When light appeared in front of Zhou Qing's eyes again, he had come to a space that was half black and half white, with the two colors clearly distinguished.

He is in the white area.

There are no traces of human activity here. There is white light above your head and under your feet.

And in the white space, there are sixteen light balls of different colors floating quietly in every corner.

Zhou Qing looked at the black space on the other side, where there were similar light balls, nine in total.

He came to the boundary between the black and white space and reached out to touch it, but was blocked by an invisible membrane.

At the same time, information from somewhere unknown was transmitted into his mind, telling him some information.

The black space contains the heavenly sword techniques. He chose to learn sword techniques from the Tianwu school, so he cannot go there.

The sixteen balls of light in the white space are exactly all the heavenly-level sword techniques inherited in Xuandu Temple. Six of them are the six superior heavenly martial arts that Luo Liuli mentioned.

Behind the sword gate of Chengdao Hall is the inheritance of swordsmanship.

Zhou Qing was no longer paying attention to the situation in the black space, but walked towards the ball of light closest to him, and a wisp of mental power touched it.

"boom!"

Zhou Qing's eyes went dark, and then a bolt of thunder exploded, splitting the darkness. It was so violent that it seemed to be able to destroy everything, including himself, and enveloped him in a state of destruction.

After a while, Zhou Qing came back to his senses and a sense of enlightenment arose in his heart.

"Lower level Heavenly Martial Arts, Thunderfall Divine Sword..."

By touching these inheritance light balls with mental power, one can obtain some basic information about this inheritance, such as... the name. As long as one does not put the true order on them and simply touches them with mental power, one will not accept the inheritance.

At the same time, you can also feel the artistic conception of inheritance left by the founder of the inheritance or those who have practiced to perfection, know what type of inheritance this is, and see if it is suitable for you.

This kind of martial arts inheritance is incomparable to those martial arts below the heavenly level.

This Thunder Waterfall Sword is the ultimate sword of destruction, but unfortunately it is only a lower-level martial art and is not within Zhou Qing's range of choices.

He walked to the second ball of light, and as soon as his mental power came into contact with it, he felt that he had come to a world of yin and yang.

Yin creates endless things, including living beings and natural scenes, but without exception, they are all of Yin.

The same is true for masculinity, which is ever-changing.

Yin and Yang are colliding and entangled, endless changes are born in the entanglement of Yin and Yang, and then move towards destruction.

This yin and yang seems to encompass everything.

"Higher Heavenly Martial Arts, Yin-Yang Sword."

A very lofty and powerful martial art.

But Zhou Qing did not make a choice and continued to check out other inheritances.

Zhou Qing carefully comprehended all fifteen inherited artistic conceptions.

Some are like raging waves, some are like falling stars, unstoppable, and some are like the sword of God, cutting off everything...

These thoughts that spread throughout Zhou Qing's mind made him realize the horror of the perfect level of Tianwu School. It was truly like facing the might of heaven and earth head-on.

In the end, only a black ball of light remained.

It is located in the middle of the sixteen light balls, with a deep black color that seems to be able to swallow up everything in the world.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword Scripture, among the previous fifteen inheritances, this was the only inheritance that Luo Liuli did not recommend Zhou Qing to learn, and he had not yet read it.

When his mental power touched the ball of light, Zhou Qing saw a magic sword.

As if it had sensed his presence, the immortal sword trembled, and then endless black light burst out. The most extreme, fiercest, and most thorough murderous intent surged, and everything disappeared, including Zhou Qing's mental power.

Zhou Qing was forced to withdraw from the realm of artistic conception, looking at the ball of light in front of him with a complicated expression.

What a murderer.

It's not that this inheritance will actively attack the inheritor who comes here, but the artistic conception it emits unconsciously can destroy a trace of the inheritor's mental power.

Zhou Qing placed one hand on his chest, his thoughts somewhat distracted.

Just now, at the moment when he realized the artistic conception of the inheritance of the Killing Immortal Sword Sutra, his Seven Apertures Heart moved strangely, beating faster, as if he was ready for battle.

The Seven Killing Sword was created by the ancestors based on the Sword Sutra of Killing Immortals. When Zhou Qing practiced it, his Seven Apertures Heart easily suppressed the Seven Killing Intent, as calmly as a breeze, without any ripples.

