145: Chapter 144 Preaching

In the room, the creaking sound rang for a month, and bursts of heavy breathing came from time to time.

A mature woman's voice rang out,

"Qingxuan, give me another Butian Technique."

"You still want more?"

"Hurry up, don't make this lady lose her temper!"

"Fine."

Following that, the sounds rang for another three months.

In the end, Ye Qingxuan lay on the bed, looking blankly at the ceiling.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

Bai Yuekui's face was flushed, and she leaned into his arms with a look of satisfaction.

Sword Intent surged within Ye Qingxuan's Sea of Consciousness, and instantly, his Sea of Consciousness became entirely clear.

"Fortunately, this Daoist priest is a Cultivator; otherwise, at this rate, in less than half a year at most, I would have turned into a dried corpse."

Looking at the person in his arms, Ye Qingxuan cupped her cheeks, and a point of light lit up between his brows, instantly transmitting a wave of information into Bai Yuekui's mind.

Bai Yuekui was stunned for a moment, carefully examining the content in her mind. There were only a few dozen words in the opening, and everything else behind it was shrouded in thick fog.

Bai Yuekui could be certain that she had never seen these characters before, yet she could instantly understand what they meant at a glance.

"Nine Breaths to Absorb Qi?"

Bai Yuekui looked up at Ye Qingxuan, asking with doubt in her eyes.

Ye Qingxuan raised his hand and patted Bai Yuekui's perky buttocks lightly, then explained,

"This is one of the Thirty-Six Tiangang Methods, Nine Breaths to Absorb Qi, which is very suitable for you. We still have nearly forty years left, so you can comprehend it well."

After hearing Ye Qingxuan's explanation, Bai Yuekui abruptly sat up.

The milky-white breasts swayed, making Ye Qingxuan dizzy for a moment.

Bai Yuekui cried out in alarm: "The Thirty-Six Tiangang Methods? Isn't that a legendary top-tier great Divine Ability? If you pass it on to me, won't it attract bad Karma?"

Her worry was not redundant; the cultivation world had always valued karmic entanglements, and the Legacy of such ancient great Divine Abilities was even more likely to generate Karmic Obstructions.

Ye Qingxuan rolled his eyes helplessly: "My good sister, now your Luck and mine are connected, and we have long since merged into one. What is mine is naturally yours, why worry about these things?"

Pausing for a moment, he continued: "I have stored all my experience and memories of breaking through the Body Integration Realm into your Sea of Consciousness and temporarily placed a Seal on them. When you go back to break through your Realm, you can retrieve and comprehend them yourself."

"Mwah!"

Filled with great joy, Bai Yuekui cupped Ye Qingxuan's face and planted a heavy kiss on him, then immediately got up, put on her clothes, and walked out of the room swaying her slender waist.

Ye Qingxuan got up, watched her retreating figure, shook his head helplessly, and muttered inwardly: "This white-haired girl tosses me aside the moment she's done."

He also knew that Bai Yuekui was going into seclusion to comprehend the Divine Ability. Pondering for a moment, he raised his hand and flicked out two rays of golden light, heading straight for the seclusion grounds of Lin Lei and Duyuan.

He couldn't favor one over the other; the Nine Breaths to Absorb Qi Divine Ability was equally suitable for the two of them.

This was a top-tier breathing Divine Ability. Nine breaths at a time, it absorbed the Heaven and Earth Origin Spiritual Qi, quickly restoring true essence, stabilizing the Dao Foundation, harmonizing one's primordial yang, and nourishing the Divine Soul and Physical Body. It was suitable for all Cultivators to consolidate their Foundation and nourish their Origin.

Even if passing on this Legacy bred Karma, their future cultivation Foundations would be enough to withstand it. Besides, since it was sent out by himself, all Karma would ultimately fall upon him.

According to Ye Qingxuan's understanding of the various mighty figures in the Upper Realm, the other party would not mind this.

Lin Lei was exceptionally talented and could at least Cultivate into a Golden Immortal, with hopes of impacting Daluo as well; Duyuan had Buddhism backing him up, and even more so, the Dragon-Taming Arhat was acting as a guarantor for him, so no disasters would arise.

