"You are too weak."
Qinchuan glanced disdainfully at Lei Wuyin, who had breathed his last. His expression indifferent, his tone casual, "To flaunt the great Dao of life and death before this young master, you're not qualified."
Seeing Lei Wuyin pierced through under Qinchuan's spear without the slightest resistance, the remaining six members of the Thunderfire Mercenary Corps turned deathly pale, losing all color in their faces and their will to fight. In no time at all, the remaining six members were dead, killed by Ji Huo'er and the others' Mysterious Technique Fierce Palm.
The once aggressive Thunderfire Mercenary Corps was offhandedly defeated by Qinchuan and his companions, with not a single person escaping. They were truly decimated.
"Big Brother Qin, you really are formidable. To think you have such an understanding of the Secret Techniques and Mysterious Techniques of Thousand Fox Mountain. Could it be you have some connection with my Thousand Fox Mountain?"
Having dealt with the attackers, Ji Huo'er's playful and lively eyes sparkled with curiosity as she stared at Qinchuan, as if trying to see through him.
Ling Xian'er, Ding Hao, and the others looked up to him with respect and reverence as well. With just a few casual instructions on the battlefield, Qinchuan had helped them greatly, which they couldn't help but admire. They even wished he would start a lesson right there and share more insights into the flaws in Dao Magic and Mysterious Techniques.
However, Qinchuan was not interested. He cast a sidelong glance at the group and said indifferently, "If you follow this young master while within the Spirit Martial Great Tomb, you will surely reap rewards." These were words Qinchuan had said before entering the tomb, but Ling Xian'er and the others hadn't taken them seriously at the time. Now that Qinchuan mentioned it again, it left a different taste.
After Qinchuan spoke, he waved his hand to collect Lei Wuyin's Storage Space.
The Thunderfire Mercenary Corps had been adventuring in the Spirit Martial Great Tomb for months, and they must have amassed a considerable haul.
But as Qinchuan's Divine Sense scanned Lei Wuyin's Storage Space, he shook his head in disappointment. Besides a plethora of spiritual medicines and Heavenly Treasures Materials, the space contained numerous Mysterious Techniques and Magical Treasures found within the Spirit Martial Great Tomb—treasures that could save a life in critical moments. Qinchuan had never imagined he would be able to kill Lei Wuyin in one strike, not giving him the chance to use any life-saving treasures.
Beyond that, Qinchuan did not find the heavenly treasures he desired.
Nevertheless, he was not discouraged. Having awakened the Innate Pupils and Innate Marrow, and now having obtained karma, his Innate Pupils had been elevated once again. Despite being a mere Spirit Martial Realm martial artist, he could now exert strength sufficient to contend with late-stage Dao Palace Realm, even Life Spring Realm cultivators.
Having collected everything, Qinchuan said, "These men's Storage Spaces still contain some Heavenly Treasures Materials. Let's gather them and leave this place."
At these words, excitement shone in Ji Huo'er's eyes. Collecting the spoils of battle was her favorite part. She cheered and bounced off to scavenge the Storage Spaces of the Thunderfire Mercenary Corps and the others, including tidying up the treasures on the Jade Altar, which kept her busy for a while.
Ding Hao wasn't idle either. The Thunderfire Mercenary Corps had used him as a guide, essentially sending him to his death. He showed no mercy, stripping the members of the mercenary corps bare.
After having scoured all the treasures in the Divine Cave and from the bodies of the mercenary corps, the group set off to leave the cave.
After a burst of brilliant light and the loneliness of the void, Qinchuan and his companions exited the Divine Cave, returning to the plains above. Enjoy new tales from Freewebnovel
The moment Qinchuan stepped out of the cave, his entire aura surged. His long hair fluttered, his Dao Magic apparent, transforming into a black river that swept across the area, vast and blazing. His eyes erupted with a crimson, violent aura, "How dare you!"
"What's going on?"
Ji Huo'er and the others were startled, not understanding why Qinchuan had suddenly become aggressive.
But the next moment, the three of them understood the reason.
In the void, countless runes swirled, interweaving with the Great Dao Principles, as a multitude of golden lights coalesced into an enormous palm, pressing down towards the four of them.
The golden palm covered the sky and sun, shining resplendently, turning the entire canopy into a dazzling golden light.
"Someone's sneaking an attack!" Ling Xian'er was the first to react.
Qinchuan stood with his long spear at an angle, bloodthirsty killing intent bursting forth, the crimson Asura's intent continuously cascading out, scattering in all directions, instantly turning the plains into a human purgatory.
"Break—"
Qinchuan thrust out his long spear, True Qi roiling. Innate True Qi gathered atop the spear, transforming into a crimson fire dragon that lunged at the sky-obscuring palm.
"Boom—"
The fire dragon collided with the mountain-like suppressing palm imprint, creating a thunderous, intense explosion; divine light burst forth, and normalcy returned to the azure sky as the colossal golden palm imprint dissipated into nothingness.
Qinchuan stood with his long spear slanted, eyes dominating everything under the heavens. His Innate Pupils spun wildly, and within his gaze seemed to be a mist, as if chaos swirled within. Then, from amidst that chaos emerged a silvery radiance, the force of causality sprinkling towards all directions over the plains, probing this Earth Realm.
The next moment, he spotted the assailants, who turned out to be three unremarkable-looking old men.
At this time, the three old men also emerged from the shadows, carrying an unparalleled badao and an indisputable presence. These were not strangers but the three ancient siblings from the Gu clan, who had brought forth the Yin Spirit to attack the formation here.
"Not bad, little guy, you actually managed to fend off the joined strike from the three of us," the second brother, Gu Shi, despite praising Qinchuan on the surface, had an attitude of looking down from above, as if receiving his approval was a great honor for Qinchuan.
The three stood in the void, unpredictable in form. When Ling Xian'er and the others saw the cultivators' cultivation levels, they exclaimed in surprise, "What, they are Dao Palace realm experts?"
"Dao Palace realm experts!?"
Ling Xian'er and the others saw it clearly: the three Gu brothers, the one with crane hair and a youthful face and full white beard was the eldest, Gu Mo, and with the long-bearded Gu Shan, both were already at the intermediate stage of Dao Palace realm cultivators. Only the third brother, Gu Shan, was slightly behind, but still had reached the early stage of the Dao Palace realm.
"Isn't the Spirit Martial Great Tomb supposed to only allow Spirit Martial realm martial artists to enter? How can there be Dao Palace realm cultivators here?" Ling Xian'er and the others were both shocked and puzzled.
By this time, Qinchuan stood at the forefront, the violent aura on him subsiding, returning to calmness.
"Indeed, the Spirit Martial Great Tomb is restricted to Spirit Martial realm warriors, but there is one situation where Dao Palace realm cultivators can appear: that is if they originally entered this world at the Spirit Martial realm and then made a breakthrough to the Dao Palace realm without choosing to leave, but rather decided to stay."
"If that's the case, can't we just continue to cultivate here until we make a breakthrough to Holy's Realm? After all, the spiritual energy here is much denser than in the outside world," Ding Hao questioned, puzzled.

"Even though one can remain in this small world after making a breakthrough to the Dao Palace realm, once you reach the late stage of Dao Palace realm, you must leave the secret realm quickly. Otherwise, the small world will detect you and employ the power of the Great Dao to actively obliterate you,"
Qinchuan said indifferently.
