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

Chapter 95 The Ancestral Master's Last Instructions [Second Update]

"This is……"

Chen Qing's gaze narrowed slightly, and a clear sense of closeness and joy emanating from the lotus platform wafted over, causing him to smile as well.

Though the physical body has changed, the divine source remains the same!
Master Mingxin held his breath, waiting for the lotus heart flower to bloom and for a heart talisman to condense. Whoever obtains this talisman can directly enter the inner sect!
"Zheng——"

The lotus platform suddenly hummed and emitted a bright blue light, which turned into a condensed stream of light, like a weary bird returning to its nest, and landed in Chen Qing's outstretched palm!
The radiance faded, and the warm, slightly cool lotus platform lay quietly in Chen Qing's palm. Their hearts were connected, and there was no longer any barrier between them!

"This?!" Daoist Mingxin's eyes widened in shock, and he exclaimed in astonishment!

Boom!

The entire main hall of Hidden Star Peak trembled violently! It was as if a pillar supporting the sky had been suddenly ripped away!
"Certainly!"

A calm voice came from behind!

In an instant, the wind stopped, the dust settled, and the palace seemed to be held up by an invisible giant hand, and everything returned to deathly silence!
A gentle breeze swept by, stirring up Chen Qing and the still-shaken Ming Xin. In the shifting light and shadow, the two found themselves in front of the bamboo hut of Qingyuan Daoist.

The Taoist Master Mingxin opened his mouth as if to speak.

“I know everything.” Qingyuan Daoist’s gaze fell on Chen Qing’s palm. “So that’s how it is. It’s all preordained! It’s how it should be!” Then, he asked Chen Qing in detail about his name and place of origin.

Chen Qing, using the name "Li Qing," briefly described his background in the story.

Qingyuan did some quick calculations with his fingers, then smiled and nodded: "Very good."

He didn't finish his sentence.

"Shh!"

A shimmering, water-like phantom materialized beside the hut, transforming into a woman in palace attire, her features exquisite yet filled with astonishment: "Senior brother! This lotus platform..."

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Three more beams of light pierced through the air and crashed to the ground!
The old man on the left was wearing a Taoist robe with black ice patterns. His hair and beard were all white, and he exuded a chilling aura. His eyes were fixed on the green lotus!

The burly man in the center, dressed in a fiery red robe, exuded a powerful aura like a furnace, his thick eyebrows furrowed!

The scholar on the right, dressed in a blue robe, held a jade ruler in his hand, his gentle gaze revealing an undisguised shock and curiosity!
The auras of all three were as deep and profound as the sea!
The burly man in red robes looked at the lotus platform, then at Chen Qing, and said, "Could this thing have recognized its master?"

Upon hearing this, the woman in palace attire and the old man from Xuanbing looked even more doubtful, hesitant to speak.

Master Qingyuan spoke slowly, suppressing all the agitation: "The lotus platform has been dormant for thousands of years. Today's unusual movement is due to one person. According to the teachings of the patriarchs of all generations, the one who obtains the lotus platform and recognizes its master shall be the successor of the patriarch of the restoration, and shall hold an equal position..."

"Junior brother!" Elder Xuanbing abruptly interrupted, his icy aura spreading outwards. "Such a sudden promotion is bound to draw criticism. Besides, this young man has just entered the sect, his background is still unclear, how can he win over the masses?!"

“Senior Brother Qingyuan,” the scholar in blue robes also spoke up, “this fellow Daoist has just arrived and suddenly stands above all the other sects. Not only will this cause unrest among the people, but it may also bring disaster upon himself!”

The woman in palace attire said, "Such an important matter, even if a decision needs to be made, should be discussed after our senior uncles wake up!"

The atmosphere was stagnant.

Several gazes, filled with scrutiny, doubt, and even subtle dissatisfaction, all fell upon Chen Qing.

With a sigh, Chen Qing stepped forward and lifted the warm, smooth lotus in his palm: "The lotus platform recognizing its master may be a matter of chance. To become arrogant because of something is not what I seek. Besides, I came to the mountain gate to seek the Dao, not for a position of honor."

"good!"

The sharpness in everyone's eyes immediately softened considerably.

The scholar in the blue robe nodded and said, "Young friend, you understand."

Qingyuan Daoist's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Chen Qing, and he said, "Since that's the case, then so be it. From this day forward, you will be a disciple of my Hidden Star Sect, and you will be treated as an equal to us. For now, you will be listed as a true disciple. We can discuss your position of honor later when your cultivation improves and you achieve merit. As for your lineage, we will not decide on it for now. If you wish to cultivate, we will provide you with cultivation methods."

The woman in palace attire frowned slightly, still harboring concerns. However, seeing Qingyuan's resolute attitude, the other three did not object vehemently any further. They finally sighed softly and remained silent.

