Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

"Your magic is definitely not some unorthodox or esoteric magic from the real world."

"Tell me, what kind of magic is this?"

"Where did you learn that from?"

The giant, who looked like an old woman, asked curiously.

Wang Quan didn't hide anything, but just smiled and told the old story of the general's tomb.

Upon hearing this, the old woman sighed and exclaimed, "No wonder!"

"So you're practicing the old methods of the previous dynasty."

Wang Quan's heart skipped a beat: "The old laws of the previous dynasty? What does this mean?"

The old lady looked around, and many old men and women quietly retreated, sitting upright around the hall like mountains, no longer moving.

The old woman shook her head and swayed her body. Her enormous body suddenly shrank, transforming into a beautiful woman with three heads and six arms.

This beautiful woman, who looked to be in her thirties, was delicate, soft, and captivating.

She's completely different from the old lady from before.

Looking at this beautiful woman, Wang Quan felt his heart tremble and his blood surge. He wished he could practice the "Yu Meiren" with her.

"This beauty has three heads; I wonder what it's like to practice with her."

His thoughts wandered aimlessly, and for a moment his mind became chaotic, with waves of turmoil rising within him.

The old woman from a moment ago, now a beautiful young woman, chuckled lightly: "You little rascal, do you perhaps want to sleep with this old lady?"

"I'm a remnant of the previous dynasty, aren't you afraid I'm too old?"

Royal power.........

"Ahem, old lady, what do you mean by 'the previous dynasty'? I don't understand."

The beautiful young woman rolled her eyes: "Just call me 'old lady,' don't call me 'old lady.'"

Wang Quan: "Sister!"

The beautiful young woman exclaimed happily, "Oh!"

"Let me explain it to you in a simple way:"

"In this world, many cities form empires, dynasties, and so on; and dynasties rise and fall."

"Cultivators, of course, also have dynasties and empires."

"The 'Worldly Court,' composed of unorthodox and esoteric teachings, constitutes a dynasty."

"When the [Heavenly Court] collapses and falls, it signifies the disappearance of a dynasty."

"When the next [Cultural Court of the World] is born, rises slowly into the sky, and soars above the heavens, a new dynasty will be born."

"Thus, there was a distinction between the old and the new, and between the new dynasty and the previous dynasty."

"The previous dynasty I'm referring to is the one where the 'Heavenly Court' toured the world."

"We old folks were beings from that dynasty."

"Compared to you now, we are naturally the old guard of the previous dynasty."

Wang Quan was stunned.

Does a single "Tianxia Daoting" represent an entire dynasty?

This was the first time he had heard of such an explanation.

But why is this not recorded in Taoist scriptures?

Is it because I haven't read enough Taoist scriptures? Or am I unaware of their hidden secrets?

Or is there another reason?

After a moment's thought, Wang Quan suppressed his many thoughts and asked curiously, "I hope you can explain in detail, sister."

The beautiful woman chuckled and said, "You'll naturally know this once you've mastered 100,000 volumes of Daoist scriptures."

"Telling you now will only cause you more trouble."

"I'll only tell you about my superhuman abilities now."

The king listened attentively.

The beautiful woman sighed, "In the previous dynasty, we were called Hundred-Armed Giants, a type of Lesser Strange People."

"And the Little Strange People are descendants of the Strange People from the ancient era."

At this point, the beautiful woman's eyes became hazy, as if she were recalling the past.

After a short while, she continued, "When the previous dynasty, the Daoist Court of the World, collapsed, we Hundred-Armed Giants mainly served as captains, generals, and commanders in the armies of various regions."

"The general from the great tomb you encountered was very weak; he was probably a captain in his previous life."

Wang Quan suddenly realized: "Then, sister, how long ago was the previous dynasty?"

The beautiful woman chuckled: "The previous dynasty was about 11,000 years ago, ninety-nine calendar years ago."

"It's only a few hundred years away from the Hundred Years' Calendar."

"At that time... dynastic calamity will descend from the heavens."

"If you can survive, your dynasty can continue; if you can't, you will become the people of the previous dynasty."

The king remained silent.

He thought about the collapse of the heavens, and about all the information he had received from the second layer of the world.

Based on what the beautiful woman said, he felt even more confused.

"Sister, what is a dynastic calamity?"

"Is the sky falling?"

"Why did you end up here after the sky collapsed?"

"Did you also encounter a cataclysm in the New World?"

"The Old World..."

Before he could finish speaking, the beautiful woman pointed a finger at his mouth and said, "You ask too many questions."

"Furthermore, there are some questions I don't know how to answer."

"Why don't you stop asking for now?"

Wang Quan blinked and nodded slightly.

The beautiful woman smiled, wiped Wang Quan's lips with her finger, and said with a smile, "The moment I saw you, I knew your name and the legends surrounding you."

"It's obvious that you have at least three Legendary levels."

"And I will answer three questions for you."

"Think carefully before you ask me."

Wang Quan pondered.

He had so many questions to ask.

However, we can only ask three questions right now, so we need to think about it carefully.

The beautiful woman didn't mind that he was deep in thought; instead, her eyes gleamed as she observed every inch of Wang Quan's flesh and blood.

After a long silence, Wang Quan spoke:

"Sister, I want to know, what is a dynastic calamity?"

The beautiful woman with three heads and six arms was taken aback: "Why are you asking that question?"

The next moment, before Wang Quan could speak, she said, "That's an excellent question."

"If I explain this problem to you, you will understand many profound mysteries."

"Yes, to understand the calamities of dynasties, we must first understand what an era is."

At this point, the beautiful woman paced back and forth, her feelings a mix of emotions, and said:

"One dynasty is called a hundred reigns; a hundred hundred reigns constitute an era."

"From the first era with complete historical records, we have gone through thirty-two eras to the present."

"This is the thirty-third era."

"In a few hundred years, it will be the thirty-fourth era."

"According to my family's ancestral records, in the first era with complete historical records, there were few changes of dynasties."

"But then, in the first era, a terrible being rose up."

"This being has extracted the power of this world, severed its origin, cut off its upper limit, betrayed the world, and caused a great disaster to it."

"Then, every hundred years, calamities will occur in this world."

"The initial calamities were caused by fire, wind, and water, as well as plagues, annihilation, and other disasters; although those calamities were terrible, many people were able to overcome them."

"But with the end of the first era, two more worlds have been created."

"The first layer is the underworld, and the second layer, third layer, and so on, are what you call the world."

"After the start of the second era, the calamity that occurs once every hundred years is the collapse of the heavens and the sinking of the earth."

"The second world formed in the previous era collapsed, and countless evils fell to earth."

"The underworld formed in the previous era was connected with the human world, and countless ghosts and monsters ran rampant."

"That's not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that the collapsing world will infect the human world."

"If people cannot withstand the pressure, they will be assimilated."

"The assimilated mountains, rivers, lakes, and other natural features were dragged into the underworld, the second layer of the world."

"And this—is the calamity of a dynasty."
