Qin Shi didn't take Fuyang's threat to heart. A faint smile hung on the corner of his lips as he fiddled with the Divine Lightning Bead in his palm. He watched Fuyang and the disciples of the Three Purities Group leave the main hall.
Qin Shi knew that Fuyang was referring to Fu Yu and Wang Lie of the Jade Pure Palace, the three monstrous geniuses. However, no matter how famous the three monstrous geniuses were, he was not afraid now. If the elemental beads in his hands were just ordinary elemental beads, the three monstrous geniuses might have a way to resist them. However, these Thunder Beads were stronger than ordinary elemental beads. Moreover, what Fuyang saw was only a dozen or so elemental beads, which was only a few percent of the Thunder Beads that he currently possessed.
"Haha, four thousand and nine hundred Divine Lightning Beads. Not to mention the three monstrous geniuses, even if any of the Three Purities Group dares to offend me, I'll blast them to the ground."
Qin Shi grinned. At this moment, Ling Zhu and the others stepped forward and looked at Fuyang walking away. They weren't as relaxed as Qin Shi.
Ling Zhu rebuked, "Idiot, why did you do that?
Do you know how precious a Heavenly Mystery is?
Why did you agree to it? "
"Because you're my elder sister."
Qin Shi suddenly grinned, which tugged at Ling Zhu's heartstrings.
Ling Zhu was slightly dazed. She smiled after a while, "At least you have a conscience."
But in Ling Zhu's heart, there was a huge wave. She didn't believe that Qin Shi was an idiot. Even if Qin Shi didn't know how precious a Heavenly Mystery was, he must have a rough idea. However, Qin Shi was willing to give up a Heavenly Mystery in exchange for her life. How could she not be touched?
However, Ling Zhu didn't know the latter half of Qin Shi's words. Qin Shi didn't say it out loud either.
"Haha, moreover, who can touch my, Qin Shi's, things that belong to me, Qin Shi?
If he wants a Heavenly Mystery, I'll give it to him. I'm just afraid that he doesn't have the ability to absorb it. "
Qin Shi coldly laughed. Immediately, the last words that the evil demon had softly muttered beside his ear on the altar flashed in his mind.
"All Fuyang wants is this Heaven's Fate. Why don't we just give it to him? However, we'll have to tamper with the Heaven's Fate."
"Some tricks?"
"Mhm." The Nefarious Devil smiled proudly. Then, a strange diagram appeared in its claws and imprinted itself on the Heavenly Mystery.
Qin Shi's eyes flickered with astonishment when he saw the Demon Diagram. He felt a similar curse power from the Demon Diagram to the Dazzling Light Divine Sword and the Poison Master.
"This is a curse?"
"Yes, with this seal, we can seize back the workings of the heavens at any time. Moreover, when it's necessary, perhaps we can use it to threaten Fuyang or that so-called Sky Palace?" said the evil spirit with a smile.
Qin Shi's black eyes flickered. That's what led to the current scene.
In other words, even if the Heaven's Fate was given to Fuyang, even if Fuyang absorbed it, as long as the demon's diagram remained, the Heaven's Fate wouldn't belong to Fuyang. Instead, Fuyang's life would be in Qin Shi's hands.
"You have to pay the price for dipping your fingers into my, Qin Shi's, things," said Qin Shi with a smile.
Qin Shi looked at Ling Zhu, who was moved to tears. He smiled helplessly and rubbed her hair. "Alright, Sister Ling Zhu, don't take it to heart. I wasn't wrong. That Heaven's Fate doesn't suit me. I can't absorb it."
"You can't absorb it?"
Ling Zhu frowned, then hesitated. "Could it be that your natal body isn't qualified?"
"Haha, it's the exact opposite," said Black Dragon.
The black dragon suddenly said, "If I'm not wrong, it should be that Tianji isn't worthy of Qin Shi."
"What?
The Heaven's Fate isn't worthy of Qin Shi? "
Ling Zhu and the others widened their eyes. The Heaven's Fate was the source of the Heavenly Will. How could the Heavenly Will compensate a mortal?
They'd never heard of such a thing.
However, just as they were about to ask for proof, Qin Shi couldn't help smiling and nodding.
Everyone's jaws dropped once more.
Qin Shi looked oddly at Black Dragon and smiled. "How do you know all this?"
"How can my king be mediocre?
Although that Heaven's Fate is powerful, I don't believe it's so powerful that it's unworthy of my king. But you said you can't absorb it. That's the only thing I can think of, "said Black Dragon.
Qin Shi smiled bitterly. Black Dragon had great confidence in him.
"We've reached the end of the tomb. Everyone has gained a lot, and there's not much time left until the middle Xuan region closes. Let's hurry up and leave?"
Ling Zhu asked.
Everyone nodded in response, their eyes flickering with anticipation towards the middle Xuan region.
The trip to the tomb had come to an end. The one who had gained the most was naturally Qin Shi, who had entered the altar. He had practically obtained all the ultimate treasures in the tomb. Of course, after learning about what had happened tens of thousands of years ago from Dao Qing, everything seemed to be as it should be. In fact, Qin Shi could proudly say that the so-called Deep Sea Genesis reservoir and Dao Qing's tomb were all prepared for him alone.
