Time is unknown in the mountains, and there is no time for practicing.

The young Taoist only felt that he had been practicing and learning skills every day. Unconsciously, it seemed that several years had passed, or even more than ten years. However, the daily consumption of rice, flour, grain and oil seemed to be just the same as usual, with no change. The flow of time seemed to become extremely slow, and he lost his perception of time.

Sometimes, the young Taoist felt that he was like the woodcutter in the story who watched others play chess and saw the world change dramatically as a result.

But the people around me haven't changed either.

"Do you understand the node of Dragon's Roar, Wuhuo?"

"What is the meaning of these two dragon roars?"

Qi Wuhuo was thinking when a gentle voice brought him back to consciousness. The young Taoist replied, "Well, Dragon Roar itself is similar to the Taoist Cloud Seal. It is a power method that can pry open the energy of heaven and earth. Although most of them require blood to stimulate, compared with Cloud Seal, it is faster to activate and has a direct effect. It works well on many magical spells."

"These two dragon chants are from the sixth section of Chapter 37 of the Calling the Wind."

"When combined, they can summon a tornado."

"If combined with the Thunder Cloud Seal and Phoenix Script, it can perform the combined magical power [Thunder Cloud Storm] with minimal consumption, which is enough to cover an area of ​​more than 50 miles with irregular attacks. And if these are combined with the Taoist Dajiao Altar, even an innate Qi like me can complete it, and it can serve as a prerequisite magical power for [Five Thunders]."

"I borrow the power of heaven and earth to strengthen my momentum and my magical powers."

"Words are the shortest spell."

"The Xuantan, the seals, the spells, and the magical powers can bring out the Qi in one's body with the greatest efficiency."

"I will not defeat the enemy with my own strength."

"Instead, I will use my power to pry the power of heaven and earth, like spinning a wheel, and strike it ten times or a hundred times stronger."

Then the Holy Mother Taiyuan showed a slight look of admiration and sighed, and nodded, saying: "Your understanding is extraordinary."

"It is truly admirable that one could think of combining these words together to perform a single act."

"No wonder it only took thirteen years..."

The young Taoist raised his eyes, the wooden hairpin emitting flowing light, trying to break through some kind of blockade, and asked in confusion: "Hmm?"

"Sister Taiyuan, what did you say?"

The Holy Mother Taiyuan couldn't bear to lie, but she still said gently, "One and a half days."

"It only took you a day and a half to learn the dragon pattern, the phoenix seal, and thirty-seven ancient characters, plus seven hundred and sixty-eight types of scattered and lost characters. Although your comprehension is great, your tenacity and perseverance are indeed outstanding."

The young Taoist should have been puzzled by the amount of knowledge, but he suppressed his doubts and just said:

"Senior Taiyuan..."

The Holy Mother Taiyuan said, "Just call me Senior Sister."

It is only natural for Tai Shang's disciples to call Tai Yuan Sheng Mu Senior Sister in this place.

The young Taoist asked doubtfully:

"Senior Sister Taiyuan, I want to ask...are these really what Xiantian Yiqi should learn?"

You also need to use your magical powers to simulate the dragon's roar to cast spells.

You need to master all types of words in the world that can leverage the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth.

The beautiful woman said gently, "Yes."

"We all went through this when we were at your stage. If not, how could I teach you?"

"In fact, what the eldest brother did back then was even more impressive than you. Whether it was his fist and kick skills or his various cultivation techniques, he was the strongest. His martial arts and weapons were able to match the teacher who was at a lower level. Even among his peers, he was unmatched."

"The only two paths where I lost to my other two brothers were alchemy and differentiation."

"Those three brothers are equally matched in other arts."

"And their foundation is already strong. Above them, there are still the Four Imperial Guardians."

"Only the three brothers working together can check and balance one of the Four Imperial Guardians for a period of time, but it is just a check and balance."

