162: Passengers, festival begins

As lightning arcs flashed around him, Qin Jin's thoughts stirred, and the lightning arcs vanished. With another slight movement of his mind, his Divine Intent left his body.

Under his full exertion, his Divine Intent climbed again, already taking on the form of a giant, enveloped in divine light, majestic and imposing. Standing in mid-air, it exuded a palpable pressure.

The next moment.

His Divine Intent left the Sacrificial Spirit Hall, standing in mid-air, looking down upon the tribe.

“As expected of a true scripture that requires first tempering the spirit and breaking through the Thunder Prison to cultivate.”

“With the growth of my mind, my Divine Intent has also grown, and my perception ability and range have significantly improved.”

Thoughts flashed.

Qin Chi's Divine Intent turned its gaze towards the area on one side of the tribe. It was the special guest area set up by the Si Huo Tribe for this ceremony, where guests from various tribes resided.

The Divine Intent's eyes radiated divine light. In Qin Chi's perception, some outsiders showed no abnormalities, while others had obvious clouds of wish power around them.

Qin Jin had seen this sight before when he greeted the Tu Yang Tribe, so he was no longer ignorant.

Clearly, facing the Si Huo Tribe's invitation, some tribal Sacrificial Spirits accompanied their people with their means, having thoughts of protecting their tribesmen's safety, and also wanting to gauge the Si Huo Tribe's depth.

“Within the Great Wilderness, other tribes are not peaceful.”

“After all, the current Great Wilderness is equivalent to a bounded realm. Under this premise, the various forces within it are bound to have conflicts.”

His thoughts churned, and he thought of more: “I once explored the border and saw the border restriction there.”

“Many long years have passed in the Great Wilderness. There should be others who were curious about the extremes of heaven and earth and sought out the boundaries of heaven and earth.”

“To leave the border and activate that portal, one needs to possess a shan he remnant piece. Is it the same when returning?”

“So, he thought of the speculation he had when he first saw the border restriction: “Perhaps, in the past, a Great Wilderness human explorer, carrying a shan he remnant piece, left the restricted area, then perished outside, and the shan he remnant piece was acquired by the Three-Headed Strange Python, which is why it entered the Great Wilderness and caused that tragedy?”

“That Horse-bodied Human-faced God, with a clear target, came straight for the strange python. In this sense, it actually seems to be protecting the Great Wilderness. Could it also be related to the Divine Cauldron remnant fragment, possibly a contingency left behind?”

His thoughts flickered, finally suppressed deep in his heart.

“Once I am strong enough, I can actively seek out the traces of that mountain god and obtain more information.”

Qin Jin's Divine Intent retracted, without further probing the Sacrificial Spirits who had arrived.

In a sense, within this Great Wilderness covered by the Divine Cauldron restriction, he could now be considered truly legitimate.

After all, he had received the favor of that Immortal Dynasty Princess.

“The invited tribes have already arrived, about seventy to eighty percent. In a few more days, it will be the day of the ceremony.”

Thoughts flashed.

Qin Chi's figure disappeared, leaving the Great Wilderness.

Lei Yu Star.

The lockdown had been lifted for some time, and construction, both inside and outside the planet, had resumed its busy pace.

After Qin Chi returned, he checked the time, left his residence, boarded a vehicle, and headed straight for the nearby starship docking area.

The start of planetary construction began with transportation facilities. During the former Mining Star period, due to the transportation of minerals, the number of docking areas within the planet was already considerable. Now, they have been further expanded and renovated, becoming even more complete.

After waiting for a while in the waiting area, two figures emerged from a starship, one after another, arriving at this spot.

Two women, one dressed in plain clothes, the other in a work uniform, with a serious expression.

Bai Huaiyu, and Candle Kite.

Candle Kite's clone was attached to Bai Huaiyu's personal terminal. Her figure was now solid, and to those with insufficient eyesight, she appeared no different from an ordinary person, holding a briefcase whose purpose was unknown.

