Chapter 246

A wisp of Godfiend power flew out of Qin Yun’s body, permeating the Stone of the Earth in front of him . The instant it penetrated the stone—

“Boom!”

His mind went into a buzz .

In Qin Yun’s perception, he ‘saw’ an exceptionally profound runic pattern . On it, there were all sorts of runes that were constantly in flux . The Highwarrior Three Volumes cultivation manual had a total of six runic patterns and it was said that comprehending the sixth runic pattern would allow one to achieve the third Firmament of the Godfiend realm . But at that moment, the runic patterns that Qin Yun sensed from the Stone of the Earth seemed more profound than the sixth runic pattern .

Stately, expansive, strength, the land…

Qin Yun felt that he was seeing a portion of the Heavenly Dao’s maneuvering and it moved his heart .

“Acquiring comprehension of the Dao in the morning leaves one contented even if one dies in the evening . “

“I have been cultivating my sword all this while and today, I have finally seen the Dao for myself . “

Qin Yun was filled with excitement .

At that moment, the mysterious powers in the Stone of the Earth surged into Qin Yun’s body .

His blood was boiling as every muscle, bone, meridian, and organ—down to the very last cell—rejoiced . The original third Firmament Mortal realm runic pattern on his most important organ—his heart—seemed to be covered in countless networks both inside and outside . Now, the runic network was being guided by the Stone of the Earth’s mysterious power and very naturally, it began to form even smaller runic patterns . His body was also absorbing the energy from the Immortal Crystals around him . As the energies surged into his body, they catalyzed the transformation of his heart .

“With the Stone of the Earth and so many Heaven Earth Essence Crystals, my strength would slowly increase even if I did not cultivate, probably causing me to step into the Godfiend realm in a few decades,” thought Qin Yun . “The Connate Godfiend Highwarrior loaned me this Stone of the Earth to cultivate for a hundred years . That shows how highly he thinks of me . He probably hopes I can cultivate to an even higher realm . “

“Previously, without any external help, it would have taken me half a month to comprehend the fourth runic pattern with my Paramount realm insights . “

“And with so much external help… I’ll make the breakthrough now!”

Qin Yun gave a mental command .

Countless golden runic patterns began to spread all over his heart . Some remained on the surface of his heart while others were buried within . Instantly, a gigantic three-dimensional runic pattern took form!

His heart was palpitating with the undulating changes .

Boisterous power surged from the Immortal Crystals constantly into his heart, causing his heart to constantly produce Godfiend blood that spread throughout his body . His body rapidly transformed, metamorphosing from the Mortal realm to the Godfiend realm .

This transformation was truly a quantum leap in realm .

…

With the Immortal Crystals’ help, it took just ten minutes for Qin Yun to step into the Godfiend realm . His body’s metamorphosis was completed and his soul was rapidly enhanced during the breakthrough . Although the speed had slowed down and required a long period of nurturing, it would still take a month or two to complete the enhancement .

“Godfiend realm?” On the ten-foot-wide Immortal Crystal, the cross-legged Qin Yun opened his eyes . He extended his hands and gently clenched them .

“Boom!”

When he made a fist, it caused the air around him to gently tremble .

“No wonder Connate Godfiend descendants employ such crude combat moves . The advantage their bodies have is just too apparent,” thought Qin Yun . “I have cultivated for many years and grasped three Paramount realms, and only by giving my all can I produce the final killer move Samsara that can barely reach the might of immortals and fiendcelestials . But now, by entering the Godfiend realm, just my strength alone can match my Samsara flying sword art . “

“Perhaps it is greatly lacking in profundity and would be completely decimated by a flying sword art but if I cultivate in a few more divine powers, my attacks would be a lot more powerful than Samsara . After all, I can only cast Samsara two or three times . “

Qin Yun sighed emotively in secret .

“Haha . “

“Whatever, this is only a world formed by the hundred-years dream . “

“Here, my body and soul’s enhancements are all fake . When I wake from my dream, I’ll return to my true body . ” Qin Yun gave a self-deprecating laugh . “Only enlightenment in the Heavenly Dao can be brought back to reality . “

“However, my comprehension will be much faster after the qualitative change in my soul . ” Qin Yun was delighted .

He looked at the Stone of the Earth in front of him . “It seems that this Stone of the Earth is the source of the Highwarrior family’s bloodline . It’s more intricate than the sixth runic pattern! It’s no wonder that it is the Spiritual Companion Item of the Connate Godfiend, Highwarrior . “

Although Qin Yun had broken through, he was inside the Fire Phoenix Nest and constantly absorbing energy from the Immortal Crystals, so he did not cause a commotion in the outside world .

