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

Chapter 175 Five Elements Life-Slaying Formation
The soul travels to the upper realm and comes into contact with information from the celestial realm.

This is what every practitioner desires.

However, in the past, this move was a trump card and could not be used lightly.

Each use requires consuming the life force he has accumulated.

In addition, it also requires the consumption of source energy.

Celestial arts are not something ordinary cultivators in the mortal realm can use casually.

So, although Song Fugui was known as the Treasure-Giving Boy, he rarely used his true identity as the Treasure-Giving Boy.

However, this time, he discovered that the life contract given to him by Qin Hao could replace life force and origin, allowing him to use the body of the Wealth-Giving Boy.

This means that what used to be considered a trump card can now be used as a regular ability.

Indeed, this child's physique is just as his name suggests; he truly is a child.

Even now, Song Fugui still remembers the terrifying looks he received from everyone.

What's special is that the female cultivators looked at him as if he were a fun toy.

Thinking of this, Song Fugui couldn't help but shudder.

If they really seize the opportunity, they'll be played to death, right?
Ao Hong didn't even glance at Song Fugui; this money-bringing boy was indeed very powerful.

These are the cultivation methods of two important deities who serve alongside the God of Wealth.

The God of Wealth has five attendants: the Wealth-Attracting Boy, the Wealth-Gathering Boy, the Wealth-Distributing Boy, and the Wealth-Transporting Boy, who are his right-hand men.

Among them, Sudhana, also known as the Wealth-Giving Boy, is the boy closest to the God of Wealth.

Whether Song Fugui was the reincarnation of Sudhana or obtained Sudhana's cultivation method, it all comes down to connections.

Of course, the God of Wealth could not possibly have only five attendants under his command.

This is a general term; all practitioners who cultivate the body of Sudhana and ascend to the heavens to become under the command of the God of Wealth can be called Sudhana.

However, the one who was closest to him was undoubtedly the earliest one.

He was also the one who created the "Sudhana Body" technique.

Ao Hong didn't care which situation it was; once they left the Cangling Secret Realm, he would let Song Fugui give it a try.

The situation in the Heavenly Realm is shrouded in mystery, and Qin Hao cannot see it clearly for the time being.

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

Intelligence is of utmost importance before taking any action.

Song Fugui's family business, Futong Money Shop, is considered to have the best intelligence network in the Qianyang region.

This Futong Money Exchange has created countless fortunes and opportunities.

"By the way, this is a formation. This trip to the center of the secret realm may not go so smoothly."

Ao Hong took out a set of formations: "You all familiarize yourselves with them first, and also this set of formation flags. Refine them all. Be ready to set up the formation at any time."

Everyone received the formation instructions and diagrams, and each person also received a formation flag.

Just look at the name.

"The Five Elements Life-Slaying Formation".

Song Fugui's eyes were a little strange as he glanced at Qin Hao and asked, "Are you going after the four great families?"

When they first arrived, they encountered the Marquis of Lusheng Sword, one of the four great families. At that time, Qin Hao said something.

I wonder if I could borrow the sword manual to take a look.

Subsequently, Miao Xinwei from the Miao family, one of the four great families, came to challenge him, and Qin Hao even gained some insight into the mysteries of the Absolute Life Sword through this opportunity.

Next, Lu Xibai from the Lu family, who was standing next to Master Lu, came to challenge him.

Qin Hao seems to have learned from someone else's experience.

Now they've even created a formation, and they've even used the name of someone else's Zhusheng Sword.

However, upon closer examination, Song Fugui's eyes turned serious.

This formation, while not as powerful as those well-established formations, is still quite powerful.

But it is indeed quite powerful, and it is a newly created formation.

It is based on the Five Elements, encompassing the true meaning of the Four Swords of Life Extermination, and is a new formation.

Its power looks impressive, but its actual effectiveness remains to be seen.

But Qin Hao has already set up array flags, so it looks like they're pretty powerful?

The formation they are most proficient in at Pengze Lake is undoubtedly the Ten Directions Formation.

But this requires a formation consisting of ten people.

This Five Elements Life-Slaying Formation only requires five people to form.

One person presides over the formation, while four people stand around it, each carrying a formation flag. Four spirit swords are required: the Life-Slaying Sword, the Life-Cutting Sword, the Life-Trapping Sword, and the Life-Extinguishing Sword.

