Novel Full Chapter 627
Chapter 627: Chapter 55: Searching for Relics upon the East Sea Chapter 627: Chapter 55: Searching for Relics upon the East Sea The present-day Qiu Changtian, though a cultivator at the Golden Core Realm, is a critically important “major figure” of the Kunlun Sect.
If he only moved about within the Kunlun Mountain Range, it would be fine; but going outside, he definitely had to report to the Ziwei Sect Leader.
Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian came to the Scripture Lecture Hall in Jade Void Palace and mentioned their plans to go out for training to the Ziwei Sect Leader.
The Ziwei Sect Leader pondered in silence, an idea subconsciously flashing through his mind:
Why does he want to go out again?
Then he quickly realized: The three stages of the Golden Core Realm-Soul Storing, Root Seeking, and Obscure Weave-represent cultivation of divine sense, body, and soul, respectively.
These cultivations all follow an orderly accumulation, which naturally falls into place, unlike during the Foundation Establishment Refining Mansion stage, where you had to search everywhere for secret medicines like Purple Mansion to augment oneself, but at the end of each stage, there is often a bottleneck, and one can only progress to the next stage by breaking through that bottleneck.
Could it be that Changgeng has already reached Perfection in the Soul Storing Rank?
Thinking this, the Ziwei Sect Leader also felt some excitement, but soon calmed down…
How long had he advanced to the Golden Core?
It had not even been fifty years; how could he possibly jump directly from the Soul Storing Rank to the Root Seeking Rank?
Even climbing the ladder to heaven wasn’t done this way!
“How has your cultivation been lately?” he asked leisurely, seated on the nine-colored lotus platform.
“This disciple reports to Master,” answered Qiu Changtian, realizing what his master was thinking, “my divine sense has already permeated most of the Golden Core, yet it has not reached the state of Perfection.

This time, I am going out to seek the whereabouts of ‘Tai Xiao Thunder’.”
Qiu Changtian’s practice of the Thunder Method was, of course, known to the Ziwei Sect Leader as well.
The first three Thunders: Jade Pivot, Shenxiao, Great Hollow-during the chaotic ancient times, almost everyone could perform a few of these spells, and they can still be found today with dedicated searching; the middle three Thunders: Immortal Capital, North Pole, Tai Yi-back in the ancient times, they were spells that only Thunder Cultivators would master, and now they are basically very hard to find, Qiu Changtian was lucky to obtain the secret scrolls in the East Sea Pavilion.
As for the last three Thunders: Purple Mansion, Jade Dawn, Tai Xiao-in the ancient times, they were extremely profound and difficult to learn even among high-rank Thunder Methods, and nowadays it’s almost certain that they have been lost; whether they can be found at all is a matter of debate.
The value of Qiu Changtian having a lead on the Tai Xiao Thunder goes without saying, and his decision to search for it is quite reasonable.
Had it been earlier, the Ziwei Sect Leader would not have stopped him.
But the last time you went out, you ended up encountering an enemy at the Immortal Rank…
What’s that all about?
How can I be at ease letting you go out again?
The Ziwei Sect Leader pondered once more, thinking that if they really encountered an enemy at the Immortal Rank, that would be an unavoidable risk.
Risks, after all, cannot be completely avoided, unless Changgeng is never allowed to leave Kunlun…
which is certainly not possible.
Otherwise, what to do about the bottlenecks encountered during cultivation?
“Hmm,” he ultimately nodded, “Changgeng, Qiong Ying, your ventures concern the fate of Kunlun.
Be extremely cautious and careful out there, don’t be negligent.”
Seeing that the master hadn’t bestowed any magical treasures this time or arranged any bodyguards to accompany them, Xu Yinglian was almost delighted to the tips of her brows.
So, Master is finally willing to trust the strength of my senior brother and me, content to let us go out alone!
Yet Qiu Changtian was far from as happy as Xu Yinglian, because he knew the Ziwei Sect Leader had completely let go…
Facing enemies of the Immortal Rank, what else could be done?
