Chapter 296: 【The Groove】

Why did the Primordial Heavenly Venerable Meng Qi want to keep the dark history of his time as the Reckless Jin Gang at Shaolin Temple?

Ahem, the groove...

Lin Xian paused, raised his head to look at the horizon, always feeling inexplicably suppressed, and felt it was better not to say anything.

If an Opening Heaven Axe flew from outside the sky, there would be nowhere to cry.

On the other side, due to the performance of the Buddhist hard-refining expert Meng Qi, the group was unimpeded all the way, and in the process, gradually found a tacit understanding of cooperation and understood the operating mode of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The Hidden Emperor Fortress mission was a conspiracy by the Hidden Emperor Fortress Master to use the heaven-sent poison, the Heart-Seizing Pill, to control martial arts experts and attempt to ascend the throne as Emperor.

There was no million-strong army, no golden spears and iron horses, no red-clothed cannons; they only needed to deal with martial arts experts and the Fortress Master's lackeys. It was basically a bullying match. Even if Lin Xian didn't make a move, with the blessing of the Desolate Ancient Holy Body Little Meng, the group pushed through all the way and found the native teammates of this world.

Then, the local expert Cheng Yong, who was controlled by the Heart-Seizing Pill, took advantage of the gap when everyone turned around, roared, and pounced on the nearest person.

Lin Xian was battle-hardened and watched this crazy act with cold eyes, unhurriedly, and slashed out with a sword.

"Senior Brother Qingyuan, show mercy, that is the object we are here to rescue." Before Jiang Zhiwei's words fell, Lin Xian's sword light had already landed.

A huge head rolled to the ground, accompanied by the voice of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

【Qingyuan rescued Cheng Yong from the sea of suffering of being controlled by the Heart-Seizing Pill, completing one of the side missions; reward: ten Merit Points.】

"This works too?!" Everyone was stunned. It turns out physical liberation is also liberation.

After realizing this point, fire appeared in the eyes of the group, and they began to show the style of reincarnators who could harm the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.

【Jiang Zhiwei, Zhen Ding... completed one of the side missions; rewards are...】

With a great expert like Lin Xian sitting in command, the group not only killed the mission targets but even cleared out all the poisonous beasts, cut off the Heart-Seizing Pills, and committed acts of extermination.

The Sword God was stained with blood, the monk broke his vows, and the Daoist's eyes were red from killing.

Heaven gives birth to all things for man, man has nothing to give to heaven; kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

When the main hall turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, leaving only the group of reincarnators, a grand, solemn, yet cold and indifferent voice echoed in their ears:

【The Hidden Emperor Fortress Master is dead, the main mission is completed; each person is rewarded with fifty Merit Points; return.】

Brilliance circulated. After a small test of a dungeon mission, everyone returned to the Reincarnation Plaza again.

After a series of cumbersome matters such as treatment and deduction of Merit Points, the grand voice of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded.

【Hidden Emperor Fortress mission evaluation: except for Qingyuan, who is 'Perfect', all are 'Ordinary', no extra rewards. Qingyuan is rewarded with an extra 100 Merit Points and also obtains one chance to draw a lot. Drawing range: all things below External Scenery.】

"So there are extra rewards." Meng Qi couldn't help but mutter: "Isn't this the pass evaluation?"

A trace of curiosity appeared in Lin Xian's eyes. 100 Merit Points were a drizzle to him. For an expert of his level, thousands of Merit Points were not much; only tens of thousands of Merit Points were of some use.

What really interested him was the drawing. All things below External Scenery could be a kitchen knife, an elixir, or the opening chapter of Other Shore divine arts like "Primordial Golden Tome" or "Tathagata Palm".

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a lot tube appeared. Light and shadow circulated, and items flashed past inside, gradually slowing down and freezing on a scripture.

Awarded one volume of "Primordial Boundless Salvation Superior Wonderful Scripture".

Primordial Salvation Scripture?

There was no special immortal aura on it, nor any Great Dao runes; it was just a withered yellow scripture, ordinary to the point of being no different from ordinary.

After the members of the Reincarnation Squad looked at it, they all determined that there was nothing special about it.

"It's just a scripture for setting up a spirit altar at an ordinary funeral." Qingjing, a Daoist of the Profound Heaven Sect, spread his hands: "Senior Brother Qingyuan, don't look at it; it's no different from the scriptures for saving the dead that cost three coins a copy at a street stall."

"Saving the dead, specifically countering corpse disasters..." Lin Xian narrowed his eyes, nodded, and hid the Primordial Salvation Scripture in his pocket, preparing to use it together with the Lingbao Salvation Scripture after returning to the Shrouding the Heavens Great Universe.

