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

Chapter 153 A Thousand Trials and Tribulations Forge the Dao Heart; The Power of the Five Elements; Let Us Encourage Each Other

After the seven-colored dragon was born, it became Qin Hao's second primordial spirit.

And what controls it is Qin Hao's true spirit.

The true spirit is one, and dwells high above.

It's like a god looking down on the human world, firmly holding the initiative and control.

In that instant, a flood of insights came to mind.

Qin Hao felt that in that instant, his understanding of the Five Elements had been enhanced.

Things that used to seem obscure and difficult to understand now seem easy to grasp at a glance.

What I couldn't understand before, I can now seem to grasp with ease.

The Five Elements are now right before my eyes, and there are no more secrets to them.

It's like a beautiful woman who has taken off her clothes and is now completely naked.

In addition to these, there is Yin and Yang.

Qin Hao had begun to grasp the Yin-Yang principle, which he had previously had no understanding of at all.

It should be noted that the lineage passed down by the Taoist Master Nanhua originally belonged to the Supreme Sage.

The Supreme Sage was extremely skilled in Yin and Yang, and even reversed Yin and Yang to integrate them into Tai Chi!

Although he had only just begun to explore this concept, Qin Hao felt that he had already gained a certain level of understanding of Yin and Yang.

A faint yin-yang aura emanated from his body.

He came into contact with the concept of Yin and Yang.

Even faster than Yin and Yang is the power of the wood element.

The understanding of laws, or rather, the power of momentum, is like a natural talent of the true spirit, or perhaps a fixed skill.

The characteristic of "one certificate for life" has begun to emerge.

Once it is grasped by his other self, it will be extracted by his true spirit.

Then, this principle can be quickly applied to other versions of myself as well.

Moreover, the degree will be extremely similar.

The subtle differences may be the inherent talents of each individual being.

For example, the body in the Qianyang Realm before the dragon bloodline was gathered and expelled from the body is extremely compatible with water.

At one point, it even became a shackle that prevented him from comprehending the fire attribute.

Now, the bloodline of the dragon race has been condensed and injected into the body of the seven-colored dragon.

Qin Hao's body has finally achieved a balance in its understanding of the five elements.

Having already comprehended the other Five Elements principles, only the Wood element remained.

In this short period of time, he had already grasped the power of the wood element.

Originally, the Xicang Palace was rich in wood element, and various plants grew vigorously, vying for beauty.

And at this moment...

Song Fugui looked at the garden and it suddenly seemed as if spring had arrived, with all the plants vying for attention.

"What's going on here?"

The flowers throughout the palace were all growing and blooming.

This?
This even affected a nearby palace.

Of the four great families of the Four Swords of Zhusheng, three have already been eliminated.

Hou Yaoling asked, "When exactly will the Lu family arrive?"

Hou Yaoling was also a little confused and worried at this moment.

This was because when he awoke in his quiet room in the palace today, he was shocked to discover something that shouldn't have been there.

For some reason, Hou Yaoling suddenly remembered a lot of things.

Why make me the decision-maker in this industry when I'm not the most outstanding among the younger generation?
Even the Hou family has its share of outstanding individuals.

Could it be that those individuals are all to be hidden away by the clan, waiting to be put to use one day?
What about yourself?

Are they just cannon fodder pushed out?

But what about Zhang Mubai?
Is he too?

This person is a genius whose swordsmanship is already close to mastery.

I hadn't thought much about it before.

Only now, when I calm down and think about it, do I realize how terrifying it is.

Moreover, Lu Xibai of the Lu family is said to have extremely strong talent in swordsmanship.

Even the Lu family patriarch, Mr. Lu, was extremely shocked, as he had taken him under his wing since childhood and taught him with great care.

It seems they will come this time as well.

What level has his swordsmanship reached?
Are we close to gaining full access to the inner sanctum?

Or have they already entered the inner circle?
In name, Lu Xibo was also under his management.

Will he obey my orders without question?

Zhang Mubai and Miao Xinwei exchanged a glance, both seemingly noticing that something was wrong with Hou Yaoling.