In fact, if a puppet is added, one person can form an army.

However, the more people there are, the greater the power of this formation becomes.

Really awesome!

I just don't know how Qin Hao forged these four spirit swords.

This is the core property of the four major families; it must never be shown to anyone.

"Brother Qin, are you really not afraid of Master Lu's Life-Slaying Sword?"

This is a core secret of the four major families. Is this person really not afraid at all?
That's a big shot who's ranked number one on the Heavenly Ranking.

In other words, apart from a few extremely special individuals.

This is the number one in the Qianyang Realm.

Even when Emperor Hengming left the capital, he was still considered three-tenths weaker.

This guy is really bold.

Qin Hao smiled and said, "This isn't the original Four Swords of Life-Slaying. If it were, it wouldn't be able to accommodate it."

"Then the number one on the Heavenly Ranking is nothing special."

Speaking of which, this Zhusheng Sword is said to be the original version of the Zhusheng Sword cultivated from it.

But within it, the essence of others' cultivation is also contained.

It can also be considered Master Lu's sword of annihilation.

Even if everyone practices the same method, the way they use it will definitely have their own unique characteristics.

Without your own unique characteristics, you will never stand out.

This is what is meant by "those who learn from me die, those who imitate me live".

You must forge your own path.

For some reason, this thought popped into Ao Hong's mind.

Therefore, the ancient sages only propagated the Way; as for the techniques you practice, you must find them within the Way yourself.

"and many more."

Ao Hong suddenly reached out to stop everyone.

Previously, when the group was on their way, they did more than just study the formations.

They also need to fight against demons that can appear at any time.

Although Ao Jin was captured in the previous battle, many members of the Qiushui Sect still escaped.

Among them, Suo Qianqiu escaped.

Ao Hong didn't care. Anyway, the other party was still in the Cangling Secret Realm, and they would meet again sooner or later.

Before Ao Hong, he was training Song Fugui and others.

At this time, Suo Qianqiu and the others escaped.

To avoid being hunted down by Ao Hong and the others, they naturally had to send demons to surround and ambush them.

And this was exactly what he wanted.

"There's a fight ahead. Oh, and it's someone I know."

A group of people rushed over there and saw a person being surrounded and attacked by a large number of demons.

The man's body shimmered with golden light, and he would occasionally throw a punch, knocking back the demons in front of him, some even causing them to vomit blood.

But direct kills are rare.

"It really is an acquaintance." Vajra Sword's eyes were incredibly complicated.

The person being besieged before him was the same person who had defeated him before, a member of the Southern Jin Young Eagle Ranking.

Tianning Temple, the reincarnation of Vajra, Jiechen.

"It's still the same. It seems fierce, but it actually leaves room for maneuver. Even against the demons, it's the same."

Even now, thinking back to that battle makes King Kong feel like vomiting blood.

Anyway, it's basically a hedgehog, or more accurately, a turtle.

No matter how you attack, you can't break through the opponent's defense.

The opponent's attack, though it could be described as sharp.

But at crucial moments, he would hold back some of his strength.

Ao Hong observed for a while, nodded slightly, and then shook his head.

This was not something Jiechen thought in his heart, but rather something he did intentionally.

The scriptures for practicing the precepts against anger require compassion to progress further.

While Jiechen may seem to show mercy everywhere, he is actually ruthless at every turn.

The reason he seemed to be holding back was simply because he realized his mistake at the last moment and deliberately held back.

"It seems that this person had quite a story before his reincarnation."

When a celestial being is suddenly reincarnated and descends to the mortal realm, isn't that all for a few specific purposes?
Especially for those in the Buddhist community, what they hope for most is to break through the bottleneck by cultivating themselves over many lifetimes, hoping to reach a higher level.

"What exactly is he doing?" Vajra Sword and the others were all confused and did not know what Jiechen was trying to do.

Song Fugui and Xie Lingyun seemed to be deep in thought, but they were not quite sure what to do.

"What's the point of continuing like this? Are we just going to rely on those demons being restrained by Buddhist and Taoist power, suffering severe injuries that they can't heal themselves, and then slowly being eroded and killed by Buddhist and Taoist power?"

