Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

Jiang Zhi lowered her head, looking at the sword mark that had appeared on the flawless back of her hand.

Although she defeated Lou Guanxue, the opponent's sword energy also invaded her body.

This wasn't a serious injury, nor was it fatal, but it did leave a scar on her body temporarily. It will probably take some time for her to recover and regain her original flawless appearance.

Hearing Lou Guanxue's question with a puzzled look, Jiang Zhi snorted: "When I was the emperor who dominated the world, the Yuanshi Daluo Sect had already perished hundreds of thousands of years ago."

"Although the old Taoist Xuanwei rebuilt the Yuanshi Daluo Sect in the Southern Ming Realm, he did not dare to call it 'Yuanshi Daluo,' but simply called it Daluo Sect."

"I, the Emperor, happened to be there at that time and obtained this method by chance. What does it have to do with the Primordial Great Luo Sect?"

"In the hundreds of thousands of years since the beginning of the Primordial Great Luo Heaven, there have been quite a few cultivators who have mastered the Nine Contemplations of the Primordial Beginning. Does that mean everyone has to become a disciple of the Primordial Great Luo Heaven?"

Lou Guanxue's pretty face turned cold upon hearing this. Gripping her sword hilt, her delicate features flushed with anger, she said, "How dare you look down on my master?"

"Without your master's teachings, how could you possess your current strength and status!"

In her heart, her master was the highest heaven, and she would not allow anyone to say a bad word about him.

In those days, countless brilliant and talented individuals longed to become disciples of the same master, but ultimately could not, which became a lifelong regret.

You are nothing more than a female emperor of a celestial dynasty in later generations. You learned from your master's teachings and cultivated his methods to dominate the world. What's so great about that?

Jiang Zhi knew she had said the wrong thing and had spoken without thinking.

Now that the Primordial Great Luo Heaven is right in front of me, it would be bad if my words angered it.

She was able to defeat Lou Guanxue when her mental state was impaired, and even if the old Taoist Xuanwei made a move, she was confident that she could defeat him at the cost of injury.

However, she had no confidence whatsoever when facing the mysterious and unpredictable Primordial Great Luo Heaven.

Jiang Zhi glanced at him and saw that the "Heavenly One" was simply standing quietly atop the Immortal Palace, seemingly unconcerned about their argument. She breathed a sigh of relief.

He truly deserves to be called the "Eastern Emperor Taiyi" by later generations; such magnanimity is indeed rare.

Those who practice the method of cultivating the Way of the Sword are just as stubborn as those who practice the Way of the Sword.

But that stubborn man was only reckless in battle, disregarding the consequences.

Instead of relentlessly mocking everyone you meet in daily life, whether they are seniors or insignificant,

That's not just being stubborn, that's utterly foolish.

Emperors also understand the art of compromise and know how to assess the situation.

Jiang Zhi softened her tone and lowered her voice a few decibels: "Of course, I owe my current achievements to the supreme technique created by you, senior."

"I have only respect for my seniors and have no reason to overstep my bounds. However, I rely on my own understanding to cultivate and do not wish to acknowledge a master, nor do I consider myself a disciple of the Yuanshi Daluo Sect."

Although Jiang Zhi is currently only at the Outer Realm, she was once a Saint of the Taiqing Realm.

She also had the blessing of the fortunes and destiny of the Xia Kingdom, which gave her a mysterious feeling that she would definitely regret it in the future if she admitted that she was a disciple of the Primordial Great Luo Heaven.

Practitioners place the most trust in their intuitions, as these are matters of their entire spiritual practice.

Therefore, Jiang Zhi categorically denied that she and Yuanshi Daluotian were master and disciple.

The training method was found for her by the young monk.

Jiang Zhi discovered that by chance after she had cultivated to the Cave Profound Realm.

Hidden within the jade slip containing the cultivation method recorded by the King of Qi was a visualization diagram, one of the "Nine Contemplations of the Primordial Beginning".

The martial arts technique that the young monk obtained from the King of Qi was quite extraordinary, but the King of Qi was incompetent and failed to discover its secrets.

Jiang Zhi thus obtained the supreme and wondrous method of "I see all the heavenly emperors coming to pay homage".

It was with this great technique that she was able to forge the "Supreme Dao Weapon" before her greatest enemy, the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, and thus kill him.

There are many methods in the world that can lead to the Taiqing Realm, but no cultivation method can guarantee that one can definitely refine the "Supreme Dao Weapon" in the Taiqing Realm.

Possessing the "Supreme Dao Weapon" is the key to a Taiqing Realm expert dominating the world.

Only by cultivating the "Nine Contemplations of the Primordial Beginning" can one successfully reach the Taiqing Realm and forge the "Supreme Dao Weapon," which can be considered the number one method in all the heavens and myriad realms!

Therefore,

Throughout the millions of years of the Immortal Dao Era, the emergence of any one of the Nine Temples of Primordial Beginning would inevitably bring bloodshed and countless cultivators to fight and kill each other.

After discovering that the method of cultivation she was practicing was the "Nine Contemplations of the Primordial Beginning," Jiang Zhi never dared to tell anyone.

