Chapter 207 No Presence
Chapter 207 No Presence
Time, like a shuttle, swiftly passed by; seven days went in the blink of an eye.
When Qinchuan ceased his sermon, everyone in the Congyun Sect remained immersed in the vast knowledge he had imparted over these days, still craving more.
In these seven days, all the members of Congyun Sect had reaped a bountiful harvest, gaining a deeper cognition and understanding of martial arts, which would be an immense asset for their future cultivation, enabling them to avoid many detours on their martial path.
It wasn't just the ordinary disciples; even Ye Xuanji, who possessed cultivation at the Saint Realm, was engrossed in the knowledge imparted by Qinchuan, unable to extricate himself.
The martial knowledge Qinchuan shared was like enlightening nectar pouring down, opening a new gateway for them.
Zhou Yuanyi had already awakened quite some time ago.
He served beside Ye Xuanji and had also listened to Qinchuan's sermons, feeling just as astonished by Qinchuan's profound insight into martial arts and greatly benefiting as well.
By this moment, Zhou Yuanyi couldn't help but sigh, no longer daring to underestimate or disdain Qinchuan, and his gaze towards Qinchuan was filled with significantly more respect and gratitude.
The Supreme Elder had also come to listen to the sermon and, subtly, had come to an enlightenment. The shackles of his realm had loosened, and as long as he recovered his vital energy, he could calmly break through.
Being the only one aware of Qinchuan's true identity, he naturally knew the magnitude of fortune and opportunity Qinchuan's sermon represented.
He certainly didn't plan to miss it.
Even the matter of refining the Life Creation Pill to recover from his injuries was temporarily set aside by him.
He merely absorbed a few strands of the Life Creation Pill's essence to barely sustain his life; then, he plunged into Qinchuan's teachings.
In his eyes, Qinchuan's sermon was a colossal opportunity that must not be missed under any circumstances.
As for refining the Life Creation Pill, as long as he still drew breath, when could he not do it?
After the sermon ended, Qinchuan didn't disturb those still immersed in their martial enlightenment; instead, he went alone to the Holy Pond of Congyun Sect.
He stood with his hands behind his back, watching the milky white Spiritual Energy Cocoon within the Holy Pond, sensing the strong and rhythmic pulses of qi emanating from it. It was Qin Xiaoyu's Myriad Laws Treasure Body, awakening step by step.
"The one and only Myriad Laws Treasure Body in the world..."
Qinchuan murmured, looking at the cocoon before him, feeling the familiar power surging within; he couldn't help but think once more of that little girl from years ago.
That unparalleled Empress.
Had she truly fallen?
Qinchuan couldn't help but let out a sigh.
The long river of time surges ceaselessly, and millions of years pass in a hurry, burying countless lives and objects within its flow.

The Earth Dragon Xiao'er sensed Qinchuan's emotional fluctuations, issuing a low groan, affectionately rubbing against Qinchuan's robe, as if to offer comfort.
Qinchuan gave a wry smile, reined in his emotions, and gently patted Xiao'er's head, "Hehe, I just felt a bit sentimental."
Seeing Qinchuan's mood had lifted, Xiao'er also let out an excited hum, frolicking and jumping around Qinchuan joyfully.
Qinchuan smiled, left the place, and said, "Take good care of Xiaoyu."
After staying a few more days in Congyun Sect, Qinchuan summoned Wu Tian and the others.
"I will be leaving for some time. Now that the main forces of the major factions like the Li Mountain Sword Sect in Shanhe County have been decimated, how you deal with the aftermath is up to you to decide," Qinchuan said to Wu Tian and the elders.
"What, you're leaving?"
Upon hearing Qinchuan's words, the high-level members of Congyun Sect instantly showed changing expressions, clearly not expecting Qinchuan to leave Congyun Sect.
By now, their attitude towards Qinchuan had undergone a complete 360-degree reversal from when Qinchuan had first joined the sect.
In less than a year at Congyun Sect, Qinchuan had greatly influenced each one of them, having already attained an extremely high status in their hearts.
