed opposite to Lin Qianxuan's True Flame, which burns all things.
....
March 29th.
Lin Qianxuan's avatar suppressed the Lizardmen invading Pinghai.
That Lizardman swordsman named Pamos was also defeated by Lin Qianxuan; his strength wasn't weak, having reached the Sea Covering level.
After defeating him, Lin Qianxuan further reinforced the space in Pinghai, completely cutting off the path of invasion from the Lizardmen's world.
In despair, Pamos chose suicide.
Looking at the pile of Lizardmen corpses and Pamos's body still standing post-death, Lin Qianxuan remained silent.
World convergence isn't for them to decide, it is merely a matter of stance without right or wrong.
Their wish to live on Earth was something the planet could never agree with.
Failing that, only the fate of silence awaited them.
Now, with the failed invasion, only death remained.
...
March 30th.
Yan Yilin's studio released a new game, this time focusing on anthropomorphized animal characters with feminine traits.
Lin Qianxuan received a complimentary game, and he took the rare occasion to restart his Exploding Tentacle Monster account, spending half a day streaming, offering free publicity for Yan Yilin's studio, while adding to his "black history."
Nonetheless, he didn't mind; at his level, he could afford to be more carefree and relaxed.
On a side note, animal characters are truly amazing!
After playing games for half a day, he went back to Qingling World to refine Dragon Pearls for cultivation.
.....
April 1st, six in the morning.
Lin Qianxuan returned to Earth.
At this moment, the Dragon Palace was extremely empty.
Chen Long'Er was cultivating, and Zhang Juan had already returned to the Supreme Star to handle unfinished matters, so now only Lin Qianxuan remained here.
No, including the croaking frogs by the pond, he still had a companion friend.
Next to Lin Qianxuan's bed in the bedroom was the computer he brought from his apartment.
Almost every two days, Lin Qianxuan would turn it on to see if the String of Destiny icon had relit.
With the new month, naturally, he had to check it again.
While casually picking up the brewed Spirit Tea, Lin Qianxuan glanced at the computer he had turned on.
The icon had lit up again!
Whether to say it was unexpected or not?
Lin Qianxuan sighed, calmly clicked the game icon.
The silver-white String of Destiny intertwined and transformed, rendering changes on the screen.
In the next moment, the game's background appeared.
This time seemingly in a grand ancient architectural square.
In the void, silhouettes hovered, seemingly with distant figures circling in layers, at least tens of thousands.
The game character stood at the forefront.
Curious about whom they were encircling, Lin Qianxuan followed the screen toward the center.
With one glance, Lin Qianxuan was stunned.
Silver hair, golden eyes, a white long dress, the familiar face...
Wasn't this Jiang Mengli whom he had seen before?
Why always old acquaintances?
Could she be the Daughter of Destiny?
Please don't let her be!
[You traveled; the location you traveled to is the Spirit Qi World. You learned from Human Dao that Jiang Mengli in Spirit Qi World was being hunted due to obtaining a treasured item, so you decided to offer help. You followed some cultivators hunting Jiang Mengli and tracked her presence, now witnessing the dissipating Destiny Qi on her, finding it hard to believe she became the Daughter of Destiny, but you still resolved to aid her...]