Bai Huaiyu walked in front. Upon arriving at Lei Yu Star again, her eyes were filled with interest. Outside the docking area, construction was also underway. She gazed for a moment, her interest growing even stronger.

Seeing the two approach, Qin Jin stepped forward a few paces and said, “Welcome to my hometown.”

Bai Huaiyu smiled faintly.

Behind her.

Candle Kite stepped forward and handed the briefcase she was holding to Qin Chi.

The briefcase was pure black, with an emblem engraved on one side of its surface.

Swords, sabers, and spears overlapped, with elements integrated, forming a rather unique badge.

This was the Judgment Corps's emblem.

In the past, when Qin Chi first explained the planet's divine peculiarity to Martial God Su, the latter had jokingly said he would make Commander Duan pay some interest first.

During this period, shortly after Qin Chi returned to his hometown, this [interest] was sent to Wu Yuan. Because Qin Jin was absent, Candle Kite received it and temporarily kept it.

Later, as the Lei Yu Star lockdown was lifted and communications resumed, Qin Jin received a message from Candle Kite.

She stated that she would deliver it personally.

“Why did you think of coming here for a vacation?”

Qin Chi took the briefcase and looked at Bai Huaiyu.

“I was originally watching martial arts performances at the dojo with other classmates.”

Bai Huaiyu responded with a smile: “However, I heard that the lockdown here was lifted, so I left early.”

She spoke frankly, looking around: “During the academy mission period, this place hadn't developed to this extent yet. This feeling of starting from scratch, from zero, makes me feel very comfortable and I like it very much.”

In his conversation with Candle Kite, Qin Chi knew Bai Huaiyu's intention. At this moment, he pondered, “Do you want me to show you around?”

“No need, it's fine with Candle Kite accompanying me.”

Speaking of this, Bai Huaiyu seemed to recall something and looked back at Candle Kite: “Candle Kite, as you said when you came, Qin Chi has the authority to know my identity?”

“That’s right.”

Behind her, Candle Kite nodded seriously: “Miss Bai, since you chose to come to Lei Yu Star outside the academy mission period, according to the academy's judgment, your identity should be revealed to Qin Chi.”

“This will avoid some potential problems.”

As soon as she spoke.

Qin Chi and Bai Huaiyu's eyes simultaneously rippled.

In Qin Chi's eyes, Bai Huaiyu was the most mysterious among his fellow students of the same year. On the Dengxing Arena, she had clearly revealed that she possessed a second power besides martial arts.

However.

Even Candle Kite, the academy's artificial intelligence, called her Miss Bai, completely unlike how she would address a student. This was entirely beyond Qin Jin's expectation.

In front of him.

Bai Huaiyu gave Qin Jin a deep look, not pressing further. Her eyes flickered, and an invisible, intangible force emanated from beside the three of them, isolating their surroundings.

Qin Chi sensed it briefly, his gaze narrowing slightly.

This power was extremely special, bearing some resemblance to psionic energy, but fundamentally different.

“Is this the second power she wields?”

Thoughts flashed through his mind.

In front of him, Bai Huaiyu's expression became uncharacteristically serious: “Qin Jin, let me introduce myself. I am not a native of the Starfire Federation, but come from an alien civilization.”

“The place I come from is called the Ferryman Civilization.”

Qin Chi raised an eyebrow, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

“It's exactly as you're thinking.”

Bai Huaiyu saw the change in his expression and said calmly: “Our Ferryman Civilization is an ancient civilization that has existed in the star sea for a very long time. You can also call us the Observer Civilization.”

“In the civilization ruins, weren't you curious why I understood that kind of writing?”

Her voice was calm: “Because, in the records of our Ferryman Civilization, there is complete information about the civilization to which those writings belonged. We have witnessed their rise and fall, step by step.”

