Who Taught You To Cultivate Immortality Like This?

Chapter 75: The Disappearance of Daoist Sounds

For 99.9% of cultivators, cultivation is an extremely difficult task. There are countless cultivators like Daoist Qingyun who have spent half their lives and achieved only this level of cultivation.

But don't be fooled by Daoist Qingyun's humility in front of Master Caiwei.

In the Daoist temple, he is the strongest and most respected master. In the Immortal Cultivation World around this area, many people address him as Qingyun Perfected Being.

Even in the prestigious households of Xichuan City, he is treated as an honored guest.

The social status of a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Fourth Realm is still quite impressive.

It's only when disciples from Taiyi Sect and Kunlun Sect come that Daoist Qingyun appears ordinary.

You can imagine the "wealth gap" in the cultivation world.

"I have a few questions that I would like to ask Daoist Qingyun for more details." Master Caiwei was quite practical and didn't bother with pleasantries. He asked his questions right at the entrance of the Daoist temple.

In fact, the information was limited. Daoist Qingyun had already reported everything he needed to report, and he didn't have any additional information.

After a series of questions, there were no new discoveries.

"Let's go to the village first, goodbye." Finally, Master Caiwei made a Daoist bow.

"Does the immortal need this old Daoist to accompany you?" Daoist Qingyun asked.

"No need, you are the core of Qingyun Temple and should stay there. The disciples in the temple still need your protection. We'll go." Master Caiwei politely declined Qingyun Perfected Being's request.

Daoist Qingyun slightly lowered his head and watched the four of them leave. After they were gone, he looked into the distance, his gaze flickering.

The village where the incident occurred was a bit far from Qingyun Temple. Xu You and the others didn't choose to fly, but instead flew over the surface of the ground.

Zheng Qiang and Zhang Wei were in front, while Xu You and Master Caiwei walked side by side behind them.

Along the way, Master Caiwei's gaze occasionally fell on Xu You, who was by her side. She was in Xichuan City and naturally knew about the recent commotion.

As the person involved, Xu You was somewhat curious.

But Xu You didn't notice this at all because he was pondering what had just happened.

Just now, when he arrived at Qingyun Temple, Xu You had a vague feeling that something was amiss, especially when Daoist Qingyun appeared. This feeling became even more subtle.

He knew that this was the perception brought about by his Nine Yang Immortal Technique. The Nine Yang Immortal Technique was inherently strong and sensitive to evil energy.

It seemed that there was something wrong with the temple, so Xu You secretly activated his recently learned Breaking Obstacles Technique.

He could directly see the strange black energy permeating Qingyun Temple, filled with evil energy. He concluded that there was something wrong and improper with the temple.

In fact, he wanted to go in and investigate, but seeing that no one else had any reaction, Xu You didn't dare to act rashly.

At this moment, Zheng Qiang and Zhang Wei, who were flying ahead, seemed to have a tacit understanding and both stopped.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother Zheng?" Master Caiwei also stopped and asked.

"Is it because of the situation at Qingyun Temple?" Zhang Wei looked at Zheng Qiang and asked.

Zheng Qiang laughed heartily and praised, "I've heard that Junior Sister Zhang is the most knowledgeable in divination among the younger generation of Crimson Serenity Peak. It seems to be true.

Yes, I vaguely sensed evil energy in the temple, but I didn't know what it was specifically. It was very subtle."

"I wonder if this kind of evil energy is normal?" Xu You interjected.

Zheng Qiang shook his head. "It's not normal. Qingyun Temple is a orthodox Daoist sect. How could it have evil energy? There must be something strange inside."

"Why didn't Senior Brother go in and investigate, but instead left directly?" Zhang Wei asked.

"The situation in the observatory is unclear. We cannot rush in without first confirming the details in the village and then making a decision," Zheng Qiang explained.

"Senior brother, if there is a problem with Qingyun Observatory, it means that this matter may exceed our abilities. Should we seek help from the sect?" Xu You suggested.

He was a cautious person and didn't easily put himself in danger. Qingyun Observatory clearly had a problem. Who knew if it would be like the incident at Piaoxiang Garden, where they were set up?

To be honest, Xu You was starting to doubt his own abilities.

Other people's tasks were usually straightforward, slaying demons and monsters smoothly. Why did he always encounter these strange and uncertain situations on his missions?

After pondering for a while, Zheng Qiang shook his head and said, "Not for now. Let's handle it ourselves first."

Usually, they wouldn't immediately seek help from the sect in such matters. If all the disciples who were constantly working outside easily sought help from the sect, nothing would get done.

"Just in case, if there are any special circumstances later, I will set up the Four Beasts Formation. Zheng Senior Brother will be in charge of the main formation, which should be enough to hold on until help arrives from the sect," Zhang Wei added.

This was the advantage of Crimson Serenity Peak. Disciples who were proficient in Qimen Divination could use formations to resist unexpected situations with the collective strength of the group.

This was also why Crimson Serenity Peak disciples were relatively popular during group tasks.

Seeing this, Xu You naturally didn't say much. Zheng Qiang and Zhang Wei were obviously experienced individuals.

With such seniors leading the way, he felt at ease. Xu You planned to obediently follow their commands and go with the flow this time.

On the other hand, Shi Caifeng had a confused look in her eyes.

What were the three of them talking about?

Did I miss something?

Why is it that in the blink of an eye, I can't understand anything?

What's wrong with Qingyun Observatory? Where is the evil energy? How did it come to the point of seeking help from the sect?

Shi Caifeng felt out of place. She had become so weak now.

She had just broken through to the fourth realm not long ago and was still full of confidence. But now it seemed like something was off.

She really wanted to ask what was going on, but she was afraid that asking would make her seem foolish. Then the disciples from Kunlun would think that Taiyi Sect was foolish.

Shi Caifeng stubbornly stood there, pretending to understand while occasionally nodding her head to express her agreement.

But the effect was good. At least Zheng Qiang and Zhang Wei believed that Shi Caifeng also knew.

Of course, pretending aside, it was still necessary to express gratitude.

Shi Caifeng clasped her fists and bowed, "Thank you all for your concern."

"As the saying goes, 'One family, two different opinions,'" Zheng Qiang laughed heartily.

The group of four set off again towards their destination.

Qingyun Daoist watched Xu You and the others leave, then closed the gate and turned back.

Clack~

Qingyun Daoist's cloth shoes stepped on a white bone. He casually kicked the bone to the side and scanned the large courtyard with his gaze.

There was not a trace of the tranquility that a Daoist temple should have in the courtyard. No worship of the Dao Ancestor, no incense offerings.

The sound of the Daoist gate had completely disappeared, and the essence of the Dao had crumbled.

As far as his eyes could see, there were only ruins and piles of white bones on the ground, like mountains of corpses.
