"The Six Paths of Reincarnation Decree?"
Qin Shou frowned. As a veteran book lover who had been influenced by online novels, he immediately sensed that this thing was extraordinary and might be a treasure.
“Master, I obtained this fan-shaped metal block in the Nine Heavens Secret Cave. I once gleaned many fragments of secrets from a stone wall deep within the cave, including information about this token.”
Xiao Xuan stroked the metal block in his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly. He paused for a moment, then said, "If I'm not mistaken, this item might be related to the legendary Ancient Immortal Venerable of Reincarnation."
Seeing his disciple's solemn expression, Qin Shou realized that this object was indeed extraordinary. So he reached out, placed the metal block in his palm, and examined it again, but still found nothing.
"Ancient Immortal Venerable of Reincarnation? That title sounds extraordinary."
Qin Shou frowned in thought, then suddenly looked up at Xiao Xuan, "Could it be... an Immortal Venerable?!"
How novel!
Xiao Xuan met Qin Shou's gaze and nodded in agreement. "It should be. The Nine Heavens Secret Cave records countless ancient historical secrets. I possess the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird God, which allows me to glimpse many of them, so I believe there's no mistake. Moreover, I think this token is very likely related to the great tomb that is about to appear in the world."
"this......."
The master and apprentice exchanged a glance, then simultaneously shook their shoulders and chuckled wickedly.
"A Celestial Venerable must possess a vast collection of treasures, right?"
"Hehe, there are so many that I can't even count them all."
"Yo yo yo, finally it's our turn to make a fortune!"
"Hehehe, yes, Master, so why don't you come down from the mountain and we, master and disciple, plot something big?"
Gaa!
The air fell silent instantly.
Snap!
A crisp slap rang out.
Xiao Xuan covered his swollen, red face, looking utterly aggrieved. "Master, could you please make the slaps more even next time? You've made my handsome face asymmetrical."
"Traitor!"
Qin Shou glared and roared, "Are you trying to make me think I've lived too long? Huh!"
"If this happens again, I'll beat you to death!"
Qin's chest heaved violently.
You said something similar last time.
Xiao Xuan asked, looking aggrieved.
"Master, what about the treasure?"
"Nonsense, of course you fetch it, and we, master and disciple, will split it 10/90."
"One...nine...?" Xiao Xuan paused for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Me, one, you, nine?"
"Oh!" Qin Shou raised an eyebrow. "Good disciple, please rise quickly. Do as you say. Your master will listen to you."
Xiao Xuan: ........What did I say? I was just asking a question!!!
"Master, could you lend me my junior sister and brother Da Bao for a while?"
Xiao Xuan blinked. "I feel safe with my junior sister by my side."
"This won't do."
Qin Shou refused without even thinking.
Yi Cheng is so silly, Da Bao... just like Yi Cheng, they're in the same boat.
Moreover, this tomb will attract not only forces from all over the Tianxuan Continent, but also many immortal forces from the upper realms. If they intend to target Yi Cheng, the situation could be extremely dangerous.
Most importantly, Qin Shou felt that this guy was a chosen one, so he shouldn't die so easily... right? But it's very likely that he sacrificed the people around him and then became incredibly powerful all the way through.
However, even if this guy is the chosen one of this world, Qin Shou thinks that his destiny might not be as strong as a fairy tale. As the saying goes, fools are often blessed.
However, Yi Cheng's intelligence is her biggest flaw, and it's best to completely eliminate any potential dangers.
"Wait a minute, do you know where that large tomb is?" Qin Shou asked Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan shook his head. "I don't know."
"..." Qin Shou, "Then what's the point of us being happy here for so long?"
Damn it! I thought I had finally gotten my hands on that scoundrel Yun Anran.
"Haha, Master, even if others find that great tomb, it's useless without this key," Xiao Xuan laughed.
Qin Shou looked up and frowned again, "The key?"
“Yes,” Xiao Xuan replied, “Legend has it that this Six Paths of Reincarnation Token is the key to unlocking the deepest treasure within the tomb of the Ancient Immortal Venerable of Reincarnation.”
"Do I need to collect all six pieces?"
Qin Shou was speechless. After all that, it turned out they only had one-third of a key.
“Yes, Master. However, as long as we hold one key, we will have a say when the tomb opens. Moreover, if any part of the key is missing, the tomb cannot be opened. Therefore, we will definitely not miss the opportunity once the tomb is unearthed.”
"Forget it, in the end, he's just an ancient immortal venerable, not an immortal emperor. Although his treasures are numerous and powerful, the risks are bound to be enormous. After all, even the immortal lords of the upper realms have begun to make their moves in the lower realms."
Qin Shou muttered a few words to himself, then became somewhat disheartened.
If I just hide in the mountains and cultivate quietly, I will eventually reach that level. There is no need to get involved in the karma of a Celestial Lord.
The only difference is that if I had a Celestial Treasure to aid my cultivation, my cultivation speed would be countless times faster than it is now, and at the very least, it would be enough to support my cultivation to the Celestial Lord realm.
"Master, what you're saying is terrible. That's the tomb of an ancient immortal! Let alone the risks, even if those people knew they were doomed, they would still go in without hesitation."
