This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Five years is a long time for ordinary people.

Li Daoxuan probably never imagined that only a year had passed since he left the Jingming Cave Heaven for the Xuanhuang Great World, but more than five years had already passed within the Jingming Cave Heaven.

Yes, as a small world within a grotto-heaven, the Jingming Grotto-heaven and the Xuanhuang Great World have different time flows.

One year in the Xuanhuang Great World is equivalent to about five years in the Jingming Cave Heaven.

In fact, this ratio was even more exaggerated in ancient times. However, the spiritual energy of the Jingming Cave Heaven was exhausted, and the origin of the world was almost depleted, so this ratio was gradually shrinking.

However, these are all things that happened later. Neither Li Daoxuan nor Qingfeng Mingyue noticed this difference.

Both sides are living their own lives.

In just over five years, Qingxu Mountain has gained an extremely high reputation throughout the entire Da Zhao Jianghu.

The top sects in the martial arts world all know more or less about the secrets of Qingxu Mountain, and know that the founder of Qingxu Mountain is a true immortal in the mortal world who can decide the succession of a country's imperial power.

Today, temples dedicated to that immortal can be found all over the world, and inside each temple stands a statue of a sage with an air of otherworldly grace, whose title is Taiyi Daode Xianjun (Great Lord of Morality and Ethics).

He was worshipped by the people and his name spread far and wide.

Even the Dali people, after hearing the name of Taiyi Daode Xianjun, built temples in their own country to worship this true immortal.

You know what, according to feedback from the people, this immortal lord seems to be quite efficacious.

It is precisely because of this that the incense at Xianjun Temple has naturally become more and more popular.

Inside the main hall of Qingxu Mountain, Zixiao Palace, there is also a statue of Li Daoxuan enshrined on the altar.

However, within the Taoist community, Li Daoxuan's title is not Moral Immortal Lord, but Taiyi Zhizhen Daoxuan Heavenly Venerable.

Five years is not a long time, but it's not short either.

It was enough to allow a girl like Mingyue to grow into an ethereal and beautiful fairy.

Wang Jingshu was able to make the entire martial arts world of Da Zhao witness the rise of a female sword immortal with the sword in her hand.

It enabled Qingfeng, a former slave boy, to become a Taoist sect leader revered by everyone in the martial arts world.

Over five years, Wang Yangming assisted the new emperor in gradually pulling the crumbling Zhao Dynasty back from the brink of collapse.

He also made many innovations based on some manuscripts left by Li Daoxuan.

For example, the development of agricultural technology and the innovation of power and energy are most represented by the application of the steam engine.

This led to a dramatic increase in the country's overall productivity.

Wang Yangming firmly secured his position as the Prime Minister of the Great Zhao Dynasty, becoming known as the "Prime Minister of All Time" among the people.

As the founder of the Taoist martial arts branch, Ye San Niang has finally perfected the Taoist martial arts under the guidance of Qing Feng over the years.

Based on Tai Chi Chuan, incorporating the true meaning of Taoism, and adding the internal alchemy method that Li Daoxuan had previously created for Wang Yangming, he created Taiyi Pure Yuan Gong and Taoist martial arts such as Tai Chi Chuan and sword.

With the help of the Qi-replenishing pill, he broke through to the Grandmaster realm within five years and became a martial arts master.

They also carved out a separate peak on Qingxu Mountain, named Chunyuan Peak, and built a Taoist palace there, named Taiji Hall.

They worship Taiyi Zhizhen Dao Xuantianzun as their patriarch and founded the Daoist Martial Sect lineage.

After establishing Chunyuan Peak, Ye Sanniang went down the mountain to find a successor and strengthen the Daoist martial arts sect.

Ye San Niang knew that with her talent, reaching the sixth realm Grandmaster level was already her limit.

To truly develop these Taoist martial arts to their fullest potential, we need even more outstanding successors.

Therefore, she left Qingxu Mountain as soon as she entered the sixth realm.

Over the years, Qingfeng and Mingyue have often traveled down the mountain, partly to help people and save lives, but mainly to find successors.

In five years, the Taoist genealogy that Li Daoxuan had copied separately for Qingfeng had added more than ten disciples who could be included in the genealogy.

Some of them are under Qingfeng's name, and some are under Mingyue's name.

Even Zhu Jiu brought back a white snake from the depths of Qingxu Mountain, enlightened it, included it in the genealogy, and made it its successor.

Wang Jingshu, however, remained all alone.

Many years ago, Li Daoxuan created the "Yi Ru Sword Scripture" for her. Later, Wang Jingshu gained further insights based on the "Yi Ru Sword Scripture" and comprehended the true immortal sword method. With the Dao as the foundation and the magic power as the source of strength, she could control the sword with her primordial spirit and kill enemies from a hundred paces away.

Wang Jingshu was given the Daoist name "Jinghong" by Li Daoxuan. After mastering the sword technique, she named the sword technique she had comprehended "Jinghong Sword Manual".

From then on, he devoted himself to diligent study and practice day and night.

Drawing inspiration from Taoist scriptures, the Taiyi Danjing, and even some stories previously told by Li Daoxuan, he gradually perfected and perfected the work.

He then trained at the foot of the mountain, traversing the world with only a sword in his hand, challenging many renowned martial arts masters.

I finally mastered this sword technique to its fullest extent not long ago.

Wang Jingshu returned to Qingxu Mountain and, like Ye Sanniang, opened up a peak, named Yiru Peak, and built a Taoist palace there, named Jinghong Hall.

After completing these tasks, Wang Jingshu, like Ye Sanniang, also went down the mountain.

This departure lasted for a year.

When she returned, Wang Jingshu had a little boy with her.

At the age of six or seven, he was thin and bony, as if he were just a skeleton.

But when the two sect leaders, Qingfeng and Mingyue, first saw this child, they both had the same thought: this child would probably be the most outstanding among the second-generation disciples of the Daoist sect.

The little boy's eyes revealed an unimaginable determination.

Under the clear and bright moonlight, one can see a tiny yet indestructible aura hovering above the little boy's head.

That's why they had this idea.

According to Wang Jingshu, she pulled the little boy out of a pile of corpses.

There is a small town to the east of Dazhao. A plague broke out in the town, and corpses piled up like mountains.

When Wang Jingshu arrived, the town had been turned into a dead land. While drawing talismans to dispel the plague, she discovered the little boy.

When she found him, the little boy was barely clinging to life, and she saved him with a Qingling Rejuvenation Pill.

Wang Jingshu immediately recognized the little boy's unusual nature and brought him back.

Perhaps because he had experienced life and death, the little boy was taciturn and rarely spoke to anyone except Wang Jingshu.

He wouldn't tell you his name when asked. He would sit on the steps outside Jinghong Hall every day, watching the clouds roll and swirl around the mountain, often for the entire day.

From then on, the second-generation disciples of Qingxu Mountain gave him the nickname "idiot".

Until one day, Wang Jingshu brought him to the main peak of Zixiao Palace and asked Qingfeng to forge a sword for him.

Qingfeng and Wang Jingshu stayed in the alchemy room with the little boy for three days. When they came out three days later, the little boy had a sword in his arms.

His life changed from sitting on the steps in a daze every day to sitting on the steps in a daze every day, holding that sword.

So the little boy's nickname changed from "Silly Boy" to "Sword Silly Boy".
