From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 188: Moving mountains to calm gods
After chatting with Yun Cai for a while, Li Qingqiu continued up the mountain, and along the way, he encountered Yuan Li again.

Since Yuan Li pioneered the path of body cultivation, he has focused on developing his internal energy. Although his cultivation level has not improved, his strength has been steadily increasing.

Yuan Li was equally excited to see Li Qingqiu, and he was also very curious about what kind of transformation Li Qingqiu had undergone after passing the tribulation.

Li Qingqiu didn't hide anything from his precious apprentice. He answered whatever Yuan Li asked, trying his best to satisfy Yuan Li's curiosity.

Finally, Li Qingqiu gave Yuan Li a lot of encouragement, saying that he believed he could become the strongest disciple in the sect in the future, which excited the usually composed Yuan Li.

Once back in the cave, Li Qingqiu sat on the stone bed and stretched.

Nangong E appeared and asked curiously, "Master, in your heart, who is the strongest disciple in the future of the sect?"

Lin Chuan and Chu Jing floated over as well, equally curious.

They followed Li Qingqiu and heard him praise many disciples, but they couldn't tell which words were true and which were false.

However, they had to admit that Qingxiao Sect did indeed have many geniuses. They couldn't imagine how powerful Qingxiao Sect would be once those geniuses had fully matured.

“They are all the strongest, but not forever. Even if it’s only for a moment, they are still the strongest,” Li Qingqiu replied.

After hearing this, the three ghosts looked at each other, unable to refute it.

Li Qingqiu ignored them, brought up the Daoist Heritage Panel, and activated the Divine Power Inheritance.

[Claim the Divine Power Inheritance Reward]

[Awakening the Inheritance of Taoist Tradition and Supernatural Powers]

[You have gained supernatural power—moving mountains and suppressing gods]

Whether or not to accept the inheritance

Moving mountains and suppressing gods?

That sounds really impressive!
inherited!

Li Qingqiu accepted the inheritance with anticipation.

……

The news that the Qingxiao Sect Master had survived the Heavenly Tribulation and withstood the lightning with his physical body spread rapidly down the mountain and to the surrounding areas of the Taikun Mountain Range.

The tribulation is too mysterious for mortals. Not to mention ordinary people, even the disciples of Qingxiao Sect are shocked by it. The sect leader often causes earth-shattering events, and after being shocked, they all become excited and proud.

In such a world, the story of Li Qingqiu's tribulation will inevitably ferment for several years. For many years to come, this matter will be mentioned by the people of the world. Just like Li Qingqiu killing Zhao Zhi, some people have only just received the news and are amazed.

The next morning, Li Qingqiu, who had just inherited the supernatural power "Mountain Moving and God Suppression", descended the mountain in a cheerful mood.

After working so hard for so long, he finally made a breakthrough, so naturally he had to take some time to check on the sect's situation.

As the sect leader, prolonged seclusion would cause serious problems.

As sects grow larger, dark things inevitably arise. He liked to wander around the sect from time to time, giving his disciples a chance to see him.

However, as soon as he stepped out of Lingxiao Courtyard, he saw three people waiting outside the courtyard below the stone steps.

Xu Hong and his mother, Xu, at Chanding Temple.

They were lingering when they saw Li Qingqiu, and their eyes lit up.

Holding her son, Xu stepped forward and knelt directly on the ground.

Li Qingqiu strolled down and asked, "What are you doing?"

Madam Xu gritted her teeth and said, "Sect Leader Li, ever since my son was abducted by the Yellow Springs Army, he has been suffering from an incurable disease that cannot be cured no matter what we do. I heard that Sect Leader Li is proficient in medicine, so I have no choice but to seek your help."

"Qingxiao Sect has a medical clinic, why don't you go there?"

“Even if they went there, they were helpless.”

Xu's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face.

The son in her arms turned his head slightly. His face was pale and his breath was weak. When he turned to look at Li Qingqiu, his eyelids could not be fully opened.

Li Qingqiu walked over, raised his hand and inserted three needles into the back of Li Huaizhen's small hand.

Upon seeing this, Xu immediately looked up at Li Qingqiu.

"Don't touch those three needles. Take him down to rest and recover before going down the mountain."

Li Qingqiu brushed past Xu Shi, and his words rang in Xu Shi's ears, leaving her stunned.

She hadn't expected Li Qingqiu to be so easy to talk to. Before coming, she had already heard about Li Qingqiu's relationship with her husband. She had even heard that Li Qingqiu knew about it and harbored resentment.

result……

Li Qingqiu looked at Xu Hong and smiled, "Since you're here, you can have a good chat with my disciples. I've spoken with your abbot before, and the Qingxiao Sect and Chanding Temple have a friendly relationship, so don't be too reserved."

Xu Hong was flattered and immediately bowed to Li Qingqiu.

Li Qingqiu continued down the mountain.

He said this not to win over Xu Hong and Chan Ding Temple, but because he genuinely admired Chan Ding Temple.

When the Demonic Sect caused chaos, Chanding Temple dared to risk its destruction to fight against them, which was worthy of Li Qingqiu's respect. Xu Hong was even more so; he still remembered the scene of Xu Hong holding a wooden stick and fighting to the death.

Li Qingqiu judges people not by their strength, but by their actions and character.

Xu Hong watched Li Qingqiu descend the mountain, then came to Xu Shi's side and said, "Benefactor Xu, I told you long ago that Sect Leader Li's magnanimity is not as narrow as you worry. No matter what kind of past your Li family has with him, he will not stand by and watch someone die. Your commission ends here. I will stay for a few days and then go back."

After saying this, Xu Hong raised his hand in a salute, turned around and left.

