Chapter 335: Chapter 218: Dong Huang Crossing the Tribulation

“How can one make progress if they limit themselves to only what they see at their feet? Every major Cultivation sect constructs Cross-sea flying boats to communicate with other continents. This is not something a sect with few genuine individuals can accomplish—it’s heaven’s own creation!”

Seeing Feng Qing’an’s interest in the Cross-sea flying boat, the city’s Demonic God detailed its features as he understood them and informed Feng Qing’an of all he knew about it.

“In Da Jin, there is a Daoist sect called Qixia Mountain, which boasts of an illustrious history within the realm of Taoism. At the height of its glory, this sect boasted nine true persons and built a flying boat that was nothing more than a mile long.”

“Along with the successful construction of the flying boat, Qixia Mountain’s reputation soared and the number of true persons reached thirteen. But this grandeur was not destined to last. It weathered a mere one hundred fifty years.”

“A massive catastrophe resulted in the fall or disappearance of several true persons, making it impossible for Qixia Mountain to maintain the flying boat. Unable to communicate with other continents, they could only seek help from other sects.”

“Regrettably, borrowing another’s flying boat is not as comfortable as using one’s own. Today, Qixia Mountain only supports two or three true persons barely preserving their lineage, no longer possessing the power to utilize the flying boat.”

“So, it’s like that!”

Feng Qing’an nodded thoughtfully, understanding the function of the Cross-sea flying boat for cultivation sects. It served as a platform for practitioners from all continents to exchange knowledge and complement each other’s strengths. As long as the Cross-sea flying boats existed, none of the continents were isolated.”

As for him, if he intended to cultivate and join a sect, he would naturally choose one that could support a flying boat. If he wished to witness a broader world, he could simply get on a boat and sail away.

“There’s one thing I still don’t understand!”

“Feel free to ask.”

“Why are those cultivators from the Daoist sects so interested in me? If it weren’t for being in the Underworld, I suspect some would have taken action against me!”

“You don’t know why?”

The city’s Demonic God looked strangely at Feng Qing’an.

“Does it have something to do with my older brother?”

Feng Qing’an knew that there was something extraordinary about him, something obvious to those with the eye for it. But even so, those true persons from Daoist sects didn’t need to act so desperately to snatch him up. It seemed implausible that they could just look at him, ignore the Bead of Heaven and Earth, and see his extraordinariness. More likely, his older brother was involved.”

“Exactly!”

If it was earlier, the city’s Demonic God wouldn’t have understood why those Daoist true persons, Buddhist monks, would turn out to be in Da Jin from afar. But now, after several years, if he hadn’t figured out the reason, then he’d be a failed Demonic God. Besides, this was something all high monks and true persons knew. Since they all knew, it wouldn’t be a secret.”

“Those true persons and Taoists rumored that there was a reincarnation of an Immortal Monarch in Da Jin, and his Previous Life’s Dao Fruit of Chun Yang was revealed, causing a celestial catastrophe. The only one in Da Jin that fits this description is no one other than, your brother.”

“The Dao Fruit of Chun Yang?!”

Upon hearing this, Feng Qing’an froze. He thought he had received preferential treatment because of his brother. He never expected that he was the source, and his big brother was actually the innocent one who got implicated.

When he acquired the rare characteristic of Chun Yang, he knew he brought on a celestial catastrophe. Though he was unconscious during his transformation, Dong Huang experienced it all.

But in retrospect, she only mentioned it briefly, and he didn’t think that such a random, overlooked matter could cause such a massive uproar.

“Your older brother’s attitude is unyielding and shows no intention of joining a Daoist gate or a Buddhist temple. When you expressed your intention of cultivation, it made those high monks and true persons become impatient.”

“Thank you for your clarification, Demonic God!”

“No need to thank me. This is a public matter that everyone knows. It’s just that no one has made it clear to you. As for choosing a sect, I would advise you not to rush. Take your time.”

“Do you have any recommendations, Demonic God?”

“I only know something about the sects in Da Jin, which you certainly have no interest in. As for those outside of Da Jin, I have no knowledge about them. So, don’t make things difficult for me!”

Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s question, the city’s Demonic God laughed. He had only gained some understanding of the vastness of the world through his interactions with the Taoists and monks.

“I was being presumptuous!”

Feng Qing’an also laughed. There was no point in asking a Demonic God about such matters; he would have to find out for himself.

Even though he had come into contact with several prestigious sects, Feng Qing’an felt unmoved, as if missing something essential, even though all seemed pleasant enough.

“Now that all is settled, do you have any more questions?”

“No more!”

Feng Qing’an considered for a moment, then shook his head. He didn’t have much in common with the city’s Demonic God, and he had already asked most of the pertinent questions.

“If there’s nothing else, then I’ll accompany you home. Where do you live? It saves some chatter, and you might find a brief respite, though I fear it won’t last long!”

“A brief period of peace would suffice. Thank you for your trouble, Demonic God!”

Upon hearing this, Feng Qing’an did not refuse. He could imagine that the entrance to the Underworld was probably blocked by a group of Taoists and monks. If he took the same route out, he would surely be harassed.

“It’s no trouble at all!”
