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

Qin Hao had more than a dozen Water Condensation Pearls in his hand, all of which were considered quite good magic weapons.

The Spirit Lord opened his mouth and inhaled, sucking all of this excellent magical treasure into his mouth.

Then, he let out a comfortable groan.

After that, the water unicorn squatted down and actually roared at Qin Hao twice.

But the way she was acting, no matter how you looked at it, sounded like she was being coquettish.

Moreover, does that mean they're inviting Qin Hao up?
Is he going to give Qin Hao a ride?

Is this a sign of submission?

The Water Qilin is an auspicious beast, an ancient mythical creature subdued by Ancestor Qingye.

Its strength is extremely powerful, and because it is a divine beast, its physical body is also extremely powerful.

His cultivation level was even more astonishing.

Even Dao Xuan Zhenren, who has now advanced to the Taiqing Realm, wouldn't dare say he could win for sure.

This is the guardian spirit beast of the Qingyun Sect.

Even Dao Xuan Zhenren had to respectfully address him as the Spirit Venerable.

It is evident that the Water Kirin holds a very high status within the Qingyun Sect.

Just now, they were saying they would have Xiao Yicai invite Qin Hao to a meeting at the Jade Purity Hall.

At that time, Qin Hao will be an elder.

And what about now?

Qin Hao reached out and flipped his hand, and dozens more water droplets appeared.

The water unicorn opened its mouth and inhaled, showing great joy.

The next moment, Qin Hao stepped into the void.

There are no steps, yet it feels like climbing stairs.

"He...he wouldn't be going to...?"

"Is he really going to climb onto the back of the water unicorn?"

"He wants to use the water unicorn as a mount?"

The group was taken aback, and even Dao Xuan Zhenren was shaken.

His mind raced, and he even considered whether he should stop it.

But in the end, Dao Xuan Zhenren did not speak.

Because he knew he couldn't stop it.

This was requested by the Water Kirin Spirit Lord himself.

Although Qin Hao gave some Water Condensation Pearls, they were very precious to ordinary disciples and they couldn't possibly give them up.

But for Dao Xuan and his group, it was just a considerable amount of wealth.

He no longer had any interest in those kinds of magical treasures.

But no one was as wealthy and generous as Qin Hao, who simply gave dozens of them to the Spirit Lord as snacks.

Yes, these condensed water beads are indeed beneficial to the Spirit Lord.

However, the benefits are not that great.

Rather than giving them as snacks to the Spirit Lords, giving them to ordinary disciples would better equip them with power.

Not to mention, if given to those menial disciples, they would be far more powerful.

Finally, Qin Hao climbed up step by step and sat on the Spirit Lord's back.

The Spirit Lord did not feel any aversion; on the contrary, he felt waves of joy.

A sound that seemed like chanting emanated, which was an expression of the spirit's extreme joy.

why?
Could it be that Qin Hao received the inheritance of the Qingye Ancestor?

So that's why the Water Kirin likes Qin Hao so much?

No, probably not.

Or rather, that's probably not the whole reason.

He was of course unaware that the Water Kirin had already sensed Qin Hao's immortal soul.

According to Shui Qilin, Qin Hao has the potential to ascend to immortality.

Or rather, there's a high probability that Qin Hao ascended to heaven.

That is a future immortal.

The water unicorn was naturally willing to follow the immortal.

The water unicorn let out a cry, and clouds rose beneath its feet, carrying it into the air.

At this moment, Qin Hao was sitting on the back of the water unicorn.

Seeing the scenery of Qingyun Gate again, it was quite different.

Auspicious clouds and mist shroud the area.

Dao Xuan Zhenren turned and left, returning to Yuqing Palace shortly afterward.

"Sect Leader, how is the Spirit Venerable?" asked True Man Cangsong.

He also held the water unicorn in high esteem.

Although at this moment he wished he could overthrow the Qingyun Sect.

What is there to leave behind in this filthy sect?

But he still held the water unicorn in high esteem.

The Water Kirin protected the Qingyun Sect for thousands of years, which was also due to its strength.

That's something even Dao Xuan can't compare to.

It is said to be the legendary Taiqing Realm.

Dao Xuan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Finally, he sighed, then said happily, "The Spirit Lord sensed that Qin Hao has received the inheritance of Ancestor Qingye and is willing to submit to Qin Hao."

what?
Master Cangsong felt as if he were dreaming today.

Qin Hao's advancement to the Upper Clarity Realm was not something he actually valued much.

There are also differences between Shangqing Realm and Shangqing Realm.

He was a seasoned cultivator of the Shangqing Realm, possessed the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon, and harbored a hidden six-tailed centipede. He didn't even consider a mere Qin Hao worthy of his attention.

But the water unicorn, which he considered invincible, was to become Qin Hao's mount?

This?
Wouldn't that mean Dazhu Peak would gain the combat power of a Taiqing Realm expert?

