Chapter 515, Shocking the Entire Manor

Translator: Silavin

 

[Could this brat have some Secret Technique to hide his Divine Soul Bead?] Dong Yang murmured in his heart, then swept his Spiritual Energy through Qin Yichen’s Knowledge Sea again, yet still found nothing. Right now, he was certain that there was not even a ripple of Spiritual Energy.

 

[In that case, he must be in possession of a rare treasure!] Having failed to locate the Divine Soul Bead, Dong Yang was not surprised in the slightest; instead, he was delighted. For someone without a Divine Soul Bead to have such a dazzling performance in the Alchemy World Summit could only mean one thing—Qin Yichen must possess some Heaven-defying treasure!

 

“Brat! You don’t even have a Divine Soul Bead, yet you dare infiltrate our Alchemy Manor. Hand over the treasure you’ve been using to cheat, or I’ll destroy your Knowledge Sea right now!” Dong Yang furrowed his brows after scrutinising Qin Yichen without finding anything unusual, and loudly shouted.

 

“What? He doesn’t have a Divine Soul Bead!?”

 

“Heaven! Then, how did he withstand that terrifying attack from Kuang Yuanqi?”

 

*Siii…*

 

Upon hearing these words, many people’s breathing suddenly grew heavy, and their gazes filled with intense greed. What sort of Artifact could allow someone without a Divine Soul Bead to withstand a full-force attack from a Late Stage Spiritual Flow Realm expert?

 

However, some more rational individuals began to doubt—how could such a treasure possibly exist?

 

“Wait… no Divine Soul Bead…” Suddenly, Tian Liang was momentarily stunned, muttering to himself. “Could it be… He had already reached that Realm!?”

 

Yet, as soon as this thought arose, he dismissed it. How old was Qin Yichen? It should not be possible!

 

Compared to the Spiritual Rupture Realm, he was more inclined to believe that Qin Yichen possessed some Heaven-defying treasure.

 

“Damn it! This doesn’t make sense. If he’s not even an Alchemy Master, how did he pass the test!?” At this moment, Dong Yang’s heart skipped a beat, as if he had reached the same conclusion as Tian Liang… his originally vicious expression instantly turned ugly.

 

“Congratulations, you’ve finally got it.”

 

As Dong Yang’s expression changed, a calm voice finally resonated through the air.

 

*Boom!* With those words, the Spiritual Energy enveloping Qin Yichen directly exploded before countless watchful eyes with a bang. A terrifying Spiritual Energy storm swept outward at a horrifying speed.

 

“Disperse!”

 

Just as everyone despaired at this sudden catastrophe, that calm voice sounded again.

 

*Whoosh…* Following these words, the surging Spiritual Energy shockwaves instantly dissolved into nothing. Without even causing the slightest breeze, they vanished into the horizon as if they had never existed.

 

*Puuuuu!* As the tsunami-like Spiritual Energy disappeared, Dong Yang’s face instantly turned pale. A mouthful of crimson blood spurted from his mouth, and his body fell powerlessly to the ground. As his body collapsed, the gleam in his eyes rapidly faded. Within just a few breaths, his deep eyes became cloudy, and his usually immortal-like demeanour completely vanished.

 

This change in Dong Yang was not unfamiliar to any Alchemy Master—it was the manifestation of that person’s Divine Soul Bead being forcibly destroyed!

 

In just an instant, the highly respected Grand Adviser had been defeated and even crippled!

 

Gazing at Dong Yang lying limply on the ground, the entire place fell silent…

 

At this moment, intense shock crept onto everyone’s faces, including the Manor Master!

 

Their gazes were all fixed firmly on that tall figure standing like a pine tree, their astonishment undoubtedly reaching its peak.

 

No one had anticipated such an outcome. Everyone had believed that Qin Yichen was merely being boundlessly arrogant, just spouting nonsense. But now, those who had been full of mockery and ready to enjoy the show found their sneers suddenly frozen, making them look like clowns. It was ridiculous and laughable!

 

Through the gaps between his fingers, Tian Liang also witnessed this scene that he would never forget. His heart, which had been shocked countless times, began to beat violently once more.

 

“No Divine Soul Bead, yet casually crushing a Late Stage Spiritual Flow Realm expert… Y-you have already reached the Spiritual Rupture Realm!?”

 

Tian Liang’s mind raced, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled upward, growing wider and wider until finally, he could not help but burst into laughter.

 

Hearing Tian Liang’s joyful and triumphant laughter, some rejoiced while others worried. Grand Advisor You Hua, who was affiliated with the Western Halberd Sect, quietly retreated into the crowd.

 

Spiritual Rupture Realm!

 

This was unbelievable.

 

In this region, those who could reach the Spiritual Rupture Realm throughout history could be counted on one’s fingers, and each one was called a supreme genius, remembered for eternity!

 

Generally speaking, within the Alchemy Manor, only the Manor Master could reach that height which they all looked up to.

 

That was why the Manor Master’s status was unrivalled.

 

What were they witnessing now?

 

A young man not even twenty years old, had reached the Spiritual Rupture Realm!

 

No wonder he could create so many miracles.

 

No wonder the Manor Master had disregarded all objections to grant him that spot at the Alchemy Manor Summit. Was there anyone in the entire Alchemy Manor more qualified than him to attend the Alchemy Manor Summit!?

 

*Hiss…* What they did not know was that at this moment, even the Manor Master could not help but draw in a sharp breath, his gaze filled with shock as he looked at Qin Yichen.

 

Before this, he could confirm that Qin Yichen definitely did not have Spiritual Rupture Realm cultivation.

 

In just a few short days, how could there be such a tremendous improvement? How had Qin Yichen crossed the chasm between Spiritual Flow and Spiritual Rupture?!

 

[Flaming Heart Fruit!] This was the only explanation the Manor Master could think of.

 

Therefore, it was highly likely that everything Qin Yichen had just said was true. He had refined the Flaming Heart Fruit into a Peak Fifth Grade Pill, then consumed it!

 

The Manor Master had used the Flaming Heart Fruit before. He knew first hand of the fruit’s intense medicinal properties. Even though he had only consumed the Medicinal Liquid Form of the Flaming Heart Fruit, that painful experience had made him understand why the Spirit Fruit was called the Flaming Heart Fruit.

 

And that was merely the Medicinal Liquid Form. If it were refined into a Pill, the medicinal properties would certainly be several times more terrifying!

 

No wonder Qin Yichen could break through to the Spiritual Rupture Realm!

 

However, on the Manor Master’s face, there was not the slightest trace of envy or jealousy. What there was, was deep shock and intense astonishment.

 

He could not imagine how Qin Yichen had accomplished this.

 

Without a doubt, Qin Yichen had done something that even he, the Manor Master, did not dare to attempt!
