Fellow Daoist, Please Stay

The Six Great Caves-Heavens of Yan Nation had all been built atop ruins. These ruins had been passed down since ancient times, and it was said they were connected to a battle between peerless figures in a bygone era.

When Qin Sheng arrived at the Primordial Ruins, the place was already a gathering storm, carrying the momentum to shake heaven and earth.

At the deepest part of the ruins, radiant light shot into the sky. An ancient palace floated and sank in the air as many great figures shrouded in divine brilliance besieged it, attempting to force it open.

Qin Sheng was immediately intrigued.

I'm joining in too!

A dazzling divine rainbow streaked across the sky, but when he was still several miles from the ancient palace, Qin Sheng abruptly changed direction.

It was absolutely not because he was scared. It was merely because he had spotted Ye Fan.

"Yezi, why are you here?"

Ye Fan still looked like an eleven- or twelve-year-old child. After all, only around a year had passed since they had separated outside the Desolate Forbidden Land.

Upon seeing Qin Sheng, Ye Fan was overjoyed and hurriedly said,

"Qin Immortal, Pang Bo was possessed by something. His fate is unknown now!"

Qin Sheng understood. It was the remnant soul of Emperor Qing's nineteenth-generation descendant, which had been sealed away. It had targeted Pang Bo because of his Demon God Bloodline, intending to use his body for rebirth.

"Don't panic. Don't be anxious. Pang Bo will definitely be fine," Qin Sheng comforted him.

"Blessings hide disasters, and disasters contain blessings. Pang Bo has a firm will and extraordinary bloodline. This may well be his fortune."

Pang Bo would indeed turn misfortune into fortune this time and ultimately gain tremendous benefits.

The Demon Emperor Scripture and divine abilities were incomparably precious. They were most suitable for Pang Bo, whose bloodline was returning to its ancestors, and under normal circumstances, he could never have obtained them.

Rumble!

The sound of thunder rolled in from the horizon. Dozens of savage beasts bore cultivators upon their backs as they rode clouds and mist through the air.

A great banner fluttered in the wind, bearing four large characters:

Shaking Light Holy Land!

Immediately afterward, more than a dozen ancient war chariots arrived through the sky. The Ji Family had also charged in.

"Are these the overlords of the Eastern Wilderness?" Ye Fan exclaimed.

"Yes. They're all powerful lineages renowned across the Big Dipper Ancient Star." Qin Sheng nodded.

"The Shaking Light Holy Land possesses the Emperor Weapon, the Dragon-patterned Black Gold Cauldron, while the Ji Family possesses the Emperor Weapon, the Void Mirror."

The latter had drunk too much Supreme blood and was even more extraordinary than ordinary Emperor Weapons.

The experts of the Shaking Light Holy Land and the Ji Family charged into the ancient palace and engaged in a savage battle.

Qin Sheng watched with great admiration and said,

"This is intense! Being able to watch Dao Palace 'Supremes' attack the Demon Emperor's Tomb would make the ticket worth it even if I died!"

When Qin Sheng spoke of attacking Emperor Qing's Tomb, he was merely talking big to hype up the atmosphere.

But these "Supremes" were actually doing it!

Qin Sheng could not help but reflect. I'm far inferior to these people.

Ye Fan gazed into the distance and saw cracks appearing in the ancient palace's restrictions. His heart shook.

"Could Emperor Qing's Tomb really be breached by these peerless experts?"

"Awesome, awesome," Qin Sheng echoed.

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, a crystal coffin flew out from the ancient palace. Vast power swept everything aside, sending the cultivators outside the palace sprawling.

The crystal coffin opened, revealing a heart. Even after reappearing in the world after countless ages, it was still beating, its vitality as vast as a sea of stars.

Demonic power erupted, and more than a dozen members of Shaking Light and the Ji Family instantly exploded into bloody mist.

"The Sacred Heart of the Demon Race Emperor!"

"Stop it!"

A Ji Family expert shouted, "If other great demons obtain the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart, they may very well create another Demon Race Emperor!"

Qin Sheng: "..."

That guy was kind of funny.

The voice was so loud that it traveled for miles. Ye Fan's expression changed in shock when he heard it.

"I heard that the Demon Race Emperor once united the demons of the Eastern Wilderness. If another Demon Race Emperor truly appears, that would be terrifying!"

