Humans are in the wilderness, God is in perfection!

call out!call out!call out!

Three arrows arrived in quick succession, traveling thousands of miles, and struck the target.

Xia Mangqing, who was thousands of miles away, finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

"Young master, your archery skills are already showing signs of becoming a master archer!" the old Taoist exclaimed in amazement. After returning to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Mangqing often practiced archery in the Snow Dragon Realm.

It has only been a little over a year, and he has already shown some of the qualities of a master archer, able to pierce the heart with an arrow even when separated by thousands of miles.

"We've only scratched the surface."

Xia Mangqing smiled modestly. Mental power is ethereal and elusive. Below the level of a Celestial Immortal, very few can enter the realm of cultivation, and even many immortals and gods have never truly cultivated mental power.

Xia Mangqing also had no method to guide him, so the only solution he could think of was archery.

There's no other reason than that he knows the true meaning of "the arrow flies, the heart flies," which is better than any complicated instructions. Even though he has been hunting down great sinners all these years, he still practices archery in his spare time.

Today, I can say that I have finally gotten the hang of it.

Of course, he has only touched the threshold. When he can truly cultivate mental strength depends on the changes in his character and whether he can be guided by other opportunities.

"The Crimson Bright Dojo probably doesn't have 'Hou Yi's Archery Techniques,' but it should have the method of using mental energy in archery summarized by Hou Yi. I'll have to look for it then," Xia Mangqing thought.

There is a very detailed method for the use of archery and mental strength in the Three Realms, which was created and summarized by Hou Yi!

It was precisely because Hou Yi created a systematic method for utilizing mental energy that the status of those divine archers in the Three Realms was able to rise rapidly.

This technique is not among the top ten great supernatural powers in the Three Realms—the "Hou Yi Archery Technique"—and many archers have learned it. Xia Mangqing believes that the Chiming Dojo should have this inheritance, and he can look for it when the time comes. If he can obtain it, it will be of great benefit to him.

As for how to cultivate mental strength, that's a very vague and abstract concept.

It has nothing to do with strength, but rather with one's Dao heart and state of mind. Otherwise, the Thunder God Celestial Venerable would not have been stuck in the second realm for such a long time, even less than many celestial gods and true immortals.

He left the Snow Dragon Realm and returned to his own residence.

Before they could do anything, a figure descended.

"Senior Sister!"

Xia Mangqing quickly greeted the visitor, who was none other than Qingyou Tianxian.

After his return, Qingyou Tianxian reported him for completing the mission, and then he disappeared without a trace.

After a year, we finally meet again.

The serene celestial being smiled faintly: "Junior brother, Master has sent word that he wants me to take you to Grandmaster's dojo."

"Yes," Xia Mangqing replied.

"By the way," Qingyou Tianxian added, "You can bring five followers. Although there are many restrictions on them within the dojo, it is also a great opportunity for them. You need to choose your candidates carefully."

"Five?"

Xia Mangqing nodded. This situation is quite common. The disciples they bring are similar to the menial disciples. They can cultivate in the dojo, but there will be many restrictions.

However, for any cultivator, this is a great opportunity. After all, going to the Dao Ancestor's Daoist temple might catch the eye of a certain immortal or god, at which point they could soar to great heights.

Such an opportunity is comparable to being reborn. It can make the followers under one's command more loyal, or make them grateful for this favor. Even if they become Dao Ancestors in the future and the oath of the Heavenly Dao is no longer valid for them, this favor can still bring them many opportunities and good fortune.

Emperor Xia is a similar example. He and Yinglong were sworn brothers. Later, Yinglong became the Dao Ancestor, but their friendship remained, which even made Emperor Xia's status within the Xia clan more special.

Therefore, most factions allow their disciples to bring along a group of followers when training them.

"Make your choice as soon as possible, and I will take you there."

Qingyou Tianxian spoke again, and Xia Mangqing nodded:

"Yes, Senior Sister."

……

In the void, a mountain peak floated, a majestic mountain that spanned a million miles, and it was the location of the Dao Ancestor Chiming's Daoist temple.

As you approach, you can see countless celestial palaces and mansions standing among them, as well as formations covering millions of miles of mountains. Unpredictable power flows, and a single wisp of energy seems capable of crushing a small world.

