The standoff between the Tianxuan Sect and the Xuantian Sword Sect lasted for a long time.
Qin Xin couldn't find an opportunity for a while, so he prepared to leave.
However, some disciples of the Tianxuan Sect suddenly began to leave, seemingly aware that if the standoff continued, the surrounding Heavenly Spirit Crystals would eventually be taken by disciples of the Ziwei Sect and the other two sects, resulting in a significant loss.
The Xuan Tian Sword Sect was also aware of this outcome.
After the auras of several Xuan Tian Sword Sect disciples disappeared, Qin Xin seized the opportunity to directly mobilize the spiritual sense in his sea of consciousness.
As his spiritual sense was focused on his face, Qin Xin's aura changed instantly. He then took out a white robe from his spatial ring, the same one worn by the departing Xuan Tian Sword Sect disciple.
With his disguise, even a martial artist at the Non-Aspect Realm would likely be unable to discern Qin Xin's true identity.
After confirming that the Xuan Tian Sword Sect disciples had disappeared, Qin Xin deliberately lurked in the direction they had disappeared in, and then walked towards the Xuan Tian Sword Sect disciples' ranks.
"Hey, Little Li, didn't Senior Brother Gu send you to find the Heavenly Spirit Crystal? Why are you back again?"
Several disciples of the Xuantian Sword Sect were puzzled by Qin Xin's arrival, so they stepped forward to ask him some questions.
"Ahem." Qin Xin coughed twice, then deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I fought with the people who took over the Tianxuan Sect earlier, and my internal organs were injured. I may need to rest for a while."
After hearing Qin Xin's explanation, the two Xuan Tian Sword Sect disciples beside him had no doubts and spoke directly.
"Little Li, focus on healing your injuries first. We'll explain things to Senior Brother Gu later."
The disciples of the Xuantian Sword Sect were quite enthusiastic, almost moving Qin Xin to tears.
Qin Xin was pleased to have successfully infiltrated the Xuan Tian Sword Sect without being discovered by anyone.
While everyone was recovering, Qin Xin also walked towards the entrance of the lava passage.
Because he had already disguised himself and his aura had changed, Qin Xin moved among the disciples of the Xuan Tian Sword Sect without anyone noticing anything amiss.
As Qin Xin approached the location of the magma passage, he seemed to be summoned. If he hadn't been forcibly suppressing it, his soul would have been directly taken away.
"Never mind, let's go in and take a look."
As Qin Xin approached the cave entrance, he discovered that Gu Beichen was sitting cross-legged on the ground. The aura around him was stronger than when he had seen Gu Beichen before. It seemed that the presence of the Heavenly Spirit Crystal here helped with cultivation, which made Gu Beichen stronger.
Taking advantage of the moment when the guards were not paying attention, Qin Xin immediately leaped up and rushed directly into the lava passage.
"What!"
After Qin Xin suddenly rushed in, all the Xuan Tian Sword Sect members who were originally guarding both sides of the entrance to the Cidao Pass were dumbfounded. They did not expect that there would be such a reckless disciple in the sect.
After noticing someone rushing into the passage, Gu Beichen glanced at the passage with some confusion, but Qin Xin's figure had already disappeared.
In an instant, the people from the Xuantian Sword Sect and the Tianxuan Sect, who were originally in a standoff, began to clash, and the Tianxuan Sect also expressed its dissatisfaction with the Xuantian Sword Sect's arrangement of its disciples to enter.
Tensions immediately rose between the two sides. If either of them made the first move, the two men would fight to the death.
Qin Xin, as the person involved, was naturally unaware of these changes.
After successfully entering the passage, Qin Xin immediately withdrew his disguised spiritual sense. In order to disguise himself and conceal his aura, this had a huge drain on Qin Xin's spiritual sense.
Maintaining this state for an extended period caused his spiritual energy to be depleted rapidly, which made Qin Xin feel dizzy for a while.
Fortunately, he had now condensed a spiritual body, and the dizziness quickly disappeared. Furthermore, under the natural operation of the Supreme Divine Evolution Technique, the spiritual consciousness he had previously consumed was slowly recovering.
Qin Xin carefully examined the surrounding environment and discovered that there was also a lava stream here, and the radius of this stream was much larger than that of the lava stream where he had previously found two fist-sized Heavenly Spirit Crystals.
Seeing the traces of longswords stirring around him, Qin Xin knew that someone had been here before.
With the help of the Blue Rock Bone Fire Seed, Qin Xin was completely immune to the intense heat of the magma here, and his journey was very smooth.
Qin Xin was somewhat disappointed to find several deep pits on the basic stone wall surrounding the lava stream, because he could sense some residual aura of Heavenly Spirit Crystals from these pits, but they had all been taken away.
"It seems that among the Xuantian Sect disciples who entered here before, there were quite a few with extremely strong perception."
Qin Xin was also somewhat embarrassed, because he had used his spiritual sense to explore the surrounding area and found that all the Heavenly Spirit Crystals around had been taken away, leaving only some traces.
Looking at the signs of destruction around him, Qin Xin deduced that it wasn't just the Xuan Tian Sword Sect members who had entered this magma passage; it seemed that people from other sects were also present.
Because these people used very different martial arts techniques, the marks they left when breaking through the surrounding rock layers were also very different.
Following the sensation from the Spirit Devouring Stone, Qin Xin quietly and slowly made his way deeper into the magma passage.
The deeper Qin Xin went, the more pits he found around him, but the fewer of them contained any remnants of spiritual energy.
It seems that the deeper you go, the fewer Heavenly Spirit Crystals you will find.
With a sense of doubt, Qin Xin followed the magma passage forward.
Along the way, thanks to luck, Qin Xin managed to pick up two Heavenly Spirit Crystals, but they were both taken by Xiao Feng, who was in the futon space.
Having already obtained the fist-sized Heavenly Spirit Crystal, Xiao Feng couldn't wait any longer. After collecting two more around the magma passage, Xiao Feng began to flap its wings in the futon space, as if it would come out and find its own if it wasn't given any more.
Qin Xin had no choice but to compromise and put the two Heavenly Spirit Crystals he had just obtained into his futon space. Only then did Xiao Feng quiet down and stop attacking.
