The Secret of the Martial Path's Later Realms

At this moment, Xun Hanfeng, the Xun Family Nine-Realm Ancestor, transmitted his voice. "I heard that Deputy Prefect Qin fought against many Envoy Demon God in this battle and gained a lot of merit points. I wonder if you would be willing to lend a hand?"

Although the Xun Family is Eight Great Families of Ancient Domain, it is considered a relatively low-profile family.

It is said that during the turmoil, they were almost wiped out like the Gen Family. After surviving, they added a family motto: Do not cause trouble, do not invite enemies.

Lin Yi was also meeting Xun Hanfeng for the first time. Knowing that Xun Hanfeng had a close relationship with Qiu Heming of Tongguan Prefecture, he asked, "Didn't Ancestor Xun make any deal with Brother Qiu?"

Xun Hanfeng smiled and said, "Of course we did trade some things, but the Ancestral Saint said that only when our Martial Family ancestors have accumulated more than 100 merit points can they be qualified to compete for the Secret Realm Slot. Moreover, the total number of quotas is not large, and my Xun Family has a shallow foundation, so we can only make more preparations."

Lin Yi nodded. The Xun Family not only had a good relationship with Qiu Heming, but they were also Martial Family that his Master Wushi over, so they had to give them some face.

"Actually, Qin merit points are quite useful, but since you've asked, I'll trade some to you..."

Xun Hanfeng's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. "Thank you Deputy Prefect Qin. We're not that far apart in age, so please call me 'Brother'..."

"Okay, Brother Xun..."

After Lin Yi reached a simple agreement with the Xun Family on the price of merit points, he received several telepathic messages from Ninth Realm Martial Saint Ancestors.

These elders also knew that the majority of the current merit points still belonged to this ' Deputy Prefect Qin '.

With the support of ' Deputy Prefect Qin ', winning a spot in the Secret Realm Slot should be a sure thing.

However, the reason he agreed to the Xun Family patriarch's request was because of the Tongguan Prefecture. Other family patriarchs would have to bleed money to get a large number of merit points from Lin Yi.

And so, the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

In just one night, the first wave of several Nine-Realm Ancestor who arrived at the Second Tong Pass collected most of the merit points held by everyone.

Lin Yi also made verbal agreements with the Xun Family, the Li Family, and the Wenfeng Family to trade merit points.

The Xun Family and Li Family families belong to the Eight Great Families, so there's no need to elaborate. However, the Wenfeng Family is somewhat special.

The first ancestor of the Wenfeng Family was not from the Ancient Domain. It is said that he fled from outside the Ancient Domain and later made great contributions to the Ancient Domain, which is why he was allowed to settle in the Ancient Domain Martial Saint City.

After the Wenfeng Family multiplied, a Daoist prodigy would appear in each generation.

This Daozi is the most outstanding genius in the Wenfeng Family, and the entire family's resources will be tilted towards this Daozi.

Through this method of nurturing within the family's resources, the Wenfeng Family gradually established itself in Martial Saint City, and more and more Martial Saint emerged within the family.

A thousand years ago, the Wenfeng Family finally produced its first Nine-Realm Ancestor, who was Wen Feng Caikui, who negotiated the deal with Lin Yi.

Wen Feng Caikui clasped his hands and said, "Deputy Prefect Qin, see you again in Martial Saint City. My family will be waiting for you!"

Lin Yi cupped his hands and said, "I will not keep Ancestor Wenfeng waiting for long!"

Bu Hui Li and Xun Hanfeng also spoke up, "Brother Qin, then we'll be waiting for you in Martial Saint City!"

"Good..."

In the air, after obtaining the required merit points, the group of Nine-Realm Ancestor vanished from everyone's sight in a flash.

At this moment, the Tai Shang Zhou Lord of the Tai Shang Family secretly transmitted his voice. "Deputy Prefect Qin, if you can sell me some merit points, you can wipe the slate clean of any grudges between you and our family."

Lin Yi glanced at him and uttered a single word.

Tai Shang Zhou didn't hear clearly. "What?"