The power of Buddhism and Taoism excels at defense, but its effectiveness is reduced by one-third against those who follow the righteous path.

However, for demons, souls, and ghosts, the effect is enhanced by five or six points.

It could even double.

Moreover, these demons, having been harmed by Buddhist or Taoist powers, find it difficult to heal themselves.

Unless it is in an environment with extremely abundant demonic energy, where all of the Buddha's power is slowly consumed by the demonic energy.

Otherwise, extremely precious elixirs would be required.

The rest, like the demons before them, can only sit and wait to die.

Ao Hong didn't want to wait here, so he immediately took a step forward. Jie Chen immediately turned his head and saw that his eyes were filled with defensiveness and warning.

Warn him not to do anything unnecessary and not to interrupt his actions.

"What does he mean?" Vajra Sword was speechless. "He doesn't want us to get involved. If he dies in the end, won't we be accused of standing by and watching someone die?"

That previous failure still left some marks on Jin Gangjian's heart.

This was unlike Qin Hao's previous battles with him. Although Qin Hao hadn't made many moves, he hadn't acted like this before.

It was as if he made a move, but then held back in time.

Ao Hong shook his head: "His current state is very strange. Something must have happened back in the Heavenly Realm."

"Why?"

"Judging from its teachings, it is similar to the Diamond Sutra."

This is achieved through immense perseverance, accumulating Buddhist power, and forging an indestructible body.

When facing demons and evil spirits, one should slay them with the wrathful gaze of a Vajra, thus forging one's own Vajra body.

But at this time, his practice was to guide and liberate all sentient beings with compassion.

However, the way he used it made it look somewhat awkward and out of place.

His heart was filled with murderous intent, yet he still wanted to do compassionate things.

If your words don't match your heart, you'll naturally achieve half the results with twice the effort.

Even going against the current, it's common to go backwards.

Everyone was stunned. Dragon King, Brother Qin can still give guidance to people in the upper realm?
Although this person should be a reincarnation of someone from the upper realm, he doesn't remember much about the upper realm.

But its cultivation method must be from the heavenly realm, right?
It's like Song Fugui's incarnation as the Sudhana (a type of child spirit), which Qin Hao didn't comment on much.

"What should we do? We can't just keep waiting for him here, can we?"

Qin Hao chuckled and said, "Actually, it's simple. It's just that Master Jiechen is too caught up in the situation to see clearly."

In truth, it is merely the wrath of a Vajra, but also the compassion of a Bodhisattva!

This sentence was very loud, but everyone felt that it was like a great bell, which was very powerful and awe-inspiring.

The others were one thing, but Song Fugui and Xie Lingyun seemed to be deep in thought.

But Jiechen was suddenly stunned. Then Vajra turned around and punched him relentlessly.

Before long, he had killed all the demons in the surrounding area.

This?
Vajra Sword and the others still didn't understand.

Song Fugui nodded thoughtfully.

Xie Lingyun smiled and said, "Indeed, it is both the wrath of a Vajra and the compassion of a Bodhisattva."

Jiechen clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and said, "What a magnificent sound of heavenly dragons and dragons! It is truly deafening."

Song Fugui was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed.

This is indeed the Dragon King. The Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon are a secret technique of the Heavenly Dragon Clan, and not everyone among all true dragons can learn them.

For example, Ao Jin, the seventeenth prince of the Dragon Palace of Falling Star Lake, was not qualified to study.

Ao Hong smiled without saying a word.

The so-called Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon are a secret technique that the ancestor of the dragon race comprehended by listening to the two sounds of "hum" and "ha" before the creation of the world in the primordial era.

It is a technique for killing enemies, and also a method for giving guidance.

Just now, Ao Hong used the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds to recite those words, which just happened to enlighten this Vajra reincarnation.

He was indeed a reincarnation of a celestial being.

Once one's merits are complete, one will naturally return to the heavenly realm and attain a higher level of cultivation.

If we don't cultivate good karma now, when will we?
The cause of preaching at this time will bear good fruit.

Ao Hong laughed and said, "It's just a coincidence. Master is also blinded by his own involvement, but he will unravel this mystery sooner or later. When that time comes, returning to the Upper Realm is just around the corner."

Jiechen shook his head: "This is just a hurdle. There will be many more hurdles ahead. Returning to the Heavenly Realm will not be an easy task."

