Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

In addition, this Nine Heavens Breath Soil is a whole ball the size of an egg. When Liu Qing breaks through to the Five Qi Realm, he only needs to extract a portion of the innate earth element Qi.

The remaining portion can be used as material for the evolution of the grotto-heaven. With this portion of Nine Heavens Breath Soil, the power grotto-heaven can be expanded several times over.

Moreover, thanks to the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, his own Power Cave Heaven is also making great strides toward becoming a true Lesser Thousand World.

"I dare not refuse this gift from my senior brother," Liu Qing hurriedly accepted it and put it into the Power Cave Heaven before feeling at ease.

I'm afraid that if I'm so modest, my senior brother Pilu Xian will be reluctant to part with me.

After all, as the Three Realms have developed to this point, the remaining Nine Heavens Breath Soil has become increasingly rare. Even if some still exist, they are all hidden in the hands of powerful beings in the Three Realms and are almost impossible to find outside.

Liu Qing previously assessed its value as being no less than that of a top-grade innate spiritual root, but in terms of rarity alone, it was even higher.

After all, the Ten Innate Spiritual Roots still exist in the world, and the Ginseng Fruit Tree and the Ren Water Peaches are magnificently displayed in the Three Realms, while the Nine Heavens Breath Soil has not appeared in the world for thousands of years.

Liu Qing chuckled and turned her head toward her senior brother, the Golden Hoop Immortal, blinking her eyes.

Brother Golden Hoop Immortal, they all have it, so don't even think about escaping it.

Teacher Yu Yu Dao Ren, Senior Sister Wu Dang Sheng Mu, and Senior Brother Pi Lu Xian all burst into laughter.

With a bitter face, Jin Gu Xian said in a sullen voice, "Junior brother, I'm really poor. I don't have any treasures that can help you break through to the Five Elements of Innate Qi."

The Holy Mother of Wudang rolled her eyes, stood up and kicked the Golden Hoop Immortal in the butt: "You blockhead, didn't you see that Junior Brother is about to break through to the Five Qi Realm? Right now, he has the Water, Wood, and Earth elements of the Five Elements, but he is still missing the Metal and Fire elements."

"Senior sister, I really don't have any innate metal or fire element energy. If I did, how could I not give it to junior brother?"

"Fool, I thought you were stupid when you first entered the sect, and you still are. You don't have innate fire element energy, but don't you have innate metal element energy?"

The Golden Hoop Immortal was stunned for a moment, still not understanding. The Pilu Immortal couldn't stand it any longer and reminded him, "Senior Brother, have you forgotten your origins?"

"Oh dear!"

The Golden Hoop Immortal suddenly realized what was happening, touched the golden hoop on his head, and chuckled foolishly.

"Back then, you all said I was the biggest fool in the Jie Sect, and I wasn't convinced. Now it seems I really was, haha."

As soon as the Golden Hoop Immortal touched the golden hoop on his head, a golden aura appeared, swirling in his palm like a golden dragon.

"Junior brother, please don't blame your senior brother. I really didn't react just now."

"But you forgot that I am the innate spiritual treasure Golden Hoop in human form. This wisp of my original innate metal element energy is just right to help you break through to the Five Qi Realm."

Liu Qing hurriedly waved his hand: "Senior brother, you mustn't! This wisp of innate metal element energy is your very essence. If I were to refine it, you would surely lose your essence. You absolutely mustn't!"

"Junior brother, I was just joking. Senior brother, you mustn't damage your source like that."

Liu Qing's move was not a deliberate refusal, but a genuine expression of his desire, even though he also coveted this wisp of innate metal element energy.

But it cannot harm the Golden Hoop Immortal's essence.

“Disciple, please accept it. Your senior brother has already achieved perfect golden body and immortal soul. He has reached the limit of his cultivation in this life and cannot reach the Great Luo realm. Therefore, it is no big deal if this wisp of innate metal element energy is damaged.

Only then did Liu Qing realize that his senior brother, the Golden Hoop Immortal, had reached the Immortal Realm.

However, according to Yu Yu Dao Ren, Senior Brother Jin Gu Xian's path to enlightenment has come to an end, and he can no longer even glimpse the Great Luo Realm.

