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

what's the situation?
Didn't you just start clearing the way?

You came from the west with a single sword.

And then, you killed ten Rank 9 experts?
This isn't just any cabbage; it's a grade nine cabbage.

If placed in the underground cave, this would be equivalent to a city lord.

Although it is still incomparable to a true king, killing a ninth-rank official is far too easy for a true king.

But for the Heavenly King Cave today, this is an overwhelming victory.

"King Wu, you have committed a foul."

Song Wang shouted loudly, and at the same time rushed towards Zhang Tao with all his might.

Zhang Tao couldn't care less about listening to the story anymore and rushed over to stop Song Wang: "What foul? He hasn't broken through yet, has he? How could someone who just broke through to the ninth rank commit a foul?"

Song Wang shouted, "Since he can easily kill a ninth-rank official, he should be considered a true king."

"That won't do. We've agreed that no one should leave the stage lightly at the peak of cultivation. But there's no rule against it at the ninth rank, and he just broke through."

"Didn't he say he wanted to run three thousand meters a day?"

"That was just a casual remark. I also said I could go 100,000 meters in a day. Is that even possible? I was just bragging."

Qin Hao did not speak, but his sword did not stop.

After killing ten ninth-rank officials, the rest of the ninth-rank officials fled in panic.

Then kill an eighth-rank divine general.

If there are no more eighth-rank officials, then kill seventh-rank officials.

Qin Hao was indeed clearing a path, and in a short time, he had already cleared several hundred meters.

Those of the ninth rank around them were terrified.

At this point, people don't really value horizontality.

Generally, after driving about 100 meters, they will start to open up longitudinally.

But actually, the horizontal direction is also useful.

Just like the better the foundation you lay, the higher you can go in the future.

Furthermore, Qin Hao plans to pursue the path of the inner world, and then he will directly take back all the leverage over the Origin Dao.

We still need to go a bit further horizontally.

However, we must also move forward vertically.

At this moment, a lot of people wielding knives suddenly appeared and began to help clear the way.

Zhang Tao had just driven Song Wang back when he returned, and something seemed amiss. His lips twitched slightly as he asked, "What's this?"

Qin Hao said in a serious tone, "The sword is the king of all weapons, the monarch of weapons."

Qin Hao chuckled and said, "You should hurry up and reach an agreement with Song Wang and the others. I think we can ask for a super mineral vein. Then, I'll set up an array for you, enough to give you an underground city on Earth."

Ok?
Zhang Tao was taken aback, but he quickly went over to negotiate.

As for the follow-up, we'll ask again later.

Since we can't win anyway, why worry so much?
Qin Hao's future self was also opening up a path at an extremely fast speed, quickly creating a horizontal path of one thousand meters.

Qin Hao felt a slight increase in power.

Then, they began to expand vertically.

He was very fast, and in no time he had covered 300 meters.

"It's already at the ninth rank, third stage."

"That's too fast! How did he do that? How many times has he forged his golden body?"

In fact, Qin Hao's future self had already completed the Nine Forgings of the Golden Body.

This is actually not difficult.

When he can draw upon the power of his own body, the Qi and Blood Martial Arts are indeed much simpler and easier than other paths.

Qin Hao already possessed powerful mental strength and the ability to control his power.

This power is extremely easy to cultivate.

In fact, according to the power system of the world's high-level martial arts.

His blood and energy levels have reached 120 million calories.

At this point, he had definitely reached peak combat power.

Their mental strength is ridiculously high.

King Wu was not in a hurry at all, but King Song and the others were very anxious.

"One."

King Song said through gritted teeth, "If you don't agree, then let's start a full-scale war."

If it were the Zhang Tao of the past, he would naturally be afraid.

But Zhang Tao this year has already given up.

Anyway, there's still Wu Wukai, the Heavenly King, and Qin Hao, whose exact strength is unknown.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Qin Hao has already covered 1,000 meters horizontally today; he has already covered 500 meters vertically.

I made 3,000 meters today, and others thought I was bragging.

Zhang Tao, however, believed that Qin Hao could definitely do it.

This person is too mysterious.

He wasn't worried at all.

Besides, the great era hasn't arrived yet, and none of the Nine Emperors and Four Sovereigns would allow a major war to break out now.

So there's absolutely no need to worry.

Therefore, Zhang Tao's behavior today was very strange; he had no intention of backing down at all.

This puzzled Song Wang and the others.

In the end, they could only reluctantly agree to three mineral veins.

Zhang Tao thought about it and decided he couldn't rush things.

When it's time to show weakness, you should.

Having received the benefits, let's focus on development first.

"it is good!"

After Zhang Tao agreed, he walked back with a grin.

