The second level requires five years. The third level is the dividing line of true cultivation; those with mediocre talent remain stuck here for life, while those with better potential need fifty or sixty years. Only when one reaches the fourth level can one ride a sword and soar through the clouds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiji Xuanqing Dao has three major realms, and the Yusheng Realm consists of nine levels. What Master Cangsong is now explaining to Gu Qing is the first level of Yusheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing sat cross-legged on the ground, activating the true method. The primordial energy of heaven and earth flowed in with his breath, responding to his will, instantly coalescing into a cool qi within his body that spiraled along the meridians and through countless acupoints. In moments, it completed one cycle, then a second, then a third. As the path of the qi became familiar, it flowed swiftly and naturally—thirty-six cycles were accomplished in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good! Good! Good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Cangsong, delighted to see Gu Qing achieve the first level in an instant, knew this was due to Gu Qing’s innate immortal body—and believed it was the result of years of guidance from Brother Wan. After examining Gu Qing’s body, he immediately began explaining the second level: “The second level of Taiji Xuanqing Dao emphasizes the interpenetration of form and spirit—refining the body’s qi until it becomes ever purer, until form and spirit are exquisitely harmonized and body and mind become one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing listened to Master Cangsong’s recitation of the incantations, palms facing heaven, and followed the method. In the Tang world, he had already reached the Realm of Shattering the Void; his body had been transformed by the utmost yin and yang immortal qi, making him inherently aligned with the Dao. Upon hearing Master Cangsong’s explanation, he immediately applied the method. After about half an hour, the technique was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What normally takes five years to cultivate, Gu Qing accomplished after pretending to practice for half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Master Cangsong was stunned once again by Gu Qing’s innate immortal body and immediately began explaining the third level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third level emphasizes the union of spirit and qi, causing the surrounding energy to stir and swirl spontaneously. The key to this realm is “spirit.” Gu Qing’s Dao Heart Seed Demon Method already used spirit to govern matter; reaching this level came as naturally as water flowing downhill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hours later, wherever Gu Qing’s gaze fell and wherever his hand reached, everything around him stirred with latent energy—the third level was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immortal body—no wonder it’s called an immortal body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Cangsong was both astonished and delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most crucial figure in the Qingyun Sect’s revival from decline was Master Qingye. Within a year of joining the sect, he had fully mastered its Daoist arts and sword techniques. By the second year, even his own master, Wufang Zi, could barely match him in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a prodigy, once known only in legend, Master Cangsong had now witnessed with his own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, Master Cangsong revealed everything without concealment, explaining each method of the Yusheng Realm, directly transmitting all knowledge from the fourth to the ninth levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qi Hao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gu Qing absorbed the secret teachings, Master Cangsong called out: “Bring the Zhanlong Sword!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhanlong Sword was the sword once wielded by Wan Jianyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao, clad entirely in white, with a handsome face, had been renowned in the Qingyun Sect for sixty years as the foremost disciple beneath Xiao Yicai of Tongtian Peak. Now summoned, he arrived holding the Zhanlong Sword, saw Gu Qing seated cross-legged, and beside him, the delighted Master Cangsong—his gaze held quiet confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Cangsong took the Zhanlong Sword, gazing at its emerald blade, shimmering like water, and was reminded once more of Wan Jianyi. A hundred years had passed—the Zhanlong Sword now had a new master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Qing, this sword is yours now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Cangsong handed the sword to Gu Qing, his eyes burning with fervor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sword belonged to Brother Wan—it rightfully belonged to Gu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing accepted the Zhanlong Sword calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, Brother Gu Qing has only just joined today—why give him the Zhanlong Sword?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao harbored no ill intent—only pure curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao knew Gu Qing had been brought to Longshou Peak and summoned, but granting a flying sword required at least the fourth level of Yusheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Cangsong’s stern face beamed with joy, about to speak—when Gu Qing spoke softly beside him: “Brother Qi is right. I am unworthy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did I say you were unworthy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao was about to reply, but saw Master Cangsong’s smile vanish, his gaze turning cold upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you questioning your master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Cangsong said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Jianyi was Master Cangsong’s white moonlight. Qi Hao could question Master Cangsong—but not anyone or anything tied to Wan Jianyi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao’s face changed instantly; he stammered apologies, but as he lowered his eyes, he saw Gu Qing, behind Master Cangsong’s back, smirking at him in provocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Qi Hao feel sick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Cangsong dismissed Qi Hao, turned, and watched Gu Qing holding the Zhanlong Sword, examining it closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I did deliberately provoke Qi Hao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his inspection of the Zhanlong Sword, Gu Qing set it aside and looked up, meeting Master Cangsong’s probing gaze: “Only then will the disciples of Longshou Peak truly challenge me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao, viewed solely through the full text of Zhuxian, is flawless. The only thing that irritates people is that he stole Tian Ling’er, Zhang Xiaofan’s junior sister. But Xiao Ding writes differently from Jin Yong: in Jin Yong’s novels, any female character who shows interest in the male protagonist—whether she changes her heart or the secondary male character covets her—always meets a bad end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Zhuxian, Qi Hao took Tian Ling’er away, and the two lived happily ever after, while Zhang Xiaofan fumed alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing provoked Qi Hao not because of Zhang Xiaofan, but simply because Qi Hao held high seniority and great strength on Longshou Peak, and everyone respected him. By provoking him, Gu Qing ensured the Longshou disciples would take issue with him—then he could truly test his mettle against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing’s martial arts and combat experience are rooted in the wuxia tradition; he needs time to adapt, adjust, and transform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gu Qing had his own resolve, Master Cangsong nodded slightly, lips parting as if to speak of Wan Jianyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The righteous qi of heaven and earth endures forever—not seeking to slay the Immortal, but to cut down demons and spirits!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring Master Cangsong, Gu Qing held the Zhanlong Sword and murmured softly. The emerald blade trembled faintly, as if responding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Cangsong gazed at Gu Qing, seeing the shadow of Brother Wan everywhere. After a few final words, he turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of a white moonlight is indeed great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Master Cangsong depart, Gu Qing quietly sheathed the sword, sat cross-legged, and activated Taiji Xuanqing Dao. The utmost yin and yang immortal qi of his Demon-Immortal realm poured down from his crown, merging into Taiji Xuanqing Dao. Yin and yang intertwined, primordial energy transformed, and the Great Brahma Sutra hummed faintly in resonance. For a time, both methods advanced side by side, climbing from the fourth level, and after a full day and night, both reached their peak at the seventh level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the limit for now…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1317,"2026-06-20T17:04:27.745Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9a1f12d31e1d2a98a494ff30371a251a05b0e517cdc9c5747a51fa270c32ac79","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-305","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-303",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