"The long pass through Xiongguan is really like iron, but now we are crossing it from the beginning."

Qin Hao smiled and said, "As long as you are heading towards the Heavenly Realm, no matter how far the journey is, you will eventually arrive."

"Goodness is goodness."

They looked at each other and smiled.

This was the first time Jiechen had discovered that there were such interesting people in the Qianyang Realm.

It seems that this person's future is also extremely bright.

"I suppose I will become another fellow Daoist in the future."

As for the other cultivators in the Qianyang Realm, most of them are not even worthy of being called "fellow Daoist".

Fellow Daoists, fellow Daoists, friends who share the same path.

If one cannot ascend to heaven, one cannot be considered a fellow traveler with him, a celestial being.

Ao Hong looked towards the center and said, "Master, why don't we split up and rescue our fellow cultivators who have entered the Cangling Secret Realm?"

There seems to be something wrong with the Skywood.

The Qiushui Sect's actions this time demonstrate that there are divisions among the human race in the Qianyang Realm.

Someone wants to switch to the demonic path.

The fact that this action was taken only now does not mean that no plans were made in the past.

The Azure Sky Tree in the center, which suppresses the powerful demons, may have encountered some problems.

If not properly arranged, problems may arise.

As for those powerful beings of the fourth realm outside, do they know about these things?

Ao Hong didn't even bother to think about it.

All he had to do was pretend that no one else knew and do everything in his power to save the situation.

If we can turn the tide, that would be best.

If that doesn't work, there are tall guys backing up.

Jiechen nodded and was about to turn around.

Ao Hong called out to the other party: "This is my formation diagram. I will set up a grand formation later."

You may all enter my grand formation and borrow its protective power.

Without giving the opposing team any battle flags, Ao Hong didn't know how many people had problems.

So they simply stopped providing the battle flags.

The opponent has a formation diagram, and with our cooperation...

These people can enter the formation to protect themselves and strengthen themselves by utilizing some of the formation's power.

Survival rates have certainly improved.

As for those who don't want to come?
Ao Hong doesn't force it.

Good words can't persuade a damn ghost.

That's why there's a saying: Buddha saves those with affinity.

Of course, the original meaning of this sentence has been misinterpreted by those who practice Buddhism.

It's the same principle as how the words of many Confucian and Taoist sages were misinterpreted by pedantic scholars.

Or perhaps those two legendary Buddhist and Taoist masters themselves, due to interests or circumstances, misinterpreted the teachings they themselves passed down.

That's not something to be told to outsiders.

The two sides parted ways, and Ao Hong led the group to continue on their way.

Everyone, including Vajra Sword and the others, had gained some understanding after being enlightened by the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds.

The most common were Song Fugui and Xie Lingyun.

Song Fugui is related to the Heavenly Child Sudhana; he possesses astonishing comprehension and understands things very easily.

However, Xie Lingyun's comprehension seems to have been continuously improving.

Now it seems that he has even surpassed Song Fugui?

This is a bit intriguing.

This woman's background is definitely not simple.

However, Ao Hong did not investigate further.

The other party passing on their life contract is definitely not something that can be summarized by a simple secret technique.

This thing is of extremely high quality.

He vaguely saw a clue that the future might be infinitely bright.

At this moment, Xie Lingyun was both studying the formation and observing the destiny contract in her sea of ​​consciousness.

Ever since she realized her past life and obtained this secret method.

With the help of the sect leader, he finally found a good spiritual root and successfully cultivated.

However, the life force accumulated over time is still insufficient, and it has been stuck in a bottleneck.

However, having previously received some of Qin Hao's power, he actually managed to break through the bottleneck of his life contract power.

Xie Lingyun discovered that the life contract had undergone an inexplicable evolution and breakthrough.

Her comprehension also improved.

Even their bodies have undergone some modifications.

And this change is still ongoing.

"If my master once said that I could barely enter the fourth realm, then now, I can go a long way in the fourth realm."

Furthermore, if the Fate Contract can be further developed in the future, her potential could be even greater.

"My path is probably based on this destiny contract. But I can't rely on it completely; I still need to forge my own path."

Those who imitate me will die, those who resemble me will live.

Xie Lingyun understood this very well.

Previously, there was no other way but to rely on this.

