Chapter 69 Refining the Ninth Grade Pill
Chen Qing hooked his finger, and the invitation flew from Wang Haifeng's hand into his grasp.
The words, "Tianji Auction," appeared before Chen Qing's eyes, written in gold ink.
Chen Qing had never heard of the Tianji Auction, as he, like Xia Qingyue, had only recently stepped into the martial Dao world.
"The Tianji Auction is the largest auction in the Lower Realm of the Tianxuan Continent, held once every ten years, jointly hosted by the Ten Great Auction Houses, and features countless treasures," Wang Haifeng introduced.
He also stated that the entire Zheng Yi Sect had only received two invitations, and one of them was immediately dispatched to Chen Qing upon receipt, just to show how loyal he was.
Chen Qing looked at the invitation in his hand, and after Wang Haifeng's explanation, he indeed developed some interest in the Tianji Auction.
He considered it the perfect choice for earning wife-pampering rewards.
The Ten Great Auction Houses, while seemingly cooperating, were actually using this opportunity to showcase the strength of their own auction houses, so there would definitely be no shortage of treasures.
If Xia Qingyue took a liking to one or two items, buying them for her would certainly count as pampering his wife.
"You have a good heart," Chen Qing accepted the invitation.
Just as he was thinking about how to reward Wang Haifeng's loyalty, he changed the subject, "Does your Zheng Yi Sect's Pill Refining Room have the medicinal herbs capable of refining Nine-Rank Pillss?"
Since Xia Qingyue was busy Cultivating, Chen Qing thought it would be a good opportunity to refine some Advanced Medicinal Pills to enhance her cultivation, and incidentally, earn some higher-quality rewards. If he could get hundreds or even thousands of Nine-Rank Pillss, it would be a huge profit.
"Replying to Master, yes, we do!" Wang Haifeng nodded, then looked troubled, "It's just that none of the Alchemy Masters in my Zheng Yi Sect can refine Nine-Rank Pillss."
Kneeling and cupping his fists, he said, "Please give me some time, Master. Your subordinate will definitely find an Alchemy Master capable of refining Nine-Rank Pillss as soon as possible!"
"No need for such trouble, take this Emperor to the Pill Refining Room," Chen Qing said, rising.
"Yes." Although he didn't know the purpose of Chen Qing's visit to the Zheng Yi Sect's Pill Refining Room, Wang Haifeng, as a slave, didn't think much of it. All he thought about was following Chen Qing's orders.
Seeing Chen Qing open a teleportation gate to the Zheng Yi Sect with a flick of his hand, Wang Haifeng perceived something and tentatively asked, "Master, is this perhaps the Space-Time Sacred Body, ranked sixth on the Three Thousand Physique List?"
"Oh! You have quite good eyesight," Chen Qing nodded in affirmation, "Indeed, it is the Space-Time Sacred Body."
"As expected of my Master, to possess a Supreme Saint Body!" Upon confirming this, Wang Haifeng's loyalty increased even further.
He did not consider giving up his dignity to serve another to be a shameful act. Others who wished to serve Chen Qing wouldn't even have this opportunity.
Being able to cling to such a peerless powerhouse, in the future, even if Chen Qing said nothing, just knowing that the Zheng Yi Sect had already been brought under his command meant that even the most powerful Cultivators would have to consider whether they had the qualifications to offend them, just as one must consider the owner before hitting a dog!
The Supreme Saint Body, coupled with Chen Qing's extraordinary talent displayed earlier at the Qingcheng Sect, made Wang Haifeng firmly believe that Chen Qing would sooner or later ascend to the Emperor Realm.
Little did he know, Chen Qing had already entered the Great Emperor Realm.
As for his self-proclamation as 'this Emperor'? Wang Haifeng simply thought it referred to the 'Emperor' of a kingdom, not the 'Great Emperor' of a cultivation Realm.
In a flash, the two emerged from the teleportation gate and arrived in front of the Zheng Yi Sect's Pill Refining Room.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
Waving his hand to dismiss the passing Disciples, Wang Haifeng accompanied Chen Qing and gestured, "Master, this way, please."
