Chapter 171 Cangjie
Qi Yu’s trip to Guixu this time obviously yielded far more than he had initially expected.

This time, not only did he achieve his original purpose of going to Guixu, but he also gained many insights into the Dao from the perspective of Hunyuan and witnessed a corner of the true mystery of Hunyuan. For his practice, this was a huge benefit and it could offset many years of hard work.

In addition, Qi Yu had earlier obtained the authority over water transportation in the Netherworld Black Water Abyss, and had some gains when discussing Taoism with the two Heavenly Masters of Fengqi Mountain. With all these things added up, it is no exaggeration to say that Qi Yu has now completed the accumulation, and at this moment, he is once again on the verge of being beheaded.

Of course, if one wants to have a solid foundation, one cannot rush into a breakthrough. This is why Qi Yu chose to go into seclusion and integrate his many gains.

Anyway, although the situation in the East China Sea is tense, the overall situation is still under control. Therefore, Qi Yu can go into seclusion with peace of mind, leaving only a trace of his spiritual consciousness outside, which can be triggered by Di Hong and others at the critical moment to officially wake him up.

Speaking of which, during the time when Qi Yu was in seclusion, there were a lot of storms over the East China Sea.

Almost a hundred years after Qi Yu had been in seclusion, Penglai Island and Zulong Court began to mobilize strong men to launch small-scale exploratory attacks.

This kind of probing gradually escalated from the initial harassment by small groups of troops, and slowly evolved into each side having its own Great Sage or Golden Immortal leading their teams, attacking each other.

It was not until a powerful Taoist master in Penglai Island took the first step to take action that the situation escalated again. Now, it has become a situation where the Taoist masters of both sides are fighting each other and the two armies are confronting each other. Only the powerful ones above the great power have not yet taken action, and the decisive battle between the two sides has begun.

There are of course many reasons why both sides have such strong determination. On the one hand, it is because Taiyi clan has already had the will of heaven, and now the confrontation between the two families has already shown some signs of resisting the will. If they really start a fight, it will be even more impossible to end it, and it will inevitably lead to the intervention of the Heavenly Court.

On the other hand, Dong Wanggong and Dragon Mother each have their own concerns. For example, Dragon Mother is afraid of being taken advantage of by the Demon Sect, but also wants to leave a way out for the dragon clan, so her decision-making becomes more conservative. As for Dong Wanggong, he is even more afraid of the Dongji Ancestral Hall, and hopes to use this method to fight against West Queen Mother and wait for the Three Purities to come out.

It can be said that the two sides have reached a tacit understanding invisibly, which also allows Penglai Island and Zulong Court to maintain a basic restraint, and no real war breaks out.

However, even so, the situation in the East China Sea had become a complete mess, and it was getting worse almost every day. In the end, even outsiders like Di Hong were frowning.

As for Qi Yu, after a thousand years of seclusion, he finally came out. Although he still hadn’t killed the evil corpse, his strength had already reached the middle stage of quasi-saint, and he was only one step away.

After coming out of seclusion, he immediately paid attention to the current situation in the East China Sea. It must be said that it was too chaotic. There were wars between the two sides almost every day, and the witch and monster tribes were also involved for some unknown purpose and supported each side.

The demon clan naturally mixed with the Zulong Court again. The relationship between the two sides was not very close, but they did regain contact. Obviously, Di Jun still had ideas about the dragon clan, but he was just restraining himself before. What was somewhat unexpected was that a strong man from the Wu Sect was involved with Dong Wanggong. This was incredible. After all, Qi Yu had already torn his face with the Wu Sect on behalf of the Xuan Sect, and Dong Wanggong was considered a representative figure in the Xuan Sect. Even if he was at odds with Qi Yu, given the Wu Sect’s arrogance, they would not form an alliance with him, right?
But soon, Qi Yu discovered some clues – the alliance with Dong Wanggong did not seem to be the collective will of the entire witch clan, but the private idea of ​​some ancestor witches. On Penglai Island, only the strong men of Zhurong’s lineage participated in this matter!
Even the strong men from Gonggong’s lineage did not take the opportunity to join in and suppress the dragon clan. From the beginning to the end, there was only one Zhurong who took action!

Qi Yu was a little confused about this situation. No matter how he looked at it, Zhu Rong’s sudden intervention was so strange.

If it was a dispute of arrogance, Dong Wanggong was a great enemy to himself and Di Jun. Was Zhu Rong trying to disgust himself and Di Jun? That didn’t make sense. Wouldn’t the other witch ancestors try to persuade Zhu Rong to stop?
If he came only for profit, that didn’t seem right. Why did Zhu Rong, a fire god, come to the East Sea to fight the dragons? Could he seize the water transportation authority of the East Sea? Dong Wanggong, the East Pole Heavenly Emperor, was also in a state of decline and was driven out of the East Pole Ancestral Center. Even if Zhu Rong wanted to form an alliance, he shouldn’t have looked for him, right?

In this way, with doubts, Qi Yu stayed in the ancestral land of the human race for another five hundred years. During this period, he fulfilled the duties of the human race’s saint master and presided over the human race’s immortal tradition, while paying attention to the situation in the East China Sea.

The result was that the King of the East really wanted to keep the enemy at bay, and the Dragon Mother was really cautious enough. The East China Sea was in turmoil for another five hundred years, but the war between the two sides did not escalate further. The two sides were simply acting out a play, and the Demon Sect, the Witch and Monster tribes, and even Qi Yu were almost “acted” by these two parties.

Such a result naturally led to Qi Yu no longer having the intention of playing the role of the oriole behind the scenes. He just felt speechless and then had some thoughts of leaving.

Fortunately, during these five hundred years, Qi Yu did not gain nothing. In the ancestral land of the human race, he found several really good seedlings. Although they are not worthy of his personal teaching, they all have very good qualifications. If they are cultivated well, they can be expected to become Daluo.

Therefore, Qi Yu casually set up some trials. When these young people successfully passed the tests, they would be trained intensively and serve as the foundation of the Taoist tradition and the pillars of the human race in the future to continue their glory.

However, Qi Yu did not have the same attitude towards all young people. Among the last batch of good talents discovered by Qi Yu, there was a young man named Cangjie who attracted Qi Yu’s special attention.

At first, Qi Yu noticed Cang Jie because of his name. A person whose name would be recorded in later generations was indeed enough for Qi Yu to pay extra attention to him. After observing him, he indeed discovered that Cang Jie was extraordinary.

This young man was excellent in both talent and character. More importantly, he had extraordinary comprehension and could understand almost everything at a glance, which was something Qi Yu valued very much.

For this reason, Qi Yu rarely thought of accepting a disciple. Before leaving, he finally revealed his true identity in front of Cangjie, intending to accept a disciple after a long absence and take the young man away with him.

I’m a bit stuck in the writing process. I found some minor problems in the plot, so I need to sort it out. I’ll try to update at least 8,000 words tomorrow. I won’t stay up late tonight, but I will make up for the lack of words today during the day. Please forgive me.

By the way, are there any friends who can see what the small problem I am talking about is?
