#360 - Red Lotus and the Remains of Heaven

As the gazes of the Heavenly Court First Army soldiers turned to Qin BuYi, those who had fainted on the ground began to awaken one after another.

Feeling the powerful aura of those around them, these newly awakened individuals were somewhat bewildered.

After figuring out what had happened, these people were filled with regret, as if they had missed out on a fortune, lamenting in heartache:

"Why did such a good thing have to slip through my fingers..."

"If I had just held on a little longer, would I have been able to rapidly increase my cultivation realm as well?"

"We're both at the Integration Realm, but my Dao companion's cultivation has already broken through to the Great Ascension Realm, while I'm still stuck at the Integration Realm because I fainted."

The complaints from below caused Qin BuYi above to frown slightly.

"It seems there's a reason why these people fainted; they're just a bunch of weak-willed individuals," Qin BuYi thought to himself.

Seeing Qin BuYi's slight frown, Qin Liang, feeling embarrassed in front of the Heavenly Court First Army soldiers and their families under his command, shouted, "All of you shut your mouths! A bunch of shameful things."

Hearing Qin Liang's reprimand, these people immediately dared not speak.

At the same time, the Heavenly Court First Army sensed Qin Liang's aura of a Perfected Half-Immortal Realm, and they became even more afraid to speak.

Qin BuYi said to Qin Liang beside him, "Qin Liang, congratulations on reaching the Perfected Half-Immortal Realm."

Qin Liang replied to Qin BuYi with a respectful expression, "This is all thanks to Marshal Qin. If it weren't for Marshal Qin bestowing this fortune upon us, I don't know how many years it would have taken me to break through to the Half-Immortal Realm, let alone the Perfected Half-Immortal Realm."

Qin Liang wasn't a fool. Now that things had come to this, he wouldn't believe for a hundredth of a second that this collective breakthrough had nothing to do with Qin BuYi.

"To think that Marshal Qin is so powerful, the thunderous aura and other anomalies in the skies above the Minor Chiliocosm must have also originated from Marshal Qin's hands," Qin Liang thought to himself.

Qin BuYi revealed a hint of a smile and looked at Lan Wenhao and the others, saying, "Congratulations to everyone on your great advancement in cultivation."

How could Lan Wenhao and the others not understand the real reason for their great advancement in cultivation? They quickly replied, "This is all thanks to Brother Qin's blessing."

Xiao Qing sidled up to Huang Daxian and said, "Old Huang, hehe, congratulations on reaching the Perfected Great Ascension Realm."

Huang Daxian couldn't stop the joy on his face and secretly transmitted his voice to Xiao Qing, "Boss Xiao Qing, Master's methods are heaven-defying! So many people have broken through."

"Hehe, even I have broken through to the Perfected Great Ascension Realm. I'm so happy!"

Xiao Qing said to Huang Daxian, "Look at your pathetic self, so happy just because you've broken through to the Perfected Great Ascension Realm?"

"Didn't Master promise you that you could also lie down and improve your cultivation like me?"

Huang Daxian blankly said, "Boss Xiao Qing, isn't that what I'm doing now, lying down and improving my cultivation..."

"This cultivation improvement speed is so fast! In just a little while, I've crossed two major realms from the Integration Realm to reach the Perfected Great Ascension Realm."

Xiao Qing said, "Master's use of methods this time is targeted at the collective. There will definitely be something for you individually later on, so don't worry."

Hearing Xiao Qing's words, Huang Daxian's face lit up with joy and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Boss Xiao Qing."

After Qin BuYi finished speaking, he turned to look at the sky. The changes in the sky hadn't stopped with everyone's breakthroughs.

At the same time, many thoughts and guesses flashed through Qin BuYi's mind as he waited for the next development.

What the others didn't know was that Qin BuYi himself also had some doubts.

For example, why there were no lightning tribulations during the collective breakthrough... and to what extent the changes in the Minor Chiliocosm would reach, and so on.

While the sky above the Minor Chiliocosm was changing, Lan Wenhao and Qi Yun were chatting with each other through voice transmission.

Lan Wenhao said to Qi Yun, "Old Qi, congratulations on breaking through to the Perfected Great Ascension Realm."

Qi Yun replied, "Haha, haven't you also broken through to the Perfected Great Ascension Realm?"

