Chapter 157: The Finale
Chapter 157
How to return home, Zhen Qing did not conceal it, after all, she had already seen the Cultivation Method many times.
There were two things needed for this: the Teleportation Formation and the Divine Cauldron.
The Divine Cauldron was with Song Jixing, so she would have to rely on her to set up the formation.
Zhen Qing said this inside the house, and as soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked towards Song Jixing.
WenRen He couldn't help but frown, since the Divine Cauldron was fused with Song Jixing's soul, did that mean they would have to use Song Jixing to fill the formation?
Using Cultivators to fill in formations was not uncommon in the Cultivation World, not only did Heterodox Cultivators do it, but orthodox Cultivators did too, though it was generally a last resort.
Zhen Qing saw what they were thinking and said, "It's not what you're thinking, in any case, she'll be able to do it once she practices."
As the focus of everyone's attention, Song Jixing felt a bit nervous.
Setting up the Teleportation Formation to return was not difficult, the hard part was that she needed to improve her cultivation to make this Teleportation Formation work properly.
Fortunately, she was not the only one in this world who had a part of the Divine Cauldron, another piece was brought by a Demon Cultivator.
Under Zhen Qing's guidance, Song Jixing cultivated the senior's Cultivation Method and became proficient in using it within a month.
Perhaps because of the new Cultivation Method, not only could Song Jixing sense the fragments of the Divine Cauldron within her soul, but she could also sense the location of the cauldron's lid.
Yes, she had become spiritually connected to the Divine Cauldron.
Unlike the shattered body of the cauldron, the lid was still intact, being diligently cleaned by that Demon Cultivator every day.
Song Jixing didn't know whether to consider herself unlucky or lucky.
Others didn't explode, but she shattered into pieces.
Now was the time to take back the Divine Cauldron. Upstodatee from n(0)/vš/lbIn/.(co/m
That very night, Song Jixing set out on her sword, taking advantage of the night to capture that Demon Cultivator.
Although the Demon Cultivator could not cultivate anymore, he still had some tricks up his sleeve, leading Song Jixing on a cat-and-mouse chase before inevitably failing to escape.
After all, a mouse cannot defeat a cat.
The next evening, Song Jixing brought the captured Demon Cultivator back to the base, and from Zhen Qing's mouth, learned of his identity.
The renowned Red Lotus Demon Lord of the Demon Realm!
As soon as Song Jixing heard the title, she knew he was the kind of person a hundred of her could not defeat. Fortunately, the Red Lotus Demon Lord had no cultivation left, and the treasures on him were almost depleted, so he was not a threat.
As Song Jixing became more familiar with the Cultivation Method, setting up the formation progressed quickly.
However, before the formation was set up, Zhen Qing approached Song Jixing and told her something.
The formation would be one-way for everyone else, once they went through, they could never return, but it would be different for Song Jixing. After she fully integrated the Divine Cauldron into her body, she could freely travel between the two realms.
Yet what Zhen Qing actually said to Song Jixing was: "After you return, gather all the fragments of the Divine Cauldron together and stay here for a while. This place will be beneficial for your cultivation. Perhaps you'll be able to ascend early..."
Zhen Qing spoke with a hint of envy, for such an opportunity was not something everyone had.
Song Jixing bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master."
Since learning he would be leaving this place, Shen Feixian accelerated his work progress, having promised to compile textbooks for someone, he could not go back on his word!
He displayed the perseverance that Cultivators were known for, working intensely every day with almost no sleep.
To support his work, the higher-ups gave him twice as many logistical personnel and editorial staff, with nearly a hundred pairs of eyes focused on Shen Feixian, full of determination.
Compiling Cultivation textbooks was no easy task, especially for ordinary people.
In less than a month of intense work, the group of staff began exhibiting all the common problems of overworked individuals: hair loss, dark circles, mental fatigue, obesity, weakness...
Looking at the energetic Shen Feixian, they suddenly understood the gap between themselves and Cultivators!
They couldn't endure it, truly, they couldn't endure it even if their lives depended on it!
But their passion for the work remained unchanged. They were not only working for themselves, but for all of humanity.
Upon learning of the news that Qingyun Sect would be leaving, the higher-ups were reluctant to see them go, but were relieved that Song Jixing would return.
Especially after finding out that a one-way Teleportation Formation would be built to send people over, the higher-ups became concerned - could their Cultivators go through as well?
They could go through, but once they went, they could never return. Additionally, the spiritual energy between the two sides was different, so even if they cultivated here, they might not be able to cultivate over there.
However, there was a solution.
Zhen Qing stated that as long as they had a Spiritual Root, it would be fine. Even if the spiritual energy was not compatible between the two sides, they could simply discard all their cultivation and start over from the beginning.
After all, they were all just starting out, so the difference would not be significant.
When the higher-ups learned of this, they became very excited. From the words of the Qingyun Sect members, they could tell that the Cultivation World was a vast place, with large continents and even other worlds above, suitable for Cultivators.
Those residing on this planet were mostly ordinary people, and they were ordinary people themselves. They knew that the gap in power between ordinary people and Cultivators was too great for them to coexist in the same world.
Otherwise, sooner or later, the stronger side would inevitably dominate and rule over the weaker side's world. Although a harmonious society was a distant dream, it was a dream that would one day be realized, like the moon goddess Chang'e flying to the moon.
At the very least, for now, they had to protect this dream.
Being able to send the Cultivators to another realm provided them with another choice.
Summer passed quickly, and as the maple leaves fell covering the mountains, a certain mountain located in the central region of this country suddenly floated up into the air overnight, becoming a floating island!
Due to the mountain's large area, satellites immediately captured this event, and the news spread globally.
Officials quickly came forward to inform the public that there were Cultivators from another world residing here, and this island was a gateway to send them back to their home world!
However, not everyone could open this door, only those with a Spiritual Root could do so.
What lay beyond the door was an unstable life, where anything could happen at any time.
As for the specifics, that would be left for the people of the future to choose.
The door would remain open forever.
"Junior Sister! You're not returning with us?" Shen Feixian stood in front of the Teleportation Formation, looking at Song Jixing in her down jacket with some curiosity.
Amidst the crowd dressed in Cultivation robes, Song Jixing stood out as very out of place.
"I'm going back! But I'll also be returning..." Song Jixing's answer was frank.
Hearing this, Shen Feixian looked at Song Jixing with envy - how wonderful to be able to freely travel between realms!
It wasn't just Shen Feixian who was envious, but also Bai Ling.
Bai Ling had originally wanted to stay here for a while longer, but as soon as she said it, the Sect Master glanced at her, and she swallowed her words back down.
Song Jixing cast one incantation after another, and the light of the Teleportation Formation flickered repeatedly.
Those who had appeared in this world inexplicably, one by one, vanished again, returning to where they belonged...
After watching everyone disappear, Song Jixing stepped into the Teleportation Formation.
