Lin Xiu, who was in his sleep, seemed to have dreamt of when he was still a baby and some of the scenes that happened. Beads of cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, then he wrapped the quilt tightly around his body, curled up, and carefully leaned against the side of the bed.
Just as Lin Xiu was making some plans to save his mother, the entire continent began to move in an orderly manner.
In order to deal with the Netherworld Palace's strong comeback, all the top forces basically emptied their pockets and did their best to prepare. One by one, the famous disciples began to come out of seclusion, trying to sharpen themselves in the mortal world to strengthen their Dao heart and lay the foundation for becoming a supreme expert.
One of the most famous places was the Qing Ming Mountain where the white-haired old man was.
Unlike the other top sects, the Qing Ming Mountain had very few disciples, but every disciple could be said to be a well-deserved genius.
… …
The green mountains were green and the sky was filled with the morning glow.
Zhang He and the other two gathered at dawn and returned to the Qing Ming Mountain together.
Along the way, he was quiet and sullen. Seeing him like this, Linghe covered her mouth and laughed. She was indescribably happy.
Zhang He came to a sudden realization. It looked like this Third Senior Brother of his had most likely been hit by the Spiritual Crane's words. He had really lost completely.
Linghe could not help but tease him, "How is it? I was right, I told you long ago that you would lose money this time, but you didn't believe me. Sigh, you didn't listen to your senior sister's words and you are going to lose money. "With that said, she deliberately let out a long sigh.
Qing Song wanted to refute, but he could not find any words to defend himself. Thus, he lowered his head even more.
On the mountain path, Zhang He realized that his eldest senior brother, Xuan Zang, had been waiting there for a long time. From his angle, the sun was just right behind Xuan Zang and he looked like the Bodhisattvas in the murals in the temples.
The three of them went forward to greet him. When Qing Song walked to Xuan Zang, his eyes turned red and his voice was choked.
"Eldest senior brother, you have to stand up for me."
"Junior brother, aren't you afraid that your junior brother will laugh at you? Let's talk about it when we reach the temple." Xuanzang always had that smile on his face, but his words always had the effect of calming people's hearts.
Nodding his head vigorously, Qing Song's current expression was much better than when he had just set off to return.
In Qing Song's opinion, Eldest Senior Brother Xuan Zang had always been the one with the highest cultivation and the greatest ability among them. Although Sect Master Qing Ming was their master, he only gave them a clear direction of cultivation. Most of the things they didn't understand in the process of cultivation were still explained by Xuanzang. Even Sect Master Qing Ming himself had said that he had nothing left to teach Xuanzang.
Since Eldest Senior Brother Xuanzang was willing to help him, he believed that he would definitely be able to help him regain his dignity.
"Oh, that's right. Junior Brother, before you left the mountain, Master told you to immediately go to the top of the mountain to see him," Xuan Zang reminded Zhang He, who was standing at the side.
Nodding his head, Zhang He glanced at the dejected Qing Song with some sympathy. He immediately bid farewell to his three Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters and headed straight for the peak of the mountain.
.....
At the top of the mountain, Sect Master Qing Ming was sitting on the ground.
For some reason, even though their master was extremely good to them and rarely had a stern look on his face, other than Xuanzang, when Zhang He and the other two saw Sect Master Qing Ming, they could not help but feel a sense of respect for him. This kind of respect was unclear. Even though they had the intention of respecting their master, it was not completely true.
Zhang He respectfully bowed to the old man in front of him. When he saw the old man nod his head, he lowered his head and stood to the side.
"Xiao Fan, there is no need to be so reserved. Master should not be that scary, right?" Seeing his own disciple's reserved appearance, Sect Master Qing Ming also made a rare joke with his little disciple.
"Yes," Zhang He replied obediently.
"I know everything that happened at the bottom of the mountain," Sect Master Qing Ming said indifferently.
Zhang He's face was filled with disbelief. Even though Cang Yun City was located at the bottom of Mount Qing Yun, his own master actually knew everything from the top of the mountain? This kind of ability was too unimaginable.
Laughing out loud, Sect Master Qing Ming continued, "It is merely comprehending the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Any cultivator that is slightly presentable can do it, it is just a matter of distance."
Seeing that his little disciple was still at a loss, Sect Master Qing Ming decided to give this little fellow a good lesson.