The two rays of golden light ignored the Restriction barriers and fell straight into the Seas of Consciousness of Lin Lei and Duyuan who were in seclusion.

The two were startled, thinking that Ye Qingxuan was going to beat them up! Duyuan's cries for mercy almost blurted out.

As the information in their Seas of Consciousness unfolded, the two of them finally reacted and hurriedly probed the Legacy in their Seas of Consciousness. After seeing the content clearly, wild joy instantly surged into the depths of their hearts.

This is a Tiangang Divine Ability?! Without the slightest hesitation, the two immediately calmed their minds and fully comprehended it.

Time slowly passed, and the three-hundred-year time limit arrived in a flash.

Rolls of deep Daoist sounds exploded simultaneously from the three seclusion locations. The auras around Bai Yuekui, Lin Lei, and Duyuan surged violently, firmly stuck at the limit of the Half-step Integration. Their inner Dao Foundations were in Perfection, and they could take the final step at any time to break through to the Body Integration Realm.

The kitten was still fast asleep, while Xiao Jiu had successfully made a Breakthrough thirty years ago. At this moment, the aura on its body was still steadily and continuously rising.

Ye Qingxuan saw through the reason at a glance: after Xiao Jiu's Breakthrough, it triggered the dormant Holy Spirit Origin Legacy.

Without much interference, he directly cast the Teleportation Art, sending Xiao Jiu into the core area of the pagoda where the Spiritual Qi was most abundant for quiet cultivation.

"The three hundred years are up, it's time to go out!"

Bringing Bai Yuekui, Lin Lei, and Duyuan along, Ye Qingxuan's figure flashed as he stepped out of the pagoda and appeared in the outside world.

As soon as the figures of the four appeared between heaven and earth, a cold and loud System prompt instantly resounded across the entire Blue Star.

[Ding! Detected that the Chosen Ones have left seclusion, the National Destiny Space is reopened!]

Over on Blue Star, ever since Ye Qingxuan entered the National Destiny Space for seclusion, a full month had already passed in reality.

In these short thirty days, the situation in the world had undergone earth-shattering changes. More than thirty countries that supported the devils in restoring their nation were all liquidated by Ye Qingxuan during the National Destiny tasks, directly resulting in their destruction;

Including major powers like the United States, Britain, France, and Romantic Country. During this month, the Taotie Legion ran amok across their territories, yet they could not leave their national borders no matter what.

At this time, those countries had less than one percent of their population remaining.

The remaining neutral nations and those unfriendly to China failed their tasks one after another, their National Destiny values were heavily deducted, and natural disasters occurred frequently within their borders. Floods, earthquakes, and plagues followed one after another, and the original pattern of Blue Star ushered in a complete reshuffling.

On the other hand, countries that had aligned with China early on and hugged China's thighs tightly enjoyed favorable weather, bumper harvests, and continuously rising National Destiny within their borders.

The high-level officials of various countries pondered day and night, intending to directly merge their entire countries into China once this round of National Destiny tasks ended.

During this month, heads of state frequently rushed to Zijin Mountain to constantly consult with China's high-level officials on matters related to the merger.

Everyone in China's cultivation world was holding their breath. Everyone knew that Ye Qingxuan and the others had three hundred years of time to Cultivate in seclusion within the National Destiny Space.

Many people in the cultivation world privately guessed that this thief of a monk, Duyuan, might have directly broken through to the Body Integration Realm after three hundred years of bitter cultivation, so everyone was practicing meditation and cultivation with all their might.

The wave of nationwide cultivation swept across the country. Regardless of men, women, old, or young, everyone concentrated on cultivation at home this month, and pedestrians were rarely seen on the streets and alleys.

The globally resounding National Destiny prompt suddenly rang out, shocking the hearts of hundreds of millions of citizens.

Citizens with the conditions immediately turned on their TVs and computers to flood into the global livestream room; those who were meditating and cultivating directly drove their Mental Energy to connect to the livestream light screen, locking their gazes tightly on the four people leaving seclusion in the image.

The bullet comments in the livestream room instantly flooded the screen. Rows of gilded golden bullet comments were particularly eye-catching, and at a glance, they were issued by Cultivators from the cultivation world.

