The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky
Chapter 138 Construction, Journey, Luo's Arrival
Chapter 138 Construction, Journey, Luo's Arrival
With several miles to go, General Crab stopped.
The dark clouds stopped, and Qin Hao and Song Fugui could naturally see them clearly.
Above the dark clouds, a middle-aged man stood on the cloud.
This person has already fully transformed into human form. It seems that their cultivation technique is quite good, and their level of cultivation is also quite high.
"It's already close to the third realm, the peak of the second realm."
From all of this, it's clear that he's a member of a powerful force.
Wild demons wouldn't possess such high intelligence.
Moreover, judging from his demonic power, this person cultivates using traditional demonic methods, resulting in pure demonic power.
It turns out they didn't take the dragon transformation route?
Thinking of Qin Hao's so-called great-grandfather in the Dragon Palace of Falling Star Lake, that old dragon king seemed to have followed the path of an innate god or demon.
This dragon did not follow a pure dragon cultivation path, nor did it revert to its ancestral form.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the aquatic creatures of Luoxing Lake Dragon Palace cultivate this pure demonic path.
Just like the Dragon Palace in Pengze Lake, most of them follow the route of dragon transformation.
This is because of Ao Hui.
Ao Hui could not leave, and the dragon's breath from his entire body scattered across Pengze Lake.
Many aquatic creatures have thus been influenced by Ao Hui's aura and embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
Therefore, the number of people choosing to transform into dragons will be relatively large.
Because they can absorb the dragon's breath from Ao Hui's innate dragon vein, they progress much faster on this path.
This is why, despite Pengze Lake being closed, two powerful figures from the fourth realm still emerged.
The middle-aged man stood on the cloud and looked at Qin Hao, recognizing the purpose of his visit at a glance.
Immediately, he reached into his sleeve and took out a golden invitation card, saying, "I am an official of the Foreign Affairs Palace of the Falling Star Lake Dragon Palace. This is an invitation card from my Falling Star Lake Dragon Palace."
Three months later, a dragon-washing ceremony was held at the Dragon Palace of Falling Star Lake.
We cordially request the Dragon King of Pengze Lake to grace us with his presence at that time.
As he spoke, he held up the invitation with both hands and bowed slightly.
Qin Hao nodded, and Song Fugui said, "Please invite the envoy forward."
Qin Hao, as the Dragon King of Pengze Lake, is not as high-ranking as the Dragon King of Luoxing Lake, and is also a junior.
There's no need for the Dragon King of Falling Star Lake to personally deliver it.
However, sending a steward who is close to the second realm is somewhat impolite.
Qin Hao will not make things difficult for the other party, but he will definitely not personally go forward to accept the invitation.
Therefore, Song Fugui accepted it on behalf of Song Fugui, which can be considered a solution.
As the dark clouds descended, a steward approached with an invitation in hand. Qin Hao stared straight ahead, not uttering a single word throughout.
When the deacon got closer, he frowned.
This person didn't come to pick me up in person?
In Fuyu County, the Dragon Palace of Luoxing Lake holds an extremely high status.
Even the Chiang, Soong, Yuan and Jiang families wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.
It is rumored that the Falling Star Dragon King has already advanced to the Divine Phase Realm, and is only one step away from the Blessed Land Realm, the last realm before the Innate God-Demon Immortal Realm.
The innate divine and demonic arts are not something that just anyone can cultivate.
Their backgrounds and social standing are extremely demanding.
Qin Hao, who was born into the human race, had no way to embark on this path before.
Unless he can obtain extremely rare and precious resources, he can barely make it across at any cost.
"However, my seven-colored dragon avatar could consider embarking on the path of an innate god or demon."
Qin Hao remained silent throughout the entire process, only nodding slightly when Song Fugui accepted the invitation.
Song Fugui said, "Please inform the Falling Star Dragon King that I, the Dragon King of Pengze Lake, will definitely be there in person."
you!
The envoy was somewhat angry and looked at Qin Hao with his eyes.
In his view, as an envoy of Falling Star Lake, the other party was just a minor cultivator in the second realm, yet he dared to look down on him so much?
"Humph."
A cold snort came, and the steward felt as if a thunderclap had struck his ears.
Then, a cold sweat broke out.
This is?
His eyes widened in shock. Was this a powerful figure from the fourth realm?
