I Have a Soul-Swallowing Stone

Qin Xin, a young man from the Qin Clan, had his martial bones stolen by his own clansmen. However, he accidentally acquired a Soul-Swallowing Stone and obtained the Supreme Divine Soul Art, embarki...

Chapter 554 Kun Sect Main Peak, Black Patterns

The demise of the Xia royal family did not cause much of a stir.

Just like a normal change of dynasty, it was only discussed among martial artists for a few days before disappearing from public view, and no one mentioned it again.

Qin Xin led the Qin clan back to Tianyuan City and did not participate in what followed.

However, Qin Xin had also heard some things about the former king of the Great Xia Dynasty, who was found on the eighth floor of the royal dungeon.

When he was discovered, his vital energy seemed to have been completely drained.

Shui Sheng and the others never expected that Xia Qi would be so heartless as to kill his own father.

It is precisely because of this that Zhennan Prefecture now has the opportunity to replace the Great Xia royal family and become the new leader of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Of course, the families that had previously aligned themselves with Xia Qi also faced some sanctions, and the Celestial Masters Sect, which had originally wanted to help Xia Qi, immediately fell silent after Qin Lang's defeat and escape.

Now, everything in the Great Xia Dynasty has returned to calm.

Shui Sheng wanted to invite the Qin clan into the capital, but Qin Xin refused.

The Qin clan is currently quite weak, and many people agreed to let them move into the capital because of Qin Xin's talent and strength.

After all, a sixth-grade high-level alchemist can support a force in any part of the Yunxi Domain.

But the Qin clan knew that he wouldn't be able to stay in the Eastern Wilderness for long, let alone find Qin Haotian and reclaim his lost martial bones.

Perhaps in the future he will leave this world and go to a more expansive place to explore the ruins of the immortal palace, the mysterious fragment on his body, and the secrets behind the spirit-devouring stone.

Therefore, Qin Xin wanted the Qin clan of Tianyuan City to develop on their own. Only a family that had risen step by step from the bottom could stand firm in this world of martial arts filled with bloodshed.

After this matter is settled, Sanjie, Shishan, and their friends need to return to the Eastern Wilderness Academy. They are now of age and will soon have to leave the academy.

As for where they plan to go next, they haven't decided yet.

As an honorary elder in the Dan Academy on Tuocang Mountain in Zhongzhou, Qin Xin naturally had the authority to bring people in and provide them with excellent cultivation resources.

However, his own situation in Zhongzhou was not safe, and if he brought them in, he feared that his death would implicate them.

After a brief gathering, Shishan and Sanjie returned to the inner courtyard of the Eastern Wilderness Academy to continue their cultivation. Since they still had one or two years before leaving the academy, they were not in a hurry.

As for Jin Yuanbao and the other two, since they had always been in the outer courtyard of the Eastern Wilderness Academy, they had few cultivation resources and therefore did not plan to go back. Instead, they planned to settle down in Tianyuan City.

Qin Xin naturally arranged for them to enter the Qin Clan Manor. With their cultivation levels, it would be no problem for them to help the Qin Clan of Tianyuan City teach some of their younger disciples.

Of course, during his stay in Tianyuan City, Qin Xin also taught some of the more talented or promising young disciples in his clan who had the potential to become alchemists, and left behind all his alchemy insights.

In this way, some foundation was laid for the future development of the Tianyuan Qin clan.

Because some of his martial arts skills could not be passed on to outsiders, and because the Heaven-rank martial art Flowing Cloud Step given to Qin Xin by Danqing was too precious, keeping it would bring some trouble to the Qin Clan of Tianyuan City. Therefore, Qin Xin did not keep it.

After arranging everything, Qin Xin also planned to make a trip to the Eastern Wilderness Academy.

Qin Xin had been very curious about the black patterns that had appeared on the main peak of the Kunmen Sect. Now that his cultivation had improved considerably, he thought that this trip would allow him to find out what secret place was on that peak.

And why did the previous sect leader of Kunmen seal off this main peak?

Why did the Vulcan Stone appear on this main peak?

These secrets still need to be uncovered by Qin Xin, one by one.

Before heading to the Eastern Wilderness Academy, Qin Xin also visited the residence of his third grandfather, Qin Lin.

Upon hearing that Qin Xin had returned to the Eastern Wilderness Academy to investigate the main peak of the Kunmen Sect, Qin Qianfan's expression turned somewhat grim, as if he were quite wary of that place.

"Qin Xin, the things on the main peak of the Kun Sect are extremely strange!"

"Back then, I also tried to figure out what those black lines were."

"However, he suddenly suffered a strong backlash. If it weren't for the help of the remnant consciousness left by the former sect leader on this main peak, he would have perished long ago."

"Even so, I suffered severe internal injuries."

"I suspect that something is being suppressed beneath the main peak of the Kunmen sect, and that thing is extremely strange, able to easily bypass the protection of Yuan energy and directly impact the physical body of a martial artist."

Qin Qianfan also told Qin Xin about some of his past experiences at the Eastern Wilderness Academy.

If it weren't for the discovery of this matter, Qin Qianfan wouldn't have left the Eastern Wilderness Academy and returned to Tianyuan City to lie low for decades.

Although the internal injuries have been almost completely healed thanks to the elixirs given to him by Qin Xin, his cultivation speed has stagnated, making it very difficult for him to achieve great things in the future.

After hearing Qin Qianfan's words, Qin Xin was even more eager to go and see for himself.

For him, everything he has now is thanks to the mysterious Spirit Devouring Stone in his sea of ​​consciousness, and the presence of the Fire God Crystal on the main peak of the Kun Sect must be related to the Spirit Devouring Stone.

Therefore, the things inside the main peak of Kunmen must also be related to the spirit-devouring stone in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Going to investigate would give Qin Xin the opportunity to understand why the Spirit Devouring Stone appeared in the world, and why he was brought to this strange world by the Spirit Devouring Stone.

Seeing that Qin Xin had already decided to go, Qin Qianfan did not stop him, after all, Qin Xin was now much stronger than he was back then.

Perhaps there are some opportunities within the main peak of the Kunmen sect.

After Qin Xin used his own Yuan Power to help Qin Lin clear some of his meridians, he left Tianyuan City with peace of mind once Qin Lin was able to circulate his Yuan Power.

On the day of departure, Jin Yuanbao wanted to go with them, but Shangguan Lingyan glared at him and stopped him.

This scene drew laughter from those around them. Qin Xin patted him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear about the palace that had appeared in the Yan Dynasty, which piqued Jin Yuanbao's interest.

After Qin Xin goes to the Eastern Wilderness Academy, he will definitely have to visit the Yan Dynasty. With Jin Yuanbao as his guide, this trip will be much less troublesome.

Moreover, it's time to resolve the feud between the Jin clan and Jin Yuanbao within the Yan Dynasty.

And so, no one knew what Qin Xin had said, but Jin Yuanbao, with tears in his eyes, watched Qin Xue head off to the Eastern Wilderness Academy.

"Boss! Knowing you in this life has been worth it."

Qin Xin, who was walking, was startled by Jin Yuanbao's sudden shout and stopped in his tracks.

A sudden sense of impending doom made Qin Xin pull Qin Xue along, quickening their pace to leave.
