The Secret of Immortality

Chapter 1 – I, The Lord Of The Eternal Tomb Returns

Southern Barrens Prefecture, Cloud City, Qin Family.

“The Qin family’s face has been disgraced by him!”

“Yes, our Qin family also have to abide by the ancestral formation, but he is good at not only going to the brothel, he also has illegitimate children with those women?”

“Fortunately, the princess came to retire from marriage some time ago, or else we, the Qin family of Cloud City, would each have our heads cut off I don’t know how many times!”

“Really.”

Inside the hall, several elders sat on both sides, pointing at a drunk lying on the ground, and beside this drunk sat a seven or eight year old girl who had long since cried until she turned red.

This drunk, who was none other than the second young master of the Qin Family, the current young master of the Qin Family, Qin Zhen.

Only at this moment, Qin Zhen, who was all disheveled and even reeked of alcohol, fell to the ground as if he was “drunk” like an alcoholic.

But there were still many old and new bruises all over his body, and it seemed like he hadn’t been beaten much in his day.

But this didn’t let people feel “pity”, even outside the door of the hall there was a group of disciples, whispering up.

“So? Our young master, has an illegitimate daughter?”

“It seems that having an affair with a woman from a green house is not an empty rumor!”

“Nonsense, otherwise why did the Tenth Princess come to retire from marriage some time ago?”

Each of those elders had an ugly look on their faces, as if they were waiting for someone to speak.

After a while, an Elder finally couldn’t hold back, “Why don’t we rule out this young master’s identity and let him be the fourth young master!”

“That’s right, I think the Fourth Young Master, is more suitable!”

There was a flurry of activity until a bellow sounded out: “Enough of the noise already?”

The crowd immediately shuddered in fear, not daring to make a sound, and the person who spoke was the middle-aged man sitting right in front of the hall, but at this moment, he had long been so angry that his face was pale.

This person, was none other than the head of the Qin Family, and the Qin Zhen lying on the ground, was the son of his own First Lady.

At five, he opened the Xuan Eye and passed the Xuan Qi; at eight, he condensed the blood veins; at ten, he built the Xuan Foundation; at fifteen, he smelted the Xuan Dan; at eighteen, he ascended to the Xuan Soul.

Eighteen years old, ascending to Soul Xuan, not to mention Cloud City, even the entire Southern Barren State, is also the first to do so, causing countless people to come to propose marriage.

But they were all rejected by Qin Zhen, but in the end, he was forced to choose the more prestigious Tenth Princess and got engaged, attracting the envy of countless people.

Who knows that at the age of eighteen that year, Qin Zhen in the green house, went with a woman, and then never came out, the Qin family had to force nine oxen and two tigers to get him out, and since then he has become a drunkard.

He doesn’t cry, he doesn’t make noise, he gets drunk every day, the Qin family can’t do anything about him, they can only leave him at home.

Who knows that today he went crazy, rushed into the street, and then brought a little girl to show to his relatives, but also said that the girl is his daughter.

How could the Qin family elders bear it, they forced the Qin family head to take away Qin Zhen’s right as the family’s young master.

However, if they wanted the Qin Family Lord to abolish Qin Zhen’s position as young master, how could the Qin Family Lord be willing to do so?

But the old men on one side, fanned the flames.

“Family Head, there is still one month left, the young master of our family will have to participate in the Qin Clan Assembly held once every decade, if we don’t re-elect a new young master, I’m afraid that this year, our Qin Family of Cloud City will have to be absent!”

“Once absent, the consequences would be unimaginable!”

“Originally, our Cloud City’s status became low because the princess withdrew from marriage afterwards!”

“Family Master, it’s about time, scrap it!”

The Qin Family of Cloud City was just a branch of the Qin Family of the Southern Wasteland, which was one of the three great families of the Southern Wasteland, calling itself the Qin Clan.

Naturally, the Qin Clan’s cultivation resources were not comparable to that of a branch, so every ten years, the Qin Clan would allow the young masters of the branches to participate in a cut.

