Chapter 503 The Future Belongs to Us
After the departure of many ancient creatures, only the sacred sites of the human race, the Divine Silkworm Ridge, and the forces of the First King's clan remained in the Jin King's Tomb.

After the Silverblood Clan disappeared, the First Royal Clan, as the strongest ancient royal family, was willing to help the Divine Silkworm Ridge this time, which must have been due to some promises from the Spirit Silkworm Daoist.

The various holy lords and powerful figures looked at Qin Sheng with complex expressions, their eyes showing three parts shock, three parts admiration, three parts disbelief, and one part despair.

Every time Qin Sheng reappears after a period of silence, he gives the world a huge surprise. The impact is so great that it makes people dizzy and their spirits almost dissipate.

Tosen, are you really someone without limits?

The battle at the Immortal Transformation Pool was a decisive victory, which could be explained by the Hengyu Secret Treasure. It could be said that the Eastern Immortals, relying on the advantage of their weapons, could give other Dao-Slaying Kings a sacred artifact, allowing them to replicate the same feat.

But this time, Qin Sheng single-handedly defeated a royal half-saint, driving him to the brink of collapse, and finally launched a suicide attack with a sacred weapon, which is undoubtedly the best proof of his personal strength.

A young man around thirty years old, whose combat power is almost at the Saint level!
Such an achievement is extremely rare throughout the ancient history of cultivation. Look at those living fossils who are three thousand years old, a hundred times older than Qin Sheng, yet they are still troubled about how to sever their path.

People are more mad than people.

In particular, Qin Sheng not only cultivates quickly, but his combat strength also shows no signs of declining. He excels in both areas.

Anyone who witnessed this battle could see that the semi-saint barrier was as fragile as paper to Dongxian, and could be easily punctured.

So, will the true barrier of the Holy Realm be able to stop Qin Sheng in the future?

This is a question that dares not be pondered too deeply, yet the answer is already in one's heart.

The feat of defying the heavens and slaying a saint may no longer be just a legend in this lifetime.

"Lord Qin... His divine might is boundless, I admire him, I truly admire him." The Lord of the Ji family exclaimed in admiration.

The Ji family is arguably the power with the deepest connection to Qin Sheng. After all, the battle in which Dongxian truly made a name for itself in the Eastern Wilderness was when he slapped the Great Moon away, thus attracting the world's attention.

Before that, Qin Sheng was just a disciple who was somewhat well-known within the Yao Guang Holy Land.

It was the Four Great Emperors who supported Qin Sheng.

In retrospect, the Ji family has watched Qin Sheng get to where he is today step by step.

After learning that the ancestral star of Dongxian and the Void Emperor might be the same, the Holy Lord of the Ji family even fantasized that it would be great if Qin Sheng were a member of the Ji family.

"You flatter me, Holy Lord Ji," Qin Sheng said with a humble smile.

The Holy Lord of the Ji family was actually in a good mood, after all, the Ji family still had Ji Zi as a guarantee, and was full of hope.

"When our little ancestor cultivates to the sixth level of the Dao Severing Realm... or to be conservative, the seventh level, he should also have this kind of combat power, right?" Ji Family Saint Master thought to himself.

"Well, Xiao Zu's physical body is probably not as good as Dong Xian's, but his overall combat strength should be about the same by then."

Little Ancestor is an imperial prince!

Ancient texts record that the emperor's son was invincible.

"It is a blessing for the human race to have a powerful figure like Lord Qin in this era. With such combat strength, he already possesses the demeanor of a saint," Jiang Yun said with a smile.

Jiang Yun remained calm. The relationship between Qin Sheng and the Jiang family was common knowledge. As for how to deal with the struggle for the Emperor's Road given Dong Xian's strength,
Jiang Yun is one or two thousand years old, and he has no intention of competing with Qin Sheng for the throne of the Great Emperor. He is not the one who bears the pressure of the Eastern Immortal Realm.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; the future of those younger members of the Jiang family who aspire to the throne depends on their own destiny.

