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

"What do you mean?"

The law enforcement elder was a little confused. Wasn't what they were talking about just now about buying and selling those demon corpses?

Why are you talking about mountains and not mountains?
Clearly, his thinking hadn't kept up with Qin Hao's pace.

The candidates for the Holy Son were somewhat affected, and some unpleasant thoughts arose in their minds.

They are vying for the position of candidate for Holy Son, and may go even further in the future.

It's not for me to be someone's lackey.

Master Yunhua had figured it out and was quite happy.

If these individuals all work under their own disciples, will they still be able to compete for the title of Holy Son or even Sect Leader in the future?

But what Qin Hao wanted was not the position of sect leader of Tianlian Valley.

The head of Tianlian Valley is good, but where can I find a better leader from the Five Great Benevolent Council?
Hmm, there aren't just five major sects of the Pure Yang Sect here, so there might be more than just five philanthropists?

However, Qin Hao thought that a final decision-making committee or a cabinet could be set up, with five seats.

They are still the five great philanthropists.

Then there's the Upper Council, which is the territory of all the major Chunyang sects.

Then the lower council was handed over to other factions.

As for the imperial dynasty?

If it still exists, then the dynasty can also have a vote in the lower council.

But an imperial dynasty that can stand on equal footing with the Chunyang sect of the Upper Council will absolutely not be allowed to exist.

To prevent the recurrence of the Great Xia Dynasty.

As for the safety of Qianyang Realm, and the lives of these ordinary people.

As long as Qin Hao is alive, their basic rights will not be in question.

Once the Qianyang Realm is upgraded to a Great Thousand World, it will be able to accommodate immortals residing in the world.

These problems are not really problems.

Qin Hao smiled and said directly, "My goal is not to become the Holy Son of Tianlian Valley, and I will never truly become the Holy Son of Tianlian Valley in the future."

I am still a true disciple of Xiaoyao Cave, but of course I will not become the Holy Son of Xiaoyao Cave.

My own Qinghe Bay and Pengze Lake are enough for me to manage.

I have no other ideas.

Moreover, you just need an opportunity for promotion, and I happen to have a research project here: one is about puppets, and the other is about bloodline potions.

I happen to be short of good researchers, and I think your abilities are quite good.

I can allow you to come and help, and to participate in my research project.

In this way, my legal rights will not be harmed, and you will also get the opportunity you want.

This is a win-win situation, so why not?

Qin Hao's words silenced the law enforcement elder.

Master Yunhua was somewhat bewildered. This was the first time Qin Hao had publicly announced that he did not want to compete for the position of Holy Son or become the sect leader.

Don't you know the Holy Son's authority and the Sect Leader's benefits?
Although this is a secret of the sect, everyone knows that it is no small amount.

"really?"

One of the candidates for the Holy Son suddenly asked.

If Qin Hao truly doesn't compete for the title of Holy Son, then there's no conflict of interest between them. Although listening to Qin Hao and joining his research project might not bring any benefits.

But the opportunity for promotion itself is the biggest benefit.

"That's natural," Qin Hao insisted.

He originally had no interest in becoming the leader of Tianlian Valley.

They put in a lot of effort and thought for the sake of a sect.

It would be better to protect one's own territory; Qinghe Bay and Pengze Lake are already sufficient.

There are so many other little worlds, all of which belong to you.

What do you want but can't get?

Tianlian Valley is just one of the major sects of Chunyang. It would take all my energy to lead Tianlian Valley to rise.

Why bother?
I'll leave it to the other disciples; I only need to offer support occasionally.

"Okay, I'll join."

Once one person took the lead, the rest of the people naturally rushed to agree as well.

The other party agreed on their own initiative, and although the law enforcement elder felt that Qin Hao was taking advantage of their vulnerability and not giving them any benefits, he was still concerned about the consequences.

The way they ate was rather unsightly.

But since it was a matter of mutual consent, he couldn't very well stop it.

This is a matter of great importance, and Qin Hao only wants them to help with the research, in exchange for free labor.

That's actually quite generous.

Or rather, even if Qin Hao wanted them to contribute resources and pay for research.

