Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 365 - 214: Visitors from Cangjian Pavilion, the Poker-Faced, Impoverished Sword-Carrying Girl
Yin Yang Mountain.
This is a peculiar mountain range. On the sunny side, it’s as hot as a volcano, with exposed rocks mostly showing red and orange hues, hot to the touch, emitting a sulfurous smell. The vegetation is sparse, and all of it with Flame Sun Attributes, like Red Refining Spirit Maple and Golden Flame Spirit Pine.
On the shady side, however, it’s dark and cold. The soil is gray, and the rocks are either pitch-black like the nether or ashen white like bones. Compared to the Yang side, there are more Spirit Plants on this side, though they are all of the Yin Attribute such as Mysterious Orchid and Yin Earth Fern.
This mountain range stretches over a vast area and hosts numerous Spirit Peaks. These Spirit Peaks are adorned with pavilions, palaces, Cave Mansions, and Spirit Fields.
Above the mountains, the void seems somewhat distorted, as if the energies of Yin and Yang are clashing and intertwining.
At this moment, on a certain part of the Yin Mountain, in a deep, sunless black valley, there’s a chilling Yin aura. Deep within the valley lies a black pool, still as a mirror, without a ripple. Aside from its black color, the pool water seems no different from ordinary water, and there’s no ice on its surface.
However, wisps of white mist rise from it, and when the upper air encounters this mist, there’s a cracking sound, forming pieces of frost that suspend in the void.
At this moment, if someone with a powerful Divine Sense were to scan deep into the black pool, they would see a black-robed youth sitting cross-legged with eyes closed.
His face is bloodless, resembling white bones, and from him emanates a Spiritual Pressure of Extreme Yin Attribute at the Early Stage Core Formation, very similar to the surrounding black pool water.
Suddenly, his eyelids twitch, and then he slowly opens them. A flash of pale light flickers in his pupils.
Then he raises his left hand, and silently, a pale flame rises, flickering gently in the pool water, undying.
Moreover, the flame does not emit a scorching heat but rather a force of Extreme Cold, causing the surrounding black pool water to freeze and spread outward.
"My Yin Fire has grown again, its power even greater than before."
The black-robed youth looked at the pale flame burning on his left palm, his lips curling into a confident smile.
"In this Tri-sect competition, I will surely defeat those two, Qing Jianzi and Wang Tong..."
...
About a month passed by.
Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.
Through Qi Chuan’s diligent cultivation in isolation, his Magical Cultivation and Flying Sword Quality both saw a certain degree of improvement.
However, the most significant progress was in Qi Chuan’s recent focus on his Divine Soul.
In the Cave Mansion.
Qi Chuan sat cross-legged on the bed with tightly furrowed brows, a look of pain on his face, as if enduring something.
A moment later, Qi Chuan’s eyelids moved, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Then he saw a line of text appearing before him.
[You have cultivated the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method, your Divine Soul transformed into a willow form, refined by Illusory Heavenly Dao Thunder, triggering a ninety-times critical strike, gaining ninety times the reward. Your Divine Soul has been greatly enhanced.]
As the text appeared, a cool sensation spread in Qi Chuan’s mind, and a large amount of Power of Divine Soul surged forth.
Qi Chuan felt that his Divine Soul Level had improved significantly once again.
However, the true breakthrough to the Core Formation Middle Stage Divine Soul Level was still just a short step away.
It was almost at the utmost limit of the Core Formation Early Stage Divine Soul.
"What a pity."
Qi Chuan felt a slight sense of regret in his heart.
If only he could have reached the Core Formation Middle Stage level before the Tri-sect competition, it would undoubtedly bring him great assistance, easily defeating the Core Formation Early Stage candidates from Cangjian Pavilion and Yin Yang Mansion.
Unfortunately, there was no breakthrough.
However, it was almost enough.
With a Divine Soul strength at the extreme limit of the Core Formation Early Stage, nearly crossing into the Middle Stage, along with the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method and the Ninefold Soul Torture Technique, the power he could unleash would be extremely formidable.
When facing the Core Formation Early Stage candidates of Cangjian Pavilion and Yin Yang Mansion, he would certainly hold a substantial advantage.
Moreover, he also had his Flying Sword and Sword Dao.
The combination of these powerful techniques gives him a not-low probability of winning the Tri-sect competition.
On the morning of the next day.
Qi Chuan exited the Cave Mansion and rode an Escape Light towards the Myriad Flowers Hall. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
When Qi Chuan landed on the Palace Square, he found two people already there, Zhao Ming and Qu Xuanlei.
Qi Chuan naturally cupped his fists toward them, addressing them as Sect Leader and Senior Brother.
But Hu Tianying had not yet arrived.
However, no sooner than a quarter of an hour later, Hu Tianying also hurriedly arrived, riding an Escape Light.
When Hu Tianyuan landed on the square and saluted Zhao Ming, Zhao Ming nodded and solemnly spoke to Qi Chuan and the others, "The three of you, the Tri-sect competition not only concerns the critical resource, Celestial Heart Flame Marrow, and the outcome with Cangjian Pavilion and Yin Yang Mansion, but it also pertains to the honor of our Immortal Sect. It’s all up to the three of you this time."
"My stance is to strive for the top. Even if we can’t achieve first place, we must at least avoid being at the bottom. Otherwise, the honor of the Immortal Sect will be at risk."
Zhao Ming’s words were quite stern.
Qu Xuanlei responded with a serious expression, "Please rest assured, Sect Leader, we will give our all. It’s impossible for the Immortal Sect to end up at the bottom."
