Chapter 174: Strange Perception, Yi Qinglan collapsed!
Bai Yunfeng…
In the depths of Tianshu Institute, in the Sect Master’s residence…
The room was empty. Other than the snow-white walls, there was nothing else.
Yi Qinglan sat cross-legged in the middle of the room.
She circulated her dao techniques and sensed her Heavenly Heart. However, she discovered that the dao laws within her body were endless. There was not a trace of stagnation, and she was unaffected.
When she opened her eyes, a divine light flashed through them.
“Strangely, when I was in that teahouse, my mental state was indeed in chaos for a moment, but why is my cultivation not affected at all?”
The Dao of Forgetting Emotions was very special.
Although it was peerlessly powerful and could communicate with the heavens and the earth, it was easily affected by one’s mental state.
If she couldn’t maintain her icy state, she wouldn’t be able to unleash her full strength.
If she was to fall into the mortal world, her powers would dissipate.
“Could it be that my Dao Heart is too stable?” Yi Qinglan shook her head, unable to think of an answer.
“And what kind of affinity is that? What is it that can actually affect my body?” Yi Qinglan knew her body like the back of her hand.
However, she could not find anything unusual.
The red dots of light weren’t some sort of energy, but some sort of mysterious object.
There was a strange connection between her and Li Ran.
“Damned little thief, where did these strange things come from?”
Dong dong dong.
At this moment, someone knocked.
A deacon’s voice rang out from outside the door. “Sect Master, Chief Lin requests an audience.”
Yi Qinglan took out a new veil and put it on, covering her face.
“Let her in.”
“Yes, please, Chief Lin.”
With that, Lin Langyue walked in.
“Disciple greets Master.”
Yi Qinglan nodded. “Why are you looking for me?”
“It’s nothing,” Lin Langyue said with a sweet smile, “I just wanted to see you.”
Yi Qinglan glanced at her. “You’re thinking of Li Ran, right?”
Lin Langyue blushed and said, “Master, you’re talking nonsense again.”
Yi Qinglan was both angry and amused. “You’ve already thought of that fellow as the Heavenly Dao, yet I can’t say a few words?”
“Master, don’t joke with me,” Lin Langyue said, hugging her arm.’
Yi Qinglan looked at her with a loving gaze.
If it wasn’t for her beloved disciple, how could she have specifically warned Li Ran?
What does Li Ran’s death have to do with her?
However, Lin Langyue’s personality had changed greatly since she left the secret room, and her relationship with her had become much closer.
Actually, rather than saying that it was a change, it was better to say that she had finally removed her outer shell and become herself.
Yi Qinglan didn’t know whether this was good or bad.
But there was no doubt that she preferred such a disciple.
Lin Langyue asked, “Master, did everything go smoothly this time?”
Yi Qinglan replied, “It wasn’t smooth. I guessed Sheng Ye’s plan, and he was even more resolute than I imagined.”
If she hadn’t read Lin Langyue’s memories, Sheng Ye probably wouldn’ t have changed his mind.
Lin Langyue frowned slightly after hearing Yi Qinglan’s explanation.
“Sheng Ye is so persistent in this matter. Could it be that he has a grudge against Li Ran?”
Yi Qinglan shook her head and said, “He doesn’t have a grudge against Li Ran, but against all the sects in the world.”
“Ah?”
“Why do you say that?” Yi Qinglan said, “As the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, how can he accept the existence of other powers other than the imperial power?”
“Especially the top sects. Their strength is almost on par with the imperial family. This is like a thorn in Sheng Ye’s side.
The most important thing about the Emperor’s Heart Technique was the “private world”.
Only an incomparably strong desire for power could achieve the supreme position of a king.
“If that’s the case, then why didn’t the sect join forces to overthrow the Sheng Clan?”
“Why would we overthrow him?’
“The sect seeks the path of Immortality, the path of eternal life. The mortal world is only tied up. Someone had helped them rule the world in an orderly manner, so why do we have to do it ourselves?
“Moreover, we can’t just overthrow the royal family.
“The Sheng Clan has ruled the mortal world for thousands of years. These thousands of miles of lands have been enveloped by its draconic aura. As long as this imperial draconic aura is not destroyed, Sheng Ye’s chair can still sit steadily.”
Lin Langyue nodded in confusion.
She had always been focused on cultivation and knew nothing about these things. This was the first time she had even heard of draconic aura.
Yi Qinglan looked out the window and said indifferently, “However, in the past hundred years, the draconic aura has shown signs of weakening. Sheng Ye must have become nervous as well.
“That’s why he urgently wants to set the Righteous and Devil paths against each other, so that his country will be stable.”
Although Yi Qinglan had cut off the mortal world, she had the wisdom to see through these things.
Lin Langyue sighed. “They’re all Emperor-level existences, yet they’ re still so scheming.”
Yi Qinglan smiled and said, “Emperor-level doesn’t mean Transcendence. There are still all kinds of desires. Amongst them, the desire for power is the most ferocious. It’s not strange for Sheng Ye to do this.”
Lin Langyue blinked. “Then what do you want?”
“Master…” Yi Qinglan hadn’t finished speaking when her entire body froze while her eyes were filled with disbelief.
Sensing the change, Lin Langyue asked, “Master, what’s wrong?”
Yi Qinglan went silent for a short while before she said in a low voice, “It’s fine. You can leave first. Ah…” Yi Qinglan was silent for a moment before she said in a low voice.”
Then, she waved her sleeve and Lin Langyue was sent out by a gentle breeze.
The door quickly closed.
Yi Qinglan suddenly covered her chest and began to pant intensely. Her face behind the veil was faintly flushed.
“How is that possible? How can I even sense this!
“This is a distance of ten thousand miles! What the hell is that red line!”
She cut off her five senses, but realized that it was useless.
It was as if it came from the depths of her soul.
In the middle of the day, that fellow is too absurd!”
“This poor, this poor Daoist…”
Yi Qinglan gritted her teeth hatefully.
She sat cross-legged and tried her best to circulate the Pure Heart Curse in an attempt to calm down.
However, the perception transmitted ten thousand kilometers away continued to impact her nerves.
It wasn’t until evening that he stopped.
Yi Qinglan wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead. Her eyes were no longer calm.
“That little thief has finally calmed down. He must have gone to dinner.”
She actually felt a trace of exhaustion. She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes to rest, and her restless dao heart gradually calmed down.
She felt a little tired. She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes to rest. Her restless Daoist Heart gradually calmed down.
But just an hour later, an even stronger throbbing came again.
“……”
Yi Qinglan looked out the window, her face filled with grief and indignation.
“Li Ran, aren’t you finished?!”