Therefore, this wisp of innate metal element energy originating from the body should not be damaged if it is lost. If there is hope of advancing to the Great Luo realm, the body should not be damaged and this wisp of innate metal element energy should not be lost.

The Golden Hoop Immortal looked somewhat ashamed: "What you say is absolutely right, Master. I am not talented enough and it will be difficult for me to break through to the Great Luo Realm in this lifetime. Therefore, the innate metal element in my body has no effect on you."

Even the Immortal Golden Hoop, who was at the Undying Realm, still felt ashamed of his teacher. Liu Qing was speechless. Looking across the Three Realms, those at the Golden Body Realm could be called great powers, and those at the Undying Realm were extremely rare.

Senior brother, aren't you afraid of corrupting my resolve by acting like this in front of a nobody like me at the Dharma Realm level? Is this really not Versailles?

Be content. Even the eighteen Arhats, the backbone of Buddhism, have only reached the Immortal Realm, and many Bodhisattvas and Buddhas have only reached the same level of cultivation as you.

Looking across the Three Realms, those at the Great Luo Realm are few and far between; you have already stood at the pinnacle of the Three Realms.

Only then did Liu Qing feel at ease accepting the wisp of innate metal element energy given to him by the Golden Hoop Immortal, deeply moved.

Although Jin Gu Xian is known as the number one fool of the Jie Sect, he is honest and responsible. His ability to guard Bei Zhong Mountain for a thousand years and protect the remains of his fellow Jie Sect members who died in battle is enough to earn his respect.

In addition, the Golden Hoop Immortal was kind and generous to his fellow disciples. Although he lacked good fortune and was always poor, he gave Liu Qing three dragon pearls the first time he met him, helping Liu Qing transform into a dragon.

Now, he is even generously sharing his innate metal element energy, which moves Liu Qing even more.

Unlike the Holy Mother of Wudang and the Immortal Pilu, who merely donated their acquired treasures that were useless to themselves, the Golden Hoop Immortal sacrificed his own body to give away a wisp of his essence. How could a billionaire's golden bowl be compared to a beggar's piece of bread?

Moved, Liu Qing secretly remembered the kindness shown to Jin Gu Xian and vowed to repay him in the future.

At this point, Liu Qing had acquired the innate elements of water, earth, wood, and metal. Of the five innate elements, only the element of fire was missing.

If Liu Qing finds the innate fire element in the future, after refining it, it will completely replace the acquired element. Not only will he be able to instantly achieve the Five Elements Realm, but he will also be able to leap from the acquired path to become an innate being.

Becoming a primordial being is like having a stepping stone to the Golden Body Realm, the Undying Realm, the Great Luo Realm, or even the Primordial Dao Fruit.

Although many factors are involved in the final attainment of enlightenment, the most basic innate beings have been satisfied.

Having received gifts of treasures from his teachers and fellow disciples, Liu Qing felt joy for the first time at the atmosphere within the Jie Sect and genuinely accepted his identity as a disciple of the Jie Sect.

If Liu Qing had previously intended to use me, now he truly considers me a disciple of the Jie Sect.

"Now that everything is done, my disciple, you may go out. There are still matters outside waiting for you to attend to."

"The teacher originally took you as a disciple with the intention of using you to take advantage of the change of dynasties in the human world to drag Buddhism into the mess and settle some of the karma left over from the Investiture of the Gods."

"But now the teacher feels that the cause and effect of my sect a thousand years ago cannot be imposed on you. In the future, you can act according to your own will and do not need to add burdens to yourself."

At this point, Daoist Yu Yu chuckled, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes: "The Journey to the West, which Buddhism has set up, is intended to revive the fortunes of the East and restore Buddhism. I, this old Daoist, would like to see how they plunder the fortunes of the East during the Journey to the West!"

The last trace of dissatisfaction in Liu Qing's heart vanished without a trace with the caring words of his teacher, Daoist Yu Yu, and he completely accepted the Jie Sect.

At this point, Master Yu Yu had no further intention of using him.

"Your disciple will respectfully follow your teachings."

