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

Zhang Tao cautiously observed the figure that had suddenly appeared.

Qin Hao gave him a dangerous feeling, but judging from his appearance, he was just a grandmaster.

Zhang Tao himself is a mere silver coin, and he naturally suspects that others are also hiding their true strength.

"Don't worry, I said I'm a New Martial Human, and I am a New Martial Human. It's just that I'm a little different from others; I carry the memories of my past life."

"What? You're a resurrected martial artist?"

Not to mention Zhentian City, there is also a lot of information about resurrected martial artists in Xinwu.

Therefore, the resurrected martial artist is a top secret to ordinary people.

But for Zhang Tao, the new leader of the martial arts world, this was already familiar information.

Qin Hao shook his head: "It's not resurrection."

He walked over, and with a wave of his hand, a recliner and a tea table appeared.

Qin Hao sat down and brewed a pot of tea for Zhang Tao: "Want a cup?"

Zhang Tao was a little worried, so he walked over and sat on another recliner.

But they did not relax their scrutiny of Qin Hao.

Qin Hao chuckled: "If I wanted to deal with you, even if you were hiding your strength, you wouldn't be my match. Li Zhen just chatted with me, and he's still suspicious, wondering which of my old friends I am."

Ha ha.

Qin Hao had anticipated this scene.

Zhang Tao quickly realized that the Li Zhen Qin Hao mentioned was that senior.

Instead of his old partner Li Zhen.

Does this person know Senior Li Zhen?
"Don't worry, if you want to know the answer, I can tell you. It's just that your strength is not enough yet, and I'm afraid that if you know the answer, the sky will fall."

Ok?
Zhang Tao hesitated for a moment, then sat down, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"Hmm? Good tea, huh?"

The tea is quickly absorbed once it enters the body.

Zhang Tao discovered that his blood and energy, as well as his mental energy, seemed to be very active.

Then he discovered that his vital energy and mental strength were declining.

The Heavenly King, who was standing in the distance, was also taken aback and was about to get up.

However, he then sat down again.

"This is a good item, but I wonder where it came from?"

The Heavenly King could tell that the food Qin Hao gave Zhang Tao was indeed of high quality.

Even after drinking a cup, Lian Juedian was able to compress and purify the blood and spiritual energy within his body.

Although the quantity was reduced by one-third, the quality was improved by half.

This will boost their combat effectiveness.

Moreover, it has improved a lot in the future.

Zhang Tao opened his eyes and felt that his golden body was getting much closer to the ninth level of refinement.

But, does the golden body become untrainable after reaching the pinnacle?
The body's vital energy and spiritual power are compressed, seemingly reducing their quantity.

In fact, the quality has improved.

I am now several times my size as I was just now.

The current version of myself is several times stronger than the version of myself from before.

"This is?"

Although he benefited, Zhang Tao was not blinded by greed.

Qin Hao chuckled: "It's just a glass of royal-grade juice. Now that Cangmao is here, why don't you show yourself? Don't you want the juice, or don't you want the royal-grade roasted meat?"

Royal-grade juice?
What is this name?
And who is Cangmao?

How come I didn't even notice I was here?

Zhang Tao was still stunned when a large golden cat suddenly appeared.

I go.

Are there really cats this big and this fat in the world?

"You're the fat one, your whole family is fat." The gray cat ran over and slapped Zhang Tao with its paw.

However, it had no effect on Zhang Tao.

The Azure Cat did not actually make a move.

Zhang Tao was already shocked by just a casual swipe of the blue cat's claw.

He could tell, of course, that the Azure Cat hadn't actually made a move, but even a ninth-grade demon beast wouldn't be a match for that claw, right?

"The ultimate cat?"

However, at this moment, Cangmao had no time to pay attention to Zhang Tao.

Instead, she looked at Qin Hao with a silly and cute expression: "Is it you who keeps saying you want to raise a cat? Let me tell you, cats are not easy to raise, and cats don't fight or kill each other."

Although all demonic beasts of the ninth rank and above can speak, even grandmaster-level demonic beasts may speak.

But Cangmao's performance still shocked Zhang Tao.

What shocked the most was actually the Heavenly King of Zhen.

"How come this person is so familiar with the Azure Cat? And with the royal-grade juice?"

The Heavenly King was naturally aware of the magical properties of the Azure Cat.

The Azure Cat always follows a chosen one of destiny.

Could it be that he is the chosen one this time?
What about the Demon Emperor?
The person in front of him might not even be his match.

When did someone like this suddenly appear?
But why is there no reaction at all from the underground cave?

Of course, he didn't know that Qin Hao had tampered with things.

Apart from Zhang Tao and him, no one else can see him.

Qin Hao chuckled and took out a bunch of world lord-level juices and drinks, as well as barbecue.

