The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 204 On the eve of the final, awaiting the opportune moment, preaching.
Hong couldn't help but feel sympathy for the Grim Reaper, Berlan.

Right now, the entire universe is commenting and believing that Death God Berlan will be the winner of this ultimate battle of geniuses in the universe.

The spot in the Primal Secret Realm is undoubtedly his.

Because the other party's fame had already spread far and wide, and the whole universe was watching.

Imagine, during the ultimate battle of geniuses in the universe, a Qin Hao who is far more powerful than the opponent suddenly appears.

At this point, I wonder what the other person will think?
Hong thought back to when he and Thor were still on Earth. Although he had high hopes for the newcomers, he couldn't help but feel jealous.

If I hadn't adjusted my mood, and also because the other party was, after all, a hero who saved Earth from the monster plague, I wouldn't have been able to do so.

I'm afraid both he and Thor will start to question their existence.
After waiting for quite a while, the strange phenomenon finally disappeared.

Hong Helei and the others are still waiting here, wondering if Qin Hao will come out of seclusion.

Zhang Yuanbai and others have all appeared here, including the old master Zhang Daoli. They have all won the arena competition or the revival competition and qualified for the finals of the genius battle.

Leilei, Guang, and others, along with two other geniuses from the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, all qualified.

On the contrary, Wei Wen was a little unlucky, encountering stronger opponents three times and losing in the arena matches.

Standing there now, Wei Wen felt a little embarrassed.

Of all of Master's disciples, it seems that everyone except him qualified for the finals.

But I'm the only one who doesn't have it.

This made him stand out from the crowd.

Yes, the food was too obviously bad.

He felt somewhat annoyed, realizing that he had wasted too much time in the past.

But time passed by, and after waiting for a long time, Qin Hao still hadn't come out of seclusion.

"It seems that the third brother has gained some insights, so he won't be out of seclusion so soon."

"That's alright, we've already finished the previous arena matches. Since we won't be participating in the finals anytime soon, let's focus on quiet cultivation and absorb what we've learned from the arena matches as quickly as possible. We'll wait for the finals to begin."

"it is good."

Qin Hao was aware of what was happening outside, but at this moment, he was still comprehending the Law of Thunder.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation continues.

The speed at which one comprehends the laws remains rapid.

"Therefore, calamity is also an opportunity; it all depends on whether people can seize it."

This was already the seventh and ninth tribulation of lightning.

Qin Hao was already struggling to keep up; relying solely on his own domain, the intensity of the lightning tribulation was already exceeding his limits.

"It seems we have no choice but to use a magic weapon."

A scroll of Yin-Yang Taiji diagram emerged and landed beneath Qin Hao. The golden bridge unfolded, stabilizing the earth, fire, water, and wind.

Above his head, a magnificent pagoda floated, casting down a clear light that enveloped Qin Hao.

After being weakened by the domain, the lightning was once again protected by the exquisite pagoda and weakened again.

Upon arriving beside Qin Hao, he was frozen in place by the golden bridge.

They cannot get close to him.

Only a tiny amount, just enough for his own body to withstand, was allowed in by Qin Hao to refine his physical body.

At this time, Ye Fan and Pang Bo had already returned.

Ye Fan obtained a flying boat treasure from Qin Hao, which made his travel speed very fast.

But once outside the palace, Ye Fan and Pang Bo dared not approach.

"I can't believe it, this is a tribulation of lightning."

"It is said that cultivators will undergo tribulations. But isn't it said that only geniuses and those with profound accumulation in the Four Extremes Secret Realm will undergo tribulations?" Pang Bo suddenly said.

Ye Fan said, "It's obvious that Master has already advanced to the Fourth Extreme Secret Realm. Besides, do you think Master is talented enough?"

Ok?
Pang Bo thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

"However, I heard that most of the people in those blessed lands that appeared outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land were from the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm. Only a few elders and the sect leader were from the Dao Palace Secret Realm, and most of them were only at the first level of the Dao Palace."

“You’re right. I’ve also been gathering some information these past few days. I can’t believe our master is from Earth. And he had already reached the Dao Palace Realm while he was on Earth. It’s unbelievable.”

