But it must be said that this test makes a lot of sense.

In many stories, people complain that the villains always send someone slightly stronger than the protagonist to kill him, resulting in the villain constantly giving the protagonist experience points, as if feeding the protagonist to level up. Why not just send a stronger character to kill him with one slap?

In reality, powerful figures don't have that kind of free time. Suppose a branch is offended by someone like Feng Chu, would you send Wu Xiang to deal with it? If you actually dared to delegate like that, Wu Xiang would probably turn against you. In fact, it's safe to say that such a matter wouldn't even reach the highest levels of authority. It would likely only go as far as a manager at the Teng Yun level, and even if you dared to report it upwards, you might get slapped back by those above.

And this manager isn't really there to do this kind of thing, otherwise what's the point of having subordinates? Naturally, the best we can do is let a Qin Xin handle it, which is already quite a favor to the other party, and it would be the same no matter who makes the arrangements.

If you truly possess the strength to overcome challenges beyond your current level, that's a prerequisite for surviving in most normal situations, which is far more convincing than relying on luck.

Of course, fragments cannot be judged by conventional standards, but the fact that they can cross boundaries proves a lot, at least that they won't just disappear easily.

"Old Dragon, I'm afraid your vengeful spirit can't handle this test," Qin Yi finally said. "How about we try something else?"

Dragon Soul didn't understand. "What do you mean?"

"For example, look at this?" Qin Yi summoned the Zhan Guang Sword, at the early stage of the Qian Yuan realm.

Dragon Soul: "..."

"And look at this?" Demon Slaying Sword, mid-stage of the Radiant Sun realm.

"And this too." The Great Joy Temple Buddhist beads were made by combining two Buddhist beads from Guan Ji and Cihe, and are in the mid-stage of the Huiyang realm.

"This." The Yunxiu Flute, which had been reforged due to the priority supply of various resources over the past year, was in its early Huiyang stage.

"And these..." Several treasures obtained from the prisoners of Qian Yuan have not yet been refined. They are from Huiyang to Qian Yuan, and some are quite special, not divided by power.

"And this..." Qin Yi began to take off his clothes.

"Stop!" The Dragon Soul was somewhat confused. It wondered if the vengeful spirit was losing its True Spirit, causing it to hallucinate. This was a treasure carried by a Cloud-Soaring cultivator, not a top-tier equipment depot of a major sect or Lineage?

Or is it that times have changed...? Back then, cultivators who were like shrimps in the sky could now freely roam the streets with high-level treasures?

Wait, how can someone with the power of the Cloud Soaring level control these high-level treasures?

"Hey, Old Dragon..." Qin Yi said, "If you send over Qian Yuan Level vengeful spirit, I might need to call my wife for help. Let's forget about sending an early Hui Yang level spirit to jump in front of me; I'll leave you with more guards."

Isn't it just showing off?

Dragon Soul stared at Qin Yi for a long time, then suddenly said, "The Chaos Origin, Chapters One and Two? The Supporting Heaven Jade Book, the Creation Golden Chapter, the Innate Bloodline, and the Supreme Spiritual Root."

"It seems so."

"For a moment, I thought I had traveled back tens of thousands of years in Dream Return." The Dragon Soul suddenly laughed, "Interesting humans... um..."

Qin Yi's heart stirred slightly. "Do you have a way to conceal the origin of my Cultivation Method?"

Another drop of blood condensed in the air and dripped onto Qin Yi's head.

"This is not for modifying your bloodline, but to give you a certain Dragon Nature." The Dragon Soul slowly said, "Your earth-shattering power and ability to transform can be concealed by the fact that you accidentally gained a trace of Dragon Nature."

Qin Yi was overjoyed. "Thank you, senior."

"You were Old Dragon just now, and now you're a senior?" Dragon Soul chuckled.

Tassels Liusu, sometimes looking smug, sometimes cute and adorable, always like that...

It knew that the Dragon Soul had also realized something; there was definitely something very special behind Qin Yi, and it wasn't just Liusu. In fact, Liusu herself was also observing; many things weren't arranged by it, and it knew nothing while trapped inside the stick.

Qin Yi obviously didn't know that this guy was an alien soul who accidentally fell into this world.

"Since you have the ability to protect yourself, then take the door." The Dragon Soul became even more willing than before. With these words, the fragment it had guarded for tens of thousands of years, which it thought was a treasure that no one could touch, flew directly into Qin Yi's hand.

This surprised Qin Yi, who was momentarily stunned. "You just gave it to me like that?"