Xiao Xuan sighed and said, "Immortal Venerable, that kind of realm now only exists in legends. Sitting cross-legged on the river of time, circling the top of the Great Dao of the Heavens, one can destroy galaxies and turn oceans into fields in the blink of an eye. Even if a single eyebrow falls, it will be an abyss spread across the universe, which will not disappear for ten thousand years."
Reaching that level is almost equivalent to immortality.
And all living beings in this world, defying the heavens to cultivate the Dao, are seeking nothing more than the path to eternal immortality.
"Immortality, that's also what Master desires."
Qin Shou chuckled softly, extending his slender fingers to caress the warm, smooth surface of the teacup on the table. He then picked it up, took a slow sip, and said, "The title 'Reincarnation Immortal Venerable' sounds quite imposing, but I wonder just how powerful this being truly is?"
"How powerful!?" Xiao Xuan suddenly laughed. "Master, the title 'Immortal Venerable' alone says it all."
"However, when it comes to strength, this Ancient Immortal Venerable of Reincarnation is indeed very powerful."
"It is said that in a central immortal realm of the Upper Realm, there stands a towering stone tablet recounting the life and deeds of the Ancient Immortal Venerable of Reincarnation. Legend has it that this Ancient Immortal Venerable of Reincarnation was born into a top-tier lineage in the Upper Realm, a prodigy who was unmatched among his contemporaries in his region. However, later, that lineage was destroyed by various forces, and the young Ancient Immortal Venerable of Reincarnation had his immortal veins severed, becoming a cripple, his fate unknown..."
Countless years later, the boy whose immortal veins had been severed reappeared in the world's sight. With the cultivation of a True Immortal, he directly killed half of the geniuses at a grand Immortal Pride Tournament, turning the entire battle arena into a river of blood. Most of these geniuses were the seeds of immortal prodigies from those former rival lineages.
Later, he naturally faced relentless pursuit and assassination attempts...
Then he disappeared again.
After reappearing, he entered the Immortal Lord realm, sweeping away enemies from the eight regions, annihilating countless lineages, and completely eradicating all past karma.
Then, he disappeared again.
Legend has it that he entered the Netherworld to explore the secrets of reincarnation, attempting to resurrect his former blood relatives.
Later still... he entered the Immortal Venerable Realm, created the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and became the undisputed number one fighter in the Immortal Venerable Realm throughout history.
Unrivaled throughout the world, renowned throughout history.
"How could someone so powerful die?" Qin Shou couldn't help but ask.
Listening to the story of the Ancient Immortal Venerable of Reincarnation, he couldn't help but think of the being he had seen in the river of time.
He claimed to have killed a Celestial Emperor, though it's unclear whether that's true or not.
Even such a person died.
For some reason, Qin Shou felt a sense of panic whenever he heard that people who had cultivated to that level would die.
"I don't know."
Xiao Xuan was also very puzzled. The fact that this Ancient Immortal Venerable of Reincarnation could be called the number one fighter in the Immortal Venerable Realm was enough to show that his amazingness had long exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
Even such a person could not achieve immortality?
“Master, this Ancient Immortal Venerable of Reincarnation has been invincible in the Immortal Realm for 60 million years. It is said that he even deduced a technique into the Immortal Emperor Scripture. However, just when everyone thought that he would successfully obtain the Immortal Emperor status of that era with this technique, he suddenly disappeared and has never appeared in the world since.
Until news of his death gradually spread... and now, the immortals of the upper realm are plotting to descend to the mortal world.
I suspect they must have known the origins of this large tomb.
Qin Shou raised an eyebrow. "How do you know so much detail about the past of that ancient immortal being of the Samsara Realm?"
Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "Hehe, ever since I obtained this incomplete token, I have been collecting secrets about the ancient immortals of the Samsara. Until my last trip to the Central Divine Continent, I even secretly captured a genius from the Upper Realm and forced him to reveal some secrets about the Upper Realm."
The secret history of this ancient immortal venerable in the cycle of reincarnation is not a secret in the upper realm; on the contrary, it is known to everyone.
After all, this is rumored to be the most promising being in all the heavens and myriad realms for attaining the status of Immortal Emperor over the past tens of millions of years.
Xiao Xuan rubbed his hands together, and tentatively asked, "Master, I know you're afraid of death, but that's the legendary Immortal Emperor's Technique. If we, master and disciple, could obtain it, wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Hehehe... Hey, Master, your gaze is a bit strange. Did I say something wrong again...? Oh my god! I'm not afraid of dying, I meant... I meant... I meant you like quiet, aww~, I was just being blunt, ptooey, ptooey, not blunt, I was just being a smart aleck..."
Xiao Xuan was so frightened when he saw Qin Shou slowly taking off his shoes that he immediately stood up and ran into the yard.
"Yi Cheng, Si Wu secretly hid a lot of steamed buns at noon; those were your dinner, saved by your teacher."
Yi Cheng, who was playing with a little mouse's belly in the kitchen, immediately rushed out, pinching its big belly and laughing loudly.
"Hehehe, you dare steal goose buns? You'll get back ten thousand buns from the goose, and the goose will be made of dragon meat!"
"Squeak, 20,000!"
"No way! Thirty thousand? I, the King of Koi, want ten thousand!"
"Hehehe........."
In the courtyard, amidst a gentle breeze and light rain, another one-sided maneuvering and negotiation erupted.
