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

"Guo Jing, are you really leaving?"

Hua Zheng was a little hesitant.

This was the first time in so many years that she had done this.

How could a daughter of the grasslands be so coy?

It's just that I haven't met the person I like yet.

Guo Jing pursed his lips; even now, he didn't quite understand.

Back then, he didn't accept the golden knife, but in the end, Hua Zheng's father still forced it on him.

Of course, Guo Jing wanted to return Hua Zheng several times later.

But all Hua Zheng knew was how to cry.

Guo Jing was somewhat confused, and when he pressed for an answer, he only received the reply of a fool.

Guo Jing scratched the back of his head: "My seven masters have made an appointment, and I must keep it."

The promise made eighteen years ago has now come to an end.

The Seven Heroes of Jiangnan were waiting not far away; they too would return to the Central Plains and travel with Guo Jing for a while.

Then let Guo Jing go out and make his own way.

"Jing'er, it's almost time."

Han Xiaoying called out from a distance; her husband, Zhang Asheng, was beside her.

Because of Qin Hao's arrival, who scared away the Black Wind Duo with a single word, Zhang Asheng did not die here.

"coming."

Guo Jing responded and said to Hua Zheng, "I'm leaving."

"Will you come back?"

"Go back, my mother is still here." Guo Jing's reply made Hua Zheng curse him as an idiot under her breath again.

However, Hua Zheng then seemed to realize something and a smile appeared on her face.

That's true, Aunt Li is still here, how could Guo Jing leave?

He will eventually come back; after all, he is the Golden Knife Prince Consort.

Watching Guo Jing leave, Hua Zheng followed him for a very long time, until he was completely out of sight, but she still refused to leave.

"He's also a devoted lover."

Qin Hao stood on the mountaintop, watching the group of people leaving below.

Suddenly, he spoke.

The simple-minded girl shook her head: "But, young master. We're already planning to form a sect alliance, so why not..."

She looked at the large tent in the distance; over the years, Genghis Khan's military strength had grown stronger and stronger.

It's not that Genghis Khan knew martial arts.

Rather, it's the strength of his subordinates.

Jebe ultimately could not escape his fate. Once a talent targeted by Genghis Khan, how could he possibly escape as long as he remained in the desert?
Unless he doesn't want to live anymore, as long as he still wants to live.

Ultimately, compromise is still necessary.

At this moment, Jebe was also by Genghis Khan's side, watching Guo Jing leave from afar.

"Sweat profusely."

Genghis Khan shook his head: "No need to say anything."

Of course he knew that Guo Jing was very capable and talented.

His seven masters were also very powerful.

But those seven masters would never submit.

They have the ability to take the enemy's head from among thousands of soldiers.

Although they themselves may also fall into it.

Once provoked, it will be detrimental to oneself.

He turned to look at the tent where Li Ping was, and then smiled, "With parents around, there will eventually be a way home. He will come back sooner or later."

Genghis Khan was not in a hurry; he had been lying low for so many years.

Even the Sixth Prince of the Great Jin Kingdom spent the New Year in seclusion, biding his time and enduring hardship.

He doesn't mind waiting a few more years.

"Let's go."

On the mountain.

Qin Hao shook his head.

Genghis Khan was also a ruthless and ambitious figure; he needed to be mobilized to create opportunities.

Change always involves bloodshed.

Although he possessed power, he did not wish to overthrow the world's dynasties solely through force.

Ultimately, we need to get them moving on their own.

Only then will it be legitimate.

Although he told Ma Yu that he was acting on behalf of Heaven to enforce the law, he knew the true nature of this world.

Moreover, directly instigating war would bring far too much negative consequences.

Instead, they followed the trend of the times and waited for the Three Kingdoms war to begin.

If he were to bring the Quanzhen Sect out of seclusion again, he could actually gain a share of the power of sainthood.

Those who have done good deeds for Heaven and Earth are said to have merit and virtue.

To educate and enlighten all beings, and to awaken their boundless wisdom, is called morality.

Leading all beings forward, establishing order, and uniting all beings in one mind—this is the essence of sainthood.

The descendants inherit the virtues left by their ancestors; this is called unseen virtue.

By conforming to the will of the people, cultivating one's character, doing good for oneself, and benefiting all under heaven, one's fortune will be long-lasting; this is true blessing.

