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

"Sister-in-law?"

Ying Gu turned around and saw that among the people sitting there was a very young man.

Although he was not the master, he was implicitly sitting in the master's seat.

You should know that this is the territory of Master Yideng, the Southern Emperor.

Ying Gu recalled that when she came here, she found that the environment had changed a lot.

In just a few months, it has transformed into a place of towering ancient trees and vibrant life.

It's nothing like when I came here before, when it felt a bit desolate.

But by now, winter is almost here.

This is out of season.

"who are you?"

Ying Gu wasn't quite sure who this young Taoist priest was.

So young, he couldn't possibly be Zhou Botong's junior brother, could he?
However, he still seemed to be sitting subtly in the center.

This is truly unbelievable.

Even if Wang Chongyang came, it wouldn't be possible, right?

"It seems that since Sister-in-law has been living in Black Dragon Pool, she knows relatively little about me. It's alright, I've already sent someone to inform Senior Brother Zhou Botong. He will be arriving soon. If Sister-in-law has anything to say, perhaps we should wait?"

Ying Gu originally didn't want to listen.

But the name Zhou Botong left her frozen in place.

There was nothing she could do; in this life, the person she missed most was Zhou Botong.

Qin Hao continued, "I know a little about what happened back then."

Unfortunately, by the time I unraveled the mystery of the womb, it was already too late to undo the damage.

Fortunately, the sister-in-law is still relatively young, and the brother is still in his prime.

The mother-son bond lost back then is not necessarily irretrievable.

Why don't you sit down, sister-in-law, and we can discuss this further?

My sister-in-law has just broken through to the next level, so she's probably not very skilled yet.

I passed on the Lesser Yin Heart Method to my master's sister-in-law. After she completed her practice, she then began to cultivate the Nine Yin Manual.

Nine Yin Scriptures?

At this moment, everyone, including Ying Gu, stared wide-eyed.

They looked at Qin Hao, their eyes filled with shock.

However, with Qin Hao's strength, the Nine Yin Manual shouldn't be anything special to him, right?

Qin Hao smiled confidently: "The original Nine Yin Manual had a pretty good concept."

However, the level was not quite enough, so I expanded it to the fourth step of returning to emptiness and merging with the Dao.

"Yes, Master Yideng, the secret realm will need about another year to complete its initial form. I'll give you a 'Vermilion Bird Diagram,' which is perfect for the Dali Duan family's 'One-Finger Divine Skill.' Studying the 'Vermilion Bird Diagram' will also help your understanding of the One-Finger Divine Skill. For subsequent innate techniques, you can refer to the Vermilion Bird Diagram and expand upon them on your own."

As he spoke, Qin Hao handed a scroll of the Vermilion Bird painting to Master Yideng.

This was originally supposed to be given out.

I just didn't expect Ying Gu to arrive at such a convenient time.

Of course, Qin Hao also gave Ying Gu a copy of the "Lesser Yin Heart Method".

The others, however, did not try to spy on it.

Huang Yaoshi has the "Azure Dragon Diagram," and Hong Qigong has the "Qilin Diagram," both based on the attributes of the five colors and five directions.

The Quanzhen School also has the "Xuanwu Diagram," but it also has the "Lesser Yin Heart Method" and the "Lesser Yang Heart Method," which are practiced according to the Yin and Yang systems.

There is no distinction between superior and inferior; they are simply different in terms of attributes.

Ying Gu accepted the picture in a daze, only then realizing that she had come to seek revenge on Master Yideng.
But will this situation repeat itself again?

And there's Botong...

Overseas, on an island.

Huang Rong was filled with regret. Looking at the injured Guo Jing beside her, she quickly asked with concern, "Brother Jing, how are you?"

Guo Jing shook his head slightly: "It's alright. The old poison master's greatest reliance is his poison skills."

His venomous snakes were countered by his master's golden eagle, and his Toad Style was a bit troublesome, but my Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms were no pushovers either.

However, Ouyang Feng's martial arts have improved quite a bit. I was just entering the Innate Realm and, without carefulness, I was injured.

"Let's find a place to hide first. I'll take some healing pills, and I'll recover in no time."

But Huang Rong still felt a little guilty: "I was too lazy and not careful enough. Brother Jing, if you hadn't been trying to save me, you wouldn't have been injured by that old poisoner."

