Xuanjian: Jade True Sword Immortal, my Dao Wisdom keeps increasing.

Spiritual practice knows no time.

Several months have passed quietly.

Purple Smoke Blessed Land.

Pavilions and towers are everywhere, shrouded in mist and clouds.

At this moment, the purple qi in the sky continuously converged towards Purple Qi Peak, dancing up and down, enveloping the entire Purple Qi Peak in a thick purple qi.

At the summit, a female cultivator in flowing robes, with a purple dot between her brows, sat cross-legged on the sacred platform.

Her expression kept changing, sometimes smiling, sometimes sad and heartbroken, as if she were recalling the past.

This person is none other than the Perfected Master Zi Pei, who has attained the Five Perfections.

The death of her lover, Li Jiangqun, was such a blow to her that Master Zipei suffered in the mortal world for over four hundred years.

For her, death was a relief.

However, she persevered in order to explore the path of seeking the Purple Qi in the blessed land.

Taixu.

The divine light shimmered, and many True Immortals from the Purple Mansion came to the Blessed Land of Purple Smoke to witness the ceremony.

Dressed in white, with a jade sword at his waist and a jade spirit light between his brows, Jiang Heqian stood in the void with an inscrutable expression, carefully observing the movements on the blessed land of Ziqi Peak.

He thought to himself:

"The True Qi and Purple Qi are in harmony, Yin and Yang. True Qi represents Yang, and Purple Qi represents Yin. Only when True Qi manifests in the world can Purple Qi be properly formed. This True Man Zi Pei was born in the wrong era; how tragic and lamentable."

Just as Jiang Heqian was pondering, a flash of magical light appeared beside him, and two Purple Mansion True Persons emerged from it.

A tall, middle-aged male cultivator with regular features, and a petite female cultivator dressed in gorgeous clothes.

The Great Immortal Zimu, the Immortal Tinglan.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Heqian bowed respectfully and said:

"Junior Yu Yan greets Senior Zi Mu and True Person Ting Lan."

Zi Mu, whose face resembled that of a deity, smiled and nodded, then said softly:

"A few days ago, Zi Mu was in seclusion at Zi Yan Blessed Land and missed Master Yu Yan's Dharma assembly. Now that Senior Sister Zi Pei has broken through to the Golden Core stage, upon hearing that Master Yu Yan has come to attend the ceremony, Zi Mu has come to see her."

"Master Yuyan has good fortune. He broke through to the Purple Mansion in just twelve years of seclusion. His cultivation of the Jade True Dao must be extremely profound. Zimu has come here specifically to discuss the Dao."

Master Zimu is known as the person with the highest level of cultivation in the Purple Palace of the Sun Dao lineage in this generation.

With his natural talent, he is more than capable of practicing the ancient methods of breath cultivation and self-cultivation.

Jiang Heqian dared not show off his skills in front of him, and waved his hands repeatedly, saying urgently:

"This junior, Yu Yan, has only received a few strokes of luck. Senior Zi Mu, your cultivation is profound. This junior dares not discuss the Dao with you, Great Master."

Upon hearing this, Zi Mu, whose face was as smooth as jade, was not annoyed. She asked in a calm voice:

"Does Yu Yan know about the Dao of True Qi?"

Jiang Heqian replied calmly:

"Yu Yan is unfamiliar with this path, please teach me, senior."

Zi Mu turned his head, staring blankly at the blessed land of Zi Qi Peak, a flash of sorrow crossing his eyes. He said in a leisurely voice:

"The true and purple paths have always been intertwined and mutually reinforcing. The true is manifest, and the purple is hidden. When the true is achieved, the purple follows. How can there be a reason for the purple qi to appear in the world before the true qi?"

The true and purple paths have been entangled for a long time, and some great figures have emerged from them in ancient times.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a Taoist named Zhuang who cultivated on Xuanzhen Mountain. He mastered the true and purple paths to a very high level and eventually ascended to immortality.

Jiang Heqian quickly recalled the events in his mind, and said thoughtfully:

"Senior Zimu, your cultivation is profound. I, Yuyan, am deeply grateful for your guidance."

Zi Mu nodded slightly, turned around, stared at Jiang Heqian, and asked:

"Does Yu Yan know the connection between Jade Truth and True Qi?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the purple qi divine power flickered, a ball of light flame intertwined with blue and green appeared in the void.

The surrounding void, the spiritual energy, suddenly became like being trapped in a quagmire, flowing very slowly.

The magical light stirred and fled far away from the place.

