468: Palpitations

Qin Shilei took the three women and once again traveled Blue Star.

Zhang Qiang, these key cultivation targets, as well as the Night members, were also taken into his Blessed Land.

Jin Qiaoqiao, who possessed a Treasure Hunting Mouse, was also not left behind.

When they encountered groups of exotic beasts, he would let Zhang Qiang and the others come out for training.

When they encountered beautiful scenery, they would stop and travel together hand in hand.

All the Platinum Aliens that appeared within a radius of thirty thousand kilometers around them became casualties of their swords.

Most of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures within a three-hundred-kilometer radius were also discovered by the Treasure Hunting Mouse, becoming their possessions.

While traveling, everyone did not forget their own cultivation.

The only thing that troubled Qin Shilei was that when traveling, he had to stay outside and could not use the Spirit Gathering Array for cultivation.

“Shi Lei, can you first enter the Mountain and Rivers Map, and then from there enter the Blessed Land? Then we can carry the Mountain and Rivers Map while flying. This way, you can cultivate without delaying the journey?”

An Qian pondered for a moment and suggested.

Qin Shilei’s eyes lit up, “This can be tried.”

After some experimentation, they found that such an operation was indeed feasible.

In this way, the Night members could carry the Mountain and Rivers Map, riding on pets like the Golden Winged Thunder Roc or Snow Spirit Horse, to travel.

They could even fly twenty-four hours a day without interruption.

At the same time, Phantom could always stay outside, and if a special situation arose, he could immediately notify Qin Shilei to come out.

Qin Shilei and his companions admired the Guarsu Grand Waterfall; had dinner with Caesar the Great; experienced Blue Star’s first highest peak, Mount Mudama; brushed shoulders with Zeus; ate thirty-year-aged ham from Saint Luque; witnessed the spectacle of the Ice and Snow Illusion; and even flattened a small, oblivious country.

Four months later, An Qian reached Platinum Peak.

Six months later, Zhang Xiaoli and Kong Qingshu also successively reached Platinum Peak.

Seven months later, An Qian finally successfully advanced to the Diamond Realm.

Nine months later, Zhang Xiaoli and Kong Qingshu also successively advanced to the Diamond Realm.

At this time, more than half of Zhang Qiang’s group had also successfully advanced to the Platinum Realm.

Qin Shilei’s cultivation also reached Diamond Six-star.

During this period of travel, he had set up a total of thirty-six teleportation arrays in various hidden places on Blue Star.

Through these teleportation arrays, he could almost reach various regions of Blue Star at any time.

At this time, there was only one month left until the spatial passage allowed Platinum Realm exotic beasts to enter and exit.

Qin Shilei lay on a beach chair, listening to Shi Liren recount the intelligence collected during this period.

“From the intelligence left by Old Tan in the chat channel, we learned that everything is currently well in the country. Our Great Xia’s territory has now expanded by nearly thirty times. To cope with the upcoming Platinum Aliens powerhouses, the expeditionary army has begun to withdraw in an orderly manner back into Great Xia Country.”

“On the chat channel, more and more survivors hope to become a vassal state of Great Xia, seeking the protection of Qin An King.”

“The Buddhist Sect has sent another message, hoping to exchange a relic for an orange-grade item, the Eight Trigrams Formation.”

Qin Shilei listened carefully as Shi Liren narrated the information he was interested in.

The Buddhist Sect had previously twice hoped to exchange orange-grade items for the relic, but he had disliked the attributes of their items and had not exchanged with them.

The Eight Trigrams Formation that the other party displayed this time was quite good, and Qin Shilei immediately had a slight intention to exchange.

He was about to open the trade channel and choose to exchange directly with the other party when a sudden tremor went through his heart.

In the unseen, it seemed as if something or someone closely related to him had undergone a significant change.

“Liren, immediately contact Old Tan and see if there are any major changes in the country?”

“Yes, sir!”

After Shi Liren left, Qin Shilei looked out at the vast sea in front of him. An Qian and the three women were playing in the shallow water, but he didn't detect any danger.

Still uneasy, he took out the Mountain and Rivers Map to check if any powerful exotic beasts were approaching.

Again, there was no discovery.

His several in-laws were also living leisurely in the Blessed Land, with no special events occurring.

Half an hour later, Shi Liren came to him again and informed him that no special events had been discovered in the country for the time being.

What or who could have caused his sudden premonition?

With a restless mind, Qin Shilei flashed to An Qian and the others, “I suddenly feel uneasy and think I should go back to the country to check.”

“Okay, then let’s go back now.” The three women immediately replied in unison.

He notified Zhang Qiang, who was hunting nearby, via a sound transmission talisman, telling them to immediately return to the beach to gather.

Qin Shilei brought everyone into the Blessed Land, then instantly returned to Hope City through the teleportation array several hundred kilometers away.

He opened the Blessed Land and let Zhang Qiang and the others come out.

“You all go and investigate to see if anything significant has happened?”

“Yes, sir!”

Everyone responded in unison, then turned and ran out.

Half a day later, the news returned from everyone indicated that nothing very special had happened in the entire Great Xia.

Zhang Xiaoli brought a plate of pastries to Qin Shilei, “Qin Dage, please eat something first. As long as we are here, even if someone tries any schemes, they won't be able to harm us.”

Kong Qingshu also advised, “Currently, no one on the entire Blue Star has strength exceeding ours, so we don’t need to be overly suspicious.”

Qin Shilei gave the three women a smile, signaling them not to worry about him.

Just then, a guard walked in, “Reporting to Your Majesty, Buddhist Sect Master Wei Hongshen has come to pay his respects.”

Qin Shilei instantly understood the other party’s intention.

If it weren't for the sudden tremor in his heart, he would have already used the relic to exchange for that formation map with the other party on the trade channel.

But at this moment, he was not in the mood to deal with the other party.

He looked up and replied, “Tell the other party to come another day; I am not available to see him now.”

“Yes.” The guard was about to turn and leave when Qin Shilei suddenly called out to him again.

“You should still let him in.”

Could it be that a great power from the Buddhist sect has descended upon Blue Star?

Or perhaps the Buddhist sect wants to use the relic to summon a great Buddha to Blue Star.

Before long, the benevolent-looking Wei Hongshen walked in and smiled, “Amitabha! This old monk greets Qin An King!”

Qin Shilei pointed to the seats on both sides of the hall, “Sit!”

After Wei Hongshen sat down, he took out a formation map, two feet square, “This old monk has come this time, hoping to exchange for that relic with Qin An King.”

Qin Shilei glanced at the formation map and asked indifferently, “Do you intend to use the relic to summon your Buddhist masters to our Blue Star?”

Wei Hongshen replied calmly, “We only wish to use the relic for cultivation. As for the Buddhist masters Qin An King speaks of, they are merely legends, and not something our Buddhist Sect can contact.”

He paused and then said again, “Qin An King once said that as long as I found an orange-grade item, you would return the relic to us. I wonder if that still holds true?”

“Yes.” Qin Shilei took out the relic, signaling the other party to come and exchange.

Wei Hongshen stepped forward, presented the Eight Trigrams Formation with both hands, and then accepted the relic.

“Is the relic alright?” Qin Shilei asked indifferently.

“No problem.” A look of joy appeared on Wei Hongshen’s face.

As Qin Shilei reached for the Eight Trigrams Formation on the table, he also casually revealed the Seal enchantment on the relic.

Wei Hongshen’s expression instantly changed drastically.
