Sky Peak.
Cave.
"Open all the Meridians in your body, draw in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, and channel it into the Dantian. This is how you open the Purple Sea of Qi. This is the Qi Control Realm."
The Martial God Senior stood before Qin Tian.
Qin Tian listened quietly to the words from the Martial God Senior.
"Opening the Purple Sea of Qi, shouldn't that be called the Purple Mansion Realm, or the Qi Sea Realm? Why is it called the Qi Control Realm?"
A bit surprised, Qin Tian asked.
"Well..."
The Martial God Senior hesitated, finally shooting a glare at Qin Tian.
"This is a name unified by countless Cultivation World Ancestors. You ask me why, and I ask who?"
Feeling quite awkward, the Martial God Senior immediately sat down on the ground.
"One more thing, after entering the Qi Control Realm, one can control the soul. This is also the biggest difference between the Qi Control Realm and the Channeling Realm. Even a person who has achieved Transcendence of Meridian Realm Completion, having opened all one hundred and eight Meridians, is still worlds apart from a practitioner of the Qi Control Realm.
The main reason lies in the fact that practitioners of the Qi Control Realm can utilize Soul Attack. In an invisible manner, they can slay their opponents. The soul is the most important aspect of a person and also the most vulnerable for practitioners. Unlike the physical body, which can be directly cultivated, once severely injured, one may become a walking corpse at best or never enter Reincarnation at worst, becoming a wandering spirit!"
After hearing the words of the Martial God Senior,
Qin Tian immediately thought of the last challenge in the Nine Dragons Hall.
The final statue had spoken to him.
Cultivation is like crossing a sea.
Flesh is the ship, and the soul is the person within the ship.
The essence of cultivation is to continuously strengthen the level of life.
"Could it be that my soul has been enhanced in Nine Dragons Hall?"
Qin Tian was utterly astonished.
If that were indeed the case, he would truly have to express his gratitude to Nine Dragons Hall.
However, whether his soul had truly been enhanced could only be determined after he stepped into the Channeling Realm.
There was no rush!
"Alright. This artifact can only be used after reaching the Qi Control Realm. You need to focus on your cultivation and strive to enter the Qi Control Realm before the Nine-Man Battle begins."
After Martial God Senior finished speaking, he entered Qin Tian's right eye.
"By the way, what is the current situation with Thunderous Roar?"
Since Qin Tian had exited Nine Dragons Hall, he hadn't paid any attention to Thunderous Roar within his right eye.
Now that everything was settled, he suddenly remembered.
"Still in slumber. It seems we will have to wait a while longer."
With that, Martial God Senior also fell into a deep sleep.
...
...
In the middle of the night.
Mei Mei had just taken another bath.
She changed into a clean white robe.
Qin Tian stepped out of the Cave and walked toward Gong Xueyi's Cave.
It was the middle of the night.
They had arranged to meet.
Just thinking about it made him a bit excited!
Actually, it felt a bit early, didn't it?
He wasn't quite mentally prepared yet!
Qin Tian's face showed no expression, but inside, he felt like a storm was brewing.
It was hard to stay calm.
He walked all the way to the entrance of Gong Xueyi's Cave before finally stopping.
"Come in!"
Gong Xueyi had already sensed Qin Tian's arrival.
"Okay!"
Qin Tian suppressed his excitement and gently pushed open the door to the Cave.
You wouldn't believe it.
As he pushed open the door, a fragrant aroma wafted towards him.
It was truly worlds apart from his own Cave.
That was to be expected.
How could a girl's Cave possibly be as messy as his?
He walked through the corridor.
Qin Tian arrived at the main hall of the Cave.
In the center, a Square Cauldron sat quietly.
The delightful scent emanated from there.
Cough, cough.
He thought it was body fragrance at first.
Qin Tian felt foolish for his own thoughts.
Whose body fragrance could be smelled from dozens of yards away?
Unless it was the aroma of roasted chicken or duck.
"Please, have a seat!"
Gong Xueyi had no idea what Qin Tian was thinking.
"Alright."
Qin Tian forcibly suppressed the fluttering in his heart and found a spot to sit cross-legged.
Two people.
They were more than ten feet apart.
"Three years, and you are the first man to enter my Cave."
Gong Xueyi lifted her head, a faint smile flashing across her cold, beautiful face.
You wouldn't believe it.
The ice queen, Gong Xueyi, rarely smiled, but when she did, it was truly captivating.
"I should be considered a youth."
Qin Tian raised his head and smiled playfully.
"You mean you don't acknowledge yourself as a man?"
Gong Xueyi's demeanor shifted from her usual self.
Surprisingly, she began to tease.
"Just kidding, just kidding."
Qin Tian waved his hand dismissively.
Gong Xueyi sighed, not laughing.
"Sister Gong, what about you?"
Qin Tian noticed that today’s Gong Xueyi seemed different from usual.
He also recalled the last words Wu Qingyuan had said to him earlier that day.
"Don't let me down!"
He suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
"Am I beautiful?"
Gong Xueyi did not answer Qin Tian's question. Instead, she lifted her head, and under the soft candlelight, a stunningly beautiful face appeared before Qin Tian's eyes.
She became a brilliant sight in the cave at that moment.
"Beautiful."
Qin Tian spoke frankly.
"Are you serious about what you said before?"
Gong Xueyi asked again.
"Absolutely!"
Qin Tian replied firmly.
"Do you remember what I told you before?"
Gong Xueyi gazed intently at Qin Tian.
