Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069: Sword Demon Lin Mengchao

"Wait for me... wait for me!"

Mo Xuanzi exerted all his strength to chase after Qin Jun and the others, his body covered in blood, looking extremely miserable as if his life force could dissipate at any moment.

Qin Jun slowed down his pace. Although Mo Xuanzi was a chatterbox and straightforward, he hadn’t used any tricks along the way. Qin Jun had a fairly good impression of him and didn’t mind taking him along.

"How come all the enchantments along the way are gone?"

Fuxi exclaimed in surprise, snapping the others back to reality.

They had traveled for dozens of miles without encountering a single enchantment, as if the previously omnipresent enchantment formations had all vanished.

A thought crossed Qin Jun’s mind as if he had guessed something, and the expressions on the faces of the others also became peculiar.

Could it be that the man who called himself Death Path could control the Qiuming Abyss?

He had let Qin Jun and the others go, and there were absolutely no restrictions on their way. This was definitely not a coincidence.

"Your Majesty truly has profound good fortune to have such a powerful ally. It will only smooth your path even more in the future."

Fuxi sighed with emotion. A being capable of defeating Qiang Liang so easily was absolutely a top figure in the universe.

Furthermore, Death Path did not say he would only help Qin Jun once, and he even considered taking Qin Jun as a son, which undeniably revealed his intentions.

Fairy Nansu looked at Qin Jun with complex emotions. With Death Path’s assistance, who in the Three Thousand Great Worlds would dare to harm Qin Jun would be courting death.

Mo Xuanzi, catching up with the group while gasping for air, stared at Qin Jun with eyes full of envy and shock.

Although he was carefree, he understood that with Death Path’s help, Qin Jun was like a packet of gunpowder one should not provoke.

"What exactly is this kid’s background?"

Mo Xuanzi wondered curiously, pondering how to forge a relationship with Qin Jun.

After witnessing Death Path’s strength, he did not hold a grudge but instead admired him immensely.

Such a powerful being was truly invincible, an object of yearning!

Qin Jun took a deep breath and said, "One must always be wary of others; it’s best not to seek his help too often."

Death Path obviously knew Ji Bubai and the White Emperor, which made him have to be cautious.

When Ji Bubai sent Qin Jun away, the Ultimate Flame Demon God was wiped out. Although Qin Jun could not find out whether Ji Bubai was dead, it seemed unlikely that Ji Bubai had survived, or else he would have appeared to help during the siege of the Saint Court by the Ancient Immortal Realm.

As for the White Emperor, Qin Jun knew him from the Xuandang Great World. He was sure that the White Emperor and Ji Bubai did not know each other, at least when he mentioned the name Ji Bubai to the White Emperor, the Emperor showed no response.

Death Path, the White Emperor, Ji Bubai...

The more Qin Jun thought about it, the more his head ached, feeling as if he had stepped into a shocking secret beyond his control.

The group continued to fly out of the Qiuming Abyss.

Meanwhile, Death Path stood still, looking in the direction they had departed, his gaze somewhat perplexed.

"You chose your race, and I chose myself. You helped me back then, and now I also lend you a hand..."

"Ji Bubai... if you’re alive, seeing me now, would you mock or envy me?"

"Perhaps you’re not dead, lying dormant somewhere. But your child has embarked on a journey once more; this time, what will you do?"

Death Path murmured to himself, then shook his head with a smile and disappeared on the spot.

...

Without the obstruction of the enchantment formations, Qin Jun and the others took only an hour to fly out of the Qiuming Abyss.

"Ding! Side mission completed—Protect Fairy Nansu! You’ve gained one God and Demon Summon chance and one Peak God and Demon opportunity!"

Just as Qin Jun flew out of the Qiuming Abyss, the system prompt sounded.

He looked back to see the Qiuming Abyss still resembling a ferocious beast in the depths of the dark starry sky, covered with billions of thunderbolts, fierce and terrifying.

The tiny Qiuming Abyss hid countless mighty beings, even transcendent existences like Death Path.

