Qi Wuhuo looked at the badge in his hand. It was very plain, without any characteristics or magical powers like the North Pole Exorcist Five Thunder Judge. However, this time the spiritual seal was related to him. The young Taoist could vaguely feel the connection between this seal and himself, and the word "demon" also pointed to Qi Wuhuo himself.

But this direction only exists within the Arctic Exorcism House.

Using the astrological calculations, it is impossible to figure out who the devil's true identity is.

He also couldn't rely on this name to plot against Qi Wuhuo.

The Three Pure Ones do not care about worldly affairs. If disciples die or get injured on the road, it is their choice.

Great True Lord Tianyou has already left, and now he is going to put an end to this matter once and for all, but he still lets Taibai and Leishen, the two strongest generals, stay here to guard Qi Wuhuo and treat his injuries.

Taibai Xingjun took a look and smiled, "Not bad, but you are just an ordinary clerk of the North Pole Exorcism Institute. We select qualified people and then incorporate them into the system. After all, we are directly under the head of the Four Imperials. Although the scale is not as large as the Thunder Department and the Fighting Department, our status is slightly higher than theirs."

The young Taoist nodded, stroked the badge of the Exorcism Institute, and asked curiously: "What is the system of the Arctic Exorcism Institute..."

"Hmm? Are you asking how the Arctic Exorcism Institute is divided internally?"

Taibai Xingjun smiled and said, "There are nine grades, and each grade is also divided into high and low."

"It is also related to realm and merit."

"For example, you, the devil, are currently just a lowly official."

"And the guy next to you..."

He pointed at the majestic Thunder General next to him and said with a smile, "He is a fourth-rank official, and is the Inspector of the Nine Heavens of the North Pole in Zhongtian."

"For me, it's a little higher."

"He is a third-rank official in the Jade Grid of the Temple of Heaven under the command of the Northern Emperor. In the Heavenly Court, he is called the Supreme Immortal of the Nine Heavens Golden Gate, and is given the responsibility of the Investigation Envoy of the Nine Heavens of the North Pole and the Central Heaven. As for Boss Tianyou, his status in the Heavenly Court is already very high. He is a second-rank True Immortal in the Jade Grid of the Temple of Heaven, and is given the title of the Supreme Ruler of the Nine Heavens Golden Gate."

"The deputy commander of Ziwei is the True Lord of the Nine Heavens Demon Subduing in the North Pole of Zhongtian."

Taibai Xingjun stood casually holding a sword and said, "This level is called [Saint]."

"I've heard that there are great saints in the demon race. However, the qualification to be honored as a great saint by my North Pole Exorcist Academy is not based on one's cultivation level or realm, nor on one's rank in the Jade Grid of the Temple of Heaven. Instead, one must personally wield a sword and defeat a powerful demon saint alone. In other words, one must have the combat power to kill a great saint in one-on-one battle, which is equivalent to that of a Heavenly Emperor."

"Since the Northern Emperor founded our Arctic Exorcism Institute, tens of thousands of years have passed."

"Only the Three Saints."

"It's called Tianpeng, it's called Tianyou, it's called Yisheng."

"Except for Great True Lord Tian Peng, none of them have yet cultivated the means to become an emperor, but they have all killed people of this level on their own. Not just the Great Saints, in fact, if you have the means, chopping off an emperor, bringing down a heavenly master, or killing a demon-possessed Buddha can all be considered achievements."

"Brother Tianyou has killed the Great Saint. As for Yisheng, he was originally a general of the demon race, Black Evil. He also became a Saint after he fought against Tianzun to a draw."

"Hmm? Are you asking how Tian Peng Da Zhen Jun was canonized?"

Taibai Xingjun laughed: "Haha, because of the request of Jade Purity Great Celestial Lord."

"The Great True Lord Tianpeng hid his real name, killed the Great Saint, trampled the Buddhist Kingdom, and subdued the self-attached emperors. Only then was he qualified to be called a saint. Back then, the Great Lord Tianpeng, oh, his Dharma name at that time was still Pu Fu Tianzun, he went directly to the North Pole Ziwei Star to fight with the Northern Emperor. After a hundred years of fighting, he was defeated and was willing to respect the Northern Emperor as his leader and be his general."

"And the Northern Emperor reveres the Great True Lord Tianpeng as the God of Heaven."

"The two are superior and inferior in name, but in reality they are close friends."

"Among all the celestial masters below the Four Heavenly Emperors, in terms of combat power, only the Wonderful Joyful Heavenly Master Lingguan Great Emperor, or the Great Master Xuandu, can fight him. Well, although I belong to the North Pole of the Central Sky, to be fair, if the Great Master Xuandu had made preparations in advance, with his ability to change his methods and the wonders of his elixirs, the Lord of Heaven might not be his opponent."

