Chapter 81 Zhuofeng (210)

"Ye Zi, you're such a troublemaker!"

Qin Sheng roughly knew where Ye Fan was, so he rode away in a beam of light, heading towards the Tai Xuan Sect within the territory of Wei.

This is the second largest sect in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, after the Yao Guang and Ji families. It has 108 main peaks, each corresponding to a peerless inheritance, making it extremely powerful.

Even ancient aristocratic families and holy lands are unwilling to easily provoke the Tai Xuan Sect.

A short while later, the gate of the Tai Xuan Sect came into Qin Sheng's view, where tens of thousands of people had gathered.

This period is when the Tai Xuan Sect opens its gates wide and recruits disciples, making it a very lively time.

"Even in the heavens, one cannot forget the mortal world." Qin Sheng thought to himself, using the Devouring Demon Canopy to seal his cultivation, making it impossible for anyone to perceive his true nature.

He planned to infiltrate the Tai Xuan Sect to find Ye Fan.

The reason he concealed his identity was that the disciples of Yaoguang were too ostentatious. Although they could receive preferential treatment, it would not be conducive to his future plans.

There is something Qin Sheng is determined to obtain within the Tai Xuan Sect.

The first test for Tai Xuan to recruit disciples is a gate to immortality, which can only be passed by those with talent for cultivation.

Qin Sheng blended into the crowd, blending in with the crowd, and easily passed the test.

The scenery inside the Tai Xuan Sect is amazing, with celestial palaces, divine islands, ancient halls, and majestic peaks, but it pales in comparison to the Yao Guang Sect.

"You shall now proceed to the 108 main peaks. Only by passing the test of any one of the main peaks can you remain and continue your cultivation and inheritance."

An old man spoke to all those who had passed the test of the immortals.

The crowd dispersed, most of them more interested in those powerful lineages, but Qin Sheng deliberately ventured into remote places.

Finally, he arrived at a main peak that was only about three thousand meters high. It was a desolate place with no inhabitants.

Qin Sheng carefully sensed that this desolate peak seemed to contain some kind of Daoist essence, making it extremely special.

"This is Zhuofeng?"

Qin Sheng came to Tai Xuan not only to find Ye Fan, but also for the All-Encompassing Secret, one of the Nine Secrets.

The All-Encompassing Secret Technique is a supreme secret art. Once mastered, it can be triggered to increase combat power tenfold. It can be used from the early to the late stages of cultivation and will never become obsolete.

For Qin Sheng, the secret of the word "all" is even more effective, since he already has a combat power boost. With the two combined, the effect is truly terrifying.

Zhuofeng is the place where the secret of the character "皆" is passed down.

Qin Sheng looked out over the main peak and soon spotted a figure in the mountains; the figure had also noticed him.

That was Ye Fan.

Ye Fan strode down the peak, punched Qin Sheng, and grinned from ear to ear.

"How did you know I was here?"

"When I came back, you were all gone, and the place was a mess. Knowing you as I do, you must have run away for your lives," Qin Sheng said with a smile.
"This is the best place to take refuge."

"...What do you mean I was running for my life? I wasn't being chased the whole time!" Ye Fan argued, then said:

“We originally planned to come to you, but the situation is critical, we don’t know where you are, and we are afraid that we will be blocked by the Ji family on the way, so we have to come to Tai Xuan Sect first.”

"So, Master Ye, how come you got into trouble again after I was only gone for half a month?"

Qin Sheng: "You should go find a place to pray and change your luck."

He thought it would be good to go and pay homage to the ancient forbidden land.

No, we can't go to the Forbidden Wasteland. The ruthless one seems to be the leader of the Bitter Leaf Sect.

"..." Ye Fan's face stiffened, and he let out a long sigh.

“I also feel like I’m so unlucky. When you’re here, everything goes smoothly, but when you’re not here, all sorts of bad things start happening.”

"It seems only you can ward off the bad luck that's been plaguing me."

Looking back, Ye Fan felt bitter.

After arriving in Beidou, his life was full of hardships and heartache. Only when he was with Qin Sheng could he have a few days of peace and receive various benefits.

Life was so enjoyable.

But once Qin Sheng leaves, all sorts of monsters and demons will jump out to deal with me, and some things that have nothing to do with me, Ye, will also involve me.

So this overwhelming bad luck doesn't dare to bother Immortal Qin, but is targeting me, Ye, to unleash its power, is that it?

