Ancient Ancestral Emperor

The endless loneliness and desolation seemed to be recounting the endless years and years that had passed here.    

He lightly stepped forward and continued to grope his way forward. His eyes were useless in here and even his mystical Qi could not penetrate it. At this moment, Qin Shaojie only felt that he was just an unremarkable mortal, and he finally understood why even saints would have to suffer in defeat here.    

Having lost the value of one's mystical Qi, the saint's methods were also greatly reduced. If there was some killing intent hidden within, it was only natural that he would be severely injured.    

Fortunately, Qin Shaojie was not afraid, he was urging his own Shi Hezi, even though it only caused a slight fluctuation in his aura, but this fluctuation was more than enough for the current Qin Shaojie, because this fluctuation was able to release Shi Hezi's aura.    

If this was really the place where the First House Master left his soul brand, then his soul would definitely be able to feel this aura.    

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light finally appeared at the end of Qin Shaojie's line of sight. Following that ray of light, they accelerated, and finally, a small-scale space that was like a house appeared before Qin Shaojie's eyes.    

However, this small space was enveloped by a seemingly gentle force, making it impossible to enter.    

Qin Shaojie attempted to use his own strength to forcefully break it open, but discovered that this barrier of energy contained an extremely strong backlash. The stronger he used it, the more violent the feedback force would be.    

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!    

And at that moment, Shi Hezi who was inside his consciousness, actually flew out without any guidance, and then fiercely crashed into the barrier, following that, an extremely strong suction force pulled at him, causing him to feel that his body was out of control, directly passing through the barrier and appearing in the space.    

As for the outside world, a barrier still existed.    

It had to be said that this kind of method was extremely peculiar and strange. Presumably, only those who truly possessed Shi Hezi could enter this place, otherwise it would be impossible for others to force their way in. When Qin Shaojie was a little surprised and curious about the methods left behind by the First House Master, they had actually managed to cause the three Saints to perish in there.    

When Qin Shaojie passed through the black tunnel that was previously so pitch black that there seemed to be no end, he had obviously sensed a few scattered corpses. If he was not mistaken, those corpses should be the Saints that had fallen here as mentioned by Tian Qiu.    

Saints were the most powerful experts in the world. Who would have thought that they would end up like this? It was enough to see just how powerful the barrier in the depths of the cave was!    

Junior Qin Shaojie greets First House Master!    

looked around and saw nothing. It was just a stone house, but Qin Shaojie was sure that there was First House Master's soul imprint inside. Therefore, he did not dare to show any disrespect when it came to etiquette.    

His voice was not loud, but he did not show any signs of panic or anxiety.    

Hehe, if you didn't come out, I would have suspected that something was wrong with my calculations before I died.    

As expected, not long after Qin Shaojie finished speaking, a voice filled with energy also resounded within the stone hut. Then, the relationship within the stone hut actually condensed into a state, and gradually formed into a spirit body before Qin Shaojie's eyes!    

The moment this soul body appeared, Qin Shaojie was already certain that the person in front of him was the First House Master that Tian Qiu and the others respected so greatly! This was because this soul body was exactly the same as the soul body he had seen at the bottom of Sky Sun Peak! If one must find something different, it would be that this spirit body was as solid as a real person. One could even clearly see the wrinkles on its face.    

If not for the fact that he knew that the First House Master had already fallen for hundreds of thousands of years, even Qin Shaojie would find it hard to believe that this was a soul brand, no matter if it was its true form or its voice, it would be hard to believe that it was just a soul brand left behind hundreds of thousands of years ago.    

Qin Shaojie did not dare to neglect them, as he respected them as well.    

Originally, I was on the verge of giving up, but luckily, you rushed over at the last moment.    

With a slight lift of his palm, a gentle force lifted Qin Shaojie up. Based on the lifespan that he had left behind, in at most another five years, his soul brand would disappear as well.    

He had been waiting all these years, but unfortunately, he did not receive any good news. Fortunately, Qin Shaojie appeared in the end.    

My name is Kong Wu, you can call me Elder Kong.    

Even Tian Qiu and the others were not clear about the name of the First House Master, as it was too long ago and Kong Wu did not want to leave his name behind either.    

Empty?    

As he said that in his heart, in Qin Shaojie's memories, no one in the Between the Heavens and the Earth had ever called out this name before.    

This was a true expert that had existed since the ancient times! The Between the Heavens and the Earth didn't have much contact with him.    

You have the aura of a soul fragment. Although it has been erased, it can't be hidden from me. It looks like you have dealt with the living meteorite.    

Looking at Qin Shaojie, Kong Wu also nodded.    

With his eyesight, he was naturally able to discern Qin Shaojie's strength and talent in a single glance. A Sky Origin Stage at twenty-four and twenty-five years old, this kind of talent was actually not weak at all. Furthermore, to be able to obtain Shi Hezi's acknowledgement, it was sufficient to say that he wasn't simple. After all, those who managed to obtain any of Shi Hezi's possessions back then, had all become the strongest practitioners in the Tian Yuan Continent!    

As long as Qin Shaojie lived, then his achievements might not be lower than his in the future.    

Regarding the matters of the Sky Sun Peak and the remnant soul, Qin Shaojie had also told it to Kong Wu Guang verbatim. After all, in front of such an expert, any form of concealment was completely useless.    

