As you pass through the Space Portal, the scene changes.
The group had arrived above an abandoned city.
Qin Yuran and the others landed on the long street near the city gate.
At the same time, many disciples from various sects appeared in different parts of this abandoned city.
Less than 300 meters away from Ling Yi and his group were two people, one of whom was an acquaintance.
It was Situ Jie knelt at the entrance of Qin Yuran's cave that day and was eventually scared away by the Nascent Soul Clone.
The biological son of Situ Men, and the renowned Immortal Gate Prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Sect.
After that day, Situ Jie never appeared again.
Afterwards, Sect Master Situ Men came over to test the waters, but only briefly Probe with his Spiritual Sense before retreating.
Then there was silence.
Upon seeing Qin Yuran and the others, Situ Jie's eyes immediately flashed with killing intent.
He laughed twice and then came to stand in front of Ling Yi and the others.
"Good, good, Qin Yuran, I didn't expect to run into you so soon. You're really lucky." Situ Jie's voice was cold and gloomy.
He looked like he was about to devour someone.
"If we kill him, wouldn't the Situ Men go crazy?" Qin Yuran said calmly.
"What are you saying? You dare to kill me? Haha, this woman says she dares to kill me!" Situ Jie laughed maniacally as if he had heard a joke.
"Come here, Qin Yuran, I'm standing right here. Do you dare to kill me?"
Qin Yuran didn't react at all, while Qin Ya and Ling Yi stared at Situ Jie as if he were a fool.
As for the fox-eyed girl, she had an expression of watching the show.
"Come on, come on, kill me!" Seeing that Qin Yuran and the others did not move, Situ Jie shouted even more.
Qin Yuran turned to look at Ling Yi: "Should we kill him now?"
Ling Yi shrugged. "We'll have to face off against the Situ Men sooner or later, so let's just kill them!"
"That's right!" Qin Yuran nodded.
Then, to the astonishment of Situ Jie and the extra, Qin Yuran formed a hand seal.
A flash of lightning, and Situ Jie and the extra who hadn't uttered a single line were instantly reduced to ashes.
This is just Qin Yuran's simplest Thunder Spirit spell.
The reason it was so powerful was simply because Qin Yuran's cultivation had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Moreover, he was at the Late Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, nearly at its Perfection.
Before the sect competition began, Qin Yuran had already recovered the cultivation of her two Clone.
Both Clone, empowered by the Heavenly Dao Body, have already cultivated to the Early Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
This forcefully pushed Qin Yuran's cultivation level to its current state.
Spirit Transformation Realm already signifies top-tier Battle Power.
There isn't a single Spirit Transformation Realm in the entire Heavenly Mysterious Sect.
Qin Yuran's current cultivation level makes her virtually invincible in the Southern Wilderness Domain.
The Immortal Cultivation Realm world is vast, almost endless.
No one knows just how big the Immortal Cultivation Realm is.
Within the Southern Wilderness Domain, there are over a hundred cultivation sects of Xiaoxiao.
Sects like Heavenly Mysterious Sect and Cold Nether Sect are already top-tier sects.
Yet none of them were at the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Qin Yuran the Spirit Transformation Realm, is naturally invincible in the Southern Wilderness Domain.
Besides Qin Yuran, Ling Yi and Ling Yi Clone Qin Ya are also at the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Ling Yi achieved the Perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm by synchronizing his cultivation with Qin Yuran's.
This Clone, Qin Ya, possessed the Heavenly Dao Body, along with the resources contributed by Lin Changqing, the Peak Master of Pill Peak, and Immortal Gate Jie, the Situ Jie storage rings.
Only then, within a little over a month, did he forcefully push this Clone to the Early Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"You just killed Situ Jie like that?" the fox-eyed girl asked incredulously.
Situ Jie, the sect leader's son, is also an only child.
How did they dare to actually kill him?
Aren't you afraid of being killed by the sect leader or patriarch after you go out?
"Who are you?" Qin Yuran looked the fox-eyed woman up and down, frowning as she asked.
"Hey, you're not going to kill me, are you? Let me tell you, if you kill me, you'll die too."
"I'm asking, who are you!" Qin Ya repeated.
"Huh? Are you asking for my name?"
"My Hu Ji, and I come from the Wondrous Sound Sect!"