Sigh, both my junior sister and I are still in the Golden Core Realm.
Why do we always encounter Immortal Rank enemies?
“I understand,” he said earnestly.
“Please rest assured, Master.
I will make sure to return safely with my junior sister.”
Looking at the clearly pleased Xu Yinglian and then to the still respectful and careful Qiu Changtian, the Ziwei Sect Leader slowly sighed.
If it was only Xu Yinglian going out, he would never be at ease, but fortunately, Qiu Changtian was so steady and cautious; hopefully, nothing would happen.
Only after the two of them left the Jade Void Palace did the Ziwei Sect Leader swing his horsetail whisk and start silently calculating with his left hand again.
Though he could never calculate Qiu Changtian’s future clearly, if he didn’t try…
He just couldn’t be at ease.
Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian left the Kunlun, and to be on the safe side (for instance, to prevent being tracked by a spy from the Demon Cult and having their direction discovered), they purposely first made a detour north close to the North Sea, then proceeded east along the coastline, and finally turned back to head south.
As a result, the time spent on the road nearly doubled, but Xu Yinglian did not have any complaints.
Because she knew that her husband had now become a thorn in the side of the Demon Cult, and if they were not more cautious when going out, they might actually meet with a violent death.
Qiu Changtian traveled with his junior sister by sword control, stopping from time to time and occasionally scanning their surroundings.
It took them roughly three to four days to finally reach the domain of the East Sea.
“Junior sister,” Qiu Changtian slowly said, “we have arrived at the East Sea, ask the senior how we should proceed.”
“Senior…” Xu Yinglian sought help from the phoenix within her Sea of Consciousness, only to hear the bewildered response, “The Donghua Sect’s station?
I’ve never been there.
How would I know?”
Xu Yinglian: ?
She immediately felt bewildered and quickly asked:
“But senior, didn’t you assert that it was above the East Sea?
So we thought you…”
“Thought what?” the phoenix said in confusion.
“In my time, everyone knew the Donghua Sect floated more than six thousand zhang above the East Sea, but their station was mobile!”
“After tens of thousands of years, who knows where it has moved to now?”
Xu Yinglian, feeling helpless and at a loss for words, could only relay the situation to her senior brother.
On hearing this, Qiu Changtian nearly lost his composure as well.
Don’t know?
If you didn’t know, why did you say you did before!
Wait, don’t panic!
???G?.??
Think, is there any strategy to break through this situation…
Qiu Changtian quickly suppressed the annoyance in his heart with his strong willpower, and his brain began to work at high efficiency:
“Ah Jing!
Help me!”
“I can’t help,” the Kunlun Mirror said bluntly, “The era when the Donghua Sect was active was exactly when I was asleep and had not entered the world, so I also don’t know where it is.”
Qiu Changtian: ?????
This is bad, I can’t think of a strategy!
This is impossible!
He and Xu Yinglian exchanged looks for a long time before he finally said powerlessly:
“Since that is the case, we can only try our luck.”
As is well known, beyond two thousand zhang in height and continuing upwards, one would encounter the whispering attacks of Heavenly Demons.
This is primarily because, after Nuwa mended the heavens, the majority of the low-mana Heavenly Demons no longer could traverse the Heavenly Dome at will to prey in the Lower Realm as they used to.
Therefore, they could only lie atop the boundary wall of the Heavenly Dome, incessantly bothering any human cultivators who approached the Heavenly Dome, hoping that those with an unstable Daoist Heart would self-destruct, and then they could siphon off the emotions through the Heavenly Dome.
However, Qiu Changtian had Daoist Heart Clarity, immune to all illusion attacks; Xu Yinglian had the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart, highly resistant to illusion techniques.
Thus, the two of them did indeed have the ability to remain at an altitude of more than six thousand zhang for a long time, searching for the location of the Donghua Sect’s relics.
But there was still that problem: the East Sea was vast and boundless.
To find a floating sect relic in the sky above the East Sea, how long would that take?
