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

Qin Yi left the pass and arrived at Qin Moke's residence.

The moment Qin Yi saw Qin Moke, he felt that Qin Moke seemed to have changed from before.

He immediately guessed the reason.

"Congratulations, Elder, on breaking through to the God-King realm!" Qin Yi cupped his hands in congratulations.

Previously, Qin Moke was stuck between the Origin God Realm and the God King Realm, but some time ago, he received a top-grade Breakthrough Divine Pill from the Ma family envoy as an apology.

Clearly, he has already entered the God King realm with the help of this pill.

Qin Moke sighed in a very complicated tone, "I am getting old. Although I have broken through to the God King Realm, I can basically see the end of my road ahead."

"The future ultimately belongs to you young people."

"Your cultivation progress is also quite good. You've become much stronger in just a few days."

Although it had only been a few days since they last met, Qin Yi had actually cultivated for forty-two days.

Qin Yi said, "Thanks to the support of the clan leader and elders, I don't have to worry about cultivation resources when I'm cultivating, which is why I've been able to maintain such rapid progress."

"Elder, I wonder how the Nine Nether Devouring Python is doing on Black Flame Star?"

Qin Yi changed the subject, since his cultivation speed was so fast because it was related to the flow of time within the cauldron, so it was best not to discuss it too much.

Of course, he was indeed somewhat concerned about the situation of the Nine Nether Devouring Python.

Qin Moke said, "That guy, after leaving you, showed an astonishing side as soon as he entered Black Flame Star; he was extremely ruthless!"

"Don't worry, it will adapt."

"This decision was right!"

"It is impossible to successfully raise such a ferocious beast in a greenhouse."

"Only by letting them roam freely and grow through competition can their true potential be unleashed!"

"Moreover, I have arranged for someone to keep an eye on it in secret, and if it encounters any danger to its life, someone will come to its rescue."

Qin Yi nodded and said, "The clan elder is very kind."

Qin Moke smiled faintly and then said, "In addition, I have also learned some information about the competition between Ma Rulong and Ma Shang regarding the Ma family."

"Ma Rulong and Ma Shang are both exceptionally talented members of the new generation of the Ma family."

"The two are not only direct descendants of the Ma family, but also cousins!"

"However, the relationships within the Ma family are complicated, and the two of them have been mortal enemies since childhood."

"The person who previously stopped the Ma family envoy from trading the Three Lives Stone with us was Ma Shang's father, someone from our Qin family's second branch. Recently, he has indeed been in close contact with the higher-ups of Ma Shang's camp."

"As for Ma Rulong... in the profit-driven Ma family, he is an anomaly. He acts in a way that is somewhat cynical, but he is extremely trustworthy and values ​​relationships."

"Previously, one of his maids was humiliated, and to stand up for her and seek justice, he didn't hesitate to fight back, taking the life of a member of the Ma family in front of many people!"

"Therefore, there shouldn't be any major problems with you cooperating with Ma Rulong."

Qin Yi hummed in agreement and said, "That's excellent."

Next, Qin Yi spent some time with a group of soldiers from the Sky-Supporting Legion who had regained their physical bodies, and then spent some time with Lingling.

As a true spirit born from the innate Dao embryo, Lingling is still adapting to her physical body, but her strength has already reached the high level of the Saint King realm.

Once he becomes a god and can perfectly control the original fluctuations of the innate Dao embryo true spirit, he can leave seclusion.

The sky was getting dark.

Qin Yi returned to his residence, entered the cultivation room, took out the Heavenly Ranking Platform, used the Divine Crystal to pierce the passage, entered the Heavenly Ranking Space, and then transformed into the appearance of a bearded, muscular man.

With a thought, a screen of light appeared before me.

Name: Sword Master

Cultivation level: Sixth level of Initial Saint

Rank: 10th on the local list

Basic certification: Permanent

Total points: 105,879

Remaining points: 100,122

Basic storage space: Open

Special item: Identity card (one)

……

He had just entered the Heavenly Ranking Space and was planning to take the initiative to contact "Handsome Hao".

Hao Shuai sent Qin Yi his location and a message: I'm waiting for you here, come and meet me soon.

Qin Yi immediately rushed to the location of "Hao Shuai".

It took Qin Yi more than an hour to finally arrive at his destination.

This is a manor built within the Heavenly Ranking Space. It is quite grand, with large arrays of divine light rising from the manor.

Qin Yifei landed at the entrance of the manor.

At the entrance, there were two rows of guards composed of martial artists with the cultivation level of the Initial Saint Realm.

