With my nine meridians taken away, I will prove my invincibility with the Demon Seed!

Qin Yi arrived at the quiet courtyard where Tian Bugui lived.

"Greetings, Envoy Tian." Qin Yi bowed respectfully.

Tian Bugui nodded and asked, "Is everything taken care of?"

Qin Yi said, "There's nothing much to deal with; it's just that I got back what belonged to me."

Tian Bugui wasn't surprised. When he first saw Qin Yi, he noticed that Qin Yi was surrounded by a faint aura of the five elements, and he already had a guess in his mind.

He said, "The Five Elements Dao Meridian is yours, so it's only natural that you took it back. This is a superior Dao Body, and even in the Desolate Heaven Domain, it can be considered of average quality."

"Also, you retrieved the innate sword spirit and the spiritual spring dantian from before, right?"

Qin Yi nodded: "Yes."

"Although the innate sword soul and the spiritual spring dantian are not as good as the five elements meridians, they each have their own merits. With these three physiques combined in one body, your potential can be ranked in the middle to upper range in the Desolate Heaven Domain!" Tian Bugui said.

"In addition... when you reclaimed the Five Elements Dao Meridian, it carried a portion of Qin An's cultivation power. Therefore, in just one day, you went from the ninth level of the Cave Heaven Realm to the first level of the Nirvana Realm."

"Fortunately, your previous nine grotto-heavens had already reached the limit of grotto-heavens, and your foundation was solid enough. If it were someone else, there would definitely be many problems."

"But you should also be careful not to try to break through any more barriers in the near future; try to stabilize the situation as much as possible!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Envoy Tian."

Qin Yi didn't explain his physical transformation, but immediately changed the subject: "Envoy Tian, ​​I have now replaced Qin An and obtained this opportunity to be examined by the Starry Sky Palace. What should I do next to officially join the Starry Sky Palace?"

Tian Bugui said, "Wait."

"Wait for what?" Qin Yi asked curiously.

Tian Bugui: "Wait for the geniuses from all sides who have been examined to come to the Desolate Ancient Continent."

Qin Yi's expression grew even more puzzled: "To the Desolate Ancient Continent?"

Tian Bugui said, "That's right. According to the clues held by the Starry Sky Palace, something special happened on the Desolate Ancient Continent. Therefore, the Starry Sky Palace decided to set the Desolate Ancient Continent as the location for this investigation."

"But I can't tell you until things are completely arranged; that's the rule."

"What I can tell you is just a general overview. There will be no fewer than three hundred competitors for you this time, and ninety percent of them will be from the Desolate Heaven Domain."

"The remaining ten percent, like you, come from the other forty-eight continents outside the Desolate Sky Domain, as well as the Desolate Sea."

"However, you don't need to worry too much. After all, you have built a Star Platform foundation with 360 acupoints, which is already a great advantage."

"Moreover, I have a general understanding of your situation. Even if your cultivation level is almost the lowest among all those who participated in the assessment, your combat strength is at least in the middle to upper range."

"This time, the Starry Sky Palace is recruiting one hundred people, and your chances are very good."

"Even if you ultimately fail, after some time, I'll find a way to get you into the Star Palace, because I have high hopes for you!"

Qin Yi cupped his hands in thanks.

Tian Bugui said, "Let's go back and stabilize our cultivation first, calm down and wait, and make preparations."

Qin Yi: "Envoy Tian, ​​I have another matter I would like to ask you."

Tian Bugui nodded and said, "Go on."

Qin Yi: "Envoy Tian, ​​have you ever heard of a person named Tianjizi in the Desolate Heaven Domain?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Bugui's expression immediately hardened, and he asked, "Why are you inquiring about this person?"

Qin Yi said, "To be honest, Envoy Tian, ​​Qin An has four older brothers and two older sisters, all of whom possess my physique's essence. All six of them were taken away by Tianjizi three years ago!"

Tian Bugui took a deep breath and said, "I've heard of the name Tianjizi in the Desolate Heaven Domain. He's a mysterious and elusive person, but I don't know much about him."

"Once we reach the Desolate Sky Domain, I'll ask a master from the Starry Sky Palace for you to inquire about it!"

Qin Yi hummed in agreement.

Now that we can confirm that Tianjizi did indeed come from the Desolate Heaven Domain, we can say that we have made some progress.

Next, Qin Yi bid farewell to Tian Bugui and left. He did not return to Tianxuan Palace immediately, but went to Tianquan Palace and found Chu Huai Ren, the prince of Great Chu, who was cultivating there.

"Brother Huai Ren," Qin Yi cupped his hands in greeting.