In the end, these people will all agree.

This doesn't count as making an enemy.

Qin Hao didn't intercept their things; he just got them first.

These things are also beneficial to Qin Hao.

This isn't about making enemies.

But deep down, there's still some reluctance, which makes the impression a bit worse.

If it's a competition between holy sons, then there's nothing more to say about the sects.

In order to weaken the opponent, without resorting to underhanded tactics.

It's just a competition for resources, all within the rules. Even the sect leader wouldn't have any objections, nor could he.

The sect leader appears to be the person in charge of the entire sect, wielding the greatest power.

But deep within the cave, there are immortals.

Qin Hao knew this, which is why he didn't want to become the sect leader.

Because it could be hampered at any time.

He could not possibly put the interests of his sect above his personal interests.

Sooner or later, there will be conflict.

Therefore, one can be either a true disciple or a candidate for holy son.

In the future, they may even serve as part-time elders of the true lineage.

But the sect leader is out of the question.

His mind was still focused on all the heavens and the myriad worlds.

He still prefers to focus his energy on his own spiritual path.

The clone has already ascended to immortality; the next step is to expand the grotto-heaven and make it more complete.

If one day, it can become a complete little world.

That's how the fairy was made.

The path of innate gods and demons is just like this: to perfect one's own inner world until one day one may create a great world and achieve the primordial chaos.

Perhaps then one can become a saint.

At this moment, no one can travel this road.

But at least the path to creating a clone has been determined.

As for the main body, we also need to hurry.

He wants to become an immortal as soon as possible, but he can't.

He needs to pause for a moment.

Because there is no advancement in the Qianyang Realm right now, once he becomes an immortal, he will be forced to ascend.

There are still quite a few people outside.

If his physical body ascends to immortality for now, he probably won't be able to stop those people.

The Living Buddha Zanbu was also waiting outside.

After Qin Hao's clone Ao Hong became an immortal, his perception greatly increased, and a causal link was waiting outside the realm.

If he is not strong enough, it will indeed be a thorn in his side.

However, Ao Hong's clone has already ascended to immortality, and his strength is no weaker than that of the Living Buddha Zanbu.

He merely ascended to immortality, abandoning the accumulation of nine lifetimes, making him the weakest first-class immortal.

They are only stronger than the heavenly soldiers.

In fact, even a Heavenly General who has been in power for several years is probably stronger than him.

Qin Hao also gained some understanding of the true nature of the so-called heavenly soldiers and generals.

Just as various sects raise Taoist soldiers, heavenly soldiers and generals are essentially the Taoist soldiers of the Heavenly Court.

It is simply more advanced, existing solely in relation to the Heavenly Court.

This is tantamount to elevating their status, placing them on par with immortals.

However, the level of ordinary heavenly soldiers is between the peak of the fourth realm and that of immortals.

They did not truly reach the level of immortals, but were summoned by the Heavenly Court and used the Gathering Immortal Pool to complete their transformation into half-immortals.

Therefore, celestial soldiers can exist in the celestial realm, and their strength is slightly higher than that of others at the peak of the fourth realm.

But it's not enough to be a fairyland; it's not true immortality.

The Heavenly Court usually has a military review platform or a magical artifact such as a gathering immortal flag.

That was the foundation of the heavenly soldiers.

Once these magical treasures are destroyed, the rank of the heavenly soldiers will also be lowered.

It's somewhat similar to the methods used by military cultivators.

It's just similar.

This is a genuine method used by Taoist soldiers; all the major heavenly courts employ similar methods.

Qin Hao also has similar methods, but their quality may not reach the level of immortals, so he cannot raise heavenly soldiers and generals right now.

However, now that Ao Hong has ascended to immortality, Qin Hao also plans to include this method in his schedule.

However, we need to deduce it further.

He had not encountered many immortal-level techniques before.

Even with the Enlightenment Pavilion, the boost it provides is not significant.

"Returning to the Devouring Star World to quickly increase my strength and access the secret techniques of immortality will also be of great help to me."

Now that Ao Hong has been promoted, she has a certain foundation in terms of strength.