"Buddhism is good at cultivating the body, Daoism is good at cultivating the spirit, and Confucianism is particular about being upright and peaceful, nurturing the righteous Qi in one's chest. However, in the end, even though the cultivation systems and methods of the three are different, in essence, they all use the Qi of Heaven and Earth to slowly nurture their own Qi. "
"Xiao Fan, regarding the classification of cultivators, you should be clear about it right?" Sect Master Qing Ming suddenly asked.
"This disciple only knows that cultivators below the Middle Three Realms are evaluated based on the number of armor pierced by Origin Energy. As for higher levels, I do not know." Zhang He replied.
"That's right. Before Origin Energy became the mainstream, because the cultivators did not have a unified classification of realms, it caused the cultivators of the various realms to not be able to clearly recognize their own strength. The Middle Three Realms using armor piercing to determine the realms still has its merits. "After Sect Master Qing Ming finished speaking, he looked at Zhang He meaningfully.
"However, there are no absolutes in this world! For example, Daoism focuses on health, while Confucianism focuses on righteous Qi. In terms of pure martial strength, they simply cannot compare to the Bodhisattvas and Arhats of the Buddhist Sects. Are they really weak? "
Sect Master Qing Ming was somewhat arrogant. In this world, if one were to talk about the understanding of the various cultivation methods in the world, he, who cultivated three sects at the same time, was truly unparalleled.
"Master, is this related to the Qi that you mentioned before?" After hearing so much, Zhang He could not hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked.
"That's right. Regardless of whether it is Buddhism, Daoism, or Confucianism, when one cultivates to a high level, they all rely on that Qi."
"Do you know why the martial artists of the Upper Three Realms are called Qi Gazing Sage?"
How could Zhang He understand this? He shook his head and obediently listened to Sect Master Qing Ming.
"When a martial artist of the secular world reaches the Upper Three Realms, they can more or less be considered to have attained a higher level and can barely comprehend the Qi of Heaven and Earth. In this boundless world, every blade of grass and every tree has its own Qi. An ordinary person's Qi is weak. They only rely on the heterogeneous Yuan Qi between the heavens and earth to maintain their own needs. In the end, most of this Yuan Qi will once again dissipate between the heavens and earth. For those who have a slightly stronger physique, the Yuan Qi that they absorb over a long period of time will slowly slow down their aging process. Therefore, they will generally live a slightly longer life. "
Speaking up to here, Sect Master Qing Ming could not help but sigh.
"As for Buddhism, it means that through some special methods, a portion of the Yuan Qi that they absorb will be intercepted and stored in the flesh. The Yuan Qi in the flesh will be transformed by the Yuan Qi day after day, and their strength will naturally increase. "
"The situation of Daoism and Confucianism is similar. Both of them open up their own Niwan Palace and store their Yuan Qi within. Most of the Yuan Qi is stored in the Niwan Palace and only an extremely small portion is used to transform the body. This also causes the cultivators of these two sects to be inferior to Buddhist cultivators before they reach the Qi Gazing Realm. "
"However, once they reach the Upper Three Realms, the situation will be different. In the Third Grade Universe Realm, because Daoism focuses on cultivating Qi, cultivators of this realm can already use the power of the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, Confucianism and Daoism have an advantage! "
"If they are able to accumulate enough Yuan Qi in the Universe Realm and develop their own sense of Qi, they will almost have the ability to control Qi. This is different from the initial use of Yuan Qi during the Qi Gazing Realm. Cultivators of the Manifestation Realm can basically cultivate some legendary magical powers. Although it is impossible for them to move mountains and fill up the seas like in the novels, they are omnipotent. However, taking the head of a general from a hundred thousand people is as easy as taking something out of their pocket. When a Manifestation Realm Grandmaster covers their body with the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, ordinary swords and knives will not be able to harm them in the slightest. Only those with astonishing arm strength or Manifestation Realm experts working together can harm them. "
At this moment, Zhang He's heart was already surging with emotions from Sect Master Qing Ming's words. He wished that he was a peerless expert of the Manifestation Realm who could travel the world and find it hard to find an opponent.
Seeing that his master had stopped and did not have any intention of continuing, Zhang He could not help but become anxious. "Master, Manifestation Realm Grandmasters are already so powerful. Then wouldn't the legendary Dao Comprehending Realm be able to call the wind and summon the rain, and break rivers with one hand?"
Seeing his little disciple like this, even though Sect Master Qing Ming had lived for countless years and his state of mind was as calm as a well, he was still happy.