As they were talking, the Seven-Nine Tribulation had already passed.

"This must be the eighth or ninth tribulation of lightning? It's terrifying."

“We didn’t even dare to get close, we were filled with fear, we don’t know how Master faced it.”

"so amazing."

Meanwhile, the formidable Qin Hao was still pondering whether to refine a Thunder Pool.

This thing can absorb some lightning, or rather, the lightning pool can absorb all energy and transform it into lightning water.

These lightning-infused waters can not only serve as spiritual liquids for cultivation.

It can also be used as excellent nourishing rain to cultivate spiritual plants.

In this respect, the lightning water is considered a rather good rain, far more effective than the rain brought down by the rain-summoning spell cast by ordinary cultivators.

However, the efficiency of converting thunder water into thunder water in the Thunder Pool is definitely not as fast as that of converting spirit liquid into spirit liquid in the Spirit Pool.

However, everyone has their own expertise. The lightning water or lightning liquid of the Thunder Pool is indeed very effective in cultivating spiritual plants and healing injuries.

"However, to exchange for the refining method of the Thunder Pool, a considerable amount of sect contribution points are required."

Qin Hao pondered this in his mind.

Currently, there is a demonic calamity in the Qianyang Realm, so it's quite easy to accumulate sect contribution points.

Killing demons and quelling demonic calamities will earn you varying amounts of sect contribution points.

However, at the same time, exchanging superior methods also requires sect merits.

This is quite difficult.

The last time Qin Hao wanted to exchange for the secret technique of the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram, he was ordered by his sect to kill enough demons.

But that time it was in the Cangling Secret Realm.

The opportunity has passed; killing demons no longer accumulates merit for the sect.

"There is another way, which is through donations from sects. Ordinary materials and resources are naturally not enough. But the Medicine King can."

The Medicine King is equivalent to the best thing under the Immortal Realm, if not for the longevity factor in the world of Shrouding the Heavens being destroyed.

The Medicine King of this world is a rare treasure that can only be used in the celestial realm.

It just goes to show that the world is different, and so are the rules.

"Let's wait and see. This Thunder Pool is still very useful for cultivators of the Thunder Law."

His disciple Zhang Yuanbai is a practitioner of the Thunder Law. If possible, Qin Hao would like to exchange one for him.

Of course, I also exchanged for the method of refining the Thunder Pool.

They can refine a few more items themselves, but the sect doesn't care.

All you need to do is protect the method of refining the Thunder Pool; it should not be easily passed on to outsiders.

At this moment, Weiwei and the others had also arrived.

"Is this the palace of that senior Qin Hao?"

"It's quite close to our Lingxu Cave Heaven, perhaps we can get closer to the senior."

The word "closeness" itself carries a slightly gritting tone.

This senior actor, Qin Hao, also mentioned that he would be leaving after a while.

They saw the other side building a palace and setting up formations here.

Where is there even a hint of intention to leave?

Could it be that they want to take over their Lingxu Cave in the future?
Even if something is broken, it's still good.

They wouldn't think that Qin Hao, with his strength, would look down on what they had in Lingxu Cave Heaven.

They all have a kind of persecution complex, always feeling that Qin Hao's stay here is ill-intentioned.

Little did they know, Qin Hao was simply waiting for an opportunity to arrive.

Of course, Qin Hao would never say that.

"Haha, Weiwei, and everyone from Lingxu Cave Heaven, you all arrived quickly."

Weiwei turned around and saw Ma Yun from Jade Cauldron Cave, with Zhou Yi by his side.

Previously, many people from various grotto-heavens came and tried to take over Ye Fan's classmates, even resorting to violence.

In the end, Weiwei came out on top and chose Liu Yiyi first.

Jack Ma followed suit and chose Zhou Yi.

It must be said that they have a good eye for talent.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group turned to look in the direction of Qin Hao's palace.

Jack Ma exclaimed, "Such formidable strength, such profound experience. Is this person truly from the Western Desert?"

Zhou Yi, standing beside him, remained silent.

Although they were very dissatisfied with Qin Hao, everyone tried their best to hide their backgrounds.