'Master?!'
Only when they heard these two words come from their Sect Master's mouth did the Disciples dare to confirm that the rumors were true: the Zheng Yi Sect had indeed become a dog under someone else's command.
If it were truly some top-tier powerhouse, they would naturally obey.
But when they saw that the one their Sect Master was subservient to was a Cultivator of their own age, they couldn't help but be filled with questions.
They couldn't understand what virtue or ability Chen Qing possessed that could make Wang Haifeng, known for his domineering nature, willingly act as a dog.
"Have you figured it out?" someone asked.
"I'm still wondering if you've figured it out," the asked Disciple shook his head, "Anyway, I haven't figured it out."
"Sigh, his visit to our Zheng Yi Sect's Alchemy Pavilion this time is most likely to empty out all the top-tier Medicinal Pills inside. We'll probably have to tighten our belts from now on."
Thinking of this, everyone sighed repeatedly.
Meanwhile, Chen Qing, led by Wang Haifeng, had already arrived at the chief Alchemy Master's private Pill Refining Room.
Wang Haifeng generously stated, "Master, you may take anything inside here. If anything is missing, your subordinate will immediately find it."
Chen Qing did not rush to reply. His Divine Sense covered the entire Pill Refining Room, and he shook his head, "These are enough."
Then, he instantly moved to the Earth Rank high-grade Pill Furnace.
He reached out and stroked it, "Not bad, it's a good furnace."
"If Master likes it, please take it," Wang Haifeng quickly said.
In his eyes, anything belonging to the Zheng Yi Sect belonged to Chen Qing. He could take whatever he wanted without anyone's permission.
Chen Qing did not reply. He had already opened drawer after drawer of medicinal ingredients from a distance, gathering them before him.
Then, he lit the spirit wood and began to refine pills...
Seeing this, Wang Haifeng suddenly realized, 'Is Master planning to refine pills himself?'
After understanding this point, another question emerged in his mind, 'Master also knows Alchemy?'
If Wang Haifeng remembered correctly, the Medicinal Pill Chen Qing mentioned earlier was a Nine-Rank Pills.
Upon closer inspection, the medicinal ingredients Chen Qing had chosen were indeed those used for refining Nine-Rank Pillss.
'Is Master a Ninth-Grade Supreme Alchemy Master??'
Wang Haifeng was uncertain.
Chen Qing didn't care what he thought or how he viewed him. He focused on refining Nine-Rank Pillss.
This concerned enhancing Xia Qingyue's cultivation and earning wife-pampering rewards, so he could not be careless.
What Chen Qing wanted were Ninth-Grade Dao pattern Medicinal Pills!
An unknown amount of time passed.
Footsteps hurried.
The Pill Refining Room door opened, and the chief Alchemy Master of the Zheng Yi Sect burst in.
Wang Haifeng saw the bad situation and immediately stepped forward, "Lin Dan Shi, my Master is refining pills. Do not disturb him!"
"Peak Master, are you crazy? You actually let him refine Nine-Rank Pillss! Not to mention how rare these medicinal herbs are, if the refining fails and the Pill Furnace explodes, the entire Pill Refining Room will be razed to the ground!"
There were too many things to complain about, so much so that Lin Dan Shi forgot to complain about Wang Haifeng's address for Chen Qing.
The Sect Master of a dignified Ten Great Sects actually called a young brat... Master??
"Since Master has done so, he naturally has his intentions. You and I need not say more; just stay quietly by the side and observe," Wang Haifeng's attitude was firm.
..." Lin Dan Shi's brows were tightly furrowed. Never had he wanted to crack open Wang Haifeng's head and see what was inside more than now.
He strongly suspected that Wang Haifeng had gone into Qi Deviation from Cultivation!
However, very quickly, Lin Dan Shi no longer thought that way.
A rich Medicinal Pill fragrance assailed his nostrils!
