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

Upon obtaining the "Qilin Picture," Hong Qigong considered it a priceless treasure.

This thing also came with a picture, but Hong Qigong didn't know what it was for.

The qilin on top is so lifelike that it's clear at a glance that it's no ordinary object.

It actually looks like a real Qilin.

But do such mythical beasts exist in the world?
Alright, this celestial being before us, well, he's a powerful figure about to ascend to immortality.

There should be a Qilin too, right?
Following that, there are also corresponding martial arts techniques.

Qin Hao said, "This martial arts method, when cultivated to the end, can condense the Qilin Dharma Image, which can be regarded as the most excellent level among martial arts techniques."

This isn't just Qin Hao making things up.

This thing was originally something Qin Hao plundered from the Qianyang Realm.

In the beginning, mythical beasts ruled the land, and humans did not yet know how to cultivate.

Later, the human race gradually explored and imitated the various divine beasts, creating these martial arts methods.

Later, when sages spread their teachings, these methods were not eliminated.

However, there are fewer people practicing cultivation now.

But this will not affect the quality of the technique in the slightest.

Most of the versions circulating among the people are not very complete; the one Qin Hao has is one he obtained from the Xiaoyao Cave.

You can refer to this guide from the very beginning, from laying the foundation to reaching the peak of the fourth realm.

As for the cultivation techniques after reaching the Immortal Realm, they will need to comprehend them themselves from the Qilin Diagram.

Qin Hao can't help with this for the time being.

After all, he himself did not possess any cultivation techniques from the Immortal Realm.

As for the cultivation techniques of the Devouring Star World, they still seem a bit crude.

There are rules to follow, but you have to walk that path yourself.

For those geniuses, it's just a bit of a hassle.

But for those with mediocre talent, it can be quite troublesome.

However, Hong Qigong's aptitude is quite good, so he might be able to complete the task himself.

At that time, even if we don't establish a new sect, at least maintaining the Beggars' Sect will be no problem.

As for whether the Beggars' Sect can be promoted to a celestial sect, that depends on subsequent developments.

Upon seeing the accompanying martial arts manual for the Qilin Diagram, Hong Qigong immediately became engrossed in it.

Qin Hao led Guo Jing and Huang Rong out and said to them, "Alright, next, I'm going to go with Seventh Brother to find the address of the Central Qilin Cave."

Then there wasn't much time left.

Since you two are going out to gain experience, I won't be attending the competition at the Misty Rain Pavilion in Jiaxing.

"Yes, but if you encounter the old poison master and he uses venomous snakes, you should summon the golden eagle."

Qin Hao originally intended to send the two away directly, but after thinking about it, he realized that the old poisoner seemed to have ill intentions.

Qin Hao then planned to have Guo Jing summon the golden eagle, which is the natural enemy of poisonous snakes.

Moreover, the golden eagle has already reached its innate limit, and even an old poisonous creature is no match for it.

Actually, there are other ways to summon law enforcement warriors.

However, Qin Hao has no intention of revealing this matter for the time being.

The things I want to do still need to be planned out gradually.

The sect alliance still needs time to develop.

It must be said that even ants can crush an elephant.

Even the Five Great Masters are afraid of poisonous snakes.

Zhou Botong was the one who feared it the most.

Qin Hao couldn't say that Zhou Botong was incompetent, after all, everyone has their own weaknesses.

Guo Jing naturally agreed, and Qin Hao added, "In addition, you all need to hurry up with your cultivation. For example, Rong'er is confident in her talent, so she only practices sporadically. In other worlds, someone your age wouldn't even be considered a genius. Only those at the peak of the Innate Realm or above can barely be called geniuses."

Huang Rong's face froze for a moment; she realized that Uncle Qin no longer liked her.

Otherwise, why would you hurt her like that?

But then she immediately thought of the other worlds Qin Hao had mentioned.

"Uncle Qin, do you know about other worlds?"

"of course."

Qin Hao said, "I was about to ascend to immortality, but I split my soul into thousands to experience different worlds on the path to becoming an immortal."

When I was six years old, I realized the mystery of my birth and met your mother, and that's how we became siblings.

Your aptitude is quite good in this world, but this is ultimately a world that is not even as good as a minor world.

Your talent wouldn't even qualify you as a genius in the vast universe, so you must work hard.

