Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 493: Chapter 19: Saying NO to the Asura Battlefield Chapter 493: Chapter 19: Saying NO to the Asura Battlefield Thus, Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian made a pact to seek clues about the Xu Family traitor when they had free time.

Of course, not today, after all, the ancestral ceremony was imminent.

Even before the ceremony had begun, visitors from the Kunlun sect to the Golden Ridge Cave Abode arrived in an endless stream, leaving not even a spot to step on at the entrance of their abode.

One was a newly minted First Grade Golden Core True Person, and the other was a new Foundation Establishment Realm Chief Disciple; any Kunlun Cultivators with discernment could see that this pair of Daoist Companions was destined for limitless prospects.

Thus, Golden Core Realm Cultivators came to visit Qiu Changtian, to make an appearance; Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators came to curry favor with Xu Yinglian, to get acquainted with her.

Together, they made up at least eighty to ninety percent of the entire Kunlun, clogging the entrance of the Golden Ridge Cave Abode so tightly that it was understandable.

From morning to night, both of them were receiving guests, Qiu Changtian was already accustomed to being sought after and flattered, but the cold-natured Xu Yinglian was rather intolerant and almost felt the urge to explode by the end.

Fortunately, as the day turned to evening, the waiting guests finally took leave, planning to find another opportunity to visit again.

“Phew.” Xu Yinglian lay back on the stone bed, tiredly looking at the ceiling of the cave abode, mumbling, “Why is this so exhausting?”

Qiu Changtian sat beside her, looking at her slender and undulating figure, resisted the impulse to measure her contours with his hands, and simply smiled gently,

“Junior Sister, you are now the Foundation Establishment Realm Chief Disciple; you’ll eventually have to get used to such matters…

and there will be even more trifling issues in the future!”

Xu Yinglian fell silent for a moment before saying,

“I thought that after becoming a High Rank Cultivator, at most I would only need to take on disciples.”

Xu Yinglian let out a feeble groan, turned her back, and said no more.

“Who would have expected that Junior Sister also has things she is not good at handling,” Qiu Changtian chuckled, “I thought Junior Sister would tackle all difficulties head-on.”

“Don’t make snide remarks.” Xu Yinglian was slightly embarrassed and unhappy, “It’s not that I’m not good at handling things; I just very much dislike certain matters.

Don’t you, Senior Brother, have things you dislike?”

Qiu Changtian paused.

Wait, of course, I have things I dislike; it’s just that I can’t recall them at the moment.

What could they be?

“Sigh.” Inside the Sea of Consciousness, the Kunlun Mirror spoke softly, “Have you pretended for so long that you’ve forgotten what kind of person you are?”

“Are you sympathizing with him?” the Green Duckweed Sword asked quietly.

“Of course,” the Kunlun Mirror sighed, “after all, it is my responsibility.”

“He has become accustomed to wearing layers upon layers of masks to the point of forgetting what he looks like beneath them.”

“That’s precisely why it’s my responsibility to help him remove all those masks after he completes his task and return to his true self.”

The Green Duckweed Sword pondered for a moment and agreed.

If a person continuously pretends to be a certain persona for ten, twenty years, they will inevitably confuse that persona with their true self.

Chen Guanshui’s problem is even more severe as he is playing many personas simultaneously, to the extent that there are vague signs of a split personality-naturally, the earliest sign is the forgetting of one’s true self, which is an extremely dangerous signal.

When he truly completes his mission to mend the heavens and can return to being himself without the need for further pretense, will he still remember his true self?

No worries, even if you can’t remember, they will help you to remember.

Under the immense pressure of the Asura battlefield, Chen Guanshui is bound to awaken his long-dormant innate consciousness, thereby discovering his most primal, most authentic self.

At this thought, the Green Duckweed Sword too began to feel moved by the plan of the Kunlun Mirror.

Rest assured, Guan Shui!

After you save the world, we will save you!

Qiu Changtian was unaware of the plans of the mirror and the sword, he simply chatted idly with Xu Yinglian deep into the night before they both entered into meditative concentration.

Several days later, the ancestral ceremony finally began as scheduled.

The Daoist Shushan Shangqing Faction and Penglai Jade Pure sect, the Buddhist Bodhi and Prajna Temples, the Confucian White Deer Grotto Academy, as well as many sects from the Nine Provinces, countless guests arrived at the Kunlun Heavenly Pillar, guided by the Kunlun Cultivators up to the Jade Void Palace.

Qiu Changtian had originally thought his network was sufficiently extensive, but now he realized it was merely confined within the Three Pure Ones and Six Paths.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have known there were so many cultivators from other factions in the world.

“Amitabha,” the abbot of Bodhi Temple, Elder Fa Kong, chanted a Buddhist invocation and walked towards Qiu Changtian alongside the Ziwei Master.

“How is it?” Ziwei Master asked with a smile, his demeanor like that of a proud father introducing his excellent son.

“Promising and capable,” Elder Fa Kong also chose his words carefully.

Years ago, Buddhists liked to praise people with “having wisdom roots,” but it gradually became clear that when many high monks said you had “wisdom roots,” they often contemplated shaving your head.

Therefore, people grew to dislike hearing this term, and the Buddhists used it less and less.

Ziwei Master didn’t seem to have any intentions of continuing the introductions, but rather escorted Elder Fa Hua into the main hall.

Xu Yinglian had just finished dealing with a group of disciples’ greetings and finally found a moment to come over and said:

“How is it?

Met many seniors of the cultivation realm?”

“Not many,” Qiu Changtian said with a wry smile, “there are too many big shots, simply can’t remember them all.”

“It seems you don’t like socializing either,” Xu Yinglian said with a coy smile.

Qiu Changtian shook his head, then suddenly heard a voice nearby:

“Chief Qiu?

Oh, now I should call you Changgeng True Person, right?”

Hearing this voice, Qiu Changtian felt a sudden tightness in his heart.

Shi Liuli!

It was her?

Oh, the ancestral ceremony had invited guests from Penglai Jade Pure, so Shi Liuli coming with Elder Shi Ding was indeed a normal occurrence.

“Long time no see,” Xu Yinglian said with a faint smile.

The last time they met, she was just Qiu Changtian’s Junior Sister and had an unpleasant altercation with Shi Liuli, the starstruck junior.

???G?.??

Now, she was Qiu Changtian’s Daoist Companion and could be said to have won a complete victory.

Therefore, Xu Yinglian felt there was no need to adopt an overly harsh attitude against Shi Liuli again, as that would seem a bit demeaning – from this, it was clear her emotional intelligence was much higher than Senior Sister An’s.

Miss Shi, seeing her smile, instinctively felt annoyed.

But annoyance aside, she was not impulsive enough to provoke the Foundation Establishment Realm’s Chief Disciple of Kunlun on Kunlun’s own territory, so she just snorted disdainfully and turned away.

Seeing that Miss Shi actively avoided conflict, Qiu Changtian also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If the two had really clashed here, he definitely would have stood on Junior Sister Xu’s side…

but that would certainly mean becoming enemies with Shi Liuli.

Luckily, thanks to my great fortune, I directly avoided the creation of an Asura battlefield!

I’m truly impressive!

“Look, isn’t it infuriating?” the Kunlun Mirror whispered secretly.

“So he’s afraid of Asura battlefields,” the Green Duckweed Sword also chuckled, “Then shall we bring on more next time?”
