Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 691
Chapter 691: Chapter 25 Subconsciously Started to Have a Good Impression Chapter 691 -25 Subconsciously Started to Have a Good Impression “`
If Senior Sister An really killed True Person Miaodan, what should we do?
The answer is, we can do nothing.
Among cultivators, even though there are no worldly laws to confine us, common moral standards still hold, of which the most fundamental is “murder for a life.”
To cross the line of murder for a life, one must somehow deal with the victim’s family, by intimidation or temptation, neither of which Qingluo Peak is currently capable of.
So, if Senior Sister An really did kill True Person Miaodan, the only public course of action besides submitting to punishment would be for Ling Yunpo to lead a defection from Shushan, becoming a fugitive…
most defectors generally do so because they have committed serious violations of the sect’s rules.
It would be better to consider how to stop Senior Sister An instead, after all, the news from Kunlun is “suspected of killing a fellow sect member,” not conclusive evidence; that means there is still room to maneuver.
In the past, Ling Yunpo was quite confident in his handling of Senior Sister An.
...
After all, having fought privately with fellow disciples so many times without ever really making a mistake, showed she never lost her cool or rationality…
Forget it, she’s already suspected of killing a fellow sect member, I have no confidence in Senior Sister An whatsoever.
Soon, the Jade Capital Sect Leader emerged from the rear hall, solemnly admonishing the six of them, explaining how difficult it was for Shushan to secure six spots in the competition, urging everyone to give their all and not to bring shame to the sect.
Ling Yunpo listened quietly on the side, thinking, Sect Leader, you probably don’t know, Shushan had six people go but only three got in.
Kunlun sent three and all three made it in.
Whether that’s considered a loss or not, we definitely didn’t have much face left.
After the pre-departure instructions ended, everyone went out to join the assembly with cultivators from Kunlun and Penglai, then stepped onto the treasure ship the Jade Capital Sect Leader had thrown and began flying in the direction of Xihua Peak.
Ling Yunpo, with arms crossed, leaned against the ship’s railing, not bothering to glance at Qiu Changtian of the past or Luo Yan of the future, just silently pondering.
The same question remained: if fighting was not allowed in the secret realm, then how did the victim die?
Could Senior Sister An really be the murderer?
As he pondered, he suddenly felt as if the air conditioning had been turned on, the temperature dropping abruptly in a moment.
When Ling Yunpo came to his senses, he saw An Zhisu and Xu Yinglian once again locked in a glaring battle, charging the atmosphere with such tension that other cultivators retreated to keep their distance.
“Senior Sister!” he hurriedly went over to grasp An Zhisu’s arm, urging her to calm down, “Don’t get into a conflict with someone from Kunlun; it won’t look good when the Jade Capital Sect Leader comes to see us!”
“But she started it!” An Zhisu still wouldn’t give in, stubbornly retorting.
Ling Yunpo’s head ached-aren’t you being childish?
???G?.??
What’s the point of fighting here!
He was about to continue persuading her when Shi Liuli approached with a smile and said:
“Jiao Xiao True Person, why are you and Qiong Ying True Person staring at each other?
Are you practicing some unique cultivation technique?”
Though her words sounded like sarcasm, her expression was completely normal, showing no trace of mockery, which made An Zhisu somewhat embarrassed, finally moving her gaze away and saying:
“It’s nothing, just a minor issue.”
Well done, Miss Shi!
Ling Yunpo sent a grateful look her way, while Shi Liuli simply smiled and then turned back to Luo Yan’s side.
The rest of the process need not be elaborated; in short, everyone eventually arrived at Xihua Peak.

Then Shi Liuli and Jian Buyan performed a divination together, found a clue, Luo Yan discovered traces of an altar, activated the light path, and then the Demon Path cultivators who were lying in ambush stormed in.
Without saying a word, Ling Yunpo grabbed An Zhisu and was the first to rush up the light path.
Seeing this, the rest of the people finally reacted and hurriedly jostled to follow suit.
The higher the Sky-Reaching Light Path, the steeper and more difficult it became.
An Zhisu was struggling with the slope, so she had to forcibly steady herself and used her arms from behind to brace Ling Yunpo, shouting:
“`
“Junior Brother!
Hold on first!”
Ling Yunpo knew that even if you didn’t climb upwards, the path of light was still moving upwards continuously, so it was a close call but without danger.
Still, he subconsciously blurted out:
“Senior Sister, I’ll release the Green Duckweed Sword in a moment, grab its hilt, and then I’ll shoot the Flying Sword upwards with all my might.
How high I can take you will entirely depend on luck!”
“What?” An Zhisu was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and protested excitedly, “How can this be?”
It was always the senior sister protecting the junior brother; never had there been a reason for a junior brother to make a sacrifice for his senior sister.
She quickly retorted:
“Your method is not bad, only you’ve chosen the wrong person.
I am a Second Grade Golden Core cultivator, my True Yuan is far more robust than yours, why don’t I send you up with my Flying Smoke Sword?
The odds would be greater.”
Ling Yunpo then took on a resolute look and said vehemently:
“No!
How can I abandon my Senior Sister and go on alone?”
“And I can’t sacrifice my junior brother either!” An Zhisu’s eyes reddened slightly.
So this was not going to end, huh?
Ling Yunpo sneered in his heart, then suddenly thought of something else, and said curiously:
“Senior Sister, what if you grabbed the Green Duckweed Sword and I grabbed the Flying Smoke Sword, and we each propelled our Life-bound Sword Artifacts upwards?
Couldn’t we then break through the Sword Riding Prohibition here?”
An Zhisu paused upon hearing this.
The so-called flying restrictions forbid cultivators from flying by any means.
For instance, if someone tries to fly with sword control and the prohibition detects it, it would forcefully smash them down, just like what happened to Junior Sister Xu.
But what if I were holding someone else’s Flying Sword?
Since the Flying Sword is not under my control, strictly speaking, it’s not me flying, but rather something else carrying me aloft…
The two didn’t have to ponder long, as the path of light finally tilted to a complete vertical, leaving no place to steady themselves.
An Zhisu subconsciously shot out the Flying Smoke Sword, and shouted:
“Junior Brother, grab it!”
Ling Yunpo also released the Green Duckweed Sword, and each of them grabbed the hilt of the other’s sword with one hand, while with the other hand, they desperately clutched the Sword Technique, attempting to propel the swords upward.
The result was as if gravity worked abnormally here; despite their full effort to propel the Flying Swords, their bodies still uncontrollably fell downwards-albeit at a slightly slower pace, somewhat like parachuting.
Once they landed on the ground, Ling Yunpo looked around and realized that they were already inside the Golden Que Secret Realm.
“Is this the Golden Que?” An Zhisu looked at the distant pavilions and towers with amazement and asked.
“It seems so,” said Ling Yunpo as he drew out the Green Duckweed Sword, and spoke in a calm tone, “Senior Sister, be careful, I’ll protect you.”
An Zhisu offered a gracious smile, then summoned the Flying Smoke Sword to her side, saying:
“It’s better if we stick together.”
The two of them, as if facing a formidable enemy, moved cautiously, carefully exploring ahead with every step.
After walking around approximately two corners, they suddenly turned to see several maids approaching from ahead, who smiled and said:
“So you were here!
Both of you Sword Immortals, please follow us to meet the True Person.”