"Even the semi-saints of the ancient royal family are no match for the Holy Lord Qin. Without a saint, who can contend with him?"

"Lord Qin is already the number one expert below the level of a sage."

"..."

The holy lords of the various holy lands all spoke up, praising and flattering, and even those who had other thoughts in their hearts showed great enthusiasm at this moment.

Given Qin Sheng's combat strength and cultivation speed, they had already foreseen that Dong Xian would likely become a saint in just a few years, wielding the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron and becoming the ruler of the Eastern Wilderness.

Only when a great era truly arrives and sages emerge in great numbers will the true distinction between ordinary holy lands and the lineage of the Great Emperor be revealed.

An imperial weapon is an insurmountable chasm.

"The number one expert below the sage level? That's too much." Qin Sheng shook his head with a smile.

"Furthermore, you all overestimate Zi Fengchuan. He has the cultivation of a half-saint, but his combat strength is not that strong. Killing him is really nothing worth mentioning."

Leaving aside Lin Youtian, who achieved the semi-saint realm in an environment like Beidou, even if the Golden Crow King and the Human King of Ziwei Ancient Star were at the semi-saint realm, Zi Fengchuan would not be a match for them.

The Golden Crow King and his group at least possessed the combat power of the Seven Forbidden Realms. While the Primordial Creatures sound impressive, from Qin Sheng's perspective, their combat power was truly ordinary.

For example, in Zifengchuan, only the middle level of the eight forbidden areas is forbidden.

He was able to cultivate to the half-saint realm in the ancient times, which shows he has some talent. Zi Fengchuan must have been an unparalleled genius when he reached the second immortal realm.

However, it is clear that Zi Fengchuan's talent cannot sustain him in maintaining high combat power at the Dao Severing and Saint levels.

Genius fades.

A village-level genius or one in ten years appears powerless when standing among national-level or one in a thousand years of extraordinary talent.

Most of the ancient ancestral kings, as well as many saints in the starry sky, were not particularly strong in combat.

In the original storyline, Ye Fan, at the Half-Saint realm, embarked on the Ancient Star Road. After ten years of honing his skills, he could easily kill some Saints in the universe without entering the Divine Forbidden Zone, demonstrating the true level of their combat power.

If every saint had seven or eight prohibitions, Master Ye would have been beaten to death long ago.

However, Qin Sheng's words, which he considered trivial and unassuming, silenced the Holy Lords of the Eastern Wilderness.

Even if his combat strength isn't great, he's still a half-saint...

"Shouldn't beings from the ancient royal family be weak?" someone wondered.

"The ancient royal family is nothing special. The Divine Valley may look amazing, but its overall strength may not even be as great as the Wind Clan," Qin Sheng added.

Qin Sheng was telling the truth. There were no Great Sages in the Divine Valley, and only a few Ancestral Kings. If you really let them fight the Wind Clan, they might not win.

"There's no need for you to be afraid just because they come from the ancient times. The present is not inferior to the past. How many great emperors emerged in the ancient times? No fewer than the emperors of the Primordial Era." Qin Sheng said solemnly.

"The strength of the ancient royal families is indeed worthy of respect, but we also have great imperial families like the Ji family and the Jiang family."

Lingcan Daoist nodded, not feeling offended. "In the ancient times, the human race also produced two supreme emperors, but their lineages were not here. That's why the Beidou human race is slightly weaker compared to many royal families."

"But during that period, the Beidou human race also gave birth to ancestral kings and great sages."

"Fellow Daoist Lingcan is quite right. Humans like us have no need to fear anyone because of royal bloodlines. A so-called royal family is at most equivalent to a major holy land within the human race," Qin Sheng said incisively.

The holy rulers listened silently, but upon hearing this, they couldn't help but think:
Is Tosen really human? Or are we really human?