"What did you say your name was?" Qin Yuran's pupils contracted slightly.
Then he exchanged a glance with Ling Yi.
"Could it be the one we're thinking of?"
"It should be." Ling Yi nodded.
"Just ask them and you'll find out."
Ling Yi looked at Hu Ji: "Your mother is the Demon Clan Empress, Hu Ziyue?"
"How did you know?" Hu Ji exclaimed in surprise.
"It really is you!"
According to the original text of the "novel", the Demon Clan is experiencing internal power struggles.
Empress Hu Ziyue of the Demon Clan was the weaker party. For her daughter's safety, she sent Hu Ji out of the Demon Clan's territory.
That is, the Azure Dragon Domain.
The Azure Dragon Domain is adjacent to the Southern Wilderness Domain.
However, they were still hunted down by powerful Demon Clan.
To save her life, Hu Ji had no choice but to use a secret technique to Self-Destruct Seventh Tier cultivation, thus escaping death.
However, his cultivation level also dropped to the Second Tier.
By sheer chance, they entered the Heavenly Mysterious Sect through the Teleport Array in the Beast Gorge.
The Seventh Tier is equivalent to a cultivator in the Body Integration Realm. One more step and one can Tribulation Transcendence and become an immortal.
The two-tailed white fox that Ling Yi encountered in Beast Gorge was Hu Ji.
What Ling Yi didn't know was that while he used his life energy to heal Hu Ji, he also strengthened the white fox's bloodline.
It was precisely because of this that the white fox was able to break through to the Pinnacle of the Third Tier in just a few months.
Equivalent to a cultivator at the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm.
And it takes shape in advance.
After leaving the Heavenly Mysterious Sect using the Teleport Array in the Beast Gorge, they happened to encounter disciples of the Wondrous Sound Sect being bullied by disciples of the Cold Nether Sect.
He then stepped in to save her.
Then, naturally, he joined the Wondrous Sound Sect.
The bloodline of Demonic Beast, like the Spiritual Root of human cultivators, is extremely difficult to improve.
Hu Ji knew very well what Ling Yi's ability to help people improve their bloodline meant to the Demon Clan.
Previously, Hu Ji had used the Teleport Array in Beast Gorge to return to the Heavenly Mysterious Sect and look for Ling Yi.
But by then, Ling Yi was already living in Qin Yuran's cave.
Hu Ji dared not Probe further and could only retreat.
Just then, the Demon-Subduing Secret Realm opened, and the Wondrous Sound Sect happened to have ten slots available.
Hu Ji then applied for this spot and came to the Heavenly Mysterious Sect.
Her only goal was to find Ling Yi.
In the original novel, Ling Yi and Hu Ji did indeed cross paths at this point.
It was by chance that Ling Yi saved the injured Hu Ji.
However, Ling Yi in the "original text" does not have the Life Devouring Entry, so he cannot help Hu Ji recover quickly.
During the rescue process, the human and the demon gradually developed a friendship.
After Hu Ji took human form, he gradually developed feelings for her and became the female lead.
Qin Yuran looked at Ling Yi teasingly and said, "This is your leading lady."
Ling Yi rolled her eyes. "The female lead in 'Ghost Story,' I'm not that Ling Yi."
The Hu Ji listened in vain.
What are you talking about? What female lead? What do you mean it's not that Ling Yi?
"How dare you, a Demon Clan princess, come to the side of the Human Clan cultivators? And how did you manage to deceive the Human Clan experts and join the sect?" Ling Yi asked Hu Ji curiously.
In the original text, Hu Ji did not possess this ability.
Even after transforming into human form, Hu Ji's identity as Demon Clan still caused her to participate in many story events.
But now, Ling Yi couldn't discern Hu Ji's identity Demon Clan at all.
That's really impressive.
Hu Ji glanced at Qin Yuran and Qin Ya, implying that they were outsiders and this matter couldn't be discussed.
"Go ahead and say it, we're all on the same side!"
Hu Ji shook her head again. "This matter can only be discussed with you privately."
The secret to enhancing one's bloodline is far too important for Hu Ji to reveal lightly.
Ling Yi shrugged. "Then let's talk about it after the secret realm ends."
"Okay!" Hu Ji nodded, this was exactly what she wanted.
