Qin Shi's beast-like roar reverberated through the Heavenly Fog Hall Mountain. His slightly angry eyes flickered with mockery and sorrow.
Qin Shi's words were like knives. Every word was very offensive. At this time, the temperature in the hall had dropped to freezing point.
Number One Sword in the World, Liu Mei, also frowned. She didn't say anything.
Many people in the hall couldn't help but lower their heads. Although they didn't want to admit it, Qin Shi's words weren't unreasonable.
If it wasn't for the Human Sovereign's sacrifice, Tianwu wouldn't have been able to rest in peace for thirty thousand years.
Moreover, the Qin family would definitely be the strongest and oldest in the world.
It was precisely because of the Human Sovereign's sacrifice that the Qin family declined. However, the Human Sovereign's sacrifice didn't seem to bring the so-called ten thousand years of peace to the Qin family.
After thirty thousand years, the Qin family, originally the strongest in the human world, gradually declined. In the end, they could only live in a palm-sized deserted town.
"Hehe, I feel that it wasn't worth it for my ancestor. Or, I should say that he was an idiot. If I were him, I definitely wouldn't harm my own family for you vermin."
Qin Shi wrapped the black robe tightly around him. "I'll say it again. This Skymist belongs to my Qin Clan. It can only be surnamed Qin. You can refuse to accept it. With my current strength, I'm no match for you all. However, none of you dare to kill me. That's because you all know that you only managed to reach where you are today because of my ancestor. If any one of you kills me, your tongues will fall on the other party. At that time, many immortal palaces in the world might step out and use the laughable reason of 'defending my ancestor against injustice' to kill that person."
"So you don't have to scare me," said Qin Shi.
Many people in the hall fell silent again. Qin Shi was right.
Although the Human Sovereign wasn't here, his majesty had always existed. Even many of the rulers of Tianwu were little guys taught by the Human Sovereign.
They might not really want to stand up for the Human Sovereign, but if there was a chance to seize Tianwu, and it was for a legitimate reason, they definitely wouldn't give up.
Elder Taiyuan suddenly laughed. "Hehe, a powerful kid. Not only is he eloquent, but he's also very smart."
Then, Elder Taiyuan suddenly looked at Gu Lie, Huo Du, and Han Tao. "You three, do you have anything else to say?"
The three of them looked at each other and suddenly revealed a bitter smile. "Haha, that's all."
"Little brat, you have guts. Hmph, there aren't many people that I've admired in my life. Back then, other than the Human Emperor, I even challenged the three great generals. Although I challenged them a hundred times, ninety-nine times I was beaten half to death, and only one time was a draw. But I just couldn't accept it. Now, I admire you. How interesting. A little ant dares to challenge so many tigers and lions.
Gu Lie suddenly gave Qin Shi a thumbs up.
Huo Du also snickered. "You still have the nerve to say it was a draw? If General Fufeng didn't think you were too annoying and deliberately went easy on you, would you be able to take three moves from the General?" "Kid, don't mind him.
You're right. The Human Sovereign is the benefactor of the world. He's our king. Don't worry, in the future, I'll protect you in Tianwu. No one will dare to bully you. If this old dog dares to talk nonsense, we'll join hands to beat him. If we can't beat him, you can call the Devouring Heaven Demon Venerable out and put him in the Devouring Heaven Void for thousands of years, "Huo Du said with a smile.
Hearing the two people's words, Qin Shi was stunned.
What was going on?
Weren't they laughing at him just now?
Now, why did they suddenly become so enthusiastic?
Could it be that it was because I spoke the truth?
Did they come to their senses?
Seeing Qin Shi's puzzled look, Tai Yuan stroked his beard and smiled. "Little boy, you underestimate us. The Human Sovereign has done us a great favor. As you said, we all owe him and the Qin family. We are not the demons of the Puppet Group. We can't be ungrateful."
"Then you …"
"In fact, from the very beginning, we wanted to test you. The Puppet Group is making a big move now. In the ancient war, Zhe Tian was unstoppable. There were still Human Sovereigns who could resist Zhe Tian. However, after thirty thousand years, no one could reach the level of Human Sovereign. Even General Fufeng couldn't reach the Ethereal Realm. That realm is too difficult."
"Now, the Human Realm needs a new force to fight against the Human Sovereign. Although you are the descendant of the king, this is related to the crisis of the world and the lives of all living beings. We can't blindly follow or gamble. Therefore, we chose to test you to see if you are really qualified." Tai Yuan smiled. "Don't blame them. In fact, they have always cared about you the most."
"Otherwise, do you think that the Puppet Group didn't do anything when you were in Desolate Town?" Tai Yuan smiled.
Qin Shi frowned. Indeed, when he was in Desolate Town, the Puppet Group had never attacked Desolate Town. All these years, Qin Shi had always been curious. At that time, he was weak, and any King Spiritual Realm warrior could kill him. However, the Qin family had never been attacked by the Puppet Group in Desolate Town.
