"Um, Ying Jie, I have a bit of confusion and would like to ask something."
As she spoke, the atmosphere in the room grew tense.
Qin Tian swallowed hard.
"Go ahead."
Liu Qiong Yan was not surprised at all; the reason she had brought Qin Tian into the fold was not merely because she had seen Qin Tian's Heavenly Spirit Cover radiating brilliance.
It was clear he was a rare talent, one that appeared once in a hundred years.
Nonsense.
She already possessed extraordinary insight.
From the moment she laid eyes on Qin Tian, she sensed that his constitution was somewhat peculiar.
However, she couldn't quite gauge his true potential.
In any case, Qin Tian posed no conflict of interest with her.
Having more friends means more opportunities.
This principle is well understood by anyone who has managed to reach this level.
"I am here for the first time at Immortal Path."
Qin Tian spoke shyly.
However, just as he said this, Xie Luo, who had not yet gotten up a few yards away, suddenly fell back down to the ground with a thud.
He trembled all over.
"Uh, what's wrong with him?" Qin Tian pointed at Xie Luo in surprise.
Did he hit too hard?
No way!
Liu Qiong Yan stifled a laugh as he looked at Qin Tian.
The meaning was clear.
You kid, keep pretending.
With those skills, how can you say it's your first time at Immortal Path?
A little showboating is fine, but to strike someone down like this—are you really that much of a man?
After all, Xie Luo was here for the second time.
Who could take such a slap in the face?
"Cough, cough, alright. I want to ask, what are the rules of Immortal Path?"
Qin Tian looked at Liu Qiong Yan with anticipation.
Everyone nearby was stunned.
All eyes were suddenly focused on him.
After a few awkward glances up and down, everyone forced a smile.
Seeing the sincere look in this kid's eyes, it seemed like it really was his first time at Immortal Path.
Then they glanced at Xie Luo, who had already decided to play dead.
Many felt a bit sorry for him.
You could say he liked to bully newcomers on a regular basis, but coming to this place where everyone was extraordinary and still pulling that stunt?
Well, he had really kicked the iron plate this time.
And it was an iron plate covered in barbs; he might as well just play dead!
"Uh, little brother, is this really your first time at Immortal Path? You're not lying, are you?"
This time, even Liu Qiong Yan was taken aback.
If we don't pretend, we're still good friends.
"Really, three years ago, I was only at the first level of the Channeling Realm. I guess I don't have the qualifications, right?"
Qin Tian said with a shy smile, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Alright."
Seeing that Xie Luo looked like he had already given up hope, Liu Qiong Yan decided to change the subject.
He quickly interrupted, "The Ancient Immortal Path is divided into three stages. Each stage lasts one month. In total, the Ancient Immortal Path spans three months.
The first stage is divided into four regions: Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque, and Xuanwu. We are currently in the Vermilion Bird Region. Within one month, we must pass through three cities and reach Vermilion Bird Mountain.
To qualify for the second stage, we need to be among the top three hundred on the leaderboard at Vermilion Bird Mountain. At that time, there will be twelve hundred people from the four regions competing for the mid-stage of the Ancient Immortal Path.
In the mid-stage of the Ancient Immortal Path, there are three city gates. Only those who rank in the top fifty during the trials at these gates can advance to the third stage. The fifty individuals who enter the final stage will also be listed in the Southern Dragon and Tiger Rankings."
After finishing his explanation in one breath, Liu Qiong Yan let out a sigh and stared intently at Qin Tian.
"Southern Dragon and Tiger Rankings? Why does that sound so familiar?"
Qin Tian pondered for a moment and suddenly recalled when he had slain Zhang Wangchuan from Lingxu Daozong. An elder from Lingxu Daozong had once mentioned that Zhang Wangchuan had befriended a group of Freaks during the last Ancient Immortal Path event.
One of them had even ranked in the top ten of the Southern Dragon and Tiger Rankings, specifically on the Tiger List.
It seemed that the person he had initially overlooked was actually a formidable character.
Seeing Qin Tian's gloomy expression, Liu Qiong Yan was quite surprised.
"What’s wrong? Little brother, has the brutal Tournament frightened you?"
"No, I just want to ask again. How powerful are those in the top ten of the Southern Dragon and Tiger Rankings, specifically on the Tiger List?"
Raising his head, a flicker of barely perceptible battle intent flashed in Qin Tian's eyes.
"The top ten on the Tiger List?"
Liu Qiong Yan's expression shifted slightly.
After a long pause, she finally spoke with a smile.
"As far as I know, those in the top ten of the Tiger List are generally at the late stage of Qi Control Realm or higher. In fact, some exceptionally talented individuals from last year's top ten may have even broken through to the Divine Connection Realm after three years of cultivation."
Upon hearing this, the killing intent in Qin Tian's eyes grew even more intense.
He lightly licked his cracked lips and grinned.
"Late stage of Qi Control Realm, Divine Connection Realm. Heh, this is indeed a bit tricky."
"Tricky? Are you really thinking of stepping into the top ten of the Tiger List?"
"No, I just want to spar with them."
"I advise you not to take that risk. Take our Han Jinglong from the Snow State, for example! A month ago, I encountered him at the Snow State Top Ten Tournament. In the end, I barely lasted ten moves before being defeated.
What's even more infuriating is that he didn't even use his full strength. Sigh, I have to say, these Freaks are truly monstrous. You can't deny it; Han Jinglong's talent as a Fifth-Rank Genius is definitely not to be underestimated."
Liu Qiong Yan sighed.
It seemed that the shadow Han Jinglong cast over her had yet to dissipate.
