Chapter 45, The Majesty of Humanity

  Understood the intention of Xuan Wuming, Qin Hao put away the Lei Ling Fu in his hand. This treasure should be treasured carefully and not wasted, as it could harm cultivators of the Human Dao.

  "It's not worth using it to kill these poor devils from the Mystic Door, if I could encounter those accomplished cultivators from the Great Sects, that would be worth using it." Qin Hao thought to himself with a mind full of schemes.

  If Xuan Wuming had heard that, he would have broken out in a cold sweat. Could the disciples of the Great Sect be killed so easily? Apparently, Xuan Wuming couldn't read minds.

  At the moment when the thunder and lightning disappeared, several Taishang elders suddenly became ill-intentioned. They didn't know why Qin Hao would put away the Lei Ling symbol, but they knew that now was the best opportunity to kill the divine pulse. The elder Wang Bi was even more resentful, with three divine spirits attached to his body, merging with the heavenly and earthly veins of fire, a powerful heat wave swept over the people around him, as if the primordial energy of heaven and earth would burn up at this moment.

  Seeing this, Qin Hao's heart turned cold. This Taichang elder really didn't know how to live or die, and now he still wanted to kill him. However, his earlier transmission with Xuan Wuming was definitely not overheard by anyone. So, he remained expressionless, allowing Wang Bi to take action. With the protection of Xuan Wuming's symbol, who dared to touch a single hair on his head in the Xuan Gate?

  "How dare you..." Mingyue Xiang shouted, she didn't know why Qin Hao had suddenly become so cautious, all she knew was that her disciple was untouchable, not a single finger could be laid on him, even if it were a cultivator of the Human Path standing in front of them.

  "Obstruct me and die." The Great Momentum of Fire is the meridian that Wang Xueyi has prepared to cultivate into a Human Dao, it can be said to be his destined meridian. As long as he fully merges with the Fire Meridian, he will immediately achieve the Human Dao. The Great Momentum of Fire is an extremely difficult meridian to merge with, refining one's spirit and soul with human fire, if one cannot endure that kind of suffering, their efforts will be in vain.

  Wang Bi's understanding of the grand momentum of fire had not yet reached its peak, but it was still unparalleled in power. He couldn't think that when facing this strong momentum in front of Shen Mai, he wouldn't dodge or evade, and his heart was puzzled as to whether Xuan Wuming had restricted his body. However, the desire in his heart made him charge forward without hesitation, and once he killed Shen Mai, Xuan Wuming would not say anything either.

  "Hmph, do you think I don't exist?" A breath of air came from the path of humanity, and Xuan Wumo made his move. The gentle water momentum in the heavens and earth supported him, and his entire person seemed to merge into a single point within the heavens and earth. That point burst forth with endless water power, like a great river rushing out, extending countless water veins, transforming into a heavenly net.

  The aura of this water makes people feel a lonely fear, as if they have all entered the boundless waters, and they are just a lone boat, while the surrounding water is about to swallow everything. Xuan Wuming is the king of this water, controlling everything, the source of the water's energy is endless, as if it will never dry up. This is a human dao cultivator who has already merged with his innate meridian.

  Under the Tao, outline the veins of heaven and earth, the Taoist masters outline the grand trend, while the human Taoist masters are in harmony with the grand trend, transforming themselves into the grand trend, thereby controlling everything. This is the origin of the Human Taoist King, and the mysterious and nameless harmony of the veins is precisely the trend of water, which can be called the Water King.

  "Zi zi ...." A harsh sound like water and fire colliding, but only for an instant. The powerful aura surrounding Wang Bi vanished in a flash, his resistance was merely a thread.

  A boundless surge of water's primal energy sent Wang Bi flying, his fresh blood spraying wildly as his face turned pale. Clearly, he had suffered a severe injury, and even his divine spirit was on the verge of collapse. The next moment, he flew into the Divine Repository.

  "What does 'the master of the upper door' mean?" Wang Bi was unclear and had an angry expression on his face.

  "Kill this divine pulse, and the Mystic Gate will prosper forever." The other few Supreme Elders were also like this. If they hadn't experienced the power of human dao cultivators, they would probably be forcing their way into the palace by now.

  "Master, kill him, I am the Mystic Gate..." The master of the Mystic Gate also spoke up.

  Before he could finish speaking, Xuan Wuming let out a cold snort: "All of you shut up."

  Then he turned around and said: "Wang Bi, today is just a small lesson. If you dare to act arbitrarily again in the future, there will be no pardon."

  "What, the Patriarch of the Upper Realm actually wants to protect this waste...". Everyone couldn't believe it: "What is the intention behind this, that the Patriarch of the Upper Realm would actually want to protect this kid? Is the Patriarch of the Upper Realm trying to monopolize everything?"

  Everyone has different thoughts, but they are all guessing in their hearts and dare not say anything. Just now, everyone witnessed the power of Xuan Wuming. More than a dozen cultivators who have achieved the Way are not enough to rival one cultivator of the Way. Even if the Supreme Elder comes out in full force, it's estimated that they will be completely annihilated. They just can't understand why the leader of the Supreme Sect is protecting this waste.

  "I now order all members of the Mystic Door to take an oath of heavenly principles, as Qin Hao's little friend has said. You must not leak the matter of cultivating divine veins, and you must not spy on the operation of divine veins." Standing in mid-air, Xuan Wuming spoke with a tone that brooked no questioning, like a god.

  "As soon as his words came out, everyone was stunned, staring blankly at Xuan Wuming with incredulity. Some people even thought that the master had gone crazy, and some wondered if he had practiced to the point of being muddle-headed and lacking in wit."