"When the Four Imperials were at the same level, their foundations were so profound and their blessings were so strong that we cannot compare to them. Wuhuo, do you know that? The Four Imperials just wanted to be the Dao Ancestor but failed, so they fell into the realm of Yu. For the meaning of [Yu Six Realms], the path they took is not the same as the path passed down by the Dao Ancestor."

"As for the great emperors and Dao Lords, if they are not the so-called 'great emperors' born from the heavens, then their cultivation at the same level will only be stronger than what you are doing now, and will not be the slightest bit weaker; before they are born, they will be nourished by many spiritual treasures, and once they are born, they will take the fruits of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, drink the purest water of the Nine Elements, and have the company of the gods of heaven and earth to play with and grow up together."

"The foundation of subtle influence is far greater than that of ordinary people."

"As for the Jade Emperor, he has experienced many reincarnations and accumulated knowledge and wisdom that is far beyond what you and I can comprehend."

"The rest include descendants of the dragon clan, the phoenixes that were transformed, the disciples of the Four Emperors, and many star monarchs. The descendants of the emperors all receive similar instruction. For example, teachers force us to practice. Although the lineage of Shangqing Da Daojun is scattered, its library is also inclusive of everything."

"Whether to learn or not is up to the disciple's own choice."

“Although the Great Dao Lord is lax, most of the Shangqing disciples still go there frequently to seek guidance from the Qingyang Miaodao Lord.”

"After all, among practitioners, there is no difference between knowledge and secrets and supernatural powers themselves."

As descendants and disciples of the Emperors and True Lords, they will naturally practice and understand these things.

As for the innate creatures, they have personally experienced a lot of history and naturally know more.

Therefore, when the Taoist Qingyu saw that this young man was completely ignorant of such knowledge, and participated in a catastrophe presided over by the Exorcism Institute in such a state, he became extremely angry. In his eyes, this was no different from throwing his disciple onto the battlefield without even being able to walk.

This is arrogance.

It is also murder.

If the Grand Master was here, Holy Mother Taiyuan felt that given her teacher's personality, he would probably get furious and attack her.

This is really filling in the foundation.

It’s just that this foundation is directly aimed at the level of the Emperor.

This is true for all the twelve saints, but only Tianpeng has reached the realm of the Great Emperor. It is clear that the difficulties of the realm of the Great Emperor cannot be achieved by having a deep foundation and roots. In the eyes of the Yuqing lineage, the emperors of all the innate creatures are merely emperors of the realm of life, without any Taoism. They are powerful but without Taoism.

The young Taoist stood up, carrying the bronze stick on his back.

Several days had passed.

But he always felt that the stick was so heavy that he had to use all his strength to resist it.

He stretched out his foot and stomped on the ground.

A footprint about three inches deep was left on the ground.

The young Taoist felt a little regretful. He always felt that although he had clearly controlled the strength, he still stepped so deep, as if he could not control the weight of the bronze stick behind him at all. He moved forward with the stick on his back with difficulty. The next step was to practice strength. During this period of time, the Taoist Qingyu forbad him to practice Qi.

In other words, he is not allowed to practice Qi intentionally.

“When a person breathes, he doesn’t need to consciously control every muscle. When a child runs, he doesn’t need to consciously control every muscle.”

“When you eat, you don’t need to intentionally control your body.”

"Why do you need to control your Qi training?"

"That means you still think Chi is something foreign."

“To circulate Qi intentionally is inferior. Only when you circulate Qi naturally in the state of inaction is superior. In this way, you don’t need to refine Qi. You can refine Qi all the time when you walk, sit or lie down. The great way is inaction. In this way, even if one day you fall into trouble after a tribulation and your soul faints, your body will still refine Qi naturally.”

"Refining Qi can break through obstacles, heal injuries, and awaken your primordial spirit, making you immune to all evil."

"That is, one Qi, all things."

The young Taoist spent "several days" of time, and his soul was extremely tired, so he fainted. Only then did he unconsciously circulate Qi instinctively, and only after that did he enter the door. At that time, the young man seemed to have forgotten everything. Taiyuan Holy Mother and Hou Tuhuangdi saw that the middle-aged Taoist, who didn't care about the young Taoist's fainting, just at that time, leaned forward in front of the young Taoist, gently pressed his fingers on the young man's brow and heart, and recited the Taoist Canon with a calm and warm voice.

