There are no ancestors at all; I made them all up.

Chapter 90 This is relevant [Six chapters completed]

"It really is this thing."

Although he had suspected it beforehand, Chen Qing was still in a daze the moment he got his hands on the spirit bone.

"call out--"

A sharp whistle cuts through the air and suddenly arrives!

The white-robed swordsman lowered his sword light and landed ten feet away. Although his sword energy was subdued, his sharpness was still overwhelming.

"Fengxi Sword Pavilion, Yue Qingxiao." He clasped his hands in a fist salute, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. "Fellow Daoist's methods are shrewd; I, Yue, am deeply impressed! May I ask your esteemed title?"

“Mingxia Mountain, Chen Qing”.

"Mingxia Mountain?" Yue Qingxiao raised an eyebrow slightly. "A reclusive sect?"

"A minor sect, not worth mentioning," Chen Qing said, looking at the old woman leaning on a white bone cane in the shadow of the withered bamboo.

"Hehehe!" The old woman chuckled eerily, and the skeletal platform retreated silently. "This old woman is blind but discerning! Young friend, you possess astonishing skills. Treasures belong to the virtuous, and your possession of this item proves your virtue! This old woman is of meager virtue and shallow fortune, and dares not covet it. I will not disturb your refined enjoyment any longer! Farewell!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared into the gray mist without a trace.

Yue Qingxiao turned his gaze back to Chen Qing, his fighting spirit intensifying: "I came here only to hone my sword! Fellow Daoist's ability to cleave rainbows into gold is an excellent whetstone! This place is treacherous, perfect for testing one's life and death..."

"Boom!"

Poisonous clouds rolled in the distance, and a foul stench filled the air!
The savage roared like thunder: "You old monster of a hundred poisons! How dare you steal my opportunity! You're courting death!"

"Fellow Daoist Yue," Chen Qing withdrew his gaze and stated bluntly, "I have no interest in being anyone's whetstone, much less any intention to get involved in the chaos and do the work for someone else. Farewell!"

He didn't give Yue Qingxiao a chance to react at all. With a swift movement, he rushed to the side of the Rainbow Golden Corpse, rolled up his sleeves, and snatched the Qiankun Bag that had fallen to the ground into his hand.

It felt heavy in my hand, with subtle fluctuations of restraint.

"Wait!" Yue Qingxiao subconsciously took a step forward, his sword intent slightly unleashed, as if to stop him, but Chen Qing's figure flashed and was already three hundred feet away, and then he disappeared without a trace.

Azure waves and fairy island, clouds and mist suddenly condensed.

Across the stone table, the old man in black robes held the black pieces in mid-air, his small eyes narrowing: "Rainbow Gold is actually dead."

He looked up at the refined man and said, "This young man was one of your top disciples, a promising candidate for the Golden Core stage. It's a real pity that he was cut short at Xuyuan Mountain."

"What a pity?" The refined man revealed a genuine smile. "No, he died for good."

"Hmm?" The old man in black robes widened his eyes.

The refined man's voice remained gentle: "The 'dragon bone' we see today has a destiny as chaotic as an abyss, its heavenly secrets shrouded in mist. Even if we try to deduce it, it's like looking at flowers through a fog, making it difficult to discern its origins and fortune."

He clapped his hands and laughed: "Originally, he and we had no connection whatsoever, and the chasm between us was insurmountable. But since he personally killed my disciple! Once the killing began, the cause and effect became intertwined! Once this thread is pulled, it's like the sun breaking through the clouds, revealing his true nature. In this way, isn't Rainbow Gold's death a fitting and worthwhile one?"

The old man in black robes was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, pressing the black pieces heavily onto the board: "Even the life of a close disciple is used as firewood to guide the way! I wonder what that kid would think if he knew this in the afterlife."

"Once a piece is placed, it will naturally find its home." The refined man rose with a flick of his sleeve, which swept across the chessboard like flowing clouds.

Wow!

The intricate chessboard, along with the black piece that had just been placed, was reduced to dust, leaving no trace.

The old man in black robes withdrew his hand and asked, "What do you intend to do? Do you seek revenge? Or plunder?"

“I sent a Yin God at the peak of his cultivation, but he couldn’t bring him back, which means he can’t be brought back.” The refined man smiled slightly. “Since he can’t come, then we need to cross the tribulation by boat, so naturally I will go.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished like smoke.

"No regrets when you make a move."

Mount Xuyuan.

The gray fog billowed like boiling water!
Several figures, clad in armor and wielding sharp weapons, exuding a chilling aura, tore through the fog and descended from the sky!

"The wind has stopped, the fighting is over, and now you've finally arrived."

Chen Qing didn't stop walking. He glanced at the Xuanjia warriors that appeared in the clouds, then lowered his head and looked at the piece of black spiritual bone in his palm.

"Keeping it might cause unforeseen changes..."

Use five fingers to exert force suddenly!

The spiritual bone immediately transformed into a condensed, black light, as smooth as ink jade, and "whooshed" into Chen Qing's dantian!
"boom!"

The energy in the dantian and sea of ​​qi surged instantly!

