Chapter 506: Dragon Clan's Birthright, Heavenly Virtue
Yi Qingshan and the others acted swiftly. They first chose a location to build a house and then began recruiting children with spiritual roots from all over.
In just one short year, they had gathered over three hundred teenagers, both boys and girls, and then began to wholeheartedly teach them cultivation.
A hundred years later, after the first batch of disciples had grown, they officially established their sect, naming it the Heaven and Earth Sect.
There were already many sects with the same name in the world, but Yi Qingshan wanted there to be only one Heaven and Earth Sect. His ambitious declaration at the sect's founding ceremony was also heard by Gu An within the Dao Site.
Gu An merely smiled slightly, not taking it too seriously.
He didn't even bother to calculate the fate of the Heaven and Earth Sect, leaving a mystery as a source of excitement in life.
The four seasons in the Heavenly Spirit Great World were roughly the same. In early autumn of this year, Gu An lay under a tree, his hands behind his head, eyes closed, appearing to be asleep, but in reality, he was observing the Taixuan Sect.
After all, he had spent the first half of his life in the Taixuan Sect, and even after a thousand years, Gu An still had some lingering attachment to it.
He was currently paying attention to Long Qing.
Before leaving the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An had started to release the Returning Origin Divine Dao within Long Qing's body, allowing him to slowly regain his Qi Condensation talent.
Long Qing, who was born in the Nirvana Realm, had thoroughly recovered his true strength after a thousand years of cultivation. Under his leadership, the Third Medicine Valley became an extremely powerful force within the Taixuan Sect.
Everyone knew that he was raised by Gu An, and with his presence, the connection between the Taixuan Sect and the Dao Support Sword Venerable would never be severed. Even if their cultivation was several major levels higher than his, they would still try to curry favor with him.
Unlike Gu An's style of doing things, Long Qing transformed the Third Medicine Valley into a place that pursued strength, no longer retaining the leisurely and peaceful atmosphere of the past.
At this moment, someone was trying to persuade Long Qing.
This person was a Profound Origin Freedom Immortal from the Boundary Gate. Gu An had initially thought he was there to cause trouble, as he carried a strong aura of the Battle Court.
Unexpectedly, this person had loitered outside the Heavenly Spirit Great World for decades before infiltrating the Taixuan Sect, where he stayed for another few decades before approaching Long Qing.
He was currently telling Long Qing about the power of the Dragon Clan and its connection to the Battle Court.
Before, Tyrant Heaven Mechanism had allowed Long Qing to see many scenes from his past life, but those were just fragments of memories. When he truly understood his origins, his emotions became incredibly complex.
In Long Qing's pavilion, he sat in a chair, silent for a long time.
The Profound Origin Freedom Immortal waited for him to accept his origins.
Long Qing remained silent for half an hour before raising his eyes to look at the man in black and asking, "You've told me so much, but who are you?"
The man in black laughed and said, "My name is Candlesun, and I'm from the Battle Court. I'm a disciple of the master of the Battle Court. I've lived for far longer than you can imagine, and much of the history I've told you is what I witnessed personally."
Long Qing's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this. He wasn't scared into standing up but stared at Candlesun and asked, "Since you're from the Battle Court, why did you awaken my hatred for it?"
Candlesun smiled and said, "The Battle Court has gone astray, only thinking about how to please the Immortal Gods. I'm dissatisfied with this. I prefer the Battle Court led by Dragon Heart Emperor, as that's the true embodiment of the Battle Court's name."
As he spoke, his eyes revealed a longing and excitement.
Long Qing's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, unable to see through Candlesun's thoughts or discern the truth in his words.
Candlesun looked at Long Qing, raised his hands, and suddenly became excited. "Do you know why the Battle Court targets your Dragon Clan? It's not because you're the orthodox lineage, but because they fear your bloodline! No, they want to obtain your bloodline!"
Long Qing's expression changed, but before he could speak, Candlesun continued.
"In fact, the one who truly founded the Battle Court was the father of Dragon Heart Emperor, Dragon Battle. He also had another title, Heavenly Dragon Emperor. Without experiencing the tribulations of the Great Thousand World's epoch, he grew rapidly. Each time he fought, his strength would surge dramatically, or rather, the more lives he took, the faster he became stronger. Once, after slaughtering a Great World, he successfully transcended the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Dao within a very short time!"
"Dragon Heart Emperor also had an extraordinary talent, but he became enemies with the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, and after that, he stopped creating slaughter tribulations."
Candlesun became more excited as he spoke, and his eyes even began to glow.
"He could not only become stronger through slaughter but also resist heavenly might. Even after transcending the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Dao, he could successfully cross the tribulation in a single day. Such talent and birthright are enough to drive the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds into madness!"
Candlesun's gaze burned intensely on Long Qing, making the latter extremely uncomfortable.
