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

"Is this really too peaceful?"

Tian Buyi felt his mouth trembling, and his voice was shaking as he spoke.

He couldn't believe that someone could actually reach the Taiqing Realm, a realm that no one had ever advanced to before.

If someone could live from ancient times to the present, they would discover this.

The level of cultivation has been declining ever since the Heavenly Emperor left.

No one knew what was going on.

But that's the reality.

Qin Hao nodded, and then saw Tian Buyi almost faint from excitement.

Qin Hao added, "Actually, I'm not the first one in the Taiqing Realm."

what?
besides?

Qin Hao said, "Actually, the Sect Leader is the Taiqing Realm."

"What? Impossible!" Tian Buyi couldn't believe it. The sect leader was already at the Taiqing Realm?

Qin Hao laughed and said, "Don't doubt it. The sect leader is a Taiqing Realm expert. He has the power to wield the Zhuxian Sword. How could he not benefit from it at all?"

The Immortal-Slaying Sword contains celestial-level malevolent energy; one must wield the Immortal-Slaying Sword and use it in battle.

That would definitely lead to being corrupted by evil energy, and eventually one might go astray and become possessed by evil spirits.

But if you don't take control of it, don't utilize it, and only try to understand it...

Those with good talent can still learn the way of the sword from it.

In doing so, one elevates one's own level of understanding.

If the world is at peace, nothing will happen.

Dao Xuan might even become the first person in China to ascend to immortality.

That's not necessarily true.

It all depends on Dao Xuan's talent and his luck.

Unfortunately, that opportunity is gone.

In the original story, something happens soon after Faxiang's questioning.

The Demonic Gate has invaded.

This forced Dao Xuan to use the Zhuxian Sword.

He was thus invaded by evil energy and almost went mad.

After that, his chances of ascending to immortality were completely dashed.

And now?
Qin Hao is going to take back the Zhuxian Sword, which was left to him by Master Tongtian.

No one else can inherit it.

Only Qin Hao can inherit it and use it without any loss.

Qin Hao said, "The world is likely to descend into chaos soon. Master and Mistress, you'd better go into seclusion and consume this thing."

"what is this?"

Tian Buyi and Su Ru took it, and both could tell that the contents were of extremely high quality.

This is an unparalleled opportunity.

Qin Hao said, "When I left earlier, I went to the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury and happened to meet with the thought left behind by my master. This thing is the Giant Tree Spirit Liquid in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury."

"The Heavenly Emperor's Treasury?"

"Does that place really exist?"

Tian Buyi could hardly believe that there was a legend of a Heavenly Emperor in the legends of China.

However, no one can prove it.

"Yes, the yellow bird is the messenger of the Heavenly Emperor, don't you all know that? But that Heavenly Emperor..."

"What happened to the Heavenly Emperor? But it seems the Heavenly Emperor has disappeared. That kind of being should be at the level of an immortal, right? How could he have disappeared?" Tian Buyi wondered.

"Even immortals can die. The five signs of decay in a celestial being are extremely terrifying."

Qin Hao said calmly.

Tian Buyi asked in surprise, "You mean, the Heavenly Emperor and the Celestial Being died from the Five Signs of Decay?"

"No no no."

Qin Hao's denial puzzled Tian Buyi even more: "What exactly happened?"

"The Heavenly Emperor has returned to his original form."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that this Heavenly Emperor was actually just a manifestation of my master's thoughts. After his battle with the Asura, he realized his true identity and returned to my master's original form. So, from then on, there was no more legend of the Heavenly Emperor."

"What?" Tian Buyi was stunned. Was that Heavenly Emperor a manifestation of a thought of Qin Hao's master?
How can this be?

"Master, you don't believe me?" Qin Hao laughed, "Actually, the reason this entire Divine Continent exists is because my master was practicing swordsmanship in the chaos, and that sword energy unintentionally created the world. Subsequently, a thought of my master fell into this Divine Continent. My master specially sent this thought down to give me something. The two cups of Giant Tree Spirit Liquid in your hands are formed from the spiritual energy of the first giant tree at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth. After drinking them, although you may not be able to break through to the Taiqing Realm, you will be close. In the future, I will make you two more cups, and you will be able to break through to the Taiqing Realm."

The Pure Realm, that's a legendary place that's impossible to reach.

Now, two cups of this Giant Tree Elixir will suffice?

Su Ru said, "Why don't you drink both of these cups? It would be good for you to get to Taiqing Realm sooner."

Tian Buyi refused: "You should drink it yourself. Since Hao'er said there will be more in the future, let's wait for now."

