The Immortal Cultivation Dynasty

"Really? Then I want to learn!"

Fang Wang's eyes lit up, and he quickly said that his specialty was swordsmanship, mainly because he had always had a heart for wandering the world with a sword, and that a sword was a better match for a cultivator.

Just like the sword control technique, according to Zhou Xue, all cultivators can learn it, which shows the universality of the sword in the path of cultivation.

Without saying a word, Zhou Xue began to teach swordsmanship, and Fang Wang listened attentively.

after awhile.

After Zhou Xue finished speaking, she stared at Fang Wang.

Fang Wang frowned. He hesitated for a moment and said, "This sword technique is not right. Although I have never practiced immortal sword techniques, all techniques have similarities, let alone the same sword path. I feel that practicing this sword technique according to your method will not work."

The fact that he didn't even enter the Heavenly Palace is enough to prove that this sword technique is fake!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xue was not angry. Instead, her eyes revealed admiration. She exclaimed, "Incredible! I can now confirm that in addition to your talent, your comprehension is also exceptional. No wonder you were able to master the sword control technique to that level in just seven days."

"Now that you have reached the sixth level of the Qi Nourishing Realm, continue your cultivation. Don't rush into spells for now. Once you join the Taiyuan Sect, you will have to cultivate diligently for the first two years. In the early stages, focus on your cultivation level. The difficulty of the last three levels of the Qi Nourishing Realm far exceeds that of the first six levels, especially the level from the ninth level of the Qi Nourishing Realm to the Spirit Shaping Realm. The hardships involved are unimaginable to you at your current level. If you can achieve the Spirit Shaping Realm within five years, then you can choose any spell from the Taiyuan Sect."

When Zhou Xue revealed Fang Wang's cultivation level, Fang Wang was not surprised. After all, she was a reborn immortal, so it was normal for her to see through his cultivation.

Fang Wang feigned frustration and said, "If I can't see through it, wouldn't I have practiced this sword technique for nothing?"

Zhou Xue shook her head slightly and said, "I was just testing you. Your talent and comprehension are indeed extraordinary, but you are still just a mortal. Mortals have limited lifespans. Remember, cultivation is the most important thing. Don't rely on your excellent comprehension and spend most of your time exploring unorthodox methods."

Upon hearing this, Fang Wang had no choice but to give up.

He wasn't too disappointed, since the Xuan Yang Nerve naturally possessed the Xuan Yang True Fire, and if he applied it to sword control techniques and the martial arts he had mastered, it would be equivalent to the power of magic.

After giving a few instructions, Zhou Xue got up and left.

Watching her retreating figure, Fang Wang suddenly became very curious about her cultivation level.

His intuition told him that Zhou Xue had already embarked on the path of cultivation, and her cultivation level was not bad. However, she seemed to have mastered some kind of method to conceal her aura, which made it impossible for him to see through her.

After Zhou Xue closed the door, Fang Wang stopped thinking about it and continued his cultivation.

Cultivation can be addictive, especially when effort yields results.

……

Under the blue sky and amidst the green mountains, three horse-drawn carriages are moving forward. Surrounded by magnificent mountains, they appear extremely small, no different from pebbles in the eyes of the eagles in the sky.

Fang Wang leaned against the carriage door, holding the horse's reins, admiring the scenery along the way.

Thirteen days did not allow him to break through to the seventh level of the Qi Nourishing Realm, but his spiritual power increased significantly.

Recalling his parents' reluctance to part, Fang Wang felt a mix of emotions, but mostly excitement. It wasn't that he was cold-hearted; it was just that he had memories of his past life, and while he felt a fondness for the Fang family in this life, it wasn't to the point of being inseparable.

He had wanted to leave for a long time, but in this world that resembled ancient times, bandits frequently appeared outside the city. He had never left Nanqiu City since he was a child, so everything along the way now seemed novel to him.

Zhou Xue got out of the carriage, sat next to him, and admired the scenery with him.

"Just how big is this world? How much land does the Great Qi occupy in this world?" Fang Wang suddenly asked.