I said, get out!

Tian Shang's expression changed instantly. "Qin Jian, do you really think you can be arrogant just because you control the Combined Tong Pass Treasure? My Tai Shang Family also has its own strength. You just wait and see!"

"Is your ancestor afraid to face me, which is why he sent you to intervene? The Ancestral Saint was right; nowadays, your Tai Shang Family is full of cowardly rats hiding their heads and tails!"

After berating Tai Shang Zhou, Lin Yi felt much better after failing to draw his talent yesterday.

Then, ignoring Tai Shang Zhou, Lin Yi's figure flashed and disappeared over the Second Tong Pass Prefecture.

At the Central Mountain Peak within the Spirit Vine World, Lin Yi was perusing and studying a document detailing his experience in breaking through to the Ninth Realm Martial Saint.

This item was brought to him smoothly by Xun Hanfeng, his cheap Master Wushi.

The document records how Eight-Realm Martial Saint can break through to the ninth realm, and how Ninth Realm Martial Saint can use Profound Yellow Qi to lay a foundation and prepare for breaking through to the next stage of the Martial Arts path.

After reading this reflection, Lin Yi frowned slightly.

I never imagined that it would be so difficult for a martial artist to break through to the professional level.

According to the notes, after Eight-Realm Martial Saint comprehends Real Domain of Great Perfection, he can stuff the Real Domain into his Qi Sea Space to become a Ninth Realm Martial Saint. This step is in preparation for the creation of Domain World.

After entering the Ninth Realm, the path to the Ninth Realm is to nurture the nascent Domain World with Profound Yellow Qi.

Only when a special kind of energy, called ' Primordial Qi ', is born in this Domain World and forms an independent state structure can the construction of the Dantian Domain World be considered completely complete.

The guide did not mention how to break through to the next level.

However, Lin Yi noticed a line in the experience guide: after Ninth Realm Martial Saint cultivates the Domain World of their Qi Sea Space, it often takes hundreds or thousands of years.

Only a large number of precious and rare objects or Profound Yellow Qi can shorten the formation of the world.

Although Lin Yi is not currently troubled by cultivation resources, if he really chooses this path, he may be stuck at this realm for a long time.

"This is certainly not the only way to break through to the Ninth Realm Martial Saint. For me, it is not difficult to stuff the ' Qiankun Yin Yang ' Real Domain I currently control into the Qi Sea Space, and it is not difficult to obtain a piece of Profound Yellow Qi to transform the Domain World. However, it is probably not possible to make the Domain World give birth to any ' Primordial Qi ' in a short period of time."

"Furthermore, isn't this method essentially about cultivating a Small World within one's body? How similar is it to the Spirit Vine World that I currently possess?"

"If breaking through to the next level of martial arts requires the creation of a Small World within the body, could he utilize the Spirit Vine World?"

At this moment, Lin Yi's thoughts were wandering, and he felt a sudden flash of inspiration.

However, Lin Yi's understanding of the path ahead in the Nine Realms was too one-sided.

He needed to know exactly how the Ninth Realm Martial Saint paved the way for the subsequent realms, and why he was paving the way.

Only by understanding the underlying reasons can Lin Yi modify his martial arts methods according to the actual situation.

Subsequently, Lin Yi drew Red Talent twice more from the Spirit Vine World. Just like yesterday, not only did a large number of Source Stone turn to ashes, but he also didn't draw any talents at all.

Looking at the Wishing Incense Altar that had turned to ashes, Lin Yi angrily said, "Damn it, I'm not repairing it anymore. Even if I didn't get the talent, it still exploded. You can just lie here and rest!"

A gentle breeze blew by, and the ash from the bricks used to build the Incense Altar flew in the wind.

After staying at Second Tong Pass for another day, Lin Yi received a message from Wu Shi, preparing to return to Martial Saint City.

Upon returning to Martial Saint City, Lin Yi planned to visit the Treasure Vault of the Li, Xun, and Wen Feng families, and use the agreed-upon Merit Points to acquire their supplies.

