Chapter 56: The Inheritance of the Void
After watching the six monsters leave, the drunk Taoist said, "Let's bury the old beggar's body first. Although we ascetics don't care about these things, it's not good to leave it outside to be eaten by wild beasts."
Zhou An nodded, and the two of them flew to the half-cut Tiandao Peak. The system sent a message that if you sign in at Tiandao Peak, you will be rewarded with the top-grade spiritual treasure Tianfeng Seal.
The burial was simple. Zhou An clapped his hands and made a big hole next to it, then buried the beggar's body. Originally, Zhou An wanted to erect a tombstone.
The drunk Taoist stopped him and said, "The old beggar is not really dead, so there is no need to erect a monument. Zhou Nan, I will now teach you the method of integrating body and sword, but this method is very demanding. You need to first be able to master the flying sword, then put the sword into your body, and finally try to merge with the flying sword and unleash its true power.
Your Galaxy Twin Swords are swords for lovers, and one person cannot control two flying swords at the same time, so you can try to find a Taoist partner to practice together. When you can both unite your body and sword, you can then practice combining the two swords. Once you succeed, unless a god or a fairy treasure of the same level appears, it will be difficult to stop you.
But you must remember, although two swords together are powerful, they are also extremely dangerous. Only if you are fearless and have a mutual understanding of each other, can you achieve the power of two swords together. If there is the slightest mistake, both of you will be destroyed.
You don’t need to think too much about these now, just do the things at the front first.
The old Taoist will first teach you the method of combining body and sword. You should remember it first, and then find a place to practice in seclusion and learn the Tiandao Sect's skills. You must not participate in this battle between good and evil. The inheritance of a sect is very important. If it weren't for the arrival of the heavenly calamity, there would be no time, and the Divine Beggar would not have let you accept the inheritance in such a hurry. "
"Junior understands." Zhou An nodded. The inheritance of the Tiandao Sect was indeed too sudden and beyond his expectations. As for a Taoist partner, it was not easy for him to find one.
Then the Drunken Taoist taught him the method of combining body and sword and demonstrated it to him personally several times. Only after Zhou An understood it did he leave for Dongwangzhuang.
Zhou An returned to the palace. The queen was still handling state affairs in the main hall, Hua Wu Yue was busy rebuilding the Baihua Palace, and Zi Yan, the two daughters, and Zhou Lingsha were also in seclusion to break through the innate realm.
He ordered his men to move out all the things in Changchun Palace next to Qianyang Palace, and then razed Changchun Palace to the ground. After clearing out a large area, he released the Kongling Immortal Palace.
The palace maids and the purple-robed guards were amazed to see the emperor create such a magical scene.
After the location of the Immortal Palace was selected, he said to the Purple Guard: "After the Queen has dealt with state affairs, let him come here to see me."
All the purple-clad guards around him saluted and responded.
Zhou An walked in and just as he reached the main hall, Qin Yu, Shu Yao, Xing Yan, and Qi Hui immediately appeared, bowed, and called out, "Greetings, Master."
Zhou An sat down and asked, "Does the Kongling Immortal Mansion have any inherited skills?"
Shuyao replied, "The Kongling Immortal Mansion originally had the Kongling Heavenly Book. Six hundred years ago, when the Kongling Fairy was overcoming the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, she was ambushed by her mortal enemy and something went wrong during the Heart Demon Tribulations. The master disintegrated and rebuilt the book before he became a demon, causing the Kongling Heavenly Book to be lost. However, there are many techniques that the master had collected before.
The master told us that there will be a new master in six hundred years, and asked us to ask you to find the master's reincarnation and lead her back to the Empty Spirit Immortal Palace."
Xing Yan continued, "Master, the back hall here stores the treasures collected by the previous master. Most of them are spiritual treasures, and there are three fairy treasures. They are the previous master's protective fairy treasures, a set of ethereal fairy clothes, a jade fairy bracelet, and an ethereal black ice flying sword."
"Well, did Fairy Kong Ling tell us how to find her legacy?" Zhou An asked.
"If you are in the same city, the ethereal jade pendant will react. The closer you are, the bigger the reaction will be." Qi Hui said.
"I understand. I will go look for it. You will stay in the Immortal Mansion to guard it. This is the imperial palace. I am the emperor of the Qianyuan Empire. If there is an invasion from outside and the palace guards can't resist, you will help guard it."