As for resources, Uncle Qin will naturally help you plan them out.

Surely you wouldn't be so lazy as to not try, only to have Jing'er live forever while you're old and gray?

This?
If you were to say something else, Huang Rong probably wouldn't be too willing to listen.

But when it comes to Guo Jing, Huang Rong is a different story.

At this moment, her whole heart was focused on Guo Jing, thinking of her own gray hair and impending death.

Guo Jing would be all alone from then on.

She felt worried and distressed.

Qin Hao was speechless.

In addition, Huang Rong paid the most attention to appearance.

Which girl doesn't love to look pretty?
Now that she can live forever and stay young, she doesn't want to grow old.

"Uncle Qin, is it really possible to live forever and never age?"

"That's not difficult. There are many ways for cultivators to maintain their appearance."

For example, elixirs, talismans, all sorts of abilities can be achieved.

But the best solution is still to rely on one's own strength.

Cultivation leads to longevity; the stronger one's cultivation, the longer one's lifespan.

If you can ascend to immortality, then achieving eternal life and remaining unchanged in appearance will not be difficult at all.

Even, when cultivators reach the deepest levels, they can change their appearance, becoming naturally beautiful, with delicate eyebrows, white teeth, and a face as beautiful as the moon.

Aside from temperament, which is extremely difficult to change, one's outward appearance is also a factor.

Just as Buddhism says, it is nothing more than a physical body.

It is very simple for an immortal to change himself.

It can even start by changing at the cellular level, but of course, it requires slow, gradual changes over a long period of time.

As for the rapid transformation, that is the Seventy-Two Transformations, which belong to the Earthly Fiend Transformations.

Huang Rong immediately became interested when these two points were mentioned.

But Qin Hao still gave Guo Jing a word of advice: "You are the most resilient and you listen to your master. You must supervise your junior sister and make sure she doesn't slack off during her morning and evening lessons."

Huang Rong pouted, feeling that her master no longer liked her.

She didn't even trust herself, and actually let her brother Jing supervise her.

However, she quickly realized that her brother Jing would definitely listen to her.

But Qin Hao knew that Guo Jing listened to his master the most, and he also knew that Qin Hao's request was for Huang Rong's good.

Although he and Huang Rong had already established a relationship, the two were deeply in love.

But when it comes to matters of cultivation, Guo Jing will not relax.

I wonder if Huang Rong will be so angry she'll grit her teeth later?

Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh just thinking about it.

"Alright, it's getting late, you can set off now."

"Huh? Master, it's so late, are you sending us out?" Huang Rong looked at the dark outside.

Qin Hao said, "It's fine if we don't go. Anyway, we should set off after Seventh Brother wakes up."

Just then, Hong Qigong started howling.

Upon hearing this sound, Huang Rong immediately felt a pain in her ears.

It contains internal energy.

Guo Jing is doing well; he's already close to reaching the Innate Realm.

Seeing that Huang Rong was in trouble, Guo Jing quickly protected himself while patting Huang Rong's back to help her resist Hong Qigong's internal force attack.

This is considered the most primitive form of sound attack.

Seeing this, Qin Hao knew that Hong Qigong's cultivation had broken through and that he had seen the path ahead, so he was very excited.

Qin Hao smiled, knowing that Hong Qigong would be here for a while, but it was indeed quite difficult for Guo Jing and Huang Rong to resist him.

He took out his jade flute and played a calming melody.

This piece of music subtly echoes Hong Qigong's roar, and it is composed into a piece with the powerful sound of crashing waves.

Logically speaking, Qin Hao is actually more skilled at playing the guqin, but at this moment, he still took out the jade flute and played this piece.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong finally felt a little better.

However, they were all horrified inside.

They were all top-tier martial artists, yet they still reacted so strongly to Qi Gong's roar.

How powerful is Qi Gong's martial arts?

The master before them was only stronger.

Just how terrifying is its strength?
I'm afraid if she and Jing-gege just yelled a couple of times, they would faint.

After a while, Hong Qigong finally composed himself and came out refreshed, only to see Huang Rong looking at him with a wronged expression.

Hong Qigong was a little embarrassed and touched his nose: "Rong'er."

Huang Rong gave a soft snort, and with Guo Jing's reassurance, she was no longer angry.

