Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Gu Qing's understanding of the fifth-grade realm did not come from Baiyue Mountain.

Rather, it was his understanding of the "Nine-Nine Mysterious Technique" and his personal experience that inspired his writing. This main cultivation method is a superior technique at the fifth-rank extreme level.

The enlightenment he gained from the Three Classics of Baiyue Mountain greatly helped him.

Most importantly, however, was the enlightenment he gained from repeatedly burning his lifespan to deduce various cultivation techniques and secret arts.

He cultivated many supernatural powers and secret techniques, including some of the most powerful and unparalleled techniques in Cangwu.

Good comprehension is only the foundation for quickly achieving perfection.

The most important things are the abundant application of Enlightenment Tea and the overwhelming, all-knowing feeling experienced when burning Heavenly Longevity Elixir.

Over time, this enhanced his understanding and broadened his horizons.

He is confident that his understanding of the Tao is second to none.

The insights he gave to the pearl divers all came from his own experience. He had the power to decide where to go. He paused after saying the beginning, and Gu Qing made a pointed remark.

"The coastal area is too small and there is too much noise."

"What does the leader think?"

The pearl diver understood Gu Qing's meaning after only a moment of silence, and almost without hesitation, she stood up and bowed.

"Palace Master."

"Alright! We hit it off, so I'll have a good talk with you today."

"A thousand great paths, ten thousand magical arts."

"Longevity is not the ultimate goal, but a gift that comes with attaining enlightenment."

To see through the true nature of the world, to break free from the shackles of life, to transcend heaven and earth, and to do as one pleases—this is the essence of seeking the Tao.

"Do not be attached to material things, do not be confused by your mind, do not be trapped by emotions, do not dwell on the past, and do not fear the future."

"You're too attached to appearances—"

"Listen..."

Seven days and seven nights later.

The pearl diver, looking thoughtful yet somewhat bewildered, hurriedly left to go into seclusion and verify her findings.

As for the Pearl-Picking Sect, it will naturally become a second-party member of the Green Palace, greatly strengthening the foundation and backbone of the Green Palace.

If things go smoothly for the Bailong Sect, the Haijian Sect will be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Unification of the near seas is the foundation of the willpower system.

It is also a resource for Gu Qing's future cultivation. Planning ahead and gradually consuming it is the best strategy.

However, there's still no news from Mo Xuan's side.

It's good that there's no news.

Only when there's no news can one fly into a rage —

Gu Qing's private palace.

A woman with a graceful figure, wearing a red silk dress, with her black hair cascading down her shoulders, exuded a tall and elegant air even while sitting on the bed.

She has a slender waist, a fleshy figure, and a shapely, firm curve. She has full breasts and rounded buttocks, and her graceful figure exudes sexiness.

"Yu Yan~"

It was Gu Qing's old flame who, upon hearing the saccharine shouts, couldn't help but roll his eyes at Gu Qing.

"All you ever do is dig, dig, dig. Are you an old farmer and I'm the land?"

"That's not how it works. How can you compare me to an old farmer?"

"Then what do you want to be?"

"Old Ox—"

"Bad seed."

As he pulled the beauty into his arms, Gu Qing chuckled softly.

"Are you getting used to life in the palace?"

"As long as someone doesn't suddenly come and go, it's just a matter of getting used to it."

"Cultivation is paramount; where does resentment come from?"

Just as Yun Yuyan was about to say something, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Qing grabbed her slender, rounded ankle and caressed it tenderly as she blushed with embarrassment. Yun Yuyan closed her beautiful eyes, her snow-white, delicate feet arching, a faint fragrance of snow plum blossoms wafting in the air.

As soon as Jinfeng Yulu met, they won but countless on earth.

The next day.

In his spare time, Gu Qing also tries to spend some time with Yun Yuyan, which is both a way to cultivate his mind and to enjoy life.

Once the Seven Treasures Gourd entered the refining process, they were all thrown into the Holy Ancestor's Fire Pool. The enhancement this thing provided to the refining process was far better than he had anticipated.

Sometimes he would even take Yun Yuyan into the Jinyun Secret Realm.

