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

"lets go."

By this time, three days had passed.

Having arranged things at Qinghe Bay, Qin Hao was waiting to set off.

Fortunately, he has three bodies in one body, so he is not overwhelmed with tasks.

In the past, he was stationed at Pengze Lake, and now he is constantly suppressing the demon race.

This passage to the demon realm was the largest passage ten thousand years ago.

The innate divine dragon Ao Hui was tricked by the Great Xia Emperor Xia and was forced to stay at Pengze Lake and could not leave.

Once Ao Hui leaves, the demon race invades, causing the Qianyang Realm to fall.

Ao Hui also needs to take responsibility.

Moreover, she must also bear a portion of the sins caused by the demon race devouring all living beings.

Of course, the Great Xia Emperor who plotted against Ao Hui was also guilty.

Therefore, the Great Xia had no choice but to cede all the land within a thousand li around Pengze Lake to Ao Hui.

The Great Xia Dynasty must not show disrespect to Pengze Lake.

This is why Qin Hao inherited the title of Dragon King of Pengze Lake and gained a transcendent position in the imperial court.

But when the demonic calamity arose, Pengze Lake remained detached.

Qinghe Bay, however, is not detached.

Unless Qin Hao abandons Qinghe Bay and returns to Pengze Lake.

Then he only needs to be in charge of Pengze Lake, and even the Great Xia Dynasty cannot criticize him.

After all, the largest demonic passage from ten thousand years ago has not been completely eliminated to this day, and there is even a tendency for it to erupt again.

Ao Hui couldn't leave, and there was nothing she could do about this passage.

Who made the demon realm's energy level higher, with great demons existing in the celestial realm?

Ao Hui's strength was actually already halfway to transcendence. If it weren't for being held back by this demonic passage, she would have already ascended to immortality.

"A great calamity!"

Ao Hui sighed and glanced at Qin Hao's past self, who was sitting outside the Demon Realm passage.

This kid's promotion is rapid, and his strength is increasing quickly.

She had already seen a possibility of escaping the calamity.

For this reason, she also gave Qin Hao a complete Heavenly Book Stele.

The purpose was to improve Qin Hao's strength.

Over the past few years, Qin Hao has lived up to expectations and his skills have improved rapidly.

Moreover, his skill level is very stable, steadily improving.

In addition to this kid having three bodies in one body, there are many other puppets that arouse curiosity and confusion.

Qin Hao was very skilled at setting up formations, and using puppets to deal with these demons who were easily corrupted was the most appropriate thing to do.

What's particularly remarkable is that Qin Hao is also very skilled at refining magical artifacts.

Ao Hui naturally knew that Qin Hao was a true disciple of Tianlian Valley.

The Demon-Slaying Token he forged has now been used to set up a Demon-Slaying Array here.

Any demon that appears will be killed in no time.

Not only would it not pose a threat to Ao Hui, but the demonic auras of those demons were absorbed by the Demon-Slaying Order, strengthening the Demon-Slaying Array.

If that's the case, over time, she might be able to slowly wear down this demonic passage, gradually shrinking it until it's completely suppressed.

They might even simply disappear.

Unfortunately, on the other side of the demon realm passage, the great demon of the celestial realm refused to give up and continued to attack the passage in hopes of widening it.

If a permanent passage can be formed.

It could even directly connect the two realms, and in the future, it might even directly devour the Qianyang Realm.

Let Qianyang Realm become food for the Demon Realm, thus expanding the Demon Realm's resources.

In the future, they might be able to directly confront the Celestial Realm.

This is the ultimate plan of the opposing demon realm.

Over the years, this plan has never been abandoned.

This person still isn't planning to give up?
Although the Great Demon of the Immortal Realm does not face a lifespan crisis, it is not that he no longer needs to cultivate.

Once they reach that point, it's very difficult for them to go any further.

But one cannot neglect spiritual practice.

Who knows when an accident might happen?

Besides, isn't it necessary to refine treasures?

For them, a powerful magic weapon is also very useful.

For a Dao artifact to upgrade to the level of a Celestial Artifact, it requires a long transition and period of preparation.

