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

Before long, Qin Hao had already left the area of ​​Tianyin Temple.

Faxiang said in great shock, "This person really didn't leave Tianyin Temple? Then who was it that I saw at Qingyun Sect?"

Pu Hong was also puzzled. For some reason, he suddenly realized something and exclaimed in alarm, "Could it be the manifestation body, the reward body, or even the Dharma body?"

The Buddhist Three Bodies system allows one to cultivate an external manifestation.

However, not everyone can cultivate, and strength varies.

“Senior brother, Puzhi will be waking up soon too,” Pude said.

So a group of people, actually the three great monks, arrived at the forbidden area with their Dharma images.

A monk, his face filled with sorrow, closed his eyes, as if he would never wake up.

But the next moment, the monk opened his eyes and saw four people approaching.

"Junior brother."

"Master."

The monk shifted his body; having remained still for many years, his body seemed somewhat rusty.

After a long while, he finally sat up, his face full of distress: "That benefactor has finally left."

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to wake up.

That person's strength is hard to discern.

But it is absolutely extremely strong.

Even the three senior brothers working together were no match for Qin Hao.

He also deciphered the wordless jade disc; I wonder if his strength has improved further?

Only after he left did Puzhi feel that the karma attached to him had eased a little, and only then did he dare to wake up.

"Junior brother, what is your strength?" Pu Hong asked hurriedly.

The three of them haven't improved their strength for many years, as they've all been used up on Puzhi to help him maintain his physical vitality.

Fortunately, Puzhi has awakened, and Tianyin Temple has regained the strength of its four great monks. Four Shangqing Realm masters are enough.

If you can't be the boss, then be the second-in-command.

Moreover, Puzhi may not necessarily be without promotion.

"You've been promoted." Puzhi nodded, a hint of joy finally appearing on his face, no longer so sorrowful.

"That's great."

Is it really the Taiqing Realm?

"What exactly is the Taiqing Realm?"

"Our Tianyin Temple is finally about to rise."

Upon hearing that Puzhi had advanced to the Taiqing Realm, the group was overjoyed.

The three monks even conceived the idea of ​​replacing Qingyun Sect as the number one righteous sect.

Although Faxiang was happy, he had to pour cold water on it: "Master, Uncle-Master."

Although I don't know the exact level of Elder Qin Hao, it's definitely not low.

Now he also wields the Immortal Execution Sword.

At Qingyun Sect, Faxiang was unaware of Qin Hao's exact strength.

However, he was aware that the other party had wielded the Immortal Execution Sword and killed Yu Yangzi with a single strike.

"Moreover, I did not see any backlash against the other party in the month that followed. Also, at that time, the other party was in Qingyun Sect and had a body in Tianyin Temple."

"what?"

Puzhi immediately snapped out of his daze: "Tell me what's going on?"

Fa Xiang recounted everything he knew: "When I saw Qin Hao at Qingyun Sect, I was already terrified."

Puzhi pondered for a moment: "Things are getting complicated. We'll just have to continue lying low for now."

In an instant, the four monks all looked distressed.

Those who don't know the situation might think they are grieving for all living beings.

In reality, he was just feeling miserable and needed to lie low.

"It's alright, what we Buddhists excel at is lying low."

Pu Hong thought for a moment and said, "Then, Junior Brother Pu Zhi, perhaps you could let us experience the Taiqing Realm. Then, we can guess and assess whether Elder Qin's strength is indeed at the Taiqing Realm."

Pude's eyes lit up: "That's right. He fought alongside the three of us. Although we were no match for him, we know a bit about him and can get a sense of his strength from the side."

If Qin Hao is in the Taiqing Realm and also possesses the Zhuxian Sword.

Then they don't need to think about it anymore.

Before Qin Hao died, Tianyin Temple could not possibly do anything beyond their capabilities.

However, if the opponent's strength is not as good as Puzhi's and they have not entered the Taiqing Realm, then there are some things that can be planned.

Over the next few days, Puzhi cultivated for a few days, which helped him stabilize his realm, move his body, and readjust to his body that he hadn't moved for several years.

Then, they had a battle in the back mountain, allowing the three senior brothers to sense the strength of the Taiqing Realm.

Even if Puzhi didn't use Tianyin Temple's ultimate magic weapon, Puhong and the other two were no match for him.

"The Taiqing Realm is indeed terrifying."

"That's great. Although Qin Hao didn't seem to be going all out, Junior Brother Puzhi was clearly more at ease. That guy probably didn't advance to the Taiqing Realm."

“That’s right. In this way, my Tianyin Temple can also compete for more say.”

In the cultivation world, strength equates to power.

