Rise to God with Life Skill Professions

Perhaps a solution, or perhaps something else.

But no matter what, he had to take a look.

...

After leaving the open space, Qin An arrived at Marshal Liu’s room.

At this moment, Marshal Liu was sitting on a chair in the room, his expression incredibly solemn.

Even the jar of wine beside him had been pushed aside.

When Qin An entered, Marshal Liu pointed to the side.

"Please sit, Mr. Qin."

Qin An, with his hand on the Cold Star Sword, sat down nearby: "Marshal Liu, you called me here alone, what exactly is the matter?"

At this moment, Qin An didn’t want to beat around the bush and asked directly.

Marshal Liu took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Qin, do you want to take the opportunity now and quickly leave the border?"

Qin An frowned and remained silent.

He understood what Marshal Liu meant.

This place was fraught with danger and filled with unimaginable threats.

The collaboration between Emperor Tianwu and the traitors from the Forbidden Area, combined with his own status as the Savior, meant the enemy would most likely try to eliminate him first.

And with Emperor Tianwu at the Celestial Human Realm, standing at the pinnacle of the world, not even Marshal Liu could guarantee Qin An’s safety.

But Qin An had another idea.

"They know I’m here, they won’t let me go. Even if I leave, how far can I escape?"

Qin An shook his head and said, "Instead of talking about this, why don’t you tell me about your second plan?"

Marshal Liu was slightly taken aback: "How did you guess I had a second plan?"

Qin An replied flatly, "Not only do you have a second plan, but it likely involves me—perhaps requiring me to take action."

If it were something simple, there’d be no need to call Qin An here.

Now, he was quite interested in this second plan.

Hearing this, Marshal Liu took a deep breath and said, "Earlier, Mr. Qin, you also heard me mention the Ten-Thousand Troops God-Slaying Formation. The so-called formation grants me temporary power at the Celestial Human Realm using the strength of ten thousand troops."

"This is the secret of military personnel and the foundation that allows me to defend the border."

Qin An was slightly surprised to hear this: "I see, no wonder Marshal Liu is so calm. But what does it have to do with me?"

To temporarily attain Celestial Human Realm power was indeed beyond Qin An’s expectations.

But now, Qin An was more curious about how this matter related to him.

Marshal Liu mused, "If I deploy the Ten-Thousand Troops God-Slaying Formation, there will be a problem—all the soldiers will be unable to fight."

"And the opponent also has other soldiers, including experts at the Manifest Saint Realm among them."

"How will they respond?"

Hearing this, Qin An slightly furrowed his eyebrows.

According to Marshal Liu’s statement, there was indeed a big problem.

Not to mention anything else, just dealing with these remnants of the former dynasty was no small feat.

Let alone the demon pseudo-gods.

Qin An straightforwardly said, "What do you need me to do, Marshal Liu? Just say it, as long as I can do it, I will certainly spare no effort."

This matter was beneficial to both the border and the Daqian Kingdom, as well as to himself.

If he could eliminate this group of remnants from the former dynasty in one go, it would be one less significant danger for himself.

Of course, he was willing to act.

He just didn’t know what exactly he needed to do.

Marshal Liu took a deep breath, his gaze gradually becoming sharp.

"Emperor Tianwu has just broken through to the Celestial Human Realm and needs some time to stabilize; he won’t act rashly."

"And this period is the key moment for us to break through."

"Mr. Qin, you hold the title of Savior; this is our only hope for victory."

Qin An frowned: "The Forbidden Area? Does Marshal Liu want me to take action? But it’s simply impossible, because even the Defenders of the Forbidden Area can’t leave it."

Not to mention, the group of Defenders simply couldn’t leave the Forbidden Area.

They also couldn’t come over to help.

Marshal Liu shook his head: "Not far from the northern border, in the desert, there is a Forbidden Area called the Yellow Sand Forbidden Land. They have a treasure called the Yellow Sand Seal."

