Sang Qing!

Elder Sanxu!

Northern Tyrant!

These three are the strongest Martial Artists in the Barbaric Forbidden Land’s Northern State!

In terms of lifespan, Sang Qing and Elder Sanxu are somewhat older, while Northern Tyrant is still a bit younger. But that’s only relative—if you compare Northern Tyrant’s remaining lifespan with someone of the younger generation like Ye Tianchen, then Northern Tyrant is already very old!

Precisely because he is much younger than Elder Sanxu and Sang Qing, Northern Tyrant acts so overbearing and arrogant. Now Sang Qing has reached the point where she has no choice but to sit in meditation and pass away; her Essence, Energy, Spirit are all dispersing—that’s something anyone can see. And Elder Sanxu’s lifespan is also very close to its end; perhaps he too will sit in meditation and pass on in just a few years. In that case, Northern Tyrant will be the strongest in the Northern State Territory, dominating a whole region. How formidable would that be?

However, what Northern Tyrant did not expect was that even at this stage—unable to control the dissipation of her Essence, Energy, Spirit, clearly only a few hours away from complete Transformation and dissolution into heaven and earth—Sang Qing still possessed such terrifying battle power. That palm strike she just sent at Northern Tyrant was enough to show Sang Qing’s strength. Even Elder Sanxu was utterly shocked; perhaps even he had never imagined that Sang Qing would be this powerful!

The Flying Flower Zen Temple’s lineage may truly be on the verge of decline in this generation, perhaps even complete annihilation. Sang Qing actually understands this very well in her heart. Once she sits in meditation and passes away, no one will be left to shelter Flying Flower Zen Temple. In truth, having lived to such an age, she has seen many cycles of rise and fall in lineages; she ought to be able to face it calmly. Yet the moment she thinks of Flying Flower Zen Temple’s inheritance being erased in her lifetime, of the female Disciples under her Sect likely unable to escape disaster, Sang Qing simply cannot let go. She truly cannot find peace. Will Flying Flower Zen Temple’s lineage really be destroyed in her generation? She refuses to accept that!

It is precisely because of this that Sang Qing summoned Elder Sanxu and Northern Tyrant here, and arranged an ancient Formation left behind from the Taigu era, so the three of them could talk things through. Sang Qing’s purpose is very obvious, very clear—she wants to do one last thing for Flying Flower Zen Temple. Even if she dies, she still wants to protect Flying Flower Zen Temple!

”Sang Qing, your attachment is too heavy.” Elder Sanxu looked at Sang Qing and said seriously.

”The rise and fall of a lineage, the ups and downs of a powerhouse—these are the normal state of the Martial Arts World. You should face it with detachment.” Northern Tyrant also spoke in an overbearing tone.

”Attachment too heavy? Be detached? I thought I could be detached. But when I think that Flying Flower Zen Temple’s lineage will be destroyed in my generation, that it will be wiped out because I sit in meditation and pass on, I truly feel unwilling. Back then, Master entrusted Flying Flower Zen Temple to me, placing great hopes on my shoulders. I might have failed to make Flying Flower Zen Temple flourish—that’s one thing. But to have Flying Flower Zen Temple destroyed because of me, I cannot, I cannot accept defeat!” Sang Qing’s eyes were incomparably resolute, her tone ice-cold as she spoke.

”Flying Flower Zen Temple did not fail to flourish because you weren’t strong enough, but because of the larger trend of the Martial Arts World. Even the entire Earth Cultivation World has been sealed, cut off from the true Martial Arts World outside. Where would we get so many Cultivation Resources? During these long years, who knows how many lineages have vanished? The fact that you’ve kept Flying Flower Zen Temple alive until now, and even made it the number one lineage in the Northern State Territory, is already remarkable.” Elder Sanxu looked at Sang Qing seriously and spoke.

”Earth is like a star abandoned by the Martial Arts World. Perhaps all we can do here is follow the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death. You should just peacefully undergo Transformation.” Northern Tyrant said with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

Boom!

Sang Qing’s whole body was shrouded in killing intent. Her Essence, Energy, Spirit were indeed continuously dispersing, yet her expression was solemn to the extreme, her gaze resolute, carrying a feeling that brooked no argument. She looked at Elder Sanxu and Northern Tyrant and said, ”You don’t need to try to persuade me. Instead, I should be the one persuading you. Having reached our level of strength, we should not do things too ruthlessly. In the future, karma always comes full circle. My demand is not high—I only hope that you will not strike at my Flying Flower Zen Temple.”

”Do you think that’s possible?” Elder Sanxu countered.

”That’s right. Your Flying Flower Zen Temple possesses two things that anyone would want. First is the Flying Flower Divine Skill, second is the Immortal Origin Liquid. If it were you, do you think you wouldn’t make a move?” Northern Tyrant asked with a cold laugh.

”The Flying Flower Divine Skill is the general spell manual governing all Cultivation in my Flying Flower Zen Temple. It is absolutely impossible to give it to you. As for the Immortal Origin Liquid, I’ve actually thought about this for a long time. Flying Flower Zen Temple hoarding it is not a good thing. Too much Immortal Origin Liquid is useless; instead, it only makes more people who need it watch us like hungry tigers, bringing great trouble to Flying Flower Zen Temple. So, I can tell you a few places where you will certainly be able to obtain Immortal Origin Liquid.” Sang Qing pondered for a moment and said.

