215: Manifestation

The Divine Intent hovered in mid-air, perceiving the object it observed below, which was Ding Yang!

As early as their first meeting, Qin Jin had confirmed that the other party possessed a special physique. After truly cultivating the ancient human race methods and embarking on the path of a Heavenly Vault cultivator, his talent was undoubtedly further stimulated, and he had found the right path.

Looking from afar, Ding Yang sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, and his expression solemn. Bright flame patterns rose on the surface of his body, and his aura erupted, attracting the wandering spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which truly ignited around him. He looked like a pillar of fire, radiating light.

Amidst the fluctuations of his aura, spiritual energy was drawn in, entering his body and opening up his Spirit Ruins!

Spirit Void Realm!

Within the Heavenly Vault system, this was an extremely important step for the extraordinary. Opening the Spirit Ruins established a true connection with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Now, as his perception spread, combined with the inherent connection between the Sacrificial Spirit and the Tribe members, Qin Jin saw deeper information. He saw Ding Yang's Dao Foundation constantly trembling, and vaguely, the scene of the Spirit Ruins being opened appeared: “Opening the Spirit Ruins.”

Qin Chi muttered to himself.

He himself had already embarked on the right path, but it was his first time witnessing someone else break through a realm. Even though it was a lower realm, it still held reference value.

“With the first Spirit Void Realm cultivator, through his words and actions, the number of cultivators in the Si Huo Tribe will increase.”

“At that time, the Tribe will grow stronger.”

Qin Jin's thoughts flashed.

Most of the spiritual energy attracted by Ding Yang was of the fire attribute, obviously influenced by his physique. Observing the spiritual energy continuously impacting the Dao Foundation to open it, and then looking at the increasingly strong Si Huo Tribe, Qin Jin's thoughts stirred.

“Perfect, let me give you a hand.”

As soon as the thought arose, he acted. Within this Sacrificial Spirit Hall, Qin Jin's aura fully manifested. In the Spirit Ruins, as the True Dragon Cave Heaven swayed, the white dragon wandering within it surged out, rushing from the Spirit Ruins!

Just as it soared out of the Spirit Ruins.

The Fire God opened its eyes, and powers merged. The white dragon was dyed with fire, transforming into a fire dragon!

The fire dragon flicked its tail, emerging from the divine light of heaven and earth, appearing above the Si Huo Tribe, and swimming like a dragon towards Ding Yang's location.

Although it was early morning, the Si Huo Tribe was already bustling. The fire dragon circled in mid-air, drawing the attention of countless Tribe members, and exclamations rose continuously.

“It's Lord Sacrificial Spirit!”

“Lord Sacrificial Spirit has acted.”

Amidst the exclamations of attention, the fire dragon circled above Ding Yang.

Below, Ding Yang was enveloped in flames. Above, the fire dragon circled. Under Qin Jin's control, its body swayed, drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The surrounding spiritual energy was attracted, primarily of the fire attribute, gathering together to form an oval-shaped spiritual energy shield, completely enveloping Ding Yang.

After being refined by the divine light and becoming a [Myriad Spirit Body], the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became extremely harmonious with Qin Jin. This move he made now, while helping Ding Yang cultivate, was also a demonstration of his own abilities.

Ding Yang's progress in cultivation noticeably accelerated.

After completing all this.

Qin Jin's thoughts stirred. The fire dragon ascended into the sky. As it ascended, the flames circling its body rapidly dissipated, restoring its appearance as a white dragon, and it soared into the clouds.

A dragon's roar, rising from the clouds, echoed in all directions.

With the dragon's roar, under Qin Jin's control, the power of vows swept towards the sky, gathering into clouds. Like rain, it transformed into pale golden light particles, drifting down from the sky, falling downwards and adhering to every Tribe member.

As the light particles merged, a comfortable sensation spread throughout their bodies. Among the ways to use the power of vows, there was inherently a healing and soothing aspect.

After this scene.

Countless Tribe members reacted, and voices rose.

“Lord Sacrificial Spirit has manifested!”

“Thank you, Lord Sacrificial Spirit!”

“It is truly fortunate that our Tribe is protected by Lord Sacrificial Spirit.”

Amidst the cheers, some bowed respectfully, some showed reverence, and new Tribe members who had joined the Si Huo Tribe at this moment looked towards the center of the Tribe from afar, and then towards the white dragon circling in the clouds in the sky, their expressions complex, filled with respect and a hint of anticipation.

When a Tribe fell, and one joined another Tribe, no one knew what the future held.

But now, it seemed that the Lord Sacrificial Spirit of the Si Huo Tribe treated its Tribe members well.

Under countless gazes.

After completing everything, the white dragon's body turned, swept across the sky, and returned to the Cave Heaven through the divine light of heaven and earth.

Outside.

The priests, led by Qi Chuan, clearly witnessed this scene. Now, Qi Chuan, quite seasoned, quickly said, “Perfect, let's seize this opportunity to lead the Tribe members in a sincere offering, performing a minor sacrificial ritual.”

