Before Baili Qingmiao it was He Wenchao who was the fastest person in the Shangqing sect to advance to the Golden Core realm. He became a Golden Core cultivator in just three years, after he built his foundation at the young age of 18. Cultivation was a way of stealing from heaven and it became more and more difficult to cultivate as you advanced. It was relatively simple to attract Qi and gain Qi Enlightenment. Ordinary martial arts practitioners could do it even if they only had good physical durability. The foundation building was the real threshold to enter the world of cultivation. This threshold eliminated countless people. How many people, who yearned for this cultivation path, were stopped in front of this high threshold and unable to advance until they died.
And even if you advanced to foundation building, would you be able to reach immortality?
Probably not.
There were many people, who had come to a stand still in the foundation building period for more than 50 years, and had not formed a golden core until their life force was exhausted. Qi enlightenment is to absorb the energy of heaven and earth into the body, Qi Refinement is to refine them for their own use. Foundation building is to build the foundation and use heaven's and earth's Qi to force out the acquired impurities in the body and achieve the innate body. The golden core realm is to form golden cores in the Dantian and for the first time your divine sense can look inside its body. It is then, when dantian is emerging and the body becomes a world of its own, truly transforming cultivator from mortal to immortal.
It was already a miracle that He Wenchao was able to form it in three years. But what about Baili Qingmiao? When she was just 18 years old, she built her foundation and at the end of the year before her master could teach her the mental cultivation of Golden Core, she already advanced to Golden Core!
Elder Qing Yue of the Deacon's Hall had checked Baili Qingmiao's cultivation and confirmed that her Qi was normal and not devil qi. She cultivated the heart method of the Shangqing sect and she understood the heart method of the Golden Core realm with her own strength.
Such a talent has never appeared in the Shangqing sect before.
Elder Qing Yue nodded his head in satisfaction, a light smile played on his lips. After offering incense to his ancestor he rang the Shangqing sect's Moon Bell.

The Shangqing sect's Moon Bell was precisely one of the three great immortal artifacts of the Shangqing sect, guarding Shangqing sect mountain's protection array for many years, the bell's ringing could be heard throughout the sect unless the cultivator ringing it was on the brink of the death. Ordinary Golden Core cultivators were not worthy of the Deacon Hall elders summoning the whole sect. Even He Wenchao who advanced to Golden Core three years ago failed to receive this treatment. Baili Qingmiao situation was rare, and Elder Qing Yue decided to activate the Moon Swinging Bell after careful consideration.
As soon as the Moon Swinging Bell rang, He Wenchao, who was tossing in the bed with Shu Yangyan at the bottom of the mountain, also heard it.
With the sound of the bell the voice of elder Qing Yue spread to everyone's ears: "Lingyun peak, Baili Qingmiao under the master Qing Rong advanced to Golden Core, it took her a year."
He Wenchao froze.
Shu Yanyan also heard the sound of the moon bell, but she was not a disciple of the Shangqing sect so she could not hear the voice of the elder Qing Yue. She pretended to not know anything and encircled He Wenchao neck with her jade arm, whining: "Young He, don't bully this concubine, hurry up..."
Excellent acting, worthy of being the Right Protector of the Xuanyuan Sect!
He Wenchao, however, was no longer in mood. He hurriedly got up, and got rid of her smell on his body with a purification trick. Shu Yanyan looked over questioning: "Young He?"
He Wenchao said indifferently: "I suddenly remembered that I have some important business to attend to, I need to return to the sect. I may not be able to visit you these days. Be good and wait for me."
After saying that he turned around and left, Shu Yanyan propped herself on her arm and leaned lazily on the bed: "Putting on clothes and imminently turning over a new leaf, yuck!"
"Baili Qingmiao has returned to the sect." A voice came from the window, Shu Yangyan was startled and looked intently. She didn't know when Wen Renhe and Yin Hanjiang had broken the window.
"So it was Venerable, you scared this subordinate almost to death. I thought that my cultivation had regressed and my vigilance had become so poor that I didn't even know that someone had broken in." Shu Yanyan didn't hurry to put on her clothes or cover herself with the blanket and looked at the both of them frankly.
However, as if they were blind, Wen Renhe and Yin Hanjiang ignored Shu Yanyan's appearance and posture. Yin Hanjiang used a purification trick to clean the table and chairs in the room for Wen Renhe and used the Clear Wind Technique to blow away the strange smell in the house and opened the window, before he invited his Devil Venerable to take a seat.
Shu Yanyan: "..."
She flattened her mouth and threw clothes on her body with a casual move. She saluted the Lord and looked at Yin Hanjiang, then her face froze: "Yin Protector, have you already reached soul combination ?"
