155: Arriving at the sacred cliff, a confluence of events unfolds.
The Sacred Cliff is less of a cliff and more of a continent that was forcibly ripped away from the earth of the Cang Realm by supreme power.
Its entire body presents a dark gold color that has weathered the ages; this is not the natural color of the rock, but rather the result of being soaked by the dao rhyme and sacred blood left behind by generations of intruders over countless years.
The cliff body is not intact; it is covered in bottomless cracks and massive craters, as if it had once endured the impact of falling stars.
What is most shocking are the stone steles standing upright all over the cliff walls.
These steles vary in size and material.
Some are as smooth as jade, inscribed with Dao runes, while others are as rough as whetstones, marked only by scratches of varying depths.
Each stele is vaguely connected to the Aura of the Sacred Cliff itself, as if they were originally part of the Sacred Cliff.
That is the place of the Legacy!
The ancestor of every Noble Families left behind sacred techniques on these steles; the more powerful the sacred technique one comprehends, the more tokens they receive.
At this moment, figures are everywhere on the Sacred Cliff.
Prodigy from the Imperial Capital and various Noble Families are sitting cross-legged alone in front of certain steles, their brows furrowed.
They are attempting to communicate with the residual will within, trying to capture that fleeting flash of inspiration to comprehend the sacred techniques left by the sages.
" Swish! "
Two figures, one after the other, suddenly appeared on the reception platform at the edge of the Sacred Cliff, which had been naturally condensed by the power of space.
The person in the lead had a tall and straight posture, wearing a simple black robe, with handsome features, but the most eye-catching thing was the pair of eyes that were calmly scanning the surroundings.
Chaos Qi faintly appeared in his eyes, and the Double-Pupiled One had overlapping shadows, deep as the beginning of the universe, evolving the phenomenon of heaven and earth being created.
" Is that... Qin Wushang?! "
Someone exclaimed in a low voice, unable to believe it.
In an instant, everywhere on the Sacred Cliff, whether they were concentrating on comprehension or observing in secret, almost all eyes converged in unison.
" It really is him! That Double-Pupiled One! How dare he come to the Sacred Cliff all by himself? "
" Why wouldn't he dare? Even Murong Tianzong was defeated and died at his hands, and the assassination by the Hall of Yama did not succeed... "
" I heard that he ultimately unleashed some kind of terrifying Demonic Technique, killing several powerful Heavenly God! "
" Demonic Technique? Hiss... No wonder I felt his Aura was a bit... wait, that's not right. This is the Aura of the most Yang and most Sacred; I don't sense any Demonic Technique cultivation... "
" Who knows? Perhaps it's some kind of innate forbidden technique; this child cannot be judged by conventional logic. "
" Looking at him, he doesn't seem to be in any trouble? That rumor about Her Majesty the Empress taking action... "
" Silence! Are the affairs of the Emperor something we can speculate about? However, him coming here is likely going to stir up a storm of blood; Murong Tiansha has been waiting for him! "
" Murong Tiansha is a Half-step God King, even better than Tianzong, and he is ruthless, specializing in the killing thunder technique... Now we have a good show to watch. "
" Stay far away, stay far away; we cannot even withstand the aftermath of a Prodigy duel of this level. "
Among the discussions, there was wariness, curiosity, fear, and also the excitement of those who fear no Chaos.
The fierce reputation of Qin Wushang has already spread among the younger generation!
Qin Wushang seemed not to hear the surrounding gazes and discussions, stepped forward, and entered the main area of the Sacred Cliff.
Wherever he passed, the crowd seemed to be separated by an invisible force, automatically clearing a path.
The nearby disciples of the Noble Families all had tense expressions, subconsciously restraining their Aura and quietly stepping back a few paces.
Qin Wushang walked to a relatively open area where the steles were sparse and stopped.
His gaze swept over a few steles in the distance that had an exceptionally ancient and grand Aura, and finally, it landed on the other side of the Sacred Cliff.
There, in front of a huge stele that was purple-black all over and surrounded by dense thunder patterns.
There, about thirty people were gathered, wearing uniform clothing, their Auras connected, and in the middle, a young man in a purple robe was comprehending the stele.
