Chapter 64, Talking About Life Part 6

  In the Yunchuan State, there is a place shrouded in mist and clouds, with sacred mountains standing tall. The thickness of the heaven and earth's primordial energy is several times that of the Xuanmen. Cranes dance in the air, and amidst them, a hint of dragon-like aura can be seen. This is the famous Tianlong Mountain of Yunchuan State. If Qin Hao were to observe the grand trend of the heavens here, he would probably exclaim that this is a place of great auspiciousness.

  Tianlong Mountain is where the fourth-ranked Tianlong Gate of the nine gates of Izumo is located, belonging to a mid-tier gate school. However, even this mid-tier gate school is not something that Xuanmen can compare to. Just by looking at the thickness of the yuanqi on those disciples' bodies, it far surpasses that of Xuanmen's disciples. If the Great Sects are like emperors, then these higher-ranking gate schools under them are like nobles.

  The Zhongdeng Gate is just a wealthy family, and the Xuanmen are just ordinary people. If possible, the Tianlong Secret Method in the Tianlong Gate is famous throughout the Yun Country, created by a god-king of human path. This god-king can even match the old ancestor of Xuanmen, Xuantian Fengwu, in beauty. The secret technique in this Tianlong Decision is much more powerful than Tai Xuan's One Strike.

  Under the full moon, a streak of light flew in from outside the sky, so fast it was unbelievable. The disciples of the Tianlong Gate were puzzled, but not surprised, thinking that this streak of light could penetrate the protective formation of the Tianlong Gate, and simply thought it was a message from some higher-level sect.

  As expected, the flowing light rushed straight to the main peak of the Tianlong Gate and was about to crash to the ground when suddenly a large hand emerged from the main peak, grasped the flowing light, and held it in its palm. The movement conformed to the grand momentum of heaven and earth, accompanied by a faint dragon's hum, before retracting and walking away. Everything happened in an instant. The disciples of Tianlong Gate were merely spectators, yet they weren't surprised - this was definitely the work of one of the elder masters.

  Just this one move was more powerful than the top elders of the Mystic Sect, and in a pavilion, an old man with white hair and beard held a small sword in his hand. His spiritual eyes seemed to be looking at something, and after a few breaths, the old man slapped the sword, turning it into flying ash. This is the flying sword transmission of the cultivator.

  Even if it's tens of thousands of miles away, as long as there is a mark, it can fly into the hands of a specific person. However, such flying sword legends are rarely used by anyone, even for a mid-level sect like Tianlongmen, because they must use a middle-grade yuan stone as a medium to transform into a sword shape in order to achieve this effect. The farther away, the more it consumes.

  But the safety of Fei Jian Zhuan Shu is higher than any other transmission method, because Fei Jian Zhuan Shu directly breaks through the void and transmits to another person's hands, so it can penetrate the Tian Long Men's mountain protection formation.

  "Tianxuan passed on the book, asking me to send Tianlongmen to Xuanmen to investigate Xuantianfeng's secret treasure?" The old man thought about the content of the flying sword transmission, but was somewhat puzzled. He knew that Xuanmen used to be a high-ranking sect, but later declined and became a lower-ranking sect. He had also heard of Xuantianfeng's secret treasure, but had no chance to see it.

  "Are they going to wipe out the entire Xuanmen clan? Specifically, they want to kill the Xuanmen successor. Hmm, that old codger Xuan Wuming is still alive and has even advanced to the Human Path, this is a big deal! Not even lower-tier sects have Human Path cultivators, could it be that Xuanmen is going to rise to power? Or did Xuanmen obtain some secret treasure from Xuantian Feng?" The old man paced back and forth, clearly thinking about the possibilities of this matter. His body was surrounded by a sharp golden aura, one of the most powerful in the world, and he too was a Human Path cultivator, with an aura far thicker and stronger than Xuan Wuming's.

