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

Scene changes.

This time, the surrounding environment became chaotic.

There was no distinction between up and down, or left and right.

Chaos knows no years; there isn't even a concept of time here.

A middle-aged man, very dignified, yet Qin Hao felt quite a sense of unease.

In him, Qin Hao seemed to see all things and all paths.

He seems to be the embodiment of the Tao, a scene that makes people unable to resist.

However, an overwhelming aura emanated from him, making Qin Hao dare not approach.

It was a very complex emotion, yet it was undeniably present in him.

Qin Hao couldn't see his face clearly, yet it seemed he could, but his face was indescribable.

"This is the Heavenly Emperor?"

Qin Hao sighed inwardly and murmured a sentence.

Then, he took out a sword, an extremely simple sword, the kind that Qin Hao wouldn't even really want in the world of Swallowing Star.

In the current world of Swallowing the Stars, even a slightly better genius could probably be bought easily.

It was a very simple, very ordinary sword.

The fact that it appeared in the hands of a middle-aged man made Qin Hao feel that it was quite extraordinary.

Then, he just casually stabbed him.

The surrounding chaos was swept up, and then chaotic currents surged forth.

Chaos transformed into earth, fire, water, and wind, and began to rage.

The man seemed oblivious to his surroundings, ignoring the raging fire, water, and wind.

Then, he began practicing on his own.

He was rehearsing...

Qin Hao was very curious, feeling that the face looked very familiar.

"Is this the Life-Slaying Sword?"

The thought popped into his head, and then he shook his head violently.

"No, this is the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Technique."

A sudden realization dawned on Qin Hao, and he quickly guessed the identity of the man before him.

Knowing the Immortal Slaying Sword Technique, and possessing such an appearance and aura, one feels as if they are gazing upon the Dao itself.

Qin Hao even felt that, without realizing it, his cultivation level was increasing imperceptibly just by looking at this man.

Although he probably didn't see the person's face clearly, he just felt that everyone looks different.

Even in him, genders like man and woman have no meaning.

Because he is the embodiment of the Tao.

Such a great being is not bound by gender at all.

The reason you think he is male is simply because you subconsciously feel that he is male.

In reality, gender has no meaning for him.

"The Master of Heavenly Cult?"

Just as this realization dawned, the situation changed once again.

As the man practiced, the surrounding chaotic energy surged.

Then, gradually, it became centered around middle-aged men.

Clear air rises and turbid air descends.

Gradually, a large land area formed around it.

Desolation seems to have become the eternal synonym for this place.

Slowly, without anyone knowing when, a mass of metal began to form in the earth.

At first, there was only a tiny core.

Gradually, the core grows larger and larger, and it contaminates the surrounding land, assimilating it into metal.

This is the principle of earth generating metal.

The creation of metals has brought about some changes to the world.

But it remained as desolate as ever.

I don't know when, but water stains appeared around the metal.

Gradually, the watermark expanded and eventually became an underground lake.

Then, at some point, a seed, nourished by water, sprouted from the earth.

"This is water-born wood."

The seed slowly grew, and after an unknown amount of time, it grew into a towering tree.

Then, a spark lit up.

This is wood generating fire.

The flames gradually rose, eventually turning the giant tree into ashes.

This is fire generating earth.

This is the mutual generation of the five elements.

Subsequently, the mutual restraint of the five elements, and even the concepts of the One Yuan, Two Forms, Three Powers, Four Symbols, Five Elements, Six Harmonies, Seven Stars, Eight Trigrams, and Nine Palaces, were all developed.

Without realizing it, Qin Hao gradually found himself becoming engrossed in it.

One's spiritual cultivation gradually increases without one even realizing it.

The understanding of the principles is also constantly being refined.

The biggest change, however, is in Qin Hao's immortal soul.

At that moment, Qin Hao didn't know what was wrong with him.

It felt like returning to the womb, surrounded by the ocean, an extremely comfortable environment, like the most natural and suitable environment.

His immortal soul has already completed its transformation, but it is still constantly absorbing the surrounding void energy to slowly undergo further transformation.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Hao suddenly opened his eyes.

Then, the scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

The man suddenly smiled at Qin Hao.

"Very well. Although I don't know how long it will take, I have finally met a disciple who is destined to meet me, who is compatible with me, and who was not part of my plans. From now on, you will be my fifth disciple of Tongtian."

boom.

In Qin Hao's mind, it was as if he had experienced the surging of earth, fire, water, and wind just now, as if the world had been created once again.

"He actually revealed his identity himself, Tongtian."

So, is this person indeed the leader of the Jie Sect?

"So, what did he just say? I've become his fifth protégé?"

According to legend, the Sage of Heaven had four direct disciples.

