Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 57: Transverse Rift Valley

Transverse Rift Valley, its length, width, and depth were unknown. It was filled with clouds and mists all year round. Birds couldn’t fly across it, and falling stones made no sound.

The Rift Valley also ran across the southernmost part of the South Li Kingdom and West Savage Kingdom, which was also the southernmost part of the entire continent.

It was named valley, but the one who named it must be mistaken. Looking from the perspective of ordinary people, this was actually a cliff.

Qin Yi asked Liu Su, “Stick Stick, have you been there?”

“I don’t know where it is, I have never heard of such a place. I had been staying in the mountain for tens of thousands of years. How could it still be the same as I was then? I have only been to the place that you went.”

“Hmm…” Qin Yi had only been to 3 places: Immortal Track Mountain, a nearby county, and Li Fire City. He even forgot the name of the county.

Qin Yi went into Ye Ling’s room. Ye Ling was lying and training on the bed with a small quilt. Seeing Qin Yi coming in, she blinked her eyes.

Why are you here at such a late night?

Qin Yi grinned and picked her up, “Let me bring you to a good place.”

Ye Ling cast an idiot’s gaze, “What’s so good about that good place?”

“Okay.” Qin Yi sighed, “Go Transverse Rift…”

Ye Ling turned around and was about to run, but Qin Yi caught her by the back of the collar. Her feet flopped in the air twice, but she couldn’t move.

Qin Yi wondered, “Have you been there before? Why so scared?”

“I grew up above the Transverse Rift Valley, and I never went down.” Ye Ling sniffled, “But just thinking about it makes me scared…”

Qin Yi said, “Have you ever thought that none of us know your beastkin cultivation method, and you will probably stay on your current level forever if you train on your own. But this place probably has the things you need. Maybe it’s a code or… maybe your clan?”

Ye Ling was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes gradually became brighter.

It is indeed possible.

The girl summoned up endless courage and said with her hands on her hips, “I’m going!”

Qin Yi put a talisman on her back with great comfort. Ye Ling had recovered from her injuries in the past 2 days. Her actual combat power was definitely the first in the South Li Kingdom other than Ming He. If he didn’t lure her along, he would be a fool…

“Huh, what is this?” Ye Ling reached out to touch the talisman on her back, but she couldn’t.

Qin Yi slowly put one for himself, “Divine Speed ??Talisman.”

Although South Li Kingdom was small, from Li Fire City in the northeast to Transverse Rift Valley in the southernmost, it was not possible to get there in a day or two. Even if he rode a horse, it would take several days. Qin Yi himself never thought that the Divine Speed ??Talisman was used to hurry his journey instead of running away in times of crisis.

Speeding on the road, Qin Yi really felt what it felt like to be “light as a swallow”. He jumped more than 10 meters in one step as if the world had lost weight. He ran like a car with 2 legs.

The tao spells in this world are so interesting.

Now I’m not only eager to learn, but I’m even very interested. Whether it is crafting talismans, refining pill, array formation, or internal pellet cultivation, all these make me addicted.

I’m just afraid that I don’t have enough energy to learn so much.

But speaking of it, I’m pretty awesome. I have just started not for long, and I have already dabbled in a wide range. I can even craft the grade 8 talisman…

While he was lost in his thoughts, Ye Ling’s voice sounded in his ears, “What kind of crap this talisman is? I can fly even faster than this.”

Qin Yi staggered and almost fell.

Ye Ling spread her wings and disappeared instantly.

“Damn…” Qin Yi chased after her desperately. Tears streamed down his face.

While running on the road, the sun gradually rose. Li Qingjun didn’t sleep all night, and she walked out the door with swollen eyes.

As soon as she walked out of the crown prince mansion, she was stunned for a moment.

Li Qinglin walked towards here slowly under the protection of several guards.

His gait was a bit stronger, not as staggering as he was a few days ago, but the medicine Qin Yi made for him had some effect these days, stabilizing his qi and blood.

".

“Why are you here?” Li Qingjun wondered, “Don’t you go to court today?”

“The court is canceled today.” Li Qinglin smiled, “Going out for a walk is also beneficial to the smooth flow of blood.”

Li Qingjun nodded, everyone is a warrior and knows this truth.

