After leaving Heaven Ascension City, Qin Jue discovered that not only were there many technological buildings in the Immortal Sacred Land, but there were also many in Heaven Ascension City. These buildings had almost become some sort of a “fashion” style.
In addition, Qin Jue also learned that Long Zhen was not only the inventor of spirit tablets, but was also involved in pill refinement and weapon forging. However, unlike Qin Jue, he hadn’t created an AK-47 and Gatling gun but instead created some strange little things.
For example, he made the Invincible Vajra Renal Pill, the Beast Formation Pill, and the Invisibility Pill.
He also made glasses that could see through clothes, bangles that could hide one’s aura after wearing them, and air-transportation spirit artifacts in the shape of cars.
It was no exaggeration to say that Long Zhen’s creations had changed the Spirit Central World, allowing many things that were impossible to appear here.
In fact, Qin Jue respected Long Zhen.
Although Qin Jue had always disapproved of the saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, he wasn’t against other people acting this way. Qin Jue would absolutely not mock or ridicule someone like Long Zhen..
Thinking of this, Qin Jue suddenly stopped and sighed.
How could such an impressive legend have such a funny son?
“Can you stop following us?”
Qin Jue’s face darkened as he said speechlessly.
At this moment, Qin Jue and Su Yan were already far away from Heaven Ascension City and were preparing to change directions to look elsewhere. However, Long Aotian followed behind them like a shadow, unwilling to leave.
“Brother Qin, I am truly very powerful. No matter what happens, I will protect you all. I swear.”
Long Aotian spoke confidently with an extremely sincere tone, completely unlike the holy son of the Immortal Sacred Land.
“Why do you insist on coming with us?”
Qin Jue was speechless. You can’t just follow me just because I paid for you once, right?
“It’s… it’s my first time out, so I want to team up with you.”
After hesitating for a moment, Long Aotian finally revealed the reason.
In fact, there was one thing that Long Aotian didn’t say, and that was that he felt that Qin Jue was a good person. However, his father had once told him that he couldn’t casually say such a thing to other people, so he ultimately suppressed it.
Who would have thought that this was actually his first time out…
The problem is, even if it’s your first time out, what has it got to do with me?
Qin Jue rolled his eyes.
There are so many cultivators in Heaven Ascension City, why must they pester me?
Moreover, he had instantly revealed the fact that it was his first time going out. Wasn’t he afraid that he would be cheated and robbed until he didn’t even have his pants left?
“You say you can protect us?”
Taking a deep breath, Qin Jue decided to “educate” this famous Immortal Holy Son.
“That’s right. I’m very strong. As long as you’re willing to team up with me, I guarantee that no one will be able to hurt you.”
Long Aotian patted his chest and said firmly.
“Are you a Great Sage Stage expert?”
Qin Jue asked.
“Uh… no.”
Long Aotian shook his head.
“Then are you a Grand Saint Stage expert?”
Qin Jue asked.
“Not really.”
Long Aotian shook his head again with an awkward expression.
“If you’re neither of those things then how are you supposed to protect us?”
Qin Jue sneered.
Long Aotian :”…”
Why didn’t you stop at the Grand Saint Stage?
I’m a Saint Stage expert!
Although Saint Stage cultivators were not considered the top in the Sacred Land of the Central Continent, they were still very powerful, alright?
Apart from the Twelve Sacred Clans and the Eight Great Sacred Lands, there were no experts from the other factions who had surpassed the Saint Stage. At most, they were only at the peak of the Saint Stage. Long Aotian believed that he was invincible among his peers and would definitely not lose to anyone below the Saint Stage.
Moreover, as long as he revealed his identity, who would dare to do anything to him?
“I-I’m at the Saint Stage now!”
Seeing that Qin Jue had stopped asking, Long Aotian immediately shouted.
Qin Jue :”…”
He didn’t expect that he would be able to trick this Immortal Holy Son so easily. If he had encountered someone other than Qin Jue, he probably would be robbed until not even his pants are left.
“Why should I believe you? Just because you said so?”
Qin Jue deliberately mocked.
