Chapter 694 The Path of Cultivation is Inherently Defying the Heavens
However, Qin Changqing never expected that the Qingyun Sect's behavior would be so depraved and insane!
After searching in vain for a long time, the saintly leader was extremely afraid that the news of the Holy Body's birth would leak out and bring him to his death.
Therefore, in order to eliminate any future troubles and to completely cut off all clues, the sect leader issued a cruel and inhumane order—to massacre the city and destroy the land!
A decree was issued, and the elite forces of the Qingyun Sect were mobilized in full force.
They carried out a horrific and indiscriminate extermination campaign against all inhabited areas within hundreds of millions of miles of the source of the anomaly!
Whether it was a small cultivation family, an unarmed mortal village, or even birds and beasts in the mountains and forests, they were all subjected to the most ruthless slaughter overnight.
When that mysterious person drifted away, Qin Changqing returned to his hometown after going through countless hardships.
What he saw was only a vast, charred ruin stretching for millions of miles, still emitting black smoke.
His home is gone.
His father, who always smiled and patted his head; his mother, who mended his clothes; Aunt Wang next door, who always brought him steamed buns; and the little snotty boy who followed him around calling him "brother"... they were all gone.
All the villagers and all the houses were reduced to ashes in the massacre that was carried out under the pretext of "prevention is better than cure".
From that moment on, Qin Changqing, that simple, ordinary boy, died.
The one who survived was a vengeful demon, completely consumed by the fire of hatred, who vowed to drag all the gods and Buddhas down with him!
From that moment on, he swore the most vicious blood oath: if he could not kill the Qingyun Sect's Saint Master who gave the order in this lifetime, if he could not destroy the entire Qingyun Sect lineage, he, Qin Changqing, would rather fall into the underworld forever and never be able to recover!
To fulfill this vow, Qin Changqing began his decades-long period of hiding in the shadows.
He knew all too well that for a rogue cultivator like himself with no background to overthrow a behemoth with a sage in charge was nothing short of a pipe dream.
Therefore, he took the "survival" strategy to its extreme.
He dared not reveal any physical abnormalities, nor did he dare to compete for any eye-catching resources.
He spent decades changing his appearance and suppressing his cultivation to the lowest level of the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm, disguising himself as a mediocre handyman disciple, and successfully infiltrated the Qingyun Sect.
For decades, he has been quietly gathering intelligence on the Qingyun Sect, investigating the weaknesses in the sect's formations, and even secretly planting some insidious hidden dangers in the sect's water sources and earth veins.
He had been waiting.
Once you've cultivated to a sufficiently powerful level, wait for the Qingyun Sect to reveal a fatal flaw, and then deliver that fatal blow!
During those ten long years, this hatred had long become the only obsession that sustained him in this cold and cruel cultivation world.
If it's to avoid danger, he can abandon his dignity without hesitation.
But he would never back down from the cause and effect of this revenge, not even when faced with the emperor's invitation!
A brief, deathly silence fell over the cabin.
Lin Hanzhou stood quietly in place, his deep gaze fixed on Qin Changqing's face, which was filled with stubbornness and hatred.
As a great emperor, he had no need to deliberately inquire about anything.
The instant he landed on this planet and his gaze swept over Qin Changqing, he calculated Qin Changqing's experiences over the past decades with perfect clarity.
He saw the strange phenomenon that swept across the starry sky, he saw the destroyed mortal village, and he saw a boy kneeling in the ruins uttering a silent curse.
He understood this cause and effect perfectly.
If it were any other master, they might have simply slapped the Qingyun Sect to death and avenged their disciple's blood feud.
But Lin Hanzhou did not do that.
The path of cultivation is inherently defying the will of Heaven.
Inner demons and obsessions are the greatest obstacles on the path of cultivation, but also the most powerful whetstone.
This hatred was the result of Qin Changqing's own actions.
If Lin Hanzhou were to forcefully annihilate the Qingyun Sect for him using his Emperor Realm cultivation, it might temporarily quell his anger, but the hatred would never truly be released from Qin Changqing's heart.
This crack will become an irreparable flaw in his Dao heart.
If Qin Changqing were to attempt to break through to the Quasi-Emperor or even the Emperor realm in the future, this flaw would attract the most terrifying inner demon tribulation, leading to his utter ruin.
"Your karma is something you must resolve yourself."
Lin Hanzhou made a decision in his heart.
Revenge is something outsiders shouldn't interfere with.
Since Qin Changqing wanted to hone this blade of revenge himself, his master would naturally give him the opportunity.
"Fine."
Lin Hanzhou nodded slowly, a dignified yet tolerant approval in his deep eyes, tacitly approving the other party's decision to stay.
"Cultivating the Tao begins with cultivating the mind. Since you have such a determination to sever ties with your past, I will naturally not stop you."
"You can settle the karma of the Qingyun Sect yourself."
"Once you have fulfilled this wish, come to the Flame Emperor's Palace on the Nine Heavens Continent to find me."
Hearing Lin Hanzhou agree, the huge weight that had been hanging over Qin Changqing's heart finally lifted.
He kowtowed again, his voice filled with undisguised gratitude.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master!"
"but……"
Lin Hanzhou's tone shifted slightly, revealing a hint of the domineering and protective nature of an emperor.
"You are, after all, my first disciple. If I let you out here, what if some blind old monster bullies you and kills you? That would be a disgrace to my reputation."
The moment the words fell.
Lin Hanzhou slowly raised his right hand, and a wisp of crystal-clear, crimson-gold imperial blood, exuding an aura that suppressed eternity, was forced out from his fingertips.
The moment this drop of imperial blood appeared, the surrounding space let out a mournful cry of unbearable pressure, as if the gravity of the entire planet had become unbalanced at that moment.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Hanzhou flicked his finger.
The drop of imperial blood rapidly dissolved in mid-air, and amidst a dazzling interplay of laws, it actually condensed into a luminous avatar with a face identical to Lin Hanzhou's!
Although this avatar is small, the terrifying power contained within it is enough to instantly annihilate a peak Quasi-Emperor!
"go!"
Lin Hanzhou gave a low shout.
The miniature avatar of light transformed into a stream of light and instantly disappeared into the depths of Qin Changqing's brow, where it lay dormant in his sea of consciousness.
"This incarnation will serve as your protection."
