Chapter 14: I Have Lost My Worries

"Yezi, let's go."

Qin Sheng signaled for Ye Fan to leave, then said to Duan De

"Fellow Daoist, we have no interest in this Yin Tomb. If you wish to explore it, you should go down yourself."

"Do you have anything you need to entrust to me? It would be a pity to take all your treasures down there."

"Rest assured, when you come back up, I will return your treasures in full."

Duan De rolled his eyes. "I wouldn't dare trouble you."

Qin Sheng took Ye Fan and headed away, while Duan De continued to linger around the Yin Tomb.

However, they were unable to leave; the five great experts had not found the Desolate Pagoda and, suspecting it had been secretly obtained by someone, had sealed off the ruins.

Thus, Qin Sheng and Ye Fan stood in the distance, observing Duan De's actions.

The fat man was indeed bold; he dared to dive into the pool, and he immediately got into a conflict with a cultivator disguised as a disciple of the Yaoguang Holy Land.

Before long, the five great experts also locked onto the location of the Yin Tomb.

"Fellow Daoist Duan underestimates these people too much," Qin Sheng laughed.

These great experts were indeed blockheads, but that didn't mean they lacked real ability.

"The Desolate Pagoda must be in the Yin Tomb. Let's go down."

"Agreed. No matter how perfect a formation is, after ten thousand years, there will be flaws. This is our chance."

"The Demon Emperor is not omnipotent either!"

One great expert, radiant as the sun, looked at Duan De.

"Just now I heard you clamoring that the Holy Land disciples were nothing special. Very good, you have spirit. Come down with us."

Duan De's face turned green. "Senior, my cultivation is low..."

"You are not allowed to refuse."

The five great experts grabbed Duan De and plunged directly into the pool, with only the fat Taoist's heart-wrenching screams echoing through the heavens and earth.

Qin Sheng laughed out loud, and Ye Fan was also amused, asking

"Will that unscrupulous Taoist die?"

"No," Qin Sheng said with certainty.

"Even if everyone else dies, he will still be able to hop out alive. Don't underestimate him; he is not simple."

Ye Fan was surprised. "The Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb can't take his life?"

"The good die young, while the wicked live for a thousand years."

After a while, the Dao-pattern restrictions used by the five great experts to seal the world were forcibly broken from the outside, and more peerless experts arrived.

Qin Sheng turned around. "Let's go. The events that follow are not something we can participate in."

The Demon Emperor's tomb incident was far from over. Without seeing the Desolate Pagoda, these people would not give up, and Qin Sheng dared not continue to join in the fun.

The two took advantage of the night to flee rapidly.

"Where have you been this past year?" Ye Fan asked.

"I joined the Yaoguang Holy Land and practiced there for a year."

Ye Fan gasped. "That is one of the top Holy Lands in the Eastern Wasteland. The Lingxu Grotto-Heaven is like an ant in front of them."

"It is indeed not bad," Qin Sheng nodded, but he still reminded Ye Fan.

"In the future, remember to be careful of Yaoguang disciples."

"Ah?"

Ye Fan was stunned, not quite understanding the meaning of these words.

"Why? Haven't you already joined Yaoguang?"

"It is precisely because I joined Yaoguang that I discovered something was wrong inside," Qin Sheng said.

"The Yaoguang Holy Land is full of undercurrents and has major problems. Do not have a favorable impression of this Holy Land just because I am a disciple there."

"Stay away from all Yaoguang disciples; this is my advice to you."

Seeing Qin Sheng's serious expression, Ye Fan also became earnest.

"I understand. Will you be in danger in the Yaoguang Holy Land? Can you quit?"

Qin Sheng sighed. "It's already too late. Once you board some ships, you can't get off."

And he didn't want to get off.

To recast the glory of the Ruthless Empress—it is the duty of our generation!

Not the Ruthless lineage of others, but *my* Ruthless lineage!

"How are you doing?" Qin Sheng asked.

Ye Fan smiled helplessly. "Although I successfully opened my Bitter Sea, cultivation is still very difficult."

"Your talent is beyond doubt. The difficulty in making progress is due to a lack of resources," Qin Sheng said.

