Gong Xueyi's beautiful eyes sparkled with astonishment as she gazed at Qin Tian, who emerged from the dazzling light.
She never expected that Qin Tian would truly succeed.
Such potential made even her feel inferior.
It was important to remember that she had once been at the same stage of cultivation as Qin Tian, yet she had ultimately stalled at the seventh barrier.
"I’m back!"
Qin Tian stepped out of the Nine Dragons Hall and looked at Gong Xueyi.
Neither of them exchanged unnecessary words; they simply gazed at each other from a distance.
Yet, they both understood each other's thoughts.
"You didn't disappoint me!" Gong Xueyi smiled lightly.
"Of course not."
Qin Tian met her sharp gaze, piercing like a blade, as he approached her.
They were now just inches apart.
They could even smell each other's scent.
Gong Xueyi looked at the bloodied boy before her.
A warmth spread in her heart.
When they first met, he was just a boy with nothing.
On the Training Ground, he swung his fists with all his might.
All for the sake of mastering a humble set of Advanced Martial Arts.
Though he had potential, it was merely potential.
Then, over the course of more than half a year,
he soared to great heights.
Not only did he make a name for himself in the Outer Sect Grand Competition,
but he also created one miracle after another.
He made those who looked down on him submit completely.
Such dominance even moved her a little!
Today.
He had truly become an extraordinary genius, capable of standing on his own.
She was genuinely happy for him.
However...
It wasn't enough!
Gong Xueyi lowered her head, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Just as she was about to take off into the sky, she paused in her steps.
"Come find me at the Cave tonight."
Gong Xueyi's voice was as melodious as a silver bell.
If Qin Tian hadn't been so close to her, he probably wouldn't have heard it at all.
He lightly bit his tongue, staring in astonishment at the retreating figure of Gong Xueyi.
Tonight?
"Find her?"
"Isn't that a bit too soon?"
"I haven't prepared at all!"
Qin Tian suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded to all the brothers and elders present.
He quickly left the place.
...
...
Sky Peak.
Cave.
Qin Tian took a shower and changed into a clean set of clothes.
Sitting neatly in the cave, he finally stepped into the Perfect Meridian Realm, and at least in terms of raw strength, he could now compete with the top geniuses of the Three Sects.
He was no longer the boy who had nothing.
Strong enough to stand on his own.
"Gong Xueyi, I have finally caught up to your pace."
Qin Tian was very excited.
He recalled how, in the past, Gong Xueyi had favored him, which led to discontent among many Heavenly Pride within the Xuan Yang Sword Sect.
Some even questioned Gong Xueyi's judgment.
Yet, just half a year had passed.
Everything changed after he overcame the final challenge of the Nine Dragons Hall.
The entire Xuan Yang Sword Sect, whether disciples or elders, held him in high regard.
No longer did they look down on him as they once did.
Qin Tian's reputation soared within the Xuan Yang Sword Sect.
He was now regarded as a true Heavenly Pride, second only to Gong Xueyi.
"However, I am not content with merely catching up to her pace."
Qin Tian harbored a stubborn determination within himself.
He also understood that conquering Gong Xueyi was no small feat.
Simply catching up to her was far from enough!
"The urgent task now is to acquire a suitable magical artifact. I wonder if there are any in the Sect that I desire!"
Qin Tian muttered to himself as he pushed open the door and arrived at a cave on Sky Peak.
Before he could even reach it, the entrance of the cave swung open on its own.
A lewd-looking Gao Jian rushed out of the cave and immediately grabbed Qin Tian's hand.
"Junior Brother, you are truly remarkable now! Several of my fellow disciples can't stop praising you!"
Gao Jian spoke the truth; ever since Qin Tian passed the final trial of Nine Dragons Hall, he had gained a significant following at Xuan Yang Sword Sect.
In terms of fame, although he was still a distance away from Gong Xueyi, that gap was now negligible.
"Just luck, just luck. I wanted to ask Fourth Brother where I can find better magical artifacts. What I lack most right now are artifacts and techniques."
Qin Tian had already opened one hundred and eight Meridians. Moreover, he had connected the Ren and Du Meridians, stepping into the Perfect Meridian Realm. In terms of Combat Power, he was capable of contending with all the Heavenly Pride among the Three Sects.
However, the greatest gap lay in the magical artifacts and techniques. This made him still distinguishable from those true Heavenly Pride in subtle ways.
"Leave this to me. Come on, let's go find our Master now."
Gao Jian grabbed Qin Tian's hand and led him to the highest point of Sky Peak.
A magnificent Palace stood tall and imposing before them. This was the residence of their Master, Wu Qingyuan.
"You have passed the final trial of the Nine Dragons Hall; Master will surely reward you with a Treasure. Follow me!"
Gao Jian said excitedly.
"Master."
Gao Jian bowed respectfully to the Palace and spoke earnestly.
"Come in!"
A voice slowly echoed within the Palace.
Then, Gao Jian and Qin Tian stepped in side by side.
The resplendent hall.
A figure, Panxi, sat above.
"Qin Tian has come as well?"
Wu Qingyuan slowly opened his eyes atop the Palace.
"Master."
Qin Tian bowed.
"I know the purpose of your visit. With the Three Sects Nine Men Battle approaching, you indeed need a suitable magical artifact. I have three brocade boxes here. Choose one."
Wu Qingyuan seemed to have known about Qin Tian's arrival long before.
He had prepared the gifts in advance.
