Chapter 845: Chapter 549: Vast World, Two Rules (Part 2)
"The Holy Alliance?" Lu Qing was moved upon hearing this term, "May I ask the City Lord, what is this Holy Alliance?"
"Ah, I almost forgot to tell you, Lu Xiaodao, now that you have arrived in the Heavenly Origin Great World, there are some rules you need to be aware of.
Otherwise, if you were to offend any taboos, it would be troublesome."
Nangong Yuanwu said.
"I will listen carefully," Lu Qing replied.
"Actually, in the Heavenly Origin Great World, there are not many rules that a cultivator must follow, but two are crucial.
The first is not to wantonly slaughter the innocent. Conflicts between cultivators are permissible, but they must not affect too many common people.
Especially high-realm experts, they must not, relying on their profound cultivation, arbitrarily massacre lower-level cultivators.
If one dares to act recklessly, once discovered, the Holy Alliance will intervene to apprehend and penalize.
The second rule is not to collude with the Demon Clan.
Compared to the first, the second rule is the most important.
If found colluding with the Demon Clan, it is considered a great crime.
At worst, one’s Divine Soul is extracted and imprisoned in a Divine Soul Prison to endure purgatorial agony.
In severe cases, they are directly killed, body and soul completely obliterated, without even the qualification for reincarnation.
As for the Holy Alliance, it is an alliance formed by the various Righteous forces of our Heavenly Origin Great World in response to the Demon Clan.
The Holy Alliance usually does not interfere in matters of sects and noble families.
But should any cultivator dare to violate these two rules, the Holy Alliance will take action.
At that time, unless one is a supreme expert with deep studies in the Space Dao and has comprehended the Boundary Breaking Teleportation Divine Power,
otherwise, it would be difficult to resist capture by the Holy Alliance.
So, Young Master Lu, during your travels, please remember these two points."
"I will remember the teachings of the City Lord."
After listening to Nangong Yuanwu’s words, Lu Qing inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
This Holy Alliance of the Heavenly Origin Great World is quite similar to the Holy Mountain of his homeland.
Except that in his world, there was not such a massive demon force to contend with.
The primary duty of the Holy Mountain was more to restrain powerful cultivators from persecuting the weak.
However, he was very willing to abide by these two rules.
Although he was not a person of this world, he also did not like bullying the weak.
He was indifferent towards the Demon Clan’s forces and naturally had no intention of colluding with them.
After all, within his Leaving Fire Tripod, a wisp of a demon cultivator’s Divine Soul was sealed, and he knew what kind of beings they were.
"And Lu Xiaodao, not only did you save our lives this time.
You also helped Hong Yun break the Joyful Heart-Eroding Curse and freed her from Miao Yu’s control.
I don’t have any substantial gift to thank you with.
Hong Yun said you like Spirit Stones, so within this storage ring, there’s a collection of Spirit Stones I’ve accumulated over the years, please accept it."
With that, Nangong Yuanwu took out a simple ring and handed it to Lu Qing.
"How can the City Lord?" Lu Qing hastily waved his hands, "You have already helped me a great deal by bringing me here, how can I further accept your things."
"Why be so polite, Lu Xiaodao."
However, Nangong Yuanwu directly tossed the storage ring over.
"The grace of saving a life is greater than heaven, and how could bringing you to the upper realm be a sufficient repayment, it’s just a few Spirit Stones, please accept them, Lu Xiaodao."
Lu Qing caught the storage ring, seeing Nangong Yuanwu’s firm attitude.
He could only say, "Then I will shamelessly accept them."
After storing the ring, Lu Qing bowed to Nangong Yuanwu and Mo Hongyun.
"City Lord, Tower Master, now that we’ve safely arrived in the upper realm, it’s time for me to take my leave as well."
"Are you leaving already, Mr. Lu?" Mo Hongyun asked.
"Indeed, having come to the Heavenly Origin Great World, I wish to take a good trip around, it’s not convenient to stay long."
"Mr. Lu, for helping me, you’ve offended the Gongsu Family and Miao Yu, so please be extra careful during your travels."
Mo Hongyun reminded him with some worry.
"I will be careful to hide my identity, and if Tower Master plans to leave the Heavenly Origin Great World, please also take care.
The talisman I gave you, don’t let it leave your side.
With it, hiding your identity will be easier."
"I will always carry it." Mo Hongyun nodded earnestly.
"Then, Tower Master, City Lord, I take my leave now."
"Take care, Lu Xiaodao, I await your return at the Nangong family," Nangong Yuanwu said.
Lu Qing nodded lightly, then his body turned into a stream of light, carrying Little Li and the Five Elements, soaring into the sky, flying out of the Valley of a Hundred Blossoms.