Even a simple sniff would make his spiritual sea boil and excite him endlessly.
Lin Dan Shi quickly looked up, wanting to confirm.
The result deeply shocked him, "Pill, the pill condensation was successful!!"
***
Chapter 70 Wait for me to come out and make you invincible
'Success?!'
Seeing Lin Dan Shi's eyes nearly pop out of their sockets, Wang Haifeng's gaze immediately returned to Chen Qing.
Sure enough, he saw seven golden Nine-Rank Pillss, radiating with dense Dao rhyme, fly out of the Pill Furnace!
He had a strong feeling that as long as he took one such Medicinal Pill, the Bottleneck that had troubled him for more than ten years might just Break through in an instant.
Suddenly, Wang Haifeng seemed to discover something else and looked at Lin Dan Shi, "Lin Dan Shi, what's flowing on that Medicinal Pill, could it be Pill Patterns?"
"..." Lin Dan Shi remained silent, appearing as if petrified.
Through this, Wang Haifeng was 100% certain that the radiant glow on the Medicinal Pill's outer shell was indeed Pill Patterns.
Otherwise, Lin Haoran, who was at least a Sixth-Grade Alchemist, wouldn't have shown such a distraught expression.
"Nine-Rank Pillss, formed in one go! And they are 100% Pill Pattern grade. This, this has already surpassed the Realm of a Ninth-Grade Supreme Alchemist!" It was a long while before such a sentence finally escaped Lin Haoran's lips.
"Sect Master, you, where on earth did you find such a Prodigy?" Lin Haoran still wore a dull expression, as if he had lost his Three Ethereal Souls and Seven Corporeal Spirits.
"This..."
Should Wang Haifeng tell Lin Haoran that he had originally gone to Qingcheng Sect to win Chen Qing over to Zheng Yi Sect, but was then thoroughly subdued by the other party's power, forcing him to make a Heavenly Dao oath to permanently submit?
He couldn't bring himself to say it.
Chen Qing heard every word of their conversation but paid no mind.
Seven Nine-Rank Pillss weren't enough to satisfy Chen Qing's ambition; he continued to refine!
As this process continued, Lin Haoran, a Sixth-Grade Alchemist, had his worldview and understanding forcibly refreshed by Chen Qing again and again.
He realized for the first time that there were people in this world who could achieve 100% Pill formation and 100% refinement of top-tier Pill Patterns!
He thought that this alone was enough to prove Chen Qing's power.
Who would have thought that Chen Qing would then, relying on his extraordinary understanding of medicinal herbs, break the impossible by using the Dao of complementarity to refine a Ninth-Grade Divine Pill from Eighth-Grade medicinal herbs!
Even with his own eyes, Lin Haoran couldn't help but wonder if he was hallucinating due to excessive fatigue from continuous Alchemy over the past few days.
He silently recited a calming mantra, but the scene before him remained unchanged.
Lin Haoran still didn't believe it and pinched himself hard.
"Hiss!" It hurt so much that he grimaced, sucking in a sharp breath.
Thanks to this, Lin Haoran became convinced that everything before him was absolutely not an illusion, but was truly happening and unfolding.
"Pill God! He is a living Pill God! An existence who is expected to surpass the Alchemy Ancestral Master! No, I even suspect he is the Reincarnation of the Pill Ancestor!"
Listening to Lin Haoran's self-talk beside him, and seeing him recognize his master's power, Wang Haifeng, as a loyal subordinate, couldn't help but puff out his chest and slightly raise his chin, a look of pride appearing on his face.
He almost had the words "See? This is the power of my Lord" written on his face.
Chen Qing remained focused on Alchemy, treating everything external as air, ignoring it all...
If he was going to make a splash, he had to make a big one!
At the same time.
Ye Feng, who was in seclusion in Da Mang Mountain, finally ushered in his protagonist moment.
[Do you wish to perform daily check-in?]
Facing the System prompt that popped up before him, Ye Feng's answer was without the slightest hesitation.
