Chapter 700: 700

Qin Yun and company could not help but feel delighted when they passed through the Chaos spatial rift and sensed the Three Realms from a distance .

Amid their excitement, there was a lingering fear even as they rejoiced returning safe and sound .

“During this trip to the spatial tide, we have been taught the lesson how there’s always someone stronger than us,” said Hou Yi with a smile . “Even with the four of us joining forces, we were nearly taken down by Bohan Island Lord . “

“We encountered half-step Heavenly Dao realms one after another and up to meeting Bohan Island Lord, Goumang and I could only watch the both of you fight with your lives from the sidelines,” said Kong Xuan .

“It was indeed a harrowing experience . If I do not have a further breakthrough in strength, I won’t head to the spatial tide again,” said Qin Yun . “Of course, I have to first transcend the Itinerant Immortal tribulation . “

“Brother Qin Yun, if you are unable to transcend it, I’m afraid no Itinerant Immortal in the Three Realms will be able to transcend it in the future,” said Goumang . “I’m sure you will survive it . “

Soon .

Qin Yun separated from the three and they headed for their respective abodes .

The top existences in the Three Realms instantly detected their return .

Deep in the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss, the Fiend Ancestor sensed Qin Yun’s return and felt extremely disappointed .

“This Qin Yun sure has light shining on him from providence . Wouldn’t it have been nice if he died in the spatial tide?” Fiend Ancestor thought . “In the Three Realms, there’s Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor protecting him . Yet, he returns alive after going to the spatial tide twice . From the looks of it, I can only hope that the Itinerant Immortal tribulation will eventually vanquish him .

“Only with him dead will us fiends have a chance to thrive in the Three Realms . “

Many people in the Three Realms yearned for Qin Yun to die, and the strongest and most esteemed of them all was the Fiend Supremacy .

Fiend Ancestor hated him to the bone .

It was simply because…

Qin Yun was the most enthusiastic at dealing with the fiends among the half-step Heavenly Dao realm existences! It caused the fiend infiltration that had been happening over years to be curbed and destroyed . Now, all they could do was turtle within the fiendish dominion .

Without Qin Yun dead, the fiends had no chance to making an uprising .

Many of the Fiend Ancestor’s plans had to be put on hold .

…

“Sword Immortal Qin, Hou Yi, Kong Xuan, and Goumang headed to the spatial tide together . I wonder what treasures they obtained . ” Two of the Chaos Three Banes, Hundun and Taowu, happened to be together when they sensed Qin Yun and company’s return .

“It’s probably quite a good harvest . Perhaps each one of them has a Connate Cardinal treasure . ” Taowu felt somewhat envious .

“If Sword Immortal Qin and Hou Yi were willing to bring me, I’d also dare step into the spatial tide,” said Hundun .

Taowu scoffed . “Forget it . With Sword Immortal Qin’s temper, you should count your lucky stars that he isn’t destroying you . “

Hundun shook his head . “You were the one who offended Sword Immortal Qin . I didn’t . My relationship with Sword Immortal Qin is still quite alright . “

“So what if your relationship is alright? It won’t be long before the twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation . ” Taowu shook his head . “I do want to see if Qin Yun is able to transcend it . “

******

Across the Three Realms, there were many looking forward to Qin Yun’s early death . Some envied Qin Yun and company, and there were others who were happy at his return . Experts from different factions had different views on this .

And in the Heavenly realm’s Mt . Lightning Roar .

After separating from Hou Yi and company, Qin Yun returned to Mt . Lightning Roar .

“I’m back . “

Qin Yun stood in midair . It was deep at night with stars dotting the sky .

However, Mt . Lightning Roar was bustling . At the foot of the mountain were stretches of buildings . Even in the night, there were resplendent lights, an indication of its flourishment .

Ever since the Qin family produced Qin Yule a few thousand years ago, Qin Yun’s lineage began to expand rapidly . Generation after generation of children resulted in a huge number after thousands of years . Many of the line lived at the foot of the mountain with only a small number of elites and cultivation geniuses having the right to live on the mountain .

And only the ones with extremely high standing could live at the mountaintop .

After all, that was were the Sword Immortal Qin couple, Qin Yiyi, Meng Huan, Qin Yuluo, and Qin Yule’s family lived .

“Without realizing it, the Qin family has flourished so well . ” Qin Yun overlooked the area . “There are millions after a few thousand years of proliferation . A cultivation family clan with the number of family members increasing rapidly . I guess I have to thank Yule for this . “

With another step, Qin Yun arrived on the mountaintop .

