"I already said it, I don’t know. I know very little about the Five Great Forces of today, let alone those from several thousand years ago." Qin Feng shook his head and pointed to the northeast. He said, "Over there is a Canghong Mountain that completely isolates this area from the outside world. I’ve never gone out, and I know nothing about the outside."

From now on, he would definitely walk out of Canghong Mountain and embark on a glorious journey. But at least for now, he still hadn’t left. Although he had unintentionally heard that Shen Tu, Dongguo, and Baili had been wiped out, and that they had close ties with Jusun, Huangfu, Tantai, and even the newly risen Duanmu and Tuoba Tribe, he didn’t know what exactly had happened. Better not to say anything. After all, there were still three Clan Leaders here: Zhuansunx, Huangfu, and Tantai.

"Qin Feng," the Shentu Clan Leader suddenly said, "with your talent, you definitely won’t spend your whole life hiding in some corner. I mean, if you encounter the descendants of our clan when you go out into the world, I hope you can help them rebuild the Shen Tu Clan. Let me ask this of you!"

"Rebuild an ancient clan! Big Brother Shentu, aren’t you overestimating me a bit?" Qin Feng almost spat blood.

"If you obtain a Map of Mountains and Rivers, it will be very easy to help rebuild a clan." The Baili Clan Leader hurriedly added.

"Of course we won’t shamelessly demand you help us rebuild our clans and still refuse to listen to you. With a Map of Mountains and Rivers, you can establish, within a hundred years, a huge legion with incomparably strong Combat Power. When you vie for supremacy, I hope my clansmen can become your left and right arms. When you rule this boundless land, I also hope you can remember the merits of my clan and support their flourishing."

"Is the Map of Mountains and Rivers really that powerful?" Qin Feng asked.

"Otherwise, why do you think the Six Nations were willing to fight for it at all costs? As long as you have a Map of Mountains and Rivers and another hundred years to accumulate strength, the future world will be yours." The Dongguo Chief said in a low voice.

Qin Feng understood.

"I’m just one man. I’ve never thought about building some great power, much less trying to dominate the world. Don’t make things hard for me." Qin Feng gave a bitter smile. He was free and unrestrained, single‑mindedly pursuing Sword Dao, and that suited him better. To build a great power, fight others every day, and have that great power be filled with schemes and treachery, just like the Dan Tai Ancient People now—that’s too exhausting, too exhausting.

"To get a Map of Mountains and Rivers and then not compete to dominate the world is an act of tremendous waste!" The elders of the Shentu Clan were all so anxious they almost charged into the Qin Dynasty for him.

"Qin Feng, you have already obtained the power and technique inheritance of our one hundred and sixteen grudges—Swordsmanship, Sword Skill, Stick Technique, Physical Strength, and spiritual power. This almost covers all the secret books of the six ancient tribes back then. If you then obtain a Map of Mountains and Rivers and still don’t establish a great power, wouldn’t that be a colossal pity? Think it through!" The Dongguo Clan Chief was close to tears.

"I’d better take things one step at a time. I’m not even sure if I can ever meet your descendants, right?" Qin Feng smiled bitterly. He had never wanted to dominate the world, and now he was suddenly being asked to walk that path. For a while he truly didn’t know how to answer.

"If you do find them, please inform us as soon as possible." The Shentu Clan Leader pressed close with this request. They had sacrificed their entire lives for their Clan, even at the end. Now to suddenly hear that their tribe had been destroyed and erased was a tremendous blow.

"Don’t worry, that’s easy enough." Qin Feng nodded, then said seriously, "You all ought to hope that I can obtain a Map of Mountains and Rivers. Can you tell me how much it would help me against the Invincible Demon King?"

The Shentu Clan Leader couldn’t help but look to the sky. He knew the Invincible Demon should be watching as well.

The Shentu Clan Leader said, "Qin Feng, your Sword Dao is inferior to Dongguo’s, your Spirit is inferior to Dan Tai Temple’s, and your Physical Strength is weaker than mine. PeiSunx Bin, Bai Lixiong, and Huangfu Zhennan are also stronger than you in their respective Domains. You were able to defeat us only because you reached a certain level in every aspect. If the six of us attacked together, could you still win?"

