214: Tide Secret

Qin Jin's voice was steady; this was not a polite refusal, but an objectively existing fact.

Under Ji Yuan's gaze, he concluded, "Under these circumstances, I cannot decide on the specific person to undergo the tribulation."

"However—"

His voice grew a bit more serious as he slowly said, "This time, cultivating in the Mitian Dojo and receiving the Mitian Martial God's secret transmission, I am considered half a disciple of the Dojo and am willing to contribute my humble efforts."

"Venerable Ji."

He addressed Ji Yuan, but his gaze was directed towards the old man not far away.

The old man showed a sense of relief and was not nervous, even though it concerned his life and death, as if he had already seen through everything.

Qin Jin pondered for a moment: "I will report the information regarding this senior through my own channels."

"After the planet's divine anomaly emerged, the first batch of individuals granted participation qualifications were meritorious figures from the Federal Military Department."

He looked at the old man: "The Mitian Dojo stands in this Linyuan Star. The previous Grand Master must have also fought for the Federation on the civilization battlefield, so he should meet the conditions."

At this point.

Qin Jin stopped speaking.

A thoughtful expression flashed across Ji Yuan's face as he looked at Qin Jin and said in a deep voice, "Qin Jin, no matter the outcome, Mitian Dojo and I owe you a favor."

Although Qin Jin did not directly agree, he was willing to help and pointed out the path for him.

The Mitian Dojo stands here, and generations of its disciples and strong practitioners have gone to the civilization battlefield, maintaining close ties with the Federal Military Department. This is the most convenient way to obtain a spot.

"You are too kind, senior."

Qin Jin replied.

Just then.

To the side, the old man, who had been silently observing and had not spoken, said, "It's difficult for you to spend so much effort on this old man."

"Qin Jin."

He changed the subject: "You have already obtained the Weapon Forging Manual. As you continue to study and cultivate, you will be able to glimpse deeper information."

"That secret scroll in your spiritual world is not just a martial arts inheritance; it also holds other wonders."

Qin Jin looked thoughtful.

The legacy of the Mitian Martial God must be extraordinary, not to mention that the Weapon Forging Manual was a method created and organized by the Mitian Martial God during his peak, clearly containing other means.

After the tianshen divine weapon departed, it signified the complete end of this secret transmission.

After exchanging a few more words, Qin Jin did not stay long. He glanced at the tianshen divine weapon suspended in mid-air, then left the canyon. Outside the canyon, dedicated personnel were waiting to guide him back to his residence.

Immediately upon returning to his residence, Qin Jin reported the information about the previous Grand Master of the Mitian Dojo through his own channels.

During his time on Lei Yu Star, he had been responsible for receiving Federal meritorious individuals participating in the planetary divine anomaly, thus maintaining contact with the relevant personnel.

He had always been true to his word; since he had agreed, he would see it through. As for the outcome, that was not something Qin Jin needed to consider.

After cultivating for several days within the tianshen divine weapon, Qin Jin had many unread messages on his terminal. He checked them one by one, replied, and then his gaze lingered on one particular message.

The message source was Teacher Chu, Chu Tianyi.

After their last meeting, due to an encounter in the Spirit Energy World, Teacher Chu had left in a hurry. The message he sent now contained no other content, just a document.

Qin Jin raised an eyebrow, opened it, and began to read. It appeared to be a paper, discussing the Spirit Energy World.

"The ebb and flow of the Spirit Energy World's tides are closely related to the quantity and quality of Spiritual Energy Users."

Turning the page, after a careful read, Qin Jin let out a long breath.

According to the content of this article, in the Spirit Energy World, which is a complete mirror image of the real universe, a spiritual energy tide will erupt in a certain area of the Spirit Energy World after a period of time. After the spiritual energy tide, the spiritual energy power in its area will increase, and Spiritual Energy Users in the corresponding location in the real world will also cultivate more smoothly during this period.

Similarly.

Spiritual energy tides are not without origin. The article, supported by information statistically recorded by the Federation, states that every spiritual energy tide in the mirror world corresponding to the Federation occurred precisely before a frequent emergence of [Spiritual Energy Users].

It seems.

The increase in the number of Spiritual Energy Users seems to have influenced the changes in the Spirit Energy World.

"It seems that this has a similar effect to the relationship between Heavenly Vault cultivators and heaven and earth."

"The Spirit Energy World chooses Spiritual Energy Users, and the cultivation of Spiritual Energy Users, in turn, affects the Spirit Energy World."

"Looking at it this way, after I entered the Spirit Energy World and gained spiritual energy affinity, it must have been because my life essence continuously improved, meeting the spiritual energy's requirements, or even far exceeding them, that such a scene occurred."