Or are they of the same race?
The Crab General's overwhelming aura silenced the steward, who bowed deeply and said, "I was presumptuous; I beg the Dragon King's forgiveness."
A minor cultivator in the second realm and a second-realm dragon king in the fourth realm standing behind him—these are two completely different scenes.
Even if he were the most daring person, he wouldn't dare to bully others like this.
Even if he suffers a loss, Luoxing Lake will not stand up for him when he goes back.
Since they were both from the dragon race, he could also sense the faint dragon bloodline in Qin Hao.
There was even a dragon's breath, which was extremely noble.
At this moment, he felt somewhat annoyed, realizing he shouldn't have been so reckless.
That one move was enough to offend the other party.
The Dragon Palace of Pengze Lake actually dispatched a fourth-realm expert as the guard of this newly crowned Dragon King.
That's really extravagant.
Even the dragon princes and princesses of Falling Star Lake don't have such a grand entourage when they travel.
Of course, the dragon princes and princesses of Falling Star Lake cannot compare to a Dragon King.
Although Qin Hao is only at the second realm, his status is different.
After a respectful bow, Qin Hao nodded slightly and said, "Alright, get up."
After a pause, Qin Hao said, "It's not easy for the steward to come all this way. Reward him with wealth and honor."
When these messengers come out on business and deliver invitations, the inviters will be given a reward out of respect for the Dragon Palace of Falling Star Lake.
Although Qin Hao's cultivation level was inferior to his opponent's, Qin Hao's identity was that of the Dragon King.
The word "reward" was used very smoothly.
Song Fugui nodded. When he came out, Qin Hao had given him quite a few things.
Song Fugui acts as the foreign affairs elder in their line of work, and he's responsible for tasks like giving tips.
Seeing Qin Hao's expression, Song Fugui took out a spirit pearl and shot it out.
The deacon's eyes lit up, and he reached out and accepted it.
Then, he bowed again and said, "Thank you for the Dragon King's gift."
This time, I felt much more willing to express my gratitude.
This spirit pearl was produced by a spirit shell raised in the Dragon Palace of Pengze Lake.
This one alone is worth hundreds of high-grade spirit stones.
This is the universal equivalent for aquariums.
It can be used for alchemy, weapon crafting, and cultivation.
Some female cultivators can even grind it into powder and make it into cosmetics, with extremely good results.
Pengze Lake Dragon Palace has accumulated immense wealth over tens of thousands of years.
As the Dragon King, Qin Hao could naturally order people around at will.
Therefore, they didn't even blink at the sight of hundreds of high-grade spirit stones.
If this were in the Anyuan Earl's mansion, the Qin family would never dare to squander their wealth like this.
The deacon's eyes darted around, and he seemed about to speak.
General Crab's imposing aura surged, and the steward bowed: "Then, Dragon King, this little crab will return to Falling Star Lake first."
We eagerly await the Dragon King's arrival.
Watching the steward leave, Song Fugui chuckled and said, "Little Crab?"
When this person first came, he had such an arrogant attitude; it's hard to imagine that he would become so humble later.
General Crab glanced back at Song Fugui, which made Song Fugui break out in a cold sweat.
Qin Hao laughed heartily: "Alright, let's leave it at that."
Three months later, I attended the banquet on time.
Before that, our construction cannot stop.
Or rather, having reached this point, he had already completed half of the task he had undertaken.
Emperor Hengming didn't actually need him to build up a branch of the Six Doors here, like a nail being driven into the ground.
Qin Hao is someone who attracts attention.
At this moment, in the Great Xia Imperial Palace.
The deer messenger bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, Qin Hao, the grandson of the Earl of Anyuan and the newly appointed Dragon King of Pengze Lake, has arrived in Fuyu County."
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a tuft of white hair.
"Oh?"
Emperor Hengming stroked a spirit fox in his hand and asked, "Oh? What have you done?"
In fact, there was no need for the messenger to report; Emperor Hengming already had all this information on his desk.
Sometimes, though, he's just too lazy to look at it.
The deer messenger said, "The Dragon King of Pengze Lake has a flying boat of the treasure level."
Upon entering Buyeo County, they were ambushed by multiple forces.
