242 Planning
divine might came, and the terrifying pressure was even greater than the pressure from the Taihuang Pavilion’s elder. Qin Chen could not help but frown.
However, he wasn’t someone who would give in easily. He looked at the elder with a deep gaze and said with a face full of apprehension, “Senior, before the forbidden grounds appear, I don’t intend to go to the nine Heavens. So, please forgive me.”
“You do have a backbone!” The elder of the Mystic Sword Sect snorted and his eyes were filled with admiration. Then, he continued, “Do you know who you killed?”
“A person who should be killed!” Qin Chen replied in a deep voice.
“He is indeed someone who should be killed. However, behind him is the Taihuang Pavilion, one of the three upper sects of the nine Heavens. Since you have killed him, they will come to deal with you in the future. The only one who can protect you is the Mystic Sword Sect!” The elder of Mystic Sword Sect had a proud look on his face. As an elder of the top sect among the three upper sects, he had the confidence to say such words.
Qin Chen frowned. He didn’t expect the person he killed to have such a powerful background. He wondered if the Heavenly Dao Mansion could protect him. However, no matter what, he wouldn’t leave the ten lands now. Thus, he rejected again, “Many thanks for the senior’s kind reminders, but I’ve already made up my mind, and I won’t change it.”
“Elder King, with your talent, you will only be able to soar in the nine Heavens. Staying in the ten lands will only bury you. As long as you follow me back to Mystic Sword Sect, I promise that you will become extremely strong and even have a chance to prove your path!” The elder of the Mystic Sword Sect was still unwilling to give up. He thought very highly of Qin Chen. After all, he had never seen anyone with the talent that Qin Chen had displayed in his life.
Seeing how the Mystic Sword Sect elder persevered, Qin Chen was a little embarrassed. He coughed with a flushed face, “Senior, I already have a plan for the future. Please forgive me.”
“You already have a plan?” Hearing Qin Chen’s words, the Mystic Sword Sect’s elder and the other elders were all shocked. Could it be that some big shot had already planned a future path for the Elder King?
Although they came from the nine Heavens, where the spiritual energy was ten times richer than that of the ten lands, none of them dared to underestimate the ten lands. After all, the ten lands had produced many extreme experts and had many orthodoxies left by great emperors. Although these factions rarely appeared, it did not mean that they did not exist. Once they appeared, they would definitely overshadow the nine Heavens.
The talent and combat power that the Elder King had displayed were already comparable to that of the young great emperors. If someone were to say that there was no expert behind him, the elder of the Mystic Sword Sect and the others would not believe it.
“I see. Then I won’t say anything more. The door of the Mystic Sword Sect will always be open to you. If you change your mind, you can come to Wangu Continent to find me,” After guessing that there was an expert behind Qin Chen, the elder of Mystic Sword Sect did not insist anymore. He left the Taiyi Holy Land after saying this.
The elders of the other factions did the same. After offering Qin Chen some incredible conditions, all of them left the Taiyi Holy Land.
Looking at their backs, Qin Chen knew that the elder of the Mystic Sword Sect and the others had probably misunderstood something. However, he did not clear it up. After all, if they thought so, it would reduce a lot of trouble for Qin Chen.
Looking at the injured Lu Feng and a large group of disciples who were badly injured, Qin Chen took out many precious medicines and healing pills. After the elders distributed them to everyone, he went to the spot where the Taihuang Pavilion elder had died.
As soon as Qin Chen got close, he felt great divine might. Although the Taihuang Pavilion elder was dead, he was still a God. Even in death, he was not someone ordinary people could get close to.
“Desolate Divine Halberd, suppress!” Qin Chen growled and activated the Desolate Divine Halberd with all his might. The weapon released its quasi-emperor might and floated in the air, channeling the power of the Great Path to suppress the Taihuang Pavilion elder’s corpse.
With that, the divine might disappeared, and Qin Chen easily arrived beside the corpse of the elder of the Taihuang Pavilion. Then, he took the storage ring from the corpse’s finger and unleashed a heaven-shaking Sagely might, obliterating the mark left behind by the elder of the Taihuang Pavilion.
Qin Chen checked the storage ring and couldn’t help but be surprised. There were many treasures in it. There were two divine weapons, many divine materials and ores, and many medicinal pills and precious herbs. It could be said that the elder was as rich as a country and owned even more treasures than Qin Chen’s collection.
At this moment, the Desolate Divine Halberd suddenly activated on its own and caught a wisp of white smoke. Upon closer inspection, it was actually the soul of the Taihuang Pavilion elder.
When one’s cultivation reached the God realm, one’s soul and spirit would be elevated. Even if one’s physical body died, one’s soul would still be able to unleash monstrous combat strength which was enough to kill a Supreme Sage.
Qin Chen did not dare to be careless. He activated the Chaotic Holy Body and used all his might to control the Desolate Divine Halberd to suppress the Taihuang Pavilion elder’s soul. Then, he summoned the Golden Roc Dao Fire to devour the Taihuang Pavilion elder’s soul.
Flames were extremely harmful to the soul. The Golden Roc Dao Fire contained the path of the ancient Roc Emperor. As such, the Dao fire could devour all spiritual power and be used to strengthen one’s body.
White smoke rose as the Taihuang Pavilion elder’s soul was continuously being devoured and refined. The might of the Golden Roc Dao Fire also became increasingly terrifying. At this moment, the Taihuang Pavilion elder’s soul suddenly begged for mercy and shouted, “Human Elder King, I was wrong before. Since you’ve already killed my physical body and taken my storage ring, why be so ruthless?”
“I’m sorry, senior, but I’ve always been someone who doesn’t take chances,” Qin Chen chuckled. The power of the Golden Roc Dao Fire became even more terrifying. The elder of the Taihuang Pavilion let out a blood-curdling scream before he was completely burned into ashes by the fire.
Qin Chen used his soul power to carefully examine the Taihuang Pavilion elder’s corpse. After making sure that the Elder King of the Taihuang Pavilion was truly dead, he then approached the body.
God realm experts were existences that were comparable to Gods. Not only were their souls strong, but their bodies were also extremely strong. After the death of a God realm expert, the spiritual power of their body would merge into a divine source. If it was refined, one’s cultivation would increase greatly.
Naturally, Qin Chen would not let go of such a treasure as the divine source. He wrapped his palm in Sagely might and placed it on the Taihuang Pavilion elder’s dantian. With a huge suction force, a basketball-sized and extremely bright divine source appeared in front of Qin Chen.
The aura of the divine source was extremely strong. It was comparable to the spiritual power of half a million kilograms of Divine Spirit Source. It was just floating in the air, but it was already shining brightly.
“So this is the divine source that is produced after the death of a God-realm expert? It was indeed a great treasure! It’s just a pity that it’s so little,” Qin Chen let out a soft sigh, his eyes bright as he stared at the divine source. A greedy smile appeared on his face. If he could refine this divine source, his cultivation would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
After keeping the divine source, Qin Chen put away God’s blood as well. He didn’t even let go of the bones of the Taihuang Pavilion elder. After all, they were good materials for refining weapons. After keeping everything, he left with satisfaction.
