Xiao Ping'an deduced the supreme scriptures, but he did not encounter the Law-Creation Tribulation. He did not know why.
Perhaps it's because he has perfectly integrated the Five Great Secret Realms Cultivation Method, perhaps it's because it's the Dharma-ending Age, or perhaps it's because Xiao Ping'an himself has never cultivated, and no one has ever successfully cultivated it; it's currently just an empty piece of paper.
After all, the Qi Refining Technique that Xiao Ping'an has spread so far can only be cultivated up to the Saint at most.
"Qi cultivator!"
"A living god!"
"Flying and escaping!"
An elderly man with white hair held a tattered old book and silently read the legends recorded inside.
Although the old man looked very ordinary, and was just a farmer with only a dozen or so words, he regarded the book he had found by chance as a treasure.
This is because it was a book that fell from his body when he was farming back then, during a fight between two flying people.
Although the old man was not familiar with much of the content, he relied on his limited understanding to tell it to his descendants as if it were a myth.
Among his descendants was a particularly bright child who stared intently at his grandfather with great curiosity.
"Grandpa, you said that if I understand the contents of this book, I can fly and teleport like a god. Is that true?"
The old man looked at his grandson with a kind smile and said, "This is absolutely true. I saw people flying around in the sky with my own eyes back then."
"Grandpa, are you confused? This book says we live on a round star. How can people live on a round star?" the child said.
"Can a deity's words be false?" Grandpa scolded.
This old man silently recited the scriptures from the Qi cultivation technique all day long, and his health actually improved more and more.
He was originally frail and sickly, but he lived to be a hundred years old.
My health is getting better and better. I even feel a warm current running through my body, and I have inexhaustible energy when doing farm work.
After his death, his descendants also practiced the secret arts in the book according to the methods he described.
No one else could cultivate that warm current, but his spirit-filled grandson did.
He inherited his grandfather's mantle and became the new patriarch, the person with the most influence in the family.
He guided the warm current in his body and carefully poured it into the tattered book, sensing the even more wondrous cultivation techniques emerging from within.
Although these were just some rudimentary guidance techniques taught by Xiao Ping'an, they were definitely a ray of light in the darkness for those mortals.
In this degenerate age, to have such an opportunity for spiritual practice is truly fortunate.
As the warm currents in his body increased and his blood and energy became more vigorous, the man grew increasingly eager to one day fly through the air and escape the earth like a true Qi cultivator.
That man did indeed have a talent for cultivation; he stumbled and struggled along the way, yet he was actually able to fly and travel underground.
In other eras, a man like this would at least be considered Saint.
However, in this era, being able to fly and teleport is already the limit of his cultivation aptitude.
Although he occasionally unearthed Shitou called "sources" while exploring those ancient mountains, most of them were impure and contained very little essence. Even if he wanted to dig out more, it would be impossible.
Those places that sealed away Primordial Beings were simply forbidden zones he couldn't enter; he shouldn't even think about it.
On this day, he met a handsome and imposing man.
Although this person looked ordinary and did not exude any amazing aura, in the man's eyes, he seemed to have an otherworldly air about him, as if he were a deity.
"I never imagined that someone on this planet could cultivate to this level using only rudimentary guidance techniques." Xiao Ping'an was also taken aback.
"It seems that there is no shortage of geniuses, no matter where or what era they are in; perhaps they just need an opportunity."
The man wanted to become Xiao Ping'an's apprentice, but Xiao Ping'an refused.
Xiao Ping'an felt that someone with such Saint qualities was not worthy of being his disciple.
However, since this person was so ambitious, Xiao Ping'an decided to give him a hand.
He taught the man a more advanced Qi cultivation technique, then plucked a star from the sky, refined it into a mirror, and gave it to the man before drifting away.
This lucky man, named You Chao, was surprised to find that there was an old man reflected in the mirror.
He would wake up from time to time, and occasionally give him some pointers.
This shocked him greatly.