[This thief of a monk Duyuan, this aura? Half-step Integration? Are you kidding me?]

[Fellow Daoist Zhou, you didn't see it wrong. It's the limit of Half-step Integration, just like Fellow Daoist Qingxuan back then. His Great Dao Foundation is in Perfection, and he deliberately suppressed his Realm, intending to break through to Body Integration after returning to Blue Star!]

[I didn't expect Duyuan to walk ahead of all of us.]

[I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qingxuan's Heaven-Defying-stealing-sun Divine Ability can still be used after returning to Blue Star.]

[Senior Master Yuanxin said before that even if it can't reach the time flow rate of one day to ten years inside the space, one to ten is already Heaven-Defying enough.]

[We owe Fellow Daoist Qingxuan far too much Karma. If all else fails, we can ask our sect Elders to visit and borrow his heavens pagoda later.]

Looking at the bullet comments where their own Disciples casually demanded to borrow a supreme treasure without a care in the world, the Sect Heads had veins throbbing violently on their foreheads. Truly, prodigal sons felt no heartache when selling their ancestors' land!!

Yet in their hearts, they were incomparably expectant. With a time ratio of one to ten, if it could be borrowed, it could at least save ten times the cultivation time.

Ordinary netizens in the livestream room looked at the golden bullet comments from the various Cultivators, filled with doubts, and successively flooded the screen to ask questions.

[Half-step Integration? Master Duyuan cultivated inside for three hundred years just to rush from the Void Return Late Stage to Half-step Integration? This improvement looks way too small, right?]

Netizens who understood the industry immediately rebuked:

[Does the person above even understand cultivation? The Void Return Realm competes on comprehending the Dao. If you cannot comprehend the Dao, you might not even be able to move forward a single step after being trapped for thousands of years. Master Duyuan breaking through to Half-step Integration in three hundred years is already a top-tier Genius; this is the normal cultivation speed for Cultivators.]

Indeed, before reaching the Return to Void Realm, one could rapidly advance by piling up resources, purely relying on brute force; but once reaching the Return to Void Realm, ordinary Heaven And Earth Treasures simply had no effect, and one could only rely on one's own comprehension of the Dao.

It is completely normal for Cultivators to enter secluded cultivation for hundreds of years at a time, just for a trace of Breakthrough in the Dao Realm. Speaking of which, the auras of Lin Lei and Boss Bai are the same as Duyuan's; could they also have broken through to the Half-step Integration Realm?

In terms of Aptitude, Lin Lei was already superior to Duyuan, but how did Boss Bai simultaneously break through as well? Could it be that Daoist Ye gave her private tutoring alone?

Staring at the light screen, Lin Yao of Yaowang Valley felt her heart full of bitterness at Bai Yuekui's aura that faintly merged with the Dao, and she raised her hand to type out a bullet comment.

Do you even need to ask? It must be that Brother Qingxuan did... with her. Otherwise, with that white-haired woman's Foundation, three hundred years would at most push her to the Late Stage of Return to Void.

In the Heavenly Demon Palace, Yun Huan had also emerged from secluded cultivation. She stared fixedly at the livestream broadcast, nearly driven mad by jealousy, feeling deeply resentful in her heart.

"Why? Ah?! It's fine that that old woman Li Ningshuang is ahead of me, but even Bai Yuekui... Damn it!! What on earth does Ye Qingxuan see in her? Are her legs longer than mine or are her breasts bigger than mine???"

With nowhere to vent her overwhelming unwillingness, Yun Huan could only harbor secret anger, putting on a display of impotent rage.

Watching his own Disciple's display of impotent rage, Li Qiye calculated inwardly, a perverted smile unconsciously appearing on his face.

"There's a chance!"

Muttering to himself: 'That girl Yun Huan has always been thinking about Ye Qingxuan. Later, I must go find Master Yuanxin to discuss this thoroughly. If worst comes to worst, even if I have to drug her, I, your father, will send Yun Huan right into Ye Qingxuan's bed!'

