Battle Through the Heavens: Soul Travels Through Clouds and Mountains, Becoming a Winning Artist

Chapter 9 Yun Congxin's Plan to Lie Down

Besides the reasons she gave Yun Yun, there was another reason that Yun Congxin was too embarrassed to say aloud.

Although she transmigrated to the Dou Qi Continent, Yun Congxin, as a vanguard of the rebellion, did not intend to live like Yun Shan before, who spent his days doing sect affairs and cultivation, living for hundreds of years without finding any fun, living like a machine.

Life is nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun. As the saying goes, "Drink today, for tomorrow we may die," and "It doesn't matter what happens later."

Besides, why did he go to such lengths to cultivate a good relationship with Xiao Yan? Wasn't it just to wait for the big shot to carry him?

If Xiao Yan had to work hard to cultivate before he arrived, and he still had to work hard to cultivate after he arrived, then wouldn't Xiao Yan's trip have been in vain?

That's definitely not possible!

Therefore, Yun Congxin devised a grand plan to lie low and prepare to cling to Xiao Yan's coattails, replace Hai Bodong's niche, and become the number one angel investor in the Dou Qi Continent.

To ensure their own peaceful retreat, the Yunlan Sect definitely needs to put in the effort to reorganize itself. It's like making the bed before lying down to avoid leaving sharp thorns or splinters that could prick you. Otherwise, given the current quality of the Yunlan Sect disciples, Yun Congxin might find himself facing a barrage of sharp knives the moment he lay down!

Secondly, such a large sect needs someone to manage it. If Yun Congxin lies down and becomes a hands-off manager, who can be competent to take over the role of steward of the Yunlan Sect?

Yun Yun is definitely not someone we can count on. Expecting her to suddenly have a breakthrough and lead the Yunlan Sect to become bigger and stronger and create new glories is not as good as hoping that Yun Potian will be reborn and take over the mess of the Yunlan Sect!

Yun Leng didn't need to think; he was the sharpest dagger aimed at him, one of the biggest obstacles preventing Yun Congxin from lying down peacefully.

So after much deliberation, Yun Congxin ultimately chose Nalan Yanran, whom he viewed with some respect.

At the very least, Nalan Yanran can win and lose gracefully, which makes her far superior to Yun Leng.

Moreover, with Nalan Yanran's talent, she is more than capable of being the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect.

Although Xiao Yan's level skyrocketed later on, and those who were once incredibly powerful quickly became insignificant, Nalan Yanran's level remained remarkable even amidst the overall devaluation.

With this talent, he could easily become the leader of a second-rate power in the Dou Qi Continent, let alone the Yunlan Sect, the only Dou Huang designated by the ancient clan as a "second-rate power".

So here's the question: after passing on the burden of Yunlan Sect to someone else, what will become of Yun Congxin?

First and foremost, we must go to Wutan City. There are quite a few fools in the Yunlan Sect who swore to restore the sect's reputation after the three-year agreement. They don't have the guts to confront Xiao Yan, but they are all eager to go to Wutan City to bully the weak.

Yun Congxin felt that instead of repeatedly issuing orders at Yunlan Sect and waiting for the furious Xiao Yan to come knocking on their door, it would be better to take the initiative and wait for him to come to Wutan City.

The former will cause the Firefly's favorability that you just gained to drop to zero in an instant. After that, no matter how hard you try to mend the rift, the best outcome will probably be that you are not purged and are merged into the Flame Alliance.

The latter is quite different; the chances of getting noticed are huge! I can adapt to the situation and follow the previous plan. Even if I can't stop the Soul Palace from taking Xiao Yan's father away, I can at least get rid of the Yunlan Sect.

What happens after we safely get through this sensitive period?

Yun Congxin lay in his study, covering his face with a wind-attribute Xuan-level cultivation manual, leisurely swinging his legs, and began to relax and let his thoughts wander.

Go explore Zhongzhou? That's too dangerous. Let's wait until we have at least the strength of a Dou Zun before exploring the areas ahead!

Staying in the Jia Ma Empire? That's not a good idea either. The main problem is that this place is too poor. You can't even find a decent historical site or adventure here. If you stay here, you might not be able to break through to the Dou Zun level even when your next lifespan comes.

Yun Congxin pondered for a long time and concluded that the Black Corner Region was a vibrant and thriving place. As the Florida of the Dou Qi Continent, it was a place where heroes from all corners of the world gathered to celebrate, bringing treasures and cultivation techniques from various sects, and even countless auctions to participate in!

Most importantly, the people on this land are all pretty weak; even the highest-ranking Earth Demon Old Ghost is only a High-Star Dou Zong.

Yun Congxin felt that if she went there, she would at least act like a tyrant, if not be able to walk sideways.

Yun Congxin couldn't stop smiling when she thought about her happy retirement life in the future.

"Grandmaster, the flying magical beast you requested has arrived." A knock sounded on the door, and Nalan Yanran's voice came from outside.

Yun Congxin quickly sat up. After putting away the wind-attribute cultivation manual, he flicked his finger lightly, and a gentle breeze quickly smoothed out the wrinkles he had just made while lying down.

This shameless fellow pretended to have just been diligently practicing his battle qi. He crossed his legs in a show of seriousness and said, "Come in."

Nalan Yanran pushed open the door and entered. She had now taken off the dashing clothes of the young sect leader and changed into the blue clothes worn by maids.

Although this outfit wasn't as magnificent as the young sect leader's, it still couldn't hide Nalan Yanran's delicate and pretty face, especially the belt around her waist, which accentuated the girl's graceful figure.

It turns out that Liu Yifei can make even a simple vest look stylish, and Daniel Wu still looks dashing in a tank top! As long as you're good-looking, you'll look good in anything.

"The beast tamer asked me to inquire on his behalf about your destination so he can make preparations in advance," Nalan Yanran asked.

"Well, I'll talk to him about that myself when the time comes," Yun Congxin said with a mysterious smile. "But this trip will take quite a while, so go and prepare some things."

"...Huh?" Nalan Yanran raised her head blankly. Although she answered, she didn't know what she should prepare.

Having been pampered since childhood, she had no concept of packing luggage. As the eldest daughter of the Nalan family and the young sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, she might lack anything in her storage ring, but she would never lack gold coins!

So she always buys whatever she needs.

This shows the good intentions behind Yao Lao's decision to take Xiao Yan to the Monster Mountain Range first. In such a remote place, if you don't have enough supplies, you're really in for a tough time!

"...Never mind the rest, but bring plenty of pills. If you really don't know what to bring, just bring everything. Your storage ring is big enough anyway," Yun Congxin said. "After all, this is the first time you've prepared everything yourself, so don't worry about forgetting anything. Go on."

"Yes, Grandmaster."

"Hey!"

Watching Nalan Yanran's graceful figure disappear in a flurry of activity, Yun Congxin suddenly let out a wicked grin.

Taking Nalan Yanran to Wutan City sounds exciting!