This visit to Falling Star Lake was not only for the younger generation to seek some benefits.

They also have some tasks to perform.

Only Hou Yaoling didn't know what the mission was.

As for Lu Xibo, he hasn't arrived yet.

The two of them were actually a little worried, wondering how things had been delayed.

Neither of them spoke, and the scene became somewhat awkward.

Suddenly, all three of them turned to look outside.

Then he saw that the plants in the courtyard of the palace where he lived were growing wildly.

The three men leaped out and quickly pinpointed the source of the incident.

"It's the Xi Cang Palace, but who exactly is it?"

"This is... the power of the wood element?"

"law?"

Although the Qianyang Realm is accustomed to talking about power, this is because it is derived from the path of martial arts.

People usually talk about fist techniques and sword techniques, but in reality, Taoist and Buddhist practitioners also have similar powers.

However, they are all commonly referred to as "momentum" or "strategic force".

The three of them searched for a while, but couldn't find out what was going on.

This situation was quickly contained.

Even the elders from the four major families who accompanied and protected the three did not notice.

"What exactly is going on?"

A young man walked in from outside.

He possessed a dignified bearing and an unyielding spirit.

He carried a spirit sword on his back, exuding an aura that soared to the heavens.

Upon closer inspection, however, it appears extremely understated, as if one has not sensed anything at all.

Hou Yaoling gasped, "Lu Xibo? You..."

Indeed, the person who arrived was Lu Xibo, who had just arrived.

Just by sensing Lu Xibai's aura, Hou Yaoling knew that he was no match for him.

I used to wonder why Lu Xibo wasn't on the list.

Whether it's the Rising Star Ranking of the Southern Jin Dynasty or the Human Ranking of the Great Xia Dynasty, both are considered to be quite prestigious lists.

The current number one on the list is right next door in the Xicang Palace.

For some reason, Hou Yaoling thought of the day he revealed his swordsmanship level, and Qin Hao, who was close to becoming a master of swordsmanship, as well as Zhang Mubai.

And the story of Miao Xinwei's challenge but narrowly losing to Qin Hao.

It appeared in an instant.

I wonder who is stronger between Lu Xibo and Qin Hao?

In that instant, many things came to Hou Yaoling's mind.

"Why don't you go next door to investigate, Brother Lu, and challenge the number one on the Human Ranking? This time, the four great families are coming here, and we need to make a show of force. Junior Sister Miao is much stronger than me, but she was still defeated. It's just in time for you to show your skills, Brother Lu, who seems to have already entered the inner circle."

Ok?
Lu Xibo never expected that the first thing he would hear upon arrival would be this.

He looked at Hou Yaoling, wondering what was wrong with him.

His temperament and personality seem to have changed a lot?
Lu Xibai glanced at Zhang Mubai and Miao Xinwei, and saw that the two of them were shaking their heads with extremely slight movements.

Lu Xibo knew that this meant the two of them were unaware of the situation, and it was also a way of telling him not to respond.

It seems that the person ranked first in the Xicang Palace is quite powerful.

Even Junior Sister Miao was defeated.

"Alright."

Lu Xibai nodded in agreement, speaking with extreme composure.

It doesn't seem like he's going to challenge the number one on the leaderboard; it's more like he's just saying, "I want to eat a steamed bun for lunch today."

what?
Zhang Mubai and Miao Xinwei both frowned.

I don't know why he agreed.

Logically speaking, Lu Xibai should have refused.

Moreover, he spent most of his time practicing swordsmanship with Master Lu and did not travel around.

Even the list of people assessed by the Six Doors (a government agency) did not include him.

However, no one dared to say that Lu Xibo didn't deserve to be on the list.

The mere mention of "Mr. Lu" is enough to earn Lu Xibo a place on the list.

Moreover, he is a strong contender for the top spot on the leaderboard.

Lu Xibai made his decision and, disregarding the fact that he had just arrived, turned around and headed straight for the Xicang Palace next door.

Zhang Mubai and Miao Xinwei immediately followed, also curious about Lu Xibai's swordsmanship level.