Liu Qing bowed respectfully, and then made a Daoist bow to Wudang Holy Mother, Pilu Immortal, and Golden Hoop Immortal: "Senior sisters and brothers, I, your junior brother, will take my leave."

His words were much more sincere than before.

Liu Qing stepped out of Yu Yu Dao Ren's vast world, and behind him, the portal closed, and he disappeared without a trace.

If not for his teacher's summons, Liu Qing, with his current cultivation level, would not be able to find this vast world. However, he is safe, as he has the Intercepting Sect disciple token in his hand. If he encounters a problem he cannot solve, he can naturally summon his sect.

The agreement previously made with the Buddha that no one below the Great Luo Realm should intervene in the current events of assisting the Tang Dynasty in its conquest of the Sui Dynasty and the Great Calamity of the Journey to the West, is likely to be invalidated by Liu Qing, given the sense of loyalty among the disciples of the Jie Sect.

When it comes to protecting their own, the Jie Sect is number one; no one dares to say they are second.

If you need anything, ask your senior brothers and sisters. There are so many Jie Sect brothers and sisters in heaven and earth, it would be a waste not to use them. Even if some don't want to come, Shen Gongbao and Yuan Haowen will call them over.

Furthermore, this agreement was based on the premise that the Buddha believed he would not be able to reach the Great Luo Realm within a few decades.

Moreover, most of the disciples of the Jie Sect were either listed in the Investiture of the Gods or converted by Buddhism into the Eight Legions. He believed that by agreeing that the Great Luo Realm could not make a move, he could restrict powerful figures of the Jie Sect such as the Holy Mother of Wudang, as well as the remaining Daoists transformed from the Sage of Tongtian.

However, this limited them. The Buddha believed that his Buddhism would surely prevail, after all, Buddhism was now the number one religion in the Three Realms, with many disciples below the Great Luo Realm, the Eight Legions, the Dharma Kings and protectors, and the Five Hundred Arhats, etc.

He hadn't expected that Liu Qing could free the largest number of disciples of the Jie Sect, who were trapped within the Investiture of the Gods, from the Investiture of the Gods and bring them into his fold as allies.

With the prospect of breaking through to the Five Qi Realm and gaining significant strength, coupled with the assistance of numerous disciples from the Jie Sect, Liu Qing's confidence soared after his emergence.

Looking down from the air, Liu Qing was surprised to see that the Tang army was still fighting the Sui army on the battlefield below.

Just now, I entered the Great Thousand World of Daoist Yu Yu, listened to his teachings, and comprehended his cultivation techniques and supernatural powers. Several years had passed, but I never imagined that only a moment had passed outside.

Liu Qing immediately realized that his teacher, Daoist Yu Yu, was too powerful; he had only increased the flow of time within the vast world he had evolved by hundreds of times.

Liu Qing was filled with admiration. Although it was only a wisp of a saint's soul, its cultivation and methods were so advanced that they were simply astonishing.

Liu Qing focused his mind, using his Yin-Yang Divine Power to enhance his vision, and looked down at the battlefield through the clouds.

It can be seen that the Tang army at this time had many clones arranged by Liu Qing and the Yin soldiers they led, as well as tens of thousands of water soldiers and river demons, the Yin Jade Spirit Banner puppets they released, and the Six Immortals of Thorns assisting them.

However, this did not completely secure victory. With the help of a group of demon kings, pro-Sui mountain gods, and local deities, Wei Wentong, despite having his army's Buddha-like spirit destroyed by Liu Qing and several demon kings, only suffered a defeat and did not collapse. He even fought the Tang army to a standstill.

Liu Qing swept across the battlefield.

It was finally discovered that the Sui army had not yet been defeated because there were five demon saints at the Three Flowers Realm, as well as a mad monkey.

In the cultivation of demons, those at the Five Qi Realm can be called Demon Kings, those at the Three Flower Realm can be called Demon Saints, and those above the Three Flower Realm can be called Great Saints.

Now, with the assistance of five powerful demon saints at the Three Flowers Realm, each possessing formidable combat strength, they are overwhelming the four Three Flowers Realm puppets left behind by Liu Qing: City God Yang Yong, City God Yang Zhen, Centipede Dragon, and Black Flood Dragon.
