Every Continent had its movements, and the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect in the South Heaven Continent felt much the same in their hearts as the other Dao Sects.
After all, the South Heaven Continent was the closest to the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.
How many prodigies had recently appeared in Profound Heaven, the Cultivators of the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect here had all seen with their own eyes.
Among the new generation of disciples, there were also pillars, and in the middle stream, there was a fairly large batch of Void Illumination Realm Cultivators.
The Sword Lineage alone was enough to prop up the Sect's facade.
Not to mention, although unpleasantness occurred within the Dao Sect, the strength of the Law Enforcement Lineage was likewise not at the bottom.
Going further down, it was likewise extraordinary. Having many Golden Core and Primordial Spirit Cultivators was secondary; the more crucial point was something else.
If judged by the length of time since entering the Sect, this generation was actually the current one, but alas, the next generation of newborn prodigies had already begun to show their brilliance on the land of the Eight Desolations.
The space left by the Eight Desolations provided room for these Golden Core geniuses to display their talents.
It also allowed countless eyes at that time to see some people with great Qi Fortune.
Qi Fortune had its grades of three, six, and nine. People with great Qi Fortune were often influential figures of past years. As long as they did not suffer an untimely death and fall midway, achieving Void Refinement was not a problem, and stepping into Dao Seeking had three-tenths more possibility than ordinary people.
What was more, perhaps after stepping into Dao Seeking and putting one foot on the path ahead, they could see the scenery of a dead end on the road ahead.
Among them, the people with great fate that appeared in the Profound Heaven Dao Sect numbered at least several.
Getting one person was already a pleasant surprise, getting two was a heavenly gift, and getting three was envied by the heavens, yet it still could not compare to how the fate of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect seemed to be favored.
The next generation of disciples was similarly brilliant, completely devoid of any situation where the older generation faded before the younger could take over or a lack of subsequent strength.
Not to mention, the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect had recently been bogged down by various matters.
Regarding the matters of the Eight Desolations, the matter of a Dharma Body of the Immortal Sect Leader perishing into the heavens and earth.
There was also another figure, not coming from the Demonic Path, but that Golden Feather Old Ancestor of the Golden Feather Sect.
Outsiders did not know the background of the Golden Feather Sect, but for them, it was not a problem. However, the harder problem was that the Sect disciples needed to pacify the grievances of the earth veins. These piled-up tasks consequently shortened their cultivation time.
This was still secondary; the particularly crucial point lay in the Dao Questioning Immortal Cauldron.
This was truly a matter that shook the Foundation of the Immortal Sect. It did not go as far as heavily injuring its vitality, but losing a Sect-suppressing Dharma Treasure was a loss that no faction could afford.
In contrast, the Profound Heaven Dao Sect to the south saw its fate rising steadily day by day. With such a comparison, it was no wonder why the Cultivators of these Wen Dao Sects felt a trace of imbalance and frustration.
However, these had nothing to do with Lu Qing. Although it was the upheaval of heaven and earth he caused by opening his Daoist abode, the subsequent ripples were entirely generated spontaneously by the situation of the Nine Heavens Cultivation World.
Ever since ancient times, apart from the Immortal Dao, the Six Paths of the Cultivation World also began to slowly raise their heads, gradually displaying the foundational vitality of their own Dao.
Heaven and earth were ruthless; the fate birthed by those tribulations in the Eight Desolations and the starlight fate descending from the stars outside the heavens likewise merged into the Six Paths, only differing in amounts.
The Spirit Dao and the Divine Dao were originally close to heaven and earth, or were creatures born directly from heaven and earth, naturally receiving a trace of heavenly favor.
After all these things came to a close in the Eight Desolations, a new chapter appeared instead.
Lu Qing glanced outside and saw that the scenery remained the same. After completing this final step, he could be considered to have put down the matters here.
As for the commotion outside, Lu Qing's cultivation was not a dead seclusion; naturally, he knew clearly that leaving the native territory of the Dao Sect meant he still needed to be cautious outside, after all, there was no Sect Great Formation to protect him here.
Yet thinking of this Sect Great Formation...
Lu Qing's own attainments in the Dao of Formations had advanced by leaps and bounds, yet he still dared not assert that he could find a corner of the Formation to enter.
"So, how on earth did that demonic Cultivator who landed when I first entered the Dao Sect run in?"
Lu Qing did not doubt that there were mighty figures within the Demonic Path; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to still occupy a piece of the Four Directions Land after the catastrophe.
Regardless of how that Four Directions Land was, the Demonic Path's base camp was over there, yet the Immortal Dao side had not annihilated the demonic Cultivators' lair, which in itself represented a problem.
However, what he could not figure out was that the demonic Cultivator who came in back then died very easily. A Primordial Spirit demonic Cultivator could strut around in certain places, but entering the native territory of the Dao Sect counted as walking right into a trap.
"I wonder how that Demonic Sect Formation Master managed it, or could it be that the previous Sect Formation was not personally set up by that First Seat?"