The Taihe Silver Stream roars! The Taiyin Cold Current surges!
The natal star talisman hummed and trembled, and the illusory image of the second spirit talisman almost disintegrated!
Several distinct forces were forcibly crushed and melted together, seemingly to merge into one!
The words of the "Primordial Qi Scripture" flowed through my mind, and the prototype of a profound method that integrates various forces and unifies complexity was about to emerge!

"It's just one step away! Either go back into seclusion to think it through, or wait for the power to come out in my dream."

Suppressing his churning blood and qi, Chen Qing suddenly accelerated, shooting into the depths of the mountain stream before the battle soldiers above him could fall. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, starlight surged back like a tide, enveloping Ling Xiao and the monkey.

Everyone felt a flurry of starlight before their eyes, and the next moment they found themselves on solid ground, seeing the light of day again, standing behind Chen Qing.

"Are you all alright?" a deep voice rang out.

Everyone looked up and saw more than ten armored warriors descending from the clouds. The leader was a burly man, Tie Tu, the commander of the Zhenhai Division's elite vanguard battalion!
Ling Xiao composed herself, stepped forward, and cupped her hands in thanks: "Thank you, Commander Tie, for your timely assistance!" Her gaze, however, involuntarily drifted to Chen Qing, who remained silent and unyielding beside her. Feng Guang, Qing Ling, and the others did the same.

Iron Tiger's eyes flashed like lightning as he caught the subtle atmosphere, and he felt a chill in his heart: This kid is definitely not simple to make these geniuses act like this! He immediately memorized Chen Qing's appearance and name.

He said in a deep voice, "The Demonic Sect's Yin God has appeared in full force, and there has been external interference, which has led to a lapse in the defenses. Fortunately, you are all safe and sound. Quickly follow me onto the boat and evacuate from this dangerous place!"

"Wait a minute!"

The sound of swords piercing the air!

Yue Qingxiao arrived on his sword and bowed slightly to Tie Tu: "Yue Qingxiao of Fengxi Sword Lodge, currently serving in the army, humbly requests to join you."

Tie Tu examined it for a moment, then nodded: "Approved."

The airship ascended into the sky, accompanied by a fierce wind.

Yue Qingxiao swayed and squeezed to sit down next to Chen Qing: "Fellow Daoist Chen? I was amazed by your swift and decisive actions outside the withered bamboo forest just now! May I ask which unit you are stationed in? As a scout? As an assault unit? Or... do you have another important mission?"

Chen Qing glanced at him.

This person's swordsmanship was so pure it bordered on obsessive. Just moments ago he was going to use himself to sharpen his sword, but now he's back to chatting. Such a drastic change makes one want to keep one's distance. So I said indifferently, "Just a small sect doing odd jobs."

"Miscellaneous tasks?" Yue Qingxiao raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing it and wanting to ask further.

"Boom!" A sudden roar came from below!

The innate grand formation that had imprisoned the ship for millennia collapsed with a deafening roar the instant the flying boat took off!

On the flying boat, everyone turned around in shock!
"Where is the formation...?"

On the desolate land, several cultivators watched the rapidly dissipating gray mist and the rippling spatial waves. The ferocity in their eyes vanished instantly, leaving only horror.

Not far away, the old woman, who had already fled far away, strangely reappeared from behind a rotten tree. Her cloudy old eyes stared at the empty core of the mountain stream that had been revealed after the great formation dissipated, and her lips trembled.

"Even...even the array treasure has been taken?!"

The airship pierced through the gray fog and landed steadily on the Black Reef Isle's Xuan Tie Platform.

The cabin door swung open, and Su Zhijin was already waiting on the steps, looking tired but forcing a smile. He bowed deeply to the people who had just disembarked: "You have all been frightened! Due to poor coordination, I almost caused a disaster. I apologize for this!"

Before the words were even finished, several streaks of light had already pierced through the air and arrived!

Xingliuzi landed first, his gaze sweeping over Lin Zhuan and Zhang Shun, who were weak but otherwise unharmed. His anxiety subsided slightly, but his brows furrowed even more.

On the other side, Yu Luosha, accompanied by the elders of Baiqin Valley, arrived through the air with an imposing aura.

"You're tough enough!" She glanced at Feng Guang and Qing Ling, nodded slightly, and was about to leave with them.

Feng Guang and Qing Ling did not immediately set off. Instead, they turned around and walked to Chen Qing, solemnly clasping their hands in greeting. "Brother Chen, we will remember this life-saving grace! In the future, if you ever need our help, Feng Guang will be at your service!"

Qingling also bowed gracefully, took the token and presented it with both hands, her voice gentle yet firm: "Qingling agrees. This token, though simple, can grant passage through Hundred Birds Valley. When Sect Leader Chen arrives, I will certainly prepare a grand welcome!"

Chen Qing accepted the token without hesitation, saying, "Take care, fellow Daoists."

Lin Zhuan and Zhang Shun also stepped forward and bowed to Chen Qing, their attitudes sincere, a stark contrast to their previous demeanor.

"Sect Leader Chen, I will definitely pay you a visit to express my gratitude for saving my life this time!" Lin Zhuan said in a low voice.

