# Chapter 1710: Teasing

"Last time we met, he was still at the Sovereign Martial Realm, and now he has already stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm. His age definitely won't be older than these ancient saint clan prodigies; perhaps he is of the same generation." Lin Feng murmured to himself. This person had come to kill him before, with formidable strength and mastery over various powers, exquisitely refined. Now, fighting against the Divine Seal King Body, Dugu Bubai, although seemingly suppressed, he showed no signs of defeat, displaying an endless array of abilities with ease.

"So this is the Heavenly Derivation Scripture, capable of contending with a King Body." The crowd murmured softly as they watched the battle before them. At that moment, Dugu Bubai unleashed a thousand divine seals, blasting them out as a sky-covering ancient seal. However, the fake Dugu Bubai moved like the wind, shifting stars and reversing constellations. Just as the terrifying ancient seal was about to touch him, his figure suddenly vanished.

Yet the overwhelming ancient seal continued to roll forward with boundless power. The woman from Guang Han Palace stepped forward with a smile, her palm trembling slightly. Instantly, an infinite, terrifying force spread out, causing the ancient seal to halt, then shatter and collapse. As for the fake Dugu Bubai, he slowly descended from the void, landing beside the woman.

"The Step Art of the Xing Clan!" Dugu Bubai looked at the impostor, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. The Xing Clan was also one of the ancient clans of Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. During their peak, they had once been an ancient saint clan, but they had gradually declined. Still, the Step Art of the Xing Clan remained highly renowned within Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. This fake Dugu Bubai was also skilled in the Xing Clan's Step Art; it was unclear whether it was derived or genuine.

"The Divine Seal King Body dominates in attack within the ancient capital. There's no need to continue this battle." The woman said with a light smile. "Today is just to let you all witness the Heavenly Derivation Scripture. Now that Young Master Chu has obtained the scripture, using the Heavenly Derivation Scripture to supplement the Heaven Devouring Scripture, he can derive even greater power. In the future, he will surely shake the ancient capital."

Hearing the woman's words, Dugu Bubai's brow furrowed slightly. The other young members of the ancient clans also felt a heavy pressure from these words. The Heavenly Derivation Scripture was so powerful, capable of deriving all things, that it would inevitably perfect the Heaven Devouring Scripture even further. Chu Chunqiu was already exceptionally gifted, and with the addition of the Heavenly Derivation Scripture, his talent would rise to another level. It had to be said that the woman's simple words made many of those present uneasy. They certainly did not want to see Chu Chunqiu dominate the ancient capital in the future, leaving them behind.

Moreover, what truly put pressure on them was that the Heaven Devouring Scripture was an extremely domineering ancient scripture. If one cultivated it to great accomplishment, they could devour the will of others to strengthen themselves. For now, Chu Chunqiu did not dare to be too arrogant, remaining restrained and low-key. But if one day he cultivated the Heaven Devouring Scripture to its great accomplishment stage, reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, he might even target these geniuses, devouring their will.

Over a thousand years ago, a madman from the Chu Clan had done such a thing, plunging the Chu Clan into a period of darkness, because at that time, that madman from the Chu Clan was not at the absolute peak of cultivation.

Of course, Chu Chunqiu would never dare to do that now. For the time being, he might rely on the power of his clan to find some ancient emperor's will, devour it, and strengthen himself.

"The Heavenly Derivation Scripture is infinitely profound, but I, Dugu Bubai, am not very interested in it. I wonder if the Guang Han Palace has any other techniques I could cultivate. Perhaps I could consider exchanging them with my innate seal techniques."

Dugu Bubai said slowly, causing everyone's expressions to freeze. Their gazes fell on the woman from Guang Han Palace, a glint of sharpness in their eyes. Everyone in Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital was extremely curious about the ancient scriptures in Guang Han Palace. Over countless years, no one knew how many ancient scriptures Guang Han Palace had collected.

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman from Guang Han Palace paused for a moment, then smiled lightly. "It seems the Heavenly Derivation Scripture is not enough to satisfy you all. Very well, allow me to report this and return to inform you of which ancient scriptures are available."

With that, the woman actually flickered toward the Guang Han Palace, causing the sharp glint in the crowd's eyes to intensify. Was she really going to announce some of the ancient scriptures possessed by Guang Han Palace?

"What kind of ancient saint scripture does Brother Dugu want?" Cang Xiao looked at Dugu Bubai and asked with a smile.

"An ancient saint scripture that can enhance attacks." Dugu Bubai replied calmly, causing a ripple of emotion in the hearts of the crowd. It seemed Dugu Bubai was determined to walk the path of offense. The Divine Seal King Body was already focused on attack, with terrifying offensive power. He still wanted an offensive ancient scripture to strengthen himself, making his attacks even more fearsome, capable of shattering heaven and earth. Then he would not fear Chu Chunqiu either. If you try to devour my will, I will directly slay you with absolute attack.

"You have come from Holy City Central Continent, Nether Prince. You must have broad knowledge. Do you know of any such ancient scriptures?" Dugu Bubai's gaze fell on Jun Moxi as he asked calmly.

"The Nine Heavens are vast. Although scriptures with overwhelming attack power are rare, they are by no means few. But actually obtaining one is not so easy. I'm afraid Guang Han Palace may not be able to produce any." Jun Moxi said indifferently.

"What ancient scripture does the Nether Prince cultivate? It must be extraordinary and extremely powerful." Cang Xiao asked Jun Moxi with a smile, as if the previous incident had not affected his attempt to curry favor with Jun Moxi.

