After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 231 Overbearing Approach
The invincible warriors of the Netherworld Sect fought relentlessly, one after another, until their deaths, in a bloody battle.

Qi Sheng, however, was quite relaxed.

He sat upright in his celestial abode, diligently practicing the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Exercise," progressing from the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms" to the "Four Seasons Battle Method" and then to the "Four Seasons Rotation."

Qi Sheng never expected this.

Despite having the "Sorrowful Cloud Sword Technique" leading the way, he ultimately managed to overtake others and reach the pinnacle first through the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Technique".

This is the end.

In close combat, apart from those in the Invincible Realm, few can consistently outclass Qi Sheng.

Six years of cultivating immortality, on the second day of the second lunar month.

After a month of arduous cultivation, Qi Sheng suddenly—

【Coordinates: Xuanming Realm】

[Introduction: The Silver Ape has mutated hair with a bizarre regenerative ability, allowing it to inhabit and control any other flesh-and-blood creature with hair, thus eliminating worries about hair loss.]

[Difficulty: Level 1 · ★★★★★★★★]

[Rating: ★★★☆; Although you used external forces to slay the 'Silver Ape,' the demon was violent, and your presence in the human world caused immense suffering and death. Your merits and demerits are difficult to quantify.]

Reward: 2091392 Merits

……

"what?"

"The silver ape was killed?"

Qi Sheng was both surprised and delighted when he saw the task settlement panel.

What was shocking was that the eight-star 'Silver Ape', comparable to an invincible realm cultivator, was killed once again. In a short period of time, including the 'Eight-Clawed Lion King', this was the second eight-star invincible realm demon to be completely killed by the Netherworld Sect.

The strength of the Netherworld Sect is truly unfathomable.

Although these invincible demons are fighting in a foreign land and are inferior to the invincible demons born and raised in the barbarian lands in many aspects, they are still powerful demons who have reached the invincible realm in a certain aspect.

Being killed by the Netherworld Sect time and time again is truly terrifying.

Qi Sheng once again held the Netherworld Sect in high regard.

However, compared to the shock of the Netherworld Sect slaying an eight-star demon, Qi Sheng was even more delighted: "This time the evaluation is actually three and a half stars!"

Although it was only half a star higher, the reward doubled, and an eight-star silver ape ultimately brought Qi Sheng a gain of over two million.

"Thank you, Netherworld Sect!"

Qi Sheng was filled with gratitude beyond measure.

He could roughly guess: "This time, it was probably the 'Twenty-Four Solar Terms Banners' that formed a large array, which restricted the Silver Ape from wreaking havoc. The casualties and damage were far less than the previous 'Eight-Clawed Lion King,' which is why the evaluation was slightly higher."

Either way, it's a good thing.

Now that the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Exercises" are in trouble, Qi Sheng is not in a hurry to continue practicing them, but instead turns to practicing the "Sorrowful Cloud Sword Technique"—

"With another six million merits, I will be able to fully master the 'Sorrowful Cloud Sword Technique'. At that time, I will be able to reach the pinnacle level in the art of flying swords."

Until then.

For close combat, there is the "Seasonal Techniques".

The remote skill is "Sorrowful Cloud Sword Technique".

Even among the top figures in the Barbarian Frontier, Qi Sheng is definitely considered strong. With these two abilities alone, he can compete for the title of 'the number one person below invincible'.

But it's meaningless.

Invincible realm?
Before Qi Sheng appeared, the Invincible Realm was indeed invincible.

But after Qi Sheng summoned ten-star demons twice, the filter of invincibility was shattered, and his aura of superiority crumbled completely.

Who has ever seen an invincible state where someone dies repeatedly?
It's become a joke.

Especially for Qi Sheng, the Invincible Realm has completely become a tool for him to hunt down high-level demons and harvest massive amounts of 'merit'.

"It took them a month to kill an eight-star 'Silver Ape,' so the Netherworld Sect's Invincible Realm isn't all that impressive!"

Qi Sheng was slightly dissatisfied with this efficiency.