"You little brat, I haven't even taught you the true method of cultivation and you are already impatient? Come, tell Master. After you finish learning, do you want to roam the Jianghu and hook up with a few girls with round butts? Or do you want to leave behind a so-called illustrious reputation? "Sect Master Qing Ming, who had always been serious, was also not serious and scolded with a smile.
Even though Zhang He's face turned red and he wanted to retort, he was unable to do so. This was because he had really fantasized about it before.
In the end, Sect Master Qing Ming did not tell Zhang He about the various abilities of the Dao Comprehending Realm. He only threw Zhang He a cultivation technique that he had personally written and indifferently said a sentence.
"The Dao Comprehending Realm is actually not that interesting. Being afraid of this and that all day long, how could it be as free and unfettered as me?"
Zhang He was confused and did not know what his master's words meant.
"Searching for the divine path in the spring and autumn, chasing after the heroes in the years, cultivating a free and unfettered body, wishing to live forever with the common people, live forever, live forever …"
Sect Master Qing Ming, who was originally laughing heartily, gradually lowered his voice and could not be heard anymore. Only the murmur of "live forever" lingered on the peak of the mountain for a long time …
… …
When the last cicada cry completely disappeared, the entire Qingyun Mountain was no longer verdant. The originally lush trees on the mountain now only had a few scattered leaves that were unwilling to fall. The autumn leaves on the ground had slowly accumulated into a very thick layer.
The mountain was covered with fallen leaves and the autumn wind was blowing.
At the peak of Qingyun Mountain.
Other than Qing Song who had already sneaked down the mountain, Sect Master Qing Ming's disciples were all gathered here.
Xuan Zang's face finally no longer had his usual cheerful expression. On the contrary, it was filled with seriousness.
As for Ling He, her face was filled with indifference. She, who was proficient in Metaphysics, clearly already knew what was going to happen.
Among the three of them, only Zhang He did not know anything. However, he was not anxious. He had just reached the peak of the Earthly Origin Realm.
With regards to the miraculous increase in Junior Brother's strength, the few of them were not too surprised. It was as if everything was to be expected. This caused Zhang He, who was originally secretly delighted, to feel depressed.
Not long after, Ling He gave Zhang He an unforgettable lesson.
Zhang He, who was filled with confidence, went to spar with Ling He one day. However, when the two of them used the same realm, with just one move, Zhang He was defeated. From the movement technique to the technique to the reaction speed, Ling He completely surpassed Zhang He.
From then on, Zhang He fell into a frenzy of cultivation. According to Sect Master Qing Ming, he only had the peak of the Earthly Origin Realm and an indestructible body. However, if they were to really fight, he would not even be a match for the most ordinary Earthly Origin Realm.
How could Zhang He not be agitated?
Looking at the few disciples under him, Sect Master Qing Ming shook his robe.
"Chaos is coming, peace will be hard to recover. Not only the Central Region, even the Eastern Profound Region, Western Desert, Southern Border, and Northern Sea are getting restless. "Sect Master Qing Ming sighed softly.
Following which, he opened his mouth and said, "Qing Song has already left the mountain. If I am not mistaken, he should have gone to the Eastern Profound Region. In that case, Ling He, I want you to make a trip to the Southern Border. As for Xuanzang, he will head to the Western Desert. "
Seeing the two of them nod their heads, only Zhang He, who was still looking at him with a face full of confusion, Sect Master Qing Ming said indifferently, "Little Fan, you have been under my tutelage for less than a year, but your luck is really great. With the help of the Buddhist Sarira, you are already close to touching the threshold of the Universe Realm."
"This time, the evil practices of the Netherworld Palace are making a comeback. The entire continent will be plunged into chaos. Therefore, it is best for you to leave the mountain as soon as possible and try to increase your strength in the shortest amount of time possible. Only then will you have the ability to protect yourselves." Sect Master Qing Ming let out a long sigh. Then, a sharp look appeared in his eyes.
Ever since the old ancestor of the sect used his incomparably powerful strength to suppress the Nine Underworlds, the Qing Ming Mountain and the Netherworld Palace were destined to be irreconcilable forces. Between the two of them, only one could survive.
Nodding his head heavily, Zhang He's eyes were a little red. After being on the mountain for such a long time, he had already treated his master and senior brothers and sisters as his most important family.
Seeing this, Xuanzang and Ling He stepped forward and patted Zhang He's back. Their eyes were filled with encouragement.
Tonight, after the autumn wind, the entire Qing Ming Mountain was devoid of any greenery. No one knew that the legendary residence of the deities, the Tranquil Temple, was already empty.
