Chapter 22 The Emperor's Search for Immortality

Seeing that Wang Lian was about to be killed by Yanzhi, she rolled and crawled, and rolled over to the back of Qin Ziyu. She actually used Qin Ziyu as a shield and stood in front of Yanzhi, shouting: "Qin Ziyu is the direct descendant of the Qin family. If you kill him, there will be no place for you in the world."

Chen Guan had no intention of killing Wang Lian right now. Seeing this, he asked Yanzhi to stop first, but he did not retreat and continued to stare at Wang Lian.

Chen Guan already knew Wang Lian's strength. She was indeed very strong, but Yanzhi was still able to suppress her steadily, so Chen Guan was not in a hurry to kill her now.

Wang Lian obviously knows the secrets of this island, and Chen Guan also wants to know those secrets.

As for Qin Ziyu, it would be best if he could be rescued, but if he cannot be rescued, there is nothing we can do about it.

"Don't come over..." Wang Lian held Qin Ziyu hostage and threatened Chen Guan while retreating towards the body of the Water Buried Buddha.

Chen Guan didn't know what Wang Lian was trying to do. He was afraid that something might happen again, so he was about to secretly order Yanzhi to take action when he suddenly heard a scream.

Qin Ziyu, who was being held hostage by Wang Lian, suddenly moved. He turned around and slapped Wang Lian on the chest, knocking Wang Lian back several steps. Blood spurted out of his mouth, and he sat down on the ground. He struggled for a few times but was unable to get up.

Chen Guan thought to himself, "The Purple and Green Qi Mysterious Art is truly powerful. It can actually open the acupuncture points on its own."

Qin Ziyu glanced at Chen Guan, nodded slightly to him, then turned to look at Wang Lian, who was lying on the ground struggling to crawl towards the body of the Water Buried Buddha, with extremely cold eyes.

"Wang Lian, are you from the Wang family of Tianqiu?" Qin Ziyu walked up to Wang Lian, put one foot on her body so that she could no longer move, and asked condescendingly.

"No, Tianqiu is not the only family with the surname Wang in the world." Wang Lian gritted his teeth and said, suppressing the pain.

"What do you know about this valley?" Qin Ziyu continued to ask.

"Do you want to know? Cooperate with me, we will kill Chen Guan and his pet, and we will split the things equally." Wang Lian said.

Qin Ziyu snorted coldly, reached out and touched Wang Lian's arm, instantly bending her arm into a strange angle. Wang Lian immediately screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

Qin Ziyu didn't waste any words and reached out to touch her other arm. It seemed as if he used a technique to break the tendons and dislocate the bones, making the other arm strangely bent.

There may be people in this world who can withstand torture, but they are only a very small minority among the very small minority. No normal person can withstand torture.

When Qin Ziyu was about to use the technique of breaking tendons and bones to dislocate Wang Lian's legs, she could no longer bear it.

Qin Ziyu did not immediately reset her bones, causing her to scream in pain for a while before he reset her bones. By this time, Wang Lian was in so much pain that she was unrecognizable.

"Speak nicely. If you say one wrong thing, I will cut off one of your limbs and will never restore it. I will make you live like an immortal forever." Qin Ziyu said lightly.

Chen Guan removed the ox-hair needles from Lu Teng and Gongsun Zhuo, restoring them to normal. The three of them then walked over. "She's just trying to get the Seven Treasures Glazed Fruit for herself. Why waste time arguing with her? If it weren't for Chen Guan and his pet, we'd all be dead at her hands. A vicious woman like this should just be killed," Lu Teng said, glaring at Wang Lian fiercely.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Fruit? You underestimate me, Wang Lian." Wang Lian's face was pale, without a trace of blood, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He showed disdain when he heard the words.

"Go on." Qin Ziyu waved his hand to stop Lu Teng and said coldly to Wang Lian.

Wang Lian knew he couldn't bear the pain of his broken bones, so he could only sigh and say, "Have you ever heard of the story of the Emperor's quest for immortality?"

"What are you talking about? Everyone in the world knows the story of the Emperor's quest for immortality. If you keep stalling like this, believe it or not, I will destroy you first?" Lu Teng shouted angrily.

Wang Lian ignored him and continued, "The Emperor Ancestor, searching for immortality, stumbled upon a blessed cave paradise and, cultivating a secret technique, achieved immortality, ushering in a new era of spiritual practice for us humans. This is a story everyone knows. But have you ever considered that before the Emperor Ancestor, there were already many cultivators who sought the secret of immortality, traversing deep mountains and vast swamps. Why didn't anyone else find the blessed cave paradise, but the Emperor Ancestor did?"

"Of course it's because the Emperor has unified the world, his power is big enough, and he has sent enough people to find the paradise that others can't find." Lu Teng said.

"If the blessed places are all in deep mountains and swamps, it is normal that others cannot reach them and find them. However, the locations of many known blessed places have been recorded in detail before the Emperor unified the world. Some of them have even been inhabited for many years. Why couldn't those people find the portal to the secret realm before the Emperor?" Wang Lian retorted.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Gongsun Zhuo asked with a frown.

Wang Lian struggled to sit up, staring at Qin Ziyu and saying, "The Qin surname is a family name changed from one of the emperor's descendants. You are clearly a direct descendant of the Qin family, yet you chose to travel far away to come here, and even chose to enter the Pingdu Mountain blessed land on the fifteenth day of the seventh month. How dare you say you know nothing?"

Everyone looked at Qin Ziyu after hearing this. Qin Ziyu said calmly, "I've indeed heard some rumors that the Emperor Ancestor first entered the secret realm and came to this blessed land of Pingdu Mountain on July 15th. What does this have to do with what you said?"

"The reason why no one could truly enter the blessed land before the Emperor Ancestor was because everything was a rumor. The Emperor Ancestor was not the first to discover the existence of the blessed land. Before the Emperor Ancestor, there were already people who had entered the blessed land and had already begun to practice secret methods and techniques. It's just that ordinary people didn't know about it."

Wang Lian sneered and continued, "Before the Emperor Ancestor, every rise of a hegemon and every change of dynasty was accompanied by the presence of cultivators. However, these were always privileges reserved for a very small number of people. Cultivators were like gods at the time, and they didn't consider ordinary people as their own kind. It wasn't until the Emperor Ancestor unified the world that the existence of the secret realms was made public, allowing everyone to cultivate."

After hearing this, several people felt that what Wang Lian said made sense. Only someone like the Emperor could do such a thing.

"Everyone can enter the secret realm and practice secret techniques. From the perspective of ordinary people, this is already excellent. But the Emperor is still the Emperor. In his opinion, this is not enough. Why do we still have to enter the secret realm to practice? Why do we have to obtain secret techniques from secret spirits in order to practice? Why can't there be a secret technique that humans can practice on their own?"

Wang Lian spoke with some excitement, a faint blush appearing on his already pale face. "The Emperor Ancestor collected secret techniques from all over the world and ordered all the highly accomplished practitioners at the time to write down their techniques for him to study. However, without the support of the Secret Technique Core, even the secret techniques were useless. This was a fact verified by countless practitioners and seemed to be the truth at the time. No one believed that the Emperor Ancestor could truly research anything with those secret techniques."

"Has the Emperor Ancestor become successful?" Lu Teng was listening intently and couldn't help but ask.

Chen Guan thought to himself, "Of course it didn't work. Until now, I have never heard of anyone being able to master the secret technique without the help of the secret technique core."
