This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Qingfeng slowly exhaled, turned around, and bowed to the blue lotus in front of him.

"I will forever remember your life-saving grace."

"If I am fortunate enough to attain the Great Dao in the future, I will surely return to this place to help you escape your predicament and achieve transcendence..."

The blue lotus with only one lotus leaf and one lotus seedpod seemed to understand the gentle breeze's words, and its body swayed slowly.

It then withered rapidly in a very short time, and finally completely decayed, leaving only a single root lurking at the bottom of the pool.

It would probably take at least tens of thousands of years for the area to regain its vitality.

A gentle breeze opened its palm, revealing another lotus seed lying in its center.

It was that blue lotus seed.

The golden lotus seed had already merged into his flesh and blood, becoming a part of his body.

"Extreme Yang Sword Body, Taiyin Sword Body..."

"The wonders of nature are truly beyond words..."

Qingfeng was filled with emotion, feeling that the wonder of fate was beyond words.

I never expected that I would stumble upon such a miraculous medicine after wandering into this place.

The Yin-Yang Sword Lotus consists of one lotus pod and two lotus seeds.

One is extremely Yang, and the other is extremely Yin.

Once one refines one, one can achieve either the Extreme Yang or the Taiyin Sword Body.

From then on, practicing swordsmanship became as easy as eating and drinking; he could learn any sword technique or skill in no time and master it quickly.

Moreover, the sword itself can spontaneously generate extremely strong sword intent, which can make ten thousand swords submit.

Sword intent can also nourish the sword, improve its quality, and so on...

The Yin-Yang Sword Lotus is divided into two parts, Yin and Yang, because the characteristics of these two parts are completely different.

One is Yang, representing boundless creation and limitless vitality.

After refining, one can possess a near-immortal physique.

Its flesh and blood, along with the power it generates, can even help others save lives, heal injuries, and prolong life.

It can also enhance others' talent in practicing swordsmanship.

One is Yin, representing destruction and slaughter, with boundless killing power.

Refining the Yin Lotus can condense one's sword energy to its extreme; with a single strike, all life withers away.

It can sever someone's sword heart, forever denying them the path of the sword...

If the Yin and Yang sword lotuses are refined together, they can transform into the innate Yin-Yang sword body, which can determine life and death with a single sword strike, traversing countless ages, and becoming immortal and indestructible.

Qingfeng looked at the Yin Lotus in his hand, his expression clearly showing some hesitation and struggle.

But in the end, he put it back into his Qiankun bag and kept it safe.

"Taking all the advantages isn't necessarily a good thing..."

Qingfeng muttered to himself.

"Compared to this, Jing Shu seems more suitable for this Yin Lotus..."

Qingfeng himself probably didn't realize that the corners of his mouth would always unconsciously turn up when he talked about Jing Shu.

Now that all the hidden dangers have been eliminated, Qingfeng has no intention of staying here any longer.

He took out the Haotian Mirror, and with a thought, he was about to tear open the void and return to the spatial node he had left on the Yinming Island in the Luo River.

The divine light of Haotian was activated, and Qingfeng disappeared by the lotus pond.

Just when he thought he had returned to Yinming Island, a thought suddenly struck him, and his expression changed slightly.

Through the Haotian Mirror, he sensed that the destination of the void passage had been forcibly reversed by a force.

The void passage that was supposed to lead directly back to the Luo River took a detour.

Falling toward an unknown destination.

Qingfeng was initially shocked, but quickly calmed down.

He was shocked because there was no one in the world who had the power to forcibly change the trajectory of a void traveler that he could not match.

If we categorize such people according to their martial arts cultivation levels, they would probably have already surpassed the quasi-emperor level.

In Qingfeng's view, it is impossible for anyone who has already merged with the Dao to do so.

And the breeze immediately returned to calm, precisely because of this reason.

Facing such a terrifying opponent, doing anything is futile.

If the other party wanted to kill him, they wouldn't need to go through all this trouble.

Qingfeng couldn't help but wonder, wasn't it said that the Xuanhuang Great World hadn't seen a Great Emperor-level expert for over ten thousand years since the Hongyu Great Emperor?

Who is this being whose strength is suspected to be that of an emperor?

Qingfeng stopped thinking about it and simply waited quietly for the result.

When he reappeared, the scene before him was completely different.

A scene beyond the comprehension of reality.

There is no sky, no earth here.

There is no direction, no up or down, no light or darkness.

It's like a void, yet it truly exists.

The breeze felt no gravity; it seemed that nothing existed here except space and time.

Qingfeng tried his best to steady himself and remain calm.

Looking around, I didn't see anyone.

I had no choice but to ask:

"May I ask why you have summoned me here, senior?"

After he finished speaking, Qingfeng was surprised to find that his voice could not be heard.

There is simply no medium for transmitting sound here.

But the powerful being in the shadows seemed to have heard his words and finally reacted.

An extremely cold and hard voice resounded directly in his heart.

"You are not a martial arts practitioner; are you following the cultivation methods of the ancient immortal era?"

Qingfeng was taken aback upon hearing this, and his heart skipped a beat.

The Immortal Ancient Era was a mythical era even for the Xuanhuang Great World.

Legend has it that during the Immortal Ancient Era, there wasn't just one Great Emperor at any given time. That era was extremely brilliant, with countless geniuses emerging out of nowhere.

Moreover, it is said that the cultivation methods of the ancient times were different from those of today.

The fact that this "person" suddenly asked this question clearly indicates that he has a relatively deep understanding of the Immortal Ancient Era.

"I do not know what methods were used for cultivation in the ancient times. The method I practice is called the Dao, which involves comprehending the Dao of Heaven and Earth and the natural world."

Qingfeng did not hide it.

It's best to be docile when facing such a powerful opponent.

Of course, if it involves the core secrets of Taoism, such as those Taoist techniques that the master has orally instructed can only be passed down through personal instruction.

The other party didn't ask any further questions, and after a moment of silence, seemed to be muttering to themselves.

"The Way of Heaven and Earth...the Way of Nature..."

Could you explain a little more?

There was a hint of politeness in that cold, hard tone.

Qingfeng was not surprised by this. The Taoist teachings were the crystallization of the great principles of heaven and earth. He believed that even if the Great Emperor were alive, he would be interested in their Taoist scriptures.

Qingfeng was not stingy; after thinking for a moment, he chose a passage from a Taoist scripture and began to recite it.

"There is something undifferentiated and complete, which existed before heaven and earth. Silent and still, it stands alone and unchanging. It can be regarded as the mother of all things."

"Because its name is unknown, it is called Dao (the Way), and forcibly given the name Da (Great)."

"Greatness is called passing away, passing away is called going far away, going far away is called returning..."

"Therefore, man follows the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature..."

This is a passage from the Taoist scripture "Five Thousand Words". My master said that everyone in the world can practice it, and it is not limited to Taoist disciples.

So Qingfeng read the passage aloud without any attempt to conceal it.

After reading it, my heart was filled with a deathly stillness.

The being in the shadows seemed to have vanished, or perhaps it was deep in thought, remaining motionless.

The breeze was not in a hurry, and waited patiently.

About half an hour later, he suddenly felt that the space around him seemed to have changed slightly.

In that empty void, something slowly began to appear.

It's hard to explain.

Lonely and desolate, I remain steadfast and unchanging...

Vast and boundless nature, without beginning or end...

Qingfeng suddenly snapped out of his daze, and this time he was truly horrified.

"The Dao...this is the aura of the Great Dao..."
