94: What if all the causes and effects are imposed on me?

After Jiang Qingchen left the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, he did not return to the Sect, but walked in the opposite direction.

After leaving Wenxian City, he rode a crane and spent half a day to arrive in Xuan City.

Xuan City in Yu Province is relatively remote compared to other cities, with thin Spiritual Qi, and the strongest in the city is only at the Peak of Naling Realm.

Looking at the bustling streets, Jiang Qingchen's mood relaxed a lot; familiar places, familiar aura.

This was his hometown in this world.

The Jiang Family was one of the major Families in Xuan City.

It's just a pity that the Jiang Family had long become history.

Jiang Qingchen walked alone towards the Jiang Family ruins, his mood becoming much heavier.

Back then, everything happened too suddenly; the Jiang Family was annihilated overnight.

That was one hundred and eighty years ago.

Jiang Qingchen remembered very clearly that it was precisely the day he was jilted!

By the time he heard the news, it was already too late.

This was also one of the reasons he established Sun Moon Tower.

He felt that if he had controlled the information at the first instance, the Jiang Family would not have been annihilated.

Later, after investigation, he discovered the shadow of the Saintess behind it, who bribed assassins to carry out the extermination of the Jiang Family.

As for why she would do this, Jiang Qingchen was not clear, but he did have some guesses.

It was highly likely due to the marriage contract.

Soon.

He arrived at the Jiang Family ruins.

Looking at the shattered Jiang Family, his mood became much heavier, and he remained silent for a long time.

If it weren't for him, perhaps the Jiang Family would still be one of the most powerful Families in Xuan City.

Heaven seemed to sense the sorrow in his heart, and suddenly a heavy rain began to fall.

Just like that, Jiang Qingchen stood in the rain for a full half an hour.

"System Maid, after a person dies, does that trace of true spirit really exist in the long river of time?"

Jiang Qingchen suddenly asked System Maid.

System Maid was silent for a moment before replying: [It does exist!]

Jiang Qingchen continued to ask: "Then how can I enter the long river of time? And how can I find that trace of true spirit?"

System Maid seemed to guess Jiang Qingchen's thoughts and prompted: [Host, everything is predetermined. The cost of wanting to revive the dead is too great. I advise you to give up!]

[Moreover, even if you find their true spirits, you may not be able to revive them!]

Jiang Qingchen suddenly smiled strangely: "Heh heh heh, I never believe in destiny; I only believe in miracles!"

"System Maid, just tell me. No matter how great the cost, I will do it!"

System Maid quieted down.

She did not answer him immediately.

Perhaps, it was re-evaluating its Host!

After a long while.

It slowly said: [The long river of time runs through ancient times, the present, and the future. To enter the long river of time, your Cultivation must at least surpass Dao Revered Master!]

[Otherwise, no matter how strong your Physical Body is, if your Cultivation doesn't increase, you won't be able to find the long river of time, let alone enter it!]

"Dao Revered Master? What Realm is that?" Jiang Qingchen frowned slightly; this was completely beyond his scope of knowledge.

System Maid replied: [There's no need for you to know now; you will know in the future.]

[Alright, I cannot reveal too much, otherwise Karma will befall you!]

"Heh heh, even if all Karma befalls me, I will definitely enter this long river of time!" Jiang Qingchen said coldly.

Perhaps he was afraid of being entangled in Karma before, but now he only wanted to revive the Jiang Family members. So what if all Karma fell upon him!

He was fearless!

He glanced at the System space, where a pile of gift packages had accumulated again, and he chose to open them without hesitation.

"System Maid, open all gift packages. Rewards not exceeding Saint-Grade should be directly placed in the space without prompting."

System Maid said: [Okay, Host, opening gift packages for you now!]

[Ding, a total of 608 gift packages opened, obtaining Grade Nine Medicinal Pill Soul-Locking Pill * 1, three lives coffin * 1]

[Ding, obtained countless Spirit Pills, Spirit Medicine, and spiritual materials, which have been categorized and placed in the space backpack.]

[Ding, obtained Cultivation reward of 675 years.]

Jiang Qingchen looked at the introductions of the Soul-Locking Pill and the three lives coffin in surprise.

