The End of the Road

For Zhong Qing, the Mystic Realm held information about his future precious Disciple, so he naturally had to make a trip there.

However, since the Fengtian Hall envoy said so, he must have his reasons.

As for what specific things he would encounter?

At that time, he could only adapt to the situation!

With his methods, he would not actively cause trouble, but he would not be afraid of it either.

Therefore, Zhong Qing decided that three days later, he would depart from Phoenix Feather Sect and head to the Mystic Realm.

After all, all matters concerning the Phoenix Feather Sect had temporarily settled down now.

...

The Fengtian Hall envoys came and went quickly!

As they left, Zhong Qing also began to prepare for his long journey.

It was foreseeable that this trip to the Mystic Realm would likely not allow him to return for a short period.

Many things!

Naturally, he had to prepare in advance.

For example, the Immortal Rank medicine garden in the herb garden had to be taken back.

Also, the Immortal Rank Spirit Beast cub, the Luck Beast, had to be taken with him.

Given the current size of the Phoenix Feather Sect, even if he left, no one in the entire Void Domain could pose a threat to the Phoenix Feather Sect.

After all, Phoenix Aotian had already armed the entire Sect to the teeth.

Besides that!

He also had to bid farewell to some people.

Immortal River Sect!

Ever since the people of Immortal River Sect came to Phoenix Feather Sect, they truly felt incredibly comfortable.

Emperor-Level Cultivation Methods were available for casual viewing, and various Spirit Pills and great medicines could be consumed at will.

The former Sect Master of Immortal River Sect, ever since he came to Phoenix Feather Sect, truly felt as if he had arrived in paradise.

Every day, he ate when he should, drank when he should, and slept when he should, carefree, and his cultivation increased at a visible rate every day.

By now, he was a true Three Yang Realm expert!

The Three Yang Realm, in the entire Phoenix Feather Sect, might be insignificant; more precisely, he couldn't even make it onto the rankings.

But for Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong, this cultivation was already quite high!

After all, what was his cultivation before coming to Phoenix Feather Sect?

Sun Profound Realm!

Now, he had crossed the Earth Profound Realm, Tianxuan Realm, and Sanyin Realm, achieving the Three Yang Realm.

With his current cultivation, if he were to return to the Eastern Domain on the other side of the Chaotic Demon Sea, he would be more than enough to dominate.

Moreover, even though his cultivation was very low in the entire Phoenix Feather Sect, who didn't treat him with respect, who wouldn't give him some Face?

During his time in Phoenix Feather Sect, he found that he had gained more than ten pounds.

This showed how comfortable his life was.

This day!

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong was enjoying a small drink in his courtyard, reminiscing about the past and imagining the future.

Zhong Qing's figure appeared beside him.

“Sect Master!”

Zhong Qing cupped his hands and bowed to Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong.

For this person, Zhong Qing held great respect deep in his heart.

If it weren't for this person's repeated protection, Zhong Qing believed that he might not have been able to persevere until the System's Disciple bond was activated.

After all, the intrigues in the cultivation world were not just talk.

One careless mistake, and people could truly die.

It was precisely because of Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong's favoritism and protection towards Zhong Qing back then.

No matter how high Zhong Qing's future achievements would be, or how far he would go, he would always be an elder in Zhong Qing's heart.

Seeing Zhong Qing, a smile that couldn't be hidden appeared on Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong's Face.

“You're here!”

“Want to have a drink together?”

Zhong Qing smiled and said, “Sure!”

The two sat on stone stools in the courtyard, and after clinking cups, Zhong Qing said, “Sect Master, are you accustomed to life in Phoenix Feather Sect?”

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong hummed a little tune leisurely, and after finishing it, he laughed and said, “I eat well, sleep well, and my cultivation can rise rapidly just by eating and drinking. Such a life is truly joyful and carefree; I wouldn't trade it for an Immortal. What's there not to be accustomed to?”

Zhong Qing refilled his cup again: “I came here this time to bid farewell to the Sect Master!”

“That's a good thing!”

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong laughed and said, “A man should aim for the four directions!”

“You are still young, so you should go out and see more while you are young.”

“Don't be like me, idle all day, losing ambition and smoothing out edges. Now my biggest wish is just to live off others until I die!”

At this point, he drained the wine in his hand and sighed, “Time really flies fast!”

“In the blink of an eye, you, who were once like a small transparent in Immortal River Sect, have now made something of yourself.”

“Not only did you break out of the Eastern Domain, but you even crossed the Chaotic Demon Sea and established this vast foundation in the Chaotic Land.”

“If your Master knew of your current achievements, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would crawl out of the underworld, secretly regretting that he died too early and couldn't enjoy the good fortune.”

Mentioning Daoist Nai, Zhong Qing also felt a bit melancholic.

After all, he was the person who treated him best after he came to this world.

Strictly speaking, the person he should be most grateful to in this world was Daoist Nai.

What a pity!

The tree desires stillness, but the wind does not cease; the child desires to care, but the parent is no longer there.

Who would have thought that the other party would leave the world directly before his rise?

...

This day, Zhong Qing and Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong talked a lot.

From Zhong Qing's initial arrival at Immortal River Sect to his current achievements.

There were good things, and there were bad things.

There were happy moments, and there were sad moments.

Memories were like a dish, paired with a pot of wine.

Thousands of flavors surged in their hearts, and the bittersweetness within was truly hard for outsiders to describe.

In the end, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong drank himself into a stupor.

He kept muttering incoherently.

“I have lived half my life in vain, and my greatest pride in this life is being able to be your Sect Master!”

“Now that I think about it, all of this truly feels like a dream!”

“Who would have thought that our Immortal River Sect, a second-rate Sect from a small place, could produce a True Dragon.”

“Zhong Qing, our generation lacks natural talent and insufficient Comprehension Ability; our achievements in this life are destined not to be too high.”

“I know your identity is extraordinary.”

“Our only hope now is for you to quickly recover your Peak, advance further, and explore the end of that Dao!”

Hearing this, Zhong Qing couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

These people still mistakenly thought he was an Immortal Emperor's Reincarnation.

However, it was fine to misunderstand; explaining it would only make it more unclear.

It was the end of that Dao that made Zhong Qing's heart stir.

He couldn't help but look up at the sky.

He unconsciously took a gulp of wine, his heart moved inexplicably.

The end of Dao?

For others, this was undoubtedly a very distant term.

Dao is endless!

Even an Emperor, even an Immortal, who would dare to say that they could reach the end of Dao with all their life's effort?

But Zhong Qing was different.

The System was his greatest reliance.

Relying on the System's power, he indeed had the qualifications to touch that Domain.

It's just that, even with the System, this might require a very, very long time to pursue.

Previously, Zhong Qing was eager to improve his strength.

But he didn't have a specific and clear sense of direction and goal.

He always felt that being able to protect himself was enough.

But now, he really wanted to see what the end of Dao would look like?

Is it an Immortal?

Is it a God?

Or something else?

At this moment, a seed seemed to be planted in Zhong Qing's heart.

That was the seed of a dream.

A famous person once said that if a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?

Now, Zhong Qing seemed to have found his pursuit after coming to this world.

This pursuit might be very difficult!

But the road is long and arduous; I will strive upward and downward to seek.

Sometimes, being able to pursue what you like is also a kind of happiness.

The sun set in the west, and the lingering rays were like blood!

A figure, illuminated by the setting sun, was stretched very, very long.

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong, with sleepy eyes, only felt that the shadow contained an inexplicable Qi, and he vaguely seemed to see a great existence being born!
