Qin Shi had always been like this. Seeing that he was about to leave the Red Flame Realm, he was really unwilling. Therefore, he gritted his teeth, got up, and approached the Mysterious Crystal again.
This time, he didn't walk in the waterfall. Instead, he walked in the sky. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the Mysterious Crystal.
He calmed himself down and looked very serious.
Of course, this kind of thing had to be done seriously. If it was someone else, after experiencing the impact of that frightening power, it was likely that they would never want to try it a second time in their lifetime. This was Qin Shi's stubborn character.
He gathered all of his spiritual energy and soul energy in his palm and used all of his skills, including the Phoenix Qilin, the Bone Layer, the Tempered God Dharma Body, and even the Sweet Pouring Raindrops Array, all of which were formed to protect his palm. Holding his breath, he reached out his hand.
"Break!"
After thinking for a while, his palm collided with the power.
Boom!
Bang, bang, bang!
All of a sudden, the huge Secret Area in the back of the mountain was shaking. The power was so strong that even the lake under the waterfall was shaken. A crack extended from the mouth of the spring to the depths of the earth, and finally formed a pitch-black rift valley.
There were continuous explosions. Sand and gravel shot out like cannonballs under the powerful impact. The places that were penetrated were all a few meters deep. Fortunately, there was no one around. If there was, they would have been seriously injured. If they were weak, they might have been killed by the gravel.
Crack!
Suddenly, a cracking sound rang in Qin Shi's ears. His eyes narrowed into slits, and a hint of joy flickered in his eyes. "Is it done?"
To be honest, he was unwilling before, but that was all. He knew very well that the strength of this barrier was set up by a Renhuang who could contend against the two Ferocious Demons in the past. It was a tripartite existence on this continent, and it was absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to break through this matrix.
Therefore, before Qin Shi started, he was prepared to fail. But he suddenly succeeded. He still couldn't believe it.
The influence of a top-grade Mysterious Crystal on him was limitless. How could he not be excited? His heart was beating faster.
"Hold on, we can do it!"
Qin Shi bit his lip until it bled. The taste of blood spread in his mouth. After such a long period of exertion, he had reached the limit of his body's functions. His arms were trembling non-stop. He was holding on with all his might.
Boom!
Rumble!
Three seconds later, it was as if a mountain had collapsed and the earth had cracked. Rolling sandstorms and dense fog enveloped the entire mountain range.
"What happened?"
Even Desolate Town was alarmed. Qin Yongfeng and the others stood up in shock and looked at the Secret Territory in the back of the mountain.
Yu Luocha's tender body trembled, and the worry in her almond-shaped eyes was self-evident. She stood up, and cried out involuntarily. Then, she dashed out of the hall. "Shi Tou!"
"Rock?"
Qin Yongfeng furrowed his brows and immediately asked Qin Tianqing, "Tianqing, what's going on?
Is Shi Tou in the Arcana Land? "
Qin Tianqing's face darkened, and he nodded vigorously. "Yes …!"
"What?"
Qin Yongfeng's wrinkled face changed. He glared at Qin Tianqing. "Tianyu, gather all the disciples of the Qin family in the Arcana Land. Let's go!"
Qin Yongfeng broke the door and clenched his fists anxiously.
"Kid, don't let anything happen to you. You're the hope of the Qin family."
On the other side, in the center of the Arcana Land.
Qin Shi stood on the mountain range under the waterfall. His face was covered in dust, but that wasn't important. The most attractive thing about him was the strange smile on his face. He looked silly, and his eyes were fixed in front of him.
In front of him, the supreme-grade spirit stone glowed with colorful light. Occasionally, the sun would flash. It was gorgeous and beautiful.
"Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. It's done."
He swallowed hard and took a step forward. His hand touched the supreme-grade Mystic Crystal.
"Buzz!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched the Mystic Crystal, his body stiffened. His eyes became misty as he was attracted by a strong force.
"What's going on?"
He quickly protected his heart and looked serious. Only then did he not get controlled by the Mystic Crystal. Then, he stared at the Mystic Crystal and remained silent for a long time.
"This is strange!" He snorted.
"Shi Tou, are you okay?"
Suddenly, a beautiful figure pounced over from behind and threw herself into Qin Shi's embrace. Qin Shi was stunned for a moment. When he turned around, he saw Yu Luocha. She was already crying her eyes out.
He knew that Yu Luocha must have alarmed the outside world. That was why she came looking for him in such a hurry. He couldn't help but feel warm. He patted Yu Luocha's shoulder and held her in his arms. "Don't worry, I'm okay. I promised to spend 300 years with you. Not even half of the 300 years have passed. How could something happen to me?"
"Okay." Yu Luocha snuggled into Qin Shi's arms.
"Kid, are you okay?
Are you hurt anywhere? "Qin Yongfeng asked. He was relieved to see that Qin Shi was okay.
Qin Shi shook his head with a smile. He said to Qin Yongfeng, "Grandpa, don't worry. I'm fine. I'm sorry to make you worry."
"You're fine, but I'm not!"
Qin Tianqing followed behind Qin Yongfeng. At first, he was very worried. However, when he saw that Qin Shi was fine, he immediately became unhappy. He snorted and said, "Because of you, I was scolded by your grandpa. Now I realize that my status in this family is getting lower and lower."
