403: The Demon Sect's Confidence

After a night of tossing and turning, Qin Shilei's Blessed Land finally became vibrant with life.

Then, the three women successively used the items rewarded by the system.

An Qian not only took the opportunity to advance to Gold Five-Star but also comprehended a unique skill, Phoenix's Flame. Various Phoenix-related combat skills and abilities also greatly increased in power, and the cooldown time for Nirvana was reduced to one month.

Although Zhang Xiaoli didn't manage to advance, her abilities greatly increased, and the phantom of the World Tree within her body grew twice its original size.

Kong Qingshu, on the other hand, comprehended a unique skill of Wind Escape.

Zhang Xiaoli asked, "Qin Dage, my reputation value ranks thirteenth, and my cultivation speed has increased by fifty percent. How much have you and An Qian increased, respectively?"

Qin Shilei took out a crystal and tried to absorb it.

He found that a crystal, which originally provided twenty experience points, now provided forty experience points.

After inquiring with the system, he learned that the energy of a crystal was far more than twenty experience points. With the system's blessing, the conversion efficiency had greatly improved, which was why the experience doubled.

Qin Shilei was about to answer that it was one hundred percent.

"No, it should be two hundred percent. The speed at which I absorb a crystal has also greatly increased now."

After speaking, he sat cross-legged on the ground again, trying to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world.

The spiritual energy from the outside world immediately rushed into his body, vying with each other, and then quickly transformed into elemental energy that he could control as easily as his own arm.

The speed of this cultivation increase was actually twice as fast as when he absorbed Crystal Source.

The system's blessing, the bonus from the 'Prodigy' trait, and the abundant spiritual energy in this Blessed Land all contributed to this result.

In the near future, once the spiritual energy in the Blessed Land becomes fifty times, or even a hundred times that of the outside world, wouldn't his cultivation increase as rapidly as a rocket?

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Shilei suddenly gained more confidence in the future.

To make the spiritual energy in the Blessed Land more concentrated, he decided not to merge with other Space Secret Realms for the time being, to avoid diluting the spiritual energy here.

........

The next morning.

After breakfast, Qin Shilei rode Xiao Qiang and flew towards Changzhou City.

He planned to find a demonic disciple in Changzhou City, then infiltrate the Demonic Sect's Space Secret Realm to meet the Demonic Sect Master.

As soon as he flew into Changzhou City, more than a dozen figures suddenly flew out from below.

Qin Shilei stopped in mid-air, scanning with his divine sense, and found that every person in that group had Platinum Realm cultivation.

Those people quickly came to a stop dozens of meters in front of Qin Shilei.

A cold-faced middle-aged man in black battle armor with long hair flew to the very front.

He cupped his fists and greeted, "May I ask if the person here is His Excellency Qin An King? I am Sect Leader Huangfu Feng, the Demonic Sect Master."

Qin Shilei also cupped his fists in return, "It is Qin. I am truly flattered by Sect Master Huangfu's grand reception."

Sect Leader Huangfu Feng said indifferently, "A mere dozen people, I'm afraid, would not even enter Qin's sight.

I came out personally simply to discuss cooperation with Qin An King. I wonder if Qin An King is interested?"

Qin Shilei smiled faintly, "Yesterday, your Demonic Sect did not have this attitude. Someone even said they would wipe out the entire Qin An Royal Mansion, leaving no bones behind.

What?

You want to talk peace because you can't win?"

A burly man with thick eyebrows immediately stepped forward and said sharply, "Qin, don't think that our Demonic Sect is really afraid of you..."

"Stand down!"

Sect Leader Huangfu Feng stopped his subordinate's words.

Then his expression darkened, and he said coldly, "Qin An King, do you mean to annihilate our Demonic Sect?"

Qin Shilei smiled, "I wonder what kind of cooperation Sect Master Huangfu is referring to?"

Actually, when it came down to it, Qin Shilei's hatred for the Demonic Sect had largely faded with the deaths of Elder Zhang and others.

If the other party was truly sincere in seeking peace, cooperation was not impossible.

Sect Leader Huangfu Feng pointed downwards, "Please, Qin An King, let's discuss this inside the mansion."

Qin Shilei nodded and followed the other party into the City Lord's Mansion.

The host and guests took their seats.

Sect Leader Huangfu Feng did not mention cooperation but instead asked, "Qin An King, do you know anything about the world on the other side of the Space Rift?"

Qin Shilei looked at the other party and told him truthfully, "I have entered the Insect World several times. On the other side of the Space Rift near your Changzhou City, there are two Platinum Peak insects. And Platinum is by no means the strongest in the Insect World.

As far as I know, the Space Rifts in our country connect to at least three worlds. Andrei, the Demon Lord of the Abyss World, will definitely invade our Blue Star three years from now. And Andrei's strength is at least Diamond Realm or even the higher Master Realm.

Whether they are insects or demons, they regard all living beings on our Blue Star as food. You shouldn't even think about defecting to them to survive."

Everyone in the Demonic Sect looked extremely grim.

They had been sealed in the Space Secret Realm for far too long.

Now that they had finally returned to Blue Star, they were preparing to show off the might of the Demonic Sect to the world, but they never expected Blue Star to encounter a great catastrophe that would almost lead to its demise.

Were they to retreat into the Space Secret Realm again and live a precarious existence?

With a creak, a white-haired old man walked in shakily, and a powerful oppressive aura instantly enveloped Qin Shilei.

A pair of cold, dark eyes stared intently at Qin Shilei, "Young friend, is what you said true?"

"Absolutely true."

Qin Shilei said indifferently, "I wonder if you have activated the system? From the system's prompts, one can infer that there are countless strong individuals from Other Worlds."

As he spoke, he carefully observed the old man opposite him.

Diamond Three-Star!

This old man was probably the Demonic Sect's greatest trump card.

However, the other party looked like an old man with one foot in the grave, as if he could die at any moment.

It was precisely because the old man's vitality was about to wane that Sect Leader Huangfu Feng proposed cooperation, instead of directly and forcefully suppressing Qin Shilei.

The old man carefully observed Qin Shilei's expression and found no signs of him lying.

He sighed softly, "It seems this is indeed a great catastrophe that all of us humans cannot escape. I wonder if our Space Secret Realm can evade the search of the Aliens?"

He paused and then smiled at Qin Shilei, "It seems young friend is very confident in his own strength. Are you not afraid that I will instantly kill you with a single move?"

Qin Shilei smiled confidently, "When Qin was at Gold Five-Star, he could easily slay Platinum Aliens. Now that he has advanced to Platinum, dealing with a Diamond Three-Star old man should not be difficult."

The old man's face turned cold, and at the same time, a murderous aura, as substantial as reality, shot towards Qin Shilei.

Qin Shilei remained unfazed, and then an even denser murderous aura emanated from him.

The many Demonic Sect experts in the hall felt as if they had instantly arrived in hell, and their eyes were filled with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

"Hmph, when it comes to murderous aura, I've never been afraid of anyone."

Qin Shilei thought to himself.

Indeed, the number of Aliens who had died by his hand was in the millions.

Although he did not specifically cultivate murderous aura techniques, in terms of the sheer quantity of murderous aura, it was indeed much denser than that of everyone in the Demonic Sect present.

The old man's aura surged violently, then quickly receded.

He gasped for breath, closed his eyes, and said, "You two discuss the cooperation."
