Chapter 22 Mystery, a Person Who Has Lived for Two Thousand Years

Qin Feng had flipped through the book for more than ten minutes. Most of the content was the same. Suddenly, something piqued his interest. There were a series of inexplicable words starting from “10.1”.

“10.1. It’s opening!”

“10.2. It’s finally open!”

“10.3. I’m about to embark on a journey. Hopefully, I can return home safely.”

“10.4. I’ve reached the fifth level of this desolated cave.”

At this point, the content changed drastically. Based on the writing style, the next entry should be “10.5”. However, it was “2.23” instead.

“2.23. If we look into the Abyss, the Abyss will look back.”

After that entry, the numbers were no longer coherent.

“3.17. I’m extremely worried. If these monsters rose to the surface, will humans be able to survive?”

“3.22. They’re not dead! What’s going on?!”

“4.16. Another immortal that won’t die!”

“4.28. Are they… Really humans?”.

“9.9. The legend is true! He’s… The first emperor! I swear I’m not mistaken!”

After reading that, Qin Feng’s heart was filled with disturbance. Although he did not really understand the book’s content, the words “first emperor’ caught his full attention. Who was the “first emperor’ in this world? Based on the public’s common knowledge, it should be Qin Shi Huang. Did the owner of this book really see him?

This world may be filled with martial artists and their life expectancy had increased by a lot, but they were still mortals.

A martial artist living for two hundred years was normal. Even four hundred years was possible. It all depended on the person’s strength and health.

However, Qin Shi Huang was a figure from two thousand years ago! No one believed that a person could live that long. It was simply impossible! On the other hand, if this was true, there was a high chance there were many others like Qin Shi Huang.

Upon thinking of this, Qin Feng got goosebumps. First of all, why was Qin Shi Huang in that so-called desolated cave? How was he still alive? What was the meaning of “If we look into the Abyss, the Abyss will look back.”? Also, what was hidden on the fifth level of the cave?

Questions keep popping into Qin Feng’s mind. The system was right. This word was not simple. Martial arts was not everything. Once he became stronger, he could learn more.

Just as Qin Feng’s thoughts were running wild, the system said, “I’m going to refine this Blood Bead. It’ll probably take more than half a month. You can cultivate in peace.”

“Alright.”

Qin Feng did not ask any further questions. At the moment, his mind was in shambles.

Shortly after, the system went silent.

Qin Feng sat at the front door of his house. His brows furrowed. When he first transmigrated, he thought this was simply a high-level martial arts world. However, things had changed. If Qin Feng was just an ordinary person, he would never encounter such a situation. In any case, he felt uneasy. There was an unknown and terrifying existence lurking somewhere.

Regardless, none of this would matter if he was powerful enough. It was still all about strength. Only the weak would suffer.

Qin Feng could not help but let out a deep breath. He temporarily dispelled those thoughts and went to the training field. The system would be occupied for about half a month. During this time, he could not just stay idle. He had to increase his strength as much as possible.

Learning was like sailing a boat against the current. It was tough and dangerous. Despite that, the end results would be worth it.

If something dangerous happened, who would die first? Those who were strong or those who were weak? The answer was obvious! Under such circumstances, Qin Feng was motivated to cultivate and increase his strength.

In a blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Qin Feng’s strength had increased exponentially. Although the system was occupied, its functions could still be used as per normal. Hence, Qin Feng took full advantage of it.

During this time, the Myriad World Pond had refreshed twice. Qin Feng had obtained spiritual grass and stone from it. When he fished out those two items, he was dumbfounded. Why were there grass and stones?

Although Qin Feng was confused, he did not waste any time and devoured the spiritual grass.