Ye Fan grew angrier the more he thought about it. What had he done to deserve this?
Damn it, isn't this bullying an honest person?!
"Immortal Qin, how can I live without you!"

"Get lost!" Qin Sheng laughed and cursed.

Ye Fan led Qin Sheng up Zhuofeng Peak, while quietly giving him some instructions.

"There is a secret technique here at Zhuofeng that can enhance one's combat power, but do not reveal your identity as a disciple of Yaoguang." Qin Sheng nodded, "I understand."

Five hundred years ago, the Lord of Zhuofeng and the Supreme Elder of Yaoguang Holy Land fought each other and both perished.

Since then, the lineage of Zhuofeng has never been seen again.

This is also why Qin Sheng concealed his identity.

Although five hundred years have passed and many things have vanished with the wind, it is still best for Qin Sheng, a disciple of Yao Guang, to keep a low profile.

"After you left, we..."

Ye Fan recounted his and Ji Ziyue's experiences.

They were in danger because of the Ji family.

Ji Ziyue's cousin's maid discovered them and tried to kill them. After killing the maid, Xiao Yueliang suggested that they seek refuge at Tai Xuan Sect.

If they stayed where they were and waited, they weren't sure whether they would see Qin Sheng or Ji Ziyue's cousin first.

"Large families are just chaotic," Ye Fan remarked.

"Even though they are sisters who are related by blood, they hate each other to the bone and will not hesitate to kill each other if given the chance."

"Wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue." Qin Sheng was not surprised.

"The conflicts of interest within ancient aristocratic families are unimaginable to outsiders."

The betting duel between Qin Sheng and Zhou Siyang at the Four Symbols Stone Archway was just a minor incident, and no blood was drawn.

The real conflicts within the Yao Guang Holy Land are no less intense than those within the Ji family.

Ye Fan took Qin Sheng to meet the master of Zhuofeng, an old man named Li Ruoyu.

"Senior, this is my closest friend. Could you let him stay at Zhuofeng for a while as well?"

When Ye Fan introduced Qin Sheng, he also bowed to Li Ruoyu.

This old man was also a legendary figure, with extremely poor natural talent and aptitude, belonging to the lowest ranks in the Tai Xuan Sect.

But he never gave up, firmly believing that diligence could make up for lack of talent. He never participated in any struggles, and by not competing, he pursued the natural way.

While some of Li Ruoyu's peers were still stuck in the Four Extremes Secret Realm, he quietly made great strides on his path of cultivation.

Once he receives the inheritance of Zhuofeng in the future, he will soar to new heights, naturally breaking through realm after realm with the passage of time.

Li Ruoyu's gaze fell on Qin Sheng, and after carefully examining him for a moment, he nodded.

“You are different from Ye Fan, but now that Zhuofeng has come this far, if you are willing to stay, then stay.”

"Thank you, senior." Qin Sheng said.

……

"Ji Ziyue said that the lost secret technique of Zhuofeng can be called a celestial technique. It was once famous in the Eastern Wilderness, but unfortunately no one has learned it for a long time."

Ye Fan said, "But just because it was lost in the past doesn't mean it won't reappear in the future."

“Each main peak of the Tai Xuan Sect is a natural scripture. Even if a certain lineage is temporarily unlearned, causing a certain peak to decline, as long as the people are still here, there will always be a day when it will flourish again.”

"I've heard about that too." Qin Sheng was naturally aware of this claim.

"By the way, Ji Ziyue is at Xingfeng now. Let's split up," Ye Fan added.

Qin Sheng glanced at him and said meaningfully:
"Yezi, when we return to Earth, remember to bring a gift for your uncle and aunt."

"I think it would be good to bring them a grandson back with us."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Ye Fan's expression was quite varied, and he quickly changed the subject.

"Although it is said that each main peak is a scripture, I have been studying the clumsy peak for several days and have not found anything."

"Senior Li told me that I would only have the opportunity to obtain it after the inheritance was truly activated."

Qin Sheng's gaze swept across the forests of Zhuofeng. "No exceptions?"

“There are exceptions, but in the past ten thousand years, only one sage obtained the secret technique by comprehending the Humble Peak itself before the inheritance was opened,” Ye Fan said.
"The sage left behind twelve words before his passing, which are:"
"Great perfection seems imperfect, great fullness seems empty, great skill seems clumsy..." It all sounds rather cryptic.

Ye Fan shook his head. "I don't understand."

Qin Sheng repeated the twelve words, eager to give it a try.

"No matter how you look at it, the advantage is in my hands."
