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

Chapter 143 The Senior and Junior Sisters Meet, Flowing Fairy Dresses with Wide Sleeves, Clear Streams and Springs
"This inheritance is the treasure-refining inheritance of the Krampus Overlord, and it is divided into three stages."

"The first stage is the stage of memorization, differentiation, and selection."

There are twenty levels in total, and you are not allowed to quit midway.

Each joint is worth a total of 100 points; any joint scoring less than 80 points is disqualified.

Such strict rules, no quitting halfway through?
One hundred points in total?

"Then why didn't you mention my score?"

"The inheritor fully recognized all the materials and accurately described their characteristics. Moreover, no intelligent life assistance or technological means were used for memorization. The score is 100."

so close.

The technological means mentioned here, could they include artificial intelligence as well?

Come to think of it, there's no difference between intelligent life and artificial intelligence.

Perhaps the only difference lies in initiative and the questions one considers.

However, there isn't much difference in terms of memory.

How many points will be deducted for using artificial intelligence?

"20."

Such a cold voice, such a cold attitude.

Since artificial intelligence was used, 20 was deducted directly.
This is no different from simply killing someone directly.

After points are deducted, even the slightest mistake will reduce the score to below 80.

Isn't that wiping out the whole thing?
There are 20 levels left, and you are not allowed to quit midway.

If we don't have some tricks up our sleeves, wouldn't we just be waiting to die?

"Wait, three days?"

Hongmeng's heart tightened: "Could this be a trap?"

I memorized all 30,000 documents and so much information in half a day.

It seems like we've passed the test.

But there are still nineteen levels to go.

If you remain complacent for these three days and think you've passed the test, you'll become careless.

If even more materials are added to the remaining nineteen levels, it will be even more difficult to memorize them.

In addition, if the information from these 30,000 documents is still needed, then this will be a point deduction.

Even though the memory is quite clear now, it may not be so in three days.

Hongmeng doesn't need to consider the consequences of death, since he won't be killed anyway.

At worst, we can just revive.

However, the treasure-refining tradition in this place is very important.

The Heavenly Refining Valley in the Qianyang Realm also has a crafting tradition, but one can learn from others' strengths.

The treasure-refining inheritance of this Swallowing Star World is equally important.

More importantly, this legacy is that of a cosmic overlord.

This inheritance is certainly not just about inheritance; behind this inheritance, there must be some treasures.

The legacy of a cosmic overlord—the significance of that treasure is extraordinary.

Consider the legacy of the Venerable Timo; although he hasn't fully obtained it yet, it has already provided Qin Hao with considerable assistance.

Those powerful puppets alone have already helped Qin Hao a lot.

Although Qin Hao hasn't used the puppets in battle yet, he used them to protect himself and later gave them to Ao Hui.

This was in exchange for a complete Heavenly Book Stele.

Consider that Chaos City is nothing more than 52 Chaos Steles.

This means Qin Hao essentially got two percent directly.

"What are the second and third stages?"

Hongmeng asked again.

This time, however, although the other party answered, it was no different from not answering at all.

"Insufficient permissions, no response."

"Now that the first phase is over, can I exit?"

The intelligent life form remained silent for a while before answering, "Yes."

HarmonyOS paused for a moment.

It's unknown how many human geniuses will be killed by the treasure-refining inheritance of the Overlord of Campos this time.

Of course, it seems that people from other ethnic groups have also come in.

Then just kill him directly; Qin Hao wouldn't feel any pity.

"Let's take advantage of this time to memorize as much information as possible. You never know when we might need it."

……

Meanwhile, Qin Hao's spirit watched as Luo, the Lord of the Time Realm, received his inheritance inside a pagoda in his second life.

This is Qin Hao's enlightenment platform projected in his second life.

At this moment, what Qin Hao gave to the other party was only a Heavenly Book Stele with a relatively low degree of integrity, and it did not take into account the rules of time and light.

However, the Heavenly Book Stele and the Chaos Stele are different.

The Chaos Stele is a record left by the cosmic venerables, even the cosmic lords and true gods of the Swallowed Star world, containing their insights into the laws of cultivation.

That would be relatively purer.

However, in terms of breadth and depth, it cannot compare to the Heavenly Book Stele.

From another perspective, the description of the laws in the Heavenly Book Stele is also more pure.

