"If you're interested, in three months, send someone to the Sangnan Clan."

Those were the last words the old Daoist with the surname Zhong left for Xu Qing.

"I'll go." Xu Xuanhu volunteered.

The depths of the Heavenly River Dao Sect were unfathomable, and if his younger siblings went, it would definitely be very dangerous. Xu Xuanhu didn't want them to take the risk.

"You are the fourth-generation master of the Seven Kills Demon Palace, even if I agree to let you go, there are those who would be unwilling," the Demon King Protector said leisurely.

"Then what should we do?"

"This matter does not require your concern."

…

…

Yu Dynasty, Capital, Xu Residence study.

"So you plan to have me join the Heavenly River Dao Sect?" Xu Qingzhu asked calmly after hearing Xu Qing talk about the Heavenly River Dao Sect.

"If you want to defeat me in the future, this is the best opportunity," Xu Qing said softly.

"Do you want me to go?"

Xu Qing was silent for a moment, then said: "Your two brothers don't have potential in cultivation as great as yours. If they went, it would waste this opportunity."

"What about eldest brother?"

"He needs to first overcome his own destiny." Xu Qing sighed softly.

"So you haven't answered me yet, do you want me to go or not?"

Xu Qing: "I do."

"Then I'll go." Xu Qingzhu smiled brightly.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Now I finally know, father, that there are things even you can't grasp," Xu Qingzhu said softly.

Xu Qing: "Even if I were a god, I'm not omnipotent."

Xu Qingzhu: "Then you'd better work hard on your cultivation, otherwise, your daughter's future safety at the Heavenly River Dao Sect may not be guaranteed."

"Alright, I'll work hard." Xu Qing thought to himself that he and Qingzhu were probably the strangest father-daughter pair under the sky.

Xu Qing was well aware of the power of the Heavenly River Dao Sect. Although it seemed as if the old Daoist Zhong gave him a choice, in reality, there was no choice.

The little tricks he played could fool the Sangnan Clan but would definitely not deceive the old Daoist Zhong.

Moreover, Xu Qing keenly sensed that cooperating with the Heavenly River Dao Sect was their best opportunity to gain a foothold in the Jiuli World.

Alas, still too weak.

Xu Qing understood that even if he cultivated to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he would still be crushed when faced with a giant like the Jiuli Tribe.

So temporarily finding a backer was very necessary.

…

…

Heavenly River Dao Sect.

"Old Zhong, what is the background of the other party?"

"I only saw an avatar of the other party, but when I used Mystic Cave Divine Understanding to calculate, it turned out this person has a great karmic connection with the Pure Yang Dao Sect," the old Daoist Zhong was quite surprised.

When did the Pure Yang Dao Sect lay such a plan, he had no inkling at all.

What was even more astonishing was that this person carried a rich aura of calamity.

Throughout history, those with heavy calamity were figures of a certain era, most of whom could attain the Dao.

This could not help but move the old Daoist Zhong.

And given the connections between the Heavenly River Dao Sect and the Pure Yang Dao Sect, having this spare piece is very necessary. If the other side refused, the old Daoist Zhong would have to employ other means.

"It's a pity not to have seen the true form of the other party, otherwise I could calculate more things." The old Daoist Zhong regretted silently.

He always felt that there was a familiar aura about the other party, but for a moment, he couldn't recall it.

"Since the last Taixu calamity, the Pure Yang Dao Sect has wanted to join the ranks of the Four Great Daoist Sects. This person might be the key piece for the Pure Yang Dao Sect to break the situation. Last time the Pure Yang Dao Sect suffered defeat in the Jiuli World; this time they might want to get up from where they fell."

Su Qinghe nodded: "Among the Four Great Daoist Sects, the Supreme Dao is the most unshakable. The Taixu Dao Sect is the most mysterious, while our sect has the most talents. The Pure Yang Dao Sect only has the Bodhi Dao Sect as its target to push out."

The Bodhi Dao Sect is named a Daoist sect but is actually a Daoist school, and its philosophy is the unification of the three teachings of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism.

