Chapter 145: Su Qimen

The nine grotto-heavens of the Heaven Secrets Manor were named after Patriarch Heaven Secrets’ Mystic Gate Divination and Eight Trigrams.

They were: Mystic Gate grotto-heaven, Hidden Armor grotto-heaven, Eight Trigrams grotto-heaven, Yin-Yang grotto-heaven, Wind Empress grotto-heaven, Taiji grotto-heaven, Twin Poles grotto-heaven, Four Symbols grotto-heaven, and Book of Changes grotto-heaven.

There were a total of nine.

Qi Ming had just started refining the Heaven Secrets Manor. He could only open the entrance to the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven and could only enter it for the time being.’

“Su Qimen.” Qi Ming said, “You’re the Manor Spirit of the Heaven Secrets Manor. You know more about it than me. Tell me about this Heaven Secrets Manor, the nine grotto-heavens, and the situation of the Heaven Secrets Manor.”

“Yes.” Su Qimen nodded, “The Heaven Secrets Manor contains worlds of its own. When the Young Master is in the Heaven Secrets Manor, you can use the power of the manor to fight your enemies.”

“In the Heaven Secrets Manor, there are also the 28 Constellation Array, the Mystic Gate Divination Array, the Five Elements Cycle Array, the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Array, and many other different array formations. There are a total of 108 array formations of all sizes.”

“After putting them all together, there are a total of 129,600 different changes.”

“Young Master, you’ve only just refined the Heaven Secrets Manor. You can only grasp the power of the manor at the initial stage. There are still many abilities that you can’t activate or use.”

“Regarding the nine grotto-heavens, your cultivation level is too low, Young Master. You’re only at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm. If you want to enter the nine grotto-heavens to train or subdue the Heaven Secrets lineage, I think that you have to at least be at the Soul Formation realm. It’s best if you’re in the Dao Integration realm.”

“…”

Su Qimen introduced and explained the Heaven Secrets Manor and the nine grotto-heavens to Qi Ming one after another.

Because he had been sleeping for too long, tens of thousands of years had passed. He did not know what the situation in the nine grotto-heavens would be.

Under such circumstances, he could only advise Qi Ming not to enter the grotto-heaven world for the time being. He could first increase his cultivation and strength before entering.

“As expected of the Heaven Secrets Manor created by Master. It has already completely fused the Dao of Heaven Secrets and three Small Divine Techniques. There are also many changes that are impossible to guard against.”

Qi Ming secretly praised, “I’m not anxious about the grotto-heaven world. The nine grotto-heavens are in the Heaven Secrets Manor and are connected to it. I can go anytime I want.”

“I’m relieved that Young Master thinks so.” Su Qimen said.

Then, Qi Ming chatted about many things with Su Qimen. He also told Qi Ming many things that had happened ten thousand years ago, allowing him to know many things.

“Su Qimen, you’re finally awake.”

At this moment, Shangguan Wenge came to the door of the main courtyard and said indifferently.

Su Qimen looked over. His expression did not change, but his eyes were filled with disgust, “You’re actually not dead.”

“Hehe.” Shangguan Wenge immediately sneered, “Even if Patriarch Heaven Secrets dies, I won’t die.”

“Hmph!” Su Qimen snorted coldly and cupped his hands in greeting to Qi Ming, “Young Master, do you know the background of this Shangguan Wenge?”

“I’m not sure.” Qi Ming said.

“We still have to talk about it at that time.”

Su Qimen began to expose Shangguan Wenge, “He was originally only a scholar who was down and out. He could only rely on his wife to live. He studied hard and only wanted to be ranked on the Golden Rankings. He entered the capital to rush for the examinations, but he failed to achieve anything. After he returned home in a daze, he discovered that his entire family had died. Moreover…”

“Su Qimen, shut up!”

Shangguan Wenge suddenly raised his head, and his eyes were scarlet red. There was a type of demonic qi and Divine Dao qi flowing endlessly around his body, “If you say another word, believe it or not, I’ll make you vanish completely.”

