The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 506
Chapter 506 Chaos Ancient City (2)
Among the three outstanding Patriarchs that appeared in the history of Chaos City, Patriarch Chaos was the strongest, and the Chaos Sutra he passed down was also the most powerful.
If Patriarch Primordial Chaos hadn’t died young and only lived for two to three thousand years, or else with his cultivation speed of crossing the Eight Tribulations of the Dao Realm early, there was a high possibility that he would have crossed the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation and become another supreme expert in the future.
However, although the True Chaos Scripture was the most powerful, it was also the most difficult to cultivate. One had to first combine the five elements into one before one could cross the most basic threshold.
This condition prevented the vast majority of people.
Thus, only a pitifully small number of people cultivated the True Chaos Scripture within the three meridians of Chaos City, and there were only a few dozen people in each generation.
Patriarch Hanshan was one of the few experts in Primordial Chaos City who had cultivated to the Void Realm with the Primordial Chaos Scriptures. Although his cultivation was only at the third level of the Void Realm, it was much more terrifying than the fourth level of the Void Realm.
Ever since Li Qing had fought against the two Void Realm experts of the Sword Sect a few days ago, he had gained a deeper understanding of the strength of the Void Realm experts of the Holy Land. How could he dare to underestimate them?
Sword Sect’s experts claimed to be the strongest in the world, far surpassing those of the same level. Chaos City, which was also a sacred land, might not be that weak. Moreover, Patriarch Hanshan was cultivating the most powerful True Chaos Scripture. There must be a reason for this technique to have such a great reputation. Li Qing might not be a match for this person.
It was extremely unlikely that he would be able to seize this holy medicine by force.
The most troublesome thing was that ever since Patriarch Hanshan had obtained the Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus, he would definitely carry it with him, not leaving his body for a moment. No matter how many tricks Li Qing had, it was impossible for him to steal the holy medicine from a Void Realm expert.
According to the information provided by Yin Qianyu, Patriarch Hanshan still had a killing weapon in his hand, and that was the treasure of the Chaos City-the Chaos Stone Tombstone!
There were a total of twelve Primordial Stone Tombstones scattered around Primordial City, suppressing all directions. All martial artists entering Primordial City would be suppressed by this precious treasure.
These stone tablets were left behind by Patriarch Primordial Chaos back then.
In fact, even after such a long time had passed, this treasure still hadn’t been successfully refined. It was only a semi-finished product.
According to what Patriarch Primordial Chaos had thought back then, each of the twelve Primordial Stone Tombstones had to reach the power of the Eight Tribulations Dao Weapon. The combination of the twelve chaos tablets was not inferior to the Nine Tribulations Weapon, giving him a chance to help him overcome the Nine Tribulations of Thunder.
Unfortunately, this idea hadn’t completely succeeded, and Patriarch Primordial Chaos had died in the Beast God Tribulation.
Before he died, he had only refined seven chaos stone steles, and the rest were semi-finished products, leaving it to his descendants to complete this unfinished business.
The descendants could be considered to be quite ambitious and did not forget this matter. After tens of thousands of years of refinement, these Chaos Stone Tombstones were almost completely formed. They had already been refined into eleven, leaving only the last one.
It was precisely because Patriarch Hanshan had obtained the acknowledgement of the owner of one of the complete Chaos Stone Tombstones that he was able to use its power. In Chaos City, he was almost invincible.
With this Chaos Stone Tombstone in hand, controlling a portion of the power of Chaos City would be extremely difficult even for a Dao Realm expert to seize the Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus by force.
“Since martial power is impossible to seize, what method should we use?” Li Qing felt somewhat distressed in his heart.
“Big brother, don’t be so worried. Let’s go find a place to sit.” Xiao Bai said crisply.
“Alright.” Li Qing calmed down and smiled.
They walked on the streets of Primordial Chaos City with a peaceful and peaceful aura. To be able to feel this way in such a large city, it had to be said that this was the foundation of the ancient city.
After walking for about half an hour, they entered an old teahouse.
As soon as he walked in, he heard that there was a heated discussion about him. It turned out that Li Qing’s battle with the experts of the Sword Sect a few days ago had finally been thoroughly publicized.
The experts of the Sword Sect did not hold back at all, announcing the results of this battle, causing the entire Eastern Region to stir up a storm.
“You know what? That Li Qing from a few years ago has actually returned!” Someone said loudly.
“Do you still need to tell me about this? I know about it as well.” “Not only is Li Qing back, he’s even stronger than before. He’s already able to contend against Void Realm experts!” Another person sneered disdainfully.
“Really? Is it really that mysterious?” Someone didn’t believe it.
“Of course it’s true. Could it be that the words spoken by the Sword Sect experts themselves are fake? The two Void Realm Sword Cultivators attacked Li Qing, but in the end, they were unable to capture him alive.”
“Are you kidding me? The Sword Sect’s experts are unparalleled in the world, much stronger than ordinary Void Realm experts. Neither of the two great sword cultivators was able to catch this person?”