They are Duobao Daoren, Jinling Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu, and Wudang Shengmu.

The fates of these four individuals all seem to be rather unfortunate.

Duobao Daoren was converted from a barbarian to a Buddhist by Laozi and went to the Western Sect. He was then deposed by two saints of the Western Sect and became the sect leader.

The other party had already wholeheartedly converted to Buddhism.

The second Golden Spirit Mother also met a bad end.

In the battle of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit fought fiercely against three powerful warriors: Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang Daoren. Although she fought hard, she was ultimately ambushed by the Burning Lamp Daoren with the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, which struck her on the head, causing her to perish and her cultivation to dissipate.

However, it is said that after his death, his soul was listed on the Investiture of the Gods and was named Doumu Yuanjun of Kan Palace. He was in charge of the Golden Palace, guarded the Dipper Palace, ranked first among the constellations of the heavens, commanded 84,000 evil stars, and became the supreme ruler of the North Pole Purple Qi.

But the path to immortality is carefree, and those with inherent talent, who would want to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods?
At the very least, one should be physically deified and obey orders but not summons.

The third Guiling Shengmu met an even more tragic end.

Directly after the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the Guiling Holy Mother was caught by a fishing rod.

The guide originally intended to forcibly convert this virtuous female immortal.

As a result, when she was sent back to the Western Paradise, the Mosquito Taoist devoured her Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus and then swallowed the Turtle Spirit Mother.

It is said that not even the true spirit remained.

It is said that this person had a better ending among the four disciples of the Jie Sect.

Aside from Duobao bearing the infamy but gaining tangible benefits, Wudang Shengmu is at least still alive, and her spiritual cultivation remains undiminished.

As the Investiture of the Gods war was about to end, and the Tongtian Sect Leader's Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was about to be broken, the Holy Mother of Wudang obeyed the Tongtian Sect Leader's order and retreated first, becoming the only surviving disciple among the Jie Sect members.

There are even countless legends about it.

Wudang Holy Mother was the fourth disciple personally taught by Tongtian Jiaozhu, ranking after Duobao Daoren, Jinling Holy Mother, and Guiling Holy Mother. She wore a blue Daoist robe, a lotus crown on her head, and held a whisk. In terms of magical power and cultivation, she should rank above Ran Deng Daoren and Nanji Xianweng of the Chan Sect.

This Holy Mother devoted herself to spiritual cultivation and did not concern herself with worldly affairs. She did not participate in the entire Investiture of the Gods war.

Unfortunately, when an avalanche occurs, you have to participate whether you like it or not.

It is said that the background of the Holy Mother Wudang is very mysterious. It is said that she and the Goddess Nuwa were both descendants of the Dragon Clan, but she was born later than the Goddess Nuwa. She participated in the creation of humans by the Goddess Nuwa and called her sister.

However, this claim is difficult to verify.

At least Qin Hao cannot confirm this at present.

After the defeat of the Tongtian Sect Leader, the Jie Sect collapsed and its disciples scattered. Some were posthumously deified and switched allegiance to the Heavenly Court, while others became mounts and joined the Western Sect.

The Holy Mother of Wudang had neither disciples nor conflicts with the Chan Sect. It was precisely because of her composure and calmness, and her obedience to her master's orders, that she escaped this calamity.

The Holy Mother of Wudang, the only surviving Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Jie Sect, disappeared after the Investiture of the Gods.

Legend has it that she lived in seclusion on Mount Li alone to continue her spiritual practice, and was known as the Old Mother of Mount Li, later referred to as "Old Mother of Mount Li".

Many legends have even been passed down about it.

For example, the snake spirit who was raped was said to have been a disciple of Bai Suzhen.

Now he has become the fifth disciple under the Holy Mother of Wudang?

When was this decided?

Just as Qin Hao was lost in thought, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Chaos knows no years, life and death, so why worry about it?"
However, I was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.

"Fine, you can have it."

As he spoke, the man casually tossed the sword in his hand, and it fell into the world he had just created.

Just as the man was about to leave, he thought for a moment, and a flash of inspiration flew into his mind and landed in the world.

This inspiration, after a period of brewing, took shape.

He lived under the world's first giant tree.

He wore a crown with nine tassels hanging down.

"this?"

Qin Hao previously speculated that the Heavenly Emperor in the world of Jade Dynasty was an incarnation of Master Tongtian.

Unexpectedly, I was both right and wrong.

He originally thought that Master Tongtian would fall into the world of Jade Dynasty, slowly cultivate, and experience life.

Unexpectedly, this Heavenly Emperor was merely a manifestation of the other party's thoughts.

After that, the Heavenly Emperor overcame countless obstacles and defeated numerous enemies.

