Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 365 Reunion with an Old Friend, Second Generation Immortal

Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Zhou Qing was about to continue his seclusion and cultivation when an unexpected guest arrived at the Dharma propagation center.

That day, Nie Yunxi and Wei Xu mysteriously led two people, one adult and one child, a man and a woman, to the place where Zhou Qing was in seclusion, and then leisurely watched Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing glanced at the newcomer and exclaimed with delight, "Little Tiger, what brings you here?"

However, it was Wang Xiaohu who had already returned to Yunzhou City.

Nearly forty years have passed since I last saw Wang Xiaohu. He has changed a lot. He has gone from a lively and energetic boy to a middle-aged man with a big belly, looking like a wealthy and contented old man.

Upon seeing Zhou Qing, Wang Xiaohu was so excited he almost cried. He patted the seven or eight-year-old girl beside him with his large, calloused hand and said, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and kowtow to your senior uncle!”

The little girl bears a resemblance to Wang Xiaohu in her features, but her bone structure is far superior, making her a natural beauty. This must be due to the positive influence from her maternal side.

Upon hearing her father's words, the little girl hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed several times earnestly, saying, "Wang Miaoyun greets her senior uncle, wishing him a long life and great success in the path of immortality!"

After saying that, he raised his head and secretly looked at Zhou Qing, the legendary figure his father often talked about.

Throughout the entire Great Qian Dynasty, my father was an unparalleled figure, capable of deciding the rise and fall of dynasties and the changing world with a single word. Yet, when this unparalleled figure spoke of his senior brother, the reverence in his expression was like that of a beggar on the roadside gazing at an emperor's carriage.

This planted a seed of curiosity in Xiao Miaoyun's heart from the time she could remember, making her want to see what kind of person this senior master was.

Now that they've met, she feels that her imagination has been proven true.

This senior master's body seemed to be carved from white jade, and he had an aura that was out of place in the mortal world, as if he might transcend and enter the heavens at any moment.

Wang Miaoyun was sizing up her senior uncle when she suddenly saw his gaze sweep over her like lightning, which startled her so much that she quickly lowered her head.

Zhou Qing smiled and asked, "When did you get married?"

Wang Xiaohu chuckled and said, "A few years ago, there was an overconfident rogue cultivator who, despite only having the cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining, thought himself great and set his sights on becoming a king and enjoying the pleasures of the mortal world."

"He set his sights on the imperial family of the Great Qian Dynasty, forced his way into the palace, and demanded that the emperor pass the throne to him."

“Although I have kept a low profile and rarely left Yunzhou City since I returned, I still had some contact with the Daqian royal family. So the emperor sent someone to ask me for help.”

"So I banished that rogue cultivator and saved the Great Qian royal family."

“The emperor insisted on marrying his daughter to me, saying it was to repay my kindness. I thought that since I couldn’t achieve enlightenment, I should at least leave behind an heir, so I agreed.”

"This child is eight years old. When she heard that I was coming to see my senior brother, she begged me to bring her along."

"Are you satisfied now that you've finally met your eldest grand-uncle?"

Wang Xiaohu smiled at his daughter.

Wang Miaoyun blushed with embarrassment when her father teased her, and dared not raise her head.

Zhou Qing went over and helped her up, checked her condition, and said, "She hasn't started cultivating yet, why don't you teach her the techniques?"

Wang Xiaohu laughed and said, "How dare I pass on the cultivation technique without reporting to the sect?"

According to the Qingyun Sect's family rules, even members of affiliated families cannot privately teach Qingyun Sect techniques unless they have officially joined the sect. Wang Xiaohu is never confused about important matters, so he has always strictly followed the rules. This time, besides that important matter, he also wanted to obtain the sect's permission to teach his daughter techniques ahead of schedule.

He thought that with his relationship with his senior brother, this matter should not be difficult, so he returned to Qingyun Sect excitedly.

Who knew that the Qingyun Sect was already deserted, with only a few disciples still maintaining the sect's basic operations.

After inquiring, he learned that most of the Qingyun Sect members had moved to the Hongfa Daochang, and that his senior brother had become the ruler of the entire Western Continent.

After learning about all the events that had happened in West Antarctica over the years, Wang Xiaohu was utterly dumbfounded.

He had long known that with his senior brother's talent, he would surely have a place in the cultivation world of the entire Western Continent and even the Qionghua Continent in the future. However, he never expected that in just a few decades, his senior brother would achieve such an astonishing feat.

Zhou Qing nodded and smiled, "I really like this child. I'll ask Fellow Daoist Bai Mei for a suitable cultivation technique for her, and she can stay here to cultivate from now on. What do you think? Are you willing to let her go?"

Wang Xiaohu grinned from ear to ear and said, "Being able to cultivate with Senior Brother is a blessing she could never attain in several lifetimes. Why would I be reluctant to part with her?"

He glanced at his daughter and saw that she was still standing there, seemingly stunned by the news. So he gently kicked her and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and thank your senior uncle!"

Zhou Qing waved his hand, dismissing Wang Miaoyun's formalities, then looked at Wang Xiaohu and said, "Xiaohu, I see a deep sorrow between your brows. I'm afraid your visit to me this time is not just to reminisce?"

Upon hearing Zhou Qing mention the serious matter, Wang Xiaohu's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. He said, "Senior Brother, the people of Daqian are on the verge of starvation. Please, Senior Brother, save them."

Zhou Qing asked, "What happened?"

Wang Xiaohu said, "Junior brother doesn't know the inside story either. It's just that since two years ago, the sea monsters around the Great Qian have become more numerous, and they often come ashore to hurt people, which is very bothersome."

"If that's all there is to it, we can simply have the people migrate inland. Although life will be harder, it won't be unbearable."

"But in the last six months, the situation suddenly deteriorated. The number of sea monsters increased dramatically. Standing on the shore and looking ahead, almost all you could see were the evil eyes of sea monsters."

"Junior Brother knew that something unusual must have happened in the sea, so he flew westward on his sword to investigate."

"My junior brother flew for two months straight. He saw that the sea beneath his feet was teeming with monsters, while to the west, some distance away, an unimaginable terrifying aura rose into the sky and reached the heavens."

"With just one glance, my junior brother was terrified by that aura and dared not go any further, so he hurriedly returned to Daqian."

“I suspect that the monsters in the sea must have been driven here by the owner of that aura, and the owner of that aura seems to be slowly migrating this way.”

"When the owner of that aura approaches the Great Qian, the entire land will likely be shaken, and the people on it will hardly survive."

"That's why I rushed to ask my senior brother for help, hoping that he could send people to bring the people of Daqian to the Western Continent to live."

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, Zhou Qing couldn't help but frown.

The terrifying aura that Wang Xiaohu described instantly reminded Zhou Qing of that enormous sea monster.

It is probably the only thing capable of driving away the monsters in the entire ocean.
