From the Valkyrie to the Endless

"Bone: Top Grade, Inspiration: Middle Grade, the soul is surprisingly strong, almost to the point of evolving into a divine mind... Overall, the aptitude is above average. If he doesn't enter the secret realm, he will have a chance to condense his essence, but he will have no chance to become a powerful evil spirit. I overestimated him just now."

Glancing at Shen Qing's puzzled expression, he immediately explained, "Bone is the foundation of your innate nature, and inspiration determines the speed at which you absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They are divided into four grades: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and super-grade."

"In ancient times, people with low-level qualifications could practice cultivation. Your qualifications are enough to enter a large sect and have the hope of becoming a divine treasure or even returning to the realm of unity..."

As he spoke, Wen Tianfeng shook his head. With such talent, it would be difficult to achieve success in today's environment.

Thinking of this, Wen Tianfeng's expression suddenly froze, and he looked at Shen Qing with a frown.

As far as he knew, if Shen Lie was still alive, he would be no more than forty years old. How could he have a daughter with a bone age of fifty or sixty?

"Shen Qing's physique is different from that of ordinary people. After entering the secret realm, perhaps there will be a miracle."

Seeing Wen Tianfeng react, Sikong Yuan spoke slowly. He had also noticed Shen Qing's abnormality a long time ago. Shen Qing had changed too much in the two meetings. The smell of time was too strong, and the growth of his bones could not be hidden from the eyes of a cultivator.

"hiss--"

Wen Tianfeng took a deep breath, stood up from the jade couch, looked around Shen Qing, and was amazed for a moment:

"I have only seen this kind of physique in an ancient book. It seems that tens of thousands of years ago, there was also such a person. He appeared out of nowhere, and achieved great success late in life. One year of his cultivation was equivalent to a hundred years of hard work for others. He reached the state of unity and perfection, seized the destiny, and dominated the world."

“This physique is indeed miraculous, and it can gain the skills of dozens or even hundreds of years later in a short period of time, but it also has great limitations. The ancient book records that the unknown strong man died young at the age of just over a hundred.”

Wen Tianfeng shook his head slightly and sighed: "This is all about exchanging lifespan for cultivation. It's all about gambling."

It is impossible for ordinary people to stay in seclusion for dozens or even hundreds of years. If they travel around the world, they might encounter an unimaginable opportunity and change their fate.

Like Shen Qing, exchanging all of his decades of life for strength is undoubtedly an alternative gamble.

Betting on one's own talent, one can make one's cultivation strong enough before the end of one's life.

Chapter 63 Secret Realm

Shen Qing was somewhat surprised that her secret was discovered, but after thinking about it, she quickly felt relieved.

Bone age cannot be faked. It is the mark left by time on the body of a living being. Her body has indeed experienced those years and there is no way to erase it.

Even if they are not living beings, some treasures passed down from ancient times also carry a strong historical heritage.

Such traces are too obvious for practitioners. Even without looking at the bone age, one can roughly tell the number of years a creature has experienced from the aura surrounding the body.

"Girl, you are overdrawing your life essence in exchange for power, which is equivalent to pre-drawing your future. You should think carefully."

Wen Tianfeng reminded him that living beings practice Taoism and break through bottlenecks one by one in order to achieve longevity. Overly eager pursuit of power would lead to going astray.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior." Shen Qing thanked him. She knew that Wen Tianfeng meant well, but she could only stay in this era for more than ten years. Lifespan had no meaning to her.

"I know that you, like A Yuan, want to kill Yang Zongxian for revenge, but this idea is too naive. Even if you are lucky enough to enter the Gangsha, you can't kill him."

Wen Tianfeng sighed softly: "If your father were still alive, he would not want you to seek revenge. The power of the spiritual treasure is far beyond your imagination. Behind Yang Zongxian stands the entire Daxia."

If Yang Zongxian really died so easily, he would have gone to the capital of Daxia and taken the emperor's head long ago.

Even without the national treasure, Yang Zongxian is still an extremely dangerous person and his depth is hard to tell.

Shen Qing did not explain too much. Her desire to kill Yang Zongxian had little to do with Shen Lie. It was just pure revenge.

"It would be a waste to open the secret realm for her alone, so I might as well bring the three families along. This time, it won't count as repaying you a favor."

Wen Tianfeng did not try to persuade him further. He looked at Sikong Yuan, whose brows could not hide the fatigue, and said slowly:

"The stars have been moving strangely recently, so something big is going to happen. This is also a way for the three families to accumulate some resources in advance in case of emergency."

Sikong Yuan said nothing more. He clasped his fists and bowed, then slowly left the stone hall with Shen Qing.

"These two are quite interesting. One has the potential to overthrow the world, but is too soft-hearted. The other has an incredibly strong evil spirit and is destined to have a short life..."

Looking at the direction the two people left, Wen Tianfeng sighed, looked up at the Endless Night Pearl on the dome, and sighed softly:

"It won't end well..."

…………

…………

"I'll take you to find Fu Chan."

