Cosmos Bow!
Cloud Piercing Arrow!
The combination of the two was comparable to a six-seal Dao Artifact.
Coupled with Qin Shujian's strength, the power he could display could only be described as shocking.
The Cloud Piercing Arrow shattered the void and directly sank into the Azure King's head.
In the next second.
The huge head shattered with a loud bang, turning into a bloody mist that scattered all over the sky.
The headless Azure King's huge snake body twisted crazily in the sea, instantly overturning the river and the sea.
Qin Shujian took back the Cosmos Bow and Cloud Piercing Arrow. Then, he pressed down with his palm, forcefully imprisoning the Azure King's body that had yet to die.
The entire process.
It happened in a flash.
By the time the others reacted, the situation had changed. The Azure King had already fallen.
Only a small boat was moving forward in the waves that had yet to calm down. The person on the bow of the boat stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the island in front of him.
"The Azure King has fallen!!"
When the cultivators on the island saw this scene, they all rubbed their eyes, not daring to believe what they were seeing.
The Azure King had fallen!
For the island, this was a huge matter.
A divine-level beast had been coveting the living beings on the island for more than a day or two.
All these years.
Many people had died in the mouth of the snake.
Some people wanted to eliminate the Azure King, but they had no way to do so.
Now that the Azure King had fallen, the people on the island felt that the stone in their hearts had been removed.
However.
Although they were shocked by the fall of the Azure King, they were even more shocked by Qin Shujian's strength.
He killed the Azure King with one arrow.
Such strength was enough to be described as shocking.
At this moment.
There were also experts on the island who came and saw the Azure King's body that was not completely dead.
"May I ask who you are and why you have come to my Heavenly Rune Island?"
A middle-aged man flew over and landed in front of everyone. Then, he looked at Qin Shujian and said in a clear voice.
His voice cut across the sea, spreading far and wide.
When the middle-aged man appeared, the surrounding people couldn't help but step back a little, as if they didn't dare to stand next to him.
Qin Shujian stood with his hands behind his back and replied, "I am Qin Shujian of the Human Race of the Great Zhao. I entered the sea a few days ago and coincidentally saw your island. I have some questions to ask."
He didn't say that he was from Beiyun Mansion or that he was the Sect Master of Sky Origin Sect.
Based on the knowledge of the people on the island, they might not have heard of Beiyun Manor or Sky Origin Sect.
In the past, Bei Yun Fu was not called Bei Yun Fu. It was only after the Great Zhao established the world that the fu was renamed.
Great Zhao!
Everyone had puzzled expressions on their faces.
The doubt on the middle-aged man's face disappeared in a flash. He cupped his hands and said, "If you don't mind, you can come to my Heavenly Rune Island for a chat."
"That's exactly what I was thinking."
Qin Shujian said calmly.
The confusion on their faces did not escape his eyes.
From this, Qin Shujian could see that these people had not even heard of Great Zhao.
Very soon.
The small boat appeared in front of Heavenly Rune Island.
Qin Shujian took a step forward and appeared on the island in the next instant.
When he entered Heavenly Rune Island, he immediately felt a mysterious power fall on his body.
This power.
It didn't seem to be suppressed, but it was hard to grasp.
"Laws!"
Qin Shujian was puzzled for a moment before he understood what the mysterious power was.
The power of laws.
He had not only encountered it on Heavenly Rune Island. In the past, the Ordinary Realm and the True Domain had powerful laws.
Even the Spirit Domain had the same suppression of laws.
However, it was different from the Ordinary Realm and the True Domain. The Spirit Domain's laws were very subtle and very weak. It was not difficult to break the laws.
At the same time.
Qin Shujian discovered that the power that blocked his perception on Heavenly Rune Island had completely disappeared.
For a moment.
The Divine Sense of a Heavenly Being involuntarily spread out.
In an instant.
More than half of Heavenly Rune Island appeared in his perception range.
When he spread out his perception, Qin Shujian was stunned.
At the same time.
