"Speaking of which, I'm ashamed. I didn't expect Sect Master Qin to reach such a realm before me even though I've wasted so many years. It's really embarrassing."
Ming Jingshan's words were full of emotions.
The second realm of Grandmaster.
He had always been pursuing this realm.
It was a pity.
He hadn't even reached the peak of the first realm of Grandmaster, let alone the second realm of Grandmaster.
Qin Shujian smiled faintly. "Grandmaster Ming, you're overpraising me. There should be many second realm Grandmasters in the imperial court. With your status, it shouldn't be a problem for you to gain some insights."
"I'm afraid Sect Master Qin is wrong about this. Although there are second realm Grandmasters in the imperial court, it's not easy to invite them."
Ming Jingshan shook his head and said.
"If I hadn't heard that Sect Master Qin had opened the space secret realm, I wouldn't have come all the way here. However, I won't ask for an observation spot for free. I heard that a disciple in your sect needs 10,000 contribution points to observe.
Coincidentally, I've also registered an identity in the Yuan Pavilion and have tens of thousands of contribution points.
How about exchanging three times the contribution points for a disciple in your sect for a spot? "
Three times the contribution points.
That was 30,000 contribution points.
It could be seen that Ming Jingshan had indeed come with sincerity.
Hearing this.
Qin Shujian pondered for a moment and nodded. "Since Grandmaster Ming has spoken, then it's decided!"
"Haha, Sect Master Qin is a straightforward person. I owe you a favor this time."
Ming Jingshan was also in a good mood.
30,000 contribution points were a lot for ordinary people, but for him, it was only six million taels of silver.
This price was high, but it also depended on who had it.
Ming Jingshan was a formation Grandmaster and had the support of the huge Ming family behind him.
Although taking out a few million taels of silver wasn't as simple as eating and drinking, it wasn't to the extent of hurting him.
Ming Jingshan came quickly and left quickly as well.
After the matter was settled, all that was left was to wait.
In the Yuan Sect, there were no other places for people to stay. If Ming Jingshan wanted to stay, he could only go to Liang Shan City.
"Ming Jingshan."
Qin Shujian tapped his finger lightly with a faint smile on his face.
He was different from Fang Xinglan.
The Heavenly Deployment Sect was not worthy of his attention, so he still had to fight for the benefits.
But Mingjing Mountain was different.
Not to mention the relationship between the two of them, just the fact that the other party was a member of the imperial court was enough to make people treat him with caution.
Qin Shujian shook his head when he recalled the power of the Human Emperor.
As long as the Human Emperor was alive, there were not many forces in the world that could contend with the Imperial Court.
After Mingjing Mountain.
Many people from other sects came to visit.
As for his objective, it was the same as Fang Xinglan and Ming Jingshan. He hoped to obtain an opportunity to observe.
Regarding this.
Qin Shujian directly stated the price. You could either take some high-grade materials or some treasures.
For a time, many people were eliminated.
After all, no matter what …
The people who could take out these things were not from ordinary sects.
Time passed.
Rumble!
There was a lot of noise in the sky, and a large amount of Spirit Qi surged. The entire Liang Mountain Spirit Protectorate seemed to be slightly shaken.
In the Yuan Sect, Qin Shujian raised his head and looked at the changes in the sky. In his perception, the Liang Mountain Spirit Protectorate had expanded from its original foundation.
"Another region has advanced and merged with the Liang Mountain Spirit Protectorate!"
It was normal for a region to advance.
The Liang Mountain Spirit Protectorate was surrounded by a bunch of True Regions and Ordinary Regions. The abundant Spirit Qi was enough to affect the surrounding regions.
This was a situation where a region had advanced.
This was not the first time it had happened.
Every time a region advanced, it meant that the Liang Mountain Spirit Protectorate's territory would expand. At the same time, the Spirit Qi would become denser.
"There is no such thing as breaking the shackles from a Spirit Protectorate to a Major Domain. It can only rely on time and the density of Spirit Qi to slowly advance."
"Apart from the density of Spirit Qi, there is not much difference between a Spirit Protectorate and a Major Domain."
Qin Shujian shook his head as he felt the pervasive Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth.
The advancement of a Spirit Protectorate to a Major Domain was not something that could be done by simple people. It was a chance to advance over time.
However …
It was not that there was no chance.
If a large number of Spirit Stones were buried in the Liang Mountain Spirit Protectorate, the impact of the Spirit Qi might be able to promote the Spirit Protectorate to a Major Domain.
However, the number of Spirit Stones needed to achieve this would not be as simple as a few hundred or a few thousand.
Qin Shujian sighed and said helplessly, "If you want the Spirit Protectorate to advance to a Major Domain, you will need to bury hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones. This would require too many Spirit Stones."
A hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
Even the Great Zhao Nation's treasury might not have a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
The reserves of a prefecture's marquis were only a few hundred Spirit Stones.
This time, the advancement of a region had caused quite a commotion.
In a region, a group of True Martial Realm cultivators greedily inhaled and exhaled the dense Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth.