“But if the two of us meet on a narrow road and fight hand-to-hand, then Emperor Lingguan may not be a match for us, Great True Lord Tianpeng.”

Taibai immediately sighed and said, "But Master Xuandu never goes out normally."

"Before going out, I also use the Supreme Mystical Method to predict the days to come."

"Whenever the God of Heaven wanted to spar with him, he always missed him and was avoided by him."

"But the two of them seem to have a very close relationship. We often see them drinking together. Everyone says that if the two of them are willing to join forces, and join forces with Shangqing Da Daojun's first disciple, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, even the Four Imperial Gods will find it difficult to surpass them."

"Come to think of it, we don't know whether they really have a good relationship or not."

"It is to send such a signal to the heavens."

"To shock something."

Taibai paused, and then realized that the young man in front of him was not the core warrior of the Arctic Exorcism Institute.

I subconsciously regarded him as one of my comrades-in-arms who was facing the biggest problem.

He promptly kept these secrets of the heavens to himself, laughed heartily, reached out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, changed the subject, and said jokingly: "Come on, **demon, look, Boss Tianyou killed the Great Sage, and General Heisha fought against the Heavenly Lord, and that's how they got the title of the North Pole Saints that shocked the three realms."

"You might as well kill a Buddha and save the Buddha, to make it complete."

"Can you also be a Saint of the North Pole?"

"In addition to Tianpeng, Tianyou, and Yisheng, add **Mo."

"Gathering the Four Saints of the North Pole will also let those guys know what it means to guard the four directions."

On one side, General Lei frowned and said, "Investigator!"

Taibai’s smile froze.

General Lei said slowly to the young Taoist priest beside him: "Don't be obsessed with this. In these years, how many people can be called a saint?"

“The title of the North Pole Saints means that they are neither emperors, nor heavenly saints, but they can be killed in battle.”

"It's not the realm, but the fighting power that is unparalleled."

"Those who blindly pursue fame often perish along the way."

So the former Taibai Star Lord had no choice but to laugh and said, "It was just a joke, a joke, a joke!"

"**Devil, don't take it seriously, hahahaha."

"However, your body has been depleted quite a lot... It needs to be replenished, otherwise, your ability to reach the level of a real person will be affected. This time, your foundation was impacted and damaged. A slight mistake can lead to a huge error. The reduction of your lifespan is only a symptom on the surface, but the core is that your foundation has been damaged."

Taibai Xingjun stretched out his finger and pointed at Qi Wuhuo's forehead, then pointed at his heart:

"So-called life span is nothing but life."

"Life is shortened."

"That is to say, your sex and life have been reduced. A cultivator cultivates both sex and life. Isn't the foundation of your great way destroyed?"

"The innate Qi may also have an impact."

"If you don't deal with it, there will only be one outcome: you will never be able to cultivate to the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head in your lifetime!"

Taibai looked solemn and said:

"The three flowers represent the perfection of the life spirit. If your foundation is damaged and you still want the three flowers to gather at the top, isn't that like a broken jar and wanting to fill it up? It's simply wishful thinking. It's something you can never achieve. I let you drink my wine just now, which I stole from the Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole..."

"Ahem, I meant begging. I begged for it."

The previous generation of Five Stars official, who was sent to the North Pole Exorcist Institute because he was too good at fighting, and who was also listed as an immortal, said with a righteous look on his face:

"I really asked for it, really."

"If ordinary people drink it, their life span can be extended by ten years. If cultivators drink it, their life and death can be preserved."

"But you just drank it, but your life was not restored at all. This shows that your body is already broken and even such immortal things can't make up for it."

"Do you regret it, kid?"

The young Taoist raised his hand to brush the white hair at his temples and replied, "Perhaps I will regret it when I die a hundred years later."

"Hahaha, does that mean you don't regret it now? Good boy, you are the seed of my North Pole Exorcism Institute." Taibai Xingjun drank and laughed loudly, "To be honest, your foundation is useless even if you use the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. That thing can only directly raise your realm to the level of an immortal official. You can have a free and easy life, but don't think about it in the future."

"Everything external has its own obstacles."

"Practice Taoism and cultivate yourself."

"That thing only gives you the foundation of an immortal. It is truly a horrible and lamentable good fortune, but it is an external thing, after all, it is not me. For mediocre people, it is the greatest good fortune in the world, but for us, it is the most poisonous thing in the world!"

"Anyone who stands in my way will be killed!"

"So if you want to resolve this calamity, you have to start with yourself. It sounds difficult, but it is actually simple. After all, you have gained merits before."

"Merit?"

"Yes, it is a merit recognized by the Arctic Exorcism Institute."

