Qin Yu bid farewell to the Destruction Labyrinth, tearing through the void and crossing several spatial barriers before stepping into the Void Dharma Realm once more. The Chi Lineage's territory remained vast and boundless, with thousands of ancient palaces suspended in the void. Continuous source patterns crisscrossed, flowing like an ancient river, and profound Daoist charm permeated the eight wastelands.
Inside the main hall of the Chi Lineage, Chi Boqian sat in the main seat, with Chi Ninghua, Chi Tongyue, and Chi Xiyue standing quietly on either side. No one spoke, but their brows were much more relaxed than before.
The malignant tumor that had lurked within the Chi Lineage for decades has been eradicated, and Chi Qianyuan has died and his path has ended; Ju Zhongying, who secretly colluded with external enemies, has also been brought to justice. A major calamity that had plagued the Chi and Ju clans has been averted before it even began.
Just then, a faint ripple appeared in the void outside the main hall. Qin Yu stepped out from the spatial passage. Chi Boqian, who had been keeping his eyes closed, slowly opened them, immediately stood up, and a gentle smile spread across his face.
"Young friend Qin, you're finally back." His gaze fell on Qin Yu, his divine sense sweeping over him subtly. "Did you encounter any trouble on your journey Return Path?" Qin Yu slowly walked into the main hall, his expression as composed as ever, only his eyes flickering slightly. " On my Return Path, I passed the boundary of the Destruction Labyrinth and encountered three Shangguan Lineage cultivators blocking my path, intending to forcibly seize my storage crystal core."
His tone was flat, as if he were merely recounting a trivial matter. "It's all been taken care of."
As soon as the words were spoken, Chi Ninghua, Chi Tongyue, and Chi Xiyue all turned their gazes to Qin Yu, but they were not too shocked. Having traveled together all the way, they already knew that this young man could not be judged by the standards of an ordinary Eternal Silence Realm Initial Stage cultivator.
Qin Yu gently flipped his palm, and two special Fate Soul imprints slowly appeared in mid-air. One was the token used by Ju Zhongying and Hua Yin to communicate; the other contained traces of communication secretly laid by Hua Yin.
He raised his hand and handed the mark to Chi Boqian. "Senior, this is the Fate Soul mark that connects Ju Zhongying and Hua Yin. I carefully preserved it after I noticed it that day, and now the evidence is conclusive, enough to prove that the two have been secretly colluding for a long time."
Chi Boqian reached out and took the mark, then immersed his divine sense into it to examine it carefully. After a moment, his eyes lit up slightly, and he looked up at Qin Yu, his approval undisguised.
"Excellent! Young friend Qin, you are meticulous and far-sighted. If you hadn't kept this evidence, it wouldn't have been so easy to completely prove Ju Zhongying's treason."
He carefully stored the mark, then turned to look at everyone in the hall, "The spies from both clans have been completely eliminated. The day after tomorrow is the start of the Four Great Lineage Grand Competition. You have all worked tirelessly these past few days tracking down the spies."
Chi Boqian stood up, his expression calm. "For the next two days, everyone should focus on recuperation and adjust to their peak condition. I still need to go to the Ju Lineage to finalize many details of the competition with the Ju Lineage patriarch."
Everyone nodded in unison. "Yes, sir." Before long, Chi Xiyue and Chi Tongyue bowed and took their leave, Chi Boqian also left the main hall, and Qin Yu left with Chi Ninghua.
... At the same time, in the depths of the Grand Elder's palace in the Hua Lineage, in a dark and silent secret room, Hua Yin sat cross-legged, the demonic patterns flowing around his body gradually stabilizing. His Fate Soul essence, which had been severely injured by Qin Yu, had recovered more than half. Although it was still far from its peak, it no longer hindered his movements.
He slowly opened his eyes, a flash of blood-red lightning appearing and disappearing in them. "Qin Yu... you just wait!!" His deep murmur echoed through the secret chamber, the chilling killing intent lingering.
Hua Yin flipped his hand, and a familiar Fate Soul mark appeared in his palm. It was the token he used to communicate with Ju Zhongying. He was about to activate the mark to transmit the message when his movements suddenly froze.
Within the mark, the wisp of soul imprint he had left behind disappeared completely, leaving no trace.
Hua Yin's pupils contracted sharply. "What happened??? This is impossible!" He exerted all his divine sense to search inside, but no matter how he probed, he couldn't find even a trace of Ju Zhongying's aura. His face instantly turned ashen. "Something's happened? Could Ju Zhongying have met with some misfortune?" His breathing became increasingly heavy.
During his seclusion to heal his injuries, he deliberately avoided contacting Ju Zhongying. In his overall plan, Ju Zhongying was the most crucial hidden pawn planted in the Ju Lineage, and he could not easily expose her until the decisive moment.
