The fifth level of the altar seemed simple, but it was not. Xia Pingan broke through it in a short while and arrived at the sixth level of the altar. After arranging the eight palaces on the sixth level, the door to the sixth level opened, and Xia Pingan entered the sixth level.

Xia Pinganyi, who had transformed into Shao Kangjie, entered this stage and found himself taking a stroll on the streets of Luoyang with a few friends.

The streets were filled with people. Luoyang City during the reign of Emperor Yingzong of Song Dynasty was particularly bustling and lively. It was like the scene of Along the River During the Qingming Festival was displayed in front of Xia Ping ‘an.

Unknowingly, they had arrived at the Tianjin Bridge in Luoyang.

At the bustling Tianjin Bridge, the cuckoo’s cries reached Xia Pingan’s ears.

“Cuckoo…Bugu…”

A few cuckoos were chirping in the air as they flew over Tianjin Bridge.

The cuckoo’s cry would have been heard by other people, and they wouldn’t have cared much about it. However, when it reached Shao Kangjie’s ears, Xia Pingan had no choice but to stop in his tracks. He raised his head and looked at the cuckoo flying away. A hint of worry appeared on his face, and he sighed softly.

“Teacher, why are you sighing?”The friend beside Xia Pingan noticed that Xia Pingan’s mood had dropped as he watched the cuckoo fly away. He couldn’t help but ask.

“In the past, there would never be a cuckoo in Luoyang at this time of year, but now, a cuckoo has appeared in Luoyang. This is not a good omen. The political situation of the Imperial Court will change drastically soon, and turmoil is imminent!”Xia Pingan shook his head and said calmly.

The person who heard this was shocked. He looked around, bowed, and lowered his voice to ask sincerely,” May I ask, how did you know that the political situation of the imperial court would change drastically in the future just by looking at the cuckoo in Luoyang?”

“There were no cuckoos in Luoyang at this time of the year, but there are cuckoos today because the earth qi in the south has already invaded Luoyang from the north to the south. Ordinary people can’t feel this earth qi, but birds and animals can feel the changes in it and follow the earth qi. When the world is governed, the earth qi runs from the north to the south. When the world is in chaos, the earth qi runs from the south to the north. There are similar records in the Spring and Autumn Annals. Before the Song Kingdom perished, six large birds that have never been seen before flew over Shangqiu, the capital of the Song Kingdom. There was also the Myna that came to Shangqiu to build a nest. This was a sign that birds were following the earth qi. Other than birds and beasts, as the earth qi changed, the plants and diseases from the south would also be transmitted to the north!”

“Sir, do you mean that because the earth qi in the south is moving northward and affecting the general trend of the world, the situation in the court will also change greatly?”

” Man imitates the earth, and the earth imitates the heavens. The earth qi of the south will move northward, and the southerners will definitely rule the court. In less than two years, the government will definitely use southerners to rule the court. At the same time, a large number of southerners will be recommended to enter the court. If this is the case, the northerners will not have a good life…”

“In less than two years, the government will use southerners to govern the government… Who among the southerners has this reputation and qualifications…” That person frowned slightly, as if he was filtering the names of those southerners in his mind. Then, his expression changed slightly.”Sir, are you saying that the official family will use the king in the future…” After saying a surname, the person’s expression changed. He quickly stopped and bowed to Xia Ping ‘an again.” The ancients said that you can know the autumn of the world by seeing a leaf fall, and you can know the coldness of the world by seeing the ice in a bottle. Today, 1 see that the ancients are not lying. You heard the cuckoo in Luoyang and knew the changes in the country. You are really a god…”

This world shattered, and Xia Ping ‘an’s figure once again appeared on the altar on the seventh level. He was already very close to the top of the altar.

“Only the last two are cleared!” Xia Ping ‘an raised his head and looked at the treasure chest behind the two layers of light on the altar. His eyes were filled with determination. Not long after, he entered the seventh layer of light again.

“Cough cough cough…” The cough caused by the discomfort in his body made Xia Pingan open his eyes. After entering this stage, Xia Pingan realized that he was lying on the bed and had a very strange dream. When he opened his eyes, he saw a few concerned faces standing by the bed.

“Father, are you feeling better?” A middle-aged man was holding a bowl of medicine as he stood by the bed and asked with concern. There were a few family members beside him. Some of them had red eyes, probably because they had just cried.

“Help me sit up!”

The person beside the bed quickly put down the bowl of medicine and helped Xia Ping ‘an sit up. Xia Ping’ an looked at his face through the bronze mirror in front of the window. His hair had turned white and his face was sickly. He could feel that the vitality of this body was about to be exhausted. This was probably Shao Kangjie’s final stage of life. He needed to give his family a proper funeral.

“Father, the medicine is ready!” The man brought the medicine over again.

Xia Ping ‘an shook his hand and said in an aged tone,” I had a dream just now. I dreamed that white cranes and geese descended from the sky. There were flags everywhere, and someone guided me through the mountains. When 1 arrived at a post station, I saw Sima Guang. Lu Gongzhu was already waiting for me and bidding me farewell. There were four words on the post station,’ Long live the autumn’. I’m afraid that I don’t have much time left, and it’s beyond the power of medicine. It’s better not to take this medicine!”

