The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 754 - 339: Qingmu Longevity Technique

True Monarch Yuyang: "Does Senior Brother mean to let him be?"

True Monarch Changchun nodded lightly: "Although our vision is good, how can our understanding of the Heavenly Secret compare to that of the Ancestral Master. Since this person has been mentioned by the Ancestor, why should we trouble ourselves with unnecessary speculation."

True Monarch Yuyang couldn’t help but feel frustrated upon hearing this. The old Taoist spoke so grandly, yet wasn’t it him who instructed to transmit the Qingmu Longevity Technique to probe the other party? Now, he was left even more clueless, instead uttering a set of empty words.

But what can be done since he is the Senior Brother and the Master?

A higher rank can crush you!

True Monarch Yuyang: "Senior Brother’s insight is profound."

True Monarch Changchun continued: "However, doing nothing might easily lead people to be suspicious. You might as well have him come see me once."

True Monarch Yuyang’s mouth twitched; the old Taoist truly changed his mind quickly.

Nevertheless, he was currently very curious about Li Qing, so he directly projected his Divine Thought into Yuyang Cave Heaven to summon Li Qing.

The person quickly arrived.

At this time, True Monarch Changchun again asked True Monarch Yuyang to leave.

True Monarch Yuyang couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward.

But seeing Senior Brother’s serious gaze, he resignedly stepped away.

"Disciple Li Qing, pays respects to the Master." Xu Qing vaguely guessed what was about to happen.

True Monarch Changchun deeply glanced at Xu Qing and then smiled: "Li Qing, you come from the Pure Yang Realm, possessing deep roots within our Pure Yang Dao Sect, the old Taoist even finds promise in you. Within the Immortal Sect, you need not be constrained, just consider yourself still in the Pure Yang Realm. If there is any need, feel free to ask Yu Yangzi, if he cannot satisfy you, you can come to the old Taoist."

Xu Qing quickly expressed gratitude, and said that True Monarch Yuyang treated him like a direct disciple and that he had no other needs.

When a leader is courteous to you, you dare not be truly courteous in response.

Xu Qing and True Monarch Changchun had no blood relation, knowing each other so briefly, suddenly treating him with such cordiality, Xu Qing indeed feared that the man might be aiming deeper into his heart.

True Monarch Changchun was naturally shrewd, casually offering Xu Qing a few tips on the Qingmu Longevity Technique.

Xu Qing’s cultivation and understanding could not compare to True Monarch Changchun. After hearing, he indeed gained a lot.

Just as expected, shutting the door and building a car won’t do.

Through his avatar, receiving guidance from esteemed figures in Pure Yang Dao Sect, further pondering the Great Dao would undoubtedly be better than delving into cultivation matters alone in the Pure Yang Realm.

After a discussion, Xu Qing felt noticeably relaxed.

With the status of True Monarch Changchun, to deal with his avatar, even Xu Qing’s main body, there was no need for such politeness.

Though unclear of the reason, Xu Qing was assured that he had established a firm footing in the Pure Yang Dao Sect.

It wasn’t easy.

After all, at present, engaging with such a behemoth indeed required considering many things.

"Li Qing, though the old Taoist is advanced in years, my eyes remain sharp. Yin Zheng and Zhao Jing, those two lads, are truly no good, and have even absorbed Demonic Qi in the Pure Yang Realm. The old Taoist thinks the one who ties the bell should untie it; therefore, it’s you to help them remove the Demonic Qi." True Monarch Changchun shifted the topic.

Luckily, Xu Qing was in avatar form, if his true body were present, he’d certainly be sweating.

Even so, he understood that his trickery had long been seen through.

But it was not surprising.

If not seen through, that would be odd.

Now that it was put bluntly, it turned out to be a good thing, clearing off Xu Qing’s largest hidden worry in Pure Yang Dao Sect.

He quickly cupped his hands: "Disciple did not know the heights of the heavens, bringing shame to the Master. What the Master instructed, the disciple shall immediately attend to."

True Monarch Changchun said with a smile: "There’s no need to be tense. Having endured this catastrophe, they can truly experience a trial to become immortal. Instead of blaming you, they should thank you."

"This disciple is too ashamed to accept."

True Monarch Changchun laughed happily, took out a palm-sized Immortal Boat, and tossed it to Xu Qing, saying: "Go."

"Yes."

...

...

Xu Qing’s avatar just left the great hall, not walking away but waiting in place.

Before long, he saw two Demon King Protectors being led over by a Daoist.

The two Demon King Protectors were precisely Xu Qing’s Heavenly Demon Transformation, manifested from Yin Zheng and Zhao Jing.

He said nothing, took out the Immortal Boat, the two Demon King Protectors boarded it, and then crossed the stars away.

...