I have a feeling that one of them should be expelled from the human race...

The Holy Lord of the Ji family pondered for a moment, and finally said, "I have learned a lot."

Qin Sheng had long since discovered that many people harbored a fear of the ancients.

Upon hearing that the ancient clan had arrived, he instinctively felt a bit intimidated. The thought of fighting the ancient clan made his hands tremble, and he instinctively put himself in a lower position.

Show the same courage you had when you hunted down the Holy Body!
Click!

A cracking sound rang out, and when everyone looked up, they found that cracks had appeared in this small world.

"This place is about to be destroyed, let's get out of here first," Qin Sheng said.

After everyone left the small world as instructed and returned to the Broken Dust Ancient Land, the Ji family's Holy Lord and the others bid farewell to Qin Sheng.

Although they didn't find any treasures during their trip to the tomb of the Prince of Jin, they still felt it was worthwhile.

To witness such an earth-shattering battle, even death would be worthwhile!

One by one, the experts departed. Qin Sheng quietly watched the tomb of the Prince of Jin, which was once again covered by spatial turbulence, drifting in the void, and finally collapsing completely from the inside out.

The last traces left by this peerless saintly king have also disappeared. After many years, he will eventually be forgotten by the world.

"Lord Qin, I will open this coffin of longevity now and see if there are any other things inside," said the Spirit Silkworm Daoist.

"Okay." Qin Sheng nodded.

After the coffin lid was opened, a thick green smoke wafted out, carrying a foul odor. Lingcan Daoist waved his hand to dispel it.

Duan De immediately craned his neck to look and exclaimed in surprise, "So that's what it is!"

As he spoke, his hand didn't slow down either, reaching into the coffin to try and claim the treasure for himself. However, the Spirit Silkworm Daoist succeeded before Duan De could.

There were no burial objects in the coffin, except for a jade cicada about the size of a thumb, which was shrouded in mist.

After picking up the jade cicada, Lingcan Daoist handed it directly to Qin Sheng, without coveting it, strictly adhering to the agreement.

After Qin Sheng took the jade cicada, he carefully inspected the coffin again to make sure nothing was missing, and then said, "Alright, the Longevity Wood is now returned to Shencan Ridge."

Lingcan Daoist immediately put it away, unable to suppress his joy.

"The Heavenly Dao Secret Techniques and the things I promised will be delivered to the Yao Guang Holy Land as soon as possible. Holy Lord Qin, your Holy Land can also select disciples first, and someone will come to Shencan Ridge to cultivate."

As the ancestral home of the ancient royal family, Shencan Ridge is a rare treasure land in the world, with some places within it that are of great benefit to cultivation.

You should know that the descendants of the Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor live in the peerless Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, a place that even Ruthless Man and Wu Shi have coveted.

The God Emperor's strength and lifespan both surpass those of the Myriad Dragon Emperor, so there's no reason for his clan's territory to be inferior. Even if they were to seize it, they would still give the Divine Silkworm Clan a prime location.

"Of course I trust you, fellow Daoist, and I also trust the Divine Silkworm Clan," Qin Sheng said with a smile.

Lingcan Daoist hesitated for a moment, then reminded him, "Saint Lord Qin has unparalleled talent and astonishing combat power. Few people admire him for reaching this level with a mortal body, but you are one of them."

"But Lord Qin, you are too dazzling. This will surely attract a lot of attention. There are some people in the ancient clans who are extremely ruthless and have no clan restraint. Be careful."

"Shencan Ridge is willing to live in peace with the human race, but many ancient creatures have different ideas... In order to eliminate hidden dangers, in the future, there may be an Ancestral King, or even a Great Sage, who will personally take action against you, Holy Lord Qin."

Great Sages are not exclusive to ancient royal families. People like Hun Tuo and Kun Zhou were not born into royal families, but their strength was by no means weak.