"Alright, let's rest! Tomorrow we're heading to Underworld City, right? Underworld City is the First City of the Vermilion Bird Region?"
"Yes, Underworld City is indeed the First City of the Vermilion Bird Region. Let's hurry and get some rest so we can set off early tomorrow. Little brother, I'm afraid of the cold; could you come warm up my bed?"
Licking her vibrant lips, Liu Qiong Yan looked alluringly at Qin Tian.
"I... I already like someone."
Qin Tian's face turned completely red, feeling flustered.
"Look at how nervous you are, little brother."
With her usual charm restored, Liu Qiong Yan walked away with a playful sway in her hips.
It seemed she was intentionally trying to tease Qin Tian.
"Don't misunderstand; that's just her personality. She likes to provoke and appears to be a pure young girl. In reality, she's always been quite reserved."
On one side, the burly man who had just brought water for Xie Luo quickly spoke up to avoid any misunderstanding with Qin Tian.
"Um."
Qin Tian had just nodded when he suddenly realized something was off.
"Am I really that innocent? No, am I an innocent person? What the... never mind, I'm going to sleep. Where's my place?"
Qin Tian truly didn't want to explain himself, especially not about being an innocent young man.
Is this a joke?
Innocent guy!
Innocence is something you say about girls, right?
"Over there."
The burly man stifled a laugh and pointed with his hand.
Qin Tian fled in embarrassment.
"Actually, this kid is quite adorable. Plus, his skills aren't bad. Besides, it was the big sister's idea. I think we shouldn't target him. Right?"
The burly man scratched his head and chuckled.
The others nodded in agreement.
Xie Luo, who had only just gotten up now, wore a dark expression on his face.
Without saying a word, he turned and returned to his dwelling to sleep.
"Do you think Xie Luo might do something foolish? Like, commit suicide?" a burly man said.
"He's as tough as a cockroach; what does he have to fear?" someone else chimed in.
"Shut up! I'm not even asleep yet!" Xie Luo's voice echoed far into the night sky.
...
...
"I have to say, the Spirit Pill from the Ancient Immortal Path is indeed very potent. It's perfect for cultivation! Unfortunately, the Tournament issue prevents one from immersing too deeply in training. Otherwise, I would really want to cultivate here directly to the Divine Connection Realm," Qin Tian said with a slight smile while sitting cross-legged in his room.
"Indeed. The Spirit Pill here suits your taste quite well. You must be feeling pretty pleased with yourself," War God remarked with a gentle smile.
"Not too bad!"
Qin Tian closed his eyes and began his intense training.
Xie Luo was right.
His cultivation was indeed not very stable.
Just a moment ago, when he made his move, he almost lost his breath.
This was a normal reaction for someone who had just entered the Qi Control Realm.
Thus, throughout the night, Qin Tian did not rest at all.
He seized the time to stabilize his cultivation.
Time passed quickly.
Before he knew it, morning had arrived.
As the first rays of dawn streamed through the window and into the young man's eyes, Qin Tian exhaled lightly. A powerful aura suddenly erupted from within him.
He had thoroughly stabilized his initial stage in the Qi Control Realm.
With his gaze focused inward, he observed his Dantian. Within the purple palace, a Qi Sea slowly began to take shape.
The golden Qi Sea swirled around Qin Tian's lifelong spiritual energy.
Endless and unbroken, not a trace dissipated.
For an ordinary Qi Control Realm cultivator, the Purple Sea of Qi appears silver.
Moreover, there are gains and losses, and perfection remains elusive.
This is the greatest distinction between the Perfect Meridian Realm and the Ordinary Meridian Realm after stepping into the Qi Control Realm.
These differences are imperceptible to ordinary people.
Let alone Liu Qiong Yan and his group.
Even if their master were to arrive, they would hardly notice.
Of course, if one were to reach a higher level, the differences would become clear.
"Little brother, it's time to set off. Are you still going to sleep in? Or should I come over and pull your blanket off?"
A teasing voice rang out early in the morning from outside the door.
Qin Tian smiled awkwardly and had no choice but to stand up and push open the door.
Outside stood a graceful figure, poised and captivating.
Chuchu was enchanting.
In the distance, the others were already prepared to depart.
"Let's go!"
Qin Tian smiled shyly.
However, to his surprise, Liu Qiong Yan affectionately ruffled his hair.
"Not asleep? Your hair is so neat."
"No. I'm stabilizing my cultivation."
"Really diligent. Let's go!"
Liu Qiong Yan pulled Qin Tian along, just like an older sister would with her younger brother, walking up to everyone.
"Among you all, except for the little brother here—by the way, what's your name?"
Liu Qiong Yan looked at Qin Tian.
Everyone present nearly choked on their laughter upon hearing this.
Just yesterday, she had been so protective of others, acting as if anyone who wanted to harm him would have to step over her first.
Yet she didn't even know his name?
"Ahem, my name is Qin Tian."
Qin Tian felt quite embarrassed; this big sister was really careless.
"Alright, among you all, aside from Qin Tian, this is your second time participating in the Celestial Path Competition. Everyone should pay attention. Although the chances of joining the Celestial Gate are virtually zero, our goal is not just to enter the Celestial Gate."
"Accumulating more experience and obtaining more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures is our greatest purpose for coming here. Let's go!"
Liu Qiong Yan spoke up.
"Yeah!"
The group was filled with enthusiasm.
"By the way, little brother, what is your purpose for coming here?"
Liu Qiong Yan looked down, affectionately gazing at Qin Tian.
"Uh, to join the Three Great Sects."
Silence fell over the room.
Everyone stared at Qin Tian as if he were a monster.
Join the Three Great Sects? Are you sure you took your medicine this morning?
