Martial Arts Crossover: Me, the Immortal Venerable, Opens a Pawnshop in the Martial Arts World

This person is none other than the highly respected Master Qingwei, the master of Mount Shu!

Ling Tian was just a mortal, yet he dared to call him "old man" to his face, and even called him that several times, showing no respect whatsoever!

That's incredibly audacious!

If it weren't for the sect leader's presence, someone would have already been unable to hold back and wanted to teach them a lesson.

However, Qingwei was not angry at all; instead, he smiled gently.

"Of course, of course. I will certainly deliver that box to you."

"But right now, it's more important to check on Changqing's injuries."

"White bean sauce?"

Ling Tian, ​​who was initially excited, suddenly froze, and hurriedly said:

"That's right! Bai Doufu got injured by that red-haired monster!"

"Old man, go check on him!"

At Ling Tian's repeated urging, Qingwei gently lifted Xu Changqing up, and the three of them flashed away, leaving the spot empty.

A moment later, Qingwei returned to Wuji Pavilion alone, where she saw Lingtian sitting in the hall waiting for her.

Upon seeing him appear, Ling Tian immediately stood up and asked:

"Old man, how's Bai Doufu?"

"How badly are you injured?"

Qingwei chuckled and shook her head:

"It's alright. Demon Lord Chonglou didn't use excessive force; he will recover after a few days of rest."

"That's good, that's good..."

Ling Tian breathed a sigh of relief, a smile just appearing on his face, when he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Qingwei:

"By the way, you mentioned in my dream that you wanted me to do two things for you?"

"Which two items are they?"

Qingwei lightly waved the whisk in her hand, and the surrounding void rippled like water.

"Young friend Ling Tian, ​​please follow me."

Before the words were even finished, the two figures had already vanished from the pavilion.

When it reappeared, it was already standing in front of that towering tower against the piercing sky.

It rose into the air, hovering above nothingness, directly facing the gate of the giant tower.

Qingwei spoke slowly, her voice calm yet heavy:

"This is the Demon-Locking Tower, the most important place in our Shu Mountain sect."

"For thousands of years, it has imprisoned countless demons and evil spirits that have been subdued by my Shu Mountain."

"However, today, due to the arrival of the Demon Lord Chonglou, a crack has appeared in the tower."

"If it were just ordinary demons and ghosts escaping, the situation could still be brought under control."

"What is truly frightening is that wisp of dark blue mist... It is a condensation of the most evil thoughts in the world."

"It is constantly devouring the resentment, fear, and despair in people's hearts, using them to grow."

"When the Demon-Sealing Tower was intact, it was sealed inside, isolated from the human world, and never allowed to be revealed."

"But now..."

"The tower is destroyed and cracked. Even if our Shu Mountain sect uses all its strength, we can only barely trap it here and cannot completely suppress it."

"If it is allowed to continue absorbing evil thoughts from all over the world, it will eventually take shape."

"At that time, humanity will be plunged into an abyss of no return, and all living beings will be wiped out!"

!!!

Qingwei's words were not loud.

Yet it was clearly transmitted to every inch of the land of Kyushu, reaching the ears of hundreds of millions of living beings.

In an instant, countless people were startled, suddenly recalling the appearance of the mysterious man in black earlier.

If memory serves me right, the man in black once said—in three hundred days, the human world will become a purgatory!

Now listen to what Qingwei has to say.

The two are subtly connected, like threads of fate.

"Could it be... that everything the man in black said was true?"

"Will the catastrophe that will strike humanity in three hundred days truly come?"

"Is even the painting he exhibited a true reflection of the future?"

"hiss--"

"So, he already foresaw the future? Could he really predict his fate three hundred days from now?"

······

"Terrifying... If true, just what level has that man in black reached?"

"Does such a thing truly exist, capable of predicting the future with such accuracy, even depicting events that haven't yet occurred in a painting?"

"So far... it seems that only the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking possesses such all-encompassing power."

"After all, the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking can reflect the thirty strongest people in the world and reveal their life trajectories."

"Even so... while that man in black may not be as extraordinary as those on the Heavenly Ranking, he is still terrifying beyond measure!"

"Speaking of which... after his prediction came true, a shocking idea popped into my head."

"Since he can easily suppress someone like Ling Tian."

......

"And it can depict the events of three hundred days from now in the scroll with perfect accuracy."

"Does that mean that, as his power grows, he will also be able to visualize the entire life of anyone?"

"hiss……"

"To recreate a person's entire past through film?"

"This...this is precisely the power of the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking!"

"so……"

"This mysterious man in black is very likely the mastermind behind the creation of the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking?"

"That's highly likely! It makes perfect sense!"

"The Six Realms where General Fei Peng resides are ancient times that are now beyond reckoning."

"During those long years, this person's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds."

"Even today, what is impossible about possessing the power to see into another's entire life?"

"That's right! After such a long period of time, his power must have long since transcended the mortal realm!"

"hiss……"

"In other words, he is very likely the creator of the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, the mastermind behind everything?"

"So that's how it is... The Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, such a heaven-defying item, was not created by heaven and earth, but by humankind?"

"Man-made? If someone could really do that, could they still be called human?"

"Even the celestial beings of the divine realm are but ants before him!"

The Qin Dynasty.

Inside the imperial carriage, where six steeds galloped swiftly.

Ying Zheng's gaze sharpened as he looked up at the gleaming Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking high in the heavens. The image of the man in black unfurling the scroll flashed through his mind, and his eyes gleamed with a sudden burst of light—

"The Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking lists the thirty strongest individuals in the world, revealing their entire lives and deeds!"

"The lives of the top ten are vividly depicted through a series of images!"

"Such terrifying methods would have been unthinkable to me in the past."

"But now, the actions of that mysterious man in black are making one wonder!"

Ying Zheng's life was full of ups and downs, and he was very knowledgeable. Very few things could move him.

Even when he ascended the throne at a young age, facing numerous traps set by Lü Buwei and the combined siege of six states, he never frowned.

However, the appearance of the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking completely shattered his understanding of heaven and earth and reshaped his comprehension of this world!

For Ying Zheng, and indeed for all living beings in the entire Nine Provinces, the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking was a supreme thing that transcended words.

It is a kind of existence that they simply cannot comprehend.

Even before the life story of General Fei Peng was revealed, the existence of Immortal Long Yang, who had already broken the limits of cognition—whose power far surpassed that of Xiao Sanxiao, the fourth-ranked figure on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, that ancient being who stood at the pinnacle of heaven and man—

It is still incomparable to the power represented by the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking itself.

Only the Divine General Fei Peng possesses invincible combat power that can sweep across eternity and shatter the world with a mere gesture.

Only then did they catch a glimpse of a possibility: from what realm did that power, which could illuminate a person's entire life in the heavens, originate?

But that was only a "slight" understanding.

now--

The mysterious man in black's act of depicting events three hundred days in advance in a scroll and displaying them to the public is very likely true.

Predicting the future is inherently mysterious; if one merely has a vague sense of what the future will bring, that is still acceptable.
