“Haha… Your mistress is in seclusion now. You’ll see her in the future.” Looking at his expectant little disciple, Ye Qiu smiled faintly. After a while, he continued, “Alright, it’s getting late. Today’s cultivation ends here. Go back and rest.”
“Alright, I’ll take my leave.” Yaya replied dejectedly and silently left the Cloud Sea Pavilion.
After she left, Ye Qiu returned to the training hall. In the next few days, Violet Cloud Training Hall was relatively calm and was not disturbed.
This morning, Ye Qiu woke up from his cultivation state and stretched comfortably.
“Ah… Awesome.” He stretched his muscles and bones, feeling comfortable as he listened to the bones crack.
During this period of time, Ye Qiu had been constantly polishing his realm, polishing the Eleven Heavenly Sanctums to an incomparably firm state and stabilizing his mental state. If nothing unexpected happened, he could already consider breaking through to the Twelve Heavenly Sanctums.
This would be a huge challenge. Currently, Ye Qiu already had a Primordial Longevity Fruit and had enough motivation to break through to the Twelve Heavenly Sanctums. But this process was a little risky, so Ye Qiu didn’t want to try it easily. He wanted to break through without any risk.
However, it was not easy to achieve this goal. Other than this Primordial Longevity Fruit, he also needed the help of some relatively special treasures. As for the source of this treasure, either Ye Qiu would personally go to the various forbidden areas to test his luck, or he could only trap Yaya.
After a simple adjustment, Ye Qiu slowly stopped. He tidied his clothes and pushed open the door. In an instant, a gust of wind blew in. The sea of clouds drifted, and an immortal scene fell into his eyes.
Ye Qiu had nothing to do and walked to the Cloud Sea. He first took a look and saw that Ye Chen had already left on the other side of the stone bridge. After realizing that he had left, Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled calmly.
Ye Qiu was unmoved even after Ye Chen knelt in Violet Cloud Training Hall for so long. He was a smart person and knew that he no longer had a chance, so he simply left.
Ye Qiu didn’t feel any pity for his departure because he had once given Ye Chen a chance, but he didn’t cherish it.
Ye Qiu’s Violet Cloud Training Hall wasn’t something that anyone could enter just because they wanted to. If they missed it, then they missed it. No matter what reason you had, it couldn’t be salvaged.
It was good that he left. It saved Ye Qiu the trouble of seeing him.
“Master.”
Early in the morning, Yaya arrived at the sea of clouds and began her daily homework. Seeing her master arrive, Yaya hurriedly stood up and bowed.
Ye Qiu nodded and briefly checked her cultivation situation. He nodded in satisfaction. To most people, her cultivation speed could already be considered abnormal. Among the disciples of the same batch, she was completely a unique existence. However, it wasn’t enough for Ye Qiu.
Currently, she had reached the peak of the Paragon realm and was one step away from entering the King-Ranked realm. Perhaps it was because she broke through too quickly that her mental state was not very stable and she encountered a bottleneck.
Ye Qiu thought for a moment and decided to break this bottleneck for her.
“Disciple, is there anything you don’t understand after cultivating for the past few days?” Ye Qiu quietly sat by the cliff and looked at his little disciple.
When Yaya heard this, she fell into deep thought. Then, she raised her opinion. Ye Qiu listened carefully for a long time and nodded in relief. This disciple had good comprehension and excellent aptitude. She would definitely become a great person in the future.
Ye Qiu praised her in his heart and began to impart his Dao. Under Ye Qiu’s guidance, Yaya quickly understood her direction and stepped onto the right track.
With Ye Qiu’s one-on-one guidance, Yaya’s cultivation was very smooth in the next few days. Seeing that she was about to reach the King-Ranked realm, she began to become nervous.
Ye Qiu also noticed her change in mood. He understood that she was very nervous. She was afraid that there would be a deviation in the process of forming the seal or that she would fail to become a King-Ranked. Her current situation was no longer a problem with her cultivation, but a mistake in her mental state. She had only been in contact with cultivation for a short period of time and was unable to clearly understand her Dao. She needed a long period of enlightenment to reflect on herself.
After thinking about it, Ye Qiu understood what to do next. He slowly said, “Disciple, do you have many doubts?”
“Yes, Master. Yaya is confused. I don’t know what an immortal is, what the Dao is, and why we cultivate.”
This was a process of mental tempering. Ye Qiu had already taken care of several disciples and knew very well that Lin Qingzhu had the same confusion back then. And the best way to resolve this confusion was not to tell her directly what to do. Instead, he would bring her to experience it personally and walk around the mortal world. Perhaps she would have some insights.
One had to know that back then, Ye Qiu had brought Lin Qingzhu to walk a million miles to pull her back from her hatred. Although Yaya did not have that kind of bitter hatred, she was still confused in her heart. She was filled with confusion about the direction of cultivation.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qiu slowly stood up and said, “Hmm… it’s time.” He looked up at the white crane in the sky and slowly flew past the sea of clouds. After thinking for a while, Ye Qiu smiled at his little disciple and said, “Disciple, you should go down the mountain.”
“Ah!” As soon as these words were spoken, Yaya was shocked. Is Master going to expel me from the sect? “Master, did Yaya do something wrong? Why did you want to chase me down the mountain? I don’t want to leave you.” Yaya immediately panicked and knelt in front of Ye Qiu, begging her master not to chase her away.
Ye Qiu was amused when he saw her flustered expression. “Haha! Damn girl, when did I say that I wanted to chase you away? What I mean is that if you want to understand why you’re an immortal, you have to personally go to the mortal world to comprehend the true meaning.
“This lesson is to temper the heart in the mortal world. Only by truly understanding your value can you comprehend the true meaning of immortality. As the saying goes, it’s better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.
“This is the tradition of my Violet Cloud lineage. It’s a compulsory lesson for every disciple of yours. Back then, your Eldest Senior Sister walked a million miles and saw all the suffering in the world before she truly understood herself.
“You should do the same.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Yaya immediately understood that she had misunderstood her master. However, when he heard that Eldest Senior Sister had once walked a million miles, she felt a wave of admiration.
Unknowingly, this Eldest Senior Sister that she had never seen before seemed to have become the target of her pursuit and admiration.
Eldest Senior Sister had once walked a million miles, so she could too…
Her heart seemed to have become even more determined. Yaya hurriedly promised, “I will obey Master’s teachings and complete this million-mile trial.”
Seeing that she was so determined, Ye Qiu nodded in relief and was very satisfied. Then, he said, “However, you don’t have to worry. I will accompany you for the first part of the journey. Only when you can take charge will I let go and let you explore the world yourself.”