This is what is called the Five Virtues of Nature.

He didn't necessarily need to cultivate the Five Virtues of Nature, but possessing this power wouldn't do him any harm.

Besides, he didn't want to get involved in the power struggle between dynasties; it would be too much trouble.

They remain behind the scenes, nurturing talent.

It's good to let these people jump around in front of the camera and do things for us.

"But young master, what will happen here if we leave?"

Silly Girl has often gone down the mountain over the years, either to buy some things or to look for Guo Jing.

He would occasionally go to Li Ping for a chat.

But she still prefers the mountains.

There is endless starlight here.

There are many things here that she likes.

If you leave suddenly, what about here?

Qin Hao smiled, turned around, and said, "That's easy."

He simply waved his hand, and then the starlight gathered together, as if it were all eager to surround him and crawl into Qin Hao's hand.

"this?"

Silly Girl was startled and saw that the manor, as well as the starlight grass and starlight vines next to it, all shrank and then poured into Qin Hao's body.

A landscape painting was unfolded in front of him.

All those things poured into the scroll.

"How can this be?"

Silly Girl couldn't believe that the place where she usually lived was actually a scroll of painting.
Of course not, it's just that over the years, he has created a landscape painting.

Although it's only a top-grade treasure, it's still quite a bit short of being a Dao artifact.

But they are rare indeed.

He had long since refined the manor where he had lived for many years.

I was just adding this area to the landscape painting and taking it with me.

This landscape painting is just a little short of being upgraded to a Dao artifact.

"what?"

After taking over the manor, Qin Hao originally planned to leave immediately.

At this moment, however, he looked directly down into what was originally the manor.

"Young master, what's wrong?" Silly girl couldn't tell. Although she had already advanced to the Innate Realm, she didn't understand the matter of earth veins.

Qin Hao laughed and said, "People often say that the places where ancient sages lived were always haunted by supernatural phenomena. It seems there is some truth to that."

The silly girl laughed: "Young master, how can you praise yourself like that?"

He paused, then added, "However, since you are a banished immortal, it's not wrong to say that."

She didn't understand Qin Hao's words, but she felt they made sense.

Qin Hao shook his head: "Sense the spiritual energy around you."

Silly Girl was taken aback, and then, after a closer look, she realized that something was amiss.

"Here? No, there are no more Starlight Grass and Starlight Vine here, so why are they here?"

"Let's go."

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Someone is coming."

Although it was still far away, Qin Hao didn't want to run into these people.

He never expected that he would create a secret realm here, cultivating many starlight grasses and starlight vines to transform the power of stars.

His main task was to create a secret realm in preparation for cultivating a blessed land in the future.

This process also has a good promoting effect on the innate divine and demonic path of the seven-colored dragon's avatar.

Qin Hao felt that the Seven-Colored Dragon's blessed land was about to advance.

Unexpectedly, this also led to the creation of a small spiritual vein underground.

Well, I should say extremely small.

Even if they dug it all out, they probably wouldn't find a single spirit stone.

The spiritual energy is too low.

But what is this place?
This is a low-level martial arts world.

Once you occupy this area, just wait patiently, and sooner or later a miniature spiritual vein will form.

If you don't dig it open, don't destroy the token.

It's only used to train martial artists.

It can speed things up considerably.

Qin Hao originally wanted to destroy it, but after thinking about it, he stopped.

Perhaps this world also hopes to cultivate more advanced martial artists.

Moreover, damaging the earth's veins is detrimental to the world.

This diminishes one's merit.

Of course, if it is a well-formed spiritual vein, reasonable mining is fine.

However, it also diminishes one's merit.

It just doesn't affect one's good fortune.

However, blatantly destroying spiritual veins will also be hated by the world.

This is also why cultivators who cultivate the final stage of their life, the calamity stage, or the destruction stage often face numerous tribulations themselves.

If you fail to survive even once, you will die and your soul will perish.

"No wonder most cultivators still choose to cultivate the Chan (elucidation) rather than the Jie (intercepting)."

Of course, it's too early to say what path they will take.

That is the great path of the sages.

Qin Hao left with the silly girl, and not long after, someone appeared here.

Qin Hao turned around and saw several people. He knew that these people were all Genghis Khan's subordinates and retainers.

