285: Chapter 285 Undersea Cave Heaven, Purgatory Ruins

The edge of the Dead Sea.

On the dragon-shaped flying boat, the Hongmeng Mysterious Realm floated.

One figure after another descended from it.

Snow Princess looked at the people of the Qin Clan, her eyes showing surprise.

Qin Tian did not explain too much.

He believed that since Qin Xi could lead the Qin Clan, she could naturally build good relationships with the others.

Bai Xiyin, being naturally sociable, grabbed Han Qing and rushed over.

Upon learning that Qin Xi was Qin Tian's sworn sister, she immediately brought out many gifts for her.

Her little scheme was clear to anyone who looked.

Despite being roughly the same age as Qin Xi, she put on the air of a little sister-in-law.

Qin Tian smiled and turned his gaze toward Snow Princess.

“Ancient Ancestor, I need to go down one more time.”

Snow Princess paused slightly. “Shall I go with you?”

“The Death Qi in this Dead Sea isn't too dangerous for me. The Qin Clan Disciples have just emerged and are sensitive to everything; please help me look after them, Ancient Ancestor.”

“Very well. Although they have endured hardships, those trials have also tempered their bodies and wills. Several of them have excellent talent; their future achievements will be limitless.”

“Especially that sister of yours; she might be able to attain the Dao as a Longevity Being...”

Qin Tian looked at Qin Xi and nodded slowly. “Her talent is indeed good. Uh... that... Ancient Ancestor, why don't you teach her?”

“Do you want me to take her as a Disciple?”

“Being able to take an Ancient Ancestor like you—with peerless talent, supreme cultivation, devastating beauty, and total devotion to your Disciples—as a Revered Master would be the greatest blessing of her life...”

“Smooth talker!”

Snow Princess gave a light snort and turned around, but the corners of her lips curled into a charming arc.

“Qin Xi, come with me...”

The faint voice rang out, startling Qin Xi, who instinctively looked at Qin Tian.

“Go on,” Qin Tian said softly.

Only then did Qin Xi follow Snow Princess.

“You’re quite good to this newly sworn sister of yours!” Ling Su drifted to his side.

“A Body Cultivator who doesn't even have a dao seed taking a Longevity Being as a Revered Master—no one would believe it if word got out!”

“Ling Su, you've come at the right time. Quickly help me calculate the future of the Qin Clan.”

“I already did!”

“Great fortune!”

“Luck will flourish for ten thousand generations without decline!”

“That’s good then.” Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

The corners of Ling Su's lips lifted slightly. “You trust me that much?”

“Haven't you heard that the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying?”

“Aren't you afraid I'm lying to you?”

“I'm not afraid,” Qin Tian laughed. “Because no matter who else Fairy Ling Su lies to, she wouldn't lie to me.”

Ling Su gave a light snort:

“You certainly are narcissistic!”

“Alright, back to business. I'm going down into the Dead Sea with you.”

Qin Tian: ?

“Why?”

Ling Su's expression turned slightly solemn as she sent a voice transmission:

[Not long ago, right after you went down, my innate dao plate suddenly reacted. I suspect there is a innate chaotic spiritual treasure here!]

!!!

[Could it be that I drew Death Qi into my body and the commotion disturbed that Spirit Treasure?]

Ling Su: ...

“Do you dare to be any more reckless?!”

“Drawing Death Qi into your body—do you want to die?!”

Qin Tian smiled. “Well, nothing happened...”

Ling Su curled her lip. “You can succeed ten thousand times, but if you fail just once, you're beyond redemption. Don't you understand such a simple truth?”

I won't; even if I fail, I have the System to back me up...

Qin Tian muttered silently in his heart.

“Yes, yes, yes. Thank you for your concern, Fairy Ling Su!”

“Who... who's concerned about you... Hmph...”

To the side, Bai Xiyin gazed at Ling Su with a meaningful look, then nudged Han Qing with her elbow.

Han Qing: ?

“Gentle.”

“Senior Sister, look! Haven't you noticed the relationship between Senior Brother and Ling Su is unusual?”

“No.”

“You're so dense!”

