All Heavens: Becoming a Saint Begins in Deep Space

Wang Xuan then spoke seriously: "You're only targeting us because you're interested in our skills. Let me make this clear: if you're going to do anything illegal or disorderly, please look elsewhere. We are still good citizens of this land."

Zhao Qinghan calmly revealed some secrets about the rising star, known as "super magic," which some call divine magic. It was discovered entirely by accident.

She spoke calmly and slowly, recounting her thoughts.

She continued, "Some people are so ambitious that they want to ignite the divine fire and live forever before they have even fully explored the world."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan realized something: "You're not thinking of sending some people to explore something, are you? We're not going! We don't want to be cannon fodder!"

Zhao Qinghan smiled brightly: "You always have so many ideas. We're classmates, would I ever betray you? It's an unpredictable and incredible opportunity!"

At this moment, Wang Li chirped, "Goddess Zhao wouldn't be trying to trick my brother and me into a place similar to a scam park from the old era, where we can't communicate with the outside world and can only follow you down this dark path, would she?"

He even acted scared as he spoke.

Wang Xuan looked at Wang Li, who was bruised and battered, and smiled awkwardly.

I find it very pleasing.

The other two, too, couldn't help but smile at Wang Li's delighted expression.

The two chatted and laughed, talking and talking.

Finally, Wang Xuan said directly, "If you insist on inviting us, that's fine, but please prepare the secret scriptures of the Daoist ancestral court first."

Zhao Qinghan wanted to attack. "The Daoist Court's Secret Manual?" she thought. "How dare he say that? What is he thinking!"

Wang Xuan said, "Pre-Qin bamboo slips are also acceptable."

Wang Li added quietly, "Treasures passed down from Taoist or Buddhist temples would also be acceptable."

Zhao Qinghan stared at Wang Xuan and Wang Li with unfriendly expressions. She felt that the conversation could not continue. The other party was obviously deliberately picking a fight and making exorbitant demands.

Qin Cheng exclaimed, "The King and the Little King are really fierce. First, the King directly attacked Goddess Zhao, and the Little King stood by and laughed at her before getting beaten up. Now they dare to make exorbitant demands in the cooperation. Zhao Qinghan's eyes are practically spitting fire."

He quickly smoothed things over: "Drinking is a good thing, so enjoy life to the fullest. By the way, Qinghan, I really didn't expect you to have mastered the old technique to this extent, to be able to arm wrestle with Wang Xuan. How did you train?"

Zhao Qinghan replied casually, "To maintain a good figure, I have to exercise for a period of time every day."

Qin Cheng was immediately depressed. He lowered his head and drank, not wanting to speak. He even felt like crying. Others could easily become masters of old techniques just by practicing to maintain their physique, while he had bled and cried, suffered for years, and still hadn't succeeded in gathering qi. Who could he complain to?

The group then tacitly avoided mentioning the exploration.

Wang Li pursed his lips. If he hadn't known what happened next and been fooled, his future sister-in-law wouldn't know what to say now.

They talked about old techniques, mainly Wang Xuan and Zhao Qinghan doing the talking, Qin Cheng couldn't get a word in edgewise, while Wang Li listened to them from the side, constantly confirming the details in his mind.

During the discussion, Zhao Qinghan said, "Whether it is the bamboo slips of the pre-Qin period or the transmission of the pre-Qin alchemists, every scripture is extremely precious and very few have survived to this day."

Those precious scriptures, from both Taoist and Buddhist temples, were locked in the most secret and secure safe on the new star.

Wang Xuan realized just how precious the pre-Qin bamboo slips Professor Lin had given them truly were.

"I've heard that a grandmaster once appeared at the Rising Stars, but he ended up dying a gruesome death because he practiced a certain level of physical techniques to the point that his internal organs rotted away like they were being boiled. Just how strong are people at that level?" Wang Xuan asked.

Zhao Qinghan was surprised, realizing that he was well-informed and knew about this kind of information, thus deducing that Wang Li and Wang Xuan must have other connections.

