It might be due to the different rules of alternate worlds.

Xu Qing's current harvest has a sense of enlightenment pointing directly to the essence of all things.

Moreover, he originally obtained the Innate Taiyi Dao Seed in another world, yet in this Low Martial World, he feels he is absorbing and digesting the Innate Taiyi Dao Seed.

Although he cannot utilize even a bit of that Innate Taiyi Dao Seed yet.

"What's so peculiar about this world that makes comprehending the Dao easier than in the previous world?" Xu Qing now has many unresolved mysteries.

The more he researches, the more he perceives an indescribable mystery.

"In a certain sense, the dimension of this world is actually higher than that of the Great Yu Dynasty." Xu Qing finally comes to a shocking conclusion.

Although the world appears to be Low Martial, its dimension is actually higher than that of the Taixu Universe where the Great Yu Dynasty is located.

"No wonder." An indescribable insight arises in Xu Qing's heart.

"The Taixu Universe originates from the Taixu Mirror, so where does this world come from?" The more Xu Qing understands, the more questions arise in his heart.

He recalls the mental duel with Meng Chixing, during which thunder was triggered. In a trance, it was as if a looming portal was opened, accompanied by peculiar bell sounds.

Could the truth of this world be hidden behind that portal?

Having read Huang Yi's novels, Xu Qing understands that the appearance of wuxia figures like Meng Chixing and Eight-Arhat represents the ultimate theme of Huang Yi's martial arts world — "Breaking the Void," and that portal should be the so-called "Immortal Sect."

But Xu Qing believes it's not that simple.

This world is the worldly society, martial arts, yet there is something inexplicably wondrous present.

Some people and some things appear suddenly.

Before their appearance, others have no impression, yet their appearance seems natural.

In careful contemplation, it is actually quite terrifying.

But besides Xu Qing himself, others cannot perceive or even care about this aspect.

It's like the parable of Zhuangzi, where in a kingdom of madmen, only the king is awake.

The more it is like this, the more he must deeply understand this world and grasp every aspect.

A strong organization is necessary.

Compared to the so-called largest gang in the world — the Beggar Gang, actually, the Ming Sect is more to Xu Qing's standards. It is organized, with internal cohesion, and stands apart from the Central Plains Martial World…

…

…

Huashan, Sun and Moon Cliff.

"Master Kumei, Daoist instructed me to take over the position of Huashan Sect Leader."

Master Kumei looked incredulously at the girl in front of him.

The girl's surname is Hua, given name Zhenzhen.

She is a descendant of Master Kumei's grandmaster.

Hua Zhenzhen originally did not belong to the Huashan Sect, only because she became an orphan at a young age, was taken back to the Queen Mother Palace, which is now the Xuanyu Temple, by people sent by Master Kumei.

Master Kumei intended to train Gao Yana as the successor to the sect leader position, therefore deliberately did not teach Hua Zhenzhen martial arts.

But Gao Yana and Hua Zhenzhen got along well.

Yet, in Jianghu sects, private teaching is taboo.

Even Gao Yana didn't dare to privately teach Hua Zhenzhen martial arts.

Master Kumei didn't expect that Hua Zhenzhen, who grew up under her nose, would come to claim the Huashan sect leader position after obtaining Dugu Nine Swords and having slight success.

Master Kumei: "You were eligible to be a sect leader, but the position of sect leader belongs to those who are competent. Hua Zhenzhen, do you really have that competence?"

Hua Zhenzhen responded with a "Hmm."

Master Kumei sighed: "I don't care who you're calling Daoist; if you lose to me today, don't mention this matter again."

While speaking, she drew the Jade Maiden Sword she carried with her.

Hua Zhenzhen drew the Iron Sword she carried with her.

This is the standard sword used by Huashan disciples, nothing out of the ordinary.

Yet, at the moment Hua Zhenzhen drew her sword, Master Kumei's expression was startled.

Because a hint of Purple Qi appeared between Hua Zhenzhen's brows.

Master Kumei knew what this meant, and she almost blurted out: "Purple Qi Origin Sect."

"Yes, Master be careful, I have already practiced Purple Qi Origin Sect to the Ninth Level."