Among those who made the move were assassins from Renyi Tower, Gu masters from the Ten Thousand Mountains, and a high-ranking wizard or shaman. Several other forces were also secretly watching, each contributing to varying degrees, including the Jiang, Song, Yuan, and Jiang families.
Emperor Hengming continued working with his hands, but when he looked up, he smiled and said, "Oh? There's also a magical flying boat? It seems that Pengze Lake is quite prosperous."
As for the four families of Fuyu Commandery, Emperor Hengming himself did not take them seriously.
If it weren't for the complicated location and the many issues involved...
Four companies alone can be wiped out with the flick of the wrist.
The deer messenger kept his eyes straight ahead and said nothing more.
Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't look at what you shouldn't look at.
After a long pause, Emperor Hengming said, "Then let's put the decree down."
The deer messenger was taken aback.
Originally, Qin Hao's mission would have ended once he arrived in Fuyu County.
Subsequent actions, regardless of the extent, are permissible.
But once this decree is issued, Qin Hao will once again be elevated to a high position and bound to a boat.
And An Yuanbo probably never imagined that this day would come.
"I heard that a distinguished guest recently visited the Baizhenlou restaurant in the Anyuan family?"
The deer messenger was startled; although this emperor sat upright in his high palace, he seemed to never leave his residence.
But there are very few things in this world that can be hidden from him.
But what he didn't know was that Emperor Hengming was also lamenting to himself, "In the end, I still misjudged him. That day, he actually managed to snag a bargain in the outer treasury of the imperial storehouse."
Undoubtedly, the flying ship that the Deer Envoy mentioned was a treasure-level artifact.
It should be the flying boat that Qin Hao retrieved from the treasure vault.
At that time, however, it was nothing more than a second-rate magic weapon, merely a magical artifact.
Now it has even surpassed the status of a spiritual artifact and become a treasure artifact.
"It seems that this Earl of Jingning is also in extraordinary circumstances. Perhaps he can also rise to prominence and become an immortal one day, and he might be a fellow Daoist."
If anyone were to hear Emperor Hengming's words here, they would be extremely shocked and puzzled.
The Earl of Jingning was clearly referring to Qin Hao, but Qin Hao was just a commoner who had just joined the Six Doors and was only a bronze-badge constable.
When did he become the Earl of Jingning?
As for his fate, it would not arouse any doubt.
Every powerful cultivator who has achieved such a feat has encountered numerous extraordinary events.
Emperor Hengming also had his own extraordinary encounters.
Even if it's a mere treasure, Emperor Hengming has several Dao artifacts.
Clearly, the flying boat was of good quality and was a component of some high-grade magic weapon.
But even if it's placed in the treasure vault, it's just a magical artifact, not a high-class item.
Since Qin Hao has this opportunity, Emperor Hengming will not stop him.
Instead, they would take advantage of the situation and use Qin Hao's good fortune to accomplish something.
Judging from Emperor Hengming's words, he seems to have already regarded Qin Hao as a fellow Daoist.
He also harbored ambitions of ascension to higher realms.
They even regarded Qin Hao as a companion who could achieve immortality.
Fuyu County, Jiang family.
"What? You're saying he landed in Qinghe Bay? And plans to build his base there?"
The head of the Jiang family frowned.
This place isn't very good, or rather, it basically has no resources.
So not many people are willing to go there.
Because they were so close to the lake and the situation in the lake was so complicated, everyone wanted to stay as far away as possible.
However, this also left a huge void in Buyeo County. The other party came from afar, but didn't bring many people, and had no local businesses.
Choosing that place was extremely appropriate.
It can defend and move.
"I underestimated this junior a bit."
Qin Hao is not old; he is only sixteen years old this year and has only recently entered the entertainment industry.
But I've heard that he's already reached the second realm of cultivation, making him a genius among geniuses.
However, everyone had assumed that the other side would soon suffer a crushing defeat.
However, when they arrived in Yuzhang County, the other party obtained two spiritual swords, Longquan and Tai'a, both of which were Dao artifacts.
He then obtained the position of Dragon King in the Dragon Palace.
This is something that no one in Buyeo County wants to see right now.
The other party gained an identity and accumulated good fortune.
In addition, he was a genius, and the Qin family originally did not have enough resources.
The existence of Pengze Lake has already made up for this.
Given time, he may become another dragon crossing the river.
Therefore, with the help of the witch's bone, all parties decided to inflict a heavy blow.
