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

"As for the Middle Thousand Worlds, they can accommodate the Fourth Realm."

"Actually, the fairyland can be roughly divided into four steps."

"Refine essence into qi, refine qi into spirit, refine spirit to return to emptiness, return to emptiness and unite with the Dao."

“Different worlds have different names.”

The Qianyang Realm is a middle-thousand world. Qin Hao's idea is to improve the foundation of the Qianyang Realm so that it can be promoted to a great-thousand world in the future.

"As for the vast world, even immortals can reside there. Powerful sects even have celestial immortals."

wonderland?

"Does such a world really exist?" Ma Yu asked curiously.

They can't even enter the path of enlightenment, does such a world really exist?

"Junior Uncle, could it be that you are truly a banished immortal?"

Qin Hao slowly shook his head, and Ma Yu and the others were disappointed. But then Qin Hao said, "However, I am only one step away from becoming an immortal."

This body is merely the reincarnation of a thought of mine; I only awakened to the mystery of my birth when I was six years old.

Afterwards, they met Huang Yaoshi, Sister Feng, and Uncle Zhou.

I saw the Nine Yin Manual there.

However, Huang Shang is quite formidable, living in a low-level martial arts world where even those above the Innate Realm cannot exist.

They actually created a method that was quite sophisticated.

Later, based on the Nine Yin Manual, I created a technique called the Lesser Yin Heart Method and passed it on to the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. They did quite well in their practice.”

what?
No wonder the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan have recently reappeared in the Central Plains; each of them is a top-notch master.

They were still wondering about it.

It turns out it was passed down by my junior uncle.

However, why would Junior Uncle pass it on to them?
Qin Hao seemed to have seen through the Seven Masters of Quanzhen's thoughts and explained, "Back then, Qiu Chuji fought against the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan."

Although the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan also had eccentric personalities, they also bore some responsibility.

But Qiu Chuji, your responsibility is greater.

I gave them the mental cultivation method to settle the karmic debt between them and my Quanzhen Sect.

You may not know how terrifying cause and effect can be. As the saying goes, Bodhisattvas fear the cause, while ordinary people fear the effect.

Your understanding is insufficient, so you naturally do not know the terrifying nature of cause and effect.

Of course, this cause and effect is really nothing.

But if you're in the wrong, you'll always have to pay the price.

Besides, the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan traveled to the desert for over a decade just because of a single word from you. Isn't that worth more than a cultivation manual?

Qiu Chuji blushed and was speechless.

Fortunately, there were no junior members of the Quanzhen Sect here.

Otherwise, Qiu Chuji would feel that he had embarrassed his mentor.

However, Junior Uncle is an elder after all, and what he said makes sense.

He couldn't refute it either.

Qin Hao added, "You don't need to overthink it. From now on, all inner disciples can choose."

One is the "Lesser Yin Heart Method," and the other is the "Lesser Yang Heart Method." Choose whichever one suits you best.

After the Lesser Yin Heart Method, I switched to the Nine Yin Manual. I have expanded this school and can cultivate it all the way up to the fourth realm.

There were no problems until ascension.

The same applies to the *Shaoyang Heart Method*. After reaching the Innate Realm, one can transition to the *Innate Skill*, which also allows direct access to the Fourth Realm. Before ascending to immortality, it's all the same.

As for the cultivation methods after becoming an immortal?

Qin Hao himself hasn't become an immortal yet, so he can't say much more about these things.

Currently, only two of Ma Yu and others have advanced to the Innate Realm; the others are still stuck in the late stage or peak of the First-Class Realm.

It's only the beginning of the first realm.

People at this level are far from becoming immortals.

They don't need to think much at all.

"Alright, enough of this small talk. Let me first tell you about the 'Lesser Yang Heart Method' and the 'Lesser Yin Heart Method.' Ma Yu and Qiu Chuji, you can wait a bit before discussing the 'Nine Yin Manual' or the 'Innate Skill'..."

……

After drinking the precious snake blood, Guo Jing and Huang Rong quickly left the Sixth Prince's residence.

Then they quickly reunited with Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci.

Mu Nianci's expression changed the moment she saw Huang Rong in Guo Jing's arms.

She seemed to have noticed something was wrong.

However, time was of the essence, so Guo Jing led them straight to the city gate.

It was nighttime, and the city gates were closed.