"Check in!"
[Checking in...]
[Check-in successful! Congratulations to the host for acquiring a Three Thousand Physique: Heavenly Saint Body! Three Thousand Physique Ranking: 233!]
"A Physique! And it's a Physique ranked two hundred and thirty-three! I'm rich now!"
Ye Feng truly didn't expect that this check-in would bring him such a big surprise from the System.
He knew very well what Awakening a Physique meant; even if it was just a trash Physique ranked three thousand, it was still a Prodigy that surpassed countless ordinary Cultivators.
No matter how trashy, it was still a Prodigy!
Not to mention, it was a Physique ranked over two hundred among the Three Thousand Physiques.
Fearing it was all a dream, Ye Feng opened the System backpack and confirmed the binding.
[Heavenly Saint Body binding successful!]
After binding the Heavenly Saint Body, Ye Feng couldn't wait to Cultivate.
After a while, he opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and excitedly declared, "It truly lives up to its name as a Physique ranked among the top five hundred; it actually doubled my Cultivation speed!"
"Others rely on the Heavenly Dao's favor, one in a billion, to have a chance to Awaken a Physique, but I can obtain Physiques through System check-ins. Who else can do that?"
Ye Feng was overjoyed, eagerly anticipating checking in for even higher-ranked Physiques in the future, such as a Saint Body in the top one hundred.
Or even a Supreme Saint Body ranked in the top ten!
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, unable to stop his anticipation.
He raised his hand and wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, "No, no, calm down, hurry up and Cultivate, improving my strength is what's important!"
Thinking that perhaps once he Broke through to the Great Emperor Realm, he could emerge from seclusion early.
He had been suddenly teleported to Da Mang Mountain, and no one knew about it.
Although Ye Feng didn't doubt Xia Qingyue's feelings for him, he was afraid that Xia Qingyue might misunderstand that he had died and, under pressure from the imperial family, agree to marry someone else.
Just thinking about the possibility of emerging from seclusion with unrivaled Cultivation only to find his childhood sweetheart had already given birth to Dragon and Phoenix twins with someone else, Ye Feng's Qi became unstable, nearly leading to Qi Deviation.
"Impossible! Xia Qinyue would never betray me! Even if I truly died, she would definitely guard my tomb for life!"
Ye Feng even worried that after Xia Qingyue confirmed his death, she might, due to excessive grief, do something foolish like trying to follow him.
'Xia Qinyue, please don't do anything foolish, wait for me, you must wait for me! When I emerge from seclusion, I'll take you to conquer the world!'
Thinking this way, Ye Feng became even more motivated to Cultivate.
...
Zheng Yi Sect.
Pill Refining Room.
Chen Qing looked at the total of one hundred and three Nine-Rank Pillss in his hand and felt it was enough.
He also rewarded one to Alchemist Lin Haoran and one to Wang Haifeng.
To reward Wang Haifeng's loyalty and to secure Lin Haoran's allegiance.
Even if Lin Haoran wasn't willing to be loyal to him, most of the Medicinal Pills were his private stock, and since he used so many of his Medicinal Pills, giving him a Nine-Rank Pills was reasonable.
"Many thanks, Pill God Sir!" After receiving the Medicinal Pill, Lin Haoran knelt to express his gratitude, truly treating Chen Qing as the Pill Ancestor Reincarnated.
"Thank you, Master, for your Heavenly grace!" Wang Haifeng knelt even faster, his loyalty surging.
Now, even if the Heavenly Dao oath became invalid, he would willingly follow Chen Qing, never betraying him.
"Rise," Chen Qing said.
"Thank you, Pill God Sir."
"Thank you, Master."
The two rose upon hearing his words.
Chen Qing saw that the time was right; it was already dawn.
He decided it was time to return to Chen Residence to see Xia Qingyue.
After claiming the Medicinal Pill rewards, he would take her to the Tianji Auction.
