Chapter 210: Secret Message Sent to Wanxiang Mountain
Chapter 210: Secret Message Sent to Wanxiang Mountain
Great Jin Dynasty, Xuan Province.
Peace City.
National Guardian Saint Mansion.
"Sir, this is the Storage Bag of the Ask Immortal Sect's Martial Saint."
Mu Jinyan held a delicate Storage Bag and respectfully handed it over to Qin Zheng.
"Good."
Qin Zheng reached out, effortlessly erasing the spiritual imprint on the bag and extending a wisp of his Primordial Spirit to probe its contents.
Immediately, Mu Jinyan led several servants to carry the Immortal Robe Man's corpse out of the hall, while cleaning up the bloodstains all over the floor.
Only when they were alone did Qin Zheng turn his gaze towards Wei Yunfeng.
"A background even more terrifying than the Ask Immortal Sect?"
His eyes narrowed slightly as he asked.
"Hmm!"
Wei Yunfeng nodded, then continued with a solemn expression, "When White Bone Immortal Lord received his inheritance, he was merely an Intermediate Demon."
"Under the watchful eyes of numerous Upper Rank Grand Demons, how could an ordinary Demon Clan member protect their inheritance and survive until now?"
"The root cause of it all is that it belongs to the Heavenly Peng Demon Clan above the Endless Demon Land."
"According to Great Jin's current speculations, within this Heavenly Peng Clan, there are at least five or more Upper Rank Grand Demons!"
As he spoke, Wei Yunfeng turned to Qin Zheng, his expression turning serious, "Among them, the strongest are none other than White Bone Immortal Lord's parents!"
In just this one battle, Qin Zheng had offended not only the Ask Immortal Sect, which had a High Rank Martial Saint, but also the Heavenly Peng Demon Clan, which had at least five Upper Rank Grand Sages!
This was the very reason Wei Yunfeng was most worried about!
Even with Qin Zheng's formidable strength, how could he easily emerge unscathed when facing two such powerful forces?
Wei Yunfeng had high hopes for Qin Zheng's talent and potential, believing that he might soon possess the strength to overpower either side.
However, he feared that these two forces wouldn't give Qin Zheng much time!
Hearing this, Qin Zheng nodded slightly.
His expression remained calm, concealing his true thoughts.
"Why don't you return to the capital first?"
"There, even the Ask Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Peng Clan wouldn't dare to cause trouble so easily."
After a moment of silence, Wei Yunfeng slowly spoke.
Qin Zheng thought for a moment and nodded, "Please rest assured, Senior. I will go to the capital, but not right now."
"For now, let's first quickly arrange for the thirty thousand Humans brought back from Bone City."
Hearing Qin Zheng's words, Wei Yunfeng could only sigh softly, then nodded in response, "Good!"
Three days later.
Xuan Province.
National Guardian Saint Mansion.
In a dim cultivation chamber.
Qin Zheng sat cross-legged, calmly gazing at several items placed before him.
An ancient book, a leather pouch, two Demon Essences, and a letter.
Ascetic Scholar's World Denial Book, Postnatal Species Bag, Jade Green Demon Lion, White Bone Immortal Lord's Spirit Orb, and a letter discovered in the Ask Immortal Sect Martial Saint's Storage Bag.
These were the most valuable items Qin Zheng had obtained after coming to Xuan Province, aside from virtue, through his demon-slaying and monster-exterminating.
His eyes glimmered slightly, and he reached out to take the letter in his hand.
The information revealed in this letter was even more revealing than what Wei Yunfeng had told him!
Qin Zheng opened the letter, his expression turning slightly solemn as he read it carefully again.
'Dear Brother Floating Cloud, a thousand years have passed since our parting at Wanxiang Mountain.
A thousand years is like a fleeting moment for us, but for mortals, it's a lifetime.
During this time, the Great Jin Martial Saints have risen and fallen, maintaining the number nine-nine. Perhaps it's fate.
Wang Dao Yi's corpse still lies in the Great Jin capital, without any movement. Perhaps he's truly dead this time.
Gao Qiu Xian has survived until now, finding half a volume of the Bodhimanda True Scripture in the Ling'an Sect ruins, but he hasn't broken through. It's likely due to the decay of his foundation, unable to achieve Bodhimanda.
Achieving Bodhimanda is difficult, and so is becoming an Immortal! Qing Ning sat in meditation for a thousand years, yet he couldn't grasp the threshold of Bodhimanda, failing to seize that fleeting opportunity.