"As for the reason for the repulsion within himself," Qin Jin's eyes narrowed: "Perhaps it's because I have already formed a connection with the heaven and earth of the Great Wilderness?"

Thoughts swirled in his mind.

Qin Jin tentatively initiated a communication with Teacher Chu.

The result showed that the other party was not in a communicable area.

"Teacher Chu seems to be very invested in this matter."

He muttered to himself, recalling the question Chu Tianyi initially posed to Venerable Observer.

"Is there life within spiritual energy?"

This was a question Chu Tianyi cared about deeply, even choosing to ask it when he had the opportunity to directly face a deity.

"If there is life in spiritual energy, or if spiritual energy itself is [life]."

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qin Jin stopped pondering.

This kind of thing could be observed, but it was not something he could delve into at his current stage.

The biggest difference between a Spiritual Energy User and martial arts is that martial arts is an extraordinary path originating from the Federation, while Spiritual Energy Users have long existed in the star sea, having truly continued for countless years, and also exist in other civilizations. This is, in the true sense, an extraordinary profession where the tall ones will block the sky if it falls.

His thoughts shifted, Qin Jin closed the message interface, and softly called out: "Candle Kite."

A flash of light.

Candle Kite's figure appeared before him.

During this period of cultivation at the Mitian Dojo, the Mitian Dojo had prepared everything for him, their guest, so Candle Kite, his little assistant, didn't need to be active.

Looking at Candle Kite, Qin Jin said, "My cultivation at the Mitian Dojo has come to an end."

"Has the second location on that Martial Saint map been unlocked?"

"It has been unlocked."

Candle Kite smiled brightly, and with a wave of her hand, a star map of the Liuli Star System appeared beside her.

Among them, Linyuan Star, where the Mitian Dojo is located, was lit up. At this moment, starting from Linyuan Star, light formed a line, extending outwards, and finally stopping at another planet within the Liuli Star System.

Compared to Linyuan Star, this planet was further from the Federation's border.

Qin Jin's gaze fell upon it, his eyes narrowing slightly.

From the star map, this planet appeared dim and extremely ordinary. He lightly touched the star map, and a message appeared.

[Tianhuang Star]

[Level 0 Life Planet]

"Level 0?"

Qin Jin raised an eyebrow.

It was well known that the Federation's life planets were divided into levels 1-10.

This was the first time he had seen a Level 0, a rating that should not appear in the classification of life planets.

A look of curiosity flashed across his face.

Before him.

Candle Kite's voice sounded.

"Qin Jin, a Level 0 Life Planet is a special classification given by the Federation to a certain type of planet."

"This type of planet refers to a pseudo-Gaia Planet that failed to give birth to a Star God but still exists."

"Failed to give birth?"

Qin Jin's spirit was shaken.

In an instant, he recalled the [tragedy] he had heard about during the Heavenly Selection period.

The historical tragedy of the past was what reduced the intensity of the Heavenly Selection.

The seed of termination with which he forged the Divine Advent Cave Heaven came from a failed Gaia Planet, but that planet, with the failure of the Star God's birth, was also destroyed.

Now it seems.

The paths of these failed planets are undoubtedly completely different.

"When do we depart?"

Qin Jin asked.

"In two weeks."

Candle Kite said: "Qin Jin, entering Tianhuang Star requires prior preparation."

"Not only does your identity need to be verified, but also because entry into the planet's interior is only possible during specific [window periods]."

"During other times, it is impossible to enter."

"In two weeks, it will coincide with the start of Tianhuang Star's window period, so we will depart then."

Qin Jin nodded.

"A planet that cannot be entered during normal times."

His eyes showed interest: "Candle Kite, just remind me when it's time to depart."

After leaving a message, Qin Jin went to the cultivation room in his residence and began to cultivate.

Martial Abyss, and even the seniors who truly thought highly of him, undoubtedly put in a great deal of effort.

And what he could do was to continuously grow, truly transforming his talent into substantial power, which would be the best return for everything.

For this, his passion for cultivation had not diminished in the slightest.

The Great Wilderness.

It was early morning, with the rising sun. The sunlight and divine light, filtered through the sky, intertwined, creating a magnificent scene.

Qin Jin's figure appeared within the Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

Enveloped in divine light, under Qin Jin's intentional control, the interior of the Sacrificial Spirit Hall became increasingly spacious, while the spiritual energy concentration significantly increased.

This feeling was as if Qin Jin had established a direction, and with the help of divine light, he had set up a [Spirit Gathering Array] within this Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

Within the hall, Qin Jin's perception spread outwards, reaching the outside world.

Lively, bustling.

This was Qin Jin's first impression.