However, before he could even open a spatial teleportation gate,
A panicked voice of a Disciple came from outside the door, "Sect Master, no, this is bad! The Demonic Cult has suddenly attacked and wants to assault our Zheng Yi Sect!"
***
Chapter 71: Sword Out, Ten Thousands Died
The Demonic Sect, to put it plainly, is either a faction that has conflicts of interest with the Righteous Path Sects.
Or it's the true Demonic Sect that, for the sake of Cultivation, resorts to any means, wantonly harms living beings, and uses sacrificing others as a method to improve.
The right to define is always in the hands of the Righteous Path. Are there no true Demonic Sects within the Righteous Path? Not necessarily.
Chen Qing had already made a decision in his heart about why the Demonic Sect had suddenly attacked when he heard about it from a Disciple of the Zheng Yi Sect.
It was 100% because of the Nine-Rank Pillss he had refined!
Nine-Rank Pillss, coupled with their quantity and the quality of their Pill patterns, were enough to trigger celestial phenomena, with purple Qi coming from the east.
If not for the Ten Great Sects already being brought under his command, it's estimated that it wouldn't just be the Demonic Sect coming now.
"Pass on my order, gather all Disciples, and resist the Demonic Sect!" In front of his master, as the Sect Master, Wang Haifeng reacted very quickly and made a swift decision.
But when he finished giving the order and turned to look, Chen Qing, who should have been beside him, had vanished without a trace at some unknown point.
He appeared on the spire of the Pill Refining Room, one step ahead of the Zheng Yi Sect Disciple.
A single thought of Divine Sense covered the entire mountain gate area of the Zheng Yi Sect.
"Hmph, quite a lot of people have come." Under Chen Qing's Divine Sense, the Disciples of the Zheng Yi Sect and the people of the Demonic Sect were clearly distinguished, their surrounding Spiritual Qi colors completely different, one red and one blue.
To seize the Medicinal Pills, the Demonic Sect had sent over ten thousand people. Although the Zheng Yi Sect had dispatched many Disciples for worldly experience, tens of thousands of Disciples still remained within the Sect.
Upon learning of the Demonic Sect's arrival, the Zheng Yi Sect Disciples reacted quickly, already gathered outside the mountain gate, waiting only for an Elder's command, ready to fight the Demonic Sect at any moment.
And the people of the Demonic Sect, led by their Elders, approached with a strong Aura of killing intent.
A great battle between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out!
At this moment, a sudden drastic change above their heads attracted the attention of both groups.
"Heavens! Where did so many swords come from? There must be at least several hundred thousand of them!"
"Quantity is secondary; the lowest quality of these swords is Yellow Rank High Grade, and there are even Heaven Rank Peak ones!"
"Who on earth has such great ability to control so many Divine Swords at once!"
"It's astonishing! Even with my current Cultivation, it takes all my concentration to control a single sword. To simultaneously control hundreds of thousands of High Grade Divine Swords, is such terrifying Mental Energy truly something the Human Race can achieve?"
Before the Disciples of the Zheng Yi Sect could figure out who the expert controlling the myriad swords was.
Those two hundred thousand Divine Swords had already transformed into a hundred-zhang Iron Dragon, shining with a sharp edge capable of cleaving even heaven and earth, and charged towards the Demonic Sect.
The Demonic Sect's proudly boasted rapid Cultivation methods and Cultivation were useless at this moment.
Under the onslaught of the sword rain, they were instantly torn to shreds!
In the face of absolute strength, let alone resisting, they didn't even have a chance to strike.
Over ten thousand Demonic Sect members, under this single strike, instantly turned into blood, completely staining the several thousand steps leading up to the Zheng Yi Sect, making them extremely conspicuous, flowing down layer by layer.
Seeing this, the Zheng Yi Sect Disciples who had originally intended to eliminate the Demonic Sect immediately felt their hearts chill.
It wasn't because they regretted losing the opportunity to achieve merit, but rather, they realized how vast the distance still was between themselves and the word "strong."
Let alone these ordinary inner and outer court Disciples, even those Genius Disciples present who were usually called Prodigies, their eyes were dim at this moment.
