Qinchuan walked into the backyard.
The courtyard wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. It looked desolate and depressed.
The ground was covered in a thick layer of yellow leaves. It was already late autumn. At that moment, an old man sat under an old tree with a chess board in front of him. The old man was like an old pine tree, but he was very stable.
He stepped on the fallen leaves, which made rustling sounds.
There were also leaves falling from the sky, adding a sense of desolation to the atmosphere.
This was the complete opposite of the front yard of the Celestial Eye Family and the other courtyards. The other places were thriving, and even the trees and flowers were green all year round. Only this place felt desolate.
At that moment, the old man turned to look at Qinchuan.
Qinchuan naturally looked at the old man too. However, when he saw the old man's eyes, he suddenly understood why the old man lived here and why this place was so desolate.
That was because the old man's eyes were the lifeless Eyes of Desolation.
Only in such an environment could one unleash their greatest power.
When their eyes met, Qinchuan felt like his essence, energy, and spirit were instantly sucked out. He felt very comfortable. Slowly, the world around him seemed to be changing.
Eyes of Desolation!
Qinchuan looked around. This was a desolate world. He couldn't see the end of it. If he couldn't get out of this world, he would forever be silent in this world.
This was the old man's eye technique. If he couldn't break this desolate world, he could only be trapped by him.
The Golden God's Eyes scanned the surroundings. No illusion was perfect. Every illusion had a flaw, so Qinchuan didn't panic. He just needed to find the flaw and break it.
Suddenly, Qinchuan laughed.
It wasn't difficult for his Golden God's Eyes to see the flaw. But at that moment, a strong wind attacked.
Roar!
The other party obviously didn't want him to break this illusion.
There was a loud roar. Qinchuan saw a giant beast. It was a Heaven Swallowing Beast. It was like a huge mountain, and it flew over from afar, letting out a dull thud.
The entire ground was shaking crazily. A fierce and destructive aura came from afar.
Its bloody mouth could swallow everything.
Heaven Devouring Beast? Although it was a little exaggerated to call it Heaven Devouring Beast, its devouring ability was truly unparalleled. It was a legendary Divine Beast.
If an ordinary person were to come here, they would not be able to tell whether this was reality or an illusion. Moreover, even if this was an illusion, what they encountered was real. For example, this Heaven Devouring Beast. Naturally, it could not be compared with the real Heaven Devouring Beasts of the legends. However, this Heaven Devouring Beast was capable of devouring humans. It was not an illusion.
Therefore, in an illusion, it wasn't as if everything would be fine if you closed your eyes. You needed to fight, you needed to survive, and you needed to break the illusion.
Son of Heaven transforming into a dragon!
Roar!
A golden-colored divine dragon soared into the skies, directly rushing towards that mountain-like ferocious beast. It was said that the Heaven Devouring Beast was an existence that was not any weaker than ordinary dragons. However, the nine divine dragons of Qin Creek were all divine dragons, a legend among legends. An ancient dragon roar rang out.
Then, he charged forward with a violent aura.
Qinchuan's nine dragon gods had absorbed a golden dragon skeleton not long ago, causing the nine dragon gods to become much stronger. Qinchuan had also become much stronger.
Boom!
The Heaven Devouring Beast shattered and disappeared!
Shocking!
Just like that, the mountain-like Heaven Devouring Beast was smashed into nothingness.
Qinchuan retracted his move and the divine dragon disappeared. Qinchuan was still very satisfied with the current Son of Heaven's Dragon Transformation ability. He wondered if a real Divine Dragon would really emerge from his body in the future …
Qinchuan was a little looking forward to it. However, it was still very useful at the moment. Therefore, whether or not a real Divine Dragon would really emerge from his body, he would just have to let nature take its course.
This time, when he tried to break through the flaws, he did not face any obstructions.
Rumble …
The entire illusion shattered and Qinchuan appeared in the backyard.
"Hello, young man. Take a seat here." The old man said to Qinchuan.
"Old man, your welcoming ceremony is very interesting. Why don't I return the gesture?" Qinchuan smiled.
"Kid, you crippled two of my family members. It's not too much to test you, right?" The old man said.
"It's impolite not to reciprocate. Kid, I am a polite person," Qinchuan said, looking at the old man.
"All right, I admit defeat. As the saying goes, it is better to squash enmity than keep it alive. Regardless of who is right or wrong, I am already crippled. I am here to resolve my grudge with you," the old man said with a smile.
"All right. How do you resolve it?" Qinchuan walked over and sat down opposite the old man.
"How about we stop here?" the old man said with a smile.
"Bully me. Then, I will personally go to your house to test you. When the time comes, I will just say that we stop here. How about that?" Qinchuan said with a smile.
The old man smiled. "What do you say?"
"How about this? I need Heavenly Dragon Flowers, Thousand Year Dew and the inner core of a Sky Human stage yao beast. How about you give me some of each?" Qinchuan said seriously.
The old man was taken aback and he looked at Qinchuan. "Those are the most valuable materials for concocting Sky Human Pills. What do you need them for? To concoct Sky Human Pills?" the old man said.
"Yes!" There was no need for Qinchuan to hide anything.
The old man's eyes lit up and he said, "I can give you the inner core of a Sky Human stage yao beast and the Thousand Year Dew. However, I do not have Heavenly Dragon Flowers myself. They are too rare. You will have to try your luck in the Heavenly Dragon Secret Dimension."
It seemed he had no choice but to go to the Heavenly Dragon Secret Dimension.
"I can give you the materials. However, if you can successfully concoct them out, you will have to give me a Sky Human Pill." The old man smiled at Qinchuan.
Qinchuan frowned and said, "That will depend on how many materials you can give me."
The old man smiled and handed a Sumeru Mustard Seed to Qinchuan.
Seeing it, Qinchuan smiled. The space within the Sumeru Mustard Seed was not too big. However, it contained all the other materials besides the Heavenly Dragon Flower. Additionally, judging by the amount, it could be concocted 10 times. Most importantly, some of the medicinal herbs were up to 5,000 years old. Even the concoction requirements for Immortal Master Zhao's Sky Human Pill were met.
The old man had an extraordinary bearing and the conversation between the two of them was very pleasant. However, Qinchuan had crippled two members of the Ke Family. Even so, it would appear that the old man did not care.
"I crippled two members of the Ke Family," Qinchuan said.
"Ha ha! Do you feel that there is an irreconcilable conflict between us?" the old man said as he looked at Qinchuan.
"Is that not the case?" Qinchuan said.
"Big families, direct descendants, branch descendants … there are too many of them. Because they made mistakes, they were punished according to the family's rules. Many of the direct descendants were crippled. It is not easy for a family to survive. Qinchuan, you will understand in the future. This is not a problem at all," the old man said with a smile.
Qinchuan fell into deep thought. However, he could not understand it. Perhaps it was because of their different views. Or perhaps it was because of helplessness. It was all for the sake of the family's survival.
After bidding farewell to the old man, Qinchuan returned. The grudge between him and the Celestial Eye Family had been resolved. In fact, they could even be considered friends.
Qinchuan prepared to enter the Heavenly Dragon Secret Dimension. As long as he could find the Heavenly Dragon Flower, he would be able to concoct the Sky Human Pill.