Now that he had reached the pinnacle of the "Seasonal Techniques," and feeling restless and yearning for action, Qi Sheng decided to go out and check on the current situation of the Netherworld Sect, as well as the remaining two ten-star demons—

A woman in green.

A 'toad spirit'.

I wonder how it is now.

He was about to have Huang Chuan return to the Netherworld Sect when suddenly—

"Li Yun of the Netherworld Sect pays respects to Sect Leader Qi!"

……

"Finished defeating the monster?"

"Why are you here?"

Qi Sheng met with Li Yun out of curiosity about her purpose and the battle between the Netherworld Sect and the two ten-star demons.

The Netherworld Sect has five surnames and seven prominent families, two of which are surnamed Li.

First, there is the Taibai Li family, which occupies Taibai Mountain, one of the seven mountains and eight ridges of the Youming Sect. The invincible member of the family is named 'Li Wuxian', who is the ancestor of the immortal path and cultivates the 'Scripture of the Dead'.

First is the Li family of Blackwater, which occupies Blackwater Ridge, one of the seven mountains and eight ridges of the Netherworld Sect. The invincible one in the family is the 'Li Yun' in front of us. She is as beautiful as her name suggests, with a charming and captivating presence. Her cultivation is also in the martial arts lineage, and she has long been a master of the "Seasonal Technique".

Li Yun, as the Supreme Elder of the Netherworld Sect and an invincible figure in the Barbarian Frontier, commands respect even from fellow cultivators of the same invincible realm.

But Qi Sheng did not.

Li Yun was displeased, but considering the horrific events of the past month, she had no choice but to be more tolerant of Qi Sheng. She simply ignored his minor rudeness, composed herself, and said calmly, "Young friend, are you aware of the immense disaster you have just caused?"

"Oh?"

"The Netherworld Sect's invincible realm cultivators are all dead?"

Qi Sheng was surprised.

Li Yun's expression froze. So Qi Sheng thought that the complete extinction of the Netherworld Sect's invincible realm cultivators was what constituted a 'catastrophic disaster'?
and also.

Why is he so happy that all the invincible realm cultivators of the Netherworld Sect have died out?
Li Yun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Young friend—"

Qi Sheng waved his hand, interrupting her: "Don't call me 'little friend'."

He said unhappily, "What we people seek is longevity. A few hundred years is nothing. To be called 'young friend' by you makes me feel inferior to you by a generation. I don't accept that."

In the past, when I was not strong enough, I would just accept being called "young friend" by those old cultivators, taking it as a sign of respect for the elderly and care for the young.

But now that he has almost reached the top of the barbarian lands, few people can pose a threat to him anymore. It would be impolite for Li Yun to call him "little friend" again: "This shows that you still look down on me, despise me, think highly of yourself, are arrogant and have a sense of superiority."

Qi Sheng looked at Li Yun with a sincere expression: "I think we should be equals, and my status should even be higher. Otherwise, it shouldn't be you coming to Changwei Mountain today, but me going to the Youming Sect, right?"

"Don't go too far!"

Li Yun was slightly angry.

Qi Sheng hurriedly said, "No, no!"

But before Li Yun could even think that Qi Sheng was apologizing, she heard this wretched child say, "If I go to the Netherworld Sect, it doesn't mean I'm of low status. After all, I'm not going there to beg for mercy; I'm going there with disaster, and I'll be incredibly powerful!"

Li Yun's face turned completely ugly: "How dare you, you brat, humiliate me like this!?"

Qi Sheng looked down with disdain, completely unfazed: "So what if it's humiliation?"

He wasn't afraid of turning hostile at all: "A bunch of shameless dogs! I went to the Netherworld Sect to find you, and you did the opposite, using the 'Twenty-Four Solar Terms Banner' to besiege me and the 'Death God Blade' to cut me. Now that you know you can't kill me, now that you know I can destroy the Netherworld Sect, you come looking for me again, calling me 'little friend'?"

Qi Sheng pointed his finger at Li Yun, almost poking into her pretty nostrils, and sneered, "Shouldn't I insult you?" Li Yun, being older and more experienced, saw Qi Sheng's arrogance and fearlessness and suddenly smiled, "Sect Leader Qi is indeed a man of courage."

