142: Chapter 142 The Price

Chaos Qi permeated as the damaged boundary wall was continuously repaired.

Until it was completely restored.

"The boundary wall is repaired!!"

Many beings of the Immortal Ancient showed joy in their eyes!

The Eternal King's massive head hung over the Imperial City. With the boundary wall restored, it would be difficult for the Eternal Ones of the Foreign Realm to invade again in the short term... Without a doubt, this was a great victory for the Immortal Ancient!

Everything stemmed from Qin Tian!

It stemmed from this legendary youth in green robes!

The entire Imperial City, the entire Immortal Ancient, would never forget this name!

In the sky, Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now, the Eternal Ones shouldn't be able to come over..."

"The Immortal Ancient can gain a brief period of peace..."

"I also... ugh... pfft...!"

Suddenly, an extreme sense of weakness surged into his heart, and Qin Tian violently spat out bright red blood.

"Tian'er!!!"

Yun Xi, Xue Wener, Bai Xiyin, and others sped up, arriving at Qin Tian's side in an instant.

The beings of the Immortal Ancient were first stunned, but soon their eyes were filled with deep concern.

The Qin Family Ancient Ancestor flashed over, injecting spiritual power into Qin Tian's Dantian.

Then, his body shook.

Snow Princess was the same, her expression looking even worse than the Qin Family Ancient Ancestor's.

"Ancient Ancestor, how is... Tian'er...?" Xue Wener was somewhat anxious.

"Life force severed... Dantian shattered... Sea of Consciousness collapsed..."

"There is... no way to save him..."

Yun Xi, Xue Wener... everyone froze... "Senior Brother... how can this be?"

Bai Xiyin was suddenly a bit confused, "Senior Brother was clearly so powerful just now, how could..."

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!!!"

"Wuwuwu...!!"

"Senior Brother, tell me, they are lying to me, right?"

Bai Xiyin grabbed Qin Tian's hand and kept shaking it.

"Cough, cough..."

"Junior Sister, don't shake me..." Qin Tian spoke weakly.

"If you shake me more, I'll really die..."

Bai Xiyin quickly stopped, her hands tightly clutching Qin Tian's sleeve as she sobbed, "Senior Brother, you're fine, right?"

Qin Tian struggled to curl his lips into a smile, "Of course I'm fine."

"Tian'er!"

Xue Wener's eyes were full of worry.

"Mother, I told you, I won't die, I'll just disappear for a while..."

Xue Wener suddenly remembered what Qin Tian had said, and her tears could not be suppressed at all.

What disappear... what won't die... she was desperately willing to believe it was true.

But she knew this was most likely just Qin Tian's words to comfort her... Qin Tian looked up at Yun Xi.

"Revered Master..."

"The boundary wall is repaired. As long as the chaos aura doesn't dissipate, it's hard for the Eternal Ones to cross. The matter of the Imperial City has also come to an end..."

"Take me back to Divine Firmament Peak..."

Yun Xi's body trembled as she lightly caressed Qin Tian's cheek.

She thought she would be the one to go first... She never imagined Qin Tian would be like this... nor did she imagine Qin Tian had such a terrifying trump card... Yun Xi originally thought it would just be like last time, being weak for a period... but now, Qin Tian's life force had almost completely dissipated. Even an Longevity Being would likely be unable to save him... unless a miraculous being truly existed in this world... "Tian'er... Revered Master will take you back..."

Yun Xi cried with a trembling voice.

"Revered Master, don't cry, I really won't die..."

Yun Xi nodded slowly, "Mm, Revered Master knows."

Qin Tian sighed in his heart.

Before he could even say goodbye to everyone, his body slowly began to disintegrate... "Tian'er!!!!"

Chaotic shouts kept reaching his ears, but the voices grew weaker and lighter until they were completely inaudible.

Everything before his eyes fell into darkness.

Qin Tian's Physical Body, Divine Soul, and spiritual power... all dissipated, leaving only a withered dao seed behind.

"Senior Brother!!!"

Bai Xiyin cried out, a strange light flashing in her eyes. Faster than anyone else, she held that dao seed tightly in her arms... "Senior Brother, Diminutive won't let you die..."

