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

Five months later.

Zhang Xiaofan opened his eyes.

He has just completed thirty-six cycles of circulation, and has cultivated the Taiji Xuanqing Dao to the first level of perfection.

"The next step is to cultivate the second level. The speed is much faster than I expected."

Zhang Xiaofan was undecided whether or not to tell his master that he had broken through the first level.

Originally, the Great Brahma Prajna would devour the magical power of his cultivation of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao.

He originally estimated that it would take him at least three years to complete the first level of cultivation.

Only then can one break through the second level.

Zhang Xiaofan had poor aptitude. An ordinary person would have made some progress after three months of practicing the first level of Taiji Xuanqing Dao, but it took him a full three years.

This was Zhang Xiaofan's original trajectory.

Not only Qin Hao knew, but Zhang Xiaofan himself also knew.

He knew he was lacking in talent, but he didn't know it was because the trajectories of the Great Brahma Prajna and the Taiji Xuanqing Dao were exactly opposite.

While not entirely the opposite, a large part of it is the opposite.

This means that the magical power cultivated through the Taiji Xuanqing Dao is not yet fixed.

It was absorbed by the Great Brahma Prajna, strengthening the body and meridians.

But later, Qin Hao gave him a copy of the Heart Sutra.

Each time he recited the Heart Sutra, it brought Zhang Xiaofan peace of mind, allowing him to better cultivate the Great Brahma Prajna.

It can even provide feedback on the Taiji Xuanqing Dao.

This surprised and delighted Zhang Xiaofan.

But now that I've broken through to the first level even faster than before, can I still keep it a secret from my master?
Qin Hao never told Tian Buyi about his situation.

Zhang Xiaofan did want to say something, but for some reason, he held back.

Now, he doesn't even know what to say anymore.

"Xiao Fan, you've broken through?"

A voice rang out, and there was a knock at the door.

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned and startled, then got up and reluctantly opened the door.

He was very afraid of Qin Hao because Qin Hao knew him very well.

And they are not afraid of Qin Hao.

Because Qin Hao wouldn't harm him.

They were from the same village and childhood playmates.

Qin Hao also taught him that wondrous Heart Sutra.

Aside from practicing the Great Perfection of Wisdom, even reciting this silently at ordinary times can make one's mind clearer.

This made Zhang Xiaofan's mind work even faster.

He was originally a dull person, but after reciting the mantra for a long time, he gradually became much more quick-witted.

"You've broken through the first level, haven't you? That's pretty close. Normally, based on your aptitude, it would have taken you a year to cultivate. But since you're also cultivating the Great Brahma Prajna, your first level of cultivation would have originally taken three years. I taught you the Heart Sutra, which greatly reduced the time it would have taken you to cultivate this level."

Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback. What Qin Hao said was indeed very similar to his actual situation.

No, they are almost identical.

He looked up at Qin Hao: "So, Seventh Senior Brother, what brings you here today?"

"I will teach you the incantation for the second level, and I will also protect you. At the same time, I will tell you some things to pay attention to when you break through."

"How can this be!" Zhang Xiaofan exclaimed in shock: "The sect rules stipulate..."

"It's alright, I've already told my master. He's already agreed," Qin Hao said casually.

When he saw Tian Buyi today, he did talk to Tian Buyi about Zhang Xiaofan's progress.

In any case, Tian Buyi didn't know Zhang Xiaofan's true qualifications.

Qin Hao had previously told Tian Buyi that Zhang Xiaofan was actually a man of inner talent.

This can be seen from the fact that Zhang Xiaofan was able to cook such delicious food the first time he cooked.

Tian Buyi had some belief in it.

So today Qin Hao told him that Zhang Xiaofan was about to break through the first level.

Although Tian Buyi was surprised, he was even more delighted.

Even Lin Jingyu couldn't have made such a fast progress, could he?

So, she really is a woman of inner beauty.

Zhang Xiaofan trusted Qin Hao completely, and Qin Hao said he had already informed his master and received his master's permission.

Zhang Xiaofan believed it.

Next, Qin Hao taught Zhang Xiaofan the incantation for the second level and watched him break through to the second level before preparing to leave.

But as he was leaving, Qin Hao stood at the door, turned back and asked, "Xiao Fan, I want to borrow something from you."

"What?" Zhang Xiaofan asked excitedly.

This is the excitement that comes from improved strength.

He was also excited to know that he was not lacking in talent and could bring honor to his master.

"Bloodthirsty Beads".

"what?"

Zhang Xiaofan was terrified.

Although Qin Hao already knew what Pu Zhi had done, Zhang Xiaofan had roughly figured it out as well.

The tranquility brought by the Heart Sutra is no ordinary thing.

But Zhang Xiaofan still didn't expect that Qin Hao even knew about the Bloodthirsty Bead.

