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

Early in the morning, at Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain.

The Taoist priests of the Quanzhen School had all gotten up; it was supposed to be time for their morning prayers.

Today, Chongyang Palace is bustling with activity.

The morning classes have all been cancelled.

"Yin Zhiping, tell me, what exactly is that legendary junior grandmaster like?" Zhao Zhijing asked his junior brother beside him.

His heart was actually very unsettled.

In recent years, the Quanzhen School has become increasingly prosperous.

Nearly several thousand new disciples join each year.

However, unlike them, the new disciples were not accepted as disciples by the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, but instead all became outer disciples.

They will be taught Taoist practices in a unified manner, and only the best among them will be accepted as inner disciples.

Fortunately, both inner and outer disciples can be taught the Complete Perfection Great Dao Song.

The only difference is that the Complete Perfection Great Dao Song for inner disciples is a completely revised version.

As a disciple of Wang Chuyi, one of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, Zhao Zhijing was naturally an inner disciple and was taught the newly revised version of the Quanzhen Great Dao Song.

Over the years, Zhao Zhijing has made good progress and is now a second-rate martial artist.

Logically speaking, Zhao Zhijing has made good progress and should be quite proud of himself.

After all, he is a third-generation disciple, and his strength is already quite good in the martial arts world.

But the problem is, there are even bigger comparisons.

Yin Zhiping, who was standing next to Zhao Zhijing, was much stronger.

He is now at the peak of the second tier, just one step away from becoming a first-tier powerhouse.

It should be noted that the Seven Masters of Quanzhen were only at the peak of the first tier.

He's still just one step away from becoming a Grandmaster of the Five Greats.

Although this step is extremely difficult to cross.

Zhao Zhijing didn't know what was wrong with him. Although his cultivation over the years had been extremely smooth,

But he just can't compare to Yin Zhiping.

Yin Zhiping glanced at Zhao Zhijing and said, "Regardless of what Junior Uncle-Master does, we should just follow the rules of the sect."

Because he entered the sect early, Yin Zhiping was also an inner disciple.

As for the higher-level true disciples, it is said that after the junior grandmaster returns, he will establish an assessment department, and only those who pass the assessment can be promoted.

Yin Zhiping devoted himself to cultivating Taoism and serving his master.

While I may yearn for these things, they are not essential to me.

Before meeting Xiaolongnu, Yin Zhiping was considered a model of the Quanzhen Sect.

Dragon Knights, lacking dragons, are naturally pure of heart and free from desires, making them potential cultivators.

At this moment, somewhere in the back mountain of the Quanzhen Sect, the future self seemed to glance in this direction.

He actually quite liked Yin Zhiping before he met Xiaolongnu.

This is someone who will be trained to become the future leader.

As for Zhao Zhijing, he's a despicable person.

Since the reforms began in recent years, the number of Quanzhen Sect disciples has increased to over 10,000.

The Zhongnan Mountains are quite lively now.

However, the back mountain, which is very deep in the mountains, still appears quiet.

Although Zhao Zhijing entered the sect early, his aptitude was not outstanding, and the revised version of the Quanzhen Daodao Song appeared.

Zhao Zhijing's personality made it impossible for them to get along.

Therefore, although his cultivation speed increased, it was still far inferior to that of Yin Zhiping, the dragon knight without a dragon.

The future self pondered: "I wonder if Yin Zhiping will be able to maintain his Daoist heart?"

The revised version of the Complete Perfection Great Dao Song requires a mind that has entered the Dao to be compatible with the Innate Skill.

This is a cultivation method for entering the Dao that Qin Hao specially created.

The Quanzhen Sect is, after all, a sect that allows people to leave home. Even among the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, Ma Yu and Sun Bu'er were originally husband and wife.

After they became monks, they separated.

Of course, cultivating Taoism does not necessarily mean becoming a monk or nun, but the Quanzhen School of Taoism does have this requirement.

"Everyone, gather together."

Qiu Chuji shouted loudly, and all the inner disciples gathered around.

Ma Yu was the first to leave Chongyang Palace, followed by the others.

A group of people walked down the mountain, with Zhao Zhijing and Yin Zhiping among the disciples at the front.

Except for disciples who are not in the Quanzhen Sect, almost everyone has to follow along.

They all knew that the junior grandmaster of the Quanzhen Sect was returning today.

Chongyang Palace is not far from the foot of the mountain. Along the way, newly initiated disciples have been arranged to guard both sides.