On her body, purple patterns reappeared.

Her aura suddenly became stronger.

Carrying Qin Tian's dao seed, she fled into the distance... The Emperors sighed incessantly and followed along.

Snow Princess swept up Yun Xi and the others, also following behind Bai Xiyin... Within the withered dao seed, Qin Tian was completely unaware of all this.

At this moment, only a trace of his consciousness remained.

"System, how long will it take for me to recover?"

[Back to Host, one thousand years.]

"That long?"

"I'll have to be lonely for a thousand years..."

[Host, you still have this System to accompany you.]

"Heh, that's true. Tell me a joke."

[Host, this System doesn't know how to tell jokes.]

"Then I'll tell you one."

"Once upon a time, there was a state called Lu. A man was carrying a long bamboo pole into the city, but it wouldn't go in vertically, and it wouldn't go in horizontally. He was worrying about it.

An old man walked by and said: 'I'm no Saint, but I've seen a lot. Why don't you just saw it into two pieces and then go in?'

In the end, that man actually sawed the bamboo pole in half!

Don't you think that's funny?"

[Host, after the System's evaluation, both that man from Lu and the old man are idiots.]

Qin Tian was stunned.

"Why aren't you laughing?"

"Sigh, forget it, you don't know how to laugh..."

[Hahahahahahaha...]

A mechanical laughter rang in Qin Tian's ears.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"Who laughs like that?"

Qin Tian was a bit depressed.

To spend a thousand years like this!

Wouldn't he die of boredom?

"Sigh, forget it, I should just Cultivate."

"System, is there any Cultivation Technique I can practice now?"

[Ding! The Host's current state is most suitable for practicing the "Heaven and Earth Nirvana Sutra".]

["Heaven and Earth Nirvana Sutra": A scripture evolved from the Great Dao of the Immortal Ancient, containing Great Dao Divine Abilities. Price: 100,000 fate reversal points.]

"One hundred thousand?"

"System, why don't you just rob me!"

[Ding! Remaining fate reversal points: 100,850.]

Qin Tian was stunned, "Since when did I have so many?"

[Back to Host, this is all thanks to the son of destiny, Xuan Xiao.]

"Oh right, that perpetual motion machine."

[This System appropriately increased the frequency of fate reversal point extraction.]

[Host, would you like to exchange for the "Heaven and Earth Nirvana Sutra"?]

"Exchange."

Since he was idle anyway, he might as well Cultivate.

Profound scriptures continuously appeared in Qin Tian's remaining consciousness.

In just an instant.

Qin Tian was deeply drawn in.

That was a true profound scripture of the heaven and earth's evolution, destruction, and rebirth!

Unknowingly.

Within the withered dao seed, barely perceptible heaven and earth patterns emerged... Meanwhile.

Bai Xiyin, holding the dao seed, arrived at the place with the densest Spiritual Qi in the Imperial City.

Yun Xi, Xue Wener, and the group of Emperors all knew.

That was not Bai Xiyin.

But the heaven and earth sacred fetus.

They just didn't know what the heaven and earth sacred fetus intended to do.

"None of you come over!"

A purple barrier pushed everyone away.

Bai Xiyin spoke in grief, "My Senior Brother won't die... he won't die...!"

"As long as there's a sliver of hope... I will save him!"

Everyone was somewhat moved.

Yun Xi stepped forward slowly, passing through the purple barrier without any resistance.

Bai Xiyin slowly looked up.

"Revered Master... I will save Senior Brother..."

"Trust me..."

Yun Xi's eyes were red as she nodded gently:

"Revered Master trusts you..."

Bai Xiyin gave a bitter smile, "Please, Revered Master, for me to protect me..."

As she finished speaking.

Purple light shone, condensing into threads that wrapped around Bai Xiyin.

After dozens of breaths, Bai Xiyin and the withered dao seed in her arms were completely enveloped by the purple threads... forming a giant purple cocoon... at the same time, mysterious purple patterns appeared on it... and.

The aura belonging to the heaven and earth sacred fetus was continuously weakening...