In fact, the old man was the weapon deity in this mirror, but he had no idea that such a Saint Weapon contained a weapon deity.
In his eyes, that was absolutely a living god.
You Chao was wholeheartedly devoted to cultivating the Tao. He bid farewell to his family and rode on this mirror to seek immortals and visit Daoist masters everywhere.
He soared through the clouds and traveled across countless mountains and rivers.
After being taught by the old man in the mirror, he felt that his perspective had broadened.
Although he didn't know who had given him the mirror, nor what their cultivation level was, he was certain that it was a realm he couldn't currently fathom.
Even the mirror he casually plucked from the stars, forged from starlight, was so mysterious and powerful.
He listened as the old man in the mirror recounted the glorious years before the great changes in the world.
Although he was called an old man, he was actually not old at all; in fact, he was very young.
The reason it's called "Grandpa" is because You Chao believes the deity inside must be an immortal old monster.
Otherwise, how could he be so knowledgeable and recount such unheard-of secrets?
He heard the old man recount that this world once resounded with the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and the essence of heaven and earth was as rich as water. Even the worst place for cultivation back then was countless times better than the best place today.
"In this era, how exactly should we cultivate ourselves to reach the level of yours, senior?"
"The great principles of heaven and earth are contained in the mountains and rivers, in every blade of grass and every tree. If you can comprehend them thoroughly, you will naturally be able to reach a higher realm," the old man said with an air of authority.
From then on, this person named You Chao became incredibly skilled at comprehending the great principles of heaven and earth, as if he had a cheat code.
His cultivation progressed steadily, and he soon possessed the strength of Immortal Platform Mighty Figure.
He traveled to various parts of the planet, spreading his teachings and attracting many disciples, becoming a protector of humanity.
When he cultivated to the level of Dao-Slaying King, he even requested that mirror, which took him to the legendary Primordial Ancient Star.
Xiao Ping'an spread his teachings and traveled to one Life Source Land after another.
Although he was generous in spreading his teachings and knowledge to all living beings in the world, the human race still had a significant advantage.
This Qi Refining Technique is naturally suited to humans.
Although the human race was very weak at the beginning, and the demon race and Primordial Beings were much weaker, they would grow rapidly after cultivation.
Moreover, thanks to their strong reproductive and organizational advantages, they quickly established cities and nations, making them even more powerful.
For those demons, it's much harder to awaken their intelligence, let alone embark on the path of cultivation.
As for those Primordial Beings with powerful backers, they were sealed away long ago along with those powerful beings.
Those who are left to fend for themselves are definitely unlucky souls without any powerful connections.
In this day and age, spiritual practice is difficult, and some have degenerated into wild beasts, becoming prey for hunters.
Many naturally powerful races cannot withstand this degenerate age.
No wonder that in this era, many Primordial Beings and demons gradually faded from the historical stage, and no wonder that the Big Dipper human race rose to power during this period in the original text.
The human race also rose to prominence during this period.
It turns out that the evolution of heaven and earth has indeed been more beneficial to the human race.
However, when the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is restored, the bloodlines of those demon races and Primordial Beings will also awaken, and they will rise again.
In this era of declining Dharma, Xiao Ping'an pioneered the art of Qi cultivation, truly lighting a beacon for everyone's path forward.
In the past, various Life Source Land could travel between each other via teleportation arrays, but in this era, these teleportation arrays are basically unusable.
In the major Life Source Land, the number of cultivators is scarce, and even the strongest are not enough to traverse the starry sky.
Records of the Starry Sky Ancient Road have become legends in history.
Moreover, once the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth ceases to manifest, all sorts of terrible natural and man-made disasters will occur.
Many once prosperous cultivation civilizations have degenerated into ordinary mortal civilizations and mundane nations.
Xiao Ping'an, of course, also saw these scenes.
While some people are able to practice Qi cultivation techniques and improve their own and their families' fates, most people are still unable to do so.
Whenever there is a natural disaster, Xiao Ping'an's clone will appear to relieve suffering and rescue those in distress.