At worst, if the Demon Realm invades, he can lead his family and the people of his territory to escape directly from the Qianyang Realm.

After that, as long as a suitable place in the world is found, everyone can be settled.

If you can't find the Great Thousand World, you can look for other Medium Thousand Worlds.

As a final option, he can also choose some minor worlds that he has selected to be promoted into minor worlds, cultivate them into middle worlds, and place them there as well.

At this time, he had already settled in several minor worlds and built ascension platforms for them, so he had a spatial location.

With safety guaranteed, there's still a way out.

Qin Hao naturally wants to elevate his own standing.

In the Qianyang Realm, there aren't many ways to increase one's height.

The Taoist priest from Nanhua is one aspect, but the help they can offer won't be much.

The Taoist priest from Nanhua was indeed quite fond of Qin Hao's talent.

But it's not enough to teach the knowledge of Wonderland in advance.

"But that's not necessarily true, so we can't give up."

It wasn't necessarily that the Taoist priest from Nanhua was unwilling to teach in advance; it all depended on how he handled it.

Therefore, he will not give up on Xiaoyao Cave.

We still need to find a way to continue the secret technique from the Taoist Master Nanhua.

He could choose to deduce it himself, but Qin Hao felt that he still needed to find a way to learn the secret methods passed down by the sage from the Taoist Nanhua.

Half a month later, the candidates for Holy Son from Tianlian Valley arrived. Qin Hao personally greeted them and then handed them over to Song Fugui.

Song Fugui led them to the research institute; after all, he had many people in his lap and was efficient in his work.

"This will be your accommodation during your future research projects; your work will not be here."

Once they settled in, it became clear that since they were all practitioners, there was no need to prepare special accommodations for them.

This is a place for meditation and spiritual practice.

For these cultivators who have reached this stage, going a month without sleep or rest is not a problem.

As long as it doesn't consume too much of their divine soul, there's actually no need to prepare cave dwellings for them.

Their workplaces have designated areas for meditation and recovery. The path of spiritual practice is that simple.

You can recover at any time by simply finding a place with spiritual energy, as long as it's safe.

After they settled in, Song Fugui led them all the way into the Earl's Mansion in Qinghe Bay.

Despite being called a count's mansion, these people were all seasoned treasure refiners, and they could tell at a glance that the count's mansion itself was a large-scale magic treasure.

When they got to the back, they found that there were many departments there.

Each one looks like a secluded courtyard.

They didn't go into the other courtyards, but they could tell at a glance that they were hidden gems.

"A thousand-mile-long gateway, all brought together into one courtyard?"

"Can Mount Sumeru be contained in a mustard seed?"

"Time seems to stand still in a pot?"

These comments all conveyed the same meaning, but they were enough to shock them.

In fact, Tianlian Valley and other major Pure Yang sects have similar arrangements.

But that was the arrangement of the Chunyang Sect.

To put it simply, this is a place of creation and secret realm, where one can ascend to a blessed land and grotto heaven.

This is not uncommon, but it is certainly not easy to do.

The more advanced the world, the more difficult it is.

Moreover, the cluster of secret realms here is so dense.

Song Fugui chuckled and said, "These are the results of our Qinghewan Research Institute. Come on, you're starting your jobs today. I'll take you on a tour, and then you can choose which department to go to. Hmm, first, go and collect your benefits."

"Welfare?"

The group of people were somewhat surprised.

Song Fugui nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course, we in Qinghe Bay have always practiced equal exchange."

Since you're here to work, you're entitled to your own benefits.

"But we've already received the benefits."

The opportunity for their promotion came from the benefits they received from Qinghewan.

This is something they all agree on.

But Song Fugui's words surprised them all.

"That's the invitation fee or settlement fee you paid for coming here."

As for the benefits that come with your work, you should still claim them.

"Come on, don't just stand there, you'll be able to collect your benefits soon."

Song Fugui chuckled inwardly; this was Qin Hao's well-intentioned scheme.

Don't be fooled by the fact that you seemed to have been suppressed before, or that you had already received those benefits.

But once you get here, we'll provide you with generous benefits, and no one can stop you.

