BOSS Transmigrates as a Little Cutie - Chapter 147: Return
Chapter 147: Return
Since the Sacred Dao Sect was in charge of the ascension channel, it had an extremely strong appeal to the entire continent. Moreover, the attraction of the cave of a cultivator who had lived for more than ten thousand years was unspeakable, especially when the Sacred Dao Sect admitted that they had not explored the Hidden Cloud Valley before.
The devil Qing Yun’s infamous reputation is on a par with his divine medical skills. With the Hidden Cloud Valley opening, it is unknown how many people suffering from complex illnesses would like to go in and try their luck.
Although there are no restrictions on who can explore the Hidden Cloud Valley this time, as long as they hold the token issued by the Sacred Dao Sect, they can enter, but the number of tokens is still limited, and most of them are concentrated in the hands of the major sects.
The Sky Origin Sect was an upper-middle-class sect, and there were about twenty disciples participating in this event. Originally, Qing Yun’s master, Daoist Mo Zhen, was supposed to lead the team, but that old Daoist ran off somewhere and simply gave his identity token to Qing Yun when he gave him a token, so that he could lead the team for him.
A sect that doesn’t even have a leading elder will naturally be ridiculed by the neighboring sects.
The disciples of the Sky Origin Sect had not yet climbed onto the back of the beast when they heard an old man’s laughter in mid-air: “Are you juniors from the Sky Origin Sect? There is no elder to watch over you. Your sect leader is quite negligent. Why don’t you let me give you a ride?”
Immediately after, the old man rolled his sleeves, and a gust of wind came. The Sky Origin Sect disciples, who had only achieved foundation establishment, immediately turned pale and looked at the Alchemy Sect elder sitting on the magic weapon above them with resentment in their eyes.
At that moment, a sword qi met it and directly dispersed the qi of the Alchemy Sect’s elder. The sword qi touched the edge of the Alchemy Sect’s magic weapon before dissipating. The Alchemy Sect’s elder turned pale and looked in the direction from which the sword qi came.
“No need to bother the elder, Yun Qing has been ordered by his master, Daoist Mo Zhen, to lead the Sky Origin Sect disciples to the Hidden Cloud Valley.” A clear and cold voice came along with the sword qi, instantly causing the eyes of the Sky Origin Sect disciples to light up.
“It’s senior brother Yun!”
A gentle sword qi immediately sent the Sky Origin Sect disciples waiting below onto the back of the Green-winged Cloud Roc. Then, a white-clothed figure also landed firmly on the back of the beast and sat down on his knees.
The Green-winged Cloud Roc was ordered to take off and soon left the Alchemy Sect’s magic weapon behind.
Looking at the one in front of him who not only broke up his sword qi, but also ignored him, the elder of the Alchemy Sect was furious, but he still could not do anything about it.
He had heard that Yun Qing, a genius disciple of the Sky Origin Sect, not only quickly entered Golden Dan but also had the ability to fight beyond the rank. Sure enough, this junior, who was only in the middle stage of Golden Dan, was able to easily break his own powerful qi.
This high-profile appearance of the Sky Origin Sect also drew the attention of the rest of the sects in the sky.
The female disciples of the Persian Silk Tree Sect flew past in a red silk carriage and spoke, their eyes glancing at the young man sitting at the head of the Green-winged Cloud Roc.
“What a handsome little brother. Why don’t you come to our Persian Silk Tree Sect instead of staying in the Sky Origin Sect? The sisters of the clan will surely treat you well.” These words made the women laugh even more happily, and the elder who said this was even more daring, directly flying to land on the Green-winged Cloud Roc.
However, who would have expected that the long sword on the lap of the white-clothed young man would flash, and the halo of light would block the elder of the Persian Silk Tree Sect back without any mercy.
Qing Yun could not help the corners of his mouth from flashing a smile. He placed his fingers on the sword and stroked it. The man has recently been holding back a lot, and his jealousy is getting stronger and stronger.
The female elder, who was already in the late Nascent Soul stage, did not feel offended but instead had a flash of interest in her eyes.
The Persian Silk Tree Sect elder just wanted to go forward again but was stopped by a man’s voice: “Hong Yan, when you see a man, you still call him brother. You are already hundreds of years old, you are too shameless. This look is scaring nephew Yun Qing!”
