Sister is foolish; I didn’t just not know it—I’ve never even seen it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Heart Mirror +9】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she spoke, Shi Zhen’s note above her head, “Poor Little Zhou Brother,” instantly changed to “Zhou Brother as Smart as Me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but smile inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems Senior Brother holds extraordinary weight in Shi Shijie’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister flatters me—I merely happened to come across information about it, pure luck,” Zhou Qing laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao quickly added: “Senior Brother Zhou isn’t just learned—he’s got an incredible nose. Do you believe he can tell what powder we applied today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zhen’s cheeks flushed red; Zhou Qing felt deeply embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My nose isn’t that sharp—don’t listen to her nonsense,” Zhou Qing hastily explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zhen remained calm, then after a brief pause said: “How’s your sleepwalking lately? I’ve been searching for a solution these past days—I’ve made some progress.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhou Qing felt a warm surge in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then bowed deeply: “Thank you, Sister, I’m much better now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not go have a meal together? We’re right near Yushan Hall!” Shi Zhen suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing waved his hands: “No, no—I’ve got things to attend to, you two go ahead. I’ll take my leave!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Zhou Qing turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Qing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhou Qing reached halfway up the mountain, a familiar figure suddenly landed before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing who it was, Zhou Qing’s heart tightened, and he quickly bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greetings, Senior Uncle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Xuan nodded slightly, speaking gently: “How is your progress with the Azure Thunder Sword Art? I’m delivering a batch of Lightning-Attracting Talismans to the Exchange Hall—if you need them, I can slip you two secretly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing immediately waved him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re too kind to me—I can’t punch you, but I can avoid you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for your concern, Disciple may lack talent for this art—I’ve struggled for so long to even enter it, so I gave up. Besides, getting struck by lightning really hurts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing adopted a helpless, defeated posture, looking deeply embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, the Azure Thunder Sword Art was his greatest asset—he could never let others know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even during the Ghost City incident, he had used it only in the underground chamber; even Third Brother had never seen it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Gao Xuan’s face filled with regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a pity—this Azure Thunder Sword Art is top-tier. Even at the Nascent Soul realm, it can unleash tremendous power,” Gao Xuan shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing looked at Gao Xuan with mild surprise—and at his head’s note: “Fatted Lamb.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Azure Thunder Sword Art has three forms, corresponding to Foundation Establishment, Jin Dan, and Nascent Soul—yet Gao Xuan knew this so well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing could only smile: “I’ve disappointed you, Senior Uncle—I guess I’m just not cut out for it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Xuan said: “Don’t belittle yourself. If you don’t try, how do you know you can’t? Jin Leizong has an artificial Thunder Pool, and the Elder guarding it owes me a favor—if you’re willing, I can speak for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s face filled with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t surprised by the Thunder Pool—he’d already condensed the Thunder Sword Embryo; he had no use for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What confused him was why this fake Gao Xuan was so generous—willing to spend a favor so freely?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not even your direct disciple—why go to such lengths?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that the other faction is truly Jin Leizong—are you trying to send me straight into Hukou?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m just a pawn—is this really necessary?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing quickly said: “Thank you for your kindness, Senior Uncle, but Disciple truly is useless—no need. I’ve got things to do—I’ll take my leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Zhou Qing turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Heart Mirror +8】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A prompt tone suddenly sounded; Zhou Qing, walking quickly, turned back and saw Gao Xuan’s note now read: “Missed Opportunity, Little Brat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Xuan was still watching him; Zhou Qing could only offer a faint smile and quickened his pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way—this guy genuinely wants to find me a Thunder Pool to help me cultivate the Azure Thunder Sword Art?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is this fake Senior Uncle’s true intention?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First 【Dead Man】【Scapegoat】【Fatted Lamb】—now 【Missed Opportunity, Little Brat】—your impressions of me make no sense at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re insane!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at Xiao Ling Peak, Zhou Qing stared at the red token in his hand, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Scripture Library had no record of it, clearly this item was beyond Taiqingmen’s reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, that white skeleton—even after so many years of death—still radiated pressure stronger than his Master’s; the one who seized it, in fury, had no fear of karmic retribution and slaughtered an entire city in rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This item must be hidden—otherwise, it could bring disaster to the entire Taiqingmen!” Zhou Qing made his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet holding a mountain of gold yet being unable to unlock it left Zhou Qing deeply frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to store the spirit token in his storage space, he suddenly had an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the same object be identified twice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His daily 【One Identification】 hadn’t been used yet—why not try?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhou Qing focused his gaze on the token again and performed the identification, a new set of information, different from before, appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Inactive Key: One of the Nine Keys to the Divine Ruins Tiangong, still inactive. If kept at your spiritual core for three days, then marked with your blood essence, you will become its new master.