The deaths of over eighty immortals and gods had caused great chaos in the Huangji Main Realm.
Factions like the Duantian Dynasty and the Misty Dao Sect had their territories carved up by other powers after losing a large number of their immortal and god powerhouses.
"All dead? This has nothing to do with me," Qin Han Chu said.
Meng Qi looked at Qin Han Chu suspiciously, "Nothing to do with you?"
"I intended to trick and kill a few people, but I didn't expect so many immortals and gods to show up. To survive, I had to give up the Enlightenment Tea."
"As for what happened afterward, I don't know."
Qin Han Chu knew Meng Qi wouldn't believe him, but it didn't matter.
Meng Qi was also a smart person; she knew Qin Han Chu didn't want to talk about it.
Since Qin Han Chu didn't want to speak, she didn't press further.
After a moment of thought, Meng Qi said, "We'll set off again in fifty years. I'll contact you then."
"Alright, I'll cultivate in this city."
After arranging the time with Qin Han Chu, Meng Qi went to contact the other teammates.
Fifty years, neither long nor short. Qin Han Chu decided to use the Enlightenment Tea during this time.
As a top-tier immortal realm treasure, Qin Han Chu naturally wouldn't brew the Enlightenment Tea with ordinary water.
After some selection, Qin Han Chu chose the Nine Heavens Immortal Water as the final choice for brewing the tea.
Nine Heavens Immortal Water was also an extremely rare immortal treasure. Brewing tea with it could enhance the efficacy of the Enlightenment Tea.
Since it was Nine Heavens Immortal Water, ordinary flames naturally couldn't be used to boil water.
Fortunately, Qin Han Chu possessed the Law of Heavenly Fire, which could be used to boil the Nine Heavens Immortal Water.
Even the pot used to boil the water was a top-tier immortal artifact.
It took a full three months for the Nine Heavens Immortal Water to be boiled by the Heavenly Fire.
When the "hot water" was poured into the teapot, a refreshing fragrance filled the room.
If Qin Han Chu hadn't used formations to isolate the scent, this aroma would have undoubtedly spread throughout the entire city.
The aroma of the Enlightenment Tea was not just pleasant; it also had miraculous effects.
Even immortals and gods who smelled this aroma could improve their efficiency in comprehending cultivation methods.
If ordinary people smelled this aroma, they could absolutely achieve enlightenment and cultivate to the Immortal King realm in one go.
After a while, Qin Han Chu picked up the teapot and began to drink the tea.
The effects of the Enlightenment Tea wouldn't manifest immediately. It wasn't until Qin Han Chu finished the entire pot that its divine power erupted.
Qin Han Chu's consciousness was instantly pulled to the moment the first trace of the life and death law was born.
Time flew by, and Qin Han Chu had been sitting motionlessly for thirty-five years.
During these thirty-five years, he had been comprehending the life and death law through the Enlightenment Tea.
Qin Han Chu's life and death law had long reached a bottleneck, but with the help of the Enlightenment Tea, it successfully broke through.
With this breakthrough, the power of the life and death law became even greater.
It was a pity that the Enlightenment Tea couldn't enhance Qin Han Chu's time law.
Although he had completed the breakthrough, Qin Han Chu did not stop cultivating.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he continued to study his life and death divine abilities.
It wasn't until the forty-eighth year that Qin Han Chu opened his eyes.
Just moments ago, he had received a telepathic message from Meng Qi.
She had already assembled the team and would depart from the Tianhuang Main Realm in ten years.
At this time, Qin Han Chu was still in the Huangji Main Realm, so he had to set off for the Tianhuang Main Realm.
...
Above the clouds, a stream of light flashed by.
Due to its excessive speed, the powerful air current forced the white clouds to scatter to both sides.
From afar, it looked as if the sky had been split open with a sword.
This stream of light was none other than Qin Han Chu, who was rushing from the Huangji Main Realm.
With less than three months remaining until their departure, Qin Han Chu was pressed for time.
As he was flying, two more streams of light appeared.
Qin Han Chu's spiritual sense swept over them, revealing a male and a female immortal and god within the streams of light.
As he observed them, they were also looking at him.
In the blink of an eye, the three streams of light had crossed paths, separated by thousands of meters.
After moving a distance away from him, the male and female immortals and gods stopped.
They turned to look in the direction Qin Han Chu had left. The man said in a deep voice, "That person seems to be someone the Demon Ancestor is hunting."
"It's him! Quickly send a message to the Demon Ancestor."
The woman beside him was somewhat excited. The bounty from the Demon Ancestor was quite substantial.
Even though they were immortals and gods, they couldn't help but be tempted.
"Let's go, follow him," the man said with a smile. "We mustn't lose track of him."
While sending the message, the two of them chased in the direction Qin Han Chu had left.
To avoid being detected by Qin Han Chu, the two maintained a "safe" distance.
This so-called safe distance was merely their own assumption.
They judged the safe distance based on the spiritual sense of ordinary people, while Qin Han Chu's spiritual sense was several times that of ordinary immortals and gods.
The Demon Ancestor had not considered this initially. By the time he remembered to warn them, Qin Han Chu had already sensed their presence.
He created a clone to continue forward, while Qin Han Chu's true body remained hidden.
Not long after, the two caught up.
Just as they were about to continue their pursuit, Qin Han Chu suddenly appeared beside them.
His sudden appearance startled the two.
They had already learned of Qin Han Chu's prowess from the Demon Ancestor, and now they began to panic.
"Fellow Daoist, what is the meaning of this?" the man asked, trying to calm himself.
Qin Han Chu said indifferently, "Why are you following me?"
"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. We are just passing by," the female immortal god said.
"You seem very wary of me? Do you know me?"
Qin Han Chu's question made the hearts of the two tremble. The male immortal god snorted, "How could that be? My wife and I are merely benevolent people."
"Heh heh... A fine example of benevolence," Qin Han Chu said mockingly. "Unfortunately, you've encountered someone unreasonable like me!"
"What do you mean, Fellow Daoist? Do you intend to fight the two of us?"
"Do you think you can defeat both of us?"
Qin Han Chu did not continue this topic with them. He said, "This is your only chance. Why are you following me?"
"We don't know..."
"If you don't want to say it, then don't!"
Before the two could finish speaking, Qin Han Chu's Soul-Severing Flying Dagger had already killed them.
The Shenzhou World had now transformed into a main realm, and there was no immediate need to kill immortals and gods for sacrifice.
Because of this, Qin Han Chu no longer had any reason to spare their immortal souls.
He collected their resources and continued on his way to the meeting point.
As for why they were following him, it didn't really matter.
Several days later, Qin Han Chu met Meng Qi in a city.
Besides Meng Qi, there were fifteen other immortals and gods present.
These fifteen immortals and gods came from different main realms. To be chosen by Meng Qi, their strength must have been greater than most immortals and gods.
Among them, Qin Han Chu even saw a familiar face.
"Fellow Daoist Qin!" Lei Kuang Niu also saw Qin Han Chu and called out in surprise.
