“War or peace?”

 

Su Qin was noncommittal.

 

As soon as he noticed that Qingmang was hiding inside the palace, Su Qin already guessed the latter’s intention.

 

“Indeed.”

 

Qingmang had a solemn expression, as he said, “The battlefield is the core of the recovery of vitality and is of great importance.
The Major Sects couldn’t stand idly by the side, as fellow Daoist occupies it.”

 

Qingmang paused for a moment before continuing: “Now that the first Critical Point of the wave of vitality has come, more opportunities are about to appear.
If fellow Daoist is willing to hand over 80% of the area you currently occupy, the Major Sects will not make things difficult for you.”

 

In fact, leaving 20% of the area for Su Qin was already a great sacrifice for the Major Sects. 

 

After all, the Major Sects were not the same entity.
They also needed to divide the area amongst themselves.
Su Qin’s 20% ​​was already comparable, if not bigger, than what the Major Sects would get. 

 

“Is that so?”

 

“I killed so many of you, you don’t care about that anymore?” Su Qin casually asked, his expression unchanged.

 

Other than destroying the Myriad Sword Sect, Su Qin also killed Peak Legends with Primordial Spirits, like Ancestor Lei Xing.
Although there’s still some disciples from the Myriad Sword Sect, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to Su Qin.
In fact, other people would take care of them, as being part of a Major Sect meant that they were walking money bags.

 

“As long as fellow Daoist is willing to give up 80% of the area to us, I will vouch for fellow Daoist to the Thunder God Sect and the others.” 

 

Qingmang seemed to have thought of this issue long ago, and replied without hesitation.

 

For them, a Peak Legend with a Primordial Spirit is precious, but occupying an area in the battlefield was a bigger concern.

 

If they could avoid fighting someone like Su Qin, they would certainly not get the short end of the stick from this deal. 

 

Moreover, even if Qingmang thought that his strength was not weaker than Su Qin’s, he didn’t have much of his lifespan left.
Compared with Su Qin, who was full of vigor and could freely expend his energy, he was a step behind.

 

Ganging up on Su Qin and holding a numerical advantage may work, but that’s akin to killing 1,000 enemies while losing 800 of your own troops.
If possible, not fighting was the best option.

 

“What if I refuse?”

 

Su Qin calmly asked.

 

“You refuse?”

Qingmang frowned.

 

He did expect that Su Qin would refuse, and this was the outcome Qingmang wanted to happen the least.

 

“If fellow Daoist refuses, then there is only war.”

 

“Although my friends and I are in our later years, our Qi and blood is not as strong as fellow Daoist’s, we are a group.
Unless fellow Daoist has already stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm, you wouldn’t be our match.” 

 

Qingmang said, with a hint of pride on his face.

 

Strictly speaking, Qingmang was a Half-Step Earth Immortal; between the Legend and Earth Immortal Realm.

 

If it wasn’t for his declining Qi and blood, he wouldn’t be so afraid of Su Qin.

 

“An Earth Immortal?”

 

“Are you so sure that I am not an Earth Immortal?”

 

Su Qin slowly turned around and looked at Qingmang.

 

“Is fellow Daoist referring to the Fire Element Source?” Qingmang shook his head and said: “Before I came, I already felt that the Fire Element Source was almost drained.
I wonder if that is the work of fellow Daoist?”

 

“But… Although it can certainly help a Peak Legend enter the Earth Immortal Realm, it is really only useful for helping one’s Primordial Spirit to integrate into the ocean of vitality.”

 

“Even if everything goes well after that, the whole process would take 10 years.
It’s only been a year.”

 

“Since fellow Daoist only spent a year and had already walked out of the Fire Element Source, my guess is that you failed!”

 

His eyes flickered: “Once the breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm failed, one would inevitably suffer a backlash.
The vitality of the person would be greatly injured.
Even with the Fire Element Source’s help in blocking the backlash, you must be experiencing some injuries at this moment…”

 

Qingmang slightly paused, as he stared at Su Qin.

