Chapter 371 Human Legend

“Perhaps the land of the Nine Provinces is barren, but with my Master here, the Clear Sky Sect will not stop at the Nine Provinces.”

Qin Ye answered seriously. After wandering outside for so many years, he had also come to understand why immortal cultivators considered the Nine Provinces barren. Compared to other regions, the heavenly treasures, earthly treasures, and cultivation Blessed Lands of the Nine Provinces were indeed scarce.

However, before he headed south, the sect had already made plans to expand outward.

No matter how many powerful immortal cultivators he had encountered, Qin Ye always believed his Master would lead the Clear Sky Sect toward prosperity. Moreover, the sect contained so many geniuses that pressured him to the point he could hardly breathe.

The moment he thought of those geniuses, Qin Ye’s heart became fiery.

Now that he had achieved the Nine Yin Profound Flame Body, he finally possessed the qualifications to compete against geniuses.

The only regret was that he was uncertain whether he could return to the Nine Provinces Continent.

Seeing how serious he was, Jiang Xi found it difficult to say more. She changed the topic and asked, “When will we leave this island?”

Qin Ye raised his eyes toward the end of the sea horizon and said, “Let’s wait a little longer. This sea region is likely far more vast than we imagined. I want to first fully master the Nine Yin Profound Flame.”

Jiang Xi revealed a smile, feeling that Qin Ye had become much steadier and was no longer as impulsive as before. That was a good thing.

……

Rolling Thunderclouds covered the Ancient Great Mountain Range. The Heavenly Tribulation that had lasted for nearly two hours finally passed. Every peak within the mountain range was protected by formations, but the mountain lands without formation protection appeared devastated, showing signs everywhere of having been ravaged by violent winds.

While disciples on the other peaks were still discussing the Heavenly Tribulation, Clear Sky Mountain had fallen into complete silence.

All disciples gazed upward toward the summit.

Above the mountaintop, a mass of flames blazed fiercely. Beneath the oppressive Thunderclouds, it resembled a small sun. Within the blazing fire sat a figure meditating.

It was Yin Jingxing!

Having successfully awakened the Extreme Yang True Body, Yin Jingxing was circulating the Primordial Unity Scripture, greedily devouring the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth within Clear Sky Mountain. Waves of violent wind surged upward from the mountain’s base, causing the forests to billow like green waves.

In the eyes of all disciples, Yin Jingxing resembled an immortal deity descending into the mortal world. They had personally witnessed his tribulation crossing, a spectacle unlike anything they had ever seen before.

When other disciples crossed tribulations, they could only endure Heavenly Lightning.

Yet Yin Jingxing used his own flames to devour the lightning itself.

The commotion caused by Yin Jingxing’s tribulation crossing was even greater than Yuan Li’s back then.

Anyone who witnessed this Heavenly Tribulation felt that the sect’s new strongest genius had been born.

The sect’s upper ranks had gathered before the Lingxiao Courtyard, looking up at Yin Jingxing while discussing excitedly.

“Yin Jingxing truly is a peerless genius. With such blazing flames, I fear no one within the Spirit Perception Realm could contend against him.”

“This is the disciple the Sect Master foresaw in a dream. Elder Shen spent four years searching before finally finding him.”

“I said it long ago. How could his aptitude possibly be so ordinary?”

“The Sect Master is truly incredible. He found yet another unparalleled heaven-defying genius. In the future, he and Yuan Li will support the skies of the Clear Sky Sect.”

“The champion of the next Grand Dao Tournament has already been decided, and his age will be unprecedentedly young.”

Zhu Yan, Yang Jueding, Clear Sky Daoist, Cheng Canghai, Zhang Yuchun, Li Dongyue, and the others each conversed among themselves.

Wei Tianxiong’s gaze toward Yin Jingxing was filled with complexity. The hands hidden within his sleeves trembled continuously.

Yuan Li’s awakening had already shocked him pleasantly, to the point he had once found it difficult to believe.

He had never imagined that the Clear Sky Sect could produce a genius even more monstrous than Yuan Li.

That was right.

He believed Yin Jingxing’s aptitude surpassed Yuan Li’s.

Yuan Li’s physique mainly focused on physical strength, while Yin Jingxing’s body could continuously generate blazing flames comparable to the radiant sun itself. The difference between them was enormous.