More than half an hour later, Genghis Khan arrived.

Looking at this bare, flat piece of land, I felt a little strange.

"Great Khan, this is an auspicious sign from heaven!"

May the Eternal Heaven protect us.

Genghis Khan nodded and inquired carefully. An old man dressed as a shaman looked at Genghis Khan with a gaze that had changed from respect to reverence.

"Great Khan, this is a blessing from the Eternal Heaven. This place is the beginning of a blessed land."

Ok?
After careful inquiry, Genghis Khan learned that this place possessed some kind of mysterious power.

Martial artists can achieve twice the results with half the effort by training here.

Although battles between nations are clashes of large armies.

But if the vanguard are all martial artists.

The strength of this army will also increase exponentially.

"Alright, this place is top secret. Deploy a team to guard this area. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Unless they have my token, they will be killed on sight."

As expected of a great leader, Genghis Khan had already decided on the use of this place in a very short time.

"Young master, what are you looking at?"

"Silly Girl asked."

At this moment, the two had already arrived outside Li Ping's tent.

Li Ping hurriedly came out to greet him: "Taoist Master."

Eighteen years have passed, and this Taoist priest is still as young as when we first met.

Li Ping sometimes wondered if this Taoist priest was some kind of ancient monster who could regain his youth.

But thinking back to when I first saw Qin Hao, he was just a young man not yet twenty.

He truly deserves to be called a banished immortal.

Qin Hao nodded, without answering the silly girl's question.

But actually, Silly Girl also had feelings.

She felt a surge of anger; the place where she had lived for so many years was her home.

As a result, it was taken by someone else. She didn't understand why the young master would let someone else take it.

She knew that the young master was capable of setting up formations.

Qin Hao, however, had no intention of interfering.

The world has begun to react.

In the past eighteen years, Qin Hao has only created two secret realms.

One is here, and the other is in Zhongnan Mountain.

This was just something he casually put together, far less than the resources invested in Zhongnan Mountain.

But there are also a great many.

Although Qin Hao took away most of the essence, leaving only a little residue.

But these remnants are invaluable treasures to people in a low-level martial arts world.

This is like the slag in an immortal's alchemy furnace; even for ordinary cultivators, it could be an invaluable treasure.

The world wants to cultivate more high-level martial artists, as this is essential for the world's advancement.

Besides resources, there is also culture, both of which are essential for global advancement.

Qin Hao understood somewhat.

This also provided him with great inspiration for his arrangements in the Qianyang Realm.

Qin Hao nodded and asked Li Ping, "Is Madam ready?"

In reality, Li Ping had planned to bring Guo Jing back to the Central Plains many years ago.

They were still people from the Central Plains after all, even though they were very disappointed with the Song Dynasty.

But I also hope to return to my hometown.

Especially after Qin Hao had already pointed out Genghis Khan's ambitions to Li Ping.

Actually, Li Ping is a very smart woman, and she is not unaware of this.

Li Ping knew that Guo Jing was very talented, and Genghis Khan would not let go of such an excellent fighter.

Without help, Li Ping wouldn't be able to escape.

She naturally wouldn't move.

However, in the original novel, when Li Ping learned that Genghis Khan intended to use her to threaten Guo Jing, she immediately committed suicide so that Guo Jing could escape.

With Qin Hao's help, Li Ping is not afraid at all.

How could a banished immortal not be able to take her away?
The reason I didn't tell Guo Jing was because Guo Jing was too sentimental.

Fearing that Guo Jing might reveal his thoughts to Hua Zheng.

That girl.

Li Ping liked him, but unfortunately he wasn't a daughter of the Central Plains.

Li Ping nodded: "Daoist Master, I've prepared everything. The things here..."

She hesitated for a moment; after all, it was something she had acquired over many years, and it would be a great pity to throw it away.

Although in the beginning, Qin Hao provided the money and helped her purchase cattle and sheep.

But now, after eighteen years, she has acquired a lot.

Moreover, these were all prepared by her for Guo Jing to use when he gets married in the future.

Qin Hao laughed and said, "Silly girl, give Madam a gourd and tell her to put everything away. As for the cattle and sheep?"

While Li Ping was still in a daze, the silly girl had already taken out a gourd and asked Li Ping to drip her blood to signify ownership.

