My mother is the empress

Chapter 88 Dao Destruction
"Give me this little world?" Qin Baiqing opened her mouth and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

What an empty world.

It feels like inheriting an empty house and having to decorate it myself.

She raised her head and tried to take in the scene in the small world, but it seemed to have no end and there was nothing real in her sight.

Apart from the palace and three stone statues in front of him, the surroundings were almost empty. Only the untouchable shadows of mountains and waters could be seen in the distance, but the specific objects could not be seen clearly. Only the virtual shadows of the mountains could be distinguished.

"But, but..." Qin Baiqing hesitated for a while, and hadn't decided whether to accept it or not. The young man who called himself Shangqing spoke slowly and leisurely, "The Sanqing Palace in front of you is the core of this small world."

"Before the Dao Extinction Period, the most powerful sect in the world was Sanqing Mountain. Unfortunately, the spiritual energy was exhausted, the Dao was cut off, and the Dao Extinction Period came... The glory of human cultivation is no longer there."

"I know about the period of Dao's extinction," Qin Baiqing's voice also dropped.

Rumor has it that the previous human cultivation inheritance was almost completely cut off during that period, and from then on human cultivation gradually declined, and could never reach its previous peak again.

If human cultivators before the period of the extinction of the Tao were the favored ones of Heaven, then the sudden severance of the Tao would mean that human cultivators became abandoned children.

"Well, there's no need to be sad about it." The young man comforted Qin Baiqing after hearing the voice.

He continued, "The reason why the Three Pure Ones inheritance is hidden in the Immortal King Mountain Range is because the Immortal King obtained the Three Pure Ones inheritance by chance when he was alive, but unfortunately he died early and did not have the opportunity to carry forward our Sanqing Mountain."

"They say that the Immortal King was omnipotent during his lifetime, so his body was immortal. After his death, he turned into mountains and existed in the world. No one can destroy the remaining power of the Immortal King." Qin Baiqing recalled in her mind the admiration that people showed when they mentioned the Immortal King.

But even an Immortal King like this had things he failed to accomplish before his death?

"You mean the Immortal King Mountain Range..."

Shangqing sighed and said helplessly: "He carries the inheritance of Sanqing Mountain. How can we let his body perish like this? The corpse of the Immortal King turned into a mountain range just to continue looking for the inheritor and preserve the inheritance of Sanqing for many years."

"So that's how it is." Qin Baiqing nodded seriously.

She said that the Immortal King was not the most powerful person in the world, and that her mother alone was much more powerful than the Immortal King!
"Well, now the conditions for opening the inheritance have finally been met. Congratulations."

"How was the inheritance opened?" Qin Baiqing still didn't understand and asked.

"Oh?" Shang Qing didn't expect that she didn't understand yet, and laughed: "Wind, ice, and thunder each correspond to an area. When the three inheritances are triggered, the inheritance land will naturally be opened."

"No," Qin Baiqing thought for a moment and retorted, "Feng and Bing are both in the foundation building area, and Jindan doesn't have them."

Li Ziwen obtained the inheritance of the Way of Thunder in the Nascent Soul area, and she saw it with her own eyes.

"That's a pity." Shang Qing looked even more disappointed, as if lost in memories. After a long silence, he said with great regret:

"In the beginning, someone was recognized by Bing Po Xin, but unfortunately... his cultivation level fell back and he even fell all the way to the foundation building stage. That's why he brought Bing Po Xin to the foundation building area by mistake. Bing Po Xin has been wandering around the foundation building area for a long time. Now, someone has finally recognized it again."

"There is someone who is even more unlucky than Hua Muyao," Qin Baiqing couldn't help but sigh, "That person must be very sad." She had never seen such an unlucky person. He got Bing Poxin's recognition but still lost it. In the end, he made himself successful. That person definitely didn't expect that it was thanks to him that she had brought Bing Poxin to the foundation building area that she had the opportunity to get it from Feng Chun...

Everything is too coincidental, and it would not work if there was any mistake.

"I'm so lucky!" Finally, Qin Baiqing clenched her fist to encourage herself, "I can definitely accept the inheritance because I'm the luckiest!"

"Young man, you are not afraid of biting your tongue when you brag," the middle-aged man who had been silent from beginning to end finally spoke up and sneered at Qin Baiqing, "The inheritance is not something you can take over just because you want to."

"Yuanshi, you are too mean." The young man was dissatisfied and took the initiative to comfort Qin Baiqing, "Don't listen to his nonsense. You have surpassed many people by getting to this point. Next, you just need to take your time and you will get all the inheritance soon."

"You haven't given me the real inheritance yet," Qin Baiqing suddenly remembered, frowned and asked a few people, "How can I open the inheritance?"

She originally thought that the mark between her eyebrows could be used to open the inheritance, but later discovered that it was far from that simple.

After hearing this, the two stopped arguing. The old man who spoke first was still smiling, and explained to Qin Baiqing: "If you want to accept all the inheritances, it is also possible. The method is very simple. You just need to find the twenty-one spiritual veins left outside the Sanqing Mountain."

As he spoke, he pointed to the shadow of the mountains behind him and said in a relaxed tone: "After the extinction of the Dao, all 21 spiritual veins of Sanqing Mountain were lost in the universe. When the Immortal King received the inheritance, he tried to find the mountains, but unfortunately he was unable to find a single one until his death."

"But you don't have to worry,"

The old man looked at Qin Baiqing with a smile, with blind confidence in his expression. He ignored Qin Baiqing's increasingly frightened expression and comforted her: "We believe you can find them all."

The shadows of the mountains were dim, separated by fog. Countless peaks stood tall and connected, stretching across the entire small world. In its heyday, there were as many as 21 spiritual veins...

But Qin Baiqing suddenly took two steps back with distrust, thought for a moment, and began to deduce without saying a word.

She used the deduction method she had learned from Xiao Xingyun to try to calculate the age of the Immortal King before his death. After deriving a long river of time that had no end in sight, she suddenly stopped her hands and solemnly rejected the old man.

"Forget it!" She paused, no longer mentioning her good fortune, and simply gave up the inheritance. "It's too troublesome and takes too long. You...you should find someone else. I don't want it anymore."

The Immortal King has lived for so long but still hasn’t found it.

She didn't want to waste all her time on such an illusory inheritance!

Qin Baiqing refused to do it. The middle-aged man blew his beard and glared at her, angrily scolding: "How did you learn such a bad habit at such a young age? Why do you give up when you encounter difficulties? Without perseverance, I don't think you can achieve great things!"

"Don't scare the little kid," the young man stepped forward, pushed away the fierce middle-aged man, and smiled gently to keep Qin Baiqing. "Although the process may be a little difficult, after finding all twenty-one spiritual veins, the power of inheritance you get is far beyond your imagination—"

"No!" Qin Baiqing interrupted his coaxing and turned her head away, "What if I die too?"

Will the corpse also turn into a mountain range for people to visit like the Immortal King did?
She was determined, and the two men's threats and inducements were all useless. Seeing this, the old man smiled helplessly, sighed and asked with understanding: "What benefits do you want in order to accept the inheritance?"

"Hmm..." Qin Baiqing blinked cunningly and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I can accept the inheritance, but I have to change it to the name of my own sect."