In this region …
It had originally been an Ordinary Region. However, after the Liang Mountain Spirit Protectorate had advanced, it had quickly advanced to the True Domain level.
Now, it had advanced to a Spirit Protectorate less than two years after entering the True Domain.
Such a leap …
This had caused the Spirit Qi of this region to become extremely dense. This had also allowed the cultivators here to obtain great benefits.
However, at the same time, the shortcomings were also very obvious.
Originally, the strongest person in the Ordinary Region had been at the limit of the Basic Martial Realm. After the True Domain had advanced, although some people had broken through to the True Martial Realm, they had only lingered around the early-stage True Martial Realm.
Now, the True Domain had not yet stabilized, yet it had been extended to the Spirit Protectorate.
Such a change …
This had caused a serious lack of top-notch combat strength in this region.
In a Spirit Protectorate, the strongest person was only at the early-stage True Martial Realm. In the eyes of other cultivators, this was simply a delicious cake.
The competition for a region and the killing of sects.
This was something that happened all the time no matter where it was.
Qin Shujian had no intention of paying attention to this.
Natural selection.
There was nothing worth talking about.
However, the attention of the Liang Mountain Spirit Protectorate was currently focused on the Origin Sect's mystic area. Therefore, not many people paid attention to the advancement of that region.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day …
Many people came to Liang Mountain and entered the Origin Sect.
In order to facilitate the opening of his mystic area, Qin Shujian had specially cleared out a spacious area for his own refinement. This was also for the sake of the people who had come to observe.
Apart from the Origin Sect disciples …
The people from the Celestial Array Sect were the first to arrive.
"Elder Fang, you came just in time!" Xiang Haogan looked at Fang Xinglan and greeted him with a smile.
As for Fang Xinglan, he also knew him.
Although Xiang Haogan was originally an itinerant cultivator, he was still a great cultivator of the Divine Martial Realm. Furthermore, he had done a lot of research on array formations and had visited the Celestial Array Sect before.
Upon hearing this, Fang Xinglan returned the greeting and said with a faint smile, "Long time no see. Elder Xiang's elegance is even greater than before."
The current him had no intention of looking down on the other party.
The current Xiang Haogan was no longer an itinerant cultivator. He was the Hall Master of the Origin Sect's Array Formation Hall and also an Inner Sect Elder.
He was a seventh-grade official in front of the Grand Chancellor.
The Elders of the Origin Sect naturally had a higher status in front of others.
"Haha, Elder Fang, you're too kind!" Xiang Haogan laughed. Then, he looked at Mu Liang and asked uncertainly, "Is this Sect Master Mu?"
"Greetings, Elder Xiang!"
Mu Liang smiled and cupped his hands.
Xiang Haogan was stunned. Then, he replied with a smile, "So it's really Sect Master Mu. I'm almost blind!"
Although he said that, his heart was filled with surprise.
Mu Liang!
Xiang Haogan also did not expect that the Sect Master of the Celestial Array Sect would personally come to the Origin Sect to observe the opening of the Space Secret Realm.
However, although he was surprised, he did not show it on the surface.
Subsequently.
The other people who had exchanged for the slots also arrived one after another.
The Origin Sect did not make any special arrangements for this, nor did they set up any seats or anything.
After all, the main purpose of these people coming here was to observe the opening of the Space Secret Realm.
Everything else was not important.
Following Ming Jingshan's arrival, it also caused quite a commotion.
Just like Fang Xinglan.
Although Ming Jingshan was a member of the imperial court, he also had quite a reputation in the cultivation world.
Although they were both Array Masters, to be honest, he was more famous than Fang Xinglan.
Naturally, this was due to the imperial court's help.
"Master Fang!"
"Master Ming!"
When Ming Jingshan saw Fang Xinglan, he was also a little surprised.
However.
The two of them did not say much. After a simple meeting, they stopped talking.
As for the disciples of the Origin Sect.
When they saw so many people coming, they were also surprised.
No one would have thought that there would be so many powerhouses appearing.
In the crowd.
Liu Dazhong clicked his tongue in wonder. "Opening a Space Secret Realm attracted so many people. If they were to charge money, how much would they earn!"
"They would definitely earn a lot."
When the players at the side heard this, they sneered.
They also had a deep understanding of their own Sect Master.
He was a typical money-grubber.
Even the disciples of his own sect had to pay ten thousand contribution points to observe. These outsiders would probably lose a layer of skin.
As for not taking a single cent.
No one would believe this if they said it out loud.
Hearing this.
Liu Dazhong sighed and said, "When I have such attractiveness, I won't have to worry about not being able to earn money."
To be honest, he was really jealous.
Look at what kind of people were coming.
Top sects, large sects, each of them were rich masters.
If he were to make a fortune from these people, he would definitely make a lot of money.
However.
Liu Dazhong was just thinking about it in his heart and did not take any practical action.
At this moment, with everyone's arrival.
In the middle of the originally empty field, the space was slightly distorted, and a person had appeared out of nowhere.
This scene.
