This time in the 36th Grand Sect Competition, Yunlai Sword Sect undoubtedly became the biggest winner.

  After the war, this second-rate sect that had been dormant in Wanxia County for many years finally rose to prominence. Its name echoed through every street and alley of Wanxia County, and almost everyone was discussing and gossiping about Yunlai Sword Sect and its young master, Qin Tianyi.

  Qin Tianyi's feat of killing the Northern Peak Sword Master with his great swordsmanship had been spread far and wide.

  There is a huge gap between the great swordsmen and the sword masters.

  If a genius-level ordinary great swordsmen cultivates the exquisite divine technique, the supreme sword art, and kills the external great swordsmen, even becoming an internal great swordsmen, the birth of such a genius will inevitably cause countless shocks, but from time to time, there are still occasional rumors in the Shendu Academy.

  But with the strength of a great swordsman, he killed a strong swordsman-level opponent...

  Even if it was a feat achieved by using a certain forbidden technique rumored to have originated from the Divine Void Academy, this achievement would still be absolutely stunning, astonishing ghosts and gods. If news of this were to spread to the Divine Void Academy, it would undoubtedly cause a stir.

  This battle has already pushed Qin Tianyi to the pinnacle of fame.

  With a young genius swordsman like Qin Tianyi presiding over the sect, it can be foreseen that as long as he doesn't fall, the entire Yunlai Sword Sect will develop at an explosive rate, surpassing the Xuanling Sect and becoming the new top sect in Wanxia County, it's only a matter of time.

  ……

  Yunlai Jianzong

  The entire Yunlai Sword Sect was on high alert, with disciples patrolling the sect at all times. In the void, two great swordsmen of the Thunder Eagle realm were constantly circling and taking turns on watch, even at night, without rest. Any cultivator who entered the Yunlai Sword Sect's range would be immediately detected by Lei and Shanguang, who would sound the alarm.

  Everyone understood that Yunlei Sword Sect's reputation in Wanxia County was all because of Qin Tianyi, and now that Qin Tianyi had not yet awakened, Yunlei Sword Sect couldn't be considered truly safe.

  At this moment, in Qin Tianyi's courtyard, Qin Yuyan was waiting anxiously without leaving his side.

  Looking at Qin Tianyi lying in bed for three whole days without any signs of waking up, a hint of heartache flashed across her face.

  With her right hand clutching the bed sheet, she felt both proud and self-reproachful.

  Proudly, Qin Tianyi has finally achieved great success and risen again, displaying the style of the number one sword genius in Wanxia County back then. He led the entire Yunlei Sword Sect to charge forward, clearing obstacles and making a name for themselves in this year's Wanxia County 36 Great Sects Competition. Even the Xuanling Sect, which had originally advanced to become a first-rate sect and should have been the main protagonist of this year's sect competition, unifying Wanxia County, was defeated by Qin Tianyi and collapsed.

  She kept saying that she wanted to protect Qin Tianyi, but every time they encountered real danger, it was not her who took the initiative, but Qin Tianyi himself. Now, Qin Tianyi is still fighting for Yunlai Sword Sect and has been unconscious until now.

  "Tianji! You must wake up! You are the young master of Yunlai Sword Sect, the most outstanding genius swordsman in Wanxia County. Even when you suffered a devastating blow that crippled your true energy and severed your meridians, you were able to hold on and, over the past three years, worked tirelessly to transform your energy into physical strength, advancing to the realm of Great Swordsman. I believe that this time, you will once again overcome the difficulties and unleash the dazzling brilliance of Wanxia County's number one genius!"

  Qin Yuyan looked at Qin Tianyi lying quietly in front of her and muttered to herself.

  Qin Tianyi, who was unconscious, naturally couldn't hear Qin Yuyan's words.

  At this moment, a silent and soundless change is taking place in his spiritual world.

  He previously started "No. 2" in normal mode, which had already drained the spiritual power of the spiritual world to empty, and later burst out with extremely strong power, and under the super-overload mode, it stimulated the power of the X-10 biological armor, making the spiritual world that was originally spiritually depleted completely collapse.

  The collapse of the spiritual world is like the damage to the dantian of a qigong practitioner, and the best result is that the spiritual level will be reduced by one level.

  Qin Tianyi, who was in a coma, actually reached this precarious situation.

  However, at the critical moment, that green bud in his spiritual world was like breaking through a restraint that had been holding it back, and the roots that were originally entwined on the blue fragments grew wildly and extended outward into his spiritual world.

  These roots extending from the spiritual world did not penetrate Qin Tianyi's physical body after leaving the spiritual world, but instead hid in the void.

  Each small sapling's root system is as if connected to the void, unknowingly linked to a mysterious and unknown world, constantly absorbing energy from those mystical spaces.

  Although the energy was so weak that it could be ignored, it made the green tender bud have a crystal clear color, as if a tree seedling that had been dry for countless years finally got the nourishment of rain and dew.

  The growth of the tender shoots extended beyond Qin Tianyi's spiritual world, but more parts still remained in his spiritual world, entwined with it, inseparable.

