There are no ancestors at all; I made them all up.

Chapter 51 Fate is wonderful
Nanbin, Wanghai City, Xuanji Villa.

The three sat quietly under the ancient tree.

The person in charge was a middle-aged Taoist priest, dressed in a black Taoist robe with star patterns. He had a thin face and was the person in charge of the Xuanji Chess Academy's trip to Nanbin. He was the Qi Observer "Xingliuzi".

Two young disciples stood below him.

The person on the left is as upright as a pine tree, with a sharp aura like a drawn sword; the person on the right is slightly thin, but has skin as smooth as jade, and deep blue waves seem to ripple in the depths of his pupils, with a long and profound aura.

Mo Huaiyong quickly entered the courtyard and respectfully bowed, "Senior Brother Xingliu." His gaze swept over his two disciples, and he forced a smile, "These two must be the newly discovered Yuan Qi seeds, right? Profound Light Dao Body, Azure Sea Spiritual Heart! Seeing is believing, truly a prodigy!"

The two disciples nodded slightly, saying "Uncle-Master, you flatter me," but the arrogance between their brows was hard to hide.

"Enough with the small talk," Xing Liuzi said calmly, twirling a jade chess piece between his fingers without even raising his eyelids. "Junior Brother Mo, where is the person you recommended? Summon him quickly, examine his aptitude, and we can set off for Xuyuan Mountain as soon as possible. Although those fools at Haiyuan Temple have courted their own death, they have caused the aura of Xuyuan Fuli to manifest. The people from Baiqin Valley are already on their way, and we can't let them get ahead of us. We can't afford any delays."

Mo Huaiyong hurriedly said, "Senior brother, that person is the head of a minor sect named Chen Qing, who lives in Mingxia Mountain. Although he is already the head of a sect, he is still young, and his aptitude and comprehension are both top-notch, and moreover..."

"Sect Leader?" Xing Liuzi's fingers, which were fiddling with the chess pieces, suddenly stopped. He raised his eyes and stared at them coldly, his bright eyes filled with murderous intent: "Junior Brother Mo, are you confused? When selecting Yuan Qi Seeds, the most important thing is that the Dao Foundation is as pure as uncut jade! Look at what Junior Brother Hun and the others have found..."

He raised his chin and pointed at two proud disciples: "The Profound Light Dao Body and the Azure Sea Spiritual Heart are both one in ten thousand! Like a blank sheet of paper, untouched by worldly cultivation methods, they possess infinite possibilities!"

After a pause, Xing Liuzi's tone carried a hint of sarcasm: "You've created a sect leader based on cultivation methods? How many worldly thoughts and karmic influences are tainted by it? How can it fit into the traditions of my Chess Academy? Wouldn't that break the rules and make us a laughingstock?!"

Momo Huaiyong's smile froze: "Senior brother! This boy's progress is astonishing. Even under the illumination of Tianyunzi, there are unusual phenomena. It is suspected that his Dao body has awakened!"

"Dao Body?" Upon hearing this, Xingliuzi not only did not feel relieved, but shook his head and said in a warning tone, "Junior Brother Mo, do you think the Dao Body is just roadside weeds? The Profound Light Dao Body and the Azure Sea Spiritual Heart are such talents that it takes generations for the Chess Academy to produce one! How could a crude little sect leader awaken them? Absurd!"

He categorically rejected it, dismissing it as mere conjecture.

"Om-!"

Urgent news arrived from the sky!

Xingliuzi scanned the area with his spiritual sense, his expression changed drastically, and he abruptly stood up!
"The clouds and mist outside Mount Xuyuan have dispersed! The restrictions have loosened! The Thunder Vulture from Hundred Birds Valley has arrived at the foot of the mountain!" He no longer cared about Mo Huaiyong's explanation and his gaze swept over the two young disciples: "We must not let Hundred Birds Valley seize the initiative!" With that, he flicked his sleeve, and a streak of starlight swept up the two disciples!
The three figures transformed into streaks of light and soared into the sky, heading straight for the heavens!
It moved so fast that it left only a faint afterimage of starlight in place.

"Senior brother! That Chen Qing..." Mo Huaiyong's shout was torn apart by the gale.

In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the courtyard.

The courtyard was deserted, with only his face ashen.

We painstakingly discovered a prodigy, only to be met with such contempt! Even the opportunity to verify his talent was brutally interrupted!
Just then, the message arrived.

He picked it up, scanned it with his divine sense, and his expression changed drastically!