 

This was also the reason why he came to the palace alone.
First, he had confidence in his strength.
Even if he couldn’t defeat Su Qin, he wouldn’t have a problem retreating.

 

The second was that Qingmang speculated that Su Qin was injured and was not at full power.

 

Considering the above, even if the negotiations failed, Qingmang would be fine.

 

“Hoho…”

Su Qin chuckled.

 

In a way, Qingmang was right.
Su Qin was indeed not an Earth Immortal, and therefore had neither a Great Domain or a Dharma Body.
However, Su Qin instead had the Golden Crow Divine Body.
With it, even if he’s facing an Earth Immortal, he wouldn’t be afraid.

 

“All right, you can leave.”

 

Su Qin couldn’t be bothered continuing this pointless talk with Qingmang.

 

If it wasn’t for Qingmang sneaking into the palace and not hurting anyone, how could he speak to Su Qin so calmly at this moment?

 

Qingmang naturally did not know that his unintentional actions saved his life.

 

In fact, the reason why Qingmang did not threaten Su Qin with the lives of everyone in the palace was because in Qingmang’s eyes, they weren’t worth anything.

 

“Does this mean that fellow Daoist is refusing?”

 

Qingmang sighed.
The last thing he wanted to happen happened.

 

Even if he speculated that Su Qin was injured, it was only speculation in the end and wasn’t something certain.
He just said this matter as a test.
However, Su Qin did not reveal anything, so Qingman could not gauge the latter’s condition.

 

Besides, even if Su Qin really did receive a backlash, it actually shouldn’t be much with the protection of the Fire Element Source.

 

“In that case, I hope fellow Daoist will not regret it in the future.” 

 

Qingmang said solemnly.

 

The battlefield was just too important.
As it concerned reaching the Earth Immortal Realm and even the higher realms.

 

Even if Su Qin had entered the Earth Immortal, they would have still bit the bullet and fought.
They would not watch the opportunity pass by and the treasure slip past their hands. 

 

“Are you threatening me?”

 

Su Qin’s eyes narrowed, and a trace of inexplicable aura began to rise.

 

“I don’t dare.”

 

Qingmang immediately denied: “Fellow Daoist is so powerful, how dare I threaten you? It’s just a pity.
After all, if fellow Daoist agreed to my proposal, there may be no need to fight and kill.”

 

“But since fellow Daoist does not agree, I will say goodbye first.
I thank fellow Daoist for the time.” 

 

As Qingmang said this, his figure merged into the darkness, before completely disappearing.

In Su Qin’s perception, Qingmang had already rushed out of Chang’an City at a terrifying speed.

 

“An interesting movement technique.
It’s the same as the [Divine Steps Escape Technique] of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall…”

 

Su Qin thought silently in his heart.

 

The [Divine Steps Escape Technique] was created by a Buddhist master in accordance with the divine power of Buddhism.
It was better than your average movement techniques.

 

“This is the first time I’ve encountered this Witch Sect…” Su Qin had a thoughtful look, “That Qingmang and the Moon God from the Holy Moon Church had some similarities.”

 

“Could it be that the Moon God came from the Witch Sect?” Su Qin no longer thought about the matter right after.

 

Whether the Moon God and the Witch Sect were related, didn’t matter in Su Qin’s eyes.

 

So what if that Moon God was a disciple of the Witch Sect? Would they dare to seek revenge on Su Qin for a mere Legend Realm disciple?

 

It was only after Qingmang completely left, that Fei Yu finally summoned his courage, “My Lord, Qingmang is one of the strongest experts in the Witch Sect, so why let him go like this?” 

 

Fei Yu looked at Su Qin cautiously.

 

Although Su Qin didn’t talk much with Qingmang, it was obvious that they didn’t reach an agreement.
However, instead of dealing with Qingmang in the future, it’s better to do it now.

 

“It’s okay.”

