Seeing the Desolation Magatama fall silent, Shang Qing said indifferently, "Moreover, don't underestimate this little kid. I think it won't be long before he becomes the most resplendent and dazzling star in the Wasteland Continent."
"He has the Sky Devourer and can change his fate. I think the safety of the entire Wasteland Continent will depend on him when the Puppet Group raises a bloody storm on the Wasteland Continent once again."
Listening to Shang Qing's words, which seemed calm but were full of emotions, Qin Shi and Yakushi couldn't help but be stunned.
To be honest, Qin Shi had never thought that Shang Qing would give him such a high evaluation. He had never thought of himself as a saint, nor had he ever thought of protecting the Wasteland Continent or saving the common people. Those were too heavy a burden.
What he wanted to do was very simple. He just wanted to protect the few people he cared about. The so-called stability of the world, right and wrong, in his world, didn't seem that important.
"Little Fellow, believe in yourself. You're the one and only variable that might be able to turn the situation around in the calamity that's bound to come."
Shang Qing knew what Qin Shi was thinking. He smiled faintly. His wrinkled face looked a little bit like he was begging, "I only hope that at that time, you can save the Chaos Territory. Don't let the efforts of hundreds of generations of our ancestors go to waste."
Qin Shi hesitated. To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of the Chaos Territory, especially after what happened with Kong Hyun-hui. Not to mention a good impression, he hated the Chaos Territory to the core.
"I know you are prejudiced against the Chaotic Lands. I do not ask you to forgive the Chaotic Lands. I just hope that when the Chaotic Lands are in danger, you will not let the millions of disciples of the Chaotic Lands die here. After all, there are your friends here, and there are people you want to protect, right?" Shang Qing said again.
Qin Shi frowned. Shang Qing was right. Although he hated the Chaos Territory, he only hated Chu Deyu, Xing Moyuan, and the others. In the Chaos Territory, there were also people he cared about, such as the people of the Mist Alliance, Fu Jun, You Qing, Ning Yu, Ling Yun, and Mu Hui.
He had to protect these people, and he would not allow anything to happen to them.
He nodded after some deliberation. "Alright, but I can't guarantee anything. I can only say that I'll do my best."
"You're not willing to give me a promise?
Forget it, how could a person like you who cares so much about promises easily? With these words of yours, I am satisfied. "
Shang Qing bitterly stroked his beard. Then, he suddenly waved his hand, and pure Spiritual Energy began to circulate around him. As soon as the Spiritual Energy appeared, the Spiritual Energy dispersed the fiendish souls in the Spiritual Void Cave and slowly enveloped Qin Shi. "I won't ask you to help me for free. Now, I will pass the Spiritual Energy in my remnant soul to you. Consider it your compensation and reward in place of the Chaotic Territory. I hope this power can help you!"
"Shang Qing, what are you doing?" Yakushi shouted in a low voice, "If you do this, you will die. No, I don't agree!"
Shang Qing calmly smiled. "Ba Huang, I'm already a dead man. If a strand of Spiritual Energy can trade for the safety of millions of my disciples, why not?"
Then, he took a deep breath. A layer of pure Spiritual Energy expanded from his palm. It was like a gate leading to a holy place. Bit by bit, it seeped into Qin Shi's skin.
Qin Shi was a little surprised. When he came back to his senses, a huge wave of power had already entered his blood vessels. His dim Spiritual Veins suddenly flashed with a few beams of starlight.
These few beams of starlight were like the Big Dipper. They were connected by a faint light. However, they didn't form a soup ladle. Instead, they formed a very mysterious Star Map Formation.
"Little guy, I hope that when the Chaotic Lands are in danger, for the sake of my remnant soul, you won't forget what you've told me."
Shang Qing's palm exerted strength once again, and a huge spiritual vortex wrapped around Qin Shi's waist. In an instant, Qin Shi's tiger body trembled slightly, and the starlight on the Star Atlas Array Formation connected to his Dantian was like a high-pressure water pump, and immediately produced a strong force that surged into Qin Shi's blood vessels.
That feeling was like the opening of a dam. The sixth spirit vein suddenly flashed with a faint light. Originally, the spirit force inside was like a small stream, but under this wild impact, it was immediately filled. Then, it was hit by a turbulent wave. The sixth spirit vein violently trembled a few times, and a symmetrical rune immediately appeared on the spirit crystal.
In the middle of this talisman was a lightning bolt. Qin Shi checked his body and couldn't help but be shocked. "Is this the Thunder Kalpa Seal?"
"What a dense Spiritual Energy!"
Obviously, he didn't expect that the Thunder Kalpa Seal would appear at this moment. Shang Qing's power was indeed extraordinary. It should be known that his sixth Spiritual Vein was barely at the early stage. He didn't expect that Shang Qing's remnant soul could fill it up.
But immediately, his face changed. He looked a little serious. It wasn't a good time to break through. Not to mention that he was in a dangerous situation, the state of his body was very troublesome.
Don't forget, his fifth Spiritual Vein was still sealed by the Thunder Sealing Lock. He still hadn't had a chance to break through. If he didn't break through the fifth Thunder Kalpa Seal first, he wouldn't be able to break through the sixth.
