Chapter 145

The Nine Yang Ancient God in the sea of consciousness, seeing the forbidden-zone spirit turn and leave, instinctively reached out, wanting to cry but with no tears.

He, an ancient god from the primordial era, is now imprisoned and suppressed in his sea of consciousness by a Spirit-Transforming cultivator.

Furthermore… his lineage was also driven away.

It's utterly embarrassing, a huge loss of face.

He felt somewhat desperate.

Why did I, after seizing a living being's body, encounter such a thing?

This is too horrifying.

But now… there's no other way; I can only take it step by step, first following this human mortal.

Later I will wait for an opportunity to dissolve the contract.

At the very least, I no longer have to stay in this forbidden land.

"Looks like I won't need to make a move anymore."

The second-generation Phoenix ancestor had a faint smile in his eyes, his expression calm.

That's all I can do.

Its mark is about to fade, the depletion too severe.

Furthermore, they forcibly set up a killing formation to imprison the Nine Yang Ancient God.

"Humm…"

A faint red starlight drifted out from around Qin Yu.

Qin Yu, having come to his senses, performed a respectful salute: "Seeing off the senior."

This forbidden-zone excursion was too dreamlike, involving many great figures and ancient monsters.

Even the primordial era was exposed.

From now on in the Cangyuan Realm, I must act cautiously to avoid encountering beings possessed by primordial gods.

If they knew what happened today, they would likely want to kill me.

Immediately, he ruffled the Little Phoenix's head; this time he also owed it to its ancestor.

Otherwise, I would not escape the calamity.

"Sir, I'll wait for you among the clouds; after we go out, we'll meet again," Niepan Jie Ling said via voice transmission, as he was inconvenient to appear, hiding within the thunderclouds.

Moments later, the rolling thunderclouds drifted apart to the firmament.

He feared Qin Yu might meet with an accident.

Who knows whether this forbidden-zone spirit will secretly strike a killing blow.

Niepan Jie Ling mobilized the power of the Lightning Dao, forcibly opening a channel capable of transmitting energy, bolstered by law, ready to act at any moment.

"Thank you for your assistance, Senior Jie Ling," Qin Yu also replied.

Soon after, the surrounding power of rules gradually dissipated.

Bi Qingmu, seeing this, hastily clasped his hands in salute, deeply respectful: "Congratulations, young master, congratulations on breaking through to the Spirit-Transforming realm and receiving the heavenly god's inheritance."

"From now on, no one among the younger generation will be able to rival you!"

Deep in his eyes lay envy: the primordial inheritance, plus the ability to sweep peers of the same rank, and a powerful background.

In this era, few monsters can stand in Qin Yu's way.

Perhaps only a handful.

"I beg you, young master, to give me a chance to follow you; I, Qingmu, will quickly shed my Blood Spirit lineage and restore myself as a Medicine Spirit," Bi Qingmu said, dropping to one knee and speaking hastily.

Even the second-generation Phoenix ancestor had previously bestowed blessings.

Such a great fortune-bearer, if I can cling to his thigh, my future prospects will surely be bright.

Furthermore… Bi Qingmu knows some secrets: the great age is imminent, rules will be perfected, spiritual energy will revive, and the Longevity Sacred Realm will appear again.

Although I have now devoured Bi Xue Mu's Dao fruit and forcibly raised myself to the Dao realm, I… wanting to go further is nearly impossible.

It requires a terrifying opportunity to descend.

"Humm!"

A drop of heart's blood welled up, bearing ancient characters that floated and turned into a sheet of snow-white paper—this is the contract.

Qin Yu only needs to press his hand seal to store it away.

"This contract has no traps; incorporating it under your command can now protect your safety and make it a guardian of the Dao." At that moment, Niepan Jie Ling's voice sounded in his mind.

It has been watching from the firmament, lest any mishap occur.

Seeing this scene, my heart was actually quite calm; I could only praise this Dao-stage being for having good judgment.

Those who follow the adult at this time are all people of great wisdom.

Their future accomplishments will not be lacking.

Hearing this, Qin Yu pressed his hand seal onto the contract formed from the heart's blood.

"My talent is ordinary, my background average; since you are willing to follow me, if you give your all, I will surely not let you down in the future," Qin Yu said solemnly.

Bi Qingmu, hearing this, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, said nothing—this was too much of a humblebrag.

The Phoenix clan that fell in ancient times, you have all collected as mounts; if you don't have a great background, who does?

Even the Medicine King clan couldn't make a fierce divine beast serve as a mount.

Moreover… mediocre talent? That's even more of a joke.

Who at the Foundation Establishment stage has mastered several Dao intents, all reaching great accomplishment, with physical strength far surpassing peers, clearly breaking the limit?

"Old man, I will wholeheartedly help the young master reach the pinnacle!", Bi Qingmu replied solemnly.

Seeing this, Qin Yu felt satisfied.

A Dao-stage being, in this era, is the ultimate powerhouse.

Even if it's an ancient Dao lineage of the Xuánmíng Holy Land's caliber, there are at most only three or five Dao-stage cultivators.

They are extremely rare.

Of course… since it's not long since antiquity, some ancient great sects likely still have Saints who survived the great calamity, or quasi-Saint experts.

Therefore, we need to quickly increase our strength.

Since I am a member of the Xuanyang Sect, I am destined to oppose the Xuánmíng Holy Land.

Sooner or later we will meet.

This time also let Qin Yu see the gap between himself and his peers' heavenly pride; upon returning, he prepares to enter seclusion for a period to first increase his strength.

Then he begins preparations to return to the Blue Star.

Some longevity-extending spiritual medicines must be put on the agenda.

After a moment of contemplation, he established contact with Biqing Mu, gaining a slight sense.

Immediately, Qin Yu, accompanied by Biqing Mu, went straight to the inner perimeter entrance.

He saw many familiar faces, although they were stained with blood, but fortunately not many were missing.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

These are the core of his future team.

"Big brother…" At that moment, a small figure appeared behind Qin Yu, a tender little hand gripping his lapel, speaking in a soft, childish voice.

Qin Yu rubbed Xiao Xiao's head: "It's fine, I'm back."

"My lord, after you entered the Heavenly God Forbidden Zone, we have already swept down the Heavenly Feather Clan; it took dozens of days to completely encircle and slaughter them, and these are the treasure spirit stones from their bodies."

"Moreover, the Blood Spirit Clan has been completely wiped out; the remaining thirty-five human geniuses are all willing to submit to you, willing to pay with their lives, so that you may lift the blood contracts on them."

Tuoba Prince brought a pile of high-quality Qiankun Bags, came before Qin Yu, and performed a cupped-fist salute.

These are the spoils of war, extremely abundant.

Seeing this, Qin Yu calmly said: "Keep one-third of these things, and distribute the rest; you have just come out of the forbidden zone and also need resources."

After his words fell, he patted Little Phoenix's head, indicating it needed to get to work.

Having become a junior uncle of the Xuanyang Sect, resources are certainly not lacking.

Settling the mind is key.

These roughly sixty human geniuses, if they all rise, will in the future… be a considerable assistance.

"Oh!"

Little Phoenix shook its head, reluctantly inhaling and exhaling the Nirvana True Fire, which burned over many geniuses.

In just a moment, more than thirty blood contracts were all destroyed.

"Thank you, my lord; we swear to follow you unto death by heaven and earth!" The crowd hurriedly spoke, overjoyed, this is an opportunity that must be seized.

Shortly after, the Heavenly Dao oath was formed.

This time… the harvest was abundant.
