tombstone spirit's words made Qin Shaojie feel quite emotional as well.

The existence of the Wordless Monument was far from being a living existence. If not for the obsession left behind by the remnant soul of the Wordless Monument, perhaps even the tombstone spirit would not have been able to last so long.

In this world, any life has a limit to its lifespan. The purpose of a martial artist's cultivation is to continuously break through the limit of their lifespan, in order to achieve the effect of eternal life. It was a pity that no matter how much one's cultivation base had risen, it would be impossible for them to live forever. Since ancient times, no one had truly achieved this.

If he guessed correctly, the lifespan of the tombstone spirit was about to run out. This was what he was truly worried about. He was not afraid to continue waiting. What he was afraid of was that before the endless waiting ended, his lifespan would be completely sucked dry.

Although it was possible for a new tombstone spirit to appear within the Wordless Monument, he would not be able to see it for himself that day. But to leave behind two more skills for the new tombstone spirit, it was already a benevolent act.

What he wanted was another way to survive, turning himself into a legacy, and placing it in the hands of his own disciples. Even though he was no longer conscious and had lost the initiative, he still wanted to become what he was now. At least, it was much better than now.

In the end, Qin Shaojie nodded his head, finding a successor for the Wordless Monument was not a difficult matter, if news of this were to spread, countless of youths would flock over, as for who to give it to, Qin Shaojie already had a general idea of the direction to go.

Soon after, the tombstone spirit appeared in front of Qin Shaojie. This was simply a cluster of flame, about the size of his palm, it emitted an emerald green light, and a rich life force was slowly being released from within. It had to be said that the fire energy that the tombstone spirit had turned into was extremely attractive to Qin Shaojie. If he were to absorb it now, he would be able to break through his Life and death level in a short period of time, and even become an even more powerful existence.

After the tombstone spirit transformed into a flame of energy, Qin Shaojie also realized that his storage ring could be used, and he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. After which, he placed the energy fire within the Profound Ice Jade Box into his Storage Ring.

From the moment he turned into an energy fire, the tombstone spirit meant that he had erased all of his memories and consciousness. He did not show any signs of reluctance or unwillingness, nor even any hint of hesitation.

After tidying up everything here, when Qin Shaojie raised his head, he discovered that the sky above the ray of light had unknowingly been torn open. As long as he followed the tear, his spirit would be able to return to his physical body.

After looking around, a smile also appeared on Qin Shaojie's face. He then extended his hand out and disappeared into the crevice.

A mere little fellow with Spirit Lake Realm. What, do you really think you can protect him? What a joke!

The one who spoke was a disciple of the Qingyang Sect and he had gotten separated from the other disciples of the sect. Originally, acting alone in this kind of ancient ruin was considered quite passive, but who would have thought that they would actually find Qin Shaojie, who was currently sitting quietly in front of the Wordless Monument.

Qin Shaojie did not emit any aura from his body. Instead, he was wearing a mask, but one could tell with a glance that he was not a disciple of the Qingyang Sect with his own eyes. Just as he was about to take off Qin Shaojie's mask and see clearly which disciple the weakest disciple in the Nether Sect was, he also instantly appeared and protected Qin Shaojie behind him.

Those who entered inside were all gifted disciples, and one could tell at a glance that Qin Shaojie's current state was called meditation, but under this state, the warriors' bodies were like stiff rocks, their five senses and six senses were all sealed, they were completely indifferent to the outside world, and even more so, did not care about what was happening outside. All the defenses on his body had disappeared as well, making him the weakest in this situation.

Not to mention that his body was vulnerable to injuries, most importantly, a state of meditation was a state that could only be encountered by chance and not sought. It was simply impossible for ordinary people to enter this state, and even extremely difficult to encounter such a state on the level of Earth Origin Stage. For Qin Shaojie to enter such a meditative state right now was already a heaven-defying opportunity.

Maybe other people did not know who was under the mask, but this young disciple from the Nether Sect had a guess.

It was just that he never thought that Qin Shaojie would actually follow him in, and from the looks of it, it seemed to be quite good.

Facing this disciple of the Qingyang Sect, the young disciple of the Nether Sect also did not say a word. However, the profound energy in his body instantly reached its peak state, and as his eyes narrowed, he glared angrily at the Qingyang Sect disciple opposite him. If he wanted to protect Qin Shaojie who was behind him, if the other party dared to take a step forward, he would definitely charge forward without a care in the world.

Seeing the attitude of the Nether Sect's disciple, the Qingyang Sect's disciple was also startled, and then he laughed out loud. From his point of view, the Mask Man behind him was also his disciple. Although he did not know who he was, killing him was still a given.