The middle-aged man stepped forward and cupped his hands. "I am Xia Qun, an elder of the Fantasy Ocean Sect on the island. May I know your name?"
"Qin Shujian!"
Qin Shujian also cupped his hands in return.
Xia Qun was not weak. He was a peak Divine Martial Realm cultivator.
A peak Divine Martial Realm cultivator was only an elder.
Without a doubt.
The so-called Fantasy Ocean Sect was definitely a peak power with a Heavenly Being cultivator overseeing it.
Xia Qun said enthusiastically, "You have come from afar. Why don't you follow me to the Fantasy Ocean Sect to rest? I can also introduce you to the situation on the island."
"Alright!"
Qin Shujian nodded. Then, he turned around and put away the small boat. Immediately after, he followed Xia Qun and left.
Among the onlookers.
Some people saw Xia Qun take Qin Shujian away and wanted to stop him. However, they had misgivings about Xia Qun's strength and could only suppress the impulse in their hearts.
Just like that.
The two of them left.
Walking through Heavenly Pattern Island, Qin Shujian discovered that the situation on the island was not much different from what he had expected.
There was farming and herding.
There were humans and yao.
He even saw a yao with a leopard head arguing with a human.
The two were arguing intensely, but no one attacked.
The surrounding people were used to this.
It was completely different from the humans of the Great Zhao, who would fight to the death whenever they saw a yao.
Although Qin Shujian was surprised, he did not show it on his face.
Xia Qun walked to his side and asked, "This one will boldly call you Brother Qin. May I ask where the Great Zhao that Brother Qin speaks of comes from?"
"The Great Zhao is the current human court."
Qin Shujian casually replied.
Xia Qun was still someone else on the island. The clothing he wore was completely different from the clothing of the other prefectures of the Great Zhao.
This type of clothing.
He had never heard of it before.
Vaguely, Qin Shujian had some guesses.
Hearing this, Xia Qun's expression became confused. He said, "Human court? What is court? Is it the name of a tribe?"
Tribe!?
Qin Shujian raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a faint smile, "That's about right."
"I see."
Xia Qun nodded and said with a smile, "For the Great Zhao to produce an expert like Brother Qin, it seems to be a powerful tribe. The Azure King is one of the few powerful beasts in the hundred thousand li sea.
For Brother Qin to be able to kill the Azure King in one shot, your strength is truly shocking. "
"You flatter me!"
Qin Shujian said modestly.
Xia Qun said, "Brother Qin's strength is so strong that there are only a few people on the island who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you. Does Brother Qin have any thoughts of joining my Illusionary Sea Sect?"
"I already have a sect."
Facing Xia Qun's sudden attempt to rope him in, Qin Shujian could only reply.
Hearing this.
Xia Qun didn't find it too strange.
For an expert like Qin Shujian to have a sect behind him was a normal matter.
As the two talked.
Their footsteps didn't slow down in the slightest.
Not long after, they arrived in front of a city.
Although it was called a city, it was much worse than the cities of the Great Zhao.
The city was only three zhang tall and was made of yellow soil. There were no guards at the city gates, allowing people to enter and leave.
Xia Qun said, "This city is where my Illusionary Sea Sect is located. It is also one of the few large cities on Heavenly Rune Island. If Brother Qin wants to settle down, this is a very good choice."
Qin Shujian replied casually with a smile on his face.
Soon.
The two entered the city one after the other.
The style of the city was similar to the cities of the Great Zhao, but it was a bit too simple. There were people hawking on both sides, but they didn't use silver to trade. Instead, they bartered.
Qin Shujian didn't find this strange.
Heavenly Rune Island was isolated from the rest of the world.
Aside from the fierce beasts in the surroundings, there were only fierce beasts.
If they used silver to trade, it was useless.
Bartering was a normal thing to do.
Not long after.
Xia Qun brought Qin Shujian to the front of a palace. Compared to the simple and crude city, the palace in front of them was much more exquisite. Although it looked simple and unadorned, when one looked at it carefully, one would discover that it gave off a natural feeling.