They cultivated together in the fire pool. After all, he also possessed the inheritance of Zhu Rong. By spending more time in the fire pool, his comprehension of the laws of fire would reach perfection more quickly.

Over this period of time, the progress of replicating the thunder patterns on the Golden Core Dao Fruit has been ridiculously slow. Once the Chaos Gourd is completed, the progress will accelerate rapidly.

The Golden Core is the source of the laws and the root of his magical power.

To truly dominate and control the replicated Thunder Law, much more effort is needed. Humanity's ability to utilize external resources often leads to its ultimate development.

External objects can be transformed into power that one can control.

The process of first creating the false and then transforming it into the true is also a path of cultivation.

About half a year later.

News came from the Old Dragon King of the Mountains and Seas that the trip to the Dragon Worship Sect had been temporarily halted.

Although they did not agree to merge into the Azure Palace, they could acknowledge the Azure Palace's status as the Lord of the Near Sea, and the dragon race and the support of the Western Sea Dragon Palace were important reasons.

They will not participate in the upcoming power reshuffle, but will remain bystanders, waiting for the dust to settle before bowing down and submitting, just as the Twelve Immortal Sects also have many first-class forces to which they rely.

This behavior, however, is like boiling a frog in lukewarm water; not taking sides completely is tantamount to not taking sides at all.

Ever since.

When the pearl diver emerged from seclusion and grasped the key to advancing to the fifth-rank Dao Lord, she couldn't wait to fulfill her promise. So, in her own name, she summoned the Sea Sword Sect and the Loose Immortal Alliance to a meeting.

at the same time.

Two of the three neighboring clans, the Gao and Ji clans, recently met.

The Gao and Ji families each have eight sixth-rank cultivators, but only one has reached the pinnacle of the sixth rank: the Ji family patriarch, who is nearing the age of death.

Compared to them, the Yun clan had far fewer top experts, and there had been internal strife before, so it was no wonder they were suppressed and bullied.

"I received news that the newly established Qing Palace sent people to the Bailong Sect. I don't know what they talked about, but the Bailong Sect has been closed off since that day."

"The Pearl-Diving Maiden summoned the Sea Sword Sect Master and the Ten Great Immortals of the Loose Immortal Alliance to sit and discuss the Dao at Huadao Mountain in the West Sea."

The Grand Elder of the Ji Clan spoke eloquently.

Gao Yuan, who was known as the Invisible Sword Immortal, couldn't help but say.

"Senior Ji, the four sects near the sea have never been allies, yet the Pearl Diving Girl has not contacted us. Could it be that the Gao family has missed some information?"

"No, I didn't miss anything."

"It's like a real dragon has appeared in shallow waters. All the small fish and shrimp living here will become food for that newly promoted Dao Lord."

Gao Yuan naturally remembered Gu Qing, who had competed with the Gao family for the secret realm on the deserted island. However, due to circumstances, after the establishment of the Qing Palace, the Gao family even sent generous gifts, hoping to shake hands and make peace.

What the Grand Elder of the Ji family said was like a bolt from the blue.

"What should we do..."

"No—the Azure Palace and the Western Sea Dragon Palace have a close relationship. The Cloud Dream Immortal Mountain will not sit idly by and watch its coastal lands be taken away by the Dragon Palace."

"That's true, but you've forgotten that Yunmeng Immortal Mountain once lent a treasure to help the Lord of Qing Palace overcome his tribulation. That favor is no small matter. The near sea is a buffer zone between humans and aquatic creatures."

"It's impossible to hand it over to the Dragon Palace commander, but if it were given to the human race, why would Yunmeng Immortal Mountain stop it?"

"But the Azure Palace has hundreds of true dragons serving it. If it's not someone from the West Sea Dragon Palace, then who could it be?"

"Even I, an old man, do not know; I cannot see clearly... I cannot see clearly..."

They could sense Qinggong's movements, but they couldn't know the origins of Laolong and the others. The Void Battlefield had always been a closely guarded secret of the Twelve Immortal Sects.

Even resistance requires understanding the intentions of the powerful.

How tragic. (End of Chapter)