Qin Jin's eyes flickered with thought. Meeting Bai Huaiyu's gaze, he asked, “So, this current appearance is not your true form? Beings from other civilizations are truly [aliens] in the literal sense. Qin Jin had never seen a genuine alien before.”

“It is my true form.”

Bai Huaiyu shook her head and said calmly, “The life forms of our Ferryman Civilization are extremely similar to those of the Starfire Federation.”

“This is also one of the reasons why we were able to establish diplomatic relations after the Starfire Federation detected our existence.”

“Fortunately.”

Her tone was relaxed: “If it weren't for establishing diplomatic relations with the Federation, I wouldn't have had the chance to come and witness this burgeoning civilization.”

Upon hearing this.

Qin Chi keenly caught the key point: “Is it not like this within the Ferryman Civilization?”

“The civilization I come from is too ancient, so ancient that its development has stagnated.”

“Furthermore,” Bai Huaiyu did not conceal it, slowly saying, “due to some unspeakable reasons, while the Ferryman Civilization is not in danger of collapse, it is gradually decaying.”

“Soon after I was born, I had the opportunity to come to the Starfire Federation. Later, it was precisely because I couldn't accept the atmosphere within my civilization that I chose to come to the Federation and became a student of Wu Yuan in this generation.”

At this point, she changed her tone: “Do you have any other questions?”

Qin Chi shook his head.

“In that case, let's meet again when we return to the academy.”

Anticipation rose in Bai Huaiyu's eyes: “Last time, I had to carry out academy missions. This time, I can properly tour your hometown.”

She said goodbye and strode directly away from the spot, not even seeming to plan on taking a vehicle.

Behind her.

Candle Kite nodded at Qin Chi, then followed her.

It seemed that Candle Kite would accompany Bai Huaiyu throughout her travels.

Qin Jin watched the two figures disappear into the distance.

“Ferryman Civilization.”

“That name sounds quite profound.”

“An ancient civilization that has continued for a long time in the universe.”

“It seems the Federation has a good relationship with this civilization, otherwise, she wouldn't be allowed into Wu Yuan.”

With his doubts answered, Qin Jin carried the box into the vehicle, preparing to return home.

At the same time.

Bai Huaiyu walked in front, with Candle Kite following behind.

She didn't seem to have a clear destination, but being able to stop on this constantly upgrading life planet made her quite happy.

As they walked.

Bai Huaiyu's voice sounded.

“Candle Kite.”

“Miss Bai.”

“Qin Jin, besides being one of your Federation's geniuses of this generation, does he have any other identity?”

There was curiosity in her tone: “Can you tell me?”

“His exact identity, I cannot disclose.”

Candle Kite replied: “Miss Bai, you can consider Qin Chi as one of the Lei Yu Star's hosts recognized by the Federation.”

“Host?”

“Interesting.”

After a soft murmur, Bai Huaiyu said no more.

Qin Chi returned to his residence.

Entering the courtyard, he placed the briefcase on the stone table in the courtyard. When he opened it, under Qin Jin's gaze, there was only one item inside the briefcase.

It was an Judgment Corps emblem, and below the emblem, the words “Adjudication” were written in Federation script.

Qin Jin raised an eyebrow, reaching out to take it.

The moment he grasped the emblem, a prompt sounded, and a light screen simultaneously appeared, displaying information.

[Please input your Origin power for binding]

Origin power, as the core strength of a Martial Artist, varies for each individual, making it one of the most precise identification methods.

Qin Chi did as instructed, and his Origin power flowed into it.

[Binding in progress]

[Binding successful]

The last piece of information flashed, and in front of Qin Chi, the emblem projected a light screen, forming a portal about a person's height before him.

“This is...”

“It's a spatial expansion device, and from the looks of it, it's a spatial expansion device that people can enter.”

Spatial expansion devices are not uncommon in the Federation. The Federation's technological development in this area is advanced, but if it can be entered by people and is portable, its value increases significantly regardless of which point is achieved.