A single Realm Lord monster can produce enough roasted meat to feed the entire Magic Martial Arts School for decades.

Qin Hao didn't feel sorry for him at all.

The gray cat's eyes widened immediately.

Qin Hao said, "Aren't you going to eat? Then I'll take it..."

"eat……"

The cat didn't care about anything else and immediately jumped over. Another recliner appeared over there, which the cat pressed down on. After jumping around a few times, it finally collapsed.

The cat carefully controlled the roasted meat and put it into its mouth, enjoying it immensely.

He drank another glass of juice, burped, and thoroughly enjoyed it: "It really is royal-grade juice. I've always wanted to eat this, but isn't royal-grade juice not allowed in this world? How did you get it?"

Qin Hao didn't say anything, but reached out to pet the cat.

The cat instinctively wanted to resist, but then it lay down.

"The cat approves of you, you can keep the cat now."

It's just petting cats. If they can eat royal-grade juice and barbecue as much as they want, Cangmao is quite practical.

Qin Hao laughed heartily: "It's alright, don't mention it's just you, Cangmao."

"Even if a celestial dog comes along, I can afford to feed it. It's just some royal-grade juice and grilled meat, of course, if you want royal-grade hot pot, I can provide that too."

"Tengu?" Cang Mao was somewhat saddened when this was mentioned: "Tengu hasn't appeared for a long time."

"It's nothing." Qin Hao continued petting the cat, making Zhang Tao, who was standing next to him, feel a little tempted to do the same.

Qin Hao said, "The Heavenly Dog died in ancient times, but it won't be long before it is resurrected."

The cat was taken aback for a moment, then happily resumed eating the royal-grade juice.

Zhang Tao was a little confused: "What is the royal-grade juice that you're talking about, senior?"

Qin Hao turned around: "Are you sure you want to know all this now? Sometimes, knowing too much can make you lose motivation."

Zhang Tao hesitated for a moment, then Qin Hao smiled and said, "Don't be so ambitious. Let me tell you some things you should know first."

Sometimes, a little pressure can indeed motivate you more. But too much pressure can easily overwhelm you.

Let's start with something lighter and talk about the different levels of spiritual cultivation.

The definition of "new martial arts," from first to ninth grade, is essentially about cultivating qi and blood. Although it also requires spiritual strength, the requirements are not actually very high.

what?
Isn't that high?

"Because Xinwu doesn't have any methods for cultivating spiritual power, right? I can give you some of those."

what?
Some more?
Qin Hao casually tossed out a few jade stones, which Zhang Tao caught and, without any instruction, immediately channeled his spiritual energy into them.

After a while, he opened his eyes, a flash of surprise crossing his face: "It really is a method of cultivating mental power. And there are easy and difficult methods, and even methods that specialize in cultivating mental power?"

Qin Hao looked at Zhang Tao and shook his head slightly: "What you are doing now is the simplified path of the human king, which has both advantages and disadvantages."

Before Zhang Tao could even speak, Cang Mao turned to him and said, "This is a fake Human Emperor."

Zhang Tao was taken aback: "What is the Way of the Human King, and what is a false Human Emperor?"

He looked at Qin Hao, hoping Qin Hao could explain it to him.

Qin Hao said, "Actually, it is the true king's way in the underground cave, also known as the way of all people."

After a pause, Qin Hao said disdainfully, "Actually, this is the path to godhood through incense offerings. It's about gathering the power of many to help oneself embark on the path to godhood."

But incense is poisonous, and everyone has different expectations of you.

You can never completely satisfy everyone, so their thoughts are contained in the incense, and you absorb them every moment.

Now that you're on the rise, there's naturally no problem.

But one day, you will absorb too much incense offerings, while your own strength will stagnate.

The offerings from all the people on Earth are enough to drag you down from your pedestal.

Even Bodhisattvas fear the law of cause and effect; they dare not directly absorb these offerings of incense.

The Eight Treasures Merit Pool in Buddhism is used to purify and transform incense offerings.

They even used these transformed and purified incense sticks to cultivate golden lotuses.

Zhang Tao frowned; he didn't quite understand what Qin Hao was saying.

Qin Hao said, "Actually, it's just like what those sects preach. A sect needs people to believe in it, and those incense offerings are the spiritual energy that you can put into your original Dao every moment."

Without any purification, it was directly refined. Even though you've been clearing a path all the time, it's already tens of thousands of meters wide, right?

However, your path is still riddled with impurities, making your path somewhat unrealistic. Becoming an emperor is no problem, but advancing to immortality will be more difficult.

"Emperor Cheng? What's that?" Zhang Tao asked. "Senior, could you please explain?"

Although he didn't quite trust the person in front of him, Zhang Tao still asked respectfully.