  "But didn't the Tianxuan Great Sect just recruit Mingyue Xiang, the 72nd genius disciple on the Heavenly Punishment List? And isn't Mingyue Xiang a disciple of the Mystic Gate? Is there something fishy going on here? They're willing to use mid-grade spiritual stones to transmit scriptures, it seems like the Tianxuan Great Sect is taking this matter very seriously." The old man continued to pace back and forth, in the eyes of the Great Sect, no matter whether they were upper, middle or lower-tier sects, they were all just ants, and those who lived in the cracks had to be extremely cautious.

  "It seems that I have to make a move, even if Xuan Wuming advances, it doesn't matter, killing him would eliminate future troubles and maybe even get some hidden treasures. Perhaps we can also get a share of the spoils, this way our Tian Long Men can advance a few ranks in the Nine Gates Alliance, and being second is not impossible. Getting more dragon veins will make us stronger, and if we succeed, we'll have a connection with the Tian Xuan Great Sect in the future, and even becoming first is not impossible." The old man analyzed the pros and cons, the Xuan Men might not have any pressure, their dragon vein was already abandoned, no one would bother them.

  It's that kind of poor and white, who would provoke a penniless but powerful sect? Although it can be destroyed, it will also consume energy.

  "Haha, it seems that this time's Nine Gates Alliance will only have eight gates after all. The Mystic Gate will be erased from the world...". The old man sighed and seemed very confident. This is just how the world is - under the great sects, everyone else is just an ant. You never know when you'll offend someone you shouldn't and get your entire clan exterminated without even realizing it.

  "The Green Book." The old man called out, and after a moment, a disciple wearing a Taoist robe walked over. He had a slender build and delicate features, with piercing eyes and elegant eyebrows that made him seem almost otherworldly, like a woman, yet his aura revealed him to be a powerful cultivator who had achieved the Dao, far surpassing the senior elders of the Mystic Gate in terms of depth and richness.

  "Master." The strange and mysterious one respectfully said.

  "Summon the eight elders of the Law Enforcement Hall to come over, and now set off for Xuanmen." The old man said that in Xuanmen, the accomplished cultivators are the Supreme Elder, but in Tianglongmen, the accomplished cultivators are just elders. This is the difference, and it's even more different in the Great Church, where human cultivators are also just elders.

  "What's this, Master?" said Qing Shu.

  Upon hearing this, the old man roughly explained the situation. Suddenly, Qing Shu retorted: "Just for a vague and elusive treasure? Master, there are too many doubts here. Why didn't the Tianxuan Sect take action themselves? Moreover, they even brought in a genius from the Tianxia List, which is a person of the Mystic Door. Most importantly, why did they specify that the successor of the Mystic Door must be killed?"

  "The Green Book, the Grand Master's affairs we don't need to ask much about. Even if the Grand Master asks us to go to our deaths, we must go. For the master has been in power for many years, day and night it is like standing on thin ice." The old man shook his head and said.

  "I understand, Master. Although destroying the Mystic Gate may cause us some loss and be unfavorable to the Nine Gates Alliance, if we can really find any clues about that secret treasure, it might turn out to be a blessing for our Tianlong Gate," Qing Shu said.

  "It's the same with being a master, you let the elders of the Enforcement Hall wait here, I'll go inform my senior brother and make it clear to him." The old man finished speaking, turned into a long rainbow, and disappeared on the spot.

  "What's with the Mystic Gate? Hmph, it seems that my Li Qing Shu's quest to conquer the Nine Gates will have to start from the Mystic Gate. That Mystic Gate successor, you will be my first stepping stone." Li Qing Shu instantly lost his calm demeanor from earlier, replaced by a cold and sinister killing intent. If he had known that the Mystic Gate had produced a Qin Hao, he probably wouldn't have thought this way............

  "In the mysterious door's scripture storage pavilion, Qin Hao let out a sneeze and muttered to himself, who was thinking of him again. But he suddenly had an ominous premonition, walked out of the scripture storage pavilion, Qin Hao gazed at the sky of the mysterious door, like some kind of superior being, gazing at the sky, seemingly in a daze, at least that's how it seemed to outsiders, but Qin Hao was actually observing the mysterious door's aura."

  "Big brother, what are you looking at?" Suddenly a figure interrupted his gaze, and when he looked down, he found that Qingxuan had arrived.