Qin Hao immediately said, "Since Seventh Brother is ready, let's set off."

With a wave of his hand, a carriage appeared before him.

That wildebeest was clearly extremely powerful.

"Is this a thoroughbred horse?"

As for Qin Hao bringing a carriage with a wave of his hand, Hong Qigong wasn't surprised at all.

But deep down, I still admire it.

As expected of a banished immortal, even he doesn't know how he came up with such a method.

I don't know if it's a summons or the sun and moon within the pot.

Could there really be a world inside that gourd?
A grain of sand contains a world, a leaf contains a Bodhi tree—truly wondrous.

Hong Qigong boarded the carriage, and Qin Hao turned around and sent Guo Jing and Huang Rong away.

"Seventh Master and I are going. You may do as you please."

As Qin Hao spoke, he noticed Huang Rong's hesitant expression and then smiled, "When you two feel it's about time, Qi Gong and I will come to your door to propose marriage."

"Oh dear, Master," Huang Rong said shyly, stamping her foot.

Qin Hao looked bewildered: "What? You don't want to? Then forget it..."

"Then it's settled." Huang Rong quickly made the decision, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Qin Hao and Hong Qigong looking at her with mocking expressions.

This is intentional.

She ignored the two shameless old men.

Hong Qigong is quite old; he's shameless.

Qin Hao is practically an immortal; what else could he be but shameless old man?
"What impolite things are you thinking about with that little brain of yours?"

Qin Hao tapped Huang Rong's head out of thin air, making her shout a few more times.

However, at this moment, Qin Hao and Hong Qigong had already entered the carriage.

The wildebeest then started driving on its own.

In reality, it was Qin Hao who was using his divine soul to guide the route.

Guo Jing turned around and looked at Huang Rong, saying, "Rong'er."

Huang Rong thought Guo Jing wanted to have something private to say to her, and looked over with a curious expression.

As a result, the mood-killer Guo Jing immediately said in a serious tone, "Master instructed before he left that morning and evening prayers are essential. It's evening prayer time now, so we..."

"Brother Jing..."

He's just an idiot.

Over there, Qin Hao chatted with Hong Qigong: "Seventh Brother, you've grasped the basics of the Qilin Diagram. Afterwards, you can try to study the Qilin Diagram more. Most cultivators in the world study and visualize diagrams to create their own techniques. If you want to forge your own path..."

Hong Qigong nodded, then realized something: "So, this visualization diagram is the most important thing?"

Qin Hao affirmed, "Naturally, this visualization diagram is the most important. Reaching the Innate Realm and beyond involves the spirit to varying degrees, even the later primordial spirit. The visualization diagram is indispensable. If one can successfully visualize the diagram as early as possible, it will greatly benefit one's future path." "I understand. Thank you, Brother Qin."

The two walked and talked as they went.

Although Hong Qigong was just a person in the martial arts world, he also forged his own path in martial arts.

Although this road is short and not particularly dazzling.

But some of the points made are valid.

In most of the events, Qin Hao actually helped explain them.

Some basics of spiritual practice, some common sense about other worlds, and so on.

"The location of this Central Qilin Grotto is very important. I will plant a Qilin seed there. In the future, when the grotto is fully formed, it will give birth to a Qilin divine beast. This will be the guardian deity of the grotto and the protector of the sect."

Hong Qigong was also hearing about this for the first time, and while he was greatly surprised, he was also very eager to try it.

However, choosing this location was not so easy.

The two men drove their carriage for several months without finding a suitable place.

Finally, Qin Hao and he arrived in Xiangyang City.

Hong Qigong looked around and said, "How about we choose this place?"

Qin Hao warned, "This place? This is the gateway to the Great Song Dynasty. If there is any trouble between the Northern Desert and the Great Jin Dynasty, this place will be engulfed in war."

If the Beggars' Sect chooses this place, they can't avoid it.

The sect alliance is still underdeveloped; after all, even martial arts masters cannot compare to the military.

Even though the Song Dynasty was weak, it could still muster an army.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty was relatively weak against foreign powers, but it was extremely aggressive and ruthless towards its own people.

Duan Tiande's case serves as clear evidence.

However, Hong Qigong thought: "In the Central Plains martial arts world, which one can escape? My Beggars' Sect has the most members, so it is undoubtedly the most important."