Qin Feng shook his head. He had first used spiritual influence to obtain the Shentu Chief, then gained the chance to behead the Shentu Chief with the Ultimate Skill of Star Origin Sword Master and Yuanzhen Sword Master. Otherwise, if multiple Dan Tai Leaders on one side neutralized his spiritual power and even suppressed him, it would be very hard for him to win. If you added in the other Clan Leaders on top of that, there would be no hope of victory at all.

"Back then, the six of us, plus almost all the Extreme and Holy experts of our clans, besieged and tried to kill Di Xin, but in the end we were all slaughtered by him. If not for the scheme that caused the thunder, we probably couldn’t have gained the upper hand at all." Director Dongguo sighed.

The Dan Tai manager also said, "You are inferior to each of us in every aspect, but Di Xin surpasses us in all aspects. Especially his Physical Strength—too ferocious, the Supreme of the ninth floor of Immortal. That is the Dao of the Shen Tu Map. If the enemy can’t kill him, then they can only wait to be killed by him."

"Di Xin is much stronger than I am. He’s an unparalleled warrior who has always been slaughtering his opponents. I’m only dragging things out with my opponents, exhausting them before trying to win with ease." The Shentu Clan Leader kept waving his hand, ashamed to compare himself to the Invincible Demon in any way.

"Damn!" Cold sweat broke out all over Qin Feng. He felt that the gap between himself and the Invincible Demon King was not just one or two levels, but more like beyond Level 6, or even beyond Level 5 or Level 4, completely out of reach.

"Are you challenging me right now? I can also give you a chance to lose." Suddenly, the Invincible Demon appeared, looming over Qin Feng like a Demon.

"Cough." Qin Feng looked extremely depressed. "Big Brother Di Xin, don’t you think the exam is a bit too hard? What are the passing requirements?"

"Don’t bargain with me."

"Haha, worthy of the Invincible Demon King, still as domineering as ever." Qin Feng chuckled and waved his hand. "No challenge today. I’m going to leave the Jinling Secret Realm and train elsewhere for a month or two. Any objections?"

"I’ll be waiting for you," the Invincible Demon Venerable said.

"Wait, my good uncle. With five Swordsmen, and your talent at the absolute peak—and on top of that, fighting me while you’re six levels above me—don’t blame me for playing a few little tricks." Qin Feng turned around, pouting in displeasure.

Since he knew he wasn’t a match, why go up and get beaten? Now that he had challenged 160 grievances and obtained their inheritances, he had also come up with another "shortcut to boost his strength."

The territory of the Sky King Beast,

It was now the Mid‑Autumn Festival, the temperature was just right, and an occasional breeze blew by, with flowers blooming all around.

"Thousands of miles of clear sky, feels really good," Qi said.

"Qin Feng, you still haven’t answered my question." The Sky King Monster once again made a majestic entrance and in the blink of an eye appeared before Qin Feng’s eyes.

"What is it? Oh, the Map of Mountains and Rivers—still don’t have it." Qin Feng answered casually.

The Sky King’s eyes narrowed slightly. "So you failed the exam?"

"Kong Xinren, we’re both people of status here, you can’t talk nonsense." Qin Feng immediately shouted. "In my, Qin Feng’s, vocabulary, is there such a thing as failure?"

"If there’s no failure, then why haven’t you obtained the Map of Mountains and Rivers?" the Sky King immediately asked.

"I’m only one step away from success with the Map of Mountains and Rivers. I’m planning to rest for a month or two, then have a peak duel with the Invincible Demon King and take the Jiangshan Society Map in one go." Qin Feng gestured animatedly, full of vigor.

"You’re going to fight Lord Di Xin?" The Void King narrowed his eyes. "Fine, then I’ll go watch."

"You should also consider the price of watching that fight, my friend," Qin Feng said.

"What do you mean?" The Sky King frowned.

Qin Feng gave a dry laugh. "Cough, actually, I can’t beat the Invincible Demon King for the time being, so I want to borrow some flowers and herbs from you to make a talisman."

"With just a talisman, you want to defeat Lord Di Xin?" The Sky King Beast sneered.

"Don’t worry. The herbs I need aren’t precious and they’re not easy to find anyway. Can’t you help me a little?"

"The things you want wouldn’t be precious?" The Sky King sneered again. He had long heard from Sui Gang, Red Fury, and Luan that this kid was a carnivore who never spat out bones and had already dug up countless Heaven and Earth Treasures. And now he dares say the elixirs he wants aren’t precious?"