Li Qinglin looked a little weird, “Why did you come out here? Could it be that you’ve already done that with Qin Yi…”

“No…” Li Qingjun said, “You came to see Qin Yi? He said that you can’t take too much of that pill. Eating more will be detrimental to you.”

Li Qinglin fell silent. He said after a while, “Nothing, just want to chat with him. You know, there are not many people whom I can speak my mind.”

Li Qingjun stared at him and sighed secretly.

She knew that her brother had always been conflicted in his heart. He came to Qin Yi not necessarily because he had something to say, but because Qin Yi could make him feel that he was closer to cultivating to be an immortal. He came to see Qin Yi subconsciously. However, after meeting, he wouldn’t talk about cultivating to be an immortal. The words were choked in his throat every time he wanted to say them.

She had seen it several times.

But she doesn’t think her brother was ridiculous. She could really understand it if she put herself in his shoes.

Including hearing that in the past few days, his brother’s temper had become violent in the palace. He often scolded the maids and eunuchs. Although she didn’t like his brother’s behavior, she could understand his anxiety. She just hoped he could get out of this mental state as soon as possible.

“You don’t need to look for Qin Yi anymore.” She finally said, “He…”

Li Qinglin was startled, “He’s gone? Can’t you keep him?”

This attitude made Li Qingjun a little sad, “Is that how you see Qin Yi?”

Li Qinglin’s expression changed a few times, and his tone became eased, “Qin Yi is an outsider. His essence is not much different from Ming He. Maybe he is very brave as a friend, but he has no belonging or affection for South Li Kingdom. For South Li Kingdom, his mentality is always a spectator. I have been wondering for a few days whether he will leave.”

“So you gave him the position of State Preceptor, gave him rich rewards… and my marriage, just to keep him?”

Li Qinglin sighed, “I know he doesn’t care about that, but what else can I do?”

“Even if you keep him, so what?” Li Qingjun sighed, “He can refine pill for you? So that you can delay aging, or… achieve immortality?”

Li Qinglin’s pupils narrowed slightly.

“He is gone, but he went to the Transverse Rift Valley, the dead land, to dispel your curse.” Li Qingjun said faintly, “He really has no feelings for South Li Kingdom, just like Ming He who watched the ups and downs of South Li Kingdom, but he has the feeling of being a person. He won’t just watch you and I fall.”

Li Qinglin’s expression changed again, and he put on a smile, “Qin Yi is indeed a true friend.”

“You two may not be friends.” Li Qingjun said slowly, “But he is my husband .”

Li Qinglin stared at her for a while, then he suddenly smiled, “You have grown up.”

After speaking, he turned around and left slowly.

Watching him leave, Li Qingjun tightly grasped her sleeve. There was a cultivating code given to her by Qin Yi.

She remembered Qin Yi’s words before leaving, “I don’t know how it will go or when, so we can’t pin all our hopes on this. If Brother Qinglin can’t help but want to cultivate… then give this to him. It’s better than him practicing the rubbish method left by Dong Huazi.”

She sighed softly and walked back into the mansion wearily.

Ming He was watching her from behind.

Li Qingjun didn’t like Ming He.

Although she said that she didn’t object Qin Yi being together with Ming He… What she didn’t like was not this aspect, but that Ming He’s eyes always made her uncomfortable.

Like a pair of eyes overlooking from above the clouds; staring at South Li Kingdom indifferently, at Li Qinglin, at Qin Yi, at her, Li Qingjun; watching the joys, angers, and sorrows of each of them, just like flipping through a series of storybooks. Finally, these observations turned into her own comprehension.

Li Qingjun sometimes had a malicious thought… If one day you fall into the world of mortals yourself, I wonder what will you look like!

The sun rose and the moon set. Another 2 days had passed.

Qin Yi finally came to the Transverse Rift Valley.

There was a vast mist in front. The opposite side and the bottom of the valley couldn’t be seen through. It was ethereal and boundless.

Qin Yi took a deep breath, squatted on the edge of the cliff, and wanted to unfold the map to see the location.

Liu Su suddenly said, “The so-called Transverse Rift Valley turns out to be this place?”

“Huh?” Qin Yi asked thoughtfully, “Have you been here?”

“Of course.” Liu Su said in a strange tone, “Because I’m the one who… caused this rift valley.”

Qin Yi staggered and almost fell to the bottom of the cliff.