That old poisoner.

Huang Rong was furious. If she had the chance, she would not let the old poisoner get away with it.

Guo Jing shook his head slightly and comforted her, "Rong'er, you don't need to blame yourself. But you must practice your skills diligently from now on. Master asked me to supervise you, but I haven't done a good job."

Speaking of this, Huang Rong was indeed a little embarrassed.

Master Qin Hao repeatedly advised that one should prioritize one's own skill level.

She always liked to slack off, and even taking advantage of Jing-gege's affection for her, she wasn't strict enough with him in supervising her.

Now that she needed to use her martial arts skills, she realized that her abilities were rather mediocre.

The two quickly found a cave and made some arrangements.

Guo Jing took out his gourd and poured out a Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill.

This is an upgraded version of the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill from Peach Blossom Island, which Qin Hao developed. It has good effects on both internal and external injuries.

Huang Rong stood guard nearby, protecting him.

Guo Jing himself had already begun practicing the Nine Yin Manual, and of course, he also needed the Innate Skill.

With both Yin and Yang in balance, one's skill level will advance further.

If it weren't for the short time remaining, he wouldn't be any worse than the old poison master Ouyang Feng.

Ouyang Feng had injured him before, and Ouyang Feng himself had also suffered some minor injuries.

Of course, Ouyang Ke was more seriously injured than Guo Jing.

This is why, although the two were worried, they did not feel afraid.

There are also golden eagles that can be summoned at any time, as well as five-colored law enforcement warriors.

These are all things that Guo Jing and Huang Rong rely on, but they don't want to use them until the very last moment.

They were just going out to gain experience; why would they immediately overturn the table at the first sign of setback?
That's something that can save your life.

In less than half an hour, Guo Jing exhaled a breath of stale air, opened his eyes, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Jing, how are you?"

"I'm fine, my internal injuries are all healed. Hmm? What was that sound?"

Guo Jing had recovered from his injuries, and upon hearing the sound, he and Huang Rong quickly came out to investigate.

Huang Rong said, "Strange, this island is quite far from Peach Blossom Island. There shouldn't be any people here."

They had encountered the old poisoner and fled all the way here.

If it weren't for the fact that Guo Jing grew up in the northern desert and wasn't very good at swimming...

Huang Rong wanted to break through the bottom of the boat, so that the old poisoner would have nowhere to escape.

As the two traveled along, they soon discovered a man and a woman fleeing, pursued by the old poison master.

"Mu Nianci? And..."

Huang Rong didn't recognize the man, but she and Guo Jing both recognized him. Wasn't he the man who had participated in the martial arts contest to find a husband back in Zhongdu?

They all knew Mu Nianci; she was Yang Tiexin's adopted daughter.

But how did they end up together?
"help."

Guo Jing thought for a moment and then decided to take action.

Huang Rong opened her mouth, but finally nodded in agreement.

"Old Poisoner, take this!" Guo Jing reminded him, already unleashing the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

The old poison master had actually noticed Guo Jing and Huang Rong's attack, but he didn't care at first. Guo Jing had already injured himself, and it was impossible for him to fully recover in such a short time.

Having advanced to the Innate Realm for many years, he has now reached the peak of the Innate Realm.

He was confident that even if Wang Chongyang were reborn, he would not be a match for him.

What changed the world a year ago.

Although he didn't quite understand why, he knew that the world had changed.

Unfortunately, Guo Jing, whom he had initially disregarded, gave him a pleasant surprise.

After being repelled by Guo Jing's palm strike, Ouyang Feng frowned: "What? Your Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are not right."

He had fought against Hong Qigong before, but Hong Qigong's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms were not this powerful.

"Furthermore, why is your Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms specifically targeting my weaknesses?"

No martial art can be perfect.

There will always be areas that are not covered.

The more you practice, the fewer flaws you will have. As you become more proficient in martial arts and your skill deepens, you will be able to hide your flaws.

But nothing can be perfect.

The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms used to be the most rigid external martial art, with immense power.

Although it doesn't restrain itself as much as the Innate Skill, it takes a head-on approach.

Hong Qigong, relying on this, was on par with him.

However, Ouyang Feng felt that his martial arts skills had greatly improved, and even made various improvements.

He was even more confident when he met Hong Qigong again.