Taibai Xingjun nodded and said, "But this merit is not about saving people or anything like that. Killing people does not hurt you, but saving people does not hurt you, because this is just all things. Although what Ji Du said before was extremely biased, it is correct to some extent. For this sky, whether it is people, plants, or even immortals and gods, there is no difference."

"Life is the origin of all things, and death is nothing more than returning to the universe."

"It won't change a bit sooner or later."

"Even if you kill sentient beings, the Great Dao will not blame you for it; if you sacrifice yourself to save thousands of people and save countless lives, the Great Dao will not reward you in the slightest. Sentient beings say that the Great Dao is ruthless, but why should the Great Dao have feelings?"

"The so-called ruthlessness is just that under this vast sky, countless sentient beings want to gain but cannot, give up but cannot, are filled with grief and despair, and have nothing to add to it. They can only attribute it to fate, saying that the sky is speechless and the road is ruthless."

"Why would God pity you alone?"

"Even though Dao has feelings, why would he help you alone?"

"This merit is recorded in the North Pole Exorcism Court because you have maintained order. It is named after you, which means you have done good to the heaven and earth and have virtue to all living beings. Just like the hidden virtue is recorded among the gods in the underworld. You can use it to exchange for some rare items. These rare items are all the direct descendants of the major Dharma lineages. The items of merit are actually used to shut them up."

"Even if it is the North Pole Exorcism Institute, it is not appropriate to openly give away other people's bloodlines."

"There happens to be something in it that can make up for your injuries."

"Don't worry, it's not an external object."

Taibai Xingjun couldn't help but shook his head and sighed:

"It was also a coincidence for you... I have never heard of anyone who can resolve such a disaster at your level."

"The merits you have gained are just enough to exchange for the [Qi Refining Method], and there is still some left. Although your internal organs are damaged, they have contained the Qi of mountains, rivers and earth gods. Strictly speaking, your injuries should be regarded as an emperor using your body to perform a move. The emperor's level of strength is too strong, causing your internal organs and foundation to be washed away and broken."

"Although it is broken, it has contained power of this level and has changed."

"It is a disaster, but it may also be possible to turn it into a blessing."

"Hahaha, this is just the right method to practice this art. I'll look for it..." Taibai Xingjun took out his badge, and the light on it changed, with an extremely powerful aura. Then several scrolls of pictures appeared in the void. He quickly selected them, and in the end only three scrolls were left, emitting endless light.

The young Taoist looked at it and saw the name on it——

"The Code of Qi Refining for the Stars of the North Pole in the Central Sky"

It is a method of the same level as the Hunyuan Sword Canon.

But it turns out that with just the method of refining Qi, one has reached the level of [Classic].

Taibai Xingjun pointed at this object and said with a smile: "This is the method of the Zhongtian Beiji Xingjun, all of which are recorded here. Most of the descendants of Xingjun, the younger generation, at the level of [Refining Qi], practice this volume of methods. When ordinary people refine Qi, they cultivate a breath of Qi of the five elements, but this one is based on the Zhoutian stars, swallowing and exhaling the light of the stars."

"You can gain all the merits of this time with this method."

He pointed to another volume and said, "The True Scripture of the Purple Star Emperor Qi."

"This is the method created by Emperor Ziwei."

"He was transformed from innate essence and energy, and originally did not have the level of innate Qi. But later, the Emperor reversed the Great Dao and rewrote this volume. It is the direct descendant of the Four Emperors. Most of the Emperor's relatives practiced this method. They are extremely gorgeous and can draw the Qi of the stars in the sky for help; they can also have purple Qi to protect themselves. They don't need to take the initiative and can ignore most of the Qi-observing methods."

"If you choose this, what you gain this time may be a method at the level of a real person."

"I suggest you choose this one."

"There are eleven chapters among them. The two chapters, [Taiyin Refining the Body] and [Taiyang Refining the Spirit], can completely make up for your injuries."

"Using the Zhou Tian Xing Xiang to make up for yourself can help your human race's foundation be broken and then rebuilt."

"The human race is one of the four elements of the universe, but it is still weak. This will allow it to be reborn."

Then he pointed to the last volume and said, "Well... this one."

"I don't recommend you choose."

"Why?"

Taibai Xingjun sighed and said, "Because it is too expensive, and almost no one can cultivate it. The most important thing is that even if you cultivate it, it will only make you return to the original state of the human race, which is the so-called "return to nature". This volume of scriptures has been here for 17,000 years. Many people have exchanged for it, but in vain, and only wasted their hundreds of years of accumulated merits. What a waste!"

The young Taoist looked at it curiously and found that it was an ancient jade book.

There is no longer any distinction between scriptures and codes.

Just four simple words.

《Original Ancestral Qi》
