Chapter 534: Chapter 533: Ganges Holy Land

Qin Feng returned to the City Lord’s Mansion, dragging the Pink Prince along.

With a THUD, the Pink Prince, Li Wuxie, was dropped to the floor.

Once the seal on his mouth was removed, he snarled with a venomous expression. "Qin Feng, how dare you harm me! Do you have any idea what kind of consequences you’ll face for provoking the Joy Sect? You’d better think this through!"

BANG!

Qin Feng flicked his great sleeve, and an unrivaled force shot out from it, violently slamming the Red Powder Prince’s body against a courtyard pillar.

SPURT!

Li Wuxie spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, more of it trickling from the corner of his lips. A look of terror appeared on his face.

With just one strike, most of the bones in his body had been shattered. He felt a terrifying sensation, as if his very soul was about to break apart.

Death was staring him in the face.

Li Wuxie lifted his head and saw the savage glint in Qin Feng’s eyes. He opened his mouth, but the fierce bravado on the tip of his tongue vanished.

He had a feeling that if he uttered one more threatening word, he would die.

"Pink Prince, you’re a smart man. I’m giving you a chance to live. Hand over the Yin Yang Refining Form Technique you practice."

The icy voice came from Qin Feng’s lips.

"I will only ask once. If you say no, I’ll snap your neck. So tell me, do you still have a chance to live?"

Li Wuxie was a smart man. He was arrogant, but he didn’t want to die.

He was one of the nine princes of the Joy Sect, a Sea of Reincarnation Realm expert with a lifespan of three hundred years. He was still young and had a limitless future ahead of him.

Without Qin Feng even needing to use any interrogation methods, the Pink Prince spilled everything like beans from a pod.

"City Lord Qin, I can give you the Cultivation Technique, but the Joy Sect has placed a Prohibition on it. Anyone who intentionally leaks the technique will suffer a backlash from the Blood River oath deep within their soul and be eternally damned, never to be reincarnated!"

"Hmph, a wise choice." Qin Feng wasn’t surprised. Every sect had special methods to protect its True Inheritance.

For example, when Qin Feng cultivated the Star Sect’s Mixed Element Star Technique, he had to swear an oath not to reveal the technique’s True Inheritance.

However, that didn’t mean there was no way to obtain such True Inheritances.

The Blood River oath was powerful, but not impossible to circumvent.

It just required paying a certain price.

In a later era, powerful experts had researched all sorts of Secret Techniques for this very purpose.

"Open your mind!"

The icy voice pierced his ears. The Red Powder Prince’s expression changed slightly, and after a moment, he closed his eyes.

Qin Feng sneered, stepping before him in a single stride. He grabbed the Red Powder Prince’s head and activated the Secret Technique.

「A moment later.」

The Pink Prince collapsed weakly to the ground, visibly melting into a pool of blood.

This was the backlash from the Blood River oath.

The scriptures for the first four layers of the Yin Yang Refining Form Technique appeared in Qin Feng’s mind.

The first layer of the Yin Yang Refining Form Technique corresponded to the Martial Arts Realm.

The second layer corresponded to the Condensing Vein Realm.

The third layer corresponded to the Sea of Reincarnation Realm.

The 4th Layer corresponded to the Nirvana Realm.

There were five more layers after that, each corresponding to a subsequent Realm.

Although the Red Powder Prince’s status in the Joy Sect wasn’t low, he only possessed the first four layers of the Cultivation Technique.

As he quickly skimmed through it, a look of delight appeared in Qin Feng’s eyes.

Even though it was only four layers of the Cultivation Technique, it was more than enough for him.

He sat down cross-legged and formed a Seal Technique with his hands. The scriptures for the first four layers of the Yin Yang Refining Form Technique flowed deep within his soul.

Within the scriptures, his soul seemed to split in two, transforming into two great True Souls—one yin, one yang—and generating Yin and Yang True Souls.

At the same time, a wisp of Innate Yin Yang Qi, hidden somewhere in his meridians, answered the call. It rose up from his meridians and silently merged into his soul.

As this wisp of Innate Yin and Yang Qi merged with his soul, it was as if Qin Feng’s soul witnessed the separation of Hongmeng, the dawn of creation when yin and yang were first established.

...