Ideally, it should be killed.
Unfortunately, the previous arrangements did not have the desired effect.
"The curse?"
"It doesn't seem to be over yet."
"Ah."
Forget it.
The Dragon Cleansing Ceremony at Falling Star Lake is about to begin, and there will be great opportunities at this ceremony.
There are also some other things, many and very complicated.
"Besides, that fourth-realm old crab isn't so easy to deal with. Let Wu Gu have a headache."
A fourth-realm expert is not so easy to deal with.
To deal with Qin Hao, it's not impossible to offend someone at the fourth realm.
But if only the Chiang family intervenes, it certainly won't be enough.
If that old crab then chases after the Jiang family, they'll suffer a huge loss.
This is the drawback of cooperation among multiple forces.
They cannot cooperate sincerely.
Everyone is afraid of putting in more effort than others but receiving less benefit.
However, this is also Qin Hao's opportunity.
If these parties can truly cooperate sincerely, and several fourth-realm experts arrive, he might not necessarily be able to leave alive.
In the end, it seems only Ao Hui's intervention will allow them to escape.
Similar situations have occurred at several other companies.
Qin Hao was unaware of this matter, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.
Outside, geomancers are leading five-colored warriors in construction work.
Level the land and plan the construction.
The geomancers were surprised to find that these five-colored warriors were indeed very powerful.
"This five-colored warrior is not only strong, but also seems to know a lot about geomancy skills."
Moreover, they have a strong learning ability; often, they can learn something simply by being described.
Although the Five-Colored Warriors are summoned by talismans, they belong to the category of Taoist soldiers.
However, its essence seems to be related to the cultivators who refine the Five-Colored Warrior Talisman.
The five-colored warrior is as powerful as the cultivator who created the five-colored warrior talisman.
"Judging from the current situation, we should be able to get the basics done in about a week. Next is setting up the formation, but there's nothing we can do about that."
In fact, if only this palace were to be built, it would take less than a week.
These geomancers were puzzled as to why Qin Hao was so certain that he would consider the farmers from the very beginning.
"Do you think anyone would want to live in a place like this?"
The existence of the Kanli evil spirits is only found in this Kanli grass.
What plants can survive there?
Farmers come here to live, but they can't grow the special rice. How will they survive?
And it's not just about survival; they also need to consider their children's situation.
Besides survival, we also need a future.
If a child can embark on the path of enlightenment, then there is hope for the future.
Otherwise, what future is there if we are farmers for generations?
"Alright, these things have nothing to do with us."
They were all employees of Futong Money Shop and received salaries from Song Fugui's family.
Nowadays, there is extra overtime pay for working on overseas assignments.
That's it.
As for what the employer is going to do, they don't think much about it.
Whether it works or not, they've done all the work, so they can get paid.
As for the work being done but not being used here?
That's their employer's business, and it's something that Fortis Bank should consider.
What does this have to do with those who do the work?
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
The palace has been completed.
During this time, many demons attacked, but with Vajra Sword and others present, they were all repelled.
Meanwhile, other major powers, including the four major families, seem to have all fallen silent.
Qin Hao didn't care. Now that the palace was completed, the next step was to set up the formation.
Qin Hao didn't say much; some of his followers knew formations.
With the addition of a group of array masters transferred from Futong Money Shop, there's enough space to set up the array.
Qin Hao only needs to follow the steps of his cultivation.
"This life contract is quite good; it can even absorb the free-floating life force of this Kanli grass."
In addition to the Herb Garden, there's the World Ring, the Great Tree of Life, and the wandering life force of the Tree of Life.
Over the past few days, he has cultivated this life-binding secret technique to a certain level.
A faint seal appeared in my mind.
This is the foundation of this secret technique; if one cultivates it to its ultimate level in the future, one can even cultivate a physical form.
However, this thing dared not approach the center.
In the center of Qin Hao's sea of consciousness, there were still only the Primordial Mirror and the Golden Thread Treasure.
Of course, the Star-Guiding Boat was quite close to the Primordial Mirror.
After all, this thing, to put it bluntly, is actually one with the Primordial Mirror.
This is a part of the same treasure.
At this moment, the tiny vortex had grown slightly larger.
If we were to describe the size of that vortex before, it wouldn't even be big enough to be seen with the naked eye; it was barely visible.
