Qin Shi clicked his tongue and slapped his forehead in regret. "If I had known this would happen, I would have paid more attention to the Burning Sky Sect. It's too late to talk about this now."
The demon shook its head. "There's no need to rush. Spirit wander opportunities usually appear decades or even hundreds or even tens of thousands of years in advance. It's a resonance between the heaven and earth and your soul. Since you've sensed the abnormality of the Burning Sky Sect, you should be able to go back and investigate after we leave this place."
Qin Shi was stunned when he heard this. At this moment, he recalled what the Mortal Emperor said about the Fate Diagram Stone Plate within the Starshift Space. The fortune within the Fate Diagram Stone Plate only appeared ten thousand years later, and that fortune was Qin Shi himself. At this moment, he finally relaxed. Since it was like this, then he only had to return to the Mortal Dimension and head to the Skysplit Sect. It just so happened that he could return to see Shi Le, the little girl that inexplicably worshipped him.
Qin Shi paused and suddenly said, "This time in the Mortal Realm, I went to the Sword Sect."
"Sword Sect?" The demon's eyes turned cold and revealed a hint of ruthlessness.
"Don't react so much. Back then, Qi Qing and He Shuhan didn't really want to kill me." At this time, Qin Shi told the demon the whole story.
After hearing this, the demon frowned slightly. "That bullshit Fate again?
This time, you should have seen the Human Emperor's remnant soul in the blood pool, right?
Did he tell you what the Fate Grid was?
Or perhaps, he's the one controlling all of this? "
"In the beginning, I also thought that everything was controlled by him, but he told me that wasn't the case. As for the fate matrix, even he didn't know. It was just that when he was observing the sky at night, his mind wandered and he came across a stone plate. The stone plate recorded the evolution of the past ten thousand years, but as for where the stone plate was or what it was, even he didn't know."
"Even he doesn't know?"
Archdevil lowered his head in disappointment, but after a moment, he smiled. "That's normal. If he really was the one behind all of this, then he wouldn't have injured Zhe Tian and sealed me. That should make me feel better. So what are you going to do next?
Since the Sword Sect and the Blue Snow Sect had no choice, I believe that you won't hate them anymore. Even the Sword Sect is a bit lacking. He Shuhan can be considered your future master. "
"Indeed, but the Blazing Domain, Forbidden Domain, Wind Region, and Chaos Domain!
I definitely won't let the Four Great Domains go. They really wanted to kill me. Moreover, the Puppet Squad should have started to take action. Otherwise, Fufeng wouldn't have appeared in the Mortal World. Evil Devil, when you were in the Mortal World, did you notice the abnormality of the Winter Plain? "At this time, Qin Shi suddenly thought of something and asked.
"The Winter Plain?"
Archdevil paused, then shook his head. "I'm not sure, but there are indeed a few suspicious points in the Crimson Flame Empire that even I can't determine. Although I haven't been to the Winter Plain, I sensed something amiss in the Bejeweled Lava Volcano. Do you still remember the Explosive Flame Bead?"
"Yes, I remember. What about it?"
"The Explosive Flame Bead is a treasure of heaven and earth. It's rare to find one in tens of thousands of years, but it appeared in the Bejeweled Lava Volcano. And in that time vortex, there was the Human Emperor Demon Subduing Orb. I think that the three Forbidden Lands of the Crimson Flame Empire are very likely to be related. It's just that I'm not sure what the connection is."
Qin Shi nodded. He wasn't as meticulous as the Evil Devil, but this was indeed a good breakthrough point. Fortunately, he wasn't in a hurry. Yuan Bo hadn't revealed any side that was disadvantageous to the Crimson Flame Empire, so he couldn't determine which side Yuan Bo belonged to. However, he was sure that Yuan Bo wasn't an ordinary person. It was very likely that he was an expert who had survived the ancient war. He must know some secret.
"I hope he's not an enemy …"
Qin Shi heaved a long sigh. He had always felt a strong sense of pressure from Dai Yuanbo. If Yuan Bo really was a member of Group Bi, he couldn't imagine how badly Crimson Flame and the Hundred Tides Alliance would have suffered. After all, the Gateless Auction House had infiltrated every corner of the Hundred Tides Alliance.
"My young friend, it seems that you've completed your mission," the empress dowager said with a smile.
Qin Shi rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Haha, not only did I complete the Mandate of Heaven, but I was also helped by you bunch of old fellows."
"Haha!
Little fellow, you should be aware of Long Qi's feelings for you. As a grandfather, I naturally do not wish to see my own granddaughter unhappy. Although you are his junior, but a loss is a loss, and some promises must still be fulfilled. "
"Your bet has nothing to do with us!" Qin Shi said grumpily.