This aspect is very similar to the ancestor of the Pure Yang Dao Sect, but the Pure Yang Ancestor leans more towards Taoism, while the Bodhi Dao Sect leans towards Buddhism. Especially with that Bodhi Heart Lamp of the Bodhi Dao Sect, it's said to allow one to pass through hundreds of reincarnations in an instant, realizing one's true nature, and attaining the Dao on the spot.

It is indeed a rare and precious treasure that directly helps in elevating one's Spiritual Realm.

Of course, the effect of the Bodhi Heart Lamp simulates the fundamental Supreme Treasure of Creation in the Taixu Universe — the Taixu Mirror. Everything in the Taixu Universe was derived from the Taixu Mirror, and after the creation of the Taixu Universe, the Three Thousand Great Dao were stabilized quickly thanks to the Taiqing Bell.

One is the Supreme Treasure that creates the universe from the void, and the other stabilizes heaven and earth, clarity and turbidity, yin and yang.

But the Taixu Mirror has long since shattered and disappeared because its previous owner was a supreme figure attempting to break through to the Haotian Realm.

In the process of breaking through, they encountered a great calamity, bringing misfortune upon the Taixu Mirror as well.

Enhancing a cultivator's Spiritual Realm is just one of the functions of the Taixu Mirror.

The old Daoist Zhong said, "Over five hundred years ago, a wandering Daoist named Shakyamuni stayed at the Bodhi Dao Sect. Since he left five hundred years ago, the Bodhi Dao Sect has been sealed for a whole five hundred years. Recently I've learned that after this person left, the Bodhi Dao Sect saw the passing of eighteen Elders. As for Shakyamuni's whereabouts, now no one knows."

"No wonder the Pure Yang Dao Sect has always wanted to squeeze out the Bodhi Dao Sect. So there's this layer of reason too." Su Qinghe realized.

He was secretly awed, who was this Shakyamuni to bring such disaster upon one of the four great Daoist sects in the Taixu Universe, the Bodhi Dao Sect.

It's known that the Elders of the Bodhi Dao Sect are at least at the Heavenly Immortal level of cultivation.

Never mind that within the Bodhi Dao Sect, there is always a Da Luo overseeing it.

But he had never heard of a Da Luo named Shakyamuni in the Taixu Universe.

"You're surely wondering who this Shakyamuni is? I too am curious, although it seems the Pure Yang Dao Sect knows the origin."

"Did they tell you, Master?"

The old Daoist Zhong shook his head: "The other side said this is a peerless fierce person, best not to inquire."

Su Qinghe couldn't help but nod, indeed this is the case.

Even the Bodhi Dao Sect suffered at this person's hands, and if it were their Heavenly River Dao Sect, they wouldn't necessarily fare better.

The Taixu Universe indeed is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers; entities that even the Four Great Daoist Sects fear still exist.

Suddenly a thought struck him, "Could the person supporting the Tuyou Clan be related to Shakyamuni?"

The old Daoist Zhong: "This is also my concern. But as long as they have a connection with our Heavenly River Dao Sect, the rest will be easier to handle."

The Pure Yang Dao Sect clearly knows Shakyamuni's origin.

The person supporting the Tuyou Clan has a great karmic connection with the Pure Yang Dao Sect, so it's not surprising if they're related to Shakyamuni.

Moreover, the old Daoist Zhong suspects that the Pure Yang Dao Sect was involved in Shakyamuni's harsh actions against the Bodhi Dao Sect. It's just unknown what conditions the Pure Yang Dao Sect offered to move such a peerless fierce person.

…

…

"Eldest brother."

Xu Xuanhu met his sister in the Qing Shui Clan tribe and also saw his mother.

He had to admit, his sister resembled their father.

As for his own appearance, he took more after their mother.

However, Xu Xuanhu didn't know what his sister's mother, his aunt, looked like.

In the otherworld, seeing family always brought immense joy.

He couldn't deny, though, that his sister and Xu Qingzhu seemed to get along very well, talking and laughing in the Qingshui Clan, which alleviated the sorrow of parting.