Qin Hao agreed: "Yes, let's wait a bit. Besides, although this thing can improve your cultivation, you still need to comprehend it. If you don't comprehend it enough, it will be difficult to advance to the Taiqing Realm."

"you……"

Just as Su Ru was about to say something, she remembered that Qin Hao had said he was a reincarnated immortal.

He simply regained his original cultivation level, rather than breaking through it directly.

She shut her mouth, but Tian Buyi suddenly thought of something: "You said your master left you something, what was it?"

Qin Hao chuckled: "The Immortal Execution Sword."

"what?"

Tian Buyi was taken aback, then denied it, saying, "Impossible, that Zhuxian Sword belongs to the founder of my Qingyun Sect..."

He couldn't speak anymore.

"Right?" Qin Hao laughed, "The Zhuxian Sword was found by the founder of the Qingyun Sect, but it wasn't forged by him. If you don't believe me, Master, I can actually summon the Zhuxian Sword at any time. In fact, since Master accepted me as his personal disciple, the Zhuxian Sword has already recognized me as its master. I can summon it at will, and it will fly over automatically."

"No!" Tian Buyi shouted.

But Qin Hao had already formed an idea, and with a wave of his hand, a sword flew over and stopped in front of him.

Is it really the Zhuxian Sword?

As the head of one of the peaks of the Qingyun Sect, how could he not recognize the Zhuxian Sword?
Qin Hao did not go directly to take the Zhuxian Sword, but instead looked at Tian Buyi.

Seeing Tian Buyi's worried expression, Qin Hao guessed that he might know something.

"Don't take it!" Tian Buyi shouted.

Qin Hao looked at Tian Buyi strangely. Tian Buyi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qin Hao did not reach out, and said, "This thing is ominous. In fact, the previous generation died because of this Zhuxian Sword."

It seems that Lao Tian does know something.

Tian Buyi fell into deep thought, and after a while, he recalled and said, "The Zhuxian Sword is indeed very sharp and powerful."

Wielding the Immortal-Slaying Sword, he is invincible in the realm.

However, the Zhuxian Sword is also an ominous symbol; everyone who has wielded it will soon go mad.

I suspect that the previous sect leader died because he took control of the Zhuxian Sword after the Qingyun Sect's incident.

It seems he only had some guesses and didn't know the truth.

Qin Hao chuckled: "The Zhuxian Sword is not just a sword."

In the Immortal Realm, there are three great formations, each capable of defying fate.

The highest-ranking and most powerful formation is the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

This formation consists of four immortal swords: Zhuxian, Luxian, Xianxian, and Juexian. Each of them is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

There is also a formation diagram called the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

It is said that a sword formation was set up, with one saint presiding over it, and it would take four saints to break it.

Sages are those whose primordial spirit resides in the Way of Heaven; as long as the Way of Heaven exists, sages will continue to exist.

To a sage who can know the past and the future, who can control the river of destiny, even the collapse of the world is nothing more than a fleeting cloud.

Unless there is an immeasurable eon, the primordial world collapses, and the Heavenly Dao perishes, sages will not die.

Hiss. What secret is this?
That sounds terrifying.

Countless eons?

saint?

Are they sitting high above the clouds?
Are there three more swords like this?
Qin Hao seemed to have seen through Tian Buyi's thoughts, and immediately chuckled and said, "This sword is just one that my master casually took out. The reason it is called the Immortal Slaughtering Sword is simply because it is tainted with a sword aura of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, and it also contains the inheritance of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation."

In fact, it is just an innate magic weapon, probably of the immortal level.

It's far more powerful than the original Zhuxian Sword.

As if it understood Qin Hao's words, the Zhuxian Sword let out a mournful cry and hovered up and down twice.

This is unfair.

Of course, it probably also knew that it was far less powerful than the genuine Zhuxian Sword.

This is a fact.

what?
Tian Buyi couldn't believe that such a powerful Zhuxian Sword wasn't even its true form.

Well, just as Qin Hao said, this Zhuxian Sword is far from being of the quality that a saint could wield.

Qin Hao reached out and grasped the Immortal Execution Sword. Instantly, all the inheritance contained within it began to rush into Qin Hao's mind.

If Qin Hao's immortal soul hadn't undergone a metamorphosis, he would already be a celestial being's soul.

I'm afraid this one blow will turn him into an idiot.

Even so, he still swayed.

"Be careful."

Tian Buyi was very worried. Although Qin Hao said that it was left by his master, he still felt that the Zhuxian Sword was somewhat sinister based on what he knew.

Qin Hao waved his hand, and his expression returned to normal.

The transmitted plot slowly seeped into my brain.

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master."

However, the legacy is so vast that it seems I'll be carrying it around for the foreseeable future.

