My teacher is a deity.

Chapter 61 What does it mean that I am the Great Khan?

To be honest, Shi Qing didn't know.

He sighed silently; the Daoists were all very mysterious.

Not only did they know very little about them, but they also had vague knowledge of the sect's legacy that they left behind.

The only confirmed instance of achieving harmony with the Dao is the split within Daoism.

Long ago, Taoism experienced a severe split, resulting in two opposing factions.

On one side is the Taiqing Sect, which emphasizes tranquility, inaction, and detachment from worldly possessions, led by Daoist Yuchen.

On the other side is the Shangqing School, which emphasizes the unity of heaven and the order of all things, with Laozi as its leader.

The conflict between the two schools of thought intensified, to the point that Taoism was torn apart into the Puppet School and the Legalist School.

"Forget it, if you can't figure these things out, then don't think about them anymore."

Shi Qing shook his head, banishing those thoughts, and began to think about the journey ahead.

At that moment, Vichy suddenly let out a soft hum.

"woke up?"

"Teacher, where are we?"

Vishi opened her eyes and looked around. All around her was a torrent of magic, and a dazzling light flowed in her eyes, which was extremely spectacular.

"The underground world, a tributary whose destination is unknown."

"The underground world?"

Vishi paused for a moment, lay on the soul boat, looked up at the sky, and felt a surge of exhaustion and thirst.

"Teacher, is it possible for us to never go back?"

"Well, your dream of going to college is ruined, kid."

Upon hearing this, Vichy's face immediately turned bitter.

When Shi Qing manipulated her body, she was still relatively conscious, witnessing firsthand how she brutally beat up the academy's teachers. If she were to go to the academy one day, she would probably become infamous.

But to say I regret it wouldn't be accurate.

After all, her main purpose in taking the Imperial University entrance exam was to earn some subsidies for the nuns.

nun.......

Suddenly, Vichy felt a lump in her throat and was overcome with sadness.

It seems I really can't go back.

"Is this what it means to be a rogue cultivator?"

"Yes, that's right, these are rogue cultivators."

Shi Qing's voice came through.

"We barely have enough to eat, and we're constantly being chased by various sects. We're risking our lives for every meal."

Vichy was taken aback, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Teacher, where are we going now?"

"Where to?"

Shi Qing lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at the navigation chart of the Soul Ship.

He originally intended to find a place with abundant magic to cultivate in seclusion with Vishi, but the sudden change in the time-reversal magic gave him a new idea.

Instead of spending thousands of years in arduous cultivation, it would be better to find an opportunity to shatter the miracles of the demigods, obtain more of their Dao fruits, and reclaim one's own cultivation.

And the place with the most demigod miracles...

Shi Qing remained silent for a moment, then looked towards a certain spot.

"Let's go to the northern grasslands."

"The northern grasslands?!"

Vishi cried out in alarm. The northern grasslands were the battlefield between the Empire and the Shepherds, where countless mages were dragged into the bloody carnage every day.

Third-tier mages are just cannon fodder; only fourth-tier mages have a chance to survive.

If we're talking about the most dangerous place in the world, the northern grasslands definitely deserve a mention.

"Scared?"

"A little, no, don't be afraid! Even if the sky falls, you, teacher, will hold it up."

"Heh, you knew you'd find me to take the blame, so why did you give up using Starry Sky Escape earlier?"

"Uh, I'm sorry, teacher."

Shi Qing was too lazy to pay attention to his bratty apprentice.

"By the way, teacher, why did you suddenly decide to go to the North?"

"There are many miracles there, which will be useful to me."

"Ah! Teacher, are you also going to try and obtain the miracle from the medicine-seekers?"

"Seeking medicine from the people?"

Seeing that Shi Qing seemed puzzled, Vichy quickly explained.

"The Seekers are believers who follow [eternity], and the Shepherds are a branch of the Seekers."

"Oh, teacher, let me tell you, those people begging for medicine are crazy!"

Suddenly, Vichy became quite interested.

She waved her hands, making various gestures.

"The place with the most people seeking medicine in the world is the North. Those people seeking medicine are unreasonable and fight fiercely among themselves."

"Every seeker of medicine possesses a miracle left by an eternal demigod, and they covet the miracles left by other seekers of medicine."

"After all that fighting, only a few medicines left out of the original dozens!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Qing frowned immediately.

Raising Gu poison?

"This is clearly a demonic tactic. Didn't those people seeking the medicine think of that?"

"Of course there are. The previous Great Khan of the North had long ago denounced the demigods, saying they were a bunch of heartless scum who should have established a law and order instead of letting the people seeking medicine kill each other."

"So, the Great Khan was torn apart by his own men?"

Vichy was taken aback: "Teacher, how did you guess?"

"The law of the jungle is their order, and I suspect that with each miracle they absorb, the people seeking medicine will become stronger, right?"

Vichy nodded again; Shi Qing had guessed correctly.

"Currently, the strongest Star Shepherds in the North have occupied nearly ten miracles, and those miracles have bestowed various blessings upon the Star Shepherds."

I won't go into details about their strong physique, enhanced adaptability, and innate spellcasting abilities.

The most terrifying thing is that the Star Shepherds have developed in a very strange direction.

Unlike vampires, ancient elves, and empires, the technology of the Shepherds is based on flesh and blood. They cultivate beast ships, raise wood seas, and even tame mountains for their own use.

The weak are used to feed their mounts, the beast ships; the strong, however, rule over all.

The more Shi Qing listened, the more difficult it became for her to stay calm.

Which demonic sect passed down this Daoist technique?

In the past, the demonic sects would at least put on an act, waiting until their disciples matured before using the material to refine external forms and create human puppets.

Why is it that people are starting to get involved even among ordinary people now?

Even the creation of the Myriad Soul Banner needs to be sustainable.

However, upon hearing what Vichy said, Shi Qing completely let go of his resentment.

He was wondering if it would be too domineering of him to suddenly steal someone else's sacred object.

Now it seems that if others can go there, so can I.

If they can steal it, why can't I, a nobody from out of town, do the same?

......

A few days later, at an abandoned underground city node.

The soul boat slowly sailed out.

A faint sound of howling wind could be heard from outside.

Shi Qing landed on Vixi and then raised his hand to put the soul boat back into his Sumeru bag.

This is the northern land.

Unlike the Gem City to the south.

This place is quite wild, with Gobi Desert and rocky beaches everywhere. You can't even see a bird, let alone a person.

Oh, it's not that you can't see them at all.

Shi Qing looked towards the horizon, where a giant tree broke through the clouds, standing like a giant pillar on the horizon.

That is the homeland of the winged people seeking medicine, the Dome.

Having heard Vichy's introduction beforehand, Shi Qing decided to first visit this relatively weak group of medicine seekers to check on their situation.

As is customary, we should now conceal our identities, infiltrate the winged people's settlement to gather information, and then find an opportunity to incite a conflict between them and other medicine seekers, ultimately reaping the benefits.

Shi Qing was very familiar with this plan.

However, before Shi Qing could speak, a gust of wind suddenly blew by.

A winged girl suddenly appeared before them, her eyes sparkling.

"The High Priest is right!"

"The Great Khan has appeared!"