Among the younger generation, everyone is an outstanding individual.

Although Lu Xibo was favored by Mr. Lu and had been taken in by his side since childhood.

But no one would think they were weaker than Lu Xibai.

Hou Yaoling was already somewhat unconvinced, let alone Zhang Mubai and Miao Xinwei.
These two are only one step away from truly entering the inner circle.

Although Lu Xibo had already taken the first step.

But the two also felt that it was because they had not received guidance from Master Lu.

Master Lu is ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking. If Emperor Hengming didn't rely on the Divine Capital Array, he wouldn't need the title of Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Basically, no one thought that Master Lu was no match for Emperor Hengming.

This top spot on the Heavenly Ranking is acknowledged by everyone in the Qianyang Realm.

Except for a very few who are not on the list.

For example, the Taoist Nanhua of Xiaoyao Cave.

No one dares to claim they can rival this person. Even Master Lu, who was by his side, treated him with the respect due to a junior and dared not offend him.

This is because this Taoist Nanhua is neither a young person nor does he possess the cultivation level he appears to have.

Its existence is somewhat similar to the Sambhogakaya and Nirmanakaya in Buddhism and Taoism. It is not a second primordial spirit, but it is even better than a second primordial spirit.

Inside the Xicang Palace, the future self sits in command.

He made his move the moment the strange phenomenon appeared.

With just a wave of his hand, he had already set up an array to block these strange phenomena.

Therefore, the clues only appeared in a few palaces very close to Xicang Palace.

After that, General Crab also made a move, locking onto the Washing Palace with his aura and restricting all the power within the Washing Palace.

Therefore, unless one is extremely perceptive, it is unlikely to be discovered.

The future self never imagined that such a thing would happen just from nurturing a second primordial spirit.

The quiet room where the second primordial spirit was conceived had already been set up with an array.

However, this momentum actually exceeded the constraints of the formation, and some of it still leaked out.

This time, not only were all five elements present, but they also comprehended the laws.

Moreover, they are all progressing towards more advanced levels.

I believe that returning to the Swallowed Star world would only take a very short time.

This allows the other elements of the Five Elements to gain recognition from the laws in a short period of time.

That's quite an achievement.

In addition, he also gained some basic understanding of the Yin-Yang principle, and could be considered to have grasped some of its essence.

Incidentally, he also gained some understanding of the Law of Light.

In the context of the Swallowed Star universe, that would be the law of light.

This even led to a slight understanding of the laws of time.

It is important to understand that, in any world, spacetime is extremely complex and difficult to comprehend.

At that very moment, the future self was also involved, accelerating its comprehension of the laws.

Having just conceived his second primordial spirit, the hatching of the seven-colored dragon was like a buff, accelerating his comprehension of the laws.

This time, he was closer to the law than ever before.

Or rather, it is the way of Heaven.

Every minute and every second, his strength is increasing.

Although physical strength was not enhanced, magical power was honed to a certain extent.

The future self also imagines this situation continuing indefinitely.

Perhaps, he will soon be able to enter the second stage of the second realm.

He hasn't even been a practitioner for a full year.

Although there is a time difference between the two realms, his actual cultivation time has already exceeded several years.

However, this progress is still extremely encouraging.

Just then, the future version of himself frowned and said to Song Fugui, "Four guests have arrived outside. Go and welcome them in. It seems that the younger generation of the Four Swords of Life Extermination have all arrived."

As for personally welcoming him?

That is impossible.

If we only consider the top person on the list, there isn't much difference in their status.

If we're talking about family assets...

The four families are large and powerful.

Even the Great Xia Dynasty court tried to win over and appease the Lu family.

Being ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking is not just a title.

This is real combat power.

In a world where great power resides within oneself, and the strong influence the overall situation.

Mr. Lu's reputation was far more intimidating than that of Marquis An Yuan.

But Qin Hao has the Dragon Palace of Pengze Lake behind him.

He is the Dragon King of Pengze Lake, so he has to be a bit more particular.