Qin Hao calmly looked at Zhang Xiaofan and said, "I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Even after I revealed your biggest secret, you didn't try to kill me."

Xiao Fan, your Zen nature is not enough. You're almost unable to suppress the Bloodlust Bead lately, aren't you?
Give it to me first, and I'll remove the curse and evil spirits from it before returning it to you.

Do you believe me?

Qin Hao said it so casually and nonchalantly.

His casual manner made it seem as if he were saying, "I want to borrow a pound of rice from you."

Zhang Xiaofan hesitated for a moment before taking out the Bloodthirsty Bead.

It looks ordinary on the surface, but at this moment, a faint aura of menace is already emanating from it.

Qin Hao said, "Look, Puzhi's seal has begun to dissipate."

The Bloodthirsty Bead is a supreme treasure of the demonic path. Without the constant sealing by a powerful being, it will inevitably cause trouble sooner or later.

"The Great Bamboo Summit will be a complete mess; there will be utter chaos."

In the original novel, if Zhang Xiaofan hadn't had the fortuitous opportunity to combine the Bloodthirsty Bead and the Soul-Capturing Bead, and then refined them into his own magical treasure through blood, he would have been completely lost.

Such an outcome is highly likely.

Zhang Xiaofan hesitated for a moment, then looked up, his eyes wide, and asked seriously, "Senior brother, can you deal with this Bloodthirsty Bead?"

He kept the Bloodthirsty Bead because Puzhi had said that it was extremely evil.

With Puzhi's seal in place, the Bloodthirsty Beads won't cause too much trouble.

But Puzhi had already let him get rid of it before he died.

Zhang Xiaofan was just a little reluctant to part with it.

So it has remained until now.

Qin Hao's words today merely revealed this fact, forcing Zhang Xiaofan to confront this issue.

Qin Hao laughed and said, "If you trust me, I can solve it."

"it is good."

Without hesitation, Zhang Xiaofan threw the demonic treasure over directly.

Qin Hao reached out and took it, seemingly unsurprised that Zhang Xiaofan could so easily give up this supreme demonic treasure.

"After some time, I will return to you a treasure even more powerful than the Bloodthirsty Bead."

After saying that, Qin Hao left.

Zhang Xiaofan's expression was somewhat complicated.

Although he trusted Qin Hao, he was also worried.

The next day, Zhang Xiaofan made breakfast. Before eating, Tian Buyi surprisingly praised Zhang Xiaofan: "However, Xiaofan..."

The other disciples were all taken aback.

Tian Buyi never praised his disciples.

Well, except for the seventh child.

That's a monster.

In the past year, because of Qin Hao's rapid progress, Tian Buyi trained his disciples, including Song Daren, to the point that Song Daren sometimes wanted to die.

It might even be easier.

Perhaps if they died, they wouldn't have to face their master anymore. But what did they hear today?
Master actually praised the Eighth Brother?

The joy in Zhang Xiaofan's eyes was impossible to hide.

But at this moment, Tian Buyi's joy turned to anger again. He looked at Song Daren and the others: "Look at you guys, and look at Seventh and Eighth. I won't say anything about Seventh, he's a genius. But look at Eighth, he's only been eight or nine months and he's already broken through to the second level. And you guys? It's been so long, and some of you have only just broken through to the third level. Are you waiting for Eighth to surpass you?"

Song Daren and the others were stunned, and looked at Zhang Xiaofan in astonishment: "Eighth Brother, you broke through?"

Zhang Xiaofan nodded with some delight: "Yes, I broke through last night. My seventh senior brother taught me how."

Song Daren looked at Qin Hao. Was he already old enough to be a teacher to his junior brother?

Du Bishu exclaimed in astonishment, "That's not right, Master. Is Seventh Brother about to break through to the fourth level?"

In just over three months, Qin Hao broke through to the third level.

Du Bishu knew this.

I originally thought that Qin Hao would have to spend at least two or three years working on this level.

Even the most talented person can't be that talented.

Is this the fourth floor?

Tian Buyi looked over.

Qin Hao said, "Although it's not quite there yet, it's almost there. It should be ready in about another month."

hiss.

Song Daren was stunned.

He himself had only recently broken through the fourth level and advanced to the fifth level.

At this rate, wouldn't Qin Hao catch up with him very soon?

Then you'll surpass him?

If this happened to someone else, no matter what you say, it's unreliable.

But when it comes to Qin Hao, it all seems quite ordinary.

Ten months!

Zhang Xiaofan was even more shocked.

Others may not know, but he does: Qin Hao, like him, practices both Taoism and Buddhism.

In the same amount of time, he broke through the first level.