It was a middle-aged-looking cultivator dressed as a scribe, who came with a team of disciples.
Qing Yun saw the appearance of this middle-aged scribe and finally clasped his fist and bowed. This man was an elder of the Heavenly Pure Sect and had always been good friends with their Sky Origin Sect.
“I haven’t seen you in a few years. Nephew Yun’s cultivation has grown a lot, so you should take this opportunity to have a good sparring session with our sect’s Qing Chen!” When Qing Chen’s name was mentioned, the elder stroked his beard with great pride, while the young man behind him also looked at Qing Yun with wariness in his eyes.
Although Qing Yun was incognito, he was not too restrained because if he wanted to have exchanges with the Sacred Dao Sect, he would end up surprising people. Therefore, with the name of genius from the start, it will not cause much suspicion in the end.
However, Qing Yun also has a sense of measure. The brightness he displayed was still within what people could expect. Although the growth rate of his cultivation is considered a top genius, it is not much different from the geniuses of the rest of the sects.
Qing Chen, mentioned by the elder of the Heavenly Pure Sect, is just another genius with heavenly spiritual roots.
Unfortunately, his surname is Qing. Qing Yun glanced at Qing Chen and did not respond to the fighting intent in his eyes. These elders are just walking dolls in his eyes, so how can he have a desire to fight with a brat who has just reached adulthood?
Controlling the Green-winged Cloud Roc to slow down, Qing Yun acted like an elder first while secretly checking the voice transmission of the Heavenly Pure Sect and Persian Silk Tree Sect elders.
Both of these people are Nascent Soul figures. In this world, the cultivators below the Nascent Soul cannot step into the world of the strong.
Just as now, although the Sacred Dao Sect has released a mission for people to go to the Hidden Cloud Valley to look for something, this mission has a very different message among Nascent Soul and above cultivators compared to their disciples at Golden Dan.
The two elders’ secret voice transmission proved this.
“Hey, Yuzhen, you’re only at Nascent Soul stage. You can’t be planning to do that too?” Hong Yan, an elder of the Persian Silk Tree Sect, asked first.
Elder Yuzhen’s face remained unchanged, but a glint of light flashed in his eyes: “So what if it’s Nascent Soul stage? Since it’s ascension-related, we have to make plans early. Since there is a chance to get the original soul back, we have to put up a fight!”
Original soul? Hearing the conversation between the two, Qing Yun hooked the corner of his mouth. The so-called original soul is the source of the soul. Originally, when he was alive, he had never heard of anyone successfully ascending. But now, there are several examples of ascension, all through the ascension channel of the Sacred Dao Sect, and rumor has it that if you want to ascend, you must get the original soul.
The mockery at the corner of Qing Yun’s mouth intensified. It is impossible to ascend in this world because there is no such thing as the immortal world. The ascension is just a lie put out by the Heavenly Dao. I’m afraid those who ascended have long been swallowed up by the Heavenly Dao.
As for why the person to ascend has to obtain the original soul himself, is there some trick to it?
“The Sacred Dao Sect has put out the news that as long as you get something with Qing Yun’s aura, you can exchange it for a chance to capture the original soul, but what exactly that thing is has not been made clear. Besides, that old devil has long been dead for hundreds of years. Where can we find him something with his breath?” Hong Yan pretended not to have a good temper, but in reality, she was prying into Yu Zhen’s mind.
Yuzhen seemed like he had gotten some news and looked calm compared to others: “All this will be known when we get to the Hidden Cloud Valley.”
Hong Yan instantly caught the difference in tone in Yuzhen’s words. Her gaze flickered for a moment, and she asked: “The reason why the Sacred Dao Sect came up with such a task, is it really possible that Qing Yun is still alive?”
These two people talked back and forth, neither expecting a junior at Golden Dan stage to listen to their conversation nor did they guess that the master of the Hidden Cloud Valley in their words was not far from them.
From the conversation between the two, Qing Yun put together the message released by the Sacred Dao Sect. The Heavenly Dao could not figure out whether he would return or not, so they set up this situation to lure him in.
