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

Faming simply couldn't accept Qin Hao's constant barking of "bald monk, bald monk."

The failure of the three monks, including Puhong, made him feel as if the sky had fallen.

His self-cultivation is still insufficient.

"No, that's impossible."

"You can't possibly do that!"

I'm going to kill you.

Faming didn't say the last sentence, but he did.

As his magical artifact flew over, Qin Hao revealed a disdainful smile.

Even Pu Hong was no match for him, let alone Fa Ming.
Qin Hao indeed had no intention of wiping out everyone in Tianyin Temple.

He is neither Puzhi nor in the same state as Puzhi at that time.

In truth, Cangsong also bears a great deal of responsibility for what happened in Caomiao Village.

In addition, Puzhi was injured by Cangsong because of the Bloodthirsty Bead.

However, there is another fundamental reason for this, which is Puzhi's obsession with immortality.

In the end, Puzhi is not innocent.

Although the opponent did manage to suppress the Bloodlust Beads, it was indeed a merit.

But the good deeds did not outweigh the bad ones.

The practice of replacing the head with hair is a tactic of feudal dynasties.

Merits are merits, and demerits are demerits. If you make a mistake, you must pay the price.

The village of Caomiao had more than 200, nearly 300 people whose lives were lost.

Because of Puzhi's obsession, they were all killed by him.

Puzhi is now delusional enough to fake his death and escape.

That is absolutely impossible.

Qin Hao witnessed Fa Ming's actions.

He is waiting.

If Puhong doesn't stop him, then he will take Faming's life.

Perhaps out of guilt, or perhaps because she sensed Qin Hao's attitude.

Pu Hong uttered a prayer of Amitabha and reached out to stop Fa Ming's magic weapon.

He looked at Qin Hao with a complicated expression.

"Master Uncle, Sect Leader!" Fa Ming couldn't believe his eyes.

But Pu Hong simply shook his head, glanced at Qin Hao with a sorrowful expression, and said in a repentant tone, "Cause and effect, the only thing in this world that is impossible to see through is cause and effect. The cause five years ago has indeed brought about the effect five years later. Benefactor, please come inside to talk."

You can't beat him.

Qin Hao, despite his young age, has already reached the Upper Clarity Realm, and although he didn't fight with all his might in the battle just now.

But they already knew about Qin Hao's combat abilities.

Not to be underestimated.

Pu Hong even doubted that even if he fought desperately, he might not be able to defeat his opponent.

His intuition told him that if he really had to fight to the death...

He'll probably be defeated in no time.

At that time, it will be a question how many people will survive in the entire Tianyin Temple.

Some things are simply unavoidable.

Pu Hong stopped speaking and wouldn't let anyone else speak either, he just stared at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao knew what Pu Hong was thinking.

You can't win by fighting. The karma you sowed five years ago is now coming to an end.

All they could do was preserve the reputation of Tianyin Temple.

That matter must never be made public, otherwise the name of Tianyin Temple will become infamous.

You can't win by fighting, unless you can kill someone outright through a sneak attack.

But what if you can't kill it?

The thought of the consequences made Puhong tremble.

How terrifying is Qin Hao's talent?
They cultivated for decades, hundreds of years, or even several hundred years to achieve their current level of cultivation.

And what about Qin Hao?

It's only been five years.

The opponent has already advanced to the Upper Clarity Realm.

He even possessed unparalleled combat experience.

None of the three monks were able to defeat Qin Hao; instead, they were defeated by him.

This was certainly partly due to the three of them having some reservations and being hesitant to act rashly.

Who can blame them when this is Mount Sumeru, surrounded by disciples of Tianyin Temple?

They would feel heartbroken if they damaged any flowers or plants.

They actually couldn't win.

Once action is taken, the consequences will be unimaginable.

That sense of crisis kept reminding Pu Hong.

This is only five years; what if it were ten?
Is the opponent capable of advancing to the Taiqing Realm?

That legendary level that no one has ever reached?

This is something no one can be sure of.

So now it all depends on Qin Hao's plans.

The fact that the other party didn't kill him right away suggests they were leaving themselves some room to maneuver.

Perhaps the other party was also wary of Tianyin Temple's reputation as one of the three major righteous sects.

Or perhaps the young man is also a cultivator, and would not kill indiscriminately.

Who knows?

Qin Hao nodded. He had only come here today to save face for Tianyin Temple.

The believers had all witnessed his overpowering of the three great monks.

This kind of thing can't be controlled; it will get out sooner or later.

This damaged Tianyin Temple's reputation and reduced its living space.

This was his original plan.

Another requirement is to study the fourth volume of the Heavenly Book.

He wasn't going to wait for Zhang Xiaofan to arrive before activating the Heavenly Book.