However, what Qin Shaojie said was not surprising to Kong Wu Xia. The remnant spirit had completed its mission and turned into pure energy, which Qin Shaojie could use at the most crucial moment to activate it.    

That portion of energy is enough for you to reach Peak of the Sky Origin Stage in a short period of time. However, you don't seem to be in a hurry to refine it. Even though it was only the energy of the remnant soul, it contained his own insights into the martial way and possessed a vast amount of energy. Not to mention Qin Shaojie, even if any one of them were able to refine it, they would definitely benefit greatly from it.    

What made Kong Wu Kong surprised was that Qin Shaojie had placed that surge of energy within his mind, without any signs of wanting to refine it. This seemed to be a little different from ordinary warriors.    

Disciple still has some matters that I haven't dealt with, so I'm not in a hurry.    

It wasn't that Qin Shaojie didn't want to refine it, but he couldn't refine it right now. Once he refined this wave of energy, his strength would definitely be able to increase by leaps and bounds in a short amount of time, but that would mean, without a doubt, accelerating the fusion of Qin Shaojie's body and nine profound veins's powers, which would raise his strength.    

Therefore, Qin Shaojie had to wait, wait until he kills Wei Ning himself, then he would start refining this energy!    

He wanted to become a star-struck, and even more so, a Spirit Master!    

No matter what happened, Qin Shaojie couldn't change his mind.    

Of course, Qin Shaojie did not tell this to Kong Wu Kong. Fortunately, Kong Wu didn't pursue the matter.    

Anyone who could obtain Shi Hezi's acknowledgement was no ordinary person, regardless if it was their temperament, methods or abilities, they did not need to worry about nothing.    

Since you have obtained my inheritance, you should know that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Since you were able to obtain Shi Hezi's acknowledgement, you must have a good temperament and are also a smart person. After pondering for a while, Kong Wu continued to speak.    

I know you have a lot of questions, and I'll tell you all of them. But before that, there is one thing I need to ask clearly. After all, I don't like to force others to make things difficult for me. With a change in topic, the empty tone became a bit more serious.    

Senior, please instruct me that I will do my best within my capabilities. Qin Shaojie cupped his fists. He already knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The reason why Tian Qiu and the rest of the people from the Futian Pavilion recognized him as their Young Master was because they wanted to stabilise the living meteorite, but the reason why Shi Hezi chose them, or perhaps the reason why no one chose him, was different.    

However, this was also the answer that Qin Shaojie was truly curious about and looking for all these years.    

At that time in the Nine Regions of the Forest of Demons, he did not receive an answer, but now he had to get to the bottom of this.    

Enchantment!    

The three short words that came out of Tian Qiu's mouth also stunned him!    

Demons were a powerful race that ruled the world during the Primordial Era. After the Four Divine Beasts came the world of the Demons. They commanded the Hundred Races to become supreme existences. Even if the humans allied with the Hundred Races, the Blood-Soaring Tian Yuan Continent would not truly destroy the demons. It was said that the demons had only retreated to an independent world and were sealed within it.    

Even after so many years, the rumors about the demon race never dissipated.    

As one could imagine, the strength of the demons had reached such a terrifying level!    

But Qin Shaojie had never thought that at the time when there was no demand, it would actually be to become a demon!    

Once a demon became an enemy of the entire human race, Qin Shaojie did not care about that, but he cared about the people around him, so it was likely that not many people would be able to accept the existence of the demons. If you are not from my clan, then your heart will be destroyed! This concept had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.    

Hehehe, the reason for being a demon race is not for you to join one. Rather, you have to enter the demon territory to find something!    

Shaking his head, it was clear that Qin Shaojie misunderstood him, and then he laughed.    

Even if he was willing, he was afraid that the demons would be unwilling.    

That group of fellows were too arrogant. In Between the Heavens and the Earth, the other races were of low level in the eyes of the demons, and were not worthy of being their members. Not just humans, but any other race!    

Hearing this, Qin Shaojie slightly heaved a sigh of relief. After entering the Demon race, this matter was probably not as simple as he thought.    

Once the seal was broken, the fact that he could enter meant that the demons could enter!    

By then, the world would be in chaos.    

You want to go to the demon race to find something, it's this kind of Shi Hezi that I inherited.    

Ignoring Qin Shaojie's worry, Kong Wu Dao continued. But when he mentioned Shi Hezi, Qin Shaojie's entire face trembled!    

Between the Heavens and the Earth had a total of three Shi Hezi s. No matter what method you use, you have to gather all three Shi Hezi s. And one of the three Shi Hezi s was distributed amongst the demons! So, no matter what, you have to think of a way to get that Shi Hezi.    

Kong Wu continued, and when Shi Hezi was mentioned, his voice was also exceptionally serious, not faking it at all.    

Three Shi Hezi s?    

The senior from the Nine Regions of the Forest of Demons had also said this, but unfortunately, he did not explain the origin of the third box.    

But hearing what Kong Wu said, Qin Shaojie's heartbeat also fiercely sped up. Could it be that the other Shi Hezi within his mind, was from the Demon race?!    

Senior, are the three Shi Hezi s the three that you have left behind on the island in the Endless Sea, the one in the Nine Regions of the Forest of Demons's place, and the one in the hands of the demons? As he took in a deep breath, Qin Shaojie's voice trembled slightly.    

As he said so, his pupils suddenly lit up!    

Because, what Qin Shaojie said, were all correct!
