Chapter 297: Ancestor Qingmang Of The Witch Sect? War Or Peace?

Edited by: Mochiusagi

Outside the Fire Element Source.

Fei Yu was kneeling when he suddenly discovered something, as he looked towards the Fire Element Source.

“What happened?”

Fei Yu’s face changed slightly.

The Fire Element Source, which was originally filled with a dense fire energy, had completely turned silent. Soon, all of the fire power converged to a figure that had appeared at the entrance at some point in time.

“My Lord?”

Fei Yu looked at the figure and his eyes immediately opened wide in disbelief.

A jaded man simply stood there quietly, as he began to pull vitality from the depths of the void. In his eyes was the image of the dazzling sun.

The man’s appearance was basically 90% identical to Fei Yu’s memory of Su Qin. However, there were subtleties and slight changes. It was these that made up the man’s aura. At this moment, he was like the Sun God, Ra.

He was perfect in every way.

“It’s me.” Su Qin glanced at Fei Yu and said indifferently.

Although his voice was still the same as before, it had become deep and powerful. As Fei Yu listened to it, he actually felt his blood boil.

“Is that really you my Lord?”

Fei Yu was dumbfounded. He soon calmed himself down, suppressing the unrest of his Qi, blood and True Essence.

In just one year, Su Qin seemed to have been reborn.

That’s right, the only thought in Fei Yu’s mind at this moment was the word ‘reborn’. If it was said that the previous Su Qin was like an abyss; unpredictable. Now, he was like the great sun in the sky, fierce and fiery.

Fei Yu could never have imagined that there would be such a huge change in the world. If it weren’t for the great similarities, he would have probably thought that the man in front of him and Su Qin were different people.

Fei Yu was also not wrong in thinking this either.

After the [Burning Sun Divine Art] reached the Small Accomplishment, the fire energy had completely ‘transformed’ Su Qin’s body into a Golden Crow Divine Body.

“Congratulations, my Lord, for entering the Earth Immortal Realm!” Fei Yu’s thoughts turned rapidly. He immediately knelt down and congratulated Su Qin.

The change in Su Qin was simply too great, be it from the inside to the outside. Even his temperament had changed. Other than breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm, there was no other situation that would explain this.

Only a big leap in a breakthrough would have such a big change to a person.

“Earth Immortal Realm?” Su Qin pondered for a moment. He looked at his hands, then shook his head: “I’m not an Earth Immortal yet.”

“Not an Earth Immortal deity?” Fei Yu blankly blinked his eyes, he could not respond.

“However, although I’m not an Earth Immortal, if…” Su Qin clenched his fists, and a strange light flashed past his eyes, “If an Earth Immortal comes, I can fight them.”

Originally, Su Qin thought that the breakthrough would only allow him to fight an Earth Immortal for one or two moves. But now, with the Golden Crow Divine Body and the awakening of the Fire Element eye Magic Power, even if an Earth Immortal was in front of him, Su Qin was confident that he could fight the former, killing them.

Su Qin’s strength, speed, and defense had been increased by the Golden Crow Divine Body by several times. His Qi and blood were as majestic as an ocean. So even an Earth Immortal’s Great Domain would not be able to suppress him.

At the thought of this, a smile appeared on Su Qin’s face.

Although he had all kinds of trump cards in the past, and have many Divine Arts at the Earth Immortal Realm level, like the [Buddha’s Palm], in the end, it’s only their power reaching that level. They’re not actually at the Earth Immortal Realm.

Now, Su Qin had basically entered the Earth Immortal Realm in almost all aspects. His every move would be the same as an actual Earth Immortal’s attack.

Of course, this was not to say that the [Buddha’s Palm] was inferior to the [12 Divine Beasts Figures]. The two just specialized in different aspects.

When Cultivated to the extreme, the latter allowed Su Qin to transform into a Divine Beast and master its full power. The [Buddha’s Palm]’s strength, on the other hand, can be increased infinitely along with the user’s strength.

In short, at the initial stage, the former gave Su Qin a greater boost, while at the true upper limit, it was weaker than the [Buddha’s Palm].

“Alas, the current state of my Golden Crow Divine Body cannot be maintained without any limitation. It seems to require the consumption of Qi and blood…”

Su Qin inspected the changes carefully and deduced.

Su Qin’s speed, strength and defense may have increased tens of times or hundreds of times with the Golden Crow Divine Body, but this was not without cost.