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door. A boy ran in with a stack of papers in his hand and shouted, “The latest Earth Rankings is new. The latest Earth Rankings are new. There are major ranking changes. I will definitely not disappoint you!”
“Hurry up and give us one!” Everyone shouted.
Everyone hurriedly bought the list in their hands and looked down carefully. The entire teahouse instantly quieted down. Li Qing led Xiao Bai to the second floor and found a quiet seat to sit down.
“There seems to be no change in the rankings. It’s still those familiar names.” Everyone muttered to themselves. Generally speaking, if any new experts entered the Earth Rankings, they would usually appear behind them first.
“No, their rankings have all taken a step back!” Someone cried out in alarm.
“Quickly look at the one at the front. It’s not Gongsun Qi, the Divine Sword of Slaughter. The number one on the Earth Rankings has changed owners!” Another person cried out.
“Li Qing! Heavens, how could it be him?” Everyone exploded.
“Indeed, I’ve reached the top of the Earth Rankings! Ever since I heard about the battle a few days ago, I’ve guessed that Li Qing might reach the top!” Someone revealed a look of anticipation.
“Quickly read the introduction to Li Qing.”
Everyone looked over and saw that it read, “Number one on the Earth Rankings, Li Qing, is at the ninth level of the Xiantian Realm and has dual cultivation in the Dharma and Physique Realm.” He disappeared a few years ago and was suspected to be heading to the East China Sea. His alias was Han Tie, and he cultivated a powerful palm technique. Recently, he had returned to the Eastern Region and was surrounded by many experts from the Sword Sect. Li Qing first defeated Gongsun Qi with a single palm strike, then fought against the other two Void Realm Sword Cultivators for several hours, destroying thousands of kilometers of mountains and rivers. He left calmly, so he was ranked first.
“He defeated Gongsun Qi in one palm strike? No way, the Divine Slaughter Sword was defeated without any suspense?”
“To fight against the two Sword Sect Void Realm cultivators for several hours without a fight and leave unhurriedly, this is simply heaven defying.” An expression of disbelief appeared in their eyes.
Previously, the Sword Sect had only announced the results of this battle without giving any specific details. Therefore, everyone did not understand Li Qing’s strength very well.
They thought that Li Qing had managed to barely escape by relying on his heaven-defying flying speed. After all, he had done such a thing before.
From the looks of it, they had underestimated Li Qing’s combat strength.
“Could it really be the reincarnation of the Extreme Emperor? Back then, because of this title, I used to mock him for overestimating himself, but now he has slapped me in the face.” Someone sighed.
“If Li Qing can comprehend the unity of heaven and man and achieve the Void Realm, then the future is simply unimaginable!”
When Li Qing sat on the second floor and heard what they said, his face couldn’t help but be a little surprised. He was actually ranked first on the Earth Rankings? This matter was somewhat beyond his expectations.
“Looks like this ranking is fairly fair. There’s no dirt.” Li Qing thought to himself.
To be able to reach the top of the Earth Rankings would have a certain impact on the reputation of the Sword Sect and other powers. After all, the most powerful person came from a remote place. Compared to the Holy Land, his face would definitely be somewhat unbearable.
“There’s nothing delicious in this place. What are we doing here?” Xiao Bai muttered.
“Wait!” Li Qing said.
After a while, a gust of fragrant wind blew over and Yin Qianyu appeared in front of Li Qing.
“Why didn’t you ask someone to inform us when you came?”
“Didn’t you appear automatically?” Li Qing smiled faintly. The main reason he chose this restaurant was because this was the place where he had arranged to meet Yin Qianyu.
This also meant that this restaurant was actually the property of the Myriad Devil Sect!
“If I hadn’t seen the little girl beside me, I wouldn’t have recognized you.” Yin Qianyu rolled her eyes.
“Anyway, I’m not in a hurry. If you don’t show up, I’ll naturally go find you.”
Yin Qianyu took out the new Earth Rankings and said, “Tsk tsk, Number One Earth Rankings! Your strength has surpassed my imagination once again. I originally thought that you could only compete with ordinary Void Realm cultivators, but I didn’t expect that you would actually be able to fight two Void Realm Sword Cultivators head on.”
“Actually, I am far from being their opponent. It is only because my defense is stronger that I was able to leave unhurriedly.”
“Defense is also a part of combat strength.”
“Alright, cut the gossip. What do you think of that Patriarch Hanshan?” Li Qing asked.
“You’re very strong. You can’t be his opponent in Chaos City.”
“I also feel the same way. It seems that it is impossible to use force to seize the Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus. Do you have any breakthroughs in this regard?”
“There’s good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?” Yin Qianyu smiled.
“Let’s start with the bad news!”
“The bad news is that Patriarch Hanshan has gathered enough materials to start refining pills at some point in the future.”
“So fast?” Li Qing’s expression changed.
“It’s not that fast. It’s been many years since Patriarch Hanshan obtained the Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus. It’s enough for him to gather all the materials.”
“What about the good news?”
“The good news is that the pill that Patriarch Hanshan wants to refine is the Cleansing Spirit Immortal Pill!”