The branch family members of the Nangong Family guarding the Valley of a Hundred Blossoms had already received Nangong Yuanwu’s message ahead of time.
They did not stop Lu Qing, allowing him to leave freely.
Mo Hongyun stood in place, quietly watching the direction in which Lu Qing had left, without moving for a long time.
Nangong Yuanwu saw this scene and sighed silently.
He could see that Hongyun, having gone through these events, probably had developed different thoughts about Lu Xiaodao.
But he could also see that this Lu Xiaodao was a talent favored by the heavens, with a heart toward the Dao that was exceedingly steadfast.
Afraid that his heart did not harbor any desires for romance or passions.
Hongyun’s feelings would ultimately fall into emptiness, unable to receive any response.
Moreover, he had a peculiar feeling.
This time, Lu Xiaodao’s journey would likely stir up a storm in the Heavenly Origin Great World in the future.
"Hongyun, where do you want to go next?"
"Anywhere is fine, as long as I can leave the Heavenly Origin Great World.
I also want to wander around like Mr. Lu to broaden my knowledge, and practice cultivation properly along the way.
These past years, I have wasted too much time.
Only by cultivating to the Primordial Spirit Realm early and fully mastering the Xuanyin Jade Body, can I return to this Heavenly Origin Great World."
Mo Hongyun said determinedly, looking in the direction Lu Qing had left.
"Very well, I will arrange for you to go to the Guiyuan Great World, where the cultivation conditions are not inferior to ours.
With your talent, it might not take long for you to break through."
"Alright, to use the cross-region great world-level Transmission Array, the cost is substantial. Let me cover the Spirit Stones for that myself."
"Hongyun, you..."
...
With Nangong Yuanwu’s help, Mo Hongyun set foot on the Transmission Array heading to the Guiyuan Great World.
Meanwhile, after leaving the Valley of a Hundred Blossoms, Lu Qing transformed into a stream of light, casually choosing a direction and flying along it.
During the flight, he also experienced the differences between this Great World and Small World.
"After leaving the Valley of a Hundred Blossoms, the richness of Spiritual Energy decreased significantly."
Lu Qing immediately noticed this change.
Of course, he was not surprised.
Since the Valley of a Hundred Blossoms was a place nurtured by the Nangong Family for Spiritual Medicine, it probably was a treasured land itself.
And it surely had Arrays similar to the Spirit Gathering Array set up within it.
It’s quite normal for the Spiritual Energy to be denser there than outside.
However, even upon reaching the outside, the density of Spiritual Energy in the surrounding heavens and earth was still very impressive.
It was not inferior to what he had experienced in the Cave Mansion while staying at the Treasure Tower.
More importantly, the quality of Spiritual Energy in this Heavenly Origin Great World far surpassed that in the Little Cang Realm.
And this was merely the Spiritual Energy scattered in the heavens and earth, already so dense.
If it were those famous mountains and rivers, Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, one could hardly imagine how abundant its Spiritual Energy was, and to what extent it could reach.
Apart from Spiritual Energy, another direct sensation was.
Lu Qing discovered that the Heaven and Earth Rules in this Heavenly Origin Great World were much stronger than those in the Small Worlds.
This also caused his flying speed, transformed into a stream of light, to be greatly reduced compared to usual.
Not even reaching one-tenth of the original speed.
Of course, with Lu Qing’s Perfect Golden Core, even if it was only one-tenth of the original flying speed.
In the eyes of other Golden Core Realm cultivators, it was still extremely fast, comparable to the speed at which they could control a Magical Treasure.
"I wonder if I were to operate the Void Flying Boat, what kind of speed would it reach in this Heavenly Origin Great World, touching the extreme speed of this world?"
This thought suddenly popped into Lu Qing’s mind.
Of course, he merely thought about it in his mind and did not act on it.
The origin of the Void Flying Boat is mysterious, a component of a legendary Dao Artifact.
Cultivators in Small Worlds with limited knowledge might not recognize its origins.
But in this Heavenly Origin Great World, where hidden talents lay and strong masters were numerous, the depths could indeed be said to be immeasurable.
If he were to flaunt the Void Flying Boat all over, who knows if some mysterious expert would detect its profundity and attempt to seize it.
In that case, it would be a true major trouble.
So Lu Qing had already made up his mind.
Unless it was a matter of life and death, he would never easily use the Void Flying Boat.
Flying in the sky, Lu Qing continuously used the Divine Soul Power to sense this world’s Heaven and Earth Rules and adapt to them.
Just as he was passing through a cloud layer once again, suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart.
A wisp of coldness rose from his heart.
He looked up sharply, only to see a strange bird rapidly flying towards him.
Its sharp talons exuded strands of cold light, clawing towards him.