With Ao Hui's backing, Qin Hao had to consider Ao Hui's reputation even if he didn't think about himself.

If it were in my own place, it wouldn't matter.

Perhaps people will even think that they are welcoming them with open arms, thus gaining a better reputation.

But here, at the Dragon Palace of Falling Star Lake, it's not possible.

Song Fugui came out to greet them. Just as the four of them, along with an elder at the peak of the third realm, arrived at the door, they saw Song Fugui come out to greet them.

Several people were stunned.

The Xi Cang Palace was set up by Luo Xing Lake. They can stack some formations, but they cannot exceed the settings of the Xi Cang Palace.

Unbeknownst to them, their arrival was discovered by others.

It's clear that the other party is indeed extraordinary.

Perhaps it was that fourth-realm guard?

"Brother Lu, Brother Hou, Brother Zhang, Senior Sister Miao, and this senior. My Dragon King sent me to greet you all."

That elder was a protector of the Way and did not wish to reveal his name.

Therefore, in terms of address, it was placed last.

He didn't seem to care.

But Hou Yaoling felt that her name was placed behind Lu Xibai's.

He cares a little.

However, Hou Yaoling soon realized that her emotions seemed to have been affected.

Even the spirit and soul are affected to some extent.

"What's the reason?"

Zhang Mubai and Miao Xinwei didn't seem to care about that.

The four of them come from the same source; their fortunes are intertwined, and their losses are shared.

If it were within their own organization, they might care.

To outsiders, they are all one.

Besides, there's only four of us, so there's no need to rank them.

They each knew the truth in their hearts.

Hou Yaoling discovered that there was something wrong with her soul, but she was still angry that Qin Hao did not come out to greet her personally.

Is it true that the same thing happened when Miao Xinwei visited?

However, thinking about Song Fugui's title, Dragon King, he suppressed his divine soul again.

Song Fugui glanced at Hou Yaoling seemingly casually, but he felt that this person was a bit strange.

His method of cultivation is unique, with the I Ching as its core. The I Ching is about transactions and change.

Hou Yaoling's changes were indeed quite miraculous in his perception, but he couldn't quite grasp them.

Lu Xibai didn't care about these empty titles at all.

If he cared, he wouldn't have stayed with Master Lu for so many years without even making the list of successful people.

"please."

Everyone followed Song Fugui inside, and the changes in the courtyard surprised Lu Xibai and the other three.

It seems this is the source.

Song Fugui was prepared for this, and laughed, "Our Dragon King is performing magic here, both to instruct us and to prepare for the Dragon Prince Banquet later. So there are some..."

Qin Hao possesses the Flame Domain, which has further evolved into the Flame Law.

In the world of Swallowed Star, he held training courses.

This place is no exception.

Including Song Fugui and others, they had all received guidance from Qin Hao.

Each piece of guidance proved invaluable to Song Fugui and the others.

Even the family heirloom, the "Tong Yi Jing," was unknown to Qin Hao in its specific contents.

However, it still provides insightful guidance on the practice of the *Tong Yi Jing*.

Many of the details were so subtle that even his own father, Song Yuanbao, hadn't noticed them and couldn't offer him any guidance.

Song Fugui's words piqued the curiosity of the group even more.

This youngest grandson of the Marquis of Anyuan, who hails from the capital, seems rather strange.

Having come this far, the future self opened its eyes, revealing a hint of regret.

I really don't want to be disturbed, but unfortunately, the preparations I made beforehand were still somewhat insufficient.

Lu Xibo from the Lu family arrived at a truly inopportune time, interrupting my meditation.

Fortunately, both the past and present bodies can continue.

"Welcome everyone."

Qin Hao stood up and greeted him.

Although he had to maintain his identity as the Dragon King, he could not go out to greet them.

However, the group consisted of the best of the younger generation from the four families of the Four Swords of Life Extermination, as well as an elder at the peak of the third realm.

Although he was the Dragon King, he was only at the second realm.

With just one glance, Lu Xibai realized how terrifying the person in front of him was.

