Chapter 941, Flames Like Phoenix

Translator: Silavin

 

“Sacred Master, are there any other great places like this one?”

 

While flying towards his residential peak, Qin Yichen blinked at Yu Qianqiu, eyes burning with intensity. In these short four months, his Supreme Tyrant Body had reached the Partially Accomplished Stage, his cultivation had broken through to Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm, the Divine Indestructible Soul Art had also reached the Partially Accomplished Stage, and his Spiritual Energy had broken through to the Heaven Grade.

 

No wonder Qin Yichen was so excited. A few more such locations, how could his cultivation fail to advance by leaps and bounds?

 

Hearing this, Brilliant Sky Sacred Master Yu Qianqiu’s form stumbled. His gaze scraped across Qin Yichen as if saying, ‘Do you think such places are common like peaches?’

 

One was blood from a Nine Darkness Clan Saint, renowned for their Physique. The other was the Illusion Demon Clan’s unique medicine. Either item represented countless sacrifices from the Ancestors of Brilliant Sky Sacred Land.

 

Now, not only had half that pool of blood been refined, but the Nine Illusions Life Extinguishing Flower had been completely absorbed by this young man.

 

However wealthy Brilliant Sky Sacred Land might be, it could not withstand Qin Yichen’s consumption! After all, such resources could not be collected within the Sacred Lands!

 

“Look at you being so petty. *Haaa…*” Watching Yu Qianqiu’s expression, Qin Yichen could not help shaking his head and sighing, appearing thoroughly neglected.

 

“There aren’t any. Now scram!” Hearing this, Yu Qianqiu’s face darkened. A kick landed precisely on his backside, sending Qin Yichen flailing towards his peak.

 

“Hey! I’m a Sacred Master Candidate! Worst case, I’ll find some more for you later!” In mid-air, Qin Yichen’s protesting voice directly caused Yu Qianqiu, who was about to depart, to stumble again.

 

[Find more? This bastard, do you even know what those are?]

 

Still, heartache aside, Yu Qianqiu felt more joy and anticipation.

 

The finest resources existed to nurture Successors, didn’t they? Both items were beyond ordinary people’s tolerance. Particularly the Nine Illusions Life Extinguishing Flower. Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s Ancestors never expected anyone could use it.

 

“Still, this young man…” Watching Qin Yichen’s departing figure, Yu Qianqiu’s lips curved into a faint smile.

 

Whether talent in Martial Arts or Spiritual Energy, or personal character… he could find no flaws.

 

And then he realised: the Sacred Land could not keep Qin Yichen.

 

However far Qin Yichen might walk in future, he emerged from Brilliant Sky Sacred Land!

 

Yu Qianqiu firmly believed Qin Yichen was not someone who forgot his roots.

 

Now, his task was granting Qin Yichen maximum sense of belonging.

 

As for the Heaven Stairway…

 

Yu Qianqiu had done everything possible. How far Qin Yichen could progress depended entirely on himself.

 

Whether he would astonish the world or return in defeat remained unpredictable.

 

“In a few days, time to send him off.”

 

From Brilliant Sky Sacred Land to Saints Heavenly Manor required going past a few Sacred Lands. Even with Transportation Arrays, the journey would likely take over a month.

 

Currently, only two months remain until the Heaven Stairway starts. Departing early to familiarise himself there would be ideal.

 

That place would certainly gather formidable experts.

 

Figures like Ling Tuyai, like Chen Feng… such renowned young generation powerhouses of this region would not stand out excessively there. After all, each Heaven Stairway gathering assembled all of Humanity’s young geniuses. There, talents could fully display themselves.

 

Yu Qianqiu had attended once in his youth.

 

Back then, young and arrogant, spirited and ambitious, brimming with confidence; yet there, he had suffered his life’s greatest defeat.

 

He had expected to shine brilliantly. Instead, he realised he was only mediocre.

 

At Heaven Stairway, everyone believed themselves exceptional, different from others. Yet then, he could not even ascend the tenth step.

 

Initially defiant, seeing some with lower cultivation had climbed several steps higher. But now, facts proved those who had climbed higher than him achieved greater things.

 

One might say the Heaven Stairway examined one’s talent.

 

At Heaven Stairway, none could falsify anything. Everything depended on an individual’s talent.

 

…

 

Qin Yichen returned to his residence.

 

The moment he approached the courtyard, scorching heat that stung his skin assaulted him.

 

*Ciiiii… *

 

Feeling the stinging sensation, Qin Yichen inhaled sharply.

 

His Supreme Tyrant Body had reached the Partially Accomplished Stage. Regarding Physique, he absolutely surpassed ordinary Martial Ancestors.

 

Meaning merely through his Physique, he could resist Martial Ancestors. Yet now, the heat waves were burning him, demonstrating how extraordinary this heat was.

 

[It’s Qianxue.] Qin Yichen’s heart stirred.

 

During his seclusion, Feng Qianxue had consumed the Pill he had refined and likewise entered seclusion. That Pill was refined from a Seven Sacred Fire Lingzi. For those with a Fire Attribute Martial Soul like Feng Qianxue, it was akin to a Medicine Saint in terms of Grade!

 

Through the heat waves’ layers, Qin Yichen gazed into the small courtyard.

 

The entire courtyard had vanished. In its place: a mass of flames, from which this heart-trembling temperature emanated.

 

Divine light ignited in Qin Yichen’s pupils as he observed the flames.

 

Flames swirled like Phoenixes dancing, burning space until visible ripples emerged.

 

Within those flames, vaguely, he discerned a graceful silhouette.

 

It was Feng Qianxue!

 

Seeing her unharmed, Qin Yichen relaxed, divine light fading from his eyes.

 

“You’ve returned.” An aged voice sounded behind him. Turning, he saw a familiar figure.

 

It was Elder Hua.

 

“Thank you for your care, Elder Hua.” Qin Yichen cupped his fists in gratitude.

 

Feng Qianxue’s seclusion here must have created considerable disturbance. The fact that no one came to disturb her was likely Elder Hua’s doing.

 

“You…” Elder Hua was about to speak, but his gaze, landing on Qin Yichen, immediately sharpened. “Good. I can’t see through you now.”

 

*Heh heh.* Qin Yichen smiled with no small satisfaction to those words.

 

His Spiritual Energy had broken through to the Heaven Grade. Though in terms of quantity he remained at the Early Stage Heaven Grade, in terms of quality, even Peak Heaven Grade Alchemists could not hope to compare to him.

 

Naturally Elder Hua could not see through him.

 

“Seems like you truly intend to attempt to climb the Heaven Stairway.” Elder Hua spoke with some wistfulness.

 

He had to admit: when Qin Yichen entered the Sacred Land, he had misjudged him. Only after Qin Yichen displayed his talent did this Elder notice this youth.