Hearing their Sect Head talking to himself in a low voice and catching a glimpse of his somewhat bizarre smile, the surrounding Elders of the Heavenly Demon Palace collectively and quietly took two steps back.

Some looked up at the sky, while others stared down at the ground, all pretending as if nothing had happened and trying their best to minimize their presence.

They knew their Sect Head's personality all too well—he acted without any scruples and had an extremely thick skin. If they were caught gossiping about his weaknesses, they would inevitably be tripped up secretly in the future.

After reading the popular science explanations provided by various Cultivators, the ordinary netizens in the livestream finally understood the difficulties of cultivating in the Return to Void Realm.

CCTV Livestream—

The host responsible for the commentary this time was Little Nun from the Uyghur ethnic group. On the surface, Little Nun maintained a calm expression while hosting the livestream, but deep in her eyes, a thick sense of helplessness was hidden.

She had finally managed to look forward to a vacation, but Xiao Sa had actually teamed up with Squirrel Kang, Sister Qing, and Sister Ping to get her drunk. Taking advantage of her drunkenness, they coaxed her into signing a bunch of unequal treaties, forcibly dragging her in to work overtime.

Before long, Master Yuanxin, Celestial Master Zhang, and Zen Master Kongming flashed down together and descended into the livestream.

Li Qiye did not come. In his own words: 'Master Kongming, since you've finished what's on your hands, keep an eye on this place for me. I need to go back and coax my own Disciple.'

Seeing the three big shots arrive, Little Nun hurriedly stood up to bow and greet them.

Master Yuanxin waved his hand casually: 'There is no need for such formalities; just sit down and watch the livestream together.'

Celestial Master Zhang and Master Kongming exchanged glances, too lazy to reply to this thick-skinned Sect Head.

Having interacted with each other for hundreds of years, they were crystal clear about one another's temperaments.

National Destiny Space—

As soon as the four of them, including Ye Qingxuan, appeared, he spread his Divine Sense to sweep across the entire Earth.

Seeing numerous nations uniting and taking turns to pressure and provoke Huaguo, Killing Intent surged in the depths of Ye Qingxuan's eyes as he raised his hand and violently clenched his fist in the void.

With a resounding loud bang, on Earth, except for the living beings within the Yanhuang territory, all other foreigners were completely crushed by this force, utterly vanishing from the mortal world.

With a flick of his hand, he obliterated billions of living beings.

Ye Qingxuan turned his head to look at the three companions beside him: 'Alright, now we can summon the Heavenly Dao to come forward and assist us.'

As his voice fell, a giant purple vertical pupil materialized out of thin air, hovering beside the four of them.

Ye Qingxuan nodded gently towards Bai Yuekui, Lin Lei, and Duyuan: 'Let us impart the Cultivation methods first. You guys go ahead.'

Duyuan nodded slightly and spoke out: 'Since that is the case, this poor monk shall go first to offer a modest contribution.'

He raised his eyes to look at the hovering purple vertical pupil and bowed respectfully: 'I ask the Heavenly Dao to assist.'

As his voice fell, Duyuan sat cross-legged right where he was, golden Buddhist light surging around his body as Buddhist mantras were slowly chanted word by word from his lips.

"Buddha is the enlightened one. The so-called Buddha ultimately boils down to a single word: benevolence."

Borrowing the mighty power of the Heavenly Dao, the deep and resonant Buddhist chanting spread across the entire known Universe.

Everyone from the Angel Tribe—

Kesha: "Is this Cultivation? Buddha!"

Hexi: "How profound, it sounds a bit strenuous to understand."

...

On Demon One.

Morgana: "The Buddhist Dao? Unfortunately, it doesn't suit this queen!"

At Super Seminary, everyone in the known Universe was listening intently.

Using his Half-step Integration cultivation as a Foundation, Duyuan branded his complete Buddhist Dao, along with the chanting sounds, line by line into the underlying Laws of this world.

All living beings in the world only needed to concentrate and calm their minds to comprehend his Cultivation Dao on their own by following the imprint.

Time flowed quietly amidst the lingering Buddhist chanting, and a full day passed quietly by.

The people inside the livestream were all immersed in the Buddhist chanting containing the profound principles of Cultivation, unconsciously closing their eyes, sitting cross-legged, and Cultivating.

