71: Sirius swallowing the sun? You'll choke to death!

Three hundred miles north of Huaixuan City.

The foothills meandered, and Spiritual Qi welled up from the earth veins, condensing into a thin mist.

This was originally a blessed land of the Su Family, but it was later occupied by King Yan and became a place for closed-door cultivation.

Xiao Chen stepped inside, the corners of his mouth curling up in satisfaction.

"The Spiritual Qi here is abundant, perfect for a Breakthrough!"

"Hmph! Qin Tian!"

"You and You Ruoli took my Xiao Family's fengtian seal. Once I Breakthrough to the Grotto-Heaven Realm, I will make you pay!"

"The Heaven Swallowing Domain can devour any Grotto-Heaven. Qin Tian, no matter how strong your dao seed is, the Grotto-Heaven you condense will be no match for the Heaven Swallowing Domain!"

Xiao Chen muttered to himself with a cold laugh.

"However, a trash like Qin Tian who just reached the Dao Entry Realm couldn't possibly Breakthrough to the Grotto-Heaven Realm before me."

"You Hen!"

"Guard the outside. Don't let anyone in."

"Yes, Master."

King Yan, You Hen, bowed. His hollow eyes showed no emotion... Meanwhile, outside the foothills, Qin Tian narrowed his eyes.

"This place has quite dense Spiritual Qi, comparable even to some of the main peaks of the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect."

"By the looks of it, it should be a naturally formed blessed land, supplemented by a spirit-gathering array. It took generations of accumulation to gather so much Spiritual Qi," Hua Jianjia explained.

"There are man-made Restrictions here. It won't be easy to find King Yan and Xiao Chen."

Qin Tian smiled slightly.

It might not be easy for others, but for him, it was simple!

In the heaven and earth map, two white lights were exceptionally bright.

They were none other than Xiao Chen and King Yan, who had been marked by his Divine Thought!

"Senior Hua, I have a way to find them, but we can't just go like this. We need to disguise ourselves."

"Why?"

Qin Tian's lips curled up. "As the saying goes, 'after the deed is done, brush off your clothes and leave, hiding your deeds and name deeply'..."

"Xiao Chen holds grudges. We just need to beat them up; there's no need to reveal our identities."

"Besides, giving Xiao Chen another enemy isn't a bad thing, even if that enemy is fictional and doesn't exist..."

"You brat, you're full of bad ideas!"

"But I like it...!"

Hua Jianjia's lips pursed, finding Qin Tian even more pleasing to the eye.

"You flatter me, Senior." Qin Tian took out two masks. "These are the Hundred-Change Masks. Take one, Senior."

"From now on, I'm Dugu Qiubai, and you're the Invincible East!"

"Dugu Qiubai? Invincible East? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up with names like these?"

"Senior, don't sweat the details. We're only using them once. Who will know it's us?"

Qin Tian stuffed a mask into Hua Jianjia's hand.

Hua Jianjia's eyes lit up as she put on the mask.

This sneaky feeling actually seemed quite nice... In the center of the foothills.

Xiao Chen had made all the preparations, and the heaven swallowing seed manifested behind him.

Various liquids flowed out of jade bottles and merged into his body.

These were spiritual liquids Xiao Chen had refined in advance, concentrating many Heaven And Earth Treasures.

He had calculated it countless times.

With these spiritual liquids and the boost from the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art.

The probability of him condensing the Heaven Swallowing Domain and successfully breaking through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm was...

One hundred percent!

There wouldn't be the slightest accident!

Unless someone came specifically to disturb him.

But Xiao Chen was very confident.

No one knew about his Breakthrough except for You Hen, who was under his control.

Furthermore, the only ones who knew he had come to Great Gan were You Hen, Old Woman Jin, and You Qian.

Old Woman Jin was dead.

As for You Qian... Xiao Chen snorted. "A love-struck fool who only has eyes for me will never reveal anything. Besides, she doesn't know I've come to this blessed land outside the city..."

After calculating carefully for a long time, Xiao Chen finally felt completely at ease.