Now, thanks to Qin Hao, her future potential seems to have been raised.

If you created this destiny contract in your past life, you will still need to be reincarnated based on this destiny contract.

That means the upper limit of this thing is not enough.

I still need to forge my own path.

A sudden realization dawned on her, and her soul felt clear.

My state of mind has improved considerably.

A group of people turned to look at Xie Lingyun and saw her genuine smile.

It's as if it has blended into its surroundings.

Xie Lingyun suddenly frowned: "Brother Qin, the surrounding environment tells me that it is being polluted by demonic energy. If it is not improved soon, this place will become a demonic land."

Ao Hong had actually known about this for a long time.

He nodded, and a figure emerged from his body.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm entrusting this to you."

"Easy to say."

The person from the future stepped out, didn't greet anyone, and headed straight away in a certain direction.

This?
It's like a magic trick!

They also remembered that before entering the secret realm, a figure had emerged from Qin Hao's body.

At that time, a powerful figure of the fourth realm exclaimed in surprise, "This is a dragon avatar!"

And what about this figure?

There is a second primordial spirit?

Ao Hong did not explain: "Let's go, free up all our forces as soon as possible. We'll head towards the Central Committee."

Along the way, they rescued every cultivator they encountered.

Then, they either help scatter to rescue others.

Alternatively, they could follow Qin Hao and the others towards the center of the secret realm.

Since you've chosen to come here, you must have your own demands.

But no matter what, they will eventually have to leave.

But if they don't deal with the demons in the center, they'll probably have a hard time getting out this time.

Given their abilities, they certainly couldn't have accomplished it alone.

Then why not go with Qin Hao?

This is the Dragon King of Pengze Lake.

No shame.

Outside, above Falling Star Lake, inside the Cloud Palace.

Master Yunhua looked at the void gate in front of him and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He thought to himself, "I was originally thinking about how to accomplish this without making a sound."

Unexpectedly, when the master was in trouble, the disciple took his place.

That saved us a lot of trouble.

Master Yunhua's heart stirred, and the Dao artifact Demon-Slaying Token above the Void Gate activated, sending down wisps of light that enveloped the Void Gate.

"Brother Yunhua, what is this?" someone asked, puzzled.

Master Yunhua laughed and said, "It's nothing, just in case. In case any demon cubs sneak out."

Master Feiyun glanced back, somewhat puzzled.

But I didn't pay much attention to it.

In any case, all these matters are led by Master Yunhua.

He came here simply to lend a helping hand.

What Master Yunhua does is entirely his own business.

All he needed to do was shake the Qingyin Bell to prevent the demonic energy from corrupting everyone's minds.

"But shouldn't he take action by now?"

Master Yunhua chatted and laughed with everyone, discussing the Dao, before glancing back at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao understood that his master had seen through his little tricks.

But it doesn't matter anymore, since Master Yunhua saw it and didn't stop it.

That would be an opportunity for me to make a name for myself.

Moreover, acting alone is much more discreet than acting under the control of Master Yunhua.

After all, the big shots in the fourth realm are all focused on Master Yunhua and won't notice him.

Even with the title of genius, he didn't grow up.

In the eyes of a master, there are only masters.

Just then, Qin Hao felt the network of Xiaoyao Cave calling to him again.

He closed his eyes and connected to the Dream Butterfly Secret Realm of the Free and Unfettered Cave. Immediately, a message came through.

Qin Hao opened his eyes and immediately smiled.

"The credit is in hand, the number of demons slain is sufficient, and the secret technique of the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram is obtained."

Moreover, in addition to this, he also has a large number of merits from his sect.

"Should I exchange for another sapling of a large ailanthus tree, or for a new secret technique?"

It must be said that the Supreme One lineage has many secret techniques.

All sorts of secret techniques are derived from those top-tier treasures.

Furthermore, when the secret techniques are cultivated to their peak, they can be combined with the embryo of a magical artifact to create a top-tier magical artifact.

"One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones? That's a bit difficult, and it requires the primordial pure Qi from the beginning of creation to cultivate. Even if I exchange for the secret technique, I don't have that primordial pure Qi. I'll put it aside for now and exchange for it later when I need it."

Qin Hao had not expected that the merits of slaying demons would be so numerous.

"It looks like we're going to make a fortune this time."