To everyone's surprise, not only was the power of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms greater, but it also seemed to be able to constantly find its own weaknesses and launch targeted attacks.

He tried the Toad Style Kung Fu, but it was also broken by Guo Jing's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

This?
Originally, only the One-Finger Divine Skill of the Dali Duan family was his nemesis. Now, does that mean he has to add the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to his list?

But Ouyang Feng was not afraid. He had been at the Innate Realm for many years, and his skill was far beyond what someone like Guo Jing, who had just broken through, could compare to.

He then persevered.

But he discovered that Guo Jing's internal energy seemed to be even more profound than his.

Little did he know that this was because Guo Jing had also cultivated the "Qilin Diagram," which allowed him to draw power from the earth and continuously restore himself.

Guo Jing had only just learned of this situation.

While fighting Ouyang Feng, Guo Jing thought to himself, "I only practiced the 'Qilin Diagram,' and my endurance has increased greatly. My master must have practiced all five-colored diagrams. What kind of power does that have?"

He seemed unable to see through Qin Hao's true nature.

A day later, Ouyang Feng couldn't hold on any longer and took a few steps back, withdrawing from the battle.

Guo Jing did not pursue them; the two of them joined up with Yang Kang and Mu Nianci.

Huang Rong asked curiously, "Sister Mu, how did you get together with him?"

Mu Nianci lowered her head shyly and said softly, "I met him by chance when I was out."

Actually, she came out specifically to find Yang Kang.

Although Yang Kang deliberately went on stage, she already had a place for him in her heart.

Ouyang Feng frowned; he was no match for Guo Jing alone.

With Yang Kang added to the mix, how could he possibly be a match for him?

Ouyang Ke is also injured. If the two sides surround him, wouldn't he be in great danger?

"Guo Jing, Huang Rong. You don't even know them. Are you really going to go against me for their sake?"

Huang Rong picked up the conversation, looked up and said, "What? Old Poison Master, are you scared?"

"Heh. Little girl, I was just giving you a small punishment before. If you say another word, I won't give your father any face, and then even your father won't be able to save you. You'd better obediently become my son's wife." This tangled web of relationships is impossible to sever.

Huang Rong was very angry.

Guo Jing squeezed her hand and stepped forward to say, "Who says we have no relationship? Brother Kang and I are sworn brothers."

Yang Kang also learned some things from Qin Hao, and was later sent away. He didn't want to run into Guo Jing anyway.

Who knew that by some twist of fate, I would end up here.

This man is not only his sworn brother, but also, well, that's from his father Yang Tiexin.

According to his master Qiu Chuji's logic, he should call the other party "Junior Uncle".

Where can I go to seek justice?
He couldn't even maintain his reputation as the "Young Master Quanzhen" and his composure.

But he dared not deny it, or he would be scolded by his junior grandmaster again.

However, thanks to the guidance of a junior grandmaster, he was already at the peak of the first-class level, just one step away from advancing to the innate level.

He was slightly injured in his battle with Ouyang Feng, but he also saw an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Although it will take several more months to refine.

Ouyang Feng was filled with doubt and suspicion, but in the end he quickly left.

He couldn't defeat Guo Jing alone, let alone Yang Kang, who could be promoted at any time.

And that girl Huang Rong, she's troublesome too.

Especially that finger-flicking technique, which he hadn't used earlier, but he had to be distracted to deal with it.

That's why he was no match for Guo Jing.

"This is truly unbelievable. Although Huang Yaoshi's finger-flicking skill is powerful, it's no longer a significant threat to them. How come it's so effective in this little girl's hands?"

Upon returning, Ouyang Ke lay on the ground in the cave. Seeing Ouyang Feng come back, he quickly asked, "Uncle, how did you go?"

Ouyang Feng shook his head: "Two more lads have come, and we haven't taken them down yet. But don't worry, your uncle will definitely stand up for you."

If all else fails, we can go find Huang Yaoshi.

His own martial arts skills have greatly improved, and even if Huang Yaoshi has made progress, he should still be no match for him.

I don't believe Huang Yaoshi wouldn't be tempted; he should at least give him some face.

Besides, Ouyang Ke is much more dashing than that Guo Jing.

With that dull and taciturn personality, how could Huang Yaoshi possibly like him?

Meanwhile, Huang Rong and the others returned to the cave.