The right to speak means the distribution of benefits.

These benefits include many things, such as the source of disciples.

Tianyin Temple only occupies a few places near Tianyin Temple, unless they come to Tianyin Temple from afar.

Otherwise, Tianyin Temple is not allowed to recruit disciples outside its boundaries.

If it weren't for the fact that Buddhist practices don't have high requirements for aptitude, Tianyin Temple would hardly be able to maintain its current situation.

Incense Valley is actually larger than the territory of their Tianyin Temple.

But that's because Incense Valley occupies the border and needs to guard against the witch people.

At this point, Tianyin Temple was clearly no longer satisfied with its current status.

Even if we can't overthrow Qingyun Sect and let Tianyin Temple take over as the leader.

We also need to get some food out of the Qingyun Sect.

Tianyin Temple also needs more outstanding disciples.

What if a disciple as outstanding as Qin Hao emerges?

Thinking of Qin Hao, Puzhi's face fell again.

His expression suddenly changed, and disregarding everything else, he quickly sat down and began meditating.

Pu Hong was also taken aback and became quite nervous.

After an hour, Puzhi opened his eyes.

Pu Hong asked with concern, "Junior brother, how are you?"

Puzhi said with a pained expression, "Just now, the cause and effect were triggered, and I was almost dragged down from the Taiqing Realm."

"What?" The three great monks were all startled.

All their current plans are based on the premise that Puzhi has already reached the Taiqing realm.

Once he falls from grace.

That's simply unimaginable.

Puzhi also said with great distress, "There is no other way. My own cultivation method relies on cause and effect to save my life."

Then, by refining the cause and effect, one can advance to the Taiqing Realm.

Now the cause and effect have taken hold, and it's possible that this lingering effect will never be overcome.

Qin Hao is too strong.

To resolve the cause and effect, one must repay the debt.

However, Qin Hao has already reached the level of wielding the Immortal Execution Sword, so what else does he need to repay?

Is it fate?

There are also the karmic debts of more than two hundred, nearly three hundred, people in Caomiao Village.

Although they keep saying, "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot."

But can one truly become a Buddha by laying down the butcher's knife?
And this cause and effect, is it really impossible not to repay it?

"Qin Hao must die."

The same thought crossed the minds of the four eminent monks.

Just like the leaders of Buddhism, Jieyin and Zhunti, there is another way to resolve karma.

That means killing the other party who owes you a debt of karma.

Since the person is gone, why should there be any need to repay the debts of karma?
When a person dies, their debts are wiped out. And it has to be to the point where even the soul is dead beyond any hope of survival.

They can no longer be reincarnated, they can no longer exist.

The pain on their faces had vanished, replaced by a hint of terror.

Faxiang closed his eyes, refusing to look at these things.

It's as if it doesn't exist if you don't look at it.

Just then, a disciple rushed up to report: "It's terrible, Sect Leader. News has come from Qingyun Sect that a great calamity has begun."

what?
At this time, the Qingyun Sect.

Qin Hao sat upright in the main seat of Biyou Palace on Dazhu Peak.

Surrounding them were the elders and chiefs of each peak.

Below are most of the disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

Apart from the disciples on duty, everyone else is already here.

Today is the day Qin Hao ascends to the throne as the sect leader.

"Please take a seat, Sect Leader."

"Please take a seat, Sect Leader."

From ordinary disciple to inner disciple, to core disciple, to elder, to head disciple.

Each person willingly and respectfully invited Qin Hao to take a seat.

Even Dao Xuan was the same.

Wan Jianyi and Cangsong also arrived, but they stood in the corner, looking at Qin Hao with complicated yet firm eyes. Qin Hao walked forward step by step and then took the first seat.

"I've met the leader."

Everyone bowed down.

With a wave of his hand, Qin Hao conjured countless lotus flowers, which lifted them up.

After they stood up, he bowed again.

Then lotus flowers rise up.

After this was repeated three times, Dao Xuan and the others finally stood still.

Then, they lift their lotus flowers to the ground, where they quickly take root and grow, and a lotus platform is formed.

There are lotus pods on top.

"This is a gift I bestow upon you."

Everyone was astonished; this was actually a real object?

The lotus fragrance was indeed delightful, yet refreshing and lingering.

Dao Xuan plucked the lotus pod and discovered that it was actually a spiritual medicine useful in the Taiqing Realm—the pod of the Blazing Red Lotus, which had exceptionally good medicinal effects.

It should be known that each of these medicinal plants requires hundreds, or even thousands, of years to mature.

But how long did it take for it to ripen?
Can't believe it.

Everyone seemed to have received a spiritual herb that suited their level of cultivation, and all of them were extremely precious.