Shu Yanyan's heart rose with caution. Yin Hanjiang and her were Devil Venerable's left and right protectors, yet the venerable highly valued left protector. Before Shu Yanyan could comfort herself that Protector Yin was only at the soul combination stage and his magic sword although strong, it hurt the body and soul, and couldn't last too long. Otherwise, it would be demonized. In comparison, she was a little more powerful. However, in just six months, Yin Hanjiang has risen from the soul transformation realm to the soul combination realm. Wouldn't it be just a matter of time before he broke through the Realm of Void?
The Right Protector felt a sense of crisis!
Unexpectedly, Venerable shook his head in dissatisfaction and said: "It is only a soul transformation, it is not even close."
That's not right! Shu Yanyan felt that she smelled something different. Her pair of alluring eyes looked back and forth between Wen Renhe and Yin Hanjiang. Yin Hanjiang has not changed, he was always silent and loyal, Lord was as powerful and cold as ever, and the way they got along hadn't changed. ........
Shu Yanyan narrowed her eyes and found that Protector Yin was standing a little closer behind the Lord than before, and the posture of Protector Yin guarding behind Wen Renhe was also a little bit more relaxed than in the past.
It was just a little bit, but it gave a totally different feeling.
The alarm bells were ringing in her heart, so she hurriedly went forward and got down to business: "My Lord, in the past half year, I have committed myself to He Wenchao and helped him cultivate until Nascent Soul, so that He Wenchao will have the opportunity to participate in the important matters of the sect. Knowing the location and position of their Nascent Soul realms disciples, the five major forces of Shangqing, Heavenly Sword, Jiuxing, Biluo and Wuxiang Temple, as well as the disciples of other smaller sect, they will set up large arrays in the north and south of Xuanyuan Sect temporarily blocking the spiritual veins, so that they will have no heaven and earth Qi to support them when they engage in battle. "
Shu Yanyan told how much she had given and how much information she had received these days so that she could compete with Protector Yin for credit. She wanted to show Protector Yin that it wasn't enough to just follow and flatter the Venerable as she had made some real achievements!
《Abusive Love Affair: You are the only one I will never change》 has depictions of the Massive Demon War from the perspective of Baili Qingmiao, who was only a golden core disciple at the time and didn't know much about it. Within ten years her specific daily routine was all about her older material brother, thinking about him, worrying about him, missing him, saving people on the way and showing her good character as a female lead. It was unknown how the Righteous Way was arranged, Wen Renhe also did not know, but with information, they had the outline plan of the righteous path.
"This subordinate believes that we need to send two experts to prepare in advance at the location of the arrays, take two ingenious positions, destroy their array, and then wipe out these Nascent Soul disciples in one stroke!" Shu Yanyan raised her eyes, the feminine warmth in her eyes disappeared, leaving only fierce cruelty. She was dressed in white, but as beautiful as a blooming Manzhu Shahua (flower – https://www.saipantribune.com/index.php/the-legend-of-the-other-shore-flower/ ), waving gently to lure the lost people to the other side.
She was ruthless, cold-hearted, and would never stop at anything to achieve her goal. This was the true character of Xuanyuan Sect's Right Protector Shu Yanyan. As she spoke, the star of Dubhe ( In Chinese astrology symbolizing lust ) appeared in the night sky, shining brightly.
The leader of Shangqing sect and the leaders of other major sects were watching the stars at night, speculating about the heaven will. The leader of nine star sect looked at the sky with a dignified face: "The three stars of Polis ( In Chinese astrology symbolizing power), Alkaid ( In Chinese astrology symbolizing destruction), and Dubhe flicker and reflect each other, it is an ominous omen!"
"How could that be?" The leader of Biluo sect said: "A few months ago, I predicted that the Dubhe star would be suppressed by thunder light and become dull. The Alkaid have the appearance of being possessed by the devil, the color of blood is hidden in it and there is a high possibility of self-destruction after Polis would be killed. The three stars
were all decadent and it was good time for the righteous to wipe up the demonic way in one fell swoop, so how could their fortune suddenly flourish?"
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master gaze was like a sword: "Six months ago, Polis calamity disappeared, his Star Protector Alkaid then broke through the magic barrier, and then the Dubhe star shone. All changes come from Polis."
The leader of the Shangqing sect said: "Polis is no other than the revered master of the Xuanyuan Sect, Wen Renhe. He was born a hundred years ago, followed by devil sword emissary unifying the devil path in just a few decades. If Wen Renhe is not eliminated, he alone will suppress the righteous path for thousands of years with his strength. "
"Originally, it was the Shangqing sect that should have dealt with Wen Renhe, but it seems that it will not be enough now." The leader of Biluo sect said: "We have to divide more experts and immortal weapons to surround and kill Wen Renhe."