This was an unprecedented grand expansion; the number of people in the entire Si Huo Tribe had surged. Throughout the Tribe, even though it was early morning, everything was already bustling.

Priests were guiding newly joined tribesmen in worshipping Lord Sacrificial Spirit. As they moved, cloud-like power of vows emerged, flowing towards the Tribe's center.

Sturdy tribesmen, in groups, were busily engaged in construction.

Other tribesmen were active in small teams, either carrying items themselves or with the help of fierce beasts.

Those were [resources] collected from the Fei Xue Tribe and the Iron Tooth Tribe, encompassing all aspects. Under Qin Jin's observation, there were even [spirit stones] among them, and quite a few.

Qin Jin had once discovered a spiritual stone vein deep underwater while exploring the Great Wilderness. The appearance of spiritual stones here now undoubtedly indicated the existence of spiritual stone veins within the territories of these two Tribes.

For the Si Huo Tribe, where some tribesmen had already begun cultivating the Heavenly Azure Method, this was also an extremely useful resource.

The entire Tribe was thriving.

Thinking of the Si Huo Tribe, which was once small and precarious, and then seeing its current scale, a sense of satisfaction arose in Qin Jin's heart.

His perception retracted, and Qin Jin began to read the messages left by Qi Chuan.

Inside, it was the result of the discussions of Xia Yanh Tiger and others, concerning the future development direction of the Si Huo Tribe.

"Gathering Tribes to form a nation, the Si Huo Kingdom?"

"If the Si Huo Tribe can truly develop smoothly in the future—"

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and his spirit extended, finding Qi Chuan.

At this moment.—

Qi Chuan was in discussion with a priest who had joined from the Tu Yang Tribe.

During their conversation, Qin Jin's calm voice sounded in his mind.

"Just proceed as you wish."

With that single sentence, there was no further sound. Qi Chuan's words paused.

The other priests in the discussion, seeing this, quickly asked, "Elder Qi, what's wrong?"

Qi Chuan called out a few times in his mind, and seeing no further response, he said, "Lord Sacrificial Spirit left me a message."

"Lord Sacrificial Spirit?"

Upon hearing the reply, several priests were visibly excited. They had followed the main force of the Tu Yang Tribe and clearly witnessed that battle, leaving a deep impression of this new Lord Sacrificial Spirit.

"Elder Qi, when will Lord Sacrificial Spirit appear?"

"Grand Elder, can we visit Lord Sacrificial Spirit now?"

All sorts of questions were asked.

"Lord Sacrificial Spirit is in secluded cultivation and should not be disturbed."

Qi Chuan calmly said, "The Tribe is a bit chaotic right now. Once everything is adjusted, everyone will naturally be able to see Lord Sacrificial Spirit."

As his voice fell, he looked towards a figure on the side who showed hesitation: "Do you have any other questions?"

"Grand Elder."

The priest hesitated for a moment, then finally asked, "Can we request Lord Sacrificial Spirit to tell us about the current situation of Qi Shan?"

Great Wilderness Tribes are closely linked to their Sacrificial Spirits. These priests are the people most closely related to the Sacrificial Spirit.

After Qi Shan was taken away by Qin Jin that day, there had been no news. He hesitated repeatedly before finally asking.

Upon hearing this.

Qi Chuan was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and patted his shoulder.

Once, when the former Sacrificial Spirit of the Si Huo Tribe, Stone Saint, fell, he was also extremely saddened.

Opening his mouth, Qi Chuan was about to speak.

Just then.

A calm yet majestic voice echoed through the void, sounding beside them.

"Qi Shan is recuperating in a secret place."

"If all goes well in the future, you will still be able to see him."

With that single sentence.

The place was quiet for a moment.

But then, the person who had asked the initial question reacted, and a look of reverence, mixed with joy, appeared on his face: "

Thank you, Lord Jin!"

The other few also reacted, and together with Qi Chuan, they bowed remotely towards the Tribe's center, towards the Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

"Alright."

Looking at the several priests whose spirits had noticeably lifted, Qi Chuan said earnestly, "The Lord Sacrificial Spirit of our Tribe has an extraordinary origin. What he says must be accurate."

"Just do your work with peace of mind."

"Yes!"

At the same time.

After retracting his spirit, Qin Jin felt a sensation, and his Divine Intent left his body, ascended into the air, and finally stopped at a certain place in the Tribe.

His perception probed downwards.

A figure sat cross-legged, undisturbed by the outside world, cultivating.

To be precise, he was breaking through a realm!

The Heavenly Azure Method was spreading within the Si Huo Tribe, and now some tribesmen were beginning to make progress and leave their mark on this path.