As the two of them walked in, Ye Zichen walked in.
Immediately, disciples of the Illusionary Sea Sect came to greet them.
After seeing Xia Qun, they all bowed and greeted him.
Xia Qun nodded slightly in response, then led Qin Shujian to a side hall.
"Brother Qin, this is the place where the guests of my Illusionary Sea Sect live. You can rest here for a while. If there is anything, you can call the disciples outside at any time. I still have to report to Brother Qin, so I can only excuse myself for now."
Xia Qun said politely.
Qin Shujian said with a faint smile, "Brother Xia is too polite."
Then Xia Qun cupped his hands and walked out.
In the side hall.
Qin Shujian was the only one left.
Looking around the side hall, Qin Shujian did not sit down. Instead, he paced around the side hall, looking at the traces in the surroundings.
With his eyesight.
He could see that the side hall itself was a Dao Artifact.
That's right!
A Dao Artifact!
To be honest, when he saw the side hall, Qin Shujian was secretly shocked.
It was hard for him to imagine.
A Yellow Earth City would have a Dao Artifact level palace.
But that was the truth.
This palace was a Dao Artifact. However, Qin Shujian did not dare to confirm what level it was. But it was definitely not a low level Dao Artifact.
The reason for that was because he was able to sense an ancient aura from the palace.
"Ever since I entered Heavenly Pattern Island, the things I saw were very unusual."
"Xia Qun has never heard of the imperial court, only the tribes."
"As far as I know, humans and fiends are mortal enemies. As for the hatred, although I don't know when it started, it has existed for at least tens of thousands of years."
"Because in the records of the Great Zhao Empire, humans and fiends are two extremes."
"But on Heavenly Pattern Island, I can't see any hatred between humans and fiends."
"From this, it can be seen that Heavenly Pattern Island's history is extremely long. Perhaps it already existed before humans and fiends broke off relations."
For a time.
Many guesses appeared in Qin Shujian's mind.
Ancient!
Many times, it was synonymous with profound knowledge.
Moreover, the moment he stepped onto Heavenly Pattern Island and spread out his perception, Qin Shujian discovered that everyone on the island, even a child, was in the True Martial Realm.
This discovery.
Was very surprising.
After all, in the Great Zhao Empire, only the top monstrous geniuses could become True Martial Realm cultivators at a young age.
The rest of the people would need at least several years of bitter cultivation to break through to the True Martial Realm.
Some people might not be able to break through to the True Martial Realm even after spending several decades.
This was not a joke.
There were indeed many people in the Great Zhao Empire who had stopped at the Basic Realm.
There was no need to say anything else.
Zheng Fang alone was the best proof.
A young fourth stage Basic Realm cultivator. If he hadn't joined the Sky Origin Sect, he might have already been buried in the ground.
But on Heavenly Pattern Island.
There didn't seem to be anyone below the True Martial Realm. Even newborn children were born in the True Martial Realm.
But even so.
The people on the island weren't very strong.
The weakest was the Real Martial Arts Realm, but most of them were between the Real Martial Arts Realm and the Spirit Martial Arts Realm. Very few could reach the God Martial Arts Realm. Qin Shujian didn't sense many great cultivators at the peak of the God Martial Arts Realm like Xia Qun.
As for the Diviners.
Qin Shujian shook his head.
To be honest, he couldn't sense them.
If the island didn't have a Dao Artifact Hall, then the Diviners would be able to hide their presence and make it difficult for others to detect them.
There were Diviners on the island.
Qin Shujian was certain.
However, even if there were Diviners on the island, they shouldn't be very strong.
"According to what Xia Qun said, there are people on the island who are on par with me or even stronger than me. The possibility of this is very low."
"Xia Qun might have said this to intimidate me."
"If there really was such a cultivator on the island, how could a mere Azure Snake scare the people on the island? They would have killed the Azure Snake long ago."
Diviners were very observant.