This?
"Come atop the lotus platform. I will preach for three days."

This is yet another precious opportunity.

Dao Xuan quickly put away the spiritual medicine. Of course, he had no idea that this was because Qin Hao had pushed the wood element law to its limit for this purpose.

In addition, the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and most importantly, the law of time were all utilized.

It was only by burning the immortal water and activating the laws of the Time-Space Palace that this was accomplished.

It's not that we can't do it again, but it consumes too much energy and magic potion.

However, showing off one's abilities in public is also necessary.

This greatly enhanced the confidence and cohesion of the Qingyun Sect.

"The Tao that can be spoken of..."

"The Way of Heaven..."

"The beginning of cultivation..."

Every word Qin Hao uttered captivated the audience.

With each word Qin Hao uttered, golden flowers seemed to gather.

This is a manifestation of the Dao and its laws, appearing according to Qin Hao's will.

Dao Xuan reached out and caught a golden flower, only to discover that he had actually mastered a protective spell, the Auspicious Cloud Golden Lamp.

"this?"

He reached out and grabbed another golden flower; this time, his magical power increased considerably.

Upon grasping again, he discovered that his understanding of the realm had improved.

This?
This is a great blessing.

When immortals impart their teachings, naturally different scenarios will occur.

Embarking on the path of spiritual practice means constantly interacting with the Tao around us.

Upon becoming an immortal, one's connection with the surrounding Dao has reached a certain level, allowing one to control the surrounding Dao to a certain extent.

For these people who had not yet become immortals, even a single hair that fell from Qin Hao's body was an invaluable treasure.

Therefore, even if he were to express his understanding of the Tao, others might not be able to comprehend it.

However, since they extracted Qin Hao's understanding of the Dao, they naturally gained something as well.

However, they still have a long way to go before they can truly integrate and apply this knowledge.

These understandings, more or less, all come from Qin Hao.

But if they want to refine these Daos and make them their own, they naturally need to take one more step.

Three days later.

Qin Hao stopped speaking.

Dao Xuan and the others opened their eyes one after another.

They discovered that they had all gained a lot, more or less, from Qin Hao's methods.

It seems that Qin Hao has a good understanding of the path they all cultivate, and when he speaks, he does so from a high vantage point, giving them a comprehensive and insightful guide on how to proceed in the future.

Everyone seemed to have found their way to the future.

At this moment, Qin Hao stopped speaking, and they did indeed feel somewhat reluctant.

It's like being suddenly woken up while you're sound asleep; it's naturally a bit uncomfortable.

"Sect Leader, I don't know..."

Qin Hao waved his hand: "Just because you listen to the Dao every day doesn't mean you'll necessarily get better."

I have shown you the path to the future, but you need to walk this path yourselves to discover whether it is right for you.

Furthermore, how are you progressing on this path? Are you taking it steadily? Will you be able to reach the other side and successfully ascend to immortality in the future?

These are all things you currently want to do and must do.

When you have accumulated enough knowledge and experience in the future, I will give sermons from time to time.

In addition, you can accumulate merit points, which can be exchanged for opportunities to comprehend the Heavenly Book Stele, and for opportunities to receive personal, private guidance from me.

At that moment, everyone's breathing quickened.

Even Dao Xuan, the more powerful a person is, the more he understands Qin Hao's profound abilities.

Dao Xuan even sensed that whether he could become an immortal depended on whether Qin Hao was willing to guide him.

He needs to accumulate enough merits.

After everyone had left.

Qin Hao finally received a message from Skynet.

"Oh? Biyao wants to exchange her opportunity to present the second volume of the Heavenly Book in exchange for me removing the Immortal-Slaying Sword Qi from the Ghost King?"

It is not impossible.

The future self stepped out of Qin Hao's body.

Qin Hao said, "I'll leave it to you to make the trip."

The future self nodded: "We are one, I'll be right back."

It's highly likely that the Ghost King didn't genuinely want to hand over the second volume of the Heavenly Book.

But it doesn't matter. If the other party doesn't hand it over, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi will continue to damage their body, and they will have to hand it over sooner or later.

As for whether the Ghost King will be unwilling to accept defeat and will ultimately use the Four Spirits Blood Array to summon Asura?
Qin Hao didn't actually care.

His seven-colored dragon clone already possessed the combat power of a celestial being.

"If I set up another Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, even against a Taiyi cultivator, I'd have the strength to protect myself. Besides, the opponent's strength has definitely declined significantly; they might not even be a Celestial Immortal anymore. Otherwise, they would have come in on their own; why would they need someone to summon them?" (End of Chapter)