After all, practitioners add their own interpretations to their understanding of the Dao.

The Heavenly Book Stele is entirely a product of the world, a natural creation.

"It looks like it's working well?"

Lord Luo of the Time Realm has never stopped comprehending the laws over the years.

Although I had some thoughts of giving up before, who doesn't want to turn things around?
"This first encounter with the Heavenly Book Stele has indeed been quite effective. Many doubts have been resolved, and its aura seems to be growing stronger. This body in my second life has also comprehended the laws. This second experience seems to be proving to be quite effective?"

Suddenly, a bracelet appeared inside the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror.

Qin Hao took it out with a puzzled look. It was a carrier of artificial intelligence, usually used to record some information.

Qin Hao connected it to Coulson's clone and quickly deciphered its contents.

The treasure-making legacy of the Krampus Overlord?

Qin Hao immediately searched for the name of the Campos Overlord in the virtual universe.

"Huh? There's quite a bit of information."

Since Coulson obtained the Heart of Evolution, he has regained his body.

You can restore your strength simply by consuming minerals.

Coulson has already given up somewhat.

He didn't stay by Qin Hao's side, but Coulson still split off several clones to follow Qin Hao.

It's capable of providing functions like information retrieval and answering questions.

The information transmitted from his past self, Hongmeng, has already explained his environment and experiences.

"The ruler of the Campos, a lone wolf in the universe, does not belong to any particular race or faction."

"Renowned for refining precious artifacts."

"He died during an exploration, and the intelligent life that followed him was released from his mastery before the death of the Krampus Overlord. Afterwards, he drifted around the universe, searching for a successor."

"The treasure-forging legacy of the Overlord of Campos changes its location with each era."

"It could be the territory of the human race, or it could be the insectoid race; any of the six top races could be involved."

"Of course, the territories of other races, such as the Starry Sky Beasts, are also possible."

“Before the inheritance begins, there will be messages flowing out.”

"Those who aspire to inherit the legacy can try to seize the token. Once the inheritance begins, the holder of the token will be teleported to a palace-like treasure belonging to the overlord of Kampus."

"According to the known information, the inheritance is divided into three stages. The first stage has twenty levels, which are nothing more than memorizing the information in the material, distinguishing the authenticity of the material and various unexpected situations, and selecting the appropriate material according to the requirements."

"When the first phase of twenty levels is completed, the participants can choose to leave. They can take with them the knowledge they have acquired and the materials they obtained during the process."

"But information for the next two phases is currently unavailable."

"No one has yet been able to obtain the inheritance."

"The one who presides over the inheritance is Venerable Anders of the Mechanical Race, who is at the Universe Venerable level. He never steps out of the palace. Even if the Lord of the Universe were to take action, he would not be able to take it down."

Qin Hao knew, of course, that if the Lord of the Universe was willing, he could find a way to take him down even if he was hiding inside the palace's treasures.

The reason it fails is simply that every time this tradition appears, it is targeted by various parties.

If one side wants to make a move, the other side will definitely try to sabotage it.

Therefore, after numerous clashes, the six dominant clans agreed to allow the inheritance to take place in various locations.

Whoever inherits the legacy must not be interfered with by any other party.

That's what they say, as long as someone gets the inheritance.

Afterwards, they will certainly be hunted down by other ethnic groups.

If within the human population, the Zerg have inherited this lineage.

Leaving would be extremely difficult.

Qin Hao wasn't worried; worrying wouldn't have made a difference.

To inherit the legacy, one must go through three stages. The first stage, consisting of twenty challenges, is still ongoing.

However, Qin Hao was determined to win.

He even speculated that after receiving the inheritance, Venerable Anders might also join.

They might not recognize a master, but they are very likely to worship him.

Qin Hao was unaware of the orders given by the Krampus Overlord before his death.

But thinking about it, that's about it.

It's simply a matter of finding a successor.

Then do your best to assist.

The mechanical race cannot disobey their master's orders, and generally will not.

But now that the bond of mastery has been broken, can Venerable Anders still complete his previous mission?
Judging from their consistent efforts to complete tasks over the years, it seems likely that they will.

Whether he can do it or not, Qin Hao is not worried.

The most feared thing in the world of Swallowed Star is soul enslavement. Once enslaved, even if one is killed, one cannot be resurrected.

