Great Emperor Burial Shroud?

"Daoist friend, I'm heartbroken. You've damaged the friendship between us."

"I had an Emperor Weapon, yet I still dealt with you honestly. But you were plotting to stab me in the back. You're really not acting like a human being."

Qin Sheng let out a long sigh. "Lost trust is hard to mend. The holes carved into a tree will not heal with the passage of time, but I'm willing to give you a chance, Daoist friend."

"I'm just that kind!"

Duan De cautiously asked, "Qin Immortal, what do you mean?"

Qin Sheng smiled. "Daoist friend, you know it—bloody disaster."

Duan De nearly coughed up blood. Back at the Demon Emperor's Tomb, those four words had already extorted several spirit weapons from him. And now this again!

"I really have nothing left," Duan De argued.

The Swallowing Heaven Devil Canopy swayed lightly. Qin Sheng stared at Duan De and said with a smile:

"Daoist friend, you might want to reconsider your Yan."

The swaying Swallowing Heaven Devil Canopy made Duan De's heart pound. He immediately became honest.

"This jade bottle is a Great Ability Weapon. Once someone is taken into the bottle, they will turn into a puddle of pus and blood within three quarters of an hour. It can also contain all the waters of the Five Lakes and Four Seas."

Duan De painfully tossed over the jade bottle, his heart bleeding.

"Not bad, not bad." Qin Sheng put away the jade bottle, then looked toward the black bone fragment.

"..."

Duan De cursed Qin Sheng's ancestors in his heart. Gritting his teeth, he tossed over the bone fragment as well.

Qin Sheng nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Daoist friend, misfortune hangs over your head, baleful energy coils around you, and you carry a sinister object on your person. It may endanger your life."

"But don't worry. I've always been eager to help those in need, so I won't simply ignore you." Qin Sheng sighed.

"Meeting me can be considered your good fortune, Daoist friend."

Seeing Qin Sheng look at the tattered cloth on him, Duan De immediately shook his head.

"This really won't do!"

"It can."

"No!"

Duan De was exceptionally resolute this time. Qin Sheng hesitated no longer and directly used the Swallowing Heaven Devil Canopy.

"Let's be reasonable!"

"Ah!"

Duan De shrieked. Brilliant light burst from his body as the tattered cloth erupted with unprecedented radiance and divine might. The drops of blood on it fell away, transforming back into blood.

"Qin, you bastard! Scumbag! Black-hearted maggot!" Duan De cursed furiously.

"Your surname is Qin now too," Qin Sheng replied unhurriedly.

The Swallowing Heaven Devil Canopy faced the tattered cloth. That black blood evolved into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, a terrifying sight.

But no matter how flashy it became, the Devil Canopy remained unmoving, suppressing the Myriad Heavens for all eternity.

Boom!

The heavens collapsed and the earth split. A streak of black light appeared a hundred thousand li away.

"Boundless fucking Heavenly Venerable! This Daoist lord will return!"

Watching Duan De flee by some unknown method, Qin Sheng smiled and shook his head.

"Why run? It's not like I'd really do anything to you."

Duan De had never intended to kill Qin Sheng. From beginning to end, he had only wanted to rob him.

Qin Sheng had no intention of keeping Duan De behind either. He could not do so, and there was no need to.

But if he treated Duan De the way he treated Ye Fan, then that Wicked Daoist would definitely swindle him out of even his underwear.

When dealing with that Fatty, one had to guard against being scammed by him while also taking the initiative to scam him. That was the proper way.

He absolutely could not let Duan De think he was easy to bully, or he would be bullied to death.

No, even if he died, Duan De would still dig up his grave!

"I'm out of here." Qin Sheng fled as well.

The disturbance here had been far too great. Even an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon had appeared, so it would surely alert others.

"What exactly is this thing?"

Qin Sheng examined the tattered cloth in his hand over and over, but he still could not discern its origins.

He had not kept all of Duan De's tattered cloth. He had merely used the Swallowing Heaven Devil Canopy to tear off a palm-sized corner, one without even the most important bloodstains.

This palm-sized scrap of cloth could be considered Duan De sacrificing his tail to survive.

Recalling the scene when Duan De had used the tattered cloth, Qin Sheng guessed:

"Could it be a corpse shroud?"

After all, Duan De had spent several lifetimes dealing with tombs and corpses.

"Great Emperor Burial Shroud? That's possible. That Wicked Daoist may not have much else, but he certainly has plenty of Emperor Corpses."

However, without question, even a Great Emperor Burial Shroud could not be more powerful than a true Emperor Weapon.