"The growth of vegetation? This is likely due to the influence of the Dao of Heaven and Earth refining one's body! It is indeed a sign of the awakening of the Dao Body!" He put down the communication talisman and looked in the direction where Xing Liuzi had left. "The Dao Body is grass? You are clearly blind! I will report this matter directly to the sect! Let's see how you handle it!"

Mingxia Mountain Quiet Room.

The tide of spiritual energy gradually subsided.

Chen Qing opened and closed his eyes, his divine light shining brightly! A jade-like luster appeared around his body, his aura was harmonious and transparent, and he was completely one with heaven and earth!
In the center of the sea of ​​consciousness, the immaculate spiritual light hangs high like the moon, its clear radiance spreading everywhere, pure and bright.

"This feedback has far exceeded our expectations! It not only saved us years of refinement, but also allowed us to master the Immaculate Dao Foundation ahead of schedule!"

Back when he was in the first realm, he mastered the Great Harmony Qi a whole realm ahead of time, and thus gained all sorts of extraordinary abilities. Now, although he has not exaggerated his realm, the pure spiritual light that came from watching the Immortal Emperor ascend to immortality is an enlightenment that is probably unmatched by anyone in the entire mortal world!
Its foundation is incredibly solid, even surpassing the level it achieved in the dream!
After a brief moment of reflection, he felt his five senses become several times more acute, his thoughts flowed like lightning, and his perception and affinity for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth reached an extremely high level!

With a slight thought, he activated the laws of heaven and earth.

"Buzz!"

The spiritual energy inside and outside the quiet room responds to the call, condensing into a crystal droplet of water at your fingertips!
Within the water droplets lies a trace of the vitality of plants, the weight of rocks, and the coolness of night dew... all the elements of nature blend harmoniously together!
"wonderful!"

Having obtained the Lord of Spiritual Light, the consumption of this "Qi Harmony with Heaven and Earth" method is negligible, and its operation can be done at will!
"With this foundation, once the Destiny Talisman is formed, the Foundation Establishment stage can be reached in the blink of an eye!"

After this thought settled, he did not rush to get up. Instead, he circulated his cultivation technique, using the still surging spiritual energy in his body to cleanse his meridians, temper his bones, and nourish his internal organs, repeatedly solidifying and refining the realm he had just broken through!
This process is more tedious, but also more important than the breakthrough itself.

Time passed during meditation.

Once the surging emotions within his body had completely subsided and his state of mind had become as stable as a mountain, Chen Qingfang opened his eyes again.

His eyes held a divine brilliance, and his entire body shimmered with precious light.

This breakthrough saved at least a year of hard work, and the foundation has been honed to an extremely solid level, laying a perfect foundation for the later stages of the competition.

"It's time to bring out the sect's refining methods, study them, and prepare for what's to come in the dream..."

He got up, pushed open the door, and went out.

Upon seeing this, Fang Da'ao, who was practicing his boxing outside the door, was immediately overcome with excitement: "Uncle-Master! Uncle-Master! The mountain-like power penetrates to the bone, unparalleled in its ferocity! I've grasped it!" He then excitedly swung his fists, each punch accompanied by a muffled whooshing sound, his muscles and bones resonating in unison!
Qu Xiaoyao stood in the corner of the courtyard, her small body assuming the posture of the Five Animal Frolics. Although she was still quite young, she was beginning to show the spirit of the movement. Her movements even caused a slight stirring of the sparse spiritual energy!
"Good! Good! Good!" Chen Qing exclaimed three times, his eyes filled with satisfaction. "The Great Claw has established its foundation, and the Little Ray is showing initial signs of comprehension. Both of them have promising futures!"

Fang Da'ao said, "It's all thanks to my uncle, this morning..."

Chen Qing waved his hand to stop him from speaking: "Don't talk about this outside for now!"

"Yes!"

The two children quickly refocused and began their training. Looking at the benefits his disciples had gained because of his breakthrough, Chen Qing felt a sense of clarity.

When one attains enlightenment, even the plants and trees benefit from his grace.

"However, I have not yet attained enlightenment; at most, I have attained spiritual power."

After encouraging the two, Chen Qingxin felt something and looked at the old pine tree in the courtyard.

On a pine branch, a golden monkey sat cross-legged. When it saw Chen Qing looking over, it immediately put its paws together in a gesture of respect, its eyes filled with a bright and intelligent light!
Seeing this, Chen Qing smiled, feeling much relieved.