"This time, it's too big."
Qin Shi clicked his tongue. Then, he didn't care about his surroundings. He hurriedly sat down cross-legged in this blue space. He waved his hand and a black box appeared in his hand.
That black box was none other than one of the three Thunder Sealing Locks.
"Looks like this time, I have to seal the sixth Spiritual Vein first. I wonder if this kind of seal will cause trouble."
Qin Shi felt helpless. He didn't know if he should be happy or worried. Everyone was looking forward to him breaking through. Now, breaking through had become a problem.
"I hope I can succeed."
The Thunder Kalpa Seal became denser and denser under the attack of the Starlight Matrix. It was about to take shape and move up, gathering between Qin Shi's eyebrows.
Because of this, he didn't dare to delay. If he really drew out the Thunder Kalpa Seal, it would be really troublesome.
Subconsciously, he squeezed the Thunder Sealing Lock and wrapped it with his hidden Spiritual Energy. It turned into a light green ball of light and he swallowed it.
The Thunder Sealing Lock gathered in his Dan Tian. Qin Shi immediately felt his entire body warm up. That feeling wasn't good. It was as if he had a stove in his stomach.
However, he knew that he couldn't be careless. This was the most crucial moment. He quickly turned his hand over from his chest, and the spiritual energy in his dantian slightly revolved. It formed a slender little hand and grabbed the Thunder Sealing Lock.
"Open!"
Qin Shi yelled. His Yuan spirit's small hand exerted force. A small crack immediately appeared in the middle of the Thunder Sealing Lock. Once that crack appeared, a furious suction force was generated. That suction force was definitely horrifying. Even though Qin Shi had experienced it once, he was still surprised.
"What a magical treasure!"
He praised the Thunder Sealing Lock. At that moment, the Thunder Kalpa Seal was already approaching Qin Shi's chest. Qin Shi immediately became serious. He knew that if he didn't make his move now, it would be too late.
Immediately, he separated his two hands. With the experience from last time, he was obviously more familiar with it this time. Just when the Spirit Pulse was about to connect with the Thunder Kalpa Seal, he suddenly moved the Thunder Sealing Lock up. The crack in the middle was facing the sixth Spirit Pulse.
"Seal!"
Qin Shi exerted force. The power of the Lightning Sealing Lock was too strong. In addition, the spiritual energy stored in the sixth spiritual meridian was far more than the fifth. An extremely powerful force burst out from under his black robes. The veins on his arms popped up like poisonous snakes. The area between his thumb and forefinger was directly torn apart.
"Close it for me!"
With a curse, Qin Shi bent his waist down.
Boom!
This time, a crisp sound came from his Dantian. The violent Spiritual Energy in Qin Shi's body calmed down. The Thunder Sealing Lock was like a black pool. It quickly sealed the originally full sixth Spirit Pulse and became dim.
"Did I succeed?" Qin Shi took a few deep breaths. He couldn't help but reveal a happy expression. This time, he really took a risk.
But fortunately, the result was not bad.
"Buzz!"
Just when the sixth Spirit Pulse was sealed, Qin Shi suddenly frowned. He saw the Star Map Array constructed by the remnant soul of Shang Qing flashing again. Because the sixth Spirit Pulse was sealed, the seventh Spirit Pulse that had been coiled below was raised high. After being affected by the Star Map Array, a faint light flashed from above.
"This power, is it the Spiritual Aura of Six Days?"
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment. The joy on his face was immediately overflowing. He didn't expect that after the Star Map Array filled up his sixth Spirit Pulse, there would still be so much Spiritual Energy left.
In just a moment, he felt that the Spiritual Energy in his seventh Spirit Pulse had reached 50%.
In this way, although Qin Shi's real cultivation level was only at the Four Heavens Realm, he could look down on a Six Heavens Realm Cultivator. Coupled with his extraordinary means, he thought that even if he met an Eight Heavens Realm Cultivator like Sikong Lingnan, he could still win.
"This is really double happiness."
He thought to himself. Shang Qing and the Octoterra Magatama were also slightly shocked when they saw his actions, especially the Octoterra Magatama. There was no longer any contempt in his eyes when he looked at Qin Shi.
"Little guy, it seems that you succeeded." Shang Qing laughed loudly.
Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders. "It's all thanks to Senior's help."
"Hehe, it's good that you remember me."
Shang Qing smiled palely in the blue light. The fierce Spiritual Energy vortex in front of him had dissipated slightly. The floating blue light fell, and the remnant soul also became weak. Bit by bit, it became translucent, as if it could disappear from the world.
"The safety of this world depends entirely on you."
"Remember what you said to me."
Shang Qing's voice became weaker and weaker. In the last sentence, he said to Yakushi, "Ba Huang, leave with him."
Shang Qing disappeared from the world just like that. Qin Shi clenched his fists dejectedly, but he knew that there was nothing he could do. Birth, old age, illness, and death were predetermined in the world. Shang Qing's lifespan had long run out.