 

Su Qin shook his head, not really caring.

 

If Su Qin’s [Burning Sun Divine Art] had not been completed, and he hadn’t gotten the Golden Crow Divine Body, then he would have taken care of Qingmang to reduce the pressure he would face in the future.

 

But now, Su Qin was already invincible.
Even if Earth Immortals come, a fight was needed to determine who’s the winner. 

 

Besides, if Qingmang died in Chang’an City, it would surely surprise the remaining powerhouses who were also Half-Step Earth Immortals.
At that time, they might not dare to come to Chang’an City.

 

This was because strength and confidence were different.
The techniques chosen were also completely different.

 

Seeing this, Fei Yu didn’t dare to say more and simply stood beside Su Qin respectfully; watching the lights in all of the houses in Chang’an City.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed.

 

During this time, Su Qin was familiarizing himself with his new powers.
It took time for Su Qin to fully adapt to his skyrocketing power.

After all, Su Qin was not a Three-legged Golden Crow.
He did not have the innate ability to control such powers.

 

In addition to adapting to his own strength, Su Qin was thinking about how he should go next.

 

Currently, Su Qin had two choices.

 

First was to completely abandon his identity as a Martial Artist and focus on the path of Divine Beast.
The [12 Divine Beasts Figures] symbolize the twelve Divine Beasts that were the strongest between the Heavens and Earth.
The [Burning Sun Divine Art] had brought such improvement to Su Qin, if he continues to practice it, it would only be a matter of time before he surpasses Earth Immortals.

 

Compared with the Martial Artist’s path the Divine Beasts’ path was obviously much easier, and the improvement brought by the latter was far more than the former.     

 

For example, if a Martial Artist wanted to enter the Earth Immortal Realm, they must go through all kinds of difficulties and the chances of succeeding was one in hundreds of millions.

 

The gap between the two was like the difference between clouds and mud.

 

Almost all Martial Arts in the world would never reach the starting point of a random Divine Beast cub…

 

“The path of Divine Beasts is much easier, but their upper limit is fixed, while the path of Martial Artists has unlimited potential.
There’s potential to reach even higher realms.”

 

Su Qin thought about the matter for a long time, before his heart finally made a decision.

 

If the Divine Beasts were truly invincible, then how did the [12 Divine Beasts Figures] get created?

 

The [12 Divine Beasts Figures] could make people easily incarnate into 12 Divine Beasts.
Meaning, the creator must have a very good understanding of these beasts.
Maybe a group of Divine Beasts were researched in captivity, and finally the [12 Divine Beasts Figures] was created. 

 

Therefore, the Divine Beasts were not really invincible.
Perhaps in the early stage, the Divine Beasts had unimaginable conveniences that ordinary people could not imagine.
However, in the long run, it would have diminishing returns.

 

Of course, this was also because Su Qin had a System, and his potential surpassed other Martial Artists.
Otherwise, no matter how confident Su Qin was, he would not dare to believe that he would surpass an adult Divine Beast in the future.

 

“The [12 Divine Beasts Figures] is just a supplementary technique.
I still need to continue to tread down the Human Martial Artists’ path as my base.” Su Qin’s thoughts were moving rapidly.

 

“Since I want to take the road of a Martial Artist, what I need to do now is to break through the shackles and enter the Earth Immortal Realm.”

 

Su Qin thought in his heart.

 

For others, the Earth Immortal Realm was like a legend.
Even in the eyes of existences such as Qingmang, it was elusive.

 

They were once infinitely close to it, but in the end, they failed.

 

But Su Qin felt that there was no difficulty in breaking through the Earth Immortal Realm.
He was in a perfect state, and under the blessing of the Golden Crow Divine Body, he was like a small sea of ​​Fire Element vitality.
He could easily pull on the ocean of vitality from the depths of the void.

 

What Su Qin was thinking about now was, if his Primordial Spirit was integrated into the ocean of vitality, how deep could he reach?
