Chapter 1 An Qi Sheng's Transformation

An Qisheng slowly closed his eyes.

The invisible magnetic fields, imperceptible to the naked eye, converged. Since returning from his dream, An Qisheng hadn't stopped spreading the 'Qi Seed' for a moment.

But this process was much more difficult on Xuanxing than it had been on the Human Path.

The magnetic field had a greater impact on Xuanxing, affecting the Earth's crust, ocean currents, and even life itself. It was also Xuanxing's shield, protecting it from meteor impacts.

It could even be said that without the restriction of the magnetic field, all life on Xuanxing, and even Xuanxing itself, would disintegrate completely.

Because of this, although Xuanxing was far smaller than the Human Path, An Qisheng was even more cautious.

Compared to the alternating changes between the 'Qi Seed' and the magnetic field, the changes between the dreamers and the nations of Xuanxing were nothing.

Nor did he need to care about them much.

A nation that had stood for thousands of years, enduring countless hardships, didn't need him to micro-manage everything.

Anything less would seem low-level and uninteresting.

Hoo~

Haa~

With An Qisheng's breathing, even Tianlian Mountain seemed to tremble, and rhythmic undulations traveled along the veins of the Earth's magnetic field.

Little by little, An Qisheng's body underwent transformation, unhurried but seemingly endless.

Beneath the surface, however, starting with his cells, a massive change that could be called earth-shattering was taking place within his body.

…

The towering Wangquan Mountain stood tall, like an ancient divine mountain connecting Heaven and Earth, seemingly without end.

The rolling mountain range stretched for an unknown distance, cutting across the land with endless magnificence.

Lu Shiping walked through the forest, and despite his arduous journey, his expression remained unchanged. With the circulation of his True Qi, he was immune to heat and cold, and felt no fatigue.

After walking for an unknown time, he finally stopped and exhaled a long breath.

Standing on the summit, he could see the majesty of Wangquan Mountain even more clearly. This majesty surpassed the Five Sacred Mountains, and no other peaks on Xuanxing could compare.

Because this peak rose nearly ten thousand meters from the ground, and nearly half of its body was shrouded in clouds and mist, with cold winds blowing and perpetual snow.

Ordinary people would find it extremely difficult, not to mention living on the mountain for a long time, but even climbing it.

His mission was to become a disciple of Wangquan Dao.

But this step was not so simple.

Not to mention that the name of this dream realm was Wangquan (Royal Authority), the legends he had heard in recent days were enough to shock all the dreamers, and many others who learned about it through observing him.

This was an uncrowned king with a legacy of three thousand three hundred years, a super sect that ruled Jian Mu State, and had stood at the pinnacle of the world for three thousand three hundred years.

Each generation of Wangquan Seven Sons and Wangquan Daoists (Royal Authority Taoists) were selected from among the most talented and blessed individuals in the world by the legendary divine weapon, the Wangquan Sword (Royal Authority Sword).

Without exception, they were dragons among men, with top-notch comprehension and temperament.

With a constant stream of talent, they innovated upon the inheritance of their predecessors. In this era, the development of martial arts surpassed that of three thousand years ago by an unknown amount.

How could entering such a sect be as simple as just saying it?

"Wangquan Dao has been established for three thousand three hundred years. Its reputation in this world is too great and too loud. Whenever it opens its gates wide, the world is in turmoil, and countless people come to seek apprenticeship. Under normal circumstances, Old Lu's talent and foundation will be difficult to compete with others."

Qinglong's voice rang in Lu Shiping's mind.

This was a voice that had been converted by 'Yinglong' and directly instilled into his mind, and no one could detect it.

In the laboratory, Qinglong looked solemn. Behind him was an emergency assembled think tank. Based on the information they had collected, they proposed ideas and conjectures, and submitted them to 'Yinglong' for analysis and deduction, in order to achieve the optimal solution.

"The dynasty has a hard time surviving three hundred years, but a sect can actually influence a world for three thousand three hundred years? It's unbelievable! Look at this information, look at their laws, are they somewhat similar to ours? It's really true that the Da Dao ultimately leads to the same destination, communism is eternal!"

"The king governs the country and shepherds the people, Wangquan Dao shepherds Jian Mu State with the sword, the Wangquan Sword is renewed every hundred years to control Wangquan Dao, and the Wangquan Daoist is replaced every century. The most important thing in the entire system is actually that Wangquan Sword? Isn't this similar to using an 'artificial intelligence' without emotions or desires to govern the country in our concepts?"