Among the major legions permanently stationed in the Federation, the Judgment Corps is undoubtedly the most dangerous existence, because their opponents are the mysterious and unpredictable Cosmic Gods.

But just as Martial God Su said in the past.

The Judgment Corps, having truly participated in god-hunting campaigns, is also extremely wealthy, truly deserving of being called rich and powerful.

Thoughts flickered.

Qin Chi stepped into the portal.

After a flash around him, the surroundings suddenly changed.

What first came into view was a medium-sized training ground, equipped with various facilities.

Qin Chi's gaze swept across, and he saw weather simulation facilities, environment simulation facilities, gravity adjustment facilities, and so on. Centered around the training ground, within Qin Jin's line of sight, there were cultivation rooms, medical rooms, rest rooms, and a series of rooms with different functions, through whose windows one could see professional equipment inside.

Qin Chi even saw an energy room, providing power for this place, as well as a large mecha maintenance room.

Inside, there were multiple automatic robotic arms, capable of performing routine mecha maintenance fully automatically.

This emblem.

It was clearly a portable base!

“Is this the Judgment Corps's gift?”

“According to Martial God Su, this is far from a grand gift; it's merely the 'interest' he spoke of.”

“Once I reach the Martial Saint Realm, I can personally go to the Judgment Corps.”

Thoughts flashed.

Qin Jin took a few steps within this training ground.

Just then, under Qin Chi's gaze, in the middle of the training ground, a faint ripple appeared, and a phantom figure slowly emerged.

His temples were frosty white, showing some signs of age.

Judgment Corps, Commander Duan Junyou!

This was not a recording, but a real-time communication, seemingly pre-arranged here, connecting automatically when someone entered the area. In the image, Commander Duan Junyou was not wearing a military uniform, but a pure white martial arts uniform, with a gentle demeanor, completely different from their first meeting.

He looked like an elderly person who would practice tai chi in a park.

Qin Jin's expression became a little more serious, and he said earnestly, “Qin Jin greets Commander Duan.”

During their first meeting, Commander Duan's attitude towards him was ordinary. Under Martial God Su's words, he had promised a “grand gift.”

However, after Qin Chi learned of his identity, he was no longer surprised.

Different identities were bound to lead to different stances and attitudes.

Star Gods are born from planets, and in this star sea containing countless mysteries, they are extremely conspicuous, very likely to become targets for other top-tier gods to scheme against and hunt. The Federation, on the other hand, needs the divine peculiarity of Gaia Planet. Therefore, the two have become highly compatible natural allies.

However.

Within the Starfire Federation, from top to bottom, everyone could place absolute trust in the Star Gods, but there was one place that could not, and should not, do so.

That was the Judgment Corps.

This was the Federation's last line of defense.

Hearing the voice, Commander Duan Junyou’s communication image shook his head, his voice steady: “I have resigned from the position of Tuanzhang.”

“Don’t call me that anymore.”

As his voice fell, he looked at Qin Jin, his expression revealing undisguised admiration, and said directly: “Qin Jin, I underestimated you.”

“Senior Martial God Su’s judgment is indeed better than mine.”

“I once imagined that you might master the power of the Star Gods when you ascend to the Immortal Dynasty and purify your body, and I also had some expectations for you, thinking that you might achieve this step early in the Martial Saint realm.”

“But I never thought that you could achieve this step in the Congenital Realm.”

“Qin Jin, you really gave me a big surprise.”

Qin Jin did not speak.

In fact, with the help of the Heavenly Azure Method, he completed this step even earlier.

Commander Duan Junyou praised him a few times and continued: “I have already informed the Legion.”

“You decide for yourself when you are a Martial Saint or a Immortal Dynasty, you can go to the Legion headquarters.”

“At that time, I hope the great gift I have prepared for you can help you.”

Upon hearing this.

Qin Jin said seriously: “Thank you, Senior Duan.”

“This is something you earned yourself; there’s no need to thank me.”

