The Path to Immortality: Starting with an Analysis of Basic Concepts

"Uncle..."

Qin Yu got up to chase after him, but stopped abruptly at the car door. He turned back into the carriage, the anxiety on his face receding like water, and he regained his composure. He picked up his teacup, lowered his eyes and stared intently. The smoke rose up, but instead of dissipating, it transformed into names that gathered and dispersed uncertainly.

And the moment Zhu Yu stepped out of the carriage.

Those who had been watching his carriage shaft showed surprise as he swaggered into Qin Qi's convoy as if no one else was there, and entered the carriage shaft.

Qin Hou's chariot shaft.

"Tsk, Prefect Gelan is indeed straightforward; he really does his job when he gets paid. But even if Young Master Qi is colluding with outsiders, he's still the son of the 'Governor.' Quite audacious..."

The scholar in white lifted the curtain to look, marveling at the sight with admiration.

Qin Hou frowned almost imperceptibly, shook his head, and looked at the young man with his sword, who was leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed in rest. He said:

"Huaiwu, has Elder Jian replied?"

The young man holding the sword, Li Huaiwu, opened his eyes, nodded slightly, opened his mouth slightly, and spoke in a slightly dry voice.

"Our master, along with our eldest and second senior brothers, have already entered Yongzhou and will arrive soon."

"it is good."

Qin Hou's eyes lit up with joy. He turned to the white-robed scholar and asked, "Changying, what did Patriarch Mu say?"

The white-robed scholar Mu Changying replied with a smile, "Young master, rest assured, my father has already invited a few close friends, and they will certainly help you ascend to the position of heir apparent."

"Okay, okay..."

Qin Hou's eyes lit up with even more joy, and he immediately promised, "If I inherit the royal family and ascend to the position of governor, I will fulfill my promise immediately."

Upon hearing this...

Mu Changying looked excited.

A hint of joy also appeared in Li Huaiwu's eyes.

After a brief exchange, the three of them looked through the carriage window and landed on Qin Qi's carriage shaft, which was not far away.

Qin Chuan Chariot Axle.

"What is this idiot doing getting into Young Master Qi's carriage?...

Princess Sangma, dressed in green and with a delicate, girlish face, looked at Zhu Yu as he stepped into Qin Qi's carriage and asked in confusion.

Princess Huangqi, dressed in a yellow robe, drinking tea and reading a book, said with a smile, "These past few days, he has been playing both sides and has gained quite a few benefits. This time, he is most likely going to freeload."

Qin Chuan remained silent, staring at the carriage shaft with a cold expression in his eyes.

At this time.

In the carriage shaft, where everyone's eyes were fixed.

Zhu Yu sized up the boy whom Qin Yu had been eager to get rid of. His skin was so pale it was almost transparent, and his cheeks were sunken with blue veins, making him look like he was recovering from a serious illness. However, his eyes were exceptionally bright, revealing a light that Zhu Yu knew all too well.

It's nothing else.

It was precisely because the "divine sea" had been opened that the divine soul was overflowing with spiritual light, and in his perception, Qin Qi had not been "possessed" by anyone, but truly possessed cultivation.

"How is that possible..."

As Zhu Yu's thoughts surged, she seemed to realize something, her eyes suddenly narrowed to a single point, and her divine sense silently spread out, enveloping Qin Qi.

His memories flashed through his mind like a slideshow.

A short while later.

Zhu Yu snapped out of his daze and looked at the boy who had fainted in his chair due to excessive mental exertion. His gaze was solemn and his expression kept changing.

According to Qin Qi's memory.

The method he practices is identical in name to the method passed down by the "Heavenly Way Sect," also known as the "Basic Visualization Method."

However, the difference is that the basic visualization method of the "Heavenly Dao Sect" is to meditate on a pattern of three interlocking rings, while the basic visualization method practiced by Qin Qi is to meditate on a hexagonal pattern.

This familiar yet unfamiliar tradition immediately made Zhu Yu think about its origins.

"The Twelve Celestial Alliance".

The cultivation method practiced by Qin Qi most likely originated from a certain "spiritual ruin" of the "Twelve Heavenly Immortals Alliance".

