In Eight Scenic Palace, Grand Supreme Elderly Lord laughed as well. “First an Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure and now a Merit Cardinal treasure. This punk Qin Yun sure is impressive! Perhaps he has a chance to survive the final Itinerant Immortal tribulation after all.”
“The Itinerant Immortal tribulation is a tribulation that descends from the Chaos Heavenly Dao. There is nowhere to hide from it and its strength is most unpredictable.” In Jade Void Palace, Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning added, “However, there is always chance in everything. With Qin Yun’s present strength, he should be able to transcend it. If even Qin Yun is unable to transcend it, then this path of the Itinerant Immortal is basically a dead end.”
“Haha, Primordial Beginning, it’s truly rare to hear you praise my disciple,” said Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure with a laugh.
“It’s the truth,” said Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.
…
In a Great World.
Two figures were standing side by side on a mountaintop as they looked towards the Heavenly realm.
“The moment he returned from the spatial tide, the merit he obtained from sacrificing immediately completed his Merit Cardinal treasure. Besides, he, Hou Yi and the rest have probably obtained quite a fair bit of treasure. This really makes me envious and jealous,” a yellow-haired elder said with a smile. By his side was God King Zhurong. He frowned slightly for he detested Hou Yi.
After all, he had been imprisoned for ages, only to suffer an assault by Hou Yi the moment he was freed. Thankfully, he was wise enough to escape after being struck once.
Zhurong naturally felt the pressure when he thought how Hou Yi would have obtained more treasures on his trip to the spatial tide with Qin Yun.
The grudge between him and Hou Yi was irreconcilable!
“Let Qin Yun continue being smug for now. It won’t be long before the twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation comes,” said Zhurong with a shake of his head. “Besides, no one knows if there will be a thirteenth Itinerant Immortal tribulation… If he were to really die under the Itinerant Immortal tribulations, his treasures will have a chance to find a new owner. When the time comes, it would be a question of whose hands his Misty Rain Sword will end up in.”
The yellow-haired elder nodded in agreement. “Once Qin Yun is dead, the Misty Rain Sword will still be a Connate Cardinal Merit Cardinal treasure even in the hands of someone else. Perhaps Green Touring Palace will possess it for a period of time, but once the Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor are forced to leave the Three Realms, Green Touring Palace will not be able to protect it. All Green Touring Palace has is Old Mother of Blackfoal Mountain after all!”
“Not only the Misty Rain Sword, even the various treasures he obtained from the spatial tide cannot be bequeathed to his family because the Qin family is unable to hold on to any of it,” said Zhurong. “The more treasures he has, the more disaster he will invite upon the Qin family.”
“Yes, it will only invite disaster.” The elder nodded.
“You are probably one of the few watching the Qin family, right?” Zhurong asked with a smile.
The elder chuckled and said, “I do admit I’m tempted, but the fiends would probably take action before me.”
Zhurong nodded. “Let’s not talk about these things any longer. Have we come to an agreement on the matter we talked about previously?”
“Yes, let’s agree to it. Since I’ve benefited from you, I’ll definitely do the job.” The elder nodded.
Zhurong nodded before leaving the Great World with one step.
The elder frowned and looked towards the Heavenly realm. “Qin Yun? Qin family? He has entered the spatial tide twice, so he must have quite a fair bit of treasures. Unfortunately, too many people are targeting him. They are all waiting for him to die, so it’s unlikely I’ll be able to obtain any of his treasures.”
******
News of Qin Yun’s Intrinsic Flying Sword, the Misty Rain Sword, becoming a Merit Cardinal treasure quickly spread through the Three Realms. However, Qin Yun did not feel complacent because of it; instead, he felt pressure.
The Qin family was now impressive! It had astounding treasures! If he were to fail to transcend the tribulations and perish, it would only lead to trouble for the Qin family!
On the same day.
Qin Yun secretly came to Green Touring Palace.
“Master.” Qin Yun bowed respectfully.
The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure smiled as he looked at his disciple. He was very pleased that he could recruit such a disciple before he left the Three Realms. The only matter that left him exasperated was… that his disciple had chosen to transcend the tribulations to become an Itinerant Immortal to risk his life against Star Destruction, all so he could save the billions of lives in his homeworld instead of escaping. Although he had saved the billions of lives of his homeworld, he now faced the numerous Itinerant Immortal tribulations.
Of course, although he appeared exasperated on the surface, he liked such a disciple even more deep down.
