I became a saint through my son's boasting.

"Click, click, click..."

His body, resisting the suppressing force, began to rise inch by inch. The great formation in the sky made a rattling sound as if it was about to break under the weight.

"bring it on!"

Bu Qingshan let out a wild laugh, looked up at the sky, his long hair flying wildly, carrying an incomparably terrifying power, pressing down on the great formation in the sky.

"Buzzing... Click!"

The great formation operated to its limit, and then a crack suddenly appeared. This crack then spread rapidly like a vine.

The entire formation was on the verge of collapse.

"Stop! Stop now!"

"We give up!"

The five royal ancestors were horrified as they watched this scene unfold. If things continued like this, the Mountain and Sea Formation would likely collapse, which was the royal family's greatest asset.

At the same time, their gazes toward Bu Qingshan were filled with awe.

They withstood the mighty Mountain and Sea Formation!

What kind of monster is this?

If the fighting continues, once the Mountain and Sea Formation completely collapses, not only will the Wu family be wiped out, but their royal Xiao family will also be exterminated.

"Are you sure you're giving up?"

Bu Qingshan smiled and looked at the five people.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Senior's cultivation is extraordinary, we are convinced."

The five people nodded quickly.

"Alright then."

Bu Qingshan smiled and nodded, stopped burning his blood and qi, and casually swallowed the blood that rose to his throat, pretending that he was not injured.

Kumārajīva's behavior.

He looked at Wu Qing, who was already unconscious and floating like space debris, and said calmly, "This person must die."

"Can!"

The old man with the flames nodded, then his expression turned pleading: "But he can't die yet, senior, could you... grant him a year's grace?"

Bu Qingshan asked, "What do you want to do?"

The old man with the flames looked strange. He coughed twice and said, "Cough cough, breeding."

Bu Qingshan frowned and said, "I killed him to sever the Wu family bloodline and eliminate any future threats. If I let him leave behind offspring, wouldn't it be a pointless killing?"

The old man with the flames said:

"Senior, if his children don't know they are descendants of the Wu family, then the hatred between you and the Wu family is none of their concern."

Bu Qingshan said coldly:

"But why should I go through all that trouble? If I just kill him now, won't everything be fine?"

The old man with the flames sighed, "Senior, the Wu family bloodline must not be broken. If it is, the sky will truly collapse and the earth will crumble."

With a wave of his right hand, the Mountain and Sea Formation in the sky projected a force that enveloped the two of them, making them invisible and inaudible to outsiders, and even divine sense could not detect them.

He continued:

"You must have seen quite a few refugees on your way to the capital, ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands."

"Those people were refugees from the Datong Dynasty, and the reason they were displaced was because... the sky collapsed and the earth caved in on the Datong Dynasty."

Bu Qingshan was startled.

The old man with the flames continued:

"The root of this matter lies in the fact that beneath our dynasties, there are some super-strong individuals who have surpassed the Star-Picking Realm."

"Our dynasties, located on the edge of the continent, are actually prisons for the super powers in the center of the continent, where they detain the strongest individuals."

"Once the sealed super powerhouse breaks free, it will inevitably cause upheaval, shake the fate of the nation, and trigger various natural disasters."

"Back then, in order to seal these super strong individuals, the patriarchs of various powerful families used their lives to cast bloodline curses. What maintains the curses is their bloodline. As long as their descendants continue, the curses will remain effective."

"Conversely, the bloodline curse will disappear."

Bu Qingshan frowned and said:

"But wouldn't the families who cast the forbidden bloodline spells face retaliation from the subordinates and successors of these super-strong individuals?"

The old man with the flames nodded: "Yes, but only if their subordinates and successors can find the place."

"Dynasties like our Great hope Dynasty are as numerous as the stars in the sky. How could they possibly know which dynasty their ancestor was imprisoned in?"

"Moreover, our dynasties have imprisoned more than one super strong person. If they indiscriminately slaughter them, who knows what kind of monsters and demons will be released, and they themselves will suffer as well."

Bu Qingshan said:

"But the Chen family was still almost completely wiped out, which shows that some people can still find them."

The old man with flames smiled bitterly: "Yes, there are no secrets that don't leak. Take the Great Tong Dynasty for example, the super strongman who was sealed away has already broken free."

"But......"

Bu Qingshan's eyes deepened: "Since using forbidden bloodline spells to seal these powerful individuals carries the risk of your entire clan being wiped out, why were your ancestors willing to use such spells? And why don't you descendants leave the dynasty?"

The old man with the flames smiled bitterly:

"Senior, we had no choice. Back then, the super power in the center of the continent forced our ancestors to use forbidden bloodline spells, and our ancestors dared not disobey."

"Moreover, once this forbidden spell is cast, we descendants will be unable to leave the territory of the dynasty. If we do leave, we will be killed by the curse."

"We don't want to be prison guards, but in order to survive, we have no choice but to be prison guards for generations to come."

Bu Qingshan frowned and asked, "So, with this bloodline curse in place, even the descendants of the Chen family are unable to leave the Great hope Dynasty?"

"Yes."

The old man with the flames nodded and said.

Bu Qingshan asked, "How can this forbidden spell be made to disappear?"

The old man with flames said, "As long as the sealed super strong person is outlasted, the forbidden spell will naturally disappear."

"Can you outlive them to death?"

Bu Qingshan asked.

"able!"

The old man with the flames said with certainty, "These super strong individuals, although incredibly powerful, still have limited lifespans."

"Time is the cruelest thing. No matter how great a person is, it is difficult for them to live for more than a thousand years. Normally, eight or nine hundred years is the maximum."

Bu Qingshan's expression softened.

Cultivators in this world have rather short lifespans. If that's the case, then the super-strong individuals suppressed under the dynasty should also be nearing the end of their lifespans.

After all, they've been suppressed for hundreds of years, and besides, they must have been quite old before they were suppressed.

"So, senior, could you allow the Wu family's hostage to live for another year? I can cripple his cultivation, as long as he can breed."

"The old man with the flames pleaded."

Bu Qingshan thought for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, I'll come and kill him myself a year from now. I want to see him alive or dead."

The old man with the flames bowed deeply in gratitude, saying, "Thank you, senior!"

Soon, the power of the Mountain and Sea Formation dissipated, and the Flame Elder smiled at the other four elders, saying:

"A deal has been reached, everyone's happy."

Immediately, the four old men breathed a sigh of relief and unconsciously wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Their backs were soaked.

"Senior, since you're already here, why not stay at the palace for a few days? Let our Xiao family show you some hospitality."

The old man with the flames extended a warm invitation.

Bu Qingshan was about to refuse.

His sister-in-law suddenly grabbed his arm and whispered, "Brother-in-law, I have a good sister in the palace, and I want to go see her."

Chen Qian's eyes lit up.

My aunt's best friend? Wouldn't that be a great bragging partner?

So he took his father's hand and said, "Father, I also want to go to the palace. I've never lived in a palace before."

Bu Qingshan nodded: "Alright, since you all want to go, then stay at the palace for a few days."
