Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 265 Ling Changqing: Slipped Away
Xia Qingying's evaluation was not exaggerated. In Ling Changqing's opinion, it might be an understatement.

The Great Xia Divine Dynasty dominates Yuzhou and almost monopolizes the best spiritual veins and blessed lands in the entire state. The most vast territory and the most valuable resources belong to the Divine Dynasty, and this situation has lasted for nearly ten thousand years.

If the territory is vast enough and the resources are rich enough, naturally enough high-level monks will be born.

Yaozhou has never been unified, and has maintained a three-way balance of power from ten thousand years ago to the present.

Shenluo Palace, Taiqing Dynasty and Beichen Family jointly hold the power of Yaozhou. Among them, Shenluo Palace is the most powerful, followed by Beichen Family, and Taiqing Dynasty can only be ranked third.

Therefore, in terms of overall strength, the fragmented Yuzhou cultivation world is no match for the three major forces in Yaozhou. But Yaozhou is also unlikely to be a match for the Great Xia Dynasty.

If Yaozhou and Yuzhou really confront each other in the future, unless these three forces can form a strategic alliance, they will not be able to defeat the Great Xia Dynasty.

Under normal circumstances, the most powerful forces in Yuzhou's immortal cultivation world, such as the Yu family, the Yu family, the Luhua Palace, the Liuying family, etc., are simply no match for a behemoth like the Great Xia Divine Dynasty.

"...If that's the case, it shouldn't be a problem for the Great Xia Dynasty to annex Yaozhou and Yuzhou in the future?"

After a moment of silence, Ling Changqing spoke in a low voice.

Xia Qingying shook her head gracefully: "If you only look at the strength comparison on paper, it is like this, but the reality is not that simple.

Let alone Yaozhou, even the forces in Yuzhou's cultivation world, who doesn't have a few secret allies? They are all likely to take action at the critical moment.

Besides, the forces in the surrounding states will not sit idly by and watch our Great Xia Dynasty expand wantonly."

This is the alliance and coalition in the world of immortal cultivation. While all forces are quietly developing themselves, they will also do their best to trip up and hold back other forces, and will never allow them to rise and grow easily.

Otherwise, given the current state of the immortal cultivation world in Yuzhou, forces from other major states would have come to stake their claim long ago.

Now the Taiqing Divine Dynasty can no longer hold back and is secretly using the Cui Family and the Mu Family as pawns to attack the Shengyu Immortal Dynasty. The top leaders of other major forces are well aware of this.

Even if the Taiqing Divine Dynasty could defeat the Shengyu Immortal Dynasty and tear off a large piece of meat from this force, whether it could get its share would probably depend on the mood of the surrounding forces.

"oh, I understand now."

Ling Changqing nodded and had a new understanding of this war. At present, it is just the appetizer stage and the big scene is yet to come.

If things go wrong, in the end, the forces of the surrounding states will be dragged in, triggering a full-scale war that sweeps across the entire Qingyao Continent.

At this moment, looking down from the sky, the sky and the earth were already shrouded in darkness. Only the light curtain of the city defense formation was still shining, like a bright moon embedded in the dark earth.

Countless monks surrounded the clear moon, formed a formation, and controlled various magical weapons and instruments to attack like crazy.

The underground of Jinchen County is the intersection of many large fourth-level spiritual veins. The spiritual energy is extremely abundant. The energy absorbed and stored by the city defense formation on a daily basis is terrifying. Therefore, in the face of such a high-intensity offensive, it can still remain as solid as a rock.

From the perspective of the attacking party, if they do not have enough valuable treasures to break the formation as soon as possible, they can only rely on slow and steady efforts and gradually exhaust the reserve energy of the formation before they can capture this huge city with a very important strategic position.

Ling Changqing's mind moved slightly, and the Blood Shadow Sword turned into a thousand-foot-long sword light that rolled lightly and flew out of the light curtain of the formation, breaking the defense of a Jindan cultivator and cutting his entire body into two pieces.

The guy's magic power had been used up by more than half, and when he was about to step back to rest, Ling Changqing seized the opportunity and killed him with one blow. He lost his life in extreme frustration.

Several Cui family cultivators nearby were furious. They pointed at Ling Changqing from afar and shouted at him, and attacked him with all kinds of magic weapons, but their efforts were basically in vain because of the obstruction of the light curtain of the large formation.

"It seems like you two have a pretty good relationship? Then shall we send you both down together?"

Ling Changqing's expression remained unchanged. The Blood Shadow Sword turned into a large stream of light, flying back and forth and slashing endlessly, destroying the protective light of these Jindan Zhenren one by one and ripping them apart.

Before long, dozens of Jindan cultivators died under Ling Changqing's sword.

"Not bad, it seems that your martial arts inheritance is not bad, the purity and concentration of your magic power is not on the same level as theirs.

