Chapter 999 Secrets of Another World
Over the sea.

Qin Ming stopped in his tracks upon hearing Lin Shanjun's words.

Another great opportunity, another great fortune?
He couldn't help but think to himself, 'Is this going to be another huge trap?'

Just as Qin Ming was having doubts.

Within his own spiritual realm, an extremely profound feeling arose, confirming that Lin Shanjun's words about 'fortune and destiny' were indeed true.
The reason Qin Ming was able to have this feeling was because he had previously obtained a luck item called [Primordial Purple Qi].

In the blink of an eye.

Qin Ming suddenly realized!
'No wonder my luck has been so incredible lately; it's because I acquired the Luck attribute.'

'He even managed to find a rare treasure while picking up a corpse, and then encounter a cultivator from the Myriad Spirits Realm, all without any major mishaps.'

'So all of this was due to the arrival of the Great Dao's destiny.'

At this thought, Qin Ming really felt that what Lin Shanjun was saying was most likely true.

However, Qin Ming maintained a calm expression, even when he heard about the great opportunity, he remained composed and unperturbed.

He immediately turned to Lin Shanjun and asked, "Oh? What kind of opportunity and good fortune are you referring to, Fellow Daoist Lin?"

"If it's just some ordinary stuff, I don't have the patience, after all, I have other important things to do."

Seeing that Qin Ming was interested, Lin Shanjun gritted his teeth and said, "This matter is of great importance. Fellow Daoist Qin must first agree to one condition before I dare to tell you."

Upon hearing this, even Qin Ming couldn't help but frown:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, isn't this a bit off?"

"You haven't even explained what kind of opportunity or destiny it is, yet you expect me to do things for you? That's a bit much."

He had only spoken halfway when Lin Shanjun said righteously:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, please rest assured. To ensure the fairness of the transaction, I can also swear an oath of the Great Dao and sign a soul contract with you, entrusting my life to you and not doing anything that would harm you."

Upon hearing this, the Sky-Eating Rat immediately pouted and retorted:

"Can you believe what you're saying? Don't you have any idea how the old tortoise that overturned the sea died?"

"You even dared to use the Soul Splitting Technique, a dangerous secret technique with a nine-out-of-ten chance of death, and you actually killed this old guy. Who knows, even if he swears an oath after his inner demons come, it will be useless to you."

Lin Shanjun smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "Back then, I had no choice. I realized that the Old Ghost Fuhai was after me and wanted to take my life. I could only fight to the death. The situation is completely different now."

"Moreover, this Soul-Splitting Technique of our clan can only be used once in a lifetime. It concerns the cultivator's primordial spirit, and the slightest carelessness will result in immediate death."

After listening, Qin Ming immediately said, "At the very least, Fellow Daoist Lin should tell me what kind of opportunity it is so that I can make a decision."

Seeing Qin Ming take a step back, Lin Shanjun could no longer hide his intentions. He glanced into the distance and said with a touch of sadness:
"Alas, the great calamity that befell my family is related to this very opportunity and fate."

"I, Lin, have to be cautious, and I hope Fellow Daoist Qin will understand."

Qin Ming pondered for a moment. The soul contract was as good as nothing to him, since his soul was far superior to the other party's.

Therefore, he signed a divine contract with the other party and solemnly swore an oath to the Great Dao.

He wanted to see what exactly could cause the annihilation of a major clan in the Myriad Spirits Realm.

After doing all this, the two found an extremely secluded place and set up an isolation and concealment barrier.

Lin Shanjun even felt it wasn't safe enough, so he had Qin Ming set up another seventh-order array.

"Is it necessary to be so cautious? My master's restrictions are beyond the comprehension of anyone below the Mahayana stage."

Seeing Lin Shanjun's appearance, the Devouring Rat couldn't help but say something.

"My fellow Daoists, you may not know this, but if what I am about to say were to be overheard by someone at the Mahayana stage, we would be doomed. Therefore, I must be very careful," Lin Shanjun said with an extremely solemn expression.

Qin Ming nodded slightly.

Lin Shanjun took a deep breath and revealed a secret hidden deep in his heart:
"I, Lin, come from a True Spirit family in the Realm of Ten Thousand Spirits. Although my family's ranking isn't particularly high, we have a Golden-haired Hou at the peak of the Integration Realm, so our overall strength is not weak. Among the many races, apart from those ancient True Spirit clans, we are ranked in the upper-middle range."

"The reason our clan was wiped out was that our ancestor obtained a complete 'Dust of Myriad Spirits' in an ancient secret realm while traveling."

"Dust of Ten Thousand Laws?" Qin Ming and the Devouring Rat exchanged a glance; neither of them, master and servant, had ever heard of such a thing.