Commander Duan Junyou shook his head, his gaze sweeping around: “This portable base also contains cultivation resources produced by the Legion.”

“However, the items produced by our Judgment Corps tend to be explosive in nature. Since you have already entered Martial Abyss for cultivation, I assume you won’t lack relevant resources, so you can arrange them as you see fit.”

“In addition.”

“There is also an item placed in the cultivation room; you can go and see it later.”

At this point.

Commander Duan Junyou shook his head, sighing with emotion: “You are a true genius, but some rules cannot be broken, so I cannot admit you into the Legion.”

At this point, his tone shifted, and he asked: “Qin Jin, in the future—do you plan to join the army?”

Hearing the question, Qin shook his head.

“Senior Duan, in the future, I might go to the border battlefield and civilization battlefield for tempering, but I have no intention of joining the army.”

He was not a person who liked to be restricted.

Moreover, the existence of the Great Wilderness meant that he would not go into environments with too many restrictions.

“That’s good.”

Commander Duan Junyou nodded, implying something: “I look forward to the day I see you at the Legion headquarters.”

As the last sentence fell.

The communication image flickered and then disconnected.

Qin Jin let out a long breath.

He hadn't expected that Commander Duan would be waiting here to have a communication with him.

A thought flashed through his mind, and remembering the other party's words, he stepped towards the cultivation room.

At the same time.

In the star sea.

A starship was sailing steadily.

Inside the starship, Commander Duan Junyou watched the communication screen in front of him close, his eyes calm, containing a majestic aura.

“Grandfather.”

A voice sounded in front of him: “I didn’t expect you were waiting for this young fellow’s communication.”

The speaker, wearing the uniform of Tian Ce Academy, had a look of surprise in his eyes.

Tian Ce Academy, Immortal Dynasty Mentor.

Duan Yunhua.

“Although it’s a bit later than I expected, since it’s already arranged, then we’ll wait.”

Commander Duan Junyou’s voice was calm as he looked at the other party: “From your words, you’ve met Qin Jin?”

“I met him while leading a team on an academy mission,” Duan Yunhua explained.

“He truly stood out in that academy mission; one could say it was a joint effort of three academies, but he alone almost completed the mission, which also served as an eye-opener for the younger generation.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Commander Duan Junyou nodded, rose from his seat, walked to the window, and looked out at the silent star sea.

“As one gets older, one tends to be overly cautious.”

His aged voice held a hint of emotion: “It’s laughable to say, I’ve been a soldier all my life, facing those extraordinary beings superior to myself, and I’ve never been afraid, but now that it’s my turn to try to approach that step, I’ve become somewhat timid.”

“Yunhua.”

“In the future, if you have the chance, remember not to be like me. You must strike while the iron is hot.”

“Grandfather—”

Upon hearing this, Duan Yunhua hesitated: “Do you really have to go there? If you fail—”

“If I fail, I fail.”

Commander Duan Junyou shook his head, his voice long and drawn out: “Waiting for this communication and seeing such a young person who is forging ahead reminds me of the past.”

“At that time, I never considered the cost of failure.”

“Because, to fail means to die, and when a person dies, all becomes nothing, so why consider so much?”

“Being timid will only affect oneself.”

“Let’s just consider this a battle.”

His eyes gradually sharpened.

“Since I became the Tuanzhang of the Judgment Corps, I have never lost a Federation battle I participated in.”

During their conversation.

The starship delved deeper into the star sea, gradually entering an unknown, tranquil zone.

This portable base had complete facilities and ample resources.

As a legacy seed of Martial Abyss, Qin, upon returning to the academy and mentioning this item to the academy, would likely receive support from the academy, making this place even more complete.

Qin arrived in front of the cultivation room.

After binding with that emblem, all the internal structures had established identity recognition, and as Qin arrived, the door automatically opened.

The moment it opened, an astonishing chill swept in, and the surrounding temperature plummeted.

Qin's gaze fell on the center of the cultivation room.

There, an object glowing with light quietly hung in mid-air.