Let me say: Learning increases day by day. The way decreases day by day. Decreasing and decreasing, until you reach inaction. Inaction is not action.

Reduce again and again to break down the acquired obsessions and obstacles.

The profoundness of the great way lies in [reduction], which allows one to approach the innate state of inaction and action.

After that day, the young Taoist mastered the ability to refine Qi without the need for divine control. It had become an instinct. Every move he made was a divine power. Walking, sitting, and lying were all part of cultivation. Although he was an acquired creature and lived in the mortal world, he was able to catch up with the so-called innate creatures based on his realm.

Qi Wuhuo returned to his yard, exhaled, and his vague perception of time just now dissipated.

He shook hands, sat down in the house, and picked up a pen to complete the content of the magical power he was going to teach the many spiritual beings in the mountains. However, when he was talking about a part, the Beidi Mirror suddenly lit up slightly. The young Taoist was surprised. He thought it was Yunqin, and said to himself: "Speaking of which, Yunqin hasn't contacted for a long time..."

"Hmm? A long time..."

The young Taoist frowned slightly, feeling that something was unusual.

However, I was unable to detect this subtle abnormality.

It just felt like it had only been a few days since the last time I chatted with Yunqin, but it also seemed like it had been a very, very long time.

Qi Wuhuo did not cast any spell, but with a thought, the Beidi Mirror naturally floated in the air and hung in the air. Then, when the young man picked up the pen to write his magical powers, the mirror was naturally stained with a layer of flowing light, and then the words on it directly dispersed and turned into the appearance of the young King Qin.

It was no longer in the mirror, but with the method of projecting light and developing images, it turned into a real appearance like flowing starlight next to the young Taoist. All this time, Qi Wuhuo was still writing with a pen in his hand, carrying the ancient bronze stick on his back, sitting on a chair made of almost rotten wood, writing as usual, and everything was done naturally.

"Um?"

"King Qin..."

The King of Qin barely managed to complete the spell that the young Taoist had recorded in the message.

After many attempts, he completed it with the help of an ancient mirror. Before he saw Qi Wuhuo in the mirror, Qi Wuhuo had already realized that the messenger was the King of Qin. The pen in his hand paused slightly, and then his own Qi flowed around his body. In an instant, he turned into the "Mr." whom the King of Qin had known before. The speed was so fast that the King of Qin had no time to react.

"Sir...it's really you!"

The King of Qin was quite excited. The young Taoist paused and asked what was happening in the outside world.

The King of Qin then recounted everything that had happened before, including the Emperor's checks and balances, including the Seventh Prince leaving the capital and heading for Jinzhou. He then curiously asked, "However, I heard recently that there have been changes in the Dao Sect. It is said that a legendary senior who had been meditating and secluded for a thousand years suddenly came down the mountain from the back of the Dao Sect, and then headed all the way to Jinzhou."

"I also heard that because of Brother Seven's incident, the demon tribes at the border are also ready to make a move."

"The tiger tribe, which had become weaker due to the loss of the Great Sage, and its vassals, as well as the fox tribe, which had a good relationship with us, were also affected. The spies reported that it seemed that something big had happened in the demon tribe as well. It seemed that there was a legendary one who was about to become a Great Sage..."

The young Taoist paused for a moment: "Proof of the Way, Great Sage?"

"Yeah, yeah."

"This kind of thing is originally top secret, but the demon race is different from the human race. They are used to showing off their own strength. My disciple was promoted to the first-rank Qin King a few days ago, so many files of the human race are now open to me. I naturally know about this matter, but most people think he is bluffing."

"After all, although he is also a genius, he was already the number one demon under the Great Sage ten thousand years ago."

"After ten thousand years of cultivation, I am still just one step away."

"An old demon king who has not reached the Great Sage realm for ten thousand years suddenly wants to say that he has reached the Great Sage realm."