Soul-Locking Pill: Can lock any soul or spirit that has not left the body after death, preserving a sliver of possibility for revival.

three lives coffin: Can protect the holder's life essence, even in extreme circumstances, it can preserve the holder's last breath. It can also protect the owner's corpse from decay, nourish the corpse, and allow the corpse to achieve Dao in an alternative way!!

Although these two items were of high Rank, they seemed a bit inauspicious.

This couldn't help but make Jiang Qingchen frown again, only hoping they wouldn't be needed!

"Extract all Cultivation!"

He withdrew his gaze and began to extract Cultivation!

System Maid: [Okay, Host]

A dense Spiritual Qi entered his body, flowing through his Meridians to his entire body, tempering his Physical Body.

Streams of powerful Qi and blood aura overflowed, staining the surroundings red.

Rumble!!

The sky suddenly rumbled, and silver Dragons ripped through the firmament.

"Alas, still no good?"

He felt that only his Physical Body had become stronger, very strong. If he wanted to, he could easily break through the world's barrier.

But what good was being strong? His Cultivation still remained at the Nine levels of Body Refinement Realm.

He was a little disappointed; his Cultivation still showed no signs of any Breakthrough.

After a long time, he left with a sense of loss.

Only the pouring rain and howling wind raged!

...

[Ding, main quest to accept a Disciple triggered: Accept one Saint-Grade Aptitude Disciple. Time: Half a month.]

As soon as he returned to the Sect, the System once again prompted him to accept a Disciple.

Another half a month.

Such a short time; it didn't seem to intend for him to rest!

Truly a life of toil, working like a bull and a horse!

Helpless, he could only accept.

Not long after.

As soon as he returned to Wudao Peak, a figure rushed over.

"Revered Master, you're back!"

The moment he saw the person, Jiang Qingchen froze in place, rubbing his eyes hard, thinking he was seeing things.

Overalls!

Middle part!

He was also holding a ball-like object similar to a basketball!

This, this, this... was this role-playing?

He couldn't quite believe that this was his second Disciple, Mu Buyu!

Seeing Jiang Qingchen's stunned appearance, Mu Buyu chuckled, spinning the ball in his hand on his fingertip.

"Revered Master, how about it, am I handsome?"

"Uh..." Jiang Qingchen's forehead was covered in black lines. How was he supposed to evaluate this? Going out like this would definitely get a 100%Return Rate; he'd at least be called a handsome guy!

"Handsome is handsome, but why are you dressed like this?"

"Heh heh, Revered Master, this is what the two Sacred Artifact Spirit Senior said. They said that doing this would help me comprehend the [Dao of Music Immortal Scripture] faster." Mu Buyu responded with a smile: "I spent two days specially getting this outfit!"

The Spirit said?

Jiang Qingchen's mouth twitched, and he immediately understood. So it was the overalls and the Kun Kun ball causing trouble. No wonder he hadn't seen this guy around for the past two days; he was busy getting this stuff.

"Alright, as long as it's useful to you!"

He didn't know how to evaluate it, but as long as there was no harm, it was fine!

He looked around the rest of Wudao Peak, didn't see Ye Fojian's shadow, and then asked in confusion: "Where's your Senior Brother?"

Mu Buyu replied: "Oh, him? He seems to have gone out!"

"Is that so..." Jiang Qingchen felt a bit strange. He should have gained something from his Epiphany. Shouldn't he be in seclusion to comprehend it now? Why did he think of going out?

However, he didn't think much of it.

This was good too, saving him a headache!

He hadn't seen Qu Zhiyin in a long time recently, and he wondered if she was still angry.

"Buyu, has your Senior Martial Uncle Qu been here recently?"

"Replying to Revered Master, Senior Martial Uncle Qu has already left the Sect. I heard she went out for experience!"

"Gone out?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Qingchen was helpless. He had originally wanted to give her some Cultivation resources and a few pan tao fruit to help her improve her Cultivation!

"Alright, Buyu, you should also hurry up and Cultivate. Revered Master still has things to do, so I won't accompany you!"

Jiang Qingchen reminded Mu Buyu, then returned to his residence!

As for Mu Buyu, he happily practiced his ball-dribbling motions!
