BXBX NOVEL Chapter 223: Asking Questions.
But now, all of his confidence and his identity were useless right now. It was as fragile as paper against the young man in front of him.
The Old Taoist does not know the name and origin of Su Qin. Even the relationship between Su Qin and the True Monarch of the Eastern Sea was not clear. The only thing he understood was that Su Qin was a Peak Legend that condensed a Mini Domain.
Mini Domain!
Peak Legend!
In the overseas Martial Arts World, these words represent absolute strength. Especially when the two were combined, it was enough to overlook the entire overseas Martial Arts World.
A Peak Legend with a Mini Domain, even if all of the Major Sects sleeping Old Ancestors in this era were counted, I am afraid there was not much that could match such an existence.
What’s more terrifying was that Su Qin’s qi and blood were in a period of prosperity. Although the Old Taoist couldn’t see the true age of Su Qin, he felt that Su Qin was still far from reaching the end of his lifespan.
One must know that although Cultivation strength occupies the majority in a Martial Artist’s fight, the degree of one’s own qi and blood is also important.
“If Senior is in doubt, just ask. This Junior will not dare to conceal anything.”
The Old Taoist was determined. He had assumed the position of a Junior, and was respectful to the utmost.
In the eyes of the Old Taoist, although Su Qin looked young, but with such strength, he must be an old monster who had lived for 400 to 500 years.
Regarding looks…
For any Legend, eternal youth can be achieved with some insignificant means.
“Senior?”
Su Qin shook his head slightly. His true age had not reached fifty. He was not even a fraction of the age of the Old Taoist in front of him, and the latter was calling him Senior?
Just that in the Martial Dao, the strongest is the senior. So since Su Qin was far stronger than the Old Taoist in both strength and Cultivation realm, this ‘Senior’ title was fitting for Su Qin.
“What are you doing here?” Su Qin looked at the Old Taoist and asked.
Whether it was Mingyou or the other two people, even the Old Taoist in front of him, they were all Peak 4th Heavenly Layer Legends. Mingyou was half a step into the 5th Heavenly Layer.
Regarding such powerful powerhouses, the world (more like the continent where Su Qin was from) hasn’t even seen one in several eras, but now there was a group of them breaking into Ying State Monster Island.
“Senior.”
“We are here to find out how the disciples of our Sect got killed.”
The Old Taoist Priest pondered for a bit and organized his words, before finally whispering.
“Disciples getting killed?”
Su Qin had a thoughtful look on his face. He indifferently said: “Are they some 3rd Heavenly Layer Legends?”
“Exactly.”
The Old Taoist Priest was slightly surprised, and cautiously asked: “Senior, have you seen them?”
“I have indeed seen them.”
Su Qin’s tone was calm: “I was the one who killed them.”
Some time ago, several overseas Legends wanted to conquer Chang’an City. As a result, Su Qin left his seclusion and killed them. They must be the disciples that the Old Taoist was talking about.
“Senior…”
The Old Taoist’s face was flushed, he finally said: “It is their blessing to die in the hands of Senior.”
Even in the overseas Martial Arts World, a Peak Legend with a Mini Domain was rarely seen for hundreds of thousands of years. Those Major Sect disciples probably attracted the attention of Su Qin, leading him to kill them personally, which was enough to be proud of.
“Really?”
Su Qin still had an indifferent expression. He continued to ask: “Do you have a life extending treasure overseas?”
Su Qin looked at the Old Taoist Priest with interest. As early as when he was still in the Shaolin Temple, after Su Qin beheaded the Demon Buddha, he obtained a piece of animal skin, which recorded that the longevity aura from 800 years ago came from overseas.
Su Qin asked Yan Hai before, but the other party claimed that he did not know about it.
Su Qin was not surprised by this.
Anyway, even if it was overseas, it was impossible for every Legend to have a chance to get a life-extending treasure.
Yan Hai’s strength was not enough. His level of contact was definitely not the highest, so it was normal for him to be unaware of such things.
But the Old Taoist in front of him was a bit stronger than Yan Hai. Maybe he knew what the longevity aura was about.
“Overseas?”
The Old Taoist keenly grasped Su Qin’s words.
“Senior is not from overseas?”
The Old Taoist was dumbfounded, he found it too unbelievable.
Su Qin’s strength, in the eyes of an Old Taoist, exceeds most experts and only some of the sleeping Old Ancestors can compare. Originally, he thought that Su Qin was a hidden powerhouse overseas. But now, it seems that it was not like that at all.
“Where did Senior come from?”
The Old Taoist trembled and became even more respectful: “Senior, we do have life extending treasures overseas, but the number is extremely rare. At least the Legend Realm is needed to be able to withstand its medicinal power.”
“Also, each person can only take it once, which can prolong their lifespan for decades at most.”
The Old Taoist answered quickly.
“Legend?”
“Can only use it once?”
Su Qin shook his head slightly.
In fact, this was also normal. If you can continuously use it, then can’t it make people live forever?
“However, several decades are not bad. When I have the opportunity, I should go overseas.”
Su Qin thought to himself.