Qin Sheng found everything happening here absurdly amusing.

Many experts blocked off the area and pursued the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart. Seeing this, Qin Sheng reminded Ye Fan,

"Be careful. I'm going to fight over a few spiritual weapons."

Qin Sheng would not touch the Demon Emperor's Tomb, but the spiritual weapons spewing from the ancient palace were free loot.

He was already here, after all.

"Alright. I'll go somewhere safe. Qin Immortal, you must be careful too." Ye Fan retreated without hesitation.

He was still only at the Sea of Bitterness realm and could not participate in such a scene at all.

Qin Sheng rode a divine rainbow into the sky. Though Shaking Light and the Ji Family appeared imposing, they were actually only cultivators of the Other Shore and Dao Palace Secret Realm.

A divine sword flew out of the ancient palace and drifted through the air. Qin Sheng grabbed it, refined it in an instant, and stored it in his Sea of Bitterness.

He then set his sights on a great seal. This time, someone tried to compete with him.

"Get lost!"

With a fierce shout, boundless pressure directly sent that person crashing down.

In a short time, Qin Sheng obtained four spiritual weapons.

During this time, streaks of rainbow light arrived from Yan Nation and other places, joining the scramble.

Forces such as Shaking Light also received the news. True experts set up Domain Gates, crossing layer upon layer of space to descend directly upon this place.

Qilin pulled carriages while Flood Dragons cleared the way. Supreme might swept across heaven and earth. Qin Sheng immediately retreated and watched those great figures from afar.

There were five of them in total, surrounding the ancient palace. No one else dared approach.

"Great Abilities have arrived..."

The Shrouding Method had five Great Secret Realms: Sea of Bitterness, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, and Immortal Platform. Great Abilities were at the second realm of the Immortal Platform Secret Realm. In present-day Beidou, they were true peerless experts.

"That Demon Race Emperor was astonishingly talented, truly a peerless expert!"

"The remaining power in this tomb is likely less than a tenth of what the Demon Emperor possessed at his peak, yet it is still terrifying. We are inferior to him."

"..."

Come on, were they really evaluating him now?

Qin Sheng held back his laughter and did not dare make a sound, afraid the Great Abilities would hear him.

First came Dao Palace "Supremes" attacking Emperor Qing's Tomb, then Immortal Platform Great Abilities attacking Emperor Qing's Tomb, and later Four Extremes "Great Emperors" trying to seize the Emperor Qing Weapon. There was even Great Ability Nangong seeking to contend for a lifetime as an immortal.

Wonderful. Truly wonderful.

Compared to them, even Stone Emperor telling Wushi to come seemed incomparably humble.

The times were truly "regressing"!

The five Great Abilities were indeed unmatched in the current age. Emperor Qing's Tomb cracked open directly!

A huge number of spiritual weapons spewed out, making every cultivator present burn with greed.

Qin Sheng's gaze swept across the battlefield. Suddenly, he spotted someone, and his eyes lit up.

In a distant forest, a ruddy-faced fat Daoist priest was chasing after a banner-shaped treasure.

The Daoist priest had a round build but was unexpectedly agile. He grabbed the banner, his smile stretching from ear to ear.

"Fellow Daoist, be careful!" A voice brimming with concern rang out.

Qin Sheng flew over, looked at the fat Daoist priest, and said solemnly,

"Fellow Daoist, I see darkness upon your brow. I fear you are facing a bloody calamity."

The fat Daoist priest snorted. "What brat dares try to scare this Daoist master?"

"Not so, not so." Qin Sheng shook his head.

"Fellow Daoist, the banner in your hand is a demonic artifact, exceptionally vicious. Your bloody calamity will come from it."

"How about this? I'll suffer a little loss and bear the power of this demonic artifact for you, sparing you from this bloody calamity."

The fat Daoist priest flew into a rage. "You want to rob—"

Qin Sheng revealed his vast aura. His Dao Palace First Heaven cultivation completely crushed the fat Daoist priest.

Looking at the stiff-faced fat Daoist priest, Qin Sheng smiled kindly.

"Fellow Daoist, a bloody calamity awaits."

The fat Daoist priest gritted his teeth. "Senior is right. This truly is a demonic artifact. I'll give it to Senior and hope Senior can dissolve its vicious aura."

"You can be taught."

Qin Sheng accepted the banner with a cheerful smile and departed on a rainbow.