As a result, this great demon actually stayed here and refused to leave.

This is also why Ao Hui has been unable to completely eliminate the demonic passage for so many years.

Every time it looked like the passageway was about to narrow.

This great demon from the fairy realm will bombard the passage with all its might from the other side, absolutely not allowing the passage to shrink.

This left Ao Hui speechless.

But they were helpless.

"However, there is still a chance. I just hope that the kid doesn't encounter any major setbacks in Qinghe Bay."

Ao Hui saw hope in Qin Hao, and she saw hope for her own advancement.

So she didn't care about things like dragons.

With her inherent abilities, as long as she can ascend to a different world, she will be able to access higher-level energy sources.

At that time, he will not be just a simple wandering immortal, nor will he be a true immortal of a higher level.

Instead, it starts with a more powerful celestial being.

Even if many people are able to ascend to heaven.

He was stuck at the level of a wandering immortal for his entire life.

Going further up, becoming a true immortal is already a very rare achievement.

To become a celestial being and a guest of honor in the various heavenly courts is extremely difficult.

Ao Hui was a divine dragon innate; if not for Xia's scheme, she would have ascended to immortality long ago.

However, after so many years of refinement, its foundation is incredibly strong.

Once she ascends to heaven, she will immediately become a celestial being.

There's a reason why misfortune can be a blessing in disguise.

"I hope this kid succeeds."

Ao Hui has no other choice now; she doesn't want to fall into depravity or become a demon.

So there was nothing he could do but sit idly by Pengze Lake, unable to interfere in matters of the outside world.

"It's not entirely impossible. This kid has relieved some of the pressure on me. I can free up some energy now."

However, Ao Hui did not act rashly.

There aren't many things in this world worth her attention.

Over there, Xie Lingyun led a group of people over, accompanied by a guard of three hundred men.

This is the guard of Qin Hao, the Divine Warrior.

General Crab had already been standing behind Qin Hao like a shadow.

He also wore a ring on his finger; it was the World Ring, containing a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers.

Before Luo's promotion, Qin Hao commissioned him to make a batch of world rings. The quantity wasn't too large, but it wasn't lacking.

Inside, there is not only land, but also a large number of lakes and oceans.

Many aquatic creatures also live there.

Over the years, the number of aquatic creatures that have multiplied there has increased considerably.

There was also a group of experts; this was the guard that the Dragon Palace had arranged for Qin Hao.

In any case, within the Pengze Lake area, it's highly unlikely that many people would dare to make a move against Pengze Lake.

With Prime Minister Turtle in charge and the Fourth Realm in charge, they basically can't cause any trouble.

With tens of thousands of years of preparation, the formation of Pengze Lake is no joke.

"Let's go."

Qin Hao released the Star-Guiding Boat and stepped onto it.

Xie Lingyun looked at the Star Guide Boat. When she first saw it, it was just a spiritual artifact, but later it became a newly-developed treasure artifact.

Looking at it now, it is already a top-grade treasure, almost on par with a Dao artifact.

But this step is extremely difficult to cross.

Without the right opportunity, this step is highly unlikely.

Without saying much, she led her guards and stepped onto the Star Guide Ship.

The Star Guide Boat soared through the air, heading towards Xiaoyao Prefecture at a steady yet extremely fast speed.

This place is named Xiaoyao because Xiaoyao Cave was originally located here.

However, as time went by, Xiaoyao Cave had separated its sect headquarters from the world.

No one knows where the Xiaoyao Cave sect's headquarters is.

However, Xiaoyao Prefecture is not only home to Xiaoyao Cave, but also to a major Pure Yang sect, Tianlian Valley.

"There's no need to rush along the way. If we encounter any demonic calamities, we can deal with them as we go."

Killing demons is a meritorious act.

They were all recruited by the sect this time with the requirement of meritorious service.

Qin Hao is known as a true disciple of two major schools, and has many channels to access knowledge.

However, the merits he needs to accomplish are also several times greater than those of others.

Odd-jobs, outer disciples, inner disciples, elites, core members, true disciples, holy sons.

The higher the level, the more merit points are required.

Qin Hao was a true disciple of both sects, and the required merits were extremely high.

