The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 122: Breakthrough of the Holy Embryo, Wu Hou has a request

Boom!

Inside the thatched cottage, Xuanming's body felt like thunder, and his entire body was wrapped in a vortex of spiritual inspiration, forming a cocoon of light. His golden elixir expanded several times before the growth rate slowed down.

When the strange phenomenon disappeared and the cocoon of light broke open, he had already broken through, condensed the holy fetus, and entered the fourth stage of Qi training.

After more than a month of seclusion, Xuanming walked out of the hut, looked at the bright spring sunshine, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a charming curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

From then on, he was invincible under the training of the spirit. He swept away everything, looked down on all directions, and roared at the sky, without any exaggeration.

Even if they see the existence of a person at the threshold of practicing spirit, they can kill him instantly like cutting melons and vegetables, without spending a lot of time and effort like dealing with the Dream Queen or the Fire Rat King.

Xuanxu and others were attracted by the strange vision and gathered at Zangdao Peak to protect Xuanming. They were very excited at the same time because once Brother Xuanming broke through, Qiuzhen Temple would have a real person in the Saint Embryo Realm.

Looking across Fengyang County, such great cultivators are extremely rare, no more than two hands can count. Even Zixia Sect has only one. In addition, Senior Brother Xuanming entered the Tao with a superior foundation. From now on, the status of Qiuzhen Temple will increase dramatically, second only to Xuri Sect and Shuiyue Temple.

One day, it may be possible for us to be on par with the two sects with a thousand-year-old heritage, be promoted to the top Taoist sect, and become famous in the Great Xuan Divine Dynasty.

After Brother Xuanming came out of retreat, they immediately entered the Taoist Temple, saluted together and congratulated him in unison. Xuanming also returned the salute and thanked them for their protection. After a brief chat and asking some questions about cultivation, the Taoists left and Xuanming sat alone in the courtyard, slowly becoming familiar with the power of the Holy Embryo Realm.

After walking down the Cangdao Peak, Xuanxu looked back at the Daoyuan and said to Xuanyang and the others, "A single thread cannot make a line, and a single tree cannot make a forest. My fellow disciples, we must work harder. The pursuit of truth and visualization has been passed down for generations, and there have been real people in charge. We cannot just rely on Brother Xuanming."

Xuantong agreed, "Brother, what you said is very true. Brother Xuanming alone is not as strong as the Truth Seeking Temple. Only when everyone works together and everyone is united can we build a foundation for thousands of years or even forever."

Xuan Yang and Xuan Kong both nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Inside the courtyard, Xuanming smiled and nodded without feeling surprised. After all, he was the one who had been in charge of Qiuzhen Temple for many years, how could he not have this awareness?

Putting aside all distractions, he continued to familiarize himself with the power of the Holy Embryo Realm, striving to manipulate the power in a meticulous and meticulous manner and strive for perfection.

In late April, the grass and trees become more lush and dense.

The entire foot of Fuyun Mountain was crowded with people, including ordinary people who came on foot, wealthy families who arrived by car, some who came alone, and some who were accompanied by relatives and friends.

This is because the Qiuzhen Temple's annual disciple-recruiting ceremony is about to begin. The new Taoist sect must hold it three times in a row. After three times, they can set their own rules according to their needs, and hold it once every three years or once every five years.

It has been three years since Qiuzhen Temple was promoted to a major sect. This is the third and final time, so everyone must seize the opportunity.

Zangdao Peak, Daoyuan.

The white-haired Taoist priest sat cross-legged in front of the sacred pine tree. Xuanming glanced at the foot of the mountain and paid no attention to the disciple-recruiting ceremony. There were some mysterious considerations for this matter, so he didn't need to worry about everything. His destined disciple had not yet been born.

With this in mind, his spiritual sense followed the mysterious induction and landed in Fuyun County. In a two-courtyard house in the east city, a young man in a green gown was carefully supporting a young pregnant woman with fair skin.

The young man had a simple and honest face and looked calm and honest. He was none other than Li Daniu. The woman next to him was his wife. Relying on the one hundred taels of silver given by Xuanming, he worked steadily and started from small businesses such as setting up stalls. With honesty as the basis, he had saved up a fortune in just five years, and had assets worth thousands of taels. He married a beautiful wife, and they lived in love and harmony. Now his wife was pregnant, and the fetus in her belly was Xuanming's destined apprentice. This was the person with a deep connection with Xuanming.