"The Undying Scripture." Jun Moxi replied calmly.

"The Nether Prince is joking. There is no such thing as an Undying ancient scripture in this world. No matter how powerful an existence, when faced with truly supreme individuals, they will still die. Just like the Great Emperor earlier, no one can truly achieve eternal immortality." Cang Xiao said casually. The Undying Scripture—there could be no such scripture.

"Then have you heard of the Rebirth Scripture?" Jun Moxi looked at Cang Xiao, a faint trace of mockery in his eyes.

"The Rebirth Scripture!" The crowd's expressions stiffened upon hearing Jun Moxi's words. This ancient scripture was extremely famous in the Qingxiao Land. It was said that in the past, it was cultivated by an extremely terrifying, supreme Buddhist great power. When he reached his cultivation limit, he sat down in self-immolation, but his spiritual will achieved rebirth, enduring through death as if forever undying, breaking through cultivation bottlenecks, reshaping his physical shell, and achieving boundless dharma power.

"Of course I've heard of it." Cang Xiao replied. "When the physical body dies, the spirit does not perish, remaining eternal and immortal—that is rebirth."

"Since the Rebirth Scripture exists, why can't there be an Undying Scripture?" Jun Moxi said lightly. "It's just that your knowledge is too narrow."

Cang Xiao's expression stiffened, his face alternating between pale and red. Rendered speechless by Jun Moxi, he still managed to force out a voice. "The Nether Prince is indeed well-informed. Cang Xiao is ashamed of his ignorance, but I still ask the Nether Prince to enlighten me: if both the physical body and soul are destroyed, how can one remain undying?"

"Do you know of the Three Lives Great Emperor?" Jun Moxi asked Cang Xiao.

"The name of the Three Lives Great Emperor—of course I've heard of it." Cang Xiao replied.

"Then do you know how many lifetimes the Three Lives Great Emperor cultivated?" Jun Moxi asked again.

"Probably no one knows except the Three Lives Great Emperor himself." Cang Xiao said again.

"It seems the word 'ignorant' is no longer sufficient to describe you. Calling you foolish would not be an exaggeration." Jun Moxi said with a smile. Cang Xiao finally realized and his expression turned even uglier. That's right—he had just answered his own question, yet still asked Jun Moxi. Truly foolish enough. The Three Lives Great Emperor cultivated the Three Lives Scripture, possibly existing across several lifetimes. Even if the physical body and soul of one lifetime were destroyed, he would still remain undying.

Some around them laughed. This Nether Prince was quite interesting, mocking Cang Xiao like this, causing him to lose all face.

"The Three Lives Great Emperor cultivating the Three Lives Scripture is just a special case. What Dao does the Nether Prince's so-called Undying Scripture follow?" Cang Xiao was furious inside but suppressed it, a coldness seeping into his smile as he continued to ask.

"Hopelessly stupid." Lin Feng chuckled lightly, speechless at Cang Xiao. Couldn't he see that Jun Moxi had been toying with him all along? Yet he kept pressing about the Undying Scripture.

"I am conversing with the Nether Prince. Do you have the right to interrupt?" Cang Xiao suddenly barked coldly, staring at Lin Feng. He was already full of anger. He understood perfectly well that Jun Moxi's repeated sarcasm was meant to mock him, but he deliberately kept asking to see how Jun Moxi would handle it. But before Jun Moxi could speak, this Lin Feng also insulted him as hopelessly stupid. Where was his dignity, Cang Xiao?

"Conversing with the Nether Prince? Why don't you ask him whether he truly wants to talk with you, or if you're just pestering him endlessly, shamelessly forcing yourself on him?" Lin Feng said calmly, without anger.

"How I conduct myself is none of your business. Lin Feng, even if you now have the protection of the Demon Realm, don't forget what it really means to be the Demon Realm's son-in-law. Maybe one day you'll be kicked out of the Demon Realm." A murderous intent flickered in Cang Xiao's eyes. If not for the Demon Realm protecting Lin Feng, he truly wanted to kill him.

"What happens to me is none of your concern either. But you keep pestering my friend endlessly, and I simply can't stand to watch anymore. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with your affairs." Lin Feng said quietly. This Cang Xiao wanted to kill him, and he also wanted to destroy this bastard. But he couldn't cause too much trouble for the Demon Realm, especially since he had already killed people from the Sun Saint Clan and the Thunder Clan.

"Your friend?" Cang Xiao's expression froze as he looked at Lin Feng. "Ridiculous. Who is your friend?"

"Me." Jun Moxi uttered a single word, causing Cang Xiao's pupils to contract slightly. He slowly turned to look at Jun Moxi, then back at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng and the Nether Prince of the Nether King Palace, Jun Moxi, were friends?

"This man is truly a member of the Cang Clan? I feel like something is off with him." Jun Moxi said to Lin Feng with a smile.

"He is indeed a member of the Cang Clan. As for being off, I share the same feeling." Lin Feng shrugged. "Otherwise, with his pathetic strength, I really don't know where he gets his arrogance."

"Who can say about the people of this world? Among the heroes of Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, there are the Divine Seal King Body and the Realm King Body. Chu Chunqiu is also formidable. Some people harbor inferiority in their hearts but still like to show off their arrogance before others. That's only normal."

Lin Feng and Jun Moxi, reunited after a long separation, seemed to be in good spirits. Using Cang Xiao as their subject, they casually teased back and forth. But this made Cang Xiao, caught between them, feel utterly humiliated. His fists clenched tightly, veins bulging. He had never suffered such disgrace before.