Moreover, the merits gained from killing demons earlier do not count.

Otherwise, his previous killing of demons in the third and fourth realms would have already accomplished most of his merits.

For disciples of each level, the merit points they receive for completing tasks are calculated according to their strength.

In other words, if he completes the same task in the second realm, he will receive much more merit points than if he completes it in the third realm.

He was still in the second realm at the time, yet he killed someone in the third realm.

It even used a clone to kill someone in the fourth realm.

The number of those merits is unknown.

This may seem unfair, but it is actually fair.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

The stronger one is, the more responsibility one naturally needs to shoulder.

At this moment, in Chaozhou, the Danyang Sect's demon-suppressing team is on a mission.

Judging from their appearance, things weren't going very well.

"Senior Sister, what should we do?"

With pursuers behind them and even greater difficulties and dangers ahead, the situation was dire.

Yuwen Anna was also at a loss and confused.

They came from the Danyang Sect and were considered its elite disciples.

Originally, the purpose of leaving the mountain was to suppress demons, gain experience, and incidentally earn resources to support cultivation.

The Danyang Sect is only a second-rate sect, and it has a Supreme Leader who is at the fourth level.

The sect leader is also close to the fourth realm, and is at the peak of the third realm.

It can be said that the future of the Danyang School is also promising, as long as it develops gradually.

Once the Supreme Sect Leader advances to Yang God, or once the Sect Leader advances to Primordial Spirit, along with several elders, it is possible for them to break through to Primordial Spirit in the future.

Perhaps then the Danyang Sect will be promoted to a first-class sect.

As for Pure Yang, forget about it.

Everyone in the martial arts world knows that achieving the Pure Yang realm is a must.

Their lineage must be that of direct descendants of the Taoist school.

It's highly unlikely that someone from an unorthodox background will be promoted.

It lacks depth and substance.

Neither the methods, secret techniques, nor the resources are supported. The Danyang Sect is supposedly of some origin, but its origins are obscure and it is not recognized by its founder.

For them, being a top-tier sect was their ultimate goal.

But this endpoint is far away, though it is within sight.

Unexpectedly, a demonic calamity erupted.

The Danyang School was also inevitably affected.

These elite disciples also had to go out and find opportunities and earn resources on their own.

Of course, this was all voluntary for them.

Resources within the sect are limited. If we don't seek external channels, it will be extremely difficult to advance further.

Unfortunately, everything was fine before.

They also accomplished many tasks and acquired a lot of resources.

Originally, after completing their mission, they planned to return to the mountain gate to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time, and then make other plans once their cultivation had improved further.

Unexpectedly, news came from Jinzhou that a large demon nest had taken shape there.

The demonic disaster was about to intensify.

The Great Xia Dynasty had no choice but to issue a conscription order.

They received news from the sect and went to Xiaoyao Prefecture to collect mission tokens, as well as supplies of pills and magical artifacts.

Each cultivator can receive a supply based on their own strength.

The greater the pressure, the more supplies you receive.

This is also relative.

Who knew, I casually accepted a task, intending to complete it along the way.

Then we arrived at Xiaoyao Prefecture.

At this point, they discovered that the mission was a trap.

The demons they had just slaughtered were only at the first level; they had also discovered a secret within them.

But, within this secret...

They also saw demons from the third and even fourth realms.

Fortunately, they escaped quickly, and for some reason, the other side did not pursue them, but instead sent a third-realm demon with a group of second-realm demons to chase after them.

However, even their most powerful senior sister, Yuwen Anna, was only at the peak of the second realm.

In a second-rate sect, this is already considered extremely fast cultivation.

However, they were no match for the demons of the third realm.

"How to do?"

Their speed is getting slower and slower.

Yuwen Anna also knew that once they stopped, all hope would be lost.

However, many of his fellow disciples were already close to being pounced on by the saber-toothed tiger.

She brought these junior brothers and sisters out with her; if she let them...

Yuwen Anna couldn't bear to think about that scene, nor could she bear to.

"Let's go find a place first, and then we'll form a battle formation and wait."

Yuwen Anna was helpless; in fact, she herself was not confident that even if she tried to escape alone, she would not be able to get away.