Now that the chess pieces have lost their connection, Hua Yin suddenly stood up, countless images flashing through his mind: Qin Yu, the battle at the ancient house, the lingering Soul Sound Talisman... A chill suddenly crept into his heart. "Not good! Could it be that the young man had already sensed something that day?" His hands clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white.
"If Qin Yu records all the clues, the Chi and Ju families can follow the trail and expose all the hidden spies!"
For the first time, Hua Yin felt a genuine unease. He believed his decades-long plan was meticulously crafted, yet Qin Yu's sudden appearance had repeatedly disrupted all his schemes. Hua Yin's eyes darkened, and without further hesitation, he took a step forward, his figure dissolving into the void of the secret chamber. "Qin Yu... what exactly is your background?"
Amidst turbulent undercurrents and intertwined strategic moves, the entire Eternal Nonexistence Limitless Domain enters its most magnificent era in history, with the five ultimate multidimensional universes experiencing unprecedented clamor and upheaval.
In the First Multidimensional Universe, in the Skeleton Star Sea, ancient warships cleaved through the vast starry sky, their hulls engraved with ancient Dao patterns that had stood the test of time, and starlight flowed around them. Cultivators from all sides rode the wind across the void, arriving in droves to this place. This sea of stars was the territory where the Hua Lineage had taken root and established themselves.
In the Second Multidimensional Universe, in the Destruction Labyrinth, reclusive powerhouses who had long lain dormant in the depths of the void emerged from their secluded cultivation. Fragments of shattered worlds drifted slowly with the turbulent void currents. This perilous land was the territory controlled by the Shangguan Lineage for generations.
In the Third Multidimensional Universe, on the Annihilation Continent, ancient cities stretching for thousands of miles are bustling with activity, and visitors from all directions gather in the streets. Countless young prodigies concentrate their minds, meditate, and prepare for the coming of a great era. The Ju Lineage has established itself on this continent.
In the Fourth Multidimensional Universe, the Void Dharma Realm, the Chi Lineage's territory reigns supreme, with the first city in the north standing tall and majestic. This place can be called the supreme holy city that carries heritage and governs order, with palaces floating in the void and the ancient river of the Source Dao flowing endlessly.
The Fifth Multidimensional Universe, the Primordial Grave, where ancient forces have slumbered for countless epochs, has broken its long silence and begun to send envoys from beyond its domain. These envoys have broken through numerous barriers and ventured into the outside world. The five great end-times multidimensional universes are all in turmoil, and countless eyes are fixed on one place.
All the commotion and noise stem from only one thing— the Four Great Lineage Grand Competition is about to begin. This is an unprecedented event that has been passed down through countless years in the Eternal Nonexistence Limitless Domain.
Through the changing ages, the Lineage Chi, Hua, Ju, and Shangguan stand at the pinnacle of the Eternal Nonexistence Limitless Domain, wielding the Source Dao Ultimate Beast Huang and possessing countless ancient treasures and ancient lineages.
Each Grand Competition is not merely an arena for four young prodigies to compete, but also a crucial opportunity for all forces in the entire Eternal Nonexistence Limitless Domain to observe the overall trend of the situation and predict future events.
Reclusive clans, solitary Rogue Cultivator, ancient relics slumbering for millennia... countless beings are converging on the Void Dharma Realm.
Everyone eagerly awaits to witness firsthand what kind of unparalleled genius will emerge from this grand competition, and what kind of earth-shattering storm will sweep across the five-dimensional universe.
Countless Rogue Cultivator, reclusive clans, and even ancient beings slumbering for millennia converged on the Void Dharma Realm, all eager to witness firsthand what unparalleled geniuses would rise in this grand competition and what earth-shattering storms they would unleash.
In the territory of the Chi Lineage Primordial Unity Palace, a streak of light pierced the vast sky and gently landed before a magnificent palace. Qin Yu and Chi Ninghua walked side by side, and just as they crossed the palace gate, before even stepping into the inner courtyard, they saw two figures standing there quietly, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
A gentle night breeze rustled through the grass and trees in the courtyard. The two men's eyes turned to Qin Yu, and two sounds rang out almost simultaneously.
"Brother Yu!" "Qin Yu!" Qin Yu paused slightly and slowly raised his head. The moment he saw the person's face, a long-lost smile finally appeared in his usually calm and composed eyes.
"Qingchen." "Qingyuan." Standing in front were Shen Qingchen and Su Qingyuan. The two quickly stepped forward, but instead of catching up, they stopped and bowed to Chi Ninghua.
"Greetings, Elder Ninghua." Chi Ninghua looked at the two young people and nodded slightly. She knew that the three had a deep connection and had heard many stories from Chi Xiyue along the way. Her gentle gaze swept over the three of them, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"You two haven't seen each other for a long time, and I'm sure you have a lot to talk about, so I won't disturb you any longer."
She turned to Qin Yu and softly instructed, "Your palace for resting has been arranged; the Starlight Palace in the back is it. After you've finished catching up, you can go there to rest."
