He paused and his eyes fell on the leather book.
Zhou Qi also glanced at the leather booklet and did not pick it up immediately.
He took out a Jade Slip from Storage Pendant with his backhand. It was moist with body and aura restrained, and he gently placed it in front of Huang Jiyuan.
"This is Profound Spirit Realm Mahayana Realm complete Cultivation Method."
Huang Jiyuan's eyes fell on Jade Slip, and the whole portrait was frozen.
After a long time, he slowly stretched out his hand, picked up Jade Slip, and gently rubbed the surface with his old fingertips.
"Ten thousand years..."
Huang Jiyuan's voice was hoarse. "I've been waiting for this volume Cultivation Method for ten thousand years."
After a long silence.
Huang Jiyuan suddenly laughed, but there was no joy in that smile, but a deep fatigue.
"Zhou Qi."
He raised his eyes, his cloudy pupils reflected the gray skylight, and his voice was soft and slow, as if he was squeezing the last bit of strength from his bones with every word he spoke.
"I... maybe I can't do it anymore."
"I've run out of gas and I can't survive that time."
Zhou Qi frowned.
Huang Jiyuan didn't give him a chance to speak. He just used his skinny hands to slowly take Jade Slip into his arms, then supported his knees and tried to sit up straighter.
"Zhou Qi, can I ask you a favor?"
Zhou Qi did not answer, but paused and asked, "You mean, Heaven-Escaping Pavilion?"
"Yes."
Huang Jiyuan nodded and turned his gaze to the large array of light curtains in the distance that had shrunk countless times:
"This place won't last long. After ten years, Imperial Capital has run out of oil and gas. I don't ask you to sacrifice your life for Imperial Capital. I only ask you to protect my ancestors and leave this place."
He paused, as if he was weighing something, and finally said slowly, "We only need to take one person away."
Zhou Qi looked at the old man in front of him.
His face was filled with despair and anger, but his eyes were still shining with all their strength.
Zhou Qi After thinking for a moment, he shook his head gently.
Huang Jiyuan was stunned.
He didn't expect Zhou Qi to refuse.
Those eyes darkened visibly to the naked eye.
He didn't get angry or ask questions, he just nodded slowly and forced a forced smile on his lips.
"That's fine, you shouldn't be responsible for this in the first place."
But the next second, Zhou Qi changed the topic.
"I won't help you protect your ancestral bloodline."
"But I can help you kill Huang Jiye and destroy the inheritance of the Heaven-Escaping Pavilion."
"You Imperial Capital can still survive in this world safely."
Huang Jiyuan raised his head suddenly, as if he hadn't heard clearly, staring at Zhou Qi, his muddy old eyes full of disbelief.
"You... do you know what you are talking about?"
"Natural."
"Do you know Huang Jiye's strength?" Huang Jiyuan's voice trembled.
"Natural."
Zhou Qi replied very quickly.
He stared into Zhou Qi's eyes, as if trying to find pretentiousness in them, but there was only calmness there.
"You..."
"Senior may not know."
Zhou Qi didn't let him continue anymore, and smiled lightly, with a very light and stable confidence:
"My current state is invincible in the world."
As soon as he finished speaking, a very subtle breath overflowed from Zhou Qi's body.
The breath is not heavy, it can even be said to be extremely light and soft.
But Huang Jiyuan was shocked all over.
He felt as if he was being pressed lightly by the entire world, and even his soul trembled slightly at that moment.
The breath disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed.
"You... have come that far?"
Huang Jiyuan's voice was so dry that it was like the last breath squeezed out of the throat.
"That's one step away," Zhou Qi said confidently:
"The only thing missing is this volume Cultivation Method!"
He stretched out his hand and finally picked up the yellowed leather book between the two of them.
After receiving the leather book, the system prompt suddenly sounded.
The silver pattern shone slightly, as if it had been silent for a long time and suddenly waited for the person it was waiting for.
Huang Jiyuan looked at this scene and suddenly burst into laughter. He laughed and burst into tears.
"Okay! Okay! Okay...!"
"I, Huang Jiyuan, can see a real person who has overcome the tribulation before I die..."
He looked at Zhou Qi with no hesitation in his eyes.
"Worth it!"
After saying that, he raised his hand tremblingly and patted Zhou Qi hard on the shoulder.
Huang Jiyuan didn't ask any more questions.