They had already used up most of the talismans they had on them.

The Danyang School still has its own unique characteristics in alchemy and talisman making.

However, their strength is not comparable to those of top-tier sects, let alone Chunyang.

This is the power of inheritance.

However, the Danyang School has already been selecting the best among the best and optimizing its own methods.

This time, they were able to protect themselves by using the large number of talismans they carried.

However, several fellow disciples had to perish together with the demons to cover for them.

But a large number of demons still rushed out and relentlessly pursued them.

That secret is important; they must survive.

“But, Senior Sister…” a junior brother said.

But before he could speak, Yuwen Anna stopped him.

"No need to say anything, I know what you want to say. As your senior sister, I brought you out, so naturally I can't escape alone."

"But, Senior Sister, the secret we've discovered must be taken out of the country. Otherwise, the Great Xia Dynasty and the Qianyang Realm will be impacted. And what will happen to us..." a junior brother shouted.

That is why the junior brothers, even when covering their retreat, were determined to get them out.

"No need to say anything, come with me."

Yuwen Anna led a group of junior brothers and sisters to a valley. A smile finally appeared on Yuwen Anna's face: "Alright, quickly set up the Danyang Grand Formation. Delay will only lead to unforeseen changes."

She led her fellow disciples in setting up the main formation for the Danyang Sect.

The Danyang Sect is famous for its alchemy, and the Danyang Grand Array played an indispensable role in this.

This thing can absorb a trace of the essence of the sun's true fire, increasing the temperature of the flame and also improving its purity.

It can be used for alchemy, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

Among the Danyang Sect members, there was a female cultivator whose strength was only at the initial stage of the second realm.

She also came along to gain experience this time.

Who knew this trip would turn out like this?

She was also someone who was taken care of by her fellow senior brothers and sisters, and she originally wanted to cover the rear herself.

This was because the family had previously sent some resources, including many powerful magical artifacts and talismans.

She kept the magical artifacts for herself. These things, without undergoing a long period of refinement to become her own magical artifacts, could not be used in the short term.

But she took out the talisman.

It was precisely because of these powerful talismans that a group of people were able to escape.

However, most of these talismans have already been used, and there aren't many left.

"Junior Sister Qin Lan, what are you thinking about?"

Yuwen Anna looked at her junior sister.

Originally, this junior sister was unassuming and came from an unremarkable family. Although she was beautiful, many of her fellow disciples pursued her.

However, Qin Lan is an independent and self-reliant person who never uses her beauty to please others or gain resources.

Her progress was not fast.

As for the sects themselves, an individual's background doesn't matter as long as they aren't too strong.

For example, those from noble families or those from wealthy banks like Futong Money Shop.

Without sufficient resources and connections, people don't really value them.

Although Qin Lan is the eldest granddaughter of the Marquis of Anyuan's family, the Marquis of Anyuan's family is not wealthy and lacks strength.

Within the sect, Qin Lan's background is really not impressive.

Fortunately, Qin Lan is not someone who relies on her family background.

Just a few days ago, when they set off for Xiaoyao Prefecture, they passed through Chaozhou, and people from Futong Money Shop came to them, saying that the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion and the Shenyong Marquis's Mansion had sent a batch of resources.

Besides those used for cultivation, there were also a bunch of various magical artifacts and treasures, as well as some talismans and elixirs.

This is comprehensive support for her spiritual practice.

Even if someone is less qualified, they can still amass a large following by accumulating resources.

Many of his fellow apprentices were envious.

Everyone has heard about the situation of the Divine Warrior.

It's just that I didn't put her together with Qin Lan before.

That's a true disciple of the Heavenly Refinement Valley.

He rose to fame in the battle at the Cangling Secret Realm.

Leaving aside his identity as the Dragon King of Pengze Lake, and the fact that he is protected by guards from the Fourth Realm.

Not to mention his powerful seven-colored dragon clone.

It is said that Qin Hao's seven-colored dragon clone has already reached the third realm, and it is following the path of innate gods and demons, making its combat power unparalleled.

It is said that even at the peak of the third realm, the opponent can put up a fight.

