Chapter 976 - 926: Proving the Dao Through Killing!

What should we do?

Looking at the tense expression in Six Path’s eyes.

Qin Fan took a deep breath while pressing his lips together.

And then said.

"Do you trust me?"

"What do you mean?" Six Path’s nervousness turned into astonishment and he asked.

"Dare to bet your lifelong cultivation, including your life, on me?" Qin Fan asked.

He didn’t feel the slightest bit of embarrassment over saying such irrational words.

On the contrary, he remained extremely calm.

After all, he didn’t propose this out of nowhere; it was Six Path who asked what to do.

As for Qin Fan, the one who carved a path of life and death, charted an immortal journey through killing.

He didn’t have many solutions in mind for Six Path’s predicament.

And the only choice left is this.

It just depends on whether Six Path dares to take it!

"What are you going to do?"

Staring into Qin Fan’s eyes intensely, Six Path spoke firmly after a moment of silence.

"Tear away the restraints that bitch has on you! Prove the Dao through killing!" With a grave expression, Qin Fan enunciated each word.

Proving the Dao through killing.

This act defies norms!

Even though there are many who defy the heavens on the path of cultivation.

Proving the Dao through killing is an extreme act of madness.

A slight misstep could result in annihilation.

Even if one avoids disaster, the tribulation that comes would be unbearable.

However, in a world where everyone on the Cangqiong Continent knows these risks, Qin Fan wants him to prove the Dao through killing. Isn’t this pushing him into a pit of fire?

But he also knew that Qin Fan wouldn’t say this without a reason.

"Are you confident? Once the killing begins, heavenly punishment will come! This is not just a baseless legend; I have witnessed a few fellow independent immortals dissipate under heavenly punishment after opening the door to killing! So you should know how crazy your proposal is! Can I— wager my life on it?" Six Path asked tremblingly.

"Whether you can afford to bet is one thing, whether you dare to bet is another! I will do my utmost to protect you from the heavenly punishment! Six Path, do you dare?" Qin Fan asked.

If it were in the past, he would never have said something like this ignorantly.

But now, the legacy has awakened.

With the Prison Fire Stick formed from the essence extracted from the Demon Punishment Prison Fire, dispelling mere heavenly punishment shouldn’t be too hard.

After all, heavenly punishment and tribulation are altogether different concepts.

The power is not comparable.

"Let me think!"

After pausing, Six Path still couldn’t make up his mind.

Not only that, but saying those words made him feel like he was going insane.

To consider?

Does this need consideration?

To bet one’s entire cultivation and soul on a few words, if not madness, what is?

"I don’t have time to wait for you to consider! You must understand, how far you go in the path of cultivation has nothing to do with me! Whether you continue as a puppet or break through the shackles of the Heavenly Dao to ascend and become immortal, what does that have to do with me? I just did it on a whim!" Qin Fan shook his head without any subtlety.

His eyes also revealed a trace of disappointment.

Disappointed at Six Path’s hesitant and fearful demeanor.

One breath.

Three breaths.

Five breaths.

After eight breaths.

Six Path still hadn’t made a decision about Qin Fan’s words.

In the midst of silence, Qin Fan smiled innocently.

He said, "Alright! Maybe this is the best choice for you! Go back, I’m going back to the restaurant too! Don’t worry, if I find a way to return, I’ll let you know and bring you along!"

After saying this.

He no longer lingered, turning to head back to the restaurant.

"Wait!"

Six Path’s urgent voice suddenly rose.

Qin Fan’s steps halted.

"Do you—do you truly have confidence?"

His voice trembled.

Six Path genuinely felt he had lost his mind.

Three months ago, he had just broken through the Nascent Soul Stage, and now he was claiming to protect him, an independent immortal, through heavenly punishment brought on by the initiation of killing. This was absolutely insane!

What could he possibly use to protect him?

Why would he even try to protect him?

But inexplicably, even Six Path himself didn’t understand what spell he was under, speaking such words.

"I’m not confident in helping you become immortal, but I’m confident you won’t die under heavenly punishment! It’s just a matter of whether you dare to trust and dare to bet!" Qin Fan said.

"Fine, I’ll bet!!!" Six Path clenched his fists tightly, the fierce expression etched on his face once again after hundreds of years.

It showed how much he struggled with making this decision.

If he lost this bet, he would vanish in an instant.

"Alright, then let’s head back to the restaurant first! They won’t come for us so quickly, let’s first deal with the matters at the restaurant! I’m quite eager to witness the might of an independent immortal, hehe!"

Qin Fan chuckled with slight anticipation.

Then he turned to look at the old man from Kunlun and said, "Why are you still standing there dazed?"

"Oh, oh, oh, yes, boss!"

Having been pulled out of his state of panic and fear by the conversation between Qin Fan and Six Path, the old man swallowed hard several times.

At this moment, aside from astonishment and shock, he felt nothing else.

Prove the Dao through killing.

Ascension to immortality.

Independent immortal.

Heavenly punishment.

These were all beyond the old man’s understanding.

It could be said that he was thrust into a foggy state.

What were these two immortals talking about?

He didn’t know, but he was aware it was definitely a mysterious realm he had never encountered or even heard of!

And these two, Six Path Immortal and Qin Fan, were clearly from that realm!

People hidden away in secluded sects of the Vast World viewed the mundane world like ants.

So would those mysterious realm dwellers view the inhabitants of the Vast World like ants as well?

Entangled in a web of countless thoughts and unanswered questions.

The old man, feeling lost, returned to the restaurant.

The banquet had reached its conclusion by then.

Looking around.

Not only was there no leftover food on any table, but even the sauce was gone.

Every plate was polished to a shine.

After seeing off the gathered nobles and the people of Four-nine City, as well as the old Wang couple and others.

The restaurant was left only with close friends and family.

Except for Ji Yi and her daughter, who were off touring the world, nearly everyone with close ties to Qin Fan was present.

After the influential figures departed, the Cangqiong Restaurant, which had not yet officially opened for business, had a cavernous hall measured in acres that suddenly felt somewhat deserted.

But amidst the coldness, there was an undeniable warmth!

Time passed by.

The old lady, who had made napping a routine part of her day, yawned amidst the laughter.

Seeing this, the many friends and family no longer lingered in conversation.

Jiang Yino and her daughter took the old lady back to the villa.

Qin Chu and his wife, constrained by busy company affairs, also didn’t linger and left for the airport with the Ye Family and others.

As for Li Qiuzhe and a few others, they intended to stay, but seeing everyone else disband like scattered birds and beasts, they felt awkward staying any longer and followed suit without Qin Fan trying to persuade them otherwise.

Even Jiang Yuan and the old man Ruyi returned to the kitchen to prepare for business.

The crowd dispersed.

Qin Fan, Six Path, and the old man from Kunlun began to leisurely walk out.

As soon as they stepped out of the restaurant’s door.

Qin Fan’s playful voice arose, "Six Path, what’s the situation?"

"From all directions, they are converging on Jinling! Some mutated birds are acting as vanguards, they must be searching for something!" Covering the entire Divine Land with his divine sense, Six Path spoke without any hesitation.

"Let’s go, head toward where those birds are flying! Let’s see if they’re really coming for us!"

Qin Fan said with a light-hearted smile.

After saying this.

He boldly took the lead.
