Chapter 80: The Nation-Destroying Beast, the Sky-Swallowing Dragon
green hills.

Groups of warriors swarmed up and crowded around the hundred-foot-tall monument, carefully reading the words on it.

Zhao Wei, the chief commander of the Qin State's Shenwu Division, came hurriedly, wearing a set of pitch-black one-piece armor and with a sharp blade slung across his back.

"It's the Absolute Sword King!"

When the crowd saw him, they consciously made way for Zhao Wei to move forward smoothly.

"General Zhao, there is a major discovery! The text on this hundred-meter-high stele is actually ancient text from the Spring and Autumn Period." A scholar who was translating the inscription on the stele looked up and saw Zhao Wei and said hurriedly.

During the Jin Dynasty, there was a female student living under the green mountains. She recorded history with pen and ink. Although her surname is unknown, she called herself "Chun" in the three pages of the book. In between the lines, she mentioned many interesting childhood memories with her brother Qiu: fertilizing and planting crops together, catching fish and shrimps, and flying kites in the fields.

"Qiu" was extremely intelligent since childhood. He could read and write at the age of eight. He was famous in the countryside and was known as a child prodigy.

Afterwards, "Autumn" ran away from home with a white-bearded old man and became a disciple of Qingshan. This was the period when he was closest to the immortal Qingshan.

Many scholars speculate that this "Qiu" is most likely one of the wise men whose names were lost in the "Qingshan Chuan" during the natural disaster and war three hundred years ago.

The disciples of "Chun" all took it as their responsibility to record Qingshan's words and deeds. Later, a scholar discovered the great sage who "created characters" - Cang in the inheritance.

He is also the founder of modern writing.

It turns out that our ancestors were so interesting when they were young. Until now, the events of the "Spring and Autumn Period" have gradually become known on the Internet.

Therefore, that romantic period when Qingzi was alive and many saints and wise men emerged was gradually called "Spring and Autumn Period".

Zhao Wei looked solemn and nodded, his rough hands gently stroking the mirror-like monument:
"During the 300-year natural disaster period, the Qingshan ancestral land was hit by eight meteorites, suffered more than 300 earthquakes, and was set on fire by thieves. In the end, it was flattened by people."

"After the king unified the country, he rebuilt the Qingshan Temple here and enshrined the Seven Saints and Eighty-Nine Sages. Later emperors all worshipped Qingshan here, but no one has ever discovered this monument."

"The timing of its appearance..." Zhao Wei pondered, frowning.

The scholar also found this quite strange: "The king wanted to complete the Qingshan Chronicle and sent thousands of scholars to explore various places in Qingshan for decades, but found nothing."

"It's impossible for something this big to remain undetected in Qingshan forever."

Zhao Wei's eyes were fixed on the hundred-foot-high monument that looked like a small mountain. His gaze was as deep as the abyss. "Why did the legendary Qingshan Immortal choose to show up at this moment?"

"General Zhao, the translation is ready."

At this time, another scholar handed the translated text to Zhao Wei respectfully, "This seems to be an extraordinary skill."

Zhao Wei took the translation and read it word by word: "Purple, Xia, Xian, Tian, ​​Gong."

As he read deeper, Zhao Wei's face gradually became shocked, "This... This is actually a martial arts inheritance above the Xiantian realm..."

In the thirty-ninth year of the Qin Dynasty's spiritual revival, innate methods emerged like mushrooms after rain.

However, even the strong man who was praised as the "pillar of the country" could not cross the threshold of Xiantian. He and many Xiantian masters believed that the road of martial arts had come to an end, so they took a different approach, imagining that if people could control "spiritual energy" like a giant beast, they might be able to reach a higher realm.

However, the limitations of the human body make it difficult for the "spiritual energy" to be retained, and they are secretly exploring the secret of absorbing the "spiritual energy". At this moment, a ready-made martial arts inheritance appears before them. It turns out that as early as 5,000 years ago, there were sages who walked ahead of them.

Zhao Wei read to the end without missing a word.

"Those who comprehend this diagram will inherit my martial arts will and be preserved for the Qingshan Taoist Master - the Qingshan Taoist Master."

Zhao Wei slowly raised his head, his eyes focused on the two faintly visible atlases - the Monkey God Fighting the Sun and the Taoist Sword Slashing the Sky. Although the atlases were magnificent, he only felt that their form did not capture their spirit.
He looked at the warriors present, asking one by one if anyone could gain sudden enlightenment from this, but the only response he got was silence and shaking of the head.

"Zixia."

A scholar raised his glasses and stood up and said, "This name was mentioned in a record by the Sword Saint Qingfeng. There is a peak on the Qingshan Mountain named Zixia, which is the former residence of the immortal."

Another scholar said: "Zixia also appeared in the records of "The Sword-wielding Man in the Green Mountain". This "Zixia Xiantian Gong" is the first "Xiantian method" practiced by warriors in the Spring and Autumn Period. This must be the martial arts of immortals!"

【Zhao Wei made a prompt decision and solemnly sent this "Purple Cloud Innate Skill" back to the Qin State's first pavilion. After careful research by the masters, they found that this skill can not only cultivate "Purple Cloud Qi", but also prolong one's life.】

【Compatible with all "Innate Methods". 】

[It also has an astonishing effect - it can improve the practitioner's qualifications and even allow people to return to their original state.]

[Soon, the nine-year compulsory martial arts popularization included a new skill called "Zixia Xiantian Gong". This skill is most effective for six-year-old children, and can greatly improve their qualifications and understanding, paving a broad and smooth path for their future martial arts journey.]

【Three years later, the Qin State launched its first hunt for the nation-destroying beast, the Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon, in the coastal city of Weicheng. After a brutal fight, one king and seven dukes died tragically on the battlefield, and the rest of the kings and dukes were also seriously injured. The Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon also had its tail and horns cut off, and with its severely injured body, it fled into the deep sea and escaped.】

[After that, the Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon bore a grudge against the Qin State, and would come to extort money from it from time to time.]

【Ten years later.】

[The Qin State, relying on the profound heritage of the "Purple Clouds Innate Skill", has produced dozens of "king"-level strongmen at a time of crisis.]

[The two sides clashed again, and the former might of the Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon was completely gone. It was beaten and fled in panic.]

【Fifty years later, the storm is brewing again. 】

[That Sky-Devouring Dragon acted recklessly on other islands, devouring the human race of several countries. In doing so, it actually completed another evolution and possessed the amazing ability to control the "power of wind and rain."

It caused huge waves, raging like a wild beast, flooding large areas of coastal cities, causing great suffering and grief.

[He gathered many giant beasts under his command, forming a force that could not be underestimated. They launched a fierce counterattack against the Qin State, causing the Qin State to lose most of its territory and the situation was critical.]

[Faced with the Heaven-Swallowing Flood Dragon's shocking transformation, everyone in the Qin State's Headquarters looked solemn and frowned. The Heaven-Swallowing Flood Dragon not only increased its strength, but also possessed wisdom and could control the power of wind and rain.]

[At this moment, it can no longer be simply viewed as a giant beast, but should be called a - demon! ]

【Big demon!!】
