Looking at the dissipating bone tower in front of him and the blazing bone fire floating in mid-air, Qin Xin felt a pang of sadness.

Even such a powerful figure can be swept away by the wind; perhaps this is the ultimate fate of martial artists.

After examining the painting within the mysterious fragment, it was discovered that although the spirit was extremely illusory, the soul imprint on the flame of life was still there. This indicated that the painting was not dead, but it was unknown when it would awaken.

After placing Danqing's spirit body under the large tree in the fragmented map space, Qin Xin noticed that the green energy was slowly flowing into Danqing's spirit body, and only then did he feel relieved.

"That's right!"

Qin Xin suddenly remembered that the old man from the Si Fire Sect had said that the Bone King was only able to be destroyed because of him.

However, after Qin Xin woke up, the Bone King disappeared without a trace. But because Qin Xin was unconscious at the time, he did not know how the Bone King was destroyed, and the Old Man of Si Huo did not explain, which made Qin Xin a little confused for a while.

Now that I think about it, I know it must have been because of the spirit-devouring stone.

Qin Xin hurriedly redirected his mental energy and discovered that the spiritual consciousness on the Spirit Devouring Stone was now much larger. Furthermore, a figure remarkably similar to him was sitting cross-legged on the Spirit Devouring Stone. It looked small, but the aura it exuded was so powerful that even Qin Xin himself felt a little uneasy.

"This is the Spirit Body Realm!"

Under Qin Xin's control, his spiritual sense enveloped his body. Qin Xin felt that his physical appearance could change with the control of his mind. He could even condense a long sword in the air with a thought.

However, this consumes an enormous amount of spiritual energy, but Qin Xin knows that the longsword condensed through spiritual energy is mainly capable of attacking the soul of a martial artist.

It is important to know that the soul is extremely important for martial artists. Once it is damaged, at best, one's cultivation will be halted, and at worst, one will become a walking corpse.

"Oh right! And Martial Spirit!"

After withdrawing his spiritual sense, Qin Xin immediately realized that his martial spirit had also undergone significant changes, which he had somewhat overlooked before.

After the Yuan Power was redirected, the Martial Spirit within the Yuan Mansion was instantly activated, and the vast spiritual power converged towards Qin Xin.

"Seven Star Martial Spirit!"

Qin Xin was somewhat surprised to sense the spiritual power contained within the Martial Spirit.

At the same time, the figure of the black-clad martial spirit slowly emerged behind Qin Xin. With the flow of azure and crimson spiritual energy, the voices of the fire phoenix and the azure dragon appeared on the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit pattern.

Furthermore, Qin Xin also discovered that his Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern had undergone some changes, seemingly related to the fusion of the dragon soul, making it appear more profound.

"Heavenly Phoenix Armor!" "Heavenly Phoenix Fire Wings!" Appear!

With Qin Xin's soft shout, the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern was activated, and cyan scales swirled around Qin Xin's body, while fiery wings like sharp blades appeared behind him.

"The defensive power of this Heavenly Phoenix Armor is probably twice that of the previous one."

"Moreover, the Heavenly Phoenix Fire Wings appear to be more solid and faster!"

Qin Xin was somewhat surprised, but after discovering the even more powerful Yuan energy within the Yuan Mansion, he could no longer hide the joy on his face.

"I didn't expect to have reached the eighth level of the Yuanfu Realm. Such speed is probably because the Devouring Spirit Stone devoured that Bone King!"

Qin Xin thought to himself that although he still experienced sharp pain between his bones from time to time, his strength had improved so much that it was all worth it.

The surrounding area hasn't been removed yet, so Qin Xin can't leave for the time being. As for Li Yuan and Zhou Lu, who had also entered here before, Qin Xin sent them out along with Wen Lan when he saw them off.

Now only Qin Xin remains here.

"First, adjust your state. Next, fuse the Flaming Bone Fire and the Azure Rock Fire into the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern."

After making his decision, Qin Xin sat cross-legged on the ground and used his spiritual sense to envelop the seed of the Fiery Bone Fire to prevent any other accidents from occurring.

~~~~~~

This is the entrance to the tomb of the Old Man of the Fire Snake.

As the array continued to rotate, the entrance passage was slowly closing. Wen Lan, Shui Qingxi, and Xia Yue looked at the passage with a hint of sadness in their eyes.

"The existence of the Bone Clan here is of great importance. We should return to our sect as soon as possible to report to the elders!"

Wen Lan also knew that besides the human race, there were many other races in the myriad worlds, and she had read about the Bone Race in some ancient books.

She also knew that Qin Xin was now possessed by the king of the Bone Clan, and it was almost impossible for him to survive.

To prevent the Bone Clan King from escaping from the tomb of the Old Man of the Fire, he hurriedly returned to the Spirit Beast Sect to inform the sect elders to handle the matter.

After learning about Qin Xin's situation, Shui Qingxi and Xia Yue both felt a pang of sadness. They were from the same Eastern Wilderness as Qin Xin and were close friends, so they naturally didn't want to hear such news.

But the path of a martial artist is inherently fraught with peril, and the ways of the world are unpredictable.

However, just as Wen Lan and the others appeared at the entrance of the tomb, Gongsun Li of the Xuantian Sword Sect walked over with a livid face.

In order to curry favor with the Second Elder of the Xuantian Sword Sect, he told Nangong Haoxuan about the tomb of the Old Man of Si Huo and even brought him to the Chiling Peak mountain range.

Now that Nangong Haoxuan has entered this place but has disappeared, Gongsun Li is naturally also to blame. Moreover, Hu Zhe's identity is also special; his cousin is Gu Beichen, the sixth sword disciple of the Xuantian Sword Sect.

However, upon learning that the Bone Clan existed in the tomb of the Old Man of the Fire, Gongsun Li, whose face was originally ashen, was now filled with terror.

They rushed directly towards the Xuantian Sword Sect, wanting to inform the sect as soon as possible.

In no time, news of the Bone Clan appearing in the tomb of the Old Man of Si Huo spread throughout the entire Central Continent, and even some forces outside the Yunxi Domain came to investigate the tomb of the Old Man of Si Huo.

Due to the formation within the tomb of the Old Man of the Fire, martial artists above the Void Core Realm cannot enter. If a powerful martial artist were to enter, the formation would inevitably collapse, allowing some members of the Bone Clan to escape. This would cause enormous trouble and could even lead to the entire Tianxuan Continent falling into the hands of the Bone Clan.

To prevent such a thing from happening, the major sects also sent some of their stronger Void Core Realm disciples to form suicide squads to enter the tomb and investigate.

After discovering that the area was blocked, they all withdrew.

Through their investigation of the tomb, the major sects also learned why the Old Man of the Fire of the Si Fire chose to settle in the Red Ridge Peak Mountains.

The formation set up by the Old Man of the Fire was intended to gradually erode the Bone Clan over time. Therefore, to avoid unnecessary casualties, he did not continue to break through that domain.

They simply joined forces to set up another array outside the tomb, sealing off the entire Crimson Ridge Mountain Range and establishing it as a forbidden area to prevent any martial artist from entering.
