This God Venerable wielded a low-tier divine artifact, indicating a less than prosperous life.
His divine skills, while decent, were ultimately only God Venerable-tier.
Even in terms of cultivation realm, Qin Hanchu held a slight advantage over him.
Qin Hanchu produced a mid-tier divine artifact and met the charge with his sword.
Upon seeing Qin Hanchu's mid-tier divine artifact, the God Venerable’s eyes filled with greed. "I want that mid-tier divine artifact!"
Qin Hanchu chuckled, "Alright, if you can kill me, it's yours!"
"Kill!"
With the temptation of a mid-tier divine artifact, the God Venerable's fighting spirit intensified.
Qin Hanchu's lips curled into a cold smile as he vanished from his spot in an instant.
He was using the Void Divine Slash, a God Emperor-tier divine skill!
This divine skill allowed Qin Hanchu's speed to increase dozens of times in a mere instant.
Due to the sudden surge in speed, it appeared as if he had teleported.
The God Venerable hadn't expected Qin Hanchu to possess a God Emperor-tier divine skill, his eyes widening in shock.
While he was still in shock, Qin Hanchu's sword had already descended from behind him.
The God Venerable had no time to retaliate as Qin Hanchu's attack powerfully struck him.
Boom!
The God Venerable was sent flying directly backward, his defenses shattered by Qin Hanchu's power!
Swish!
Qin Hanchu vanished from his spot once more, employing the Void Divine Slash again!
"Watch out!"
The God Venerable's companion rushed forward to his rescue.
But their speed was no match for Qin Hanchu's. By the time they arrived, Qin Hanchu's divine sword had already cleaved the God Venerable’s body.
"Save me!"
The God Venerable's divine seal transmitted a terrified plea for help.
He hadn't expected to provoke such a terrifying existence.
With a God Emperor-tier divine skill and a mid-tier divine artifact, Qin Hanchu completely overwhelmed him.
Qin Hanchu once again used the Void Divine Slash, appearing directly before the God Venerable's divine seal.
With a scream, the God Venerable's divine seal exploded.
Thus, a God Venerable met his demise.
Like Axiang, Qin Hanchu was an invincible existence within their same cultivation realm.
"Next, it's your turn!" Qin Hanchu said to the two before him.
The two God Venerables stared at Qin Hanchu in shock, never imagining he was so terrifying.
Their companion had been killed so swiftly.
Qin Hanchu must have more companions nearby; they couldn't possibly be Qin Hanchu's match.
With this thought, the two simultaneously flew off in opposite directions.
"Running quite fast," Qin Hanchu waved his hand, collecting his spoils, not pursuing the two "deserters."
A long while later, the two fleeing God Venerables regrouped.
"I didn't expect that person to possess a God Emperor-tier divine skill. Could he be a descendant of a God Emperor?"
"Who knows? In any case, he's not someone we can afford to provoke."
"What a pity for Old Third. Let's leave quickly."
Afraid to seek revenge against Qin Hanchu, the two hurried away into the distance.
"A God Emperor-tier divine skill. This person must be a disciple of a major power."
"There are likely his helpers within that sealing divine array. We'd best not stir up trouble."
"Let's go. We can't afford to mess with someone who has such a background."
Qin Hanchu's battle was perceived by many. These individuals, who had intended to seize divine medicine, were now awestruck by Qin Hanchu's might.
In the eyes of these God Venerables, possessing a God Emperor-tier divine skill implied a significant background.
Even if Qin Hanchu wasn't a disciple of the Ancient Dao Academy, he was likely the offspring of a God Emperor.
Qin Hanchu's swift execution of that God Venerable was precisely to deter others.
Under Qin Hanchu's intimidation, no one dared to compete for the divine medicine anymore.
Several months later, the divine medicine finally matured.
After Qin Hanchu collected the divine medicine, Axiang finally put away the divine array compass.
"A good start," Axiang said with a smile.
Qin Hanchu replied, "There was also a divine glow in the southeast a few days ago. Let's go check it out."
"Let's go!"
A week later, Qin Hanchu and Axiang arrived at the location where the divine glow had appeared.
The divine glow had been obscured, clearly indicating that other cultivators had also employed sealing arrays.
Qin Hanchu waved his hand, and a massive formation appeared in the air.
Swish swish!
Countless sword energies flew out from the formation, descending like raindrops.
This move by Qin Hanchu didn't possess immense destructive power, but it was a practical method for detecting sealing arrays.
As long as a sealing array was present, it would inevitably reveal itself under its attack.
As expected, the other party was forced out by Qin Hanchu.
"Greetings, two fellow Daoists!"
The God Venerable who emerged from the sealing array first neutralized Qin Hanchu's attack, then bowed respectfully with clasped fists.
"You are so polite, Fellow Daoist. It makes me feel a little embarrassed to make a move," Qin Hanchu said with a smile.
"You two are important figures with considerable backing. We dare not offend you."
The God Venerable guarding this place had witnessed Qin Hanchu's strength, which was why they adopted such a humble posture.
Qin Hanchu stated, "Very well, this divine medicine shall be yours."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist. If you require assistance in the future, we are willing to offer it."
"You may continue," Qin Hanchu turned to Axiang and said, "Let's go find more elsewhere."
As the saying goes, one doesn't strike a smiling face.
Since the other party was so courteous, Qin Hanchu found it difficult to act unreasonably.
"Farewell,"
Under the watchful gaze of the God Venerable, Qin Hanchu and Axiang departed.
Only after Qin Hanchu and Axiang were far away did the God Venerable heave a sigh of relief.
If Qin Hanchu had insisted on seizing it, it would have been difficult for them to protect the divine medicine.
In the following period, Qin Hanchu and Axiang discovered several God King-tier divine medicines.
Although these divine medicines were no longer useful to Qin Hanchu and Axiang, they could be exchanged for divine crystals.
Time flew by like a fleeting white steed. Qin Hanchu and Axiang had spent ten years in the Ten Thousand Ravine Mountain Range.
Aside from the God Emperor-tier divine medicine they initially obtained, their best harvest over the years had been God Venerable-tier cultivation resources.
"Let's search for a while longer. If we don't find any God Emperor-tier resources, we'll change locations," Qin Hanchu said to Axiang.
Axiang replied, "God Emperor-tier resources are not like common cabbage; they aren't that easy to find."
As the two were chatting, three streams of light flew towards them.
These three streams of light quickly approached. The newcomers were none other than the God Venerable who had previously treated Qin Hanchu with courtesy.
"You two haven't left yet?" the God Venerable who had spoken with Qin Hanchu earlier asked, clasping his fists.
Qin Hanchu frowned, "We're looking for a bit longer."
"With your strength, why not participate in the Feng Hua Banquet?"
Qin Hanchu frowned, "Feng Hua Banquet? What do you mean?"
"You two don't know about the Feng Hua Banquet?"
Qin Hanchu wasn't afraid of arousing suspicion and directly nodded, "Indeed, I haven't heard of it."
"The Feng Hua Banquet is a grand event organized by the Ancient Dao Academy. Any cultivator at the God Venerable realm can register to participate."
"If one can achieve a ranking at the Feng Hua Banquet, they will not only earn a spot to join the Ancient Dao Academy but also receive a God Emperor-tier divine pill."
"The person ranked first can even obtain a Ascending Creation Divine Pill!"
"This Ascending Creation Divine Pill can allow a God Venerable to directly advance by a small realm."
