Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 352: The Wind and Clouds Disappear
Nie Yunxi smiled and said, "Senior Brother, there's no need to be modest. The path to the Great Dao may differ, but the destination is the same."

“We cannot comprehend the level of our senior brother, but if he only gives us a few pointers on things we can understand, we can save ourselves many years of hard work.”

"Just like the development of the formations in the Western Continent over the years, it has already innovated all the related knowledge based on the senior brother's wave theory."

"It's a pity that this relocation is going to interrupt what is just the beginning of its vigorous development."

Nie Yunxi felt deeply sorry about this.

Zhou Qing then realized that he seemed to have been away from formations for a long time and had no idea what progress had been made in the formations of the Western Continent.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Human energy is not limitless; even he cannot do everything perfectly at the same time.

He needed the formation as a stepping stone to acquire more resources, and at the same time, he used the formation to conceal his special abilities.

But now, he has become the ruler of the Western Continent, and he no longer needs the stepping stone of the formation, nor does he need to hide his special abilities.

Now, all the cultivators in Qionghua Continent should understand that they possess something that others absolutely do not have, which is why they can do things that others cannot.

But knowing it doesn't help.

……

Ever since Nie Yunxi reported the relocation of the Illusionary Love Sect to him, people have been coming to him with similar news.

For example, when Chen Qingxuan came to see him and talked about the relocation of the Crimson Fire Sect, he subtly expressed the Crimson Fire Sect's apology in his words.

Elder Xuanzhe also came to report the news of the relocation of Xianlin Lake.

These were all friendly sects that initially formed an alliance with the Qingyun Sect. Even they have relocated, which shows that very few people in the entire Western Continent have high hopes for him and believe that he can gain the upper hand in the confrontation with the Central Continent.

Zhou Qing quickly grew tired of these messages, so he declined all visitors and plunged back into his cultivation.

He continuously opened up new dantians at a rate of about one dantian every ten days.

Another month passed, and he finally succeeded in opening up 150 dantian.

Zhou Qing walked out of his secluded retreat with satisfaction, and Nie Yunxi immediately came up to him, smiling and saying, "You've finally come out. A guest has been waiting for you for half a month."

Zhou Qing asked curiously, "What kind of guest?"

"You'll know once you go and see them."

Zhou Qing returned to his dojo. Before even entering, he heard Qingyuan's cheerful laughter from inside, and thus guessed that a guest had arrived.

He walked into the living room and, as expected, saw Master Qingmu of the Longevity Sect chatting with Qingyuan.

Qingyuan had already guessed that Master Qingmu had used a secret method to cut off a part of his emotions. In the past, he naturally couldn't help but feel resentful. However, after living by Zhou Qing's side for a long time, he saw and heard about major events that most cultivators in the Western Continent would never encounter in their entire lives. His mind became much more open, and he put aside his resentment and chatted with his father.

"What brings you here, Master, to this Dharma propagation center?"

Zhou Qing smiled.

Master Aoki said, "I don't have to be busy moving like others, so how could I not have time?"

Zhou Qing understood and said, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint the Master's trust."

Master Aoki said, "Since your birth, you have never disappointed anyone, have you?"

"Besides, this time it was Zhongzhou that took the initiative to build a wall on the border between the two sides. No matter how you look at it, they are taking a defensive stance. If they weren't wary of you, they wouldn't be so cautious."

Zhou Qing said, "You're one of us, so there's no need to hide these things from you." "They can't do anything to me, but I can't do anything to them either. It's hard to say who's better or worse in this respect."

"They only devised this plan to trap West Antarctica because they were in a favorable position and had all the resources at their disposal."

"Now they are the ones who set the trap, and I am the one who breaks it. If I cannot break the trap and this situation continues, although they cannot do anything to me, in the end I will lose."

Master Aoki asked, "How can we determine if this impasse has been broken?"

Zhou Qing said, "Their scheme has only one purpose: to wear me down."

"They can't deal with me, so they've adopted a defensive stance. If they can hold out until my lifespan runs out, they'll win."

"Therefore, they moved the four Dao Palaces to one place and stored all the spiritual medicines in the world in the Dao Palace, which was always guarded by at least four Nascent Soul cultivators."

"Without spiritual herbs, I cannot refine the Gold Melting Pill, so I am locked at the Nascent Soul stage or above."

"Those who don't reach the Nascent Soul stage will live no more than eight hundred years. Many of them are at the Nascent Soul stage or even the Divine Transformation stage, and their lifespan is often several thousand years."

"When my lifespan is exhausted, they will still be the dominant force in the world, unshakable by anyone, and then they will have won."

"Therefore, to break the deadlock, we must first break their monopoly on elixirs."

"If I cannot break the monopoly, not only will my own future be ruined, but you, who have followed me through thick and thin, would also be betraying your trust if I cannot help you achieve the Nascent Soul stage."

Master Aoki shook his head and said, "We are nothing but bones in a tomb. It is only because of you, young friend, that we have finally gained a glimmer of hope. Even if we take away this hope now, it is not a loss."

"As for you, young friend, your genius is unmatched even in the golden age of antiquity. You are truly a seed of immortality. It would be a great pity if your path to immortality were cut off here."

Zhou Qing said, "Master, there's no need to despair. Now that things here are settled, I plan to go to the end of Qionghua Continent to investigate. Perhaps there's a way to reach other continents."

Master Qingmu pondered for a long time before saying, "When I was young, I also tried to go to the end of Qionghua Continent, but at that time I only had the Foundation Establishment cultivation level and failed to reach that point. I was forced back by the turbulent flow of spiritual energy."

“I have read the notes of the predecessors of the Longevity Sect and know that a Golden Core senior went there, but after returning, he refused to say anything. He just became depressed and never recovered.”

"I will not stop you from going there, but no matter what happens, you must not be discouraged."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Rest assured, Master."

Master Aoki did not linger for long before taking his leave.

Qingyuan escorted Qingmu Zhenren away on behalf of Zhou Qing.

Seeing that Master Qingmu had left, Nie Yunxi smiled and said, "There is still one person waiting for Senior Brother to return."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I already know. Let her in."

Nie Yunxi smiled and agreed, then went outside and brought in a few people.

At the front was Qin Xue, whose temperament had become increasingly calm and ethereal, followed by three girls around fifteen or sixteen years old, who had just shed their childishness.

Upon seeing Zhou Qing, Qin Xue's eyes revealed an undisguised excitement and nervousness.

"Greetings, Master Zhou!"

Qinxue stepped forward and bowed.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "No need for formalities. I already know your intentions. If you have no objections, I will take you under my wing and make you my first formal disciple. How about it?"