It was slowly consuming Su Qin’s Qi and blood.

According to this trend, in a few months at most, Su Qin’s Qi and blood would be exhausted.

“Forget it.”

“Let’s deactivate the Golden Crow Divine Body for now…”

Su Qin’s thoughts moved and the aura within his body began to rapidly converge. Soon, the eternally burning sun in his eyes began to slowly extinguish. The fire power gathered within the ancestral orifice in Su Qin’s brow, turned into a palm-sized Three-legged Golden Crow that landed on the shoulders of his spirit.

“So, with just one thought, I can quickly reactivate the Golden Crow Divine Body?” Su Qin stroked his chin in thought.

At this moment, his aura changed once again, back to the Sun God.

“My Lord…”

Fei Yu blinked his eyes and secretly sighed in relief.

The pressure that Su Qin emitted when the Golden Crow Divine Body was activated was too strong. It was as if Fei Yu was always near a furnace. Even with Fei Yu’s Peak Legend Cultivation, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

But now, after Su Qin returned to ‘normal’, it was much easier for Fei Yu. Although the oppressive feeling was still there, it was no longer as dazzling as before.

“Let’s go back.”

After Su Qin withdrew the Golden Crow Divine Body and slowly began to head towards Chang’an City.

This time, it took him a year to completely devour the Fire Element Source, plus the time for the ‘transformation’ after the [Burning Sun Divine Art] had reached Small Accomplishment.

“Yes.”

Fei Yu immediately followed.

Soon, Su Qin and Fei Yu returned to the Imperial Palace.

The entire palace instantly became visible to Su Qin’s eyes, with a simple sweep of his vast Primordial Spirit.

“Not bad.”

“There are now dozens of Grade 1s, and three Legends…” Su Qin raised his eyebrows.

During the year he was in seclusion, after the wave of vitality reached the Critical Point, it rose again. With the blessing of the Heavens and Earth, those stuck in the bottleneck between the 9 Grades and the Legend Realm were able to take advantage of the situation. Now, there were three more Legends in the Imperial Palace.

“Huh?”

“Li Wan has entered the Legend Realm as well?” A trace of astonishment flashed across Su Qin’s face.

When Li Wan was kidnapped to house the Primordial Spirit of the Sword Ancestor, the Myriad Sword Sect had spent all types of means and efforts to enhance Li Wan’s Cultivation as much as possible.

The result was that by the time Su Qin brought Li Wan back, she was already a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster.

However, what Su Qin did not expect was that in just one year, Li Wan had crossed the four bottlenecks of Body Transformation, Divine Sense Transformation, Internal Strength Transformation and made the ultimate leap, entering the Legend Realm.

“Is it because of the Sword Intent?”

A thoughtful look appeared on Su Qin’s face.

In addition to countless treasures, the Sword Ancestor also poured his Sword Intent into Li Wan’s body.

This Sword Intent was from the inheritance of Myriad Sword.

“I guess so. After all, she was given something from a Half-Step Earth Immortal…” Su Qin shook his head slightly and immediately figured it out.

What kind of existence was a Half-Step Earth Immortal? The key word being ‘Immortal.’ Even if it was not as good as the real Earth Immortal Realm, their ability was unimaginable. It was because of such power, that the Myriad Sword Sect managed to grow as much to what they were now.

Such means were simply far beyond a Legend’s imagination.

Of course, helping Li Wan cross the bottleneck of the Legend Realm was the limit of the Sword Intent.

After all, this Sword Intent had existed for thousands of years. Plus the Sword Ancestor had consumed most of it, leaving barely anything for Li Wan to use. As for the remaining nine Heavenly Layers of the Legend Realm, it was up to Li Wan to step up. No shortcuts this time.

Su Qin’s eyes returned to calm. He took a step forward, and appeared on the Stargazing Tower in the palace.

The Stargazing Tower was the highest building in the Imperial Palace. It’s a place used by the Emperors to watch the stars. But Su Qin was not using it to watch the stars, but rather to look down at the view of Chang’an City.

Fei Yu also just followed Su Qin quietly, not daring to say a word.

Just when Fei Yu thought that Su Qin would continue to watch like this.

Su Qin suddenly said. He did not raise his gaze, and leisurely opened his mouth: “You have already watched long enough, why not come out?”

