Chapter 77: The Path to the Supreme Sect is established after a long struggle.

Enter the hospital.

There was nothing unusual inside, except that the old locust tree was in full bloom.

Go straight along the blue brick road until you arrive at the door of two small thatched cottages.

"This place is the former residence of our sect's founder. It can be regarded as the ancestral hall!"

Xijing’s words made Gu Qingyuan slightly stunned.

The founder of the Mikami sect is so miserable?
Xijing smiled. The door was not locked and opened easily. Inside there was only a square table, two benches and a stove connected to a brick bed in the corner.

"sit down."

Xijing was the first to sit on the bench. Perhaps because the mortise and tenon joints of the bench were not smooth, it made a creaking sound.

Gu Qingyuan quickly sat down opposite him and couldn't help looking around.

"But do you think it's a bit crude?"

Gu Qingyuan thought for a moment and said, "The great truth is simple."

"No need to flatter yourself. Although this humble room is shabby, it is indeed the place where the ancestor lives. It is much better than those places where you can't even find the roots." Xi Jing smiled. "But do you think that as the ancestor of the upper sect, you must have a high level of cultivation and be able to save your disciples from danger when necessary?"

"I was a little wrong." Gu Qingyuan did not hide it.

He reflected on it, when did he develop this habit of thinking? In his previous life, the elders beat the younger ones, and then the elders came. When the elders defeated the clan leader, the clan leader was defeated, so he dug out the ancestor to save his life.

This is a real world where people, things and events can all be traced back to their origins, but they cannot be viewed with my narrow perspective.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyuan shook his head and listened to Xi Jing's words.

"This place is the source of our sect. Our founder started here," Xi Jing sighed. "It's not quite right to say he started here. Our founder just had the idea of ​​establishing a sect."

"After founding the sect, he accepted seven disciples. Unfortunately, although he had great talent and wisdom, he lacked comprehension. He spent his entire life struggling to build his foundation. In addition, he toiled hard and fought with others. He died before he could even live to a full 500 years."

"The temple will be taken over by the third master, the most sociable disciple of the second generation, while the rest of the disciples will concentrate on cultivation."

Gu Qingyuan nodded. Being good at socializing is to maintain face, while concentrating on cultivation is to ensure the substance.

"Unfortunately, there were unexpected twists and turns. Strong men came and demanded offerings. The Third Master stopped the people who had not yet achieved success in their cultivation and negotiated alone. He was beaten and seriously injured. The enemy was powerful, so he had to swallow his anger. Later, the Third Master died of his injuries and there was no way to save him. Before he died, he planted a small locust tree behind the Taoist temple and was buried under the tree." Xi Jing looked up, through the wall, looking at something.

Gu Qingyuan knew that not far away, there was a large grove of locust trees, which were lush and green and growing well.

"After the Fourth Grandmaster took over, he pretended to be a vassal and gained a little respite, and then he had three generations of disciples. However, the path to immortality is bumpy, fighting against humans, beasts, and the heavens. It is not an endless joy, it is nothing more than a struggle to survive."

"Some of the masters went to explore the secret realms and never came back. Some fought with others and their bodies turned to ashes. They had to gather their clothes and build tombs. When their lifespans were drawing to a close, they passed away due to the five decays of heaven and man. One by one, generation after generation, they left behind only lush and green locust trees."

Gu Qingyuan felt a little heavy-hearted. The large grove of locust trees represented every deceased sage in Dadao Temple.

"Fortunately, among the seventh generation disciples, there are those who have practiced for a hundred years and finally achieved the Purple Palace. The strength of a Purple Palace is enough to support a sect for nearly a thousand years. We can find spiritual veins and seize spiritual mountains. Our Daoguan is growing stronger day by day."

"It was a lack of successors, unable to support the cause. When the Purple Mansion True Lord died, he used a secret method to pass on his skills and help the next generation of disciples improve their immortal foundation. In just fifty years, another Purple Mansion was established. Unfortunately, the secret method was extremely dangerous. The first Purple Mansion's primordial spirit was completely shattered, and he was unable to reincarnate, and his soul flew away."

"After that, my Dao Dao Temple became even more powerful. I gathered disciples and practiced magic. After three ups and downs and more than ten generations of effort, I finally achieved the status of the Third Supreme Sect."

