Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you

Above the clouds!

Ever since the young girl Ling Yueer stepped into the Spiritual Land, she felt that this Spiritual Land was somewhat different from other places.

The air was filled with a surging Mortal World Qi.

It was the scent of bustling liveliness.

This piqued her interest.

She listened closely.

Soon, she understood the source of this bustling liveliness.

"Uncle Liu, I hear the voices of all living beings below; there's a Hundred Sects Grand Ceremony happening in this Spiritual Land recently."

"It's said that hundreds of Sects in the Spiritual Land are recruiting Disciples together, making it a grand event that occurs once every hundred years in the Spiritual Land."

"These past few days, all the Prodigies of the entire Spiritual Land will gather at Mount Tian."

As she spoke, her bright, sparkling eyes seemed eager, saying, "Why don't we go take a look together!"

Uncle Liu shook his head, looking quite uninterested.

"Saintess, it's just a small Sect of a one-star force recruiting Disciples, though the number sounds like a lot."

"In terms of Disciple quality, any True Disciple from our Nine Clouds Sect could easily turn these so-called Prodigies into dust!"

"In terms of Peak strength, the strongest in the Spiritual Land is merely a Three-Revolution Pseudo-Immortal Realm expert."

"People like that are a dime a dozen in our Sect!"

"What's there to see?"

"Oh, Uncle Liu, I know you're very strong, a Four-Revolution Pseudo-immortal Realm expert, and you look down on their strength."

"Just come with me to watch the fun!"

Ling Yueer pleaded, shaking Uncle Liu's arm.

"Alright, alright, stop shaking! You're going to shake my old bones apart!"

"I'll go with you, alright?"

Uncle Liu said, half-helpless, half-doting.

Hearing this, Ling Yueer finally let go, her eyes curving into crescent moons, and two shallow dimples appearing on her face.

She exuded youthful vitality.

"I knew Uncle Liu was the best!"

"Oh..."

The originally nonchalant Uncle Liu suddenly let out a surprised sound.

His gaze fixed directly on one spot.

"What's wrong, Uncle Liu!"

Ling Yueer followed Uncle Liu's gaze and saw a large group of dark figures swiftly flying across the sky in the distance.

These people were Zhong Qing and his group, hurrying from Wenxian Sect to Mount Tian!

"Is there anything special about them?"

Ling Yueer asked, a little puzzled.

"I originally thought that a barren land like this wouldn't have many Geniuses, but now, I find that I was somewhat biased!"

"Saintess, did you notice that little child!"

He pointed to Qilin Xiao Hei, who had transformed into a human form.

Ling Yueer nodded.

Uncle Liu's gaze was deep, with a hint of strangeness.

"In my early years, I stumbled upon a fragmented ancient book by chance and gained a slight understanding of bone-reading techniques."

"That child has prominent bones, with the appearance of swallowing the mysteries of the sun and moon; this is a Qilin bone!"

"Those with Qilin bones generally have excellent talent and are even known as Qilin Children."

"This person's talent, even within the Nine Clouds Sect, would likely display extraordinary abilities."

"Earlier, I thought that this barren land would hardly produce a Prodigy worth noticing, but I didn't expect that I was biased."

"If the Saintess is interested, you could take this person under your wing and Cultivate him; if he grows, he might be able to provide some assistance to the Saintess in the future."

This made Ling Yueer a little surprised.

She knew how discerning her Uncle Liu's eye was.

Very few among the younger generation received his praise.

She herself was being Cultivated by the Sect as an Immortal talent.

Those who could keep up with her in the future would have to at least Cultivate to above the Seven-Revolution Pseudo-immortal Realm.

In other words, Uncle Liu believed that the little child could Cultivate to the Seven-Revolution Pseudo-immortal Realm.

However, despite her surprise, she said softly, "Uncle Liu, these people are making such a big fuss; it's clear they're Disciples from a Sect coming to recruit."

"Perhaps that child is their Sect's future Dao Child."

"How can I take away someone else's beauty?"

Uncle Liu said sternly, "Saintess, you are mistaken!"

"The path of Cultivation is a struggle against heaven, against earth, and against man."

"If you don't fight, how will Opportunity come? If you don't fight, how will you achieve Immortal Ascension?"

"The law of the jungle is the ultimate truth of the world!"

"Even this Hundred Sects Grand Ceremony, in essence, is a monopolistic struggle for Disciples by the local powerful forces."

Ling Yueer shook her head, "Uncle Liu, there's no need to say more!"

"The Great Struggle Dao is indeed the most common Dao in the Cultivation world."

"But this Dao is not suitable for me!"

"If a Sect more powerful than the Nine Clouds Sect came to take me as a Disciple, I wouldn't be willing, and neither would the Sect."

"They all say, 'Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you.'"

"How can we act in a way that bullies the weak?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Liu immediately gave a wry smile.

He knew that although the Saintess sometimes had a girlish demeanor, she would not back down an inch when it came to matters of principle.

This made him both relieved and a little worried.

He was relieved that the Saintess's character was indeed commendable, but he was worried that in this treacherous Cultivation world, such a personality could lead to significant losses if she wasn't careful.

However, he ultimately decided to respect the Saintess's opinion!

While a Qilin Child was rare, there were still Prodigies within the entire Nine Clouds Sect who could rival a Qilin Child.

Moreover, although this talent had a truly impressive upper limit, how many could truly grow to that level?

Furthermore, they had other important matters to attend to on this trip, so there was no need to create unnecessary complications.

Thinking of this, Uncle Liu said no more.

On the other side!

Zhong Qing, who was traversing the clouds, sensed it when Uncle Liu, as mentioned by Ling Yueer, swept his gaze over their group.

Although the two sides were countless miles apart, his senses were extremely keen.

Their conversation was perceived by him without any loss.

At first, when he heard that the other party had thoughts about Qilin Xiao Hei, he was ready to set a trap.

But the subsequent turn of events was somewhat beyond his expectation.

It had been a long time since he entered the Cultivation world.

During that time, he had seen all sorts of people.

But those who could maintain their original intention and integrity were truly rare.

This woman was the first to say, 'Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you.'

Such people are even rarer in the Cultivation world than pandas were in his previous life.

He couldn't help but take another look at the other party.

Ling Yueer on the other side sensed it and returned a kind smile.

That sweet smile seemed especially infectious, especially the two dimples on her face, which reflected a crystalline light under the setting sun, as if holding two cups of fine wine that could ripple into one's heart, making one feel a certain fondness.

Feeling this kind smile, Zhong Qing also nodded in acknowledgment.

Then they went their separate ways, disappearing into the vast Mount Tian in the blink of an eye.
