722: Chapter 722 The Grandmaster of Annihilation!!

"It is practically a certainty that Long Aotian and the others will achieve a Breakthrough to Grandmaster. Given their talent, resources, and foundation, achieving a Breakthrough to Grandmaster is merely a matter of time."

"And after achieving a Breakthrough to Grandmaster, they can fully rely on their Family's power to obtain the opportunity to Cultivate in the Temple of Time, thereby rapidly increasing their strength."

"Cultivating in the Temple of Time for three years might only mean one month has passed in the outside world. While others take a year to Cultivate from the Early Stage of Grandmaster to the Middle Stage, they might only need a few dozen days. This is the terrifying aspect of the Temple of Time."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, Qin Yan's expression became grave.

He had finally managed to almost catch up to those Prodigies—Rank 6 Peak in Qi Refining, Rank 6 Peak in Body Refining, and 499.5 Hz in Mental Energy.

All three indicators had reached the limit below Grandmaster. The gap between him and Long Aotian, Lin Ruoxi, and the others had already narrowed to a negligible degree.

As it turned out, these people were cheating again.

Going home to increase the proficiency of their Cultivation Technique, then achieving a Breakthrough to Grandmaster, and then going to the Temple of Time to Cultivate to rapidly increase their strength.

After this set of combo moves, the gap between him and them would be widened again.

He was still struggling at the Rank 6 Peak, while they had already achieved a Breakthrough to Grandmaster.

He was still working hard to save Skill Points to increase the proficiency of his Cultivation Technique, while they were already Cultivating in the Temple of Time.

He was still preparing for a Breakthrough to Grandmaster, while they had already gone very far on the path of a Grandmaster.

This cheat was truly a bit excessive.

"Many thanks for the information, Miss."

Qin Yan cupped his hands and thanked her sincerely.

If Jiang Li hadn't told him these things, he wouldn't have known anything at all.

He might have thought that Long Aotian and the others were just going home to visit relatives and would return in a few days.

And then, when he achieved a Breakthrough to Grandmaster and was ready to show his skills, he would have discovered that they had already gone very far in the Grandmaster realm.

"You're welcome."

Jiang Li smiled slightly, picked up her teacup, and took a light sip.

"You would have known about these things later on. I just told you in advance, that's all."

Afterward, after the two finished the Spiritual Food and spiritual drinks on the table, Qin Yan settled the bill.

This meal cost Qin Yan fifteen taixuan points.

Fifteen taixuan points—back when he had just arrived at the Taixuan Holy Land, he would have felt the pinch—how many taixuan points did he get a month back then?

But now, he didn't feel the pinch at all.

Obtaining so much information from one meal—methods to increase Cultivation Technique proficiency, cultivation paths after a Breakthrough to Grandmaster, the Temple of Time—these pieces of information were worth far more than fifteen taixuan points.

It was very worth it.

"Qin Yan, I have news regarding the Extinction Spear Intent you asked me to inquire about earlier."

At this moment, Jiang Li put down the teacup in her hand and spoke.

Qin Yan had asked her to help with this matter a long time ago—when he had just entered the Inner Court, he had asked her about the whereabouts of the Extinction Spear Intent.

To get closer to Qin Yan, she naturally agreed immediately, and then handed it over to her Family to check for information on the Extinction Spear Intent.

Afterward, she didn't pay much more attention to it.

Her Family's information channels were very extensive, so finding the whereabouts of a type of Spear Intent shouldn't be difficult. She just needed to wait for the news.

However, not until some time ago—Qin Yan soundly defeated the Prodigy Xiao Han, which refreshed her understanding of Qin Yan's talent once again.

Xiao Han, a Prodigy from Diluo Valley, possessed the Supreme Grade Ice Prison Spear Intent, and his strength was unfathomable. Such a Prodigy had actually lost to Qin Yan.

Moreover, Qin Yan was a triple cultivator—Body Refining, Qi Refining, and spirit—none of which were weak.