"When used, this seal can cause the yellow sand to fill the sky, trapping the opponent."

"If we could borrow this seal, we might be able to trap those surplus remnants of the former dynasty, allowing me to focus on dealing with Emperor Tianwu."

"But the Yellow Sand Forbidden Land doesn’t trust the Daqian Kingdom, so I can’t borrow it. Only you, Mr. Qin, can try, using your status as the Savior."

At this point, Marshal Liu paused, saying no more.

He had explained everything clearly; now it depended on how Qin An would solve it.

Qin An pondered for a moment and said, "During my last trip to the capital, I didn’t see this Forbidden Area either."

Back then, Emperor Xuanwu had gathered many Forbidden Areas in the capital for him, but the Yellow Sand Forbidden Land wasn’t within the capital’s scope.

Qin An didn’t know if they would do him this favor.

After all, the Defenders of the Forbidden Areas, who didn’t quite approve of the Daqian Kingdom, might not necessarily believe the claims of a so-called Savior.

Of course, while he spoke, he knew he had to try.

Marshal Liu shook his head: "Mr. Qin, just do your part. No matter what, as long as you’ve tried your best, even if things don’t work out, there will be no regrets, right?"

Qin An nodded slightly, then stood up and said, "In that case, please give me a map to the Yellow Sand Forbidden Land."

There was a method to solve this, a way to break the stalemate, and Qin An didn’t want to waste any time.

It would be better to resolve the matter sooner, settle the crisis here, and perhaps even his own crisis.

Marshal Liu, not being a person to dawdle, agreed and took out a map from the side to hand to Qin An.

Receiving it, Qin An examined it briefly, identified the direction, and then cupped his hands in farewell, hurrying toward the Yellow Sand Forbidden Land.

Now, only Marshal Liu remained in the room.

Looking at the empty hall, Marshal Liu clenched his fists tightly: "This time, let me have a thorough reckoning with these people from the former dynasty."

The room returned to silence, as if nothing had ever happened.

...

The Yellow Sand Forbidden Land is not far from the northern border, about 50 li (approximately 16.5 miles) away?

This distance might be long enough for ordinary people, but for a cultivator like Qin An, it was not far at all.

In just half a day’s effort, Qin An rushed to the entrance of the Yellow Sand Forbidden Land with all his might.

It was a desert, stretching as far as the eye could see.

But if looked at closely, one would find swirls of twisted air spreading throughout this desert.

This twisted air was the entrance to the Yellow Sand Forbidden Land.

It is said that the yellow sand within the Forbidden Land is even more terrifying than this desert.

Its most frightening aspect is not its harm, but its ability to make one lost within.

Cultivators entering it might very well become lost because of the yellow sand.

In their confusion, they would gradually exhaust their own energy and physical strength, even unable to replenish their Void Essence.

Eventually, they would lose their true selves in the vast yellow sand, becoming a walking corpse.

As the Savior, Qin An had no hesitation and stepped into the twisted space ahead.

As he stepped into this twisted space, his vision immediately blurred.

Once everything became clear again, he found himself in another desert.

This desert’s yellow sand was many times denser than outside, to the point where he couldn’t see his hand in front of him.

The fierce sound of wind roared in his ears, carrying yellow sand harshly toward him.

Qin An’s mind stirred, unleashing his Void Essence.

The Dharma Aspect enveloped his body, isolating the yellow sand.

He tried to strike with a blade, but he couldn’t break through the veil of yellow sand.

Even if he did break through, the sand would quickly close, making it impossible to discern any direction.

In this situation, even Qin An didn’t know where to head next.

But he was not anxious; after a deep breath, he planted his long sword into the yellow sand in front of him and then slowly said.

"I am Qin An, here in the Yellow Sand Forbidden Land, wishing to meet with the leader of your Defenders. May I see you now?"

As soon as the words fell, the previously dense yellow sand suddenly paused, and surprisingly, it opened up a path just wide enough for one person to pass.
