Just as the Elder Pavilion was in a state of constant conflict, and everyone was feeling anxious because of Guang Mo's appearance, a shocking scene appeared in the Qin Sect's Grand Hall.
...
The Sect Leader's Hall.
Once Shi Lan, Su Ming, and the others left, the place was surrounded by golden streams of light formed by Chaotic Heaven. These streams of light merged together in the air and turned into ancient ripples.
At the center of the hall, the streams of light were like frightening aquatic dragons from the depths of the sea. They tumbled about in the hall, roaring and looking ferocious. They spread out layers of fog that enveloped the roof.
As the golden light intersected with each other, in the span of a few dozen breaths, four strange runic symbols jumped up like fish leaping over the dragon's gate. They looked incredibly majestic.
The four runic symbols echoed in the air like Sanskrit, creating golden ripples that spread outwards.
Everything that was enveloped by the golden light looked brand new, as if they had been baptized by holiness.
These four runic symbols represented four different runes.
Divine Heaven Sacred Scripture!
The four runic symbols pulled each other and formed a strange thread at the center. The thread was thin but incredibly sturdy, as if it could sever the connection between heaven and earth.
A boy lay quietly in the center of the four runic symbols. The boy's face was young and his body was covered in hundreds of bloody wounds. His face was pale and he looked very haggard.
His breathing was a little rapid. Every time he breathed, golden light would enter his body.
...
"Where is this..?"
In an unknown area, Qin Shi opened his eyes.
The scene before him was familiar yet blurry. There were countless rays of piercing golden light around him. It was like the scorching sun in summer. He could only squint his eyes.
"This … This is my mind?"
He narrowed his eyes and looked around. Qin Shi realized that he was in his mind in the form of a divine thought. The golden light in his mind came from the Ancient Dark Heaven Rune in the center.
The Ancient Dark Heaven Rune spun continuously, surrounded by Sanskrit.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Every single time the Ancient Dark Heaven Rune spun, thousands of rays of golden light would shoot out like swords. The swords did not give Qin Shi time to react. They quickly pierced through his divine thought and his chest, riddling him with holes!
"Argh!
It hurts! "
Pierced by the golden light, a bone-deep pain came from the bottom of his heart. He felt a slight chill in his heart, which made him puzzled.
"Why am I here?
Am I not reviving Shi Lan?
Why did it suddenly appear in my sea of consciousness? "
Qin Shi could not help but let out a low moan as he endured the immense pain. Soon after, he sank into deep thought.
However, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. His consciousness had already been completely taken over by the Ancient Profound Heaven Formation.
Qin Shi struggled for a while. He felt an extreme pain all over his body, but every time the golden light pierced through his body, he could clearly feel that the mental energy in his body was increasing by several times, becoming abnormally abundant.
"This Ancient Profound Heaven Formation is tempering my psychic power?"
A bold idea caused Qin Shi's eyes to open and close. Soon after, he suddenly gave up struggling and allowed Bright Cosmos to pierce through his chest. The golden light from the ten thousand arrows engulfed Qin Shi.
As he was devoured, his Sea of Consciousness continued to expand. The original radius of 300 meters expanded little by little to 350 meters, 400 meters, 450 meters, and finally 500 meters before stopping.
Buzz buzz buzz!
At this time, his Sea of Consciousness trembled continuously. The 500-meter radius seemed to be restricted by something. It stopped moving at that position.
The Ancient Profound Heaven Formation spun faster and faster. Lines of Xuantian Holy Scripture carved on it were continuously reflected in Qin Shi's mind.
"Oh?
Good things come in pairs?
Is the Xuantian Holy Scripture about to break through again? "
Qin Shi could feel the strangeness of the Ancient Profound Heaven Formation. He could not help but be overjoyed. Previously, the Xuantian Holy Scripture had broken through to the second level, allowing him to directly become a two-trace Talisman Master. If he broke through again this time, he would soon become a three-trace Talisman Master.
Realizing this, he no longer hesitated. He completely opened his arms and allowed the torrential golden light to pierce through his body. Every time it pierced through his body, he felt like he had died once. After dying again and again, his Sea of Consciousness began to fill up.
His Sea of Consciousness was full, causing him to frown.
"This won't do. The golden light here can no longer satisfy the breakthrough of the Xuantian Holy Scripture …" Qin Shi pursed his lips. This kind of mental strength breakthrough required opportunities and opportunities. If he missed this opportunity, he did not know how long it would take for the next one.
When he realized this, he shifted his gaze and looked towards the center of the Ancient Profound Heaven Formation.
There was a wild golden light surrounding the ancient formation. There were tens of thousands of golden lights. He didn't dare to imagine if he could stop being devoured by the golden light if he were to enter it. That would definitely be inhuman treatment.
"For the sake of breaking through, I have to give it my all!"
Qin Shi took a deep breath and bit his lower lip. He finally decided to give it a try. Then, he took a step forward and entered the center of the Ancient Profound Heaven Formation.
In the center of the ancient formation, there was a high platform. This high platform was the eye of the Ancient Profound Heaven Formation. Thousands of light balls gathered on the high platform, causing it to flicker continuously.
