Chapter 1031: Chapter 1031: Obtain the Heavenly Book

"A clean break?"

Qin Jun’s sneer was like hearing the funniest joke as he stepped on Canghua Immortal Venerable’s chest without restraining his force, causing the Venerable to spit up blood, seething but not daring to speak.

Thirteen thousand years ago?

Fairy Nansu frowned; she could tell that Qin Jun was extremely young in terms of life span, at most a few hundred years old. How could he possibly have lived for thirteen thousand years?

Could it be about a grudge from the previous generation?

"Through my ordeals in the river of time, how much pain I endured, how could you ever repay it?"

Qin Jun said coldly, his voice ice, his murderous intent almost tangible.

Qiang Liang, Fuxi, Zhao Gongming, and Yingzhao all approached and surrounded Canghua Immortal Venerable. Their figures loomed like five great mountains, blocking out the sunlight and imposing a tremendous pressure on the Venerable.

"Hand over the Heavenly Book and its method of use, and I might forgive you!"

Qin Jun said gravely. He had to inscribe Black Butterfly Fairy’s name in the Heavenly Book to extend her life.

The Heavenly Book!

Canghua Immortal Venerable’s pupils contracted as he asked in a trembling voice, "What do you want the Heavenly Book for?"

The Heavenly Book was closely tied to his status as an Immortal Venerable. Without it, he would lose the protection of the Heavenly Dao.

Without the Heavenly Dao’s protection, his power would surely decrease significantly, and he would also lose control over the Ancient Immortal Realm, his status plummeting.

"I want the Heavenly Book for my own reasons. Will you give it or not?"

"If you refuse, then I shall be forced to utterly destroy you. In the three thousand great worlds, I refuse to believe there is only one Heavenly Book!"

Qin Jun said coldly. He was aware of the existence of other Immortal Realms.

Where there is an Immortal Realm, there must be a Heavenly Book.

The Heavenly Book is akin to the Investiture of the Gods list.

Upon hearing this, Canghua Immortal Venerable’s heart wavered.

If his body and soul were to be destroyed, all his ambitions would be in vain, and he would no longer be able to enjoy any glory.

"The Chaos demon seed, then... If you return it to me, I’ll give you the Heavenly Book."

Canghua Immortal Venerable bit out with reluctance, making his largest concession.

To exchange the Immortal Realm for the Chaos demon seed!

Fairy Nansu thought he was crazy, but she recognized his desperation from his perspective.

Bordering the Immortal Realm, one could swiftly gather a vast force.

Endowed with the fate of the heavens, the spiritual energy of the Immortal Realm was exceedingly rich. Even if damaged, it could self-repair and was even protected by Tianwei. Whoever dared to destroy the Immortal Realm would face divine retribution.

Even beings as formidable as Patriarch Bodhi could not withstand Tianwei, which showed its immense power.

"The Chaos demon seed? I have no idea where it is. It might have been struck dead by Tianwei, or maybe it fled."

Qin Jun snorted. The Chaos demon seed had terrifying potential and would become a great threat in the future, but at the time, they couldn’t care less.

Upon hearing this, Canghua Immortal Venerable’s gaze flickered with anger, panic, and even more, resentment.

He was caught in a dilemma.

After all, he was an ancient creature who had lived innumerable eons; he wasn’t about to take Qin Jun’s words at face value so easily.

"Humph, you reject a toast only to drink a forfeit. Your Majesty, just torture him a bit!" Zhao Gongming said with an impatient cold huff, looking at Canghua Immortal Venerable with malevolent intent.

Qiang Liang nodded in agreement, and although Fuxi didn’t speak, he did not object either.

Yingzhao directly drew out his Hero Soul Stick, seemingly ready to strike at any moment.

Canghua Immortal Venerable saw this and his pupils tightened, his heart filled with extreme hatred for these people.

"What if you go back on your word?" Canghua Immortal Venerable asked, his tone considerably weaker.

"I can’t guarantee anything; believe it or not, that’s up to you."

Qin Jun sneered contemptuously, knowing that too much explanation was pointless.

