Whoosh-
His figure flashed.
When he reappeared… he was already in a massive underground warehouse. The surrounding walls were made of steel and could ensure the safety of the gold even if they were under the simultaneous attack of tens of thousands of missiles.
“Wow- The layout is much like the one in Sakura, they should have been built by the same company.”
Xuanqing was looking around the vault with interest.
Then.
The duster in his hands twitched, and like previously, the tail of the duster transformed into countless strands wrapping around all the gold in the vault.
The next moment.
“Retrieve!
Every grain of gold disappeared.
Perhaps it was because the technological content of this vault exceeded that of the one in Kid Sun, the moment the gold disappeared,
The sensor in the corner of the wall, seemed to have detected the disappearance of the gold.
In an instant…. ear-piercing sirens began to ring throughout the entire vault base.
However.
Even if the alarm was sounding at full volume, it was of no use at all. How could low-grade detection methods such as optical imaging and thermal imaging possibly monitor Xuanqing?
Let alone his current cultivation level of the Flawless Golden Immortal.
Even if one only had a cultivation level of Turning Qi into God, with a bit of invisibility and stealth techniques, it would be untraceable to this level of technology.
Instantly.
The base was thrown into total chaos. Anyone who saw the situation in the vault was shocked and rendered speechless.
Of course… these issues were retained no connections to Xuanqing.
I must say.
Banks in Beautiful Country are indeed more generous.
Xuanqing only had to rob two banks to gather enough gold to create the Chaoyuan Power of Gold Qi.
After returning to Qingping Mountain.
He sat down cross-legged.
“Enter the game!”
Xuanqing silently commanded within his heart.
As Xuanqing entered the game to cultivate,
The development of Daoism in the real world did not stop.
Changwu County.
The doorstep of the First Daoist temple.
An old Taoist priest with white temples, wearing a Daoist robe… rushing hurriedly, holding a duster in his left hand, and wearing a wristwatch with no display on his right hand.
Creak-
Pushing open the front door.
“Master, you’ve returned from the meeting, did you bring us something tasty?”
A boy and a girl, both around the age of ten, eagerly asked as their master returned.
Seeing this,
The old Taoist priest said nothing and pulled out a hundred notes from his robe, stuffed it into the boy who was slightly older, and then commanded:
Ling’er, take your junior sister to buy something to eat. I have important matters to deal with, you should only disturb me if it’s of the utmost urgency!”
Having said that,
Under the astonished gazes of the two little Taoists,
The old Taoist priest quickly walked into the inner chambers of the bedroom of the Taoist temple, thereafter closing and locking the door.
After returning to his room.
The old Taoist priest sat down cross-legged.
His gaze fell onto his right wrist. To be exact, it was directed at the watch without a display.
His breathing was somewhat rushed, his expression seemed complex, at times it was excited, but other times it was melancholic.
What excited him… was that at his venerable age, he could still possess such great opportunities and was granted the cultivation methods sent from above.
However, his concern was…. he was already at such an old age now. His body was not the same as it was in his youth, whether he could learn this method of immortal cultivation or not was unknown.
If he was given such an opportunity but couldn’t digest it…
Cold and Eternal, Silent World, heart should be peaceful, hope….
“Huff-”
The old Taoist priest exhaled deeply.
After reciting the Ice Heart Formula, he felt as though he was placed in the North or South pole, his originally agitated emotions completely dispersed.
The next moment.
“Shenxiao Visualization…”
The old Taoist revisited the information in his watch inside his mind, then closed his eyes. In his mind, he began to visualize and pray according to the content of the techniques!
Moments later.
A piece of spiritual energy of the Faith Incense Fire that was invisible to the naked eye, spouted out from the head of the old Taoist, finally drifting towards the sub-array plate above the Taoist temple.
What is worth mentioning is,
All sub-array plates, when installed above the Taoist temple, already had both the disguise formation and defense formation of jade talisman mounted.
At this moment.
In the high sky.
After the sub-array plate absorbed the Faith Incense Fire contributed by the old Taoist, it immediately transmitted the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth into their corresponding ‘Keys’.
II
Hmm?”
In an instant.
The elder Daoist’s body trembled.
He felt an indescribable energy, surging from his wrist and finally entering his mind.
It was this slight distraction… that almost broke the prayer contemplation.
He dared not be careless.
The elder Daoist hurriedly reined in his spirit, focusing all his consciousness on the practice of contemplation and prayer.