Don't think that just because Qin Sheng has the backing of Yao Guang and possesses the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, he can make the experts of the ancient clans wary and dare not bully the weak.

In the ancient times, Princess Divine Silkworm had already cultivated to the Ancestral King realm, yet the hostile ancient clan's Great Sage still attacked without hesitation, almost killing her.

What was Princess Shencan's identity at that time?
The future Great Sage of Shencan Ridge, the fiancée of the Fighting Saint King, and the sister-in-law of the Fighting Saint Emperor—in the eyes of the ancient creatures, such a status was far more noble than that of a Yao Guang Saint Lord, yet it still couldn't intimidate others.

Qin Sheng's battle was indeed earth-shattering, but it would also surely attract endless killing intent.

"I can already feel the chill, and I foresee a future with winds blowing from all directions, destined to unleash a bloodbath," Qin Sheng sighed.

"Although I am weak, if any Ancestral King wants to kill me, I will not sit idly by and wait for my death. Thank you for reminding me, fellow Daoist."

If the Ancestral King is so powerful, what can he do if he really wants to target Qin Sheng?
Of course, the best option is to reason with them.

After finishing their business, the Spirit Silkworm Daoist led the ancient creatures away. "Woof!"

The Black Emperor pounced on him, shouting, "Immortal Qin, quickly take out that jade cicada!"

"What is this?" Qin Sheng looked at Duan De, seeking an expert's answer.

“The reborn cicada,” Duan De explained.

"When a cultivator is on the verge of death, if it is placed in their mouth during burial, their primordial spirit will be absorbed into it, keeping them alive for as short as forty-nine days and as long as ninety-nine days. After that, the cultivator can be 'reborn' and regain their vitality."

"Of course, it is useless to people whose lifespan is about to run out, and it also has limitations. If the Great Sage suffers a particularly serious injury, it will be difficult for him to recover. A single Rebirth Cicada can be used a maximum of three times."

Qin Sheng's eyes lit up. Without a doubt, this was a life-saving treasure that could save a person from near death.

If the Holy Prince had obtained a Rebirth Cicada earlier, he wouldn't have needed to travel around searching for medicine.

The cicada that is about to die is entirely white except for its two black wings.

"Both cicada wings are black, which means this thing has been used twice. After it's used a third time, its entire body will turn black," Duan De continued.

"Then it will become a deadly cicada. If you put it in a corpse, that corpse will definitely turn into a zombie, and it will be more ferocious than you can imagine."

"This is good." Qin Sheng put away the Rebirth Cicada.

"Woof!" Black King protested.

"Hey Qin, that bastard from Shenling Valley was right. You're just insatiable. If it weren't for me and Fatty, you wouldn't have been able to find the Tomb of the Prince of Jin at all."

"Now that all three treasures are in your hands, do you want to keep them all for yourself? Quickly divide them up, one for each of you. I want the Bright Sun Refining Universe Array Flag."

"What kind of good thoughts are you having?" Qin Sheng certainly wouldn't allow it.

"Immortal Qin, this isn't very fair of you," Duan De said, equally dissatisfied.

As the discoverer of the Jin King's tomb and the greatest contributor to subduing the Jin King's corpse, he received nothing. Is that right?

Even if you were to take this matter to the ancient Heavenly Court for judgment, it still wouldn't make sense!
"We're all friends, so of course I won't leave you with nothing." Qin Sheng took out the Quasi-Emperor Ghost Statue and the Immortal Statue, handing the former to Duan De and the latter to the Black Emperor.

"Don't say I didn't take care of you. The things that Quasi-Emperors refine are of a higher grade than the Great Sage's Array Flag and the Rebirth Cicada. You've made a profit."

The dog and the man didn't know the meaning of politeness. When Qin Sheng offered it, they accepted it directly, and then beamed with joy.

"Immortal Qin, you're a decent person. Give me the Rebirth Cicada again." The Black Emperor was truly insatiable.