The ranking of the young masters was not only related to the status of the branch in the next ten years, but also whether that young master, could enter the Qin Clan to practice powerful Xuan Arts.

How could everyone let the squanderer Qin Zhen get ahead of such an opportunity?

Thus, the scene immediately erupted like a pot, and the discussion went on and on.

But at this moment, an ice-cold voice suddenly came out from the alcoholic Qin Zhen’s mouth, “Why is it so loud? Could it be that the shackles, still can’t catch you?”

The crowd was stunned and looked at Qin Zhen on the ground.

Only his eyes slowly opened, and the familiar yet unfamiliar image before him seemed strange until the coldness of the ground touched the wound, making him feel a sharp pain in the coldness.

This feeling made Qin Zhen feel out of place, “This is, meat?”

Next, Qin Zhen sat up somewhat weakly as everyone watched him.

Then, with a puzzled look at the crowd.

Even the little girl on one side was stunned, and with tears in her eyes, she muttered, “Father!”

“Dad?”

The surrounding crowd, even more agape, looked at Qin Zhen one by one, and some of them even revealed contemptuous eyes, feeling that Qin Zhen had disgraced them as if nothing had happened.

Before Qin Zhen could fully react, his head was shocked, as if something had flashed through his mind, accompanied by a sharp pain, causing him to frantically slap his forehead with his hand.

The old men, one by one, sighed, “Look, drinking so much has made him crazy!”

“Too much fake wine, I see!”

“After playing with the girls in the green house too much has already made him crazy!”

“Could it be that his body can’t take it anymore? Is he hallucinating?”

“What a disgrace for our Qin family!”

“Thank goodness the princess withdrew her marriage with him, otherwise we would all be exterminated!”

Qin Zhen felt like his head was going to explode, and the words chanted in his mouth were more like two people grabbing each other’s bodies: “I am Qin Zhen, I am the Master of the Eternal Tomb, I… this…”

It was as if two different memories “collided” with each other.

“Ah!”

Qin Zhen’s two eyes were instantly covered in blood, and the fists in his hands suddenly clenched, and then the blood in his two eyes gradually dispersed again until they were empty.

Finally the eyes froze for a while longer before changing breath: “My soul, has it finally returned to my physical body?”

Qin Zhen, after attaining the Deng Xuan Soul at the age of eighteen, was able to make his soul leave his body and wander at will, but unfortunately, he naively told his fourth brother about it.

Who would have thought that this fourth stepbrother of his had poisoned him while his soul was traveling extracorporeally, making it impossible for his soul to return to his body and causing his soul to continue wandering outside.

The body of the residual soul is naturally like it is a fool, and it is stupid all day long.

In order to prevent others from noticing, this ruthless fourth brother in turn frantically poured himself alcohol, so that others would mistakenly think that he was drunk and confused.

Not only that, he got him into a green house and found a mysterious woman to bond with, only for the woman to give birth to a child and then disappear with him.

But recently, the sudden appearance of this little girl had instantly aroused the anger of the residual soul within Qin Zhen, and he finally pulled the main soul that was outside back.

However, the soul that wandered outside, eight years ago, discovered the secret realm in the Deadly Wasteland Continent that the powerful had been searching for, the “Tomb of Eternal Life.”

Because if you find the Tomb of Eternal Life, you can find the owner of the Tomb of Eternal Life, and then you can search for the method of eternal life.

Eternal life?

Who wouldn’t?

But who knew that there were many gods and demons imprisoned within the Tomb of Eternal Life, and any one of these gods and demons, at their peak, could easily destroy an entire continent of powerful people.

Thus, the Lord of the Eternal Tomb, again, is the guardian of it, watching over the souls of those gods and demons and preventing them from escaping.

But it just so happened that Qin Zhen became the Tomb Master, the youngest and most terrifying Tomb Master in history, and Qin Zhen forgot about time for a moment because he was there to cultivate.

Because of the fusion of memories between his two souls, he can now fully understand what is going on, he laughed coldly, “Eight years!”