Hearing Xia Pingan’s words, the people around them started to cry. Some of them even sobbed silently.

“Don’t cry anymore. It’s human nature to be born, grow old, die, and die. I was born in a peaceful world, grew up in a peaceful world, and died in a peaceful world. I’ve lived for sixty-seven years, and I’m proud of the world.”

Hearing these words, the surrounding people gradually stopped crying.

Xia Pingan felt a little weak after saying all this in one breath. He calmed himself down for a moment before speaking again,” Now, I have two things to tell you. You must remember!”

The people around him hurriedly nodded.

“The first thing is, I know you all want to bury me nearby. This is not possible. You must bury me in the ancestral grave of the family, remember?”

The surrounding people nodded.

“There’s also the second thing. After I die, you can’t put anything valuable in the tomb. Also, when you’re handling my funeral, you must invite the seven-year-old bald girl from the Li family next door. Treat her with courtesy and let her watch me be buried.”

The people around them didn’t know why they had invited a seven-year-old girl who didn’t know anything to participate in their family’s future plans, and they even wanted the items buried with the dead to go through the girl’s hands. However, since Shao Kangjie had given the order, Shao Kangjie’s son and family still nodded solemnly in agreement.

“Father, don’t worry. I’ll do everything you say! “Shao Bowen replied. Based on Shao Bowen’s understanding of his father, he knew that his father must have had a good reason for doing so. He must have calculated something.

What Xia Pingan didn’t tell his family was that Shao Kangjie had already predicted before he died. A few decades later, the seven-year-old girl next door would give birth to a son, and the girl’s son would become a good-for-nothing hooligan. One day, the hooligan actually wanted to rob Shao Kangjie’s grave to find something valuable. After he told his mother about this idea, the girl told his son how she had witnessed Shao Kangjie’s burial. The things that were buried with Shao Kangjie were all personally placed down by him. There was not a single valuable item. Flearing his mother’s words, the hooligan gave up on the idea of tomb raiding.

The world in this stage shattered once again. Xia Pingan was unstoppable. He gathered his momentum and arrived at the last stage of the altar, the eighth stage.

Behind the light screen of the eighth level, it was no longer the world inside the Realm Pearl. Instead, it was a simple and elegant study. As soon as Xia Pingan stepped into the study, he heard someone reciting a poem.

“Heaven and earth are like the cover of the earth, how high can it be? The sun and moon are like grinding ants, coming and going without rest. It is difficult to estimate the number of years up and down. Moreover, in the case of a yuan, its truth can be understood. One hundred twenty thousand, more than nine thousand six hundred.

In the middle of three thousand years, it has become a thing of the past. It can be seen in the policy book that the country is in chaos, the rise and fall of the world, and the rise and fall of the world. 1 can do it all the way, just as I have experienced.”

Looking around, he saw an old man with a long beard fluttering in the wind. His aura was like a pine tree and the ancient moon. He was standing by the window of the study with his back facing him. He was reciting a poem and holding a golden book in his hand. On the book, Xia Pingan saw four words-Imperial Extreme Staying in the World!

Xia Ping ‘an’s heart trembled as he bowed.” Xia Ping’ an greets Mr. Kang Jie!”

The old man turned around and looked at Xia Pingan with a warm smile on his face.” To be able to know the sequence of the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram and to be able to pass the first seven stages perfectly to get here, it wasn’t easy!”

“It’s all thanks to you that I can come here! “Xia Pingan said.

“Hahaha, come, sit. Let’s have a good chat. It has been a long time since I have a good chat with someone. Today is rare…” Shao Kangjie was approachable and warm as a spring breeze. He pointed to a chair in the study and said to Xia Pingan.

Xia Pingan walked over and sat down. Shao Kangjie pointed at the book in his hand and asked Xia Pingan,” Have you read this book?”

” This ‘Huangji Jingshi’ is the product of your life’s efforts and wisdom. It is said that the wise men of ancient times could know 500 years in the past and 500 years in the future. However, your book completely understands all the changes, ups and downs, and the secrets of heaven on a planet for 129,600 years as if you have experienced it yourself. It is indeed the treasure of China and the source of wisdom. I have read it many times before and didn’t understand much. Today, I have only gained some enlightenment. Please enlighten me!”

The two of them started chatting in the study, forgetting about the time. They talked about the deduction of the Innate Eight Trigrams, the origin of the four time periods of the Prime Assembly and World Luck in the Imperial Classic, the principles of the Prime Assembly, the Prime Assembly, and the World Luck, the mysteries of observing things, the universal number of all things in the world, and the sincerity of the heart.

Xia Ping ‘an had forgotten how long he had chatted with Mister Kang Jie. It was only when Mister Kang Jie sent him out of the study that Xia Ping’ an suddenly realized that he had already passed this stage and was standing at the highest point of the altar.. The treasure chest was right in front of him, within reach…