The priests acted according to his command.

His aura contained, Qin Jin was in the Sacrificial Spirit Hall, observing everything.

This act of divine manifestation consumed the power of vows, but at the same time, new power of vows was generated throughout the Si Huo Tribe. In a vision invisible to ordinary people, it formed clouds and continuously flowed into the Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

With a slight movement of his thoughts, the Abyssal Dragon appeared. After being cleansed by the power of vows, Qin Jin's body rose directly to the uppermost part of the Abyssal Dragon. Standing on the Abyssal Dragon, he raised his palm. With a slight movement of his thoughts, golden threads of the power of vows, like clouds, surged in his palm.

“Power of vows.”

Qin Chi gazed at this peculiar power in his hand.

He still remembered the scene when he first entered the Great Wilderness and encountered Qi Chuan and others. After a simple courtesy, the golden clouds swept towards him.

Previously.

He had thought that this [power of vows] was similar to the incense and prayer power in novels and biographies, obtained through offerings and worship.

But—

Along the way, he had learned a lot of information, from the origin of the Sacrificial Spirit system to the scene where the power of vows ascended to the sky during a sacrificial ceremony, was refined, and then returned to the human world.

Clearly, the power of vows in the Great Wilderness was closely related to the Mountain and River Divine Cauldron.

“Perhaps—”

Thoughts flickered in his mind, and Qin Jin's eyes lowered slightly: “The Sacrificial Spirit system researched by that human race ancient sage was precisely a method to attempt to utilize the power contained within the Mountain and River Divine Cauldron.”

“The sacrifices of the Great Wilderness human race, and the methods mastered by the Sacrificial Spirits and priests, are precisely a key to obtaining power.”

Qin Chi was deep in thought.

He pondered for a long time, then focused his mind, sat cross-legged atop the Abyssal Dragon, and began to cultivate.

Within the Spirit Ruins.

Inside the Eternal Cave Heaven, on the divine tree, a new black fruit had quietly sprouted, gradually forming.

Two weeks passed in a flash.

Today.

At Candle Kite's reminder, Qin Chi and Xiang Yu walked side by side towards the docking area.

In the starship docking area, starships from various star systems of the Federation were docked. As a monument of the Liuli Star System, the Mitian Dojo did not have a fixed enrollment period. Every year, every month, renowned individuals would come, and after passing tests, they could be admitted to the Mitian Dojo.

After stepping outside the docking area, Qin Jin said, “This is as far as I'll go.”

“Xiang Yu, thank you for your trouble during this time.”

Xiang Yu was responsible for everything concerning him during his time at the Mitian Dojo. For any matters during his cultivation at the dojo during this period, Qin Jin directly contacted him, thus the two had become familiar.

Hearing this, Xiang Yu smiled: “Qin Jin, your visit to the dojo this time has caused quite a stir.”

“The idea my master initially proposed was successfully completed by you, and now it seems the effect is even more unexpected.”

He looked towards the sailing boat docked in the distance: “Qin Jin, see you when the Miracle Corridor opens.”

“Mm.”

Qin Chi nodded.

Both of them had quotas, and if they wished in the future, they could undoubtedly meet again in the Miracle Corridor.

After saying goodbye, Qin Jin turned and prepared to leave.

Just then, a call came from behind.

“Qin Jin!”

The two looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a figure walking quickly towards them.

Su Jinxiu.

He was not wearing the Mitian Dojo martial arts uniform, but a specially made combat suit. As he approached, his gaze fell on Qin Jin: “I finally made it.”

“You came out of the secret transmission too quickly. If I hadn't seen it myself, I wouldn't have believed it at all.”

Looking at his attire, Qin Jin raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you also going on a journey?”

“That's right.”

Su Jinxiu laughed heartily, a flicker of anticipation in his eyes: “I have already undergone nine transformations as a Grandmaster and received the secret transmission of the Dojo.”

“Next, I will go to the most suitable cultivation ground for our Mitian Dojo to begin attempting to advance further and glimpse the Martial Saint Realm!”

“Are you referring to the Civilization Battlefield?”

“Precisely the Civilization Battlefield.”

“Forging weapons through battle, forging bodies through battle; there is no place more suitable for the cultivation of the Mitian secret transmission than the Civilization Battlefield.”

“Qin Jin.”

Su Jinxiu looked at him: “Your talent is the greatest I have ever seen. Next, I will work hard to cultivate and strive to narrow the gap between us.”

“Once I reach the Martial Saint Realm and obtain a title, let's fight again!”

His voice was pure and bright, making it impossible to feel any dislike.

Qin Chi smiled and nodded, “Good!”

With a response.

He no longer hesitated and continued, “Let's go.”

Under the gaze of Xiang Yu and Su Jinxiu, he turned and walked into the docking area. A flash of light enveloped him, and Candle Kite was already by his side, boarding the starship together.

“I'm off too.”

