The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 45: The Holy Land is Silenced, and the Eastern Wasteland is Shocked
Where the Holy Son Yaoguang stood, nothing existed anymore.

The void turned into a black hole, and chaos surged, as if the world was created, shattered and filled again, over and over again.

The cave was extremely silent. All forces were shocked. No one dared to speak. They just watched from afar, as if they were in a trance.

Ning Qingyi stood in the center of the battlefield. Even the Chaos could not harass his body. He looked at where the Holy Son of Yaoguang was and snorted coldly, "Hmph! He was rescued? What a pity, I didn't get to have a good fight with him..."

His words were like a stone breaking the surface of a lake, creating ripples.

"Oh my God, this person is so terrifying. Who among the younger generation of Eastern Wilderness can be his rival!" The disciples of Yuding Dongtian exclaimed in amazement.

"The Holy Son Yaoguang was rescued. Was it the protector who took action? Could it be that he really practiced the scriptures of the Great Emperor?" Some important figures were also whispering, as if they were curious about the answer to this question.

The Ji family's prominent figure even asked directly, "Brother Daoist, could it be that Yaoguang has obtained the inheritance of the Great Emperor?"

He looked at the Supreme Elder of Yaoguang Holy Land with burning eyes.

Yaoguang Grand Elder was still feeling relieved that Yaoguang was still alive. Upon hearing this question, he quickly said, "Brother, please don't misunderstand. Yaoguang Holy Land has never obtained the complete Great Emperor inheritance."

"I don't think so!" Ning Qingyi suddenly spoke, his aura was very formidable, and it was obvious that he was unhappy that the Holy Son Yaoguang was rescued.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The origin of our family's inheritance is extremely clear, how could we possess the scriptures of the Great Emperor?" The Supreme Elder of Yaoguang Holy Land said angrily.

The big man from the Purple Mansion Holy Land said with a smile, "Brother Dao, don't be angry. This young man may have other intentions."

"His intention? I don't have any other intention!" Ning Qingyi said coldly, "How did you get the Yaoguang Dragon Patterned Black Gold Tripod? Others don't know, are you trying to fool me?"

The bigwigs looked solemn, while the young disciples were curious, especially Ye Fan and others. When they saw Ning Qingyi defeat the Holy Son of Yaoguang, they relaxed and listened as if they were listening to gossip.

It’s because Yaoguang’s dragon-patterned black gold tripod is truly the greatest miracle in the world!

Fifty thousand years of prayers, fifty thousand years of prostrations, and painstaking efforts by the saints of Yaoguang Holy Land finally transformed into an ultimate imperial weapon on a night of thunder, lightning, wind and rain!
"Our sect has been passed down for millions of years, and we know the secrets of the Imperial Weapons in great detail." Ning Qing looked at Grand Elder Yaoguang, his expression growing serious. "An Imperial Weapon is a continuation of the Dao Fruits of the Heavenly Venerable, the Ancient Emperor, and the Great Emperor. It carries their Dao, and therefore every Imperial Weapon has its own laws!"

Everyone had some understanding, especially the Ji family and Yao Chi, as the bloodline of the Great Emperor and the Taoist tradition inherited by the Great Emperor, they knew more than others.

"Only a highly accomplished Holy Spirit can be born with an Imperial Weapon embryo. Even then, only when the Holy Spirit attains enlightenment and becomes an Emperor can the accompanying weapon transform into an Imperial Weapon. Therefore..."

In the utter silence of the Jade Tripod Cave, Ning Qingyi said, "Only through the personal intervention of a great emperor can the Dragon Patterned Black Gold Tripod be transformed into an imperial weapon! The imperial weapon has been given to you, Yaoguang, so it's not impossible for the imperial scripture to be passed down."

"Nonsense!"

Yaoguang's Grand Elder's expression darkened, but when he saw the glint in the others' eyes, he knew they all believed it. In fact, it wasn't just them; even he himself believed it.

"My sect's imperial weapon is the product of the painstaking efforts of many predecessors. Although you are of an extraordinary background, you should not speak nonsense."

Ning Qingyi snorted coldly and said, "You're just a frog in a well! I'm a disciple of a Quasi-Emperor, so I have extensive knowledge and can even claim to know a million years in the future. You, Yaoguang, haven't even produced a Quasi-Emperor yet? Today, I've given you guidance, but instead of saying thank you, you actually dare to act like a senior figure in front of me?"

Everyone's faces changed drastically when they heard this. Someone exclaimed in horror, "Quasi-Emperor!"

Quasi-emperor!
In today's Beidou, let alone a quasi-emperor, even a saint can run rampant. But what did they hear? This young genius is actually the descendant of a quasi-emperor!
“Once the four extremes are perfected, one can enter the eight forbidden areas. If one is carefully trained by a quasi-emperor, it is not impossible.” The big man of the Ji family suddenly realized.