"And they want to invite all the heroes to come and pay their respects. How can this not be strange?"

The young Taoist muttered to himself:

“…putting on armor, becoming a saint, nurturing a saintly fetus, and being called a great saint.”

"Hmm? What did you say, sir?"

"nothing."

Qi Wuhuo was silent, and said: "The First-Rank King Qin can borrow many ancient books of the human race."

"King Qin, can you help me collect all the records and books about this 'Great Sage'?" King Qin was stunned for a moment, then said, "Of course no problem. Your business is my business, but there are a lot of books, so I may need some time."

"No problem."

"Also, do you know Mr. Su Shengyuan?"

The King of Qin was stunned, and then said happily:

"Of course I know. When I was young, I often saw him and my father discussing world affairs. He was called the world's greatest talent. But after my father got into trouble, Mr. Su was also dismissed. After that, it was said that he traveled around the world and no one knew where he was. Sir, do you know where Mr. Su is now?"

Qi Wuhuo nodded. He knew Mr. Su's desire, so he offered a position and hoped that the King of Qin would write a letter to invite Mr. Su to come out of retirement. He also said that he could not force him and whether he would come out of retirement depended on Su Shengyuan's own wishes. The King of Qin agreed to all of his requests.

Because the King of Qin cultivated the destiny of humanity, he could not use this Taoist method for a long time.

So this communication ended quickly. Qi Wuhuo lowered his eyes, picked up the pen and unconsciously wrote words on the book, titled [Nourishing the Holy Fetus]. Picking up the pen, looking at these three big words, a little absurdity instinctively emerged in his mind for a moment. The great demon king of the demon clan broke through the realm by causing disasters and putting on armor to become a saint, but he did not hide it at all, and was complacent, inviting all the heroes to witness it.

It means not caring at all, feeling that no one cares about the dead person.

Yes, if he were a brave and strong emperor, he would definitely not do this.

Qi Wuhuo closed his eyes and became more and more eager to go to Jinzhou. He naturally didn't think that he could defeat this demon saint now, but he at least had to see who he was and who his enemy was. He put down his pen, looked at the many magical powers he had written down, and then stood up, planning to go to Helian Mountain.

We had agreed beforehand to start preaching.

“So much time” has passed, I can’t delay it any longer.

It's strange, why didn't this thought come to my mind before.

It's like I forgot to leave here...

It was clear that the trip to Jinzhou was imminent, and he had clearly promised Ao Wulie that he would return the magic weapon to his sister.

Why do I feel like I am caught in a strange atmosphere, and apart from practicing, it is difficult to have any other thoughts?

Qi Wuhuo shook his head and stood up to go out. But after walking a few steps, he saw the Taoist in white standing under the plum tree, with his hands behind his back, spotless and with calm eyes. He asked calmly, "Where are you going?"

The young Taoist replied, "I will go to Helian Mountain to keep my appointment, open the furnace to make elixirs for my friends in the mountain, and then explain the Taoism."

"This is why I came back."

"After finishing these things, it's time to go to Jinzhou."

Holy Mother Taiyuan paused her smile and looked at the young man with surprise in her eyes.

The young man was subtly influenced by the Tao and needed to learn many methods before he would think of leaving this place. But at this moment, it seemed that he broke this interference with his Tao heart.

Apart from Senior Brother Tianpeng, he was the first one who took the initiative to go down the mountain under the personal instruction of the teacher. With such a strong heart of Taoism, even the Taoist Ancestor, with power of the same realm, could only influence him but not deceive him.

Mother Taiyuan looked at her teacher.

Taoist Qingyu raised his eyes and said coldly: "Want to go down the mountain?"

"yes."

Taoist Qingyu shook his sleeves and walked in front of the young Taoist. He stood there calmly, as if the heaven and earth had frozen and collapsed, as if the Taoist's not-so-broad shoulders directly covered the sky, giving him an incomparable terrifying oppression and power. He said lightly: "Use everything you have learned."

"Better than me."

“You can go down the mountain.”