Staring at the high platform, Qin Shi hesitated for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and stepped onto it.
Boom!
As he stood on the high platform, thousands of light balls rained down like torrential rain. An unprecedented pain made him raise his head and roar angrily. His Divine Will instantly dissipated.
That kind of pain felt as if his body was being torn apart and his soul was being crushed.
The piercing pain made him sweat profusely.
However, for the sake of breaking through, he gritted his teeth and stubbornly endured the pain.
Buzz buzz buzz!
However, under the destruction of the Ancient Profound Heaven Formation's golden light, his Sea of Consciousness trembled even more violently.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud sound. His Sea of Consciousness finally struggled to open at the 500-meter mark. Then, like a dam collapsing, his wild mental strength instantly surged in all directions.
Six hundred meters.
Seven hundred meters.
Eight hundred meters.
Nine hundred meters.
One kilometer.
After a kilometer, his Sea of Consciousness finally stopped.
In an instant, Qin Shi felt his mental strength multiply. His five senses reached an unprecedented height. This kind of height was unimaginable. It was as if he could see through people's hearts.
After his Sea of Consciousness expanded, the thousands of light balls also stopped falling.
"I broke through?"
Qin Shi gathered his Divine Will once again. After experiencing the pain of death, he looked at his Sea of Consciousness, which had expanded to one kilometer. He couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. One kilometer. This was a range of one kilometer.
What did this mean?
In other words, this breakthrough had increased his mental strength by more than three times?
Swish!
An arrogant mental strength surged out. Qin Shi single-handedly controlled it to change into thousands of shapes. Sometimes it was a sturdy cage, sometimes it was a soaring dragon, and sometimes it was a Nirvana Phoenix.
Ancient Phoenix.
His control of mental strength had reached a level of perfection. It felt like he could move it freely with his hands.
Finally, he used his Telekinesis to control it. The mental strength actually turned into a thin blue-haired girl. The girl sat on a huge rock with her legs hanging down. She twisted her beautiful body and smiled at Qin Shi.
"Xue Xin … wait for me!"
Looking at that familiar face, Qin Shi smiled contentedly.
Then, he waved his sleeves and the mental strength that the girl had dispersed returned to his palm. Then, he looked down at his messy body and laughed bitterly. "Hehe, what a sorry state. But no matter what, it was worth it this time."
Although he had suffered a great deal, the return was also quite generous. Of course, after this, Qin Shi once again cursed the creator of the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation and the Xuantian Holy Scripture.
However, only those who had suffered the most hardship could become an outstanding person.
If you wanted to become outstanding, you had to suffer. This was an unchanging law since ancient times.
Qin Shi understood this, so he only cursed and complained. He didn't really hate the creator. Instead, he was very grateful to the creator of the Xuantian Holy Scripture. At the very least, he was not arrogant and complacent.
Thinking of this, the corner of Qin Shi's lips curled up slightly, causing him to think of a sentence. He shook his head, "Hehe, I'm just feeling emotional once in a while. Who can laugh after ten years of suffering?"
He was the only one who knew how much he had sacrificed to get to where he was today.
There was only one thing he didn't understand. Why had he suddenly appeared in his sea of knowledge? Why had the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation become so restless? Logically speaking, the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation had been silent for a long time without any abnormalities.
"Could it be … the Great Bloodbath Formation?"
Thinking back, back in the Needle Pine Forest, his mental strength had rapidly increased because he had come out of the Great Bloodbath Formation and refined the resurrected blood dragon.
This time, it had rapidly increased again. Could there be some special connection between the Great Bloodbath Formation and the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation?
Qin Shi frowned uncertainly. In the end, he laughed bitterly to himself. "It seems that this Great Bloodbath Formation is more complicated than I thought …"
Boom!
At this moment, there was a loud noise. When his sea of knowledge had expanded to a kilometer, it violently trembled. Then, the pure and holy Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation suddenly exploded with a golden light. The light was abnormally dazzling, forming a net that enveloped his sea of knowledge.
As his sea of knowledge was enveloped, the ancient formation spun rapidly. The center of the formation burst open, and a golden halo rose up.
This halo was very slow as it floated towards Qin Shi bit by bit.
Qin Shi couldn't help but be startled. He stretched out one hand towards the halo. "What is this?"
He grabbed the halo, and it danced happily. It actually flowed through Qin Shi's skin and into Qin Shi's body. It swam around Qin Shi's body and surged towards Qin Shi's Yongquan acupoint like a spirit snake.
Qin Shi's body suddenly trembled. His black eyes couldn't help but lose focus. Strange Sanskrit words appeared in his mind. In the end, the Sanskrit words formed four words: Great Relic Mantra.
"Great Relic Mantra?"
Qin Shi couldn't help but be startled. Then, he saw the ancient formation spin and condense into a golden core.
A golden core the size of a fist floated in his sea of knowledge. However, this golden core was filled with wild power. This power was so great that it caused his sea of knowledge to tremble.
"This is … is this the third level of the Xuantian Holy Scripture?"
Staring at the golden core in shock, Qin Shi licked his chapped lips. Then, he revealed an unprecedented joy. "The third level of the Xuantian Holy Scripture: Great Relic Mantra?"
