Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 327 Ancestor Xuanxuan
"Greetings, True Lord Tiantong!"

Zhou Qingxia bowed respectfully to Zhou Qing.

She had already heard from Cao Yang that Zhou Qing was going to take the two of them to the Liuli Dojo to be questioned. She was feeling very frustrated, so hearing this news made her feel much better and she was naturally very grateful to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing nodded slightly to her and asked with a smile, "How are your injuries, fellow Daoist?"

Zhou Qingxia said, "It's all fine now."

Zhou Qing said, "That's good."

"Cao Zhenjun, let's set off."

Cao Yang knew that although Zhou Qing was incredibly powerful, his escape techniques were not sophisticated and his speed was not fast. So he released his sword light, enveloping both Zhou Qing and Qingxia in the sword light, and flew towards Zhongzhou.

Zhou Qingzhen was very envious of the Nascent Soul True Monarch's ability to control sword light.

Before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, cultivators can only fly on flying swords, which greatly limits their speed.

Even a True Monarch at the peak of the Golden Core stage can only fly 20,000 to 30,000 miles a day at most, unless they use a special flying magic weapon to break through this limitation.

The sword light of a Nascent Soul cultivator is different; it can easily travel more than 50,000 miles in a day.

Controlling sword light is a skill of Nascent Soul cultivators' Dharma bodies. Zhou Qing has not yet attained Nascent Soul status, and although he has studied it for a while, he still can't learn it.

Upon careful consideration, Zhou Qing felt that he already had a fairly rich repertoire of attack methods, but his escape techniques had yet to break through.

His current sword flight speed is at most seven or eight thousand miles per day, which is far inferior to that of Nascent Soul True Monarchs, let alone most Golden Core True Monarchs.

If he encounters an enemy, he has no choice but to burrow into the underground magma layer and use the magnetic field to shield himself from the heat to escape. There is no other good way.

After much thought, Zhou Qing felt that he should develop a better escape technique to enhance his ability to flee, in case his only means of escape failed.

However, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. For now, we should go to the Ruri Dojo to take care of some business.

The three of them traveled in silence and arrived at the territory of the Liuli Dojo three days later.

The Crystal Dojo is located in the Great Snow Mountain. It is entirely constructed of millennia-old ice, and under the sunlight, it is exquisite, translucent, and dazzling.

The disciples of the Liuli Dojo were all dressed in snow-white clothes and looked very arrogant.

From afar, Zhou Qing and his companions saw many flying swords heading towards the Liuli Dojo. They also heard melodious music coming from the direction of the dojo, so they guessed that the Liuli Dojo must be holding some kind of event.

The three landed a hundred miles away from the dojo, wanting to find out in advance what the dojo was doing.

After landing, Zhou Qing first found an uninhabited area and launched ten relay stations into the Qingqing layer above the thunderstorm layer.

This level is far from the ground and is not easily noticed. In addition, with flying swords piercing the sky near the Liuli Dojo today, no one could notice the relay station with only a faint spiritual energy reaction.

Zhou Qing operated ten relay stations, patrolling within a radius of a hundred miles, constantly paying attention to the surrounding situation. He soon discovered that the Glazed Dojo was truly a gathering of experts today, with over fifty Nascent Soul True Monarchs alone.

Most of them were Nascent Soul cultivators from the Glazed Dojo, while some were guests attending the grand event.

Zhou Qing checked the area and, finding no Nascent Soul cultivators, felt relieved.

He said to Cao Yang and Zhou Qingxia, "When we arrive at the Liuli Dojo, you two stay close to me and don't stray more than three zhang away from me, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you."

Cao Yang laughed and said, "Don't worry, True Lord, we would never dare to leave your side even if you killed us."

Zhou Qing smiled and nodded, then headed towards the Glazed Dojo.

The further they went, the more pedestrians they encountered. The cultivators who had arrived on their swords landed ahead of time as a sign of respect.

On the way, Zhou Qing and his two companions encountered two cultivators, one old and one young. The old man was short in stature, with a kind face and a peak Golden Core cultivation level. The young woman, however, was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl who had clearly just embarked on the path of cultivation and found everything new and exciting, looking around in amazement.

Zhou Qing and his two companions caught up from behind. As they passed by the two, the old man glanced at them and smiled, "Are the three of you also here to celebrate Ancestor Xuanxuan's birthday?"

Zhou Qing understood immediately; it turned out that today was the birthday of Xuanxuan Zhenjun, the Dao Master of the Liuli Dao Temple.

He smiled and nodded, saying, "Indeed, how shall we address you, fellow Daoists?"

The old man said, “This is my disciple Liu Wen. There is a Laozi Temple a thousand miles away from here. My disciple and I stay there. We are neighbors with the Liuli Daoist Temple. We usually receive a lot of help from the temple. Today is the birthday of Xuanxuan Zhenjun, so we have come to offer our congratulations.”

"May I ask where the three of you reside in your immortal realms?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "We come from a humble family, but our ancestors had some connection with True Lord Xuanxuan, so we came here today to offer our congratulations."

After saying this, he revealed the names of the three people, but did not explain their origins.

Gu Zhuzi didn't mind.

The birthday of the Mysterious True Lord is celebrated once every hundred years, and it is a major event for the Glazed Dojo. All forces, large and small, within the Dojo, and even the most prominent forces in the entire Central Continent, will make a gesture.

These three people were not greeted in advance by anyone from the temple, and they pressed their flying swords from a distance, so they were obviously not from any important forces.

There are at least eight hundred or a thousand such small forces within the Central Continent, most of whom are unknown by name, and Gu Zhuzi had no interest in asking further.

Since they had struck up a conversation, they decided to travel together.

Gu Zhu Zi had obviously participated more than once and was quite familiar with the situation. After learning that the three of them were attending Xuan Xuan Zhen Jun's birthday celebration for the first time, he said proudly, "Ancestor Xuan Xuan is a top expert outside of the four major Dao Palaces and is revered by cultivators all over the world."

“On his birthday, the four major Dao Palaces would send envoys to offer their congratulations as usual. The Dao Masters of the other six Dao Temples would usually come in person unless there was something important to do.”

"This is a major event for my Central Continent."

Zhou Qing casually offered a couple of words of praise.

Gu Zhuzi was about to recount some of his proudest moments from previous grand events, such as when the messenger from Dajue Temple came to offer his congratulations on his birthday, and the patriarch personally greeted him. The messenger passed by his seat, and his Taoist robe brushed against him.

He always considered this an honor.

Before he could speak, someone beside him called out, "Fellow Daoist Guzhu, it's been a long time!"

Gu Zhuzi looked over upon hearing the sound and saw two people stopped in front of them, looking back at them.

One of the two men was dressed in shabby clothes and looked to be in his fifties. However, judging from the weathered air about him, he should be a great cultivator who had been practicing for many years.

Beside the disheveled monk stood a tall, handsome young man with an air of arrogance.

Gu Zhu Zi exclaimed with delight, "Fellow Daoist Huang Long has also arrived! Is this your prized disciple?"

Master Huanglong laughed and said, "It is indeed my unfilial disciple Xu Hui. Why don't you quickly greet your Uncle-Master Guzhu and Junior Sister?"

The two young people exchanged names and greeted the two elders. After a long and complicated process, they finally quieted down.

Only then did Master Huanglong notice Zhou Qing and the others beside him.