Looking into the distance, Zhou Xue replied, "It's very, very big. The Great Qi is just a drop in the ocean. I heard from that senior that there are even dynasties outside the Great Qi where everyone cultivates immortality."

In order to cover up the fact that she had been reborn, and to allow Zhou Xue to establish her prestige,

Now all the disciples of the Fang family know that she has a senior cultivator guiding her.

"Everyone cultivates immortality? How powerful would that be?" Fang Wang asked, his heart filled with longing.

Zhou Xue chuckled softly, "Perhaps the Great Qi will eventually transform into a dynasty of cultivation."

perhaps?

That's true!

After all, there were other people in the carriage, so Zhou Xue didn't dare reveal her knowledge and could only guess. Fang Wang naturally understood this.

The Qi Dynasty was able to transform from a mortal dynasty into a cultivation dynasty. No wonder Zhou Xue was willing to support the Fang family. Could it be that she wanted to establish herself in the future Qi Dynasty?

Fang Wang silently thought that perhaps Zhou Xue had other intentions, but he did not reject them. After all, it was not easy for a Celestial Venerable to support a force. Zhou Xue had not failed her fourth uncle Fang Zhen's kindness in raising her, which showed that she still had a bit of kindness in her heart. At least she was not the demonic cultivator he had imagined.

He had always been curious about why Zhou Xue was reborn. It couldn't have been because she was meditating and practicing martial arts that she was suddenly reborn, could it?

The two continued chatting as the sun gradually set.

As dusk fell, they stopped to rest by the mountain road near the river. The Fang family members began to gather firewood and start a fire, while Fang Wang found a place to sit down. He didn't have to do these trivial things; his only responsibility was to protect his clansmen.

Including Fang Wang and Zhou Xue, there were nine people in total. Among them was Fang Hanyu, who had become a first-class master at a young age. None of the three of them needed to gather firewood and start a fire; the other six were responsible for these tasks.

Fang Hanyu sat not far away, glancing at Fang Wang from time to time, as if hesitating about something.

After struggling for a while, Fang Hanyu gritted his teeth, got up, and walked to Fang Wang.

Fang Wang opened his eyes, looked at him, and asked with a smile, "Han Yu, is something the matter?"

Although Fang Hanyu was two years older than him, Fang Wang had the mind of an adult from birth, so he always addressed his peers by their first names, which Fang Hanyu was used to.

After that night, the two had no chance to speak. Even three days after leaving Nanqiu City, Fang Hanyu and Fang Wang only nodded to each other and did not talk.

"Fang Wang, Zhou Xue taught us the basic Qi absorption method. After half a month of practice, I have barely managed to cultivate spiritual power. Could you teach me sword control? I don't want to bother Zhou Xue..." Fang Hanyu said awkwardly, his eyes darting away, not daring to look at Fang Wang.

Fang Wang couldn't help but chuckle, stood up, and said with a smile, "Alright, Han Yu, I've been waiting for you to find me, but I've been waiting for so long. I thought you had forgotten me. When we were little, I would tell you to lie down, and you would lie down. Now that you're all grown up, you've become so aloof."

aloof?

Fang Hanyu couldn't help but smile. He had been used to Fang Wang using strange and unusual words since childhood, and he could roughly understand their meaning. His face flushed slightly, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "After all, it's been many years. Don't mention when we were kids, you made me crawl like a dog to find meat buns, I still remember that!"

The two brothers became acquainted and began to reminisce about their childhood.

After chatting for a while, Fang Wang saw that Fang Hanyu had completely relaxed, so he began to teach him the sword control technique.

It's worth mentioning that since she came out, Zhou Xue has been staying alone in the woods every night, without seeing anyone. Fang Wang knows that she is a reborn person, so he is not worried about her safety.

This is why Zhou Xue is far removed from the other disciples of the Fang family, which is one of the reasons why Fang Hanyu sought out Fang Wang to practice sword control techniques.

From that night on, Fang Wang would guide Fang Hanyu in cultivating the sword control technique every night. It has to be said that this kid is really a genius. After three days, he was able to make the wooden sword float.