“I’m definitely not lying to you!”
Long Aotian had never been looked down upon like this before. An aura suddenly erupted from his body and soared into the sky. In an instant, all things were dazzling and magnificent. It looked exceptionally shocking.
After witnessing this scene, the person who was most shocked was none other than Su Yan. This brat was actually a Saint Stage expert?
“Hehe, so this is the Saint Stage?”
Qin Jue’s face was still full of disdain. “I’ll stand here and let you punch me. If you can hurt me, I’ll agree to let you team up with us.”
“Are you serious?”
Long Aotian’s eyes lit up before he said hesitantly, “But… what if I kill you with a single punch?”
Qin Jue :”…”
Who gave you the confidence?
Kill me with a single punch?
Not to mention you, even your father wouldn’t be able to do it!
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
Suppressing the urge to beat Long Aotian up, Qin Jue smiled.
“Alright, you said it yourself.”
After being looked down on repeatedly, Long Aotian was also a little angry. However, when he punched, he still didn’t use his full strength to prevent himself from accidentally killing Qin Jue.
Even so, this punch was still enough to severely injure an ordinary Legendary Stage expert.
Hu.
Wherever the fist wind passed, even space could not withstand it and distorted slightly, as if it would collapse at any moment.
In an instant, the fist landed on Qin Jue’s body, raising a terrifying spirit energy storm. Even the world darkened at this moment!
Bang!
The moment Long Aotian’s fist hit Qin Jue, an indescribable rebound force came. Before the pitiful Long Aotian could react, he was already sent flying. Then he slid several thousand meters back and stopped, creating a gulley.
“How is that possible?”
Long Aotian was dumbfounded and felt his fingers aching incomparably. It was as if he had struck a divine metal of the Nine Heavens. How could there be such a tough body in this world?
However, what he didn’t know was that if Qin Jue hadn’t deliberately removed the “repeling armor” ability. Otherwise, it was likely that at this moment, all the bones in his body would have shattered, and he would be lying on the ground unable to stand up.
“How is it? Do you admit defeat?”
Qin Jue took a step forward and appeared in front of Long Aotian. He looked down at him with an indifferent expression.
“I…”
Long Aotian opened his mouth and gritted his teeth. “I didn’t use my full strength just now.”
The arrogance in his heart made him unwilling to admit defeat so easily.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jue laughed instead of being angry. “In that case, I’ll stand here and let you punch me again.”
As he spoke, Qin Jue placed his hands behind his back, completely disregarding Long Aotian.
“Alright!”
Long Aotian slowly climbed up from the ground and exhaled as he circulated his spirit energy to the maximum.
Although he didn’t know why Qin Jue’s body was so tough, Long Aotian believed that as long as he used his full strength, he would definitely be able to break Qin Jue’s defense!
As the saying went, everyone below the Saint Stage was an ant. At his realm, fists were no longer just fists. The entire world could be said to be in his hands. With a single punch, no one could stop him!
Dong!
Space shattered one after another and cracks spread outwards like a spider web. All the living beings within a radius of 5,000 kilometers were trembling in fear.
Seeing this, Su Yan hurriedly conjured a spirit energy barrier and retreated with Yun Xi.
This was the full-power attack of a Saint Stage expert. Just the shockwave alone could kill her.
The strange thing was that these energy ripples disappeared silently before they could approach Su Yan. One didn’t need to think to know that it was definitely Qin Jue’s doing.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the bones in Long Aotian’s hand shattered inch by inch. They quickly extended to his entire arm and collapsed.
“Pfft.”
At the same time, Long Aotian spat out a mouthful of blood and was blasted towards the sky. His aura fell in a straight line.
Although Qin Jue had already removed his “repeling armor”, the backlash from Long Aotian’s full-power attack still heavily injured him and made him extremely dispirited.
On the other hand, Qin Jue was still standing in place without moving a single inch, unscathed.
“Are you willing to give up now?”
Qin Jue patted his chest and said indifferently.
“…”
“I give up.”
Long Aotian wanted to cry from the pain but had no tears to shed.!
