"Are you talking about Brother Meng? Don't worry, Brother Meng is a divine being and wouldn't covet the True Dragon Heavenly Technique."
"A divine being? Do you think immortal realms are as common as cabbages? Only one immortal realm appears in the Qingxuan Continent every hundreds of thousands of years. Do you really think that person has immortal realm cultivation?"
"But Brother Meng..."
"Alright, that's enough. With me inside the Chaos Pearl, he can't get in. After you leave, be very careful of this person. A Shattering Realm expert has a lifespan of eight thousand years. Who knows if this old monster who has lived for so long knows the secrets of my Qin family?"
“Ancestor, based on my understanding of Brother Meng, he is only interested in one thing, and he doesn’t care about any other divine skills or precious medicines.”
"Oh? What is it?"
"Money, cash!"
"Ridiculous! Have you lost your mind?"
Qin Liang felt that Qin Feifan was teasing him, otherwise why would such a strong person care about gold and silver?
"He's right, I am indeed only interested in money."
A soft voice sounded beside them.
"Brother Meng!"
Qin Liang asked in alarm, "You, how did you get in?"
Meng Fan spread his hands and joked, "That's how I came in, and I've been here for quite a while."
Upon hearing this, Qin Liang felt as cold as his name suggests.
"You, you, how did you escape my senses?"
"That's too easy. Once I know there's a trace of true spirit inside this bead, there are too many ways to escape your perception."
"What is your cultivation level? A Shattered Realm cultivator couldn't possibly escape my senses!"
"As for my cultivation level, just think of me as a very powerful immortal!"
"Immortal! Are you really an immortal?"
Why would I lie to you?
Qin Liang waved the surrounding mist and surged towards Meng Fan, saying earnestly, "If you are truly an immortal, you will not fear this chaotic immortal mist!"
"You mean that?"
Meng Fan simply raised his right index finger, and the mist that had been rushing towards him swirled back, instantly clearing the area around him of mist and making everything clear and bright.
Qin Liang stared blankly at Meng Fan's actions, speechless with astonishment.
Meng Fan chuckled and said, "Your Chaos Pearl was made from the clear and turbid mist in the Chaos Sea, but the person who made it was not very skilled and did not completely separate the clear and turbid mist. Otherwise, its power would have been several times greater."
Although Meng Fan had never seen these things before, his Heavenly Gang Divine Power was at its peak, and the knowledge involved was vast and profound. This was the terrifying aspect of the system's perfect comprehension bug! Therefore, Meng Fan was very familiar with this kind of thing.
Ignoring Qin Liang's stunned expression, he continued, "Why do you think Qin Feifan is so compatible with your so-called true technique? If I hadn't secretly altered his physical attributes, how could that kid have such great talent?"
“Brother Meng, when the golden light first entered my body, I felt every cell in my body was boiling. I originally thought it was because of the cultivation technique, but I never expected it to be an opportunity bestowed by Brother Meng.”
Qin Feifan scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"We've known each other for a while, and you're quite to my liking, so giving you this opportunity is nothing."
At this moment, Qin Liang finally came to his senses and stared at Meng Fan, saying, "You're probably trying to obtain the True Dragon Heavenly Technique by doing this!"
Meng Fan scoffed, “Your True Dragon Heavenly Technique does have its merits; it’s a method that leads directly to the Immortal Realm. But I have no fewer than ten methods that lead directly to the Immortal Realm here. Your True Dragon Heavenly Technique can only be cultivated to the Human Immortal Realm, so it’s not very tempting to me.”
"How dare you boast! If you're so capable, show me a cultivation technique that can lead you to the True Immortal realm!"
"I'm not that bored to play games with you, so I'm leaving now."
Seeing Meng Fan about to leave, Qin Liang quickly stopped him, saying, "Wait, are you going to break Qingxuan's seal?"
"Qingxuan and I have a karmic connection. I will guard this place for a hundred years, and then break the seal. I learned from the Heavenly Dao that although the seal protects the Qingxuan Continent, it is of no benefit to the Heavenly Dao. Haven't you felt that over the past 100,000 years, the cultivation levels of the cultivators in Qingxuan have been getting lower and lower? They can't even be reborn as Shattered Ones!"
"Could it be that Ancestor Qin Shuang made a mistake?"
Meng Fan shook his head and said, "What your ancestor did wasn't entirely wrong. I reckon his original intention was to seal Qingxuan first, and then break the seal when a powerful figure in the future embarks on the path of immortality. But you guys are disappointing. Not to mention the Immortal Realm, there are very few even at the Shattering Realm. This is why the sealing of Qingxuan has been taking longer and longer. As time goes by, Qingxuan has been isolated in the universe for a long time, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has depleted. Now, even the Shattering Realm is a luxury. If this continues, Qingxuan might even become a world in the end of Dharma!"
"Aren't you from the fairyland? Weren't you born in the Azure Mystery?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Just know that I have no ill intentions towards Qingxuan, and I have no interest in the inheritance of your Qin family."
Upon hearing this, Qin Liang suddenly knelt down and said, "Senior, I am narrow-minded and offended your majesty earlier. Please punish me!"
"Punishment? What can I punish you for? You're in this state, what can I possibly punish you for, to the point of complete annihilation?"
“Senior, my ancestor Qin Shuang said that if someone is born on the path to immortality, we should go to the center of the earth to retrieve his token, which contains a secret.”
"You didn't know that secret?"
"Only by opening it with the blood of the Qin family descendants can we know the answer."
"No wonder there was a message left at the center of the earth that didn't match what you said. Can you tell if it's this token?"
As he spoke, a token appeared in Meng Fan's palm.
The front is engraved with the character "Qin" and the back features a five-clawed golden dragon, which is the token that Hu Li retrieved from the Earth's core pearl.
"Yes, this is it, Qin boy, hurry up and get the blood!"
"What? Another blood draw? They took three pounds of my blood today!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Qin Feifan had no choice but to face the two of them, even though he was unwilling. He immediately endured the pain and cut open his already healed wound again.
As blood dripped in, the token suddenly shone brightly red, eventually forming several lines of small characters in the air: "The Starry Sky Palace has drawn Jian Youzi of the Void Nether Sect, whose power is unstoppable. To resist the powerful beings from beyond the realm, I submitted to Jian Zhen of the Sword River Sect, causing the death of 300 million lives for his Blood-Drinking Sword Diagram. Although I have attained immortality, I know my sins are grave. I fought Jian Youzi to the death and fortunately severely injured and repelled him. However, the coordinates of Qingxuan were exposed, and I had no choice but to seal Qingxuan before my death, so that my descendants of Qingxuan would not become a breeding ground for the Starry Sky forces. When future generations see this, they should carefully open the seal. Qin Shuang's last words!"
The three of them fell silent for a moment upon seeing this. Meng Fan sighed and said, "Your ancestor was quite a man of courage, managing to manipulate two immortal forces at will."
After reading this passage, he understood how perilous the situation had been. Qin Shuang was able to survive under one immortal power and grow under another, ultimately outmaneuvering both powers and protecting Qingxuan. Such character alone was worthy of admiration.
