Chapter 1 Unease

Gazing at the yellow dragon soaring from the turbulent sea of clouds, Mu Longcheng felt a sense of unease.

Although there was no concrete evidence, he vaguely sensed that he might have fallen into someone else's scheme.

Moreover, the person scheming against him was far beyond his own realm, capable of concealing it from his 'heart's blood.'

Even, he had a hidden worry in his heart.

Was his unease also fabricated by someone else?

"If I can't avoid it, then I won't..."

Seeing the giant dragon approaching, Mu Longcheng cast aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, straightened his clothes, and pushed open the door.

Whoosh!

The surging airflow and astral winds from above swept down, stirring up large swaths of dust and fallen leaves.

A clamor arose within the Marquis's residence, and the entire Marquis City was in an uproar, with countless people looking up at the sky.

Chen Du was the capital of a vassal state, gathering visitors from all directions and the nation's elite, including many cultivators.

However, Chen had been peaceful for a long time, and even some older cultivators could not remember the last time someone had arrived at the capital on a giant beast.

"Who comes?!"

Amidst the swirling airflow, figures soared into the sky from within and outside the Marquis's residence, trying to stop the newcomer.

They were extremely fast, their steps accompanied by thunderous sonic booms, but they returned even faster.

While their voices still echoed, they were pressed back by an invisible but substantial wave of air, staggering and almost falling to the ground.

Looking at each other, they couldn't help but feel horrified.

Because in this back and forth, they had seen nothing and felt nothing.

The force they exerted had acted upon themselves without any leakage.

It was as if they had struck their own chests with all their might, feeling so uncomfortable that they almost vomited blood.

"Withdraw!"

As the group was about to step forward, Chen Baxian's deep voice came from inside the residence.

He stepped through the lingering airflow to the front of the residence, glanced at the white cloth lanterns hanging down, and said with a cold and unfriendly tone:

"Today is the seventh day memorial for my daughter. It is inconvenient for the Daoist priest to visit at this time."

The churning clouds, soaring yellow dragon, and unseen figure had already caused alarm throughout the city. There was no need to say more about the Daoist's cultivation.

But Chen Baxian was not afraid.

Da Yong had its own laws. Those who disobeyed the nobles would be condemned by all.

Not to mention this Daoist, even people from the 'Wuji Magic Dao' would never dare to brazenly attack a noble of a kingdom.

Without such deterrence, how could Da Yong have stood in the world for seven hundred thousand years?

"Heh heh heh!"

First came laughter, and then everyone saw the silver-haired Daoist at the low-hanging cloud.

The Daoist's hair was as white as an old man's, his face was as fair and rosy as a young man's, and his figure was as slender as a youth's.

At first glance, there were many different feelings.

The old saw him as old, the young saw him as young, and the youth saw him as a youth.

In a trance, everyone felt that there was no Daoist on the cloud.

Instead, there was a tall bronze mirror, so bright it could reflect people.

Yet there was an unspeakable charm that made people addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves.

"A thousand faces in one person?"

Before Chen Baxian could speak, Zhou Wenyu's expression had already changed: "The Yu Mo Dao (Desire Demon Dao)?!"

Da Yong received the grace of heaven and established the Dragon Cliff kingdom seventy or eighty thousand years ago. At that time, there was a struggle between immortals and demons, and many powerful figures blocked the way.

The Yu Mo Dao, Wuji Mo Dao, Blood Demon Dao, White Bone Dao, and other major demonic sects were among them.

At that time, the Da Yong Emperor was blessed by heaven and possessed superb supernatural powers, and his subordinates were also full of experts. However, he was still forced into desperate situations several times!

Even the disturbances that had occurred in the Da Yong Dynasty for hundreds of thousands of years had the shadow of the Yu Mo Dao and other evil sects!

"Yu Mo Dao?!"

The enshrined guards outside the Marquis's residence all changed their expressions upon hearing this.

Most of them were cultivators, so how could they not have heard of the Yu Mo Dao's name?

"One should know one's own stupidity."

The cloud lowered even further, landing three feet above the ground amidst everyone's apprehensive atmosphere.

The silver-haired Daoist chuckled lightly and looked at Chen Baxian, bowing:

"Yu Yu of Dongji Mountain pays respects to Marquis Chen!"

"Dongji Mountain?"

Chen Baxian frowned, watching with some suspicion.

Dongji Mountain, ordinary people may never have heard of it, but he seemed to have heard the name before.

But he couldn't remember where he had heard the name after thinking about it, and shook his head after a long silence, saying: "It's not you."

Daoist Yu Yu nodded with a smile: "Thirteen years ago, this poor Daoist was unable to split himself, so it was this poor Daoist's grand-disciple 'Gao Shan' who came to the Marquis's residence to make an agreement to accept a disciple."

"May I ask, Daoist priest, who is your teacher?"

Chen Baxian suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Months ago, my son already entered the 'Xuan Du Sect'..."

"Xuan Du Sect?"

Daoist Yu Yu chuckled dumbly, but didn't say much. He just asked Chen Baxian to reach out his hand and gently drew on his finger.

Huh?!

Zhou Wenyu was the closest, but even he couldn't see what character the Daoist priest wrote on his lord's hand.

And then, the Marquis's expression changed several times, from doubt to shock, and finally, he rarely showed a smile.

He opened the central gate wide and received the Daoist priest into the mansion with the highest level of courtesy.

