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

Chapter 45: Relying on Yourself is Better Than Relying on Others!

At this moment, Qin Yang's face was ashen.

The situation was lost. All the disciples of the Yunqing Sect at the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer had died clean, each one killed by two invulnerable Evil Puppets.

Xuan Chengzi would not let him go either. He had already instructed the two Evil Puppets to specifically spare his life so they could interrogate him later about how he cultivated to the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer's cultivation level without anyone noticing!

"It seems I can only start over myself."

Qin Yang held a spiritual sword belonging to a Yunqing Sect disciple in his hand.

Without his cultivation, he could have simply taken his own life.

But for now, he still held onto a sliver of hope.

He looked up and saw Ye Zishuang still locked in combat with Xuan Chengzi.

In mid-air, sword shadows whistled, and sharp Sword Qi continuously slashed in all directions. The battle had already erupted into its most intense stage!

However, Xuan Chengzi, having absorbed Qin Yang's cultivation, was now unhurried. A cold sneer lingered on his lips. It was almost time!

"Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique!"

Xuan Chengzi shouted.

He shook his arms, and a terrifying, evil power erupted, immediately creating spiritual energy fluctuations that made one's scalp tingle.

Buzz!

In an instant, the blood energy within Ye Zishuang's body was madly drawn out.

This wasn't because she didn't want to use her Spiritual Power to resist, but because Xuan Chengzi had cultivated the Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique to the Great Accomplishment stage. While drawing out blood energy, he could also extract the souls of others.

Under this dual assault, Ye Zishuang was already powerless to resist!

Although she could protect her own soul from being drawn out, the blood energy within her body continuously flowed out, becoming nourishment for Xuan Chengzi.

The Sword Qi erupting from Ye Zishuang's hand grew weaker and weaker. She was clearly no longer able to contend with Xuan Chengzi!

Seeing this, the hope Qin Yang had clung to completely died.

"It seems I miscalculated. This Xuan Chengzi is far more powerful than I imagined. Even the Foundation Establishment Realm experts from the Yunqing Sect who came were no match for him."

"I still have to rely on myself!"

Qin Yang's gaze was incredibly firm. Then, with great decisiveness, he used the spiritual sword in his hand to pierce his own throat, ensuring he would die completely!

"En?!"

Xuan Chengzi immediately sensed something. His brow furrowed, finding it incredibly strange.

Why did this brat just commit suicide?!

Could it be that he didn't want to suffer torture at my hands? But this is too decisive!

[Host Death Detected. Karma Reset!]

[Host may choose one inheritance from the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, techniques, and cultivation levels obtained in the previous life.]

[Inheritable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures: Earth Spirit Pearl, Cave Immortal Scroll.]

[Inheritable Techniques: Cloud Gazing Qi Swallowing Art, Calm Cloud Swordplay, True Martial Qi Infusion Method, Heavenly Yin Blood Sucking Technique.]

[Inheritable Cultivation: Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer.]

The system's voice reached him, instantly clearing Qin Yang's muddled mind.

"I choose to inherit the cultivation!"

Qin Yang said decisively.

Buzz!

The next moment, incredibly pure and dense Spiritual Power poured into his body like a divine enlightenment, causing his cultivation to soar, finally reaching the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer.

He was now only one step away from the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Having restarted his life, Qin Yang immediately began to review the events of his previous life, feeling a terrible headache.

"Damn it, Xuan Chengzi's cave dwelling not only had two invulnerable Evil Puppets, but he could also extract my cultivation through a special evil method."

"Even the experts of the Yunqing Sect couldn't deal with him. Is there truly no escape?"

Qin Yang felt immense pain in his heart.

His experience in the previous life had truly shown him the old devil Xuan Chengzi's true strength, which was far from simple.

Unless he could invite all the experts of the Yunqing Sect.

But that was utterly impossible. The Yunqing Sect would never believe him, and knowing too much might even lead to exposure, or worse, being captured by righteous cultivators for dissection and research!

"This means I really have to rely on myself."

Qin Yang said after deep consideration.

He had initially hoped to rely on the experts of the Yunqing Sect to resolve Xuan Chengzi, but now it seemed that was no longer possible.

Even if Master Tan Yurou were invited again, it would only be repeating the same mistakes as his previous life, leading to the same outcome. There was no point.

"Alternatively, I could stall for time until that old guy Su Ye arrives."

"As fellow evil cultivators, perhaps that Old Devil Su Ye might have some similarly bizarre methods to deal with Xuan Chengzi?"

Qin Yang mused.

But he quickly shook his head. The variables in the meantime were too great.

Afterward, he thought about how his current cultivation had reached the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer. He could seize an opportunity to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, thereby improving his cultivation until he could crush Xuan Chengzi!

"This is also feasible. As long as I keep restarting my life, I can break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and even higher levels. Then, I can act before being forced to take the Soul Locking Pill. This way, I won't have to worry about Xuan Chengzi siphoning my cultivation."

"What a great idea!"

Qin Yang immediately made up his mind.

Moreover, in his second life, he had already heard from Ye Cheng of the Yunqing Sect that one could break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm using the Earth Spirit Pearl. It was the most effective spiritual item for breaking through to that realm!

"So, this life, I'll first try to see if I can break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"Fellow disciple Tan Yurou said I have a natural Low-grade Fire Spirit Root. I'm afraid breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm will be somewhat difficult."

"Fortunately, I can keep restarting!"

Qin Yang mused.

After silently running through his calculations, he decided that for this life, he would proceed step by step for now, first attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm using the Earth Spirit Pearl.

"Senior Brother Bai, isn't it my turn to learn Immortal Arts from Master?"

Qin Yang suddenly stood up, just in time to speak before Bai Feng could.

"I..."

A huge question mark appeared on Bai Feng's forehead. How strange. Why is this medicinal seed so proactive? I haven't even had a chance to speak, and he's already cut me off!

"Uh, that's right. Master is indeed going to teach you Immortal Arts today. You should go in quickly."

Despite his confusion, Bai Feng was grateful that Qin Yang could enter.

The subsequent process was exactly the same as before.

Incompatible affinity, temporarily gaining Xuan Chengzi's trust, then being forced to take the Qi Condensing Pill and the Soul Locking Pill, and finally, the Water Spirit Pill.

Qin Yang was already performing this sequence with practiced ease, able to do it with his eyes closed!

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

Bai Feng asked.

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

"So noisy."

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