Seeing that the two did not recognize the item, Lin Shanjun seemed unsurprised and quickly explained:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, this Dust of Myriad Laws is unique to the Myriad Spirits Realm. It was born from the Primordial Dao at the beginning of the creation of the small world, containing immense opportunities for creation and endless wonders."

"The Dust of Myriad Laws has a wide range of applications, and I, Lin, am not entirely familiar with its mysteries."

"But I've heard our Lin family ancestor say that there was once a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Integration Stage who, under the World Tree, used the Dust of Myriad Laws to condense a complete source of power, comprehended the secrets of heaven, and directly attained the Great Ascension stage."

"Therefore, this item can be said to be the most precious thing in the entire realm of spirits. Every time a few of them appear, they will cause a bloodbath."

"What our Lin family ancestor obtained was a complete set of the Dust of Myriad Laws, but the news leaked out, leading to the combined attack and annihilation of our clan by hostile forces."

At this point, Lin Shanjun's eyes were filled with hatred.

Qin Ming looked enlightened upon hearing this, "Indeed, one should not flaunt one's wealth."

"This Dust of Myriad Laws is quite interesting."

Just then, the old demon Qingyang stroked his beard and said, "Young friend Qin, this is the Great Dao Origin Creation I told you about. It is an opportunity that evolved at the beginning of this world's birth. If you can obtain that Dust of Myriad Laws, you might be able to refine that True Immortal body ahead of time, and even accelerate your comprehension of the power of laws."

Qin Ming wholeheartedly agreed, and then asked Lin Shanjun, "Could it be that the Myriad Laws Dust that your Lin family obtained hasn't been stolen yet?"

“Of course, my ancestor knew the importance of this item and hid it in a secret place. Those people searched the entire clan territory but couldn’t find it,” Lin Shanjun said.

"Currently, only Lin knows the method to obtain it."

"I can share this great opportunity with Fellow Daoist Qin, after all, I am now practically a cripple."

Hearing this, Qin Ming knew there was more to his words than met the eye, and immediately asked bluntly, "If this is true, then it is no small matter. Fellow Daoist Lin is willing to give away such an important item so readily?"

"If you have any conditions, please state them directly."

As expected, Lin Shanjun hesitated for a moment before saying to Qin Ming, "Well... Fellow Daoist Qin, if you have the opportunity to advance to the Mahayana stage after obtaining the Dust of Myriad Laws, I would like to humbly ask you to help our Lin family avenge ourselves. Kill as many as you can; we don't ask for anything else."

He could tell that Qin Ming's cultivation level and methods were far beyond those of ordinary cultivators, and he even possessed a spirit pet at the Integration stage.

Looking at the young man burdened with a blood feud, Qin Ming could roughly guess his thoughts.

However, he did not agree immediately, after all, the Realm of Myriad Spirits was full of hidden talents.

Qin Ming's main focus is on a steady path of cultivation and farming, building good relationships with others, avoiding unnecessary fighting and killing, and not interfering in other people's karma.
The person capable of wiping out the Lin family must be no ordinary individual.

After pondering for a long time, he came up with a compromise and said to Lin Shanjun:

"To be honest, I am merely a cultivator of spiritual plants and am not skilled in killing. However, I possess a method that can heal Fellow Daoist Lin's injuries. I can use this as an exchange. Is that acceptable?" The Devouring Rat, who was drinking tea nearby, almost spat out his water when he heard Qin Ming say this.
It couldn't help but glance at Qin Ming, muttering to itself, "Not good at killing, but somewhat skilled in martial arts, huh? Who knows how many corpses are buried in this spirit field. The infamous Power Demon Star, one of the Twelve Demon Stars, is now buried under a mountain of weeds."

Lin Shanjun was extremely surprised and excited when he heard Qin Ming's words.

The injuries he has suffered have reached the very core of his being, causing his cultivation level to plummet and leaving him with no possibility of recovery.

When he heard that Qin Ming actually had a way to restore him to his original state, how could he contain his excitement?
A glimmer of hope appeared on Lin Shanjun's pale face, and he immediately asked, "Is what Fellow Daoist Qin said true?"

"That's natural. Since I entered the world of cultivation, I've always built my reputation on word of mouth and I always keep my word," Qin Ming said calmly. "However, I will only treat you after I see the Dust of Myriad Laws."

"Before that, we can stabilize your injuries."

Lin Shanjun had been driven to desperation, but now he saw the light again. Hearing that he still had hope of resuming his path of cultivation, he readily agreed.

After all, revenge has to be taken personally.

"make a deal."

