Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Hong Gu and Bai She'er's wives and concubines understood their husbands' worries. Although they had been moved to the Lesser Thousand Worlds and lost the outside world's allure, they were quite content with the company of their husbands.

For more than a month afterward, Liu Qing was preoccupied with enjoying himself with his wives and concubines. Thinking of the spirit pearl, he had Hong Gu swallow it. That night, they had intercourse and their bloodline was instantly restored.

Inside this spirit pearl, everything about Nezha has been erased, leaving it completely clean, just right to carry Liu Qing's bloodline.

With the spirit pearl of the goddess Nuwa as the foundation of her future offspring, the birth of such a child will surely attract the attention of the three realms. The extraordinary nature of the foundation, the strength of the talent, and the depth of the blessings will be rarely seen in the three realms.

On this day, Liu Qing suddenly noticed that there were subtle changes underground in the Lesser Thousand World.

He immediately scanned the area with his divine sense and was overjoyed.

It turns out that the four ghosts—Gao Li Gui Bo, Da Li Gui Wang, Du Jiao Gui Wang, and Mang Shan Gui Wang—who had been suppressed in the underworld of the Lesser Thousand Worlds, had their original Netherworld energy completely drained, and thus evolved into the Underworld of the Lesser Thousand Worlds.

Liu Qing arrived at the newly formed underworld in one step. He saw that the underworld was dark and gloomy, with no sun or moon in sight. The underworld energy was rampant, replacing the power of the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire, and continuously expanding the area of ​​the underworld.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he knew that this newly evolved underworld covered an area of ​​more than 10,000 square miles and was shaped like a funnel or an inverted pyramid.

The underworld is divided into two levels. The first level is the City of the Wrongfully Dead, which serves as a temporary dwelling place for the souls of the living and the dead. The second level is the City of Rebirth, which contains three Valleys of Reincarnation, namely those for 'mortals', 'demons', and 'gods'.

The second layer and below have not yet evolved.

The first level, the City of the Wrongfully Dead, was evolved from the original Netherworld energy of the Ghost Lord of Gaoli. There is a city lord, known as the Ghost Lord, who is responsible for managing the living beings and ghosts who come to this City of the Wrongfully Dead.

The second level of the City of Rebirth contains three Valleys of Reincarnation, which are the manifestations of the Mighty Ghost King, the One-Horned Ghost King, and the Mangshan Ghost King.

The primordial Netherworld energy of these three Ghost Kings evolved into mortals, demons, and gods, and their soul imprints became the three Valley Masters of Reincarnation.

Liu Qing used his divine sense to look down through the second layer and saw that the Netherworld Qi inside was crisscrossing and circulating, but because it lacked a key element, it could not evolve into something concrete for a long time.

Since Liu Qing didn't have a suitable target or target for them at the moment, he could only let them evolve on their own. He would accelerate the evolution once he had something like the Book of Life and Death, the Book of Yin and Yang, the Judge's Pen, or the Ghost King and the Underworld Emperor.

After appeasing the Ghost Lord and the three Ghost Kings and instructing them to work diligently, Liu Qing left the Underworld of the Lesser Thousand Worlds.

Although Gui Bo and the three Ghost Kings lost their original Netherworld Qi, they gained the right to rule the Underworld in exchange, which can be considered a different kind of enlightenment. As long as Liu Qing lives, the Underworld will continue to function, and they can also live forever.

Like a attached thought, it clings to Liu Qing's back, its fate intertwined with his. If Liu Qing lives forever, so too can they.

This is far better than them wandering the Three Realms without a place to settle down and rely on their origins. They don't need to work hard to cultivate; they can achieve immortality with the help of Liu Qing. They also no longer need to worry about being captured by some powerful being and becoming someone else's resources for enlightenment.