In those miraculous events, countless beings cheered and worshipped. Xiao Ping'an was like a god, appearing in various parts of the world in his true form and incarnations to save all living beings.
These natural disasters, such as floods, lightning, and earthquakes, are caused by the obscurity of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Some of the once dense array patterns are rapidly fading away and are no longer able to suppress the entire planet.
Even the slightest tremor, if not carefully monitored, can be a catastrophic earthquake for ordinary living beings.
This isn't Xiao Ping'an trying to act like a saint; it's simply part of his cultivation of the Great Dao.
Xiao Ping'an also tried to create a pure land, turning them into a place where they could cultivate.
One after another, pristine lands appeared in those Life Source Land, where it seemed as if the Great Dao was being revived.
The pure land that Xiao Ping'an created with his supreme magical power is now teeming with life and becoming increasingly prosperous.
Gradually, extraordinary talents began to rise there.
As time went by, the entire environment began to improve.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
Of course, Xiao Ping'an deserves credit for this; he has been trying to promote the revival of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Xiao Ping'an also saw the Heavenly Heart Imprint.
At this moment, the Heavenly Heart Imprint's aura was weak, and the Great Dao had almost dissipated. Clearly, if the Heavenly Heart Imprint were to be re-condensed and made stronger, or at least restored to its original form, it would still be a long way off.
Reviving this Heavenly Heart Imprint is a very troublesome matter.
After some deduction, Xiao Ping'an felt that perhaps awakening the Hundun Heavenly Venerable could solve the problem of the Heavenly Heart Imprint.
The Hundun Heavenly Venerable is currently in the Great Dream of Ten Thousand Ages, in his sixth incarnation.
If one triggers the Immortal Ascension Tribulation and lives out the seventh life, perhaps this Heavenly Heart Imprint can be activated.
Furthermore, if someone were to attain the Dao and become an emperor, they could likely activate this Heavenly Heart Imprint. However, in this era, attaining the Dao and becoming an emperor is extremely difficult.
Subsequently, Xiao Ping'an found the Hundun Heavenly Venerable, who was in the midst of Great Dream of Ten Thousand Ages, transforming from the illusory to the real and back again, and was truly not far from living out her seventh life.
He began to unleash his great magical power, deliberately guiding the Hundun Heavenly Venerable in this direction.
This certainly won't disrupt her natural transformation.
Xiao Ping'an taught Qi cultivation techniques, which spread throughout the world.
In a Life Source Land, there is a giant star surrounded by three smaller stars. This is a very ancient and sacred Life Source Land.
This star field is called the Eternal Star Domain, and this star is called the Eternal Star, also known as the Eternal Kingdom.
Now, Xiao Ping'an has created one pure land after another for those geniuses to cultivate, and some people are also practicing Qi Refining Technique. The whole world is gradually becoming more vibrant.
It is said that in the not-too-distant future, the Starry Sky Ancient Road may be reopened, allowing those peerless geniuses to embark on a path of trials.
Several Saint have now been born in this Eternal Kingdom.
In this era, those who are capable of cultivating themselves to become Saint are absolutely extraordinary geniuses.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the founder of a school of thought.
In a pure land within this Eternal Kingdom, the heavenly sounds of the Great Dao resound, and one cultivation genius after another cultivates here.
On this day, an ancient Saint emerged from seclusion, ready to preach and teach his disciples.
When people heard that a Saint had emerged from seclusion to preach, they flocked to listen, fearing they might miss this Fortune opportunity.
As everyone went to listen to the lecture, a middle-aged man glanced at his disciple and quickly frowned.
His authoritative voice rang out, "Where has Dao Yan gone?"
Why didn't he come here?
His voice carried a hint of anger; clearly, he was quite troubled by this clever and quick-witted disciple.
Hearing their master's anger, his disciples became cautious and dared not utter a sound.