Ma Yu and the others had reached the foot of the mountain and began to wait patiently.

Qiu Chuji looked at his senior brother Ma Yu, who was standing at the front, and felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

A master of the Five Greats, born with innate talent.

My senior brother went out for a while and came back having already advanced.

He was originally only one step away from Ma Yu, but now it's an insurmountable gap.

Although he had already seen signs of a breakthrough.

But the opportunity never came.

“Senior brother, over the past few years, I feel that our Zhongnan Mountain has become more and more pleasant,” Sun Bu’er said.

Because they were husband and wife before becoming nuns, Sun Bu'er and Ma Yu seemed to be closer.

There are some things that others find difficult to say, but she can say them.

Of course, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen were like brothers, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.

Qiu Chuji nodded: "Yes, senior brother. I wonder what happened."

Although they cannot sense spiritual energy, they can feel real changes.

"I feel that when I meditate, my internal energy increases more rapidly."

"This newly revised version of the Quanzhen Great Dao Song is very suitable for our Quanzhen Sect."

It's more than just a little bit more.
The Seven Masters of Quanzhen even thought that the legendary speed of their master Wang Chongyang's Innate Skill was probably around this level.

Actually it is not.

The revised version of the Quanzhen Daodao Song is indeed good, but it is only comparable to the Xiantian Gong before the Xiantian Gong.

In fact, the Innate Skill can be cultivated from birth.

This is a relatively coherent version.

"Senior brother, Junior Uncle has spread rumors that he intends to reform the Quanzhen Sect. How can one become a true disciple and a core disciple?" Qiu Chuji asked.

He had many disciples, but they were all from the inner sect.

Beyond that, nothing can be accomplished.

Ma Yu didn't want to say much; these things needed to be implemented one by one after his junior uncle returned.

However, with Junior Uncle's return imminent, there's no need to keep it a secret any longer.

When Ma Yu looked back, he saw that it wasn't just the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, but also many of their inner disciples.

His own disciples were the same; they were all inner disciples.

At this moment, everyone is watching eagerly.

Rumor has it that becoming a true disciple allows one to cultivate even more and better methods.

Ma Yu smiled and said, "True disciples need to establish the Hall of Merit after Junior Uncle returns."

Inner disciples are the disciples of us elders, or those who have achieved good deeds and are of good character and can be selected as inner disciples.

Only after one's Daoist nature reaches the required standard can one be promoted to a true disciple.

"The nature of the Tao?"

Qiu Chuji was taken aback. He looked back at his disciples and realized that there were probably not many who could meet the standard.

Among his disciples, Yin Zhiping should meet the standard.

The rest of the group consisted of only a handful of people.

Although the Quanzhen School is a Taoist sect, it is a sect that allows people to leave home and become monks.

But true Taoist priests are probably very few.

Since Ma Yu has already spoken, there's no harm in saying a little more.

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "If one's Dao nature is insufficient, after entering the inner sect, one can accumulate good deeds, transfer to a steward position, and eventually be promoted to steward elder."

Or perhaps become an outer sect steward, or later an outer sect elder.

But the true teachings cannot be obtained.

The core techniques can only be passed down through true disciples.

The other members of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen hesitated, wondering how many of their disciples would receive the true teachings.
Qiu Chuji then recalled the recent large-scale construction work within the sect, in which they had searched for a valley in the back mountains, but he wondered what its purpose was.

"Senior brother, what is the purpose of that valley we searched for a few days ago?"

Ma Yu: "My junior uncle sent me a telepathic message, asking me to search for it. He said he would find the Bodhi Snake, and at that time, that valley would become the Bodhi Snake's breeding ground."

What is the Bodhi-curved snake?

"Its whole body faintly emits golden light, and it has fleshy horns on its head. It moves like the wind and is extremely difficult to catch. Its gall is deep purple. After consuming it, one will immediately feel refreshed and have greatly increased strength."

Ma Yu's words startled the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, and then they were overjoyed.

This stuff sounds like a good thing; it can increase your strength after you take it.

"Does such a strange beast really exist?"

"Have."

"Then what about us disciples who cultivate?"

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen were overjoyed, and meditating and practicing their skills took the most time.

If such a wonderful item existed, the disciples' cultivation would be twice as effective with half the effort.

Zhao Zhijing and the others were overjoyed, as there were already very few inner disciples left in the Quanzhen Sect.

They are among the best in the inner circle.