  At this time, Qing Xuan was already the master of Mingyue Peak, which was naturally proposed by Qin Hao.

  "It's nothing, Shizi is coming to the Zang Jing Pavilion?" Qin Hao was interrupted by this and gave up his observation. He also didn't notice anything out of place.

  "He...". Qing Xuan suddenly stuttered, clearly not here to borrow books. After a pause, Qing Xuan said: "I am here to borrow."

  Qin Hao didn't believe the reason, but he nodded and said nothing. He naturally knew why Qing Xuan had come. After all, Qin Hao had been staying in the Cang Jing Pavilion for several days without taking a step out, but many people had come to flirt with him, all of whom were female disciples from various peaks. Later, when Qin Hao was really annoyed, he directly asked Xuán Wú Míng to seal off the Cang Jing Pavilion. Without Qin Hao's permission, no one could enter, not even the current master of the Xuanmen sect.

  In this way, Qin Hao calmed down a bit. Now that Qing Xuanming knew the Cang Jing Pavilion belonged to Qin Hao, yet he came here, it was clear that his intentions were not ordinary. However, Qin Hao had never thought that he could bewitch everyone, and every woman would stick to him.

  "Suit yourself then." Qin Hao walked back in, preparing to continue reading his book. However, Qing Xuan apparently had no intention of letting him off the hook and chimed in, "Brother, from now on, don't call me 'sister' anymore. Your current strength is well-known throughout the entire Mystic Door. If others hear you still calling me 'sister', they'll probably laugh at us."

  "Let others think what they want, I'm already used to it." Qin Hao replied while examining a bamboo slip containing the secrets of alchemy.

  "Senior brother is indeed different from others." Qing Xuan also found a book, carelessly flipping through it, but somehow couldn't focus on reading, as if there was something he wanted to say, yet didn't dare to speak out loud.

  "Sister, do you have anything to say to me?" Qing Xuan's careless appearance was something that even a fool could see was hiding something. And as for Qin Hao, who had traveled from Earth, he had already seen enough of the matters between men and women in soap operas to be fed up with them. Perhaps on Earth he was still a virgin, but here, he was definitely a master of romance. His ability to read people's words and expressions was absolutely top-notch.

  "Nothing... nothing..." Qing Xuan's heart suddenly panicked, she couldn't believe that Qin Hao was even better at reading between the lines than he was. She thought to herself, "Was this guy pretending to be stupid all along?" But pretending to be stupid didn't mean getting beaten up without fighting back, did it?

  "Sister, to put it bluntly, I'm not an outsider." Qin Hao tried his best to calm Qing Xuan down. Qing Xuan was also a figure who had cultivated for decades, but when it came to matters between men and women, he still couldn't compare to Qin Hao.

  "Actually, I wanted to ask, what did Shixiong do to me that day?" Qingxuan asked.

  "It's nothing, I just helped you get rid of a bit of disaster." Qin Hao said unintentionally, but the words had already been spoken and couldn't be taken back.

  "Really? No wonder I've been feeling like everything has been going smoothly for me lately, it's all because of you, brother. How did you do it? Can you teach me..."

  "No." Qin Hao replied succinctly.

  Qing Xuan's face suddenly turned pale for a moment, and in fact, Qin Hao couldn't teach him unless Qing Xuan was also of the Panhuang lineage.

  The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and after a few breaths of silence, Qin Hao stood up, preparing to leave: "I've mastered all the techniques for refining equipment. It seems I should go collect materials now. This fan must be refined as soon as possible, so I'll have another life-saving item."

  He muttered to himself, preparing to leave, but saw Qingxuan staring blankly at a book. Qin Hao shook his head: "Sister, if you're interested, I can teach you another secret technique, but only if you're willing."

  "What?" Qing Xuan suddenly turned his head back with excitement.

  "Yin and yang in harmony, discussing life." Qin Hao said with a mischievous grin as he walked away. Qing Xuan's face suddenly turned bright red, but she couldn't help staring at Qin Hao's receding figure, lost in thought...