"Excellent!" the burly man in red robes exclaimed, acknowledging the compliment.

Just now, the idea of ​​becoming their ancestor was absolutely unbearable, but now that I've taken a step back and become their junior brother, it's much more lenient and easier to accept.

Qingyuan then turned to Chen Qing: "Junior Brother, you have just arrived and have been traveling for days, so your energy is fluctuating. You should focus on consolidating your foundation. The foundation of the path lies in one's own cultivation. Clarify your mind!"

The Taoist Mingxin, who was standing to the side, was startled and quickly bowed, saying, "Disciple is here!"

"Take your martial uncle to Hidden Void Peak. The peak has a bamboo hut, a spiritual spring, and a quiet room. The spiritual energy is decent, and it is secluded and undisturbed. From now on, this peak will be your martial uncle's place of quiet cultivation," Qingyuan Daoist instructed calmly.

"Master...Master Uncle?" Daoist Mingxin's throat bobbed, his gaze towards Chen Qing was complex and difficult to describe. He took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and said respectfully, "Yes! Master Uncle, please follow me."

Chen Qing nodded slightly to Qingyuan and the elders, said no more, and followed Mingxin as he transformed into a beam of light, heading into the depths of the mountain peaks.

Once the clear light had completely disappeared into the horizon, the air that had been frozen in front of the bamboo hut seemed to begin to flow again.

The scholar in the blue robe frowned and spoke first: "Senior brother, being of the same generation is already an exception! He has just entered the sect, his background is unclear, and his character is yet to be revealed. Important places such as the Scripture Pavilion, especially the four Golden Elixir True Explanations which are the foundation of the sect, should not be opened lightly."

“The lotus platform’s recognition of its master is too suspicious. It’s better to be careful and observe for a while before making a decision,” Elder Xuanbing interjected.

The woman in palace attire parted her lips slightly, as if about to echo his sentiment.

"Whoosh-"

Several communication talismans flew in, spun in the air, and transmitted a voice: "Reporting to the Sect Master and Elders! Shouyangzi, the Vice Sect Master of the Sun Wheel Sect, has led more than ten elite disciples to block the gate archway! They claim that our sect's disciples have injured their true teachings and insulted their prestige! We order the immediate handover of the culprits for severe punishment! Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" The burly man in the red robe bristled with anger, a red copper gourd at his waist humming and vibrating. "Sunwheel Island was nothing but a desolate island in the past. If it weren't for the support of our sect, how could it be what it is today? Seeing that our sect is declining, they've clung to the Taiyi Dao Palace and become its lackeys! They even dare to come knocking on our door, trying to take advantage of our ancestors?! I think we should teach them a lesson!"

The old man Xuanbing calculated with his fingers, looked at Qingyuan, and said, "Junior brother! The Taiyi Dao Palace suffered a crushing defeat, and the Rilun Sect arrived right afterward! There must be a mastermind behind this!"

The scholar in the blue robe shook his head and sighed: "Sun Wheel Island is so close, separated only by a narrow strip of water. It is a neighboring sect. If war breaks out, it will be a protracted and difficult struggle! Our sect urgently needs to recuperate and maintain stability. If we resort to violence, it will play right into the hands of the other sects! It would be better to endure for now and wait for a later time..." "Alright."

The voice of Qingyuan Daoren rang out, silencing all the arguments.

"Now that I am awake, how can I allow petty scoundrels to block my door and make noise?"

Before he finished speaking, he casually flicked his wide sleeves towards the mountain gate.

Silent and still, without light or brilliance.

At the mountain gate, Shouyangzi, who was shouting, suddenly felt a chill. The moment his fierce qi erupted, it was shattered by a torrential force!
"what!"

He only had time to let out a short cry of surprise before he and his disciples behind him were lifted off the ground like withered leaves and grass in a gale!
A dozen or so figures transformed into streaks of light, instantly being tossed across thousands of mountains and valleys, disappearing into the horizon.

Inside the bamboo hut, Qingyuan Daoist slowly lowered his sleeves.

"Alright, it's quiet now."

Only the scholar in the blue robe remained worried, knowing that this was probably just the beginning.

the other side.

"Uncle-Master, this way."

Daoist Mingxin led Chen Qing on a cloud-borne journey, passing over several desolate peaks with dim spiritual light, and landing on a solitary and secluded mountain peak.

This peak is not high, but it is beautiful and has a unique charm. Halfway up the mountain, a few simple bamboo houses are built along the mountain spring, with the sound of the spring flowing.

"It's a good place for quiet contemplation," Chen Qing nodded in agreement.

"Uncle-Master, this is Hidden Void Peak." Daoist Mingxin pointed to the scenery on the mountain. "The bamboo hut, the spirit-guiding array eye, and the meditation room on the peak have all been prepared, and the spiritual energy is quite good. Look..."