The Master of the Nine Stars Sect said, "The will of the heavens is unpredictable, our sect is engrossed in predicting heaven's opportunities and we seldom fail. How can fate change so much in half a year? Is it because the heavens don't want us to see the outcome of the war between the righteous and demonic way?"
The abbot of Wuxiang Temple invoked a Buddha's name and put down the beads from his hand. A Buddhist staff appeared in his palm, and his eyes, which had been closed tightly, opened, the color of compassion was gone. His eyes were full of fierce light.
"The abbot wants to fight?" The leader of the Shangqing sect looked happy."With you on our side, we will get twice the result with half the effort."
After a secret meeting of the several sect leaders, they set a time for the attack and rushed back to their respective sects. The leader of the Shangqing sect walked out of the secret room and came to the Deacon hall, talking to Elder Qing Yue, "Baili Qingmiao advanced to Golden Core realm?."
Elder Qing Yue said everything, and the sect leader smiled broadly: "With Baili Qingmiao and He Wenchao here, the Shangqing sect will have successors. We don't need to worry about that. We can let go of the first battle. Younger martial brother Qing Yue shall stay at the sect and guard the Swinging Moon Bell to preserve strength of Shangqing sect. "
Qing Yue knew that there was no way to avoid this battle and said to the sect leader: "But these two children, Baili Qingmiao and He Wenchao, are having a disagreement."
"It's Baili Qingmiao losing her temper again, isn't it?" The sect leader chuckled: "A little child's emotions are just that, after she reaches the Nascent Soul realm, she won't be like this."
Neither Qing Yue nor the sect master took their quarrel seriously, but He Wenchao was struggling to coax Baili Qingmiao.
The reason for this was that after Baili Qingmiao returned to the sect, she directly checked the Patrol Records of her elder martial brother in the Deacon hall during her absence. For the first time, she and He Wenchao had been separated for such a long time. After being apart for so long, and having witnessed a battle between a scattered immortal and Mahayana cultivator in Wanli ice field, after she nearly died, she naturally missed her elder martial brother and she wanted to know what her elder brother had done during her absence from the sect.
The records of the Deacon's Hall were public, anyone could read them. Baili Qingmiao was first happy for her senior brother's promotion to the Nascent Soul realm. However the more she looked the more wrong it felt. He Wenchao went down the mountain every two days, the number of times was too frequent!
Baili Qingmiao used to stick to He Wenchao every day. She followed him almost every time he went down the mountain, so she knew very well how often he used to go. It was once a month. At this time Yao Wendan, senior brother Yao, came to the Deacon hall to collect the medicinal herbs for the Pill Pavilion and saw Baili Qingmiao staring at the Deacon's Hall record jade slip, so he approached his junior sister to congratulated her on her promotion to the Golden Core realm.
"Senior Brother Yao," Baili Qingmiao asked, "Have you seen Big Brother? I looked at the rotation schedule and it was supposed to be him patrolling the mountain today, why isn't he here?"
"Isn't he down the mountain? He often goes down the mountain recently and he gave miss Shu a house, so he probably has a guilty conscience." Yao Wendan was a character who couldn't mince his words, so he smoothly told all he knew and instantly regretted it, giving himself a slap.
the jade token slipped from her hands and fell to the ground: "What did you say, senior brother bought a house for Miss Shu?"
Just then, He Wenchao rushed back to the sect and heard Baili Qingmiao words. In the dark, he embraced Baili Qingmiao and said affectionately: "Sister, you've finally come back, these days, I was so worried about you, I missed you so much."
Yao Wendan, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, bowed his head and ran away, leaving He Wenchao and Baili Qingmiao to solve their problem on their own.
After interrogating He Wenchao, Baili Qingmiao rushed straight down the mountain and went to the town to look for Shu Yanyan to question her about what relationship she had with He Wenchao and He Wenchao followed closely behind.
After she rushed down the mountain away the Mountain Protection array, Shu Yanyan and the others noticed Baili Qingmiao's movement After she rushed down the mountain away from the protection array and the right protector immediately asked: "My Lord, what this subordinate should do?"
Wen Renhe warned: "Don't reveal your identity before the Massive Demon War, the rest is up to you."
"That's great!" Shu Yanyan clapped her hands and said, "I've had enough, I want to get out of here, I miss my well-behaved subordinates, wuwuwuwu..."
When she spoke she really shed tears, only Heaven knew that it was her first time staying with one man since she entered the way of Dao. She already absorbed enough of the thundering root and this mysterious power and Shu Yanyan strength has also been promoted to the ninth layer of the realm of void. She had long since grown tired of He Wenchao! If it wasn't for snooping around she wouldn't aggravate herself so much.
