Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman-Chapter 667 - 363: Taixu Sect, Killing to Protect Life!

"This Emperor Canghao is quite an interesting cultivator."

The movements of Qingfeng Sect were all within Su Ping’s grasp.

He knew that the other party had already tacitly acknowledged his presence.

In one night’s effort, Su Ping finished perusing Qingfeng Sect’s cherished collection and casually made a copy to place in the grand library.

This could be considered as contributing his part to preserve Qingfeng Sect’s Dharma Vein.

After perusing this small sect’s foundation, Su Ping then saw the Emperor’s Edicts that even a minor sect like Qingfeng Sect could accept.

It was a Jade Scroll left behind by Emperor Canghao himself, infused with Divine Power.

The content, at least in tone, seemed quite populist.

That dignified and mysterious emperor cautioned the cultivators of Canghao Realm in the Jade Scroll, emphasizing the importance of cultivating one’s heart realm and to abide by the rules he set over the years.

But then, instead of directly threatening the cultivators with force if they disobeyed, the emperor explained in detail the reasons behind these rules.

Thereby reiterating that he truly had the best interests of the Canghao Realm at heart, that he was advocating for a better future for all cultivators.

He spoke of the importance of treating mortals well, not only because they are a new source of blood for cultivators,

but also emphasized the influence of the human heart on the world’s consciousness and its effect on Evil Demons.

Only by maintaining a prosperous era in the Canghao Realm could the likelihood of calamities caused by Evil Spirits be reduced.

Only then could the pressure from the external Evil Demons be minimized as much as possible.

"A king who speaks of reason, eh?"

"But in the end, beyond the high principles, it’s still about who gets the resources."

"And in this regard, judging from the history of Qingfeng Sect since its inception,"

"the resources it has submitted to the Dacang Immortal Dynasty have actually gradually increased over the last hundred years."

"So being conciliatory as a primary strategy turns out to be necessitated by circumstances, after all, the Canghao Continent is simply too vast."

"Sects are too numerous and diverse, and at times, to win over the people’s hearts, the emperor must even allow his subordinates to establish new sects."

"Even a Child of Destiny can only seek to gradually acquire their resources, opting for a slow-boiling frog approach."

"Such an open strategy, when applied to the history of Blue Star, tends not to have a high success rate because the subsequent executors often fail to follow through."

"But in this Immortal Cultivation World, especially in the case of a Great Power like Emperor Canghao, it can indeed be implemented consistently over thousands of years and ultimately yield results."

"Sadly, time doesn’t wait for anyone, and despite the emperor’s good intentions, the outside world isn’t granting him enough time to complete this grand undertaking."

"The surface calm of Canghao Continent also cannot be maintained for much longer."

Upon thinking of this, Su Ping let out a soft sigh.

After thanking the Reward and Punishment Elder of Qingfeng Sect and casually handing over a Foundation Establishment demon beast he hunted during his descent from the mountain, compensating for his entry and study of the Book Pavilion’s Formation and reading of all its scrolls,

Su Ping left Qingfeng Sect and the small city.

Armed with local knowledge he gained, he began his new journey as a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Having gained a clearer understanding of the Canghao Realm, Su Ping grew a bit bolder.

Upon entering a certain county, he even casually participated in a local auction.

After spending a significant amount of Spirit Stones, he acquired some seeds and saplings of rare Spiritual Medicine he had not come across before.

Su Ping spent a night indulging in music at a brothel, leisurely leaving the city afterward.

Then, Su Ping discovered that although he wasn’t targeted for robbery,

several duels had taken place just outside the city last night, their traces still lingering.

And these duels... It seemed like the Immortal Boats patrolling the skies everywhere didn’t bother with these matters?

"Well, apparently there’s a bit of a gap between what’s stated in the Jade Scroll and reality."

"Canghao Continent’s cultivators also engage in open and secret battles, risks and all."

Su Ping muttered to himself, with no interest in probing the matters behind these duels.

His primary target was, on one hand, the Ancient Divine Tree Jianmu,

on the other hand, it involved Cultivation Techniques for Returning to Void and beyond.

Specifically, Cultivation Techniques for the Harmony Realm.

Theoretically, the Canghao Realm should certainly contain various inheritances left behind by those Great Powers who managed to break through to the Harmony Realm and beyond.

This could also be discerned from the message informed by the Heavenly Tathagata.

The top sects in the great worlds almost all possess so-called Immortal Relics!

These are like the Sky Flipping Seal, crafted by Great Powers and Immortals at or above the Harmony Realm.

Under the right conditions, they can unleash the power of the Harmony Realm.

Even the Heavenly Tathagata’s original body wouldn’t want to confront such power head-on.

The ability of Canghao Realm to withstand until now owes much to those relics.

Su Ping had no particular desire for those things, simply curious, wanting to see if he could draw upon them for reference, to enhance his own knowledge and foundation.

"In the Canghao Realm, Ancient God Jianmu is known as the Sky-reaching Divine Tree."

"Originally, it was an Ancient treasure of the Taixu Sect, the foremost sect from Ancient Times."

"Although it has long since decayed and withered, devoid of anything miraculous,"

"it is still strictly guarded by the Taixu Sect, the area around it designated as a Forbidden Land."

"However, the good news is that Taixu Sect is no longer the number one sect of the Canghao Realm from those days."

"After multiple internal upheavals and external disasters, Taixu Sect has split into several sects of varying sizes. In fact, the sect that inherited from Taixu Sect has not produced a Returning to Void Perfection True Monarch in a thousand years."
