Chapter 259 A Lifetime of Regret
After getting away from the mining area, Qin Sheng did not go to the Jiang family immediately.

He entered the Great Wilderness, took out the Stone King he had obtained from the Originium Mine, and planned to cut it open to see what amazing treasures were inside.

"In mythology, a person with three heads and six arms is a deity, representing power and divinity."

Qin Sheng examined the Stone King, comparing it to some of the information he knew about the Source Techniques.

Jin Shanshan came closer, circling around the Stone King, looking him up and down with great curiosity.

“In my childhood, I also obtained a similar stone in the Immortal Abode,” it said.

There is also a small amount of divine source liquid forming inside the immortal abode, which is definitely present in source stones as well.

"What did you cut out of the stone?"

“A small dragon,” Gilgamesh said.

"I ate it, and it tasted pretty good."

"A dragon?" Qin Sheng exclaimed in surprise.

"That was actually a drop of blood that transformed into the shape of a real dragon," Gilgamesh explained.

"After swallowing that drop of blood, my bloodline changed, giving me the characteristics of a true dragon."

It's not that Gilgamesh can't speak normally, he just likes to spout nonsense.

But after enduring so much psychological manipulation, Jin Shanshan has started to publicly support Qin Sheng.

Ancient beasts are ancient beasts; how could they possibly outmaneuver despicable humans?

"I never imagined you had such an experience," Qin Sheng exclaimed in admiration.

"This is me, the noble and blessed Gilgamesh." Gilgamesh raised his head.

It was very satisfied with the name that the little girl had given it.

Qin Sheng made his move and cut open the three-headed, six-armed stone king. With just a light cut, a dazzling light burst forth.

The stone skin fell off naturally, and a ball of light automatically rose into the air, radiating an aura like the origin of heaven and earth, never to sink.

"What a vast divine source."

Qin Sheng softly uttered the name of the object before him.

The Stone King with three heads and six arms is only covered by a layer of stone skin on the surface; the inside is all divine source blocks.

The size of this stone king is about the same as that of a normal human being; such a large divine source is priceless.

Ordinary sources are no longer useful for cultivation in the Sendai Secret Realm, but divine sources are different; they almost never become obsolete.

This is a derivative of the origin of heaven and earth.

"Human, you have some discernment."

Golden Flash breathed in the divine energy, revealing an expression of enjoyment, but it did not attempt to claim it for itself.

This damn bird has only one hobby: showing off.

Unlike the Black Emperor, who couldn't resist stealing even dog poop on the roadside and was insatiably greedy, it didn't covet any treasures.

This is a bird with principles.

Qin Sheng pulled the divine source over, his gaze moving over the humanoid divine source's chest and head.

It's true that divine resources are precious, but the Stone King couldn't possibly contain only this.

"Two things..."

On the chest of the humanoid deity is a heart-shaped fruit; inside its head is an even more dazzling luminous body.

"Judging from this, could it be that divine sources can also communicate with spirits and possess life?"

Qin Sheng was a little surprised. Was this humanoid divine source going to nurture his own heart and brain?
He carefully sensed it and confirmed that it was purely divine energy, without any signs of life.

Qin Sheng used his Source Technique to first seal the Divine Source to prevent its power from being lost when retrieving the treasure later, and then took out the heart-shaped fruit.

As soon as it appeared in the world, a powerful heartbeat resounded. Every expansion and contraction of this fruit was accompanied by a mysterious Daoist rhythm that spread outwards and then receded inwards.

"The Sacred Path Source Fruit?!"

Qin Sheng recognized the origin of the fruit and couldn't help but laugh.

"What is this?" Jin Shanshan asked.

The birds in the celestial abode are confined to a small area of ​​eighty or ninety thousand miles from birth, and have little knowledge of the world.

The compassionate Dongxian, considering Jin Shanshan's merit in pulling the cart and his previous act of shielding him from the living fossil, told him about this item.

"This is a priceless treasure that can only be created in a place where a sage has attained enlightenment, with only a tiny chance of being born. It..."

The transformation of a sage into the Dao is a process of returning the Dao to Heaven and Earth.

During this period, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth merges with the Great Dao of Sages. If a miracle occurs, a "Dao Fruit" will condense, which is the Sacred Dao Source Heart Fruit before Qin Sheng's eyes.

After consuming this product, one will have an opportunity to comprehend the Dao, as if returning to the moment when a sage attained enlightenment, and directly comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

One can imagine how much this could bring.

However, benefits and risks go hand in hand. After consuming this "Dao Fruit," one's self-awareness may be directly scattered by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, turning one into a living dead.

"It's a good stuff, actually."

Gilgamesh expressed his approval.

Qin Sheng carefully put away the Sacred Dao Source Heart Fruit and looked at the head of the humanoid divine source, where the light shone the brightest.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, the head is always more important than the heart; the primordial spirit of the Sendai is the foundation.

If there's a Sacred Source Heart Fruit on his chest, wouldn't the treasures in his head take off?

"This is..." Qin Sheng was somewhat confused.

The treasure in the skull was an irregular, multifaceted crystal whose color constantly changed, sometimes blue, sometimes red, like a revolving lantern.

