The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 438 - 191 Inventory of Gains, Saint’s Handwritten Manuscript (Subscription Request)_3

Therefore, thereafter Taiwei, Heavenly Market’s Innate Divine Ability, he is unable to awaken it.

Additionally, the Seven Azure Dragon Constellations and the Xuanwu Seven Stars are subveins of the Purple Emperor Meridian, so after Xu Qing connects them, he can directly cultivate.

The remaining White Tiger Seven Stars and Vermilion Bird Seven Stars, however, require connecting Taiwei, Heavenly Market before they can be cultivated.

The Saint’s Handwritten Manuscript of Xu Qing is not only vastly masculine but also directly points to the human heart, containing the Saint’s insights into the truths of the world, with a decisive and neat demeanor.

As Xu Qing contemplates, his Divine Soul also becomes purified.

"North Kong is really a group of rats, sitting on a treasure mountain yet unaware," Xu Qing sighed to himself.

But he could understand the reason; Saintly Handscript needs genuine acceptance from the heart to draw wisdom from it and strengthen one’s own Divine Soul.

It’s clear that the multitude of rats in North Kong do not recognize these principles, hence they naturally can’t benefit from them.

Xu Qing could recognize them because since his previous life, he has been exposed to similar concepts from a young age.

History advances forward, and the truth does not fade; thus, the truth needs no disguise, the more it is debated, the clearer it becomes.

In front of the sharp writings of the predecessors, one doesn’t need to feel ashamed because these writings are not meant to lecture but to light a lamp to let you see further.

Saints are those who illuminate themselves and light the way for others.

It’s not that being selfish is wrong, but the development of the world requires such selfless individuals to drive it forward.

Once you recognize this and act on it, you can align with the force of the era and create achievements and great deeds.

Of course, such people will also be slandered and faults and shortcomings found in them.

Because to act is inevitably to make mistakes.

A mistake is a mistake.

Such individuals do not need any disguise.

Their pursuit of the Dao will not cease; they don’t even perceive themselves as selfless as this label is imposed on them by posterity.

"The road to enlightenment is long; I shall cultivate relentlessly."

Xu Qing carefully closed the bamboo scroll. It seemed he had gained something, yet perhaps gained nothing; in his Divine Soul, more clouds of confusion emerged than before.

This resembled a barrier of knowledge yet wasn’t entirely that.

Xu Qing knew this to be the phenomenon of the Ghost Immortal Barrier, encountered only upon achieving possession by Great Success.

He, of course, doesn’t have the Soul Power of possession by Great Success, but through the Saintly Handscript, he prematurely experienced the existence of the Ghost Immortal Barrier.

This is a fog rooted in innate nature; achieving the status of Ghost Immortal doesn’t mean the Divine Soul fog ceases forever because things constantly change and evolve.

Past, future, self...

Unconsciously, Xu Qing found himself at the riverbank, with flushed vitality that matched the river as it began to thaw.

It was exactly when winter gives way to spring.

In Xu Qing’s Divine Soul, Horn Mansion shone brightly.

It was like seeing a dragon in the field.

At the start of the movement of yang, when nothing has yet emerged!

In his Divine Soul, suddenly there was a flash of lightning, and his thoughts emitted a breeze of yang harmony, devoid of the gloomy chill typical of the Divine Soul.

"So that’s it." Xu Qing finally understood the critical importance of the Purple Mansion Primordial Sect to the cultivation of Divine Soul.

Ordinary people who cultivate the Divine Soul, even if they become Ghost Immortals, they are Yin Gods.

However, the Purple Mansion Primordial Sect, Quanzhen Dao’s Innate Finger, Heavenly Gang Wuji Skill, when all these lineages are fused, they ultimately point towards opening the Purple Mansion and cultivating the Path of Pure Yang Primordial Spirit.

"Elder Fang follows the Path of Primordial Spirit, an extraordinary Ghost Immortal. Hence his Divine Soul is condensed like a real flesh body, which is a characteristic of the Primordial Spirit. Unfortunately, he is probably still a little short of fully cultivating the Primordial Spirit," Xu Qing understood Elder Fang’s path, yet was not surprised.

His cultivation came from enlightenment from the Daoist Collection, directing towards the essence of Dao.

The path of Divine Soul cultivation is actually a truncated version of cultivation, but more suited for ordinary cultivators of the world.

Because cultivation that directly targets Dao is incredibly difficult, with more emphasis on fate.

Suddenly, Xu Qing comprehended that the Primordial Spirit Dao and Saint’s Path are interconnected, both directly pointing to the original face of the Dao.

"What a pity, still no clues about the Purple Mansion Primordial Sect," Xu Qing then shook his head.

Without the Purple Mansion Primordial Sect, he could only self-verify and self-enlighten from the vast sea of Daoist Collection like Elder Fang. With the Purple Mansion Primordial Sect, there would be a clear framework.

This is like the difference in major research between having a correct approach and independently trying to figure it out.

The latter relies too much on luck and talent, a tremendous waste of time.

But with the right approach, achieving true results is also immensely challenging, but with the bronze mirror, Xu Qing believes he can overcome these clearly known difficulties.

With one thought, Xu Qing unleashed his Divine Soul by the riverside, turning into a small dragon, blissfully content in the water, calling the wind and summoning the rain, enjoying himself immensely.

...

...

A heavy snow in winter once more draped a layer of loss over the strength of the Great Yu Dynasty.

As a local figure, Xu Qing naturally did not have a clear sense of the overall situation. The Grand Secretary was extremely distressed.

Since initiating the reform, not only had he had to face various human calamities, but he also had to deal with increasingly frequent natural disasters.

There seemed to be a feeling that the more he did, not only did difficulties not diminish, but they seemed to increase.

He did not shrink from this but took each difficulty even more seriously.

Even if these efforts were not successful, he would record them as an experience, to be left for posterity. However, he knew if Prince Yu succeeded to the throne, he might not value these experiences.

Ah, the politics die with the person.

The court often completely criticizes and negates a person after they are downed, and his efforts were probably not going to be utilized by future generations.

He would not feel sorrow about this.

After all, as the predecessors said, "To have fulfilled one’s aspirations to the best of one’s ability and still fail to reach them, one can have no regrets!"

"Prime Minister, this is the reply letter from the Princess of Chuyun from the East Sea Gang," [said] the envoy to the East Sea Gang, Assistant Minister of Rites Cheng Guang.

With his status undertaking such a matter, it showed sincerity.

This also made the East Sea Gang accept the Grand Secretary’s proposal to help the Great Yu Dynasty contain the Eastern Yi people.

This allowed East Mountain Province to have a chance to stabilize temporarily and resume production this spring.

The Grand Secretary, after seeing the private request in the Princess of Chuyun’s letter, was somewhat amused and said, "Let Xu Gongming decide on this matter himself."
