158: Chapter 158 Purple Cloud Source Crystal, Coveted by the Ancient Realm

"This... this is just too ridiculous, isn't it...?"

Mei Nianjiao was dumbfounded, her red clothes fluttering, her eyes wide like copper bells.

Detonating Emperor Weapons!

Is this something a person in the Reflection Realm can do?

And also.

Where did he get so many Emperor Weapons?

Is the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect that wealthy?

She didn't believe it!

She wouldn't believe it even if she were beaten to death!

Ziqi Immortal Mansion was also one of the Six Great Immortal Sects, yet the Emperor Weapons in the mansion could be counted on one hand!

Furthermore, they were all enshrined in the secret treasure vault!

Usually, using one required several rounds of applications...

And he dared to use them for self-destruction?

The Old Ancestor of Ziqi Immortal Mansion would definitely chase you down and hack you into pieces!

Sheltered by immortal light, Mei Nianjiao was not impacted by the aftershocks of the explosion.

Looking at that figure suspended in mid-air.

For the first time, she felt a heartfelt exclamation—

Being rich is truly wonderful!

Even against someone an entire major Realm higher, one could just blast them to death with endless Emperor Weapons...

However.

Mei Nianjiao did not know.

If it were an ordinary Reflecting Nine Heavens cultivator, just controlling these few Emperor Weapons would have sucked them dry already...!!

The residual power of the Emperor Weapons dissipated.

The Golden Jade Ruler's light was dim, and it was covered in cracks.

The blond old man's body was a bloody mess, his aura withered; he no longer looked human!

But he still had one breath left.

Qin Tian's brow furrowed.

After such a terrifying strike, the blond old man actually wasn't dead yet...

"The Laws of the Ancient Realm of Longevity are complete and its Legacies are powerful; his life-saving methods are likely not few."

"Cough, cough... You... you actually..." The blond old man's voice was intermittent, his eyes filled with horror, having no combat power left.

Qin Tian spoke indifferently, "I have noted the grudge of the Chiyang Holy Land."

"Everyone in your Sect, top to bottom, will soon go down to accompany you!"

The blond old man's pupils shook violently, looking at Qin Tian in disbelief.

Did he... intend to exterminate the entire Chiyang Holy Land?

"You... cannot... ugh...!"

Before the blond old man could finish, he let out a whimper as his head fell and his Sea of Consciousness collapsed...

Mei Nianjiao and the two Heavenly Monarchs were all frozen in place.

That was a Heavenly Monarch!

Wielding an Emperor Weapon!

An existence nearly invincible below the Emperor level!

And he was slain by Qin Tian just like that?

But Qin Tian is only at the ninth level of the Reflection Realm!

The three of them were speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Qin Tian's spiritual energy surged, shaking off the bloodstains. A smile returned to his face as he turned back to look at Han Qing.

"Third Junior Sister, long time no see. Are you alright?"

Han Qing's eyes reddened, and she threw herself directly into Qin Tian's arms.

"Senior Brother."

"I missed you."

A few simple words, yet they contained endless longing.

Qin Tian patted Han Qing and said softly, "Senior Brother missed you too."

"Cough, cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!!"

The two Heavenly Monarchs of the Ancient Moon Clan kept coughing, though it was unclear if it was intentional or accidental...

"Thank you, two Seniors, for protecting my Third Junior Sister's safety." Qin Tian led Han Qing before the two Heavenly Monarchs and bowed in thanks.

The two Heavenly Monarchs shook their heads:

"Qing'er is a Junior of our clan. Even if we had to sacrifice our lives, we would ensure her safety."

"During the internal strife of the Ancient Moon Clan years ago, Qing'er was lost outside. If Divine Firmament Peak hadn't taken her in, she might have died long ago."

"Please accept our bow..."

Qin Tian was stunned.

Are these two Heavenly Monarchs of the Ancient Moon Clan being a bit too polite?

Could it be that they were frightened?

After some conversation, Qin Tian learned that the man was named Gu Yue Guang Xu and the woman was named Gu Yue Hu Rong; both were considered Han Qing's clan ancestors.

Mei Nianjiao stood to the side, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Qin Tian smiled, "Fellow Daoist Mei, why are you being so restrained?"

"I... I'm fine..."

Han Qing looked at Mei Nianjiao, her eyes full of confusion.

She seemed to be that wine-loving woman from the time of the Great Qian Dynasty...