Zhao Qinghan felt a bit emotional; the path of traditional arts was not easy, and few people could achieve success in it.

"That grandmaster practiced the secret scriptures of the Daoist temple that you all covet, and he literally practiced them to death!"

Wang Xuan was alarmed. This is so dangerous!

He then became even more attentive and cautious with the five pages of golden book in his hand, for what Zhang Daoling had left behind was by no means inferior to the secret scriptures of the Daoist court.

"Why bother? You've already reached the Grandmaster level, and then you end up with a complete mess of internal organs. People are never satisfied," Qin Cheng sighed.

"You make it sound so easy. As he grows older, and learns that mastering this physical technique can regenerate his internal organs and extend his life by decades, do you think you can resist the temptation?" Wang Li said, pursing his lips as he looked at Qin Cheng.

Seeing that he was still mocking him like this, Qin Cheng was furious. But then, looking at Wang Li's expression, he reassured himself. "It's okay, it's okay, don't argue with a panda."

"How far are the Grandmasters from the alchemists of the pre-Qin period?" Wang Xuan asked.

"They're not even in the same league; the difference is too great to compare," Zhao Qinghan said calmly.

Then, she looked at Wang Xuan and Wang Li: "You two seem to want to continue down the path of traditional arts, with your goal being to follow the path of the pre-Qin alchemists?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Li thought to himself, "It won't be long before the 'Fangshi' and the others can't hold on any longer."

Wang Xuan said, "We are the abandoned ones, unable to access new techniques, and can only continue with the old ones."

Upon hearing this, Qin Cheng felt regret, but not intensely.

Zhao Qinghan felt that Wang Xuan and Wang Li were very talented in the traditional arts, and no one could say for sure what the future held for them.

They chatted for a while longer, and soon Zhao Qinghan got up to say goodbye, saying that they would meet again in the future.

Wang Li, Wang Li, and Qin Cheng stood up to see her off, watching her leave.

Qin Cheng said, "Your Majesty, it seems you don't want to get too involved with her and are rejecting her directly. It's a pity, as she could have helped you get into Xinxing."

Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "The players on the other side of the starry sky have already begun exploring some mysterious areas. We can't afford to offend them right now, so we shouldn't get involved."

Wang Li suddenly interjected, "Qin Cheng, when you arrive at Xinyue, you should visit Buddhist temples or Taoist courtyards more often. Practicing traditional arts there will be beneficial to you. Just listen to me!"

Wang Xuan and Qin Cheng were somewhat surprised, wondering where Wang Li had gotten the news from, since they had never had any way of knowing anything about Xinxing since they met.

Wang Li didn't explain much, his tone serious and earnest: "Remember, never explore places on the new moon that you shouldn't go out of curiosity!"

Seeing Wang Li's serious and earnest tone, Qin Cheng nodded to indicate that he had remembered.

Wang Li said all this mainly because she was afraid that her butterfly effect would disrupt his original trajectory and that he would go to places he shouldn't go.

The atmosphere became somewhat somber after hearing these words.

Wang Xuan broke the tense atmosphere by raising his glass first: "Come on, let's drink and eat, forget about those things, at least we're together now."

Wang Xuan and Qin Cheng tacitly refrained from asking Wang Li how he obtained the information, trusting that Wang Li would not harm him.

The atmosphere quickly became lively again.

That evening, Wang Li and Wang Xuan returned to their residence and began studying the bamboo slips and the golden book. Wang Li looked at the jade slip and at the creature with a human head and a snake's body on it, thinking to himself, "If this isn't Nuwa, I'll just jump off the building."

Why has this world never mentioned Nuwa or other innate deities?

He placed the jade slip aside, noticing the strange expression on Wang Xuan's face, and considering the five pages of golden book he had just put down, he couldn't help but say, "Brother, we can't force it."

Wang Xuan nodded: "Don't worry, I'm just giving it a simple test. I'll stop immediately if anything goes wrong."