Zhou An's words surprised the four women. If the human emperor inherited the ethereal fairy palace, there would be chaos in the world. Once the emperor had the power of an immortal and could live for thousands of years, the balance of the world would be broken.
Fortunately, the four girls are all fairies and don’t care too much about human affairs.
"I understand." The four girls said in unison.
Qin Yu said, "Master, since you are the emperor, if the news of your cultivation spreads, it will surely be feared by all the cultivators in the world, and you will probably be attacked by a group."
Shu Yao also said: "Moreover, once the monarchs of other countries know about this, they will definitely invite their own monks to attack you, fearing that you will annex them after you become powerful."
Zhou An snorted and laughed, "This matter has already begun. Even if I don't practice, the surrounding countries have already been ready to make a move. You don't need to worry about these things. I will take care of it."
"Yes." The four girls responded.
"I want to practice here. Is this a place conducive to practice?" Zhou An asked. After all, it is an immortal palace, it should be much better than an ordinary secret room underground.
“Master, the study is a place for cultivation. We, the four spirits of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, can assist you in your cultivation. The sound of the zither can calm your mind and prevent it from being disturbed by external evil.
Qi Hui can control the star-gathering array, absorb star energy, and help the master absorb star spirit faster. Xing Yan can lay down a formation to make it difficult for people to get close.
I know all the secret techniques in the world and can help you comprehend the techniques." Shuyao said.
Hearing the abilities of the four girls, Zhou An was amazed and immediately said, "Well, let's go to the study."
"yes."
The four girls followed Zhou An to the study. There was a circular formation in the middle of the study. When they first came here, they thought it was just a decoration. Now they know that it is for people to practice.
Under the guidance of the four women, Zhou An sat in the middle, and the four women sat in their own seats. The sound of the piano was heard, the star-gathering formation was activated, and starlight descended from above, covering Zhou An's body.
Zhou An took out the Kongling Immortal Pill. There were eight pills left in total. After eating one, he felt a gentle and cool spiritual power surging in his body.
Shu Yao immediately said: "Master, the Kongling Immortal Pill is a pill that came from the immortal world. It is different from the pills made by the cultivators here. The immortal pill is condensed from pure spiritual energy and does not need to be refined by practicing Qigong. It is best to let the body absorb it by itself.
If you actively try to absorb it, half of the energy will be wasted and destroyed by the true qi."
"Thank goodness you gave me some advice." Zhou An exclaimed in amazement. This elixir was really very different from the elixir in the mortal world. There was no need to guide it himself. This spiritual energy could nourish the whole body. He felt that all the cells in his body were cheering and boiling for it.
No wonder in many plots, eating an elixir can allow one to ascend to heaven in broad daylight. This elixir is really too mysterious.
After the spiritual energy in his body was completely absorbed by himself, his cultivation level was improved by 600 years, reaching the fifth level of the innate realm in one go.
Seeing that Zhou An had finished absorbing it, Shu Yao said, "Master, the Soul-Eternal Pill cannot be reused. Although it can still improve your health, the effect has been greatly reduced. It is too wasteful to take it."
"Okay, I understand. Do you four need it?" Zhou An asked.
Shuyao shook her head and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Master. We are all immortals, without a physical body, and cannot enjoy the elixir."
"Then can you cultivate your own body?" Zhou An asked this question because he had seen many novels about spirits cultivating real bodies.
"Based on my knowledge, I don't know if there is such a technique." Shu Yao was secretly grateful. As fairies, what they feared most was that their masters would dislike them. Now that Zhou An asked this question, it showed that Zhou An still had good intentions towards them.
Zhou An nodded and said, "You are the immortals of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I have the complete book of the Four Saints here, which was left by the immortals. You can enter the immortal path through music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
The four girls were surprised. Shuyao took the book with both hands. After reading a few pages, she showed a pleasantly surprised expression. She immediately thanked him and said excitedly, "Thank you for the gift, Master. This book can help us achieve enlightenment."
Qinyu, Xingyan and Qihui couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this. Shuyao has a very high level of comprehension. If she says it's okay, then it will definitely work.
"As long as it's useful, I'll need your support in the future. You can study here."
Zhou An said this, and continued to click to learn the heavenly-level skills Dragon Capturing Technique and the Immortal Technique Mysterious Ice Divine Light. The system automatically evolved these two secret books in his mind, allowing him to learn them directly.
As long as he signs in and obtains the skills, he can learn them directly without having to figure them out on his own.
After learning these skills, he quietly stood up and walked to the main hall without disturbing the four women's meditation.