At least in Wei Tianxiong’s eyes, researching the fire attribute possessed greater prospects than researching the Body Cultivation Path.

He recalled how many people had previously told him that Yin Jingxing’s aptitude did not lose to Yuan Li’s. Back then, he had dismissed such claims with disdain.

But now, he had no choice but to admit that everyone had underestimated Yin Jingxing.

No.

There was one person who must have foreseen all of this long ago.

The Sect Master!

Wei Tianxiong could not help but feel overwhelming admiration toward Li Qingqiu. Even the former Sect Master of the Divine Origin Sect had never made him feel such respect.

He truly felt that revenge was becoming increasingly possible.

He could even envision himself living a life he once never dared imagine, reaching realms he had never previously touched.

Wei Tianxiong’s emotions reflected those of many others. Yin Jingxing’s awakening once again proved Li Qingqiu’s insight.

If Yuan Li’s story was one of inspiration, then Yin Jingxing’s story was even more legendary.

The Sect Master had sent people to search for four years before finally finding him. According to the calculated timeline, Li Qingqiu had already foreseen Yin Jingxing’s birth and aptitude the moment he was born.

If that was not the method of an immortal, then what else could it be?

If Li Qingqiu were to check the disciples’ loyalty now, he would discover that many disciples’ personal loyalty toward him was increasing.

At this moment, Li Qingqiu was inside his Cave Dwelling, accepting the inheritance of the 【Extreme Yang True Body】.

That was right.

He had copied Yin Jingxing’s 【Extreme Yang True Body】 Fate Trait and was currently undergoing transformation.

His consciousness had already fallen into an Illusory Realm.

He seemed to have been born within flames and grown amidst a sea of fire. His entire life within the illusion consisted solely of flames.

Only after Yin Jingxing successfully crossed his tribulation did Li Qingqiu begin the copying process. However, Yin Jingxing still needed time to stabilize his cultivation. The Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth throughout the entire Ancient Great Mountain Range was still surging toward him, and everyone’s attention remained focused on him.

As a result, no one noticed the abnormality within Li Qingqiu’s Cave Dwelling.

The disturbance caused by Fate Trait selection was not significant. This also meant that after successfully copying it, Li Qingqiu still needed time to fill the Fate Trait with the power it ought to possess.

A full hour passed.

Li Qingqiu opened his eyes.

Threads of Extreme Yang True Flame flowed from his eyes. A faint flame mark appeared upon his forehead, causing his entire person to radiate divine majesty.

He discovered that his body could generate Extreme Yang True Flame. He could also sense every source of fire in all directions, absorbing power from them and converting it into Extreme Yang True Flame.

He could even absorb power from the sun in the sky.

This was the terrifying aspect of the Extreme Yang True Body.

Not only could it generate Extreme Yang True Flame on its own, it could also transform all flames in existence into one’s own power.

Supreme Sovereign of Ten Thousand Flames!

Such a description was not exaggerated in the slightest!

Li Qingqiu could not help but summon the Dao Lineage Panel and search for Yin Jingxing’s portrait to examine it once more.

【Name: Yin Jingxing】

【Gender: Male】

【Age: 7】

【Loyalty (to Sect Master / Sect): 91 / 82 (Maximum 100)】

【Cultivation Aptitude: Human Legend】

【Comprehension: Outstanding】

【Fate Traits: Extreme Yang True Body, Reforged Body, Heaven-Bestowed Great Responsibility】

【Extreme Yang True Body: One of the sacred physiques of the mortal world, containing immense creation of Heaven and Earth. The fleshly body resembles the blazing sun itself, supreme among all flames. Possesses extraordinary comprehension toward fire-attribute Dao techniques and Divine Arts. Legend says the sun of the mortal world was transformed from a fully matured Extreme Yang True Body】

【Reforged Body: Every time one falls into desperation and suffers near-fatal heavy injuries, one’s physical strength and comprehension of the Path of Combat will increase】

【Heaven-Bestowed Great Responsibility: Possesses an extremely strong sense of responsibility. The greater the responsibility borne and the greater the pressure encountered, the more it can trigger stronger battle intent】

……

Human Legend!

Li Qingqiu had never seen these four words on anyone else before.

Previously, the highest level had been Extraordinary and Transcendent.

Now, a new level had appeared.