These fine items are sure to be theirs.

But Ma Yu shook his head: "The breeding farm needs time to reproduce, and in the future, apart from daily welfare..."

The rest require merit points to exchange.

After a pause, Ma Yu looked at his other junior brothers and said, "Including you and me."

what?
The Seven Masters of Quanzhen were all in power within the Quanzhen Sect, and they could freely use anything belonging to the sect.

With their master gone and their uncle Zhou Botong rarely leaving the Quanzhen Sect, wouldn't the Quanzhen Sect belong to them?

At this moment, Ma Yu is saying that the items still need to be exchanged for good deeds?
Does it also include Ma Yu?
"Without rules, nothing can be accomplished." Ma Yu said, "From now on, the rules of the Quanzhen Sect will be much stricter."

Afterwards, the rules of the sect will be promulgated, and after Junior Uncle returns, he will establish the Hall of Law Enforcement.

Once a violation is committed, everyone from elders to ordinary disciples must abide by the rules; violators will be tried by the Enforcement Hall.

Law Enforcement Hall?
Wouldn't that just further lower their status?
Qiu Chuji had a bad temper and acted very capriciously.

This is a nice way of saying it.

To put it bluntly, there were many violations.

He always felt that his junior uncle was targeting him.

I recall that meeting with my junior uncle eighteen years ago.

Qiu Chuji couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

“A carriage is coming.”

Everyone present was a highly skilled martial artist, so they naturally heard the commotion.

But when Ma Yu and the others looked over, they found that the carriage was already very close.

This?
Ma Yu and the others were all taken aback.

Ma Yu, in particular, heard the sound a little earlier than the others.

How could a carriage, drawn by four horses, be so quiet?

He looked over and saw that the horse was extremely large, over seven feet tall.

It is much taller than them.

Moreover, his muscles were well-defined and his gait was firm; one look and you could tell he was a thoroughbred.

The carriage was extremely fast, much faster than they usually rode horses.

But when Ma Yu looked, he realized that this was not the fastest speed the carriage could go.

It's more like taking a leisurely stroll.

This?
Ma Yu was alright; he accepted it quickly.

Thinking of his junior uncle's secret realm in the northern desert, and then connecting it to the gourd at his waist.

What else is unacceptable?

The other members of the Seven Immortals of Quanzhen had never actually witnessed their junior uncle's amazing abilities, so they were still quite shocked at the moment.

"A thousand-mile horse. Four of them."

That's really surprising.

Before they could even react, Li Ping and Sha Gu had already arrived by car.

"Greetings, Junior Uncle." Ma Yu was the first to react and bowed.

"I've met my junior uncle."

"Greetings, Junior Grandmaster Uncle."

The group then realized what was happening and greeted each other.

The silly girl had already gotten out of the carriage and opened the door.

A group of people bent over, not daring to look up.

But many people secretly wanted to take a look out of the corner of their eye to see what kind of person this junior grandmaster was.

"Everyone, get up."

A simple sentence, yet it warmed everyone's hearts like a gentle breeze, as if a clear spring had flowed through them. "Thank you, Junior Uncle."

"Thank you, Junior Martial Uncle."

A group of people stood up and saw a young man in a green robe get off the carriage, but he stood in mid-air. With each step he took, a cloud of lotus flowers condensed and supported him in the air.

This?
Qin Hao made a strong impression on everyone at their first meeting.

Ma Yu was the first to come to her senses, having witnessed far too many of her junior uncle's extraordinary abilities before.

This is nothing more than a lotus flower formed from clouds, not worth mentioning.

Not worth mentioning.

However, the shock to the heart was undeniable.

"Junior Uncle, please move to Chongyang Palace."

"Ah."

As Qin Hao climbed the steps, clouds condensed with every step he took, so he didn't need to touch the ground at all.

This return marks the beginning of a major transformation within the Quanzhen School.

Therefore, some deterrence is still necessary.

Nothing made him stand out from the crowd like the lotus blossoms formed from clouds.

What is entering the path?

This is entering the path.

Qiu Chuji was also startled. Was this the banished immortal?
Thinking that my junior uncle was so young, yet he had already mastered all the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect and even innovated upon them.

He was less than ten years old when he overpowered himself.

Now, eighteen years later, Junior Uncle still seems to be as charming as ever, as if time has left no trace on his face.

It just makes the junior master seem even more ethereal and otherworldly.