Just like this.
The faith incense fire continued to be born… The sub-array plate continued to supply the corresponding Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, nourishing the old Daoist engaged in contemplatory practice.
lasted for most of an hour, until no more faith incense fire
This process
could be squeezed out of the old Taoist…
The high-altitude sub-array plate also stopped supplying spiritual energy.
“It’s over!”
The elder Daoist opened his eyes.
After feeling his own state, his heart was filled with shock.
Previously, due to the falling meteorites, he had once transported dozens of people onto a bus at once, accidentally injuring his leg.
Now, after practicing Shenxiao Visualization, the original injury disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.
However.
The change in his physical body was secondary.
The changes in spiritual strength were what truly produced elation.
His originally turbid eyes became much clearer, his thoughts became more active, and some forgotten scriptures once again clearly entered his mind.
The old daoist had a feeling… his brain seemed to have returned to its youthful state.
“What’s that smell…?”
A sour and stinky smell entered his nose, and his already enhanced sense of smell almost made him vomit.
It turned out., in this practice, the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy not only healed his internal injuries but also cleaned his old and neglected body.
At Changwu County’s First Taoist Temple, the old daoist’s experience was not an exception.
Throughout Yan Country’s Taoist doors… more than five thousand Taoist temples.
All the audiences, after the meeting ended, returned to the Taoist temples with the Array Plate Key…. They all attempted to practice Shenxiao Visualization.
If normal believers were to practice this method, the results may not be as good.
But the first batch of practitioners were all the heads of the Taoist doors, elderly Daoists who have practiced for a lifetime.
The result… goes without saying.
Under the impact of the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, cleansing and renewing were small matters. Those with exceptional talents were even able to develop spiritual strength on their first try, capable of interfering with reality through spiritual strength, controlling some lighter physical matter.
A Taoist, two Taoists’ practice, is not too impactful for Water Blue Star.
However, the practice of hundreds… thousands… or even tens of thousands of elderly Daoists, combined, creates a qualitative change for all of humanity.
Unseen.
A force named ‘human path cultivation’ began to condense in Yan Country. Each time the elderly Daoists practiced, this force would become denser.
This power… is not compatible with the ‘technical side’ rules of the real world.
At least for the ‘Heaven and Earth Will’ of Water Blue Star, the birth of this power posed a formidable and fatal threat.
Buzz-
In the high altitude of Water Blue Star.
The atmosphere was constantly rubbing, with thunder and lightning appearing everywhere, scenes resembling the apocalypse.
All of these apocalyptic scenes condensed into a light group, emitting a sense of despair and corruption.
Heaven and Earth Will.
It was the Heaven and Earth Will!
Under the stimulation of the opening of the Human Path cultivation, perhaps due to despair, the Heaven and Earth Will actually birthed a trace of intelligence.
At this moment.
The scant few intelligences within the Heaven and Earth Will could clearly discern that their time was limited. It was likely that before long, they would be destroyed and devoured by that Will on Qingping Mountain.
Therefore.
It cast its gaze towards Qingping Mountain.
Qingping Mountain, Qingping Temple.
The incense was very prosperous.
Some worshipped in the Three Purities Palace, while others sat in meditation under the old locust tree in the courtyard, because it was rumored that Xuanqing, the founder of the Taoist door, achieved Dao here.
That’s right.
Now in Yan Country, ever since the implementation of the ‘Three Nos’ policy, the videos of Xuanqing’s initial teachings began to widely circulate online.
Gradually… as the first to reveal ‘Daoist techniques’, Xuanqing was affectionately called Xuanqing Ancestor by netizens.
Regarding this., the Daoist door did not clarify, which further solidified the netizens’ imaginations.
Hence.
Qingping Mountain was once again in the spotlight…. However, the hottest spot on Qingping Mountain was not the Three Purities Palace worshiping the main god.
It was the locust tree… the original body of Huai Qingyun… where Xuanqing first preached.
However.
At this moment, the inner courtyard of Qingping Mountain had already been targeted by the Heaven and Earth Will that had just birthed intelligence, locking onto Xuanqing who was sitting in the inner courtyard.
The massive and heavy dark clouds gathered in the sky above Qingping Temple, as if the apocalypse was upon them. This scene caught the attention of all the believers who came to burn incense.
“Eh… Why has the sky turned dark?”
Gosh… This, is this the end of the world?”
Damn, could it be that Xuanqing Daozu is practicing some powerful divine power?”