However, during these thousand years, Qing Ning searched through various texts and discovered something.
To achieve Bodhimanda, one must not only open the Energy Points and comprehend the true intent of the cultivation method but also possess sufficient Primordial Spirit Essence! This Primordial Spirit Essence is extremely precious and rare in the world.
Fortunately, the texts indicate that within all beings of the world, there exists an extremely faint trace of Primordial Spirit Essence.
And that is Spirit Essence!
After Qingning's verification, it was discovered that the human soul contained the most Spirit Essence.
Just as the Great Jin Dynasty was no longer able to support the Thirty-Six States, they planned to abandon twelve of them.
This move was in line with Qingning's intentions, as the human race in the twelve states could refine enough Spirit Essence to create twelve strands.
With these twelve strands as fuel, Qingning should be able to glimpse the mysteries of the Bodhimanda.
After a thousand years of separation, Qingning missed him dearly and hoped that the Daoist brother was well.
Additionally, as a precaution, this letter was sent in two copies, one delivered by a thousand-feathered crane to Wanxiang Mountain and the other by Qingning's representative.
Qin Zheng's face darkened as he withdrew his gaze.
This letter revealed a lot of information.
Firstly, Wanxiang Mountain, which was likely another human force in the Endless Demon Land, outside of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Secondly, the Ask Immortal Sect had been monitoring the Great Jin Dynasty for a thousand years, keeping an eye on the number of Martial Saints.
Moreover, Wang Dao Yi and Gao Qiu Xian.
By now, without needing to inquire further, Qin Zheng had realized the truth.
These two individuals, the former was likely the Great Jin Ancestor, and the latter, the Gao Clan's ancestor.
The Great Jin Ancestor had passed away a thousand years ago, but based on the letter's content, Wanxiang Mountain seemed to doubt this and ordered the Ask Immortal Sect to keep watch.
As for Gao Qiu Xian, the Gao Clan's ancestor, he was still alive and on the verge of achieving the Bodhimanda.
No wonder the Quanyang Gao Clan acted so recklessly in the Great Jin Dynasty, even the royal family turned a blind eye to their actions.
Because they had an ancestor on the verge of achieving the Bodhimanda.
At the same time, the nine scrolls of the Grand Martial Academy were indeed not the Great Jin Dynasty's complete cultivation techniques.
The Gao Clan had found half a scroll of Bodhimanda-level techniques in the so-called Ling'an Sect ruins.
It was likely that the Great Jin royal family was in a similar situation.
Thus, the nine scrolls were merely cultivation techniques to train Martial Saints as their enforcers.
Without the subsequent incomplete techniques, they couldn't produce powerful Martial Saints capable of intimidating the royal family and the Gao Clan.
No wonder.
No wonder the Great Jin Dynasty had eighteen Martial Saints, with these two families occupying fourteen of those positions.
Qin Zheng's mind raced with various thoughts.
He also pondered the final piece of information in the Ask Immortal Sect's letter.
Achieving the Bodhimanda required sufficient Spirit Essence.
The Ask Immortal Sect wanted to refine twelve strands of Spirit Essence from the people of the twelve states.
The Ask Immortal Sect, despite being of the human race, held themselves so highly and showed no emotion.
Did they really consider themselves heavenly immortals?
In this moment, rage surged within him.
The Ask Immortal Sect.
Very well.
In the depths of the quiet room,
Qin Zheng's eyes flashed with cold determination.
After a moment, he temporarily calmed his surging emotions.
Qin Zheng put away the letter and then reached for the Heavenly Peng Demon Orb.
Achieving the Bodhimanda required Spirit Essence, just as achieving the Martial Saint realm required Spirit Energy.
Even after a thousand years, the Ask Immortal Sect hadn't found a single strand of Spirit Essence.
This Demon Orb, capable of refining Spirit Essence, became incredibly important.
Three thousand pounds of Demon Essence were needed to refine Spirit Essence, and at this moment, he couldn't afford to refine it.
Qin Zheng then put away the Demon Orb and the Postnatal Species Bag, his gaze falling directly on the ancient book.
With various matters concluded, it was time to return to the Great Jin Dynasty and discover the contents of this book.
Qin Zheng reached for the book, ready to turn the pages.
Suddenly,
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked outside the quiet room.
Mu Jinyan's figure appeared outside, and he quickly spoke, "A letter from the capital city! It asks for Qin Zheng's swift return."
