"well…… "
"Thanks for your hard work. "
Qin Shou's thoughts were quite complicated, and in the end, they turned into a sigh.
"It's not hard work."
Zhang Duan slowly shook his head, his dark eyes filled with a gray mist that made him appear somewhat sinister and strange.
"It was Zhang Duan's incompetence that he failed to protect Sister Wen. I beg for forgiveness from Master."
Zhang Duan knelt on the ground.
"Get up, I have never blamed you."
Seeing this, Qin Shou helped him up.
"If I have to blame someone, it's myself. I failed to even protect my own disciple."
A gentle breeze swept through the mountains. Qin Shou stood with his hands behind his back, perhaps seeing the face of an old friend, and thinking of the people of the past.
"Speak, what brings you here today?"
Qin Shou collected his thoughts and asked calmly.
“I want to bring back Sister Wen’s body,” Zhang Duan replied.
"Impossible." Qin Shou refused without even thinking, his expression even turning cold for a moment.
Seeing this, Zhang Duan quickly explained, "Master, I want to revive Sister Wen."
"!! Resurrection??"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shou's brows furrowed immediately.
"What's your plan?"
"Reporting to Master, for thousands of years, I have searched for all the ancient methods in the world, and finally found a secret in the Netherworld Scroll. This world was extremely glorious in ancient times and before, and even had beings above the Heavenly Immortal Realm."
Later, the world shattered and evolved into countless smaller worlds. However, in this world, a Dragon and Phoenix Terrace remained, said to be the place where the last true dragon and phoenix of ancient times perished. After millions of years of evolution, it formed a Nirvana treasure land.
I wish to place Sister Wen's body in this precious place, to be nourished by the power of heaven and earth here..."
Zhang Duan became more and more excited as he spoke, and his expression even became somewhat agitated.
Qin Shou frowned slightly as he looked at Zhang Duan, whose expression was bordering on madness.
"You've found this treasure trove?"
"I've pinpointed the approximate location; it's deep within the Life Mine. Once I venture deeper, I'm certain I'll find it."
"The Life Mine?" Qin Shou raised his eyes. "Do you know how terrifying it is? Even immortals might not be safe inside."
"I don't care, I will succeed."
Zhang Duan stared intently at Qin Shou, seemingly waiting for his reply.
Qin Shou pondered for a moment, "How confident are you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Duan fell silent for a moment, but quickly raised his head again. "Reporting to Master, I... am not very confident. But this is the only method I've found, and I will try as long as there's even the slightest chance."
"Do you know that Wen Qing's three souls and six spirits have all dissipated?" Qin Shou stared at Zhang Duan and said, "I have also tried many methods, but none of them have worked..."
“Master…” Zhang Duan interrupted, “Please believe me. I can assure you that 20,000 years ago, the first Demon Lord found this treasure land in the Mineral Zone of Life, which attracted the celestial beings and immortals, who then killed them all and turned them into nourishment, ultimately resurrecting one person.”
"If the first Demon Lord could do it, so can I."
"You can't do it."
The first Demon Lord was also known as the Demon Master. Qin Shou was familiar with this secret history. He had even asked the Demon Master about the veracity of this matter years ago. The Demon Master didn't recount the details, but he subtly informed Qin Shou that Qin Shou couldn't replicate his methods. Moreover, the reason he lured those immortals and gods down to the mortal realm was simply because, after countless eras of planning, he still lacked the final bit of nourishment. That's why he devised a plan to lure the celestial beings down to earth, ultimately burying them all in the forbidden zone.
Leaving aside whether Zhang Duan could summon the immortals and gods to the mortal realm, even if he could, he couldn't slay immortals like the Demon Lord, and might even backfire. More importantly, according to the Demon Lord, that treasure land was originally his own creation, and it was unlikely to be used a second time.
Qin Beast would absolutely not take that risk.
"Master, I can definitely do it."
Zhang Duan clenched his fists, his voice hoarse, almost a growl, as he said, "For this day, I endured four thousand years of utter darkness. Now I have finally found a way, and I will try even the slightest possibility!"