"In addition, I was born and raised in the Myriad Spirits Realm and am somewhat familiar with the situation here, so I can guide Fellow Daoist Qin."

After some discussion, the two reached a cooperation agreement.

Qin Ming never expected that the person the Devouring Rat had picked up at random would be hiding such a big secret.

If the Overturning Sea God hadn't been able to resist and directly searched his soul, this kind of opportunity and good fortune probably wouldn't have fallen into his lap.

Qin Ming couldn't help but secretly marvel: 'This [Primordial Purple Qi] entry is truly amazing! My luck lately has been getting stronger and stronger.'

Then.

Qin Ming took out a Myriad Trees Rejuvenation Talisman that he had obtained from the Golden Beetle and used it to stabilize Lin Shanjun's injuries.

The moment the Golden Beetle's unique talisman was unleashed, a shower of sweet rain fell upon him, and Lin Shanjun, who had been completely exhausted, recovered at a visible speed, like a withered tree coming back to life.

"This...this is..." Lin Shanjun felt the changes within his body and showed an expression of disbelief.

Next.

Qin Ming gave him some time to recover, and he rested on the nameless island for several days.

Just half a month later, Lin Shanjun was able to get out of bed. His injuries were temporarily suppressed, and he could move around freely.

Lin Shanjun was extremely grateful to Qin Ming. This was a great favor, and Qin Ming was the first person he was willing to trust since he had suffered misfortune.

He also passed on the entire method of refining the Glazed Treasure Light Divine Palace to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming took advantage of this time to complete the refinement of this flying treasure.

This day.

As the two were preparing to leave the island and step outside, they saw the entire Rootless Sea surging with towering waves.

Dark clouds covered the sky, creating a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth in the void began to become chaotic, and the spiritual energy went berserk. Countless cultivators who were hunting demons in the sea, upon seeing this strange phenomenon, all showed expressions of fear and sought places to hide and escape.

A strong wind arose on the dark sea, and suddenly a black tornado, resembling a dragon, appeared, sweeping and raging.

Everything caught up in it will be ruthlessly torn apart.

Spirit birds and flying boats that occasionally flew through the sky were affected by these changes and fell into the deep sea.

"Run!! The eye of the storm is coming!"

"Damn it, there's nowhere to hide."

"Help me!!"

In an instant, screams of agony rose and fell, as if it were a living hell.

Qin Ming and Lin Shanjun stood in mid-air, releasing their divine senses in all directions.

He could sense that along with the changes in heaven and earth, an extremely strong tide of spiritual energy was about to converge.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, the Spirit Tide Eye has appeared, and the entrance to the Myriad Spirits Realm is about to open," Lin Shanjun said to Qin Ming.

Their cultivation level is profound, and the current wind disaster has not affected them.

Qin Ming nodded and continued to observe the changes in the sea.

Countless black tornadoes and gales converged towards a certain point in the Rootless Sea, eventually forming a hurricane with a diameter exceeding one hundred miles.
Even cultivators at the Integration Stage would need to give way to this level of wind disaster.

Once you get involved, the only outcome is complete annihilation.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I have the Myriad Spirits Token, which will allow us to safely enter through the eye of the storm." After saying this, Lin Shanjun reached out and took out an ancient token made of animal bone.

Even in death, the God of the Sea could never have imagined that the opportunity he longed for had always been hidden within Lord Lin Shan.

Qin Ming, however, remained calm and nonchalant, taking out two tokens and saying indifferently:
"No need. Fellow Daoist Lin can keep that one for himself. I have one too."

One of the two tokens is the Myriad Spirits Token, and the other is a one-time large-scale spatial teleportation token.

Lin Shanjun was also extremely surprised when he saw this.

It should be noted that only the major clans within a small world can control the Myriad Spirits Token.

Qin Ming pulled out two tokens at once, which truly refreshed his understanding.

The other person seems increasingly mysterious and unfathomable.

Seeing that the time was right, the two transformed into two streaks of light and rushed towards the eye of the storm at the very center of Wugen.

However, when they were halfway there...

Qin Ming's previously indifferent expression suddenly changed!
Seeing Qin Ming's reaction, the Devouring Rat couldn't help but ask, "Master, what's wrong?"

Qin Ming's expression turned strange, and he secretly transmitted his thoughts to it:

"Strange, I seem to sense the aura of the Xuan Shui Crocodile. It seems to be engaged in a fierce battle with someone, not far from the eye of the storm."

His divine sense power was comparable to that of a peak-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, so even before he got close, he had already vaguely sensed the abnormal fluctuations tens of thousands of miles away.

Upon hearing this, the Sky-Devouring Rat exclaimed in surprise, "What?! Second Brother is back?!"
