#40 - Fusion state!
Qin Yi retracted his divine sense and looked towards the headquarters of the Cultivation Association, thinking to himself:
"Wu Hou hasn't returned."
Although Wu Hou was not present, Qin Yi saw another early-stage Void Refinement cultivator in the Cultivation Association through his divine sense.
It was the person who had previously prepared to attack him but was stopped by Lan Wenhao.
"It doesn't matter. Since Wu Hou hasn't returned, I'll use you as the starting point."
Just as Qin Yi was about to fly towards the headquarters of the Cultivation Association, a stream of light flew from the distance.
The stream of light dissipated, and an old man wearing a Taoist robe, with a rather immortal-like appearance, stood in front of Qin Yi.
The old man looked at Qin Yi with a serious expression, and asked with a gentle tone but with a hint of severity:
"Which family are you a disciple of? Having reached such a cultivation level, don't you know that Kyoto stipulates that all cultivators are not allowed to release their divine sense extensively within the Kyoto area?"
Qin Yi was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know about this regulation.
He used the Eye of Exploration to look at the old man. In the Eye of Exploration, the old man's cultivation level was unknown.
Qin Yi was shocked and thought to himself, "Could it be a Body Integration Realm cultivator?"
The Body Integration Realm was the name of the realm after Void Refinement.
Recalling what Lan Tianhe had said to him, that all the controllers of the three major cultivation holy lands on Blue Star were at the Void Refinement Completion stage, and he had never heard of the existence of a Body Integration Realm cultivator.
Just as Qin Yi was puzzled, the old man seemed to see through Qin Yi's doubts and stroked his long beard, saying:
"I am a member of the China Dragon Guard, and I am different from the Kunlun Secret Realm, the Fire Cloud Secret Realm, and the Water Moon Secret Realm."
"If it weren't for my China Dragon Guard being able to steadily suppress these three secret realms, how could they be so well-behaved?"
Hearing what the old man said, the doubts in Qin Yi's heart were instantly resolved.
He had been wondering why the three major secret realms were willing to stay in a corner and were unwilling to occupy Kyoto with their high cultivation levels.
The reason was that there were Body Integration Realm cultivators in Kyoto. Unless they were out of their minds, the gap in combat power between major realms would only increase in the later stages.
Taking the Kunlun Secret Realm as an example, the three Void Refinement Completion cultivators in the Kunlun Secret Realm probably wouldn't be enough to fight the old man in front of him even if they were tied together.
"Senior, I really didn't know that Kyoto had this regulation. I apologize," Qin Yi said sincerely.
Seeing Qin Yi's sincere attitude, the old man's expression eased a lot. He looked at Qin Yi with a curious expression and said, "Your attitude is not bad, but in my memory, there is no one in the younger generation who can reach your level of cultivation. Where did you come from, young friend?"
"Senior..."
Before Qin Yi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the old man in front of him. The old man said, "Calling me 'Senior' is too distant. My name is Qi Yun. Just call me Old Qi."
"Old Qi, I just returned from secluded cultivation overseas. It's normal that you don't have any impression of me," Qin Yi explained.
At the same time as he spoke, Qin Yi was prepared to retreat at any time.
Qin Yi never had the habit of placing his hopes on other people's character. If the old man in front of him made any dangerous moves, what Qin Yi had to do was to react as quickly as possible.
Old Qi looked at Qin Yi up and down a few times and said meaningfully, "Young man, you are lying to me."
Hearing this, the hairs on Qin Yi's body almost stood up, and he looked at Old Qi with a guarded expression.
Unexpectedly, Old Qi laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Don't be nervous. Everyone has their own opportunities. You can reach such a cultivation level at a young age, which only shows that this is your good fortune."
"Although cultivators have to fight with the heavens, if they lose themselves in this process and are occupied by greed, it will be difficult to make any further progress."
"I have said this to many people, but they don't believe it. The most typical example is the current controllers of the three major secret realms. Each of them is occupied by greed, which has caused their cultivation levels to be stuck in the Void Refinement Realm for many years and unable to break through."