Fortunately, Guo Jing was skilled in light-footed martial arts and managed to bring Huang Rong, Yang Tiexin, and Mu Nianci out in three separate trips.

They ran all the way until they reached a dilapidated temple, where they finally found temporary shelter.

When Liang Ziweng returned, he discovered that his precious snake, which he had raised for many years, had been sucked blood.

This is not okay.

He roared and ordered Wanyan Honglie to lead troops to search the entire city.

This gave those martial arts practitioners an opportunity to steal a portion of the defense maps of Zhongdu.

Here, Guo Jing and the others arrived at the dilapidated temple and settled in.

Guo Jing then began to circulate his internal energy to refine the precious snake blood for Huang Rong.

Yang Tiexin practiced external martial arts, and he didn't know much about internal martial arts.

Mu Nianci was the same.

Mu Nianci just looked a bit strange.

“Father, this Brother Huang, I do look a bit like Miss Huang.”

what?
Yang Tiexin was startled. Upon closer inspection, he actually discovered a clue.

That is, Guo Jing, who had no experience at all, kept calling Huang "brother".

After midnight, Huang Rong refined the blood of the precious snake, greatly increasing her internal strength and advancing to the peak of the second-rate level.

He's just one opportunity away from becoming a top-tier athlete.

After Guo Jing finished circulating his internal energy and stood up, Huang Rong asked with a smile, "Brother Jing, how was the big gift I gave you today?"

Guo Jing shook his head and said, "Brother Huang, thank you first."

But my internal strength has actually reached the peak of first-class level, and I am only one step away from being promoted.

But my master wouldn't let me break through easily. He told me to hone my skills carefully so that the internal energy I cultivated would be more refined.

Now that I've consumed the blood of the precious snake, my internal energy has greatly increased.

However, the purity has dropped several grades. I need to refine it carefully, and it will probably take about three months before I can achieve a breakthrough naturally.

what?
Huang Rong's face immediately fell. She had kindly given him the information and tried to help him.

As a result, Guo Jing not only didn't appreciate it, but also talked about himself like that.

When Huang Rong gets angry, she frowns and stomps her feet.

Then it ran away in a flash.

"Brother Huang."

Guo Jing chased after him for a while but couldn't catch up. When he returned, he shook his head and said, "Brother Huang is good in every way, but his temper is a bit strange and he's a bit effeminate, just like what Master said about him being a sissy."

Mu Nianci chuckled. She could tell that this Brother Guo was really a bit dull.

At this point, it was still not apparent that his "Yellow Brother" was actually his "Yellow Sister."

Yang Tiexin was just about to tell Guo Jing about how their family had arranged a marriage for them before they were even born.

Mu Nianci is his adopted daughter and also his daughter, so he should fulfill the betrothal contract he made since childhood.

Guo Jing spoke first, saying, "Uncle Yang, where have you been all these years? My master sent a message back then, instructing the Seven Masters of Quanzhen Sect, along with Uncle Zhou, to bring Aunt and Brother Yang Kang back to Quanzhen Sect. We've been searching for you all these years, but unfortunately, we haven't been able to find you."

Yang Tiexin originally wanted to bring up the matter of the betrothal since childhood.

As a result, Guo Jing started talking about his wife and children. Yang Tiexin had no other thoughts, so he grabbed Guo Jing's hand and began to ask him questions in detail.

……

At this moment, Yang Kang, whom Guo Jing mentioned, was in deep trouble.

They wore ten-pound sandbags on their hands and feet, on every one of their limbs.

He was also carrying a 30-pound load, bringing the total weight to 70 pounds.

He still needs to keep up with Qin Hao's pace and can't fall behind.

"Junior Grandmaster Uncle, please slow down. Where are we going?"

"Go find Hong Qigong."

He should start the sect alliance he talked about back then.

Peach Blossom Island already has a foundation; all he needs to do is set up a large-scale formation, lay out the base, and then gradually evolve it.

However, the central Qilin Cave Heaven, which belongs to the Beggars' Sect, has not yet chosen a location.

Actually, Zhongdu is quite good.

However, this area still belongs to the Great Jin Kingdom for the time being, and it would be troublesome to build the Beggars' Sect's headquarters here.

Unless Qin Hao is willing to take action himself.

However, the consequences of these events are too great, so the subordinates had to take action on their own.

Yang Kang certainly knew of Hong Qigong's great name, but why did his junior uncle want to go find Hong Qigong?
Hong Qigong is quite famous.