For the next two days, he did not rush to go out, but stayed on the mountain at home. He had more than enough spiritual marrow and medicinal materials from his previous purchases.

In the quiet room, Chen Qing was engrossed in the book in his hands.

"The method of furnace refining involves finding the earth's veins and fire eyes, setting up the Nine Palaces Furnace Array, and drawing out the Samadhi for calcination... Thirteen auxiliary ingredients, nine hundred changes in fire temperature, and after the vessel is completed, the mind and will are in perfect harmony, as easy as using one's own arm and fingers."

"The path of Qi cultivation uses a breath of primordial Qi as fuel, essence and blood as a catalyst, supplemented by spiritual materials, and is refined day and night. It is a long and arduous process, but the foundation is solid..."

The master's handwriting was vigorous and the words were straightforward. Chen Qing's gaze fell on the four words "essence and blood as the guide" and he began to ponder.

"Furnace refining seeks speed, while qi refining seeks stability. The key lies in this blood refining technique..."

He pondered for a moment, then pointed his fingers like a sword, a wisp of harmonious energy wrapped around the essence of blood from his fingertips, and tapped it onto the iron ruler on the table.

"Fuck!"

A flash of blood, the iron ruler trembled violently, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its body, and it shattered with a "crack".

“Blood refining is dangerous; the slightest mistake can lead to the destruction of the artifact and backlash. The Grandmaster’s notes are vague, so he must have learned from his mistakes.” He brushed away the broken iron and pondered, “Furnace refining requires a cauldron and fire, and it’s not something that can be done overnight. Qi refining is more reliable, but it’s as slow as a tortoise crawling. The sect’s inheritance ultimately lacks core technology! Bai Shaoyou is knowledgeable and has a solid foundation; we should go and pay him a visit.”

Without hesitation, he pushed open the door and went out as dawn broke.

"Squeak!"

The golden monkey leaped down from the old pine tree, offering a few dew-covered wild fruits as if presenting a treasure, its eyes even more intelligent than yesterday.

Chen Qing smiled, took one, and patted its head: "Guard the mountain gate well."

The little monkey bowed respectfully and watched him dart down the mountain path.

Xiaoyingzhou Island was teeming with people.

Chen Qing walked swiftly, heading straight for the Five Qi Pavilion.

Under the eaves of the teahouse, the old man in gray trembled violently in his teacup. His cloudy old eyes swept over the hurried figure, his gaze filled with surprise and doubt: "His bones and muscles gleam like jade, his aura perfectly round and flawless... He has made progress again? This is far too astonishing!"

Halfway through his journey, Chen Qing suddenly spotted a roadside bookstall where the lean stall owner was enthusiastically hawking several ancient books made of animal hides.

He paused, and Xu Qingfeng's words, "The Heavenly Empress Formation originates from the Buddhist method of calamity substitution," suddenly came to mind. So he turned and stepped forward.

"Oh! Fellow Daoist! You've arrived!" The lean stall owner, with sharp eyes, immediately abandoned the others and greeted them with a beaming smile, "I'm here..."

"Do you still have that Buddhist secret manual from last time?" Chen Qing interrupted him.

The stall owner's smile froze, and he slapped his thigh in frustration: "Hey! You're too late! A wandering monk just bought it! That bald monk is so stingy, he managed to haggle down three pieces of spiritual marrow to two and a half!"

Chen Qing frowned slightly: "Where did that monk go?"

"Look, it's standing right in front of 'Wanfuxuan'!" The stall owner pointed casually and then magically produced a thin booklet. "Fellow Daoist, don't be impatient! Buddhist scriptures are obscure, you might not understand them even if you buy them! Take a look at this 'Yunlu Old Tales,' it talks about the ancient Yunlu Sect!"

Chen Qing glanced at the book and saw that the pages of "Yunlu Old News" were yellowed and the edges were worn, giving it an antique feel. However, he had no intention of getting involved and said that they would talk later. He then darted towards Wanfu Pavilion.

Sure enough, a monk was standing in front of the talisman shop.

His monk's robes were worn, his hair was white from washing, and his body was thin and frail, except for his gentle and peaceful eyes.

He was looking down at the book "The Secret Records of the Monks" in his hand, his expression focused.

Chen Qinggang approached, but had not yet spoken.

The monk seemed to sense something and slowly raised his head.

Eyes facing each other.

A golden glint flashed in the monk's eyes, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Amitabha! Benefactor...you have a karmic connection with Buddha!"