Qin Yi asked, "It doesn't seem fair to blame them. The spiritual energy on Blue Star is depleted, and cultivation resources are very limited. If there is a great opportunity placed in front of you, wouldn't you be tempted?"
Qi Yun thought seriously for a long time, looked at Qin Yi with clear eyes, and said, "We cultivators should move forward step by step in a down-to-earth manner. If an opportunity is destined for me, I will take it. If it is not destined, it will not have any impact. Young friend, what is your name?"
From Qi Yun's performance, Qin Yi did not detect any falsehood or affectation, but instead, it revealed a sense of detachment everywhere. He replied, "Qin Yi."
"Haha, young friend Qin, we will meet again if we are destined. Remember, don't release your divine sense randomly."
After Qi Yun finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared from Qin Yi's sight.
Qin Yi stood in place, thinking about Qi Yun's words. After a long while, he flew towards the headquarters of the Cultivation Association.
The question he asked Qi Yun was also the question he had been unable to answer in his heart.
The system fell from the sky and, in less than a year, brought earth-shattering changes to his life.
Sometimes, Qin Yi felt that this kind of great opportunity was unreal, as if he were living in a dream.
He was even afraid that the dream would quietly wake up one day, the system would leave him, and he would return to the ordinary person he was before, without any cultivation.
But today, after hearing Qi Yun's words, Qin Yi's heart gradually brightened.
"Even if the system leaves me one day, even if I return to being an ordinary person, I will take one step at a time and move forward firmly, restoring my cultivation."
[Ding! Detecting that the host's state of mind has improved, rewarding a limited-time purchase of the Awakening Secret Realm once.]
[Ding! The limited purchase time for the Awakening Secret Realm is three days. The countdown has now begun. Please go to the system store to check.]
Qin Yi, who had unraveled the knot in his heart, breathed a sigh of relief and opened the system store. He saw the Awakening Secret Realm that was constantly counting down, as well as its price.
[Awakening Secret Realm, Price: 1,000 System Store Points.]
After seeing the price, Qin Yi rubbed his eyes in disbelief and continued to look.
"One thousand points is ten million low-grade spirit stones. Where am I going to get so many spirit stones in three days?"
Qin Yi was immediately a little troubled. Although the last Awakening Secret Realm was dangerous, it had many benefits, and the improvement to his own combat power was very obvious.
This time the Awakening Secret Realm appeared, Qin Yi would not give up no matter what.
Thinking of this, he flew towards the headquarters of the Cultivation Association at an even faster speed.
Arriving at the headquarters of the Cultivation Association, Qin Yi kicked open the door and walked in.
"Who!"
"Stop!"
One after another, burly men in black appeared in front of Qin Yi and shouted at him.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!..."
Qin Yi did not kill these ordinary people who had no cultivation.
With a slight mobilization of the powerful divine sense of the mid-stage Void Refinement, these ordinary people fell to the ground one by one and fainted.
From the first floor to the top floor, Qin Yi saw the direct descendants of the Wu family and the person who wanted to attack him on the top floor.
Without saying a word, Qin Yi drew the Killing Life Blade and shouted in a low voice:
"Killing Life·Annihilation!"
A round moon appeared in the top floor, enveloping everyone inside.
Tens of thousands of Killing Life Blade phantoms emerged within the round moon, with the tips of the blades pointing straight down.
"Chop!" Qin Yi swung the blade down.
Tens of thousands of Killing Life Blade phantoms instantly attacked the crowd below.
"Chih!"
"Chih!"
"Chih!..."
The round moon dissipated, and all the direct descendants of the Wu family were killed. The only living person standing in the field was Zhang Yuan.
When Zhang Yuan resisted the Annihilation Blade Technique, he was slashed by the Killing Life Blade phantom, and his whole body was covered in blood. He said with a face full of disbelief:
"How did your injuries recover so quickly? Why has your cultivation level suddenly improved so much again? This kind of attack intensity has actually reached the early stage of Void Refinement. This is not true, it's not true."
Qin Yi looked at Zhang Yuan with a cold expression and said in a cold voice, "If you have any doubts, go to hell and ask the King of Hell. The King of Hell will tell you."
"Killing Life·Soul Scattering!"