Given this, his choice to guard the country's borders is not wrong.

Qin Hao thought about it and agreed. Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Thirty miles from here, there is a large mountain with a canyon inside. There are Bosqu snakes nearby. Eating the meat and gall of those Bosqu snakes can effectively enhance one's internal strength. If one can refine pills from them, the effect will be even stronger."

Hong Qigong's interest was piqued: "There are such good things?"

Hong Qigong immediately decided to go and take a look.

Although he originally planned to find a place in the city.

But thinking about it, it's better for the Beggars' Sect's headquarters to be outside the city.

The two immediately went to the valley again, and Hong Qigong fell in love with it instantly.

Not only is the scenery beautiful, but the place is also very large.

The forests here are pristine, making it very difficult for even a large army to attack.

As for burning it?

With proper measures, it's not impossible to prevent such incidents.

Besides, once Qin Hao's secret realm is complete, even if the outside is burned down, it won't be a problem.

The two searched around and finally found a pool of water near the valley, with another valley on the other side.

Hong Qigong took a liking to this place.

Qin Hao has no objection.

“That works, but the environment here will require a lot of manpower. Also, be careful of the Bodhi-Curved Serpent over there.”

These are exotic beasts, each one equivalent to a third-rate martial artist, and among them is a snake king who knows how to cooperate.

That snake king was close to first-rate.

As for whether any Snake Kings can reach the level of first-class martial artists, I don't know, but we should still be careful.

"Yes, also, there's a senior figure nearby, the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai from a hundred years ago. He left behind some legacies, and is guarded by a giant eagle."

Just then, a cry of an eagle rang out.

Before long, a divine eagle taller than a person appeared.

At this point, the eagle seemed to have almost become a spirit.

The hair on its body was no longer messy as it had been before, and it even shone with a faint glow.

It's much bigger than before.

"Brother Eagle."

Qin Hao naturally stepped forward to greet them, and the eagle flapped its wings in response.

Qin Hao said to the eagle, "From now on, this Seventh Brother will bring the Beggars' Clan to settle here. I'll have them help raise that Bodhi Serpent."

You may come here to hunt a few each day, but do not exhaust the resources, Brother Eagle, is that alright?

Hong Qigong was somewhat surprised, but upon reflection, it made sense.

This eagle looks very spirited.

He was also puzzled that this place was guarded by a divine eagle.

Does that mean the Divine Eagle is quite old?

I'd like to ask for more details later.

As for obtaining the Condor's consent, Hong Qigong didn't think it was a bad idea.

this is necessary.

This eagle is clearly a formidable creature; I'm afraid I might not be its match.

When it arrived, the eagle swung its wings and cut down a tree that was so thick that one person could barely hug it.

Even top-tier martial artists have to put in some effort.

Qin Hao quickly explained things to the Condor.

He then turned to Hong Qigong and said, "This place was originally Brother Diao's ranch. He has been consuming Bodhi snakes for many years, and his internal strength cultivation is far stronger than that of the Innate Realm. He also knows some of the swordsmanship of Senior Dugu Qiubai, and I have taught him some techniques before. Here, we can be considered neighbors, and Brother Diao can help you if you encounter any problems."

Hong Qigong is not one to sit still. If the Beggars' Sect doesn't have a strong leader in charge, it might not be able to hold on when problems arise.

After saying that, Brother Eagle left.

Qin Hao then explained the situation here to Hong Qigong.

He added, "Other factions don't have many members, but our Beggars' Sect has the most."

Qin Hao nodded. As for the dirty dealings within the Beggars' Sect, Qin Hao understood.

They will all need to be cleaned up in the future.

Next, Hong Qigong showed Qin Hao what it meant for the Beggars' Sect to have no shortage of people.

The beggars were dressed in simple, patched, or even large-hole clothes.

However, each of them seemed to possess some martial arts skills.

That's true, the Beggars' Sect also has its own inherited martial arts.

Aside from the Dog-Beating Stick Technique and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, which are only practiced by the sect leader,...

There is also a Dragon-Capturing Skill, which, besides its creator and Qiao Feng during the Northern Song Dynasty, was mastered by five other people.

Qin Hao guessed that the requirements were too high.

However, in a world of advanced martial arts, there should still be people who can learn it.

There is also the Free and Unfettered Palm Technique, which was created by Hong Qigong.