Although everyone understands that this is a case of giving a sweet treat after a beating, it is an open conspiracy.

But overt schemes are the hardest to defend against.

Song Fugui led them in, but inwardly he didn't object at all.

He himself was also targeted by a conspiracy, and was now serving as Qin Hao's chief steward.

But he still enjoyed it and never felt it was hard work.

My cultivation speed in the previous years was too slow.

Although he was already among the top in the cultivation speed rankings at Futong Money Exchange.

The body of the Wealth-Giving Boy is the most suitable cultivation method for their Futong Money House.

But if we're talking about speed, it really gets fast after joining Qinghewan.

Song Yuanbao and his father both remarked that ten years could be used as a period of hundreds of years.

He had already sensed the opportunity to advance to the fourth realm.

In Qin Hao's words, this opportunity arose because the Heavenly Dao was threatened, thus loosening its bottleneck.

But not everyone can encounter it so quickly.

"Alright, this is where you collect your benefits. Each department has different benefits, and the R&D department has always been one of the most generous."

Of course, the explanations are all pretty much the same.

The most lucrative positions actually belong to the operations department; they fight with their lives on the line.

The R&D department's numbers are indeed very high, probably ranking among the top few.

The group received their reward and were immediately taken aback: "This is an Enlightenment Pill?"

This is a pill that can temporarily increase wisdom and comprehension, and it's one of the few pills that you don't have to worry about having any poisoning.

In other words, it can be used indefinitely.

The higher one's cultivation level, the less blessing one receives.

The buffs received at the peak of the third realm are the highest.

Yes, there are also higher-level Enlightenment Pills, which they obtained for use in the third realm.

The most suitable elixir for the third realm.

Song Fugui smiled and said, "Of course, this was developed by the R&D department just last month. This is only the first batch of pills, which was refined last week."

You're among the first to receive it.

Several people couldn't believe it: "Are the welfare benefits in Qinghewan all this good?"

"What a joke!"

Song Fugui laughed and said, "This is a perk for the R&D department; other departments don't get this kind of perk. We need your bursts of inspiration to develop new and better products. Our Qinghe Bay also has a passage to the Demon Realm, and it's the one that receives the most and strongest attacks from the Demon Realm."

Therefore, we need more and better products to ensure the survival rate of our soldiers.

The group of candidates for the Holy Son fell silent.

Everyone knows about the Battle of Qinghe Bay.

The intensity was indeed very high, and the intervals between attacks were extremely close, with virtually no time for rest.

However, the mortality rate in Qinghewan is indeed the lowest, at only a few percent.

That's because of an unexpected event, or because someone disobeyed orders.

Those were all unavoidable.

Many people say that it's because Qinghewan is willing to give money and share profits.

Now it seems that the rumors were indeed true.

"May I ask what the benefits are like in other departments?"

After thinking for a moment, Song Fugui said frankly, "It's nothing, it's just something on the same level as the Enlightenment Pill."

It can be a secret technique, a magical artifact, an elixir, or a talisman—anything that can be accomplished through the various arts of cultivation can be distributed.

Everyone was shocked; to achieve this, one must have a very solid foundation.

So, how did Qin Hao manage to do that?
Just like in the Heavenly Refinement Valley, didn't they have to fight for this opportunity for advancement themselves?
As it turns out, Qinghewan has some surplus, so we can bring them over and study them together.

Seeing that they were all dazed and confused, he immediately asked to join the research.

It's not just for my own spiritual path, but also to research and develop something.

They had seen the benefits list; in addition to the usual benefits, Qinghe Bay would reward them if they came up with something good.

It's very generous, and the rewards are given continuously for a long time.

If their initial purpose in coming here was precisely for this opportunity...

Now, they might just be joining this department for the sake of joining.

Qinghewan has given too much.

They seemed to have forgotten about the competition for the Holy Son.

That means there's only one person, one spot.

But there are plenty of spots available in Qinghewan.

Although he is not as good as the Holy Son, much less as good as the Sect Leader.

However, the benefits for the inner sect elders and the like are not as good as those here.