This was the first time she had ever received an item from an immortal—the sun and moon contained within a gourd—which left her speechless with awe.

After a long pause, Li Ping asked with some concern, "Such a valuable item?"

The silly girl was puzzled: "Madam, it's not valuable. It's just a gourd seed that the young master casually threw away, and a gourd vine that grew randomly in a corner. Every year, it produces at least several hundred gourds. Now, there are at least several thousand gourds on that vine; it could be called a gourd cliff. And this is after I've picked a lot of them and stored them in the warehouse."

Silly Girl didn't know much about the outside world, although she knew in her heart that this thing was very precious to ordinary people.

But Li Ping is Guo Jing's mother, and Guo Jing is the young master's apprentice.

Those are our own people, what's there to be afraid of?
It took Li Ping a while to realize that she had already taken it, so she should just be grateful.

After tidying everything up, Li Ping even slaughtered cattle and sheep and stored the meat in gourds in order to gain Qin Hao's approval.

Anyway, it keeps things fresh here, so we can keep it and eat it slowly.

She also learned some martial arts from the silly girl, although she was only at the peak of the third rank and couldn't compare to the silly girl.

But killing some cattle and sheep is not a problem.

But what if we kill all the cattle and sheep and then other people come to visit?
Night falls, and starlight descends.

Qin Hao opened his eyes and got up.

Li Ping and Sha Gu have already eaten, and Qin Hao is now able to abstain from grains.

He doesn't plan to eat much unless it's something really delicious.

Eating some spiritual fruit and drinking some spiritual spring water every day is enough.

"Let's go."

These tents don't need to be collected.

Staying here can also help to mislead Genghis Khan and his men.

Silly Girl and Li Ping followed them out and saw Qin Hao wave his hand.

A horse-drawn carriage appeared.

The horses pulling the cart were over two meters tall.

Over the years, Li Ping has seen many fine horses raised by the grassland people in the desert.

Guo Jing had a chestnut horse, a rare and precious Akhal-Teke steed.

But that horse was nothing compared to the horses pulling the cart in front of them.

This?
He truly is a banished immortal.

Li Ping stepped forward and said, "Taoist Master, please get in the carriage. This time, I will drive the carriage."

Compared to eighteen years ago, Li Ping has not only mastered martial arts, but has also reached the peak of the third rank, just one step away from advancing to the second rank.

She is also very familiar with cattle and horses.

Driving a horse-drawn carriage was a simple task for her.

Qin Hao didn't say much.

He climbed the steps, and the silly girl had already opened the carriage door. Qin Hao went inside.

Silly Girl and Li Ping sat outside, and the two of them drove the carriage together.

Li Ping took one last look at the place where she and Guo Jing had lived for eighteen years, and, suppressing her reluctance, decided to leave.

Then she witnessed a shocking scene.

One by one, cattle and sheep appeared, and then a middle-aged woman came out of the tent to gather them together.

This?
Li Ping could see clearly that the middle-aged woman was herself.

"It's just a mere illusion, enough to cover our tracks. Otherwise, Hua Zheng will arrive and reveal our location."

Hua Zheng was deeply in love with Guo Jing and also held Li Ping in high esteem.

But she wouldn't let Li Ping leave; she knew that Guo Jing would only return if Li Ping was there.

"drive."

Li Ping simply gave a soft shout, and the horses pulling the carriage automatically began to walk, gradually accelerating, and then pulling the carriage forward at an extremely fast speed, as if walking on flat ground.

This?
This is definitely not an ordinary horse.

This is certainly no ordinary horse; it is a horned horse that Qin Hao obtained in the Qianyang Realm, possessing the bloodline of a dragon.

However, they are all of the lowest grade, with their bloodlines downgraded.

This world cannot yet accommodate a dragon bloodline of too high a level.

"It seems there's an opportunity outside Xiangyang City. We can cultivate it gradually."

Bodhi snake.

Qin Hao remembered that this was the opportunity that Yang Guo, the Condor Hero, would have decades later.

He doesn't need much; just some seeds will suffice.

A figure left Qin Hao's body.

This is the past self.

The future self has already gone to Zhongnan Mountain and created a secret realm.

The past body has been conceived for several years.

In recent years, he has been stationed here himself, letting his former colleagues leave to work in various places.