There are also a few other martial arts techniques, such as the Cloud-Dispelling Double Palms, which are not as good as the ones mentioned earlier, but are still quite good.

This is considered one of the more advanced martial arts techniques of the Beggars' Sect.

Some were newly initiated Beggar Clan disciples, and some had some rudimentary external martial arts techniques.

These are the people in front of me who were sent out on Qin Hao's orders.

On this day, there was no powerful tremor or earthquake.

But for some reason, something inexplicable happened.

Hong Qigong looked up, stretched out his hand, and felt that something was amiss: "This world seems even bigger?"

This "big" is not in a macro sense, nor is it an increase in spatial size.

Although this space will also grow slowly.

But this will take a long time, requiring the world to slowly absorb and refine the power of the void and the power of chaos.

This "big" is because the world has truly become bigger, and the upper limit has become higher.

Qin Hao nodded: "The foundation of the Northern Xuanwu Grotto-Heaven has been established, and the secret realm has been created. It can draw upon the power of the void outside the world and refine it into the power of this world. Therefore, the essence of this world has become stronger."

In fact, the sects in the Qianyang Realm have been doing these things all along.

Even the imperial courts of the Great Xia and Southern Chu were involved.

Even among noble families, who wouldn't want a secret realm, a blessed land, or even a grotto-heaven that belongs exclusively to their own family?

However, this is a rather difficult thing to do.

In addition, everyone needs to cultivate themselves, which involves absorbing and consuming a lot of resources.

So not many can actually be made to work.

The secret realm that Qin Hao just created is only a prototype; he wants to create a true grotto-heaven.

It's hard to say how long it will take.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult and requires a great deal of resources.

Qin Hao said he was creating a grotto-heaven for the five major sects, but it was really just the seed of a secret realm.

What happens next is up to them to work on.

In other words, the five colors and five directions can form a small cycle, which is beneficial to everyone.

Qin Hao also did not connect all the secret realms together, lest if one was harmed, the whole group would be wiped out.

Qin Hao felt that with him around, it was highly unlikely that such a thing would happen.

It's always better to think things through and take precautions.

To avoid having to worry when something goes wrong.

Hong Qigong was taken aback, then overjoyed.

This is already a success, which means that this matter is definitely correct.

He was naturally happy at the thought that the Beggars' Sect would one day also have its own grotto.

"Men, get moving!"

Even Hong Qigong, who was originally quite carefree as the sect leader, became anxious.

north.

Zhongnan Mountain.

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen were also shocked in the secret realm.

They were all aware of the changes in the world as soon as the secret realm was created.

In particular, that wisp of energy descended and was distributed among the seven of them.

Although they didn't know what it was, all seven knew it would be good for them.

Ma Yu turned to look at Qin Hao and asked, "Junior Uncle, what was that just now?"

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Creating a secret realm will raise the world's upper limit."

The world is naturally happy, and there is feedback.

This wisp of energy can enhance a person's qualities and increase the degree to which they are favored by the world.

The road ahead will be smoother.

Even after hearing this, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen still didn't know what it meant.

But everyone knows that this is something that is good for them.

"Thank you for your guidance, Junior Uncle."

Qin Hao waved his hand dismissively: "It's alright, I don't want to be the sect leader. The usual things still need to be handled by the seven of you, lest you all lack the talent and die young. Wouldn't all the miscellaneous tasks fall on my shoulders then?"

That's really unpleasant to hear.

But Ma Yu and the others could only manage a wry smile.

My mentor once said that their aptitude wasn't very good.

Even with their combined strength, the seven could only briefly hold off the Five Greats. If it weren't for their junior uncle, they wouldn't have been able to protect the reputation of the Quanzhen Sect.

"Thank you, little uncle."

The seven men bowed again; those who were on the same side knew what was going on.

This is how Junior Uncle shared his resources with them and promoted them.

Otherwise, what does the achievement of this secret realm have to do with them?

Even if there are, there certainly aren't many.

Ma Yu nodded in agreement: "We will strive to work hard and prevent our junior uncle from dying. In the future, we will try our best to handle sect affairs in a way that will not cause him any headaches."

Junior Uncle is in charge of important matters, so they naturally take care of the miscellaneous tasks.

"Alright, go and cultivate." (End of Chapter)