Why was she following her Senior Brother?

As her gaze swept over those sexy red lips and voluptuous body, Han Qing gradually became wary...

This woman is very dangerous!

I can't let her stay by Senior Brother's side for long!

Qin Tian didn't know Han Qing's thoughts. With a flip of his palm, Jin Yuan's remnant Soul was condensed.

"Third Elder! Save me!!"

A miserable wail rang out.

"Stop shouting. Your Third Elder has already vanished into smoke."

“Hiss—!!”

The remnant Soul phantom in Qin Tian's palm couldn't stop trembling.

"You... you killed the Third Elder?"

"How... how is this... possible..."

Jin Yuan's face was filled with terror, his Soul shivering uncontrollably.

Qin Tian said coldly, "Tell me your purpose for coming to the Immortal Ancient."

"You have three breaths of time to consider what to say, otherwise, you die!"

In less than one breath, Jin Yuan said in terror, "I'll talk, I'll talk!"

"The Heavenly Dao Ethereal Palace of the Ancient Realm of Longevity issued a heavenly prophecy that the Ziwei star would manifest in the Immortal Ancient."

"The Holy Land's Old Ancestor personally deduced based on the prophecy and discovered that the zixiao source crystal would appear in the Immortal Ancient. As the Saint, I came with the Third Elder to the Immortal Ancient to find that zixiao source crystal..."

Qin Tian sighed in his heart.

As expected of a son of destiny's Opportunity; even people from the Ancient Realm of Longevity covet it.

"How did you cross over between Realms?"

"We... we took the Yin and Yang Ancient Path. An Ancient Ancestor expended great Divine Abilities to briefly open it, allowing Heavenly Monarchs to pass, and then sent the two of us over."

"Besides your Chiyang Holy Land, who else has come?"

"The zixiao source crystal is extremely rare even in the Ancient Realm of Longevity. All the major Holy Lands and ancient Sects should have sent people over."

"Then how do you return to the Ancient Realm of Longevity?"

Jin Yuan said tremblingly, "Using a Guidance Immortal Talisman. Once the Old Ancestor senses it, he will guide us back from the Ancient Realm of Longevity..."

"Where is the talisman?"

"It's... it's with the Third Elder..."

Qin Tian frowned.

The blond old man's storage ring had already been destroyed by the explosion, and most of the things inside were gone.

"If I had known, I would have looted it first..." Qin Tian murmured.

"I've told you everything I know... can you let me go now...?" Jin Yuan asked tentatively.

"Of course."

Jin Yuan's face lit up with joy.

"However, I must first confirm that you are telling the truth and haven't lied to me."

Jin Yuan was stunned, his smile coming to an abrupt halt.

The next moment.

Flames ignited in Qin Tian's hand.

"Ah—!! No—!! You can't—!! Ah—!!!"

Shrill screams echoed through the world.

Qin Tian searched his Divine Soul, verifying each point with what Jin Yuan had said.

As for letting him go?

How could that be possible?

A fellow who harbored ill intentions toward his Junior Sister, and he still wanted to live?

Purely a pipe dream!

The flames burned out.

Jin Yuan's Divine Soul also completely dissipated, leaving no trace of life...

Worry flickered in Gu Yue Hu Rong's eyes, "The forces of the Ancient Realm of Longevity are unfathomable. The Immortal Ancient is weak and simply cannot contend with them."

"Now that those secret Ancient Roads are open, those 'shadows' they left in the Immortal Ancient will likely start to move as well."

"Shadows?" Qin Tian was somewhat surprised.

Gu Yue Hu Rong sighed, "I don't know the specific details, but the Ancient Ancestor once said that when the Immortal Ancient was prosperous in the past, there was much interaction with the Ancient Realm of Longevity."

"Many forces of the Ancient Realm of Longevity once left Legacies and hidden agents in the Immortal Ancient."

"The Ancient Moon Clan originates from the Shenji Domain. The Ancient Ancestor once deduced from ancient Legacy records that the Legacy of the Burial Sword Valley, one of the Six Great Immortal Sects at the time, very likely came from the Ancient Realm of Longevity!"

Qin Tian was shaken.

"Burial Sword Valley might be related to the Ancient Realm of Longevity?"

Then...

With a thought, the destiny mission surfaced.

Qin Tian's brow furrowed in thought.

The Burial Sword Celestial Maiden!

Could this thing also come from the Ancient Realm of Longevity?