They acted as if they had gotten some incredible advantage.

In fact, Zhang Tao also felt that he had gotten a great deal.

However, a ring fell silently, and a voice came: "Refine it with your mental power, go collect the ore vein, but don't put it into the ring first."

"We'll take it over when we're on our own turf."

This is?

Storage ring?

Zhang Tao was taken aback, and then he discovered that the storage ring contained a length, width, and height of one hundred kilometers.

So big?
He wasn't unaware of storage treasures, but were those really that big?
Qin Hao's stamina is truly mysterious.

But it would be foolish to refuse a benefit.

At this moment, Qin Hao had already cleared a path for a thousand meters.

The original path has been concealed, but in reality, it is still being opened up; Qin Hao simply doesn't allow anyone to see it.

Song Wang said, "Zhang Tao, who is this? Now that he is a true king, he should announce his name."

Zhang Tao hesitated for a second before saying, "This is the ancestor of sword immortals secretly cultivated by my new martial arts school. You can call him the Immortal Sword King!"

He originally wanted to be called Sword King.

But Qin Hao didn't want to be called that; he felt it meant "cheap king."

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" sounds better.

In the world of Swallowed Star, people call him the King of Immortal Slaughter.

Although the two kings were not of the same rank.

Qin Hao arrived at Yuhai Mountain with a grin: "Greetings, everyone. I'll probably need to communicate with you all more often in the future."

He had already discussed it with Zhang Tao. Since there was one body with three forms, and Earth had lost a top-tier expert, it was very likely that war would break out here again after they left.

Then I'll leave it to him to stay here and oversee Yuhai Mountain.

Qin Hao thought about it and agreed.

It's not bad to fight with the underground caves when you have nothing to do.

Qin Hao's promotion thwarted the plans of the underground world. In the end, all they could do was rage in impotence.

After arranging things at the underground cave, Zhang Tao arrived at Yuhai Mountain.

There are two Qin Haos here.

Even seeing it again, Zhang Tao was still deeply shocked.

"You really cleared a path for three thousand meters?"

Qin Hao nodded: "Of course. Since I said that we will clear three thousand meters of road today, then it will be three thousand meters."

However, while he mentioned three thousand meters, he didn't specify that he would only drive three thousand meters.

He also needs to excavate a circle around the source path as soon as possible to complete the blockade.

Qin Hao said, "Let's go, I have a gift for you. And I haven't finished telling you the story from earlier."

Zhang Tao said no more, but then he saw this martial artist who was only a fourth-rank martial artist before.

He's already at the fifth rank, and at the peak of the fifth rank.

"Your Triple Burner Gate?"

"It's open now, do you want to take a look?"

With that, Qin Hao swung his sword and opened the Sanjiao Gate above his head.

A surge of spiritual energy erupted, already beginning to seal the door.

This?
Is cultivation now so casual?

Qin Hao laughed and said, "No need to overthink it. Although the upper limit of the Qi and Blood Martial Path is also extremely high, its difficulty is much lower. This path can be popularized among ordinary people, but its ultimate upper limit is much lower."

what?
This isn't just Qin Hao making things up.

The world itself is constantly evolving.

Later, Li Hao cultivated the Law of Time.

Then, when the myriad races came into being, the Civilization Masters cultivated divine runes, which was another direction of law cultivation.

A "civilization master" is a higher level than a martial artist.

This was ordained by the creator god of this world.

"Alright, let's not dwell on that anymore."

Qin Hao smiled and led Zhang Tao forward.

The situation seemed to suggest that Zhang Tao was not already close to the Emperor level, but was leading him, a sixth-rank cultivator.

Instead, it was Qin Hao, a sixth-rank official, who was leading Zhang Tao.

Extremely strange.

Soon, Qin Hao, carrying Cang Mao, brought Zhang Tao to Earth.

"Which way should we go now?"

"Just follow me."

Qin Hao said, "By the way, where were we before?"
Oh, speaking of the birth of the first emperor.

But he realized that he seemed to have been tricked; he had absorbed too much of the seed's power and discovered the seed's secret.

He couldn't get rid of it anymore, so an idea suddenly popped into his head.

Why not create more powerful players to share the burden of this vulnerability?

Therefore, he took in many disciples and guided them onto the path of becoming emperors.

And the achievement of each emperor is equivalent to the death of someone of roughly the same strength, namely, a level nine powerhouse.

what?
Although we know that there were many powerful people in ancient times.

However, it turns out that the success of every emperor is accompanied by the death of a powerhouse who has broken through to the ninth level?

If Zhang Tao remembers correctly, Qin Hao said that there were nine emperors and four sovereigns in ancient times.