...

"True Master Yin, True Master Zhao, I apologize for previous offenses, please forgive me."

Yin Zheng and Zhao Jing were surprised they could return to the Pure Yang Dao Sect one day, feeling a wave of mixed emotions. However, they knew it was because of an agreement between the Master and Xu Qing.

Yin Zheng cupped his hands: "This trial has clarified our minds, all thanks to Taoist Friend Xu, much appreciated."

Zhao Jing remained sullen-faced, with Yin Zheng tugging him, he reluctantly clasped hands: "Thank you."

Xu Qing was unconcerned and said: "May you two Taoists have a safe journey."

Once the two Daoists left, Xiong Chan emerged from the shadows, frowning: "Gongming, we let them off so easily, I’m afraid they might seek revenge later."

Xu Qing: "The Pure Yang Dao Sect has already seen through my tricks, we can’t provoke them."

Xiong Chan sighed: "This world is so vast, even with cultivation reaching our level, we are still frogs at the bottom of the well, unable to truly be carefree."

Xu Qing: "In this Taixu Universe, there’s no true carefree nature. But don’t lose heart, Master; the ancestor of the Buddhist Sect, Shakyamuni, is rumored to be quite formidable here, having accomplished many significant deeds, gaining great fame."

Xiong Chan’s eyes brightened: "For real? What great deeds did the Buddha accomplish?"

"I heard he offended all the Four Great Daoist Sects and other Immortal Sect powerhouses." Xu Qing succinctly replied.

Xiong Chan’s smile froze, coughed lightly, "In fact, since the Bodhidharma Patriarch, the Buddhist Law of our temple has blended with Taoist and Confucian teachings, quite different from Tianzhu Buddhist Law."

He originally had thoughts of venturing out, upon hearing this, immediately quelled the idea.

The Buddhist stresses causation, the Buddha plants the cause, yet the Buddha doesn’t touch cause and effect, leaving the bitter fruits for Buddha’s sons and grandsons to bear.

He quickly changed the topic: "I think this Daoist Yin is decent, but regarding Daoist Zhao, he seems hard to deal with; Gongming should be cautious of him."

Xu Qing: "The Master speaks wisely, yet, if seeking collaboration, Zhao Daoist is more suitable than Yin Daoist."

Xiong Chan was greatly surprised: "Why?"

Xu Qing: "Zhao Daoist has ambition, fears no matters, while Yin Daoist is contrary."

Xiong Chan, hearing this, nodded: "Gongming sees clearly."

Xu Qing thought: "You bald monk pointing at me, still can’t see through?"

He understood it was Xiong Chan using this matter to declare his intent to Xu Qing. Xiong Chan is also ambitious, hoping Xu Qing won’t forget him.

However, Xu Qing also has plans.

During the Dao Discussion and God Destruction Conference, Pure Yang Dao Sect aims to challenge the Bodhi Dao Sect.

Yet the Bodhi Dao Sect favors the Buddhists and has vast causation with Shakyamuni.

Should Pure Yang Dao Sect successfully push Bodhi Dao Sect from the Four Great Daoist Sects, it would severely harm its Essence Qi, potentially leading to fragmentation, where Xiong Chan’s identity could be highly advantageous.

Moreover, Xu Qing also heard that Shakyamuni demonstrated the complete Tathagata Divine Palm at Bodhi Dao Sect, with the Magic Intent of the Tathagata Divine Palm remaining there.

The Tathagata Divine Palm is said to transcend the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements, and is one of the top-tier Divine Skills in the Taixu Universe.

Naturally, Xu Qing was keenly interested in this.

Especially since he was thoroughly taught a lesson by Shakyamuni’s shadow using the Tathagata Divine Palm earlier, knowing very well the might of this palm technique.

In this time, to achieve great deeds, skill matters.

At present, the Taixu Universe remains dominated by the Four Great Daoist Sects and other Immortal Sect giants.

Xu Qing initially refrained from killing Yin and Zhao Daoists, precisely due to this consideration.

You can slay demons, devils, even the Great Witch of Jiuli World, yet these Immortal Sect disciples mustn’t be killed at random. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Look at Journey to the West, the Monkey became the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, during the pilgrimage to the Western Heaven, didn’t kill a single Immortal Mount. That’s why they call him a shrewd monkey.

A monkey is indeed shrewd.

Xu Qing further understands, even if intending to confront the Heavenly Court in the future, the Four Great Daoist Sects cannot be excluded.

Moreover, with the intelligence gathered by Xu Qing, forces beyond the Four Great Daoist Sects in the Taixu Universe still hold considerable power, yet lack someone to unite them.

If this force could be consolidated, even partially, Xu Qing could thus attain speech rights equivalent to the Four Great Daoist Sects level.