On the mountaintop, a faint blue-dressed Yi Xiao was playing the zither which exuded a carefree tune .

Qin Yun listened by the side and Yi Xiao only sensed his presence when she was done with the tune .

“Brother Yun . ” Yi Xiao revealed a look of delight as she stood up . “You’re back . “

“Yes . I won’t be going to the spatial tide any further . I’ll stay at home and prepare for the twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation,” said Qin Yun with a smile .

“How was the harvest this time?” inquired Yi Xiao .

“Much better than the last time,” said Qin Yun . “Perhaps, I might really obtain eternal life!”

Yi Xiao nodded with a smile . “Brother Yun, you will definitely succeed . “

Qin Yun stood on the mountaintop, overlooking the flourishing scene as he said wistfully, “The Qin family is becoming more prosperous by the day, and there are even more Qin family descendants who rely on the Qin family . If I were to fail my tribulation and be vanquished, with the grudge the fiends have against me… I’m afraid the Qin family will immediately face a crisis . “

“Brother Yun, didn’t you say that you would succeed in transcending the tribulation to obtain eternal life?” said Yi Xiao .

“Who can tell the future with absolute certainty? Before transcending the tribulation, I will need to make the arrangements,” said Qin Yun . “Of course, the best solution is for me to survive the tribulation . “

Be it for himself, for his family clan, or for Green Touring Palace…

It was even for the continued suppression of the fiends .

For various reasons, he needed to survive the tribulation .

If he survived, no amount of anxiety the fiends felt would be of use! His sword would forever suppress the fiends .

“Let’s do the sacrifice first,” said Qin Yun .

“Did you manage to accumulate enough merit?” asked Yi Xiao .

“Of course there’s enough . ” Qin Yun smiled . His harvest this time was just so immense . The bit of merit he lacked had easily been accrued .

Soon .

The couple came to a empty land on the mountaintop . Qin Yun waved his hand as three other-universe corpses appeared . They were the array formation envoys from Bohan Island .

“These three were refined by Bohan Island Lord as puppets . They had lost their own self-will,” said Qin Yun .

“Bohan Island Lord?” Yi Xiao was astonished .

“He’s a terrifying expert in the spatial tide . He even reached the Heavenly Dao realm but chose not to break through his Essence Soul Dharmic powers so that he could deliberately stay in the spatial tide . ” Qin Yun smiled . “We were in quite serious danger this time, and nearly failed to return . “

Yi Xiao felt a lingering fear from what she head .

Qin Yun waved his hand and released his Misty Rain Sword . As the sword beams flitted around, it sliced up the first envoy’s corpse which had been refined to be extremely resilient . However, the Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure’s strength was staggering . In just a few seconds, the first corpse was pulverized as it returned to the land .

The mysterious powers contained in the lives of the other-universe experts fused with the Three Realms .

Immediately, merit descended .

As Merit Gilded Glow blanketed Qin Yun, immense merit surged into his body . Qin Yun nodded his head gently when he felt it . The merit he obtained was of adequate amounts, equivalent to an other-universe perfected Great Dao expert’s corpse .

“From the looks of it, all three corpses have to be sacrificed to reach the amount needed . ” Qin Yun continued the sacrifice .

Moments later .

After the three envoys’ corpses returned to the Three Realms, immense amount of merit descended upon him .

“There should be enough this time . ” Qin Yun extended his hand as the Misty Rain Sword flew back after destroying the three corpses . WIth a thought, all the merit attained was transferred into the Misty Rain Sword .

Qin Yun and Yi Xiao were looking at the Misty Rain Sword .

As merit kept surging in, it went from 97% to 98% to 99%…

Finally it reached a certain limit .

“Boom!”

Qin Yun felt the qualitative change in his Misty Rain Sword as it stirred the entire Three Realms, causing it to tremble . The commotion astounded the mighty figures in the Three Realms .

“What’s happening?”

“What happened to the Three Realms?”

Mighty figures were puzzled .

As for the Dao Ancestors and the Buddhist Ancestor, they were all very perceptive .

In Green Touring Palace, Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor suddenly opened his eyes and revealed a look of delight . He looked far into the direction of the Heavenly realm’s Mt . Lightning Roar .

He saw brilliant lusters above the mountain and rainbow merit glows illuminated the area for millions of kilometers as a dazzling spectacle .

“A Merit Cardinal treasure is born,” said Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor with a chuckle . “Such a treasure is enough to determine the fate of a sect or an entire race . “