As he spoke, Xi Jing stood up and said, "The Piao Miao Sect was originally founded by a sword-wielding boy of the Golden Dan Master. He obtained half of the true explanation of the sword way and used it to establish the sect. The Xia Ju Sect was the direct descendant of the Second Master. Relying on the power of the Golden Dan, no one dared to provoke the two sects, and they were all going smoothly. Only my Da Dao Guan, relying on the ancestors in the foundation-building period and generations of disciples who have dedicated their lives, has built up the power of the sect. People fear me and are in awe of me. It was all because of my sword and knife efforts." There are three Golden Dan in this world. According to the time when they achieved enlightenment, they are called the First Master, the Second Master, and the Third Master. Once the Golden Dan achieved enlightenment, they obtained the Dao Fruit, and the Dao Fruit was hung from the sky, transforming into a Heaven Beyond Heaven with the same lifespan as the Heaven and Earth. The three Golden Dan have endless lifespans, and are devoted to comprehending the Dao in the Heaven Beyond Heaven, and will never appear in the world again.

“The road ahead is long and arduous, but you will eventually achieve the status of a great leader. I admire you very much.” Gu Qingyuan stood up and bowed.

"Hehe, I'm not saying this to ask you to flatter me. I just want to tell you that seeking immortality is difficult, and achieving the Purple Palace is even more difficult. It may take seven or eight generations to achieve a Purple Palace. But only by achieving the Purple Palace can you stir up the general situation. I see that you are still young and have only practiced for a short time, so why are you so anxious to achieve the Purple Palace?" Xi Jing raised his hand and motioned Gu Qingyuan to sit down.

Gu Qingyuan was slightly stunned. There is a saying in the cultivation world that the sooner you achieve foundation building, the better. If you achieve it too late, your Qi and blood will be depleted, and it will be difficult to achieve an immortal body. On the other hand, the sooner you achieve Purple Mansion, the better. With a strong accumulation, you can soar into the sky.

He thought about it and finally came down to a sense of security. In his previous life, Great Xia had not suffered any hardships and achieved the throne in just a few years. He came across the world, but he did not expect the gap between the two lives to be so huge. He fell to the bottom. In order to save his life, he dared not indulge in pleasure or slack off. After all, he lacked strength and had too strong a sense of crisis.

"Please help me, senior." Gu Qingyuan finally understood that Xi Jing came here to dissuade him, fearing that Gu Qingyuan was rushing into it. The advancement to the Purple Mansion was different from building a foundation. There was no turning back. If you succeed, you live, but if you fail, you die.

In addition, Xi Jing also wanted to explain the mysteries of Zifu. There are two paths, and it depends on how Gu Qingyuan chooses.

Gu Qingyuan naturally chose the second option. He had accumulated enough knowledge, and was not inferior to anyone with his basic understanding. His research on calamity energy had stagnated, and he had not made any major breakthroughs because he had no strength to support it. He urgently needed enough strength to open up new horizons.

"That's fine."

Xi Jing took down the sword with a square sheath behind him and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

"Sword?" Gu Qingyuan hesitated as he looked at the huge sword with a sword head.

"Yes, of course it's the sword." Xi Jing said mischievously, with a smile flashing in his eyes.

“But it’s also a magical power!”

Supernatural power? Purple Mansion Supernatural Power?
“Is this a magical power?”

Gu Qingyuan looked at the sword from head to toe. The scabbard was not made of iron but heavy wood, and there was nothing magical about it.

"That's right." Xijing tapped the table with his finger, and a white light illuminated the room. A sword was unsheathed, and it seemed to have intelligence, and it circled around Xijing intimately.

"If you want to achieve the Purple Palace, you must first understand the essence of supernatural powers."

Seeing that Xi Jing was about to reveal some real stuff, Gu Qingyuan immediately sat up straight.

"To break through the Purple Mansion, one needs to go through three levels, each of which is dangerous. The first level is to shatter the immortal foundation. Once the immortal foundation is shattered, most of the cultivation will be gone, and the cultivator will be at his weakest, so he must find a hidden place."

Once the immortal foundation is broken, it is difficult to turn back. The only way is to break into the Purple Palace and find a way to survive.

"Break the immortal foundation and lead it to the bottom of the sea of ​​qi. You need to lead hundreds of spiritual objects to refine it, transform the immortal foundation into a palace foundation, open up the sea of ​​qi, and form an illusory space called the purple palace. This level tests your magic power. It is difficult to succeed if you are not strong enough."

"When building the foundation of the palace, several main materials need to be gathered from all directions to stabilize the Purple Palace. This is the Virtual Palace. Do you have any arrangements for this?" Xi Jing asked.

"I am a wood element immortal, so I can refine the five elements spiritual objects and achieve perfection of the five elements." Gu Qingyuan had a plan in advance. Although he was extremely poor, Dongquan was wealthy. He had already prepared elixirs, spiritual objects, and spiritual veins to restore his magic power.

"Although the circulation of the five elements is not as good as the method of the moon and the sun, which is extremely powerful, it is moderate and peaceful, and can be regarded as top-notch." Xijing nodded.

As he was speaking, someone shouted outside:

"Uncle Xijing, Kongming wants to see you!"