Now, they are already the size of a grain of rice.
At this moment, Qin Hao's consciousness shifted, and he returned to the Swallowed Star World, transforming into Chen Yang.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Sect Master, Lord Luo of the Time Realm has arrived. He wishes to speak with you personally."
Qin Hao quickly calculated that this time wouldn't be too long.
He was away from here for about ten days, and during that time it took him about half a day to get back.
All in all, it takes about a day.
The Lord of Time, Luo, had already arrived.
Did they receive the news beforehand and arrive without staying too long?
It seems that the benefits I offered were exactly what the other person wanted.
I thought it would take a little longer, but I took the opportunity to meet with my senior classmates, which gave me some reassurance.
But things are alright now, even though I haven't received any support from my senior brothers and sisters yet.
But the fact that Lord Luo of the Time Realm is in such a hurry means that he has a great hope for breaking through.
As long as you can give someone hope, they will be willing to act as your offering.
They would even be willing to follow themselves.
But you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to live one day at a time.
What needs to be said can wait until later.
Qin Hao nodded, then took out a tube of blue ointment and handed it to Isadora: "This is the latest potion, called Kanli Body Refining Ointment."
Currently, it can enhance physical strength at the stellar and cosmic levels.
"Take it out and try it out first, find some stellar-level and cosmic-level martial artists to promote it."
Isadora was taken aback. How long had it been?
The Pavilion Master actually produced a new potion.
And this potion is actually effective even against cosmic-level targets?
This is so dreamy!
Isadora didn't think Qin Hao would lie; there was no need for him to.
Perhaps this existed before.
It's just that it wasn't easy to take it out before.
Now that Qin Hao has successfully become the disciple of the Illusionary Butterfly King, he has someone to rely on and a powerful background.
This kind of thing can be taken out now.
"Okay, I'll take it."
"Okay, go ahead. Also, there's a batch of high-level magic treasures in the warehouse; you can take them all, and it's best to sell them. I need money for the four-star auction a year from now."
"it is good."
"Go, bring Luo in."
Although he was only at the Stellar level, Luo Nai was a peak Realm Lord.
But he was a disciple of the Illusionary Butterfly King, and his status was extraordinary.
In addition, since he is Luo's future boss, he can provide Luo with many things he needs.
There's no need to be so eager.
Maintaining a certain distance is also for the purpose of better discussing the future.
Not long after, a dignified middle-aged man entered and immediately noticed a young man sitting upright in his seat.
How to describe it?
With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, he exuded unparalleled heroic spirit.
All the words used to describe teenagers of this age can be used to describe him.
"The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Crafts Pavilion?"
Qin Hao nodded and gestured, "Please sit down. I'm brewing tea. Would you like a cup?"
As they were talking, Qin Hao had already served the teacup.
Luo took it, brought it over, and took a sniff. His eyes lit up immediately: "Good tea."
Isn't this good tea?
This was made by Qin Hao using the finest tea leaves, which he personally washed and soaked in spiritual liquid, and then stir-fried in his alchemy furnace.
Tea of this quality is only affordable for cultivators at least at the third realm.
One cup costs tens of thousands of Qianwu coins.
Luo sat down, leaned closer, took a small sip, and felt a slight bitterness, which quickly turned into a sweet aftertaste.
"Good tea."
He couldn't bear to drink too much of this tea.
A cup of tea costing tens of thousands of Qianwu coins was something I wouldn't have wanted to drink before, because I would have used it to buy resources for cultivation.
And now?
With my time running out, I don't need to think too much. I have money on me, but I never thought of buying such expensive tea.
However, at that moment, Luo felt that his mental processes seemed to have become faster.
Moreover, it seems that understanding the laws has become easier.
Understanding the principles also becomes much easier.
"this?"
This effect is possible?
Indeed, it is said that there are some special products in the universe that have a good effect on enlightenment.
However, for a peak Realm Lord, especially someone like him who is just one step away from becoming an Immortal, this is a different story.
Especially for someone like him, who was just one step away from breaking through a seemingly insurmountable bottleneck, even that bottleneck seemed to loosen for a fleeting moment.
Unfortunately, the loosening disappeared in an instant, and then it became incredibly solid again.
Luo Du wondered if his feeling just now was an illusion.
"this?"