"It's starting..."

Boom!

Continuous explosions sounded inside Xiao Chen's body as the various spiritual liquids collided and erupted, triggering the deepest medicinal power!

In the sky, dark clouds gathered, and the entire foothills instantly fell into darkness.

At the same time, within the dark clouds, the shadow of a wolf that blotted out the sun suddenly appeared, leaping up as if to devour the high-hanging sun!

Hua Jianjia's eyes froze, somewhat incredulous. "A heavenly phenomenon has actually appeared!"

This meant that Xiao Chen also possessed peerless talent!

Qin Tian looked up, his lips curling. "Thinking of a Heavenly Wolf Swallowing the Sun? I'll make sure you choke to death!"

"Invincible East, move!"

Hua Jianjia snapped back to reality. The Five-Colored Flowing Clouds behind her transformed into a fist imprint taller than a mountain and smashed down heavily.

Instantly, the earth split and the mountains shook; the entire foothills were trembling.

Xiao Chen, who was in the middle of his Breakthrough, opened his eyes in horror, filled with disbelief.

"Damn it, why am I so unlucky? To have such a powerful being nearby!"

Right now, he was at the critical moment of his Breakthrough. He couldn't leave, or all his efforts would be in vain!

"You Hen, kill the people outside for me!"

"Yes, Master."

You Hen soared into the air and charged toward Hua Jianjia.

Qin Tian smiled slightly.

More than ten Mountain-Splitting Flags appeared in his hand, and he threw them forward all at once.

Rumble!

On the Mountain-Splitting Flags, array patterns glowed. Wherever they passed, the foothills trembled continuously, boulders rolled down, and a thunderous rumbling sound echoed.

Suddenly, the mountain peak cracked. A fissure spread from top to bottom at an incredible speed, and a dazzling white light burst out from within the gap!

The rumbling was incessant.

The entire foothills seemed to have gained consciousness, pulling apart to the left and right. They continued to separate.

It looked as if it had been split in half by a giant mountain-splitting axe!

Qin Tian looked down.

Where the foothills split, Xiao Chen was staring upward in dazed shock.

His expression was like corn put into a hot iron pot, exploding all at once...!

Xiao Chen's eyeballs almost used his eyelids as a springboard, ready to jump three feet high...!

"How... how could I be discovered... Pfft!"

At the critical moment of his Breakthrough, Xiao Chen got distracted. His throat felt sweet, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood!

[Detected the extreme shock of the son of destiny Xiao Chen, absorbing...]

Qin Tian was delighted. After breaking through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm, the seven emotions seed had begun to absorb emotional energy again.

Inside the Hongmeng Mysterious Realm.

The seven emotions seed completely absorbed the power of fear, emitting a faint glow.

Qin Tian could feel threads flowing beneath the seven emotions seed, as if a root had grown, thoroughly taking root within the Hongmeng Mysterious Realm!

However, it seemed to be lacking a bit... Then... "Halt!"

"This mountain was opened by me!"

"This tree was planted by me!"

"What kind of thing are you, daring to Cultivate in the Immortal Cave of me, Dugu Qiubai?"

"Did you get your Grandpa Dugu's permission?"

"Now get the hell out for this Grandpa!"

Xiao Chen's face changed drastically.

"Damn it, who exactly is this guy? To appear at such a critical time!"

"No, the Breakthrough cannot be interrupted. I must stabilize him first!"

Thinking this, Xiao Chen softened his expression and said, "This Fellow Daoist Dugu, I am Xiao Chen. I am at a critical juncture and cannot move. Please stay your hand, Fellow Daoist. Once my Breakthrough is over, I will surely present you with a generous gift!"

"Oh?"

"If I heard correctly."

"You just said that you can't move right now, right?"

Qin Tian's lips curled up high, his eyes shining with anticipation.

Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of crisis instantly surged within him.

"Fellow Daoist... think twice..."

Boom!

Before Xiao Chen could finish, a thousand-pound boulder crashed down...
