Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Overseas Rogue Cultivators
On second thought, the last incident might not be over yet, so it is not advisable to act rashly. Zhou Qing knew that if he walked too much at night, he would run into a ghost sooner or later.
Zhou Qing had a bold idea in his mind. When the two were about to decide the winner, he forcibly cut off their momentum to avoid both sides being injured. Let's do a favor first!
Xu Jiankong and Ling Fei were also secretly grateful in their hearts. The original intention of both parties was to learn from each other, but they didn't expect it to turn into a life-and-death duel. If either side had a few casualties, I'm afraid Kunlun and Shushan would have a big grudge and become enemies from then on.
"I see that you two are also practitioners. It's not easy to cultivate your skills to this level. Why are you fighting to the death here!" Zhou Qing changed from the role of a fisherman to a peacemaker in a blink of an eye.
Seeing the young man in the middle, Ling Fei and Xu Jiankong both felt that he was unfathomable. The previous attack was not powerful, but it was just right to break the power with cleverness. It was able to forcibly separate the two people's momentum. I'm afraid they were at least in the Spiritualization Stage. Ling Fei and Xu Jiankong couldn't see through Zhou Qing's skills, and countless thoughts flashed through their minds in an instant.
"Where did this Taoist friend come from? Our original intention was to learn from each other, but we didn't know that it turned into a life-and-death fight without paying attention. Thank you for your help, we are both grateful." Ling Fei was worthy of being the leader of the Dragon Group for several years. He had dealt with all kinds of people, including high-ranking government officials, demons, Buddhas and Taoists. His ability to respond was far beyond that of Xu Jiankong, who only knew how to practice.
After seeing Xu Jiankong's technique of combining man and sword, Ling Fei was very cautious and naturally didn't want to fight with him again. The battle between Taoist flying swords was extremely dangerous. If you were not careful, both sides might lose their lives. There was no need, and Ling Fei was unwilling to make a move easily.
The man in front of him was very experienced and not an ordinary person. Although he was young, Ling Fei did not look down on him at all. Instead, his tone was a little respectful. Seeing that the other party was just here to be a peacemaker, Ling Fei was relieved. How could he not take the opportunity to step down?
Xu Jiankong was silent when he saw Ling Fei speak. He was not a stupid person, so he naturally did not want to fight anymore. He was very satisfied with this ending.
"I am a casual cultivator from overseas. Today, I came to the Central Plains to travel. I happened to see you two fighting here. I couldn't bear to see you two lose, so I helped you. It's just a small favor. You don't have to take it to heart."
Zhou Qing was talking nonsense. Anyway, Zhou Qing was now an illegal in the cultivation world. He didn't dare to reveal his whereabouts because of his low skills. Now Zhou Qing is strong, so he is not afraid. He just wants to use the two people in front of him to make a name for himself. Understand some of the conditions in the cultivation world, and see how some of them get some cultivation techniques from the big sects.
Originally, I wanted to go to the big sects in Kunlun to steal, but unfortunately I didn't know the situation. In addition, those big sects with a long history all have extremely powerful people, formations, and guarding the mountain gates. If I rashly go in, Zhou Qing doesn't have the ability to fight against a sect alone, even if two masters of transformation come, I will have to run away.
"Overseas casual cultivators!" Ling Fei and Xu Jiankong were shocked at the same time.
There are all kinds of strange people who cultivate Taoism. Some like to hang around in the world. What's more, there are those who are keen on power, fame and wealth, and there are also those who act with the help of secular political power. Since ancient times, there are not a few people who cultivate Taoism to serve as officials. The ancient great sage Jiang Ziya was even the prime minister alone, assisting two generations of emperors, King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou, to create the 800-year foundation of the Zhou Dynasty, leaving behind a good story for all ages.
There are also people who cultivate Taoism, who write books and pass on their own cultivation methods to future generations.
But most of them just want to be quiet, seek the Tao, not listen to worldly affairs, and not get involved in any disputes, with the breeze and the bright moon as their companions. However, the Central Plains has been full of disputes since ancient times. Almost every few decades or hundreds of years, there will be a big dispute, whether it is a change of dynasty, or the rampage of demons, or the rampage of demons. Wars are everywhere, and the wars are continuous. Even those who practice Taoism cannot avoid disputes and are inevitably involved in them.
So some people who love quiet Taoism left the Central Plains, or lived in seclusion overseas, or looked for islands with thick terrain and long spiritual energy on the vast ocean, and covered them with magic power. As their nest.
There are also people with supernatural powers, away from the crowd, in the polar regions, under the thousands of feet of ice, and opened up their own caves with great magic power. They are not tainted by vulgarity, but are quiet and free.
This group of Taoists in the Central Plains are called overseas casual cultivators. Over time, because this group of people have been hiding for many years, there is no disturbance, and they are devoted to practicing Taoism. Therefore, whether it is a single cultivator or a cultivator gathered in a sect, they are all highly skilled and powerful. In addition, the vast ocean is three times the size of the entire land. The quantity and quality of natural treasures far exceed those of the Central Plains, which have been plundered by countless cultivators. Therefore, the power of overseas scattered cultivators is even three times stronger than that of the entire Chinese Taoism.
However, although this group of people is extraordinary in strength, they have no ambitions and no harm. In the past dynasties, both secular governments and cultivators were too lazy to pay attention. Once a powerful demon coveted the natural treasures of a sect overseas and went to rob them. As a result, he was almost killed in seconds and was beaten to death in less than a few minutes. Therefore, no matter whether it is a powerful demon, devil, or Buddha, they are unwilling to provoke this group of people. They are also unwilling to interact with them.
Zhou Qing had also heard about this group of people from Taoist Ling Yun, and he had paid attention to them at that time, and now it really came in handy.
When Ling Fei and Xu Jiankong heard that Zhou Qing was an overseas cultivator, they both showed a look of relief on their faces. Apart from that group of mysterious overseas cultivators, who else could reach the stage of transformation at such a young age! I have reached the late stage of Qi Induction at the age of less than 30, and barely reached the threshold of the stage of transformation. On the one hand, it is because of the profound secrets of my sect, and on the other hand, it is because of the great efforts of my sect to cultivate me. I don't know how many elixirs I have been fed since I was a child. If it were normal time, ordinary people would have to work hard for at least a hundred years to cultivate to the stage of transformation.
"So you're a Taoist friend from overseas. Regardless of whether we're at home or abroad, we're all from the same Taoist lineage, and we're descendants of the Chinese. This time, I'm grateful for your help in separating the two of us. I'm Xu Jiankong, a disciple of Shushan. I don't know which sect you're from overseas, but Shushan has had some friendships with some sects overseas since the founding of the sect by its founder." Xu Jiankong usually thinks highly of himself, but he's not arrogant. Now that he sees a young cultivator with such a high level of cultivation, he actually steps forward to try to establish a relationship with him.