There was a subtle fluctuation of power emanating from him, which was because he had just made considerable progress in comprehending the laws.

Lu Xibai also sensed a bit of the essence of swordsmanship while he was there.

He was also a master of swordsmanship.

Although Qin Hao is not a specialist in swordsmanship, his swordsmanship is slightly impure.

Even so, the opponent's swordsmanship level was already close to mastering the art.

As expected, she is somewhat stronger than Miao Xinwei.

Miao Xinwei was even more surprised.

Keep in mind, how long has she been challenging him?

Although they hadn't gone all out before, they still had a trump card up their sleeve.

But Qin Hao must also have his own trump card.

Qin Hao was also somewhat moved upon seeing this.

These four families are indeed extraordinary.

Hou Yaoling is the weakest in swordsmanship among the four.

But he is also one of the best among the younger generation.

It is only slightly inferior to the Vajra Sword.

Of course, that was the old Vajra Sword. The current Vajra Sword has received the teachings given to it by itself, as well as guidance from itself.

He is now so much stronger than he was before.

Zhang Mubai and Miao Xinwei are both very strong, but this Lu Xibai is seven times stronger.

His swordsmanship aura had already reached a high level.

Although it seems that this level has only been reached recently.

The others seemed to have noticed this as well, but Qin Hao felt it even more strongly.

"Please come in, everyone."

Qin Hao gestured for them to enter, but Lu Xibo simply shook his head: "I came here to challenge Brother Qin. I wonder if Brother Qin is willing?"

After a pause, Lu Xibo added, "I came here not for the Human Ranking Challenge, so the result can be kept secret."

Qin Hao chuckled: "Since Brother Lu has such a refined idea, I was originally going to make preparations for the Dragon Prince Banquet tonight."

As you all should know, the Dragon Prince Banquet is not just a simple feast.

However, I can't refuse Brother Lu's offer, so please do.

Lu Xibo is a pure sword cultivator, and Qin Hao also wants to fight him.

Sometimes, battles can help you gain insights and knowledge.

This allows one to gain more insights and knowledge by analogy.

I happen to be at the peak of my understanding right now.

Verifying each one might just help you advance further.

The others were not surprised; Lu Xibai was a pure sword cultivator, and they didn't even exchange a word of pleasantries.

Let's start the challenge right away.

The previous statement was not related to the ranking challenge; the result can be kept secret.

His confidence was already evident.

But these words are still extremely hurtful.

It seems that if he comes to challenge the number one player on the leaderboard, he will no longer hold back.

But it was precisely because of this that his swordsmanship skills advanced by leaps and bounds.

Qin Hao still used his Turtle-Snake Sword to fight, while Lu Xibo used his most familiar Zhusheng Sword.

His Life-Slaying Sword technique is not yet absolutely pure, and the concept of Life-Slaying still seems somewhat immature.

Even so, Qin Hao remained extremely cautious in the face of the menacing sword strike.

When the two swords clashed, Lu Xibai's sword didn't seem to be much more powerful than Qin Hao's.

The two swords clashed and collided.

Lu Xibo is sharp and extremely aggressive.

Qin Hao countered with a defensive strategy, redirecting, diverting, and even deflecting the opponent's sword strikes.

This is a technique of using someone else's strength against them, using minimal force to overcome great force.

The figure in the future took a step back, dissipating the force, then drew a circle and struck Lu Xibai.

With just one sword strike, to outsiders, Lu Xibai appeared to have the upper hand.

Qin Hao had no choice but to retreat to dissipate the force, thereby changing his moves to counter the opponent's sword strike.

But Lu Xibai realized that the opponent's counterattack was still extremely sharp and no less effective than his own.

That's an amazing person.

His swordplay seemed impure and inferior to his own level of swordsmanship.

However, its strength remains extremely formidable.

If you are not careful, you will be defeated by your opponent.

Moreover, Qin Hao's swordsmanship, which appeared chaotic, was actually extremely ingenious.

He even used some of the ingenious uses of the Life-Slaying Sword.

Hou Yaoling turned around and glanced at Miao Xinwei, only to see that Miao Xinwei also looked shocked.

