From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 265 Innate Spiritual Root
In early June, Qingxiao Sect publicly announced that Zhao Zhen had become its first disciple with supernatural powers, while Jiang Zhaoxia was not considered a disciple because of her status as an elder of the Sword Sect.

The disciples were already mentally prepared for this matter. Although they were not surprised, they began to investigate the identity of the disciple with supernatural powers.

The three Xiao brothers and Yun Cai sought out Li Qingqiu, all wanting to cultivate supernatural powers, but Li Qingqiu refused.

First enter the realm of spiritual consciousness, then cultivate supernatural powers!
Li Qingqiu's requirements for them also spread within the sect, which made more and more disciples realize the importance of focusing their attention on cultivation.

At the end of June, Zhao Zhen successfully transcended his tribulation and became the sect's fourth cultivator at the Spiritual Consciousness Realm.

Zhao Zhen withstood forty-two bolts of heavenly lightning, causing Xu Ning and Jiang Zhaoxia to leave in silence.

Through Zhao Zhen, Li Qingqiu gained a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Zhao Zhen underwent tribulation through elixirs, formations, and talismans, and the tribulation did not change as a result, which shows that there are methods to overcome tribulation.

Once you understand this, the heavenly tribulation isn't so terrifying.

In the early stages of a sect's development, spiritual consciousness realm cultivators are scarce, and sects can provide a large amount of resources to disciples undergoing tribulation to help them successfully overcome their tribulations.

At the age of nineteen, Zhao Zhen achieved the Spiritual Consciousness Realm, fulfilling his talent and living up to the expectations of the entire sect. At the same time, he also set the standard for top geniuses.

Even though Jian Du, who was only twenty years old, was clearly inferior to him, the other disciples felt that he was far inferior to Zhao Zhen.

This year, Jian Du has only barely reached the seventh level of the Nourishing Essence Realm, still far from the Spiritual Consciousness Realm.

Currently, only Hu Yan, Li Shouzhen, and Li Shoumin have a chance to break Zhao Zhen's record.

Zhao Zhen has become the most talked-about disciple of Qingxiao Sect.

The youngest disciple at the Spiritual Consciousness Realm, and the only disciple with supernatural powers.

Zhao Zhen's name even spread throughout the world, and more and more people knew that there was a Zhao Zhen in the Qingxiao Sect.

Liu Jing even sent someone to deliver congratulatory gifts to Zhao Zhen.

In mid-July, the Northern Liang Province declared its allegiance to Liu Jing. With this, the entire land of China was unified and belonged to the Liu family, to the delight of the people.

Peace finally arrived, and the people of the world were waiting for Liu Jing to establish the country.

This day, after noon.

Li Qingqiu sat on a chair in Lingxiao Courtyard, resting while flipping through the Daoist chart panel.

The number of registered disciples has exceeded 20,000. Even though the entry threshold is getting higher and higher, the number of disciples who are registered every day is still quite large, not to mention the miscellaneous disciples.

The number of menial disciples in Qingxiao Sect has exceeded 100,000, which is an enormous number.

Li Qingqiu suddenly raised an eyebrow and exclaimed in surprise. He saw a disciple's panel displayed in front of him.

Name: Bai Yan

【Sex: Male】

[Age: 66 years old]

Loyalty (Leader/Sect Leader): 69/72 (Maximum 100)

[Cultivation Aptitude: Excellent]

[Comprehension: Excellent]

[Destiny: Martial Arts Prodigy, Obsessed with Immortality]

[Martial Arts Prodigy: Always Has Extraordinary Insights into Martial Arts]

[Obsession with Immortality: Striving to become stronger for immortality, willing to abandon everything for it]

……

White flame?

Could it be the White Flame Immortal from Fengxia Mountain?
Li Qingqiu had heard Shen Yue mention that among the three people who had the potential to enter the Dao through martial arts, there was Master Baiyan.

He continued to look down at the profile pictures and saw another genius from Fengxia Mountain that Zhang Yuchun had mentioned before.