Lu Qing suddenly recalled his past experiences at this moment also because he was naturally laying down a Formation within his Daoist field now. Although he could sense visitors in his heart, placing a Formation here would also benefit Azure Heart Mountain.
Lu Qing's sleeves flickered slightly, and his palm lifted a streak of golden light. This streak of golden light quickly left his hand, landed on the surface of the ground, and then sank beneath the earth.
It transformed into a Great Formation with complex textures and countless profound mysteries, embedding itself into this place.
The Daoist abode was complete. Lu Qing looked at the plaque and casually carved a few spirit patterns upon it, "From now on, let this place be called the Wuqing Abode."
Lu Qing was not good at things like names and honorifics; it was just that during his cultivation, he internalized heaven and earth and gave birth, deriving his own Dao from the void and nothingness.
The Dao was born from the void and came from nothingness, so he picked the character 'Wu'. As for 'Qing', it was naturally his own given name. Thus, this was used as the name for the newly established Daoist abode here.
After handling these trivial matters, if there were no necessary matters next, Lu Qing would naturally still focus primarily on cultivation. The heaven and earth outside the Dao Sect here gained a hint of natural Qi.
The Void Illumination Realm was likewise divided into three realms. Lu Qing stepped into the first realm of Void Illumination Realm, taking the first step of transforming and falling into the Dao.
The Dao Seal fell into the River of Time, and at this time, his own True Spirit would actually not easily fall into that tragic state where the True Spirit was plunged back into the Reincarnation Nether Sea, and in the next life, the True Spirit would remain ignorant and sinking, failing to obtain Immortal affinity.
It was just that as for being completely free from oneself and transcending the Nether Sea, or rather the worldly Reincarnation in the nether, until now, Lu Qing had never heard of any records regarding this.
He did not know if no one knew, or if there were other hidden circumstances.
The White Crane Boy played by the lake at the foot of the mountain for a while. After seeing the commotion transmitted from the mountain, hearing those commotions in the firmament, and seeing the illusory phantom anomaly of Lu Qing, he quickly reacted and flew back up shortly after.
"Congratulations on opening the Daoist abode! Lu Qing, you are too amazing."
As soon as the White Crane Boy flew up, he showered him with praises.
In the blink of an eye, his black pupils moved, and he saw that patch of sun, moon, and stars filling his field of vision, circulating endlessly with magnificent brilliance.
"Too perfect! Could the sun and moon imprints here be projections of the Inner World?"
The White Crane Boy's eyes shone. Seeing the tall building in front of him, he praised a few times, but upon seeing the trace of starlight, sun, and moon imprints appearing in the firmament above, he was extremely astonished.
"Indeed."
"Awesome, too awesome." The White Crane Boy no longer knew what to say.
His head was not big, and usually he was not very attentive to matters of cultivation.
But he also knew that being able to project the Inner World's imprint and manifest it in this heaven and earth was an extremely formidable skill.
Thinking of his own not-too-big abode, compared to Lu Qing's heaven and earth, there was somewhat the difference between an Cave Dwelling and a heaven and earth.
"Right, Lu Qing, can spiritual fields still be cultivated here? The lake water here is too nourishing; using it to irrigate spiritual fields will definitely make them grow better."
"I want to open up a few plots of spiritual fields by the lake shore. I feel that if the Spiritual plant seeds I brought out before are not used, it would be such a pity."
The White Crane Boy said with some regret.
After all, this place was too big.
Although the scope of the lake could not compare to the shore of the East Sea he had once seen flying around, unexpectedly, the lake water here was also filled with a wispy, thriving natural Qi.
Ordinary people might feel that this trace of Qi was not quite enough for cultivation.
But from the perspective of needing to irrigate spiritual fields day after day, the lake water here was simply a lake formed by naturally falling spiritual rain.
"It's fine, Child, if you like it, just go ahead and do it." Lu Qing glanced at this expanse of lake water.
There had once been a Divine Dao Dharma Treasure's Seal hidden here. After the Seal gradually weakened, in the collision between that trace of Immortal Dao Seal prohibition and the Divine Dao Dharma Treasure's aura, the lake water here indeed gained an aura of uprightness and nature.
However, since the White Crane Boy had this mind, there was no need to worry too much about leaving the spiritual fields to him.
After all, this was the place where he opened his Daoist abode; wisps of Dao Rhyme auras flowing down were enough to nourish these spiritual fields.
However, the White Crane Boy had a carefree and innocent nature, so he should naturally just do whatever he wanted to do. Although placing spiritual fields in a Daoist field might seem to other Cultivators somewhat lacking in the grand atmosphere of the Immortal Dao Immortals.
Even planting some Spirit Herbs or divine medicines would be fine, but Lu Qing felt no one would come before him to say such words.
"That's fantastic!"
The White Crane Boy was full of enthusiasm. Having arrived at a new place, he naturally had a sense of curiosity about everything he saw.