In the past, the Spirit Lord would stay in the Jade Pool and would never come out unless it was a major event for the Qingyun Sect.

But now that it has become a mount, and its master has given the order, how can the water unicorn refuse?
Why would the lineage of Patriarch Qingye choose him?
Why doesn't he come to Dragon Head Peak?
Master Cangsong felt that he should have tried harder a few years ago.

Maybe we don't need to rely on outsiders.

He could overthrow the Qingyun Sect on his own.

"Incredible."

Wen Min and the others were also extremely shocked, and only then did they react.

But deep down, I couldn't accept it.

It's like you were originally in the same class, and suddenly you secretly studied and became a top student, getting a guaranteed admission to a top-two university.

You even secretly brought back a Nobel Prize.

Isn't this terrifying?
"Let's hurry over there too."

"Okay. But it's really unbelievable, how could such a thing happen?"

Over there, Qin Hao rode the water unicorn and flew around the Qingyun Sect.

Finally, it landed outside the Yuqing Hall on Tongtian Peak.

Qin Hao came down and, to the astonishment of the disciples of Tongtian Peak, took out a precious spiritual water bead.

Qin Hao tossed the treasure into the air, and it landed right under the neck of the water unicorn.

"I'm giving it to you as a toy."

This is definitely a divine artifact.

The water unicorn naturally sensed the immense water-based spiritual power contained within the spirit water pearl.

The Water Kirin originally stayed in the Azure Pool because it was a water-based environment, which was the most comfortable place for it.

But at this moment, as long as he carries this spirit water bead, he feels as if he is always in a place rich in water spiritual energy.

There was no better environment than this. The water unicorn was naturally very pleased.

He roared, nearly scaring the disciples of Tongtian Peak to death.

"How can we compare ourselves to someone like that?"

Even Xiao Yicai was taken aback when he decided not to participate in the Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament this time.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Thank goodness I participated in the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament last time."

This time, if they encounter Qin Hao, won't they be completely defeated?
There was absolutely no chance of fighting back.

Qin Hao didn't even need to do anything; he could simply send out his mount.

Qin Hao doesn't care about the water unicorn; the water unicorn is spiritual and won't cause trouble.

As long as these people don't provoke the Water Kirin, the Water Kirin won't act recklessly.

As for the mounts being confined to the spirit beast pen?
Who dares to lock up the water unicorn?
The water unicorn can roam freely, can't it?

Outside the Illusion Moon Cave, Wan Jianyi was also astonished: "The Spirit Lord has actually recognized a master?"

He should have been killed after falling into demonic ways.

But Dao Xuan did not do that; instead, he hid him in the Ancestral Master's Shrine.

I sweep and clean this place every day.

I've actually gained a deeper understanding of swordsmanship.

He just didn't want to go out anymore.

Qingyun Sect is currently the leader of the three major righteous sects, so there shouldn't be any problems.

The Qingyun Sect doesn't need Wan Jianyi, but this ancestral hall needs an old man to sweep and clean it.

"But just now, when that child was riding the Spirit Lord and touring around, he seemed to glance in my direction a few times? Did he notice me, or did the Spirit Lord tell him something?"

The water unicorn is powerful, although it usually doesn't leave the Green Water Pool.

But who knows if the Water Kirin knows something?
Wan Jianyi shook his head and stopped worrying about it.

Dao Xuan will naturally resolve everything.

He's not young anymore, and he doesn't want to go out.

Sweep the floor and drink every day, never changing a day.

Qin Hao strode into the Jade Purity Hall, and Immortal Cangsong frowned and shouted, "All the chief disciples are here, why don't you come and greet them?"

Qin Hao didn't have a good impression of Cangsong Zhenren to begin with.

Upon hearing what Master Cangsong said, he ignored him completely and came over directly: "Greetings, Master Headmaster. Greetings, Master. Um, greetings to the senior disciples."

Master Cangsong is only fit to be among the top disciples.

He would never pay his respects to Master Cangsong alone.

They don't even know who they are.

Of course, Master Cangsong thought he was very great.

He wanted to avenge Wan Jianyi.

Little did he know that Wan Jianyi didn't seem to need him to take revenge.

If Master Cangsong knew that Wan Jianyi was still alive, I wonder what he would think?
Dao Xuan and Wan Jianyi both kept it from him; he was the only one who was deluding himself.

"Hmph." Master Cangsong snorted coldly.

Qin Hao looked over and asked, "The leader of Dragon Head Peak seems to be dissatisfied with me? How about we go to the dueling arena?"

Master Cangsong really wanted to say, "Let's go then."

But thinking back to the Spirit Lord who had just fallen, he had seen it too.

With just a flick of their finger, they could command, "Spirit Lord, ascend!"

He can't handle it.

Master Cangsong said, "You are so disrespectful, Tian Buyi. Is this how you teach your disciples?"