"Before reaching the Four Extremes, the Sacred Body has a terrifying demand for resources. Therefore, you must find a way to obtain as many resources as possible."

A Sacred Body requires a million catties of Source to reach the perfection of the Dao Palace, and ten million catties to support breaking into the Four Extremes—it is unimaginably terrifying.

One must know that a piece of Source the size of a fist is enough for a mortal body to break through at the Divine Bridge stage.

Ignoring bottlenecks, ten million catties of Source, if saved, would be enough for thousands of mortal bodies to reach the Four Extremes!

"I don't see much hope," Ye Fan sighed.

Qin Sheng: "I have some Source on me. I can share some with you, but it will only support your current cultivation. Further on..."

Qin Sheng could not afford to support an Ancient Sacred Body.

However, Ye Fan was still at the Bitter Sea stage; from the Bitter Sea to the Life Spring, and even to the Divine Bridge, it wouldn't cost many Source stones.

Giving him some Source stones without affecting his own cultivation was no big deal.

"How can I do that? You also need Source stones for cultivation," Ye Fan refused.

Qin Sheng smiled. "I am highly valued in the Yaoguang Holy Land; I have a surplus of things like Source."

Hearing this, Ye Fan was very envious.

"It's good to be a Holy Land disciple—having ancient scriptures and resources. One only needs to practice diligently."

In the original story, Ye Fan was an enemy of the whole world. Do you think he wanted that?

He had no choice!

He himself longed for the status of a Holy Land disciple, but by then, there was no turning back.

"Everyone has their own path," Qin Sheng said.

"Don't look at me as a Holy Land disciple now; there are gains and losses. I gained Holy Land resources, but I also lost some things."

"What?" Ye Fan asked.

"I lost my worries," Qin Sheng smiled.

"Damn."

Ye Fan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, before you arrived at the Demon Emperor's tomb, I obtained the Wheel and Sea chapter of the *Dao Scripture*. Pang Bo gave it to me."

"When we settle down, we will study it together."

Qin Sheng smiled with relief; he had not misjudged Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was a person who valued friendship and loyalty. As long as you were a friend he recognized, he wouldn't mind giving you an Emperor Scripture, the Nine Secrets, or even a divine medicine.

Compared to the *Dao Scripture*, the few Source stones Qin Sheng gave him were nothing.

A day later, the two appeared two thousand miles away, where there was a small town.

They entered the town, and Qin Sheng searched carefully until he found a small shop in a remote location.

An old man and a five or six-year-old girl with pigtails ran the restaurant.

The little girl was very cute; although her clothes were simple, she was full of vitality.

Ye Fan ordered some meat, complaining, "I've been eating medicinal herbs at the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven; I was almost bored to death."

Qin Sheng smiled and waved at the child.

The little girl blinked and asked

"Big brother, is there something you need?"

"What is your name?" Qin Sheng asked kindly.

"Tingting. My name is Jiang Tingting."

It was indeed her.

Jiang Tingting—a descendant of the Jiang family. Most importantly, she had the Yin Physique.

Looking at the entire universe, this was a special physique second only to the Sacred Body and the Tyrant Body, with infinite potential.

Once, a Human Emperor had the Yin Physique.

"A very nice name." Qin Sheng patted little Tingting's head and let her go.

"Surname Jiang."

Ye Fan sighed. "I didn't expect that two surnames that are very special in my hometown would be so noble here in Big Dipper."

Qin Sheng had already given him a general introduction to the situation of the powers in Big Dipper.

"Immortal, do you think the Jiang and Ji families here have any connection to our hometown?"

"I think so. After all, crossing the starry sky is by no means an isolated case," Qin Sheng said with certainty.

The Flame and Yellow Emperors on Earth were actually new lives formed by the spiritualization of the corpses of the Void and Hengyu Emperors.

Some people on Earth might even have the bloodlines of the Ji and Jiang families.

"Bang!"

Before the food arrived, an accident occurred.

A yellow-faced middle-aged man walked into the restaurant and kicked a chair away.

"Old immortal, why haven't you come out to serve me yet?" An arrogant and domineering voice rang out.