"Fellow Daoist, until we meet again."

"Boundless fucking Heavenly Venerable, may we never meet again!" The fat Daoist priest was so enraged that his body seemed to grow even rounder.

Qin Sheng was in high spirits. This fat Daoist priest was naturally Duan De. He had not expected Duan De to still be in the Sea of Reincarnation Secret Realm. It was fate!

"I wonder if Duan De has obtained the Swallowing Heaven Devil Canopy yet?"

The Swallowing Heaven Devil Jar was the Emperor Weapon Qin Sheng most wanted to obtain.

It had been refined from Ruthless's body from one of her Lifetimes, making it most suitable for the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art. Moreover, Beidou was too dangerous. Without an Emperor Weapon, he truly had no sense of security.

Elsewhere, Duan De found a small cauldron. This cauldron was even more extraordinary.

"Good, good, good! This Daoist master truly has heaven-defying luck."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Laughter rang out. Duan De's body went cold. The voice sounded familiar. He turned around to look.

Sure enough, that black-hearted brat had come again!

Without even looking back, he fled, trying to escape.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"

Qin Sheng called out, caught up to Duan De, and looked at the treasured cauldron in his hand with a righteous expression.

"This is serious, very serious. This cauldron is far too vicious. It may be an ancient demon or devil in disguise. Fellow Daoist, I fear you cannot suppress it."

Duan De looked as though he wanted to cry. "Senior, I think I can suppress it."

"You cannot." Qin Sheng shook his head.

"I can."

Qin Sheng smiled. "Fellow Daoist, a bloody calamity awaits."

"...Then I'll leave it to Senior."

Duan De's heart was bleeding.

"Sigh, for the sake of all living beings, it is only right that I suffer a little loss and hardship."

Qin Sheng said, "Fellow Daoist, when we meet next time, I will bring you good fortune again. Then we can drink and talk happily."

"You're paying for the wine."

Duan De trembled in rage. Shameless. Too shameless!

After this, Duan De learned his lesson. He headed directly for remote places, not wanting to encounter that black-hearted brat again.

Before a mountain, Ye Fan picked up a dagger and was delighted.

"Luck, what luck. I never expected to find a spiritual weapon as soon as I got here." Duan De arrived before Ye Fan and reached for the dagger with a smile.

"Child, this is a vicious weapon. Let me subdue it. You can't handle it."

Ye Fan was so angry that he wanted to punch the damned fatty a few times, but he still obediently handed over the dagger.

Not long afterward, a blood-red bead fell near Ye Fan. It was even more powerful than the dagger from before.

Ye Fan smiled happily, but the next moment, familiar laughter rang out.

Your... mother!

Ye Fan clutched the bead and turned to run.

"Ha ha ha..."

But suddenly, a second familiar laugh reached Ye Fan's ears. He turned his head to look.

Qin Sheng had arrived!

Seeing Duan De chasing Ye Fan, Qin Sheng laughed even louder.

"Fate is truly wondrous. Fellow Daoist, this is our third meeting. Wonderful!"

Duan De's face turned green. How could he run into this black-hearted brat everywhere he went?

Boundless fucking Heavenly Venerable, is this brat following this Daoist master?

"Senior, this time I don't have a vicious weapon. The vicious weapon is in that child's hands." Duan De shifted the blame.

Ye Fan's eyes rolled, and he shouted,

"Senior, I am unable to subdue this vicious weapon. I am willing to offer it to Senior!"

"Also, I obtained three demonic weapons earlier, all transformed from demons and devils, and I gave them to this Daoist priest!"

Duan De jumped in fury. "Brat, when did I take your three vicious weapons? Don't slander me!"

Ye Fan ignored him.

Qin Sheng came before Duan De with a beaming smile and patted his shoulder.

"Fellow Daoist, you understand, right?"

Duan De struggled. "Senior, can you give me a chance?"

"Fellow Daoist, black qi is soaring from above your head. A great calamity awaits you. Taking these vicious weapons from your hands is saving you."

Qin Sheng sighed heavily. "Do not disappoint my good intentions."

"Fellow Daoist, a bloody calamity awaits."

Duan De wanted to vomit blood. My bloody calamity was brought by you!

Feeling Qin Sheng's aura locked onto him, Duan De silently took out three spiritual weapons from his Sea of Bitterness, his face completely green.

What a sin!