Zhang Shun exclaimed, "If Master Chen ever has some free time in the future, please allow me to extend my hospitality as a host!"

Seeing this, Xingliuzi's eyelids twitched wildly, his face turned ashen, and in the end he only let out a heavy snort through his nose, then his sleeves rolled up, wrapped the two of them up, and they vanished in a streak of light, too lazy to even say any more pleasantries.

Mo Huaiyong wanted to go up and talk to Chen Qing, but Xu Yan stopped him by raising his hand.

“Ling Xiao has suffered considerable losses, and Sect Leader Chen also needs to recuperate.” Xu Yan’s gaze swept over Mo Huaiyong. “Nephew Mo, the follow-up matters at Xuyuan Mountain are complicated, and Envoy Su will need your Xuanji Chess Academy’s assistance.”

Mo Huaiyong had no choice but to suppress his thoughts and agree with a bow.

Xu Yan then said to Chen Qing, "Sect Leader Chen, please follow me." He personally led Chen Qing, Yun Cang, and Ling Xiao into a quiet room filled with spiritual energy deep within the Guanhai Pavilion.

The indoor setting features a jade table and a clear spring, creating a serene and pleasant atmosphere.

"The three of you should each choose a room to meditate in. The pills and spiritual food you need will be provided. Don't go out for the time being."

Xu Yan gave a few instructions and then left.

Before long, a woman in a palace dress knocked on the door and entered, offering fragrant tea. She said to Chen Qing, "Sect Leader Chen, the geomagnetic anomaly of Xuyuan Mountain has intensified, the mountain's displacement has accelerated, and the entanglement with the vortex abyss at sea has begun to loosen. The disaster may subside ahead of schedule."

Chen Qing put down his teacup: "In that case, my term of service..."

"The matter between the General and Envoy Su is still undecided," the woman replied, then changed the subject, her tone filled with genuine respect. "However, your heroic act of turning the tide, saving many comrades, and even slaying the Demonic Sect's Yin God, Rainbow Transformation Gold, has been fully recorded, and the merit points awarded are extremely generous. Once the list is finalized, you can exchange it for treasures from the treasury! Of course, to prevent the Demonic Sect from seeking revenge, the news will not be leaked."

Good deeds?

Chen Qing's spirits lifted: "When can I exchange it? What can I exchange it for?"

"The roster will be delivered to you by noon tomorrow at the latest." The woman in the palace dress smiled slightly, bowed, and withdrew.

After everyone left, Chen Qing's gaze fell on the golden monkey that was practicing its Qi-inducing technique.

"She didn't ask about anything that happened in the mountains." He stopped thinking about it, sat cross-legged, and with nothing else to do, he was contemplating whether to enter the Dream Immortal Court when he suddenly remembered something and took it out of his sleeve—

It was the Qiankun Bag of Rainbow Gold.

A faint light shimmered at the bag's opening, its seals imposing.

"A mere prohibition."

Chen Qing's right hand was slightly open.

All Qi returns to the burial, melting into the jade hand!
Five fingers, like hooks, gripped the bag's opening and the restraints!
"laugh--"

That layer of resilient protective aura was instantly devoured!
In the blink of an eye, the restriction collapsed!

Chen Qingling probed into it with her spiritual sense.

The space is small, but it is well-organized.

On one side, there were mountains of crimson crystals, exuding a bloodthirsty aura and pure spiritual energy. These were the "Blood Marrow Crystals," the hard currency of the Southern Flame Continent, numbering in the hundreds and possessing astonishing value!
On the other side were several jade boxes containing incredibly aged Yin-attribute spiritual herbs and ores, all of which were extraordinary.

What caught Chen Qing's attention were two items in the corner, which seemed to have been specially stored away.

With a thought, he had the two volumes in his hands.

Take the scroll on the left first.

It feels slightly heavy when you hold it. The cover has three ancient seal characters that read "Qi Shu Lun" and a line of small characters next to it that reads "Xian Chao Ji Edition Supplement".

"Does this mean this book was written during the Immortal Dynasty?" Chen Qing wondered, then unfolded the book and saw that the opening lines went straight to the heart of the matter: "Heaven and earth are like a furnace, and all living beings are like firewood. Fortune is the flame of that firewood..."

He then went on to elaborate on the art of observing qi and discerning fortune, as well as the insidious method of intercepting the sparks of fortune from others and grafting them onto oneself!

"A demonic cultivator has delved so deeply into the Dao of Destiny?"

He flipped through a few pages and put them aside, his gaze turning to another volume.

The cover of this volume is blank, but when Chen Qing opened the book, he found it contained two parts.

The upper part is titled "The Cycle of Reincarnation," and there are also the words "Chronicles of the Immortal Dynasty" next to it, but they are blurry.

It tells the story of how one carries merit or karma into the river of reincarnation to be reborn and start anew.

Chen Qing glanced at it briefly and didn't pay much attention. Then he glanced at the second volume and paused slightly!
The Scroll of Supernatural Powers: The Golden Body of Karmic Fire and the Wheel of Merit.

　I'm going to sleep now, my life is more important...