"Three brocade boxes?"
Gao Jian looked at Qin Tian with great excitement.
"Junior Brother, you may not know much about our Master. Generally, when Master rewards someone, it’s just a single brocade box, leaving no room for choice. Only in special circumstances will there be two brocade boxes. It is only for very precious and rare treasures that three brocade boxes are used."
Upon hearing Gao Jian's words, Qin Tian finally realized the significance of the situation.
The way this Master regarded him was vastly different from before.
If previously he had been brought into Sky Peak merely for Gong Xueyi's sake, now it was clear that the Master truly believed in his potential.
He wanted to cultivate him.
"Thank you, Master."
Qin Tian did not put on airs.
He stepped forward to face the Master and gazed at the three brocade boxes before him, deep in thought.
"Can I open them to take a look?"
Qin Tian licked his lips.
"Yes."
Wu Qingyuan nodded.
Qin Tian, not one to be overly sentimental, directly opened the first brocade box.
As the box opened, sharp sword energy instantly filled the entire Palace.
"What is this?"
Qin Tian felt a bit at a loss.
He had never seen such a Treasure before.
"The Flying Dragon Sword! A Spirit-Enhancing Artifact."
As Qin Tian pondered in confusion, a voice slowly echoed in his mind.
Martial God Senior!
Martial God Senior was also drawn to it.
This artifact seemed quite impressive.
Without hesitation, Qin Tian turned his attention to the second brocade box.
The moment he opened the box, the entire Palace was enveloped in golden radiance.
In the hazy distance, Qin Tian seemed to see a true deity bathed in golden light.
"Your master really treats you well. This Treasure has been brought out, tsk tsk."
Although Qin Tian felt a glimmer of excitement, he still had no idea what it truly was.
Hearing the words of the Martial God Senior, he was genuinely taken aback.
"What is this?"
Qin Tian transmitted his thoughts.
"The Great Sun Relic."
The War God shot a glance at Qin Tian, thinking he was quite naive.
He didn't even know about this treasure.
"The Great Sun Relic?"
Qin Tian muttered to himself. As the golden light dissipated, a small orb appeared at the center of the ornate box.
The faint golden radiance gave the orb an indescribable aura.
"If the Flying Dragon Sword from earlier is an offensive artifact for the Qi Control Realm, then this Great Sun Relic is a very formidable defensive artifact for the Qi Control Realm. When paired with the techniques of the Great Sun Relic, once cultivated successfully, it can defend against the strongest attacks from opponents of your level."
Martial God Senior, after all, is well-informed. "However, this Treasure is not real, it is a fake. If it is the real Great Sun Relic, with your mere Perfect Meridian Realm, it is absolutely impossible to master it. The real Great Sun Relic, You must have Elder or above Cultivation to control it." Ignoring Martial God Senior's soliloquy. Qintian opened the third brocade box. The previous two brocade boxes, one is the Qi Control Realm attack weapon. One is the Qi Control Realm defense weapon. Each one makes QinTian salivate. If I had a choice, Qintian would really like to get them all in one go. The first two magic weapons are so precious. So how attractive will this third one be? Qintian slowly opened the third brocade box. There is no gorgeous golden light. There is no amazing sword energy.
Plain.
Unadorned.
Those were the only four words that came to Qin Tian's mind.
Inside the brocade box lay a mask, quietly resting there.
It did not attract any dust.
A mask?
Qin Tian picked up the mask, a bitter expression on his face.
What was this?
"Your master has truly invested a lot this time. These three treasures are excellent choices for cultivators in the Qi Control Realm. With any one of them, you would be able to handle yourself well and stand shoulder to shoulder with those true Heavenly Pride."
The Martial God Senior kept clicking his tongue in admiration.
Wu Qingyuan, who had always been indifferent towards Qin Tian, surprisingly made such a significant investment this time.
Something unusual must be afoot!
Do not mention Qin Tian; even the well-informed and deeply strategic Martial God Senior could not make a judgment at that moment.
“Could it be?”
Suddenly, Martial God Senior thought of something.
He cleared his throat and slowly said, “I’m afraid that your mood will not be so good from now on.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian looked surprised.
“What’s wrong, Senior?”
Martial God Senior shook his head and did not continue.
With an awkward smile, Qin Tian held the Mask in his hand.
“Master, what is this?”
Qin Tian looked towards the meditative Wu Qingyuan.
“The Soul Mask. Wearing it allows you to perform a Soul Attack.”
As the words fell, Wu Qingyuan slowly opened his eyes.
After taking a glance at Qin Tian, he stood up.
"Soul Attack is another system that can be cultivated after entering the Qi Control Realm. In simple terms, once you step into the Qi Control Realm, you can control your own soul. Just like how most cultivators focus solely on Flesh in the Channeling Realm, they often neglect the soul.
Therefore, at this moment, Soul Attack can achieve unexpected effects. This Soul Mask was something I stumbled upon during my adventures in the Central Continent. Even Gong Xueyi has not been granted this, because she is not suited for it."
He gazed closely at Wu Qingyuan.
Qin Tian nodded heavily.
"Alright, then I will choose it."
Qin Tian smiled lightly and placed the Mask into his embrace.
Wu Qingyuan looked at Qin Tian with admiration before turning to leave.
Just as he was about to step out of the Palace, he suddenly paused.
Turning back, Wu Qingyuan gazed thoughtfully at Qin Tian.
Then, he spoke each word deliberately.
"Don't let me down."