In the future, should he unite the Ancient Immortal Realm, he must seal this place off without fail.

The things inside are just too terrifying.

"Let’s find a safe planet to land on first,"

Qin Jun said softly. Qiang Liang needed to heal, and he also had to ask Fairy Nansu about the origin of the ’All-Encompassing Secret Words.’

No one had any objections, although their time in the Qiuming Abyss had not been long, it had left them all weary in body and mind.

After they had left, the starry sky plunged back into dead silence.

About ten hours had passed.

A figure was thrown out from the Qiuming Abyss, shockingly it was Di Tianwu.

At that moment, Di Tianwu’s purple robe was drenched with blood, he had been thrown millions of miles before he could steady himself in the starry sky.

"Get lost. If it weren’t for the Divine Emperor’s sake, you would have died in Qiuming Abyss today,"

The voice of the dead echoed from the Qiuming Abyss, resounding through the starry sky.

Di Tianwu’s face was dreadful to look at. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and, without uttering a word of threat, left in silence.

Being thrown out like that was a first for Di Tianwu; humiliation inevitably filled his heart.

But the cultivation of ’dead’ was too frightening, and he had to bear it.

...

In a planet of earthy color, Qin Jun and the others stopped to rest by a river.

Qiang Liang and Mo Xuanzi sat in meditation to heal their wounds, while Qin Jun listened to Fairy Nansu narrate the origins of the ’All-Encompassing Secret Words.’

"The Great Dao Secret Words are said to be nine characters spread across different worlds. If the holder dies, the secret words will reemerge elsewhere. Collecting all nine would grant the Divine Power of the Great Dao, driving countless powerhouses to madness,"

"There was once a powerful being named Lin Mengchao. He was a sword cultivator, known as the number one Sword Daoist before Yang Beiming rose to prominence."

"Later, after obtaining the ’All-Encompassing Secret Words,’ he became deranged and began slaughtering the three thousand worlds!"

"In less than a millennium, he killed over ten billion beings, completely turned into a demon, utterly irrational."

"In the end, he was suppressed by Jiye Demon Lord and Chang Shen Shang, sealed within the ’All-Encompassing Secret Words,’ eternally unable to transcend."

Fairy Nansu slowly recounted. Though that dark era happened long ago, she often heard elders from Jade Immortal Palace speak of it.

The legend of Lin Mengchao was widely circulated in the starry skies, known as the Sword Demon.

His name was inseparable from the ’All-Encompassing Secret Words.’

Tao Court Sect had gone to great lengths to find the ’All-Encompassing Secret Words,’ clearly harboring ulterior motives, but their plans were thwarted by Qin Jun’s appearance, and even Canghua Immortal Venerable’s Chaos Demon Embryo plan ended up fruitless.

Qin Jun stroked his chin, pondering, "You mean to say that Lin Mengchao is sealed within the ’All-Encompassing Secret Words’?"

No wonder when he initially wanted to integrate the ’All-Encompassing Secret Words,’ the system warned that there was something dangerous inside.

Lin Mengchao must be very powerful, for the system had told him that even under the protection of powerful beings like Patriarch Bodhi and God and Demon, Lin Mengchao could still pose a threat to him.

Being jointly suppressed by Jiye Demon Lord and Chang Shen Shang suggested that neither of them could necessarily defeat Lin Mengchao alone.

Of course, with so much time passed, Jiye Demon Lord must have gotten stronger.

The current number one in the Sword Dao is no longer Lin Mengchao; it’s Yang Beiming.

"So, are you saying this ’All-Encompassing Secret Word’ is useless now?"

Qin Jun narrowed his eyes and asked, feeling somewhat vexed by this outcome.

Fortunately, this journey had led him to meet ’dead,’ effectively gaining a powerful God and Demon ally.

"If you want to use the ’All-Encompassing Secret Word,’ there’s only one way," Fairy Nansu said, looking into Qin Jun’s eyes and speaking softly.
