Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Divine Phoenix Immortal Scripture, Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger
In a secluded place, Qin Chuan was sitting cross-legged at the edge of a cliff, sensing the nature of heaven and earth, and incidentally creating a cultivation technique.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
His body emitted a faint silver light, and continuously, silver runes flew out from within him, circling around him.
They were lines of scripture.
These scriptures flickered continuously, rapidly changing, swiftly being corrected, discarding the dross and keeping only the essence.
After a long time.
The scriptures suddenly trembled, like tadpoles finding their mother, instantly aligning in order, transforming into a dragon shadow in the sky.
The True Dragon bared its claws and fangs, made entirely of silvery white text, exuding a powerful and majestic aura.
"My ’Great Qin Ancestral Dragon Scripture’ is finally complete."
Qin Chuan smiled.
This was the first cultivation technique he created, not particularly powerful, just barely reaching the level of a celestial deity.
However, this was one of his trump cards, as he had integrated the spiritual seed of "Eternal Thoughts" into this technique.
Later, as long as someone cultivated this technique, even if he died, he could revive from it!
"Go, and destined ones shall obtain you."
He waved his hand, and the True Dragon formed by the scripture rapidly expanded, then divided into hundreds of small dragons, flying in all directions.
Perhaps, they would fall into a certain river, becoming mysterious dragon patterns, flowing with the water.
Perhaps, they would crash onto a certain mountain peak, becoming a delicate stone carving, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, shining brightly.
Perhaps, they would directly land on the head of a certain useless youth, getting understood by them, thus beginning the youth’s life-changing journey...
Everything was left to fate.
The more you desire control over some things, the less control you actually have, possibly yielding the opposite effect.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Suddenly, Qin Chuan felt his Communication Jade Talisman vibrating, he took it out and looked.
It was Lin Yi!
"This kid’s in trouble?" Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow, then began reading the message on the jade talisman.
Lin Yi said:
"Uncle Qin, I’ve encountered two unfathomable mysterious people, who don’t seem to be from our Nine Skies Realm."
"They asked me about the most dazzling genius of this era in the Nine Skies Realm, seemingly with some unspeakable purpose."
"...Uncle Qin, I’m sorry, I revealed Brother Qin Zi. I didn’t want to, but it’s not really a secret, if I didn’t say it others would, and if I lied, the consequences would be dire."
"In short, those two mysterious people might come looking for you, whatever their purpose, you all need to be careful."
Qin Chuan finished reading, his eyes lit up.
Finally, they’ve come!
He had been waiting for a long time.
These two mysterious people were most likely from Lin Yi’s mother’s family, coming to the Nine Skies Realm to hunt down a sin child.
However, what amused him was that these two people happened to run into Lin Yi immediately, and even managed to miss their target entirely!
What a perfect miss.
What a pair of unlucky fools!
Regardless, this also eased his guilt towards Lin Yi—if he hadn’t intervened, Lin Yi would probably have been done for.
One could say, he saved Lin Yi’s life!
Using one’s own son to save another’s son, what noble character, what selfless great love is this?
Even he was almost moved.
"Xiao Zi, come here."
Qin Chuan looked towards the cave abode and called out to Qin Zi.
"Father, I’m coming!"
A nervous voice came from Qin Zi’s room, as if he had just scrambled out of bed, stretching his neck to respond towards the door.
Soon.
Qin Zi appeared in front of Qin Chuan.
He was refreshed and energized, whether his clothes or hair, all were neat and tidy.
"Father, what’s up?"
Qin Zi asked with a smile.
"Where’s that jade pendant your mother left you?" Qin Chuan asked.
"Here it is."
Qin Zi quickly took it out; the jade pendant was a verdant green, with a crimson Vermilion Bird carved inside.
It was originally a Phoenix Jade Pendant, but Qin Chuan had altered its appearance, turning it into a Vermilion Bird Jade Pendant.
"Last time, during your battle with Luo Chentian at Thunder Sound Mountain, your bloodline awakened again, and this jade pendant should be unsealed."
As Qin Chuan spoke, he reached out with his right hand towards the jade pendant, which slowly floated up.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
A multitude of runes appeared out of nowhere, like countless fine chains wrapping the pendant, then these chains snapped one after another.
"Swoosh!"
Instantly, an ancient and noble aura permeated from inside the jade pendant.
A golden Phoenix emerged from the pendant, spiraling into the sky.
It rapidly expanded, encompassing the entire mountain range, radiating golden light, illuminating the Celestial Vault.
"Divine Phoenix is immortal, Nirvana brings eternal life!"
An ancient and authoritative voice emanated from the Phoenix, before it shattered with a roar, transforming into countless golden characters, overwhelming, pouring into Qin Zi’s forehead.
"Ah——"
Qin Zi screamed miserably, almost collapsing to the ground, but Qin Chuan, quick on his feet, supported him.
After a while.
He returned to normal.
"What happened?"
Qin Chuan asked, feigning ignorance.
"Father, I seem to have... received a scripture, a very strong one..." Qin Zi spoke with a dazed look in his eyes.
"Let me see."
Qin Chuan put on a solemn expression, seemingly worried about his son’s safety, intending to check personally.
Qin Zi didn’t hesitate, directly transmitting the mysterious scripture he received to his father.
Suddenly, Qin Chuan’s mind was filled with a golden, dazzling scripture—"Divine Phoenix Immortal Scripture."
Good stuff!
This was Qin Chuan’s first thought; indeed, the strength of this scripture made his heart beat involuntarily accelerate.
However, he furrowed his brows tightly.
Seeming in contemplation.
After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, smiling, said: "There’s no problem with this technique, go ahead and cultivate it."
Qin Zi let out a breath of relief.
Qin Chuan gave it some thought, then advised: "Make the most of your time to cultivate; soon, something big is likely to happen again."
"Mm!"
Qin Zi nodded seriously, then returned to his cave abode, seizing every minute to begin dual cultivation.
Meanwhile.
In the distance.
Within an ancient ruin, two hooded figures were prying open coffins for benefits, suddenly paused.
The two exchanged glances.
The thin one said seriously: "Did you feel that?"
The chubby one blinked, asked: "What do you mean?"
"Uh... nothing, just suddenly felt like having a dump." The thin one nonchalantly shook his head.
"Heh, what’s the big deal, just take care of it on the spot." The chubby one waved his hand dismissively, nonsensically.
Then the two continued prying open the coffin.
But soon, the two simultaneously turned to look at one another, faces revealing a mutual understanding.
A mission?
What mission could compare to the thrill of kickbacks!
A business trip is just traveling, isn’t it? Going out, if you don’t eat well, drink well, and return with enough benefits, then why even bother stepping out?
Anyhow, the target isn’t going anywhere, why rush?
"Crack!"
The coffin was pried open.
Suddenly, a dignified aura surged out like a tidal wave, spectacularly, sending the two flying over ten meters.
"Whoa, didn’t expect that, this cemetery so shabby, yet inside lies a Divine King powerhouse, it’s truly fascinating."
The chubby one chuckled with interest.
"Guess he wanted to play the pig to eat the tiger, or perhaps, to hide from some enemy, deliberately burying himself in a remote corner."
The thin one calmly analyzed.
Meanwhile, the chubby one grinned wryly, remarked: "Heh heh, play the pig to eat the tiger? Encountering us, that really makes him a pig."
Walking forward, he cracked his knuckles, chuckling lewdly: "Let’s do it, strip this old man bare!"
Inside the ancient stone coffin laid a white-haired, bald, dignified elder, exuding an authoritarian aura without anger.