Of course, he's one of the Five Greats. If he's not famous, then who is?
……

Behind Zhongnan Mountain lies Wanhuyuan.

Qin Hao explained from above, and Wang Chuyi and the others listened very carefully.

The renowned Nine Yin Manual! What an honor it is for them to be able to learn the prerequisite martial arts!

Moreover, it was created by a quasi-immortal who was about to ascend to immortality.

They had no doubts; even magical artifacts had appeared. Although the banished immortal was not quite right, he was close enough.

Once Junior Uncle ascends to immortality, will they be able to ascend as well?
What does it mean when "when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven"?
They'd rather be chickens and dogs.

Soon after finishing explaining the Lesser Yin Heart Method, Qin Hao began explaining the Lesser Yang Heart Method.

"Humans are divided into Yin and Yang..."

The Shaoyang Heart Method is also a martial art created by Qin Hao, and it is in line with the Xiantian Gong.

Qin Hao privately believed that Wang Chongyang hesitated to pursue Lin Chaoying precisely because he had cultivated the Innate Skill.

He must remain a virgin, otherwise this technique is extremely difficult to master.

The threshold for mastering the Innate Skill is very high. Even with Wang Chongyang's exceptional talent, he still needed to remain a virgin in order to begin the practice.

"No wonder Ying Gu and Zhou Botong got together in secret."

This innate skill requires extremely high levels of yang energy, even though Master Yideng had already lost his virginity long ago.

However, engaging in sexual intercourse with the concubines in the harem will still deplete the body's yang energy.

Therefore, after exchanging the "Innate Skill" with Wang Chongyang, he became even more distant from the concubines in the harem.

In other words, Dali was originally a Buddhist center; otherwise, the outcome would have been hard to predict.

Master Yideng believed that if he wanted to achieve anything in the "Innate Skill", he had to pay attention to his sexual activity.

"Alright, the explanations of the Lesser Yin Heart Method and the Lesser Yang Heart Method are now complete. Next, I will explain a part extracted from the Nine Yin Manual, which I have actually incorporated into the Lesser Yin Heart Method and the Lesser Yang Heart Method. This is the Yi Jin Duan Gu chapter."

Both of these methods of cultivation can improve and strengthen your foundation.

After finishing his explanation, Qin Hao went on to explain the Yi Jin Duan Gu chapter.

Although it's not direct cultivation, it still allows them to absorb some experience.

Stones from other mountains can attack jade.

After saying all that, Qin Hao decided to begin explaining the "Innate Skill" and the "Nine Yin Manual".

"You don't need to listen to these things before you reach the Innate Realm."

Wang Chuyi thought that he and his companions were about to leave.

Qin Hao then launched into a long and eloquent explanation, but they couldn't hear a single word. Qiu Chuji and Ma Yu, on the other hand, seemed to be listening with great interest.

This?
This was beyond the comprehension of Wang Chuyi and others.

But considering that this junior master's true identity is a highly accomplished person who is about to become an immortal.

If it can be done like this, then it becomes understandable.

Qin Hao preached, and although there was no spring of gold emerging from the earth, his words were as beautiful as lotus blossoms.

But the clouds were also surging, and the surrounding spiritual energy increased greatly.

Wang Chuyi and others simply began to consider and switch to their own martial arts cultivation methods.

Soon they had all chosen their own methods of cultivation and began to practice.

Through this practice, they came to understand what the superior Dharma is.

This method is far more powerful than the previous Quanzhen Daoda Song.

But they all seem to be in line with the Quanzhen Daoda Song.

Indeed, Qin Hao adapted the Quanzhen Dao Da Song to lay the foundation for Quanzhen disciples.

It has no attributes and can be seamlessly linked to various methods.

Moreover, the Quanzhen Daoda Song is moderate and peaceful, making it the most suitable for laying a foundation, and can be considered a superior method.

If it's released, countless people will go crazy for it.

After Huang Rong left, Guo Jing was originally going to escort Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci to the Quanzhen Sect.

Upon learning the whereabouts of his wife and son, Yang Tiexin was first filled with regret and remorse for his powerlessness back then, for failing to protect Brother Guo's family.

He wanted to bring up the marriage between Guo Jing and Mu Nianci again.

However, they were interrupted by the two of them.

Guo Jing then offered to escort him to reunite with his wife and children.

What else could Yang Tiexin disagree with?
I need to leave immediately.