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhou Qing’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really worked—so many 【Daily One Identification】 chances wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To discard it felt like a waste, yet to keep it risked exposure—if someone else had special means to sense it, he’d be inviting death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by fully mastering it could he feel safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Zhou Qing placed it at his spiritual core; as expected, thin threads of black-and-white energy, as if drawn, slowly wrapped around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lao Si! Lao Si!” Just as he finished, Yan Xiaohu pounded on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing opened the door and saw Yan Xiaohu, ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, did the Sect Master give you extra reimbursement?” Zhou Qing teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu waved his hand—reimbursement had been days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve got insider news—in a few days, the Seventh Imperial Prince and Ninth Princess of Shengwu Empire will visit our Taiqingmen,” Yan Xiaohu exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was surprised, then seemed to realize something: “Is the Ninth Princess here for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For me? Don’t joke—I can’t even look at her… wait, I mean, she can’t look at me? Listen, I’m the man she’ll never get. What I mean is, Senior Brother will emerge from seclusion—this Seventh Prince came for him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu spoke mysteriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu said: “You probably don’t know—the Seventh Prince and Senior Brother are rivals turned acquaintances; they’ve clashed many times. This visit? He’s cultivated to a new level and wants to settle the score.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing pondered, then asked: “So our Taiqingmen is now tied to the imperial family? Then how dare Cangyan Dao Palace secretly harm us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu patted Zhou Qing’s shoulder and sighed: “You’re still too young—you don’t understand the politics. Let me explain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu gathered his thoughts: “Cultivation realms are Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Jin Dan, Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, and Zhan Ling. Rumor says there are higher realms beyond Zhan Ling—but that’s too distant for us, so forget it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know everyone belongs to a cultivation country, including our Taiqingmen. Cultivation countries have tiers—do you know which tier we’re in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nodded: “Level Four Cultivation Country.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu said: “Correct. If a country produces a Zhan Ling cultivator, it automatically rises to Level Four, gaining more resources and territory. Our Shengwu Empire only reached this level three thousand years ago when the old Emperor accidentally broke through to Zhan Ling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But with only one Zhan Ling, Shengwu Empire became the weakest Level Four. To prevent being swallowed and to ensure mutual aid, the old Emperor spent vast resources and shared his cultivation insights, helping several top sects’ Patriarchs also reach Zhan Ling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today, our Shengwu Empire has at least thirteen Zhan Ling cultivators—firmly securing our Level Four status.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing felt profound emotion—he’d understood his environment somewhat even before becoming a disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering Taiqingmen, he learned far more through the sect’s resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Taiqingmen, the Sect Master and his Master were mostly Soul Transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few Supreme Elders were Soul Transformation peak—likely no hope of breaking through to Zhan Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The later the cultivation stage, the harder it becomes—unlike early stages like Foundation Establishment, which depend on talent, resources, and innate aptitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why would such a vast empire like Shengwu have only a handful of Zhan Ling cultivators—born only in the last few millennia?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu continued: “Shengwu Empire is vast—there are countless sects like ours, nearly all centered around Shengwu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for your earlier question, I can answer now: the current Emperor has many children, and each prince has some factional backing—mostly from military generals or their mother’s clan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The new Emperor strictly forbids princes from allying with sects, to avoid entanglement. For example—if the Seventh Prince defends Taiqingmen, can Cangyan Dao Palace just let it go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have backing? I’ll find someone with equal backing—or better yet, someone will come to me first. Who knows how fierce the princes’ secret rivalries are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhou Qing began to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An eye for an eye—this is how it should be understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This imperial prince targeted that one, and upon seeing this, the other princes took advantage, stoking the conflict to ensure both were weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Taiqingmen and Cangyan Dao Palace would merely be pawns sacrificed in their struggle to eliminate rivals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If everyone does this, how can the Shengwu Imperial Dynasty possibly develop? It would be reduced to a half-dead shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you watch your own legacy and family destroyed by your own sons, and an external enemy invades, do you think I’d still feel any loyalty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would you respond to the call and go to help?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If other cultivation nations secretly offer me sweet incentives, don’t you think they’ll stab you in the back at a critical moment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhou Qing’s thoughtful expression, Yan Xiaohu knew Zhou Qing understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this boundary—we won’t easily cross it, because it benefits no one, especially not our sect. But casual interactions among the younger generation are fine; otherwise, we’d all be strangers, and that’d be awkward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nodded, then studied Yan Xiaohu. “Senior Brother, I’m actually curious—where do you get all these rumors?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu chuckled. “Can’t help it—I don’t have much else, but I’ve got plenty of friends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should I send a message to Shi Zhen Senior Sister?” Zhou Qing mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu said, “Absolutely. Otherwise, our meals would’ve been wasted. Besides, why give a surprise when we can let her enjoy a few extra days? After all, we still don’t know what Big Brother’s thinking—let’s just stop here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing readily agreed with this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the next two days, Zhou Qing used [Daily Appraisal] to appraise a hen twice, but the information he received changed almost nothing from the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the appraisal effect varied depending on the object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the third night, as Zhou Qing cultivated, he felt something stir. He opened his eyes, and the token floated out from his spiritual core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed redder than before. Zhou Qing took a deep breath, then slowly bit his fingertip. A drop of crimson