People of the Murong Family.
The corner of Qin Wushang's mouth curled into an imperceptible arc, and he suddenly spoke loudly.
" I heard that the people of the Murong Family are offering a reward for information about Qin Wushang? "
He paused, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally glancing towards the direction of the purple-robed young man.
" What a coincidence, I have the latest news about Qin Wushang, guaranteed to be true. Does anyone want to buy it? The price is negotiable. "
When his voice fell, the Sacred Cliff fell into dead silence.
Everyone's expressions froze instantly, as if they had heard some Arabian Nights tale.
" He... isn't he Qin Wushang himself? "
" What is the situation? He has news about himself? What kind of play is this? "
" What exactly is this guy trying to do? Making fun of the Murong Family? "
" My God, he wouldn't be thinking of... selling himself to the Murong Family, would he? What kind of outrageous operation is this? "
" He is really going to clash with the Murong Family! "
" The Murong Family is not weak, it is said that their Prodigy went out of the Desolate Heaven Domain and is doing quite well in the outside world! "
Everyone looked at each other, completely confused, only feeling that the way this Qin Wushang acted was indeed as unconventional and difficult to fathom as the rumors said.
Even Lin Ziyao, who was following closely by Qin Wushang's side, couldn't help but chuckle.
Then she leaned close to his ear and said with a mischievous smile: " Brother Wushang, it seems the Murong Family doesn't intend to buy you, oh. How about... I buy you? "
" Name your price; I will keep you in the future! I guarantee to raise you to be plump and healthy! "
Qin Wushang remained expressionless, not even bothering to give her a glance, his eyes still locked on the purple-robed young man.
After a good while, the purple-robed young man finally stopped.
He did not turn around immediately, but the Aura around his body, which was originally as steady as an abyss, suddenly became sharp.
" Boom! "
The surrounding space twisted, and the sound of thunder emerged.
Murong Tiansha turned around slowly, his eyes locking onto Qin Wushang immediately, and he gritted his teeth and said: " Qin! Wu! Shang! "
" You have finally appeared! "
Facing his gaze that was almost spitting thunder and fire, Qin Wushang was calm and composed, even taking two steps forward.
" That's right, I have appeared. So, do you still want the news? I heard the reward is ten tokens, plus one reasonable request? "
He tilted his head, acting as if in thought: " You can give me the tokens now. As for that reasonable request... "
" I haven't thought of it yet; I will bring it up when I think of it. What do you think? "
Murong Tiansha's chest heaved slightly; he was clearly incited to even greater fury by Qin Wushang's cavalier attitude.
But he actually did not act immediately; instead, he flipped his right hand, and ten tokens emitting a faint cyan light floated above his palm.
" The tokens, I can give them to you. "
" But you must leave your life behind! "
As the words were spat out, the terrifying Aura of a Half-step God King was no longer held back and erupted violently!
Facing this monstrous Aura, Qin Wushang smiled, his tone still flat: " That depends on your ability. "
" Oh, by the way! Your sister is very moist! It felt amazing! "
Once these words were spoken, thunder exploded around Murong Tiansha, forming a dazzling sea of thunder.
The few Murong Family disciples behind him had ugly expressions and hurriedly spoke up immediately.
" Young Master! This person is strange; even Young Master Tianzong... he cannot be underestimated! "
" His actions just now must have a trick! The Opportunity of the Sacred Cliff is important; should we... avoid his edge for now and discuss it later? "
" Avoid his edge? "
Murong Tiansha turned his head violently, his thunder-shooting eyes staring fixedly at the young man, his voice suddenly rising.
" As fellow Prodigy, I, Murong Tiansha, am in the Half-step God King Realm and have cultivated the ancestral technique Galloping Thunder Sacred Hand! You want me to avoid the edge of a Divine Fire Realm cultivator like him? "
" So what if he is a Double-Pupiled One? He is ultimately just Divine Fire Realm! "
He raised his head violently, facing Qin Wushang again, and the thunder around his body instantly expanded several times.
" Today, I will use your Double-Pupiled eyes and sacred blood to sacrifice to my path of becoming a King! Qin Wushang, die! "