Leaving aside their situation, Guo Jing and the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan also traveled as fast as they could when they left the desert.

More than a month later, they finally left the desert.

"Jing'er, your experience in fighting enemies is still not rich enough."

"Although we have been training you, your own internal strength is extremely high, and your moves are very skillful."

Okay, they couldn't continue.

Guo Jing's strength is now at the peak of the first-class level, and he is in no way inferior to them.

Even in a life-or-death struggle, he might not be as good as Guo Jing.

After all, Guo Jing had a protective gourd given to him by his junior uncle from the Quanzhen Sect.

Even if they used all their strength, they probably couldn't break through.

"Forget it, you don't have enough experience in the martial world. Go and travel around on your own. When the time comes, come to the Misty Rain Pavilion in Jiaxing, Jiangnan. This duel still needs to be formalized."

Since we made an appointment, we naturally couldn't back out.

Although the martial uncle and martial nephew fought each other, Yang Kang was basically incomparable.

Guo Jing naturally agreed.

Although he was reluctant, he knew what he had to do.

The next day, Hua Zheng arrived at Guo Jing and Li Ping's tent.

"Auntie, the future is in your hands."

Li Ping came out of the tent, carrying tools in her hands.

"Hua Zheng, I'm going to shear sheep."

"Auntie, let me help you."

Hua Zheng smiled and stepped forward, walking towards the sheepfold with Li Ping.

They had no idea that this was just a mirage, nothing more than a reflection in a mirror or the moon in the water.

One day later.

Looking at the valley before him, he frowned: "Is this the place?"

He only knew this one piece of information about the woods outside Xiangyang City.

There was also a strange bird.

"Never mind, let's go to Xiangyang City to gather some information first."

It's not impossible to search inch by inch.

However, the past self did not intend to waste too much time.

It's just a matter of spending some money; he has plenty of that.

Once inside the city, he spent only a few pieces of silver to gather some information and had someone take him to the place where the strange snake had appeared.

Peach Blossom Island.

Huang Yaoshi looked at the letter in his hand and sighed.

Feng Heng brought out a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Rong'er is just a little mischievous."

Huang Yaoshi sighed helplessly: "It's more than just being naughty. At such a young age, he hasn't even mastered martial arts, yet he presumptuously claimed to have accepted my mission and was going out to make his way in the world."

Feng Heng looked at Huang Yaoshi speechlessly: "Don't deceive her, you're deceiving yourself too."

cough cough cough.

Huang Yaoshi almost choked. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said, "I didn't lie to her. She wanted to go out on her own."

Feng Heng, however, was somewhat worried: "Brother Hao said that Rong'er is destined for marriage, but I wonder what my future son-in-law will be like."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yaoshi became angry: "If it weren't for..."

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Heng's big eyes stared at him, and he suppressed his roar.

Feng Heng added, "Alright, why don't you go and bring your own disciples back? Someone has to step in. When Rong'er goes out, they'll help take care of them."

Huang Yaoshi had no choice but to nod.

He was still thinking about the sect alliance plan that Ma Yu proposed when he came here ten years ago.

Over the past decade.

Qin Hao visited once before and upgraded Peach Blossom Island.

Not only did they strengthen the formation on Peach Blossom Island, but they also planted many spiritual herbs there.

Huang Yaoshi was overjoyed, as he had been studying these things for years.

Some people have overlooked Huang Rong.

Previously, Huang Rong had looked for him, but he ignored her. His daughter got jealous and, in a fit of girlish whims, ran away from home.

Of course, he was also going with the flow.

This was because Qin Hao had sent a letter saying that the time had come and things were about to change.

Huang Rong is also part of the great calamity and needs to step forward to continue the ordeal.

Moreover, Huang Rong is a perfect match for Qin Hao's apprentice, Guo Jing, as she is destined for love.

Huang Yaoshi was unwilling at the time.

Guo Jing is a dull-witted boy; he wouldn't be willing to part with him.

But Feng Heng was willing.

Feng Heng's considerations were actually quite simple.

Qin Hao is a celestial being, and if Huang Rong truly wishes, she is destined to be with Guo Jing.

She likes it too.

Qin Hao promised not to take the initiative to intervene, leaving everything to Huang Rong's discretion.

"I don't know where Rong'er is now."

A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles. (End of Chapter)