It's unclear whether this is for the protection of the Earth or to cover up their own mysterious origins.

In any case, everyone is the same way; on this point, they are quite in sync.

"It's finally over, the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation."

Qin Hao sighed, then activated the formation and transmitted his voice to Ye Fan: "I still need to go into seclusion to consolidate my strength. You will be in charge of receiving the fellow cultivators from the grotto heavens."

The other self in the world of Shrouding the Heavens has already advanced to the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

Further practice will require more insight and understanding.

While his resource advantage will continue, its weight will decrease slightly.

Qin Hao then stopped interfering, as for the fear and apprehension these people from the blessed lands had towards him.

As long as you have the ability, there's nothing to worry about.

He needs to wait for an opportunity, for the opening of the Azure Emperor's tomb.

That was a stroke of luck.

However, for now, Qin Hao has transferred his true spirit back to the Swallowed Star World.

Let's finish the battle of geniuses first.

Opening his eyes, Qin Hao got up and walked out of the secret room.

Hong and the others were waiting there, silently exchanging their takeaways from the previous arena match.

After digesting the information, I believe their strength will see a significant improvement.

"The third child."

"Master."

"Pavilion Master."

The terms of address are different, but they are all used to refer to Qin Hao.

This is a reception room, with quite a few seats.

Qin Hao gestured for everyone to sit down. "It's alright, everyone. This tournament was great; I watched it all, and you all performed very well. But in the finals, you all need to work hard and strive for a good ranking, ideally within the top 1,000 in the entire universe. That way, you can enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company. Even if you don't make it, joining the Qianwu Secret Realm is also a good option."

Everyone's lips twitched slightly. Is it so easy to be among the top 1,000 in the entire universe?
The requirements for the Qianwu Secret Realm are much lower, but it's not a place that just anyone can join.

Admittedly, it's actually quite easy for ordinary members of the Dry Witch Secret Realm.

You don't need to be very old to join; you can join by spending money.

But that's meaningless.

Qin Hao's joining the Qianwu Secret Realm was definitely aimed at becoming a core member, because only by becoming a core member could one receive training from the Qianwu Secret Realm.

It's not just about providing resources, but also about various secret techniques.

In this regard, the Heavenly Craft Pavilion also provided many secret techniques.

It must be said that the two geniuses from Tiangong Pavilion who successfully broke through and entered the finals were truly remarkable.

Its strength should not be underestimated.

But in reality, one crucial aspect of their success was their mastery of the Five-Colored Warrior Summoning Secret Technique.

These two have cultivated this secret technique to an extremely profound level.

The summoned five-colored warriors are extremely powerful, even exceeding their own strength.

However, this summoning technique was not prohibited from use.

It's neither a puppet nor a one-time use treasure.

"Alright, now I will begin my sermon. Just to let everyone know, those from the Heavenly Craft Pavilion who wish to hear my sermon, come. See you in the virtual universe."

With the finals just around the corner, Qin Hao felt that other methods wouldn't offer much improvement for these players. As for things like practical experience, he didn't think they needed to be emphasized.

With such a short time, the improvement will be limited.

We should preach the Dharma to improve their understanding of the laws.

Everyone else left one by one, until finally, only Wei Wen remained.

Qin Hao glanced at Wei Wen, knowing that he had lost his chance to qualify for the finals due to bad luck.

However, right now, of his five apprentices, only he has lost his qualification.

In addition to Hong, Lei Shen, Zhang Daoli, and two geniuses from the Tiangong Pavilion.

Besides Qin Hao, a total of nine people from Tiangong Pavilion made it to the finals.

Wei Wen probably felt ashamed and even more so that he had let Qin Hao down.

After a moment's hesitation, Qin Hao said, "I know about your situation. It's not a matter of poor performance; you just had a bit of bad luck."

Wei Wen nodded, feeling slightly better.

Qin Hao added, "But you also need to understand that luck is also very important."

After all, the adventures to come are other things.

You can't expect your opponents to be necessarily worse than you. Therefore, you need to work even harder, understand?