  "What is he doing?" Mingyue Xiang was puzzled, under such temptation, the choice of this superior master was completely different, even Mingyue Xiang couldn't understand.

  "What? Don't my words count as the master of this sect?" Xuan Wuming moved, and the great momentum of water spread out, radiating towards everyone, its veins like a heavenly net that enveloped all. The first to be affected were the eleven senior elders, with even the sect master not being an exception.

  They finally compromised, and it's not clear what kind of luck this guy has, but even the master of the Taishangmen is protecting him. After the elder finished making his vow, the other elders started one by one, followed by some disciples. Each sentence was spoken with reluctance, but they had no choice. The master of the Taishangmen's power is overwhelming, who dares to disobey? This is much more intimidating than Qin Hao's Lei Ling symbol. When Qin Hao uses the Lei Ling symbol, it's a suicidal move, whereas the master of the Taishangmen can easily crush anyone, and no one dares to utter a harsh word.

  Watching one by one honest oath, Qin Hao felt refreshing in his heart, but he also understood that his own strength was the foundation of everything.

  When everyone had finished swearing, their gaze towards Qin Hao was completely different. Now this guy was the ancestor, and anyone who dared to provoke him would be punished by the heavenly oath, which could make them disappear into nothingness. Who would have thought that a useless person for over a decade could turn the entire Xuanmen upside down, and even the master of Taishangmen came out to protect him?

  "It's settled then. Don't forget your promise, young Qin Hao," said the Taishang Laojun, before mounting his cloud and disappearing into the sun peak.

  The elder also left with them, now everyone has a question in their mind, what promise did Qin Hao make?

  However, none of them dared to ask Qin Hao this question. They were afraid that if they did, he would take revenge and beat them up badly. Even if they got beaten, they couldn't fight back. One by one, they quickly bid farewell and left.

  The red in the east is increasingly visible, and before long, a red sun slowly rises.

  With a loud noise, another morning arrived, and Mingyue Peak regained its calmness, but the human heart was not calm. What would a divine pulse bring?

  Moreover, Qin Hao still had a great secret hidden in his heart. Looking at the red sun, Qin Hao sighed, this was his sunrise, but it was the sunset of the Xuanmen. Could his aura really dispel the disaster that would destroy the sect? He didn't know, but after what happened with the master of the Taishangmen, Qin Hao wondered if he would still allow the Xuanmen to suffer from the disaster of destruction.

  "What are you thinking about, Haor?" A gentle voice echoed in his ears, under the warm sunset, the figure of Mingyue Xiang emerged from the dust, wearing a beautiful palace dress.

  "Master, you're so beautiful." Qin Hao turned back, without any reserve.

  "Smooth talker, after all these years, you really surprise me today." Mingyue Xiang said, her bright eyes seeming to see right through Qin Hao and what was different about him from before.

  "Does Master dislike it?" Qin Hao asked.

  "No, the more talented the disciple is, the happier the master will be." Mingyue Xiang said.

  "Didn't Master want to know why I succeeded in cultivating?" Qin Hao asked.

  "You want to tell me, nature wants to tell me, that at this time everyone has secrets, do you still remember my words?" Mingyue Xiang gazed at the sunrise, her eyes filled with a bewildered longing.

  "Remember, Master said that the more secrets this world has, the longer it will live. Just like this red sun in front of everyone's eyes, but hiding many secrets, making people unable to see through or guess." Qin Hao said.

  "You've grown up." Mingyue Xiang said with relief.

  Qin Hao didn't speak, he really didn't know what to say. If it were Jing Xuan, even with such an encounter, today's events might have turned out differently. He wondered if he should tell his master that he wasn't actually Jing Xuan. In the end, Qin Hao dispelled this idea, but he worried that if he told his master he wasn't Jing Xuan, would his master still treat him as he did now?

  This beautiful woman stirred up emotions in his heart, but he didn't dare speak out because they were master and disciple, at least nominally.

  "Hao'er, Master has two requests for you." After a brief silence, Mingyue Xiang spoke up.

  "As long as it's what you order, I'll definitely agree."

  "No matter what happens, don't destroy Xuanmen, okay?" Mingyue Xiang turned around and looked at Qin Hao.

  "Good." Qin Hao agreed without hesitation.

  "Why didn't you ask why?" Mingyue Xiang was surprised that Qin Hao had agreed so readily. Perhaps for Mingyue Xiang, the Mystic Door wasn't a painful place, but for Qin Hao, it was a painful memory. Yet now his disciple had agreed without hesitation, which made her somewhat curious.

  "Is it necessary to ask?" Qin Hao smiled and replied, in fact, he somewhat understood why his master wanted him to agree. The entire Xuanmen had sworn an oath, and no one knew what Qin Hao's future achievements would be. If they let him become a famous elder, those senior elders might not be able to control him anymore. He thought of destroying Xuanmen, it wasn't impossible, and Qin Hao had reason to do so. As for why Mingyue Xiang did this, it was because she thought about the cause and effect.

  Qin Hao was brought into Xuanmen by her, and all the causes and consequences were borne by her. Now is the time to settle this cause and effect.

  The bright moon smiled and said beautifully, making people infatuated: "No matter what happens in the future, I promise Master, I must live."

  "Understood, Master." Qin Hao replied softly, but in his heart, he silently muttered: "For you, I will also live on."

  The bright moon smiled, not opening her mouth. The two stood quietly at the edge of the cliff, watching the sunrise, speechless for a long time. As the sunlight grew stronger, the shadows of the two gradually merged together, but they were both unaware...