The 'Purple Qi Origin Sect' practiced by the Huashan Sect is cultivating innate Purple Qi, one of the most profound inner strengths in the martial arts world. Talented, pure-hearted individuals progress rapidly in practicing it, often achieving fifty to sixty years' worth of power by the age of twenty or thirty — truly unbelievable.

However, if unsuited for this inner strength, even fifty or sixty years won't yield the effect achieved by general inner strengths in twenty or thirty years.

Few throughout Huashan Sect's history have mastered this martial arts skill.

This skill is divided into twelve levels, with Hua Zhenzhen's ancestor Hua Qiongfeng once reaching the eleventh level, but Hua Qiongfeng was already old at that time.

For Hua Zhenzhen to reach the ninth level of this martial arts skill before the age of twenty is truly unprecedented. Hua Qiongfeng had reached the ninth level by the age of twenty-eight, becoming an extraordinary talent in martial arts, claiming the position of the rightful sect leader successor, and taking over as sect leader two years later.

…

…

"Daoist Xu, save me!"

Xu Qing heard a cry for help from outside the stone room where he was reading in the Heavenly Traveling Villa's library.

The speaker was Gao Yana.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qing walked out of the Book Collection Pavilion, his gaze falling on Master Kumei.

He could see that Master Kumei had suffered severe internal injuries.

Gao Yana: "Daoist Xu, please save my master."

Xu Qing nodded and pointed towards Master Kumei across the air.

Air Acupoint!

Master Kumei was astonished.

Because she clearly felt that the strength in Xu Qing's acupoint technique seemed to come from the same source as the Purple Qi Origin Sect she got injured from.

"This is the Innate Finger from Chongyang Palace. Right, master, who injured you? This person is certainly not simple, because like my Innate Finger, they practiced innate Purple Qi." Xu Qing inquired curiously.

Master Kumei spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood, feeling much better instantly.

She then explained the cause of her injuries.

"Hua Zhenzhen, Purple Qi Origin Sect, and a so-called Daoist?" Having heard the full story, Xu Qing pondered for a while and then added: "Even with the Dugu Nine Swords and bearing the Thirteen Forms of Qingfeng, you still weren't her match?"

Master Kumei smiled wryly: "Hua Zhenzhen also knows Thirteen Forms of Qingfeng, and she even knows the Dugu Nine Swords, claiming it was passed to her by that Daoist."

"Haven't you been doing well as the sect leader, so why does she insist on taking the sect leader position?"

Xu Qing knew very well that the opponent wasn't a ruthless person; otherwise, Master Kumei would have had no chance of surviving.

A young girl under twenty years old, already surpassing the martial skills of the Iron Fairy Master Kumei — truly unbelievable. Moreover, Xu Qing, experienced with innate Purple Qi, understood that unless one's mind is pure, it isn't possible to master this Taoist strange skill.

Master Kumei: "That's what puzzles me too; perhaps she simply wants to heed the instructions of that Daoist. Yet I have never known such a Daoist exists."

Speaking of the Daoist, Master Kumei glanced at Xu Qing instinctively.

Xu Qing: "Master wouldn't suspect me, right?"

Master Kumei: "I am merely curious about where Daoist Xu's martial skills truly come from."

Xu Qing: "From birth."

Master Kumei's mouth twitched.

Xu Qing chuckled and continued: "Does Master wish to reclaim the position of Huashan sect leader?"

Master Kumei: "Hua Zhenzhen has good character, yet she can't be sect leader; I must reclaim this position."

"Defeating her is no easy task, but I have a way."

"Really?"

"The answer lies within the Dugu Nine Swords that master acquired."

"Qi Breaking Technique?" Master Kumei blurted out.

Xu Qing slowly nodded.

Master Kumei smiled wryly: "This Qi Breaking Technique is too challenging to comprehend."

At the same time, suspicion arose in her heart: How does Xu Qing know the contents of Dugu Nine Swords?

Xu Qing: "I obtained some insights while reading the Commentary on the Yi Jing by the Yuan clan. The Dugu Nine Swords actually does not venture beyond the bounds of the Yi Jing. Comprehending the Qi Breaking Technique naturally requires starting from Yi Jing."

The Qi Breaking Technique is the true essence of Dugu Nine Swords.

Xu Qing suddenly had a thought to verify his Yi Jing insights through Master Kumei's Qi Breaking Technique of Dugu Nine Swords.

This matter seems very important to him.