Even with my celestial-level soul, I couldn't complete the inheritance in a short time.

My master left me with so many wonderful things.

Therefore, he still needs to stay in this world for a while longer.

This legacy is immense.

"However, the Zhuxian Sword is not as dangerous as you imagine."

This Immortal-Slaying Sword is a celestial-level magic weapon, containing extremely heavy baleful energy.

Its quality has even reached the level of immortals.

Therefore, one must wield this sword without being affected by its malevolent energy, lest one suffer from qi deviation.

The person must reach the level of an immortal, or at least their soul or primordial spirit must reach the level of an immortal.

Otherwise, once used, one will be impacted by the malevolent energy, leading to the loss of one's primordial spirit and possession by demonic possession.

hiss.

So that's the truth.

No wonder that the sect leaders who once wielded the Zhuxian Sword all died under mysterious circumstances.

Moreover, they all seem quite abrupt.

It seems the incident happened in a very short period of time.

"But you?"

"I'm fine. My soul has transformed and is now at the level of a celestial being."

hiss.

Tian Buyi gasped again.

He already knew the level of immortals.

When she was first promoted, she wasn't a celestial being.

There are even true immortals above it.

Being a celestial being is not something everyone can achieve.

And this disciple in front of me is actually a celestial being?

So terrifying.

Qin Hao said, "Alright, Master and Mistress can go into seclusion to cultivate for a while. Try to break through your cultivation level, there's not much time left."

"what?"

"A great calamity is coming. I'm afraid Faxiang and Tianyin Temple will launch an attack. But that's not the most terrifying thing. The real calamity is in the north, even further north."

Tian Buyi found it strange, but he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he took the Giant Tree Spirit Liquid and went into seclusion with Su Ru.

Before going into seclusion, Tian Buyi also recruited thirteen well-performing menial disciples into his inner circle to guard the inner disciples.

Furthermore, it was stated that as long as they caught up with any of the true disciples, they could be promoted to true disciples.

This caused the inner disciples to go crazy.

Tian Buyi added, "Furthermore, what if a true disciple is surpassed?"

Then deduct one year's worth of resources and impose a three-year period of seclusion.

This caused Song Daren and the others to go crazy as well.

If we get caught up, losing face is secondary.

A year's worth of resources would be a serious blow.

It's important to know that the resources of Dazhu Peak are not what they used to be; they have increased tenfold, or even dozens of times.

I just gritted my teeth and endured it.

But he'll also be punished with three years of seclusion?
That would be tragic.

With no other option, all the disciples of Dazhu Peak went into seclusion.

This includes the dozen or so handymen disciples who were recently promoted to inner sect.

As for those miscellaneous disciples, Tian Buyi also promised that as long as they advanced to the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm, they could also be promoted to the inner sect.

boom.

Suddenly, the entire Great Bamboo Peak, even the menial disciples, went crazy.

Who doesn't want a promotion?
It's already been quantified; as long as they work hard, they all have a chance.

Dao Xuan was also puzzled and wanted to know what was so strange about Dazhu Peak.

But he couldn't come over to Dazhu Peak either.

Tian Ling'er and Qi Hao were getting along very well, but Qi Hao could no longer get anything from Tian Ling'er, whether it was resources or anything else.

Tian Ling'er also wanted her lover to be ambitious, so she kept urging him to quickly inform Cang Song that he wanted to marry into Dazhu Peak.

Qi Hao was somewhat worried.

Tian Ling'er suddenly said, "Don't worry, my seventh senior brother said so."

Your master, Uncle Cangsong, will be looking for you soon, hoping you can enter Dazhu Peak.

what?
Qi Hao was a little confused as to why Tian Ling'er would say that, but Tian Ling'er said, "I don't know either. This is what my seventh senior brother told me. But he told me that if you want to succeed, you can't tell your master about this, otherwise my seventh senior brother won't let you in. And you won't be able to complete your master's mission either."

what?
Qi Hao didn't believe it at first, but a month later, Cang Song actually summoned him and gave him a task.

"Aren't you very close to Tian Ling'er? Does Dazhu Peak want you to marry into their family?"

Qi Hao was startled. Could it be...?

No, Master wouldn't do that.

But another voice was telling him.

Cangsong will make him do it.

Cangsong said, "Since that's the case, you can pretend to marry into the family and help me investigate the strangeness of this Dazhu Peak."

Qi Hao was confused and somewhat flustered, but eventually followed Tian Ling'er over.

Qin Hao summoned Qi Hao and laughed, "If you're so capable, then go ahead and inquire. You can inquire about Cang Song's mission all you want. However, I reckon you won't be able to wait much longer, because you won't be able to go back."

What? (End of Chapter)