It was only palm-sized, looked like a scale, and emitted an astonishing coldness. Above the scale, countless complex and inexplicable patterns were engraved; those with insufficient ability would feel dizzy and faint at a glance, possibly even collapsing directly.

“This is—”

Qin Jin stepped closer. Below this scale, a light screen was suspended, displaying information within.

[Source: Breath of White Frost • Ankern]

[Location: Scale]

[After undergoing 987 methods to eliminate residual divine traces, only pure power remains]

His gaze swept across it.

The information was concise, but Qin, with a single glance, had already thought of much information.

“So—

“This scale comes from a god.”

“A god who fell into the hands of the Judgment Corps!”

“How grand will that future gift be?”

Thoughts churned in his mind, and Qin Chi thought of more, analyzing internally: “Because I have experience in turning the power of a god into my own use, this item was given to me, and any potential hidden dangers within it have also been eliminated.”

“But why is it this attribute?”

Centered around this divine scale, the cultivation room emitted an astonishing chill. As the door opened, it seemed as if some restriction was lifted.

In Qin's line of sight, ice crystals condensed in the air.

He thought it over and over, and suddenly remembered something.

“In the past, during the Star God Chosen, because I wasn’t yet clear about Ding Que’s intentions, and didn’t know that the Corona Sect and the Federation were in cooperation,

I once used the Profound Ice Body of the Nine Tribulation True Body to freeze Ding Que and had the Saber-toothed tiger send him back to the camp.”

“This kind of thing is quite secretive, but Senior Duan, as the overall commander at that time, would likely have reported the relevant information.”

“Did he think I might have talent in this area, and thus chose this as a gift?”

Qin Chi let out a long breath.

Senior Duan’s gift had undoubtedly taken some thought.

His thoughts stirred slightly.

Under the wrapping of spiritual power, he placed this scale into the shan he remnant piece.

After the scale was put away, the coldness quickly receded, and in a relatively short time, everything around returned to normal.

“Extraordinary origin, and the hidden dangers have been removed.”

“This is an excellent choice for a Heaven-Blessed Divine Object.”

“Breath of White Frost—”

Qin Jin’s eyes flickered with thought: “I wonder what form this god took in the past.”

“Having scales, it might not be some abstract form; could it be a god formed by an extraordinary life?”

The way star sea gods are born is extremely mysterious, one of the secrets that the Federation currently cannot fully uncover, and the forms of gods are also completely different.

With various thoughts in mind, Qin Jin carefully browsed the base.

This was not some secret opportunity, but its value was immeasurable. It was foreseeable that for a long time to come, it would accompany Qin and play a significant role.

This gift was extremely useful.

After a thorough inspection, Qin entered the mecha maintenance room.

With a slight thought, the azure lightning dark halberd appeared.

The surrounding robotic arms naturally activated during the scan. Qin glanced at the prepared robotic arms and chose to shut them down directly.

The more advanced a mecha, the more extraordinary materials it uses, and the more extraordinary factors are involved. When these collide and intertwine, they can indeed give birth to [Mecha Souls].

Qin Jin believed that those civilization-level mechas must possess their own consciousness, and could even cooperate with the top powerhouses who piloted them.

Although the azure lightning dark halberd did not yet possess a so-called Mecha Soul, automatic maintenance was too impure, and Qin had long been accustomed to performing comprehensive maintenance for the azure lightning dark halberd in this mecha maintenance room.

After all.

At the ceremony, the azure lightning dark halberd was about to truly enter the sight of the Great Wilderness tribes.

After a period of busy work.

Qin left this portable base.

A few days later.

The Great Wilderness.

Within the Si Huo Tribe, a joyful atmosphere permeated. Countless tribesmen gathered at the ceremony grounds, chatting with each other, occasionally looking forward.

This was the grandest event since the establishment of the new Si Huo Tribe; no one was absent, and the tribesmen who had gone out to explore had all returned to the tribe during this period.

