Qin Yun believed it was in the bag when Ancestral Master Zhang mentioned that he was eighty percent confident .

“It was not easy for me to lure him out of his nest . I had also made adequate preparations . ” Ancestral Master Zhang shook his head . “I never expected him to have a rare life-preservation item just for fleeing . I failed to restrain him too . But in fact, killing him has little influence over the Great Chang world . What’s most important of all is my wish to know… why he wants to conquer our Great Chang world . “

“Does our Great Chang world have some senior’s cave abode? Some treasure? Or does the Great Chang world hold some secret of the fiendish way?” asked Qin Yun .

“I have traversed every spot in the Great Chang world the past few years . I have thoroughly checked the land and sea . East Sea Skydragon and Brother Bai have both searched meticulously as well . ” Ancestral Master Zhang shook his head . “We have not discovered anything special about our Great Chang world . “

Qin Yun nodded . “Back when Yi Xiao was abducted, I searched the world and did so very meticulously . I even used the Eye of Lightning to seek treasures but failed to find anything special . “

“The more it can’t be found, the more uneasy I become,” said Ancestral Master Zhang .

“Senior Brother, the Great Chang world is a Small World . Golden Immortals and Buddha mighty figures are unable to descend into our world . Our homeworld’s Heavenly Dao is on our side as well, repressing the fiendcelestials . As long as you, with your strength, are here, I believe any schemes the fiendcelestials concoct are little more than wishful thinking,” said Qin Yun .

“The fiendcelestials can forget about succeeding as long as I’m in the Great Chang world,” said Ancestral Master Zhang . Following that, he looked at Qin Yun . “Junior Brother Qin Yun, I attained such strength by using the Myriad Dharma Pool . Improving further will be difficult . Your talent and perceptivity are probably above mine… You have to quickly improve yourself to join forces with me and increase our chances . “

“I understand . ” Qin Yun nodded .

Ancestral Master Zhang felt a little more relieved . All these years, he had been quite alone in the Great Chang world . It was because all the Skyimmortals and Skydemons were weaker than him .

Now, he finally saw someone that had a chance of chasing up to him .

…

Moments later, Ancestral Master Zhang left .

Qin Yun sat cross-legged by the side of the mirror lake when Yi Xiao came over .

“Brother Yun, didn’t Ancestral Master Zhang mention that he entered the Star Cluster Hall?” asked Yi Xiao . “Why do I feel that he lacks confidence?”

“He truly went all-out, exposing his true strength . If the fiendcelestials were to take action again, they would definitely be fully prepared,” said Qin Yun . “And most importantly of all, he has reached a bottleneck . It’s going be difficult for him to raise his strength any further for quite a while; thus, he is naturally worried . “

Yi Xiao nodded gently .

“I plan on heading to Green Touring Palace after finishing my meal today,” said Qin Yun .

“How long will you be gone this time?” asked Yi Xiao .

“No idea, but it shouldn’t be long . “

“Alright . “

Yi Xiao nodded and said with a smile, “Then, I’ll personally cook for you today . ” With that said, she left .

Qin Yun smiled as he watched his wife leave before closing his eyes .

“Chi!”

Endless starlight emitted from Qin Yun’s body that washed over the surroundings . Instantly, his surroundings were covered in a gorgeous starry scene .

From a distant stellar space, limitless stellar forces tore through and descended upon his surroundings . They each gathered into stellar phantoms the size of a fist and made 360 stellar phantoms total . There was stellar light swirling amid them, making the entire area form a world of its own .

Qin Yun commanded with his mind . “Change . “

Each of the stellar phantoms condensed from stellar forces slowly transformed into a Sword of Stellar Light .

Soon, there were 360 Swords of Stellar Light that drove the stellar forces .

“After I gathered enough treasures, I only took a year to get a basic grasp of these two great divine powers . However, making any further improvements would be a lot more difficult . ” Qin Yun thought nothing much of it in the past since simply grasping the great divine powers was very difficult to begin with . Qin Yun had only taken a year to gain a basic grasp because his Sword Dao happened to complement the two divine powers well and because his Sword Dao realm was quite high .

It was only normal that the subsequent cultivation would go slowly .

However, Qin Yun felt that he should try to improve himself and breakthrough as soon as possible .

“Engaging in the painstaking work of slowly improving and chasing a breakthrough is just too difficult . I’d probably spend thousands of years if I did that,” thought Qin Yun . “It’s better if I cultivate my Sword Dao . Once it’s realm is high, the cultivation of a divine power becomes faster as well . “

The Dao was fundamental .

At a high realm, divine powers, Dharmic powers, Dharma spells, and a self-created Dharmic formulation would all come relatively easier .