Tian Buyi was actually dissatisfied with Cangsong Zhenren, but what about the proper order?
Qin Hao replied directly, "There isn't really a strict hierarchy among the peaks of Qingyun Sect, is there? I'm already an elder of Dazhu Peak, so I only need to show respect. As for seniority? Or, shall I call in the Water Qilin and have you perform for me?"

Cangsong immediately fell silent.

The Water Kirin is powerful and was once a partner of Ancestor Qingye.

Even the chief monks of the various peaks would address him respectfully as the Spirit Lord.

If Qin Hao were to summon the Water Kirin and sit on its back, he could make them bow to him.

I can't even imagine what that would look like.

Dao Xuan's lips twitched, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.

Finally, Dao Xuan had no choice but to change the subject, saying, "Now that Elder Qin Hao has arrived, let's continue our meeting."

Then came another round of wrangling.

Tian Buyi also told Qin Hao, "The seven peak leaders previously discussed that you don't need to go on stage. With your strength, going down to compete with them would be like beating up a child; it's meaningless."

Qin Hao and Wan'er are indeed the same.

"However, the necessary resources cannot be lacking."

The Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament is essentially a competition to allocate resources.

Tian Buyi sighed, "We are outnumbered, and our sect leader only gave us double the pay."

Then, Tian Buyi recounted some information about Dazhu Peak.

Qin Hao knew some of it before, and some he just found out.

He was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Since the sect leader has said so, then let's leave it at that this time. However, Dazhu Peak does need to recruit a few more disciples. How about this, after the Seven Peaks Tournament, have a few senior brothers go down the mountain, each bringing three disciples up the mountain. I will train the disciples, and we'll talk about it again at the next Seven Peaks Tournament."

Is Qin Hao a special case, or will this be the case for all of Dazhu Peak in the future?

One instance is not enough to explain the situation.

Let's see how the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament goes on.

Tian Buyi was taken aback, but still nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Qin Hao spoke up several times, interfering with the meeting each time.

Qin Hao's strength is still unknown, but his understanding of general affairs has surprised and troubled the other peak leaders.

Spiritual practice is not simply a matter of sitting in meditation every day.

All kinds of resources are indispensable.

There are also resources for refining magical artifacts, which Tongtian Peak and Longshou Peak used to occupy the largest share of.

This time, Qin Hao tore off half of it.

"I am skilled in crafting magical treasures, and I have brought quite a few this time. The senior sisters and disciples of Xiaozhu Peak have already brought quite a few. You will see the outcome of the battle at Xiaozhu Peak and then you will know."

Just then, the disciples arrived at Tongtian Peak.

Dao Xuan Zhenren turned around nonchalantly and said with a gentle smile to the dozens of young disciples of Qingyun Sect standing in the main hall, "Everyone is here, right? Good, good."

All the disciples bowed and saluted, saying, "Greetings to the Master."

Dao Xuan Zhenren smiled slightly, returned to his seat, and glanced at Cangsong Daoren. Cangsong Daoren then stepped forward and said loudly, "Everyone, you are all outstanding members of the younger generation of Qingyun Sect. Our Qingyun lineage has existed for over two thousand years since its founding, truly a legitimate Taoist lineage and a leader of the righteous path. However, as the ancients said, 'Diligence leads to success, while idleness leads to ruin.' There is also a saying: 'Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will fall behind.' To warn future generations and to mentor young disciples, our sect's patriarchs passed down the grand event of the Seven Lineages Martial Arts Tournament, which has now been held for twenty sessions."

Zhang Xiaofan looked at his seventh senior brother sitting with their master and felt something was off.

It's not that I think Qin Hao doesn't deserve to sit there.

Rather, they were all just beginners.

Qin Hao was already seated there, along with the heads of the various peaks.

This is truly heartbreaking.

Qin Hao smiled, not caring.

"Ah!" A gasp of surprise rang out from the disciples of Qingyun Sect. Twenty sessions, calculated as one cycle of sixty years, would have lasted for twelve hundred years.

Daoist Cangsong looked at the crowd's reaction with satisfaction and said, "To this day, under the leadership of our Sect Leader Senior Brother Daoxuan, our Qingyun Sect is thriving and prosperous, far surpassing its previous state. There are countless outstanding individuals among the younger generation. Therefore, after discussing with the heads of various branches, our Sect Leader has decided to increase the number of participants in the Grand Examination to sixty-four, so as to avoid any regrets of missing out on outstanding talents."

But as he spoke of this, Master Cangsong thought of Qin Hao and suddenly felt speechless.

This Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament is probably the least prestigious one in all the dozens of previous tournaments.

Even if we win the championship, so what?
Qin Hao is someone you can never get around.

Everyone's reputation will be crushed under Qin Hao's feet.

He originally had high hopes for his apprentice, Qi Hao.

At this moment, he felt somewhat bored.

The Taoist Cangsong said, "This time, the number of participants has doubled, so there have been some changes in the drawing of lots. Please take a look."

That tone...it sounds a bit helpless. (End of Chapter)