Even the elites that our Great Xia Dynasty has focused on training can only perform so well at the Jindan stage. This shows that your identity before reincarnation was quite extraordinary?"

Xia Qingying stood with her hands behind her back, watching Ling Changqing's performance with a smile on her face. The towering snow-capped peak in front of her stood proudly, its shape round and perfect, outlining an abyss-less ravine in the center.

If we have to compare, perhaps only Qin Mengxuan's broad-mindedness can be compared with hers?
And her undulating peach and long legs, full and exaggerated, revealing a strange domineering aura. Perhaps only Luo Qingxuan and Bai Qingyi, two dragon girls, can compete with her in figure. Of course, Shangguan Qingying is not inferior...

Ling Changqing subconsciously took a few more glances, then focused his mind and continued to kill the enemies, killing the Jindan cultivators on the opposite side one by one.

The stunning young girl in white who was always by Xia Qingying's side frowned. Ling Changqing's little move naturally could not be hidden from her.

But before she could open her mouth to scold, Xia Qingying stopped her with a look, and she could only remain silent angrily.

If it were someone else who dared to peek at Her Majesty the Queen with such a look, he would have been caught and beaten by the guards long ago, no matter how noble his status and position were.

Inside and outside the formation, a fierce battle was continuing. Third- and fourth-order forbidden-breaking talismans were constantly smashed down, and there were countless magical powers and spells. Under the torrential attack, the distortion and fluctuations on the surface of the formation's light curtain became more and more obvious.

However, given the thickness and toughness of the city defense formation, it would be a long time before it could collapse.

Moreover, in the hub of the large formation located in the City Lord's Mansion, many elders are working hard to coordinate the operation of the formation and draw energy for timely replenishment to ensure that the light curtain of the large formation is always stable.

Both sides have strong men at the level of God Transformation sitting in the back, but currently they are in a state of sitting still, just silently watching the progress of the battle.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

As the attacking party, the Cui family's corps of monks suffered losses so great that even the elders felt the pain.

Of course, there were also many casualties among the cultivators of the Taiqing Divine Dynasty. Outside the light curtain of the formation, the bodies of the cultivators who died in the battle had piled up like a mountain, and blood was flowing like a river.

However, since the big shots above have not given any orders, the offensive must continue one after another without any slackness, no matter how exaggerated the losses are.

During this period, Xia Qingying took action more than once, chopped off the heads of some Nascent Soul True Lords who were hiding deeply, destroyed their souls, and looted all their personal belongings.

No one knew what special means she had that allowed her to move in and out of the light curtain of the formation at will without attracting the attention of the cultivators from both sides.

"Keep it, it's all yours!"

Along with Xia Qingying's clear and soft voice, another pile of storage magic tools were thrown over.

"Thank you sister."

Ling Changqing was not polite and accepted everyone who came.

"...Your Majesty, what merits and abilities does this boy have that you need to treat him differently?"

The girl in white finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked quietly with her mind.

She had been enduring Ling Changqing for a long time. Not only was he very casual in his words, he had no respect at all. He also stared at the Queen's figure, which was simply...

You are just a Jindan cultivator, I give you face, right? How dare you be rude to our Queen?

Xia Qingying smiled and said, "There's no reason for that, I just think he's more pleasing to the eye!"

"Pleasant to the eye?"

The girl in white was obviously thoughtful. After a moment of shock, she realized:
"Your Majesty, you wouldn't be interested in someone for no reason. He is an exception. Is it because he has a particularly strong luck? So it has invisibly influenced your impression?"

In the Divine Dynasty, many trusted ministers and brilliant young talents have never received such treatment. This little guy who I met for the first time can be an exception. What does this mean?
"Ok?"

Xia Qingying was slightly stunned, but with her extraordinary intelligence, she naturally came to her senses. As the ruler of the pinnacle of power in the Divine Dynasty, what good things has she not seen in her life? In such a huge Divine Dynasty, there is naturally no shortage of all kinds of favored people.

Among them, there are naturally people who admire Her Majesty the Queen and want to rise to the top overnight, but it's a pity that Xia Qingying is always rude to them and looks down on any of them.

After meeting Ling Changqing this time, the influence of fate caused Xia Qingying's attitude to undergo an unprecedented subtle change, which she herself did not even realize.

Thinking of this, the smile in Xia Qingying's eyes disappeared, and her expression became more solemn. She stared at Ling Changqing from head to toe.

As expected, she didn't notice anything unusual, but she just had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

But even so, it was enough to show how extraordinary this little guy was. If it were someone else, how could she have such a foggy feeling?

"Forget it. After this war is over, we will take him back and let the royal elders take a closer look. If he really has great luck and fortune, we can put some effort into cultivating him."

Xia Qingying pondered silently, and her mood became better and better.