But Qin Hao wasn't afraid.

His most important quality is the true spirit.

As long as the true spirit is safe, the soul will not be enslaved.

Even if the other party succeeded, it should be Qin Hao's initiative to show weakness.

At worst, you'll be killed and then resurrected.

Qin Hao thought to himself that his true form absolutely could not leave the location of the human race.

The souls of the past and future are both beyond enslavement.

The only loophole is actually in the present moment.

There is also the True Spirit as the last line of defense.

Qin Hao's true spirit was protected by the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror.

At least the immortals didn't see through even the slightest bit, so they should be fine.

Luo's comprehension is not yet over, and Qin Hao did not set a time limit for his first comprehension.

He can contemplate it for as long as he can.

Having accumulated many doubts, Luo's first enlightenment was very important.

Logically speaking, if you truly want to help him break through...

That complete Heavenly Book Stele is the most effective.

But Qin Hao cannot take it out.

A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.

It was incomplete; it had some effect, but not enough to make Luo develop inappropriate thoughts.

Anyway, since it's for Qin Hao to use as a sacrificial offering, it can be used at any time.

The only difference is the quality of the results.

With the Illusionary Butterfly King behind them, Luo can be intimidated.

"Yes, it's time to go to the party."

Qin Hao was reminded by Coulson's clone that it was time to attend the party.

The arrival time should be slightly earlier, since Qin Hao has the lowest cultivation level and should be the first to arrive.

Upon logging into the virtual universe, Qin Hao issued a legendary request.

"Teleport to the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm."

This gathering took place in Master Huan Die Wang's Hundred Flowers Secret Realm.

This Hundred Flowers Secret Realm is quite large, except for the Hundred Flowers Garden where the Illusionary Butterfly King cultivates.

There are many other places as well. The one open to the public today is called the Peony Pavilion.

The peony is considered the king of flowers and is one of the most noble flowers.

While ordinary peonies may not be as prestigious as those of special plants, among ordinary plants, the peony's blossoms are especially noble.

When Qin Hao appeared at the Peony Pavilion, the entire peony garden was ablaze with vibrant colors as peonies bloomed.

Peonies of all colors bloom here: Yao Huang, Wei Zi, Zhao Fen, Er Qiao, Dou Lü, Zhi Hong, Yu Ji Yan Zhuang, Yin Hong Qiao Dui, Jin Yu Jiao Zhang, Huang Hua Kui, Lü Xiang Qiu, Chun Shui Lü Bo, Yin Lin Bi Zhu, Yan Rong Zi, Lan Fu Rong, Yu Lou Dian Cui, Feng Dan Bai, Mo Lou Zheng Hui.

Moreover, many of them are rare treasures.

Although these are virtual items in a virtual universe, Qin Hao believes that these treasures will also exist in the real territory of the Illusionary Butterfly King.

"Clouds resemble her clothes, flowers resemble her face; the spring breeze caresses the balustrade, and the dew is heavy."

"If we don't meet atop Mount Qunyu, we'll meet beneath the moon on the Jade Terrace."

Qin Hao couldn't help but think of the poet's verses; they were so beautiful that they couldn't help but remind him of the poem.

"Junior brother?"

A voice rang out, and Qin Hao turned around to see a beautiful young woman.

Her figure was graceful, and she wore a thin veil that revealed glimpses of her body, making her captivating.

Even Qin Hao felt a subtle stirring in his soul.

Fortunately, he had good composure, and the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror emitted a cool sensation, saving him from embarrassment.

"This must be Senior Sister Qian'an? Junior brother greets you."

Qin Hao recalled the information Die Ruo had sent him earlier, which included information about his senior brothers and sisters.

And some of their habits.

This senior sister Qian An really enjoys playing pranks on people.

She was born into the mermaid race, a branch of the human race.

The power to be granted the title of Marquis and achieve immortality.

The opponent is not at their strongest form yet.

If the opponent reveals their fish tail, that is their strongest form.

Every move, every smile, carried the air of illusion.

The sensation Qin Hao felt in his soul just now was due to the opponent's illusionary interference.

Fortunately, Qin Hao had good composure, his spiritual power had increased significantly, and his resistance to illusions had improved.