Su Qin’s words were unusually calm and uneventful, but in the ears of Fei Yu, it was like the ringing of a bell.

“Someone is around?” Fei Yu’s scalp numbed, as he cautiously looked around.

The next moment, under the shocked gaze of Fei Yu, a tall man wearing an ancient and simple witch’s robe slowly walked out of the darkness.

This man’s long hair was draped over his shoulders. He felt as though he had merged with the Heavens and Earth. Even though he was standing in front of Fei Yu, the latter could not feel the presence of the former at all.

“Who the heII is this person?”

Panic slowly rose in Fei Yu’s heart.

However, Fei Yu became slightly relieved when he thought that Su Qin was right next to him.

“You have good eyesight.”

The man in the witch’s robe looked at Su Qin and said with a smile, “Witch Sect, Qingmang, has come uninvited to meet fellow Daoist.”

The man named Qingmang, bowed slightly towards Su Qin.

This bow was not in fear of Su Qin, but rather in respect and recognition.

“Witch Sect?”

“Qingmang?”

“You are Ancestor Qingmang of the Witch Sect?” When Fei Yu heard this name, his mind shook with shock and astonishment.

“I didn’t expect that after 2,000 years, there are still people in the world who remember me….” Qingmang looked at Fei Yu and said in a very gentle tone.

“Ancestor Qingmang of the Witch Sect?”

Su Qin looked at the witch-robed man standing not too far away, and his thoughts slightly turned.

He would occasionally listen to the old Taoist talk about overseas matters and had some idea of the situation.

Since the end of the last prosperous era to the present, more than 10,000 years had passed in total.

In this 10,000 years, the most dazzling stars were the more than 10 Earth Immortals.

Each of them overlooked the world. Even Major Sects like the Dao Yi Men and the Thunder God Sect that had a history that dates back for 10,000 years, dare not show disrespect towards these Earth Immortals.

In addition to these ten or so Earth Immortals, Ancestor Qingmang of the Witch Sect followed close behind.

More than 2,000 years ago, Qingmang came out of nowhere and swept through the world. In just 400 years, he formed a domain and Primordial Spirit. He was the most likely to enter the Earth Immortal Realm.

Unfortunately, in the end, Qingmang failed to make the breakthrough. His Qi and blood began to fail, as his Primordial Spirit slowly disintegrated. He was like a dazzling meteor that suddenly fell from the sky.

But now, it seemed that Qingmang didn’t die, but rather survived and had been sleeping with a self-preservation secret technique.

“You came here alone. Aren’t you afraid that I will kill you?” Su Qin was not afraid of Qingmang.

Even if it was the Qingmang from 2,000 years ago, Su Qin’s Golden Crow Divine Body would still tear the former alive.

“Hahahahaha.”

“They say that the Tang Empire’s Legend wantonly kills, slaughters clans and destroys cities at every turn, acting like the Dark Source Sect. However, I know that you never strike for no reason. For example, the destruction of the Myriad Sword Sect was because they took your family member.”

Qingmang laughed.

“Oh?”

Su Qin glanced at Qingmang.

He did not expect that Qingmang would have such a thought.

However, what Qingmang said was not wrong. Su Qin indeed only killed people that first provoked him.

“If I am not wrong, you should have already touched the barrier, right?” Qingmang’s eyes flashed with a brilliant light, as he stared closely at Su Qin.

In Qingmang’s eyes, although Su Qin’s body was extremely astringent, there were still hints of a heart palpitating aura flowing out of him.

“Ho ho…”

Su Qin shook his head slightly, and did not answer. Instead, he asked: “Fellow Daoist Qingmang, you’re not here to just tell me this, are you?”

Su Qin looked at Qingmang, with a smirk on his face.

Although Qingmang was sure that Su Qin was not a crazed murderer who killed indiscriminately, this matter was still related to his own life. So why would Qingmang take the risk?

“That’s right.”

“I am indeed here for another matter.” Qingmang nodded his head slightly and admitted.

When Fei Yu heard this, his heart immediately raced. Even if he thought about it with his feet, he knew that the matter that could make Qingmang make a trip in person must be of great importance.

“Speak.” Su Qin looked down at Chang’an City and said indifferently.

“It’s very simple.”

Qingmang paused for a bit before continuing with a grave expression: “I am sending a message to you on behalf of several other people. Do you wish to choose war or peace?”