"That's out of the question. You have absolutely no use for this," Qin Sheng refused.

Even if anyone dies, these two scourges are unlikely to die; it would be a complete waste to put a life-saving treasure on them.

"The reason I gave you the quasi-emperor statue is actually to ask you to do something," Qin Sheng coaxed gently.
"Think about it, how powerful were the Quasi-Emperor statues at their peak? They could even trap and kill Holy Spirits. Now, the long-lost statues have reappeared, and two of them have fallen into our hands. What does this mean?"

"They are connected to us by fate!"

"Fellow Daoists, Black Emperor, if you can find all nine stone statues and repair them, who in heaven and on earth can stop you?"

"We could just run straight to the Dragon Nest... no, to the Valley of Gods, and refine their ancestral lands without any problem. What treasures wouldn't we have then?"

The Myriad Dragon Nest is definitely not a place to refine anything; it contains the coffin of a ruthless emperor, and we cannot be disrespectful to Ancestor Nan.

After listening to Qin Sheng's encouraging words, Duan De shook his head.

"This thing has been lost for countless millennia, how could it possibly still be found... But I can give it a try."

It was obvious that both he and Black King were tempted.

"That's right." Qin Sheng smiled with satisfaction.

He wants the Quasi-Emperor statue, but he doesn't want to delay his cultivation or waste time searching for it. What should he do?
Of course, it should be handed over to the amazing Duan De.

"If you use the Rebirth Cicada later, remember to give it to me after it transforms into the Death Cicada. I have a use for it," Duan De suddenly said.

"No problem," Qin Sheng readily agreed.

"Let's go, let's go."

After the distribution of the treasures, Duan De and Hei Huang were very carefree, never troubled by parting, and left in a hurry.

"This Taoist priest is truly an extraordinary person from the tomb," Lin Youtian praised.

"It is indeed extraordinary." Qin Sheng nodded.

"How did the Holy Lord come to know him?" Lin Youtian asked curiously.

"We hit it off immediately when we attacked the Azure Emperor's Tomb and forged a deep friendship." Qin Sheng then left with the people from the Yao Guang Holy Land.

“Holy Lord, what if the Ancestral King really attacks you later…” Lin Youtian was also very worried about this issue.

The events at the Jin King's tomb spread like wildfire throughout the Eastern Wilderness, leaving countless people utterly astonished.

The Ji family.

"What? That great demon killed a royal half-saint in just three moves? He's too monstrous!" Ji Ziyue's already large eyes widened even more, and she kept talking nonstop.

"He's only been back in Beidou for a few years and he's already reached this level of cultivation. In a few more years, won't he become a Great Accomplishment King?"

"Terrible, bro, don't argue with this kind of person, you can't beat him."

Big Moon: "..."

He was already a powerful figure, and perhaps because of the immense pressure Qin Sheng exerted on him, as well as Ji Zi's guidance, the Great Moon's combat strength was greater than it was at this point in the original timeline.

However, this difference seemed to have no meaning in front of Qin Sheng, who possessed the strength of a half-saint.

"I wonder when our little ancestor will be able to cultivate to this level." Little Moon's gaze turned to an ancient hall deep within the Ji family.

Himeko is currently in seclusion there.

Fire Scale Cave.

When Huo Yao, the half-saint, brought back the battle report from the Jin King's Tomb, both the Qilin siblings frowned.

"Zi Fengchuan's combat strength shouldn't be very strong. It's not surprising that Qin Sheng, who has stepped into the Divine Forbidden Domain, could defeat him," Huo Qizi murmured.

"The divine restriction is indeed amazing, but the most troublesome thing about this person is his cultivation speed... The suppression of the Azure Emperor's Great Dao is still in effect, how can he break through so quickly?"

A figure like the ancient prince is basically not afraid of half-saints when he reaches the third level after breaking through the Dao.