"With my mother here, you still want status?" Qin Shi said with a strange smile, taking pleasure in other people's misfortune.
"Bastard!"
Qin Tianqing glared at him. Then, he curled his lips and became more serious. He turned around and looked at the top-grade Mystic Crystal on the waterfall. He squinted and said, "How is it?
Did you break the formation of the Mystic Crystal? "
Qin Shi turned around and nodded without hiding anything. "Yes, I did break it, but … It doesn't seem to be of any use."
"Huh?" Qin Tianqing took a few steps forward. "Why?"
Qin Shi also shook his head helplessly, "I don't know either. I tried just now, but I couldn't withstand it at all. The Spiritual Energy in the Glazed Crystal seems to have been guided by something, all the way to the depths of the ground. Then, it split into three forces and extended in three different directions. Originally, I wanted to search for it, but once I went in, my mind was immediately controlled. However, I can feel that it is not a coincidence that this Glazed Crystal was placed here. There must be some secret here."
"Secret?"
Qin Yongfeng's brows furrowed as he fell into deep thought. It was just that everyone's attention was focused on Qin Shi, so they didn't notice it. Qin Shi, who was surrounded by the crowd, also didn't notice it.
"No matter what, it's good that you are fine." Qin Tianqing patted Qin Shi's shoulder.
Qin Shi nodded and turned around to look. Then, he put his arm around Yu Luocha's shoulder and left the secret land with the Qin family.
He hadn't left the Mystery Land for a month. It was time for him to leave. Although he didn't manage to absorb the Mysterious Crystal in the end, it wasn't that he didn't gain anything in the past month. On the contrary, he had gained a lot. His cultivation had stabilized at the upper level of the Seventh Heaven. He believed that he would be able to touch the Thunder Calamity Seal of the Eighth Heaven soon.
However, thinking about the Thunder Calamity Seal gave him a headache. He had already sealed three Tribulations in a row and he had used up all the Thunder Sealing Chains in his hand. If another Thunder Calamity was summoned, he would not be able to avoid it.
As for the four lightning tribulations, it was absolutely terrifying. He didn't even know if he could survive it.
"Phew, let's take one step at a time. There will be a solution." Since he could not think of a solution, he let out a long sigh and controlled himself to stop thinking.
On the way out of the arcane realm, Yu Luocha was in low spirits. As Qin Shi held her in his arms, he could tell that she was trying to control her emotions and not let them show. However, the deep disappointment was still very obvious.
"Why? Are you unhappy?" Qin Shi asked.
Yu Luocha suddenly bit her lips and her almond-shaped eyes turned red.
"What's wrong?" Qin Shi panicked. He squatted down and held her shoulders.
"Leave … leave the secret land. You are leaving … right?" Finally, Yu Luocha could not help but sob.
Qin Shi suddenly came back to his senses. He finally understood why Yu Luocha was so sad. Yes, a month had passed. When he broke the formation, he already had the thought of leaving.
He also understood that even though Yu Luocha had been accompanying him like a virtuous wife for the past month, and did not mention the pain of parting that was about to come, did that mean that she really did not want to think about it?
Obviously, that was impossible.
He hugged Yu Luocha in his arms.
"I'm sorry …!"
"No, don't say sorry!"
Yu Luocha stood up. Her eyes were still red but her expression was firm. She rubbed her almond-shaped eyes and smiled at Qin Shi. "I, I'm fine. I'm really fine. Just promise me that you will come back soon, okay … Don't, let me wait for too long."
"I will …!" Qin Shi replied guiltily.
"You don't have much confidence in your words …!"
"I …!"
Qin Shi was stunned. He clenched his fists and shouted, "I will, I will use my life …!"
"No!"
Without waiting for Qin Shi to finish speaking, Yu Luocha's jade finger immediately pressed against the corner of Qin Shi's lips and gently shook her head. "Don't say such inauspicious words. Your life … swear on our love. If you don't come back, even if something happens to you, then I will never forgive you in this lifetime because you didn't fulfill your promise to me … So, you must come back, you must come back quickly, okay …!"
Qin Shi's heart trembled. This oath was really too heavy. In his opinion, it was even heavier than his life. Therefore, he pondered for a while and did not dare to respond.
"Why don't you say anything … You, what are you afraid of?
Don't … you have no confidence in our love?
Or, you never thought that you would come back?
If you will come back, then this oath, what does it count for? "
Suddenly, Qin Shi looked up as if he suddenly woke up. Yes, what was he afraid of?
He would definitely come back. He could not bear to leave the mother and daughter alone in this world. He nodded vigorously. "I promise you, I swear on our love!"
Yu Luocha nodded gently … and smiled. "I will wait for you, always, always, I will wait for you."
The two of them hugged each other again. It was not until a few delicate coughs came from behind that they quickly stopped.
"Ahem!
I say, if you want to be mushy, can you go home and be mushy?
Who are you showing off your love to here? "
Qin Shi looked back. Zi Lingsha had appeared behind him without him noticing. There was another person beside Zi Lingsha. When Qin Shi saw that person, he was stunned at first. Then, he smiled as if he had expected it.