Name: Bai Yutian

【Sex: Male】

[Age: 11 years old]

Loyalty (Leader/Sect Leader): 89/77 (Maximum 100)

[Cultivation Aptitude: Excellent]

[Comprehension: Exceptional]

[Destiny: A prodigy with innate spiritual talent]

[A prodigy of all time: nurtured by a lineage for a thousand years, transformed by destiny, protected by the fortune of heaven and earth, and unaffected by inner demons]

[Innate Spiritual Root: The purest spiritual root for cultivation; even without the methods of cultivation, one can achieve enlightenment through one's own understanding.]

……

Good guy!
Exceptional comprehension!
He also possesses the destiny of having innate spiritual roots, making him a true genius in cultivation.

Unfortunately, these two are from Fengxia Mountain, and it will take some effort to completely bring them into the Qingxiao Sect.

Master Baiyan has the destiny of "obsession with immortality," so he's easy to win over.

As for Bai Yutian, he is highly loyal to Li Qingqiu. As long as his loyalty is raised to over 90, Li Qingqiu will dare to cultivate him vigorously.

"Why does it feel like something's missing? Not enough to excite me?"

Li Qingqiu began to examine himself.

He was happy, but not excited. In the end, it was the foundation of Qingxiao Sect that had been strengthened, and the talents of Baiyan Zhenren and Bai Yutian were not yet sufficient to challenge Qingxiao Sect.

Having seen many geniuses of this caliber, Li Qingqiu's sense of surprise naturally diminished.

After much deliberation, he decided not to personally train the two, but to give other masters the opportunity. Of course, he did this also to leave his apprentices some competitors.

In Li Qingqiu's view, Bai Yutian still has some gaps compared to Xu Ning, Zhao Zhen, Yuan Li, Ji Ya, Yun Cai, and Hu Yan.

Compared to these two, Li Qingqiu was even more looking forward to the performance of the Yandao Sect after it switched to the Immortal Path.

Just as Li Qingqiu was pondering, Zhang Yuchun walked into the courtyard.

He approached Li Qingqiu and said, "Senior Brother, Bai Yan Zhenren and Bai Yutian from Fengxia Mountain have joined our sect. Would you like to meet them? With your status, even if you don't make any promises, just being able to meet them would be enough to prove Qingxiao Sect's sincerity."

Because the emergence of cultivation forces cannot be completely contained, Li Qingqiu has formulated a series of plans, and Fengxia Mountain is an important part of those plans.

Li Qingqiu nodded and said, "Let's bring them to the banquet tonight."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuchun was immediately delighted and turned to make the arrangements.

Li Qingqiu thought of the Yandao Sect and decided to go and take a look at it.

The two former martial arts saints have both joined the Qingxiao Sect. The Qingxiao Sect will demonstrate the grandeur of a celestial sect to the entire martial arts world and all people under heaven, letting the world know that the Qingxiao Sect is not fighting for worldly interests, but for something much more distant.

He stood up and went to Wuzong.

……

Inside a secluded courtyard, Zhang Ping and Murong Xi were entertaining two members of the Murong family.

It was Murong Tiancheng and Murong Tianxuan.

When Li Qingqiu went north to find Li Sifeng, he rescued two people along the way, and these two people have now joined the Qingxiao Sect.

Listening to Murong Tianxuan recount the story of her brother and sister and the sect leader, Zhang Ping and Murong Xi were both moved.

They had heard of the power of the Ghost King of the Netherworld, and the two of them were truly lucky to have survived his clutches.

"I originally thought that Qingxiao Sect wouldn't accept a cripple like me, but I didn't expect them to not discriminate against me and let me take the test, which I actually passed," Murong Tiancheng said with a smile while sitting in his wheelchair.

He came to Qingxiao Sect not only to cultivate immortality, but also to express his gratitude to Li Qingqiu. If Qingxiao Sect did not accept him, he would not regret it; he would simply consider it an opportunity to witness the splendor of the number one sect in the world.