"this?"

She only fought Qin Hao once, and the fight wasn't very long.

Qin Hao had actually memorized her sword moves and even incorporated them into his own repertoire.

This is too...

This applies not only to Miao Xinwei, but also to Xie Lingyun and others.

Qin Hao learned and used all the exquisite aspects of their sword techniques.

Everyone who has challenged Qin Hao has their own unique strengths.

At this moment, Qin Hao seemed to be making extensive use of these exquisite techniques.

Then, absorb its essence and remove its dross.

"He even absorbed some of the essence of the Life-Slaying Sword."

There was no sword manual, no incantation, and no cultivation method.

Qin Hao's work cannot be directly copied.

Even if it was plagiarism, it was probably just a case of blindly imitating someone else's gait or a poor imitation.

The outward form of a move can be learned, but its spirit cannot.

But Qin Hao's behavior at this moment was different.

He actually displayed some of its essence, not by using the essence of the Four Swords of Life-Slaying, but by using his own understanding, absorbing it, and then making it his own.

The battle gradually quickened, and Lu Xibo felt that this battle was extremely exhilarating.

After her debut, she fought many battles.

None of them are as good as today's event.

He even felt that his sword aura had increased to some extent.

But Qin Hao's changes and improvements were several times greater and faster than his.

Neither side intended to kill; it was merely a friendly exchange.

After three hundred moves, Qin Hao had a sudden inspiration and transformed all the essence of those moves into a single move.

"The Five Elements are in a state of absolute extinction."

Lu Xibai retreated repeatedly, unable to defend himself head-on, and even felt the sharp sword light piercing his skin with extreme pain.

He knew that if he didn't back down, he would likely face certain death.

Although the other party had no intention of killing, they were not chasing him very fast.

But if one insists on confronting the enemy head-on, their sword will surely pierce one's chest.

After taking thirty steps back, Lu Xibai was just one step away from leaving Xicang Palace.

Qin Hao, however, did not actually approach; he remained in the same spot.

He sheathed his spirit sword and exhaled a breath of stale air.

The joy on her face was impossible to hide.

The Crab General was the first to break into a smile.

He hadn't expected the Dragon King to be so intelligent and to have such a strong understanding of swordsmanship.

"That was... a special move?"

Just like the Four Swords of Immortal Slaughter, they are all ultimate moves that senior masters comprehended from the Four Swords of Immortal Slaughter.

Then they gradually understood the secret techniques and corresponding incantations, and passed them down.

Qin Hao's move still seemed a bit raw.

But that's already their trump card.

If he can further develop and improve upon this in the future.

That would be another one of the Four Swords of Life-Slaying.

Even though his opponent was just a junior among the Four Swords of Life-Slaying.

But Qin Hao is only sixteen years old now?
The future generations are terrible.

The protector of the Hou family, who was at the peak of the third realm, gave Qin Hao a deep look.

However, he dared not move at all, because the Crab General's gaze was only a fleeting glance.

Yet it made him feel a tremendous threat.

It seemed that if he dared to move, death would be his next fate.

The guards of the fourth realm are indeed formidable.

Is this person even comparable to someone at the fourth level within the family?
No, it even surpasses it in some ways.

How can it be!

Lu Xibai's face turned pale, though the spirit sword in his hand appeared to be intact.

But the next second, it shattered into pieces.

"how come!"

Hou Yaoling cried out in disbelief, "That's Lu Xibo!"

He didn't even dare to entertain the thought of fighting Lu Xibai, but only dared to suggest that Lu Xibai challenge Qin Hao in order to observe Lu Xibai's progress.

Lu Xibo's performance just now clearly showed him that Lu Xibo was not someone he could handle at the moment.

However, Qin Hao defeated Lu Xibai solely with his swordsmanship skills.

You should know that the other party is not just a simple sword cultivator.

The opponent also possesses a very powerful magic weapon.

There were even two extremely powerful and terrifying Dao artifacts, spirit swords.

