Zhou Qing looked at the panel.

After half a year of 'arduous training', all ten kinds of intent power he had mastered had now been upgraded from the Heaven Fusion Rank to the Domain Transformation Rank.

"Half a year has passed. I wonder if the Four Seas Pavilion has any news about the Innate Primordial True Skill: Refining Qi into Pills."

Zhou Qing immediately ended his arduous cultivation and headed to the Four Seas Pavilion.

"Young Master Zhou, you have finally emerged from seclusion."

Upon hearing that Zhou Qing had arrived at the Four Seas Pavilion, Xia Yifeng, the Pavilion Master of the Baoyu Kingdom Branch Pavilion, rushed over immediately.

For his own safety, Zhou Qing did not tell anyone his whereabouts, nor did he frequently visit the Four Seas Pavilion. During his six months of 'ascetic training', he only came to the Four Seas Pavilion once.

This is the second time.

"Sect Master Xia," Zhou Qing cupped his hands in greeting, then asked, "What makes you so anxious? Is there some progress on the matter I asked you to handle?"

“Not bad, Young Master Zhou, there has been progress on the matter you entrusted to us.” Xia Yifeng nodded, then said, “However, I cannot guarantee whether we can obtain the Innate Primordial True Technique: Refining Qi into Pills with 100% certainty.”

"How to say?"

Zhou Qing looked at Xia Yifeng, waiting for what would happen next.

"This is a long story." Xia Yifeng thought for a moment, then asked, "Does Young Master Zhou know anything about the previous dynasty?"

"The previous dynasty? Pavilion Master Xia is referring to the Great Wei Dynasty?" Zhou Qing frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Could it be that the information Pavilion Master Xia found about the Innate Primordial True Art Refining Pill Chapter is related to the Great Wei Dynasty?"

“That’s right, it’s the Great Wei Dynasty.” Xia Yifeng nodded and then said, “More than a thousand years ago, the Great Wei Dynasty was overthrown by the Great Xuan and various forces. However, the royal grandmaster of the Great Wei Dynasty was not killed. Instead, he escaped with some of the Great Wei’s treasures, and then disappeared without a trace. Half a month ago, a nameless island overseas was frequently shrouded in spiritual light, which attracted many martial artists to investigate and discover a spiritual land that had not yet been revealed to the world.”

However, that spiritual place is protected by a restriction, and the restriction is so strong that even a True Core Grandmaster cannot forcibly break it.

After extensive investigation, it was discovered that the restrictions on that sacred site were actually left behind by the Grandmaster of the Great Wei Dynasty who had fled the royal family.

The martial arts techniques possessed by the Great Xuan Dynasty were basically inherited from the Great Wei Dynasty. Among the treasures left behind by the Grandmasters of the Great Wei Dynasty, there must be the method for refining the Qi into elixir using the Innate Primordial True Skill.

“The treasure of the Great Wei Dynasty!” Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, “Sect Master Xia, since that spiritual land was left by a Grandmaster of the Great Wei Dynasty’s royal family, surely no Grandmaster has been tempted by it, and the Great Xuan Dynasty probably wouldn’t just sit idly by, would it?”

"That's natural. After the news spread, the Grandmasters of the Imperial Heaven Sect, the Eagle Wolf Guard Commander Ling Tianyue, the Fire Worship Cult leader Lin Nantian who had already established the Yan Kingdom, and even the Grandmasters of True Martial City all appeared together to break the restriction," Xia Yifeng said. "However, when the restriction was halfway broken, a Transformation-level spiritual weapon broke through the blockade of the four Grandmasters and fled far away. These four Grandmasters all went to pursue that Transformation-level spiritual weapon, after all, Transformation-level spiritual weapons are too precious, enough to tempt even Grandmasters. As for the restriction of that spiritual land, because the four Grandmasters had already broken most of it, its power was weakened by dozens of times. After the four Grandmasters left, the True Core Grandmasters of the various forces continued to break the restriction."

After several days of cracking, we have now reached the final stage.

"A Transformation-level spiritual weapon?" Zhou Qing asked, "Is this a spiritual weapon belonging to the Grandmaster level?"

"Not bad!" Xia Yifeng said, "Spiritual weapons at the Innate Realm are divided into low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade, while Grandmaster-level spiritual weapons are divided into three levels: Spiritual Conception, Transformation, and Great Ascension. Currently, the Grandmaster-level spiritual weapons possessed by the major top forces are basically at the Spiritual Conception level, while the full power unleashed by Transformation-level spiritual weapons is equivalent to the third to sixth level of the Grandmaster realm."

Therefore, the appearance of that Transformation-level spiritual weapon immediately attracted the joint pursuit of the four Grandmasters. Whichever Grandmaster obtained that Transformation-level spiritual weapon would see their strength increase several times over, altering the balance among the Grandmasters.

"I see!"

Zhou Qing nodded.

The four Grandmasters were all pursuing and vying for the Transformation-level spiritual weapon, while the remaining True Core Grandmasters continued to break the restrictions and compete for the treasures of the Great Wei Dynasty.

"Sect Master Xia, where is that small island?"

Zhou Qing asked.

“That small island is more than three thousand miles away from King Baoyu.” Xia Yifeng took out a sea chart and handed it to Zhou Qing, saying, “This is a sea chart. If Young Master Zhou flies there at full speed now, he may still be able to catch up with the treasure of the Great Wei Dynasty.”

Xia Yifeng knew that Zhou Qing had obtained the Heavenly Heart Stone, which at least allowed him to elevate one of his artistic conceptions to the Transformation Domain level. With an artistic conception domain, one could fly through the air.

"Thank you!" Zhou Qing took the nautical chart, carefully examined the route on it, and then cupped his hands to Xia Yifeng and said, "Sect Master Xia, I'll take my leave now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Qing leaped out of the window and, enveloped by the realm of intent, soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Xia Yifeng watched Zhou Qing's departing figure with a complex expression. He murmured to himself, "This boy's future achievements are limitless. If he can successfully refine his Qi into a pill, he will be the first person in thousands of years since the loss of contact with the Land of Saints to cultivate the Innate Primordial Chaos True Art to the True Pill Realm. Perhaps he can re-establish contact with the Land of Saints."

Xia Yifeng was filled with anticipation.

If we can truly establish a connection with the sacred lands, there might be a way to restore the ancient glory. Otherwise, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will become increasingly scarce, and eventually even the birth of a Grandmaster will be difficult.

Zhou Qing flew at an extremely high speed.

In just a few hours, he had already flown three thousand miles away.

Ahead, an island appears.

Zhou Qing saw the area on the island covered by spiritual light.

All around were grandmasters, who were attacking the restriction seal with all their might.
