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

Chapter 34 Time Descends, Water and Fire Clash
I had just returned when a long river of time descended upon me from above.

"Not good, Hongmeng Mirror, suppress!"

Qin Hao gave a low shout, but the Hongmeng Mirror reacted even faster than him, having already suppressed the strange phenomenon.

Compared to the Earth-devouring beings, whose highest level is only planetary, the Great Xia Divine Capital has countless powerful individuals.

Even if we disregard Emperor Hengming, who suppressed the Divine Capital, he was at least a fourth-realm expert, thanks to the Divine Capital's grand formation.

Even the fourth-realm experts of the Chunyang Sect dared not act recklessly in the capital.

Within the royal family, countless powerful figures also lie dormant.

Otherwise, the Li family of the Great Xia Dynasty would not be able to hold onto their power.

What the Hongmeng Mirror suppressed was not the river of time, but the strange phenomena that arose from it.

It's not just visual, but also sensory.

Before long, an old man and a young man emerged from the upper and lower reaches of the river of time, respectively.

Then, it directly merged into Qin Hao's body.

Before Qin Hao could even practice the Hunyuan Stance, Qin Zhenyuan's voice came from outside the door.

"Hao'er, is something wrong?"

It all happened so fast that even though Qin Hao had reacted in advance, a trace of his aura still leaked out.

Qin Hao shook his head: "No, I just gained some insights and plan to practice them."

Qin Zhenyuan was able to sense even a trace of aura.

So, could Emperor Hengming also sense it?
This Divine Capital Grand Array was set up when the Great Xia Emperor descended upon the land.

Each emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty would sit in the imperial palace and rule the capital.

At the same time, the main formation will be strengthened.

Over the years, I wonder how powerful this formation has become.

Qin Hao also sensed that Qin Zhenyuan was definitely not simple.

"At least at the third level of martial arts, he really is an old fox."

The second realm of martial arts is Blood Exchange, Marrow Transformation, and Core Formation. Everyone thought Qin Zhenyuan was at the peak of the second realm, the Core Formation realm.

In fact, he is at least at the first level of the third realm.

Divine will, Dharma form, and the guardian deity.

When martial arts acquire a certain artistic conception, even the techniques become imbued with spirituality.

It is called divine will.

When the martial arts intent is cultivated into a divine spirit and merges with one's own soul, it becomes a Dharma form.

The Dharma Image opens up a divine palace, and the Dharma Image sits within it, thus becoming the guardian of the palace.

This third realm is the cultivation of the soul, and also the cultivation of martial arts intent.

Perhaps trusting Qin Hao, Qin Zhenyuan didn't say much and turned to leave.

Qin Hao, however, felt that Qin Zhenyuan might not believe his words.

But perhaps because they thought it might be related to that fictitious master, they did not investigate further.

He came over simply to confirm Qin Hao's safety.

Qin Hao shook his head: "We still have one day, let's practice the Hunyuan Stance first."

He began by practicing the stance training of Turtle-Snake Fist, Dripping Water Sword, and Illusionary Sound Fist.

Only then did they slowly begin to merge.

Having already had a successful experience, the integration process was much faster this time.

Just then, a Taoist priest flew overhead.

Yes, his posture was neither flying nor any other movement.

It's like swimming.

He lowered his head and said in surprise, "What amazing comprehension! You've only reached the first realm, yet you've already begun to create your own stance training. Although it's based on three stance training methods, it's already better than most people. And that time-related aura..."

The Taoist touched his chin and revealed a playful smile.

Then, he looked at the palace and said with annoyance, "It's just a favor from before, why did you have to drag me into this quagmire?"

After saying that, the Taoist priest had already disappeared.

Throughout this process, neither Qin Hao nor Qin Zhenyuan knew anything.

Even the powerful figures and formations within the surrounding noble families showed no reaction. "Emperor Hengming, the old Taoist has arrived."

The Taoist priest showed absolutely no respect for the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Instead, they acted like neighbors who came to visit.

"How dare you!" The generals guarding Emperor Hengming, whose surroundings were hidden in the void, were both shocked and furious.

I was shocked that I hadn't felt anything at all before someone touched me here.

Enraged by the Taoist's rudeness.

Before they could take any further action, Emperor Hengming waved his hand and said, "No need for that. Brother Xiaoyao, please come in."

The surrounding generals were all taken aback. This man was actually Xiaoyaozi, the head of the Xiaoyao Cave of the Chunyang Sect.
That was a powerful figure at the third level of the fourth realm, the Pure Yang True Man.

Strip away all yin, and reverse the pure yang.

Only by reaching this stage can one be called a Pure Yang True Man.

This one is just waiting to overcome the tribulation before ascending to immortality.

Xiaoyaozi had a bit of a headache: "Wait, wait. Every time you're this polite, it means you need something from me. I just feel like I'm being bombarded with endless trouble."

Emperor Hengming ignored the man's laziness and laughed, "Brother Dao has already shed all evil influences and is just waiting to ascend. If you don't repay your karmic debts, it will be difficult to enjoy true freedom. I'm only thinking of you."

……

At this moment, Qin Hao had no idea about any of this.

In two hours of practice, he had already completed the first three stages of the Hunyuan Stance.

At this moment, they are practicing swordsmanship.

The moves that accompany this Hunyuan stance can be either swordplay or fist techniques.

Every move and every stance carries the flavor of illusion.

It can become addictive without one even realizing it, and in moments of carelessness, it can lead to a violent death.

Previously, Qin Hao had already incorporated the artistic conception of water into his work.

This rehearsal proceeded without any difficulty whatsoever.

However, the fire elemental aura is extremely difficult to comprehend.

"Why?"

For a moment, Qin Hao felt that the fire attribute seemed to be in conflict with his own personality.

But why?
Qin Hao was unaware of this and could only use the Hongmeng Mirror to suppress his body, practicing this killing move first.

This was an idea that came to him after he comprehended the fire attribute domain.

The drills are going smoothly so far.

"Water and fire annihilate each other!"

As the sword was thrust out, water and fire spread, forming a vortex.

It can not only annihilate the enemy's attacks invisibly.

It can even annihilate the enemy's body and soul.

Qin Hao sheathed his sword and stood there, nodding in satisfaction: "With this killer move, I may not even need to expose my chessboard."

The material of this chessboard was brought back by my father when I was a child, when he returned from the border.

Qin Hualin repeatedly instructed him that no one should know the origin of the jade.

Qin Hao knew that no matter how he hid it, he might be exposed.

So he simply used his family's traditional weapon-forging techniques to carve the chessboard and the two jars of chess pieces by hand.

Over the years, Qin Hao has also discovered that the material of this jade is extremely extraordinary.

Not to mention its hardness.

Moreover, it is very suitable for all kinds of forces.

Both internal energy and spiritual power can be controlled freely.

Playing chess day after day for years is also a way of refining this magical artifact.

"Therefore, we only need to wait for tomorrow's duel."

Now, everything is ready, and all that's left is to seize the opportunity.

Thank you Su Luojun for the 1500 reward. Thank you Anxinruchu for the 500 reward.
Thank you to Xiaoyaoyouxiaoyao for the monthly pass, and thank you to Xianyu Aqing for the monthly pass.