Madam Xu picked up Li Huaizhen and stood up. She saw her son's complexion recover visibly, and a smile appeared on her face. Li Huaizhen slowly opened his eyes and asked softly, "Mother... I feel... a little better... Was that person they were talking about... Uncle?"

Madam Xu said in a low voice, "You will get better. He is indeed your uncle, but you can't tell anyone about this. It's a secret, understand?"

Li Huaizhen's weak little face was full of confusion. At three years old, he didn't understand the things between adults, but he still nodded obediently.

the other side.

As Li Qingqiu descended the mountain, he was always greeted excitedly by his disciples along the way, which slowed his pace.

Xu Hong caught up with him and saw how beloved he was by his disciples, which filled him with emotion.

He discovered that although Qingxiao Sect had a strict hierarchy, there was no inviolable relationship between people of different statuses. In Chanding Temple, ordinary disciples could not speak to the abbot at will.

He became increasingly curious about Li Qingqiu, feeling that this person was extraordinary, not only because of his ridiculously high strength, but also because his thoughts and style were different from most people.

……

October arrived before they knew it, and the matter of Li Qingqiu's tribulation was still on the lips of many disciples.

On a cliff, Zhao Zhen faced Ziyang Peak, meditating and practicing his skills, specifically the Heavenly Gang Golden Body Technique.

Ku Yi and Ku Er came up behind Zhao Zhen. Over the years, the two of them had benefited from Zhao Zhen's influence and had also cultivated immortality. However, their talents were mediocre, and they had only reached the second level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm.

"Your Highness, a message has arrived from the foot of the mountain," Kuichi said softly.

Zhao Zhen closed his eyes and said, "I've told you so many times, don't call me Your Highness anymore. I'm no longer a member of the royal family. I'm a disciple of the Qingxiao Sect now. My past is irrelevant to me."

Ever since Yuan Li began cultivating his body, he had sparred with Yuan Li. In reality, it was just him unilaterally sensing the Qi.

After being punched by Yuan Li, he was rendered unable to fight, which greatly shocked him.

If it were a true life-or-death battle, he could evade Yuan Li's attacks, but even so, he couldn't convince himself otherwise.

He had to admit that deep down, he always felt that Yuan Li was inferior to him, and being surpassed by Yuan Li was something he couldn't accept.

He didn't look down on Yuan Li, but he felt that the gap between the two was objectively real. He was also afraid that Yuan Li would feel pressured, so he usually hung out with Li Yang.

result……

"The path of body cultivation... I too will forge my own path!"

Zhao Zhen was filled with fighting spirit. He was both unwilling to accept defeat and admired Yuan Li. All these emotions eventually turned into a fighting spirit, and he wanted to surpass Yuan Li again.

Ku Er then said, "It was a message from your mother."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, turned his body, and asked in surprise, "My mother? She's still alive?"

Ku Yi replied, "Actually, she has always been alive. It's just that His Highness realized back then that His Majesty might harm you and your mother, so he arranged for your mother to be settled in advance and then sent you to Qingxiao Gate."

"Where is she?" Zhao Zhen asked anxiously.

“She’s in Tianxuan Mountain in Beiliang. She’s doing very well now. Her second brother is already the Sword-Holding Elder of Tianxuan Mountain. She sent someone to bring a message, hoping you can go to Tianxuan Mountain to see her,” Ku Yi replied.

Go to Tianxuan Mountain?

Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "I'm still too young. I'm afraid my master won't agree."

“He definitely won’t agree. You can’t tell him about this. We’ve thought it over and we think it’s not suitable for you to go to Tianxuan Mountain right now. How about you go in two years?” Ku Er added.

Upon hearing that he could go two years later, Zhao Zhen immediately agreed.

Two years later, his cultivation will surely be stronger, and at that time, his master might agree to let him go down the mountain.

He had almost forgotten what his mother looked like, and the thought of seeing her again filled him with excitement.

Ku Yi and Ku Er exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief, especially Ku Er, whose eyes lit up with excitement.

"Don't tell the sect leader about this beforehand. There are many powerful families and factions within the sect now. Your identity is too sensitive. You can't cause trouble for your mother," Ku Yi reminded him.

After Zhao Zhi's death, royal family members across the land died one after another. Zhao Zhen was the purest royal son, and many people in the world were still searching for him.

Over the years, some people have approached Zhao Zhen, wanting to help him reclaim the world, but he has refused.

He preferred cultivating immortality to being an emperor.

"I understand. Let's talk about this again in two years," Zhao Zhen replied, then continued practicing.

He stopped disturbing Ku Yi and Ku Er and turned to descend the mountain.

……

As night fell, Li Qingqiu returned to Lingxiao Courtyard and saw Zhang Yuchun pacing around in the courtyard. Upon seeing him approach, Zhang Yuchun immediately went to greet him.

"We've discovered the whereabouts of the Lingtian Sect!" Zhang Yuchun said in a deep voice.

Li Qingqiu asked, "Where?"

“In Yuzhou, they are hiding in a city, concealing their identities. One of my disciples learned of this by chance. He did not act rashly but brought the news back. Who do you think we should send to eliminate Lingtian Sect?” Zhang Yuchun asked.

His implication was that Li Qingqiu should not go.

As the sect leader, Li Qingqiu's frequent trips down the mountain were detrimental to the sect's development. In his view, other disciples should be given more opportunities, even if there were casualties.

After a moment's thought, Li Qingqiu said, "What do you think of sending Shen Yue and Xue Jin with their men?"

Zhang Yuchun's eyes lit up, and he quickly replied, "Of course, with the two of them leading the team, there will be no mistakes."
