The place to meet with the Shadow King was still outside that little forest building.
To be honest, Qing Yu actually did not want to go out at will right now. It was a bit distressing to have to go out before he could enjoy the convenience of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which had just arrived.
If it was up to Qing Yu, he would actually prefer to stay in seclusion until the end of time, or at least until he reached the peak of True Dan.
Unfortunately, one always had to repay a favour owed to someone. The Shadow King had invested so much, so he couldn’t be told to return it in blood.
”Luckily, I came up with a method like the Tongtian Giant Statue.”
Qing Yu shook his head slightly and walked into the small building.
This time when he saw the Shadow King, this king of the shadows, who was not known for his joy and anger, was rarely seen with a strong joy, and he said with a joyful smile, ”The usurpation of the Northern Zhou Dragon Vein represents the feasibility of the Returning Dragon Yi Ding Technique. Qing Yu, you have done my king a great favour.”
“But the situation of the Northern Zhou Dragon Vein is special, and Feng Jiuyu’s coincidence is difficult to replicate a second time.”
Qing Yu had to throw a pot of cold water.
The main reason why Feng Jiuyu was able to usurp the dragon vein was because the dragon vein had suffered heavy damage from the Heavenly Clouds Sword and was extremely weak to resist, so it had little resistance to the Dragon Returning Yi Ding technique Feng Jiuyu used.
What if it were the Dragon Vein of the Great Qian?
Even if it were the Shadow King, the chances of taking the Great Qian Dragon Vein by force would be slim to none.
After all, Great Qian is still in its heyday, and although none of its seven states can match the vast Northern Lands, the combined area of the seven states is at least two to three times that of the Northern Zhou.
In such a situation, how strong should the dragon veins be.
If the Shadow King were to rise up now, Qing Yu felt that there was genuinely little hope. What’s more, the Dragon Vein was only a subsidiary product that could help the Shadow King have an advantage, but not necessarily lead to his ultimate victory.
In a world where martial arts is the most important thing, it is the person, the strongest person, who really decides the victory. In Northern Zhou, for example, if Meng Shanhe had forcibly stopped Feng Jiuyu without regard for the lives of others, the chances of success would have been almost 100 per cent.
Meng Shanhe is ranked eighth on the Heavenly Ranking, while the rest of the people on the Heavenly Ranking are almost all within the Great Qian Frontier. Although those supreme beings are all of a selfish and exclusive nature, it is almost impossible for them to serve the Great Qian.
But if they can’t, they can still make friends. Who knows that Great Qian secretly has friendships with a few of the Heavenly Ranking’s most powerful people?
The Shadow King also saw Qing Yu’s worries and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I have waited for so many years, so there is no hurry.
Besides, the king is a god of martial arts and has a life expectancy of at least 500 years, so he can wait a few more decades. The time has not yet come, so the king will not move lightly.”
“Time?”
Qing Yu keenly grasped this word, “What is the time?”
“In two or three years short, in six or seven years long, the world will be in chaos.”
The Shadow King stood up, walked to the window with his hands in front of him, looked out at the quiet forest and said, “About three hundred and fifty years ago, a great master of celestial fortune predicted that in about fifteen hundred years, there would be a great calamity in the world.
However, the great catastrophe was also a great opportunity, and in this great catastrophe, there would be a great opportunity for people to live forever and immortality.”
“Immortality and immortality?” A great longing first arose in Qing Yu’s heart, and then, a helpless shake of his head.
One thousand five hundred years later, if Qing Yu could live until then, the so-called immortality should have been achieved long ago. If not, this so-called great opportunity would only be a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.
“This news is a real torture for those who aspire to live forever!” Qing Yu laughed bitterly.
“Who in the world does not want to live forever? It is time to say that it is torture for all. There are different degrees of torment, but the more powerful and profound the person, the greater the torment.” The Shadow King also laughed bitterly.
The stronger the strength, the longer it would take to obtain it, but even longer, it could not be as long as 1500 years later. The life expectancy of a strong person at the Tong Shen realm was only five hundred or so, and those who had secret techniques and precious medicines to temper them could only reach six or seven hundred at most.
This six or seven hundred is how far away it is from fifteen hundred.
“But I guess some people won’t give up, right?” Qing Yu said.
“You do read people well.” The Shadow King laughed, “I should say that those who know the news will basically not be willing to give up. Because the news was extremely secretive, those who knew about it were all at the Tong Shen realm, and they had the strength and ability to fight for this immortal opportunity, but unfortunately, they were not born at the right time.”
“At that time, endless methods of life renewal were researched, sealing fake deaths, taking over reincarnation, and some were even researching reincarnation, in order to, well, live until 1500 years later.”
“However, all these methods were abandoned after a certain conception was made.”
“What was the conjecture?” Qing Yu hurriedly asked.
If this conjecture was feasible, Qing Yu felt that he could also fight for it.
“Qing Yu, do you know the origin of the Devil’s Path, the original Devil’s Path?” The Shadow King suddenly changed the topic.
Er ——
Qing Yu felt the malice of the broken chapter.
However, other people’s Shadow King had a big fist, so he himself could only go along with his words.
“If I remember correctly, it was the Heavenly Demon Palace, the Blood Demon Cult, and the Southern Witch Cult.” Qing Yu returned helplessly.
“These three are known as the Three Devil Dao of Heaven, Earth and Humanity respectively. The very first lineage of the Devil Dao should be the Blood Demon Sect.”
The Shadow King said slowly, “In the ancient times, human martial artists fought for their lives against fierce beasts and fey beasts to gain a place in the world. At that time, the martial path of the human race was to take the blood of fierce beasts and eat their flesh and blood to strengthen their bodies. However, as the human race grew, the Qi training path developed and the fierce beasts became extinct, this original martial path was abandoned as a matter of course.
After all, the fierce beasts had all but died out, so who would be looking for the blood to draw from when practising this type of martial art?
However, there is always a shortage of creative people in the world. While the fierce beasts could not be found, the human race, which had developed throughout the world, was everywhere. Thus, the original Blood Dao martial art began to take shape.
As this Dao required drawing on the blood and fury and slaughtering all beings, it was known as the Blood Demon Dao also known as the Human Demon Dao.”
“The other two major devil dao’s begin with the Heavenly Devil Dao. Every 1,000 to 2,000 years, the heavens will show a vision and a heavenly evil will flow through the starry sky. This evil will also affect the human world, causing the evil to rise up in time.
At the beginning of the Qi training path, there were attempts to absorb the evil qi and refine it for one’s own use. Although it was very harmful to the body, there were some people who survived it and were able to use it to overcome their enemies.
Among these people, someone had the whimsy to try to pull the most ferocious Heavenly Furies that roam the starry sky for their own use ——”
“I suppose this person succeeded, otherwise there wouldn’t be the current Heavenly Demon Dao.” Qing Yu said.
“That’s right, he did succeed, becoming the first person in history to absorb the Most Fierce Heavenly Demon, and later people called him the Primordial Heavenly Demon, and the Heavenly Demon Palace equated him with the Taoist Yuan Shi Tian Zun, calling him the Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon.”