They now completely believe that Qin Hao has no intention of competing for the position of Holy Son or becoming the sect leader.

The leader of Tianlian Valley has too many things to pay attention to.

But they might not receive the same treatment as Qin Hao.

Besides this place, they also have a dragon palace.

There are at least two people in the fourth realm in the Dragon Palace, and both of them are powerful experts in the fourth realm.

What's the point of fighting over a holy son? Even ghosts wouldn't fight over that.

Song Fugui didn't insist and directly brought them to work, thinking to himself, "I've tricked another batch of people into joining. Although the effort was great, the rewards were equally enormous. I hope they can bring some unexpected surprises."

Qin Hao didn't just try to recruit talent in Tianlian Valley this time; he recruited anyone who had influence or connections.

Here, you'll receive the best possible hospitality and benefits.

If it yields results, that would be best.

No, they can still be used as laborers.

In any case, the value they provide is definitely higher than the benefits they receive.

At most, it's just like hiring another worker; Qinghewan won't lose money anyway.

In fact, Song Fugui was also quite curious about where Qin Hao got these enlightenment pills and the like.

These pills are very special, with obvious effects, and are not easy to refine.

The market price outside is very high.

But in Qinghewan, these things seem quite ordinary.

Of course, it's normal. Ao Hong is a cultivator who is quite skilled in all aspects of immortal cultivation.

Now that he has become an immortal, both his control and the nature of the power in his hands are quite good.

If an immortal were to refine elixirs for the mortal realm, given their expertise in such matters, wouldn't success be a simple matter?
Song Fugui logged into the Skynet again and looked at the contents of the warehouse.

Once again, he couldn't help but exclaim, "What exactly happened? So many wonderful things? Besides those lower realms, did he come into contact with some other high-level world? For example, the Celestial Realm?"

However, Song Fugui then shook his head.

It's not that Qin Hao has no chance to make contact, but rather that he himself has the opportunity to make contact with the Celestial Realm.

But the celestial realm has a higher energy level, making it difficult for him to bring back anything.

If Qin Hao had only made contact with the Heavenly Realm, he might not have been able to bring back so many things.

"Besides, although there are ordinary people in the Heavenly Realm, they may not have the things that the mortal world needs, and he may not be able to bring them back."

In the end, Song Fugui never expected that Qin Hao was someone he had created himself.

He simply hasn't shown any talent in this area.

Qin Hao has always maintained a diligent and assiduous attitude.

At this moment, Qin Hao saw that several more talented people had joined his territory. As long as they didn't die, they would all become figures like the Supreme Elders of Tianlian Valley.

Actually, I'm quite happy.

It's not just his connections; the speed at which he progresses is something these people can't match.

What he values ​​is the spark of thought these people demonstrate, and how much change and benefit they can bring in the future.

"Now that things are settled here, it seems like it's time to return to the Devouring Star World. This time, I should stay until I leave Chaos City and then complete some cultivation tasks. Hmm, I also need to get the business going. As for Venerable Qianwu, I need to make him pay off his debts one by one. He's a very good henchman and employee."

In the world of Swallowing the Stars, the people speak of the Venerable One with respect and awe.

Probably no one would think that they should treat a venerable one like a laborer.

But Qin Hao just happened to think of it.

A celestial-level henchman or worker, if used properly, can generate great value. Why not think about it?

He opened his eyes, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Qin Hao always has a vague feeling that he is being observed.

"Could it be that the founder of the Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City are unwilling to give up? I'm just cultivating normally, what's there to see?"

Qin Hao found it funny, but he could understand it.

After all, his appearance was completely unexpected by them.

Or rather, the entire human race may be unable to understand its own existence.

The original ancestor may not be unable to contact the outside world, nor know what the other party is thinking.

Qin Hao didn't care at the moment, as his strength in this realm hadn't improved yet.

If you are not in your position, you will not seek your government.

Let's not worry about that for now.

"However, I still have about seventeen years to stay in Chaos City, where I can fully comprehend the laws. When it's time to leave, I'll immediately complete my mission and then advance to the rank of Domain Lord." (End of Chapter)