essence seeped from the wound and dripped onto the token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the token absorbed it, a strange heat surged from it, spreading rapidly through Zhou Qing’s entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly felt a peculiar connection forming between himself and the token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next instant, the token in his hand suddenly emitted an eerie red glow, followed by a terrifying suction force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zhou Qing could react, his consciousness pierced through endless void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the surroundings grew cold, and he instinctively went on guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he realize he had become a red spherical object, floating in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around him was utter darkness. Before him, a massive vortex slowly rotated, radiating an unfathomable aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vortex resembled an endless abyss—deep, dark, terrifying, and leading nowhere known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides it, three enormous, frozen scenes floated in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was inwardly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, out of the darkness, a green light sphere suddenly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh hey! After all this time, a new face!” The green sphere emitted a surprised voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the voice was deliberately muffled, making it impossible to tell if it was male or female.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the green sphere was an ancient character: 【4】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zhou Qing could react, another blue light sphere appeared nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Red? So someone got a red token. But this is way too slow—when will we ever gather all nine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue sphere also emitted a gender-neutral voice, full of sighs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On it was the character 【5】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem, I’m Gongsun Liu. May I ask your name, and where you’re from?” The first green sphere asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing frowned, studying the two light spheres, and a faint understanding began to form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The keys to the Shenxu Tiangong were different colors. Once claimed, one’s spiritual sense was drawn into this strange space, appearing as the corresponding color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at his own red sphere—and sure enough, it bore the character 【1】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the order red, orange, green, blue, purple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s lying to you. If you tell your name and location, your token will be stolen before long!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another voice spoke. Zhou Qing noticed, in the darkness to his left, a blue sphere had appeared, marked with 【6】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four, five, six—this order really is—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green #4 sphere fell silent. “#6, that’s not cool. We just got a new guy, and I was just joking anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhou Qing immediately grew wary of #4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue #5 sphere spoke: “If you know how to activate the token, do you think #1 is an ordinary person? Do you think he doesn’t understand the first layer of Shenxu Tiangong? #4, you’re just embarrassing yourself, hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>#5 laughed, while #4 stayed silent, seemingly too lazy to argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earlier kind #6 blue sphere said: “This is the first layer of Shenxu Tiangong. You must know that it will now project the most mysterious place you’ve ever seen, as a scene.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing looked thoughtfully at the three frozen scenes beside the vortex—he began to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this was only the first layer of Shenxu Tiangong. Clearly, this secret realm was far more mysterious than he’d imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a wisp of energy emerged from the vortex and landed on Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As spiritual energy wove through the air, the space welcomed its fourth scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three spheres immediately turned to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene revealed a red river, its destination unknown, floating with countless dead black crows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They radiated coldness and rot, sending chills down the spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the red river grew a massive ancient tree, withered and decayed, yet atop it, thirteen thick iron chains, like giant pythons, tightly bound a pulsing black heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each beat of the heart emitted a dull, eerie sound, echoing through the entire dark space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the giant tree stood six coffins, arranged in silent rows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing hadn’t expected the scene from his own cave realm to be projected here. So the other three scenes must be the most mysterious places these three had witnessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what use was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother—or sister? What place is this? Why does it feel so ominous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>#4 green sphere asked urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing chuckled inwardly—I want to know more than you do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he’d only seen this sight once, forcibly dragged in by Second Uncle, who used him as a vessel to extract it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“#1, invite me in to take a look, okay? You’re the only one who knows where it is, and even if there’s something valuable, I can’t take it. What do you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, #5 blue sphere appealed to Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was even more confused—what invitation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could you even enter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instinctively glanced at #6 blue sphere—at least so far, the impression it left was decent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing #1 remain silent throughout, #6 hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a newcomer, yet the scene he showed was terrifying. To escape such a place in reality implied immense cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he clearly knew how to activate the Shenxu Tiangong key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he wasn’t a newcomer, why was he silent, acting as if he understood nothing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After brief hesitation, he decided to share what he knew, hoping to build goodwill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Legend says Shenxu Tiangong belonged to an ancient, long-extinct Level Seven cultivation nation. It holds countless opportunities, divided into three layers. The first two are manageable—like now, we’re gathered here purely as spiritual senses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The third layer holds the true treasures—but it requires all nine tokens to be united to open.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The function of the first layer is to project the most mysterious place each token holder has ever seen.