"No wonder they were able to cultivate such a genius." The old man from Daoyi Holy Land also changed his expression and hid the hostility in his eyes.

The Supreme Elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land also fell silent. If a direct disciple of a quasi-emperor got angry, even the dragon-patterned black gold tripod would not be able to protect the Yaoguang Holy Land.

"No need to be so fearful." Ning Qing glanced around and sneered, "My master has long said that geniuses are most likely to die young. They will die fighting with their peers. Besides, there are quasi-emperors in Beidou, and their direct disciples should be born soon."

Everyone fell even more silent, feeling that this young man before them was truly lawless and unbridled, constantly spouting earth-shattering news. But they were also thankful that a young, naive man was better than an old, treacherous one; otherwise, if they had truly provoked him, they might have been in grave danger.

Ning Qingyi continued, "Alright, since Saint Yaoguang has escaped, let's get back to the point. I've taken all the Nine Wonderful Immortal Fruits. Are you dissatisfied?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ancient lapis lazuli pagoda above his head once again released a terrifying pressure, which matched his demeanor and was extremely arrogant.

The holy places and noble families were all speechless. Finally, the Grand Elder of the Ji Family sighed and said, "Heavenly materials and earthly treasures belong to those with virtue. I just hope that you will have the virtue of loving life and share one with me."

Upon hearing this, people from the holy lands, such as Yaoguang, Daoyi, and Zifu, all responded with a word of agreement, then looked at him with envy. Since the hard approach didn't work, the only option was to use the soft approach.

"You still want to share it." Ning Qingyi sneered: "Not to mention that all the holy fruits were used to build my foundation. Even if there were any, you kidnapped my classmates and refused to apologize. You still want to share the holy fruits?"

The sacred power of the ancient sapphire pagoda locked onto holy places such as Yaoguang, Zifu and Daoyi.

"I'll give the Ji family some face, and let's just let it go this time." Ning Qing looked at the remaining bigwigs whose faces had turned ugly and said, "You? If you don't satisfy me today, I might go to your holy land and cause a big commotion tomorrow!"

Ye Fan was stunned and couldn't help but use his mind to transmit his thoughts: "Is this okay? Is it too much?"

Ning Qingyi did not answer, but scanned the ground below with a sharp gaze. The ancient lapis lazuli pagoda above his head kept emitting divine light, as if it was ready to destroy all the holy places if they disagreed with him.

The great man of Daoyi sighed and said, "Never mind. I am sorry for my impoliteness. I will present you with ten thousand pounds of Yuan."

The people from the Purple Mansion Holy Land also followed suit: "Use this piece of mutton-fat jade iron as an apology."

Ning Qingyi looked towards Yaoguang Holy Land. His eyes were no longer fierce, but threatening. "What about you?"

The Supreme Elder of Yaoguang Holy Land had no choice but to throw out Fangyuan in frustration, and then retreated with everyone from Yaoguang Holy Land. His face was full of anger and annoyance, and he was obviously very unwilling.

Ning Qingyi accepted all the apologies and said, "That's it. I'll take these people with me, forever. Don't mess with me again when you see me again!"

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, a young man from the Ji family stood up, and everyone looked at him sideways.
"What's the matter with the Ji family's Divine King Body?" Ning Qing asked.

"I'm Ji Haoyue, and I'll definitely fight you someday!" Ji Haoyue, dressed in a brilliant purple robe, looked at Ning Qingyi with a look of fighting intent. "Hmph! Wait until you reach the Eight Forbidden Strengths, or when your cultivation surpasses mine." Ning Qingyi scoffed. At his urging, the Ancient Green Gold Pagoda crashed through the cave barrier and soared towards the distant horizon.

Soon, this cave was in an uproar, with many messages being transmitted outward from this center. For a while, Beidou looked like a storm was about to come.

Yan State, in a primeval mountain forest.

Ning Qingyi put away the ancient lapis lazuli pagoda and released Ye Fan and others. Everyone looked at the surrounding scenery, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then burst into laughter.

Especially Pang Bo, Zhou Yi, Liu Yiyi and others, their faces were full of the feeling of surviving a disaster.

Pang Bo said, "Qingyi, thank you so much, but I didn't expect you to have such a strong background! Did you come to the mortal world to cultivate your mind when you were in college? Hahaha."

Zhou Yi also sighed: "I didn't expect that Lingbao Tianzun actually existed and Ge Hong is still alive in the world. Is this the wonder of cultivation?"

Ning Qingyi shook his head. "It was only after I graduated from university that I had the good fortune to enter Luofu Mountain and be accepted into the Master's fold. In terms of cultivation, I haven't been practicing Taoism for much longer than you have."

Everyone was speechless, but now they were no longer ordinary people, so they naturally knew that the difference between the quasi-emperor's disciples and low-level cultivators like them was like heaven and earth.