“Hehe…”

Su Qimen sneered, “Old fellow, who are you threatening? In your current situation, your entire cultivation has been sealed. What can you do?”

“You can try.” Shangguan Wenge said word by word.

“Young Master.” Su Qimen’s gaze flickered, “Tens of thousands of years ago, Shangguan Wenge was a great demon who treated human lives as dirt. He cultivated the Demon Dao in the beginning, and midway, he switched to the Divine Dao.”

“Moreover…”

“In order to fuse the Demon Dao and the Divine Dao, he transformed into a Calamity Fiendcelestial and planned a calamity that swept through the entire Southern Region. If not for Patriarch Heaven Secrets’ flawless plan and setting up an inescapable net, the entire Southern Region would have been plunged into misery and suffering.”

“An old demon like him should be destroyed directly.”

“Ridiculous.” Shangguan Wenge snorted coldly in disdain, “How much better do you think you can be? Su Qimen, you were originally a North Sea Evil Dragon that wreaked havoc in the surroundings of the North Sea and caused trouble, causing countless people to die. In the end, didn’t you fall into the hands of that old fellow, Patriarch Heaven Secrets? You were even refined into this Heaven Secrets Manor’s spirit.”

“In terms of sins…”

“You have also committed many sins.”

“The pot calling the kettle black?”

“Young Master.” Shangguan Wenge said, “I feel that we can refine this Su Qimen’s Essence Soul and let your spirit pet absorb it. Perhaps it can let your spirit pet advance further and directly transcend the third Dragon Transformation Tribulation. It can reach the heavens in a single step and become the Yinglong.”

“What?” Su Qimen was stunned, “Spirit pet? Dragon Transformation Tribulation? This… Young Master…”

“That’s true.” Qi Ming nodded.

“Black Flame, come out.”

Qi Ming waved his right hand, and a black light flashed. Black Flame came out of the spirit pet growth slot and transformed into a humanoid little boy.

“Master.” Black Flame bowed.

Qi Ming nodded.

“This… this…”

Su Qimen was stunned. His gaze looked over and landed on Black Flame. He gasped and exclaimed, “The… the Dao of Dragon Transformation. He… he even passed the Dragon Transformation Tribulation.”

“Dragon! It’s indeed a dragon!”

In the Mystic World, demons with the True Dragon bloodline could choose two different paths.

The first one was the Dao of Dragon Transformation.

Cultivating the Dragon Transformation Scripture of different attributes and types required only to transcend the Dragon Transformation Tribulation and become a True Dragon step by step. Then, they would ascend to the higher world and become a True Dragon.

At that time, even if they entered the higher realm, their status would not be low as a True Dragon Immortal.

The second type was the path of cultivation.

That was to not transform into a dragon and only cultivate the cultivation technique realm. Under normal circumstances, they would increase his cultivation step by step and eventually ascend to the higher world. However, in this situation, after entering the higher world, their status would be very low.

The Dao of Dragon Transformation was clearly more difficult than the Dao of Cultivation.

Moreover, it was dangerous.

Not only did the Dragon Transformation Dao need to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation, but it also needed to transcend the three Dragon Transformation Tribulations. Each time, it was more dangerous than the last. If one was not careful, they would lose everything and die.

One only needed to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation to cultivate the Dao.

Black Flame walked the Dao of the Dragon Transformation. Moreover, it was not an ordinary Dragon Transformation. It cultivated the Universal Supreme Dragon Transformation Scripture. This was the fundamental method of the Ancient Demon Emperor: Yinglong.

What Su Qimen walked was not the Dao of Dragon Transformation, because he was originally a North Sea Evil Dragon. His True Dragon bloodline was already at the level of a Dragon. He had once thought of walking the Dao of Dragon Transformation, but he had given up because it was too dangerous and difficult. He walked the Dao of Cultivation.

“Hello.” Black Flame greeted Su Qimen.