In her beautiful eyes, a dazzling sparkle flickered.
"Just catching up to you is still far from enough."
Qin Tian took a deep breath and said slowly.
"That's not the one."
"Looking out at the world, we are but ants."
"Not really."
"Don't let it disappoint you?"
"That's not it either."
Then, silence enveloped them.
A hint of gloom flickered in Gong Xueyi's eyes.
As expected.
He hadn't taken that statement to heart.
It couldn't be blamed on him; how many men are that attentive?
Remembering every single word?
Just as Gong Xueyi was about to speak,
unexpectedly,
Qin Tian suddenly stood up.
"Are you leaving?"
Those five short words seemed to drain all the strength from Qin Tian's body.
He appeared like a walking corpse.
Gong Xueyi lifted her head, looking at Qin Tian with a hint of surprise.
He had truly taken every word she said to heart.
Perhaps, in his eyes, she really was important!
"Yes."
After a long silence, Gong Xueyi spoke up.
"You told me before that in the Nine-Man Battle, my opponents would be the other seven. At that time, I thought you had a different method to directly enter the Ancient Immortal Path. I never expected that you wouldn't participate in the Nine-Man Battle at all!"
Qin Tian sat down heavily on the ground.
He felt utterly drained.
He had worked so hard, rising from being a nobody as an Outer Sect Disciple to becoming the top of the Inner Sect.
He had paid such a high price for this.
One reason was for his parents, for Homeland Revenge.
The other was to impress Gong Xueyi.
Homeland Revenge was still far from enough.
Now, Gong Xueyi was leaving as well.
Qin Tian felt like a marionette whose most vital string had just been cut.
In an instant, everything crumbled.
Disappointment washed over him.
During his three years at the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, he had only a handful of close friends.
Shen Tianming.
Ling Miaoyi.
Gao Jian.
And the one who had always admired him, Gong Xueyi.
With so few close friends, losing one felt like a significant blow.
Thus, Qin Tian felt deeply disheartened.
Gong Xueyi clearly noticed Qin Tian's emotions.
She smiled gently.
"I will wait for you in the Central Continent."
Upon hearing those words, Qin Tian looked up in astonishment, gazing at the breathtakingly beautiful Gong Xueyi under the candlelight.
She was going to wait for him in the Central Continent?
He couldn't believe his ears.
Qin Tian took a deep breath and smiled self-deprecatingly. "I've always wanted to ask you one question. Why? When everyone else looks down on me, you value me!"
This question had weighed heavily on Qin Tian's mind for a long time.
He had never found an answer.
He couldn't believe that it was his mere presence that had suddenly captivated this lofty Heavenly Pride woman.
Please.
This wasn't a fairy tale.
"Do you really want to know?"
Gong Xueyi's lips curled into a faint smile.
In an instant, she dazzled the entire Cave.
Qin Tian nodded lightly.
"Because your resilience surpasses that of anyone else I have seen among your peers."
Gong Xueyi stood up, her thin white gauze dress fluttering in the wind.
The perfect curve presented itself before Qin Tian.
Then, she turned and stood by the window, gazing at the distant mountains.
Qin Tian also rose to his feet, standing beside her.
They looked down at the rolling mountains below.
"No one would persist for three years in despair, not giving up just for a success that seemed elusive at the time. This is something that, let alone you, even I find hard to achieve."
Even in the Central Continent, those so-called gifted youths, after enjoying the abundant resources provided by their families and the Sect, are often just fishing for three days and drying their nets for two. I have grown accustomed to those bastards known as the Second Generation Aristocrats.
They are lost in the glory of the past, unable to extricate themselves. Instead of focusing on their cultivation, they waste their days, devouring the foundations laid by their ancestors. They and you are simply from two different worlds.
After a long string of words, Gong Xueyi fell silent.
After a while, she turned to Qin Tian beside her and continued speaking.
"Perhaps you come from an ordinary background. Without extraordinary opportunities, you would never be able to leave the Xuan Yang Sword Sect or escape the Southern Land. If that were the case, despite your good qualities, you would ultimately amount to nothing. But you are different; I do not know what opportunities you have encountered, nor do I wish to know.
All I know is this: given time and with your efforts, you can absolutely surpass those so-called Second Generation Aristocrats. That is why I look at you differently when everyone else looks down on you."
Indeed.
There is no liking without reason.
And there is no hatred without reason.
Qin Tian sighed.
He was indeed different from those Second Generation Aristocrats.
Those Second Generation Aristocrats could still bask in the glory of the past.
But what about him?
His homeland lay in ruins.
Millions of citizens had perished.
Even his parents had fought bravely and died for him.
He was a life that everyone in Homeland had exchanged their lives for.
What reason did he have to waste time?
What qualifications did he have to not strive for improvement?
"You and I share almost the same story. Thank you for giving me hope when I was at my most desperate. Thank you for your companionship over the past six months."
Gong Xueyi opened her arms and fell into Qin Tian's embrace.
The warmth enveloped him, but Qin Tian could not feel joy.
The memories of Homeland constantly lingered before his eyes.
How could he be happy?
"I will wait for you in the Central Continent. You must come!"
Gong Xueyi lifted her head, looking at the dazed Qin Tian.
She spoke slowly.
Qin Tian lowered his gaze to meet Gong Xueyi's eyes.
A glimmer of determination flashed within him.
Just like those three years filled with uncertainty and despair.
He kept throwing punches, striving to break through the chaos and see the light.
"I will become the Supreme Champion and go to the Central Continent to marry you."