After all, Qing Yun will definitely come to get back the soul source. If he gets the soul source, he will not have any concerns about the Heavenly Dao, and then the Heavenly Dao will be at a complete disadvantage.
Even though he knew it was a trap, he was finally going to face the Heavenly Dao head-on, so how could Qing Yun escape. But the Heavenly Dao will not be able to find him easily from these people. Qing Yun wants to thoroughly muddy the water.1
As long as he is still alive, how could it be so easy to get something with his aura?
A sneer flashed in Qing Yun’s eyes. I’m afraid the Sacred Dao Sect will be busy with their feet this time.
With that, he knocked on the sword body of Ming Yan and transmitted his voice: “After entering the Hidden Cloud Valley, transform into the body of the Ming Yan sword and sneak into the sword room of the Hidden Cloud Valley in front of all the people.”
Upon hearing these words, Ming Yan immediately issued a sound, obviously extremely dissatisfied. The man’s aggrieved voice instantly rang out in Qing Yun’s mind: “Baby, you’re not really going to give me to the Sacred Dao Sect, are you?”
Ming Yan is now more annoyed at how he became a sword. Not only can he not get any benefits, but he also has to leave his baby’s side?
The next second, the man’s body directly appeared, wrapping his arms around Qing Yun’s waist and sitting behind him, with an obvious rogue look: “I don’t care, everything else is fine, but don’t make me leave you!”
The strange thing is that all the people present did not notice anything wrong around Qing Yun, and they continued to talk to themselves. The sword on Qing Yun’s lap also remained steady there, without any change.
Qing Yun grabbed the man’s hand that had entered his top and reprimanded him angrily: “Are you stupid! You can think of transforming into a physical body to do such a thing, but you can’t think of directly creating a fake sword body?”
“……” A certain man who accidentally exposed his IQ again was silent and could only rub the side of Qing Yun’s neck again to beg for mercy. Who made him care too much about his baby? Besides, Ming Yan knows that Qing Yun’s purpose of returning to this world is not only to get back the soul source, but also to kill the Heavenly Dao and become the enforcer of the rules of this world in the true sense.
However, the Heavenly Dao has completely mastered this world. The Heavenly Dao has been plotting to devour Qing Yun since he was first born, which made Ming Yan worry more about Qing Yun in this world.
At this time, the people from different sects happened to pass by the rebuilt Qing Hong Sword Sect below, and the atmosphere was all silent for a while.
The mountain top of the Qing Hong Sword Sect was still empty, with only a few people returning. After all, the Qing Hong Sword Sect has been gone for too many years, and the disciples in the sect have also joined other sects.
But perhaps the last sect leader was too deeply rooted in the hearts of people that there are still disciples of the Qing Hong Sword Sect who have always kept their origins in mind. Now, the ones who have returned to the sect are already the descendants of more than just the first few generations of the original disciples.
“To be remembered by the descendants ten thousand years later, Ling Yan Sword Fairy is indeed worthy of her name.” Looking at the situation below, Hong Yan uttered an exclamation.
“It is said that at that time, Ling Yan’s self-explosion directly blocked the joint attack of seven sects, and even the second Sacred Dao son was also seriously injured.” Yuzhen sighed, obviously admiring the legendary woman. Still, he shook his head and said, “But Ling Yan harboring Qing Yun is wrong. Who does not know the offenses committed by Qing Yun? There are enough to make people want to kill him by a thousand cuts. The tragic event of the Su family being wiped out is still frightening to mention today.”
Hearing Yuzhen’s words, Hong Yan did not respond, and there was even a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth. The destruction of the Su family? It’s the group of cultivators that tarnished Qing Yun’s reputation!
But behind Elder Yuzhen, there were several disciples with hatred on their faces, gritting their teeth and saying, “Qing Yun destroyed my Su family. If he hadn’t been killed by Sacred Dao son, I would have personally taken off Qing Yun’s head after I have reached the Tribulation stage!”
This hatred spread instantly, so much so that the gaze of these few Su family survivors looked at Qing Chen of the same sect with a bad look.
At this time, several disciples also began to whisper about what happened to the Su family back then, and the words were more than a little disrespectful to Qing Yun.