"Is it …"
"Yes, when you were born, these two guys were guarding outside Desolate Town. In fact, when you were just born, they saw you. But it's also their fault. If they hadn't doted on you too much and left you with some power in your body, you wouldn't have been able to grow so fast, and you wouldn't have been targeted by the Bi team. You wouldn't have fallen from a genius."
"Tsk tsk, at that time, Master still hoped that I would marry you." Suddenly, a very coquettish voice rang out from a corner.
Hearing the voice, Qin Shi was stunned. Then he turned around and saw a very stunning and bold woman.
"It's you?"
The woman was not unfamiliar to Qin Shi. When Qin Shi first saw the Sky Mist Totem in the You Court, it was this woman.
"Yes, it was my master who sent me to the Lower World. Because I'm not a Sky Mist person, I was taken in by my master long ago, so I wasn't affected by the Skeleton Ancient Vines. I didn't expect to meet you here. Otherwise, my original mission was to destroy the You Court."
The woman smiled. "Master cares a lot about you."
"Hmph, stupid girl." Gu Lie snorted.
Only now did Qin Shi know that this woman was called Lin Yuyan, and she was Gu Lie's disciple.
"Does that mean I've passed the test?"
Qin Shi was speechless. He was so excited just now, but it seemed that everything was just an act.
However, after hearing Tai Yuan's words, Qin Shi still felt a little warm.
As long as he knew that he was not the only one fighting hard in this world.
"You have only gained our recognition. If you want to pass the real test, you still have a long way to go," Han Tao said lightly.
"What is the real test?"
"Defeat me," Han Tao said.
Han Tao said, "What you said just now is not wrong. Indeed, in terms of talent, you might even be above me. Everything I have was given to me by Tianwu, and you have cultivated yourself. However, talent cannot be used as a meal. The true competition is still strength. I don't care about others. I have never seen a Human Sovereign Heavenly Sovereign, nor do I know about the shackles of the older generation. However, if you want me, Han Tao, to submit to you, you have to win against me."
Qin Shi smiled bitterly when he heard Han Tao's words. You, a Reincarnation Realm expert, want to compete with me, a Transcendent Realm expert?
How many levels are there between us?
"You don't have to compete with me now. I can give you time. Ten years. I'll give you more time. In these ten years, you can use all the resources in Sky Mist as you wish. After ten years, if you can block three of my moves, you win," Han Tao said.
"Ten years?"
Hearing Han Tao's words, Qin Shi's eyes suddenly burned with fighting spirit.
It had been a long time since someone had provoked him like this.
"No need. In five years, I will block five of your moves. If I can't do that, you can be the master of Sky Mist," Qin Shi said with a smile.
Han Tao frowned slightly. "Boy, confidence is a good thing, but it is different from arrogance. When I stepped into Life and Death Realm from Transcendent Realm, it took me a thousand years. Do you want to reach Life Realm in five years?"
"Didn't you say that?
My talent is better than yours, "Qin Shi said with a smile.
Han Tao was stunned. Then, he suddenly laughed. "Okay, then I will wait for you for five years."
Seeing the bet between Qin Shi and Han Tao, Tai Yuan and the others looked at Qin Shi curiously.
In five years, he could block five of Han Tao's moves?
Was that possible?
Tai Yuan and the others were ancient relics in the world. They were existences who had broken the rules of this world. They had lived in this world for too long. As Tai Yuan said, because they had lived for too long, they had lost the concept of time. One or two years passed in the blink of an eye.
They had watched Han Tao grow step by step, so they knew his strength very well. If they wanted to block Han Tao for five years, they had to at least reach Life Realm and control the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Only then would they have a chance.
But was it really possible to break through from Transcendent Realm to Life and Death Realm in five years?
Tai Yuan smiled with great interest. "Haha, I'm really looking forward to it now."
"Boy, in the next five years, you can use the resources in Sky Mist as you wish. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time," Tai Yuan said.
Qin Shi nodded. He could not stay in Sky Mist for too long. The situation in the human world was not stable yet, so he needed to go back and take charge of the overall situation.
In addition, he could not delay the matter in the Beast Realm.
He did not know why, but he had been a little uneasy recently. He had a feeling that something might happen in the Beast Realm.
"Chi Xiao, you take this boy back first. Boy, you can come to me tomorrow when you are free," Tai Yuan said with a smile while stroking his beard.
Chi Xiao nodded his head and smiled at Qin Shi. "Kid, let's go. I'll show you your cave abode."
Qin Shi didn't know that Heavenly Mist had prepared a brand new cave for him long before he returned to Heavenly Mist.
Qin Shi nodded and cupped his hands respectfully to Tai Yuan and the others. "Then, I will leave first."