But in front of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Sutra, the Seven-Aperture Heart reacted differently.

The most evil sword, the most lethal sword.

No wonder Luo Liuli said that very few true disciples would choose to practice the Immortal Sword Sutra. The murderous nature contained in this inheritance is probably difficult to resist or subdue through bone refining and marrow cleansing.

There is no doubt that powerful martial arts have "personality" and will in turn affect the martial artist himself.

Looking at the sixteen balls of light and excluding the ten lower-level martial arts, Zhou Qing fell into deep thought.

How to choose?

It is worth mentioning that he now has a Xuandu Great Merit, which was already assigned to him when he entered the sect.

One great merit can also be exchanged for a heavenly martial art or a heavenly art, but it is limited to lower-level heavenly merits.

If you want to exchange for higher-level martial arts, you need at least five Xuandu great merits.

Zhou Qing has not used this great skill yet. On the one hand, he wants to wait until he has chosen the true Tianwu School to check and fill in the gaps.

On the other hand, he has not yet decided what technique to use to replace this great skill.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Qing finally turned his gaze to the black light ball in front of him.

As expected, he was more interested in the Immortal-Slaying Sword Manual.

Among the six upper-level sword techniques, excluding the two that are not suitable for him, there is not much difference in power among the other four.

In this case, why not choose a sword tradition that interests him and can arouse the reaction of the Seven Apertures? As for Luo Liuli's suggestion...

Listen with an open mind, but don't accept it.

After making the decision, Zhou Qing took out the true order and placed it on the Killing Immortal Sword Sutra, then extended a wisp of mental power and touched the black light ball.

The magic sword that I just saw appeared again.

At the same time, black light, endless black light rushed towards Zhou Qing and entered his body.

Zhou Qing had closed his eyes at some point, but at this moment he frowned slightly, as if feeling a little uncomfortable.

An inexplicable feeling of irritation rose in his heart, and a little anger began to emerge, and then further evolved into murderous intent, making his killing intent burn.

I really want to chop someone down...

The seven murderous intentions that had once gathered seemed to have found a leader and became unusually active.

Looking at Zhou Qing's face again, I felt inexplicably cold.

“Swish!”

A flash of sword light flashed past, and then the immortal sword in front of Zhou Qing came directly across the sky and stabbed into his forehead! Zhou Qing opened his eyes suddenly, with a little black light in his eyes, cold and ruthless.

“Boom!”

At this moment, the sound of a heartbeat broke out, and colorful rays of light flowed in Zhou Qing's body, magnificent and holy. All the negative forces accumulated in Zhou Qing's body melted away like snow meeting the sun.

The dark light in Zhou Qing's eyes disappeared, and everything returned to normal.

"call……"

While letting out a sigh, Zhou Qing shook his head. It was indeed a killing sword, a vicious sword.

Even when accepting the inheritance, one will be eroded. It is foreseeable what situation one will face when one starts practicing and attains deeper attainments.

Of course, basically no one can withstand this level of erosion when accepting inheritance. As long as a certain amount of time is given, the murderous nature can be resolved.

If Zhou Qing didn't have the Seven Aperture Heart, he would have been able to resolve the situation, but it's not as efficient and direct as the Seven Aperture Heart.

As Zhou Qingming was concentrating on his thoughts, a magical sword appeared in the black space in his mind.

The inheritance of this kind of martial arts is not narrated to you orally in words, but just like the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Seal passed on to him by Lu Qingmo, there will be a true meaning of inheritance.

In future practice, you only need to comprehend the true meaning of this inheritance to understand how to practice and the direction to move forward.

The true meaning of this inheritance is equivalent to the guidance left to you by a predecessor, allowing you to observe and learn at any time, and perceive the true meaning of this martial art in the most direct way, which is countless times better than the text in the secret book.

At the same time, this method of inheritance is also highly confidential and will never be leaked.

Whether it is active leakage or passive leakage, it is impossible.

Mantras and moves?

I don’t know either.

Another point is that after Zhou Qing became the true disciple of Xuan Du, methods like soul searching no longer had any effect on him.

The name recorded in the Golden Book and the inheritance of the true meaning of Tianwu School are both ways of protecting his soul.

Especially the former, the Xuandu Golden Book's defense against soul search is first-class in the world.

Pressing his head, Zhou Qing felt his head was a little swollen, as if it was filled with knowledge.

