Chapter 280: Chapter 139 Eastern Domain Trembles_2
Lu Yi did not stop, he continued to use the Concealing Breath Skill, and did not even utilize Spiritual Energy; relying solely on the strength of his physical body, he navigated through the mountain forests.
At the same time, Lu Yi glanced at his status panel.
The task from just now should be complete.
[Task]
Eliminate the pursuers behind, task rewards to be determined by the number of people killed (Completed)
Reward: Mid Grade Spiritual Artifact, Dream Cloud Jade Pendant.
Would you like to claim your reward: Yes/No
Lu Yi looked at the reward and then halted his steps, a smile forming on his face.
This Dream Cloud Jade Pendant could stabilize one’s qi and even conceal it, precisely what he needed at this moment!
Lu Yi was pleasantly surprised but also somewhat expected this.
After all, having completed many tasks in the past, Lu Yi had noticed that the rewards were generally dispensed according to the nature of the task.
For example, tasks involving sparring with the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son usually had rewards related to True Dragons. Those involving sparring with his fellow disciple sisters often rewarded insights related to their Conceptions.
This time the task targets were cultivators of the Heavenly Origin Sect, experts in Divination Skill. The rewarded Spiritual Artifact was the perfect counter to them, which made perfect sense.
Without a second thought, Lu Yi donned the Dream Cloud Jade Pendant. He instantly felt strands of strange fluctuations emanating from the pendant, enveloping him completely.
This feeling was quite mysterious, and had Lu Yi not been in harmony with the Tao, he might not have even noticed it.
Perhaps this was what it felt like to conceal one’s qi?
Lu Yi smiled; with the Dream Cloud Jade Pendant, he no longer had to worry about his qi being detected.
Even a Tribulation Crossing Practitioner attempting to divine his location would likely face significant interference.
Moreover, as the Dream Cloud Jade Pendant could also enhance the Transformation Technique, as long as Lu Yi was careful, he need not fear being recognized.
Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, then once more moved toward Qingzhou.
However, on his way, Lu Yi occasionally altered his course rather than moving in a straight line, fearing unexpected events.
When encountering an ancient city, Lu Yi would rather not enter if possible, maintaining a low profile.
It wasn’t long before Lu Yi finally returned to the Qingzhou region.
Upon entering Qingzhou, Lu Yi immediately noticed something amiss.
Qingzhou was relatively weak in strength across the Eastern Domain, its strongest cultivator merely a Cave Void Cultivator, with the Divinity Transformation Realm being the realm of a Supreme Elder.
But even without entering the city, Lu Yi occasionally saw Cave Void Cultivators flying across the sky.
Lu Yi squinted, guessing that these cultivators must have come from elsewhere, probably obsessed with his Immortal Scripture.
After all, Lu Yi’s sect was the White Cloud Sect. Although many cultivators were fearful and dared not enter the White Cloud Sect due to the previous disappearance of the Great Mahayana and Unification Great Powers within it, Qingzhou was vast. If they could intercept Lu Yi on the road, perhaps they would gain something.
After understanding the situation, Lu Yi sneered inwardly. Pity that he now had the Dream Cloud Jade Pendant, which concealed the Heavenly Mechanism.
Lu Yi stepped forward, passed through the territory of Wenjian Manor, and continued through the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect Territory.
While crossing the Ten Thousand Flowers Mountain Range, Lu Yi had the impulse to visit Yun Xi.
But considering his sensitive identity, visiting Yun Xi might bring unfavorable consequences to the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect. After some contemplation, he chose not to visit.
As he passed through the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect Territory, Lu Yi noticed there were even more powerful beings in different areas. He felt the aura of a Unification Realm Great Power flash by, and even sensed a deeper and more powerful presence.
Great Mahayana cultivators were hiding secretly.
Lu Yi narrowed his eyes, feeling quite annoyed. Once he became stronger, he wondered if these people would still stay around. If they did, he would eradicate them one by one.
When he crossed through the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect Territory and reached the territory of the White Cloud Sect, Lu Yi was surprised to see no sign of powerful beings.
However, he quickly surmised the reason.
Given that powerful beings resided within the White Cloud Sect, no matter how bold the other cultivators were, they did not dare to linger within its territory, fearing repercussions from the reclusive powers of the sect.
However, Lu Yi thought they might be overestimating things as, knowing his Master’s lazy disposition, she was likely still sleeping unless their doors were knocked upon…
The powers that had entered the White Cloud Sect had brought about their own demise.
Of course, this worked in Lu Yi’s favor, easing his way significantly.
Still, Lu Yi remained discreet and soon arrived at the gates of the White Cloud Sect.
It was only then that Lu Yi reverted to his original appearance.
Perhaps due to the presence of numerous powerful beings outside the White Cloud Sect, Elder Qi Ling was assigned to guard the gates.
Upon seeing Lu Yi, Elder Qi Ling’s eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.
“Lu Yi?! You actually made it back alive??”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi had a full head of black lines, finding the sentiment rather distasteful, “Elder, why do you sound like you wish I were dead?”
“How could that be?” said Elder Qi Ling without conviction. He then examined Lu Yi with amazement: “Do you have any idea how many powerful beings in Qingzhou are looking for you?! Even the Great Mahayana cultivators are abundant! We all thought you wouldn’t return, yet here you are, during this time.”
Elder Qi Ling was astonished, chattering incessantly, “You actually managed to get through the blockades set by so many powerful cultivators, it’s… it’s freaking insane!”
Lu Yi, with a head full of black lines, couldn’t tell if the old man was praising him or cursing him.
“Do you know that? The powerful being who entered our sect was killed by someone. Otherwise, the White Cloud Sect might have been in trouble,” continued Elder Qi Ling. “Who would have thought we had a Tribulation Crossing Practitioner secretly cultivating within our White Cloud Sect? Sadly, despite searching for so long, we have no clue who it is. Otherwise, we’d definitely have begged them to bring you back!”