Qin Hao himself is extremely strong.

Moreover, he was a powerful figure who earned his title through his own efforts.

He is Qin Lan's younger brother.

At this moment, Yuwen Anna desperately hoped that if Qin Lan still had the life-saving item Qin Hao had given her, then their journey would have a chance.

Hope for survival.

Qin Lan said, "I've taken out most of the talismans my brother gave me. There are only a few Five Elements Protection Talismans left, which are said to be very powerful, but I don't know exactly how powerful. I'll take them out now, Senior Sister, you should take them. If things get bad, Senior Sister should run for your own life. We can die, but the message must be sent out."

As she spoke, Qin Lan took out several talismans, and at a glance, she could tell that the talismans on the spot were of very good quality.

“A talisman of the third realm, and extremely sophisticated.” Yuwen Anna recognized it at a glance: the Five Elements Dao, used for defense, endlessly regenerating.

Yuwen Anna could only manage a wry smile: "It's practically impossible to escape with just a few talismans. They won't let us get away, not to mention those who collude with the demons. Right now, they just don't want our sect or even the imperial court to find out about our involvement after we die. But if I think I can just leave with a few talismans, I'm afraid that won't work."

She was somewhat disappointed; if this was Qin Lan's only backup plan, then things would be difficult.

Yuwen Anna's eyes sharpened, and she said firmly, "But if things really don't work out, we'll scatter. As long as one of us can escape, that's one less chance. As long as we can get the message out, then we'll have died a worthy death."

Qin Lan also felt a pang of sadness, but then she seemed to remember something and said, "Wait, I remember now."

Previously, when my family had something delivered, they mentioned it.

My younger brother set up the Heavenly Net in Qinghe Bay and sent over a few wristbands, which are magical artifacts for logging into the Heavenly Net.

I'll try to see if Skynet can break through their blockade.

There are only a few ways for cultivators to send messages.

Firstly, they relied on communication with each other, using paper cranes to carry messages.

Secondly, they relied on celestial phenomena or terrestrial veins to transmit the message.

As for things like sending messages by carrier pigeon, those also existed.

But surrounded and restricted, they had no way out.

Previously, they had tried all methods, but they were unable to contact the sect or send out a distress signal.

They were like mice being toyed with by a cat, left only to wait for their deaths.

However, there is another method in the Qianyang Realm for transmitting messages.

That's Skynet.

Each major sect of the Pure Yang School has its own Heavenly Network, making them incredibly well-informed.

Events occurring in various parts of the Qianyang Realm can be transmitted to all places in an instant.

"Give it a try!" Yuwen Anna felt a glimmer of hope.

Although this Heavenly Net seems to have been built by Qin Hao himself, it has the foundation of the Chunyang Sect.

Maybe we can get in touch with them?

Qin Lan immediately took out several wristbands and handed them to Yuwen Anna and her fellow disciples: "After I get them, we'll set off for the mission. I didn't even think about it."

Immediately, the group refined the wristbands and began to try them out.

"No, the demon pursuers are coming."

"Take precautions immediately."

"Junior Sister Qin Lan, go to the back and try. If it doesn't work, keep this talisman for yourself. Take advantage of the chaos and run away."

Yuwen Anna's smile at this moment had become somewhat bitter.

A hint of sadness crept in.

Qin Lan had no choice; she knew she had to do something.

Otherwise, all of these fellow disciples would have died without a burial place.

At this moment, Qin Hao, riding the Star-Guiding Boat, had already arrived near Xiaoyao Prefecture.

Suddenly, a message came from Second Life.

Qin Hao was taken aback: "An urgent message from my eldest cousin?"

He sparred a bit of his attention to enter his second life and instantly received the message.

He immediately teleported, and in his second life, he had already arrived in Chaozhou.

"Big cousin, what happened?"

"Little brother?" Qin Lan was a little stunned. How did he suddenly appear in front of her?

But she quickly realized what was happening: "Why are you here? Quick, help us get help! We..."

In fact, he already knew what was going on without his older cousin having to say anything more.

"How dare you lay a hand on my sister! Stay here!" (End of Chapter)