Originally, he was worried that he would accidentally hurt the disciples of the White Night Sect, so he was prepared to take a look at the faces behind White Night Sect's back. But now, it seemed that he did not need to do this anymore. Moreover, once the Mask Man woke up, it would be troublesome if it was two on one. Although he didn't really care about the disciples of the Nether Sect, the masked guy behind him should be at least at the Spirit Sea Realm. Even if the two of them worked together, it would still be troublesome.

Feeling the slight contraction in the other party's eyes, as if he had guessed the other party's thoughts, the Nether Sect disciple's hand seals also changed slightly. Soon after, a powerful energy began to gather in the center of his palm.

Seeing the change in the Nether Sect's disciple, the Qingyang Sect's disciple snorted coldly. To him, this was simply courting death!

Sensing the energy fluctuation from his palm that was howling towards them, the Qingyang Sect disciple let out a cold snort. After that, his body advanced instead of retreating, and both of his fists directly smashed down ruthlessly.

Although the Spirit Sea Realm warriors could not break through the space, they could still feel the surrounding air being shaken by the fists. It was like a fierce wind sweeping through the surroundings, and the strength of the fists were like the strikes of a raging bull, bringing about a force of more than 1000 jins, which then bombarded the two palms of the young disciples of the Nether Sect, where the energy exploded.

The collision of the strong forces did not show any signs of deadlock. On the contrary, under the fists of the opponent, the expression of the Nether Sect disciple instantly paled a little as his internal organs trembled. As he immediately felt blood gushing out from his throat, his throat felt sweet and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

With each step he took backwards, he could feel his feet sinking deep into the ground. The depth varied, but the sight of it was enough to make one's heart clench.

It was not that he was too weak, but his opponent was too strong. He did not hold back when he was at the Spirit Sea Realm and it was obvious that he did not want to waste any time on this. He hoped to end the battle quickly.

Seeing this, the man from the Qingyang Sect once again revealed a sneer on his face. Did he really think that he was a nobody from the outside world? To be able to become a disciple of a sect, their strength had long since surpassed the disciples of the same level in the outside world. In fact, if he fought against those powerful warriors at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm of the outer dynasties, his chances of winning would be about 80 to 20%.

Having gone through the sect's professional training, the gap between their realms was naturally greater!

If he didn't understand this, he would just be trying to clash head on with Ye Xiao. It truly was like an ant trying to shake a tree; he was wishful thinking!

I'll deal with you first! However, the disciples of the Qingyang Sect did not continue attacking the disciples of the Nether Sect, but instead locked onto Qin Shaojie. In his eyes, Qin Shaojie was no longer breathing, but was at least at the Spirit Sea Realm.

With a cold laugh, he clenched both his fists tightly and the aura around him locked onto Qin Shaojie. Then, he casually threw a heavy punch at Qin Shaojie from a distance.

Under this fist, the fist strike became sharp and flourishing, the powerful profound energy directly transforming into a wild wolf as it howled towards Qin Shaojie. Under this kind of whistling sound, even the air seemed to become chilly and under this heavy atmosphere, it was as if it was an omen of Qin Shaojie's physical body collapsing under this fist strike.

Puchi, puchi!

Just as this fist was about to land on Qin Shaojie's body, the young disciple of Nether Sect once again soared into the air and appeared before Qin Shaojie. It was unknown when, but a shield had already appeared in his hands.

The shield was very large and was covered with all kinds of different patterns, making it look quite strange. The opponent's full power attack was blocked by the shield in that instant.

Although the shield was extremely powerful, and with just a glance, one could tell it was a treasure. It had helped the young disciple of the Nether Sect to block all of the profound energy, but the powerful impact of the attack was not something that the shield could defend against, or perhaps, it was not an energy that the young disciple of the Nether Sect could use under such a situation.

Immediately after, the Nether Sect disciple and the shield shot out violently. The impact of the attack was even more powerful than the previous attack!

After spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, the Nether Sect's disciples all became dispirited. Even their vitality had weakened by quite a bit.

At this moment, he no longer had any strength to fight.

If you want to die, I'll grant you your wish!

After being blocked by this Nether Sect's disciple multiple times, Mask Man had become angry as well. The powerful aura once again locked onto the Nether Sect's disciple and under this attack, it was clear that he wanted to directly kill this little disciple who was meddling in Nether Sect.

You, damn you!

Just at that moment, Qin Shaojie's eyes that were tightly shut suddenly opened, and an aura filled with thick killing intent whizzed out!
