On the boat sailing through the sea of clouds, Qin Xin sat cross-legged to one side, cultivating.
This trip to the iron ore mine was a huge success for Qin Xin. He not only obtained hundreds of high-grade spirit stones, but also received a promise from Feng Zi, the Grand Elder of the Tianxuan Sect.
Most importantly, Qin Xin saw Qin Haotian again, which made him realize that although his cultivation had improved rapidly, there was still a considerable gap between him and that person.
After finishing his cultivation, Qin Xin slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing that Ling Hanyan was still cultivating, he fell into deep thought for a moment.
Now that he has arrived in the Central Plains, Qin Xin's desire for revenge has become even stronger. However, with his current cultivation level of only the first level of the Yuanfu Realm, it is extremely difficult for him to shake the entire Qin Clan of the Central Plains.
To quickly improve his strength, Qin Xin could use his Spirit Devouring Stone to absorb the soul fragments of powerful demonic beasts, advancing his Martial Spirit to the next level and thus accelerating his cultivation. Alternatively, he could devour strange fire to further advance the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern.
Moreover, the ancient Heavenly Wind Egg within the Heavenly Phoenix Futon shows signs of hatching, and the energy within this strange fire is an excellent tonic for the egg.
Qin Xin, who was thinking about his future plans, sensed Danqing's voice slowly rising from the depths of his heart, "What's wrong, brat? Getting confused already?"
Although Danqing was in the space of the incomplete map, he was able to sense the change in Qin Xin's emotions thanks to the powerful sensing ability of the spirit.
Qin Xin responded to Danqing in his heart.
However, Danqing was not going to tolerate Qin Xin's behavior. Seeing Qin Xin's confusion, she couldn't help but mock him, "You're scared now that your enemy is stronger than you?"
"How could that be, teacher? What do you think a martial artist should pursue in their lifetime?"
Qin Xin was not afraid of Qin Haotian's strength, but suddenly, some inexplicable thoughts arose in his mind.
Danqing hadn't expected Qin Xin to ask such a question. After a moment of contemplation, a somewhat deep voice finally resonated in Qin Xin's mind, "Pursuit? I don't know either. I just want to become stronger so that I can protect those around me."
"Protect those around you." Upon hearing Danqing's words, Qin Xin was stunned, as if he had found his path to the future.
Qin Xin is a free spirit, and his constant self-improvement is often driven by his unwillingness to accept defeat and his unwavering determination.
He believed he could definitely crush Qin Haotian, but what would happen after that?
Now, on this unfamiliar continent, he still has family members he has never met. Their situation and whereabouts are still waiting for Qin Xin to explore.
At the same time, the spiritual energy in Qin Xin's Niwan Palace suddenly converged on the mysterious fragment of the map, and the figure that performed the "Sword Control Style" slowly emerged.
Unlike before, this time, the execution of the "Sword Control Style" left a deep impression on Qin Xin, as if he had completely unveiled the curtain before him after gaining enlightenment.
At this moment, Qin Xin had entered a very mysterious state.
Within the fragmented space, Danqing also sensed Qin Xin's change and quickly fell silent, not daring to disturb him in any way.
At this moment, Qin Xin and Ling Hanyan were completely silent aboard the cloud-shrouded boat.
After Ling Hanyan woke up from her cultivation, the Cloud Sea Boat was already close to the Tianxuan Sect.
However, when she turned to look at Qin Xin, her eyes first showed surprise, followed by envy.
"Sudden enlightenment!"
After whispering softly, Ling Hanyan quickly shielded the Cloud Sea Boat's aura, took out a spirit stone and injected it into the Cloud Sea Boat's operating center, causing the entire boat to float in the air and disappear into the clouds.
For martial artists, sudden enlightenment is extremely rare. Some martial artists can even break through multiple realms after a sudden enlightenment, and their future cultivation path will be smoother.
Thus, in order to prevent Qin Xin from being interrupted during his enlightenment, Ling Hanyan stayed by his side to protect him for a while.
Two days passed, and Ling Hanyan, who was waiting on the side, was also getting a little anxious.
Although enlightenment can bring many benefits to martial artists, many martial artists, due to their profound enlightenment, are unable to awaken from this state until their lives are exhausted.
Ling Hanyan, somewhat worried about Qin Xin's situation, paced back and forth on the cloud-sea boat.
For Ling Hanyan, Qin Xin was not only her junior brother from the same sect, but he had also saved her life, so she always felt grateful to him.
Moreover, although Ling Hanyan was a bit older than Qin Xin, she greatly admired Qin Xin, a righteous gentleman who was not swayed by beauty.
And if Qin Xin had any designs on her when she failed to refine a seventh-grade pill and was attacked by the pill's energy, she probably wouldn't exist in this world anymore.
Similarly, Ling Hanyan was also very curious about Qin Xin. She had been obsessed with refining pills for many years. Even she would have a considerable chance of failing with a sixth-grade pill like the Fuling Qingdan, but with Qin Xin's help, she was able to refine it perfectly.
Although Qin Xin claimed it was just a lucky guess, she didn't believe him.
During the few days that Ling Hanyan waited for Qin Xin to come to his senses from his epiphany, she also had a lot of thoughts running through her mind.
Even as night fell, Ling Hanyan could no longer wait. She worried that Qin Xin would become so engrossed in this sudden realization that he would never wake up again.
Ling Hanyan slowly walked to Qin Xin's side, trying to wake him up.
The moment he touched Qin Xin's body, a terrifying aura swept out.
Startled, Ling Hanyan retreated repeatedly, her eyes filled with terror. "What is this?!"
Little did anyone know, Danqing had been protecting Qin Xin all along, and now, at the most crucial moment of Qin Xin's enlightenment, he naturally couldn't let Ling Hanyan ruin it.
As Ling Hanyan attempted to awaken Qin Xin, she released a trace of her aura through her spiritual body, which repelled her.
Just as Ling Hanyan was preparing to try again.
Qin Xin's black eyes snapped open, and then the ancient Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword flew out from his fingertips, floating silently behind him.
As Qin Xin grabbed the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword with his right palm, the Azure Rock Fire on the sword suddenly surged up.
"Sword Control Style!"
With a soft shout, Qin Xin seemed to connect with the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword in his hand, as if constantly accumulating power and possessing a strong defensive capability.
Suddenly, Qin Xin's eyes sharpened, and the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword in his hand seemed to have completed its charging, and he thrust it forward fiercely.
Instantly, endless sword energy shot out in all directions, and Ling Hanyan quickly mobilized her inner energy to defend herself.
As the sword energy dissipated, the fluctuations in the surrounding space also gradually disappeared.
Ling Hanyan looked at Qin Xin with surprise in her eyes.
