Chapter 256 Qilin Battles the Demon Emperor
Leaving aside what happened after Lin Fei fell into the abyss and met Emperor Xuanyuan, on that broken bridge, Qin Zhongshan finally defeated the two puppet stone men with his Demon Emperor Claw.
However, after the two puppet stone figures were defeated, they did not disappear. Instead, they split into countless stone pieces, filling the entire abyss.
Looking up, there was no abyss to be seen; only the earth beneath one's feet.
"Damn it, damn it!" Qin Zhongshan was so angry he was jumping up and down. He had already wasted a lot of time here with the two puppet stone men. Now that the path to the abyss was completely blocked, he was even more furious.
"What kind of heretical and unorthodox methods are these treasures of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity? How dare you lay a finger on them?" Jian Qing sneered from afar. "If you have any self-awareness, you'd better get out of these Three Sovereigns ruins right now!"
"Damn it!" Qin Zhongshan was already burning with rage, and hearing Jian Qing's mockery only fueled his anger. He immediately ordered his men, "Kill this guy for me!"
Qin Zhongshan's men swarmed forward, and Jian Qing drew his sword to fight them off.
The swords Jian Qing used were the Three Immortal Swords, secretly passed down by the Hidden Sword Elder. Of course, he hadn't received instruction in the final sword, the "Benevolent Sword," and his mastery of the Courageous Sword was also limited. His most proficient sword was undoubtedly the Wisdom Sword, one of the Three Immortal Swords.
Among the Three Immortal Swords, the Benevolent Sword obtained by Lin Fei is a sword of life and death, possessing the miraculous power to reverse life and death and invert yin and yang. The Wisdom Sword learned by Jian Qing, on the other hand, is a sword of space.
With a single thrust of his sword, Jian Qing seemed to be in another dimension, and the attacks from the surrounding people could not land on him at all.
Jian Qing's cultivation level is currently only at the Six Apertures Realm, but he is not at all at a disadvantage when facing the combined attack of these experts. The Hidden Sword Elder's Three Immortal Swords are indeed incredibly powerful.
Although the Wisdom Sword is not as good as Lin Fei's Benevolent Sword, it is absolutely no problem to deal with ordinary experts.
Jian Qing engaged in combat with his men, but Qin Zhongshan had no time to appreciate Jian Qing's exquisite swordsmanship. His only concern was finding the path to the abyss at the bottom as quickly as possible.
The other side of the bridge is definitely off-limits. The true treasure of the Three Sovereigns isn't in that direction either, but at the bottom.
"Since you've blocked the way, then I'll forge a path!" Qin Zhongshan's face turned fierce. "If I can't obtain these Three Emperors' treasures, then no one else will!"
As he spoke, the Demon Emperor Claw in Qin Zhongshan's hand rapidly expanded, carrying billowing demonic energy, and he punched down onto the ground beneath his feet.
With a loud "boom," a large hole was punched into the ground beneath their feet.
"Not enough!" Qin Zhongshan's face showed a crazed expression, as if he were a complete madman. He raised his hand and punched the ground again.
It seems he actually intends to carve a tunnel out of the ground and enter the world beneath the abyss.
……
Meanwhile, inside the real Fire Cloud Cave, Emperor Xuanyuan had already conveyed his instructions to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei's expression turned serious when he heard what Emperor Xuanyuan had told him—because the task Xuanyuan had entrusted to him was to find the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court!
Lin Fei had also seen records of the ancient Heavenly Court in the records of the Jade Emperor Sect and the Southern Tang royal family. It was a supreme power institution created by the gods in ancient times to rule and manage the land of China.
Even the Buddhist sect is far inferior to the ancient Heavenly Court.
The ancient Heavenly Court, along with countless gods and Buddhas, vanished into the long river of time with the end of the ancient era. No one knows where that supreme Heavenly Court of ancient times ultimately went.
The task Emperor Xuanyuan entrusted to Lin Fei was to find the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court.
Lin Fei appeared quite troubled: "Senior Xuanyuan, the ancient Heavenly Court has been missing for countless years. Aside from rumors, nothing else has survived. How can I possibly find the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court?"
"No rush. For you right now, finding the Heavenly Court ruins is far too difficult. Even if you did find them, with your current cultivation level, you probably wouldn't even be able to enter the Southern Heavenly Gate." Emperor Xuanyuan chuckled. "You don't need to search too deliberately. If I'm not mistaken, when the time comes, even if you don't search, fate will come to you on its own."
Lin Fei was completely bewildered by Emperor Xuanyuan's words, as if he were some kind of charlatan. However, it's normal for someone like him to be somewhat unfathomable.
"Alright, I know you still have many questions, but my time is up, and I can't answer them for you any longer." Emperor Xuanyuan said directly, "When the wheel of fate begins to turn, on the day that happens, all your questions will be answered."
If Lin Fei hadn't known that the person standing before him was the first of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity, Emperor Xuanyuan, he probably would have thought this guy was a charlatan.
After Xuanyuan finished speaking, his body slowly grew larger, and his flesh and blood withered away rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Emperor Xuanyuan had already died in ancient times, something Lin Fei had witnessed firsthand. The Emperor Xuanyuan's current body was merely a remnant soul revived using True Dragon Origin Qi.
He handed over the True Dragon Origin Qi to Lin Fei, but his body couldn't hold on for long. In just a moment, it turned back into a pile of bones.
Looking at Xuanyuan, who had turned back into a pile of bones, Lin Fei couldn't help but sigh. The three ancient emperors were all figures with extraordinary cultivation. But in the end, all three died together in their own cultivation caves, which was truly lamentable.
……
Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the Fire Cloud Cave: "Eh? An ancient fire qilin? This place truly lives up to its reputation as the ruins of the Three Sovereigns, to have such a divine beast! Very well, you beast, from this day forward, you shall be my mount!"
That arrogant voice—who else could it be but Qin Zhongshan? Surprisingly, this guy was quick too. He actually dealt with both of the puppet stone figures and arrived at the entrance to the Fire Cloud Cave.
Outside the cave, the roar of the fire qilin echoed: "Who are you, you brat? How dare you utter such arrogant words?"
The Fire Qilin was the guardian beast of the three ancient emperors, and it was absolutely intolerable to be insulted like this.
Suddenly, the sounds of fighting could be heard outside the cave, along with Qin Zhongshan's arrogant laughter and the angry roar of the fire qilin.
It seems that Qin Zhongshan is already fighting the Fire Qilin outside the cave.