Qin Sheng's current combat prowess is enough to make the ancient prince take him seriously and regard him as a formidable enemy, but it is by no means enough to make him fearful or lose his fighting spirit.

The problem is that Qin Sheng broke through too quickly, and they can't see any opportunity to fight against someone of the same realm.

Both are geniuses at the level of ancient princes, but you are at the early stage of the Dao Cultivation Realm while he is at the peak of the Dao Cultivation Realm. How can you fight like this?

This isn't how you fight for the throne!
This is precisely what the semi-saints of the ancient royal family are worried about. No matter how confident they are, they do not believe that their own ancient prince can almost cross a major realm to defeat another "ancient prince".

"Brother, don't worry. Once Qin Sheng is blocked at the gate of the Holy Realm, we can face him head-on." Huo Lin'er was very rational.

Fire Kirin remained silent for a moment, then looked in one direction.

"I want to visit the Primordial Ancient Mine."

Shencan Ridge.

The Spirit Silkworm Daoist brought back the Longevity Wood, giving the entire Divine Silkworm Clan a huge surprise.

Because it can even be effective against powerful figures like the Divine Silkworm Princess.

It's impossible to directly help the Divine Silkworm Princess complete a transformation and break through her cultivation level. But given the Divine Silkworm Princess's strength, it's already extremely difficult for her to undergo a transformation. Even if the Longevity Wood can only play a supporting role, it still has great significance.

"What? You promised the Yao Guang Holy Land so many benefits?" A Great Completion King of the Divine Silkworm Clan was shocked.

"The Imperial Path Secret Technique, a cultivation opportunity in the sacred Divine Silkworm Ridge—how can this be allowed?"

“If I don’t promise these things, the Longevity Wood will fall into the hands of the Yao Guang Holy Land, and we will get nothing in the end,” Lingcan Daoist said calmly.

"Lord Qin has that strength."

“He is indeed an astonishing human; no wonder the Holy Prince speaks so highly of him,” Princess Divine Silkworm declared immediately.

“The Divine Silkworm Clan are not people who break their promises. Give them everything you promised.”

Since the Great Sage of the Divine Silkworm has not yet been born, as long as the Divine Silkworm Daoist does not object, the Divine Silkworm Clan will undoubtedly be ruled by this princess, and all matters can be decided with a single word.

As for the Divine Silkworm Taoist...

He was still drinking.

After discussions, the ancient royal families of Wanlong Nest, Blood Phoenix Mountain, and other places reached a consensus that their ancient princes and princesses should not contend with the Holy Lord of Yaoguang for the time being.

When the Holy Lord of Yaoguang hesitates before the barrier of the Holy Realm, that will be the opportunity to settle the score.

Let's wait and see what the future holds!

If we're talking about who reacted the most strongly to the battle at the Tomb of the Prince of Jin, it would undoubtedly be Shenling Valley.

They lost a demigod and a holy weapon, and the atmosphere in the entire valley became gloomy, and the sky darkened.

"Humans, how dare you!"

They certainly wouldn't swallow this insult so easily.

Shenling Valley began its operation.

After Qin Sheng returned to the Yao Guang Holy Land, Xiao Nannan and Dou Dou immediately ran over and hugged Qin Shengzhu's leg.

"Big brother, I have something to tell you!" The little girl looked a bit furtive and deliberately lowered her voice.

"What's wrong?" Qin Sheng asked, puzzled.

"I found a dark cave. When I went inside, I saw something that looked a lot like my brother's cauldron, but it was a different shape," the little girl said mysteriously.

"Sister Yao Xi said that she had obtained a treasure in the same way before. Big brother, has Nannan also found a treasure?"

The little guy looked like he thought he was really amazing.

It's very similar to Ye Fan's cauldron. Aren't other shapes just the primordial energy of all things?

Qin Sheng: "..."

Digging your own grave?
(P.S.: After five consecutive days of non-stop updates, I'm taking a break today. That's all for now.)