This wooden sword is no ordinary sword; it is a specially made peach wood sword by that Taoist in green robes. It can be activated by spiritual power. All of the Taoist in green robes's inheritance was taken by Zhou Xue. When Zhou Xue heard that Fang Wang was teaching Fang Hanyu sword control techniques, she lent the wooden sword to Fang Hanyu.

"Hanyu-ge is really amazing!"

"I haven't even developed spiritual power yet. Sigh, the gap is huge."

"Hahaha, Han Yu is a genius. Didn't Zhou Xue say that if he cultivates a trace of spiritual power within half a year, he will be qualified to cultivate immortality?"

"The stronger Han Yu is, the more confident we will be when we reach Taiyuan Sect, and the more we can take care of each other in the future."

Surrounded by his clansmen, Fang Hanyu's usually stern face broke into a rare smile. He wasn't smug; rather, he was excited about his achievement. He turned his gaze to Fang Wang, who was standing by the lake not far away.

At dawn, Fang Wang and Zhou Xue stood by the lake. Looking at them from afar, the lake was shrouded in mist, like a fairyland. The two of them stood together, like a match made in heaven, as if they could ascend to immortality at any moment.

"Fang Hanyu's aptitude is indeed quite good, which is a pleasant surprise," Zhou Xue exclaimed. In her eyes, these Fang family members were not peers, but rather like her own descendants. After all, having met them in both her past and present lives, her age was even longer than the history of the oldest family in the Great Qi Dynasty.

Judging from these words, in the original destiny, Fang Hanyu would have died on the night the Fang family was massacred.

Fang Wang looked at Fang Hanyu, thinking this to himself, and a smile appeared on his face, happy for Fang Hanyu.

"How many days' journey is it to Taiyuan Gate?" Fang Wang asked.

He could already fly on a sword, but he was accompanied by seven clansmen, including two young girls. They were tired of walking for half a day, so they had to travel by carriage.

Zhou Xue looked at the young and inexperienced clansmen and replied softly, "We'll arrive in three more days."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "You should have noticed these past two days that we're encountering fewer and fewer villages. You're more likely to run into evil spirits and monsters, so be careful while you're traveling."

Evil?

Spirits or monsters?

Fang Wang wasn't nervous; instead, he became excited.

Let's test his Xuan Yang nerve!

As the sun rose, the Fang family's disciples, after a brief moment of excitement, began packing their belongings and continued their journey.

The mountain roads in this area are rugged, the trees are tall, and the flowers and grasses grow in abundance. The wisps of mist make the mountains and forests seem magical. As the journey is bumpy, the Fang family disciples who wanted to sleep also woke up.

At noon, Zhou Xue reined in her horse, stood up, and called out to the rear, "Everyone pack up and get off the vehicle. We'll proceed on foot from now on."

Each carriage has three people, who usually take turns sleeping: one person leads the horse, one person keeps watch on the surroundings, and the remaining person sleeps inside the carriage.

Soon, all the Fang family disciples dismounted. Except for Fang Wang, Zhou Xue, and Fang Hanyu, the other six carried luggage, including the two young girls.

Fang Wang couldn't help but glance at Zhou Xue. He knew that Zhou Xue was carrying the storage bag of the Taoist in green, but he wondered how much space was inside the storage bag.

According to Zhou Xue, storage bags, talismans, and flying swords are standard equipment for cultivators.

Zhou Xue drew the sword from Fang Wang's waist and cut all the reins of the three carriages in turn.

"What does this mean?" Fang Hanyu asked in surprise.

Zhou Xue replied, "They will be gone from Taiyuan Gate for several years and will not be able to return. They will not need a carriage to come back. Let them go, lest they be eaten by the monsters in the mountains."

Goblin!

Upon hearing this, the two young women from the Fang family turned deathly pale, as did the other four boys and young men.

Zhou Xue raised her hand and threw the sword, which flew through the air for three zhang and landed precisely in the scabbard at Fang Wang's waist. Everyone else stared in amazement at this move.

Fang Wang narrowed his eyes, his right hand trembling slightly, thinking to himself that this strength and speed were not simple. He was even more curious about Zhou Xue's current cultivation level.