"No matter what realm the corpse shroud came from, it's still a treasure."

Qin Sheng happily put away the tattered cloth. This time, he had undoubtedly made a huge profit.

A Great Ability jade bottle, a mysterious corpse shroud, a Source Technique bone fragment, and most importantly, the Dao-Life Mother Stone. What a bountiful haul!

Holy City.

Qin Sheng only returned after hiding outside for more than ten days. Even so, he heard many Yan.

"A mysterious person used an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon to confront someone a few days ago and nearly sank the Eastern Wilderness!"

I never wanted to sink the Eastern Wilderness.

"It was terrifying! I heard that a million li of land collapsed."

Don't make things up. How could it have covered such a huge area?

"It seems that the Four Symbols Holy Land's Source Mine was also shaken into collapse, causing the loss of a great number of Source Stones."

Hmm? The place where Duan De and I traded was a hundred and eight thousand li away from the Four Symbols Holy Land's Source Mine. How could it possibly have affected that place?

The Yan in Holy City grew increasingly outrageous. They bore no resemblance at all to what Qin Sheng, the person involved, had experienced, leaving him speechless.

Qin Sheng walked through Holy City, passing one Stone Workshop after another. Looking at the lively scenes inside, his hands began to itch.

During this period, he had seriously studied Origin Emperor's Source Technique and gained much from it. Now, he was eager to try it out.

"Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth," Qin Sheng muttered inwardly.

"Empty theory won't do. Only by accumulating more experience can I improve my mastery of Source Technique."

Four Symbols Stone Workshop. Qin Sheng stopped outside the Door.

You'll do!

"Junior Brother Qin Sheng?" someone called at that moment.

Qin Sheng turned and saw a group of people walking over from the distance.

"Zhou Siyang?"

He was a Candidate Saint Son of Shaking Light Holy Land, at the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

After Qin Sheng had dispatched his divine spirit and defeated Chen Han, Elder Li had given him information on every Candidate Saint Son-level disciple in Shaking Light Holy Land so that he could familiarize himself with them.

Otherwise, it would be rather awkward to leave the Door and not even recognize his own fellow disciples.

"What is it, Senior Brother Zhou?" Qin Sheng's expression remained calm, showing no enthusiasm.

Zhou Siyang came from Azure Sun Peak. That peak had an extremely poor relationship with Dragon-Pattern Peak, and the two were practically mortal enemies.

"Haha."

Zhou Siyang said with a smile, "I heard long ago that Junior Brother Qin had come to Holy City. I previously sought you out, intending to welcome you with a feast, but I couldn't find you. I finally get to see you today."

"There's no need for a welcoming feast." Qin Sheng shook his head.

"Junior Brother Qin, this is the Nangong Family's prodigy, Daoist friend Nangong Fang. His Source Technique is extraordinarily profound. And this is..."

Zhou Siyang introduced the people around him. They were all young talents from various holy lands and aristocratic families. He then continued:

"I see that Junior Brother intends to enter the Four Symbols Stone Workshop. Could it be that you are also interested in Source Stones?"

"I'm just taking a look around," Qin Sheng replied.

"Ha, Brother Nangong's Source Technique has improved lately, and he plans to test his skills at the Ji Family Stone Workshop."

Zhou Siyang said, "Junior Brother can come with us. When the time comes, Daoist friend Nangong can offer you some guidance. You might gain greatly from it as well."

Nangong Fang glanced at Qin Sheng. "I don't offer guidance to just anyone, but I have heard Daoist friend Qin's name."

"How about this? The Source cut from the Source Stones will be divided thirty-seventy, and I'll offer Daoist friend Qin some pointers."

"Why do I only get seventy percent?" Qin Sheng asked.

Zhou Siyang smiled. "Junior Brother, you jest. The seventy percent is Daoist friend Nangong's."

Qin Sheng laughed. "I pay for the Source Stones. If nothing comes out, I bear the loss alone. But if there's profit, I have to give him seventy percent?"

Wouldn't that make me a beggar on my knees?

"Of course. Not just anyone can receive Daoist friend Nangong's guidance." Zhou Siyang smiled pleasantly.

"I'm not interested. If you're going to the Ji Family Stone Workshop, then go. Don't come bother me." Qin Sheng turned and entered the Four Symbols Stone Workshop.

What Source Arts Family? They were nothing but trash.

Qin Sheng was someone whom Origin Emperor himself had regarded as a heaven-sent genius upon seeing him, weeping and begging to pass down his Source Technique to him. He could not refuse even if he wanted to.

No need to revive Origin Emperor. I will surpass Origin Emperor!