For eight whole years, after Qin Zhen thought that his most trusted fourth brother had screwed himself over so much for the sake of the young master position, he instantly became so angry that he stood up in a heap.

The little girl on the side was frightened by Qin Zhen’s move, and instantly her entire body shrank into a ball, still trembling there as she looked at Qin Zhen.

The people around, looking at Qin Zhen with that gaze, also had an inexplicable fear, as if a sleeping beast suddenly opened its eyes.

But the feeling quickly faded away.

Only Qin Zhen quickly pulled herself together, looked at the weak and helpless little girl beside her, and wondered in her heart, “She, is she the child of that woman and me?”

At this moment, the little girl looked intently at her first-time father, her face a little troubled.

Qin Zhen was deeply afraid of scaring her, so she deliberately lowered her voice and softened it a few notches, “You, what’s your name?”

The little girl froze, she didn’t expect Qin Zhen to be awake, while the people around her also froze, with someone saying crazily, “He woke up?”

“Eight years this, this is the first time, right?”

That’s right, Qin Zhen had been doing nonsense for eight years, and even the Qin family head next door couldn’t help but be surprised.

“My name is Qin Sisi!”

“Qin Sisi?” Qin Zhen looked at that cute little face and couldn’t help but touch her forehead. Only the little girl felt a little flattered and stared at Qin Zhen in a daze for a while.

But at this moment an elder interrupted: “Whether you are sober or not, anyway, today, you will either retire from the position of young master, or let the family head abolish your position!”

The crowd thought that Qin Zhen would refuse, resist, get angry or something of the sort, and the Qin family head who was sitting there was also in a difficult situation for a while.

Who would have thought, Qin Zhen looked at the elder who had just spoken and gave a malevolent smile.

He was the Fifth Elder, in charge of the finances of the Qin Family of Cloud City, so the family head had to weigh his words a few times.

Melon face, still white beard and some silver hair on his head, and a little man beside him, carrying a large golden dragon sword.

This greatness, in the Qin Family of Cloud City, there were very few people who had this qualification.

“The position of Young Master, I don’t care! However…” Qin Zhen’s cold and icy words immediately caused the corners of the Fifth Elder’s mouth to rise, revealing a satisfied smile.

Everyone also thought that Qin Zhen was scared and knew that he should retreat and ask for help, but it turned out that Qin Zhen’s next sentence caused the scene to stir.

Who knows that Qin Zhen’s words turned sharply,

“This position young master, it’s still up to me to decide! She, for one, is good!”

Qin Zhen also pointed at Qin Sisi.

How?

The audience was dumbfounded, especially those old men, they were all red: “Are you kidding me?”

“Making a doll out of the young master?”

“Our Qin family, there is no such precedent!”

“Is this going to make everyone laugh at the fact that we have no one in the Qin Family of Cloud City?”

The Fifth Elder was even more tolerant: “Qin Zhen, we are talking to you properly now, not joking with you!”

“I am not joking either!” Qin Zhen was not intimidated at all.

The Fifth Elder then looked towards the Qin Family Head and said in exasperation: “Family Head, look at this, this, how embarrassing!”

The Qin Family Head was about to open his mouth when Qin Zhen blocked him with a sentence: “This matter, it is settled, how about we summon everyone to the Qin Family Ancestral Hall tonight, I will make an announcement!”

Qin Zhen then looked at Qin Sisi as if nothing had happened and whispered: “Let’s go!”

Although Qin Sisi did not know what it was like to be a young master, she felt very good to be protected by someone, so she forced her tears away and nodded.

The Fifth Elder was furious and even shouted at the Qin Family Head, “Family Head, if you can’t make the decision, I’ll help you!”

The Qin Family Head’s ugly expression, coupled with the fact that all the Elders were having trouble with Qin Zhen at the moment, caused the Fifth Elder to open up the golden Xuan Qi in his body and rush behind Qin Zhen before the latter had a chance to say anything.

Qin Zhen’s cultivation had long been squandered due to taking in too many poisons over the past eight years, so everyone thought that the Fifth Elder’s strength was enough to make Qin Zhen kneel.
