Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality!
chapter-305

“That’s impossible!” Qin Tian was the first to object, but everyone present ignored him.

The Spirit Transformation stage cultivator behind him felt a murderous intent, wanting to kill Lu Yang and his companions on the spot, as the threat they posed was too great.

However, after a brief consideration, he abandoned this idea. The other party clearly showed no fear of him. As ancient geniuses, they surely had several life-saving trump cards.

Failing to kill them now would mean that if the Nine Nether Sect and Heaven’s Court Sect formed an alliance in the future, he would be the one in trouble.

Lu Yang waved his hand, completely disregarding Master Mi: “Don’t believe it? Your Nine Nether Sect has lost too much of its heritage. It’s normal not to believe.”

“Fine, I’ll find what Sect Leader Qin hid.”

Master Mi didn’t find Lu Yang arrogant. After all, he was an ancient peerless genius who had forced Ying Tian Immortal to intervene and block the path to immortality. How could such a person care about an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator?

Not only Lu Yang but Meng Jingzhou, Li Haoran, and Qin Yanyan behind him all had the same attitude.

Among them, Qin Yanyan’s acting was the worst, having practiced the entire night.

Li Haoran, whether due to natural disposition or the influence of memory fragments, displayed the attitude perfectly on the first try, earning applause from Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

Lu Yang turned and walked into the abandoned temple, surprising Master Mi.

“Come in and see for yourselves. Your Nine Nether Sect has been oppressed by the righteous path for too long, hiding everywhere. It’s understandable that you find it hard to trust others.”

Lu Yang walked straight into the main hall, followed closely by Meng Jingzhou, the three female ghosts, Master Mi, and Qin Tian.

The main hall was as dilapidated as ever, with half a Buddha statue, old doors and windows, a cracked roof beam, a dim incense table, and dusty walls that covered many patterns and writings, making the residents of Ancient Locust Town forget the temple’s original purpose.

Lu Yang stared blankly at the scene, seemingly recalling memories of ancient times, as if Heaven’s Court, like this forgotten temple, had also been forgotten.

“Who could forget the might of Heaven’s Court back then?” he muttered, loud enough for Master Mi and the Spirit Transformation stage cultivator to hear.

Lu Yang raised his arm, gathering sword light into a golden beam. This golden sword light, once famous in ancient times, was now unknown.

The golden sword light fell, splitting the half Buddha statue in two, revealing a wooden box wrapped in old sealing talismans.

“The relic of Sect Leader Qin!” Master Mi exclaimed, his eyes widening in shock.

He never imagined that the treasure he had been searching for was right under his nose the whole time!

“What do you think?” Lu Yang weighed the wooden box, surprisingly light, uncertain of its contents.

Li Haoran seized the moment to sigh, “Who would have thought that four hundred years ago, hiding something in a locust tree would lead to the tree being cut down to carve a Buddha statue for building a temple in Ancient Locust Town. Fate truly plays tricks.”

This wasn’t a memory from Li Haoran but a conclusion Lu Yang deduced the previous night.

The reasoning was simple: if the Nine Nether Sect knew that Sect Leader Qin’s relic was here, they would have turned the place over multiple times, like plowing the land and digging through the soil.

Lu Yang even suspected that the great fire in Ancient Locust Town was set by the Nine Nether Sect to burn down the locust trees and find the wooden box.

After all, the box wouldn’t burn.

Even so, the Nine Nether Sect still couldn’t find the box.

This could only mean that Qin Haoran’s box was hidden in the Nine Nether Sect’s blind spot.

For instance, in a locust tree that had long been carved into a Buddha statue.

Why had Little Seven and the others stayed in this temple all this time? Was it really just because there was no one around?

What a joke. This place was on the outskirts of Ancient Locust Town, with only a few locust trees around. It made more sense for them to live in the town itself rather than here.

The real reason they stayed was because the half-Buddha statue in the main hall was made of ancient locust wood, which could nurture souls.

Lu Yang exerted force but couldn’t open the wooden box. Just as he suspected, the box was sealed by Qin Haoran, and no one but Qin Haoran himself could open it.

Trying to force it open might damage the contents inside.

“Kid, catch! Didn’t you say you’re the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin? Try opening it!” Lu Yang tossed the box to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian was startled, fumbling with the box as if it were a hot potato, nearly dropping it.

He knew perfectly well whether he was the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin or not.

But what if he was? What if he really was?

He gritted his teeth, sweat beading on his forehead, and used all his strength to try and open the box.

The box didn’t budge.

The Spirit Transformation stage cultivator looked at Qin Tian with disappointment. Fool! Who said it had to be opened here? Why not take it back and open it later?

Master Mi took the box, examining it carefully. He had some knowledge of seals and recognized that this one was set by Sect Leader Qin, requiring vast spiritual energy. Only Sect Leader Qin himself, or his reincarnation, could open it.

“Li Hao, you open it,” Lu Yang said with a light laugh, indicating that Li Haoran, the legitimate previous Sect Leader, should open the box.

As a former Sect Leader who understood the mysteries of reincarnation and was on par with ancient geniuses, Li Haoran naturally couldn’t lower himself by taking the box directly. This would undermine his status.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, being Golden Core stage cultivators, were also unsuitable for the task. Therefore, the duty of maintaining Li Haoran’s dignity fell to Qin Yanyan.

Qin Yanyan stepped forward, took the box from Master Mi, and was about to hand it to Li Haoran.

As soon as the box touched Qin Yanyan’s fingers, the blood seal recognized its owner and instantly disappeared.

Qin Yanyan blinked, confused, not understanding what had happened.

Lu Yang was also puzzled but fortunately had Everlasting Fairy within him.

After Everlasting Fairy’s explanation, Lu Yang understood.

This was a blood seal left by Qin Haoran, only to be opened by someone with the same blood.

Four hundred years ago, this would have been Qin Haoran himself.

But now, there was another person who met this condition—his daughter.

Master Mi’s eyes widened. With his vast knowledge and experience, he quickly grasped what had happened, looking enlightened as if he had just discovered the truth.

The surname Qin.

Able to break Sect Leader Qin’s seal.

The age corresponded with the time of Sect Leader Qin’s fall.

Incredible talent, reaching the late Foundation Building stage at a young age, and defeating Qin Tian, who was also at the late Foundation Building stage!

It all made sense. Everything made sense!

Excitedly, he pointed at Qin Yanyan: “You, you are the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin!”

If she wasn’t the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin, who was?

Though she was a girl, who said reincarnation had to maintain gender?

Reincarnation was mysterious and full of unknowns. Anything was possible.

Didn’t Lu Yang also say that their Heavenly Court Sect had found the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin?

Lu Yang had specifically asked Qin Yanyan to take the box, clearly intending for them to witness her breaking the seal and confirming they had indeed found the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin!

Qin Yanyan: “…”

Have I become my father’s reincarnation?
