The Pagoda Refines the Heart, a Contingency in Reserve!
"This is the Heart-Refining Pagoda..."
"Third-Tier auxiliary magic Law Treasure, hailed as the number one treasure of the Northern Province."
The Fawen murmured softly, their eyes gleaming. It wasn't that Clear Void Abbey Temple lacked third -Third-Tier Law Treasure Third-Tier Law Treasure, but rather that they could utilize them for cultivation opportunities...
Those are very few and far between!
Let alone him, even several Qi Condensation cultivators wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous or arrogant upon seeing this. To even venture into such a precious treasure...
If you're lucky, that's a tremendous opportunity!
"Please, everyone!"
Qin Hui gestured for them to enter, and the pagoda's doors slowly opened, revealing wisps of mysterious light. Before anyone could react...
A suction force instantly pulled everyone present in!
The scene changes --
Qin Mingyuan slowly stood up, looking around at the empty space, his feet sinking into the vast expanse of scorched earth, his eyes glazed over...
The sound of flames burning came from behind!
Looking back, all that could be seen were the Twenty-Four Peaks and the entire Baxuan Immortal City, all engulfed by fire, with ruins and broken walls everywhere...
There were no cries, no wails!
He saw his grandfather, Qin Lu, nailed to the vast earth; he saw his father, his chest pierced, sitting cross-legged in the river...
He saw his eldest and second uncles fall from the sky like meteors...
He saw his brothers and sisters lying dead on the ground, one by one...
It was as if he was the only one left alive in the entire world!
"..."
Qin Mingyuan moved his lips, the slight twitching revealing the unease in his heart—was it fear, or perhaps utter despair?
He stood there, stunned, unable to recover for a long time!
Although he clearly saw everything through his Spirit-Observing Dao Eyes, his heart remained restless.
"Fake..."
"It's all fake."
"The Qin Clan cannot perish! The Great Qin will forever stand tall on this earth, how could it possibly perish!"
As Qin Mingyuan murmured to himself, his eyes slowly focused and he came back to his senses!
Then the surrounding scenery vanished like smoke in the wind...
When the scene changes again--
A completely new illusion formed, and in just a few moments, Qin Mingyuan was once again captivated. This time, everything seemed exceptionally beautiful...
He now has a mother; he is no longer a child without a mother...
His father never left; he always stayed by his side...
The Lineage is thriving, everything is just right!
"That child Mingyuan, his Dao heart is second only to Minghan, and his divine soul is second only to Mingzheng. He has already entered the third level of Heart Refinement..."
"This speed is much faster than both of ours!"
"I wonder if Mingyuan can get some advice from that tower spirit. By the way, was that tower spirit's consciousness really completely erased?"
"Would a Soul Dao Foundation cultivator really have no backup plan...?"
Qin Zhuang, monitoring the pagoda, couldn't help but feel a little worried, while Qin Hui beside him had a relaxed expression, seemingly without any concern whatsoever...
You~
"Back then, my father personally sealed that Ghost Elder's soul inside, and after tempering it, his consciousness was completely erased!"
"Even if there are ghosts, this tower has become a prison."
"Don't worry, he can't escape. Even if he develops a completely new spiritual consciousness, he won't be able to leave this Heart-Refining Pagoda..."
Qin Hui was relieved, after all, he had been involved in the entire process of forging this tower, and had even proposed the Heart-Refining Pagoda plan...
He was the first to propose all of these!
I never imagined that what I originally intended as a treasure to hone the skills of future generations would turn into a supreme treasure, capable of Dao of Refining heart and comprehending the Dao Rhyme!
It was a twist of fate, a kind of fortuitous opportunity!
An unknown amount of time passed inside the Heart-Refining Pagoda.
Qin Mingyuan slowly opened his eyes. This was the sixth time he had stepped out of the illusion...
Before him appeared a semi-transparent black-robed phantom, its back hunched, exuding an air of mystery...
Others might not know, but Qin Mingyuan certainly did.
This is the remnant soul of a Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator, forcibly refined into this pagoda while still alive. Such a method is undeniably cruel...
Or perhaps it's a different kind of art!
"Senior Tower Spirit, this junior, Qin Mingyuan, pays his respects."
Upon hearing this—
The tower spirit nodded blankly, then a withered voice slowly rang out:
"Lacking in aptitude, yet possessing a perfect mind; lacking in Daoist techniques, yet with a steadfast Daoist heart..."
"The Qin Clan's Secret Method, the [Cauldron Primordial Dao-Seeking Method], can enhance one's aptitude, but it easily allows evil influences to take hold. Those without a firm Daoist heart should not use it lightly..."
"The upper part of the Daoist method [Cloud-Transforming Spirit Breath Scripture] can be cultivated to the point of Qi Condensation Completion, allowing one to comprehend the three Dao Rhyme: [Cloud Breath], [Hazy Illusion], and [Cloud Beginning]..."
"This method is High Antiquity Secret Method, specifically designed for cultivators with unwavering resolve."
"Looking at you, your eyes gleam with intelligence."
"It is speculated to be an acquired mutated spiritual eye, similar to the Innate Spirit Physique: the Illusion-Breaking True Pupils, belonging to the most special type of Acquired Spirit Physique..."
"Bestow upon you the Secret Method for observing the eye: Qi Observation, Void Breaking, Intimidation!"
After saying that --
The three scrolls fell into Qin Mingyuan's hands. Before he knew it, he had already walked out of the Heart-Refining Pagoda...
The three scrolls then turned into smoke and dust and vanished...
At the same time, three streams of information flooded into my mind, as if they were engraved deep within it. Without memorizing them, all sorts of information simply surfaced in my mind!
"How amazing..."
"The Cloud-Transforming Spirit Breath Scripture, is this Daoist manual in the Wenge Pavilion...?"
"There are also those who specialize in cultivating the Spirit Eye Technique, Spirit Observation enhance their observation of Spiritual Power, and even their observation of all things in the world..."
"Void Breaking strengthens one's resistance to illusion and illusion-like spells."
"Intimidation, strengthens one's aura, and can unleash a soul attack similar to a soul strike through the Spirit Eye..."
"Simply..."
"It's like it was made just for me!"
"These are all High Antiquity Secret Method preserved in the Tower Spirit's memories. No wonder the Heart-Refining Pagoda is said to be the number one treasure of the Northern Province..."
"Well deserved!"
A few days later--
The Heart-Refining Pagoda closed, and all twenty-five people in the group gained something. However, judging from their expressions, some had reaped considerable rewards, while others were greatly disappointed...
It's just fate; we can't blame anyone else.
After the foreigners had left.
On Muxuan Mountain--
Qin Lu found Qin Xiao and Qin Hui, and the three of them sat in a secluded courtyard on the mountaintop, drinking tea and watching the clouds, seemingly soaring among the sea of clouds...
Such a beautiful scene must be like that of a fairyland.
"In a few days, I will be away for a while, and I will be entrusting the clan to you two brothers. Do not be careless..."
"As for the Nangong Clan, I have made a three-year alliance with Nangong Qinghong."
"If Nangong returns alive, then we can discuss everything further. If Nangong does not return in time, we will launch an attack on Southern Province three years from now!"
"In addition..."
"Keep a close eye on the Beigao Clan. Send the Shadow Secret Guard this time; they must ascertain the number of cultivators the Beigao Clan possesses..."
"Once I return, I will seize the opportunity to eliminate the Gao Clan!"
"But if your father does not return soon, then run away, run as far away as possible, change your name, flee overseas, or go to a distant land..."
But remember, as long as you're alive, there's hope.