Even if there wasn't anything on the surface, as long as there were fluctuations in one's heart, one could catch a thing or two.
When Qin Shujian stepped onto Heavenly Pattern Island, he understood many things.
He could enter Heavenly Pattern Island.
For him, this was a good thing.
Heavenly Pattern Island was ancient, but it wasn't very strong. This kind of place was just right for him to gather information.
On the other side.
Xia Qun also left the side hall and came to a sealed secret room.
In the secret room.
An old man with one foot in the grave was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room. There was a huge amount of Spirit Qi surging out and flowing into his body.
As Xia Qun entered.
The old man opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Just now, I felt a powerful force. Is there a ferocious beast attacking?"
"Azure King!"
"Hmph, it's him again." The old man snorted and said, "If it wasn't for the fact that I can't leave this place, I would have killed that beast long ago."
When?
A ferocious beast at the first stage of the Sky Realm dared to show off in front of him.
If he was in his peak state in the past, he would have killed it with a slap.
But now, there was no other way.
The old man thought of something and the killing intent on his body dissipated. His eyes became turbid again. He said, "I felt the aura of an outsider. What's going on?"
"There was a Diviner who claimed to be from a tribe called Dazhao. The Azure King was wreaking havoc and happened to be met by this person. He killed the Azure King with an arrow."
Xia Qun reported truthfully.
He killed the Azure King with a single arrow.
The old man's expression changed. He said, "Could it be an almighty?"
"I'm not sure, but from what I see, it shouldn't be an almighty."
Xia Qun hesitated for a moment before saying.
Although Qin Shujian gave him a strong feeling, it didn't reach the level of an almighty.
But he couldn't be sure of this matter.
Because some experts didn't make a move, it was hard to find out their true strength.
But in Xia Qun's opinion, even if Qin Shujian wasn't an almighty, he was at least a Saint expert.
The old man said, "What's this person's name? What's his purpose in coming to Heavenly Pattern Island?"
"This person's name is Qin Shujian. His purpose in coming to Heavenly Pattern Island seems to be to inquire about some information," Xia Qun replied.
"Information?"
The old man had a puzzled expression. He wanted to stand up from the ground. Xia Qun immediately walked over and helped the old man up.
"Don't worry! These old bones of mine won't die yet. "
The old man shook his head, but he didn't shake off Xia Qun's support. He said, "Bring me to take a look. If he comes with ill intentions, we have to kill him. I just hope he's a friend and not an enemy."
The current Fantasy Sea Sect couldn't withstand any twists and turns.
Or rather.
The entire Heavenly Pattern Island couldn't withstand any big twists and turns.
Qin Shujian was currently sitting in a side hall, silently meditating and cultivating.
He discovered that the spiritual energy in this large hall was several times denser than the spiritual energy outside.
In Qin Shujian's opinion.
There should be a lot of spiritual stones buried in this large hall.
Otherwise, how could there be such dense spiritual energy?
Not long after.
Qin Shujian woke up from his meditation. He opened his eyes and looked outside the side hall. Without seeing him do anything, the side hall's door opened, revealing Xia Qun and the old man.
The moment he saw the old man.
Qin Shujian was startled.
This was because he sensed that the old man before him was emitting a decaying aura.
Many people who were nearing the end of their lifespan would have such an aura.
But all those people added together weren't as strong as the decaying aura coming from the old man.
It was as if the person standing in front of Qin Shujian wasn't a living person, but a person who had died a long time ago.
"A dead person?"
"No, he's not a dead person."
Qin Shujian quickly overturned his guess.
Although the decaying aura coming from the old man was serious, there was still a trace of life in his body.
As long as there was life, then he was a living person.
Qin Shujian stood up at the right time as his thoughts raced.
Xia Qun helped the old man into the side hall and introduced, "Brother Qin, this is our Fantasy Sea Sect's Grand Ancestor. If you have anything you want to know, you can ask Grand Ancestor.
If even Grand Ancestor doesn't know, then no one in the entire Heavenly Pattern Island should know. "
Good fellow!