Although he currently had a thousand-year lifespan, even if the increase was little, it’s still better than nothing. Several decades of lifespan was absolutely precious. After all, Su Qin had only lived for several decades right now.
“I heard that your overseas Major Sects all have sleeping Old Ancestors, tell me about it.”
Su Qin seemed to think of something, and looked at the Old Taoist with interest.
Yan Hai once said to him that at least nine Old Ancestors were sleeping in the depths of Dao Yi Men. These Old Ancestors were the last resort of Dao Yi Men. Unless Dao Yi Men was in danger of being extinct, they would not wake up at all.
According to the information that Yan Hai knows, the sleeping Old Ancestors were at the 7th Heavenly Layer, even 8th Heavenly Layer, or Peak Legend – the 9th Heavenly Layer.
“Reporting back to Senior.”
The Old Taoist didn’t know what Su Qin’s question meant, so he could only suppress the anxiety in his heart, and answered truthfully: “In my Sect, there are indeed Old Ancestors who use a secret technique to fall asleep.”
“Secret technique?”
Su Qin’s eyes lit up.
“Yes.” The Old Taoist bowed his head respectfully: “Once this secret technique is used, one’s qi and blood will turn silent. At the same time, your Divine Sense will be the same, falling into a state of no thoughts.”
“This state can greatly delay the expenditure of lifespan, but at the same time, one’s potential will be imprisoned forever, losing the possibility of further progress.”
“Therefore, apart from the imminent end of lifespan, no one wants to use this secret technique.”
Reaching this point, the Old Taoist paused for a bit before continuing: “Also, if you want to use this secret technique to fall asleep, you must consume a lot of Heavenly materials and Earthly treasures. If an Ancestor is going to fall asleep, he has to dig out his family’s possessions, and it will take decades to recover.”
The Old Taoist gave a wry smile.
If this secret sleeping technique can be used casually, all of the Ancestors would have been sleeping, one by one.
“So that’s how it is.”
Su Qin slightly nodded.
Su Qin had actually seen the secret technique in the mouth of the Old Taoist. It was used by the five Shaolin Temple Holy Monks in the Shaolin Temple’s Back Mountain, where the Demon Buddha was sealed.
The five Holy Monks had slept across several ages through a secret sleeping technique.
It’s just that the secret technique used by these five Holy Monks to sleep was a bit different from the overseas secret sleeping technique. At least, they don’t need to spend so many treasures. Of course, the five Holy Monks needed to experience all kinds of torture during their deep sleep that it was actually better to just die.
Furthermore, the five Holy Monks died soon after they woke up. While, if the overseas Old Ancestors wake up, they seem to retain most of their combat power.
“So, is there an Earth Immortal sleeping?”
Su Qin narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly asked.
If even a 7th Heavenly Layer Legend can survive hundreds of thousands of years with this secret technique, what about an Earth Immortal?
If it was really this way, I am afraid that the degree of danger overseas was far more than Su Qin expected.
Although Su Qin had entered the 8th Heavenly Layer at this moment and had a couple of all kinds of trump cards that would allow him to fight those of higher Cultivation, but against an Earth Immortal…
Only when Su Qin Cultivated the [Burning Sun Divine Art] and can incarnate into a young Three-legged Golden Crow, being able to use Supreme-Yang True Fire and other terrifying Innate Divine Ability, will he have the confidence to defeat an Earth Immortal.
As for the others?
The Domain of an Earth Immortal had already reached the Great Accomplishment, covering several hundred li in one thought. If Su Qin really met an Earth Immortal, he would definitely turn around without the slightest hesitation.
“Earth Immortal? Sleeping?” When the Old Taoist heard this, he was taken aback, and then quickly said: “Senior surely jests.”
“An Earth Immortal’s Qi and blood is vigorous, their Divine Sense is vast as the void, how can they use such a secret technique?”
“Oh?”
Su Qin’s eyes flashed. He looked at the Old Taoist and said: “Tell me the secret technique.”
“Yes.” The Old Taoist immediately revealed the secret technique.
Anyways, the secret technique was not a top secret in the overseas Martial Arts World. Every Major Sect has it, and even some Rogue Cultivators also mastered it.
It’s just that even if the secret technique was not precious, if you want to really use this secret technique, you must be ready to pay a fortune. This alone was enough to deter almost all Rogue Cultivators from using it.
Apart from this, you also need to not be disturbed after you fall asleep. Otherwise you will not only forfeit your previous efforts, your life might even be in danger.
“It turned out to be a means of self-sealing.”
The secret technique was truthfully explained by the Old Taoist, to which Su Qin slightly nodded.
In Su Qin’s opinion, the secret technique mentioned by the Old Taoist was nothing but a self-sealing method that seals the sense of qi and blood and delays the speed of aging, that’s all.
This kind of self-sealing method was at best only useful to Legends. Once one reaches the Earth Immortal Realm, and his qi and blood is vigorous, why would you do all this work?
Even Su Qin felt that this secret technique might not be useful to him.
Now that Su Qin’s body had undergone five transformations, even if it was not as good as an Earth Immortal’s body, it must not be too far away. If Su Qin was willing, he could control the flow of his blood and easily break the seal of the secret technique.