"The five of you can only travel in the outer realms, but this realm also holds boundless opportunities, and there are many celestial beings who live in seclusion and cultivate there. If you have the opportunity, you may be chosen by them."

Outside the Crimson Bright Dojo, a place shrouded in celestial light borders a great river. This river originates from deep within the mountains, is over a thousand miles wide, and flows ceaselessly and majestically.

On both sides of the great river, there are many celestial palaces and pavilions, inhabited by all kinds of beings. They are the residences of the disciples of the true immortals of the Crimson Bright lineage. The celestial palaces and caves are connected, and many powerful auras can be sensed.

The ethereal fairy allowed Xia Mangqing to choose a location, and Xia Mangqing then set up a fairy abode there.

Then, she began to give instructions, mainly to Xia Mangqing's followers.

Only five people accompanied him on this trip. The siblings Yu Chi Feng and Yu Chi Hong were included, while the remaining three were chosen randomly, all arranged by their former families, and he didn't care too much about them.

"Junior brother, come with me into the inner domain."

After giving instructions to Yuchi Feng and the other four, Qingyou Tianxian led Xia Mangqing towards the inner region.

This mountain peak has a diameter of over a million miles, and the surrounding area for 300,000 miles is the outer realm, the cultivation ground for celestial beings and beings below the celestial level.

Within an inner region with a radius of over 200,000 li, the celestial gods and true immortals who follow the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor have all established their Daoist temples here.

For example, Emperor Xia Mangxun of the Xia Dynasty established a Tianmang Palace.

Qingyou Tianxian then brought Xia Mangqing here.

"Disciple Qingyou/Xia Mangqing greets Master."

After entering the hall, Xia Mangqing and Qingyou Tianxian met Xia Mangxun, who was dressed in black robes. This was Xia Mangxun in his true form. He was also of human origin and had cultivated a second primordial spirit. Both of them were true immortals.

Under normal circumstances, his second primordial spirit resides in the Great Xia, while his main body cultivates at the Crimson Bright Dojo.

No need for formalities.

Xia Mangxun's expression was calm, yet he exuded an imperial aura that made people want to bow down in submission.

Among the rulers of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, Xia Mangxun possessed some of the demeanor of the ancient human emperors, managing the Great Xia World exceptionally well, and consistently ranking among the top in terms of fortune.

His imperial aura was naturally profound, capable of intimidating people even unintentionally.

However, Xia Mangqing and Qingyou were no ordinary people. At this moment, their expressions remained unchanged as they slowly rose to listen to Xia Mangxun's teachings.

"Qingyou, you may leave now."

"Yes, Master."

The ethereal celestial being bowed and then withdrew from the hall.

After she left, Xia Mangxun looked at Xia Mangqing, and after a brief silence, smiled faintly: "I heard from your grandmaster that you obtained a great fortune before, and are now a disciple of a Dao Ancestor?"

"Yes, Master."

Xia Mangqing did not hide it.

Some things can be hidden, but some things cannot.

He gained good fortune in the Crimson Bright Realm. Unlike the Three Longevity Daoist, the Snow Dragon Daoist is still alive and has a good relationship with the Crimson Bright Daoist. It is possible that the two Daoists had already contacted each other the moment Xia Mangqing became the Snow Dragon Daoist's disciple.

Of course, Xia Mangqing was too lazy to think about the specifics. Anyway, the Xia Emperor already knew, so the source was no longer important.

"Very good." Xia Mangxun smiled and said, "I never expected that you would have such good fortune. Your chances of becoming an immortal have greatly increased. But you must remember not to be arrogant. You must be down-to-earth and diligent in your cultivation, so as not to displease the Dao Ancestor."

Xia Mangqing was overjoyed to become a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, since a disciple of the Dao Ancestor rarely fails to transcend the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation and has a chance to become a Heavenly God or True Immortal.

If Xia Mangqing succeeds, the foundation and strength of the Great Xia Dynasty will be even stronger, and its fortune will be even more profound.

Moreover, Xia Mangqing is also his disciple. If Xia Mangqing were to become a Celestial Immortal or even a Celestial God True Immortal, how could he not be pleased?

"Your disciple will remember this."

Xia Mangqing replied respectfully.