Huang Rong appears many times during this period. This clever and mischievous girl causes Guo Jing a lot of laughs.

But Guo Jing was not angry at all.

Mu Nianci could tell that Guo Jing and that Brother Huang had a special relationship.

Guo Jing simply hadn't realized it yet.

Mu Nianci had considered that Guo Jing was actually a good person.

But the image of that young master on the arena that day kept appearing in Mu Nianci's mind.

Mu Nianci sighed, realizing she might never be able to forget him.

On this day, they encountered the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan on the road, and just as the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan were talking, they showed disdain for Huang Yaoshi.

This angered Huang Rong, who then played a series of tricks on her.

The Seven Heroes of Jiangnan made their move and captured Huang Rong.

"Little vixen," Ke Zhen'e said angrily.

Guo Jing was still in a daze: "What little demoness? Master, this is Brother Huang."

Han Xiaoying was speechless for a moment, and said to Guo Jing, "Jing'er, she is a girl."

what?
Guo Jing was dumbfounded.

But deep down, I don't seem to be against it; in fact, I feel a little happy about it.

Ke Zhen'e asked, "What is your relationship with Huang Yaoshi?"

Huang Rong had played a trick on these people because Ke Zhen had spoken disrespectfully to Huang Yaoshi.

Of course, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan didn't go too far, after all, Huang Rong was just playing a prank and had no intention of killing.

Ke Zhen'e wouldn't stoop so low as to lay a hand on a little girl.

But Huang Rong didn't answer; instead, her eyes darted around.

Han Xiaoying frowned: "You..."

Just then, Huang Rong snorted coldly, "Hmph, so you are the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan? I'll tell my Uncle Qin later and have him punish you."

When she made her move just now, Huang Rong sensed the internal force of the Lesser Yin Heart Sutra.

As Feng Heng's daughter, she also obtained a copy of the Lesser Yin Heart Sutra.

This was given to Feng Heng by Qin Hao.

Feng Heng also needs to cultivate, otherwise, when everyone else achieves immortality, will she be the only one slowly growing old?

Huang Rong was naturally authorized to cultivate.

Uncle Qin?
The Seven Heroes of Jiangnan were all taken aback, and then they remembered that junior uncle of the Quanzhen Sect.

Of course, Qin Hao and Huang Rong are not that far apart in age.

But Qin Hao and Feng Heng are of the same generation, so Huang Rong can only call him Uncle Qin.

“Of course, wasn’t your Lesser Yin Heart Sutra taught by Uncle Qin? Then you are Uncle Qin’s half-disciples, and I also learned the Lesser Yin Heart Sutra…”

After watching Huang Rong ramble on and on, Ke Zhen'e was at a loss for what to do.

It was Han Xiaoying who untied Huang Rong.

In any case, Huang Rong was actually just a young girl.

Although his behavior was a bit eccentric...

Ahem. The Seven Heroes of Jiangnan also act quite strangely.

If it weren't for learning the Lesser Yin Heart Sutra, I wouldn't have been able to advance to the first-class level.

It took all seven of the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan working together to capture Huang Rong.

Otherwise, he might not be a match for Huang Rong.

Subsequently, Huang Rong and Guo Jing revealed their true identities.

Guo Jing pressed Huang Rong about her relationship with Qin Hao.

Huang Rong shook her head and said, "I've never actually met that Uncle Qin. He just sends me lots of things every year on my birthday. Look, this brocade pouch is from Uncle Qin. I call it the Hundred Treasure Pouch. It can hold a lot of things."

If it weren't for this, Huang Rong wouldn't have been able to sneak out.

Although when she came out, she still decided to do some things for her father, Huang Yaoshi.

But after she met Guo Jing, she forgot all about it.

Guo Jing was somewhat surprised, but then he seemed to remember something.

His own gourd was the same kind of thing.

"So, this was a gift from my master to you."

"Your master? One of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan?" Huang Rong asked in surprise and disbelief.

"Of course not. This is a gourd that my first master, Qin Hao, also the junior master of the Quanzhen Sect, casually crafted himself. It's something similar to your treasure pouch."

The Seven Heroes of Jiangnan all knew about this thing later on, but they did not obtain it.

They weren't jealous, after all, things belonging to a banished immortal are not something anyone can obtain.

Since they were all acquaintances, Huang Rong simply revealed her identity to everyone.

Out of respect for Qin Hao, they won't harm Huang Rong.

