My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 786: Hearing the teacher's words, I feel like I'm going to my death

But after taking a few difficult glances, Qin Feng discovered that the teacher did not close his eyes intentionally. 

Heavenly Tower National Teacher ‘s forehead was dripping with big beads of sweat, his brows were furrowed, and the wrinkles on his face were piled together, making his face look a little distorted.

His complexion was pallid, devoid of any color.

Qin Feng even noticed that the teacher’s arms trembled continuously as if he had Parkinson’s disease.

The palm pressing on his head seemed like it could easily break free with a little force.

Soon he came to a conclusion: the pain the teacher endured was not inferior to his own.

It made sense. Since the Dao of the Heavenly Mandate was so strong, and the entire destiny and karma of the Great Qian was involved, how could it be casually passed on to others?

Thinking of this, Qin Feng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. Even if the pain he was suffering at this moment made him worse than death, he did not let out a single cry of pain, but tried his best to accept the Qi sent to him by the teacher.

And when the Heavenly Tower National Teacher slowly opened his eyes and saw this scene, he couldn’t help but show a gratified expression.

As time passed, the rotation of the Star Observatory became faster, and the speed at which the starlight merged into Qin Feng’s body also increased.

After extreme pain, Qin Feng gradually relaxed.

The Platinum Destiny Star in his Divine Sea emitted a dazzling light, and the scenes manifested in his Divine Sea became more vivid and vibrant.

Chi Qi and Bai Su couldn’t help but be attracted by it, and started running around.

At this moment, Qin Feng had a strange feeling. It was as if he could see the myriad lives of The Great Qian.

Some were sowing fields under the scorching sun.

Some were chopping wood and hunting in the mountains.

Some soldiers were battling Demons And Ghosts on the battlefield.

Some scholars were citing classics in the academy.

It seemed that as long as he wanted, he could see everything happening within The Great Qian.

Not only the past but also the present and the future.

When the starlight faded, the Star Observatory also ceased its rotation.

The Heavenly Tower National Teacher slowly removed his palm from Qin Feng’s forehead. His flesh seemed to have shriveled, with his skin sticking to his bones.

From this, one could see how astonishingly draining the previous operation was for him.

Crack!

A crisp sound echoed, and Qin Feng suddenly opened his eyes. Looking back, he saw that the Star Observatory, which had presided over Heavenly Tower for thousands of years, had turned into dust, dissipating with the draught through the top floor.

The Heavenly Tower National Teacher swayed slightly in the wind before he sat down abruptly.

“Teacher!” Qin Feng exclaimed.

The Heavenly Tower National Teacher raised his hand to stop him. “It’s all right, I am just a bit exhausted. I need a moment to rest.”

“It’s urgent; there are some things I need to tell you. Listen carefully.”

After a brief summary, Qin Feng’s expression became extremely grim.

Netherworld is launching a massive invasion into this realm, and Jinyang City is in imminent danger.

And his father was actually imprisoned in the Abyssal Prison, and he will be tortured in the ‘Hell Hades’ in three days, and his soul will be scattered! 

“No wonder Ghost Lord didn’t accept my offering last night and didn’t respond to me. It turns out that the Netherworld has undergone such a change.”

“But if Ghost Lord wants to break ties with me, why would she throw me a bone-shaped token?”

Qin Feng’s mind raced with thoughts, but what he cared about most was his father’s life and safety.

In the battle of Candle Dragon, he had already lost his father once; how could he endure losing him a second time?

But the trouble was in the Netherworld. Even if he wanted to save him, he was powerless.

“Teacher, what should I do?”

The Heavenly Tower National Teacher pondered for a moment and then analyzed, “All this information comes from Li Yang. Ghost Lord knows about Li Yang’s relationship with your father, so it’s highly likely she intentionally had him pass the message to us.”

“Are you suggesting that it’s not Ghost Lord’s intention to subject my father to the punishment of the Netherworld?”

The Heavenly Tower National Teacher nodded slightly and continued, “Although Qin Jian’an is a Ghost Emperor in the Netherworld, his foundation is shallow. He wouldn’t delve too deeply into the power struggles in the Netherworld, nor would he pose a significant threat to other Ghost Emperors.”

“Now someone within the Netherworld is deliberately targeting him, undoubtedly for some purpose, or perhaps to obtain something from him.”

“As to why, I don’t know at the moment.”

“But one thing is certain, whether considering rescuing Qin Jian’an or resolving the imbalance of life and death in the Netherworld, you need to do one thing.”

Qin Feng muttered to himself in a deep voice, “Go to the Netherworld.”

“Correct.”

“But as the teacher said, the Netherworld is currently invading this realm with a large army, so we are in a hostile relationship with them. If we actively go to the Netherworld, we will surely encounter obstacles.”

“Moreover, the boundary between life and death is not easy to breach. Just like when I went to the Netherworld to find the Farshore Flower, it was like separating the soul from the body. Could it be that this time I have to resort to the same trick?”

Qin Feng’s concerns were not without merit; without a physical body, relying solely on the soul would certainly greatly diminish his strength.

In such a situation, harboring fantasies of freely coming and going in the Netherworld was unrealistic. How could he possibly rescue his father or resolve the root cause of the imbalance of life and death?

Could the Heavenly Tower National Teacher not understand these things? He spoke slowly, “Since the beings from the Netherworld are invading this realm by force, they have to tear open the rifts.”

“The battlefield where the two realms clash is at the location of the spatial rift where Jinyang City is situated. That place will attract most of the attention, and therein lies the opportunity.”

“As for entering the Netherworld in a completely physical form…”

The Heavenly Tower National Teacher paused, then asked, “Has Ghost Lord given you anything?”

“Yes,” Qin Feng was stunned, and immediately took out the bone-shaped token from his arms. 

The Heavenly Tower National Teacher took it, examined it carefully, then lightly tapped his index finger on the token. As he infused it with Qi, Netherworld’s Qi surged out, enveloping Qin Feng’s body like a barrier.

“In this state, you can directly pass through the rift in Jinyang City and enter the Netherworld,” the Heavenly Tower National Teacher said.

Feeling the Qi circulating around him, Qin Feng felt as if he were between life and death. So the token Ghost Lord gave him had this function!

Furrowing his brows, he spoke again, “But Teacher, even if I can now enter the Netherworld with peak strength, as someone who hasn’t reached the transcendence realm and hasn’t fully mastered the Dao of Heavenly Mandate, my abilities are still quite limited.”

“Dealing with ghost soldiers and generals may be manageable, but what if I encounter a Ghost Emperor level figure?”

The Heavenly Tower National Teacher replied, “The current upheaval in the Netherworld is undoubtedly related to those undying beings. The urgency of the Netherworld’s invasion into this realm indicates that the situation in the Netherworld is not optimistic, and Ghost Emperors are surely preoccupied elsewhere.”

“This, you can glean from Li Yang’s account.”

“As for why I imparted the Dao of Heavenly Mandate to you, it’s precisely to help you deal with the situation in the Netherworld and find a solution.”

After a pause, the Heavenly Tower National Teacher took a deep breath and continued, “The battle for Jinyang City has already begun, and the opportunity to enter the Netherworld must not be missed.”

“But going alone will inevitably be extremely dangerous. Before you leave, it might be wise to bid farewell to your loved ones and friends.”

Qin Feng’s lips twitched. “Teacher, why do I feel like I’m going to my death when I listen to you? Can’t you say something encouraging? Or you can beat the drum to cheer me up like the Emperor does every time he climbs onto the city wall before the soldiers march off?”

The Heavenly Tower National Teacher gazed at him calmly.

“I was just joking.”