Long Qing couldn't help but ask, "Do you mean the Dragon Clan inherited such talents and birthright?"
"Yes, the grandson of the Dragon Heart Emperor once inherited such talents, and this is also the reason why the Dragon Clan is on the path to decline!" Candlesun replied, his eyes roaming over Long Qing with a greedy gleam.
Long Qing scoffed, "So you want to possess my body?"
Candlesun quickly shook his head, "No, no, no. The Dragon Clan's talents and the fact that you can't be killed easily indicate that there's a grand cause and effect behind your clan. The useless bunch in the Battle Court can't even see this, but more importantly, I also believe in my own talents. I want you to regain control of the Battle Court, and together, we can establish a great virtue that will last for millions of years!"
Long Qing furrowed his brows again and muttered, "With my current cultivation, how many years would it take to overthrow the Battle Court?"
"If we're quick, it'll take several hundred thousand years. If we're slow, it could be several million years. Of course, the prerequisite is that you must stay alive and not slack off," Candlesun answered.
"Million years?" Long Qing exclaimed, unable to remain calm. He blurted out, "Are you joking with me? Even if it takes that long, can you really wait?"
"Why can't I wait?" Candlesun huffed. "I also need time to cultivate. Don't think it's too long. At my current cultivation level, a million years pass by in the blink of an eye. What's more, for those who seclude themselves for cultivation, a thousand years is nothing. The reason you haven't felt time passing quickly is because this Great Thousand World is undergoing a cosmic shift. The Heavenly Dao is driving the world's destiny, and constant battles among the living are occurring. You've experienced too many changes."
Long Qing fell silent.
Candlesun, meanwhile, surveyed the surroundings, examining the furnishings in the room.
Long Qing took a deep breath and asked, "Since that's the case, how will you help me?"
Candlesun turned to him and smiled, "First, become the Sect Master of Taixuan Sect. Then, let Taixuan Sect unify the world. After the cosmic tribulation ends, the Heavenly Virtue will fall upon Taixuan Sect. As the Sect Master, you, and as the Deputy Sect Master, I, will receive immense Heavenly Virtue, which will aid our enlightenment."
"Within the Annihilation Domain, there's a Boundary Gate that restricts the Battle Court, preventing them from launching a large-scale invasion. Moreover, with your master's killing of Tyrant Heaven Mechanism, the Battle Court is already in a dilemma, facing internal disagreements. This is the perfect opportunity for our sect to develop."
Upon hearing this, Long Qing's frown gradually relaxed.
On the other side, Gu An, who was far away at the Primordial Dao Ground, had listened to their conversation. He wasn't too surprised, as he had previously guessed why the Battle Court was pursuing the Dragon Clan.
The Annihilation Emperor's use of the Dragon Clan's cultivation method, the Heavenly Dragon Reincarnation Grand Law, was the best proof.
He was more interested in the Heavenly Virtue that Candlesun mentioned.
If Long Qing and Candlesun could truly lead Taixuan Sect to become the ruler of the world, it would be a good thing. For Gu An, it would also give him a sense of existence.
Of course, if Long Qing were to stray onto the wrong path, Gu An wouldn't ignore it either.
As the one who had protected Long Qing, Gu An felt responsible for keeping an eye on him to prevent him from treading the path of slaughter like in his previous life and that of his ancestors.
Gu An stood up and headed into the mountains.
With the establishment of the Heaven and Earth Sect, they began recruiting disciples extensively, and their numbers quickly surpassed ten thousand. With so many people, there was bound to be trouble.
Sure enough, someone was approaching the restricted area designated by the Heaven and Earth Sect, which was close to the Primordial Dao Ground.
Gu An felt it necessary to assign a guardian, pretending to be a hermit deep in the mountains. An Xin had to focus on cultivation and didn't have the time to keep watch constantly.
As he entered the forest, a flash of white light sped towards him and landed on his shoulder—it was the White Spirit Mouse.
"Master, where are you going?" the White Spirit Mouse asked curiously.
Gu An chuckled, "You run around all day with boundless energy, and you don't even cultivate. Do you want to be a Demon King?"
At this, the White Spirit Mouse's eyes lit up, "Really? Can I?"
"Come with me. I'll enlighten some demons, and you can choose them. From now on, you'll be responsible for guarding the surroundings of the Dao Ground. No one is allowed to trespass without permission."
"That's wonderful, Master! I won't let you down!" The White Spirit Mouse exclaimed excitedly, its body still plump even in its smaller form, resembling a trembling white furball.
Gu An began instructing the White Spirit Mouse on what it could and couldn't do.
This fellow was too mischievous, and rules had to be set to prevent it from becoming unruly. He couldn't let it turn into the Green Ox Spirit under the Supreme Elder Lord's command.
