The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 442 - 193: A Person of Uncommon Qualities Does Uncommon Deeds (Please Subscribe)_3

Development is the inviolable principle.

Xu Qing then chatted and laughed with King Lin for a while, summarizing the gains and losses from their recent exchange of blows. At their level, even a small step forward is not easy. Therefore, they cherished the insights from each sparring session even more.

If a Refining Internal Master scores eighty, a Martial Arts Grandmaster scores ninety. To progress from ninety to a hundred, every single point requires ten to a hundred times the effort of a Refining Internal Master.

Even with the effort, success is not guaranteed.

And the Martial Saint is beyond perfect score, belonging to a realm that the two could not fully comprehend at this moment.

At this stage, any relaxation could not only halt progress but might even lead to regression.

Cultivation is not a one-time certification.

Because it also involves resisting the erosion of time.

Time is the most terrifying force in the world; even the most brilliant individuals find it hard to contend with.

Even transcending the limits of lifespan, like the sea may turn into mulberry fields, rivers may change their courses, mountains may erode under the forces of nature...

After affirming himself, Xu Qing did not feel despair, but was filled with exhilaration.

After numerous trials and tests, he was indeed no longer the ordinary person from his previous life.

Recognizing oneself truly is also an achievement of seeing one’s true nature.

During the exchange with King Lin, Feng Wu merely watched without intervening, listening attentively instead.

As her husband continuously improves, she must also keep advancing.

Moving forward together surpasses all the romance and beauty in the world.

Between husband and wife, between Daoist partners, it should be about making each other better, supporting each other to climb the highest peaks, see the farthest sights, and then still have each other.

After the exchange, King Lin laughed heartily: "In discussing the Dao, we brothers have unintentionally neglected our sister-in-law."

Feng Wu: "Big brother thinks I’m too dull to understand your profound discussions, right?"

King Lin hurriedly pleaded: "I didn’t mean that."

Old Lin’s face turned awkward.

Xu Qing chuckled, then said: "This visit, besides having matters to discuss with big brother, is also to bring a gift for you."

He took out the Heaven Shaking Bow from his Qiankun Bag.

King Lin has always envied Xu Qing’s Qiankun Bag and had to admit, a good brother indeed has great Qi Fortune. Such items, he had only heard of in myths and legends, like eternal worlds in a pot, vast universes in drunken stupors; as child listening to storytellers, he was very envious.

Even more envious than having a wife!

Xu Qing was also displaying his strength, having a Qiankun Bag, his martial prowess almost equal to yours, Old Lin, and even more influential, to keep Old Lin from becoming arrogant.

Human relationships are dynamically evolving.

King Lin, now a Martial Arts Grandmaster, although not the kind to stab a brother in the back, would still possess a natural pride.

This sparring was also to eliminate such tendencies.

Governing positions are not established by words but by fists.

Handling ordinary details well also prevents future estrangement among brothers after achieving great deeds, ending up only inviting a good brother to drink from a golden cup, not sparing each other with the sharp blade!

Or perhaps inviting King Lin to go fishing.

King Lin, although coarse yet astute, wasn’t as meticulous as Xu Qing; his eyes fixed straight on the Heaven Shaking Bow.

"Great bow, very great..."

As a Martial Arts Grandmaster, seeing such a special Divine weapon naturally resonated in his mind.

Once the Heaven Shaking Bow was revealed, King Lin realized this was the Divine Bow he needed, unparalleled.

"Big brother, this is indeed the top Holy Object from the Six Arts of the Kong Mansion of the Confucian Ming Sect. Is this gift worthy of you bowing?" Xu Qing joked.

King Lin immediately attempted to bow.

Xu Qing quickly grabbed King Lin’s arms, his face turning stern.

King Lin laughed heartily: "Getting such a big favor, do you think I wouldn’t dare to bow?"

Xu Qing secretly scoffed: "Such lack of principles, who did you learn that from?"

He then tossed the Heaven Shaking Bow to King Lin.

King Lin carefully examined it, showing great interest, then said: "Good brother, just tell me whom do you want your old brother to kill?"

Old Lin was very responsive; such a grand gift definitely came with a difficult mission.

But it was worth whatever the task entailed.

Xu Qing then mentioned the matter concerning the Princess of Dongming.

King Lin looked strangely at Feng Wu, who quickly explained: "I didn’t say no."

King Lin couldn’t help but give Xu Qing a firm pat on the shoulder and said, "Younger brother, with such a spirit, even if you pursue Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts, you are definitely a Martial Arts Grandmaster. With such a good thought, if you are unwilling to even slightly disappoint your younger sister, what is there for me, your brother, to worry about?"