Lan Wenhao said, "We should now be the highest-level cultivators in Blue Star's history, apart from Brother Qin."

Qi Yun said, "Pretty much. If we exclude those myths and legends, we are indeed the highest-level cultivators in Blue Star's history."

Qin Lin, sensing the aura on Qin Liang's body, said, "Marshal Liang, congratulations on breaking through to the Perfected Half-Immortal Realm, haha."

"Marshal Liang, how is the power of the Perfected Half-Immortal Realm?"

Qin Liang said, "It's stronger than the Great Ascension Realm, stronger by more than just a little bit. There's no comparison between the two."

At this moment, Qin Lin approached Qin Liang and secretly transmitted his voice, "You and Marshal Qin are both at the Perfected Half-Immortal Realm now. How is your combat power compared to his?"

Qin Liang said with a wry smile, "Qin Lin, you're really stabbing me in the heart with that question."

Qin Lin asked in confusion, "Marshal Liang, what's wrong?"

Qin Liang said, "Marshal Qin's cultivation and combat power are unfathomable. After my cultivation increased, I actually feel that the gap between me and Marshal Qin has become even greater."

"When I was at the Perfected Great Ascension Realm, I felt that the difference between my cultivation and Marshal Qin's was only one major realm."

"Now that I've broken through to the Perfected Half-Immortal Realm, I feel that it's more than just one realm..."

Qin Liang's words had a great impact on Qin Lin's heart.

Qin Lin said, "Marshal Liang, you're not joking with me, are you? Is Marshal Qin really that terrifying?"

Qin Liang said seriously, "Do I look like I'm joking? Marshal Qin's combat power is more than just terrifying; it's simply as immeasurable as an abyss."

"Do you think it's simple for Marshal Qin to allow so many people in the Minor Chiliocosm to break through one after another?"

Qin Lin said, "Uh... of course it wouldn't be simple."

"Marshal Liang, what do you think Marshal Qin's true identity actually is?"

Before Qin Lin could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Liang, who said, "Marshal Qin's true identity... we should both have a guess in our hearts."

"We should just keep this guess in our hearts and not say it out loud."

After saying these words, Qin Liang sighed in his heart, "What virtue or ability do I, Qin Liang, possess that I can be fortunate enough to follow this ancient, primordial being who resides high above the nine heavens."

The thoughts of the people in the Minor Chiliocosm were different, and Qin BuYi could guess some of their thoughts.

However, Qin BuYi had no intention of explaining. In many cases, the unknown is what brings people the most terror.

Moreover, Qin BuYi currently needed this layer of mist to hide his identity.

In any case, with the system's 999,999 restrictions in place, Qin BuYi wasn't afraid that these people would spread the news about the Minor Chiliocosm, because it was simply impossible.

The aura of nobility and dominance in the sky became increasingly strong, so strong that many people felt a sense of inferiority under this aura.

Just then, the Killing Life Blade in Qin BuYi's hand emitted a blade hum.

"Zheng~"

The blade hum resounded throughout the Minor Chiliocosm.

Qin BuYi looked at the slightly vibrating Killing Life Blade in his hand, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Hong Lian's voice then reached Qin BuYi's ears, "This aura... is so familiar!"

"This is the aura of the Heavenly Court. It's really strange, how could the aura of the Heavenly Court appear here?"

Hearing these words, Qin BuYi thought to himself, "It's strange that the aura of the Heavenly Court appeared here?"

"Wait until you see the Heavenly Court ruins being moved here by me in their entirety, and your jaw will drop in shock."

Hong Lian, having once been a weapon in Haotian's hands, and Haotian being the master of the ancient, primordial Heavenly Court, was very familiar with every blade of grass and tree in the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, it wasn't such a strange thing for her to recognize the aura of the Heavenly Court.

Hong Lian said to Qin BuYi, "Qin BuYi, how could the aura of the Heavenly Court appear here?"

Qin BuYi calmly said words with the power of a bomb, "It's nothing, I moved the Heavenly Court ruins here."

Sure enough, after hearing Qin BuYi's words, Hong Lian fell into silence.

Qin BuYi could be said to have spoken the highest-level thing with the most calm words.

After about a few breaths, Hong Lian said, "Qin BuYi, are you perhaps joking with me?"