Wen Renhe and Yin Hanjiang looked at each other and left the room, using an array in the next room to secretly watch the development.
Wen Renhe also wanted to see what Baili Qingmiao would do, when she found out what He Wenchao had done.
The other room of Shu Yanyan's house was a servant's room. Shu Yanyan didn't hire a servant, so it had been left empty all this time with only a small bed inside. After Wen Renge sat down, Yin Hanjiang couldn't stand behind Venerable anymore, so he stayed beside him but Wen Renhe pulled him down saying "Sit".
Yin Hanjiang was flattered sitting beside the Venerable on the small bed. His Adam's apple quivered slightly, his eyes were drooping. He did not dare to look at their shoulders, which were only half an inch apart.
They waited for a while, but He Wenchao and Baili Qingmiao hadn't come yet, probably still arguing on the road. Wen Renhe felt the corner of Yin Hanjiang's lips move, as if he was trying to say something, so he said, "Say what you have to say."
Hearing his Lord's words, Yin Hanjiang didn't dare to conceal it and hesitantly asked: "Venerable the way of stopping killing is killing and guarding the world. Why do you want to provoke a war between the righteous and the demonic way and displease ( take a chance ?) the heaven?"
He wasn't a good man and he didn't feel uncomfortable, when he heard how Shu Yanyan planned to slaughter the group of righteous disciples. He also had no opinion with whatever his lord wanted him to do.
But there is still a bit of doubt deep inside his heart, wondering why his Lord was like this, because he already knew about the war between the Righteous and Demonic way. Couldn't it be avoided in advance? This was not the way of his Lord.
Normally Yin Hanjiang wouldn't ask questions, but now that the Lord has asked and his identity also has changed a little bit, Alkaid should not question the Polis, Yin Hanjiang decided to report truthfully, and let the Lord solve his doubts.
Hearing his question, Wen Renge didn't answer, but instead asked rhetorically, "Protector Yin, who do you think a cultivator is?"
Yin Hanjiang thought a little: " man of superior attainments?"
He had never thought about such issues, but he knew that ordinary people would call the high and mighty cultivators "Immortal Elders" and that the cultivators would also be called "Immortals". They also thought highly of themselves, and separated the mundane world from the world of cultivation, which was clearly in the same human realm.
"Wrong," there was no emotion in the eyes of Wen Renhe: " Whether it's you or me and the same goes for millions of cultivators of the righteous and demonic paths. They are just a group of thieves who are stealing the vitality of heaven and earth."
Yin Hanjiang had never thought that Wen Renhe would actually evaluate the cultivators like this.
"Look at the location of the Shangqing Sect," :Wen Renhe said, pointing to the distant mountain path, "Such an abundance of spiritual energy, there won't be any natural disasters for millions of years! How many creatures can this Spiritual Mountain nurture? If the human race were to build a city near here, they could raise millions of ordinary people in a thousand years, but there are less than a hundred disciples of the Shangqing sect above the Golden Core."
"The Great Dao is merciless and doesn't care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people." Yin Hanjiang pursed his lips, remembering the village that had been slaughtered, and for the first time, he expressed his view on heaven dao.
"Indeed, but the Dao of Heaven would not be willing to have cultivators seize the opportunity of Heaven. If there was no internal consumption between the practitioners, we will concentrate on Cultivating in isolation and not interfere with each other. After tens of thousands of years, the Qi between heaven and earth will be gone, and there will be nothing left, no more grass in this human realm, no more living beings." Wen Renhe said.
The war between the righteous and the demonic path is neither the righteous way to get rid of the demonic way, nor is it the demonic way to slaughter the righteous way and cause chaos in the world. Rather, they had discovered through their calculations that another Heavenly Calamity was coming, and that if they did not fight for internal friction, too many cultivators would sooner or later attract the Heavenly Dao turning it into a bloodbath. At that time, there will be no cultivators or human beings.
Stealing the heavens, cheating the heavens, and seizing the heavens is the nature of the cultivators. They chase a balance under the Heavenly Dao and survive between the cracks.
"In this battle, whether we live or die, we will be returning the Qi to the world. If I die, the place where my body is buried will give birth to countless living creatures in a hundred years."Wen Renhe said
He looked indifferent, not caring about his life and death.
Yin Hanjiang felt a pain in his heart and grasped his magic sword, saying: "This subordinate will not let His Lord die."
"This Venerable knows."
The Yin Hanjiang of the book proved his loyalty to Wen Renhe with his life.
Wen Renhe patted the back of his hand and said in a rare warm voice "If this Venerable goes, you can come accompany me."
Don't live like in the book, and live only for demons orders.
When Yin Hanjiang heard these words of Wen Renhe he actually unexpectedly showed an expression of relief and solemnly said, "Thank you very much, my Lord."