One day later, Duyuan slowly stood up and chanted a Buddhist name: "Amitabha. This poor monk has finished expounding his own Dao path. The remaining Buddhist scriptures will still require the assistance of the Buddhist Disciples of this world to organize and spread them."

Having said that, he bowed respectfully to the three of them: Ye Qingxuan, Bai Yuekui, and Lin Lei.

Ye Qingxuan waved his hand casually: "Alright, if you need to find people to help, go quickly."

Duyuan nodded in agreement, his body transforming into a dazzling golden light as he headed straight for the Lingyin Temple of this world.

Only three people remained on the field; Ye Qingxuan turned his head to look at Lin Lei.

Lin Lei stepped forward and said in a clear voice: "Big Brother Ye, it's my turn next."

A majestic and mighty force of vital blood burst forth from within Lin Lei's body, and waves of heat swept across all directions.

He looked at the vertical pupil of the Heavenly Dao and said in a deep voice: "I ask the Heavenly Dao to assist."

The purple vertical pupil flickered slightly as a response.

Lin Lei immediately manifested his own Martial Arts Origin, his voice echoing across the Universe: "Martial Artists mean to stop weapons and halt warfare."

In the chaotic times of antiquity, practicing martial arts was solely for survival; in times of flourishing civilization, practicing martial arts is to quell conflicts.

The Dao of Martial Arts does not seek externally; all power stems from one's own Physical Body, circulating vital blood, and a single force can break all the myriad Laws of the world!"

Time slowly flowed once more as countless living beings quietly listened to the true intent of martial arts, comprehending the infinite potential contained within the Physical Body.

When the imparting of martial arts concluded, the true intent of martial arts was also branded between heaven and earth.

Lin Lei withdrew the vital blood around his body, turned his head, and said to Ye Qingxuan: "Big Brother Ye, I plan to hand over the complete set of martial arts Cultivation techniques to the officials of this world and open them up to the entire populace."

Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Your martial arts threshold is extremely low, regardless of Aptitude or constitution, ordinary men, women, old, and young can all Cultivate. Just go ahead and deliver it."

Lin Lei's figure transformed into a dazzling stream of light, flying straight toward North Star.

The Yanhuang high-level officials in North Star saw Lin Lei flying over, and everyone wore joyful expressions, never expecting to harvest a complete universal martial arts Legacy.

On this side of the field, Bai Yuekui turned her head slightly and looked at Ye Qingxuan with a gentle tone: "Next, it's my turn."

Ye Qingxuan nodded gently: "Mhm, come ahead."

He raised his eyes to scan the purple vertical pupil of the Heavenly Dao nearby; the vertical pupil flashed slightly with a faint light, agreeing to lend a hand.

Bai Yuekui slowly stepped forward, endless Mental Energy flowing gently around her body, and her clear, resonant voice carried across the Universe with the power of the Heavenly Dao:

"The Dao I Cultivate has its core Foundation relying on life essence, also known as Innate Qi. The first Realm of the early Dao is Body Tempering..."

Time flowed quietly, and another full day passed. Bai Yuekui reined in the Mental Energy around her body. As the imparting of the Dao concluded, she stood up to the side, looking gently at Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Qingxuan stepped forward and calmly spoke: "Next, it's my turn."

After Duyuan, Lin Lei, and Bai Yuekui finished imparting the Dao, the myriad living beings of this Universe all held their breath and concentrated, filled with anticipation.

Everyone knew that Ye Qingxuan was the strongest, and in their hearts they immensely yearned to listen to his Dao.

Not only the living beings of the Universe, but the hundreds of millions of citizens of Huaguo on Blue Star also stared intensely at the light screen with burning gazes. This was the first time everyone had the opportunity to hear Ye Qingxuan expound the Dao with their own ears.

On Mount Mao Shangqing, however, a group of Disciples looked calm and collected, without any excitement at all, chatting softly among themselves.

"Just go ahead and listen. Junior Brother / Senior Brother / Junior Martial Uncle Ye has already expounded the Dao to us long ago; it just depends on how much you guys can understand."