Of course, they have now become resources for Liu Qing's enlightenment, but Liu Qing is kind-hearted and did not exterminate them. He preserved their original imprints, allowing them to survive, and entrusted them with the important task of managing the underworld. All of this is enough to satisfy them.

After Liu Qing left the Underworld, he sensed that the Lesser Thousand Worlds were very different from before.

The invisible energy was divided into Yin and Yang, with the clear and the turbid rising or sinking respectively, and the cycle of reincarnation within the world slowly began.

The spiders, scorpions, and other creatures that Liu Qing had migrated earlier, some of which died, were carried away by the yin energy and drawn to the underworld. The female spiders and scorpions that were originally unable to reproduce were also affected by the yang energy and began to reproduce.

Under the power of the Yin Cave, Liu Qing saw that after the dead souls arrived at the City of Rebirth, they were divided into three reincarnation valleys and thrown into them. Their divine soul imprints were erased, leaving only their original imprints. Then they sank down from the entrance of the reincarnation valleys. They were shaken out of the underworld by the Netherworld Qi in the third layer and returned to the mortal world. They were attracted by the life force of the mother's womb and entered it to begin to gestate.

If it were the third level or the subsequent evolution of the underworld, it should involve punishment or reward for good deeds, with spirits and ghost messengers to guide the way. However, since it has not yet evolved, this is the only way it can be.

Furthermore, after a living soul has its memories erased, it is re-entered into the cycle of reincarnation, beginning one cycle after another. Over time, its original imprint will be worn away, resulting in incomplete reincarnation.

To prevent this from happening, Liu Qing needs to migrate more beings of various species into the Lesser Thousand Worlds to enrich the types of reincarnation marks and strengthen the cycle of reincarnation.

The thought is enough to make me want to do it. For now, the pilgrimage team doesn't have any major difficulties, so I need to keep things in order. If there are any, they will naturally ask for help.

Liu Qing then had the time to relocate some living beings to the Lesser Thousand Worlds.

Liu Qing stepped out of the small world and came outside. He scooped up countless fish, shrimp, turtles, crabs, clams, snails and other creatures from the water and threw them into the Jing and Wei rivers of the small world. There were also many duckweed, water hyacinths, lotus flowers and reeds to enrich the aquatic life.

Afterwards, they came to the Qinling Mountains and migrated many of the various wild animals, birds, insects, flowers, trees and plants they saw along the way, putting them into the microcosm.

Along the way, he waved his hand and carried away the humans fleeing from war to the Lesser Thousand Worlds.

The microcosm is now exactly the same as the real world, with the three realms (heaven, earth, and man), the sun, moon, and stars, all five elements, and the cycle of yin and yang, enough to allow humans with higher needs to thrive and multiply.

After having the Golden Light Holy Mother and other disciples of the Jie Sect secretly take care of these mortals who had migrated in, Liu Qing stopped interfering.

The land within this small world is fertile, with abundant rainfall, the waxing and waning of the sun and moon, and a variety of newly migrated flowers, plants, birds, and beasts. Such a favorable environment is enough for them to be self-reliant.

Liu Qing had the Golden Light Holy Mother and others secretly protect him, just in case, since the soul originates from the human body and there is still a bond of kinship between them.

After doing all this, Liu Qing saw that the creatures in the small world were multiplying and growing stronger day by day, and the whole world was full of vitality, so he was completely relieved.

The underworld has now evolved and is becoming increasingly sophisticated after Liu Qing relocated the creatures from the outside world.

Both conditions for achieving the Divine Realm Perfection have now been met.

The cave heaven evolved into a real minor world, its scope comparable to other people's middle worlds.

With the successful evolution of the underworld, a cycle of life and death was formed within the smaller worlds, allowing living beings to multiply and thrive endlessly, and the laws of the world began to slowly improve.

At this point, all Liu Qing needs to do is raise the divine power of this Divine Realm to its limit to achieve perfection.