Similarly, when the Taoist Xuanwei rebuilt the "Yuanshi Daluo Sect," he only secretly passed it down, not daring to tell the world that he cultivated the "Yuanshi Nine Contemplations," lest it bring misfortune to his descendants.

Jiang Zhi never expected that Lou Guanxue would discover the secret of her cultivation after just one exchange with her.

Perhaps, apart from Yuanshi Daluotian himself, only Lou Guanxue is most familiar with the "Nine Views of Yuanshi".

She is the only person who has contemplated the complete "Nine Contemplations of the Primordial Beginning".

Jiang Zhi's thoughts seemed to drift back to the distant past.

If it weren't for the young monk, he would have become a medicinal ingredient for the State of Qi long ago, or committed suicide halfway through his journey.

If it weren't for the young monk who cut open the Buddha's heart and broke the Buddha's bones to protect her, she would have been surrounded and killed by those dozens of demons when she was young.

If the young monk hadn't given her the "Nine Views of the Primordial Beginning," she wouldn't have become the peerless empress, dominating her era and invincible.

In Jiang Zhi's heart, everything she had was given to her by the little monk; she was the one who stole the little monk's glorious life.

If it weren't for her, with the young monk's talent and ability, he would have already become a Buddha and a regional deity.

She owes the young monk far too much, and she will spend her whole life accompanying him and repaying him.

Thinking of the little monk, Jiang Zhi felt at peace. She suddenly felt that everything here was meaningless, and all she wanted to do was go see her little monk as soon as possible.

Jiang Zhi's thoughts were scattered and wandering.

Qin Zijun then slowly spoke, "We are destined to be together, but since you are unwilling to be my disciple, then let it be."

Qin Zijun thought to herself, "Miss Jiang is quite intelligent."

If she truly accepts this master-disciple relationship, then the karmic entanglement between the two parties will come to an end.

I have given her a lot, but if I consider this giving as a gift from my master, then it is a legacy.

Qin Zijun recalled her countless lifetimes.

The reincarnation of the Book of Immortals is not in chronological order, but rather randomly inserted into a certain node in the river of time.

In his previous life as the "Master Mingxiang," he killed the ruler of Qi and obtained the cultivation method of the dynasty from him.

The method of cultivation that the ruler of Qi obtained was found in a large tomb somewhere.

At that time, Qin Zijun did not understand the cause and effect of that life.

It wasn't until he was reborn and became the emperor of a celestial dynasty, creating the "I Observe One Law," and was buried deep in his tomb after his death, that he understood everything.

The tomb that the King of Qi broke into was the tomb of the emperor Qin Zijun in his previous life as the emperor of the Immortal Dynasty.

However, Qin Zijun was still a monk at the time and had not yet experienced the life of the Immortal Emperor, so he did not know that it was the tomb of his future self.

Later, through repeated reincarnations, Qin Zijun perfected "I Observe All Laws," which filled him with pride, making him feel that he didn't need the immortal book of ten thousand lifetimes, and that he could become an immortal on his own.

That's how the era of "Yuanshi Daluotian" came about.

He took several methods from "I Observe All Laws" and simplified them into "The Nine Observations of the Primordial Beginning," which he then taught to the world, thus ushering in the ancient era of immortals.

He failed to become an immortal in that lifetime, but he saw the path ahead.

This also proves how terrifying the "Book of Immortals for All Ages" is!

This "Immortal Book of Ten Thousand Generations" truly possesses the power to reverse cause and effect, defy time and space, and transform death into life.

Qin Zijun clearly has many lifetimes that he has not yet experienced, but the river of time has already recorded his reincarnations.

It can manipulate and play with the long river of time at will, and cause and effect are nothing but laughable toys in front of it.

Such unfathomable supernatural powers are exactly what Qin Zijun aspires to become—the 'immortal'!

The Celestial Emperor, the Primordial Great Luo Heaven, the Little Monk Mingxiang, and Jiang Zhi—this is the complete causal timeline of Qin Zijun and Miss Jiang, the source of their destiny.

Qin Zijun mentally reconstructed the cause and effect and timeline of her countless lifetimes.

He has experienced many other complex causes and effects like those of Miss Jiang.

Now, all these causes and effects have finally come together and point to the 'Qin Zijun' who is living in the modern world!

"This may be my final tribulation before I become an immortal; I must settle all these karmic debts."

Starting from the Inner Alchemy Realm, every advancement in realm is accompanied by inner demon tribulations.

How could one possibly avoid tribulations when taking the final step towards immortality?

The Book of Immortals of All Ages won't help him erase all his calamities.

Throughout Qin Zijun's countless lifetimes of cultivation, each advancement required him to undergo a heavenly tribulation, no different from anyone else.

The biggest cause and effect I'm facing now is two things: Miss Jiang and my apprentice, Lou Guanxue.

Therefore, we need to deal with those two first.

Composing herself, Qin Zijun sighed softly, "Guanxue, you have disappointed me greatly."

Lou Guanxue panicked and immediately bowed, saying, "Please punish me, Master!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

Lou Guanxue felt even more nervous, her palms throbbed with pain, and her bottom involuntarily twitched.

When her master punished her, he either hit her hands or...hit her bottom.

Thinking of the scene when her master spanked her, Lou Guanxue quickly lowered her head, her jade-like face flushed red, delicate and beautiful beyond compare.
