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

Just then, Qin Chuan suddenly had a thought.

His consciousness immediately sank into the Blood Immortal Mask, focusing around the Blood Qilin.

Before long, Qin Chuan made a delightful discovery.

As his cultivation level improved, the Blood Qilin was almost awake.

Qin Chuan even predicted that it might not be long before...

The Blood Qilin will then truly emerge from within the Blood Immortal Mask and descend upon the Tianyuan Continent.

Qin Chuan withdrew his divine sense, a smile appearing on his face, and began to adjust his internal cultivation.

After recovering from the heavenly tribulation, there were some hidden injuries in his body.

At this very moment, in the Western Regions, the gloomy sky that had persisted for several years was perhaps due to the previous heavenly calamity.

This caused the gloomy sky to clear up for the first time in years.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell on Qinghai Lake.

The colors of the sea blend together, creating an indescribable beautiful scene.

In this beautiful scene, Qin Chuan sits cross-legged on the sea, his frail appearance returning to normal.

He had his eyes closed and was very quiet.

The whole world seemed to be still at that moment.

They were all immersed in beauty and tranquility, with only the gentle lapping of the waves…

Just a few days later, an uninvited group of guests shattered the peace here.

It was a sedan chair, carried by four men in black whose bodies were somewhat distorted, as if they were somewhere between illusion and reality.

Inside the sedan chair, the curtain had already been lifted, revealing a richly dressed middle-aged man.

The man was drinking a glass of wine, with a withered female corpse beside him.

The female corpse was naked and looked as if she had been dug out of a grave.

Upon closer inspection, the corpse was not old and withered, and must have been a beautiful woman in life.

But now, the vitality has long since vanished.

Her fatal injury was the bruise on her neck.

Her neck was twisted irregularly at that moment, a shocking sight.

The person who killed her is now leaning against her corpse.

He sipped his wine while gently stroking the withered female corpse beside him.

"That's strange, it should be right here around here."

The strange lightning that had gathered here has now dissipated.

But it's only been a few days, how come there's nothing left here?

The middle-aged man was none other than Yuwen Qing, who was in the Second Market that day.

Yuwen Hongye, the only Xuanzun Ancestor in the Barbarian Stone Tribe and one of the three giants of the Mo Tu Xi Hai Alliance, is the only son of the tribe in his later years!

Seven elderly men silently followed around the sedan chair.

Among the seven, the strongest was an old man surnamed Duan, who was at the peak of the ninth level of the Xuanzong realm.

With such cultivation, one would be a powerful figure anywhere.

Even if the Xuanzun Ancestor saw it, he would attach great importance to it and try his best to recruit him.

"Young Master, please don't be anxious. There are no living beings in these surrounding seas. If any treasure does appear, it will surely belong to you!"

"That's right. Besides, when we came, we carefully checked the surroundings and set up formations."

We didn't enter until we sensed the fluctuations of the lightning tribulation disappearing in the distance.

The strangeness of this place is what we should explore first.

The seven Xuanzong cultivators smiled and spoke upon hearing Yuwen Qing's voice.

Only Old Duan remained silent, instead frowning and looking around with a slightly grave expression.

For some reason, he felt a sense of dread as soon as he stepped into this area.

It felt as if he had stepped into some extremely dangerous area, where something terrifying seemed to be lurking.

This feeling was subtle and elusive, yet it still captivated Old Master Duan's attention.

As the group moved forward, a moment later, everyone suddenly stopped.

Everyone's gaze instantly fell on the sea not far away.

A young man dressed in a black robe sat cross-legged on the sea.

The young man seemed harmless; he was quiet and gentle.

His thin build was obvious; he sat there cross-legged, motionless.

His cultivation level was unfathomable.

At first glance, it resembles the first level of Xuanzong, but upon closer inspection, it seems to be the fifth level of Xuanzong.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed to have transformed into seven or eight layers of heaven.

At times, it even gives the impression of being at the peak of the ninth level of the Xuanzong realm!

This scene immediately put Old Duan on high alert, even for a split second.

The moment he saw Qin Chuan, he felt a sense of unease, as if he were being pricked by needles.

This feeling immediately made his eyes gleam.

In addition, Mr. Duan felt that something seemed off about the other party.

The other six Xuanzong cultivators were also surprised, their expressions becoming slightly solemn.

After all, the appearance of such a strange cultivator in this unusual place made them cautious.

But it was merely a sense of solemnity and caution.

In their judgment, no matter how high the cultivation level of the person in front of them was.

Of the seven, one was at the peak of the ninth level of the Xuanzong realm, two were at the eighth level, and four were at the fifth level.

Such strength would be considered exceptional anywhere.

Otherwise, Yuwen Hongye wouldn't have arranged for his only sons to be protected outside.

However, they all had a feeling that something was wrong, but they couldn't figure out where it came from.

"Oh ho, someone's meditating here?"

Raise your head, state your name, and hand over your storage ring.

"Since you're here, the extraordinary treasure that attracted Qi Lei must be on you!"

Yuwen Qing leaned against the female corpse, glanced at Qin Chuan on the sea, and laughed, his voice filled with contempt.

Yuwen Qing couldn't see through Qin Chuan's cultivation level, but he could infer it from his life.

He can't see through everyone's cultivation level because he doesn't need to, and there's no need for, it.

His father was the Xuanzun Ancestor, and that alone was enough.

His life has never required consideration of the other party's cultivation level.

No matter who it is, as long as they are not at the same level as his father, anyone who dares to provoke him will be annihilated, body and soul.

Countless facts have already proven this point.

This also made Yuwen Qing accustomed to being arrogant and aloof.

But as soon as he spoke, Old Duan's expression changed drastically, and his body shuddered.

In an instant, I found the place that I had felt was wrong.

"This person... was actually sitting cross-legged on Qinghai Lake!!"

Old Duan took a deep breath, his mind reeling.

He had sensed something was wrong before, but he overlooked Qinghai, and only now does he realize it.

The other party could sit cross-legged in this deathly aura, a place so terrifying that even touching it would make one tremble and dare not linger for long!

At the same time, the expressions of the other six Xuanzong cultivators also changed instantly.

As their eyes narrowed, they both realized the terror and eeriness of Qin Chuan's place.

Just as these seven people realized this, Qin Chuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at them.

After scanning around, his gaze landed on Yuwen Qing.

When Qin Chuan swept his gaze over them, all six of the seven people, except for Elder Duan, were shaken.

It was as if Qin Chuan's gaze, like a sharp sword, pierced through their minds and transformed into a thunderous roar.

Even Elder Duan's expression grew increasingly solemn.