In fact, there is no need to wait to comprehend the Heavenly Book; the Heavenly Book is right here.

Qin Hao guessed that the five volumes of the Heavenly Book were actually a complete Heavenly Book Stele.

Among all the celestial script steles, this should be an extremely superior one.

It's unclear which powerful being split it up, but it's now divided into five volumes.

But no matter which volume you study, you can find the Dharma you want to see and understand.

This is the fact that Buddhism, Taoism, and demonism all originated from celestial scriptures.

This requirement shouldn't be too difficult to meet.

Qin Hao doesn't want to be a serial killer either, unless they themselves have a way to die.

For example, Puzhi.

This is Qin Hao's third request and purpose for coming here today.

It was only after he arrived here today that he used cause and effect to pinpoint Puzhi, and after learning about his current situation, he temporarily added him in.

What does it mean to "lay down the butcher's knife and instantly become a Buddha"?

Cause and effect are cause and effect.

It cannot be erased simply by him laying down his butcher's knife and being ordained by others.

The bald monks chanted a line: "When will this cycle of revenge end? Now that we've entered the Buddhist order, all grudges are forgotten."

What a joke.

Why?
Just because you're a Buddhist monk, do you think you're so powerful?

Qin Hao would absolutely not accept this.

With Pu Hong's expectation, Qin Hao nodded and finally relented: "Alright, then let's go see that old bald monk Pu Zhi. If the mountain won't come to me, I'll have to go to the mountain."

"you!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Faming roared, "My Uncle Puzhi has already passed away!"

He passed away five years ago, and the news was even announced to the Qingyun Sect.

You keep calling me a bald monk, are you looking down on my Tianyin Temple?

Why bring up my Uncle Puzhi's name?

Uncle-Master Puzhi is a divine monk who travels the world and has performed countless good deeds. Simply suppressing the Bloodthirsty Pearl is an immeasurable act of merit; how dare you slander him?”

Qin Hao didn't care at all; in his eyes, Fa Ming was just like an ant.

Why would an elephant care about the slander of an ant?

He said softly and calmly, "Do you have hair on your heads?"

Faming was taken aback, but stubbornly said, "We are taking vows..."

"That means he's bald, he has no hair, what else is he but a bald monk?"

"You, I'll fight you to the death."

Qin Hao didn't even look at him, and continued, "Speaking of merit, merit is merit and demerit is demerit. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. You say that his suppression of the Bloodthirsty Pearl is an unparalleled merit, then I ask you, where is the Bloodthirsty Pearl?"

Ok?
Faming was speechless for a moment.

Because he didn't know where the Bloodthirsty Bead was.

But the inventor believes that the monk Puhong must know.

"Senior Uncle, Sect Leader?"

Pu Hong looked distressed; of course he knew where the Bloodthirsty Bead was.

Puzhi has already explained it, how could he not know?

But he couldn't say it.

He gave the Bloodthirsty Bead to a child and then had him become a disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

None of these points make sense.

Qin Hao's statement, "Merit is merit, and demerit is demerit," further illustrates his view on Puzhi.

Puzhi killed more than 270 people in Caomiao Village, a heinous crime.

They are not accepted by the world.

At least, Qin Hao would not allow it.

Now we can only hope that Qin Hao doesn't know that Puzhi is still alive and is just guessing based on some information from five years ago.

Qin Hao chuckled and said, "As for Puzhi, he has already passed away. Did you see Puzhi's relics, or did you see Puzhi being burned? I certainly didn't see either, so how do you know he has passed away? What do you say, you bald monk Puhong, do you think Puzhi has passed away?"

"Amitabha."

He kept calling me a bald monk, it really made me furious.

Unfortunately, he dared not do anything.

At this moment, he didn't even dare to speak.

Are we really going to lie and say that Puzhi is dead and has passed away?

Then they used the relics of their predecessors to deceive Qin Hao?
He was unsure and couldn't make a decision right away.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaofan and Biyao made eye contact for the first time.

This time, it wasn't Biyao who saw the Qingyun Sect disciples flying in from the air.

Instead, they actually looked into each other's eyes.

"What a beautiful girl, even more lively and pretty than my senior sister," Zhang Xiaofan thought to himself.

Biyao frowned, feeling a complicated feeling about this person.

Despite his unremarkable appearance, he was not considered outstanding among these cultivators.

It's a magical artifact that looks like a scepter, which is also quite strange.

Cultivators either wield swords, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, the Eighteen Weapons, cauldrons, or bells—these are all magical treasures.

But Zhang Xiaofan actually pulled out a stick?
What is this supposed to be? A fire poker?

Biyao was right; Zhang Xiaofan often used the Soul-Seizing Staff as a fire poker when he was cooking.

Just then, Biyao turned her gaze to Lu Xueqi beside her.