Elder Sanxu glanced at Sang Qing. To be honest, having lived to such an age, Elder Sanxu has seen through many things. But compared to their lifespans, Northern Tyrant is still considered young, and he still has the possibility of going one step further. Thus, Northern Tyrant is biting down and refusing to let go. And with Sang Qing’s sitting-in-meditation only a matter of a few hours away, how could he possibly be intimidated by her?

”What you are doing is completely futile. Even if the two of us don’t make a move, other lineages will definitely act. Having reached your realm, do you really not understand even this simple principle? Can’t you see through even that?” Elder Sanxu tried to persuade her.

”That’s right. Whether the Flying Flower Zen Temple’s inheritance is destroyed or not doesn’t depend on us, and it doesn’t depend on you either. It all comes down to whether the successor you chose has that kind of strength. In my opinion, Princess Zi Xuan is still far from it. She can’t even beat those four—Yu Jianzi, Zhao Tianqi, Dao Yu, Bai Wuji. Looks like the Flying Flower Zen Temple’s inheritance is definitely going to be wiped out!” Northern Tyrant said with a cold sneer.

”That’s not something I can control. I only need the two of you to promise not to make a move against my Flying Flower Zen Temple, that’s all!” Sang Qing said coldly.

”Why do this to yourself? As far as I know, the four strongest of the younger generation in the Northern State Territory have already gone to your Flying Flower Zen Temple. Your temple’s inheritance is probably already destroyed by now!” Elder Sanxu frowned and said.

”So, you’d best focus on peacefully undergoing Transformation. We have to be on our way as well!” Northern Tyrant said with a calm, disdainful smile.

Pa!

A powerful palm force slammed down, directly blasting toward Northern Tyrant. Northern Tyrant couldn’t help but stare coldly at Sang Qing and said viciously, ”You really think I don’t dare fight you? Letting you peacefully undergo Transformation is already giving face to you as a senior. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, then I won’t let you Transform—I’ll kill you until body and soul are both annihilated!”

”Just you? Still not enough.” Sang Qing shook his head indifferently and said.

Peng!

Northern Tyrant was also overbearing and arrogant. He could clearly see the current situation. For him, as long as Sang Qing entered seated death, Elder Sanxu wasn’t a belligerent person either, then at least within this Northern State Territory, he, Northern Tyrant, would be the number one powerhouse, a hegemon ruling a region. Sang Qing might be strong and unfathomable, but she was already someone on the verge of death. If even that could still suppress him, scare him, then how was he, Northern Tyrant, supposed to keep his footing?

He blasted out a punch, colliding with Sang Qing’s palm force. But before the two forces even clashed, Sang Qing had already lunged over, closing in and sending a kick straight at Northern Tyrant!

Northern Tyrant hadn’t expected Sang Qing’s speed to be so fast or her attack so ferocious. He instinctively tried to block, yet was still shaken and sent flying. He couldn’t help but furrow his brows fiercely, feeling unwilling, wanting to charge forward again!

”Let it go.” Elder Sanxu appeared beside Northern Tyrant and reached out to stop him.

”Hm? Let it go? Don’t tell me you’re planning to give in to her threat? I won’t agree to that!” Northern Tyrant said disdainfully.

”She’s a dying person. Are you really going to fight her to the death? Even if you don’t die, you’ll be heavily wounded. It’s not worth it.” Elder Sanxu said with a smile.

Northern Tyrant froze for a moment, glanced at Elder Sanxu, and also felt that something was off. It wasn’t that he was afraid of fighting Sang Qing—he had that kind of strength—but there was still Elder Sanxu off to the side. If he fought Sang Qing and even if he defeated her, he might still end up seriously injured. At that time, this Elder Sanxu who appeared aloof from worldly struggles—would he make a move against him? Hard to say. You can never see through another man’s heart!

”But just letting a dying person threaten the two of us like this—do you think that’s worth it?” Northern Tyrant asked, clearly displeased.

”Actually, what she said makes sense. Given your and my cultivation, that so‑called Flying Flower Divine Skill’s general outline is truly useless to us. Only that Immortal Origin Liquid is actually of use to us, am I right?” Elder Sanxu asked Northern Tyrant.

”That’s true enough.” Northern Tyrant frowned, his thoughts churning, and said.

Sang Qing looked at Elder Sanxu and Northern Tyrant. She knew exactly what these two were thinking, and had heard everything they said. She stepped forward and said, ”For me, I can’t worry about that much. I only need you to promise not to make a move against the Flying Flower Zen Temple. As for what happens afterward, I can’t control it. But I believe the two of you will keep your word, and I will also honor mine. The Immortal Origin Liquid—I will definitely see that you get it!”

”Very well. Since you insist, I’ll agree.” Elder Sanxu glanced at Sang Qing and said.

”Whether I agree or not won’t change the fact that your Flying Flower Zen Temple will be wiped out. Those four strongest of the younger generation in the Northern State Territory definitely won’t spare you. Maybe your Flying Flower Zen Temple has already been destroyed by now. Am I right?” Northern Tyrant looked at Sang Qing with a cold smile and asked.
