Chapter 282 Arrival at Junyang City

Although Qianyuan Continent is known as a holy land for practitioners, with many sects of immortal and demon practitioners, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation.

Among the descendants of some practitioners, there will also be some who are not suitable for cultivation. Such people will be exiled from the sect, or left to fend for themselves, or placed somewhere to allow them to return to their mortal lives.

Over time, there were more and more such people. Together with some mortals who originally lived in Qianyuan Continent, these people would also combine and reproduce with each other, and gradually they developed into some large mortal kingdoms.

Sometimes, some outstanding "immortal seedlings" with talent for cultivation would occasionally be born in these mortal kingdoms. If these "immortal seedlings" could attract the attention of practitioners traveling outside, they would have the opportunity to rejoin the sect and be exposed to a wider world of cultivation.

It can be said that these mortal kingdoms also have the function of supplying fresh blood to various cultivation sects.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if there is a major war between practitioners, they will try their best to avoid areas where these mortal kingdoms gather, and try not to cause too much damage to them.

Junyang City is a medium-sized city belonging to the 'Da Yan Dynasty', an ordinary mortal kingdom in Qianyuan Continent.

The entire city is thousands of kilometers in radius, and there are billions of mortals living inside.

On this day, a master and a servant came to Junyang City.

In front of an imposing villa near Tiantong Avenue in the west of Junyang City, a tall, thin old man with a gray beard and gray clothes pushed the door open with a brocade-robed boy who looked about fifteen or six years old and was a little thin.

"Young Master, this is where we will live from now on. Please stay here first. If you are not satisfied with anything, please tell me and I will try my best to make arrangements."

The gray-robed old man Qiying smiled kindly at the brocade-robed boy beside him.

Although the boy was thin, his pair of dark eyes were exceptionally bright.

He hummed softly, but replied in a little adult tone:

"Uncle Qiying, I have already left Ziyang Sect. You don't need to call me Young Master anymore. Just treat me as a junior of your family and call me by my first name."

"Young Master, you are joking. How can I call you by your name?"

The old man in gray couldn't help but shake his head.

"We have already left Ziyang Sect and will be living in the mortal world from now on. Calling someone "young master" is really a bit eye-catching."

The boy shook his head and said, "How about this, from now on you can call me Young Master or Young Master. Anyway, don't mention the word Young Master anymore."

"This"

The gray-robed old man hesitated for a moment, then responded directly, "Yes, sir!"

"Ah."

The boy in brocade robe finally showed a smile.

"Uncle Qiying, I'm going to get familiar with the place first. If you have time, please help me find some books to read, such as travelogues, anecdotes, historical legends, etc. The more the better. Oh, and also find me some books on how to practice external skills for ordinary people."

"Yes, son."

The old man in gray smiled and nodded.

"Well, you can make the arrangements. Don't worry about me. I'll just walk around here by myself."

The brocade-robed boy gave another instruction, but then he went deep into the courtyard, leaving the gray-robed old man standing in the front yard in silence, wondering what he was thinking. The brocade-robed boy walked along the corridor of the courtyard, turning several turns, and soon came to a secluded courtyard.

He stopped running around, but sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard and started to daydream.

"Before, I stayed in the Ziyang Sect's lair, surrounded by a group of powerful immortals. I didn't dare to practice blindly, for fear that I would be discovered by accident."

The boy in brocade robes said silently in his heart, "I didn't expect that they would take the initiative to send me out. It's really God's help!"

The boy in brocade robe is the place where Zhou Yang's spiritual light resides.

Six years ago, his spiritual inspiration was carried by a mysterious golden air current and came to this world across endless time and space.

Later, his spiritual light was reincarnated into the son of the leader of Ziyang Sect, an extremely powerful sect of immortal cultivators in this world.

It should be a very happy thing to have such a background.

However, the opposite is true.

Because the body of this fetus was eroded by external forces while in the mother's womb, and a large amount of life energy was extracted and transferred to the body of another twin fetus, this body's origin and Dantian were severely damaged, and the entire Dantian even showed a "leakage in the sky" appearance.

This also resulted in this body being unable to gather Qi and transform it into pills, and naturally it had no chance of pursuing the path of cultivation.

After all, Ziyang Sect is a powerful sect composed entirely of immortal cultivators. A "waste" who is destined to be unable to embark on the path of cultivation will naturally not be able to stay in Ziyang Sect for a long time.

Especially since his father is the current leader of Ziyang Sect, it is even more impossible for him to take the lead in violating the sect's rules.

So, on the day when Zhou Yang turned six years old, under the arrangement of Mingxu Zhenren, the leader of Ziyang Sect and the father of this body, an inconspicuous old servant took the six-year-old Zhou Yang away from Ziyang Sect and traveled all the way to Junyang City to live.

If there were no unexpected circumstances, perhaps his fate would be to live his whole life in Junyang City, like the ordinary people in the city, growing up, becoming an adult, getting married, having children, until he grows old and ends his life in a dull manner.

"Before, I was always under the attention of a group of powerful immortal masters. I didn't even dare to send out too strong soul fluctuations, for fear of attracting their attention and being treated as an 'old monster' who had taken over their bodies and parasitized them, let alone trying to practice."

Zhou Yang, who looked like a five or six-year-old boy, said silently in his heart.

It was a coincidence that the father of this body, Mingxu Zhenren, was also named Zhou, and he happened to name the child "Yang", which happened to be the same name as Zhou Yang, thus saving him from some embarrassing situations.

"I didn't dare to try it before, but now I'm far away from Ziyang Sect, and I only have an old servant named Qiying by my side. I've received less attention, so I can try to practice."

The traditional way of cultivation in this world is to refine essence into qi, and then gather qi into the golden elixir.

Logically speaking, since his Dantian was damaged and his body was leaking, he couldn't embark on the path of cultivation.

But these are not a problem for Zhou Yang.

He is not a native of this world, and his mind contains a large number of different forms of cultivation methods.

Like the cosmic practice method of Devouring the World, and the "Star Change" method, one starts from the body and gradually transitions to the understanding of the laws, and there is no requirement to gather qi into pills. The other is a different way, directly changing the step of gathering qi into pills to condensing a group of "nebula" that is constantly circulating and gathering, thus embarking on the path of practice.

Both cultivation systems can allow Zhou Yang to easily solve the problem of "Heavenly Leak".

"Which method should I choose to practice?"