Seeing Qin Jin's back disappear, Su Jinxiu spoke.

“Senior Brother Su, so soon?”

Xiang Yu's voice rang out.

“If I hadn't been participating in the secret transmission, I would have set off with those senior and junior brothers some time ago. Now I've already delayed a few days, so of course, I need to go as soon as possible.”

After answering, Su Jinxiu looked at Xiang Yu and said earnestly, “Xiang Yu, next, as our group gradually heads to the Civilization Battlefield, you will also have to fully shoulder the responsibility of a ‘Senior Brother’.”

“Your talent is also outstanding. I look forward to seeing you on the Civilization Battlefield and being pleasantly surprised.”

“I will work hard.”

Xiang Yu replied earnestly.

Receiving the response, Su Jinxiu turned and walked to the other end of the docking area, boarding a specially designed starship.

Under Xiang Yu's gaze.

At both ends of the docking area, two starships with completely different styles and appearances almost simultaneously ascended into the sky. In the sky, the distance between them shortened slightly. After leaving the planet, their engines started, and they went their separate ways.

One headed north, rushing to the Civilization Battlefield.

One headed south, continuing the Martial Saint path.

On the ground.

Xiang Yu turned around and returned to the dojo to continue his cultivation.

This was the essence of a Star Sea Martial Artist.

Everyone had the same goal, but in the process, each was writing their own life story, leaving their own brilliant mark.

The sailing boat sailed on.

Qin Jin sat in the cockpit, and Candle Kite rested on the control panel. Outside was the magnificent scene of warp travel. After leaving the Mitian Dojo, they had already undergone four warp jumps, traveling at full speed.

Now, after the dazzling scenery outside the viewport lasted for a while, it completely disappeared, and the sailing boat arrived in another starfield of the Liuli Star System.

The moment the starship completed its warp jump, an undisguised scanning beam swept across the starship, performing identity verification. Candle Kite's eyes flickered with a data stream. After communication and confirmation, the starship was cleared to proceed.

This starfield appeared relatively primitive and had not undergone extensive development. Apart from the organized patrol starships of the Federation, there was nothing else in the star sea.

After a period of steady flight, the sailing boat stopped, hovering in the star sea.

Looking forward, in the endless star sea ahead, there stood a star sea fortress.

Its volume was immeasurable, somewhat similar to a space city, but clearly more militarized.

Qin Jin, seeing this scene, was thoughtful.

Tianhuang Star was classified as a Class 0 life planet, but the level of defense he saw now undoubtedly indicated its significant importance.

Just as they were waiting.

The sailing boat received an external communication.

When the communication screen connected, a young man in a military uniform appeared on the screen.

His expression was serious, and his gaze fell on Qin Jin: “Martial Abyss student Qin Chi?”

“That's right.”

Qin Jin nodded.

“We have received the relevant information. You have permission to enter Tianhuang Star.”

The young man in military uniform stated earnestly: “Soon, when the window period appears, you can enter Tianhuang Star.”

“You can dock your starship at the port. I will send a guide map to Candle Kite. Follow the map and proceed to the designated location at the star fortress port to wait.”

“Remember.”

“After entering Tianhuang Star, you can only leave during each window period. I hope you are prepared.”

During their conversation.

Under Candle Kite's control, the starship began to sail, entering the star fortress port.

Under Candle Kite's guidance, Qin Chi boarded the large platform on one side of the port.

The entire platform was empty. At the other end of the platform were two extremely massive mechanical arms, flashing with light, their bodies extending upwards in a curved shape, appearing to form a gateway.

Qin Jin stood on the platform.

There was no one around, only Candle Kite accompanied him. He looked at Candle Kite and asked, “Am I the only one entering?”

“During this window period, you are the only one entering Tianhuang Star.”

“The normal entry process for Tianhuang Star is also in batches, and not everyone enters during every window period.”

Candle Kite's reply sounded.

“The one who just communicated with me.”

Qin Jin thought of something and asked, “Is he a graduate of Martial Abyss?”

“That's right.”

Qin Chi nodded.

This was, after all, the Liuli Star System. Being able to accurately call out Candle Kite's name clearly indicated a connection with Martial Abyss.

In every word.

Time passed.

From the star fortress platform, the entire starfield appeared empty, with no celestial bodies visible, like a desolate and abandoned place.

During his conversation with Candle Kite.

Qin Chi sensed something. His voice abruptly stopped, and he looked forward.

As his gaze fell, at that instant, the originally deep and silent star sea suddenly erupted with an aurora!

The aurora was extremely vast and exceptionally brilliant, illuminating the star sea. It was at this moment that the giant star fortress where Qin Jin was located moved.

Under Qin Jin's gaze, starting from the star fortress, throughout the entire starfield, small psionic arrays shaped like prisms were activated. Power was transmitted and interacted, forming a grand star sea array that covered the entire starfield, enclosing the brilliant aurora that had erupted in the center.

It looked as if it was being captured!