  Under this solid foundation, his spiritual world, which was originally slowly collapsing, miraculously stopped its collapse.

  It's like those massive landslides that were about to collapse, but because of the large number of trees planted at the foot of the mountain, countless roots deeply embedded in the ground, tightly grasping the foundation, and forcefully blocking the landslide.

  That's not all.

  It can be foreseen that as these trees grow, the root system develops, and the land will become more and more stable, and in the future, there may not even be a possibility of mudslides.

  This time's coma lasted for sixteen days.

  It wasn't until sixteen days later that the spiritual world's self-healing ability allowed Qin Tianyi's spirit to recover to the minimum standard required for his consciousness to return.

  In the afternoon, in a strong weakness, Qin Tianyi, who had been unconscious for sixteen days, opened his eyes for the first time.

  "Wake up! Wake up!"

  "Tiān jī xǐng le!"

  Translation: "Tianji woke up!"

  "It's great, Young Master is awake, Young Master has finally woken up."

  Before they could even take in their surroundings, the air was filled with waves of stifled screams, each one bursting with unbridled joy.

  Hearing these familiar voices, Qin Tianyi's heart slightly relaxed.

  Qin Yuyan, Xue Ziyi, Xiao Sumeng...

  No need to look, he has already distinguished it.

  They're all fine, it seems that the great calamity of the sect's comparison has already passed.

  "Don't make a noise, don't disturb, don't bother Young Master Shao's rest."

  After a moment, a voice full of majesty came over, the voice was old but sounded robust and majestic, it turned out to be Qi Lingyun, the pillar of Yunlai Sword Sect and another powerful swordsman of the sect.

  "Uncle Qi."

  Qin Tianji nodded.

  "Tianji, you rest well now, don't speak, and prioritize taking care of your body."

  Zi Lingyun stopped Qin Tianyi who wanted to speak up and instructed cautiously.

  "I know... Qi Changlao... Sect's Grand Competition..."

  "It's all over, we're fine, the sect competition has ended, and the Xuanling Sect is almost disbanded. Now, no other sect dares to provoke us Yunlai Sword Sect, you can rest assured."

  As soon as Qin Tianji opened his mouth, Qi Lingyun immediately knew what he wanted to ask and hastily said.

  "Uh-huh."

  Qin Tianyi responded with a sound.

  His spirit has not fully recovered yet and is indeed very weak. After just saying a few words, he suddenly felt mentally exhausted and drowsy again.

  "Alright, Tianji, you get some rest. Zi Yi, I'm leaving Shao Zongzhu in your care. If there's any change, report to me immediately."

  "Yes, Elder Qi."

  "Alright, let's leave with me then, don't disturb the Young Master anymore. Especially you, Yu Yan, in these sixteen days, you've slept for less than ten hours in total. Even if you're an eighth-level swordsman, your body absolutely can't withstand this kind of torture."

  Qin Yuyan's face showed a hint of exhaustion from the heart, but her face wore a faint smile, and she nodded: "Seeing Tianji wake up, I can rest assured, Qi Changlao, I will go back to rest now."

  "Well, okay, everyone can disperse now."

  "Yes."

  Xiao Su Yue and other disciples responded in unison.

  Soon, Qin Tianyi could feel the surroundings becoming quieter.

  However, he, who was spiritually weak, no longer had so much time to comprehend the changes in the outside world. At this moment, he looked at the vast spiritual realm with numerous roots and felt somewhat caught off guard.

  "This is..."

  A faint stir in his heart, Qin Tianji had already condensed a thread of spiritual power and sent it towards those roots that were touching him.

  However, just like he previously came into contact with that green fragment and green bud, these things exist in his spiritual world, yet they seem to be in two parallel spaces. Even his spirit can't sense the slightest bit of these roots.

  "As expected... I can't feel the presence of these roots... The only change is that the spiritual world has become much more stable than before."

  Qin Tianji's mind was racing.

  He used to practice the Star Map Tempering Technique, imagining the starry sky exploding three to five times a day. He would feel as if his spiritual world was about to be blown open, but continuing to practice this way not only brought no benefits, but instead harmed his spirit...

  But at this moment...

  Even if you imagine a starry sky explosion ten or more times a day, it cannot cause a heavy burden on the spiritual world.

  "When I activated 'Number Two' in Overload Mode, my mental strength had already reached the point of exhaustion. I thought that this time, my spiritual power level would drop to eighth rank, or even seventh rank. But unexpectedly, not only did my spiritual power level not decrease... but it also caused a transformation in the spiritual world... The only thing is, I don't know whether this change is good or bad."

  Qin Tianyi thought in his heart.

  A moment later, he had temporarily cast this idea aside.

  "Now is not the time to think about these things, let's talk about everything when I'm fully recovered mentally."

  His spirit was so severely damaged that he obviously could no longer cultivate the Starry Sky Mental Cultivation Method, and had to slowly let himself enter a meditative state. In meditation, his heavily damaged spiritual world was quietly recovering with the sound of gentle water.