Looking at the faint aura of fortune and luck on Li Daniu, Xuanming stroked his beard with satisfaction, saying, "A family that accumulates good will surely have blessings in the future. After becoming successful, Li Daniu never forgot to give back to the world and benefit the people. The accumulation of good virtues for four generations has led to the fate between the fetus in his belly and Xuanming."

It is still too early to tell who is destined to be his disciple, and it will take some time to train him. Xuanming withdrew his gaze and focused on his own practice.

Just when the Qiuzhen Temple's disciple-recruiting ceremony was in full swing, a carriage slowly drove into Fengyang County, and after a short rest, headed straight for Floating Cloud Mountain. Xuanming knew nothing about this, and simply took out his peach wood sword and killed the disciples who were lurking at the Qiuzhen Temple like chopping melons and vegetables, then focused on his own practice. It was not until the carriage was close to Floating Cloud Mountain that Xuanming noticed it.

At Zangdao Peak and Wendao Academy, Xuanming was still familiar with the power of the Holy Embryo Realm. It was not until the carriage slowly drove into the territory of Fuyun County, obviously heading towards Fuyun Mountain, that it attracted his attention and he glanced at the carriage.

The carriage was pulled by three wind-scaled horses, riding the wind. The carriage looked simple, but actually it contained a myriad of secrets. Xuanming felt something was different, but he did not make a fuss about it. Instead, he pretended not to know and focused on his own practice. It was not until the carriage stopped at the foot of Fuyun Mountain and went straight up to Zhenxuan Peak that Xuanming had a hint of spiritual awareness, but that was all.

The owner of the carriage is Wu Hou of the Great Xuan Divine Dynasty. The one who came this time is Wu Hou's eldest son. He has reached the level of Qi training at the young age. He is younger than Chu Yunfei, but he is extremely talented. His name is Li Yunlong. He is good at using a silver spear, and his whole body is filled with a strong spear spirit.

Through his conversation with Xuanxu, Xuanming already knew the purpose of this visit, which was to get the Chunhua Liquid.

He did not say much about this, but just told Xuanxu to let him handle it. This was a kind of trust between fellow apprentices, and they complemented and supported each other.

Wu Hou is the general guarding the southern border of the Great Xuan Divine Dynasty. His cultivation is close to the Lianshen Realm. Although he was born in a poor family, he is quite legendary and has made many outstanding achievements. This conversation between Wu Hou's eldest son and Xuanxu made Xuanxu understand that Wu Hou was ambushed by the Wu Clan on the battlefield in southern border and fell into a coma. He was on the verge of death. He heard that Qiuzhen Temple possessed the Chunhua Liquid, so he came here from afar.

Whether it was giving or asking, Xuanming would not interfere and let Xuanxu handle it. He only had to focus on making the Sea-Suppressing Divine Pillar.

After Wu Hou's eldest son checked into the guest house, Xuanxu set out for Zangdao Peak to find Xuanming to discuss countermeasures. He had no objection to this and let Xuanxu handle it, leaving the full authority to the head of Qiuzhen Temple.

Wu Hou made great contributions to the Great Xuan Divine Dynasty and devoted himself to the cause until his death. Now his life is in danger. It is neither reasonable nor moral for the Truth Seeking Temple to sit idly by.

The two Taoists didn't discuss for long before Xuanming agreed to Xuanxu's request and allowed his junior brother to lend him the Chunhua Liquid. At the same time, he gave Xuanxu his own handwritten poem, which was the one about the unmoving spring mountains. He asked Xuanxu to pass it on to the eldest son of Wu Hou, to help the soldiers at the border to stabilize the southern border and kill the demons and monsters knocking on the gate!
Wu Hou saw the existence of the threshold to practicing spirit. Only he knew the bitterness of growing up from an ordinary farmer's family to this point. Xuanming admired Wu Hou's character of guarding the border for a hundred years and his family's loyalty and bravery, and was willing to lend him a helping hand.

If possible, Xuanming must find the Autumn Flower Liquid to awaken Wu Hou and let him continue to work hard for the people living on the border.

This is the foundation for a general at the frontier. The Marquis of Wu is only secondary. The people's safe and happy life is the primary and fundamental thing.

Although Xuanming did not come forward directly, he had his own scale in his heart and knew what was more important. He was happy to see Xuanxu agree to the request of Wu Hou's eldest son, not only for Wu Hou's loyalty, but also for the well-being of the people.

In this way, the Spring Liquid is a blessing rather than a curse for Xuanming, and the Wang family has done a good thing by accident.