She shrugged and said helplessly, "What Sect Leader Qi said just now was actually what I wanted to say to Qi Huang and Wu Wang. These two are used to being high and mighty, thinking that the world will revolve around their will, that people should stick their heads out to be killed if they want to kill, and that the other party should be grateful if they want to make peace."

Li Yun looked at Qi Sheng and smiled sweetly: "I'm not on their side."

If the hard approach doesn't work, try the soft one?
Ah!
Qi Sheng scoffed, little did he know that Qi Sheng was unyielding to both soft and hard tactics.

Li Yun's mood changed faster than flipping through a book, and Qi Sheng was too lazy to figure it out. In his previous life, he was too lazy to figure out a girl's emotional changes, so he just let her do whatever she wanted. In this life, being invincible, he was even less likely to accommodate women.

Qi Shenglang said, "There's no point in saying more. If the Netherworld Sect wants a truce, it's simple. Just agree to a few conditions."

Li Yun said solemnly, "Sect Leader Qi, please speak."

Qi Sheng said bluntly: "First, I want the complete techniques of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Exercise and the Dead Man's Scripture, plus the four mystical arts of Corpse Refining Technique, Free and Easy Wandering, Divine Light of Separation and Union, and the Robe of Crossing Calamity."

Li Yun's expression changed: "The Two Skills and Four Techniques are secret methods of our Netherworld Sect, which are not passed on to outsiders. Only those in the Invincible Realm can learn the whole manual, and it is not passed on to outsiders. I'm afraid this will not work."

Qi Sheng waved his sleeve in displeasure: "Then let's not talk about it. I'll go and have another look around the Netherworld Sect."

Li Yun stared at Qi Sheng, trying to discern his true intentions while also putting pressure on him.

result.

Qi Sheng didn't even look at her, didn't even meet her gaze, and turned around directly, seemingly packing his things to go to the Netherworld Sect.

This piece of shit!

They never play by the rules.

Li Yun could only say, "Fine, fine! I can't argue with you."

Li Yun said helplessly, "Just tell me what you want. I'll go back and discuss it with the sect leader and the others, and then I'll give you an answer as soon as possible. How about that?"

Qi Sheng didn't reply, but turned around and continued to state his conditions—

"Second, I want Qi Huang and Wu Wang dead."

Li Yun: "..."

Got it!
Let him speak!
Let's see what other outrageous conditions he can come up with.

Qi Sheng was truly blunt; he put his mind to it when asked to name his terms.

"Third, compensate me with two Xuan artifacts."

"Fourth, give me a copy of all the Netherworld Sect's explorations and records of the Barbarian Frontier, the East Sea, the North Sea, the Western Pole, the Endless Mountains, and the Yuan Realm nodes and Yuan Realm."

"Fifth, thirty immortality elixirs, and a list of other resources is provided here. More is better than less."

……

Qi Sheng was clearly well-prepared; he had even prepared a list of claims.

Li Yun was speechless: "Your conditions are too outrageous."

The words have not yet fallen.

Suddenly seeing Qi Sheng about to turn around and leave again, Li Yun quickly stopped him, saying, "No, no, no, forget I said anything. I will bring back the conditions you proposed to the Netherworld Sect exactly as they were. But I advise you to be prepared. It's not difficult to agree to two or three of these conditions, but I advise you not to have too high expectations for the first three."

Li Yun felt that Qi Sheng was most likely exploiting the broken windows theory—

It looks like they want to tear the roof off.

Actually, just opening a window will do the trick.

Qi Sheng demanded an exorbitant price.

The Netherworld Sect will repay the money on the spot.

This is quite reasonable.

But she once again looked down on Qi Sheng: "I'll give you three hours. Give me your answer in three hours. If any one of the five conditions is not met, I will go to the Netherworld Sect again. At that time, it will be a fight to the death!"

"..."

Li Yun's pretty face showed surprise. She never expected that Qi Sheng, at such a young age, would be a madman.