Grand Ancestor!
How many generations were there? Qin Shujian didn't know.
Without a doubt, this Grand Ancestor was definitely an old antique. Moreover, he wasn't an ordinary old antique.
Otherwise.
How could he be qualified for a peak Divine Martial Realm cultivator to call him Grand Ancestor?
Qin Shujian cupped his hands and said, "This Qin greets Grand Ancestor."
He suddenly paused, not knowing what to say.
The old man seemed to see Qin Shujian's awkwardness. He smiled and said, "My name is Xia Chao. You can call me Xia Chao."
"Senior Xia is too polite!"
Qin Shujian said.
It was normal for him to address the other party as a senior.
Xia Chao had lived for who knows how many years, and his strength was definitely not weak.
Although he looked like he had one foot in the grave, Qin Shujian could feel a silent power from Xia Chao's body.
It was as if once this dormant power erupted, it would unleash an earth-shattering power.
Xia Chao indicated that Xia Qun didn't need to be helped. He slowly walked to a seat in the side hall and said, "You don't need to be so formal. Sit down and talk."
"Thank you."
Qin Shujian sat down.
As for Xia Qun, he wanted to sit down as well, but Xia Chao waved his hand and had him leave.
After Xia Qun left.
The side hall fell into a short silence.
After a while.
Xia Chao slowly opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Before you ask any questions, I also have a few questions that I want to ask you."
"Senior Xia, please ask."
Qin Shujian nodded.
Xia Chao said, "I want to ask, what year is it now?"
"Year 6,787 of Zhi Qian."
"6,787 years to the end of the Qian Dynasty?" Xia Chao's turbid eyes revealed a doubtful expression.
Then, his lips wriggled, and his hoarse voice sounded again.
"Then which Emperor Of Heaven is in the Heavenly Court now?"
Heavenly Court!
Emperor Of Heaven!
Qin Shujian's expression was calm when he heard Xia Chao's question. However, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
He originally thought that Heavenly Rune Island was old enough.
But now that Xia Chao spoke, Qin Shujian realized that Heavenly Rune Island was even older than he imagined.
When he opened his mouth, he talked about the Heavenly Court. When he closed his mouth, he talked about the Emperor Of Heaven.
Who knew how many years had passed since the destruction of the Heavenly Court.
Qin Shujian was thinking about how to answer Xia Chao's question.
He wasn't sure if Xia Chao would do something impulsive if he knew about the destruction of the Heavenly Court.
While Qin Shujian was silent, Xia Chao seemed to understand something.
Xia Chao seemed to know something and sighed: "If that's the case, then the Celestial Court couldn't survive that tribulation either."
After he said that.
Although Xia Chao didn't change much, Qin Shujian could clearly feel that the decaying aura on his body seemed to have become stronger.
Qin Shujian pondered for a moment and said, "May I ask what the great calamity that Senior mentioned is?"
"Before I answer your question, answer two more of mine."
"Senior, please ask."
"Who is the strongest person in the human race now?"
"The Human Emperor!"
"So there is still a living Human Emperor." Xia Chao was surprised and then asked, "Then how many Immortals are there in the human race now?"
"Immortals? There hasn't been an Immortal in the human race for a long time. "
Qin Shujian's heart skipped a beat and he said truthfully.
Xia Chao's expression changed slightly and he said strangely, "If there are no Immortals, how can there be a living Human Emperor?"
"Cough, cough. I wonder what level of expert is the Human Emperor that Senior mentioned?"
Qin Shujian found a problem.
The Human Emperor that Xia Chao mentioned seemed to be a little different from the Human Emperor that he knew.
Hearing that.
Xia Chao's face was slightly proud and he said, "The Human Emperor who controls the Immortals and suppresses a clan!"
Controls the Immortals!
Suppresses a clan!
Qin Shujian thought for a moment and then said with a little embarrassment, "In that case, the Human Emperor that I mentioned might be a little different from the Human Emperor that Senior mentioned."