「In a massive palace within the Star Sect.」

This palace seemed to be located in the depths of countless Star Rivers. The starlight that shone in was so dense it was almost tangible, making the hall resemble the palace of a Demon God.

Inside the grand hall, twenty-seven figures stood like eternal constellations, their brilliant auras and the dense starlight reflecting off one another.

All of the Twenty-eight Constellation Peak Masters were present, with the sole exception of the Peak Master of Niu Jinfeng.

"Everyone, we have received news from Yunhu City, Taiwu City, and Zen Forest City. In Zen Forest City, Shenxiu has established initial control. He has already dismantled most of the eight remnant clans hidden in the Western Desert. The rest are no longer a threat."

"Mm, Shenxiu is quite something. He is truly worthy of being chosen by the ancestors of Zen Buddhism. He is a crucial part of our Star Sect’s alliance with the ancestors of the Pure Land Zen Sect this time."

The Pure Land Zen Sect. In Ancient Times, the Pure Land Zen Sect was one of the Seventy-Two Orthodox Sects, serving as the Zen Ancestral Court and ruling over countless Zen temples.

It was one of the Ten Great Ancient Divine Gates, but the Pure Land Zen Sect was later destroyed by the gods, and Zen Buddhism was annihilated.

From the words of the Star Sect’s Peak Masters, it seemed the ancestors of the Pure Land Zen Sect had not yet perished.

It seemed they even had some connection to the Star Sect.

"Shenxiu is a promising seedling. His comprehension, aptitude, and talent are all peerless. It’s just a pity!"

"It’s unavoidable. Our Star Sect has been expanding its influence too quickly. The Top Ten Sects, and even the Top Ten Divine Gates, are wary of our rise. As the saying goes, ’The tree that stands tallest in the forest will be the first to be broken by the wind.’ Behind our sect’s explosive growth lies a sea of crises. We need the support of the Zen Buddhism ancestors!"

The atmosphere in the grand hall grew heavy.

"Damn it all! The Qian Kun Dharma Sect has been acting up too much lately, and so has the Beiling Sect! That pack of treacherous, profit-driven dogs! If not for their obstruction, we would have flattened the borders of the Barbaric Wilderness long ago! And those freaks from the Ninth Grade Demon God Hall also dare to dream of halting the Star Sect’s advance!"

"That’s right! That bunch of bastards from the Beiling Sect! If it weren’t for the Star Sect’s support, how could they have possibly defeated the Great Sun Divine Hall? I’ll wipe out that bunch of fence-sitters from the Beiling Sect sooner or later!"

The two Supreme Great Powers were seething with indignation.

"You two, no need to be angry. This was all within our expectations. Since we were able to support the Beiling Sect, we naturally have ways to keep them in check. The most important thing right now is to ensure the geniuses in our sect can grow up smoothly. As long as these reincarnated constellation geniuses mature, we will sweep away all obstacles in a single battle!"

"Correct. We must restore the glory of the Ancient Primordial Star Sect!"

The Star Sect was inherited from the Primordial Element Star Sect, one of the Ten Great Ancient Divine Gates. This was something the Seventy-two Sects were all exceptionally clear about.

Unfortunately, the Primordial Element Star Sect suffered from internal strife back then and splintered into more than ten branches.

The Star Sect was the main lineage among them.

Just then, another Supreme Great Power spoke up. "Ye Ding is also progressing smoothly in Taiwu City. The chaos around Taiwu City has basically been quelled. Ye Ding truly possesses great ambition and strategy. He has managed Taiwu City so well that it’s now as impregnable as a fortress, and it already has the makings of a great citadel!"

Another Supreme Great Power added, "That boy Ye Ding is indeed excellent. He possesses great Qi Fortune, turns misfortune into blessings, and has a resolute character. In the future, he will surely become a pillar of our Star Sect!"

As he spoke, his tone shifted. "Both Shenxiu and Ye Ding, our two Sealed Marquis Geniuses, have performed well. I just wonder how that First Marquis is doing. I hear Yunhu City borders Cloud Lake, which is the territory of the Sea Demon Clan. Let’s hope he doesn’t come running back with his tail between his legs, begging for reinforcements!"

This Supreme Great Power clearly didn’t think highly of Qin Feng, and his tone was laced with a hint of mockery.