The most crucial minor worlds and reincarnation have already evolved; all that remains is to absorb and transform divine power to reach the limit that this realm can accommodate. Such a matter is far too simple.

After telling the pregnant Hong Gu, Liu Qing went to the quiet room to begin his secluded cultivation. He absorbed and refined various heavenly treasures to increase his primordial energy, while also circulating the Shangqing Immortal Technique to absorb and refine the free spiritual energy from the outside world. By doing both, he quickly accumulated enough primordial energy.

With a thought, Liu Qing channeled the primordial energy of heaven and earth into his realm, and instantly, his divine realm soared.

[Realm: Divine Realm 51%]

[Realm: Divine Realm 64%]

[Realm: Divine Realm 87%].
Ultimately, Liu Qing's cultivation level surged to 99% before stopping. All that remained was for him to prepare to break through to the Golden Body Realm; at that moment, his cultivation level would naturally surpass 99%.

With his cultivation level breaking through to the Divine Realm Perfection, Liu Qing's strength improved once again.

Its true form, the Azure Dragon, has reached 900 zhang in length. To cross the 1,000 zhang mark, it is estimated that it will have to wait until it breaks through to the Golden Body Realm. In terms of strength, it will further improve, with its physical strength already reaching 20 million jin.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique cannot attempt to break through to the sixth revolution yet. The reason is simple: according to the technique, the necessary condition for breaking through to the sixth revolution is to reach the Golden Body Realm.

Otherwise, one would not be able to withstand the tempering during a breakthrough; at best, one would be seriously injured, and at worst, one's physical body would collapse.

Emerging from his secluded retreat, Liu Qing looked at Hong Gu, whose belly was slightly swollen, with a doting expression. After spending a few days with Hong Gu, he was kicked out by her and told to go find Bai She'er and the others.

When Bai She'er, Xiao Ya, Shui'er, Sang Qingjun and the others saw that Hong Gu was pregnant, they were all very envious and also wanted to give birth to Liu Qing's offspring.

Hong Gu knew what they were thinking, which is why, after their tender moment, she sent Liu Qing to their room.

Liu Qing witnessed the madness women would go to in order to get pregnant.

Its terrifying aspect is no less than Guang Chengzi's battle with Liu Qing using the Heaven-Turning Seal. Moreover, it's not just Guang Chengzi alone, but also Chi Jingzi, Taiyi Zhenren, Yu Ding Zhenren, and several others, all wielding spiritual treasures and launching a full-scale attack.

A few days later, when Liu Qing walked out of the shared boudoir of Bai She'er, Sang Qingjun, Shui'er, and Xiao Ya, leaning against the wall, Hong Gu saw her and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Liu Qing dared not associate with those crazy women again, so he made up an excuse and prepared to go to the Lesser Thousand Worlds for a stroll.

Unexpectedly, before I could even set off, I felt a sudden jolt in my mind, as if a connection with something had been severed.

Liu Qing was shocked and hurriedly checked.

After checking, his expression instantly turned gloomy. It turned out that it was nothing other than the connection with Liu Bai that had been severed.

Liu Bai was formed from a drop of Liu Qing's original essence blood and the innate spiritual embryo. After his birth, he was entrusted with Liu Qing's high hopes and was instructed to walk the earth path and the mountain path, with the plan to merge with his original self and walk the water path to form a mountain and water cycle, achieve the state of eternal golden body, and then break through to the golden body realm in one fell swoop.

The connection between Liu Qing and Liu Bai has now been severed, which is intended to prevent Liu Qing from breaking through to the Golden Body Realm and to cut off Liu Qing's path to enlightenment.

Enraged, Liu Qing immediately stepped out of the Lesser Thousand Worlds and arrived in the Qinling Mountains.

Earlier, when the creatures were migrating in the Qinling Mountains, Liu Qing had seen Liu Bai. Now, Liu Qing had scanned the Qinling Mountains with his divine sense but had not found any trace of Liu Bai.