“I encountered great danger in my trip to the spatial tide this time,” said Qin Yun. “I met an enemy known as Bohan Island Lord. In terms of realm, he had already reached the Heavenly Dao realm! He only chose not to break through his Essence Soul Dharmic powers so that he could deliberately stay in the spatial tide.”
“Reached the Heavenly Dao realm?” Numinous Treasure was astonished as well. “Then, how did you deal with him?”
Qin Yun said politely, “In his long stay in the spatial tide, he has cultivated in many body cultivation Dharmic formulations, so he was extremely powerful. I ignited my Essence Soul to barely stall for time while Hou Yi ignited his Essence Soul to shoot nine consecutive arrows. Finally, his ninth arrow managed to kill him, but of course, it was merely the enemy’s avatar.”
Numinous Treasure was somewhat shocked. “I’m aware of the nine arrows Hou Yi can shoot when he ignites his Essence Soul. But wouldn’t he fall into a slumber after casting it?”
Hou Yi’s strength was not doubted by anyone in the Three Realms.
At the same realm… it was a complete trouncing.
However, against the Dao Ancestors and the rest, Hou Yi’s protective means were too weak; and it was a fatal flaw.
Hou Yi could consecutively deliver his arrows to kill the expert in the spatial tide all thanks to Qin Yun’s all-encompassing, along with Kong Xuan and Goumang’s help from the side.
“We obtained a rare treasure that can restore our Essence Soul in the spatial tide, which prevented Hou Yi from falling into a slumber.” Qin Yun waved his hand as a corpse appeared in the hall. “This is that Bohan Island Lord’s corpse. Master, look at the armor he wears.”
“Oh?” Numinous Treasure looked in curiosity.
An other-universe expert who had similarly reached the Heavenly Dao realm had to have brilliant mystic arts even if his Essence Soul Dharmic powers had yet to break through.
Numinous Treasure could tell at a glance.
The interior of the body was rather ordinary, comparable to typical perfected Great Dao existences. The only unique thing was the armor on his body.
“His armor is actually formed from a unique cultivation Dharmic formulation.” Numinous Treasure could tell instantly as he said in surprise, “With the Dharmic powers of a Golden Immortal, he cultivated an armor that can withstand the all-out Hou Yi’s first eighth arrows? If he had broken through his Dharmic powers, this armor would probably have become even tougher.”
“This armor is indeed extraordinary,” said Qin Yun. “Hou Yi, Kong Xuan, Goumang and I were also studying it on the way back, but we failed to understand it.”
“It’s obvious the lot of you can’t understand it. This armor contains mystic charms that have reached the Heavenly Dao realm. Yes, this method is indeed different from anything in our Three Realms.” Numinous Treasure was quite surprised from studying the body. “A very unique defensive technique. I can get Primordial Beginning and Elderly Lord come to take a look as well. If we can figure out some Dharmic formulations, it will add one more lineage to our Three Realms.”
Qin Yun also understood.
To fully “restore” a Heavenly Dao realm exterior armor Dharmic formulation with just a mere corpse was highly unlikely. But it was ultimately a Heavenly Dao realm mystic technique. He believed that it would aid the Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor.
His master and the rest had to leave the Three Realms in the future; therefore, every bit of help counted.
“Then, I shall take my leave,” said Qin Yun.
“Thank you for this. When you are back, prepare for your impending tribulation in peace. After all, there’s only a couple hundred years left,” said Numinous Treasure.
“Yes,” said Qin Yun politely.
…
Qin Yun returned to Mt. Lightning Roar again.
The night had passed and the sun rose, scattering its sunlight through the windows onto a desk.
Qin Yun was sitting in front of his desk, reading the sword technique manuals he had previously written as he thought, “I only have one of the most precious Spirit Enlightening Fruits I obtained in the spatial tide. I have to use it when it’s most appropriate. I’m in no hurry to enter seclusion. I should first spend some time tidying up and curating the Sword Dao I’ve cultivated to date and write a complete Misty Rain Sword Dao manual. Even if I were to die in the future, this sword manual can be passed down.
“Furthermore, by tidying up everything and writing a complete Misty Rain Sword Dao manual, I will be able to use the Spirit Enlightening Fruit to enter a state of epiphany, making the effects even better.
“I still have eight hundred years left.
“There’s enough time.”
After determining a plan, Qin Yun calmed his heart and scrutinized his Sword Dao as he began writing a complete Misty Rain Sword Dao manual with full focus.