“Having been back in my homeworld for three years now, I have learned plenty from the Hundred Great White Yang Metal Sword Art and the other four sword manuals . I’m beginning to enter a bottleneck . I hope I can make a breakthrough by using the special grounds in Green Touring Palace,” thought Qin Yun .

That day, he had lunch with his wife and daughter before he departed the Great Chang world for the Green Touring Palace .

“Whoosh—”

Qin Yun appeared in Green Touring Palace .

Green Touring Palace’s temperature was much colder than his homeworld’s . Absorbing the Heaven and Earth spiritual energies into his body seemed to lighten his body . As the Dao residence of Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure, even an ordinary yard in Green Touring Palace had much better cultivation effects than a specially constructed chamber in his homeworld, to say nothing of the palace’s actual cultivation grounds .

“Why is there such a bustle?” Qin Yun saw a group of senior brothers and sisters gathered in the distance .

“Junior Brother Qin Yun . ” A azure-robed female cultivator took one step forward when she saw him . Phasing away, she appeared beside him .

“Senior Sister Lan,” greeted Qin Yun with a smile .

“Junior Brother, seriously! You were gone for more than three years and never came back once . ” The female cultivator smiled as she leaned close to him .

Qin Yun slightly dodged her and smiled immediately, “Senior Sister, what’s happening up ahead? Is someone sparring? Why are so many fellow disciples gathered?”

“No, it’s Senior Brother Feng . He’s declared he’ll be giving pointers to his junior brothers and sisters . Therefore, a bunch of fellow disciples have rushed over . ” Only then did the female cultivator stand up straight .

“Senior Brother Feng?” Qin Yun was puzzled .

“Skyimmortal Feng Li . ” The female cultivator said wistfully, “Senior Brother Feng’s wind-riding divine power is very impressive . Typical ninth firmament Skyimmortals can be blown to a bloody mush by his wind . He is even able to escape mighty figure with it . The people gathered there to seek Senior Brother Feng’s help are likely skilled in wind-riding techniques . “

“I see . ” Qin Yun nodded .

“It’s the same with Green Touring Palace . The stronger one is, the more you are extolled . ” The female cultivator sighed before changing topics . “By the way, did you know that Master took in a disciple one year ago?”

“Isn’t it normal for Master to take in disciples?” asked Qin Yun with a smile .

“It’s different . “

She shook her head gently . “This disciple has been summoned by Master three times over the span of a year . “

“What, he was summoned three times?” Qin Yun was astonished .

Under normal circumstances, Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor would only give a disciple guidance once before they became a Golden Immortal .

“This junior brother’s name is Yu Gui,” whispered the female cultivator . “I heard that he was quite dimwitted from a young age and had never cultivated at all . At fifteen, he saw a monolith surface in a river . After seeing the patterns on the monolith, he stood watching it in a daze for three days and was directly enlightened in the Dao, reaching the Skyimmortal realm instantly . “

“What?” Qin Yun was stunned . “He had never cultivated before but suddenly reached the Skyimmortal realm after three days of Dao enlightenment?”

“Then, Master appeared before him and brought him to Green Touring Palace . ” The female cultivator sighed . “He was guided very carefully and was summoned thrice in a year . Junior Brother Yu is presently a sixth firmament Skyimmortal . “

Qin Yun felt a little lost for words .

“Many of our fellow disciples are envious of him . Master is indeed biased towards our junior brother but envy amounts to nothing,” said the female cultivator helplessly .

“We already owe Master for teaching us once . Why should we harp on such matters?” Qin Yun shook his head .

“We are guessing that Junior Brother Yu… might have some serious background . ” The female cultivator whispered, “Perhaps he’s the reincarnation of some important figure . “

…

On the way, he had a series of simple exchanges with the senior brothers and sisters he was familiar with .

An hour later, he came to the periphery of Green Touring Palace . There was a tiny trail that led deep into the clouds .

Qin Yun stepped into it .

“Broken Sword Valley should be very suitable for my Sword Dao cultivation . ” Qin Yun continued proceeding .

“Whoosh~” The wind inside began to turn increasingly forceful .

He arrived at a mountain valley after a few minutes of walking . There were swords embedded in the valley . Some were intact or in damaged states . At a glance, he saw more than ten thousand swords as Sword Qi filled the valley .

There were mountain peaks surrounding the valley . Many Green Touring Palace disciples were cultivating at these mountaintops, the mountainside, and even the cliffs of the numerous mountains .

“There are more than two hundred disciples cultivating here in seclusion? Some of them have probably been cultivating for a very long time . ” Qin Yun sighed inwardly as he swept his surroundings with his gaze . He chose a spot on the mountainside and, with a step forward, whistled over .

When he landed on the mountainside, he waved his hand, carving out a spot about ten feet across .

Following that, he sat cross-legged .

He closed his eyes and could clearly sense a terrifying sword intent permeate the surrounding void .