Yin Jingxing’s panel even surpassed Song Qianxiang’s!

Li Qingqiu admired the new description of the 【Extreme Yang True Body】, especially the latter half. He felt that this legend might actually be true.

The sun in the sky was transformed from an Extreme Yang True Body!

Now that he also possessed the 【Extreme Yang True Body】, did that not prove he too could transform into a sun in the future?

At this moment, he felt that everything had become different, similar to the sensation he experienced when he first obtained the 【All-Law Spiritual Eyes】.

Extreme Yang True Flame was continuously being generated within his body, filling every inch of his flesh and organs. The Extreme Yang True Flame did not conflict with his Vital Energy. Instead, they formed a perfectly harmonious sensation, like the relationship between blood and flesh.

If he wished, he could rapidly strengthen the Extreme Yang True Flame within his body.

However, when he thought of Yin Jingxing, he felt he could not continue hiding within his Cave Dwelling.

The 【Extreme Yang True Body】 would become one of his trump cards.

He would not reveal it easily.

Right now was Yin Jingxing’s moment of glory.

As his Master, he had to be present.

He rose to his feet and walked toward the stone gate of the Cave Dwelling.

Nangong E emerged from the wall and looked toward Lin Chuan, who was meditating beside the Spiritual Pool.

“Lin Chuan, did you feel that Master was very hot just now?”

Without opening his eyes, Lin Chuan replied, “Outside is also very hot.”

Nangong E looked at him and felt that he understood everything, yet had become increasingly unwilling to ask questions.

Meanwhile—

Li Qingqiu made his way into the Lingxiao Courtyard. The sect’s upper ranks had already gathered there, while Yin Jingxing still meditated high in the sky. The power of his Extreme Yang True Body had already restrained itself considerably, showing that he was consciously reducing damage to the sect.

Upon seeing Li Qingqiu arrive, everyone immediately surrounded him.

“Senior Brother, you actually went back to cultivate? Isn’t your heart a little too big?”

Li Sijin could not help but complain. When she heard Yin Jingxing had fallen into Chen Huilan’s pill cauldron, she had felt the same way Chen Huilan did at the time—as though the heavens had collapsed. Even now, recalling it still made her heart tremble.

Zhang Yuchun followed up, saying, “Senior Brother, let Yin Jingxing be placed under the Free Spirit Hall.”

The moment those words were spoken, the other Hall Masters became anxious and began fighting to recruit him as well.

“Enough. Jingxing will not join any hall. My positioning for him is the same as Yuan Li’s. In the future, he will be responsible for warfare.”

Li Qingqiu spoke, interrupting everyone’s discussion.

Wei Tianxiong’s gaze toward Li Qingqiu burned with incomparable fervor, making Li Qingqiu feel somewhat uncomfortable.

“Alright. Go stabilize the sect first. Spread the news truthfully to avoid the disciples overthinking things,” Li Qingqiu ordered.

Everyone immediately accepted the command and departed.

Soon, Li Qingqiu was the only one left within the Lingxiao Courtyard.

He walked to his chair and sat down, then quietly admired Yin Jingxing’s figure.

After awakening, Yin Jingxing’s body had not changed in appearance, but Li Qingqiu could clearly see his cultivation rapidly increasing.

This child had already reached the Eighth Layer of the Nourishing Vital Energy Realm!

A seven-year-old at the Eighth Layer of the Nourishing Vital Energy Realm!

Li Qingqiu finally understood what it meant to possess Human Legend-level cultivation aptitude.

It truly redefined the meaning of genius!

It seemed Yin Jingxing would be unable to participate in the next Grand Dao Tournament.

Li Qingqiu felt this would not do. It was time to give disciples of the Spirit Perception Realm opportunities to display themselves as well.

After all, many disciples belonged to the type who accumulated strength over time. They were not outstanding during the Nourishing Vital Energy Realm, yet once they reached the Spirit Perception Realm, their brilliance emerged sharply.

He began considering how to formulate rules that would allow Spirit Perception Realm disciples to fully display their abilities.

Suddenly, he felt that restricting cultivation realms would not work. If that were the case, it would be no different from the Grand Dao Tournament.

Differences in cultivation level were themselves distinctions between immortal cultivators.

In the immortal cultivation world, enemies would not spare someone simply because their cultivation was low.