…

After the breakthrough, Qin Yun was in no hurry to leave . Instead, he continued cultivating .

The Stone of the Earth was the source of the Highwarrior bloodline and a manifestation of the Dao! However, the Highwarrior bloodline’s Dao that it represented was known as the Dao of the land! The ‘defense’ Paramount realm he comprehended was also a tiny portion of the Dao of the land .

In a blink of an eye, half a year passed .

The chamber’s stone door opened .

Qin Yun walked across the surface of the lake, his body’s aura was clearly immense .

“Wing from the Highwarrior family, you are out . ” The clansman who was responsible for watching the area could not help but yell happily from afar . Following that, he became astonished . “You have reached the Godfiend realm?”

“Yea, I just broke through,” said Qin Yun . However, he was thinking to himself, “If you were to know that I immediately broke through the moment I began my seclusion, you would probably get quite a scare . After all, even the Heavenly Dao intent realm will require about four months to make a breakthrough . “

“I’ll inform the Elders . ” The clansman immediately departed .

Qin Yun walked onto the bank .

He saw clansmen paying attention to him from a distance away . They were familiar people . In the past, Wing was a junior at the second Firmament of the Mortal realm and they were obviously very casual with him . But when Qin Yun took over, he reached the third Firmament of the Mortal realm during the coming of age ceremony and then defeated General Yuchang . Now, he had reached the Godfiend realm after a seclusion, making him instantly become an Elder of the Godfiend Temple . His status was now completely different and they did not dare act too casually with him .

“This strength . ” Qin Yun felt his body’s immense strength as well as the limitations the Heavenly Dao had on him . “I can now sense the limitations the Heavenly Dao has placed on me . If I were to violate them, I’d receive heavenly punishment . “

“But since I’m alive, unless I enter seclusion forever and never make contact with other sentient beings, I will ultimately generate karma and the tribulations will befall me . “

Tribulations .

They differed in strength .

The strong ones could even cause him to die instantly .

“That’s right . “

“In life, there has to be something to fear . Mortals are afraid of influence, experts, and strength . Even those who attain immortality are afraid of the heavens,” thought Qin Yun . “If I were to live truly unbridled, I would probably treat countless mortals like ants . I would even engage in war heedlessly, rendering the world asunder . The rules that the heavens created make life better for all living beings . “

As Qin Yun was pondering over the matter, a group of Elders rushed over from afar . Leading them was the black-robed Elder, Firephoenix Youxu .

Achievement of the Godfiend realm also meant that one was a Godfiend existence . The group of Elders was naturally all Godfiends .

“Wing . ” The black-robed Elder Firephoenix Youxu looked at Qin Yun joyfully . “It’s awesome that you were able to break through to the Godfiend realm in half a year’s time . “

“Our Fire Phoenix City has an additional Godfiend now . “

“Haha . Wing, cultivate well and perhaps you can reach a higher realm in the future . “

All the Elders were rejoicing .

Every major war would see generations of Godfiends die in battle . As such, every birth of a new Godfiend made them happy . As long as there was no end to the production of Godfiends and future generations became stronger, they would eventually clinch the ultimate victory .

“Wing, you came here to cultivate after completing the Coming of Age ceremony,” said Firephoenix Youxu with a smile . “You haven’t taken up a name yet, right?”

“I’ve thought of a name,” said Qin Yun .

“You came up a name for yourself? What is it?” All the Elders looked at Qin Yun .

“Qinyun,” said Qin Yun .

“Qinyun?” The Elders were puzzled . “Highwarrior Qinyun?”

“Which Qin and which Yun?”

Everyone pressed for an answer as Qin Yun explained the characters .

“Highwarrior Qinyun?” Everyone memorized this name .

“This name is a little odd . “

“I think it’s not bad . Your name is Muqi . I think it’s worse than Qinyun . “

“As long as he likes it . From this day forth, my Fire Phoenix City will have an additional Godfiend—Highwarrior Qinyun!” The Elders were feeling extremely delighted . As for the name? Names in this world were chosen without much thought . They randomly selected a nickname in their youth . If they reached a dignified status, they would have a surname and a name! Names could take any form . For example, Youxu or Muqi . Even Connate Godfiends had rather random names, such as Firephoenix, Highwarrior, and Heavenshroud .

…

From that moment forth, the nickname Wing was history . Highwarrior Qinyun officially took his place on the stage of humanity, becoming one of the many Godfiends in humanity’s nine great cities .

Time passed as Qin Yun continued cultivating in peace after his breakthrough . Nothing major happened in that time . Before he knew it, ten years passed .