"In this life, no matter what, I will resurrect Sister Wen, resurrect my wife!!!"
"Even if it means becoming a demon or a monster... even if it means burying all living beings... even if it means eternal damnation and no reincarnation... I will do it, I must do it... because it is the only meaning of my existence."
Zhang Duan tried his best to control his voice, but his hoarse tone was still as chilling as a demon to people's ears.
"Where's Xiao Nuan? Have you seen Xiao Nuan?" Qin Shou asked him.
Zhang Duan fell silent, then shook his head. "She grew up on the mountain since she was a child. I believe she must be happy. She has her grandmaster's love and her uncles and aunts' care. I don't need to worry about her."
I just want to.....
My wife can come back...
"Sigh..." Qin Shou felt quite helpless, but he would not accept Zhang Duan's suggestion.
"Zhang Duan, have you considered that if you fail, Wen Qing will never be able to come back?"
"If we fail, I will perish together with Sister Wen."
"I disagree."
Qin Shou's expression gradually turned cold.
He won't take any risks until he finds the right way.
Bang!
Zhang Duan knelt on the ground and shouted:
"Please grant my request, Master."
"Your obsession runs too deep; you've become possessed."
"I don't care, I just want to revive Sister Wen."
"I also want to resurrect her, but I'll have to wait until I'm absolutely certain."
"Master, time waits for no one. The world here is in chaos; no one knows what tomorrow will bring. This is the most likely method I've found. If we open that Dragon-Phoenix Nirvana Treasure Land and place Sister Wen's body within it for nurturing, she will definitely be resurrected after tens of millions of years! She definitely will!"
"Alright, go back to where you came from."
Qin Shou flicked his sleeve, intending to leave.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Please grant my request, Master."
Zhang Duan kept hitting his head on the ground.
In an instant, his head was broken and blood flowed, blurring his face.
The Qin beast remained unmoved.
Seeing this, Zhang Duan prostrated himself on the ground and hoarsely cried out, "Master...please forgive my rudeness."
Zhang Duan slowly stood up, a surge of dark energy seemingly coursing through his body. In an instant, black mist obscured the sun and sky, plunging the entire Tianxuan Continent into darkness. Everyone felt as if a colossal demon was watching them from the heavens.
Qin Shou turned around, raising an eyebrow at him. "You want to forcibly take it?"
"Please forgive me, Master..."
Zhang Duan's voice was hoarse as he slowly raised his pale hand. A huge ghostly figure appeared, overlooking the heavens and earth, and reached out a giant hand from the sky to grab the Qin beast.
"hehe. "
Upon seeing this, Qin Shou gave a faint, cold laugh.
"With your current inhuman, ghost-like appearance, you dare to fight me... Overusing your power might lead to rejection by the Heavenly Dao of this place, and also a backlash from the great demons within you and that extraterrestrial demon."
Zhang Duan was startled; he hadn't expected Qin Shou to see through his problem at a glance.
Bang!
Qin Shou slowly raised his hand, and endless chaotic tribulation light surged, directly annihilating the enormous ghostly figure that blotted out the sky. The sky above Tianxuan Continent was once again bathed in sunlight, with clear skies and gentle breezes.
“..........”
Zhang Duan was stunned for a moment.
The next instant, he was grabbed by a large hand and hundreds of large slaps came over, dispersing all the malevolent energy on his body. Then, several beams of tribulation light entered his body, completely annihilating the few extremely evil ghosts and extraterrestrial demons that had not yet been completely refined.
"You little bastard, you've got some nerve, daring to lay a hand on me."
Qin Shou flicked his wrist and casually tossed Zhang Duan to the foot of the mountain.
"Let's discuss the matter of resurrecting Xiao Qing'er after you become an Immortal Venerable."
After leaving a sound, the Qin beast floated back up the mountain.
"Master..."
Zhang Duan knelt on the spot, at a loss for what to do.