"Brother Qin!" Chu Huai Ren's face lit up with a warm smile. "Congratulations! You not only suppressed the turmoil in the Great Wind Dynasty, but also destroyed the Qin family and killed that bastard Qin An!"

Qin Yi said, "I also have to thank Brother Huai Ren for his righteous help in persuading the Chu Emperor to withdraw the army that had invaded the border of Dafeng."

Chu Huai Ren laughed and said, "Brother Qin may not know this, but just now I received intelligence from the secret agents of Great Chu. Now, Great Chu has joined forces with Great Feng to attack Great Xia."

"While completely annihilating the Great Xia Dynasty is impossible, it will definitely severely weaken it!"

"Moreover, my father has ordered me to return immediately and take charge of the joint operation with the Great Wind Dynasty."

"So, by helping you, I was actually helping myself. Now, my chance has come!"

Even if you hadn't come to find me, I would have gone to find you anyway to say goodbye!

He was originally a prince who wasn't highly regarded in the Great Chu Dynasty, but he made the right bet, and suddenly he stood out among the princes of the Great Chu Dynasty.

In particular, if Qin Yi can pass the Starry Sky Palace's assessment, Chu Huai Ren's influence among the princes of Great Chu will skyrocket!

Qin Yi: "Then I also want to congratulate Brother Huai Ren. In the future, if I am still in the Desolate Ancient Continent, if there is anything I can do to help you, I will do my best."

Chu Huai Ren: "I do hope that Brother Qin will leave the Desolate Ancient Continent as soon as possible. If you join the Starry Sky Palace, just come to our Great Chu Imperial City and have a couple of drinks with me before going to the Desolate Heaven Domain. That would be the biggest favor you could do for me, hahaha!"

He has a straightforward personality, so he doesn't beat around the bush when he speaks.

Qin Yi said, "Then it's a deal!"

"Also, I remember the Great Chu Dynasty is very close to the Azure Sword Sect?"

Chu Huai Ren said, "That's right. In recent years, the Cangjian Sect has had a great influence on our Great Chu Dynasty. Many princes and princesses of our Great Chu Dynasty have even gone to the Cangjian Sect to cultivate."

Qin Yi said, "Brother Huai Ren can contact Tang Yuan of the Cangjian Sect."

Chu Huai Ren: "Tang Yuan? This kid is currently making waves in the Cangjian Sect. It is said that his flying sword skills are even more powerful than his deceased half-brother Tang Tian. He seems to be on his way to becoming the young sect master of the Cangjian Sect."

"My siblings who are cultivating in the Cangjian Sect are all actively trying to get closer to Tang Yuan. If I try to contact Tang Yuan, I'm afraid I won't have much of a chance."

Qin Yi took out a jade slip and handed it to Chu Huai Ren, saying, "This jade slip contains what Tang Yuan wants most. Take this jade slip to him and say that I gave it to you. I believe that Tang Yuan will definitely treat you like a brother!"

Tang Yuan's Ten Thousand Miles Sword Technique flying sword inheritance is incomplete, and this jade slip contains the part that Tang Yuan wanted.

Qin Huai Ren didn't ask what the jade slip was about. He carefully put it away and said, "It seems I owe you a great favor, Brother Qin!"

Qin Yi: "To be honest, Brother Huai Ren, there's something else I need your help with."

"Brother Qin, please speak freely," Chu Huai-ren said.

Qin Yi: "Brother Huai Ren, when you return to the Great Chu Dynasty, send someone to the Valley of Heartbreak to collect a medicinal herb called Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom. Have it delivered to me as soon as possible, at least three pieces!"

After saying that, Qin Yi handed the drawing of the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom to Chu Huai Ren.

Chu Huai-ren took the blueprints and said, "Alright, don't worry, as long as the Valley of Heartbreak has this stuff, I'll have people gather it all for you!"

Qin Yi cupped his hands in greeting: "Then I wish Brother Huai Ren all the best on his return to the Great Chu Dynasty!"

Chu Huai-ren also cupped his hands and said, "I also wish Brother Qin all the best in his investigation of the Starry Sky Palace!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Until we meet again!

Then, escorted by a group of secret agents from the Great Chu Dynasty, Chu Huai Ren left Tianquan Palace. He was going back to the Great Chu Dynasty to compete for the position at the pinnacle of the dynasty's power!

Qin Yi returned to his residence in Tianxuan Palace and calmed down to cultivate.

With the aid of the Array Heart Technique, I attempted to activate the Star Array of the Star Body and the five sword techniques used to cultivate the Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique.

If he gets tired of cultivation, he can go and discuss the mysteries of the physical body with Mu Wan and Yun Meng'er.

Balance work and rest, and maintain a proper rhythm.

Qin Yi's cultivation yielded pleasing results every day...