Ming Yan turned his head and swept over the group of brats, narrowing his eyes dangerously. Qing Yun in his arms subconsciously caught the name “Ling Yan”, and he looked down towards the Qing Hong Sword Sect. Qing Yun’s impression of the Qing Hong Sword Sect has been blurred, and the current Qing Hong Sword Sect is also very different from the past.
On the towering main peak below, a red flame burned fiercely. This fire has been burning for ten thousand years. It is the soul fire left by Ling Yan when she blew herself up.
No one could have imagined what kind of power this Mahayana stage woman had to block the siege of three strong people at Tribulation stage.
Qing Yun stared at the flame and suddenly remembered that when this woman pushed him into the spatial rift, she said something to him, but the time was so long ago that he had forgotten what she said.
“Don’t look!” The man behind him reached out overbearingly to block his view, and the sourness in his words was practically overflowing.
Seeing that they were about to pass the Qing Hong Sword Sect, Qing Chen of the Heavenly Pure Sect stood up. Then, he knelt towards the main peak of the Qing Hong Sword Sect and kowtowed.
Qing Yun looked at him and just assumed he was guilty.
Because the Qing Hong Sword Sect was also besieged by the Qing family when his father, who was at the tribulation stage, personally followed the second Sacred Dao son to capture him, the sinner of the Qing family.
Ten thousand years have passed, the Qing Hong Sword Sect has changed, and the people who besieged him at the beginning have long since died. As an absolute winner, Qing Yun gazed indifferently at the spot where he had been forced by his own father to drag his crippled body to escape into the spatial rift.
But there was no joy in his eyes because the initial hurt had been planted long ago, and even if the pain had disappeared, Qing Yun couldn’t look happy.
Ming Yan turned his head sideways and kissed his cheek soothingly. Qing Yun used his spiritual power to slowly urge the Green-winged Cloud Roc to accelerate and said softly, “Let’s go, it’s all over.”
This was the first time that Qing Yun was looking at his past journey as an outsider, as if visiting an attraction.
But there was no longer any fluctuation in his heart. The longing for parental affection and the expectation of humanity had long since disappeared in his suffering that stretched over tens of thousands of years.
The group of people soon came to the Hidden Cloud Valley. Qing Yun and the others also met the rest of the great powers above Nascent Soul along the way, who looked like they were all trying to get the opportunity to get the original soul.
There were many heart trembling aura over the Hidden Cloud Valley. At a glance, it is obvious that they are great powers at Mahayana stage as well as Tribulation stage.
All the major sects gathered in the Hidden Cloud Valley, and it is clear that the Heavenly Dao wants to use this to turn the Hidden Cloud Valley upside down.
The guards of the Sacred Dao Sect were telling them the rules of the operation within the Hidden Cloud Valley: “Anyone can take away the items they get in the Hidden Cloud Valley, which can also be used to exchange for various resources with the Sacred Dao Sect. However, those who leave the valley must register what they bring out from the Hidden Cloud Valley. Those who violate the order……”
The guard’s words had not finished when they suddenly saw a black shadow flashing over the Hidden Cloud Valley. It was clearly a black sword with fierce sword qi cutting through the sky, issuing a threatening sword sound to the people outside the valley, seemingly defending the Hidden Cloud Valley.
“It’s the Ming Yan Sword!”
“Once the Ming Yan Sword is out, that old devil Qing Yun must also be there!”
In an instant, several powerful auras surged out from all over the Hidden Cloud Valley and sped towards the long black sword. It was surprising that there were four strong people at the Tribulation stage who went to seize the Ming Yan Sword. It seems that the Sacred Dao Sect’s temptation this time is really big enough.
The guards of the Sacred Dao Sect immediately took out their sound transmission jade slips: “Report to Your Holiness! The Ming Yan Sword has appeared and is flying towards the sword room in the southeast of the Hidden Cloud Valley!”
At the same time, the grass and trees moved, and even the outer peaks of the Hidden Cloud Valley were split open, which is obviously a phenomenon of the operation of the formation in the Hidden Cloud Valley.
Now, the mysterious and unparalleled Hidden Cloud Valley has finally opened its gates, like a giant beast opening its mouth with sharp teeth, to welcome all ill-intentioned offenders.