To verify a certain idea in his mind, Zhu Yu tried to construct a hexagonal pattern with the power of his soul. At first, it went smoothly, but when he was about to draw the last stroke, an immense fear suddenly welled up in his heart. It seemed that as soon as the last stroke was made, something extremely terrifying would happen.

"really…"

Coming to his senses, Zhu Yu's expression became even more solemn.

As everyone knows, the "Heavenly Path Sect" method can only be practiced by those who have been enrolled in the "Sect"; otherwise, they will suffer a backlash and die suddenly.

The method practiced by Qin Qi clearly also possesses this characteristic.

His ability to cultivate indicates that he has been accepted into a sect, and also that he is not a pure-blooded member of the "martial world".

Considering Qin Qi's identity...

"Are the sects of the 'Twelve Celestial Alliances' already conquering the 'Martial World'...?"

A thought flashed through my mind: "May I wish you well."

However, unlike the "True Monarch Qingping's" forceful invasion, that sect seemed to be taking the path of assimilation, much like how the "Immortal Tomb Spirit Ruins" assimilated the "Qingping Spirit Ruins"...

"The Twelve Celestial Alliance..."

Zhu Yu frowned and pondered for a few moments. She glanced at the unconscious Qin Qi, raised her hand and grabbed a wisp of energy. She turned and left the carriage, not returning to drive the carriage, but striding out of the group.

"It's done?... "

Qin Yu's eyes lit up with joy as she watched him leave.

Qin Chuan, Qin Hou, and the others looked puzzled and sent people to Qin Qi's carriage to inquire about the situation. When the results came, they were even more confused.

They met without saying anything?

Upon hearing the news, Qin Yu's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. After waiting for a while without seeing Zhu Yu return, he had no choice but to return to his own carriage and decide what to do next.

the other side.

Zhu Yu left the group a hundred miles away, where a bronze gate appeared. He stepped inside, and when he reappeared, he was at "Qingping." Facing the direction of the giant mountain, he respectfully said:

"This disciple requests an audience with the 'True Lord' to report important matters..."

"This disciple requests an audience with the 'True Lord' to report important matters..."

The words fell.

He then felt an immense will gathering around him, and immediately a loud, bell-like voice resounded in his mind.

"speak."

Zhu Yu dared not be negligent, took out the aura he had extracted from Qin Qi, offered it with both hands, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Reporting to True Lord, this disciple suspects that the 'Martial World' has already submitted to one of the sects within the 'Twelve Celestial Alliances.'"

He then informed Qin Qi of the details of his discovery that Qin Qi possessed cultivation abilities.

To his surprise, "True Lord Qingping" did not respond to this, but simply absorbed the aura and dispersed silently.

When Zhu Yu returned to his "Original Spirit Ruins", he discovered a "Spirit Ruins Origin" floating in the air, glowing with a faint green light. Upon closer inspection, he found that there were a full thousand of them.

"Not bad, not bad..."

Zhu Yu smiled and, after a moment's thought, decided to divide the thousand "Spiritual Ruins Origins" and the nearly one hundred "Spiritual Ruins Origins" he had obtained from occupying the counties in the previous three days, and refine them together.

The thought settled.

As the "Origin of the Spiritual Ruins" dissipated and dissolved into the heavens and earth, the world expanded outward at a visible speed. The soil surged like waves, and the forest of graves rose several feet. The clouds spread, and the sky became higher and wider.

They were pleased with themselves for conquering and seizing territory over the past few days, continuously acquiring spiritual soil, as well as low-grade ores and spiritual herbs containing spiritual energy...

The expansion of "Benming Lingxu" went very smoothly without causing any disturbance. In a short while, its area expanded from more than 150 zhang in diameter to more than 260 zhang in diameter.

The surge in "natal spirit ruins" has brought about changes in all aspects of life.

For example, the "Spirit Ruins" barrier has become thicker and tighter, and can more easily resist the black water and external erosion.

The "Source Sea" has expanded from a radius of over one zhang to over two zhang, allowing it to hold and filter more black water and nurture more "Tuyu people"...

There's also the "source of magic"...