They couldn't reach an agreement!
They simply couldn't reach an agreement!
Such a large-scale negotiation would normally involve several rounds of back-and-forth discussions, requiring at least three to five days or even three to five months to allow for reconciliation and negotiation, and to provide more room for maneuver.

But Qi Shengzhen gave them no room to maneuver, forcing the Netherworld Sect into a corner.

'This is terrible!'

Li Yun felt heavy-hearted and, carrying the 'Five Unequal Treaties of Qi Sheng,' hurriedly returned to the Netherworld Sect.

It took two hours and seven quarters of an hour just to get there.

In other words.

The actual time allotted for the eight invincible Supreme Elders of the Netherworld Sect to discuss matters was less than a quarter of an hour!

……

A quarter of an hour later.

With a flash of yellow light, Qi Sheng once again arrived at the Netherworld Sect.

This time, Li Yun came out to greet him: "Sect Leader Qi, please come in."

Qi Sheng waved his hand: "Stop with the formalities, state my conditions, and now that the time has come, give me your answer."

Li Yun had not yet spoken.

Then another person stepped out from the Netherworld Sect. It was none other than Nanmen Feiying. This Netherworld Sect leader walked up to Qi Sheng and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Qi is indeed radiant."

Qi Sheng looked at him quietly.

Nanmen Feiying understood immediately. He saw the madness in Qi Sheng's eyes and dared not waste time exchanging pleasantries with Qi Sheng based on past experience. He immediately threw out the two heads and said loudly, "Fellow Daoists Qi, Huang, and Wu have allowed their clansmen to bully their fellow disciples, neglected to discipline them, and even personally persecuted Fellow Daoist Qi. They deserve to be executed."

Qi Sheng didn't even blink or look at the two heads in front of him, and simply asked, "What about the others?"

Nanmen Feiying smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Qi, please come in."

Qi Sheng waved his hand: "Stop with the formalities. Just state my conditions and let the Netherworld Sect fulfill them one by one. I won't go in."

Nanmen Feiying had not yet spoken.

Then another person emerged from the Netherworld Sect, with an air of otherworldly grace; it was none other than Li Wuxian, the Supreme Ancestor of the Taibai Li Clan.

Li Wuxian strode over and laughed loudly, "Fellow Daoist Qi, please be patient. All the techniques of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms and the Scripture of the Dead, plus the four profound arts of 'Corpse Refining Technique,' 'Free and Easy Wandering,' 'Divine Light of Separation and Union,' and 'Robe of Crossing Calamity,' as well as all the exploration data of the Barbarian Frontier, the East Sea, the North Sea, the Western Pole, the Endless Mountains, the Yuan Realm nodes, and the Yuan Realm, and resources such as the Elixir of Immortality, my Netherworld Sect still needs time to gather."

Qi Sheng nodded, indicating his understanding: "What about the mystic artifacts? Two mystic artifacts shouldn't require any fundraising, right?"

Li Wuxian smiled wryly and said, "Fellow Daoist is really impatient."

He immediately took out an item from his sleeve and said loudly, "This is the 'Azure Sun Pillar,' one of the eighteen treasures used by the five ancestors of the barbarian lands to control the floods. It is said to have been forged from a great meteorite that was not completely destroyed in ancient times and was floating in the sky above the nine heavens. Once this treasure is refined, it can withstand the heavenly tribulation, just like a second life."

It is also a treasure for flood control.

Qi Sheng took the 'Azure Sun Pillar' and probed it with his magic power, finding it to be unfathomable. It was indeed a profound treasure.

Qi Sheng accepted it: "There's one more item."

Li Wuxian smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Qi, please come in."

Qi Sheng waved his hand: "Stop with the formalities, we're still missing a Xuan-level artifact."

Li Wuxian had not yet spoken.

Then another person emerged from the Netherworld Sect, walking with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger; it was none other than Feng Baichuan, the Supreme Ancestor of the Feng Family of Danxue.

Feng Baichuan strode over and said loudly, "Fellow Daoist Qi, please be patient. The second Xuan artifact is here. Please accept it."