I didn't expect that I would gain so much from this trip. Who knows, maybe in the future, the fortunes of the Great Xia Dynasty will rise and reach even higher?
What level of existence must this person have to have to have such a strong luck that it could affect the mind of the Goddess Queen? The proud sons of heaven and the reincarnated great powers that the Divine Dynasty had discovered in the past were far inferior to him.

In the blink of an eye, Ling Changqing's importance in her heart increased significantly. In the future, she could not only train him as a trusted and important minister, but she could also...

But at this time Ling Changqing no longer looked at her. He controlled the flying sword and killed the enemies with peace of mind. As the enemies died one after another, the number on the jade plate recording the military achievements had exceeded two thousand.

"According to the resource exchange standards given by the City Lord's Mansion, as long as we can hold on until the end of the war, we can exchange for a lot of good things!"

Ling Changqing thought to himself and put the jade token away again.

Xia Qingying's eyes flickered, and her voice became softer and gentler:

"These things are nothing to look at. My Great Xia Dynasty has countless natural treasures. You will know them in the future! By the way, I don't even know your name, little brother?"

"Ling Changxing."

He responded, but of course he couldn't tell his real name, otherwise the scene in Danyang Valley would be repeated again.

In terms of danger level, the Goddess Queen of the Great Xia Divine Dynasty is more terrifying than Qin Mengxuan and Liuying Ziying combined. Once you are entangled by her, the consequences are unpredictable.

"Ling Changxing?"

Xia Qingying frowned slightly and said unhappily, "Young man, you are not telling the truth, are you? I can feel it!"

“How come you see?”

Ling Changqing asked in confusion.

"No reason, just intuition."

Xia Qingying put her jade hands on his shoulders and turned him over. She stared at him with her beautiful eyes as bright as stars and said seriously:
"I'll give you one more chance. Tell me the truth, or I'll be angry!"

The girl in white clothes next to him rarely interrupted: "Young man, not telling the truth is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Her Majesty the Queen has been very tolerant of you!"

At this moment, the area within a radius of ten feet around them had been blocked by some mysterious force, and no one noticed the actions of Ling Changqing and Xia Qingying.

"Okay, my name is Ling Changqing. Are you satisfied now, sister?"

Ling Changqing looked back at her calmly.

This goddess queen really should not be underestimated. She actually has a way to detect whether I am telling the truth or not? I don't know what method she used.

"Yeah, good, I didn't lie this time!"

Xia Qingying nodded with satisfaction.

But the next moment, she reacted, and an indescribable shock appeared in her beautiful eyes:

"What did you say just now? Your name is Ling Changqing?"

"Well, what else?"

Ling Changqing nodded very honestly and looked at her innocently.

I have to admit that Her Majesty's figure is quite sexy and extremely charming.

It's like this when I'm wearing clothes, I can't imagine how shocking it would be if I took them off...

Neither the girl in white nor Xia Qingying cared how rude his gaze was at this moment. They both thought of the legendary person.

Combined with all the previous doubts, Xia Qingying felt that her judgment was almost certain. This was the son of destiny that she had missed last time in Danyang Valley.

"So, you are the son of destiny?"

Xia Qingying hugged him tightly and asked him with her mind, with a rare ecstasy in her beautiful eyes.

"Yes."

Ling Changqing responded as usual.

"Then, come back with me to the Great Xia Dynasty? I will definitely treat you well!"

Xia Qingying said this excitedly, almost hugging him in her arms.

Ling Changqing smiled and said, "I don't have any objections, but after the news leaked, the Great Xia Dynasty is at the center of the storm. Sister, can you withstand the pressure from all sides?"

Xia Qingying was stunned for a moment, and her expression became fierce: "What does it matter? Sister said she would protect you, and she will definitely not break her promise."

She thought that if she adopted the most stringent confidentiality measures, it should be possible to ensure that Ling Changqing's secret would not be leaked for a certain period of time, at least within a hundred years.

A hundred years later, Ling Changqing should have grown up and gained enough benefits. He should not be afraid of the huge pressure from the outside world.

"That's fine, I'm still willing to believe you, but you have to marry me, sister!"

"No fooling around."

Xia Qingying's face flushed and she pushed him away subconsciously. She had never been offended by a man like this before, so she was a little at a loss.

According to intelligence information collected by the Great Xia Divine Dynasty in the past, the Son of Luck is lustful and has unclear relationships with female cultivators from multiple forces.

Xia Qingying didn't quite believe it at first, but now it seems that it must be true?
"Oh, so you don't want to, sister?"

Ling Changqing sighed in pretended disappointment.

Xia Qingying's face turned red. After thinking for a while, she whispered, "It's not impossible to consider it, but you have to wait until you get back. You..."

Before she finished her words, the figure of the handsome young man in black had disappeared from the spot.

However, Ling Changqing took advantage of the rare opportunity when she let go and ran away.
