Chapter 32: Having received my true words, I bestow upon you a destiny of immortality.
When the woman opened her eyes, Qin Zhixue, who was sitting cross-legged under the starry sky, suddenly woke up and opened her eyes as well.
Then she witnessed a scene she would never forget.
But then, in the void ahead, a celestial palace appeared within the endless, distant space-time passage.
A stunningly beautiful woman in flowing palace attire suddenly rose from the celestial palace, stepped out with her jade-like feet, and strolled through the void.
Her waist-length hair flew in the wind, and her whole body radiated a divine glow.
At first glance, she seemed to be in the distant starry sky.
The next instant, she appeared high in the sky in front of Qin Zhixue.
"Having received my true words... I bestow upon you the destiny of immortality!" The woman's words were ethereal, like the voice of the Great Dao, and possessed an unparalleled majesty.
The next moment, the woman in palace attire extended her fair, jade-like finger and touched Qin Zhixue's brow.
hum!
A divine glow shone forth, and celestial energy flowed into Qin Zhixue's body.
When the immortal energy entered her body, Qin Zhixue felt an unparalleled aura enveloping her.
She was completely absorbed in it, and her consciousness gradually became hazy.
As her eyelids drooped, she saw the long-haired woman's body getting further and further away, as if she had returned to a distant time and space.
The sunken spacetime tunnel in front disappeared.
Everything returned to calm.
It seems that nothing has ever happened.
But on the stone platform.
Wei Zhan, however, saw a sudden burst of intense light emanating from Qin Zhixue.
The powerful aura forced Wei Zhan to retreat repeatedly.
Wei Wuji, who was standing nearby, was also startled and woke up from his meditation.
When Wei Zhan looked closely, he saw that the light vanished in an instant, as if it had merged into Qin Zhixue's body.
"What happened?" Wei Wuji asked.
"I don't know either!" Wei Zhan said. "I just saw a bright light suddenly emanating from the little girl's body."
"That terrifying aura was so oppressive it felt like my mind was about to break!" Wei Zhan was filled with fear and looked at Qin Zhixue with apprehension.
"It seems this little girl has encountered quite a stroke of luck!" Wei Wuji murmured.
He had already stood up, one hand behind his back, the other holding the Purple Cloud Sword, and his expression was complicated as he looked at Qin Zhixue.
Sixteen years ago, by chance, he stumbled into this area, observed the fourteen-character mantra, and comprehended its profound meaning.
He reached the level of keen perception in one fell swoop and entered the realm of Grandmaster.
But apart from that, he gained nothing else.
Judging from the current situation, this young girl has clearly made a significant contribution.
Wei Wuji came here for two purposes:
Firstly, it is to absorb the spiritual energy of the surrounding world when one's senses are keenly aware.
The spiritual energy here, when inhaled, helps with healing.
Secondly, he wanted to see if he could gain any further insights.
Unexpectedly, Wei Wuji did not gain any further insight, but instead, Qin Zhixue, whom he had captured, obtained a great opportunity.
This made his gaze as gloomy as water.
If Qin Zhixue weren't useful to him, he would have already drawn his sword and killed her.
……
The following day, the tenth day of the ninth lunar month, was sunny.
In the early morning, sunlight streamed down through the thin mist.
Yang Jiuli stopped cultivating and glanced at the Three Lives Stone.
"Three 'Past Life Talismans,' Tier 1!"
"The fourth 'Past Life Talisman' prototype (51/100)."
"Three 'Taiyin Qi Talismans'."
"Three 'Soul Arrows'."
Spiritual Root: Superior Grade Spiritual Root. (Damaged, attributes hidden)
After a night of cultivation, he condensed two more 'Taiyin Qi Talismans'.
The reason why Yang Jiuli did not choose to directly refine his Qi was not only because the spiritual energy here was too thin and it was difficult to improve his cultivation.
Furthermore, his spiritual root is damaged, making it difficult for him to effectively convert spiritual energy into magical power.
Faced with the unknown dangers of the 'Black Abyss', he chose to first transform the condensed spiritual energy into 'Qi Talismans' through the Three Lives Stone.