It's so cold, but so beautiful.

Two ideas popped into her mind, and Biyao chuckled.

The waiter then said with a smile, "What you say is true, sir. However, you may not know that a hundred years ago, this 'sleeping fish' was indeed unique to the Zhugou Mountains in the south."

However, when Dao Xuan Zhenren of Qingyun Sect passed by Zhugou Mountain, he specially moved the Meiyu back and placed it in Hongchuan, which is located on the shady side of Qingyun Mountain. Now, it has not only survived but has also gradually flourished.

We are fortunate to have this delicious meal thanks to the Daoist immortal of Qingyun Mountain!

As he spoke, a look of utmost reverence appeared on his face.

This sentence, however, somewhat angered Biyao.

Biyao grew up in the Demonic Sect and has a somewhat quirky personality.

In addition, when Biyao's mother, Xiaochi, was visiting her grandmother in the Six Fox Cave on Fox Hill, she was ambushed by righteous people. In order to protect her daughter Biyao, she chose to cut off her own flesh to feed her daughter, and ultimately sacrificed herself.

Therefore, Biyao's view of the righteous path was not good, or rather, at this time, Biyao naturally harbored some resentment towards these righteous people.

Upon hearing the waiter's words, Biyao angrily retorted, "What immortal? Where in this world are there immortals?"

These words startled Zhang Xiaofan and the others, who had been somewhat delighted by the waiter's words.

However, since they were all cultivators, what Biyao said didn't seem to be a lie.

There are only rumors of immortals in this world, but in reality, even the Qingye Ancestor of the Qingyun Sect did not become an immortal.

The idea that there are no immortals in this world doesn't seem to be wrong, does it?

After Biyao finished speaking, she was pulled away by a cold-looking woman next to her.

They can't easily lash out.

After all, it's not appropriate to target ordinary people.

In this respect, the righteous path, at least the disciples of Qingyun Sect, still have a relatively high moral standard.

But when they finished eating and went back to rest, they couldn't help but say a few more words.

After finishing their meal, they returned to the courtyard.

Qi Hao said a few words: "We'll rest here tonight, and tomorrow we'll go to Kongsang Mountain to explore."

Lu Xueqi snorted coldly and went back to her room.

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to do the same.

In the courtyard over there, Biyao was also somewhat angry.

Zhuque said, "You were a bit impulsive before."

Zhuque knew that Biyao must have been thinking about her mother's death.

I was a little sad, which is why I spoke without thinking.

Biyao nodded: "I understand, but we need to get up first thing tomorrow morning to go to Kongsang Mountain. However, I'm worried that these Qingyun Sect disciples might also be after Kongsang Mountain. I wonder if that will affect our plans?"

Zhuque thought for a moment and said, "Then let's play it by ear. But these are all junior disciples, the highest of whom is only at the ninth level of the Jade Purity Realm. I can handle them."

Biyao nodded, then said worriedly, "If they have the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon, then we'll be in trouble."

Although Zhuque is a master of the Shangqing Realm, he cannot act rashly.

The result of the strong bullying the weak is likely to lead to the Qingyun Sect launching a full-scale attack against the Demonic Sect.

At this time, they were not ready and it was not advisable to directly confront the Qingyun Sect.

Biyao knew that what her father wanted to do was to resurrect her mother.

That's what Biyao wanted to achieve too.

The next morning, Zhang Xiaofan and the others got up early, had breakfast at the restaurant in front, and prepared some dry food.

Only then did we prepare to set off.

Although they are cultivators, they can go without food for a day or two.

But not eating for a long time is also unbearable.

Therefore, some dry food is still necessary.

Zhang Xiaofan thought about the large amount of food, fasting pills, and other elixirs hidden in his bracelet.

He is the one you need to worry about the least.

It's just not good to reveal the fact that I have such a large storage device.

Meanwhile, Qin Hao had already arrived at the back, the true territory of Tianyin Temple.

Pu Hong invited him to rest in a secluded room.

Qin Hao wasn't in a hurry and just waited there.

He wanted to see what Puhong would choose.

Anyway, he gradually grasped a bit of the law of cause and effect, which allowed him to pinpoint Puzhi's existence.

There's absolutely no need to worry about him running away.

Without a responding causal law, or a powerful restriction, or an array, it is impossible to conceal it.

However, such a person does not exist in the world of Jade Dynasty.

Perhaps it existed in ancient times, but not now.

He wasn't afraid that Puzhi would escape.

If that's the case, then there's no need to worry.

Meanwhile, seeing that Qin Hao did not request to see Puzhi immediately, Puhong was also wondering whether Qin Hao really knew that Puzhi was alright.

Or is he just guessing?
"My two junior brothers, what do you suggest we do next?" (End of Chapter)
