Practicing Qi for one hundred thousand years

Chapter One

Mountains behind the Tianlan Sect.

Suddenly, dust danced in the air, and in an inconspicuous place, a stone door appeared, trembling and slowly opening.

From within, an old man walked out.

With his first step, his spirit became radiant, without any signs of aging!

With his second step, he had already entered his middle age!

As his third step landed, he appeared to be in his twenties.

"It has been another ten thousand years! Sigh, I still haven't reached the Foundation Establishment stage!"

His name was Xu Yang, and he had been cultivating for a hundred thousand years.

One hundred thousand years ago, he was a disciple of the Tianlan Sect, but his master ascended while he was still refining Qi.

Ninety thousand years ago, his senior nephew ascended, and he was still refining Qi.

Fifty thousand years ago, even the old dog guarding the Tianlan Sect ascended, but he was still refining Qi.

Thirty thousand years ago, the old tree at the foot of the mountain turned into a demon, failing to overcome the tribulation and dying. Yet he continued to refine Qi.

Ten thousand years ago, Zhang Wuji, the 9,872nd generation disciple of the Tianlan Sect, also ascended, while Xu Yang silently continued refining Qi.

He secluded himself for ten thousand years, but in the end, he still didn't succeed.

He had consumed more Foundation Establishment Pills than anyone had seen in their lifetime.

When his master accepted him as a disciple, he said he had extraordinary talent, but he never mentioned it again after his ascension.

Xu Yang's advantage was that he would never grow old, and he could always advance in the realm of refining Qi.

While others reached the ninth level of Qi refinement, even the most talented ones only achieved perfection at the tenth level. Then they could directly establish their foundation, followed by consuming the Golden Core, opening the Nascent Soul, deriving a Heavenly Paradise, forging their Yuan Shen, merging with their Divine Infant, and ascending to the Great Vehicle after overcoming the tribulation!

As for him, he was refining Qi at the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth level!

"Ten thousand years have passed, and the sect has declined!"

Xu Yang sighed. The Tianlan Sect was once the number one power in the Three Thousand Daoist Provinces. Now, looking at the desolation of the back mountain, the distant grand halls have already fallen into ruin, with only the main hall remaining, still showing traces of its former glory.

"Hmm?"

Xu Yang suddenly frowned, his eyes turning fierce.

The sect's decline was understandable due to the passage of time and the conversion of spiritual energy. The once blessed lands and celestial realms had now become ordinary places.

Not all disciples throughout the generations could be extraordinarily wise, so the decline was inevitable.

But someone actually wanted to extinguish the Tianlan Sect's lineage!

Xu Yang wouldn't allow it!

...

Bang!

A Tianlan Sect disciple flew in through the flipped door, crashing to the ground and coughing up blood.

"Ling Qingyu, I've already told you, as long as you marry this young sect master and relocate the Tianlan Sect, I can guarantee the survival of the Tianlan Sect. After I become the sect master of the Tianyun Sect, you will be the sect master's wife!"

"This is your last chance! Otherwise, I'll destroy your lineage. Don't blame me for being heartless!"

A man strolled in casually, followed by dozens of terrifying experts.

The Yunsan Sect, a major sect in Qizhou, had Golden Core experts