"Otherwise what?" the Dragon Soul retorted. "What could be more important than breaking my seal?"

Qin Yi truly admired these powerful beings. Even the vengeful spirits were more discerning than those so-called idiots with intact minds. They really got straight to the point and didn't waste any time on unnecessary fuss.

He couldn't help but ask, "Senior, do you really believe I'll keep my promise? What will you do if I don't release the seal in the end?"

"I believe... her hatred runs deeper than mine," the Dragon Soul suddenly said. "She... might need this."

The smooth, jade-like little bone floated over, and Qin Yi was completely stunned this time. You've guarded it for tens of thousands of years just for this, and now you've given it all to me?

The Dragon Soul slowly said, "This thing is not my bone... but Innate Creation Bone born from the beginning of time, nurtured by heaven and earth... I originally considered that if my soul were to escape, I might be able to use it as the foundation for reshaping my physical body, since I may not have a suitable vessel to take... However, this peak is originally my remains, and there is still hope for rebirth. Someone might need this bone more..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Yi stuffed the bone into the ring and covered it tightly, as if afraid that the Dragon Soul would change its mind.

This must be one of the Seven Things that Liusu mentioned needed to reshape the body, without a doubt!

"Get out, all of you. The spell to Past Life Dream Recall has lost its effect. If you stay any longer, you will be overwhelmed by the resentment of this place."

The three bowed sincerely and quickly withdrew.

The moment they stepped out of the cave, an overwhelming hatred surged from within, piercing the sky. In an instant, the world changed color, the wind and clouds surged, and enormous hailstones fell from all directions. The sound of a tsunami could be faintly heard from the other side of the mountain, as if it were the end of the world.

The three were horrified.

This exchange of kind words and various gifts is not the norm for this soul. Without some kind of premise, this mountain would be a dead end, a place where even a "sigh" could blow it to death.

This isn't luck or skill; ultimately, it's an alliance formed by a group of losers driven by a desire for revenge. In fact, if everyone were unharmed, they would have started fighting first; there's absolutely no way they would be so friendly and offering you gifts. Dream on.

It's just that the situation is special, with varying degrees of importance and urgency.

They were merely the conduits for some momentous event, and thus stumbled upon it... while Qin Yi was clearly an important key in it all.

If the Demon Race relies on itself, they will never be able to touch it.

The soul barrier had returned to the Wolf Tooth Club. Chengcheng stared at the club for Cheng Cheng, but finally didn't ask anything.

Dragon Soul may not have forgotten everything, such as who it truly hates. It's impossible for it to have truly forgotten, leaving only primal resentment. Judging from its behavior, that's unlikely. It says it has forgotten, but it simply doesn't want to talk about it.

Cheng Cheng knew more about the Principle than Qin Yi; there were certain things that couldn't be asked or spoken of. Just like breaking this seal, if you used the backdoor left by the seal itself, it wouldn't cause any problems, because that was meant for you to leave by the person who set the seal. But once you actually tried to break it, even just by making contact, some powerful being would inevitably sense it.

The same applies to conversation. If you mention him, or even something related to him, he will inevitably feel something and will not be able to say anything.

It was nothing special back then; if we were to tell a story, it could be finished in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. But Liusu always remained tight-lipped about Qin Yi, not to show off, but because it was genuinely difficult to say. We can only speculate and uncover the truth little by little, based on everyone's experiences.

Qin Yi looked up at the mountain peak, feeling the silent Liusu, and a sense of worry crept into his heart.

The Transverse Rift Valley is the closest place to what it was back then, and exploration here has come to an end.

No other place could be as close to Liusu as this. Whether he is seeking the past or Liusu is looking for something, the future will become more uncertain, with a sense of taking things one step at a time and hoping for the best. There will never be a place as directly confronting things as the Rift Valley.

The world is so vast that you don't even know where to go next.

"Let's go back first." Cheng Cheng noticed that he seemed a little absent-minded, so she reached out and took his hand, saying softly, "This is something we both need to do; you don't need to bear it alone."

Ye Ling asked, "Brother has dragon blood, so why don't you have horns on your head?"

Qin Yi snapped out of his daze and laughed, "This is just a trace of Dragon Nature, not a bloodline inheritance."

What is meant by "Dragon Nature"?

"I don't know, maybe some characteristics, such as power and transformation?"

"Ignore that stinky snake, what position should we try tonight?"

"Alas..."

"Master, I want to learn the technique of dividing and merging meridians."

I won't teach you.

The three of them slowly walked away. Liusu sat in the stick and pouted. What is Dragon Nature? Isn't it just being a pervert?