After taking another look at the white space, Zhou Qing turned around and left.

Once the inheritance has been selected, there is no point in looking at it again. There is no chance for a second choice.

After Zhou Qing walked out of Jianmen, he found that Luo Liuli was actually playing chess with the ancient palace master.

Seeing him come out, Luo Liuli stood up with a wave of her sleeves.

"We're leaving first."

Palace Master Gu looked at Luo Liuli and said, "How about after the rain?"

Luo Liuli shook her head, "No, there are other things to do."

"Well, then, Dan Jun, go by yourself. I don't believe it..."

Palace Master Gu lowered his head again, focusing all his energy on the chessboard, looking as if he was concentrating on the fight.

He must be a chess master.

Zhou Qing took a look before leaving. Hey, how come Luo Liuli is about to win?

The crane flew into the sky, and Luo Liuli asked:

"Which sword technique did you choose?"

Zhou Qing smiled embarrassedly and said:

"Sword Scripture of the Immortal Slayer."

“…”

"You should have experienced the state of mind of killing immortals. Since you have made such a choice, you must have your own reasons. I won't say more."

Luo Liuli warned: "But when practicing this sword technique, remember not to be greedy and reckless, and don't go astray."

"But choosing this sword technique is also a good thing. Swordsmen are weapons of killing. To some extent, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Scripture can be regarded as the strongest sword technique in Xuandu Temple."

"The Immortal-Slaying Sword Sutra is profound and extensive. You must practice diligently in the future and strive to enter the door as soon as possible."

Zhou Qing nodded, "I am also looking forward to the day when I can complete it."

This is not the martial arts seed dropped by Brother Shu. As long as the seed is mature, you can learn martial arts immediately after eating the fruit.

To inherit the true meaning, one needs to practice hard to learn it.

At this time, Zhou Qing felt that there was something wrong with the sun above his head. Compared with when he first arrived at Chengdao Peak, it seemed to have shifted a lot? "How long have I been in Jianmen?"

"Three hours."

Zhou Qing was stunned. He clearly felt it was only a short moment.

Luo Liuli explained, "When you comprehend the artistic conception of Tianwuxue, you will be immersed in it, and your judgment of time will be affected."

Zhou Qing sighed inwardly, it was truly magical.

After a while, the two arrived in front of a majestic peak where a mountain and a lake were adjacent to each other.

"Clouds" of various colors kept floating in and out of this majestic peak. Upon closer inspection, they were not clouds but cranes with different feather colors.

This is Xianhe Peak. Zhou Qing is now a true disciple and can own his own "private jet".

Once you get his crane, you won’t have to keep rubbing against Luo Liuli’s.

The top of Xianhe Peak was very flat, as if it had been cut off by a sword. After they landed, a disciple immediately came up to greet them, bowed, and asked about their purpose of visit.

"I am Zhou Qing, the new disciple of the temple, and I have come to receive a spiritual crane."

"It's Brother Zhou, please follow me."

The disciple stood in awe and led the way.

When a non-true disciple meets a true disciple, he must call the true disciple "senior brother" no matter how early you joined the sect or how old you are, or how young the other person is.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

Among true disciples, seniority is determined by the rank of their true disciples.

Those who rank ahead of you are your seniors, and those who rank ahead of you are your juniors.

The current first true disciple Dugu is the eldest senior brother of all Xuandu disciples.

The disciple from Xianhe Peak took Zhou Qing and the other person to see an elder. Originally, the elder could have handled the matter, but because Luo Liuli came along, he had to notify the master of Xianhe Peak.

The master of Xianhe Peak is a rough man with a beard and unkempt appearance.

This fully fits Zhou Qing's impression of people who raise and cultivate spiritual beasts.

"For something like this, I'm actually bothering you, Master Dan, to come here in person."

The leader of Xianhe Peak had a bright smile, and seemed to have a good relationship with Luo Liuli.

Luo Liuli said: "Zhou Qing has been in Xuandu Temple for a short time and is not familiar with some places. It will be more convenient for me to take him with me."

The head of Xianhe Peak looked at Zhou Qing and said with a smile:

"Providing spiritual cranes for true disciples is the responsibility of the Crane Peak. According to the rules, every true disciple can receive a fourth-level spiritual crane."

Zhou Qing nodded, indicating that he understood.

