63: Chapter 63 Supernatural Powers

"What?!"

When Patriarch Xiao Wuyan heard this, his expression changed, and his face was filled with shock: "Old Ancestor, does the Dragon Country want you to kill that Mysterious Expert?"

He hadn't failed to consider this possibility, but he felt it shouldn't go that far. However, since these words came directly from the Old Ancestor, it meant that the top brass of the Dragon Country intended to go all the way and let the two Land Immortals decide life and death between themselves.

My god!

Patriarch Xiao Wuyan suddenly felt a chill, because if the Dragon Country was truly like this, then the Xiao Family would certainly be disheartened.

Over the years, as the only Land Immortal of the Dragon Country, Xiao Jinhe had made many contributions to the Dragon Country. Yet today, the Dragon Country's leadership wanted the Old Ancestor to deal with that Mysterious Expert himself.

Patriarch Xiao Wuyan could not accept this approach, nor could he ever accept it.

Xiao Jinhe said indifferently: "Do you know what a huge price must be paid to kill a Land Immortal? Letting that Mysterious Expert and me decide life and death ourselves is the best choice and the best outcome. Regardless of who wins or loses, the Dragon Country only needs one Land Immortal to survive."

"Old Ancestor, what should we do next?" Patriarch Xiao Wuyan's expression became much more serious.

"Investigate. Investigate thoroughly who this Mysterious Expert actually is."

"Yes!"

...

Qin Chuan naturally did not yet know that the Xiao Family had set their sights on him, and he felt not a shred of panic regarding whether the Earth Martial Arts Alliance intended to kill him.

However, he really needed to seize the time to Cultivate. He had two Magical Artifacts on hand that he could use. Although he was a big shot at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage and had no shortage of Magical Artifacts, those were all Magical Artifacts for use above the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, which were simply unusable by someone in the Tongxuan Realm.

The Tongxuan Realm allowed for the cultivation of one Divine Ability, and what Qin Chuan was struggling with now was which Divine Ability would be better to Cultivate.

After searching through numerous Divine Abilities for a long time, Qin Chuan finally settled on a Divine Ability called Extreme Lightning. This Divine Ability was not considered very powerful, and it could not target those with a higher Realm than himself, but rather those with a lower Realm. As long as they were below a certain Rank relative to him, he could kill them in one blow.

The reason this Divine Ability was not considered powerful, and could even be called a "chicken rib" (useless but a pity to discard), was that low-level Cultivators couldn't use it, and high-level Cultivators looked down on it.

To achieve a one-hit kill, the trigger condition required being several Realms higher. But once one was several Realms higher, there was simply no need to use this Divine Ability; there were too many ways to achieve a one-hit kill.

Therefore, in the Cultivation World, very few Cultivators Cultivated this Divine Ability. After all, one could only Cultivate one Divine Ability in the Tongxuan Realm; once Extreme Lightning was Cultivated, one could not Cultivate other Divine Abilities.

Extreme Lightning thus became known among many Cultivators as a "chicken rib," especially since the two terms sounded similar.

In the Cultivation World, if any Cultivator Cultivated this Divine Ability, they would certainly be mocked for Cultivating a "chicken rib." But don't forget, this was not the Cultivation World; it was Earth.

The Rank of Martial Artists was not high to begin with. For Qin Chuan now, the Extreme Lightning Divine Ability was actually quite useful; it could even allow him to kill many Martial Artists instantly, which could save him quite a bit of trouble.

After weighing his options, Qin Chuan finally decided to Cultivate this Divine Ability.

To Cultivate it, he would have to go into seclusion for a period. This time, Qin Chuan chose to head to a place rich in Spiritual Qi.

"Old Qin, are you heading out?" Cao Junli, who had just returned from the cafeteria, saw Qin Chuan planning to leave, and his eyelids twitched.

"Yes." Qin Chuan nodded.

Wu Xieyu and Lin Xian both crowded over, staring intently at Qin Chuan.

"What's wrong?" Qin Chuan was a bit bewildered.

"We aren't going to have to wait another long while before seeing you again, are we?" Cao Junli couldn't help but ask.

Qin Chuan let out an "uh," feeling somewhat amused: "Pretty much."

"I'm telling you, Old Qin, what exactly are you always busy with?" Cao Junli was truly curious.

"Busy Cultivating."

Qin Chuan waved his hand and left directly.

"I don't believe a word of it!" Cao Junli grumbled.

"He's so cool. Look at Old Qin: he's handsome and his combat power is terrifying. I just don't know about his family background; I imagine he must be a rich second-generation kid. No wonder so many girls like him." Lin Xian was very envious.

"Yeah, he's only appeared twice, and yet he's already got the girls in the class completely infatuated." Wu Xieyu was also full of emotion.

Cao Junli gritted his teeth: "But I'm the one who's the rich second-generation kid!"

Cultivating a Divine Ability required a certain amount of time. Back in the Cultivation World, when Qin Chuan had just stepped into the Tongxuan Realm, it had taken him a year just to Cultivate an ordinary Divine Ability.

Now that he was walking the path of Cultivation again, Qin Chuan naturally didn't need to spend that much time. Although his cultivation base had dissipated, his foundation remained. For him, Cultivation was no longer that difficult.

Yun Mountain.

The Spiritual Qi here was, relatively speaking, richer than in other places. With a wave of his arm, Qin Chuan produced many flags that shimmered with golden light, inserting them into every corner of the surroundings to form a Spirit Gathering Array.

This was a small-scale Formation that could gather all the surrounding Spiritual Qi to this spot.

Next was the time for Qin Chuan to go into seclusion.

Time ticked away second by second, and half a month passed just like that...

Every day, many people came to climb Yun Mountain; after all, it was the highest mountain in Jinling. Many even liked to climb up in the middle of the night just to watch the sunrise.

A girl with an extremely sweet appearance stood at the summit of Yun Mountain, looking down at the entire Jinling, quietly watching the distance, a trace of sorrow on her beautiful face.

It seemed that even standing at this highest point could not calm her heart.

"Young Miss, it is time to return."

An old man followed behind her, his tone quite respectful.

"Heh, return?"

Miss Jiang sneered: "What, return to marry that playboy?"

"Young Miss, the Master made this arrangement for the sake of the Jiang Family." The old man sighed softly, "Although Yu Feiyao is a playboy, his speed of Cultivation is indeed fast. Furthermore, the Yu Family will pour all their cultivation resources into him; he will surely stand at the pinnacle of the Martial Arts in the future."

"And so what?" Miss Jiang sneered, "What does that have to do with me?"

The old man fell silent and said nothing more, only able to sigh continuously in his heart.

Miss Jiang sighed; she knew she was powerless to resist. She glanced at the small birds flying freely in the sky, a touch of envy appearing in her eyes.

And just at this moment, the clouds in the sky were suddenly split in two, as if they had been sliced open.

Boom!

Immediately following was a deafening thunderbolt that suddenly descended straight down from the sliced-open clouds, and its landing point was actually Yun Mountain!

This sudden thunderbolt scared quite a few tourists who were climbing the mountain.

"What is going on?"

"The weather was perfectly fine, why did it thunder?"

"..."

The old man looked up, his eyes filled with shock: "Could it be... that there is some Mysterious Expert on this Yun Mountain?"