“Young… Young Master… This… You…”

Su Qimen’s expression had already stiffened on the spot. He was extremely shocked and stunned in his heart. He was not only shocked that Black Flame had passed the Dragon Transformation Tribulation.

Most importantly, he noticed Black Flame’s age.

After Black Flame transformed into a human, he was only a teenage boy.

He was too young.

His true age would not exceed a hundred years.

“How is this possible?”

Su Qimen exclaimed, “How can a spirit pet walk the path of the Dragon Transformation? Moreover, it succeeded and passed the Dragon Transformation Tribulation to become a dragon.”

“Passing the Dragon Transformation Tribulation at such a young age.”

“This is simply too monstrous.”

“Too monstrous!”

“Young Master.”

Shangguan Wenge continued, “Shangguan Wenge is a North Sea Evil Dragon. The true dragon bloodline in his body is extremely dense. Moreover, his cultivation level back then was not low. Young Master, if your spirit pet swallowed him, I believe it will grow greatly.”

“You… you’re bullsh*tting…”

Su Qimen returned to his senses. He was shocked and his face was pale. He had just woken up from a slumber that had lasted for tens of thousands of years. He did not want to be swallowed by a small dragon that had not grown up.

“Young… Young Master.”

Su Qimen quickly said, “You must not listen to Shangguan Wenge’s nonsense. Young Master’s spirit pet aptitude is peerless and rare in the world.”

“Under such circumstances, Young Master’s spirit pet has broken through the Dragon Transformation Tribulation. If it devours me, not only will it not be beneficial to Young Master’s spirit pet, but it will also taint the bloodline of Young Master’s spirit pet. It’s really not worth it.”

“Shangguan Wenge doesn’t know this at all, that’s why he’s talking nonsense.”

“Young Master, please reconsider.”

Su Qimen bowed.

“Alright.”

Qi Ming waved his right hand and let Black Flame return to the spirit pet growth slot.

“Are the two of you so at odds? You want to kill each other from the beginning?”

Qi Ming looked at Su Qimen and Shangguan Wenge because the conflict between the two of them was too obvious. As long as one was not an idiot, they would not be able to tell, “What’s the matter?”

“Why don’t you tell me?”

“This…” Su Qimen pondered.

“Hehe.”

Shangguan Wenge sneered a few times and said in a disdainful tone, “This matter is very simple. Back then, because I fell into Patriarch Heaven Secrets’ trap, I made a bet and lost to him. I had no choice but to become his subordinate.”

“That battle was chaotic. Many of Patriarch Heaven Secrets’ treasures were destroyed. After the battle ended, he could only think of ways to refine various treasures.”

“Patriarch Heaven Secrets wanted to refine the Heaven Secrets Manor, but he lacked a Manor Spirit. Therefore, he used the Heaven Secrets Technique to deduce and lock onto the fact that the North Sea Evil Dragon was the most suitable for the Heaven Secrets Manor Spirit.”

“I was the one who captured him back then.”

“This old loach is very slippery. His mouth is especially smelly. He was beaten quite a bit back then…”

“Shangguan Wenge.”

Su Qimen roared, “What are you smug about? Back then, if not for being trapped by Patriarch Heaven Secrets’ Heaven Secrets Array, I would not have been able to unleash 50% of my strength and divine powers. How could you be my match?”

“You don’t look convinced.”

Shangguan Wenge said indifferently, “You’re not convinced? Then let’s spar again?”

“So be it. Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Su Qimen shouted.

“Alright.” Qi Ming berated, “Shut up, the two of you. According to your age, the two of you are almost 100,000 years old. Can you be more mature?”

“How many years has it been? Why are you still not letting go?”

“Young Master is right.”

Su Qimen lowered his head.

“Since Young Master has said so, I’ll let him off.”

Shangguan Wenge shrugged.

“You…”

Su Qimen frowned and glared back.

“The two of you can leave.”

Qi Ming held his forehead with his right hand and waved his hand.