He just took a deep look at Zhou Qi, then stood up slowly while supporting the dead tree, and waved to Dragon Colt not far away.
"Go and open the retreat stone room in the back mountain."
Dragon Colt whimpered, turned around and walked away on the clouds.
"Come with me."
Huang Jiyuan walked in front, walking slowly but firmly, as if he had regained some strength.
After passing through the withered spiritual fields and bypassing the long-dried spiritual stream, in front of the stone wall at the back of the mountain, a stone door covered with vines slowly opened.
The stone chamber is not big, the walls are as smooth as mirrors, and the floor is covered with a thin layer of spiritual light array patterns.
"This is one of the last few formations in the entire secret realm that is still functioning. Primordial Qi is extremely pure and rich."
Zhou Qi nodded, took a step in, and felt the Primordial Qi who kept crowding in here.
He said calmly, "I will come out of seclusion in half a month to survive the tribulation."
Huang Jiyuan was shocked all over.
The hope in his eyes deepened, and he finally nodded heavily. "Okay, by then, I will risk my life to protect you!"
Zhou Qi said nothing and turned around and entered the stone room.
The room became dark, with only the array patterns on the four walls still shining faintly, like a few stars that were about to burn out.
Zhou Qi sat down cross-legged in the center of the stone room.
He closed his eyes.
By forming a seal with both hands, the meridians in the body run simultaneously Profound Spirit Realm and Hidden-Heaven Realm in two sets of Cultivation Method.
Immediately afterwards, he opened System Panel.
On that level, I have accumulated more than four years of proficiency, which has reached a terrifying figure.
Billions.
After he broke through Great Vehicle Realm Great Completion, he never stopped for a moment.
Every day after that, he was building up his strength for this moment.
Now, it's time.
"Deep Blue! Give me all the points!!"
Zhou Qi said silently in his heart.
The next moment.
Boom--!
It felt like something was completely ignited somewhere in my body.
Billions of proficiencies turned into a rolling torrent, pouring crazily into Hidden-Heaven Realm Cultivation Method.
Extreme Origin Firmament Realm First floor, second floor, third floor...
That barrier was being broken through one level after another like paper.
Five floors.
Seven floors.
Nine floors.
Great Perfection!
"Boom--!"
Outside the stone chamber, the entire secret realm Primordial Qi was evacuated at this moment.
The entire Hidden-Heaven Realm sky suddenly sank.
The gray sky seemed to be pressed downwards by a big hand from above.
Within a million miles, all the Primordial Qis are rushing towards the direction of Xihe Imperial Capitals at the same time, as if all the rivers are returning to the sea and hundreds of birds are flocking to the phoenix.
Huang Jiyuan stood outside the stone room and suddenly raised his head.
His white hair was blown away by the invisible wind, and his cloudy eyes opened wider and wider.
"This... this..."
Inside the stone chamber.
Zhou Qi's Dantian has completely changed.
The translucent Spiritual Power and the silver-white Primordial Qi were slowly rotating in his Dantian in a completely equal attitude.
Like Tai Chi, like Pisces!
There is me in you and you in me.
The two forces rotate faster and faster, and the color becomes lighter and lighter.
In the end, the translucency and silvery white disappear at the same time.
Instead, there is a pure golden color.
Boom--!
The stone chamber can no longer trap that light.
Tens of thousands of golden lights erupted from Zhou Qi's body, making the entire stone chamber as bright as day.
The golden light shines through the stone wall, rushes into the spiritual field, and penetrates into the sky. Where it passes, dead trees sprout branches and dry streams grow fog.
That golden beam of light broke through the gray sky, tearing away the shadow that had remained unchanged for millions of years in the hidden world.
Then, Zhou Qi heard a soft sound.
"Crack."
There was a very light sound, like a bubble, quietly breaking in the deepest part of his eyebrows.
That was the sound of the road opening.
He saw that the darkness above his head disappeared.
A road leading to the sky stretched from the center of his eyebrows to the end of the endless void.
The steps are like a ladder to heaven, one step connected to the next, and each step is filled with ancient Daoist patterns.
That first step is at his feet.
Zhou Qi didn't move, his expression was unbelievably calm.
He just sat quietly, letting the golden light flow through his body, and looked at the steps that were just around the corner.
"It's finally here."
He whispered in his heart.
Then, he closed his eyes and began to adjust his breath.
Contain the surging Origin-Spirit Power in the body bit by bit, and warm the soul and body to their peak state at the same time.