Only by pushing Canghua Immortal Venerable to a dead end would he truly commit.

Boom!

Suddenly, Qiang Liang erupted with an overwhelming killing intent that engulfed Canghua Immortal Venerable instantly.

"Fine! Fine! I agree! I agree!"

Canghua Immortal Venerable hastily called out, his soul assaulted by Qiang Liang’s murderous intent, he only felt as if he were in a boundless hell, his soul trembling.

Seeing this, Qiang Liang slowly retracted his killing intent, while Qin Jun narrowed his eyes and said, "Hand over the ancient book!"

Canghua Immortal Venerable clenched his teeth, and with a trembling movement of his right forefinger, a sphere of light flew out from his storage ring and landed on the ground beside him.

Because his magic power was sealed and his spirit was severely injured, he could only take things out of his storage ring; he had no way to control them.

Fuxi bent down to pick it up, the bright light dissipated, revealing a scroll of white, lustrous jade. As he unrolled it, the dense, seemingly endless names inside floated and streamed crisscross, creating a dizzying effect.

The heavenly book!

Fairy Nansu also gazed intently, and the cat demon Seven’s breathing became even more rapid.

This was the object countless beings dreamed of acquiring.

"How can the heavenly book acknowledge me as its master?"

Qin Jun asked, only allowing Fuxi to hold onto the heavenly book temporarily in case of any deceit.

Although he had reached the cultivation of the Scattered Immortal Realm, compared to Canghua Immortal Venerable, he was like an ant and could not be too cautious.

"Erase my soul mark," Canghua Immortal Venerable said with an ashen face, to erase the soul mark he left on the heavenly book, one’s cultivation realm had to surpass his, and Qin Jun happened to have such a powerful person at his disposal.

Qin Jun scrutinized him, torn inside.

Without a Primordial Spirit, and Patriarch Bodhi bearing a grave injury, the situation was rather awkward.

At that moment, Patriarch Bodhi, however, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, let me do it!"

"But your injury?" Qin Jun hesitated.

Patriarch Bodhi shook his head with a smile, "It doesn’t matter, it’s just erasing a soul mark."

After speaking, he walked over to Fuxi, took the heavenly book, first touching his forehead with his left hand while murmuring a mysterious incantation; the next second, his left hand swept over the heavenly book.

Hum—

The heavenly book burst forth with a blinding radiance, causing all those present to tense up.

"Is the Ancient Immortal Realm about to change hands?"

Fairy Nansu’s breathing hastened, she couldn’t believe she was witnessing this epic moment.

Patriarch Bodhi’s complexion slightly altered, but he continued to hold up the heavenly book despite his injuries.

A spurt of blood shot out from the prone Canghua Immortal Venerable, leaving him even more wilted.

As the light receded, the heavenly book returned to its original state.

"Your Majesty, it’s done," Patriarch Bodhi said with a forced smile.

Qin Jun was moved, he looked at Patriarch Bodhi deeply, then took the heavenly book and softly said, "You should rest now, there’s no need for you to take action anymore."

Patriarch Bodhi nodded, and Fuxi along with Zhao Gongming hurriedly helped him to sit down.

Holding the heavenly book, Qin Jun took a deep breath and asked, "What should I do to make it recognize me as master?"

Becoming an Immortal Venerable might bind him to the Heavenly Dao, so he was hesitant.

But if he let someone else control the heavenly book, that worried him even more.

Canghua Immortal Venerable looked toward the sky, murmuring, "Impress it with your soul brand and essence blood."

Qin Jun nodded but did not immediately act, undecided.

The others did not disturb him.

Fairy Nansu withdrew her gaze, the allure of the heavenly book too great. Since it wasn’t hers, it was best to look away to avoid unsettling her own Dao heart.

Whoosh—

Just then, a breaking sound came from the sky, accompanied by several powerful auras.

The forceful arrival and surging killing intent indicated malicious intent.

Qin Jun and the others looked up to see an array of cultivators flying across the sky, their momentum breaking through the clouds.

"It’s them!"

Fairy Nansu’s face drastically changed, her eyes filled with apprehension.