Not for any other reason than for these secrets.

The mental cultivation method that Qin Hao casually gave him just now was already a huge gain for him.

But Xinwu was still too poor.

Moreover, there are too many secrets that Shin-wu doesn't know.

Senior Li Zhen refused to say.

He could only rely on his own guesses and the research he found in some ancient texts.

Qin Hao said, "Alright, let's get back to the realm of cultivation."

There's not much to say about ranks one through nine; it's really just about accumulating qi and blood.

But once you reach the ninth rank, you enter the Origin Path.

Yes, in ancient times, there were still primordial martial arts, but those primordial martial arts were like stray dogs, suppressed by the Origin Dao.

However, the original Dao itself also has huge flaws, which we will not discuss here.

Above the ninth rank is the pinnacle. Speaking of which, it was named by the new martial arts school.

Above the pinnacle lies the Emperor-level powerhouse.

"Emperor level?" Zhang Tao was shocked.

Qin Hao nodded: "Yes, Emperor level. You're not too far off. If you continue to absorb those incense offerings recklessly, your Origin Dao will be over 10,000 meters long, and that will be about it."

Zhang Tao looked at his original path; it was nine thousand meters long.

It's really not that far.

Others might find it difficult to reach this level, but his mental strength grows too fast every moment.

He shouldn't need much longer, maybe two or three years, to reach that point.

Qin Hao added, "Above the Emperor level is the Saint realm."

Although I admire the people of this world, they dare to use the word "saint" so casually.

Those whose virtue does not match their position will surely face calamity.

These words made even the Heavenly King's eyebrows twitch.

Qin Hao didn't care at all: "You don't need to ask about the strength of the Sage or how he is evaluated. Above the Sage is the Heavenly King. When you can break through the Eighth or even Ninth Heaven in the Underground Cave, you can reach the level of the Emperor."

hiss.

Although it's still unknown whether it's true or not, Zhang Tao is still quite frightening.

At this moment, Qin Hao suddenly said, "Zhen, um, Senior Li Zhen, if you want to stop this, there's no need to hesitate."

Li Zhen?

What was Qin Hao trying to say just now?
It seems that Senior Li Zhen indeed has many secrets.

The Heavenly King hesitated for a while but still did not come out.

He couldn't see through Qin Hao's strength.

No matter how you look at it, he's just a grandmaster.

But he just asked a few people, and none of them could see through this place.

This also includes casting gods to create.

Although he does not allow people to go out freely.

But it is true that it can observe the outside world.

The Heavenly King was unsure of what to do, so he dared not come.

Qin Hao casually said a few words, which still left Zhang Tao somewhat shocked.

At the same time, he did feel immense pressure.

It seemed as if he was about to be crushed at any moment.

"Are all of these true?"

Qin Hao chuckled: "That's natural. In ancient times, there were nine emperors and four sovereigns who suppressed the three realms. It wasn't peaceful back then. But you don't need to worry. The nine emperors and four sovereigns, well, I should say, the ten emperors and four sovereigns, can't come out right now, so you don't need to worry either. You still have time, but the Child of Destiny has already been born, so you probably don't have much time to hesitate anymore."

After a pause, Qin Hao took out a pool-like object and tossed it over.

“A small thing that is casually forged. After refining it, put it into your Origin Dao. It can suppress your Origin Dao and prevent others from using divine artifacts to break into your Origin Dao and cause you danger.”

what?
Can the Path of Origin be entered by people?

"This thing can purify incense offerings; it's the legendary Buddhist Eight Treasures Merit Pool. I've modified it a bit; let's call it the Taoist Seven Profound Merit Pool. If you have any use for your spiritual energy, you can also condense it into Merit Pool water, where you can cultivate some good things you need, like the Heavenly Golden Lotus?"

what?
Zhang Tao exclaimed in surprise.

He couldn't believe it.

The Heavenly Golden Lotus originates from the Sea of ​​Bitterness, also known as the Forbidden Sea. It can nurture spiritual power and is a high-grade item of the eighth rank.

Can I train them myself?

This little thing?
Qin Hao chuckled: "What's so special about it? It's just a small eighth-grade thing. If you can continue on the path of the Human Emperor, when you become an Emperor, break through to the Emperor realm, and achieve immortality, you can cultivate even Emperor-level fruit trees."

Zhang Tao was still in a daze.

Qin Hao then laughed and said, "But right now, I think what you should be worried about, Zhang Tao, is the Tiannan Cave."

what?
These were two shouts, made simultaneously by Zhang Tao and Li Zhen.

However, Zhang Tao shouted out "a group," which shocked Li Zhen.

"How could he have known something bad was going to happen in the Tiannan Underground Cave?" (End of Chapter)
