Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 351 Apprenticeship
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "The reasoning is very clear. The four major Dao Palaces only lured the cultivators from the Western Continent to the Central Continent in order to sow discord, but they did not have any real goodwill towards them."

“If we forcefully stop them, it will create an antagonism between us and all the cultivators in the Western Continent, but if we let them go to the Central Continent.”

"The resources of Central Continent have already been divided up by the major powers, so there is no surplus left for the cultivators of Western Continent."

“If Golden Core cultivators stay in the Western Continent, they have no hope of attaining the Nascent Soul stage. Do you think that if they go to the Central Continent, the four Great Dao Palaces will give them that hope? Do they really think the Central Continent is the Heavenly Court?”

"When they arrived in Central Continent, they found that they were not as happy as when they stayed in Western Continent. Naturally, they would become dissatisfied with the Four Great Dao Palaces. At that time, the immigrants of Western Continent would be in opposition to the Four Great Dao Palaces, which would be none of our business."

"Why wouldn't we do it?"

After a moment's thought, Bai Mei and the others found it reasonable and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, let's take this matter seriously. I will summon the leaders of the major Golden Core sects in the Western Continent to the Dharma Propagation Center and personally inform them of the news."

Zhou Qing smiled and nodded, then dismissed everyone.

Zhou Qing estimated that this matter would take a long time, and he could not go to explore the end of Qionghua Continent until it was finished. So he simply immersed himself in cultivation.

Zhou Qing has now opened up 135 dantians. Of these, 125 dantians are at the peak of the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, while the remaining 10 dantians are only at the initial Foundation Establishment level.

He wasn't in a hurry to level up all the dantian realms, so he simply opened up 150 dantians in one go and then broke through to the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

When Zhou Qing first obtained the spiritual vein of the Hongfa Temple, he was confident that he would never have to worry about a lack of spiritual energy again.

However, he underestimated his own progress.

Zhou Qing's current cultivation speed is terrifyingly fast, roughly equivalent to the cultivation speed of hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators simultaneously.

Such terrifying spiritual energy circulation could not be sustained for long, even by the main spiritual vein of the Dharma propagation center.

Throughout the history of the Dharma propagation center, countless Foundation Establishment cultivators have naturally emerged, but there has never been a case of hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators simultaneously lying on a main spiritual vein and frantically absorbing its energy.

Zhou Qing had to change the main spiritual vein every month, and the cycle repeated every five months, so that the spiritual vein had time to recover, and finally achieved the goal of sustainability.

As Zhou Qing's cultivation progressed rapidly, Bai Mei personally summoned the leaders of all the Golden Core sects in the Western Continent.

The news of Central Continent blocking West Antarctica has spread like wildfire, with all sorts of rumors flying around.

Many people are saying that the Central Continent has officially started a war with the Western Continent. The current situation is just a test between the two sides, and soon the cultivators from the Central Continent will launch a large-scale attack.

This rumor has caused widespread panic.

After all, in the eyes of the four neighboring continents, the Central Continent is the place where immortal cultivation flourishes. Cultivators from the Western Continent are inherently less courageous if they are enemies of the Central Continent.

Therefore, in recent days, many people have been secretly planning to escape from West Antarctica before the official start of the war. If they can reach Central Antarctica, that would be best. If they cannot reach Central Antarctica, going to the other three continents is also a good option.

If all else fails, fleeing overseas is better than staying in the Western Continent. Otherwise, with the arrival of the Heavenly Army from the Central Continent, the Western Continent will likely be scorched earth, and no one can guarantee their safety.

Many sects in Western Antarctica thus secretly prepared while awaiting definitive news.

Unexpectedly, the news was later confirmed to have originated from the Buddhist center.

When the Golden Core sect leaders of the Western Continent heard the news announced by Bai Mei, they all felt a sense of relief.

It would be ideal if Zhongzhou were willing to accept them and the Dharma center was willing to allow them to leave. Of course, they couldn't help but have their concerns.

This might be a scheme by the Hongfa Temple to lure out the snakes from their holes, feigning permission for them to move out, while the temple would use swift and decisive measures to deter others with disloyal intentions should anyone actually take action.

However, this situation is not a problem for these Golden Core sects.

Each of them has many affiliated families; we can just send a few families to test the waters and we'll know the result.

So all the Golden Core sects left with profuse thanks.

Zhou Qing hadn't personally intervened in these matters, but he still couldn't help but be bothered by them.

Some of his friends from the Qingyun Sect came to visit him when he came out of seclusion, and the topic inevitably came up during their conversation.

The first person they mentioned was Nie Yunxi.

Less than half a month after the Western Continent Sect Conference ended, it was Zhou Qing's turn to change his main spiritual vein. When he came out of his seclusion, he saw Nie Yunxi looking depressed and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Nie Yunxi sighed and said, "Yesterday, my master sent a senior uncle from the sect to see me. He said that the Illusionary Love Sect plans to relocate to the Central Continent and asked me to apologize to you on his behalf."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "I thought you were being asked to apologize on their behalf, so I asked you to come along."

Nie Yunxi retorted, "How could Master be such an unwise person? Everyone knows that I can't leave your side."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "The Illusionary Love Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect have always had a close relationship. I didn't expect that even they would leave. It seems that in the end, there will be very few sects that will choose to stay."

Nie Yunxi said, "It would be good if even one-tenth of them could stay."

He paused, then added, "However, not all members of the Illusionary Love Sect moved away; the lineage of Martial Aunt Qin Xue remained."

Zhou Qing said, "Ah, Qinxue, it's been a few years since I last saw her. How has she been lately?"

Nie Yunxi said, "I have communicated with her several times. Back then, you dismissed them and warned them to return to the sect and not set foot in the mortal world for ten years, so that they could focus on digesting what they had gained."

"Uncle-Master Qin Xue obeyed your orders and has been in seclusion at the Illusionary Love Sect. Over the years, her cultivation has greatly improved. She has established her own unique lineage within the sect and personally trained several disciples."

"When the Illusionary Love Sect moved to the Central Continent, she strongly advised against it, but all the sect leaders and elders advocated for the relocation, so she had no choice but to stay. Now she and her three disciples guard the vast Void Realm Mountain, discussing scriptures and doctrines every day, which is quite leisurely."

Zhou Qing smiled and nodded, saying, "Please pass on my message to Qin Xue, telling her that she can visit the Hongfa Temple more often when she has free time."

Nie Yunxi smiled and said, "Okay."

"She was overjoyed to hear that. Aunt Qinxue had always wanted to come and pay her respects, but she was afraid of disobeying your decree and being blamed by you."

"She always believed that the lineage she had established was mostly derived from her senior brother. She had the reality of being a master and disciple with him, but not the formal title of master and disciple, which she always regretted."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "If she is willing, she can become my disciple, but I may not have much to teach her."

Most of his skills cannot be acquired through learning.