"The seven countries under Wangquan Dao are also outrageous. They actually follow the system of abdication, and the inheritance is given to the most widely recognized virtuous and selfless person. Is this still a feudal society?"

"The law has been passed down for three thousand years, and the Dao connects the past and the present. It can be called eternal in the horizontal direction and boundless in the vertical direction. It's really remarkable, remarkable. Who is the founder of this sect? I really want to meet him and talk about the past and present, across different worlds!"

The think tank in the laboratory discussed and praised endlessly, and were amazed by everything they saw.

Many of them were sociologists and historians. After careful research, they had to admit that, at least in terms of the society in that Wangquan dream realm, it was an extremely complete system.

Qinglong ignored the think tank's chatter and continued to speak. After analysis and conversion by Yinglong, his words were transmitted to Lu Shiping's mind, who was asleep on the iron bed:

"Although Fan Zimin's *Biography of Wangquan* has all kinds of exaggerated and outrageous words, it also contains a lot of hidden information. It's impossible to explain it clearly in a few words. You should first walk along the forest, leaving your carefully prepared feed every other mountain peak. Don't use too much or too little, just walk slowly and lure it out..."

While listening, Lu Shiping didn't forget to work, spreading the prepared feed on the hillside, and using insect repellent to encircle the feed.

What he was waiting for was not a person, but a beast.

According to legend, in the eight thousand mountains behind Wangquan Mountain, there were plains and grasslands, as well as cold ponds and deep valleys, and even vegetable gardens for growing spiritual plants. Of course, there were also the legendary three livestock.

A cold flood dragon, a horse, and, well, a donkey.

According to legend, these three livestock were all kings of beasts, with cultivation comparable to that of Heavenly Human Realm experts. They spent most of their time sleeping in these mountains.

They would only wake up for a short time when Wangquan Mountain opened its gates wide.

This news was only discovered by the many think tanks who analyzed the *Biography of Wangquan* word by word. Ordinary people had no idea.

What he had to find were these three livestock.

Unfortunately, the mountain was too big and too wide. He had been circling around non-stop for a whole month, and as the time for Wangquan Mountain to open its gates was approaching, he still hadn't found them.

"I hope what Fan Zimin said is true, that those three beast kings really don't hurt people, and that they understand human nature..."

Lu Shiping shook his head slightly, but he didn't have any negative emotions.

Having lived for a long time, he was, if nothing else, extremely patient.

Gradually, the three great suns fell together in the west, and night fell. The seven blood moons rose into the sky. Lu Shiping descended from a barren mountain and was about to find a clean and safe place to rest.

Suddenly, his heart trembled, and his eyes revealed a hint of disbelief.

Under the scarlet moonlight, the valley in front of him was a hazy red. Beneath an old tree that had grown for who knew how many years, there was a chessboard laid out.

And the ones playing chess on either side of the board were not humans, but...

A horse and a donkey!

The horse was extremely tall and large, its mane like fire. The donkey was also large, its fur lustrous. At this moment, it was staring intently at him.

"You two..."

Lu Shiping was deliberating his tone, consulting Qinglong in his mind, asking him to find two experienced breeders, animal behaviorists, and biologists to help him win over these two beast kings.

Aaaaaa~~~~

Suddenly, the donkey raised its head and shouted loudly.

Lu Shiping's expression changed, but he saw that the red horse also raised its head and let out a long, piercing neigh, and couldn't help but look up as well.

With this one look, his heart skipped a beat.

Above the dome of the sky, seven blood moons were dotted on the black curtain of the sky, and countless stars surrounded the seven red moons, appearing and disappearing.

This was the original scene.

At this moment, a sudden blue light cut through the eternally peaceful night, coming like a shooting star or a long rainbow, and suddenly stopped between the seven moons, bursting out with a light as brilliant as the sun.

In an instant, it illuminated the newly descended night.

This is?!

…

Night fell, and the air was as cool as water.

There were fewer pedestrians on the streets of Lun City, and even those who were out were mostly in a hurry.

On the sidewalk, Su Jie walked unhurriedly.

His breathing was steady, and he seemed to not lift his feet when walking, but his speed was not slow. This was a kind of 'moving exercise' that he had figured out himself.

