Chapter 69: The Upcoming New Journey

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  In Qin Tianyi's courtyard, from time to time, a dull explosion sound came, each one was loud and powerful, emitting a shocking force that shook people's hearts.

  The muffled sound continued for a moment and then gradually subsided.

  Qin Tianyi, with sweat on his body, walked out of the courtyard.

  "Even without activating the X-01 bio-mech suit, just the fusion of this mech with my physical body, the defensive capabilities and kinetic amplification it brings, have increased my physical strength by a large margin. My current true energy cultivation is equivalent to that of a newly formed outer aura great swordsman, but my physical technique strength is not inferior to any outer aura great swordsman. Combining both, defeating an outer aura great swordsman is not a difficult task!"

  Qin Tianyi, who had a general grasp of his own strength, muttered to himself.

  "Number two, check my physical condition."

  "Ding! Body condition detection in progress! Host Qin Tianyi, age 20, physical strength 2.6 (+2), spiritual strength 2, true energy strength 4.2! Cultivation optimized version Yunhai Chaosheng Jue, Xingtutu, learned sword techniques Fengyun Ershisan Jian, Baoyue Fenglei Jianjue, learned body technique Linghou Bai Bian..."

  The +2 in physical strength is the ability that comes with the X-01 power armor, and if it's started in energy-saving mode, this number can reach as high as +5 or +6.

  However, among all the data, what made Qin Tianyi most satisfied was still his spiritual strength.

  When his spiritual intensity reached 2, although his spiritual energy level did not break through to the master level, he could clearly feel his perception of the outside world and it had become more clear and sensitive. Sometimes, without even looking, he could distinguish whether someone was male or female just by their footsteps or breathing sounds.

  Especially for Yunlai Jianzong people who are extremely familiar with him, even if they are separated by a courtyard, he can still sense who is outside the courtyard from some details.

  "It's been a month since the sect's grand competition."

  Qin Tianji stood somewhat wistfully in the small square of his own courtyard, gazing out at the outer courtyard of Yunlai Sword Sect.

  Compared with the desolate and eerie atmosphere of that year, Yunlai Sword Sect is now much more lively.

  Even though Qin Tianyi had repeatedly instructed beforehand that recruiting disciples must be strict, with talent and aptitude being secondary, the key is moral character and temperament. However, after a month, the number of Cloudy Sword Sect's disciples still increased from the original forty-four people to two hundred and sixty-five people.

  Apart from these disciples, the sect masters and elders of various major sects who came to visit Yunlai Sword Sect every day, as well as the heads of various large families, were endless. Especially after learning that Qin Tianyi had finally woken up after being in a coma for half a month, even the Duke of Wanxia County, Lu Dingdong, personally sent his strongest swordsman, Zhao Hanqing, to come and offer his condolences, expressing his importance to Yunlai Sword Sect.

  What is the identity of Wanxia County Magistrate Lu Dingdong and others?

  Personally dispatching a swordsman of the highest level to offer condolences, this is an honor that not only did Qin Huailing, the previous sect master, never experience during his time, but even during the most prosperous period of Yunlai Sword Sect, led by Sect Master Qin Dongtian, they had never received such attention.

  The current Yunlai Sword Sect, although it has not officially been promoted to a first-rate sect and obtained the qualifications of a first-rate sect, however, the treatment and specifications it receives are completely unmatched by any other first-rate sect. Even those previously ambitious Thunder God Temple, Taiyin Pavilion, Xianxia Sect and other second-rate sects have tacitly acknowledged Yunlai Sword Sect as the leader of Wanxia County, with only a difference in the form of succession.

  "The disaster of Yunlai Sword Sect has finally passed, the treasured sword will be sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms will come from bitter cold. From now on, Yunlai Sword Sect will enter a period of rapid development, smooth sailing, until it recovers to its heyday when it had a master swordsman in residence, fulfilling the long-cherished wish of all Yunlai Sword Sect disciples."

  Qin Tianyi muttered to himself.

  Standing on the mountain waist, I only feel that my brain is empty and refreshing, a layer of dark clouds that has been pressing on my head has completely disappeared, and all over my body, there is an unspeakable comfort.

  In this strange and ethereal atmosphere, the spiritual scale that had only just increased from 1.9 to 2.0 half a month ago has actually risen again, reaching 2.1.

  "Wishes fulfilled, thoughts flowing smoothly..."

  Qin Tianyi smiled slightly, and a subtle change in his spiritual world was reflected in his chest.

  He had taken over the body of the Young Master of Yunlai Sword Sect, and in his heart, he had always felt a sense of guilt. Especially Qin Yuyan's heartfelt care and love for him, as well as her determination to protect him at all costs, even if it meant risking her own life, made his heart tremble with emotion. He vowed to destroy Xuanling and revive Yunlai Sword Sect.

  At present...

  He finally did it.

  Yun Laijian brought glory to the Yunlai Sword Sect that even Qin Huailing, the previous sect master, had never possessed.

  "Less is more."

  Yamashita passed by the snow bamboo and saw that he had left the courtyard, quietly observing the prosperity of Yunlai Sword Sect. Qin Tianji hurriedly came over to greet him enthusiastically.

  "Snow Bamboo Junior Sister."

  Qin Tianyi nodded slightly.