Therefore, Lu Xibai did not use his strongest magic weapon, and neither did his opponent.

It's crazy.

Are all the geniuses in the world this powerful?
Lu Xibai stared blankly at the spirit sword in his hand. Although it was not the one bestowed upon him by Master Lu, it was definitely a top-grade spirit weapon.

Qin Hao did not use a very good spirit sword, not because he didn't have one.

Instead, it was the spirit sword that Qin Hao usually used, a spirit weapon of that level.

The other party possesses a magical artifact.

Tai'a and Longquan are renowned throughout Qianyang.

Don't say that Qin Hao can't use it; his battle doesn't require Qin Hao to provide it himself.

Dao artifacts can also absorb energy on their own and be used as magical weapons in battle.

Only in high-intensity battles, such as those in the fourth realm.

The speed at which the Dao artifact absorbs energy may not be able to keep up.

It requires the swordsman's magical power as support.

Clearly, Qin Hao did not want to rely on Dao artifacts, so Lu Xibai simply used a spirit sword he had obtained on his journey.

This was only the second time it had been used, and it was already breaking into pieces.

His swordsmanship and mental state even shattered for a moment.

Qin Hao was completely absorbed in his sword strike; he had already mastered its essence.

This was the first sword strike that he had completely comprehended on his own.

At that very moment, his swordsmanship reached a new level, from achieving enlightenment to mastering the art.

Furthermore, he has now embarked on the path of the Great Luo through two supreme treasures.

The true spirit bears witness forever.

Qin Hao's confidence has increased once again.

He looked up, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, which he quickly concealed.

Qin Hao noticed Lu Xibai's condition.

Qin Hao understood the other party's situation.

Having followed Master Lu to learn swordsmanship, this is probably the first time he has experienced failure since his debut.

This is a situation where the Daoist heart has been lost.

If not handled properly, and the other party is unable to move on, it could lead to further complications.

Perhaps there will be no further progress in the future.

Qin Hao couldn't bear it. After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and pointed his sword at the other party, his heart filled with determination.

"You!" Hou Yaoling felt a momentary surge of secret delight when she saw Lu Xibai's expression.

But he quickly erased it.

Then, seeing Qin Hao's actions, he was the first to step forward and stand in front of Lu Xibo.

Zhang Mubai and Miao Xinwei followed closely behind, looking at Qin Hao, just about to speak.

Lu Xibai, standing behind him, burst into laughter: "Brother Hou, Brother Zhang, Senior Sister Miao, there's no need for that. Brother Qin saw that my Dao Heart was compromised and wanted to use it to stimulate my Dao Heart Sword Intent. But Brother Qin, you don't need to worry."

Qin Hao nodded. He had only activated his sword intent; he had no intention of killing and had no intention of advancing.

It's all to stimulate the opponent's sword intent and Dao heart.

Unexpectedly, the moment he raised his hand and unleashed his sword intent, it all happened.

Lu Xibai had already emerged from the situation and re-established his Dao Heart, making him even more difficult to deal with than before.

"A thousand trials and tribulations forge a Daoist heart? What a fine Mr. Lu, what a fine Lu Xibai."

Qin Hao's single sentence revealed the whole story of Lu Xibai's situation.

Lu Xibo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled calmly, not caring at all.

However, these words were extremely shocking to Hou Yaoling, Zhang Mubai, and Miao Xinwei.

The meaning of this sentence is quite clear: Master Lu intends to temper and refine Lu Xibai in order to forge Lu Xibai's Dao heart.

This was something that Mr. Lu himself had experienced.

But isn't it said that Lu Xibai has exceptional talent and comprehension, which is why Master Lu likes him and keeps him by his side to teach him wholeheartedly?
But seeing it today, it seems that's not the case?

Lu Xibai looked up, nodded, and admitted, "Brother Qin has good eyesight and understanding. However, you and I are quite similar; we both use this mortal world as a test, and we encourage each other."

Today's update is 8k words, which is considered an extra chapter for every 500 words added.

May everyone, like Lu Xibo, persevere through trials and tribulations to achieve their full potential.