The drawing matter came to an end, followed by the popular exchange session. Everyone was focused, thinking about their future paths.

Especially the Reckless Jin Gang who had deep scheming and entered the handyman courtyard; because he had seen so much, there were too many choices, and he stopped moving forward, hesitant.

"There are so many things I want..." Just as Little Meng's eyes were dazzled, Lin Xian walked to his side and suddenly said: "Since you are the Desolate Ancient Holy Body, how can you not cultivate the Five Great Secret Realms."

"When the Holy Body is completed and the Secret Realms are perfected, one can be called the number one expert throughout history. Even a flawless Great Emperor can only challenge the Holy Body of the current age!" Little Meng's eyes lit up instantly, and he began to flip through the scriptures of the Shrouding the Heavens lineage, then quickly became decadent.

With his Merit Points, he could barely exchange for the Bitter Sea chapter of the Dao Scripture; however, this was only a beginning.

The Desolate Ancient Holy Body is a gold-swallowing beast; it needs a large amount of Merit Points to exchange for Hundred Grass Liquid, and even Source Stones for cultivation.

"No source, no fate!" Little Meng sighed to the sky. A penny can stump a hero.

"I do have the pill formula for Hundred Grass Liquid, which I haven't exchanged to the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation." Lin Xian secretly transmitted a part of the pill formula to Meng Qi, then smiled: "Junior Brother Meng, are you willing to exchange?"

"What does Senior Brother Qingyuan want?" Meng Qi looked helpless and spread his hands: "I have nothing of value; I only have those Merit Points, which aren't enough to fill the gaps in your teeth."

"I just want to ask Junior Brother a few questions." Lin Xian asked slowly: "Has Junior Brother Meng read "Shrouding the Heavens"?"

Meng Qi was startled. Could it be that Senior Brother Qingyuan was also from Earth? For a moment, he didn't know how to answer and could only nod to indicate.

"Then "Perfect World"?" Lin Xian asked immediately, wanting to determine the time node.

At this time, it was Meng Qi's turn to be dumbfounded. He shook his head and said: "I haven't heard of it. Could it be the sequel to Shrouding the Heavens?"

It's not a sequel, it's a prequel.

Lin Xian roughly understood how Meng Qi had transmigrated. Since he hadn't read Perfect World, let alone Sacred Ruins.

"Is Senior Brother a fellow villager of mine?" Meng Qi looked up at the sky, afraid that the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was eavesdropping, and could only use euphemistic words to probe.

"The Great Thousand Worlds have everything, and the Myriad Heavens and Worlds are ever-changing."

Lin Xian said indifferently: "I've been to one or two worlds; it's no big deal. Didn't we just go to another world to complete a mission just now?"

"Perhaps, one day in the future, Junior Brother Meng will receive a reincarnation mission for the Shrouding the Heavens world and go to pacify the Dark Turmoil."

Shrouding the Heavens character? Dark Turmoil!

Little Meng's mouth twitched. Senior Brother Qingyuan, you really think highly of me. I'm just a little novice monk at Shaolin Temple; what virtue and ability do I have.

Hundred-day Foundation Establishment fighting Forbidden Zone Supremes—will I win?

That is the Dark Battlefield where even Ye Tiandi was beaten half to death. If I, a half-baked Desolate Ancient Holy Body, go there, wouldn't I be delivering my head?

After pondering for a moment, Meng Qi probed: "Has Senior Brother Qingyuan been to that world?"

More than that, I have long been a person of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

Lin Xian smiled without saying a word, implicitly agreeing.

Meng Qi was overjoyed and asked: "Does Senior Brother know that Desolate Ancient Holy Body? As fellow villagers, I have long admired his name."

"I am also a Desolate Ancient Holy Body now!"

If I can hug Ye Tiandi's thigh, I, Little Meng, will never have to struggle again!

This pirated Main God Space might not be able to defeat the Huang Tiandi Fist.

Lin Xian frowned. What is wrong with young people nowadays? They always think about lying flat.

I didn't expect you, Reckless Jin Gang, to be thick-browed and big-eyed, and yet you do this kind of thing.

If Ye Tiandi is to be gnawed by you, who will I, Holy Master Lin, gnaw? This accident must absolutely not be allowed to happen. So Lin Xian pushed with both hands, his expression solemn: "Heaven's movement is vigorous, the gentleman should strive for self-improvement."

"Junior Brother Meng, you have become slack. You must know that cultivation is a matter of one's own self!"

"Look at my strength now; it is all accumulated bit by bit through my own talent and hard work."

"The most important thing in cultivation is a solid foundation!"

"Relying on others to ascend to heaven in broad daylight—this kind of whimsical thing, you must absolutely not do!" (Leave it to me, Lin Mou, to do.)
