I Have A Martial Dao World

Seeing that Daoist Zhou He was brewing his emotions, ready to deliver a lengthy lament, Lu Yao hurriedly waved to the girls, signaling them to come and listen.

It was rare to get a lecture from a veteran Spirit Refinement expert, so the Liao Family Sisters and Li Pei hurried over, with Su Er also blushing as she joined them.

Everyone sat down in a row, ready for the lesson.

"Calm your restless mind and you'll grasp the void, tether your wandering thoughts and you'll transform into a dragon! From Spirit Refinement to Fetal Breath, one word is crucial: 'calm.' It means to keep 'the divine soul guarded and focused on one thing.'"

Zhou He nodded gently, speaking placidly:

"And after achieving 'calm,' comes the 'motion!' It's like insects awakened by the spring thunder, like a person startled from a deep sleep...

From 'neat' to 'motion,' from 'quiet' to 'awake,' the divine soul takes a leap and exits the body, known as — leaving the orifice!"

After expressing these thoughts, Daoist Zhou He closed his eyes motionlessly, while Lu Yao and the others pondered deeply.

But at that moment, Lu Yao suddenly felt Zhou He's Mind Force rapidly surging towards his forehead!

This place is known as the Yintang Acupoint, which is also where the brain's gland called the 'Pineal Gland' is located, a fascinating part of the human body.

This organ naturally senses the external environment, regulating the body's biological clock, and many religions and ancient civilizations depicted an eye in this location.

At this moment, the Yintang Acupoint of Daoist Zhou He became blurry, as if something was trying to leap out.

The crowd held their breath, not daring to inhale too loudly for fear of disturbing him.

After a few minutes, the anomaly disappeared, and Daoist Zhou He opened his eyes.

Lu Yao quickly asked, "Were you just about to break through to the leaving the orifice realm?"

"Yes and no," Zhou He caught his breath and nodded. "Leaving the orifice isn't that easy. Besides having a strong enough Mind Force, there's another key point — settling past vows."

"Settling past vows?"

"Exactly, as they say, free from obstruction and free from worries, one achieves great liberation."

Zhou He explained, "Leaving the orifice is when the divine soul uses the Mind Force to make a valiant leap from a high pole!

To 'leap' out, one must remove obstacles and burdens. That is — settling past vows.

Often, high monks take great vows, and upon fulfillment, they achieve transcendence; this is the principle behind it."

His explanation was clear and easy to understand, and everyone grasped it.

Lu Yao seemed contemplative, "Past vows..."

"Ah! That's it!" He suddenly remembered, "I do have one!"

Back when he was on the brink of death, struggling for breath with every step, and despite his pathetic state, he had made a grand vow — to marry his senior sister!

Lu Yao, his gaze burning, looked at Liao Ya, "It seems I'll need to devour this delightful senior sister sooner rather than later!"

Sect Leader Liao was sitting upright, listening intently, when she suddenly felt her junior brother's burning gaze and immediately glared back in response.

Her eyes, as limpid as autumn waters, seemed to speak, "What are you looking at me for?!"

Feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, she shot back an even more piercing glare, "Stinky junior brother! Perverted junior brother!" Discover hidden content at empire

After a brief exchange between the two, Daoist Zhou He appeared forlorn: "I have everything in place but the east wind to fulfill my past vow."

Lu Yao's interest was piqued: "What's your past vow, Daoist Zhou?"

Zhou He smiled, "The old Daoist's vow is related to Spirit Birds, and it's somewhat challenging..."

He didn't speak directly, but instead looked up at the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks playing in the sky: "Your Spirit Birds have cleansed their marrow, their progress is swift."

"Thanks to the Blood Core given by the three Fu Fangshengs."

Lu Yao whistled, the Mind Force carrying a strange rhythm with the sound, and the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks swooped down like lightning, obediently landing in the pavilion.

Zhou He had a special fondness for Spirit Birds, so he intently stroked each one, giving the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks a thorough inspection.

