Liubo Island, the place in the Celestial Dragon Sea Region where all the action had been converging in recent days.

The Ancient King, a figure whose fame shook the Celestial Dragon Sea Region, had sent out invitations far and wide. Whether it was a Martial Arts Strong Person, a famous pirate, or a Dynasty Master, anyone could receive his invitation. For this Martial Arts King, the grander the spectacle, the better.

The moment Qin Ya and the others stepped onto Liubo Island, they smelled a peculiar aroma wafting from the distance. The scent was incredibly complex. It smelled like the roasted meat of some rare Exotic Beast, then like the fragrance of high-grade Spiritual Medicine. A moment later, it would change again, resembling the rich, enduring bouquet of a top-quality vintage wine...

The aroma assailed their nostrils, surging into their bodies through their acupoints and making them feel comfortable all over. Some Martial Artists with weaker Cultivation even showed expressions of blissful ecstasy, falling under the illusion that just a few more breaths would cause their Cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.

"Haha, looks like we’re in for a real treat."

The Blood Saber Youth laughed heartily and said to the pirates behind him, "Alright, boys! Make sure you eat your fill later. Replenish your strength!"

"Got it, Boss!"

"Heh, I’ve been starving myself for days for this feast."

"We definitely came to the right place. There’s so much good stuff."

A green light suddenly flared in the pirates’ eyes as wide grins stretched across their faces. They were like starving wolves that hadn’t tasted meat in years, suddenly finding a whole roasted pig set before them, free for the taking. Their excitement was beyond words.

Luo Bi glanced at the Blood Saber Youth and his men, a flash of disdain in his eyes. ’Pirates will be pirates,’ he thought. ’A bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world. To get this excited over a mere meal... it’s the height of ignorance.’

Elder Purple Robe smiled faintly. "The Ancient King’s generosity and hospitality are indeed famous. We are still some distance from the feast, yet the aroma has already traveled this far. One can only imagine how magnificent this banquet must be."

"So rich and ostentatious. Looks like my million catties of Primordial Stones are within reach."

Qin Ya smiled faintly, but his words made Li Shuo and Li Fei grind their teeth in hatred behind him. If not for the Poison Pills Qin Ya had forced them to take, they would have long since rushed to the Ancient King’s side, begging him to deliver justice and slaughter Qin Ya for them.

"Er... In that case, I wish Little Brother Qin success in getting what you want."

Elder Purple Robe was rendered rather speechless. Demanding a million catties of Primordial Stones from a Martial Arts King, and in such a manner... It was simply insane.

"Heh, Brother Qin, good luck to you!"

The Blood Saber Youth laughed, then led his pirates toward the center of Liubo Island, apparently unable to wait any longer to taste the feast’s delicacies.

Qin Ya glanced at the group of Dancing Girls behind him, then spoke to Li Shuo in a detached tone, "The Ancient King is entertaining guests from all over. These Dancing Girls are here to add to the festivities. You will take them to get ready. And remember, be polite to them."

"You’re actually ordering me to escort a bunch of Dancing Girls?" Li Shuo’s face turned livid. He pointed a finger at Qin Ya, so angry his handlebar mustache was trembling.

"Is there a problem?" Qin Ya said indifferently.

Li Shuo’s expression shifted, and feeling the abnormality inside his body, he finally let out a heavy sigh. Utterly defeated, he said, "No... problem."

Elder Purple Robe and the Blond Giant from the Lion Palace looked at Li Shuo with a bit more pity in their eyes. ’To think a dignified Extraordinary Martial Artist would be reduced to this.’

Qingxu slowly walked up to Qin Ya and bowed respectfully. Her voice was filled with deep gratitude as she said, "On behalf of my sisters, Qingxu thanks you for your immense kindness, Young Master. This is a debt we can never repay. We can only wish that your path ahead is smooth..."

They were just a group of Dancing Girls with low Cultivation. To someone like Qin Ya, they were merely a fleeting sight in his life, with no value that would make him stay. And since they could not repay Qin Ya, all they could do was pray for him in their hearts.

"It’s nothing. Farewell."

"May you take care, Young Master."

After speaking, Qingxu led the Dancing Girls away with Li Shuo. Qin Ya wasn’t worried that Li Shuo would try any tricks. To an Extraordinary Martial Artist like him, the Dancing Girls had no value worth targeting. Besides, with Qin Ya’s Poison Pill inside him, he wouldn’t dare make any rash moves before the poison was cured.

Bringing Li Fei along, Qin Ya, Elder Purple Robe, and the members of the Lion Palace slowly made their way toward the center of Liubo Island. Liubo Island was vast and scenic, filled with all sorts of exotic flowers and rare plants vying for beauty. As the group walked at a leisurely pace, they didn’t find the journey boring at all. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

As Qin Ya walked, he experimented with his Divine Thought Power.

Divine Thought was a peculiar spiritual power that a Martial Artist unlocked from the Divine Acupoint between their eyebrows after breaking through the Celestial Gate. Qin Ya could feel that within the Divine Acupoint between his eyebrows was a seemingly empty Space, and within this Space, wisps of gray gas swirled.

This gray gas was Divine Thought.

Qin Ya tried to control his Divine Thought, slowly releasing it from his body. In that instant, the entire world before his eyes suddenly changed. The change was peculiar, as if he had gained an invisible eye that could see through all things.

He could feel the trajectory of the wind and the faint moisture it carried, realizing there was a huge swamp up ahead. Under the perception of his Divine Thought, Qin Ya could sense the slight tremble of the grass, the stirring of earthworms beneath the soil, the diligent labor of ants, the very moment a dewdrop fell from a tree...

Under his Divine Thought, it seemed nothing could hide.

This feeling of controlling everything was truly intoxicating.

Through continuous experimentation, Qin Ya discovered that the range of his Divine Thought could extend from thirty to one hundred meters. Within this range, his perception was incredibly clear, but once it went beyond that, his senses would become blurry.

"How is it? Little Brother Qin, what is the range of your Divine Thought’s perception?"

Elder Purple Robe walked up to Qin Ya and asked with a smile.

"Thirty meters, one hundred at most," Qin Ya said indifferently.

"Thirty meters... one hundred meters." A flicker of surprise passed through Elder Purple Robe’s eyes. He remarked with emotion, "Little Brother Qin, you truly have an extraordinary Talent."

"An ordinary Martial Artist who has just broken through to the Extraordinary realm only has a Divine Thought range of ten meters, extending to forty at most. But yours, Little Brother Qin, is several times that. Furthermore, if I’m not mistaken, the amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi you can currently draw upon is at least around five thousand zhang. That’s comparable to a Sky-Controlling High Rank Martial Artist!"

"Heh, I haven’t yet tested the maximum amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi I can draw."

"When you went through the Heaven-Reaching Pass, Little Brother Qin, you were able to draw a five-hundred-zhang Primordial Qi Vortex. Generally, the amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi one can then draw is at least ten times that range," the Blond Giant from the Lion Palace chimed in, walking over with a hearty laugh. "To have such Talent is truly enviable." Qin Ya simply responded with a smile.

Afterward, the two men went on to explain some of the key points of the Extraordinary realm and the wondrous uses of Divine Thought to Qin Ya. Although Qin Ya already had some knowledge of these things, he was happy to humbly listen to a personal explanation from two Extraordinary Martial Artists. He listened with rapt attention, which made Luo Bi and the others behind them so jealous their eyes turned red, wishing they could be the one in Qin Ya’s place.

’Damn it! How infuriating!’

’We’re clearly from the same generation, so how did the gap between us become so vast?’