In the crowd, Shi Cang held a water flask made of animal hide, looking joyful, taking a sip every now and then.

In the viewing area nearby.

The guests from various tribes who came this time were arranged in four directions. A clear difference could be seen from their clothing styles, as the harsh living environment of the Great Wilderness dictated that the customs of different tribes could vary greatly.

Now, tribesmen from the Si Huo Tribe were conversing with them, discussing matters seriously.

During this time, the Si Huo Tribe had also discussed trade matters with some visiting tribes, preparing to exchange goods and establish some trade channels in the future.

Time passed.

In the sky, two great suns hung high, and the sunlight was dazzling.

As the time approached, the chatter within the tribe first quieted down, then completely disappeared.

Qi Chuan stood at the forefront of the tribesmen. Beside him were Xia Yanh Tiger and Ding Yang, all three with solemn expressions. At this moment, under the eager gaze of the tribesmen, Qi Chuan raised the bone tablet in his hand and shouted: “Please, Lord Sacrificial Spirit!”

The bone tablet in his hand was not the one from the great sacrifice of the past, but a brand new one.

Its origin—

It was precisely the Three-Headed Strange Python!

On the bone tablet, secret texts were engraved. The Sacrificial Spirit mastered spiritual power, and the priests mastered secret texts; the combination of the two formed the Sacrificial Spirit tribes of the Great Wilderness.

His voice rang out.

Behind him, tribesmen spoke one after another, their eyes filled with expectation and respect, speaking in unison, their voices echoing through the heavens and earth.

Not far away.

The foreign guests observing the ceremony all became serious.

The strength of a Sacrificial Spirit often determined the prosperity of a tribe. They had been guests of the Si Huo Tribe for many days, and now—they finally had the opportunity to see the true body of the Sacrificial Spirit.

On the high platform that had been set up in front, there was no one, the throne was empty.

However.

Just at this moment, a brilliant light descended from the sky, landing on the high platform. Its interior could not be seen, and after several breaths, the light dispersed, and a huge figure suddenly appeared on the previously empty high platform.

azure lightning dark halberd.

The mecha sat on the throne, its rune patterns glowing faintly. As it appeared, a spiritual pressure spread, sweeping across the entire venue, drawing all attention.

Countless gazes fell upon it.

Qin sat on the throne, his demeanor majestic, yet also with a sense of ease.

In the distance, at the observation area, hushed conversations began the moment the azure lightning dark halberd appeared.

“What kind of method is this?”

“Why does the Sacrificial Spirit of the Si Huo Tribe look like this? It looks neither like a beast nor a stone, but rather human-shaped.”

“Human-shaped? I’ve heard in ancient legends that there used to be giants, tall and mighty. Could the Sacrificial Spirit of the Si Huo Tribe be such an existence?”

Someone seemed to murmur: “Lord Sacrificial Spirit, can you see anything?”

The Sacrificial Spirit appeared.

The ceremony was about to begin.

Qi Chuan’s expression was extremely serious, and just as he was about to continue the process, he heard the voice of Lord Sacrificial Spirit in his mind, interrupting him.

On the high platform.

Qin Jin sat on the throne, and the azure lightning dark halberd turned its head, looking undisguisedly towards the observation area, gazing at the foreign guests one by one.

Qin Jin spoke, his voice imbued with spiritual power and containing a majestic aura, echoing inside and outside the tribe, throughout the heavens and earth.

“Everyone.”

“Since you have come to my Si Huo Tribe as guests, why hide yourselves?”

“If word gets out, wouldn’t it seem like my Si Huo Tribe is impolite?”

At his words, silence fell.

Among the foreign guests observing, some changed expression, startled.

After a moment of silence.

From the observation area, a voice was the first to speak: “No wonder it can protect a tribe in this dangerous place.”

“Sacrificial Spirit of Offering Fire.”

“This is Tayun of the Erosion Sun Tribe, greetings.”