Soon, a man who looked like a senior disciple stood up and said, "Junior Brother Dao Yan, it is said that he obtained a miraculous ancient formula when he went out. Now he is obsessed with alchemy, saying that he wants to forge his own path through alchemy."
The middle-aged man became very angry after hearing this.
"This is outrageous! The ancestor has emerged from seclusion, and not only does he not come to pay his respects, but he also lacks even basic manners."
"Go and bring him here immediately!" the middle-aged man said angrily to his senior brother.
"Fine, I'll go see for myself." The middle-aged man stormed off, intending to teach this disobedient young disciple a lesson.
This Saint, named Yu Mu, had achieved great success in cultivating Qi Refining Technique and, in this era, had successfully cultivated himself into a powerful Saint.
His purpose in going into seclusion this time was to break through to the Saint King Realm, and now he has truly succeeded in breaking through to the Saint King.
Now, almost everyone in the entire Eternal Kingdom treats him with utmost respect and comes to pay their respects early on.
The sect he founded became a super holy site in the entire Eternal Kingdom.
In fact, before this, those who were able to enter this holy land were all extraordinary geniuses, and every disciple was exceptional.
This person named Dao Yan was a cultivation genius.
However, this person is clearly somewhat unruly, or rather, disobedient.
No matter what his master said, he would always have his own interpretation.
His master's name is Xia Qiu, and he is now a Severing the Dao expert.
He led a group of disciples and flew angrily toward where Dao Yan was.
That was the place where elixirs were made.
As soon as he arrived there, he smelled an alluring fragrance wafting over, clearly indicating that the elixir had been successfully refined.
He felt that Dao Yan, though disobedient, was his most promising disciple who would go the furthest in the future.
Therefore, he has always been very tolerant of this disciple.
But despite his astonishing talent for cultivation, he doesn't focus on practicing Qi cultivation techniques. Instead, he spends all his time scheming about unorthodox methods. It's infuriating!
One minute he says he wants to forge weapons to prove his Dao, the next he says he wants to refine elixirs to prove his Dao.
In his opinion, if this disciple had focused on cultivation, he might have already Severing the Dao and become a king, surpassing himself.
However, although Dao Yan is known as a genius, he is now following unorthodox and unorthodox paths.
He is proficient in everything, from formations and elixirs to weapon crafting.
This talent is top-tier across the entire planet.
However, in terms of cultivation level alone, he doesn't rank very high.
Xia Qiu sincerely hoped that this disciple could repent and focus on cultivation.
Moreover, since obtaining the Qi Refining Technique, the people of the Eternal Kingdom have developed their own unique path of cultivation over the years, and almost everyone there is an ascetic.
They looked down on Dao Yan, who was involved in unorthodox practices, and many even secretly despised Dao Yan.
It won't be easy for Xia Qiu to enter the alchemy room and see Dao Yan.
To prevent disturbance, Dao Yan set up a dense array of runes.
Xia Qiu had set up a formation in an effort to break Dao Yan, which was quite elaborate and even made him look somewhat disheveled.
No matter how much he shouted from outside, it was as if his voice didn't reach inside.
Xia Qiu tried her best to break through the array blocking the outside, but the more she broke through, the more alarmed she became.
I never imagined that this kid's mastery of formations would progress so rapidly.
The complexity of the formation seemed to have exceeded his expectations.
The killing power that draws upon the essence of heaven and earth and the Great Dao, dynamically evolving within it, is something even a Severing the Dao expert like him finds somewhat difficult to handle.
In the end, he had to use his Severing the Dao weapon to forcibly break through those formations, and only then was he able to barely open a passage.
When he finally managed to get inside, he suddenly felt a terrifying attack coming his way.
With a deafening roar, Xia Qiu was sent flying backward, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
He stared in shock at the figure opposite him, only to see a golden-armored giant emerge from the formation, exuding the aura of Great Accomplishment King, and walk towards him.
Feeling the familiar aura and figure within the golden-armored giant, Xia Qiu found it hard to believe.
" Dao Yan, what are you doing..."