Jiang Heqian stared at the azure flames, his face filled with shock, and looked up to ask:

"Senior, what is this?"

Zi Mu's hand flashed with colorful light as she put away the blue and green flames, and she introduced in a calm tone:

"This thing is called Wuzhang Water and Fire. It is one of the six phases of True Qi Water and Fire, a supreme treasure of the True Qi path. It is extremely fierce and can isolate the Great Void."

"Having experienced it all, what are your thoughts now regarding Yu Zhen and Zhen Qi?"

Jiang Heqian's expression turned serious. After a moment's thought, he said in a low voice:

"In my humble opinion, Yuzhen and Zhenqi are connected by the word 'zhen' (true), both referring to upholding righteousness and cultivating truth in order to attain the profound and true Dao. My cultivation is shallow, and I only know that Yuzhen has a supernatural power called 'Dao Hezhen,' which is to practice the Dao and attain the meaning of immortality and mystery."

"As for true qi, this junior truly does not know, and I humbly request Senior Zimu to teach me."

Upon hearing this, Zi Mu was slightly surprised, but she smiled broadly as she stared at Jiang Heqian and nodded, saying:

"Master Yu Yan is too modest. In my opinion, Master Yu Yan's cultivation in the path of Yu Zhen is far superior to that Master Zhu Sheng in the Southern Border."

"As for the True Qi Dao, since the Heavenly Martial True Lord attained the [Heavenly Martial True Qi Divine Fiend Nature], the True Qi Dao is to righteously restrain lust, possess boundless benevolence and might, slay demons and monsters, and uphold martial prowess to preserve truth."

"This intention of preserving truth is the true meaning of Qi, which coincides with the true meaning of seeking the Dao of Yuzhen. Both of them point directly to the true nature of immortality and greatly benefit the Dao of immortality."

After hearing this, Jiang Heqian understood immediately and quickly thanked him.

"Thank you very much, Senior Zimu. I am deeply grateful."

Zi Mu waved his hand dismissively, staring at the purple aura spreading outwards from the blessed land, and fell silent.

Standing to the side, Tinglan looked uneasy, clearly worried about Master Zipei.

Master Zi Pei's attempt to attain the Purple Qi Fruit was destined to fail; Jiang Heqian had known the outcome all along.

At this moment, he was pondering Zi Mu's words, thinking to himself:

"True Qi, Jade True, and the True Dragon in the Azure Prophecy all contain the character 'True.' Whether the 'True' in these three things has anything in common is hard to say."

"Does the 'truth' of Jade Truth, the 'truth' of True Qi, and the 'truth' of True Dragon all point to the supreme Dao Truth? Daoist lineages bearing the character 'truth' likely all have impressive origins."

This was just Jiang Heqian's conjecture. His mind raced with thoughts as he stared intently at Ziqi Peak.

After an unknown period of time, the purple qi that had permeated most of the Yue Kingdom began to converge on the blessed land of Purple Qi Peak like a torrent.

Zi Pei, possessing extraordinary powers and an aura that soared to the heavens, slowly rose into the void from the summit of Zi Qi Peak.

A relieved smile appeared on her face. She put two fingers together in front of her mouth and exhaled a breath of colorful purple energy.

"It has begun," someone in the void said.

This wisp of multicolored purple energy twisted and deformed in the void, slowly transforming into a pill the size of an egg.

In an instant, the sound of chanting filled the heavens and earth. Deer and birds all felt it and looked up at the sky. The fallen incense ash in the world returned to its original state one by one. Leaves fell all over the mountain range and turned into books of scriptures as they landed.

The scale and momentum were immense.

The rogue cultivators from the Purple Mansion who had come to observe the ceremony had drastically changed their expressions. Someone asked in a low voice:

"This...this is going to work out?"

Kan Xuyu sat cross-legged in the void, a tear sliding down her cheek, and sighed softly.

A great master of the Five Elements, Zi Qi, perished and transformed into a sky full of purple qi, enveloping most of the Yue Kingdom.

Zi Mu closed her eyes tightly, her face filled with sorrow.

At this moment, Tinglan Zhenren, standing behind him, was in tears, murmuring, "Master."

Jiang Heqian looked distressed, sighed softly, and didn't know how to start speaking.

Master Zimu opened his eyes and said in a low voice:

"Tinglan, you and Yuyan go back to the blessed land to talk."

After saying this, he used his supernatural powers to leave.

Jiang Heqian and Tinglan exchanged a glance, and with a flash of magical light, they descended towards the Purple Smoke Blessed Land.