As for the other disciples, they were merely there to serve as foils.
Of course, he naturally would not spread this news, or others would surely think he had gone mad.
Everyone left the tomb. Ling Zhu and the rest had all reached the level 100 Spirit Tablet level, enough to support them into the middle Xuan region.
"Shall we head to the middle Xuan region together?"
Ling Zhu suggested, "The middle Xuan region is the key to the Deep Sea Genesis reservoir. It'll also decide how much we'll gain in the end."
Mo Xingyu and the rest naturally had no objections. They were Ling Zhu's followers after all.
The three Vajra Palace brothers and the You Labi trio looked at each other. Entering the middle Xuan region was their goal, and they would naturally not give up on such an opportunity.
However, Qin Shi suddenly smiled and said, "Big sis Ling Zhu, I won't be going with you guys for the time being. My friends are waiting for me in the eastern Xuan region, so let's meet in the middle Xuan region."
Ling Zhu hesitated for a moment. She had originally wanted to say that she would accompany Qin Shi to find Chen Yan and the rest, but after a moment of hesitation, she suddenly changed her mind and nodded.
Ling Zhu said, "That's fine too. Take this token. Crush it after you enter the middle Xuan region, and we'll establish a communication space. We'll then find a place to meet up."
Qin Shi was taken aback for a moment, before he unceremoniously received the token. However, he had already made up his mind not to use the token in the middle Xuan region.
Now that he had offended the Three Purities group, Fuyang would definitely take revenge on him once he entered the middle Xuan region. If Ling Zhu and the rest followed him, it would only bring them unnecessary trouble.
However, when Qin Shi took the token and headed towards the eastern Xuan region, Ling Zhu's eyes also flickered with determination.
Mo Xingyu curiously asked, "Big sis Ling Zhu, why aren't we going with Qin Shi?"
Ling Zhu replied, "Qin Shi's trip to the middle Xuan region will definitely be fraught with danger. What he wants is the intermediate Xuan spirit. We all owe him this time, so let's pay him back in the middle Xuan region. If we enter the middle Xuan region first, we'll be able to help him find the location of the intermediate Xuan spirit. This can be considered a small favor to him."
Mo Xingyu was taken aback for a moment before he nodded in understanding.
Black Dragon's gaze involuntarily shifted towards the center of the Deep Sea Genesis reservoir, where the earth's crust had split open and propped up a small floating island. That was the middle Xuan region. His eyes began to blaze with excitement. Just as Ling Zhu had said, Qin Shi had offended Fuyang and the Three Purities group, and the true competition of the Deep Sea Genesis reservoir had only just begun. The middle Xuan region was where the true experts were as numerous as the clouds, and where the experts would face each other with equal harshness. It was a place where the sharpness of blades would meet the awns of wheat.
"This year's middle profound region will likely be the most spectacular and bitter one since the last few Deep Sea Genesis Pools. This time, it will no longer be a one-man show for those three monstrous geniuses, but a dark horse that no one could have expected will appear."
"Qin Shi... haha, this name is destined to resound throughout the 7,000 Sea Palace after the middle Xuan region."
In Black Dragon's eyes, he could already see Qin Shi's brilliance in the middle Xuan region.
Of course, Qin Shi had no idea what Ling Zhu and Black Dragon were thinking after he left. He traversed the mountains and valleys, heading east.
Swish!
Unexpectedly, before he had even left the north Xuan region, an icy sword light suddenly shot out from the forest. Qin Shi couldn't help but be taken aback. His body flashed slightly, dodging the sword light. Only then did he pause in the air and look down with a frown.
At this moment, dozens of disciples suddenly appeared from the forest. Very quickly, these disciples surrounded Qin Shi.
"Oh, it's that kid?
Haha, looks like we've caught a big fish. "Suddenly, a disciple seemed to recognize Qin Shi and exclaimed excitedly.
The leader of the group tilted his head and asked, "Little Yue, you know him?"
"Haha, Brother Shi Zhuang might not know, but this kid is the little disciple who entered Ling Zhu's team through the back door in the tomb. I heard he's an outer sea palace disciple."
"It's him?"
The man called Shi Zhuang started. He looked at Qin Shi strangely and laughed. "Haha, half a step into the World Realm?
With this level of strength, if he didn't enter through the back door, he wouldn't have the right to enter Ling Zhu's palace. Back then, that crazy woman Ling Zhu had extremely high requirements. Even I couldn't meet them. But this is just as well. Even if he entered through the back door, he must have gotten a lot of treasures by following behind Ling Zhu's team. "
Thinking till here, Shi Zhuang berated Qin Shi: "Brat, this path was booked by me, Shi Zhuang. Since you've walked here, you can only be considered a bit unlucky. Hand over all the valuables on you, and then give me all your spirit value, and I can let you live, if not …"
"Otherwise, what?"
Qin Shi did not give Shi Zhuang a chance to finish. His eyes suddenly turned cold.