"Not bad, robust physique, vigorous spirit, full of spiritual essence, you've raised them well! It's not just about ample resources, this level of spiritual essence clearly shows your dedication."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Sect Leader Zhou's Zhou Xueyi is no slouch either."

Zhou He also whistled, holding two Wisdom Spirit Pills in his hand.

Soon, an Immortal Crane with a body length of 2 meters and a wingspan of 4 meters approached, none other than Zhou Xueyi. It elegantly pecked at the two Wisdom Spirit Pills, preparing to leave with a touch of aloofness.

But the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks, curious, gathered around and stared, while Zhou Xueyi also tilted its head and looked back, the four birds facing off in a standoff...

[What are you looking at?]

[What's it to you?]

The next second, the feathers on their necks stood on end, and their eyes became sharp, a sign that a fight was about to break out!

Both owners quickly intervened, and Zhou He, stroking his beard, said with a smile:

"The young friend Lu's Spiritual Sparrowhawks are all females. And among the sparrowhawks, it is the females who defend the nest and offspring, which is why they are particularly majestic and possess a sense of aggressiveness."

"I see, if there was even one male, it wouldn't always come to blows like this…"

With a stern glare from Lu Yao, the three sparrowhawks sensed their master's dissatisfaction. Reason quickly overpowered instinct, and they obediently stood in line.

Seeing that its rival was no longer provoking, Zhou Xueyi also stood there, aloof and graceful.

Gently stroking his Spirit Bird, Zhou He said indifferently, "Young friend Lu, let me tell you. It has always been this old Daoist's wish to soar the skies with the Spirit Birds!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao's eyes lit up and said, "I can... "

Zhou He, lost in a somewhat intoxicated reminiscence, interrupted him:

"My childhood sweetheart and I both adored Spirit Birds and vowed to fly into the sky together one day.

Unfortunately... she's no longer here, leaving only Xueyi to accompany me.

So my lifelong wish is to have Xueyi carry me, along with Ling Er's yearning, to soar high into the sky."

Having finished his story, the Liao Family Sisters were quite moved.

"Ahem," Lu Yao cleared his throat and said, "Sect Leader, I have a way to help you fulfill your lifelong wish ahead of time."

Zhou He said earnestly, "Young friend Lu, when I talk about soaring the skies, it must be sleek and unobstructed. For a Spirit Bird to carry 200 pounds of us... the flight would be difficult and unsightly."

Lu Yao, of course, understood this. The bodies and strength of the refined Spirit Birds were not sufficient; they could only carry people with their claws, and at most fly for a quarter of an hour before running out of energy.

But there is the Wing-Suit Flight Suit~

~~~~~~~~~~

"Sect Leader, why don't you give it a try? Come on, put this suit on!"

Lu Yao took out the flight suit, pronouncing solemnly, "Let me demonstrate, watch closely~"

He then let Ping An pull him up to a thousand meters in the air and flew a lap for demonstration.

Initially skeptical, Zhou He immediately understood the use of the suit upon witnessing this scene!

A look of longing appeared on his face, "This is the technique of gliding with the air currents!"

"Exactly!" Lu Yao helped Zhou He into the flight suit, "Come on, give it a try!"

After adjusting and getting comfortable with the suit, the old Daoist approached the Immortal Crane, his excitement barely controlled, and said, "Xueyi, let's fly up to the sky!"

He then extended his arms after speaking.

Zhou Xueyi cocked its head and stared at him for a long while.

Though the Immortal Crane was aloof, it was highly spiritual, sensing that this was a critical moment for its master. It promptly flapped its wings, grasped the old Daoist, and flew high into the sky, the two becoming tiny black dots as they flew further and further away.

Ascending vertically was tremendously draining, and at 8,000 meters, the Immortal Crane couldn't hold on any longer.

Zhou He laughed and asked it to let go, then he suddenly spread his limbs wide, and the wings of the suit unfurled!
