Chapter 1011 - 961: The Elder of the Heavenly Dao

This is the Cangqiong Continent!

This is the Cultivation World!

Never before have words touched Cao Tianye, Yuan Sanqing, and the Supreme as profoundly as did Qin Fan’s.

Listening to Qin Fan’s seemingly casual words, they realized just how narrow their previous worldview had been.

Is this the dimension where the Six Paths Immortal and the leader survive?

As the thought emerged suddenly.

Their downward-looking eyes changed once more!

From this moment on, the land beneath them would become their soil for survival, a soil destined to be harsh and treacherous!

"Enough, there’s no need to say too much! Senior Brother, find them a place to settle! Life and death are fated, wealth is ordained by heaven, and the life experiences of every superior on the Cangqiong Continent are devoid of protection and care. Power is fought for! Survival is killed for! The Cangqiong Continent cannot tolerate flowers from a greenhouse!"

Qin Fan could sense the mental activities of these three, but he remained unconcerned; his words, albeit harsh, were the truth.

"Young Qin, may I know why you call me senior brother?"

Raising his tough and elegant eyebrows, Six Paths finally asked the question that had puzzled him for quite some time.

As for Qin Fan asking him to arrange matters for the three, even if Qin Fan hadn’t said it, he knew what to do.

After all, on this soil of the Cangqiong Continent, he had clearly stayed longer than Qin Fan.

"Go ask the Elder of Heavenly Dao! I address him as master!"

Tossing aside these words.

Qin Fan stowed away his Prison Fire Stick, turned on his heels, and swiftly left.

And under these words, Six Paths was taken aback with disbelief!

The Elder of Heavenly Dao?

Qin Fan is actually the master’s disciple?

In other words, isn’t he my junior brother?

Could it be that during those five hundred years, Qin Fan became the master’s disciple?

But if that’s the case, how to explain the timeline?

How to explain the time lapse between the Cangqiong Continent and Earth?

Confusion set in, Six Paths was utterly bewildered!

In light of Qin Fan revealing he was the Elder of Heavenly Dao’s disciple, Six Paths could find no logic or association in the midst!!

Gazing at the direction where Qin Fan’s figure had long vanished, Six Paths furrowed his brows deeper, knit bit by bit!

But still, he could think of no clue whatsoever.

A moment later.

"Six Paths Immortal?"

The old man from Kunlun spoke awkwardly and anxiously.

"Follow me down!"

The aimless thoughts interrupted, Six Paths snapped back to reality.

He waved his hand towards the lower end of the three.

Instantly deprived of True Qi’s support, the three from the Supreme plummeted swiftly.

....

Shura Venerable has returned!

Shura Venerable has returned!

Shura Venerable has returned!

This news spread like a plague rapidly after the intense battle at Qingcheng Mountain.

Centering at the Fire Origin Country, in less than half a day it had traveled throughout the entire Cangqiong Continent!

Some rejoiced, some worried.

But unquestionably, those who were happy about this news were women and more women.

Those women who had once had fleeting affairs with Qin Fan all started crying upon hearing the news.

As for those sects and kingdoms that Qin Fan had once trampled upon, they could hardly sit still!

"Wasn’t he wiped out under the Ninety-Ninth Layer of Ascension Heavenly Tribulation? How could he resurrect? How could heaven allow such defiance of the rules?"

"What, what did you say? Rumors outside claim his Cultivation Realm has regressed back to Nascent Soul Early Stage?"

"No, no, it can’t be! Historically, never has it been seen that someone could resurrect after being wiped out under Ascension Tribulation! Was he not actually dead under the tribulation back then?"

"You’re saying he returned from that mysterious vortex passage above Qingcheng Mountain in Fire Origin Country? Weren’t many naive cultivators yearning for opportunities there? What happened to those people?"

"If he’s at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, why didn’t the Fire Origin Country’s cultivators kill him immediately? Something’s not right, not right at all!"

"This matter reeks of eeriness! Send the order out, all sect disciples must return! Regardless of whether this news is true or false, keep an eye on things for now!"

Just the news of Shura Venerable’s return instantaneously plunged the entire Cangqiong Continent into chaos.

The broad continent and its Five Kingdoms, all were agitated and coming up with various contingency measures.

After all, the name "Shura Venerable" was too terrifying!

Countless sects had been bloodily cleansed by him.

The Five Kingdoms, treated as his backyard, suffered immeasurable humiliation.

The wronged souls he had slaughtered without mercy could fill up Hell Abyss.

Under such circumstances, how could the Cangqiong Continent remain stable!

Famous people cast shadows, just like a tree.

Looking at the entire Cangqiong Continent, apart from those who love him, almost everyone hates him.

Undeniably, those five hundred years, Qin Fan lived on the Cangqiong Continent creating a legend.

A demonic legend.

Withered vines, old trees, and dark crows.

Small bridges, flowing streams, and quaint houses.

Ancient paths, the western wind, and lean horses.

The setting sun falls; a heartbroken person roams the ends of the earth.

Away from the noise and vengeance, within a street village.

A peaceful scene vividly demonstrates the poem from Earth.

This is a village untrodden by cultivators.

Because it’s poor.

Because this place is the most impoverished corner of the Cangqiong Continent.

Gathered here are ordinary people as ordinary as can be.

They experience birth, aging, sickness, and death, lacking the Divine Skills to move mountains or cover rivers with one palm.

They don’t even qualify to absorb Spiritual Energy.

No phenomenon of immortality will appear here, but the ordinary people living here feel no discomfort.

No matter how battle-hardened or killed the Cultivation World gets, it will never affect here!

This place is the most peaceful spot on the Cangqiong Continent.

Yet, this peace is heaven for ordinary people, but hell for cultivators!

It’s due to these myriad impoverishments that even kingdoms are reluctant to bother.

No tax pressures, self-sufficiency, self-reliant, it’s absolutely what the few simple people of the Cangqiong Continent desire most.

Unlike the cultivators, they are merely ordinary folk tilling the land. If they lived in the cultivators’ world, unforeseen disasters would undoubtedly be unavoidable.

Just such a village.

In that scene reminiscent of the poem Tian Jing Sha · Autumn Thoughts.

Two old men with silver hair sat facing each other under the setting sun.

Between them was a stone table, upon which was placed a Go board, incomprehensible to the children of the village.

"Haha, any more moves? If not, I’ll slay the dragon!"

If Qin Fan or Six Paths were there, they definitely wouldn’t find the elder unfamiliar.

He, precisely the Elder of Heavenly Dao whom no one knows how many years he’s lived.

"One misstep leads to every misstep! Never expected you placed a piece under my nose! Five hundred years passed, I barely noticed, so careless, so careless indeed!" A sigh and bitter smile came from the elderly opposite.

This piece referred to Six Paths.

However, before the Elder of Heavenly Dao could respond, he spoke again, "But I refuse to yield, truly refuse to yield! Awakening inheritance in the Underworld was an accident. Losing to an accident, I feel unaccustomed!"

"Don’t be unaccustomed, for you’ve lost utterly! None of this was an accident! Would you like me to tell you?"

Seeing the elder’s unabashed defiance, the Elder of Heavenly Dao laughed.