"Haha, it's fine, it's fine. Children have their own way. Since the rice is cooked, I won't ask any more questions. However, since you're carrying the mandate of heaven, there's something I'd like to ask of you." The empress dowager became a little more serious. "That's right.
"What is it?" Taken aback, Qin Shi realized that something important was about to happen.
After a moment's hesitation, the empress dowager suddenly turned around and shot Long Yin a look. Long Yin and the others dispersed, leaving only the empress dowager and Qin Shi in the clearing. The empress dowager's voice was burning with anger. She deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Young man, come with me."
Qin Shi and the empress dowager walked around the winding mountain range and entered a well-hidden cave. The cave went all the way down, as if it led to an underground abyss. After walking for a few kilometers, the cold wind grew stronger and they were surrounded by chaotic black light. The empress dowager suddenly stopped after a few forks in the road. Beside her, Qin Shi sensed that something was wrong. Qin Shi noticed that the empress dowager's posture had become unnatural after entering this place.
Just then, the empress dowager pointed. "It's here."
Qin Shi raised his eyes, only to see a bottomless black pond at the end of the cave. The pond was filled with an extremely viscous black liquid, and there seemed to be a huge skull at the center of the pond. Under the skull, there seemed to be ten thousand year old vines that frantically spread into the bottom of the pond. At the end of every vine was an extremely strange seal. Those seals were similar, yet different. This was because at the center of every seal, there was a seal that seemed to be sealed in a cocoon.
Seeing this, Qin Shi frowned. "Senior, this is …?"
"What you see is the Long family's curse. Back then, the Human Emperor knew that he couldn't defy fate and decided to place all his hopes on you. He deliberately chose this place and left the Long family to guard it. However, the news was leaked and the Bi team found out. Zhe Tian's soul was destroyed, but a few of his generals managed to find this place. Back then, I fought with the chief hall master for three days. In the end, the Bi team added the Heaven-Shrouding Murderous Qi to the Long family's bloodline and created this curse. The Long family will suffer from this curse for generations to come. We can't interfere in the affairs of the 7,000 Sea Palaces," the empress dowager said.
Qin Shi understood. "So this is the Long family's curse?
The Bi team created it? "
After that, Qin Shi seemed to have thought of something and said, "Senior, you hope that I can help you break this curse?"
The empress dowager nodded without hiding anything. "Yes. I've been waiting for this day for 10,000 years."
"But Senior, even someone as powerful as you can't break this curse. What can a junior like me do?" Qin Shi was stunned.
"It's not the same. It's very difficult for you to do it on your own, but this curse contains the Heaven-Shrouding Murderous Qi. Now that the Heaven Devouring Demon Lord is in your body, if you work together with him, I think you might stand a chance," the empress dowager said.
Qin Shi fell silent and asked in his heart, "Evil demon, is that so?"
"Indeed. However, I can only observe from the outside right now. I can't tell what the structure of the curse in the pool is. As for whether or not I can break it, I'll have to go in and see for myself," the evil demon said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Qin Shi hesitated for a moment before relaying the situation to the empress dowager. "Senior, I'll try my best, but I'm not completely confident."
"Of course. There are only 37 members of the Long family left now. Because of this curse, we don't have many juniors. Every poisonous vine curses one of us. As long as we can release the essence blood in these vines, our people will regain their freedom. That way, we won't have to suffer like we did in the 7,000 Sea Palace. I personally showed up when the Palace of Three Purities attacked you."
Qin Shi nodded his head. This was also what he valued. There was no doubt about the power of the Long Family. If he could break the curse and receive help, it would definitely be of great help to him in the next few years in the 7,000 Sea Palace. To him, this could be said to be a hundred advantages and no disadvantages.
"Senior, I'll begin now. I'll have to trouble you to protect this grotto for me," said Qin Shi.
"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one will be able to enter this grotto."
The empress dowager smiled and stroked her beard. She exuded a domineering aura that only those above the transcendent realm could exude.
Only then did Qin Shi feel reassured and nodded his head. Immediately, he turned around and looked at the deep pool. Inhaling a deep breath of air, he suddenly leaped forward and leaped into the air. When Qin Shi's body arrived in the air above the deep pool, a dense suction force was emitted from the deep pool. The black viscous liquid within the deep pool suddenly became wild and violent, as though it had been angered. It suddenly transformed into hundreds of water pillars that crisscrossed like dragons as they suddenly shot explosively towards Qin Shi.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Seeing this, Qin Shi's eyes turned cold. "Haha, how violent."
"Little fellow, be careful. The ominous aura here is extremely pure. Even my current ominous aura is inferior to it. In a while, I'll use the Devouring Heavens Void to protect you. We'll head down to the bottom of the pond to investigate. If anything happens, we'll leave immediately," said the evil spirit.