After some explanation, I learned how they got here.

Mu Nianci said with some worry, "It's all because my martial arts are not good enough. I'm afraid I'll be in trouble if Ouyang Feng targets me."

After some words of comfort from the group, Yang Kang said directly, "Don't worry, once we get back outside and back to the Quanzhen Sect, I'll ask my master to teach you a set of Quanzhen Sect internal energy cultivation techniques. Then you'll be formidable. As for now, I've already seen an opportunity for advancement. In just a few months, I'll be able to advance to the Innate Realm. Then, together with Brother Guo, we'll be able to easily defeat Ouyang Feng. You two ladies just need to watch from the sidelines."

Huang Rong's eyes darted around: "Huh? You're also from the Quanzhen Sect? Then wouldn't I be your martial aunt?"

Yang Kang was taken aback, and Huang Rong laughed, "Jing-gege and I are both disciples of Master Qin Hao. My master is the senior uncle of your master Qiu Chuji."

Yang Kang's expression kept changing before he finally bowed and said, "Greetings, my two senior uncles."

Guo Jing quickly helped Yang Kang up and said, "Let's each talk our own thing."

He then turned to Huang Rong and said, "Rong'er."

Huang Rong stuck out her tongue: "Alright, alright, I still prefer Sister Mu. Otherwise, I'll ask Master to take Sister Mu as my disciple. Master loves me so much; he's given me a birthday gift every year since before I was even born. I'll take this for next year's birthday gift."

"Rong'er."

Seeing that Guo Jing was about to get angry, Huang Rong dared not say anything more.

When Mu Nianci saw this, she knew that everyone has their match, and even the clever and mischievous Huang Rong would be subdued by the dull and simple Guo Jing.

戾 (lì).

With a cry, a golden eagle descended from the sky.

Guo Jing said happily, "It's Master's golden eagle. It's here to deliver a message."

A piece of silk fell to the ground and was caught in Guo Jing's hand.

Inside was a gourd, which Guo Jing immediately recognized as a storage gourd.

There were words written on the silk, and Guo Jing read them quickly, skimming through them.

He then said to Mu Nianci, "This is a letter from Master. He already knows about you and Brother Kang."

Mu Nianci was a little worried. The legendary junior uncle of Quanzhen Sect, that banished immortal...

Yang Kang had mentioned before that he had been taken away by that banished immortal and given a dressing down before the immortal came to apologize to him.

But she had already made sure to remember Yang Kang.

I wonder what that immortal being actually said.

Would you disapprove of them?

Guo Jing said, "Master said that he will ask Senior Sister Sun to accept you as a disciple. As for your marriage with Brother Kang, my master has made the decision. In addition, this is the Quanzhen Sect's 'Lesser Yin Heart Method,' while Brother Kang has been practicing the 'Lesser Yang Heart Method.' You two, one Yin and one Yang, will progress very quickly by practicing together."

Dual cultivation under a single household?

Mu Nianci blushed.

Guo Jing, however, was unaware of this and continued explaining the methods of dual cultivation.

As Mu Nianci listened, she realized that it wasn't the dual cultivation she had come to understand.

This refers to the fact that the combined practices of both parties will promote each other due to the principle of yin and yang complementing each other.

"So that's what dual cultivation by combining different registrations is like," Mu Nianci muttered softly. Huang Rong chuckled and leaned closer, asking in Mu Nianci's ear, "What did you think it was, dual cultivation by combining different registrations?"

"oops."

The children were playing around, and Guo Jing hadn't quite understood what was going on when he handed over the gourd again: "This is the storage gourd your master gave you. You need to bind it to your master with your blood. There's about the size of a room inside. Hmm, there are also the cultivation resources you and Kang Di have accumulated during this time, as well as healing pills for Kang Di."

Yang Kang was taken aback, and felt even more awe towards this junior grandmaster.

They had all left the Central Plains and gone to sea.

How did that junior grandmaster already know about what just happened?
Subsequently, Mu Nianci performed a blood oath ceremony, and to her astonishment, retrieved a healing pill from the gourd.

Then learn the Lesser Yin Heart Method.

Huang Rong is also close to the peak of first-class, and is about to break through.

So I decided not to rush and just stay here to cultivate for a few months.

Ouyang Feng did not back down and continued to look for opportunities to ambush the group.