As soon as he stepped out of the stone wall, Sikong Yuan took Shen Qing to the backyard. He knew that Shen Qing had been a little worried.

Soon, the two arrived in front of a side courtyard.

There is a vigorous old tree in the yard, with a green crown casting a shadow, and flower buds sprouting on the branches, filled with a faint fragrance.

A figure was watering the trees under the tree. She had a pretty face and a long green dress that showed off her graceful figure. She was a young girl in her prime, just like a blooming peony, glowing with neon colors.

Hearing the door opening, the woman suddenly turned around and saw Sikong Yuan, her eyes flashing with joy from the inside out:

"Mr. Sikong!"

"Shen...Qing?!"

Seeing Shen Qing behind Sikong Yuan, Fu Chan was slightly startled and slightly surprised. It was not until Shen Qing nodded that she spoke hesitantly: "You have grown up a lot..."

When she was in the Jiaofangsi, Shen Qing looked like a 28-year-old girl. Now, she looked to be about the same age as her. The change was so great that she almost couldn't recognize her.

However, she was relieved to see that Shen Qing was safe and sound.

When she heard that Shen Qing had killed the prince in the street, she was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time. However, when she thought about Shen Qing's extraordinary calmness when she killed Zhao Nuo, she could accept it to some extent. Perhaps this was the daughter of a general, destined to be different from ordinary people.

"I frightened my sister."

Shen Qing apologized. If Fu Chan hadn't helped her, she wouldn't have been caught by Zhao Sheng and encountered this series of troubles.

"That's not the case." Fu Chan shook her head slightly: "If it weren't for you, I might still be struggling to survive in the Jiaofang Bureau."

If she hadn't helped Shen Qing, she wouldn't have met Sikong Yuan, and she wouldn't have escaped from the Jiaofangsi.

She was alone originally, and now she is living a peaceful life, which makes her very content. She would be willing to live like this for the rest of her life.

"Are you used to living here?" Sikong Yuan asked from the side.

This side courtyard was his former residence. He had stayed here for many years. The Wen family probably had some misunderstandings and arranged Fu Chan here.

"The Wen family treats me very well." Fu Chan nodded with a smile.

"That's good." Sikong Yuan nodded, walked to the tree, sat on the ground, closed his eyes and concentrated, starting to recuperate.

Seeing that Fu Chan was safe and sound, Shen Qing felt relieved and relaxed a lot.

Now that Great Xia is embroiled in constant war, this fairy island overseas is considered a paradise, and there are powerful men from the Gangsha realm stationed there. There is no place more secure than here.

…………

…………

When Shen Qing and Fu Chan met, the entire Longquan was shaken.

It was because the Wen family had spread the word that they were going to open the Longquan Secret Realm.

The next day, at 1:00 p.m.

In the center of Longquan Fairy Island, hundreds of figures have gathered in front of a slightly narrow valley.

There were exactly two hundred and thirty-one people who entered the secret realm with Shen Qing on this trip.

Three figures walked out from the crowd, all dressed in brocade robes, with extraordinary demeanor. They were the heads of the three families.

Each of the three people held a broken jade pendant in their hands. The three pieces fit together perfectly, forming a round jade with various auspicious patterns engraved on it. Under the sun hanging high in the sky, it still shone with bright light.

Watching this scene, whispers broke out among the crowd.

"It's only been eight years since it was last opened. Why is it opening a second time so soon?"

"I'm afraid the secret realm hasn't recovered yet. Is it inappropriate to open it hastily?"

"It seems that the old immortal from the Wen family has spoken."

After these words were spoken, everyone was silent for a moment.

The reason why the Wen family can occupy more than half of the resources of Longquan Fairy Island is because of the old immortal in the Wen family, who is a peak powerhouse in the Gangsha realm.

Not only the Wen family, he is also the mainstay of the entire Longquan Fairy Island.

No one would dare to disobey his words.

"Mr. Sikong is here!"

The crowd automatically made way for him, and Sikong Yuan slowly walked into the venue.

Shen Qing put on his mask again, with a long sword across his waist, and followed him silently, his cultivation in the Manifestation Realm was not concealed at all and was seen by everyone.

In such an occasion, the sudden appearance of a stranger is bound to attract attention.

Some people have even begun to speculate that the sudden opening of the Longquan Secret Realm may be related to the silver-faced man following Sikong Yuan.

"This man is very strong."

A young man in the crowd said with a solemn expression: "Such a strong murderous aura."

Next to the young man stood an old man in his seventies, who also frowned and nodded: "He is indeed an incredible killer."

Hearing the old man speak, the young man's eyes moved slightly, and he asked tentatively:

"Grandpa, in your opinion, what are my chances of winning in a fight with him?"

"Twenty-eight." The old man said without hesitation.

"Only a 20% chance of winning?" The man was obviously unconvinced. They were both in the Manifestation Realm, so even if this guy was very capable, the chances of winning or losing should be 40% to 60%.

"Opportunities? You're dreaming."

The old man rolled his eyes and said unhappily:

"She slashed twice, and you got eight points!"