If a fourth-level spiritual crane is sent out at once, all those casual cultivators who are working so hard to practice outside will know about this, and their eyes will be so envious that they will burst with bloodshot.

However, due to its racial reasons, the combat capability of this crane is not very strong, and its talents are basically all in flying.

Spirit beasts can also practice and become stronger, and they also have realms, otherwise they cannot carry people. However, they are beasts, so the way they follow is naturally based on physical body, qi and blood.

The fourth-level spirit beast corresponds to the Bone Refining Realm. Because it is a beast, it is difficult for it to consciously and specifically temper a certain part of the body like humans, so the strength is divided into the first and second levels.

In fact, the same is true for wild beasts. They are all comparable to and correspond to a certain realm of martial arts.

Compared with wild beasts, spirit beasts are much more spiritual and can be tamed. After being trained with special methods, the savage and cruel part of their nature can be eliminated, making them good partners for practitioners.

"If a crane dies accidentally in the future, you can come back to claim it again. However, if you intentionally kill a crane or use it to test drugs, this benefit will be permanently cancelled!"

It's not that animals are supreme in Xuandu Temple, or that human life is less valuable than animal life. It's just that these are spiritual beasts that have been carefully cultivated by the sect, and they are a benefit for the disciples. It would be inappropriate for you to mess around with them.

If you want to use beasts to test drugs, then there are naturally special beasts for testing drugs.

Zhou Qing said: "Please rest assured, Peak Master, I will treat Linghe as a partner."

Abusing one's own mount, that's something only a perverted person would do.

The head of Xianhe Peak nodded, then gave instructions to the elder next to him.

"Elder Gong, take Zhou Qing to the fourth-level A zone and select a peak fourth-level spiritual crane."

"Level 4 peak?"

Elder Gong asked in a confirming manner, and when the head of Xianhe Peak nodded, he did not ask any more questions and left directly with Zhou Qing.

Then the head of Xianhe Peak looked at Luo Liuli and asked with a smile: "Are you satisfied with this result, Dan Jun?"

Luo Liuli answered seriously:

"I just came here with Zhou Qing, I don't have any other intentions."

"I understand." The master of Xianhe Peak smiled even more deeply.

"I wonder if there is any progress on the spiritual pill that I talked to Dan Jun about last time?"

"That kind of spiritual pill..."

The two talked about other things.

What is the most important thing when cultivating spiritual beasts?

It's hard to say.

But elixirs are definitely something that cannot be avoided.

The master of Xianhe Peak is an expert in spiritual beasts, but he is not an expert in alchemy.

He and Luo Liuli do have a good relationship.

Because the master of Xianhe Peak often asks this Dan Jun for help.

And according to the rules of Xuandu Temple, every true disciple can receive a fourth-level spiritual crane, but can the initial fourth level and the fourth-level peak be the same?

There is a lot of room for maneuver here.

Generally, a newly promoted true disciple can only obtain a spiritual crane that has just entered the fourth level, and needs to be trained slowly afterwards. But now Luo Liuli came with Zhou Qing, so the master of the Crane Peak very generously gave Zhou Qing a top-of-the-line "private jet".

The peak of the fourth level means that it is possible to break through to the fifth level at any time.

To Zhou Qing, that was truly luxurious.

Walking on Xianhe Peak with Elder Gong, Zhou Qing saw many disciples taking care of many spiritual beasts.

These spiritual beasts are not limited to the crane clan, but also include other spiritual birds.

"Although our place is called Xianhe Peak, it is actually not only for breeding Xianhe, but also for breeding avian spirit beasts."

Elder Gong was very kind to Zhou Qing and explained some things to him.

There are many peaks in Xuandu Temple where spiritual beasts are cultivated. There are special places to cultivate those that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water.

"But because the crane is so symbolic, it is called this name."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "This name sounds better than Lingqin Peak."

"Haha." Elder Gong also laughed.

“Everyone feels that way.”

"Each level of spiritual beast is divided into four cultivation areas: A, B, C, and D. The same is true for other spiritual beast peaks."

"The A-zone is where the spirit beasts with the best bloodlines and the highest potential live. In the past, new true disciples could only choose spirit beasts from the B-zone. You are lucky this time."

Zhou Qing immediately said very tactfully: "I would also like to thank Peak Master and Elder Gong for their care."