"Doesn't that mean the deaths of nine early martial arts leaders?"

"That's right, so the conflict between the Origin Dao and the Primordial Martial Dao lies here. The subsequent deadly battle was also based on this. Of course, there was also the reason for the struggle over the Great Dao."

Qin Hao chuckled: "Since you've brought it up, then tell me more."

Did you know that a sage is merely someone who has broken through five levels of heaven?
The emperor is above the ninth level.

what?
Qin Hao seemed not to notice and continued walking forward, saying, "After the nine emperors returned to their positions, they gradually discovered the flaws in the Origin Dao."

"Is there a flaw in the original Dao?"

"Of course, you forgot what I said before. The power of the seed was absorbed by two powerful individuals. The place where it was absorbed is the flaw in the Origin Dao."

"I see. But what about the four emperors? Did they also kill a beginner-level martial arts expert?"

"No, the so-called Four Emperors are also known as the Supreme Heavenly Emperors."

"Qi and blood, physical body, and spiritual consciousness—any of these three paths, once reached their limit, breaking through the gates of the Three Burners and entering the realm of origin, one can become an emperor."

"What? Behind the Sanjiao Gate?"

"That's right. Do you think everyone is born with the Three Jiao Gate? That's just a divine artifact created by the Nine Emperors and Four Emperors to draw a portion of the power of all martial artists of the Origin Path behind the Three Jiao Gate. It's a way to kidnap all martial artists of the Origin Path."

"Why?"

"To fill the hole."

"what?"

"That's right, it's about filling the pit. Of course, the original emperor, the Heavenly Emperor, joined forces with the other nine emperors and four emperors to create an energy source to fill the pit. They wanted to fill the pit of the Origin Dao, but in the end, they failed shamefully. However, that thing is still there."

"You mean?"

"The sun in the underground cave."

"what?"

This once again shocked Zhang Tao.

Was the sun created?

"That's right, the sun was created."

However, it was originally built to fill in the gaps.

Who knew that, apart from a complete fool, a simpleton, and a straightforward person, the Nine Sovereigns, Four Emperors, and the Heavenly Emperor all had their own plans. Everyone had planted a backdoor on the sun, so what was originally a good solution ended up like this. The Nine Sovereigns and Four Emperors had no choice but to shatter the Heavenly Court, killing some members and secretly protecting the rest, awaiting the future.

"What do you mean?"

"It means that the ancient era ended because the Nine Sovereigns and Four Emperors could no longer continue."

They killed three idiots, and only then did they barely fill the gap.

The remaining eleven are to be waited for countless years, until a great era arrives, to cultivate new emperors to fill the gaps.

"Huh?" Zhang Tao was really going crazy.

So that's the truth?
At that moment, they had just arrived at the foot of Mount Tai.

Zhang Tao frowned: "Why did we come here?"

Qin Hao chuckled: "Since you already know that the Three Realms of antiquity were actually one, then you should also know that this entire world is made up of seeds, so why does Earth have no energy?"

Zhang Tao asked in confusion, "Isn't it because there's no sun in the underground cave?"

"Of course not. The sun in the underground cave is only used to modify the power of the seed, transforming the martial artist's blood and qi into energy. This was also the work of a certain emperor, or rather, a certain supreme heavenly emperor."

Zhang Tao has become numb.

He also knew that with a large number of people, there would be many different ideas.

Without consensus, no matter how good the strategies, they cannot be implemented.

"Then why does Earth have no energy? Is it because of some emperor?"

"good."

Qin Hao nodded approvingly: "You're quick-witted. This is the method of a certain emperor, and speaking of which, it's actually somewhat related to you."

"I?"

Zhang Tao pointed to his own nose and said, "You're not going to say that's my ancestor from so many generations ago, are you?"

“It’s not impossible. However, what I’m trying to say is that it’s related to your path.”

Qin Hao looked at Cang Mao: "Did you figure something out?"

The gray cat raised its paw and said, "It seems to smell like Old Man Ji here."

"Old Man Ji?"

Qin Hao explained, "He is the Human Emperor, he calls himself the Human Emperor. But he will never stand up for the human race, don't even think about it. He is also an old fox, in reality a hardline anti-human faction."

Seeing that Zhang Tao was on the verge of collapse, Qin Hao comforted him, saying, "But you don't need to worry, there is still an emperor inside who is close to Xinwu."

What?
Before Zhang Tao could react, Qin Hao added, "But this guy himself has gone mad. What he wants might not be what you hope for. So, if you're pinning your hopes on him, I advise you to just wash up and go to bed."

"Alright, we've arrived. You see, this is Ji's method." (End of Chapter)