A master-level figure with innate revolutionary abilities is not so easy to defend against if he really wants to launch a sneak attack.

Fortunately, Guo Jing's cultivation level also gradually increased over time.

He was originally a practitioner of both Yin and Yang cultivation, and with his understanding of the Qilin Diagram, he would not feel timid standing on the ground.

A continuous stream of power flows from the earth, replenishing his depleted energy.

He lasted much longer than Ouyang Feng.

Moreover, Huang Rong, this clever and mischievous girl, even gave Yang Kang a suggestion.

When Ouyang Feng launched a sneak attack, Guo Jing was tasked with engaging him, while Huang Rong used her finger-flicking technique to launch a surprise attack, preventing Ouyang Feng from escaping.

Yang Kang then went out to find Ouyang Ke and launch a sneak attack on him.

After several such encounters, Ouyang Ke was repeatedly defeated and suffered greatly.

Ouyang Feng discovered that the four opponents rarely separated, and he couldn't even find an opportunity to separate.

Six months later, Yang Kang finally broke through to the Innate Realm.

At this point, Yang Kang and Guo Jing joined forces to hold off Ouyang Feng.

Huang Rong dragged Mu Nianci along to cause trouble for Ouyang Ke.

At this time, Mu Nianci had already reached the peak of the second-rate level, and it would not be so easy for Ouyang Ke to cause trouble for her.

Even Ouyang Ke was puzzled: "My aptitude is already quite good. My uncle said there are very few people in the world who can surpass me. How come there are four here?"

Ouyang Ke was aware of Mu Nianci's strength when the martial arts contest for marriage took place in Zhongdu.

He didn't take them seriously at all.

Now he's so much better than him?
Things were getting more and more complicated, and Ouyang Feng was getting anxious.

On this day, for some reason, the world seemed to have become much larger.

Ouyang Feng looked up and felt that the bottleneck of his peak innate realm was loosening a little.

"You brat, just wait. Once I break through, I'll teach you a lesson."

Given their inherent level, they are no match for the combined forces of the opposing side.

Then I'll just try to break through again.

Unfortunately, breaking through is not so easy.

Huang Rong took advantage of this time to break through to the Innate Realm: "It wasn't easy, I've also broken through to the Innate Realm."

Mu Nianci did the same, taking advantage of this opportunity to break through to the first-class level.

Of the four, she was the weakest.

Guo Jing said, "It seems that the Eastern Azure Dragon Grotto of Peach Blossom Island is almost complete and should have already formed a secret realm."

Huang Rong was somewhat pleased and nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, it's much slower than Master's Quanzhen Sect's Northern Xuanwu Grotto."

Yang Kang knew a little about this matter, but not very clearly.

Mu Nianci had no idea at all.

Guo Jing gave a brief explanation, then added, "This matter is top secret. You just need to know, but you must never tell anyone."

Currently, several countries have started some conflicts, and there's a feeling that they're about to go to war.

Guo Jing also felt that the people's lives were full of hardship and he couldn't bear it.

But if Master's plan succeeds, as long as they continue to live forever and never die.

Then the world will be at peace again, and for a very, very long time.

He wasn't there to cause destruction.

Yang Kang gasped, "So that's how it is."

……

"Junior brother, why did you send me here? Isn't Master Yideng here?"

Zhou Botong cautiously poked his head in.

He didn't want to come, but his junior brother used his senior brother Wang Chongyang's name to bring him here.

Although he was apprehensive, he still came.

Just as he poked his head in, he noticed several people inside staring at him.

And there was one person he feared most.

Ying Gu.

Ying Gu stood up and looked at Zhou Botong in shock. He didn't have any white hair and looked like he was in his middle age.

Just like when we were together back then.

She has regained the beauty of her youth.

"Botong."

Ying Gu got up, and Zhou Botong tried to run away.

However, several vines then stretched out and surrounded Zhou Botong from all sides.

Zhou Botong used all his skills, whether it was the Empty Fist, the Ambidextrous Fighting Technique, or even the martial arts from the Nine Yin Manual, none of them could escape his attack.

Finally, they were tightly entangled by the vines and pulled inside.

Everyone else was stunned. Was this some kind of supernatural power?

"Junior brother, you..."

Zhou Botong felt like he was about to die. (End of Chapter)