Of course, Qin Hao has also benefited greatly from his practice of the "Hundred Flowers Secret Strategy" these past few days.

From an unknown height, the Illusionary Butterfly King slowly nodded.

Faced with an immortal mermaid who was also extremely skilled in illusion, Qin Hao was able to avoid being deceived.

This is already extremely rare.

Although Qian did not use her full strength, she only used it casually in the fight.

However, the illusions created casually by a master can sometimes be even more difficult to break.

Take the Illusionary Butterfly Queen, for example; illusion magic has become an integral part of her daily life.

Every movement, even a smile or a turn of the head, exudes the power of illusion.

"Hehe, I knew it. Eleventh Senior Sister's illusion won't work. Our junior brother is Master Illusion Butterfly King's most favored disciple."

Another voice sounded.

Qin Hao had a bit of a headache.

Perhaps because the Butterfly Queen is a woman, most of her disciples are also women.

When there are many women, they tend to gather together and make comparisons more likely.

Of course, men also like to compare.

But they might be comparing muscles.

Women, on the other hand, have a wider range of comparisons.

For example, the one who spoke first was the seventeenth senior sister, Caroline, who was granted the title of Marquis and Immortal.

This senior sister comes from the Rainbow Shell clan and is naturally born with a clam shell, which is a natural defense mechanism.

This single natural clam shell alone significantly boosted the opponent's defense, making it equivalent to a valuable treasure.

Moreover, this clam shell is part of Caroline's body and will continuously improve as her cultivation level increases.

However, the strongest member of the Rainbow Shell clan is currently only an Immortal; no Venerable has yet appeared.

The strength of its shell is also at the level of a precious treasure.

As the sound faded, another woman appeared.

This one is slightly different from the previous senior sister.

But she still had skin as smooth as jade and was as beautiful as an angel.

No, these are fairies from a fairyland.

The phrase "as beautiful as a fairy" seems to have found a correct usage?
Qin Hao's only thought right now is, "Senior sisters, could you wear more layers?"

Don't dress too lightly, or you'll catch a cold.

He felt a slight itch in his nose.

"Junior brother, what's wrong?" Caroline, being a bit mischievous, couldn't help but tease him.

Qin Hao touched his nose and couldn't help but say, "The senior sisters are too charming. My pores must be too enthusiastic, I can't help but want to go out."

Ok?
Caroline didn't react immediately to this sentence.

But being immortal, she realized it in an instant.

Then her face flushed red; she realized she'd been teased by her junior brother.

How can this be possible?
Before she could speak, Qin Hao interjected, "I've made several flowing, wide-sleeved fairy dresses based on the designs of my senior brothers and sisters. I wonder which one you senior sisters would like? Why don't you choose one yourselves?"

The flowing, wide-sleeved fairy dress is also adorned with a number of jewelry pieces, and its style has been slightly altered.

Flowers bloom in vibrant colors, willows turn green, each with its own unique charm.

Everyone has different aesthetic tastes, and their pursuit of color is also different.

So Qin Hao reached out and grabbed, and a dozen or so boxes appeared in front of him.

"This is the design. The real wide-sleeved flowing fairy dress is in my Heavenly Craft Pavilion. If any of you senior sisters choose one, I'll have someone send it to you later."

With new clothes, the two senior sisters were somewhat less offended than before.

More figures fell.

It seems that all the senior sisters had already arrived.

They just haven't shown up yet; they're all waiting for me.

Qin Hao touched his nose and watched as his senior sisters headed straight for those flowing, wide-sleeved fairy dresses.

He also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I had prepared beforehand.

Where there are women, there is indeed trouble.

Luckily I prepared, otherwise I probably wouldn't have gotten through so easily today.

One senior sister is easy to deal with, but two senior sisters are difficult.

The difficulty lies in the fact that there are seven senior sisters in front of us, and five of them have not yet returned; they must be on the battlefield outside the domain.

Master Huan Die Wang had a total of fifteen surviving disciples, including himself, making a total of only three male disciples.

Among them, the second senior brother, Xiao Dong, is the most outstanding one, and is a cosmic venerable one.

My second senior brother seems to be on a mission somewhere, so he won't be coming today.

"Little junior brother."

The one who spoke first was Du Ze, the nineteenth senior brother, who was also the only male disciple present besides Qin Hao.

