Chapter 940, Harvest

Translator: Silavin

 

The vast Spiritual Energy that had shot straight into the sky continued for quite some time before gradually receding.

 

This corner of the world finally returned to tranquillity, yet countless Disciples of Brilliant Sky Sacred Land remained in that state of astonishment.

 

Within the pitch-black cave, rays of sunlight poured through the cracked fissures. Qin Yichen’s body, which had been seated cross-legged for three months, trembled slightly as his eyes slowly opened at last.

 

In his pupils dwelt an extremely indifferent expression. Clearly, he had not yet fully returned from that endless illusion to the real world.

 

This condition persisted for most of the day before he finally exhaled a long breath, his face gradually recovering a semblance of normal colour.

 

*Crash!*

 

As he regained himself, the Nine Illusions Life Extinguishing Flower in the cave transformed into a pile of ashes and fell. That intoxicating fragrance completely vanished without a trace.

 

“Truly worthy of being the Nine Illusions Life Extinguishing Flower. No wonder the Illusion Demon Clan could become one of the Races with the most powerful Spiritual Energy. However, if only it had not withered so quickly.”

 

Qin Yichen glanced at the unremarkable pile of ashes with lingering fear, murmuring to himself.

 

Yet he remained utterly unaware that even amongst those from the Illusion Demon Clan, those who dared enter the Nine Illusions Life Extinguishing Flower’s trial were the Clan’s most exceptional elites.

 

More importantly, even members of the Illusion Demon Clan would never be as reckless as Qin Yichen in entering it, using their Spiritual Body to withstand the torment that no ordinary person could endure.

 

Each time Illusion Demon Clan members entered the Nine Illusions Life Extinguishing Flower’s illusion, they did so in their ancestral sanctuaries, where their Spiritual Bodies received terrifying enhancement. This meant they faced no mortal danger whatsoever. There were sensitive individuals who could not withstand the pain despite this, which had already been reduced several-fold, and still fell unconscious. Yet, they would suffer no consequences!

 

Who would be like Qin Yichen, alone, without even the slightest support, rashly entering it?

 

If members of the Illusion Demon Clan learned of Qin Yichen’s experience, who could know what sensation it would cause? This was truly the fearlessness of ignorance!

 

Had he known the danger involved, he probably would not have dared enter so recklessly, and naturally would not have achieved this bitter-turned-sweet accomplishment.

 

“Time to leave…” Qin Yichen stretched his body, muttering to himself before rising and following the sunlight’s passage towards the cave exit.

 

The moment he emerged, Yu Qianqiu appeared before him, expression complex.

 

His eyes examined Qin Yichen as one might observe a monster. Though merely three months had passed, and the latter’s appearance had not changed significantly, somehow, from Qin Yichen’s deep pupils, he sensed something different. It was as though the young man had suddenly aged considerably.

 

As if this young man had not secluded himself for three months, but had endured decades.

 

“How much time has passed outside?” Upon emerging, Qin Yichen’s first question concerned time. Within the Nine Illusions Life Extinguishing Flower’s illusion, he had lost all conception of it.

 

“Exactly three months.” Yu Qianqiu’s gaze swept over Qin Yichen as he answered casually.

 

“Only three months?” Hearing this, surprise flashed through Qin Yichen’s eyes, his expression rather complex.

 

Who could imagine that during those three months in the outside world, he had endured over ten years of brutal tempering?

 

“Young man, it seems like you’ve gained a lot.” Yu Qianqiu smiled. He had clearly sensed the vast Spiritual Energy that had emanated from Qin Yichen’s body earlier. Even Dan Xuan’s could not hope to compare.

 

This was not a matter of quantity, but rather the fundamental difference in the essence of their Spiritual Energy!

 

“After being tormented so long, wouldn’t it be unreasonable that I haven’t gained something?” Qin Yichen smiled bitterly, cursing inwardly.

 

Day after day, he had endured lightning strikes, being torn apart by the wind, being beaten senseless by the rain, burnt under the scorching Sun and so much more for a full ten years!

 

This would have driven anyone to collapse!

 

Had Qin Yichen not possessed the Universal Compassion Salvation Buddhist Scripture, he too could not have persevered through.

 

“Sacred Master, has something happened?”

 

Somehow, Qin Yichen felt Yu Qianqiu was avoiding something. His heart tightened as he asked.

 

“Nothing. I’ll take you back.” Yu Qianqiu turned away, not daring to meet his gaze, fearing he might discern something.

 

However, this very action deepened Qin Yichen’s unease. Suddenly thinking of Li Yuanba. “Sacred Master, has news arrived from the Ancient Heaven Ascension Tomb?”

 

His confidence in sending Li Yuanba to Ancient Heaven Ascension Tomb stemmed from knowing only eight people could enter, all at the Martial Emperor Realm. Logically, Li Yuanba should not face any danger. Still, exceptions existed in all matters.

 

“An incident occurred, but for the specific details, we must wait for those inside to emerge.” Yu Qianqiu knew hiding this was futile. Sighing inwardly, he spoke.

 

“Radiance Sacred Land again?” A cold gleam flashed through Qin Yichen’s eyes.

 

Simultaneously, however, he felt relieved.

 

If Radiance Sacred Land’s experts had survived by chance, why couldn’t Li Yuanba?

 

Li Yuanba’s Physique was formidable, and most critically, his Momentum had reached the Partially Accomplished Stage.

 

“Then, we’ll wait until he emerges.” Qin Yichen smiled faintly.

 

Hearing this, Yu Qianqiu was startled. Originally, he was worried this young man might rush off recklessly upon hearing such news. Now, it seemed he was not as impulsive as he had imagined.

 

“Sacred Master, rest assured. With Li Yuanba’s strength, keeping himself alive shouldn’t be problematic.” Qin Yichen smiled. The Unstoppable Barbarian of his previous life, wielding the Overlord Hammer, had dominated the Saint Realm with few rivals. In this life, needing no laborious research, he had already mastered the three Overlord Hammer techniques. Combined with his terrifying brute strength, which even made Qin Yichen’s heart tremble, and the Overlord Hammer’s effects, likely none amongst Martial Emperor Realm could withstand a single exchange!

 

“Oh…” Yu Qianqiu’s eyes narrowed slightly. Evidently, Qin Yichen’s confidence in Li Yuanba was high.

 

“But, I hope Sacred Master can guard against the other Sacred Lands’ machinations after Ancient Heaven Ascension Tomb concludes.”After a pause, Qin Yichen added.

 

“Don’t worry. I’ve already secretly sent Hall Master Xu. As long as Li Yuanba and Mu Yanzhen emerge, even if several Sacred Lands interfere, he can bring them back safely.”

 

The Brilliant Sky Sacred Master smiled faintly.

 

Though, speaking frankly, since Qin Yichen arrived at the Sacred Land, this Northern Brilliant Hall Master seemed never to have any rest. Running errands to receive Qin Yichen, then running errands to receive Li Yuanba…