Along the way up the mountain, both sides were lined with disciples of the Quanzhen School.

When Qin Hao went up the mountain, they would all bend down in advance.

But before that, they had already seen Qin Hao's figure and were all filled with shock.

Is this the banished immortal?

Our Quanzhen Sect has immortals who have been banished to heaven. Does that mean we can also enter the Dao and become immortals?
The moment the idea came up, everyone went wild.

Before Qin Hao even arrived at Chongyang Palace, he could already feel the condensation of the thoughts of all living beings on his body.

“If one were to follow the path of the gods, one would already be able to enter the path by now.”

Even those who have attained the ninth rank of the Divine Path can enter the Dao in a single day and rapidly ascend to higher levels.

However, he did not follow the path of gods, so the mental power of these beings was of little use.

But he didn't throw them away; instead, he collected them.

It might be useful in the future.

Upon entering Chongyang Palace, Qin Hao unsurprisingly took the seat of honor.

It's actually just a meditation cushion.

The Quanzhen School is a Taoist sect, and its members sit on futons.

The others greeted him again, bowing in respect.

"I've met my junior uncle."

"Greetings, Junior Grandmaster Uncle."

There are still plenty of people who can't even get into Chongyang Palace.

There are at most a few hundred people here; the rest are outside.

"Everyone, get up."

Qin Hao's voice rang out, and even those outside the door felt as if it were right next to them.

At the same time, he gently waved his hand, and everyone seemed to be lifted up by a gentle force.

This?
Everyone looked at the other people.

Isn't this move from a banished immortal?

Ma Yu immediately said, "Please, Junior Uncle, preach to us."

This was the proper procedure, and Qin Hao naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Please have a seat."

With Qin Hao's permission, everyone sat on the ground.

But when they sat down, they found that they were not sitting on the ground.

Instead, clouds condensed into lotus flowers, lifting them up.

This?
This is the method of the immortals.

"The way of heaven is to make up for the excess of damage and make up for the deficiency..."

Qin Hao began to speak in a loud voice, and the clouds around him surged and condensed into the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, forming the Four Symbols.

This?
However, while everyone was shocked, they immediately became engrossed in listening to the sermon.

At this moment, in a certain back mountain of Zhongnan Mountain.

There are three people in the Tomb of the Living Dead at this moment.

A middle-aged woman, a middle-aged old woman, and a little girl.

Oh no, there's one more person.

However, this person was just an infant in swaddling clothes.

At this moment, the swaddled baby is being placed on a bed of ice.

The little girl was being taught martial arts by a middle-aged woman.

"The martial arts of my Ancient Tomb Sect..."

At that moment, a Taoist voice came.

"The way of heaven is to make up for the excess of damage and make up for the deficiency..."

The middle-aged woman frowned and asked, "Grandma Sun, what have those Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect been doing lately?"

Granny Sun said, "Young lady, it seems there's some major festival going on at Chongyang Palace recently. I heard that a junior uncle has returned."

Junior uncle?
The woman was taken aback: "When did that Taoist priest Wang Chongyang take on a junior brother?"

Wang Chongyang did not have a master, and Zhou Botong was not a junior uncle.

The woman was somewhat agitated; she knew about the things that had happened between her young mistress and Wang Chongyang back then.

In the end, Lin Chaoying died in this Tomb of the Living Dead, filled with sorrow.

The Ancient Tomb Sect is neither the same as the Quanzhen Sect, either way.

The little girl couldn't concentrate either, and the woman, somewhat helpless, had no choice but to end the day's lesson.

All four of them got onto the ice bed and sat down to meditate and practice their skills.

But that sound continued incessantly.

The woman was annoyed and didn't want to listen.

But the sound she heard actually brought her some gains.

Her inner thoughts were extremely complicated.

In particular, the Quanzhen School has been opening its doors wide and recruiting a large number of disciples in recent years.

They have several thousand disciples every year.

They also prefer to ignore it.

Fortunately, Zhongnan Mountain is quite large, and the area where they were located was a forbidden zone by the Quanzhen School, and Quanzhen disciples were not allowed to enter.

They managed to stay in this place and make a living.

Even the occasional trip down the mountain to buy daily necessities like salt is quite inconvenient.

Fortunately, the woman rarely went out, and with Granny Sun handling things alone, everything remained peaceful.

This is the scene we're witnessing today.

It's really annoying.

"What exactly does the Quanzhen Sect want to do? Haven't they given up their old ideas about resisting the Jin dynasty?"