A guard immediately approached Qin Yi, appearing quite respectful, and said, "Young Master Jianba, my young master has already given instructions. I will lead the way for you. Please come in."

Qin Yi nodded and followed the guard through the gate into the manor.

The manor is grand on the outside, but the interior is quite ordinary.

In just a moment, the guards led Qin Yi to the entrance of the backyard.

The guard stopped and said, "Young Master Jianba, my master is hosting a banquet in the backyard to entertain the other supporting prodigies, so I cannot go in."

Qin Yi hummed in agreement and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

After saying that, he walked into the backyard alone.

Upon entering the backyard, Qin Yi saw "Hao Shuai" and more than twenty young men and women.

Hao Shuai, who was sitting at the desk, immediately stood up, a smile on his face, and walked towards Qin Yi.

"Brother Jianba, you've finally arrived."

He enthusiastically pulled Qin Yi to the middle of the two rows of desks and said with a smile, "Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Brother Jian Ba, who recently climbed the rankings at lightning speed and reached tenth place on the Earth Ranking."

The young men and women sitting at the tables on either side of him were all curiously looking at Qin Yi.

Some people smiled and introduced themselves to Qin Yi, greeting him.

Qin Yi responded to each question with composure and humility.

"Brother Jianba, please have a seat here."

Seeing that it was about time, "Hao Shuai" personally led Qin Yi to his seat.

Just then, a young man suddenly stood up and said, "Young Master Rulong, Jian Ba ​​is ranked tenth on the Earth Ranking. It's no problem for you to invite him to help you."

"But...you said before that among us Earth Ranking members, Sword Master is the leader."

"Sword Master didn't come back then, so we didn't say anything. But now that he's here, we should see if he has the strength to convince everyone."

Qin Yi's eyes flashed as he looked at "Hao Shuai" standing to the side.

Hao Shuai explained, "Brother Jian Ba, the five of you ranked on the Earth Ranking are going to form a team to complete a competitive mission. You didn't come earlier, and I did say that I planned to make you the core of the team."

After speaking, he looked at the person who had raised the question and said, "I know the strength of Brother Sword Master, the Ruthless Swordsman, so..."

Before 'Hao Shuai' could finish speaking...

Qin Yi then said, "Brother Hao, it's normal for them to have doubts. To win people's hearts, you really have to rely on your strength."

This shows that Hao Shuai values ​​him, and perhaps it's also a test from Hao Shuai.

Qin Yi didn't care.

Having decided to join this so-called competition, he had no intention of hiding it.

Concealing one's strength can certainly allow one to play the fool and outmaneuver the strong.

But shining brightly also has many benefits.

Moreover, this guy codenamed "Ruthless Sword" is just a genius on the Earth Ranking.

Proving one's strength to a top-ranked genius... couldn't force Qin Yi to reveal his true abilities at all. He could still easily play dumb to outmaneuver Qin Yi later.

"That was great!"

"The Ruthless Sword" laughed, "I just don't know if your sword is that sharp!"

As they spoke, the 'Ruthless Sword' suddenly grasped a long sword that gleamed with a cold light.

"Buzz!"

The sword trembled slightly, emitting a crisp hum, and revealing a sharp edge.

"I am ranked fourth on the Earthly Ranking. If you can defeat me, I will follow your orders from now on."

"But if you are not my match..."

The ruthless swordsman's gaze shifted from Qin Yi to Hao Shuai, and he said, "Young Master Rulong, how about I lead the Earth Ranking team?"

"I promise you won't be disappointed!"

"Brother Hao, please step aside for a moment," Qin Yi's voice rang out.

Hao Shuai's expression was slightly complicated. He then stepped aside and said, "Let's stop here and not ruin the harmony."

"Ruthless Sword" nodded and said, "Young Master Rulong, you can rest assured, I know how to act."

With a thought, Qin Yi grasped the thick, black sword, as wide as a door panel, in his hand. Looking at the 'Ruthless Sword,' he said, "Please!"

The 'Ruthless Sword' smirked and said, "Then I'll make my move!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure shot towards Qin Yi in an instant.

A chilling aura erupted, swift and sharp.

Qin Yi let out a loud shout!

His power suddenly erupted from his arms, his sleeves billowing, and a powerful aura poured into his heavy sword. Then he swung the heavy sword forward.

"Rumble..."

A terrifying, heavy aura erupted.

It was as if he had lifted a huge mountain and thrown it.

Qin Yi's move crushed the sword light of the "Ruthless Sword" with overwhelming force.

An overwhelming force struck the 'Ruthless Sword'.

A scream suddenly escaped from the mouth of the "Ruthless Sword".

His body lost its balance and was thrown backward...
