Deification cultivators!
Qin Xi looked at the two men in front of him. He was more shocked than vigilant.
Although he had heard from his master that Soul Formation Stage cultivators did exist in this world, these old monsters had long gone into seclusion. No one had seen them for nearly a thousand years. He didn't expect to see two of them at once!
Zhong Muling looked up at him and narrowed his eyes. "Brat, I was in a good mood a few days ago and let you go. Why are you rushing into the formation today?"
Qin Xi quickly regained his composure and saluted him calmly. "Senior, please forgive me. Junior came to look for someone. I didn't intend to rush into the formation."
"Looking for someone?" Yuan Bao looked at his clothes and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Qin Xi answered respectfully, "Junior is a disciple of Xuanqing School. I came to look for a fellow disciple and boldly entered the formation. Please forgive me, Senior."
Yuan Bao and Zhong Muling looked at each other. They both understood what was going on.
Zhong Muling had a good impression of this person who was willing to take the risk to rush into the formation for his descendant with a respectful attitude without the slightest hint of flattery. He said kindly, "There's someone, but I don't know if she's the one you're looking for. Tell me your name."
Upon hearing what they said, Qin Xi knew Mo Tiange was most likely here. Since these two Deification Seniors were very friendly, he said bluntly, "The person Junior is looking for is called Mo Tiange. I wonder if she's the person Senior mentioned?"
Zhong Muling raised the corner of his mouth and stared at him meaningfully. "What's your relationship? You're willing to take such a big risk to save her?"
Qin Xi said, "Junior is her senior in the school, so I naturally tried my best to save her."
"Oh?"
Zhong Muling cast him a glance then waved his hand. A golden sword flew from the sky and fell into his hand. "Three Yang Real Fire Sword … Someone actually refined it."
Qin Xi was stunned. "Senior knows this sword?"
Zhong Muling let out a soft "hmph." With a wave of his hand, he threw the Three Yang Real Fire Sword to Mo Tiange. "I've seen it in an ancient cultivator's handwritten notes. You're actually quite lucky to actually obtain this kind of ancient magic weapon."
On the side, Yuan Bao laughed and said, "Aling, compared to the Yang Spiritual Bead in his body, this Three Yang Real Fire Sword is nothing.
Tsk tsk, a Yang Spiritual Bead! I really don't know what kind of luck this brat has to actually obtain such a rare treasure. If I had a Yang Spiritual Bead, how could I have been stuck at the threshold of the Deification realm for so long back then?! "As he spoke, he kept glancing at Qin Xi.
Qin Xi felt goosebumps all over his body from the malicious gaze, but he also knew that in front of a Deification cultivator, he was nothing more than an ant. With his current strength, he simply couldn't resist what the other party wanted to do, so he quickly calmed down.
"Senior has good eyesight. I do have a Yang Spiritual Bead on me. I obtained it by chance in the past. After so many years, I've finally managed to fuse it for my own use."
His calmness somewhat surprised Yuan Bao. He turned around and said to Zhong Muling with a smile, "Aling, his willpower is comparable to yours."
Zhong Muling said faintly, "Don't think everyone is like you."
Although the tone was light, there was a hint of disdain in it. How could Ingot not hear it? He immediately shouted, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing."
Zhong Muling didn't even move his eyebrows. Without waiting for Yuan Bao to refute, he turned towards Qin Xi and said, "Junior, for the sake of the Three Yang Real Fire Sword, if you walk out of this formation, I'll let you see the person you want to see."
Right after he finished speaking, before Qin Xi could answer, Zhong Muling waved his hand and disappeared along with Yuan Bao.
Qin Xi stared at the glaciers that filled the sky and frowned. Just as he was about to sigh, he suddenly clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood —
* * *
She pushed the door open and saw the person sitting cross-legged on the ground. She was startled and said, "Senior Martial Brother Qin!"
She didn't know that Zhong Muling, who was paying attention to the movements in the small room, was frowning slightly. After being startled for a moment, she immediately rushed over.
From Zhong Muling's tone, she originally thought the person who came was Martial Uncle Shoujing. She thought she could finally see Martial Uncle Shoujing, whom she'd only heard of but never met. Unexpectedly, it was actually Senior Martial Brother Qin!
Seeing Qin Xi made her feel both relieved and uneasy. She felt relieved because he was right in front of her, so his life wasn't in danger. However, she felt uneasy because his face was pale and his hands and feet were ice-cold. It seemed like he couldn't hear her voice at all. His eyes were closed and he was motionless. It seemed like he was seriously injured.
Mo Tiange approached him and touched his hand. Upon discovering that it was as cold as ice, she immediately called out, "Great Ancestor, what's wrong with Senior Martial Brother Qin?"
After a moment of silence, Zhong Muling's voice rang out. "This brat's vitality was injured in the Illusory Sky Formation.
You don't need to worry. Both his metal and fire spiritual roots are Yang, and he also has a Yang Spiritual Bead in his body. Ice and snow can't hurt him. His meridians are just temporarily frozen. He'll wake up after a while. "
"Oh …" Mo Tiange heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Zhong Muling's explanation.
Seeing that Qin Xi didn't move, she thought for a moment then sat down next to him.
Right now, even Qin Xi's eyebrows were covered in a layer of frost. Mo Tiange guessed this was probably the effect of an Ice and Snow Bewildering Formation similar to the desert bewildering formation she encountered before. However, why was Senior Martial Brother Qin here?
"Great Ancestor!" she called out again.
"En," Zhong Muling answered.
"Can you help Senior Martial Brother Qin?"
Zhong Muling paused for a while then said impatiently, "It's not that troublesome!