Wei Wen breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that if his master kept comforting him, he wouldn't be happy.

But I'm also a little afraid of being constantly scolded.

This level is just right.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. It's all in the past, and dwelling on it won't change anything. Let's focus on what we need to do next."

They didn't even make it to the finals, so there's no point in even thinking about the Qianwu Secret Realm.

His aptitude isn't very good, so it seems he can only stay in the Heavenly Craft Pavilion.

Fortunately, Qin Hao couldn't let everyone leave either.

He also needs someone to preside over the Tiangong Pavilion.

He would leave a clone behind to oversee things, but he would also need someone to carry out his orders.

We cannot allow all the talented people we cultivate to leave.

Soon, news of Qin Hao's sermon spread.

Those who are able to attend should arrange their own affairs as soon as possible, go online, and come to the lecture hall of Tiangong Pavilion.

Qin Hao requested a huge space here, and he sat upright on the central lectern.

All around, there are lotus platforms, each representing a seat and a quota.

Listening to the sermon requires consuming contribution points.

In the early stages of Qin Hao's sermons, anyone could come and listen.

But gradually, his skills improved, and his preaching became more effective.

To participate, one also needs to consume the contribution points of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion.

Things that are too easily obtained are never truly appreciated.

You only feel the pain when you've given something yourself.

In no time, more than three thousand people had arrived.

Many of these people are still on Earth; they came here through their second lives.

Qin Hao's second life can also access the virtual universe, but it requires Qin Hao's permission, and they are not allowed to speak freely.

In fact, Qin Hao felt that the information about Second Life had probably already been leaked.

That great being who created the virtual universe must have a profound understanding of it.

However, since the other party did not respond, Qin Hao did not try to test them.

After all, he couldn't possibly know of that person's existence.

Even among the higher echelons of the human race, not everyone knows of that being's existence.

"Alright, let's begin the sermon."

"Thunder is both destruction and rebirth..."

This time, Qin Hao explained his understanding of thunder, which made Thor, Zhang Yuanbai, and others realize the truth and gain a lot.

But he didn't just explain thunder; he touched on all ten laws.

Starting from the basics, this explains how to take a martial art, from beginner to understanding its essence, comprehending its domain, and finally elevating it to a law.

Everyone listened with rapt attention; even if they didn't understand the specific rules, it wasn't entirely useless.

Stones from other mountains can attack jade.

There are commonalities in understanding the principles.

Qin Hao also explained some secret techniques, such as the Five-Colored Warrior Summoning Technique, which he explained many times, allowing everyone present to gain a great understanding.

In reality, the practice and use of this secret method...

Users need to use some extra mental energy to temper the Five-Colored Warrior.

This is a win-win situation.

However, Qin Hao doesn't respond to just anyone, unless it's someone he approves of.

Otherwise, even if they had mastered the secret techniques, it would have been impossible to summon the Five-Colored Warriors from Qin Hao's talisman realm.

In the Five-Colored Warrior Summoning Secret Technique, there is a positioning method and a symbol that indicates identity.

If one's identity is not approved, one naturally cannot summon the Five-Colored Warriors.

In other words, the world of Swallowed Star doesn't really follow cause and effect.

If it were a world where the law of cause and effect prevails, the Five-Colored Warriors would be summoned to do evil.

The cause and effect will also extend to the master of the Five-Colored Warriors, namely Qin Hao.

"No wonder, those secret methods of the sages, if not seen by a person with the right affinity who has been recognized, it is impossible to comprehend any of the methods from them."

Moreover, not just anyone can cultivate these Five-Colored Warrior Talismans.

Only the core principles of Taoist tradition can be passed down.

Qin Hao did not teach the Five-Colored Warriors the cultivation talisman, but only gave them a summoning talisman.

This means that only Qin Hao has actually cultivated the Five-Colored Warrior Talisman; the others are merely using it.

In addition to the Five-Colored Warrior Summoning Secret Technique, Qin Hao also explained some other secret techniques based on various laws.

For example, Qin Hao has also mastered the spatial secret technique of the Myriad Flows.

His clear and concise explanations greatly enhanced everyone's understanding of this secret technique.