His Dark Spiritual Power, his Dark Altar, and his Fire Lotus had all left a deep impression on Jiang Li.

Such a figure was worth her investing more resources into.

Afterward, she wrote a letter herself and gave it to her father, explaining Qin Yan's Prodigy-like qualities to him—Heavenly Ladder Clearer, first on the individual contribution ranking, triple cultivator, defeated the Diluo Valley Prodigy with Supreme-grade Spear Intent... item by item, point by point, clearly and unambiguously.

After her father finished reading the letter, he was silent for a moment.

Then, he used his own power and connections, mobilized his own intelligence network, and fully investigated the whereabouts of the Extinction Spear Intent.

It was only yesterday that they finally found a clue to the Extinction Spear Intent.

Hearing this news, Qin Yan's expression immediately brightened with joy.

There was finally news about the Extinction Spear Intent!

His cultivation progress for the first grade Destruction Spear Intent, with the support of his massive amount of Spear Dao Profundity, had already reached ninety-three percent!

Ninety-three percent, only seven percent away from Perfection.

In a few days, he would be able to reach one hundred percent.

In this way, he would have completed three of the four prerequisite Spear Intents to condense the Supreme-grade Spear Intent—the Great Destruction Spear Intent.

The Destruction Spear Intent was about to reach Perfection, while the Destructions End Spear Intent and Nirvana Spear Intent had already reached Perfection long ago, leaving only the Extinction Spear Intent.

And at this current point in time, news of the Extinction Spear Intent had arrived.

This news came just in time.

"Miss Jiang Li, where is this Extinction Spear Intent?"

Qin Yan immediately asked.

"This Extinction Spear Intent is within the ruined battlefield of the Guhen Kingdom."

Jiang Li said slowly, her tone calm.

"Guhen Kingdom?" Qin Yan was slightly stunned.

"Ruined battlefield?"

He was very unfamiliar with both of these names.

Jiang Li nodded and began to explain.

"Guhen Kingdom is located in the eastern part of the Taixuan Realm and is a medium-sized kingdom."

"And this ruined battlefield is where the Guhen Kingdom and the Canglan Kingdom fought decades ago. At that time, the soldiers of the two kingdoms fought here for a full two months, and the troops invested amounted to over a million—Sixth-Rank Martial Artists were the main force, Fifth and Fourth Ranks were cannon fodder, and Grandmasters, Great Grandmasters, and even Venerables fell here."

"That battle was fought until the sky went dark and the earth turned red with blood."

"In the end, the Guhen Kingdom won. But because of the long-term war, this place was filled with a thick aura of destruction and slaughter, which over the years formed this ruined battlefield."

"On the battlefield, there are broken walls and ruins everywhere, corpses and remains everywhere, and lingering resentful spirits everywhere."

"And back then, many fallen experts left behind Legacies, Concepts, Domains, territories, etc., on this ruined battlefield. Your Extinction Spear Intent is a Legacy left behind by one of these experts, named the Great Grandmaster of Extinction."

"Great Grandmaster of Extinction?" Qin Yan asked.

"Yes." Jiang Li nodded.

"The Great Grandmaster of Extinction—an Eighth-Rank Grandmaster who Cultivated the Spear Dao and was famous for his Extinction Spear Domain. He fell during the great war between the Guhen Kingdom and the Canglan Kingdom, and before he fell, he sealed his Spear Domain on the battlefield."

After Qin Yan finished listening to Jiang Li's words, even though he was very much looking forward to the Extinction Spear Intent, he did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he carefully asked Jiang Li many details about the ruined battlefield—how dangerous the area was, whether there were any Forbidden Grounds or Vicious Beasts to watch out for, what the current situation of the Guhen Kingdom was, and what conditions or procedures were needed to enter the ruined battlefield.

Jiang Li answered them one by one, telling Qin Yan all the information she had obtained from her Family's intelligence without reservation.