These are the scenes Qin Hao initially saw.

"No wonder, a single thought of a sage is far more powerful than many innate gods and demons."

Although the Heavenly Emperor is not Tongtian Teacher, Tongtian Teacher is the Heavenly Emperor.

Given his position, he is fully capable of undertaking this responsibility.

Then, a streak of light flew in from beyond the sky; it was the Heavenly Book Stele.

The Heavenly Emperor waved his hand, took it in his hand, and carefully contemplated its meaning.

The rise of the Heavenly Court was also based on this Heavenly Book Stele.

Then one day, a powerful god or demon appeared out of nowhere, wanting to invade the world of Jade Dynasty.

After that, it was a battle between the Heavenly Court and these gods and demons.

The Heavenly Emperor also knew that this god-demon was named Shura.

Not just his name, but also his race.

Although the Heavenly Emperor was born from the thoughts of a sage, he did not inherit the sage's status and power; everything he achieved was through his own gradual cultivation.

However, he was still extremely powerful when facing Shura.

At first, the Heavenly Court was no match for the Asura, but with the help of the world's protection, the Heavenly Court also protected the world of Zhuxian.

Just as time goes by.

Shura discovered that it would be extremely difficult to invade the world of Jade Dynasty from the outside.

He must disintegrate from within.

Unable to get in, he came up with a plan.

That means letting someone else summon you in.

Thus, the demonic cult arose.

The King of Light and the Holy Mother quietly spread among the human race.

During that time, Shura almost succeeded.

However, in the final stage, the Heavenly Emperor and the Asura dueled in the void outside the world.

The Heavenly Emperor broke through his limits and severely injured Shura's body with a single sword strike, sealing him away.

Then, the Heavenly Emperor seemed to awaken to something and realize his own identity.

He hastily left behind the treasure trove of heaven and earth, then made arrangements for the Heavenly Court, and ascended to immortality.

This may be the only case of ascension in the world of Jade Dynasty.

But Qin Hao understood that the Heavenly Emperor must have realized his own limitations and returned to his original form.

This is ascension, yet it is not ascension.

This is somewhat similar to taking him back from me.

For Qin Hao, who is still on the path of the Great Luo, each time he reclaims a body from another, he will experience a significant improvement.

But for Master Tongtian, who had already become a saint, this gain was essentially negligible.

That slight increase in magical power and primordial spirit is like a drop of water falling into the ocean—negligible.

After that, the Heavenly Court gradually declined.

At the same time, the incarnations of Asura, the King of Light and the Holy Mother, namely the King of Heavenly Fiend and the Holy Mother of the Underworld, were killed and sealed away by the Heavenly Court.

Shura left behind the Four Spirits Blood Array.

Only by using the blood sacrifice of the four divine beasts can the Heavenly Fiend King and the Netherworld Mother be unsealed, thereby summoning the Asura to descend.

Gradually, the Heavenly Book Stele was also divided into five parts.

Only one part of the remains of the Heavenly Court could be salvaged and stored in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.

The other volumes are separate.

The founder of Qingyun Sect obtained the fifth volume of the Heavenly Book, along with that sword.

"The Immortal-Slaying Sword, so this is your origin?"

Qin Hao didn't know where the Zhuxian Sword originally came from, but in the world he came to, the Zhuxian Sword's origin was exactly that.

"It seems that I'll have to try to retrieve this Immortal Execution Sword when I get back."

This was left to him by Master Tongtian, containing extremely powerful swordsmanship, and even including the complete inheritance of the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

Starting from the basics and culminating in the Four Swords of Zhuxian, it also includes the inheritance of array diagrams.

"Although it's not the original, it still possesses immense power when refined."

Since that's the case, the Immortal Execution Sword has no choice but to be taken back.

Qin Hao hadn't had time to observe his surroundings or retrieve anything else.

There are also countless ancient books here.

Since it is the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, there must be a great many books and records.

At this moment, he was experiencing his immortal soul.

"My immortal soul has undergone another transformation and has now advanced to the level of a celestial immortal soul?"

Qin Hao never expected that before his physical body had even become an immortal, his soul had already advanced to the level of a celestial immortal soul.

This is even before Mr. Lu passed away.

Mr. Lu has not yet transformed; he still needs to take the final step before he can transform into a Celestial Immortal in a short period of time.

But that doesn't mean that you become a celestial being after breaking through.

"Whether it's comprehension, the quality of magical power, or various spells that rely on the soul, they have all been greatly enhanced. Even the speed of cultivation has inevitably increased many times over."

"At least a hundred times. And this is just the initial stage; it will continue to accelerate until it reaches the Celestial Immortal level." (End of Chapter)
