At the invitation of Genghis Khan, Qiu Chuji and his disciples traveled more than 10,000 miles for two years and four months to reach Genghis Khan's Snow Mountain Palace (now Afghanistan). Genghis Khan and Qiu Chuji talked three times. When talking about the fairy side, Qiu Chuji said to him; "There are no people who live forever, but those who live long can live to be over 100 years old if they can practice quietly." I also hope that he can "abstain from killing", promote filial piety, "strengthen the spirit inside, and be outside Xiu De", and "love and protect the people and make the world safe". Genghis Khan agreed with Qiu Chuji's idea of abstaining from killing and keeping in good health. After weighing the pros and cons of career and longevity, he resolutely chose the former. He said to Qiu Chuji, "You are the only one who saw me not kneeling, and the first person I met who persuaded me with sincere words." He accepted Qiu Chuji's thought of "respecting heaven and loving the people" and established the ideological system of the later Mongolian Empire.