Now that Qinchuan suddenly mentioned leaving Congyun Sect, they found it somewhat difficult to accept for a while.
"It's only a temporary departure to take care of some matters,"
Qinchuan spoke up and said, "During the time I am away, I'm entrusting Xiaoyu's care to all of you."
Upon hearing that Qinchuan was only leaving temporarily, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Tian immediately replied, "Rest assured, with Xiaoyu staying at Congyun Sect, absolutely no one will be able to harm a single hair on her!"
Qinchuan nodded, not too worried about this.
With the Earth Dragon guarding Qin Xiaoyu, her safety was guaranteed.
"I don't know what matters you have to attend to on your journey. Do you need the sect's assistance?"
Wu Tian asked, "No matter what it is, as long as the sect can help, we will not refuse."
Qinchuan shook his head and said, "No need. I must deal with these matters personally and take the opportunity to visit some old friends."
After hearing Qinchuan's response, Wu Tian did not press any further.
After dismissing Wu Tian and the others, the Grand Elder personally came to Heaven-Piercing Peak to pay his respects to Qinchuan.
"You just stay at Congyun Sect and focus on healing. If Xiaoyu leaves seclusion and I have not yet returned, you will be responsible for her martial enlightenment. This is the Myriad Laws Scripture; you just need to read it to her. Don't add anything extra by trying to explain its meaning. Your interpretation might not be correct. Do you understand?"
Qinchuan looked at Wu Wenxuan, pointing out a radiant light that shot into Wu Wenxuan's forehead, turning into scripture that surfaced and sank in the sea of his consciousness.
This was the Myriad Laws Scripture, a cultivation technique he and the Empress Hong Lian had jointly studied and developed. It was a supremely powerful technique specially tailored for the Myriad Laws Treasure Body.
One could say that, so far, it was the cultivation technique most suitable for those with the Myriad Laws Treasure Body.
Beyond holders of the Myriad Laws Treasure Body, it was very difficult for others to cultivate this technique. Even if someone with great talents managed to refine it, it would be hard to unleash its true effectiveness and wondrous uses.
Feeling the scripture that Qinchuan had transmitted into his sea of consciousness, Wu Wenxuan quickly bowed and responded, "This subordinate will carefully heed the young master's instructions."
Qinchuan nodded "You may leave."
"This subordinate takes his leave."
Wu Wenxuan respectfully left.
"I've entrusted you with the Evil Warding Divine Sword. Have you gleaned anything from it?"
Qinchuan glanced at Zhou Xi and suddenly asked.
Zhou Xi was startled and said, "Do you know the secret contained within the Evil Warding Divine Sword? Did you entrust me with the sword to deliberate on its mysteries?"
Qinchuan neither confirmed nor denied, "I am of course aware of the secrets contained within the Evil Warding Divine Sword. Since you now follow me, although you are but a mere maid, you cannot be too weak. Within this sword lies the Evil Warding Sword Technique and the Evil Warding Sword Intent."
"As someone who practices swordsmanship, if you can comprehend this Evil Warding Sword Technique and its Sword Intent, the benefits are self-evident and don't need to be spelled out by me."
"How much you grasp depends on your own fortune," Qinchuan added indifferently.
Hearing Qinchuan's rather condescending words, Zhou Xi couldn't help but grit her teeth, glaring at Qinchuan with a face full of defiance, "My talent and enlightenment are not lacking in the slightest!"
Qinchuan glanced at her and said, "Oh, my apologies, I misspoke. Considering ordinary people, a Taiyin Treasure Body's talent is indeed not bad. I just couldn't help but compare you to a former maid of mine. Don't take it to heart."
"Talking about talent is one thing, but speaking of strength..." he continued honestly, "you are indeed the weakest among all the maids I've ever had. I'm even wondering whether I should bother bringing you along on my journey."
"After all... it's rather embarrassing to travel with such a weak maid."
Upon hearing Qinchuan's words, Zhou Xi was so infuriated that she itched to pounce on Qinchuan and bite him fiercely!
This jerk, how dare he belittle her like this!