"Very good, thank you for your trouble." Chen Qing nodded, his gaze sweeping over the serene mountain scenery, quite satisfied with the newly acquired training ground.

At this moment, his mind was still mostly on the green lotus in his palm. This object was warm and slightly cool, connected to his mind, and the feeling between them was becoming increasingly intimate.

"In that case, this disciple will take his leave. Please feel free to send a message if you have any instructions, Uncle-Master." Seeing this, Daoist Mingxin wisely took his leave.

After everyone left, Chen Qing walked around and saw that the peaks were beautiful and spiritual, with a spiritual vein hidden in the mountains. The spiritual eye was located inside the dwelling, surrounded by spiritual energy, which was more than a hundred times stronger than Mingxia Mountain.

"It is indeed a sacred place for immortals, sufficient to support the cultivation of spirits. Very good."

He was delighted and sat cross-legged on a futon in the hut, recalling the various disputes that had just occurred, but found them tedious.

"Now that you've entered this gate, you should prioritize cultivation. Everything else is illusory. If this attracts someone to provoke you, it will be truly uninteresting. When you come back next time you understand your mind, you should ask how to open the restrictions in this mountain so that you can keep all these things out and finally have peace and quiet."

With his mind made up, he flipped his hand and took out the blue lotus platform.

The lotus petals are warm and moist, with a bright yellow sheen that flows around them, conveying a familiar yet grand meaning.

Chen Qing reached out and brushed the lotus petals, feeling a surge of emotion. He murmured, "Old friend, we are reunited. I will need your help on my journey ahead."

The lotus platform trembled slightly, as if in response.

Now that the lotus platform had been returned, Chen Qing couldn't help but think of another magical treasure. However, being a newcomer, he didn't want to ask about it directly, so he put the thought aside for now, thinking there would be plenty of time in the future.

However, he also noticed that the newly added bright yellow luster on the lotus platform was quite similar to Yu Xuan's protective cauldron. After thinking about many details, he began to speculate, but Chen Qing was as calm as a mountain and did not rush to investigate.

"Although there were some twists and turns on this trip, all the goals have been achieved. It's just that the confrontation in front of the mountain gate was suppressed by Daoist Qingyuan, so there was no chance to try out the new techniques."

Upon realizing this, he immediately focused his mind inward and looked inward at his dantian.

Beside the external alchemy ...

This wheel was formed by condensing the decaying power of the outer elixir, referencing the method of the "Golden Wheel of Merit". It contained terrifying killing and corrosive power, and he originally intended to use it to deal with possible powerful enemies in the Golden Core stage, but he did not have to use it.

"Now that it has been incorporated into the sect, it is a good time to study it carefully. Perhaps it can be integrated with the essence of Qi talismans to further enhance its power."

He devoted himself to comprehending the profound mysteries of the Dharma Wheel, and the meaning of Nirvana flowed and resonated with the external alchemy, causing a deeper transformation to subtly emerge.

Before we knew it, the east had turned white.

Chen Qing slowly came back to his senses and glanced at the sky outside the window: "It's time to wake up from the dream again."

At this time...

"How is Uncle Master? Your disciple Mingxin has come on your orders." Daoist Mingxin was already standing outside the hut, his expression no longer showing the shock of yesterday.

Chen Qing finished his practice and stood up: "What is it?"

“Master said that since Uncle-Master has just entered the sect, his foundation is profound, but his path is vast, and he may need to study other methods. He specially sent me here to ask if Uncle-Master would like to consult the Yin Spirit Techniques stored in the sect? If so, I can bring you a copy.” Mingxin’s words carried a hint of envy.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing was also moved: "Senior Brother Qingyuan trusts me so much?"

This is truly unexpected!
The Yin Shen Technique is also one of the core treasures of the sect. Even true disciples rarely learn it easily. I am a newcomer and my identity and background have not yet been verified. Yet Qingyuan has opened the door to me so readily.

Mingxin solemnly replied, "Master said: 'The Dao exists between heaven and earth, not the private domain of one family or clan. Junior Brother, to receive the recognition of the Ancestral Master's legacy is an immense blessing. Treating it with sincerity is the true spirit of our sect.'"

"Truly impressive!" Chen Qing felt genuine admiration for Senior Brother Qingyuan's magnanimity and spirit. "Only someone like him is worthy of leading the Hidden Star Sect! In that case, I won't stand on ceremony. Please bring me the first three realms of the 'Great Dao of Primordial Qi' so I can study them!"

He needs to prepare for the path of Yin Spirit in his true form, and this Great Dao of Primordial Qi is undoubtedly an excellent reference path.

　The third update won't be until after midnight...
