Chapter 565 Qin Zhengqiu's True Motives
Is it true that the destiny of this world can only allow one person to become an immortal?
The moment Wei Changtian heard this question, he immediately recalled the story of "encountering an immortal in a dream" that he had made up in order to trick Qin Zhengqiu into killing Xiao Feng.
Looking at the latter's back, he subconsciously wanted to answer "Of course it's true."
But just as the words were about to come out of his mouth, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning.
Wait, why did Qin Zhengqiu ask this? You know, he didn't know that Kuilong had once given birth to a true immortal. Even if he knew, a thousand years later, that immortal would probably be dead.
In other words, from Qin Zhengqiu's perspective, there should be no immortals in this world at present.
Then why does he care so much about "becoming an immortal"?
After all, under normal circumstances people don't care about issues that are too far away from their lives.
For example, a farmer who works on the farm all day only cares about the weather and the harvest. He doesn't care about the scientific phenomena behind the weather, rain, snow, or the natural laws of crop growth.
So since Qin Zhengqiu asked this question, it at least shows that he thinks "immortals" are not out of reach.
Could it be that my grandfather wants to become an immortal?
But what is his basis? ? Yes, with the help of the Moon-Picking Sword, Qin Zhengqiu has stood at the top of ten thousand people. Now he may be only one step away from the first rank, or maybe he has already reached the first rank.
But no one in this world knows what conditions are needed to go from the first level to the true immortal.
How can Qin Zhengqiu wait a moment! Suddenly, Wei Changtian's Adam's apple moved, and for a moment he felt a chill on his spine.
It was not until now that he realized something, and from this he came up with a terrifying guess about "why Qin Zhengqiu didn't want the real dragon forehead scales."
Perhaps, what Qin Zhengqiu wanted was not the first-grade realm.
He just wants to become an immortal.
[True Dragon Forehead Scale (special item), can improve the user's realm by one level, no restrictions, 5000 points]
From the moment he obtained the True Dragon Forehead Scale, Wei Changtian's plan for using this item was to help himself break through from the second rank to the first rank.
Although he had no choice but to use up his forehead scales in advance in order to deal with the Zhenshan Camp, this was indeed his plan before that.
This undoubtedly means that in Wei Changtian's mind, the first level is already the pinnacle of martial power in this world.
There’s nothing wrong with this idea.
Because in the original novel, Xiao Feng didn't break through to the first level until the finale, and there was no description of him becoming a true immortal from beginning to end.
But when the Tiaoyue Sword Technique appeared outside the plot, everything changed.
The Tiaoyue Sword can help people break through to the first level, while the True Dragon Forehead Scale can ignore any rules and raise the level to a higher level.
So, what if I first use the Moon-Picking Sword to cultivate to the first level, and then use the forehead scale? The original book mentioned that the first level is "half-immortal", so wouldn't it be "true immortal" if I go up to the next level? Wei Changtian hadn't thought about this carefully before, after all, he was only the third level now, and it was still a long way from this step.
What's more, he had already given up the Moon-Tiaoting Sword.
But just because he hasn't thought about it doesn't mean Qin Zhengqiu hasn't thought about it.
Perhaps the reason why the latter did not take the real dragon forehead scale was not because of any family affection, but simply because he did not want to "waste" such a treasure.
Because if he accepted the forehead scales at that time, he would have to use them immediately, and would have lost the chance to become an immortal.
That’s why Qin Zhengqiu deliberately refused, wanting to wait until he broke through to the first level before using this treasure to “ascend to immortality”! “.”
The sunlight shines through the military tent, illuminating every corner of the tent.
But Wei Changtian, who was in the middle of it, had his back soaked in cold sweat.
After that period of thinking, several breaths of time have passed.
Qin Zhengqiu had already turned around slowly, waiting for his answer with an expressionless face.
"Grandpa."
Forcibly suppressing the emotions in his heart, Wei Changtian knew that he had to say something now, so he pretended to be hesitant and asked:
"Why do you ask that?"
“.”
Qin Zhengqiu did not answer his question, but asked it again in a calm tone.
"Changtian, you don't need to care why I'm asking. Just tell me whether this is true or not."
"You said this to me in person. I think you haven't forgotten it."
Shit! As expected!
Looking at Qin Zhengqiu's expression, Wei Changtian realized that his guess was most likely true.
In this way, he could not give a definite answer no matter what.
Because in Qin Zhengqiu's view, his grandson is the "most powerful" competitor on his road to becoming an immortal! So once Qin Zhengqiu believes that only one person in this world can become an immortal, then his fate can be imagined.
Perhaps, the sword that killed 3,000 soldiers in one blow outside Guanghan City was not the "accidental killing" of his "grandfather."
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian slowly revealed an expression of struggle.
He deliberately didn't look Qin Zhengqiu in the eye, but half lowered his head and said with difficulty:
"In fact, the story about meeting a fairy in a dream was all made up by me."
"At that time, Xiao Feng and I had a life-and-death feud, but this man had great magical powers, and I failed to kill him many times before."
"I wanted to ask you, Grandpa, to help me eliminate the enemy, so I made up this story."
"Made it up?"
After hearing Wei Changtian's explanation, Qin Zhengqiu was just slightly stunned, and it was unclear from his expression whether he believed it or not.
"Then why were you able to walk the 300 steps to heaven?"
“.”
"That's because I got a treasure that can block auras in advance in order to attract your attention."
Wei Changtian continued to make up stories with a look of "guilt" on his face: "I was just trying my luck, but I didn't expect this treasure to be able to fool Tongtian Road."
"Really?"
Looking at Wei Changtian, Qin Zhengqiu narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
But after a moment, his face returned to normal, and he sighed softly, "Alas, Changtian."
"You don't have to go to such great lengths."
"I'm your grandpa. If you ask me, I will help you. Why would you make up a story like that?"
"Yes, I was confused at the time."
Following Qin Zhengqiu's words and admitting his mistake, Wei Changtian's eyes were quite "sincere": "Now I hope Grandpa will forgive me."
"That's all. Let's leave it at that."
Shaking his head, Qin Zhengqiu said nothing more and turned to walk out of the military tent.
"Changtian, don't forget to discuss this matter at Lingbo Pavilion in the days to come."
"Yes, my grandson will never forget it."
Following Qin Zhengqiu out of the tent, Wei Changtian replied softly, "Grandpa, take care."
"Um."
“.”
The midday sun was blindingly bright, and many monsters were drinking water by the endless winding Sand River.
Soldiers in the camp came and went in an orderly manner, and the dust raised by their footsteps reflected a misty golden light.
Soon, Qin Zhengqiu's figure disappeared at the end of the sight.
After he left, the respectful look on Wei Changtian's face disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Wei Changtian didn’t know whether Qin Zhengqiu believed what he said or not, nor did he know whether Xu Suisui told him anything else.
But one thing is certain.
That is, even if the Tiao Yue Sword did not make Qin Zhengqiu go astray, his grandfather was no longer the same "person" as before.
Sure enough, humanity’s quest for greater strength is like its quest for power.
Not only is it endless, but everything can be sacrificed for it.