After a long while, they dazedly squeezed out a sentence, "This is too exaggerated…"
The others also chattered, one after another, discussing.
"What a… what a handsome Move!"
"These swords are enough for me to study for a lifetime."
"A lifetime? Be more confident, even if you're given ten lifetimes, you wouldn't learn it!"
"The Peak of the Dao of the Sword is nothing more than this, right? Do we still have such a person in the Lower Realm?"
After slaying over ten thousand people from the Demonic Sect, the Sword Dragon returned the way it came, and the two hundred thousand swords were all collected into the Azure Heaven Sword Domain by Chen Qing using a black hole in his palm.
Thanks to this, following the direction the Sword Dragon returned from, the Zheng Yi Sect Disciples' gazes focused on Chen Qing.
"Look! On the top of the Pill Refining Room tower, those swords were released by him!"
"He looks to be of similar age to us, how can he have such terrifying accomplishments?"
"You also said, he only 'looks' similar. In reality, he might be an old monster of the Dao of the Sword who has Cultivated for tens of millions of years, found a way to disguise himself, or simply reverted to youth."
"This senior is truly so elegant, perfectly matching the image of the Sword Immortal in my heart! If I could become his Dao Companion, what a fortunate thing that would be."
"Become his Dao Companion?" She looked him up and down, "Do you even deserve it?"
Although the Senior Sister he was commenting on at this time held the title of the Zheng Yi Sect's most beautiful, the Disciples didn't find anything wrong with his words.
In terms of beauty alone, she was more than enough for others, but to be worthy of Chen Qing, their chosen Sword Immortal, she was still a hundred and eight thousand miles short.
This world does not lack peerlessly beautiful women, but powerful Sword Immortals are one in a trillion!
The Senior Sister who was retorted wanted to argue back, but upon sensing the unanimous agreement of the crowd, she wisely shut her mouth, not wanting to make a fool of herself.
Of course, she understood this principle, it just sounded a bit disheartening to hear it spoken…
Back to Chen Qing, he was very satisfied with the power of this casual sword strike.
During this time, he did not deliberately mobilize Spiritual Qi, but simply manipulated the two hundred thousand swords to attack the Demonic Sect.
Who would have thought that they would be annihilated in one go?
He gained a clearer understanding of his own strength, realizing that he had still underestimated himself too much.
The next moment, Sect Master Wang Haifeng appeared beside Chen Qing and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you, Master, for taking action and eliminating the Demonic Sect for our Sect!"
Although Wang Haifeng was not afraid to fight the Demonic Sect, if a real fight broke out, casualties would be inevitable.
Chen Qing's single strike not only instantly annihilated over ten thousand Demonic Sect members, completely eliminating this threat, but also ensured that the Zheng Yi Sect suffered no casualties throughout the entire process.
It could be called a miracle!
Chen Qing told Wang Haifeng not to thank him. After all, the Zheng Yi Sect was also his, so it was only natural for him to protect it.
It was also through this conversation that the Disciples realized that Chen Qing was the mysterious expert from the rumors who had conquered the Ten Great Sects with his formidable strength!
Initially, when they heard that their Sect Master had made a Heavenly Dao vow to submit to another, these Disciples of the Zheng Yi Sect felt humiliated and indignant, thinking how could the head of the Ten Great Sects do such a disgraceful thing.
Now, after personally witnessing Chen Qing's power, they only regretted that the Sect Master hadn't led the Zheng Yi Sect to submit to him sooner.
Seeing that the Demonic Sect matter was resolved, Chen Qing felt it was time for him to leave the Zheng Yi Sect.
However, his hand was only halfway raised before it fell again.
***
Chapter 72 Rejecting the Demon Cult Leader
Clap clap clap!
The sound of applause preceded the person.
Then, a beautiful woman in a long black dress appeared out of nowhere in front of Chen Qing.