Few of the exchangeable items that Grand Saint Granny took out were what Lin Yi lacked, and the Demigod Artifact that could be exchanged were rather useless.

Since these three companies are willing to pay high prices to acquire the Merit Points, Lin Yi naturally wants to make good use of them and also see what kind of foundation these three companies really have.

Putting aside other supplies, if these three Treasure Vault contained Talent Stone, Lin Yi would definitely want to get his hands on them.

During this time, Lin Yi used the method of changing his talents to ensure that he did not lack Talent Slot, and forced himself to cultivate the Eight Laws of Qiankun Domain to perfection.

If Lin Yi plans to remove the "Burning Incense and Making a Wish" talent, then he will probably no longer be able to randomly draw talents of Red Grade or lower from the library.

Therefore, before replacing [Burning Incense and Making a Wish], Lin Yi needs a sufficient number of Talent Slot.

High in the sky, Lin Yi was like Jin Hong rushing towards Martial Saint City.

Lin Yi did not travel with Zi Shanshui and the others; he was alone.

Suddenly, Lin Yi hovered high in the sky, looked at a certain space, and said, "Come out."

"Haha, it hasn't been that long since we last met, but Junior Nephew Qin's senses have become much sharper!"

Hidden in the void of the ' Qian Heaven ' space, a man dressed in a robe like a refined gentleman stepped out; it was none other than Lin Yi's nominal uncle, Young Master Young Master Wuchen.

"Wu Chen, why are you stopping me?"

Young Master Wuchen frowned. "Wu Chen? Is this how you treat your elders, kid?"

The last time they met, Lin Yi addressed him as "Uncle-Master Zhu" repeatedly, but this time he directly addressed him as "Wu Chen."

It should be noted that even the Nine-Realm Ancestor would address him respectfully as Young Master Wuchen.

Lin Yi said coldly, "Since you don't acknowledge me as a junior of your sect, Qin, will naturally not try to curry favor with you."

To be honest, after being blocked at the door by Wu Chen after the last Dragon and Dragon Phoenix Banquet, Lin Yi had no feelings for this nominal senior uncle.

"You, you are exactly like your master, a traitor who has abandoned his ancestors and forgotten his principles!"

Lin Yi ignored Young Master Wuchen's insults and said calmly, "Qin, am in a hurry to return to Martial Saint City. If you are not, then get out of my way!"

Young Master Wuchen raised an eyebrow. He could sense that Lin Yi in front of him was very bold and not afraid of him.

Thinking of Lin Yi Yi's achievements at Second Tong Pass, he simply said, "Kid, I want your Merit Points, or you can give me a spot in a Secret Realm Slot. We can discuss the price!"

"No!"

"What's missing?"

"I've already arranged for the 'Easy Exit' Merit Points, but as for the Secret Realm Slot, there aren't any."

Young Master Wuchen gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, I'm being very polite to you right now. Don't make me angry, or even your master won't be able to bear the consequences."

"Then go find my master."

Seeing that Lin Yi wanted to leave, Young Master Wuchen waved his hand in the air and stopped him.

"I know you're still thinking about the last 'Xi' incident. To be honest, that 'Xi' wasn't something I wanted to do; it was your master testing the Gu Family..."

"Qin 'm too lazy to listen. I'll say it again: no."

"You, you're completely stubborn... This time, without the other Nine-Realm Ancestor, let's see who can help you."

The Young Master Wuhen was enraged and decided to use force.

Just as he was about to make a move, he saw a string of Tong Pass Light shoot out from Lin Yi's sleeve, sealing off the surrounding space layer by layer.

Young Master Wuchen exclaimed in panic, "The Combined Tong Pass Treasure! How come it's still on you?"

"Naturally, it's because Qin, haven't returned it yet..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Seventeen Tong Pass Treasure appeared as a Light Orb, enveloping the Young Master Wuhen within them.

The power of the Earth Vein Divine Artifact was so great that even the combined efforts of the five Honored Envoy could not break it, Young Master Wuhen was naturally no exception.