He just needs to adjust his breathing for a while and he'll be fine! "
"But …"
"Shut up! It's noisy!
Just squat down for me. "
"Oh …" Zhong Muling was obviously unhappy, so Mo Tiange didn't dare to say anything else. She just stood on the side and watched Qin Xi in silence.
In the past few days, she obtained too many fated chances, so she temporarily forgot about the outside world. Now that she saw Qin Xi, she couldn't help but recall what happened before she came here.
How did Fengxue and Senior Martial Sister Wei go?
Did they persuade Senior Martial Sister Wei?
What if they didn't?
Are they safe?
Qin Xi let his imagination run wild. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly moved.
Mo Tiange hastily jumped up. "Senior Martial Brother Qin!"
Qin Xi moved his eyelids and slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was a joyful face smiling at him. "Senior Martial Brother Qin, you've finally woken up."
Qin Xi closed his eyes again. When his breathing gradually calmed down, he opened his eyes and smiled. "Tiange, are you all right?"
Seeing that the first thing he asked after waking up was her, Mo Tiange's heart skipped a beat. She smiled and said, "I'm fine. How about you, Senior Martial Brother Qin?"
"I'm also fine. It's just a small injury. I'll go back and slowly recuperate."
After looking around, Qin Xi stood up with some difficulty. "This place is …" With such dense spiritual aura, what kind of paradise was this?
His own Immortal's Cave was located in the place with the densest spiritual aura on Clear Spring Peak. It also had a high-grade Spirit-Gathering Formation, but it was still much worse than this place.
"This is the Virtual Sky World."
"Virtual Sky World?" Qin Xi frowned slightly, wondering where he heard this name.
Mo Tiange immediately said, "Senior Martial Brother Qin, don't think too much. This is Senior Yuan Bao and my great ancestor's cave. Nothing will happen."
"Great ancestor?"
"Yes." Mo Tiange nodded and said, "I was also shocked when I first found out. My great ancestor's surname is Zhong, and his name is Mu Ling. He's also the master of this place."
"…" Could the master of this place be those two Deification seniors?
As he thought of this, Qin Xi's eyes were filled with surprise and confusion.
Great ancestor was his grandfather's grandfather. However, cultivators had a long lifespan, and they didn't know how many generations their children and grandchildren had. Great ancestor could also refer to an ancestor whose seniority couldn't be called, but there was one thing that was correct — these two people were related by blood.
Could it be that one of those two Deification seniors was related by blood to her?
As soon as this thought appeared, Qin Xi didn't know why, but he suddenly felt upset.
Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard Mo Tiange say, "I'll tell you about this in detail when we go back.
Senior Martial Brother Qin, are you really okay? "
Qin Xi smiled and said, "I'm fine. Don't worry. I'll be fine after a few days of rest.
What about you? Are you injured? "
Mo Tiange smiled and said, "Not only am I not injured, but I also obtained a lot of benefits."
"En?"
Mo Tiange released her aura and looked at him with a smile. "Senior Martial Brother Qin, look at me. What's different about me?"
Qin Xi sensed for a moment and was shocked. "You advanced to the middle stage?"
"En." Mo Tiange nodded happily.
She didn't plan to tell him about the Five-Spirit Fruit, but she obtained the Art of the Origin and advanced to the middle stage. As long as she returned to Xuanqing School, she definitely wouldn't be able to hide it, so she might as well tell him directly.
She entered the middle stage of the Foundation Building realm less than a year ago … Although he had encountered a lot of fated chances, he was still quite surprised. However, when he thought of those two Deification cultivators, he felt it was only natural. Qin Xi smiled and said, "Congratulations, congratulations. You're already in the middle stage of the Foundation Building realm at such a young age. You can be considered the first person in Xuanqing School. En, if you work hard, you should have a good chance of forming your Gold Core within a hundred years."
"Although I'm not sure I can build my Foundation Building realm, I'll still accept your auspicious words."
After a pause, Mo Tiange remembered something. "Right, Senior Martial Brother Qin, did you … come to see me?"
"En." Qin Xi nodded. "I heard you went missing here, so I came to see you."
"Really?
Senior Martial Brother Qin, didn't you go missing with Martial Uncle Shoujing?
What about Martial Uncle Shoujing? "
Qin Xi paused for a moment then said, "We're all fine, but you …
You said this place is your great ancestor's Immortal's Cave. Is it one of those two seniors? "
Mo Tiange nodded then said apologetically, "Senior Martial Brother Qin, I'm really sorry. If I found out earlier, you wouldn't have been injured …"
"It's nothing." Qin Xi shook his head faintly. "I'm not injured, so you don't have to be like this.
Right, what's your situation now?
Since your great ancestor is a Deification senior, should … should he stay here? "
Mo Tiange shook her head and said, "Of course not … Right, Senior Martial Brother Qin, you just woke up. Do you want to rest for a while?
In any case, we still have time to talk. I'll go with you in a few days, and then I'll slowly talk to you. "
Upon hearing this, Qin Xi smiled. His heart instantly calmed down and he said, "That's fine. This place is full of spiritual aura, so we mustn't waste it. We'll slowly talk when we get back."
"En, you can continue healing. I won't disturb you anymore."
After watching Mo Tiange leave the room, Qin Xi sat down on the praying mat.
Before he could heave a sigh of relief, a strong gust of wind suddenly hit him. He didn't have time to react at all, so the wind directly blew against his body.
The spiritual aura inside his body suddenly surged uncontrollably, causing him to vomit another mouthful of blood.
Zhong Muling's voice rang out inside the room. "Why did you hide her identity?!
If you don't explain, don't blame me for taking your life! "