The skirt was embroidered with patterns resembling the Other Shore Flower, and in the eyes of Chen Qing, a Rebirther, this makeup and attire practically screamed, 'I am a Demonic Sect member, I am a villain.'
"To be able to casually refine Nine-Rank Pillss, and also be a sword Dao Genius, a rare sight in a hundred, no, a thousand years, this Seat is truly growing fonder of you," the woman said with a smile, captivating one's soul.
Literally captivating one's soul, with an extremely strong Gu-like allure.
It had no effect on Chen Qing, but on the other hand, Wang Haifeng, who was nearby, almost lost control of himself, his Dao Heart fluctuating, seduced by her charm.
After regaining his senses, he vigorously shook his head, silently recited a Clarity Mantra, and avoided looking directly into the woman's eyes, trying to stay clear-headed.
This further confirmed the fact that the woman was from a Demonic Sect, and he was certain that her status within the Demonic Sect was not low, otherwise, she wouldn't refer to herself as 'this Seat'.
Secondly, even though Wang Haifeng was the Sect Leader, he couldn't see through the opponent's strength and Cultivation Realm.
An unprecedented sense of unease immediately swept through his entire being.
"This Seat is the Leader of the Heartless Sect. If you willingly submit and become bound in matrimony with this Seat, whatever this Seat has in the future, you will have half," the woman extended her hand to Chen Qing, waiting for him to express his attitude.
As long as Chen Qing took her hand, the woman would consider it his agreement.
'Leader of the Heartless Sect?!'
Hearing these words, Wang Haifeng suddenly recalled something and quickly said to Chen Qing, "Master, be careful, this person is named Sect Leader Qin Wuxin, and rumor has it that she has already entered the Great Tribulation Realm by relying on evil arts!"
Sect Leader Qin Wuxin didn't mind Wang Haifeng exposing her as a Great Tribulation Realm Cultivator; instead, she was very happy that he made this public.
It just so happened to put some psychological pressure on Chen Qing, forcing him to comply.
However, Chen Qing's next sentence was somewhat beyond the Demonic Sect Leader's expectation.
"Heartless Sect? If there's no heart, how can there be talk of becoming bound in matrimony?" Chen Qing's words were a satire, implying that Sect Leader Qin Wuxin, as the Leader, had betrayed the sect's teachings.
Sect Leader Qin Wuxin was first stunned, then said, "This Seat is the Leader, and all right and wrong within the sect are naturally decided by this Seat."
"What's more, for a good man like you, what does it matter if this Seat betrays the sect's teachings and is scorned by the world?"
In short, Sect Leader Qin Wuxin was determined to have Chen Qing.
Moreover, the members of the Heartless Sect had already been slaughtered by Chen Qing with a single sword, so why bother adhering to the sect's teachings?
The dead wouldn't come back to hold Sect Leader Qin Wuxin accountable.
Sect Leader Qin Wuxin's idea was simple: as long as she could be bound in matrimony with Chen Qing and utilize his dual talents, what did it matter if she lost ten thousand sect members? Sect Leader Qin Wuxin was completely confident in establishing an even larger Empire!
"So, what's your decision?" Sect Leader Qin Wuxin raised her hand, inviting Chen Qing again.
"No interest, this Emperor already has someone in his heart," Chen Qing decisively refused.
[Successful Wife-Pampering! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a random reward: Heaven Rank High-Grade Devouring Heaven Demon Art + 1!]
Chen Qing was slightly surprised, not expecting that even without Xia Qingyue by his side, refusing others could trigger a wife-pampering reward.
The fact that refusing could yield rewards made Chen Qing, a Rebirther who had read various novels, inevitably think of a System that grants rewards for refusal.
At the same time, he also discovered that a brand new path for farming rewards had been opened.
"Oh! Am I not as good as her?" Sect Leader Qin Wuxin pressed.
Chen Qing shook his head.
Before Sect Leader Qin Wuxin could rekindle hope, she heard Chen Qing say seriously, "You are not worthy to be compared with her."
"..." Sect Leader Qin Wuxin.