Qin Sheng couldn't tell what it was, so he extended his divine sense to touch it. The next second, a vast heavenly sound resounded in his ears.

"The three superior medicines, spirit and vital essence, are vague and indistinct, profound and mysterious. Preserving nothingness and guarding existence, they are completed in an instant, the returning wind and mixing, a hundred days of efficacy..."

The heavenly sounds are continuous and point directly to the fundamental principles of the Great Dao. This is not a scripture for cultivating the secret realm of the human body, but a Daoist text that can enhance the Dao nature of living beings in the dark, and at the same time refine the Great Elixir.

This great medicine is not some kind of gold or mineral or magical herb, but rather refers to a person's vital energy and spirit.

The primordial spirit governs thought, the primordial energy mother breathes, and the primordial essence interacts with the spirit; the spirit carries nature, the energy carries essence, and the essence carries life; the spirit floats while the essence sinks, and the energy resides between floating and sinking.

Qin Sheng was immersed in the divine charm of this Daoist text, but at a certain moment, the heavenly sound suddenly stopped, forcing him to withdraw from this Daoist realm, which was extremely uncomfortable.

I feel like I'm stuck in the middle.

Qin Sheng opened his eyes, looked at the multifaceted crystal, and wanted to ask a question:
What's next? An abrupt ending, right?

"What happened?" Jin Shanshan asked, puzzled, noticing that Qin Sheng's expression was rather unpleasant.

"Ugh."

Qin Sheng sighed, "I missed out on a celestial scripture, which may be a regret for the rest of my life."

He already knew what these multifaceted crystals were; they were the great scriptures of the universe, truly emulating nature.

Calling it a celestial scripture would be an exaggeration, but such a scripture of heaven and earth is definitely extraordinary.

Qin Sheng was not the first to encounter such a situation; there were precedents.

"There has always been a legend in the Big Dipper that the Great Xia Dynasty cut out a celestial scripture from the source stone, but the people of Great Xia have never responded to this matter directly, so it is difficult to tell whether it is true or not."

Ye Fan had previously cut out the Immortal Linglong from the source stone. This thing was useless in the mortal world; it was only for decoration.

However, according to legend, as long as one brings the Fairy Linglong into the Immortal Realm, one can awaken memories of one's past life, and it will also transform into a true immortal scripture.

Knowing the future, Qin Sheng knew that Xian Linglong was real.

"It's this kind of thing?" Jin Shanshan was somewhat surprised.

"You've already got it, so why say you've missed it?"

Humans are indeed greedy!

“Because it is incomplete, the world only created a part of this scripture, and there is no continuation.” Qin Sheng sighed deeply. “This is not the reason why the Stone King was cut open, but because the scripture itself could no longer evolve.”

"If I'm not mistaken, this scripture was also born from the Dao transformation of the Crimson Wind Ancient King, but neither this world nor the Dao transformation power of an ancient king himself is sufficient to perfect the scripture."

The universe of "Covering the Sky" is in the Dharma-ending Age. Due to environmental reasons, many things have degenerated and are unable to manifest in the human world.

The Crimson Wind Ancient King was merely a saint, and the power of transformation he generated was limited.

"This fragment of scripture is probably at the level of a sage now. It's a pity, a real pity."

If he could, Qin Sheng would be willing to exchange the Sacred Source Heart Fruit for this complete scripture, but unfortunately there was nowhere to do so.

"The transformation of the Crimson Wind Ancient King facilitated the creation of two divine artifacts. This ancient king is quite remarkable; I, Golden Flash, acknowledge him."

Jin Shanshan made outrageous remarks.

However, this did remind Qin Sheng.

“Something is not right. Both ‘Dao Fruit’ and ‘Immortal Scripture’ are products of miracles, and the probability of their appearance is extremely small.”

Qin Sheng noticed the problem: "There's no reason why the Ancient King of Crimson Wind's Dao Transformation should have such a good effect."

Almost instantly, an answer came to Qin Sheng's mind.

The forbidden secret technique of Emperor Fuxi: the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth and the Dao of change!

This is a secret technique that commands the universe and unites with oneself. Perhaps only such a forbidden technique, combined with immense luck, could create such a double miracle.

"It should also be because in the early ancient times, when the world was undergoing great changes, the Great Dao of the heavens was changing drastically."

Qin Sheng meticulously unraveled the mystery, revealing what he believed to be the most likely truth.

"I wonder if it will continue to evolve if I bring this thing into the Immortal Realm in the future." Qin Sheng felt a pang of heartache as he collected so many faceted crystals.

Making a fortune but only getting half of it is so disheartening.

"Golden Flash, let's go."

Meanwhile, news of Qin Sheng killing five living fossils in the mining area spread as the experts from various holy lands departed.

At first, the entire Eastern Wilderness fell silent, then erupted into a deafening uproar.

"Without using a kingly divine weapon or borrowing the power of a holy weapon, he actually killed five living fossils. Even when fighting four against one, he easily defeated them?"

"Are you sure it wasn't the Grand Void God King who did it, but rather Dong Xian? What's his cultivation level anyway!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Who spread this false information? Are they trying to ruin Tosen with excessive praise?!"

