Chapter 279: Chapter 201 Qi Refining Realm! Evil Qi! Add! [One more!]

The battle at the ancient relic, earth-shattering and heaven-stirring!

The Human Clan, Tribulation Ash, demons, Evil Spirits, all bizarre creatures, none could obtain the supreme town object!

This matter alarmed all directions and spread far beyond Qifeng Prefecture.

Up till today, it had been over seven days.

"Today is the time to thoroughly refine the supreme town object."

Lin Yan stood at this location of the old civil new township, slowly exhaling his breath.

He turned his head to look.

Behind him, there was an old man.

This was the new body Lin Yan had created for the last wisp of divine awareness of Lord Qingling, using the Body Creation Technique.

In those years, Lord Qingling, destroyed by Liu Venerate, transformed into nine Pure Lands.

Only the Golden Lotus, which housed the supreme town object, escaped into the void, wherein the depths, only at a special time, could the entrance to the ancient relic manifest.

"It’s about time."

Lord Qingling’s expression was normal, and he slowly said, "The remaining soul escapes, with a single thought lingering, existing for seven days before fading away, unable to linger."

"In the past, protected by the Golden Lotus, like time had stopped, with incense offered, it managed to survive."

"But now that the remaining soul has gone, and all the incense has dissipated, and with the Golden Lotus in your hands, having switched masters... it can no longer protect this old man’s vestige."

At this, he looked at Lin Yan and solemnly said, "This vestige of a soul, if encountered in the future, must not be spared; it must be utterly destroyed, otherwise, it will certainly become a major calamity."

Lin Yan pondered, "Lord Qingling protected the Human Clan until his death, how could his vestige of a soul become a major calamity?"

"In his later years, the hidden dangers of his cultivation infiltrated his own mind, thus inviting misfortune."

The old man lamented, "As death approached, the aura of adversity further affected him, leading to reluctance and regrets, adding to the thoughts of clinging to life and fearing death!"

He looked at Lin Yan and slowly said, "The Lord Qingling who was willing to die for the Human Clan, had already perished when he struck against the Old God... This vestige of a soul, is the manifestation of late-life omens, consider it an evil thought!"

"Understood."

Lin Yan nodded slightly, exhaling.

"In the past seven days, I have discussed with you the transformations within the Qi Refining Realm."

Lord Qingling sighed and said, "But even my cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm was imperfect back then."

Lin Yan mused, "Predecessor, you had already transcended the Qi Refining Realm back then, and fused with the Blessed Land, reaching the realm of a Divine Spirit, yet were still unable to completely eliminate the drawbacks of the Qi Refining Realm?"

"To refine Qi and transform into a God is the path to ascension to divinity."

Lord Qingling slowly said, "When I advanced to this realm back then, I thought I had eradicated the hidden dangers and suppressed the ill omens, but I never anticipated that the dangers were just hidden deeper."

"Once one’s strength wanes, or endures heavy damage, or approaches old age... the hidden dangers will emerge in an even more dreadful manner."

"An unstable foundation poses a risk of collapse, the higher the cultivation, the more irreparable the consequences when it collapses."

"Even after three thousand years, today’s path of Qi Refining is still imperfect."

"In today’s world, the Qi Refining Realm serves as a pillar of strength, yet in the future, this batch of pillars will, at the time of decay and old age, collapse with such force that it will shake the heavens and bring disaster upon the race."

As Lord Qingling spoke, Lin Yan fell into deep thought.

"So, the gap in the transmission of legacies between the era three thousand years ago and the present era occurred due to the collapse of a vast number of these pillars, leading to destruction?"

"In my later years, sensing something was amiss, I sealed off the Blessed Land, delaying the invasion of the peculiar night, and did not interact with the outside world for a hundred years," Lord Qingling sighed, "Eventually unable to reverse the decline, I chose to strike the Old God, relying on the Old God’s might to open up Pure Land... Your question, I cannot answer."

"So what about these old citizens?" Lin Yan fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.

"On first entering the Blessed Land, you all underwent tests, which were judgments of ’will and determination.’"

Lord Qingling said, "Those without strong will will inevitably lose control! Those with firm determination, at least in their prime years, will not lose control and can still maintain the Blessed Land! As for these ’old citizens’ you mentioned..."

Pausing, Lord Qingling then said, "Beneath the Abyss, less than twenty people survive! In consideration of this old man’s sentiment, give them a chance to live as much as possible."

Lin Yan shook his head slightly and said, "They themselves come from the forces of ’Tribulation Ash,’ intent on destroying the Human Clan’s settlements... Moreover, their own capabilities are not trivial, once awakened, they must be hidden dangers."

"They can’t wake up anymore."

Lord Qingling gently stroked his beard and said, "They have fallen into the ’Reincarnation’ within the Blessed Land, have washed away this life, and even if they become aware that they are not the same members of the Human Clan as before, they won’t identify with this life anymore."

"Predecessor, do you think I can consider that they are already dead?"

"If you put it that way, it makes sense."

"Playing the role of old citizens isn’t just a test, is it?"

"I have wronged them, so this is both a test and a chance for them to extend their lives in another way," Lord Qingling sighed, "These ten or more people should be considered as this old man’s descendants."

"Understood." Lin Yan nodded slightly.

"You said that the Human Clan’s generational legacy has experienced discontinuity," Lord Qingling slowly said, "Although they are but common people, some aspects from various areas, perhaps, can be passed on, even if it’s just a paper-making technique..."

"I will make arrangements for them."

Lin Yan gave a definite answer.

Lord Qingling, hearing this, smiled faintly, yet voiced a question, "Seven days have passed, has your True Qi recovered?"

"Almost, but unavoidably too slow."

Lin Yan frowned, "After True Qi is exhausted, the ’seed’ that remains can recover on its own, but does it really need seven days to recover?"

"Seven days, that’s already considering that your constitution isn’t bad."

Lord Qingling slowly said, "Actually, the original True Qi, based on one’s own foundation, refined from essence to Qi, recovers the slowest, of course, if you have treasures that enhance Qi-Blood, recovery could easily be expedited."