"South Heaven Gate, South Heaven Gate, this loose-hand technique of the Grandmaster is truly unbelievable."

Su Jie was walking, but that didn't stop him from thinking about things in his mind.

After eating breakfast that day, he had picked up a locust wood token that An Qisheng had lost. He had originally intended to return it to him later, but he didn't expect the token to disappear that night, and he had learned this loose-hand technique, 'South Heaven Gate', in his sleep.

For so many days, he had been working day and night, thinking about this loose-hand technique at all times. He felt that although it was only one technique, it contained endless mysteries, like the mother of all fists.

While thinking, learning, and comprehending, he had silently 'refined his mind' and entered the profound realm of Huajin, and vaguely, he could even touch upon some of the mysteries of Holding the Dan (Embracing Oneness).

His progress was very great.

And the more he studied it, the more he felt that this loose-hand technique was unfathomable. Every time he practiced and thought about it, he could gain something, and gradually he integrated it with what he had learned.

Chirr~

The violent friction between a tire and the ground startled Su Jie.

He looked up and was immediately shocked.

His eyesight was excellent, and he saw at a glance that a black sports car was crashing wildly into pedestrians and vehicles like a runaway horse in the night.

It flashed before his eyes, and a disaster was about to happen.

Su Jie's heart moved, and his strength erupted. He was about to rush forward to save people when he suddenly heard a gust of wind whistling past his ears. The force of the air was so strong that it made his face tingle slightly.

His heart trembled, and he saw a figure rushing out at a speed faster than the out-of-control car, gliding horizontally for five or six meters in mid-air like a glider.

With a heavy step forward, he forcefully stepped on the hood of the car.

"Disaster!"

Su Jie didn't have time to be shocked. His body rose and fell, and he darted out more than twenty meters. His blood rushed to his face, and his hands were like claws as he prepared to tear open the car door.

Screech~~~

Just then, an extremely ear-piercing sound resounded through the disaster, causing many pedestrians to exclaim in shock.

Su Jie was shocked, and saw that the person stepping on the hood did not cause the car to be destroyed and people to die as he had expected, but instead pressed down hard on the out-of-control car like a huge road roller.

The car screamed and roared, and the four wheels rubbed violently against the ground, emitting large clouds of white smoke!

But even so, that car could not move at all!

The few pedestrians on the road were all stunned, and each and every one of them looked at this scene and could hardly believe their eyes.

But Su Jie couldn't help but blurt out:

"Instructor?!"

The person turned around. He was tall and burly, and was none other than Porter!

"Go!"

Porter jumped up and landed in front of Su Jie, pulling his arm, and the latter was pulled up like a puppet and leaped up, climbing onto the six-story buildings on both sides of the street.

This caused another burst of exclamations from the many pedestrians who had been startled by the car accident, and many people took out their mobile phones and cameras, shouting and wanting to take pictures.

"This?"

More than just them? Even Su Jie's eyelids were twitching wildly in shock.

Although the practice of Internal Fist could help increase physical strength, he could also jump up such a six- or seven-story building, but that was similar to parkour climbing.

Carrying someone and jumping up to a six- or seven-story rooftop, nearly twenty meters high, was this still a human?

He thought that he had made great progress in these days, but when he saw Porter's performance, he was simply stunned. This scene shocked him even more than stopping the car.

How could a person do such a thing?

"There are some coincidences, it's hard to explain in a few words..."

Porter shook his head slightly, not saying too much, his expression showing an undisguised solemnity: "Su Jie, the end is coming..."

"What? The end, the end of the world?"

Su Jie looked surprised, and almost thought he had misheard.

But looking at Porter's serious expression, he didn't know why his heart was also beating violently, and he seemed to feel the aura of impending disaster: "Instructor, what do you mean by the end of the world?"

Porter slowly raised his head, and his tone was somehow a little dry: "You, look up."

"Look up?"

Su Jie couldn't help but look up.

It was still dark, and the bright moon was shining brightly, and it seemed that there was nothing...

Before his thoughts could turn, his eyes were suddenly filled with a sudden, blue light that was incredibly brilliant!

The extremely dazzling light stung Su Jie's eyes, but he did not close them, allowing tears to slide down the corners of his eyes as he stared fixedly at the sky.

Vaguely, he seemed to see an incredibly huge gate of light in the endless, brilliant blue light!

A gate,

Descending from the sky!
