Chapter 10: Liupan Star, Taiyuan Gate

Seeing Qu Yi’s lack of awareness, the two middle-aged men immediately stopped suppressing their aura of True Origin energy, revealing their cultivation at the late Divination stage.
“Why? Just because I’m at the late Divination stage and I belong to Guangyuan Gate?” snapped the older of the two men.
Guangyuan Gate was the most powerful sect on Taiqian Star, and behind it stood Taiyuan Gate.
As their auras spread, it affected everyone in the teleportation hall. After hearing their words, no one stepped in to intervene, watching instead to see how Qu Yi would handle the situation.
“I don’t care if you’re at the late Divination stage or from Guangyuan Gate. This is the teleportation hall of the Immortal Path Alliance, and everyone must follow its rules. Just because Guangyuan Gate is the strongest on Taiqian Star, does that mean it can surpass the Immortal Path Alliance?” Qu Yi said with a smile, ignoring their threats.
Hearing that Qu Yi referred to the Immortal Path Alliance, a giant in the cultivation world, the two men dared not argue further. The Immortal Path Alliance was an alliance formed by the four major cultivation sects, representing their common interests—who would dare oppose it?
“Very good. Your tactic of borrowing strength from others is clever. Can you tell me your background? I’ll definitely visit your sect. I’m curious to see what kind of sect can produce such a bold and arrogant disciple,” said the other man coldly.
The two men even thought about eliminating Qu Yi’s sect. Unbeknownst to them, Qu Yi’s sect, Xianyun Sect, had long been destroyed, and Qu Yi certainly wouldn’t tell them.
“Are you two crazy? Knowing it will offend you, why would I tell you my background?” Qu Yi said with a smile.
The cultivators in the hall burst into laughter.
“You…!” The two men pointed at Qu Yi, their faces twisted with anger. They wanted to strike him immediately but held back.
“You’re quite arrogant, but you need to have the strength to back it up. You’re going to Liupan Star, right? Well, we brothers are also heading there. Hopefully, we’ll meet again in the future,” said the older man coldly.
Qu Yi waved his hand and said with a smile, “I really don’t expect to run into you.”
The two men sneered before obediently lining up behind Li Lin, stepping forward slowly as they waited for teleportation.
…
Liupan Star—the core planet of the entire cultivation world, the ultimate destination for all cultivators.

On Liupan Star, the ten greatest cultivation sects in the cultivation world monopolize all the most advanced cultivation techniques, including those for the Tribulation Phase and the Mahayana Phase. Only by joining these ten sects can one have a chance to obtain them. Liupan Star has six continents, hence its name. These six continents are roughly the same size, each equivalent to that of a large planet. Arranged like six discs, they are strategically positioned in a highly symmetrical pattern across the planet’s six regions. The Qianhua Continent is entirely occupied by the most powerful cultivation sect, the Taiyuan Sect. The Houyuan Continent is shared by the LanYang Palace and the strongest demon cultivators from the BaiShouFeng. The Zouyou Continent is jointly controlled by the QingYun Sect and the demon cultivation sect, the CangYang Valley. The Youxian Continent is held by the YingTian Sect and the most powerful demon cultivation sect, the JinYang Religion. The Shanghan Continent is completely under the control of the demon cultivators from the XianYueYa. The Xiahuo Continent is entirely occupied by the demon cultivation sect, the BiYanFeng. These six continents are arranged in a front-back, left-right, top-bottom configuration and are occupied by nine sects. Additionally, all the oceans in the northern hemisphere are collectively called the Beihan Ocean, while those in the southern hemisphere are known as the Nanhuo Ocean. These two oceans fall under the jurisdiction of the Jiugong Island, a demon cultivation sect among the ten sects. There are actually two satellites in the sky near Liupan Star—one called the Moon, which helps people distinguish day from night, and another called TianHuoXing, whose surface is ablaze with celestial fire. This TianHuoXing is the location of the most famous immortal estate in the cultivation world, the Haotian Immortal Mansion. When teleporting from Taiqian Star to Liupan Star, there are only six destinations available, one for each continent. The spatial teleportation array on the Qianhua Continent is located in a place called Sihai City, which serves as a venue for the Taiyuan Sect to receive cultivators from other planets. At that moment, Qu Yi, Li Yu, and Li Lin arrived at the teleportation hall in Sihai City via the spatial teleportation array. Coincidentally, the two middle-aged men who had a conflict with Qu Yi also came out of another room in the teleportation hall. “Haha, kid, so you’ve come to join the Taiyuan Sect too. Great, I think we’ll meet again soon,” said the taller of the two men with a laugh. Qu Yi was stunned, not expecting these two to be on the Qianhua Continent as well. But he paid no attention to their threatening looks and smiled, saying, “Well, I hope you won’t see me again.”