  Due to the daily visits of sect masters, elders and family heads without any interruption, coupled with Yunlai Sword Sect's current fame, hundreds and thousands of young heroes and martial arts enthusiasts flocked to Yunlai Sword Sect, wanting to become a member of Yunlai Sword Sect. As a result, Qin Yuyan, Xiao Sumoon, Gu Cheng, Yi Shishi and other core figures were all extremely busy, leaving only ordinary disciples like Xue Zhu and others with some spare time.

  "Shaoshi Zhu, how's your recovery going? Qi Lao and the others all said to let you avoid practicing for now, prioritize taking care of your body."

  "Hehe, it's already been a month, even the most severe injuries should have recovered. If I continue to recuperate, my whole body will rust."

  Qin Tianyi said, looking in the direction of the mountain gate, as if thinking of something, and asked: "By the way, I remember that ten days ago, Qi Lao had personally gone out to visit Xuanling Sect to retrieve Yunxiao Sword for our Yunlei Sword Sect. Does anyone know if this matter has been resolved?"

  "Yun Xiao Jian..."

  When it comes to this matter, Xue Zhu becomes somewhat depressed: "That Yun Xiao Sword fell into the hands of Su Yuhan, a talented disciple of Xuan Ling Sect. With the help of Yun Xiao Sword's spiritual sword, in just one month, he actually cultivated to the 9th level of swordsmanship. Under the cultivation of Xuan Ling Sect's master, he advanced to the realm of great swordsmanship in the next three months and had the qualifications to enter the Divine Communication Stage... Ten days ago, Qi Changzhen went to Xuan Ling Sect to retrieve the sword and learned that Su Yuhan had become a member of Shenyuan Academy for some reason."

  "Su Yuhuan, entered Shenyu Academy?"

  "Yes, our Yunlai Sword Sect is indeed famous in Wanxia County and recognized as the first sect among the 34 major sects. However, in the Shenvu Academy, which even the royal family dare not offend, we have no influence at all. If Elder Qi were to go to Shenvu Academy, I estimate he wouldn't even be able to get past the entrance..."

  The next words didn't need Xue Zhu to continue speaking.

  "Uh, Yun Xiao Sword is what I'm going to give to Xuan Ling Sect. Now that I've recovered, once I've taken care of the matters in our sect, I'll personally head to Shen Xu Academy and take back our Yun Lei Sword Sect's Yun Xiao Sword from Su Yu Han."

  "Shao Zongzhu, you're a genius who can even defeat Beiyue, the strongest swordsman. I believe you can definitely retrieve the Yunxiao Sword."

  Qin Tianyi smiled slightly.

  Mount Heng

  Although he is a swordsman, after all, he has just broken through and his realm is not yet stable. Defeating him doesn't count for much.

  And...

  After activating the X-01 type biological mech, he is indeed a master-level cultivator. To deal with such a cultivator, only a fool would engage in a head-on confrontation. The opponent just needs to use guerrilla warfare as the main tactic, exhausting his spirit until it can no longer support the formal activation of the X-01 type biological mech, and then he will be at the mercy of others.

  Of course, under normal mode activation, the X-01 type biological mech suit has overwhelming power against even a strong swordsman like Sheng, but this power only lasts for one hit.

  Those swordsmen who are well aware of his true nature and excel in speed may be able to completely avoid this devastating blow.

  After one blow, the spirit is exhausted, and life and death are up to heaven.

  As a result, he now has an absolute advantage over the cultivators below the Upper Sword Master, but against a true Upper Sword Master...

  It is still unknown who will have the last laugh.

  These words he would never say out loud, striking a blow at the confidence of Yunlai Jianzong's disciples.

  Considering Qin Yuyan and Qi Lingyun were both busy with their own matters, Qin Tianyi didn't go to disturb them. After taking a bath, he quietly began to cultivate the "Starry Sky" Refining Spirit Technique.

  The more he cultivated this divine ability, the more he could feel its extraordinary and unusual aspects.

  Although he has now touched the bottleneck of spiritual masters, however, among the nine-tiered spiritual practitioners at the peak of the Federal World, there are countless spiritual practitioners who have reached the ninth tier. Yet, without exception, they all get stuck at the bottleneck of spiritual masters when trying to break through from the ninth tier.

  The cultivation of spiritual energy is like sifting sand in the ocean currents.

  If all one's energy is devoted to spiritual power training, five out of ten ordinary people can become sixth-level spiritual power holders.

  But among one hundred sixth-level spiritual practitioners, only one or two can break through the barrier and become a seventh-level advanced spiritual practitioner.

  From the 9th level of spiritual power, advancing to a spiritual master is a hundred times more difficult than a single breath. Without good fortune and opportunity, even among 10,000 peak 9th-level spiritual powers, it's unlikely that one person can successfully break through and become a spiritual master.

  It can be seen how difficult it is to break through to the realm of spiritual masters.

  However, since Qin Tianyi cultivated the "Star Chart" Refining Spirit Technique, his spirit has been constantly gathering, compressing, exploding, and starizing. Through each purification and starization, he can clearly feel the growth and transformation of his spiritual abilities. Following this trend, in three to five years, even if he doesn't have any opportunities, he will naturally break through the bottleneck and become a renowned Spiritual Master with an extremely high status in the Federation world.

  Once he becomes a spiritual master and formally possesses the strength to activate the X-01 bio-mech, at that time, he will truly enter the ranks of the strong in the Great Xia Dynasty!