Little Tingting was so scared she ran to the kitchen, shouting

"Grandpa, the bad guys who rob our restaurant are here again!"

Qin Sheng was very annoyed because the chair the man kicked away had hit his and Ye Fan's table.

"Yezi, go, give him two slaps!"

Ye Fan did not hesitate; this middle-aged man looked like a bully.

*Slap!*

The middle-aged man was sent flying, spinning 360 degrees in the air before landing, his teeth knocked out.

The old man surnamed Jiang came out, his face anxious.

"Two guests, he is a steward of the Li family. You hit him, and the Li family will not let this go. You should leave quickly; the Li family has cultivators."

"Don't panic, old man."

A divine pattern shot out from Qin Sheng's body and stuck to the middle-aged man.

"Get back and tell the people of the Li family: if they don't come to apologize, they should prepare for a funeral."

The onlookers were in an uproar.

Clearly, this Li family lackey had no eyes and had provoked a cultivator.

The steward didn't dare to say anything and immediately fled with his lackeys.

"Old man, what is going on?" Ye Fan asked.

"Sigh," Old Man Jiang sighed, and little Tingting spoke first

"They are all big bad guys! They occupied our restaurant and come to eat for free every day, affecting our business."

"Grandpa and I are going to have nothing to eat."

Speaking to the end, little Tingting burst into tears.

Old Man Jiang added: "When Tingting's father was still alive, he practiced at the Yanxia Grotto-Heaven with a child from the Li family."

"That child from the Li family did an evil deed. Tingting's father couldn't stand it and intervened, creating a deep hatred."

"Later, Tingting's parents died accidentally under a Lightning Bird, and the Li family has been targeting us ever since."

"How vicious," Ye Fan said indignantly.

Qin Sheng remained silent. In fact, Tingting's parents had also died at the hands of Li family cultivators; the two sides had a blood feud.

"Young man, thank you for standing up for us this time, but you should leave quickly."

Old Man Jiang said: "The Li family's cultivators are very strong; don't let us implicate you."

"What is their cultivation level?" Ye Fan asked.

"It seems to be the Bitter Sea? Very powerful."

Ye Fan smiled. It was just the Bitter Sea.

Not to mention Qin Sheng, he felt he had nothing to fear.

"Don't worry, old man. If the Li family comes, we will handle it."

After eating, Qin Sheng and Ye Fan stayed next to the restaurant. They had an important thing to do.

"Where is it?"

"Wait for me to take it out."

"Let me touch it. *Hiss*, it's really hard."

"So dazzling, I feel like my eyes are going to go blind."

Qin Sheng and Ye Fan were studying the *Dao Scripture*.

It was a page of golden book with tens of thousands of characters on it. Each character was like a sun, difficult to look at directly, let alone comprehend the true meaning.

"Use the Bodhi seed," Qin Sheng reminded.

Ye Fan slapped his thigh. "Right."

He took out the Bodhi seed, held it in his hand, and cleared his mind. Looking at the golden page again, he had an extraordinary feeling.

The scriptures on it were acquired by him, flowing into Ye Fan's heart.

Then Ye Fan handed the Bodhi seed to Qin Sheng, letting him comprehend it as well. His gaze fell on the *Dao Scripture*, and each character turned into a star, crashing into Qin Sheng's heart.

A different kind of profound meaning enveloped Qin Sheng, completely different from the *Heaven-Devouring Demon Art*, bringing Qin Sheng another baptism.

After a long time, Qin Sheng woke up from his realization.

"It truly deserves to be called the strongest Wheel and Sea chapter scripture."

Ye Fan nodded joyfully. "It's too profound. How about it? Are you going to practice the *Dao Scripture*?"

Qin Sheng shook his head with a smile. "The ancient scripture I am currently practicing is no worse than the *Dao Scripture*. I don't intend to switch."

He had spent a great deal of effort to rebuild his Wheel and Sea and lay the foundation for the *Heaven-Devouring Demon Art*.

"What ancient scripture can compare to the *Dao Scripture*? This is the Immortal Canon of the Eastern Wasteland," Ye Fan doubted.

"Who created it, to be so arrogant?"

Qin Sheng: "..."

Your "sister."