In saying this, Qu Yi was actually acting in their best interests, but to the two of them, it sounded like he was giving up, so they left with loud laughter. Seeing their expressions, Qu Yi sighed, shook his head, and then left the teleportation hall with Li Yu and Li Lin.
…
Sihai City was located on the western coast of Qianhua Continent, while the headquarters of Taiyuan Gate was situated on Taiyuan Mountain in the center of the continent. If they relied solely on their own spiritual energy to fly, Qu Yi, Li Yu, and Li Lin, who were still in the early stages of spiritual cultivation, would need to fly continuously for a year. To save time, Qu Yi brought out a flying artifact called the Flowing Golden Boat.
The Flowing Golden Boat was a low-grade spiritual artifact-class flying artifact. When flying at full speed, its speed was comparable to that of strong cultivators in the early stages of fusion cultivation. Qu Yi had obtained it from one of the five leaders’ space rings while on Baiyin Star, and it was now perfect for flying.
Instead of wandering around Sihai City, the three of them left immediately and boarded the Flowing Golden Boat, heading straight for the center of the continent. Qu Yi then handed over control of the boat to Li Yu and Li Lin, while he entered the Dimensional Sphere to continue scanning the remaining part of the Binary Path.
Li Yu and Li Lin reluctantly accepted this order and took turns controlling the Flowing Golden Boat, flying swiftly through the skies.
In the air, several other Flowing Golden Boats were also flying fast—these were ships used by Taiyuan Gate to transport guests, as not everyone possessed the precious low-grade spiritual artifact. Thus, some cultivators had to pay a certain amount of high-grade spiritual stones to ride these boats across Qianhua Continent.
Of course, some strong cultivators in the fusion cultivation stage also owned their own Flowing Golden Boats, allowing them greater freedom of movement.
Two months passed, and Li Yu and Li Lin, piloting the Flowing Golden Boat, reached the center of Qianhua Continent, getting close to Taiyuan Mountain.
Qu Yi emerged from the Dimensional Sphere at the right moment, using one of his spiritual senses to sense the surroundings, while the other five continued scanning the Binary Path.
As the most powerful sect in the cultivation world, Taiyuan Gate’s headquarters, Taiyuan Mountain, was naturally the highest. Standing at 100,000 meters tall, its summit could be faintly seen from a great distance in the center of Qianhua Continent.
Around Taiyuan Mountain lay five massive valleys, each serving as one of Taiyuan Gate’s institutions: the Hall of Skill Transmission, the Hall of Law Enforcement, the Hall of Internal Affairs, the Hall of Artifacts, and the Hall of Elders.
As if to make their purposes clear, the names of these institutions appeared in the sky above each valley, formed by arrays at a height of a thousand meters.

Above a valley, the three characters “Enforcement Hall” appeared, shining brightly. Upon seeing them, Li Yu immediately steered the Golden Boat toward the valley where the Enforcement Hall was located. The reason for Qu Yi and his two companions’ journey was to use the enrollment letter from the Enforcement Team to join its ranks, as all members of the Enforcement Team lived in the Enforcement Hall. Naturally, their destination was the valley housing this hall.

“Wow, wow, wow! It seems we’re really fated to meet. I thought it would take a long time before we saw each other, but here we are after just two months.”

Just as Qu Yi and his companions landed at the entrance of the Enforcement Hall, formed by ten towering white pillars, two middle-aged men who had previously encountered Qu Yi also arrived there.

Qu Yi was taken aback. He felt a strong sense of fate connecting him to these two men, as they had followed him all the way from Taiqian Star to the entrance of the Enforcement Hall.

“Enough with the pleasantries. What brings you to the Enforcement Hall of Taiyuan Gate?” Qu Yi asked with a smile.

The two middle-aged men glanced at Li Yu and Li Lin. The taller one said with a smile, “It seems you’re here to join the Enforcement Team of Taiyuan Gate as well. Coincidentally, we’re also candidates sent by Guangyuan Sect to join the team.”

Upon hearing this, Qu Yi’s eyes narrowed as he quickly realized he would face some troubles in the Enforcement Team in the future. Guangyuan Sect was the most powerful cultivation sect in Taiqian Star and was directly affiliated with Taiyuan Gate. Among the members of Taiyuan Gate, the elders from Guangyuan Sect would surely be stronger and more numerous than the elders from Li’s family. Naturally, their influence within the Enforcement Team would also be significant.

“That’s right. We’re here to join the Enforcement Team. It seems we’ll have to interact more often from now on,” Qu Yi replied with a slight smile.

Although there were troubles ahead, Qu Yi wasn’t afraid at all. With his strength, he could easily destroy Guangyuan Sect if necessary. But under the current circumstances, he didn’t need to reveal his true power. Dealing with these two mid-stage Diversion cultivators was still quite easy for him.

The two men gave Qu Yi and his companions strange looks before strutting into the Enforcement Hall.

Qu Yi then tapped Li Yu and Li Lin and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. These ignorant fools think they can deal with me just because they have a slightly stronger backer. They’ll regret it.”

Hearing this, Li Yu and Li Lin’s expressions instantly calmed down. They began to trust Qu Yi’s words.

The three entered the Law Enforcement Hall, announced the name of Li family’s ancestral ancestor, Li Huan, and were then taken to a reception room to wait patiently. A day later, an old man with completely white hair floated lightly outside the reception room, entered with a gentle smile, and pushed the door open.