Then, after a grand banquet, he allowed him to take away the young master 'Chen Xian'.

……

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

The clouds surged and the wind howled.

The yellow dragon soared through the sea of clouds. As its body rose and fell, the mountains on the earth flashed by.

Its speed was countless times faster than it appeared.

But even under this rapid flight, the dragon's back was very stable, not to mention Mu Longcheng, a martial arts expert who had reached the most subtle level of control over himself.

Even an ordinary teenager would not shake at all.

"Dongji Mountain..."

Looking at the Daoist standing with his hands behind his back at the dragon's head, Mu Longcheng frowned slightly, pondering the Daoist's origin.

Unfortunately, he had only been in this world for a short time, and most of the people he had contacted were secular people, so he could not figure it out after thinking about it.

But he naturally knew that this Daoist Yu Yu had a mysterious origin, and even a very great background.

Otherwise, Chen Baxian would not have handed over the person so readily.

"Are you wondering about my origins? Guessing why Marquis Chen was so respectful after being so arrogant, allowing me to take you away?"

While Mu Longcheng was pondering, Daoist Yu Yu, who had not spoken to him since entering the mansion, spoke.

He looked up coldly, but the silver-haired Daoist had already turned around and smiled lightly: "This poor Daoist has always felt disgusted by those who speak vaguely and mysteriously since he was a child. I have always been a very straightforward person."

Whoosh~

He casually threw down two futons, signaling Mu Longcheng to sit down.

The latter naturally had no fear or worry and sat down calmly.

Daoist Yu Yu raised his long eyebrows slightly. With his aura, not to mention ordinary teenagers, even few of the Da Yong nobles dared to be so casual.

He couldn't help but praise slightly: "With such a state of mind, it's no wonder you are a visitor from another world!"

"Hmm?"

Although Mu Longcheng was surprised, he was not flustered. He didn't answer, just looked at the Daoist quietly.

Before coming, he had thought of all kinds of possibilities, including the possibility that he might have been exposed.

But he knew very well that since the Daoist hadn't blasted him to death from afar, then naturally there was a place where he could be useful.

"No need to be surprised, no need to worry. The world we are in values ​​the accommodation of all things, embracing everything. You are not the first visitor from outside the world, nor will you be the last."

Daoist Yu Yu's attitude was open and frank, or perhaps he didn't care at all, and said lightly: "The world is vast, and there are no less than eight thousand people who can figure out your whereabouts. But since this poor Daoist is here, they naturally won't come."

"This poor Daoist cultivates in Dongji, comprehends Dao in Yuan Dongtian (Primal Cave Heaven), and my teacher is, Yuan Dongtian Zun (Primal Cave Heaven Lord)! Although Chen Baxian is only a small local noble, he still recognizes the character 'Yuan'."

"Heavenly Lord?"

Hearing these two words, Mu Longcheng finally moved.

Worlds may be different, but the meaning of some words is common.

The same thing, some people call it Dao, some call it Heaven, the meaning is different, but as long as you understand, you will know what it is.

Heavenly Lord!

Mu Longcheng believed that no matter what kind of world, those who dared to use these two words as a title must be the supreme and noble existence in that world.

Especially, in a world with gods, immortals, and a true heaven!

Surprise, fear, doubt...

The turning of various thoughts was only a moment, but Mu Longcheng had a sudden realization, could it be that the one who schemed against him was this...

The thought arose and disappeared immediately. Mu Longcheng had extremely strong control over his mind. It seemed that Daoist Yu Yu's voice had not yet landed, but he had already regained his composure:

"With my insignificant body, how could I attract the attention of the Heavenly Lord?"

"Heh heh."

Daoist Yu Yu smiled slightly: "How could it be an insignificant body that can attract the attention of the Heavenly Lord?"

Hearing this, Mu Longcheng could only shut his mouth, but his heart sank.

He had only been in this world for seven days, but someone had been waiting for him for thirteen years, or even longer.

He knew very well what this meant.

"But I don't know what the scenery outside the sky is like. In this poor Daoist's life, I have crossed the heavens and hell, but I have never been to 'outside the sky'."

Daoist Yu Yu sighed, his eyes looking at Mu Longcheng.

Mu Longcheng had already closed his eyes and didn't answer at all.

His strength was inferior to others, and he had already completely fallen into someone else's scheme. This was a bad start, and naturally he couldn't reveal more.

Being controlled by others was the thing he couldn't tolerate the most.

"Why be so resistant? Whether it's this poor Daoist or the Ancestral Master, if we really wanted to harm you, why would we have to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to personally 'welcome' you?"

Daoist Yu Yu said, raising his hand and tapping the dragon horn, which was like a towering tree:

"Well, let's go back to the mountain and talk about it!"

Roar!

The sound of the dragon's roar resounded through the sky, even more like a substantial primordial energy cannon, directly piercing the fragile void.

In the next moment, an endless desolate aura rushed towards him.

Mu Longcheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked down, seeing that on the boundless land, billions of peaks were like a forest, and endless vegetation was connected to each other, until the end of the world.

At a glance, it seemed that giant beasts were roaming among the mountains, large birds were soaring in the boundless sea of ​​clouds, and even giants were carrying mountains and walking, singing heroic songs...

"Fellow Daoist from outside the sky..."

Daoist Yu Yu stood on the dragon's head, with clouds and purple light reflecting his body:

"Welcome to, Dongji Mountain!"