After all, it's obvious that Qin Hao likes Huang Rong very much, as he sends her gifts every year on her birthday.

Afterwards, the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, feeling somewhat awkward, took the initiative to accept the mission of escorting Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci to the Quanzhen Sect.

They also planned to pay a visit to that junior master of the Quanzhen Sect.

When Yang Tiexin was leaving, he was still thinking about talking to Guo Jing about their betrothal since childhood.

However, Mu Nianci interrupted him.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong then left alone.

Guo Jing still needs to gain experience in the martial world, see the true nature of people, and find time to refine the precious snake's blood to advance to the Innate Realm.

"Rong'er, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

Huang Rong then remembered that when she came out, she had planned to find her senior brothers.

"When I left Peach Blossom Island, I originally planned to find some of my father's disciples and bring them back. In recent years, my father has taken in some disciples, all of whom are outer disciples, but some of his earlier disciples had their legs broken and were expelled from Peach Blossom Island because of Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng. Later, my father regretted it and wanted to find them and bring them back. Seeing that my father didn't have time, I came out myself to help him with this matter."

Her eyes darted around as she spoke, which Guo Jing failed to notice.

If Mu Nianci, or the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, were here, they would surely see that Huang Rong's words were not entirely true.

So the two of them teamed up and began searching for Huang Yaoshi's disciples.

Guo Jing promised Huang Rong, "I will definitely help you finish this task."

People in the martial arts world don't have many rules.

Huang Rong changed into women's clothing, and she almost made Guo Jing's eyes pop out.

"Rong'er, you are so beautiful."

"Hmph, how does she compare to that Sister Nianci?" Huang Rong said, a little jealous.

Guo Jing scratched his head and said, "Each has its own merits."

Huang Rong felt a little jealous. Why was Guo Jing so dull?

But seeing his dull expression, Huang Rong felt that she shouldn't hold a grudge against him.

Next, Huang Rong used all her skills to cook a lot of delicious food for Guo Jing.

"Brother Jing, how did I do?"

Guo Jing thought for a moment and said, "Apart from what I ate at my master's place, this is the best."

Huang Rong was taken aback: "Your master?"

"Yes, Master Qin, he occasionally cooks for me himself, and I've eaten there a few times. But not often."

Huang Rong suddenly remembered a book her mother had once taken out called "A Short Guide to Cooking," which was said to be a method for cultivating culinary skills.

It can be considered as a supplementary cultivation method of Feng Heng.

It contains many explanations of cooking techniques.

"I thought that besides my mother, I was the best cook in the world."

"You are the third best."

Huang Rong sometimes even bites people.

I just don't know how to tell her a lie.

But this is the one trait she likes most about Guo Jing.

On this day, Huang Rong caught a few pheasants and made a dish called Beggar's Chicken.

"Brother Jing, come and eat!"

Guo Jing had just arrived when Huang Rong had already dug out the beggar's chicken and torn off a chicken leg, but hadn't handed it to Guo Jing yet.

The rest of the chickens were all taken.

Huang Rong was startled. She turned around and saw an old man wearing patched clothes, with white hair and beard, eating the chicken.

While eating, he smiled and said, "It's so delicious."

His most distinctive feature is that he only has nine fingers.

"Hong Qigong, the Nine-Fingered Beggar?"

Huang Rong immediately recognized them. She remembered that when she was on Peach Blossom Island, her father, Huang Yaoshi, had mentioned some noteworthy people in the martial arts world.

Hong Qigong had a very good relationship with Peach Blossom Island.

If it weren't for Hong Qigong's restlessness and penchant for standing up for the underdog, he probably could have settled down on Peach Blossom Island.

She remembered seeing this person on Peach Blossom Island when she was very young.

However, she remained calm and collected, and with just a few words, she tricked Hong Qigong.

After Guo Jing learned the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, he still didn't recognize Hong Qigong.

Hong Qigong taught her punch after punch, and Huang Rong cooked one delicious meal after another.

That day, she prepared some frogs, some eels, and some other things. She made frog porridge, stir-fried eels, and boiled cabbage.

Hong Qigong had just reached out and picked up his chopsticks, just picked up a yellow eel, and hadn't even put it in his mouth yet.

The eel on the chopsticks has disappeared.

"This kind of delicious food should be shared! It's not good for you to eat it all by yourself. I love joining in the fun, so how about it, is that okay?" (End of Chapter)