He saw Xu Qing’s true character from this matter.

In the past, Xu Qing was known for his cleverness and strategy, often pursuing interests with a somewhat cold heart.

It’s not that being cold-hearted is bad, but when everything is motivated solely by profit, as partners, wouldn’t one feel uneasy?

Now, he saw another side of Xu Qing, not finding him foolish, but rather feeling more assured in his own judgement of people.

This is indeed the principle a great man should follow in life.

Thus, he felt an even stronger kinship with Xu Qing.

There are too many sycophantic and vile people in the world, but to reform the mountains and rivers, and reset the universe, besides having the wisdom to see through world affairs, one naturally needs to be an extraordinary person doing extraordinary things.

King Lin considered himself an extraordinary person but admittedly lacking in wisdom.

Before, he thought separating from Xu Qing would allow him to dominate independently, but now he had higher aspirations.

If he could achieve great things with Xu Gongming and leave a legacy for future generations, wouldn’t that be much better than establishing a small nation overseas?

From this moment, Xu Qing truly felt that he and King Lin had become close friends whose loyalty to each other was transparent. He had never felt this way with anyone else.

Nevertheless, Xu Qing still spoke the truth, "Big brother, if I didn’t have no use for the Heaven Shaking Bow right now, I would keep it for myself. If one day you are not as good in martial arts as me, you must return it to me."

Only real brothers put such pressure on each other.

The touch of emotion King Lin felt just now suddenly disappeared and his face darkened.

He immediately felt great pressure, wondering how many more years he could use the bow with this young man’s cultivation speed progressing so rapidly.

King Lin pretended not to hear, and with a smile said, "Sister-in-law, I’ve just caught a giant sea clam which nourishes the yin, enriches the blood, and promotes beauty and longevity. After you take it, your complexion will surely improve."

At that moment, Feng Wu started giggling.

The air was filled with joyful laughter.

...

...

Across the vast East Sea, a giant ship sailed through the waves. In the dark cabin, there were large cannons with dark, deep muzzles exerting an inexplicable terrifying pressure.

"Master Gu, if Xu Qing disagrees, just fire a Purple Thunder Cannon at East Island to show him our military power and force his agreement," proposed the Princess of Chuyun, who was very eager for Xu Qing’s lineage.

Moreover, she believed this was the best way to bind their cooperation.

She offered such generous conditions, and if he still did not agree, she could only force his hand with a less favorable strategy.

The ship was equipped with the newly researched Purple Thunder Cannons by Fang Immortal Dao, also the trump card of Gu Daoist.

They had suffered a great loss last time at the hands of Xu Qing.

Although it was a request for cooperation now, they needed to prepare for the possibility that negotiations could fail.

So, having the powerful cards in hand was necessary.

You have Martial Arts and Daoist Skills, and I have strong ships and powerful cannons.

Gu Daoist even felt in his heart that it was time for the people to realize that Fang Immortal Dao was ushering in a new era!

On the other hand, among those in Fang Immortal Dao interested in returning to Central Earth, Gu Daoist was one of them. After all, researching firearms was merely an evolution of mechanical techniques, classified as an external way.

Moreover, the fundamental stream of the Way of Life is still in Central Earth.

In essence, he still had a strong desire for the pursuit of Longevity, and even if he could not achieve eternal life, gaining secretive teachings from the predecessors of Central Earth to advance Divine Soul into Possession Realm and succeed in becoming a Ghost Immortal in his lifetime would also be a great profit!

In fact, the countries overseas and beyond the Western Regions, including the legendary Buddha Country, had various Evil Techniques and Divine Skills, but their principles were not superior to Central Earth.

The research in Central Earth on the Way of Life surpasses any other place outside Central Earth.

Fang Immortal Dao overseas, in the study of the Way of Life, even the Outer Elixir Dao hadn’t progressed much, and focusing resources on the development of firearms had reached a significant bottleneck.

Their current understanding of the Grand Dao was no longer sufficient to further advance the development of firearms. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

They also needed new Grand Dao theories to support the continued development of their external path of firearms.

It is said that the Westerners have already made some breakthroughs.

That side also has exceedingly wise Saints.

Thus, the insightful among Fang Immortal Dao had started seeking the Dao in the Western Ocean. But there were also people like Gu Daoist who believed that Central Earth’s knowledge was profound and extensive, and there was no need to seek it abroad.

This also caused a divergence in the paths sought by Fang Immortal Dao internally.

Now, their relations were extremely strained.

After all, historically, heretics have been despised more than infidels.

From ancient times to the present, this has been true both domestically and internationally.
