After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

"call…"

Looking at the Heavenly Evolution Cylinder in his hand, which was pulsating with profound energy, Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, a look of pride appearing on his face.

After trying for so long, I finally succeeded.

Even so, he still felt a pang of heartache.

A Heavenly Cycle made from a single piece of Azure Bamboo is equivalent to 100,000 Spirit Crystals.

To spend over 500,000 spirit crystals in just a short time is incredibly extravagant.

The hundred or so Heavenly Evolution Cylinders here probably represent most of the Demon Cloud Ancestor's life savings.

Without much rest, Qin Chuan immediately took out a new Heavenly Evolution Cylinder.

The Fiery Palm technique posed little threat to Luo Tianzhen; it was merely a practice move.

What he needs to do now is to put the Floating Pagoda Finger into the Heavenly Evolution Tube.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Chuan cut his finger, used the Floating Pagoda Finger technique to condense the energy without releasing it, and slowly put it into the Heavenly Evolution Cylinder.

This process was even more difficult than Qin Chuan had imagined.

In just a moment, his forehead was covered in sweat.

He must be highly focused; the slightest lapse in concentration could cause an explosion.

Suddenly, Qin Chuan's expression changed drastically, and he quickly used the Falling Leaf Step to dodge.

"boom!"

In an instant, a loud bang suddenly rang out.

"Squeak!"

The spirit rat was already used to this, so it rolled over and continued eating the magical artifact in front of it.

This was what Qin Chuan threw at it after the protest was issued.

"Strange, what's going on?"

Qin Chuan frowned and looked at the spot where the explosion had just occurred.

From the very beginning, he was extremely cautious and should not have made any disturbances.

But for some reason, the moment the Floating Pagoda Finger was inserted into the Heavenly Evolution Cylinder, an explosion immediately occurred.

"Come again!"

Qin Chuan's eyes were determined, and he continued to try without giving up.

"boom!"

Not long after, another explosion was heard.

Without hesitation, Qin Chuan tried again.

"boom…"

After failing four times in a row, he finally found the problem.

"The problem lies with the Heavenly Evolution Cylinder itself!"

Qin Chuan suddenly realized.

This situation arose because the power of the Floating Pagoda Finger had surpassed that of the Heavenly Evolution Cylinder made of Azure Bamboo.

It seems that only higher-grade Purple Gold Bamboo or Thunder Bamboo would be suitable.

Having realized this, Qin Chuan didn't waste any time, but instead opted for a less desirable option.

They began loading the Blood Flame Skybreaker and Blood Flame Tiger Soul Slash techniques from the Blood Flame Sword Art into the Heavenly Evolution Cylinder.

Although there are occasional failures, at least both of these martial arts techniques can be stored in the Heavenly Evolution Cylinder.

Time passes gradually.

The number of empty Heavenly Cycles on Qin Chuan's left side gradually decreased, while the number of Heavenly Cycles filled with martial arts techniques on his right side gradually increased.

Although this process consumed a great deal of Xuan power, Qin Chuan could also feel that his spiritual power had also made great progress.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and four days have passed in the outside world as well.

Throughout the year, Qin Chuan spent most of his time practicing martial arts and recovering his profound energy.

"call…"

Looking at the Heavenly Evolution Cylinders piled high in front of him, Qin Chuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he rubbed his slightly dizzy head.

At this moment, he was pale, his hair was messy, and he looked very disheveled.

Imbuing martial arts techniques into the Heavenly Cycle is an extremely mentally taxing task.

Throughout the year, he barely rested, working day and night to load martial arts techniques into these Heavenly Evolution Cylinders.

He finally understood why the Demon Cloud Ancestor had so many Heavenly Evolution Cylindricals, yet most of them were empty.

This is because the process is not only too difficult, but also extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.

"Fortunately, all of this has finally paid off..." Qin Chuan said in a low voice.

Within these Heavenly Evolution Cylinders, there is one Fiery Palm, thirty Blood Flame Sky-Piercing Palms, fifteen Blood Flame Tiger Soul Slashes, and three Floating Pagoda Finger Techniques!

As for the Floating Pagoda Finger, he discovered several of them being quite old while he was incorporating martial arts techniques into the Heavenly Evolution Cylinder.

I just wanted to try installing the Buddha finger, and I didn't expect it to actually work. In the end, I managed to install three in total.

The remaining twenty empty Heavenly Evolution Cylinders were destroyed during the process of loading martial arts techniques, except for the twenty empty ones kept as spares.

After putting the pill into his mouth, Qin Chuan immediately closed his eyes to calm his mind and adjust his condition to its best.

Three days later, he slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

"it's time…"

Qin Chuan muttered to himself.

As he spoke, with a thought, he withdrew from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace space and returned to the valley.

It was midday, the sun was blazing, and even the air felt slightly hot.

"Boy, you really are still here. It wasn't for nothing that I've been waiting for you for so long!"

The moment Qin Chuan came out, a gloomy voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Luo Tianzhen was sitting cross-legged on a large rock not far away, staring at Qin Chuan with a playful smile.

A fiery glint flashed in his eyes.

This person was able to appear silently and isolate himself from all divine sense and aura; he must possess some kind of treasure.

Especially the opponent's injuries, even with the help of elixirs, could not possibly heal so quickly!

Thinking of this, a deep greed appeared in Luo Tianzhen's eyes.

As he stood up, Luo Tianzhen said, "I didn't expect you to be so cunning. You actually managed to fool me that day."

After I left, the more I thought about it, the more something seemed off. How could a mere cultivator at the eighth level of the Profound King realm possess a genuine-grade magic weapon…”

"Leave?"

Qin Chuan chuckled sarcastically and interrupted, "That sounds so nice, but the way someone ran away back then was quite pathetic!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianzhen's expression gradually darkened, and a chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes.

After a while, he seemed to have calmed down and chuckled to himself.

"Even if we take a step back and assume you have this genuine magic treasure, given your cultivation level and the severe injuries you sustained at the time, how could you possibly unleash its full power?"

But when I returned, you suddenly disappeared in my divine sense.

This is completely illogical, so I've been waiting here, just for you to appear!

At this point, he narrowed his eyes slightly, then suddenly frowned and said, "Why do you seem so unsurprised?"

"Nothing surprising."

Qin Chuan smiled coldly and said calmly, "Because I'm here to kill you!"

"Kill me?"

Luo Tianzhen burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"You, a mere eighth-level Xuanwang cultivator, dare to presume to kill a second-level Xuanhuang cultivator?"

"Are you out of your mind, or am I just too ignorant?"

Ignoring Luo Tianzhen's mockery, Qin Chuan remained expressionless, his left eye already covered in blood.

At the same time, he flipped his wrist, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

"You're courting death! This is Hao'er's sword, how dare you erase the divine imprint on it!"

Upon seeing the sword in Qin Chuan's hand, Luo Tianzhen's eyes widened in fury, and he could no longer remain calm.

His black robes fluttered without wind, revealing the overwhelming pressure of the second level of the Xuanhuang realm.

"Die to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Tianzhen pushed off with his feet and rushed towards Qin Chuan.

Looking at Luo Tianzhen rushing towards him, Qin Chuan remained calm, his eyes devoid of any emotion, and spoke indifferently.

"Silver Moon Sword Technique, First Form: Silver Moon Slash!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a silver sword light, imbued with an unparalleled aura, slashed toward him with unstoppable force!