The woman's heart was filled with complex emotions. Wang Chongyang was so focused on resisting the Jin that he didn't even consider marriage.

In the end, he even renounced worldly life and became a Taoist priest.

This caused the young lady to become depressed and eventually die unwillingly.

Li Mochou didn't quite understand, but she found the voice extremely pleasant to listen to, and it seemed to convey a lot of understanding: "Master, I feel that I've learned some of what you taught me before by listening to this voice."

Ok?
The woman was taken aback.

Is this a master imparting knowledge?

In fact, she herself had gained a deeper and more profound understanding of the martial arts passed down by Lin Chaoying.

Could it be that this person has truly attained enlightenment?

Yes, otherwise.

Even the Five Innate Masters could not maintain such a secret transmission of sound indefinitely.

Moreover, the voice sounds as if it's right next to your ear.

This person's strength is unfathomable.

The Taoist priests of the Quanzhen School... never mind.

Outside Xiangyang City, the person who had been there sent the others away.

Not long after, they saw the Bodhi snake.

"Not bad, it wasn't in vain that I searched for so many days."

hiss.

These Bodhi snakes seemed to sense the danger and flicked their tongues at Qin Hao.

戾 (lì).

At the cry of an eagle, the Bodhi snake retreated swiftly as if it had encountered its natural enemy.

Qin Hao chuckled and reached out to grab it.

He grabbed several Bodhi snakes from a distance, and then a gourd flew up from the air. The gourd opened, and the Bodhi snakes slowly shrank and entered the gourd.

This is a treasure trove of sun and moon crafted by Qin Hao. It's not very large, but it's enough to temporarily house some Bodhi snakes.

Qin Hao continued his pursuit as he went.

He even caught several snake kings.

Ahead, a large, bald eagle appeared.

This must be the legendary eagle from the Condor Heroes story.
It is indeed extremely large.

It is more than a person tall, and its wingspan is more than three meters.

Unfortunately, its enormous size means it probably can't fly.

Moreover, they survived for a very long time.

His long-term consumption of the Bodhi snake made him extremely robust.

There is also an unknown energy circulating within the body.

"If we're going to rank them, they're above the first-rate level and below the innate level. Without the right method, they can't advance."

If this were a world of high martial arts or cultivation, this divine eagle would probably have become a demon.

Unfortunately, this is a world with low-level martial arts.

Ok?
It seems he's about to ascend to the world level?

That's no problem.

The eagle looked at Qin Hao with extremely sharp eyes.

It's like a martial arts master meeting an opponent.

call.

The eagle's wings swept across the ground like a sharp sword, enveloped in an unknown demonic aura.

Everything he does is successful.

Even trees that can be embraced by two people can be cut down in one go.

But Qin Hao was not afraid.

Tai Chi embodies Yin and embraces Yang, and is most adept at deflecting force and using the opponent's force against them.

The Condor was also encountering a worthy opponent for the first time, and they got into a heated fight.

Of course, this was Qin Hao not really going all out.

Otherwise, even in this low-level martial arts world, Qin Hao's strength is far superior to that of the Condor Heroes.

Half an hour later, the Divine Condor was panting a little. Looking at Qin Hao, who was still strolling leisurely, it seemed to remember something.

He turned around, flapped his wings, and seemed to want to lead the way.

Qin Hao was taken aback.

Is the plan to have him refer to the martial arts of the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai?
Qin Hao thought about it and didn't refuse.

He turned around and followed.

The man and the eagle, though unable to communicate, seemed to be able to connect.

Qin Hao did not refine the divine eagle; he wanted to keep it to see if the transformed Yang Kang would still father Yang Guo.

This divine eagle was Yang Guo's extraordinary encounter.

Before long, Qin Hao followed the Divine Condor to a cliff.

Although the eagle cannot fly, it can leap several meters high.

Qin Hao followed the Divine Condor all the way and saw some sword marks in a cave.

"Ok?"

Qin Hao didn't take it seriously at first. In this low-level martial arts world, no matter how powerful the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai was, he was still just a Xiantian martial artist.

But at this moment, he sensed the intent of swords within these sword marks.

"this?"

Qin Hao was greatly shocked: "This low-level martial arts world truly limits such geniuses. If this were the Qianyang Realm, this sword genius could independently enter the Dao, create his own cultivation methods, and might even be able to enter the Dao through the sword, making ascension not impossible."