"It was the Peak Master's intention. I was just following his orders."

Soon we arrived at the Jiazi area, where there are picturesque scenery with clear water and green mountains.

If it were in Zhou Qing’s previous life, it would have been a first-class tourist attraction, but here it is just a place where birds live.

Elder Gong pointed out all the top-level fourth-order cranes to Zhou Qing and asked him to choose.

But before Zhou Qing could start choosing, a snow-white crane with no other colors, which looked extremely beautiful and had lively eyes, flew in front of him and rubbed his head against him.

Coincidentally, it is also one of the fourth-level peak spiritual cranes mentioned by Elder Gong.

Zhou Qing was stunned, then started laughing.

"Looks like I don't need to choose. This little guy and I are destined to be together, so I'll take it."

"This little fellow."

Elder Gong's eyes were filled with surprise; he had not expected such a thing to happen.

"Its name is Xiao Qi, and it is the No. 7 Spirit Crane. It is the youngest here. I didn't expect it to choose you."

"It seems like it's fate."

Although he said so, Elder Gong knew that it must be because there was something about Zhou Qing that attracted Xiao Qi.

But he didn't want to interfere. Xiao Qi was a fourth-level spiritual crane, which was in accordance with the rules.

"Xiao Qi?"

Zhou Qing touched Xiao Qi's head and felt a little happy.

Although he is the youngest, he is already at the peak of the fourth level, which means he has great potential.

It is enough to get such a spiritual crane this time.

Zhou Qing took out the spirit bird token, and Elder Gong bound Xiao Qi to it using special means.

Then Zhou Qing could vaguely sense some of Xiao Qi's emotions. This was the spirit beast order that was completely under his control.

Moreover, this token is also a space magic weapon, equivalent to a spirit beast bag, which can hold Xiao Qi, which is very convenient.

Then Elder Gong gave Zhou Qing another space bag and said, "It contains some food for Xiao Qi. You can also feed it other things. Except for some poisonous substances, there is nothing to worry about."

Zhou Qing thanked him and took it. On the way back, Elder Gong told him some knowledge about raising spirit beasts, which gave Zhou Qing a refreshing feeling.

Not long after, Zhou Qing and his companion left Xianhe Peak and headed towards Shuiyue Peak.

On the way, Luo Liuli reminded him: "If you want to refine the Xuandu Zhendan tonight, you must be prepared. This elixir is powerful and it will take a long time to refine it."

"Two or three days is always necessary."

Zhou Qing nodded. In this case, he should indeed prepare.

Especially now he has to chop trees every day, and he absolutely cannot miss it because of his retreat. If he doesn't use today's physical strength, it will not be retained until tomorrow and will be directly covered up.

You have to plan your time well.

"I plan to go to Yunjiang first, and then refine the Xuandu Zhendan after I come back."

"Yunjiang?" Luo Liuli nodded.

"It's not far from Xuandu Temple. You are now a true disciple and can enter and exit the mountain gate at will."

Zhou Qing went to Yunjiang to find Ao Xuanwei.

When they parted in Heiyun Town, the two had said that when Zhou Qing was promoted to the true disciple and the true disciple ceremony was held, she would be notified and she would definitely attend.

This was what Zhou Qing had promised her, and he had not forgotten it and would not go back on his word.

Although I don’t know when Qi Yunyuan and the others will come back, since it takes two or three days to refine the Xuandu Zhendan, it’s better to notify Ao Xuanwei in advance.

It would take her some time to get to Xuandu Temple.

When we arrived at Shuiyue Peak, we saw Lu Yuanyuan.

She learned the news that Zhou Qing was promoted to the true disciple, and came specially to congratulate him.

While Zhou Qing was traveling around the various peaks, the news had already spread throughout Xuandu Temple, and even the location of his true peak had been known to some people.

A large number of inner disciples kept sighing that after they parted at the Ten Thousand Demons Tower, this strange yet familiar fellow disciple had now soared to heaven and was no longer someone they could contact.

But for more disciples, Zhou Qing’s life is more like a legend, and his deeds are more like a myth.

Because the information that Zhou Qing had been practicing for less than a year had also spread.

Many people were stunned after hearing the news. They confirmed it again and again before finally believing it. But the thought that came to their mind was...

Are you a human? (End of this chapter)