Is Qin Hao about to advance to the fourth level of object manipulation?
Tian Buyi's smile widened, but his gaze toward Song Daren and the others grew even colder: "From today onward, all of you must work hard at your cultivation. If you haven't made any progress by the time Seventh Brother breaks through to the fourth level, don't blame your master's wife and me for a double whammy."

what?
Let me die.

Why was I born if Hao was already here?

Qin Hao was also all smiles.

In the days to come, all sorts of problems will erupt.

To save our lives, we need to improve the cultivation levels of our fellow disciples.

In chaotic times, the only way to survive is to become even more powerful.

A month later.

Qin Hao sat cross-legged, with several black bamboo swords lying on the ground beside him.

Sudden.

Qin Hao opened his eyes, and the several black bamboo swords beside him were controlled by an inexplicable force and flew up.

"The fourth level, object manipulation, is complete."

In reality, it's nothing more than controlling things with one's qi (vital energy) or one's body.

It's not that difficult.

His true spirit has done this many times.

Doing it again is not difficult.

But this already represents a qualification.

Once a disciple of the Qingyun Sect reaches the fourth level of the Artificial Ability skill, they can descend the mountain to collect materials and forge their own natal magic weapon.

When Qin Hao thought of his natal magic weapon, he thought of Du Bishu's dice.

In fact, if the dice could be imbued with some kind of fateful power.

It is also a very good tool.

Extremely powerful.

Whenever facing an enemy, make the enemy suffer losses or face some unfavorable situation based on probability.

Or directly deprive someone of something.

This is the mystery of the Great Path of Destiny.

Unfortunately, Du Bishu may not have had the ability or the opportunity.

Qin Hao smiled; this was just a small step for him.

In fact, his past life had already helped him accumulate a lot of information.

There's no need for the main body to descend the mountain.

The next day, Qin Hao did not come out for dinner.

Tian Buyi had already shown his delight.

Song Daren and the others groaned in despair.

"Seventh Brother really is inhuman. He said it would be a month, but he hasn't been late even for a day."

As the month drew near, Song Daren and the others became somewhat worried.

During this month, they experienced Tian Buyi's exceptionally warm love.

I'm forced to play matches every day.

Either you must diligently cultivate yourself.

Since there's no progress, I'm forced to experience love.

Tian Buyi looked at his group of apprentices with a mixture of disappointment and anger: "After you finish eating, get to work immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being too harsh."

Song Daren and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they even forgot to eat.

"Master, let's go immediately."

Looking at her apprentices, Su Ru felt that they were being suppressed too much.

"Old Tian, ​​Da Ren and the others..."

"Don't speak up for them, I'm watching everything. If they still have the energy to slack off, then we haven't put too much pressure on them. They still have energy left, and they're all putting on an act for me."

Tian Buyi was extremely angry.

Although he wanted to urge his disciples to cultivate, he did not intend to mistreat them.

However, it seemed that Song Daren and the others had already given their all, even exceeding their own limits.

In reality, they're all just putting on an act for him.

Each of them harbored a great deal of hidden energy.

You'd be better off using that time to practice more.

They won't be ruined by training.

Upon hearing this, Su Ru stopped interfering.

But after thinking for a moment, she asked, "But Seventh Brother is already on the fourth level. According to the rules, he should go down the mountain to collect materials to refine treasures. But he's still so young, I'm afraid..."

Tian Buyi thought for a moment and nodded: "I'll ask him again. I originally wanted to give him the Crimson Flame Sword or the Azure Spring Sword. But he always wants to forge a flying sword himself. I'll ask him again, and if that doesn't work, I'll collect some more materials for him."

Su Ru nodded. Everyone else only knew that Tian Buyi of Dazhu Peak had a Crimson Flame Sword, also known as Crimson Spirit.

It is a divine weapon from the Nine Heavens.

Little did they know, they also possessed the Biquan Sword, which they had acquired during their youth through experience.

It is also a divine weapon from the heavens.

Three days later, Qin Hao manipulated twelve black bamboo swords, forming the Twelve Yuan Chen Grand Array.

Sensing the power of the array formed by the spirit swords, its strength increased by thirty percent.

Moreover, it can draw upon the power of the twelve earthly branches at any time.

Even when his strength increases further, he can condense the phantoms of the Twelve Yuan Chen, which can then join the great formation to assist him in battle.

"Those at the sixth or even seventh level of the Jade Purity Realm should not be my match."

Even a ninth-level Jade Purity Realm cultivator, I might still have a chance to fight.

By cultivating both Taoism and Buddhism, the quantity and quality of one's magical power doubles.

In addition, they have higher physical strength and more combat experience.

He also knows sword formations, and he would have done so if he weren't afraid that Dao Xuan would see through him.

He can also use the Life-Slaying Sword.

In the Jade Purity Realm, probably no one can rival him.

"And there's the Yin-Yang symbol too." (End of Chapter)