“Although Ling Su looks ordinary, do you know? Once, I saw her changing. That delicate skin and proud figure—she's definitely the most perfect woman I've ever seen!”

“Do you think it's possible she transformed into this ordinary appearance because she's too beautiful and afraid of causing a commotion?”

Thwack!

“Ouch! What did you hit my head for?”

“Cultivate.”

Bai Xiyin didn't care. “What's there to Cultivate! I can easily unleash Emperor Realm power. I'm invincible below the Longevity stage; even you can't beat me, Senior Sister!”

Thwack!

“Ouch!”

Bai Xiyin cried out in pain and was dragged into the flying boat by Han Qing.

Ling Su quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Bai Xiyin was so loud, everyone probably heard her!”

Qin Tian couldn't help but smile. “Don't worry, my Junior Sister is just joking; no one will take it seriously.”

“But, how did my Junior Sister see you changing clothes?”

Ling Su: !!

Her nearly perfect eyes glared fiercely at Qin Tian.

“Not telling you!”

“Going down!”

As her voice fell, Ling Su jumped into the Dead Sea.

“Wait!”

Qin Tian's expression changed slightly.

He could withstand the Death Qi in the Dead Sea, but that didn't mean Ling Su could...!

His figure flashed.

Qin Tian plunged into the Dead Sea.

However, the scene before him was far beyond his expectations.

He saw the Death Qi swirling around Ling Su, yet it did not corrode her life force. Instead, it surrounded her like obedient children, exceptionally quiet...

“This is also the Dao Heaven Technique?”

Ling Su pursed her lips. “Well? Is it impressive? Want to learn?”

“Naturally. Will you teach me?”

“Hmph, help me find the innate chaotic spiritual treasure. One sentence per item, no bargaining!”

“Only one sentence? I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick. It should be at least eighty or a hundred sentences, right?”

“In your dreams! The Dao Heaven Technique only has ten sentences in total!”

“So few?”

“The Dao Heaven Technique is a Great Dao scripture of infinite mystery. One sentence can evolve into ten thousand variations. Even an Immortal King might not necessarily be able to learn a single sentence!”

Hearing Ling Su say this, Qin Tian became increasingly interested.

A Divine Ability as expensive as the Prison-Suppressing Indestructible Body, and it concerned the most ethereal Heavenly Secrets—it was hard to imagine just how strong it was!

“Stop dazing and tell me, which way do we go?”

Qin Tian smiled slightly.

A Black Seal suddenly emerged.

This was the item found in the Reef Treasury according to Child Matriarch Jade Transformation's description.

The Prison-Suppressing Golden Dragon roared.

In the next moment.

The Black Seal burst with dazzling black light, completely enveloping Qin Tian and Ling Su.

“Hold on to me!”

Qin Tian pulled Ling Su over and held her tightly in his arms.

Ling Su's face turned slightly red, but she did not resist.

Although the Dao Heaven Technique was strong, she only had the cultivation of a Heavenly Monarch.

Facing the unknown, it was naturally wisest to rely on Qin Tian.

And...

Most importantly... she didn't dislike this...

In fact, her heart was racing...

The Black Seal soon swallowed the two of them and then rushed into the deepest part of the Dead Sea at an incredible speed.

There, the Death Qi had condensed into solid form, turning into silent dead zones that intertwined with each other—it was terrifying!

And, at the very bottom of those silent dead zones was a desolate Purgatory Ruin...!

Gloomy, cold, and hair-raising...

The Black Seal fell.

Qin Tian and Ling Su revealed themselves at the same time.

Ling Su's face was pale as she held onto Qin Tian's arm tightly, not daring to let go at all.

At this moment, she really wished that what she knew wasn't the Dao Heaven Technique for peering into heavenly secrets, but rather Daoist Magic for catching ghosts!

“Eh? It turns out our Young Dispenser of Fate is afraid of the dark?”

“Don't laugh!!”

Pinch!

Qin Tian felt his arm being twisted hard!

“Don't worry, there shouldn't be any of those floating things here...”

However.

Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Tian's hair suddenly stood on end!

Behind him, at some unknown point, the sound of "clack, clack" footsteps had actually begun to ring out!

And they were getting closer and closer...!