Liu Qing felt a little panicked. He scanned the area several more times but still couldn't find anything. Undeterred, he immediately left the Qinling Mountains and searched in all four directions, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, but still couldn't find any trace of Liu Bai.

The Three Realms are too vast for Liu Qing to investigate thoroughly. Judging from the current situation, Liu Bai has definitely been discovered by someone with ulterior motives, had his connections severed, and been secretly abducted.

Liu Qing forced himself to calm down and stopped searching aimlessly. After calming down, Liu Qing concluded that this person had severed contact with Liu Bai and kidnapped her, so he must be after her.

Since it's aimed at me, I probably won't be able to find it even if I try again. In the end, it will definitely be used as a trump card to release Liu Bai to deal with me.

Since that's the case, there's no need to search for him or worry about Liu Bai's safety; we can just wait.

Although she had comforted herself, Liu Qing frowned again.

How exactly was the relationship between Liu Bai and himself leaked?
Liu Bai's aura and cultivation level were completely different from hers. Before leaving, Liu Qing gave her the Face-Changing Worm, which even changed her appearance.

If they didn't know the truth, Liu Bai and Liu Qing wouldn't have thought they were connected even if they were face to face. But now, they have been truly severed from their connection and kidnapped to be used against them.

This means that the person who made the move must have known the truth.

There are three calamities in the human world, and even the most powerful beings in the three realms would find it difficult to predict what will happen in the human world.

The truth cannot be deduced; the only one who knows it is oneself, and one would not reveal it. So, how exactly was it leaked?

Rewind time, to half a month ago.

Liu Bai transformed into a mountain hunter, traversing the Qinling Mountains.

He pretended to be a hunter while trying to comprehend the Way of Earth.

Earlier, at the very beginning of his life, the original Liu Qing used some rare and precious treasures to raise his cultivation level to the perfection of the Refining Void and Harmonizing the Dao.

The subsequent advancement in realms did not involve forcing growth, but rather required personal comprehension, using one's soul to unite with the earth element, until a foundation for the Dao was established. Only then could the true self be refined, helping the true self gather mountains and rivers, forming a Yin-Yang cycle, and ultimately reaching the Golden Body realm.

Liu Bai knew about the original body's plan and was happy to cooperate with it. Therefore, after arriving in Qinling, he devoted himself to comprehending the Way of Earth.

Before leaving, the original being imparted to me the insights and cultivation of some mountain gods and local deities that I had previously slain, as a reference.

With these as references, one can quickly find their own path in the earth element.

Liu Bai measured the Qinling Mountains with his footsteps, cutting through thorns and brambles along the mountain paths, his feet treading on the hills and wastelands, carefully sensing the earth beneath his feet, and immersing himself in the Way of Earth.

When tired, they would stop to rest for a while; when thirsty, they would eat some wild fruit and drink some mountain spring water, and then immerse themselves in meditation again.

He had considered that once he built his foundation on the Earth Element, his true self would use it to refine and transform it into resources for his true self's Golden Body Realm. Would Liu Bai still exist in the world then?
Probably not. They've all become provisions for the main body. Where would Liu Bai be now?
But Liu Bai didn't think about escaping.

Without the true self, there is no self; one's physical body, soul, and everything else are given by the true self.

Although his name is Liu Bai, he is also considered Liu Qing.

Since Liu Bai is Liu Qing, and he is using himself as his own resource, what is there to complain about or resent?
Liu Bai comforted himself in this way, smiled faintly, looked at the vast mountains in front of him and the expansive land that supported them, and wiped the corner of his eye.

Rest assured, Liu Bai will definitely build your Dao foundation on the Earth Element Dao, so that you can refine it.

Liu Bai scooped up a handful of mountain spring water and drank it down. He stood up and continued walking forward, comprehending the Way of Earth as he went.

Just then, a voice rang out from behind: "Master, please wait!"—(End of Chapter)