Her mouth twitched, then she laughed, laughing out of anger.
The original coldness on her face gradually replaced by a hint of madness.
The pressure of the Great Tribulation Realm, terrifying like a tide, surged forth!
Engulfing Chen Qing and Wang Haifeng, along with all the Disciples of the Zheng Yi Sect.
"No matter, even if you don't agree, this Seat has ten thousand ways to make you submit!" Sect Leader Qin Wuxin intended to use Realm pressure to force Chen Qing into submission.
She also made a backup plan, opening her five fingers, and a black flame, like a shadowy ghost, appeared in her palm.
"Heart-Locking Curse!" Wang Haifeng recognized this evil method at a glance.
It was an evil art used to forcibly control a person.
If one dared to defy, a slight activation of the curse would cause the opponent unbearable pain and torment.
"Quite a lot of tricks," Chen Qing said unhurriedly.
Taking advantage of Sect Leader Qin Wuxin's display of her trump card just now, he had already Cultivated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to the Middle Stage with his top-tier Comprehension Ability.
High Comprehension Ability is truly capable of doing whatever one desires.
What about a Heaven Rank High-Grade Cultivation Technique? As long as more Comprehension Ability is generated, Chen Qing can still comprehend it in an instant!
"This Seat will give you one last chance. This matrimony, will you form it, or not!" Sect Leader Qin Wuxin's words, compared to before, carried a more commanding tone.
Chen Qing did not answer with his mouth, but directly unleashed the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.
Behind him, in everyone's eyes, an illusion of a world-destroying Demonic God descending upon the human Realm appeared!
From within the rolling black clouds, a large hand extended, like the Buddha's Five Finger Mountain, towering and pressing down on Sect Leader Qin Wuxin's head.
The dignified Demonic Sect Leader was powerless under the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.
Her arms and legs spread wide, forming a large 'X' shape, frozen in mid-air, unable to move.
She could clearly sense that her Cultivation was rapidly draining away, flowing towards that large hand.
"You Zheng Yi Sect claim to be a righteous sect, yet you actually use such a Demonic Technique that forcibly devours others' Cultivation!" Sect Leader Qin Wuxin painfully squeezed out this sentence from her mouth.
"The Zheng Yi Sect calls itself a righteous sect, what does that have to do with this Emperor?" Chen Qing snorted lightly.
Then he exposed her, saying, "You don't hate the Demonic Technique; you just hate that this Demonic Technique isn't being used by you."
Having one's inner thoughts seen through is very unpleasant, but compared to that, the feeling of losing all Cultivation is even worse.
Sect Leader Qin Wuxin's black hair, like her skin, was losing its vitality at a visible rate.
She quickly shouted, "Old Ancestor, save me!"
"Stop!" No sooner had Sect Leader Qin Wuxin's voice left her lips than another powerful and domineering voice immediately burst forth, tearing through the air.
Following that, Chen Qing keenly noticed a figure dressed in a blood-red robe rapidly approaching Sect Leader Qin Wuxin's side.
He wanted to rescue Sect Leader Qin Wuxin, but was forced to stop by the battle roar of the Devouring Heaven Demonic God.
"What a bizarre evil Cultivation Technique!" Just getting a little closer, the Old Ancestor immediately felt as if he had fallen into a quagmire, and his Cultivation uncontrollably overflowed, being absorbed by an invisible force.
"Old Ancestor, save me..." Sect Leader Qin Wuxin's voice grew weaker and weaker.
"If this Emperor doesn't show his Divine Might, do you really take this Emperor for a sick cat!" Seeing that Sect Leader Qin Wuxin would eventually be sucked dry and have her life force drained if this continued, the Old Ancestor became enraged.
He unleashed a terrifying Divine Might that shook the heavens and earth!
"Quasi-Emperor Realm!" Wang Haifeng's legs uncontrollably went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Who would have thought beforehand that behind this small Heartless Sect, there was actually a Quasi-Emperor Realm Old Ancestor overseeing it!