The core members have all had their potential as mental cultivators awakened by Qin Hao, and they can all cultivate this skill.

It is also quite helpful in combat.

This sermon lasted for three days.

Qin Hao then finished his sermon: "Alright, this sermon is over."

We will notify you when the next meeting will be held.

Qin Hao would occasionally give sermons, also to support the geniuses of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion.

Gradually increase the stickiness of Tiangongge.

Otherwise, once the geniuses improve their strength, they might be recruited by other, better, and stronger forces.

That day, all the work of the craftsmanship pavilion was wasted.

A force's healthy development hinges on its ability to retain its personnel.

When everyone opened their eyes, they were all somewhat reluctant to leave.

However, many people were already starving and, having not yet reached a certain level of spiritual attainment, were still unable to break free from the shackles of food.

Those who cannot live on air must replenish their energy.

Fortunately, everyone here is a martial arts practitioner with decent strength, so we can manage to last three days.

Moreover, they became so engrossed in listening to the sermon that they unconsciously neglected their own hunger.

"I wish I could listen for three more days."

"I've gained a lot; I'm going into seclusion now."

"I need to eat first, I'm a little hungry."

"Before listening to the sermon next time, first consume some nutrient solution and seal it within your body. Then let it slowly release to replenish the energy consumed."

"Don't you know? I've always done it this way."

"what?"

"The sermons of the Pavilion Master are so precious. It would be a great loss to miss them because of hunger."

"learned."

One genius after another was talking here, and then they disappeared.

They all have their own lives.

Since all humans on Earth reached the eighth level, geniuses have been emerging one after another.

Although no genius like Qin Hao has yet emerged, nor like Hong He or Luo Feng, and even those of a slightly higher caliber like Zhang Yuanbai are extremely rare.

But there are already quite a few like Wei Wen.

Wei Wen only benefited from Luo Feng's influence; otherwise, he wouldn't have met Qin Hao's requirements for accepting disciples.

However, these geniuses have already lost their chance to compete in the Genius Battle; they were born at the wrong time.

We'll have to wait another five thousand years for the next battle of geniuses.

They definitely can't wait any longer.

So sometimes, luck is also very important.

Hong and Luo Feng exchanged glances, then left in tacit agreement. After eating, they began their seclusion.

The time for the final battle is not far off.

There's definitely not much improvement in practical experience.

However, this sermon still significantly improved their understanding of the laws.

Qin Hao's strength is formidable, and his understanding of the laws is even deeper, which is largely due to this factor.

But even more important is Qin Hao's "Learning the Flame" principle, which is incredibly useful for spreading the teachings.

As everyone went into seclusion, a total of ten members of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, including Pavilion Master Qin Hao, entered the top 1,000 of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and obtained a spot to participate in the finals of the Universe Peak Genius Battle.

It was also leaked out.

This means that Tiangong Pavilion occupies one percent of the population.

One out of the one hundred spots available for the Qianwu Universe Kingdom to participate belongs to the Tiangong Pavilion.

The probability was so high that it immediately attracted a lot of attention.

It even attracted the attention of spies from other ethnic groups.

"Investigate, find out exactly what happened."

"What secret did they obtain to achieve this result?"

"Two of them are ranked number one in the world, which directly secures their spots."

"The others are all arena matches, and some even participated in the revival matches."

"Some people even missed out on opportunities because of bad luck."

As messages were sent out, many people were mobilized and began heading towards the Heavenly Craft Pavilion.

In one of those small worlds, a bald man also received the news and was immediately jolted.

"This is a huge secret that must be investigated thoroughly."

If there are any special treasures, we must seize them.

"Could it be some kind of primordial treasure? Otherwise, how could so many people stand out from the crowd?"

"Check, get to the bottom of it."

"We must find them, as well as these geniuses from the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, raise their ranks, and send people to assassinate them."

Suddenly, a storm was brewing, and Tiangong Pavilion seemed to have become the eye of the storm, attracting many people.

The thirteen divine generals also received this news and immediately reported it to the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

And it received a response from the king.

"Is it this Tiangong Pavilion again? Let's investigate."