Wang Ziwen seemed to have made up her mind and suddenly said, "Brother Ning, I'm grateful for your kindness, but I still have a request. Could you please contact Senior Ge Hong and send me back to Earth?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence all around, and even Ye Fan looked at them with eager eyes.

"You're mistaken. Although I did become a disciple at Luofu Mountain, I've never met my master." Ning Qingyi restrained his expression, then sighed, leaving a few words unsaid. The reason he was so arrogant and conceited in Lingxu Cave Heaven was to frighten the holy places and aristocratic families. Judging from the results, it was very successful.

"What!" Ye Fan was speechless, and the others were also shocked. Could it be that what Ning Qingyi said was all a lie? If the people just now knew this, they would probably tear them apart.

"Master Ge Hong has already gone to the starry sky. I only received the inheritance and have the great sacred artifact to protect me. I can't help you contact him." Ning Qingyi comforted them, and then suddenly said jokingly: "But if I die, I'm afraid Master Ge will come. After all, he is a quasi-emperor with earth-shaking divine power. He will definitely come to see the death of his successor."

"So, you can't help us get home?" Wang Ziwen was a little distraught.

Not only him, but everyone else also had sad expressions.

Only after embarking on the path of cultivation did they realize the immense power of traversing the starry sky. If they wanted to return home to see their families, it would probably take them hundreds of years to accomplish it on their own.

But what will be left after hundreds of years?

I’m afraid you won’t even be able to see the bones!

Ning Qingyi suddenly added, "But it's not without a chance. Within ten years, there should be a chance to return to Earth. It will just be very dangerous. If you still have this idea by then, please contact me."

A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes, and they nodded heavily.

"Okay, I was originally planning to catch up with you guys, but with such a big change happening, I have to go do some things in advance. See you next time." Ning Qingyi said goodbye to them calmly, then looked at Ye Fan and asked, "What are your plans next?"

Ye Fan said: "Let's escort the princess back to the demon tribe first."

Ning Qingyi thought for a moment and then sent a voice message: "You are a holy body. If you want to break through the four extremes, you will need at least tens of millions of pounds of energy. Have you considered this?"

Ye Fan smiled bitterly: "There is no way for the time being. Although the princess is willing to lend me a hand, tens of millions of pounds of energy is really too huge!"

Ning Qingyi continued to transmit his voice: "In that case, it's best not to send Yan Ruyu back so quickly. Instead, take the imperial weapon and go to Purple Mountain in the Northern Territory. It seems that Yuan Tianshi's inheritance is lost there."

Ye Fan was stunned: "Master Yuan?"

"That's right. It's an inheritance that can find dragon veins and determine the source of the spirit. If you obtain the inheritance of Yuan Tianshi, you will definitely be able to use it to accumulate materials for cultivation. Therefore, with the imperial weapon, you may have a chance to get it."

Ye Fan nodded and was silent for a moment: "I understand."

Ning Qing saw through his thoughts and said, "I've said everything I need to say. There are dangers, of course. You should think about it carefully. We'll see each other for a long time to come."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored everyone's attempts to keep him, and rode the rainbow into the sky, disappearing from everyone's sight.

But with his departure, new disturbances spread across the Eastern Wasteland.

In the Ji Clan, the ancient Ji River has flowed slowly here for at least fifty thousand years. Floating islands and majestic celestial mountains rise and fall one after another, and palaces and buildings are scattered across the landscape, resembling the legendary heavens. One day, the Grand Elder of the Returned Clan sought an audience with a living fossil. The two conferred for a long time, and the Grand Elder finally departed with a heavy expression.

Yaoguang Holy Land is also a magnificent fairyland with beautiful peaks and thousand-foot silver waterfalls. Mountains converge to form a leaping dragon pattern, like a flying fairy, and there are also large groups of ancient palaces.

"Have you heard? Senior Brother Shengzi was defeated."

"I, Yaoguang, am actually a member of the Great Emperor's faction?"

With the return of the Supreme Elder, all kinds of messages were circulated crazily.

The Holy Son Yaoguang stood still on a mountain somewhere, with someone following him from behind.

"You haven't failed. Wait until your Tian Gong is fully developed, and then we can compete again."

"I see."

The Jiang family is a pure land in the Northern Territory. While the outside world is mostly barren, this place is awash with clouds and lush greenery. Mighty mountains hover in the sky, surrounded by rosy clouds, creating a poetic and picturesque scene. Silver waterfalls cascade thousands of feet down to the heavens and earth. And there, a divine city, eternally unfallen, stands tall in the clouds.

Jiang Yifei was reporting to the head of the family at this moment, but the head of the family shook his head after listening.

"I didn't expect that little Tingting actually has the Taiyin body and has practiced the Taiyin Sutra. His master also has an amazing background, being a direct disciple of a quasi-emperor. Well, let's help see if we can resolve the hatred."

The entire Eastern Wasteland was shaken by Ning Qingyi! And he brought Jiang Tingting to the Northern Territory.
