Chapter 113: Ancestor, You Must Not!

Meng Qingzhi's face was etched with sorrow.

Beside him, Yang Qiu wore an expression that clearly said, I knew it.

As expected.

Senior was still Senior.

How could such precious information be obtained so easily without giving up a piece of his own flesh?

After a long moment of contemplation, Meng Qingzhi let out a soft sigh. With a wave of his hand, three spirit herbs appeared, shimmering with spiritual light, each one three feet tall. They were crystal clear, exuding a fragrant aroma. Three unique and precious Dao rhymes swept through the entire Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, filled with a grand and ancient charm.

These were three Great Saint-level spirit herbs.

Any one of them had grown for at least several hundred thousand years—a time long enough to outlive any Great Saint. If placed in the outside world, they would surely cause a massive uproar!

The Nine Nether Demon Sect probably didn't have many spirit herbs of this level. The growth cycle was simply too long, and such herbs had extremely strict environmental requirements. The slightest change, and they would soon wither and die.

Hundreds of thousands of years of painstaking effort could very well be washed away in a single night.

"Pavilion Master, what about now?" Meng Qingzhi asked.

"Still not enough," Li Yun shook his head.

These few Great Saint-level spirit herbs and one Great Saint-level weapon, though few, already represented nearly a tenth of the Nine Nether Demon Sect's heritage. Because these two types of items were simply too precious.

"Still not enough…"

Meng Qingzhi gritted his teeth, his heart bleeding. Thinking of the Shimmering Light Sacred Land's heritage, and then of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he flipped his palm again.

An ancient scripture was brought out by him.

"Pavilion Master, this is an ancient scripture created by this old one, named the Nine Nether Heaven-Subjugating Scripture. It can be cultivated to the Quasi-Emperor realm. It contains not only the cultivation method but also countless profound divine abilities."

"With this, is the value enough?"

"Ancestor!"

Before Li Yun could speak, Yang Qiu couldn't hold back any longer.

In the entire history of their Nine Nether Demon Sect, there had only been two Quasi-Emperors. One was the Meng Qingzhi before him, and the other was the founding ancestor. In other words, their sect only had two Quasi-Emperor-level cultivation methods.

The one he cultivated was the Nine Nether Heaven-Subjugating Scripture!

To give this cultivation method away was equivalent to cutting off one of his own arms!

"It's fine. I have my judgment!"

Meng Qingzhi shook his head, interrupting Yang Qiu's next words. He stared at Li Yun without blinking.

Unfortunately, Li Yun's next words nearly drove him to despair.

"Still not enough!"

"This…"

Meng Qingzhi was dumbfounded.

He had even taken out his Quasi-Emperor cultivation method, and the value was still not enough. Looking at the entire Nine Nether Demon Sect, he really couldn't find anything more precious than a Quasi-Emperor cultivation method.

Spirit stones?

This thing probably had value, but it was far too low.

Pills?

They would probably have to be at least Great Saint-level, which was not much different from taking out Great Saint-level spirit herbs.

Materials?

Ordinary materials were not presentable. He didn't have many rare materials on hand. Even a Great Saint-level weapon was not valuable enough. He estimated that he would need at least Imperial Weapon materials to make the Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets relent.

Unfortunately, he didn't have any Imperial-level materials either.

"Ancestor, how about I summon the other two Great Saint ancestors?" Yang Qiu asked tentatively.

Summoning the other two Great Saint ancestors was for no other reason than the two Great Saint weapons in their hands. With theirs, perhaps the value would be enough.

"No need!"

Meng Qingzhi took a deep breath. A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a pitch-black, long spear materialized. Its dark light was chilling, soul-stirring, and an extremely tragic aura emanated from it. This weapon, forged from black divine metal, seemed to have a life of its own, its baleful energy soaring to the heavens, making one's hair stand on end, possessing a might that made one shrink back in fear.

If not for the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets blocking it, the moment this weapon appeared, the sky for tens of thousands of li around would have been completely crushed.

"Ancestor, you must not!" Yang Qiu cried out.

He hadn't expected his ancestor to go this far.

Not only had he taken out a Quasi-Emperor-level cultivation method, but he had also brought out a Quasi-Emperor weapon.

The cultivation method was one thing.

At most, it would be leaked.

After all, their Nine Nether Demon Sect also had a copy. At worst, they would share it with the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Besides, with the Pavilion Master's strength, he probably wouldn't even care for a Quasi-Emperor-level cultivation method.

But a Quasi-Emperor weapon was different.

Once given away, there was one less.

Their Nine Nether Demon Sect only had two!

Right now, the Shimmering Light Sacred Land's Imperial Weapon was not yet in their hands. Was their Nine Nether Demon Sect going to lose a Quasi-Emperor weapon first today?

Meng Qingzhi did not answer. He looked at Li Yun and asked in a deep voice, "Pavilion Master, is the value enough now?"

"It is enough," Li Yun nodded.

These words sounded like celestial music to Yang Qiu and Meng Qingzhi's ears.

He reached out and took the Nine Nether Heaven-Subjugating Scripture and the black long spear. After memorizing all the contents of the cultivation method, he exchanged them all for Heavenly Secrets Points.

He had no use for a Quasi-Emperor weapon.

But the Nine Nether Heaven-Subjugating Scripture was still somewhat useful. He wouldn't practice it himself, but learning a few divine abilities from it—wasn't that a good deal? It was much more cost-effective than buying from the system.

Although the divine abilities in the system were indeed powerful, such as the Nine Secrets, the Thirty-six Heavenly Transformations, and One Qi into Three Pure Ones, he couldn't afford them right now. He could only settle for the next best thing and get some for free without spending Heavenly Secrets Points.

‘System, query a safe route into the Shimmering Light Sacred Land,’ Li Yun said.

[Ding, deducting 450,000 Heavenly Secrets Points. Query successful. The method to enter the Shimmering Light Sacred Land has been sent to the system space.]

"Four hundred and fifty thousand…"

Li Yun's mouth twitched.

Just now, four Great Saint-level items, plus a Quasi-Emperor cultivation method and a Quasi-Emperor weapon, had barely been exchanged for 690,000 Heavenly Secrets Points. In one go, more than half was deducted.

But the good thing was, his Heavenly Secrets Points were once again abundant.

"Here."

Li Yun raised his hand, and a streak of light flew out, landing in Meng Qingzhi's hand.

"This is what you wanted, the method to enter the Shimmering Light Sacred Land. I suggest you go quickly. If you're late, the battle between the Shimmering Light Sacred Land and the Blazing Flame Sacred Land will be over!"

"Good, good, good!"

Meng Qingzhi nodded repeatedly, holding the jade slip, so excited that tears streamed down his old face.

After paying such a great price, he had finally gotten what he wanted.

"This old one takes his leave!"

After saying this, Meng Qingzhi, with Yang Qiu, turned and quickly left.

The two of them had just left the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, and in the next moment, they were gone without a trace.

When they reappeared, they were already millions of li away.