Zhang Ping said, "Qingxiao Sect never just looks at physical condition when accepting disciples, and your crippled body may be treatable within the sect."

Murong Tiancheng looked at him in surprise, not understanding his words.

Murong Tianxuan's eyes lit up, and she pressed, "Senior Brother Zhang Ping, what do you mean? Does the Qingxiao Sect possess a miraculous medicine that can regenerate severed limbs?"

Murong Xi shook her head and said, "Not for now, but it may happen in the future. Some disciples have already been researching this area and have even helped other disciples rebuild new arms and legs. You should know that Qingxiao Sect is not only cultivating immortality, but also exploring the path of cultivation. The sect leader values ​​innovation in all aspects."

These words made Murong Tiancheng and Murong Tianxuan exchange a glance, both of them feeling even more hopeful for the future.

Afterwards, they inquired about the Qingxiao Sect from Zhang Ping and Li Qingqiu.

Zhang Ping and Murong Xi were also very enthusiastic and told them about the events and stories of Qingxiao Sect.

This is a microcosm of what it's like for new disciples to enter the sect. More and more new disciples know people within the sect, and they learn about Qingxiao Sect and Li Qingqiu through these acquaintances.

As time went by, Li Qingqiu was increasingly regarded by many as a celestial being.

Li Qingqiu is the biggest name in the Qingxiao Sect.

……

into the night.

Bai Yutian was organizing the clothes and books issued by Qingxiao Sect inside the room. These items alone showed how wealthy and powerful Qingxiao Sect was.

Fengxia Mountain cannot treat its new disciples like this.

knock --

There was a knock on the door, and Bai Yutian immediately said, "Come in."

Master Baiyan pushed open the door and entered. He closed the door, then walked to the table and sat down, asking with a smile, "Today, you also met the Sect Master of Qingxiao Sect. What are your thoughts?"

Bai Yutian stopped what he was doing and pondered, "He's kinder than I imagined, and I can't even feel any pressure from him. I can sense the righteousness of the Qingxiao Sect from him, and I can also believe that the Qingxiao Sect has a much bigger goal than simply fighting for power and profit."

Master Baiyan sighed, "Yes, I never expected him to be this kind of person. Perhaps this is why Qingxiao Sect was able to rise so quickly. Qingxiao Sect is willing to help other sects comprehend the methods of cultivation. This magnanimity is something that other sects cannot match."

Bai Yutian calmly said, "If this continues, even those from other sects who are interested in cultivating immortality will flock to Qingxiao Sect."

"Nothing is perfect. As the sect leader, would you reject Qingxiao Sect because of these concerns?"

When asked by Master Bai Yan, Bai Yutian shook his head.

He did not question the grandeur of Qingxiao Sect, but could see its future trajectory.

It is impossible for other sects to surpass Qingxiao Sect unless Qingxiao Sect splits up internally.

Bai Yutian looked at Bai Yan Zhenren and asked, "Master, will you return to Fengxia Mountain in the future?"

Master Baiyan replied, "Of course I will return, but I prefer the path taken by Qingxiao Sect."

Bai Yutian remained silent, never expecting that his master would change his mind on the very first day he arrived at Qingxiao Sect.

He had to admit that he also really liked Qingxiao Sect; everything here was just too wonderful.

Fengxia Mountain appeared lifeless, and its philosophy of saving the world seemed to be less effective than that of Qingxiao Sect.

"Rest well. We'll familiarize ourselves with the sect again tomorrow morning," Master Baiyan said as he stood up.

Bai Yutian nodded, then watched his master leave.

After the door closed, Bai Yutian looked at the oil lamp in the room, his thoughts drifting.

"You see? Qingxiao Sect is terrifying. Li Qingqiu is a perfect disguise, but he actually harbors ambitions to conquer the world."

A cold laugh rang out, but Bai Yutian was not surprised. He turned his head to look at the bed.

There was a black hand with red hair on the bed, arched like a spider.
