715: Chapter 715 The Fallen Emperor!!

Qin Yan was powerful and had high defense. There was also Yin Li, who possessed strong Mental Energy; her Heavenly Sound Zither Soul integrated offense and defense.

When the three of them eventually joined forces, they would definitely be like fish in water within the first layer of space, and the possibility of obtaining an Opportunity would increase significantly.

"Alright, I will try my best to Breakthrough to Grandmaster before the Land of Emperors Fall opens."

Qin Yan said.

Afterward, the two of them chatted casually for a bit.

They talked about their upcoming Cultivate plans, the various possibilities of the Land of Emperors Fall, and whether Yin Li would also participate.

The night deepened, and the starlight grew sparse.

The road ahead diverged—one path leading left, the other right.

Qin Yan's Immortal Cave was on the left, and Huang Jiuli's was on the right.

The two of them parted ways at this fork in the road.

"Get some rest early."

"Mm, you too."

Huang Jiuli waved her hand and turned to walk toward the right. Her red robe fluttered in the night wind like a dancing flame.

After walking a few steps, she turned back to glance at Qin Yan before turning away once more.

Qin Yan stood where he was, watching her walk into the distance, before turning toward the left.

The night wind blew past, carrying away the clamor of the banquet and leaving behind a serene silence.

By the time Qin Yan returned to his Immortal Cave, it was already quite late.

Qin Yan went to the spiritual pool at the back of the Immortal Cave and sat cross-legged.

"It's quiet now; I can set about starting my Breakthrough to the Rank 6 Peak of Qi Refining."

Qin Yan thought to himself.

The Five Elements Wonderful Tree had already reached Perfection—five trees, each five zhang tall, representing Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, were arranged in a circle within his body. Their five-colored light intertwined, forming a complete Five Elements cycle. Now, what he needed to do was merge the five trees into one, transforming them into the true Five Elements Wonderful Tree.

This step was the key for him to move from the Late Stage of the sixth rank of Qi Refining into the Rank 6 Peak.

Just as he was preparing to circulate his Cultivation Technique, a transmission from Xiao Hei came from within his body.

"Qin Yan, if you can participate in the Land of Emperors Fall this time, you should try your best to do so."

Xiao Hei's voice rang out in his mind with a touch of gravity.

Hearing Xiao Hei's transmission, Qin Yan immediately set aside his Breakthrough, sank his consciousness into the Blood Demon Nest, and questioned Xiao Hei.

"Why?"

He had originally held an open-minded attitude toward the Land of Emperors Fall, thinking it would be best if he could go, but it wouldn't matter if he didn't.

But since Xiao Hei had specifically sent a transmission to remind him, it meant this matter was not so simple.

"Because of the Four Secrets of the Heavenly Demon."

Xiao Hei transmitted.

The Four Secrets of the Heavenly Demon?

Qin Yan was perplexed, his brow furrowing slightly.

What did this have to do with the Four Secrets of the Heavenly Demon? Could there be something left behind by the Heavenly Demon in the Land of Emperors Fall?

Or was it that the fallen emperor had some connection to the Heavenly Demon?

However, after Xiao Hei gave him an explanation, Qin Yan suddenly understood.

It wasn't that the Land of Emperors Fall had any connection to the Heavenly Demon, but rather that among the Four Secrets of the Heavenly Demon, besides Shadow Clone and Dark Enslavement, both Myriad Manifestation Disguise and Void Guardian required a rare Spirit Medicine to even begin cultivation!

Myriad Manifestation Disguise—required a Spirit Medicine called the thousand illusion spirit grass, which was of the seventh rank.

The thousand illusion spirit grass was transparent throughout, shaped like a dewdrop, and contained the power of myriad transformations.

After consumption, it could condense a trace of Thousand Illusion Power within the body, helping the cultivator change their appearance, hide their aura, and disguise their identity.

Without the thousand illusion spirit grass, one could not even begin to learn Myriad Manifestation Disguise.

Void Guardian—required a Spirit Medicine called a void crystal, which was of the sixth rank.

The void crystal was silver-white throughout, shaped like an ice crystal, and contained the power of space.

After consumption, it could help the cultivator construct the defensive barrier for the Void Guardian.

Without a void crystal, one likewise could not begin to learn Void Guardian.

And while these two types of Spirit Medicine were not of a high rank—seventh and sixth rank—and wouldn't be considered particularly precious items in the Taixuan Holy Land, they were both very rare.

The thousand illusion spirit grass was no ordinary Spirit Medicine; its formation conditions were extremely harsh, requiring a specific environment, specific spiritual vegetation, and a specific time—not a single one could be missing.

The same was true for the void crystal; it wasn't something that could be found just anywhere.

According to what Xiao Hei said, in his memory, these were both rare types of Spirit Medicine.

The thousand illusion spirit grass and the void crystal were scarce resources even back in the Era of the Demonic Path.

In this current era, their rarity would only be higher; they might even be extinct.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan couldn't help but frown.

He really hadn't expected that cultivating Myriad Manifestation Disguise and the Void Guardian would actually have such entry requirements!

In fact, what Qin Yan had overlooked was that cultivating the Shadow Clone and Dark Enslavement also had incredibly high thresholds.

And that was—one had to possess the darkness attribute.

Furthermore, one must have an extremely high level of comprehension toward the darkness attribute; otherwise, these two secrets could not be learned at all.

The darkness attribute was one of the Seven Supreme Laws.

Not everyone possessed the darkness attribute, nor was everyone qualified to Cultivate the Four Secrets of the Heavenly Demon.

Qin Yan had only learned the secret of the Shadow Clone because he possessed a vast amount of Darkness Profundity.

The Shadow Clone required an extremely deep understanding of darkness to split one's spirit into two and condense an independent Clone;

Dark Enslavement required an extremely deep mastery of darkness to condense runes and dominate the will of others.

Qin Yan had only learned the secret of the Shadow Clone because he possessed a vast amount of Darkness Profundity.

Those Darkness Profundity Chains were supreme treasures that countless darkness cultivators dreamed of.

Without them, it would have been very difficult for Qin Yan to learn the Shadow Clone.

Qin Yan had once tried using Skill Points to increase his progress—one thousand Skill Points only increased it by one percent!

To reach one hundred percent, even if the difficulty didn't increase further along, he would still need one hundred thousand Skill Points.

From this, one could see the high difficulty of learning the Shadow Clone!

"Are there thousand illusion spirit grasss and void crystals in the Land of Emperors Fall?"

Qin Yan asked.

"It's possible," Xiao Hei transmitted.

"The Land of Emperors Fall is where a Great Emperor fell. When a Great Emperor falls, the Dao energy and Laws within their body dissipate, nourishing that land."

"After ten thousand years, many Spirit Medicines that do not exist in the outside world will grow on that land."

"Although the thousand illusion spirit grass and the void crystal are rare, it's not impossible for them to appear there."

Qin Yan nodded.

"So, you want me to try and participate in the Land of Emperors Fall to find these two types of Spirit Medicine?"

"Yes, and no," Xiao Hei said.

"There's one more thing."

At this moment, Xiao Hei within the nest dropped another bombshell on Qin Yan.

"In my mind, I hold many secrets of the Era of the Demonic Path."

"When you head to the Land of Emperors Fall, I might be able to identify who this fallen emperor was."