A formidable figure with the initial strength of a newly appointed king.

The Illusionary Butterfly King is known for his excellent teaching skills, having mentored thirteen immortals and one venerable.

Most of them were granted the title of Marquis and immortality.

Of the three only male disciples, one is a Venerable and the other is a newly appointed King.

Of course, there are also disciples at the peak of the King-level and the limit of the King-level, who are still fighting and battling on the battlefield outside the domain, hoping to go even further.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Nineteen." Qin Hao hurriedly bowed.

How can one be impolite when meeting an immortal?
"Junior brother, there's no need for such formalities." Du Ze laughed heartily and helped Qin Hao up.

But then, he asked seriously, "All the senior sisters have gifts, and I see that even those who didn't receive one have them. What? Senior brother doesn't have one?"

A drop of sweat rolled down.

The question from a fairy being was truly unbearable.

"Yes, of course."

Women simply love clothes, and although the wide-sleeved flowing fairy dress that Qin Hao made wasn't of a high grade, it was still a treasure-level artifact.

It's like a divine weapon.

As for materials, they're simply not up to the standards of these senior female students.

But nice clothes are different.

Women are always willing to spend money on things that are useless.

Otherwise, why are over 90% of the clothing stores on the street women's clothing?
The rest are all children's clothing.

Clothing stores specifically for men are extremely rare.

Men may also be fascinated by a handsome appearance.

But what they value even more is the tangible essence and practical application.

The only things Qin Hao could think of were cigarettes, alcohol, and tea.

As for treasures, aside from a few supreme treasures, his senior brother probably wouldn't even look at them.

Even if he had extra, he wouldn't be able to afford it given his current net worth.

Unless they sell the Heart of Evolution they gave Coulson, or have Lo retrieve the Locke Divine Water.

Qin Hao had enough financial resources to make the purchase.

Cigarettes are not very popular in the universe.

That leaves only tea and wine.

Qin Hao said, "My strength is not high, and I don't have many things to show for myself."

Only brewing is something my junior brother is good at.

However, due to a shortage of materials, my junior brother has only managed to brew a wine called "Clear Stream Spring" and a tea called "Tranquil Heart Tea" as a token of his appreciation.

As he spoke, Qin Hao took out the things he had prepared.

This thing was originally made by myself. It was visualized by the virtual universe scan, but it's just a piece of virtual data.

They even charged a huge sum of money.

Then, he brews these wines in the virtual universe, which also requires purchasing materials.

It has to be said, this virtual universe company really knows how to make money.

However, Qin Hao had already made plans. After his senior brothers and sisters had drunk the clear spring water he brewed and the calming tea he cultivated and roasted, he would wait until they had had a chance to drink it.

These things can be patented.

That will be a large sum of money.

Qin Hao smiled, though he said he felt ashamed.

But Du Ze felt that this junior brother might not necessarily be cruel.

"Oh? Let me have a taste. Speaking of which, the Fire Phoenix Blood Wine that my second senior brother brought back before was truly excellent. I wonder if your wine, called Clear Stream Spring, can compare to the Fire Phoenix Blood Wine that my second senior brother brought back?"

Qin Hao wiped away non-existent beads of sweat.

This senior brother Du Ze is no pushover either.

With just a few words, he dug a hole for himself.

He broke the mud seal.

A fragrant aroma immediately wafted through the air.

"Hmm? Good wine."

These words weren't spoken by Senior Brother Du Ze, but by Senior Sister Eleven.

Just a moment ago, these senior sisters were fighting over the flowing, wide-sleeved fairy dress, neither willing to give in.

But then they started fighting, and although it looked like they were going to have a big fight, they restrained themselves and acted with restraint.

Not a single peony in this peony garden has been damaged.

The flowing, wide-sleeved fairy dress, which was at the center of the struggle, was also well preserved.

As a result, the clear stream and spring water had just been brought out.

Then, Senior Brother Du Ze broke the mud seal, and the aroma of wine wafted out.

Immediately, these senior sisters seemed to have reached a tacit agreement and divided up the flowing fairy dresses.

They even saved the portions for the senior students who didn't come.

Then, the eleventh senior sister directly snatched the clear stream.

"Eleventh Senior Sister, you can't do this! This was a gift from Junior Brother. How can you snatch it?"
