Chapter 164 Seeking Death
Haotian blessed land, Xiangang City.
As a port that was once connected to the fairyland, Xiangang City is majestic and magnificent. Hundreds of years ago, there were legends of immortals descending from it.
Many gods under the command of the immortals who once suppressed demons also preached throughout the world, opened up the martial arts of this world, and led their successors to fight against the evil gods and demons in the demon world.
Now, more than three hundred years have passed, and there are no traces of immortals anymore, and gods and demons no longer appear.
Even the Altar of Ascension in Xiangang City, the sacred object that connects to the fairyland, has been silent for a long time.
Xiangang City, originally the temporary residence of immortals, has fallen into decline over the past hundred years. Not only does it no longer resemble the holy land of martial arts it once was, but even the top masters of the world have disappeared for many years.
At this time, in the core area of the City Lord's Mansion, in front of the slightly dilapidated altar, there were two people standing in front of a ten-foot-high altar.
One of the boys, who was a bit thin, was kneeling in front of the altar.
He was fourteen or fifteen years old, and his eyebrows and eyes had not yet fully grown, but his deep and outstanding facial features, starry eyes, sword-like eyebrows, high nose bridge, and broad and full forehead all showed his extremely outstanding appearance.
At this moment, he was kneeling in front of the altar, gritting his teeth, his expression filled with anticipation, nervousness, and more of unwillingness.
Behind him, a young man wearing a brocade training robe and a long sword in a bronze dragon-carved scabbard stood with his hands behind his back.
He was in his early twenties, with a reserved aura, and though he had an obvious air of nobility, he had a gentle temperament, without the childishness of youth or the arrogant and overbearing airs of nobility.
Fan Qiuheng looked at Sun Qi who was kneeling in front of the altar, his expression was a little gloomy, but more of helplessness.
He said gently, "Young Master Sun, why should you be constrained by obsession? Taking over the position of city lord, governing the area, and creating a pure land would be a great contribution to this difficult era of demonic chaos in the world!"
Sun Qi is the descendant of the Haotian Immortal who lived hundreds of years ago. It is rumored that the Haotian Immortal sealed off the Demon Realm and killed the Demon King.
It is rumored that the descendants of the immortals are also subject to the jealousy of the will of the demon world and the curse of the demon lord before his death. Not only are they not popular and have only one lineage, but they are also weak and sickly and unable to practice martial arts.
Sun Qi gritted his teeth and said, "If I can't wield the sword to slay the demons and save the people from disaster, then my life in this world would be in vain, and I would have received the Saint Lady's divine elixir in vain.
Furthermore, I received an ancestral talisman in my dream, and upon waking it was beside my pillow. This must be a sign of reconnecting with the immortal world!"
In front of Sun Qi, there was a faint black ash, which was left by the talisman that had just been ignited.
Gaining enlightenment in a dream, as long as you light the talisman, you can activate the altar and summon the gods from the fairy world to descend.
However, his hopes at this moment had gradually sunk to the bottom.
When Fan Qiuheng heard the word "saint" from Sun Qi's mouth, his brows furrowed slightly, a hint of admiration and jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.
The Holy Maiden of the Dongyan Holy Land is the youngest Grandmaster in three hundred years. She is the most likely to become the legendary god-like beauty and is admired and respected by countless people.
Three years ago, Zuo Huaiqiu, the great master of the left path, received the initiation of demonic energy and became a demon god.
Among the nine demon generals he recruited and trained, the weakest Green Goblin had the strength close to that of a grandmaster. He once was besieged by four top righteous masters in the world, but he injured them and escaped without any injury.
Now, in just three years, demons have already spread to the world, the path of justice is in danger, and the people are in dire straits.
In order to deal with the demonic chaos, the Holy Maiden Dongyan also shut herself up in a pure room two years ago, fighting against the sky, the earth, and herself, trying to break the limit between humans and gods and achieve godhood.
Before the saint went to a secret place for retreat, she gave a nine-orifice magic pill that could change one's fate and a mysterious atlas to an unknown child, who was Sun Qi in front of him.
Sun Qi is rumored to be a descendant of an immortal whose bloodline has been cut off. This was calculated by the saint after she comprehended the mysteries of heaven.
Fan Qiuheng shook his head secretly with worry in his eyes. Even if Sun Qi obtained the Nine Aperture Divine Pill from the Saint Lady, he had too little time to practice martial arts.
Although Sun Qi has now become a master of character, he is only at the first level of character. He has just established his martial arts foundation and is far from being a master.
As for the so-called receiving the ancestral edict in a dream, it is even more nonsense.
Whether it is the royal family or the other three holy places, there is a consensus that the reason why the Holy Maiden of Dongyan was able to surpass her master, the Lord of Dongyan Mountain, was because of the adventure she had.
The atlas she gave to Sun Qi might contain the secrets of heaven and earth, or the techniques of immortals.
The Lord of Dongyan Mountain once said that the atlas was hidden on Sun Qi's body, and only when Sun Qi became a grandmaster one day could it be truly activated.
In order to prevent others from coveting the inheritance, the Grand Master, the Lord of Dongyan Mountain, personally found Sun Qi and protected the successor of the Dongyan Saint at close range.
“Could it be that Sun Qi has achieved his character, and the Lord of Dongyan Mountain secretly used his spiritual power to make Sun Qi fall into a dream?”
Fan Qiuheng secretly thought that for a grandmaster who could project his spirit outward and merge it into the world, performing the secret arts of the spirit was extremely easy.
But he naturally didn't dare to say it out loud. He had been weak since childhood and had poor aptitude in martial arts. His influence among the princes was considered weak.
Sun Qi also had a connection with him, as he had once worked as a horse keeper in his mansion for a period of time.
Because Sun Qi was dedicated to his work and took good care of his horses, he was clear about rewards and punishments. He also happened to learn that Sun Qi was weak, and he felt sympathy for him, so he took extra care of him.
It is precisely because of this relationship and fate that he can now come here to burn incense and win over the Grand Master, the Lord of Dongyan Mountain, by making friends with Sun Qi.
Sun Qi waited for a long time, but there was still no sound from the altar. He gritted his teeth, and although he was unwilling in his heart, he still stood up with a bitter expression.
It’s not that he is not pious, but that his time cannot be wasted.
