Relying on Others Is Not as Good as Relying on Oneself!

Relying on others is no match for relying on yourself!

By now, Qin Yang's face was ashen.

The situation was beyond saving. Every Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer disciple of Yunqing Sect had been killed, one after another, by the two invulnerable evil puppets.

Xuan Chengzi would not let him off either. He had already instructed the two evil puppets to deliberately leave Qin Yang alive so that he could interrogate him later and find out how he had secretly cultivated to the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer without anyone noticing!

"Looks like I can only restart on my own."

Qin Yang held a spirit sword belonging to a Yunqing Sect disciple.

With his cultivation gone, he could simply kill himself.

But at present, he still clung to one last sliver of hope.

He looked up. Ye Zishuang was still locked in battle with Xuan Chengzi.

In midair, sword shadows shrieked as fierce Sword Qi continuously slashed in every direction. The battle had already reached its most intense stage!

However, Xuan Chengzi had absorbed Qin Yang's cultivation and was now completely unhurried. A cold smile remained at the corner of his mouth. The time was almost right!

"Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique!"

Xuan Chengzi let out a loud shout.

He shook both arms, and a terrifyingly sinister force erupted, instantly creating Spiritual Power fluctuations that made one's scalp crawl.

Buzz!

In merely an instant, the blood vitality within Ye Zishuang's body was violently drawn out.

It was not that she did not want to use Spiritual Power to resist. Rather, Xuan Chengzi had cultivated the Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique to the pinnacle. While extracting blood vitality, it could also draw out the living soul within another person's body.

Under this two-pronged assault, Ye Zishuang was already powerless to resist.

Although she could protect her own living soul from being drawn out, the blood vitality within her body continued to flow away without end, becoming nourishment for Xuan Chengzi.

The Sword Qi erupting from Ye Zishuang's hands grew weaker and weaker. It was clear that she could no longer contend with Xuan Chengzi at all!

Seeing this, the heart Qin Yang had been holding onto finally died.

"Looks like I really miscalculated. Xuan Chengzi is far stronger than I imagined. Even a Foundation Establishment Realm expert from Yunqing Sect wouldn't be his match."

"I still have to rely on myself!"

Qin Yang's gaze became utterly resolute. Then, with great decisiveness, he thrust the spirit sword in his hand through his own throat, making sure he died thoroughly!

"Hm?!"

Xuan Chengzi immediately sensed it. He frowned, feeling utterly bewildered.

Why had this brat suddenly slit his own throat?!

Was it because he did not want to suffer Xuan Chengzi's torture? But that was far too decisive!

[Host has died. Karma has been reset!]

[The host may choose one of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Cultivation Methods, or cultivation bases obtained in the previous life to inherit.]

[Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures available for inheritance from the previous life: Earth Spirit Pearl, Immortal Cave Scroll.]

[Cultivation Methods available for inheritance: Cloud Gazing Qi Swallowing Art, Calm Cloud Swordplay, True Martial Qi Infusion Method, Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique.]

[ cultivation base available for inheritance: Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer.]

The system's voice rang out, instantly clearing Qin Yang's muddled mind.

"I choose to inherit the cultivation base!"

Qin Yang answered without hesitation.

Buzz!

The next moment, extremely pure and concentrated Spiritual Power surged into his body like an initiation by heavenly nectar. His cultivation rose rapidly, finally reaching the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer.

He was only a single step away from the Foundation Establishment Realm!

After restarting his life, Qin Yang immediately began reviewing everything that had happened in his previous life, his head aching terribly.

"Damn it! That old bastard Xuan Chengzi's cave abode not only has two invulnerable evil puppets, he can also use a special evil method to drain the cultivation from my body."

"Even Yunqing Sect's experts couldn't deal with him. Could it be that I really can't escape?"

Qin Yang was suffering terribly inside.

After everything he had experienced in his previous life, he had truly seen Xuan Chengzi's real strength. The old bastard was far from simple.

Unless he could invite every expert from Yunqing Sect.

But that was utterly impossible. Yunqing Sect could never have so many people believe him. Instead, knowing too much might expose him, and he could even be captured by righteous cultivators and sliced up for research!

"In other words, I really can only rely on myself."

Qin Yang spoke after deep consideration.

He had originally counted on Yunqing Sect's experts coming to deal with Xuan Chengzi, but now it seemed impossible.

Even if he invited Tan Yurou's master again, he would merely repeat the same mistake as in his previous life and reach the same result. There was no need for that at all.

"Alternatively, I could buy time and wait for that old bastard Su Ye to arrive."

"Since Su Ye is also an evil cultivator, perhaps that Old Devil has similarly bizarre methods to deal with Xuan Chengzi?"

Qin Yang mused.

But he soon shook his head. There were still far too many variables.

Then he realized that his current cultivation had already reached the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer. He could seize an opportunity to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, thereby raising his cultivation until he could crush Xuan Chengzi!

"That could work too. As long as I restart a few more lives and break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm or even higher, I can make my move before being forced to take the Soul Locking Pill. That way, I won't have to worry about Xuan Chengzi draining the cultivation from my body."

"That's a good idea!"

Qin Yang immediately made up his mind.

Moreover, during his second life, he had already heard Ye Cheng of Yunqing Sect say that the Earth Spirit Pearl could be used to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. It was the most effective spiritual treasure for breaking through!

"Then I'll first see whether I can break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in this life."

"Tan Yurou said I'm born with a Low-grade Fire Spirit Root. I'm afraid breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm will be difficult for me too."

"Fortunately, I can keep restarting!"

Qin Yang mused.

After silently deducing things in his mind, he decided to proceed step by step in this life for the time being and first try to use the Earth Spirit Pearl to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Senior Brother Bai, is it time for Master to teach me Immortal Arts?"

Qin Yang suddenly stood up, speaking just before Bai Feng could open his mouth.

"I..."

A large question mark immediately appeared over Bai Feng's forehead. How strange. Why was this Medicinal Seed being so proactive? He had not even had time to speak, yet Qin Yang had snatched the words right out of his mouth!

"Er, as it happens, Master is indeed going to teach you Immortal Arts today. Hurry and go inside."

Although Bai Feng was puzzled, he was still grateful that Qin Yang could go in.

The process afterward remained exactly the same.

Their compatibilities did not match, so Qin Yang temporarily gained Xuan Chengzi's trust. He was then forced to consume the Qi Condensing Pill and Soul Locking Pill, followed by the Water Spirit Pill.

Qin Yang had long since become perfectly practiced at this entire routine. He could carry it out with his eyes closed!

"Junior Brother Qin, have you ever thought about leaving this demonic den?"

Bai Feng asked.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, Qin Yang twisted his neck and snapped it. Bai Feng died with his eyes wide open.

"Such a nuisance."

Qin Yang snorted coldly. After dealing with Bai Feng, he left down the mountain without looking back!