After all, Yang Jiuli inherited powerful spiritual energy after merging with his memories from his previous life.
His mental attacks were already comparable to those of cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.
If one focuses on Qi cultivation at this moment, one will only reach the first level of Qi cultivation, which is utterly insignificant in the face of a Grandmaster.
If they encounter danger, they will only lose their lives in vain.
Currently, Yang Jiuli has two strategic goals:
First: Accumulate as many trump cards as possible to ensure survival.
Second: Find the spiritual vein, repair the spiritual root, and begin cultivation.
For ordinary cultivators, damage to their spiritual roots means they are unable to cultivate.
However, the Three Lives Qi derived from Yang Jiuli's Three Lives Stone can restore a spiritual root to its original state.
However, this requires a large amount of the Three Lives Qi.
The Qi of Three Lifetimes requires sufficient spiritual energy from heaven and earth to transform; without spiritual veins, it is impossible to meet the needs for repairing spiritual roots.
"It's time to head to the 'Black Abyss'!" Yang Jiuli stood up and walked out of the tent.
Yang Jiuli arrived outside a tent filled with a chilly atmosphere.
"Young Master..." Yang Qin bowed to Yang Jiuli outside the tent.
Ever since Piaoxue Manor defeated the Grandmaster of Wei, Yang Qin has held this young master in high esteem.
As the commander of the secret guards, he naturally knew that the improvement in the manor lord's injuries was mostly related to the young master.
After all, the former master of the manor was already prepared to entrust his son to someone else, but after meeting the young master, things took a turn for the better.
Yang Qin was naturally able to guess some of the inside story.
"Give the order to prepare to go to the 'Black Abyss'," Yang Jiuli said to Yang Qin.
"Yes!" Yang Qin nodded.
Yang Jiuli then went inside the tent.
You must bring your ancestor with you when you go to the 'Black Abyss'.
Some sections were not flat enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass.
Then someone needs to carry the burden of our ancestors!
To prevent his ancestor from making any mistakes, Yang Jiuli planted a "Taiyin Qi Talisman" directly on the coffin.
The runes imprinted on the coffin evolved into a membrane of cold light, protecting it.
In this way, unless it is a Grandmaster, even if there is an attack by a "fierce demon", the ancestor will not be harmed.
The safety of our ancestors must be guaranteed on this trip.
If his ancestor is harmed, Yang Jiuli cannot guarantee that he will be able to use the "Past Life Talisman".
Afterwards, Yang Jiuli went to the tent of Mingjian Villa and planted a "Taiyin Qi Talisman" in the coffin of the Qin family patriarch.
Only then did Yang Jiuli breathe a sigh of relief and let Qin Shisan prepare to set off for the 'Black Abyss'.
Fifteen minutes later, the three groups of people, in a grand procession, drove towards the "Black Abyss" through a sloping entrance.
Eighty miles into the Black Abyss, many ravines appeared ahead, making it impossible for the carriage to proceed.
Left with no other choice, they had to arrange for a group of people to receive the supplies there.
The two old ancestors had no choice but to be taken out of the carriage.
Yang Qin and Yang Bao carried the coffin themselves.
Qin Jianhe was also carrying the coffin with a renowned expert.
Qin Shisan and Yang Xuan stood guard beside him.
Seeing this, Tang Yuan and Tang Xiao were dumbfounded.
"Why are they carrying coffins? Are they afraid they can't defeat Grandmaster Wei, so they prepared these coffins for themselves beforehand?"
Tang Xiao looked at Tang Yuan, surprised.
"No, the weight of the coffin is clearly different from that of the empty coffin!" Tang Yuan said meaningfully, squinting his eyes.
"And the gap is quite large..." His eyes gleamed, and he had a certain guess in his mind.
"The gap isn't small?" Tang Xiao's gaze sharpened as he looked ahead.
An average person weighs only a little over 100 kilograms.
If a Grandmaster's bones are forged like copper or iron, their weight will increase.
The Grandmaster's bones and muscles are like iron and jade, his blood is like mercury, and his weight is even greater.
"What does Father mean?" Tang Yifan asked meaningfully, holding a folding fan.
He also guessed that the coffin might contain the body of a grandmaster.