"The Dao Yi Holy Land has confirmed this matter, and the Wan Chu Holy Land has also given an affirmative answer..."

Many people sought verification from various sources before confirming the authenticity of this matter, and were forced to acknowledge it.

Tosen is probably truly invincible.

"The current Dongxian might be considered the number one expert in the Eastern Wilderness below the God King!"

"How old is he? How long has he been cultivating? He has already reached this level, the uncrowned king."

"Once he grows to the peak of a great power, he might truly be able to slay a king!"

"Comparable to Wushi, on par with the ruthless."

The entire Eastern Wilderness was shaken. The last time Qin Sheng left this land was after the Yaochi Grand Gathering.

At that time, he had killed several Saint Lord-level figures on the Yaochi Battle Platform, making him a top figure in the Eastern Wilderness. Many people believed that he could be compared to a living fossil.

Even if his combat strength is slightly inferior, Qin Sheng is still young and full of boundless energy. Compared to living fossils, this is his advantage.

But now Qin Sheng has returned from Zhongzhou, and his battle has astonished the world, once again refreshing the Eastern Wilderness's understanding of him.

It's not that he can be compared to a living fossil, but rather that he has surpassed the status of a living fossil.

Yaochi Holy Land.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi sat before the nine-aperture stone embryo, chanting scriptures for it, but after news of Qin Sheng arrived, she fell silent, only speaking after a long while:
"With him around, perhaps it really won't be the right time for you to be born five thousand years from now."

She was talking to the nine-aperture stone fetus. Although the stone fetus did not respond, everyone in Yaochi knew that the Holy Spirit inside could hear her.

Originally, this was the guardian deity that Yaochi prepared for herself, so that she could continue her glorious life.

Yaochi's plan is good. If this Holy Spirit is truly born at the Great Perfection and is willing to protect Yaochi, then they will be an unprecedented family with four Supreme Beings!

But now I look at it...

This era may produce both a fully-fledged holy body and a contemporary emperor.

One Holy Spirit seems to be of little use; his birth is almost a death sentence.

As everyone knows, if the Emperor doesn't kill a Holy Spirit, it feels like his life is incomplete and not quite fulfilling.

Wind Clan.

The proud and noble Phoenix wore a phoenix mask, exuding elegance and grace, but her expression remained unreadable.

Is the Qishi Mansion really that magical?

The Holy Lord of the Wind Clan stood beside his granddaughter and shook his head, saying, "It's not all due to the Qishi Mansion, but rather because Dongxian is a genius of unparalleled talent."

These prodigies are beyond the reach of any particular organization; their brilliance stems more from their own extraordinary abilities.

The Holy Lord of the Wind Clan paused for a moment, then said, "Phoenix, I have actually considered arranging a marriage for you."

Phoenix's gaze sharpened. "With whom?"

"Sacred Body Ye Fan." The Holy Lord of the Wind Clan sighed.

“He broke the curse, and after achieving great success, he can challenge the Great Emperor. Moreover, he has no powerful forces involved. The Wind Clan can protect him with the strength of the entire clan and help him achieve great success. He is the best candidate for marriage alliance with you.”

"Unfortunately, there were previous reports that the Holy Body's essence was damaged and that he suffered Dao injuries..."

Ye Fan's previous false information fooled the Holy Lord of the Wind Clan, causing him to abandon the idea.

It's not that he was short-sighted or anything, but mainly that Ye Fan's "Dao injury" was something even the God King, a living saint, couldn't do anything about.

He couldn't possibly arrange for his granddaughter to marry someone who only had six months to live, and then live a life of widowhood.

It wasn't until Ye Fan was still alive and kicking that the Holy Lord of the Wind Clan realized he had been fooled, but it was too late.

If you're not there for me during my low points, you're unlikely to be there for me during my peak.

The phoenix remained silent for a moment, then turned and left, leaving only its proud voice behind.

"I can become emperor myself."

"Furthermore, if I were to marry, I would only marry the current emperor, not a Great Saint Body who can only challenge the emperor."

The Holy Lord of the Wind Clan sighed softly.

Young people always think they are exceptionally talented and omnipotent, believing themselves to be the only ones in the world.

This wasn't stupidity or malice, just youthful impetuosity.

Only after experiencing setbacks and heartbreak in reality will one realize that they are not special and truly understand themselves.

Then, watching the young people who grow up become the same people they were back then, you, who have already grown up, might feel a moment of disorientation.

The Ji family, the Jiang family...

Qin Sheng's name was frequently mentioned among these forces, and he topped the trending search list in the Eastern Wilderness.

Upon closer examination, the number of Saint-level figures who died at Qin Sheng's hands is quite substantial, even if they are living fossils.

"Don't you think Dongxian is getting more and more terrifying? Do you know what the cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness call him in private these days?"

"They all call him the Holy Lord Killing Machine!"

First, there was the Great Immortal Nangong, who made outstanding contributions to solving the problem of the aging population in the Eastern Wilderness.

Dongxian is not to be outdone and is actively making efforts.

Master Ye is still waiting for us in the future.

The elderly cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness are blessed.