It made the pupils of several experts at the peak of the Divine Martial Arts involuntarily shrink.
The other party did not appear out of nowhere.
Instead, his speed was so fast that it was impossible to see with the naked eye, which caused such an effect.
Even with their eyesight, they could only see a few clues, but not too much.
"The Diviner Realm is so terrifying!"
In the minds of these people, this thought appeared at the same time.
Just a little and you would be able to see everything.
Even if the peak of the Divine Martial Arts was only one step away from the Diviner Realm, the gap was still unimaginably big.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
"Greetings, Sect Master Qin!"
When Qin Shujian appeared, everyone either bowed or cupped their hands to salute him.
To this.
Qin Shujian only nodded slightly, and then focused his attention on the empty space in front of him.
In these few days.
He had been conserving his energy, and now his essence, qi, and spirit had reached a peak state.
Buzz —
A mysterious and vast wave rose from Qin Shujian, causing the space to tremble and buzz.
Then.
A terrifying divine sense came out of his body, turned into an axe, and chopped at the space in front of him.
Boom!
The axe fell, and the space distorted violently.
The loud noise was like the sound of the heavens, causing everyone's minds to sway.
One axe!
Two axes!
Every time the axe was chopped, there was a mysterious trajectory.
The space in front of him was like a curtain, twisting and rippling, and the waves spread out in all directions with this as the center.
"Come!"
Qin Shujian clenched his hand in the void, and the giant axe formed by his divine sense suddenly condensed into a substance, and finally fell into his hand.
The next moment.
The giant axe chopped out, and a myriad of Daoist Rhymes spread out.
Rip!
The space suddenly shattered, and a pitch-black crack appeared under the giant axe.
Then, Qin Shujian chopped out eight more times with the axe, and the crack in the space was enlarged to a certain extent.
Then.
The giant axe dissipated, and the vast divine sense turned into many array patterns, and directly sank into the crack in the space.
When the array patterns appeared.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on it, and they didn't dare to relax for a moment.
It was supposed to be an ordinary array pattern.
However, in the eyes of these people, it was as if it had come alive. Every stroke was natural, and there was a terrifying Daoist Rhyme circulating inside.
All of a sudden.
Someone screamed, and then closed his eyes. Two lines of blood flowed down from his eyelids.
Xiang Haogan suddenly shouted, "Those who can't look, don't force yourself."
Hearing that.
Immediately, a few disciples sat down cross-legged, not daring to look at the array patterns.
However, more people stared at it without blinking, constantly trying to figure out the charm.
"The second level of the Master Realm!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fang Xinglan's heart was also shocked.
Those array patterns were no longer as simple as array patterns, but had turned into a myriad of laws of heaven and earth, intertwining within.
Inside every law.
There were also endless Daoist Rhymes.
These Daoist Rhymes were of great benefit to those with sufficient cultivation, but to those with insufficient cultivation, it was a terrifying killing intent.
Rumble!
The void trembled.
As the array patterns fell, the space that was supposed to heal was forcefully stabilized.
Opening up a spatial secret realm.
There was also a method to turn a mustard seed into a mountain.
Now, Qin Shujian used a spatial crack as a node to directly open up a vast secret realm.
Many array patterns fell, and an array formation was suddenly formed.
Then.
In the pitch-black spatial crack, there seemed to be earth, water, fire, and wind emerging, and there seemed to be the division of heaven and earth.
At this moment.
Qin Shujian took out a lot of materials that he had prepared long ago from his storage ring. Flames ignited in the void, and a vast amount of spiritual energy surged over, turning into nourishment.
When the flame appeared, Li Yunmu's eyes lit up.
The surrounding temperature instantly rose.
The ninth level materials that were supposed to be indestructible melted under the burning of the flames at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And the moment the materials melted.
An invisible hammer formed by Divine Will smashed fiercely towards the liquid.
Bang!
The heavy voice caused everyone's hearts to tremble.
Some of the disciples who had been bitterly holding on spat out a mouthful of blood when the hammer fell, ending their observation.
Until now.
None of the people from the other sects who came to watch had left. On the contrary, more than half of the disciples from Yuan Sect had already sat down cross-legged to heal their injuries and digest what they had gained this time.
Xiang Haogan was not surprised by this.
After all, the realm of Yuan Sect disciples was too low. Not everyone could watch a Heavenly Being perform a Dao.
As for the people from the other sects, they were all experts now. Naturally, they would not be unable to hold on so quickly.
Or else.
The price would be paid for nothing.
Bang! Bang!
Every time the hammer fell, Fang Xinglan felt that his Spiritual Spirit had been tempered. It seemed to have become clearer, but he also felt very uncomfortable.
"The hammer sounds directly hit the Spiritual Spirit. What kind of method is this!"
The eyes of the Great Elder of the Heavenly Array Sect were already filled with shock.
In his line of sight.
As Qin Shujian's hammer fell, the melted liquid gradually merged into the space.
That's right.
The space that was supposed to be empty had become different now.
"What is he doing!" Fang Xinglan was shocked. With his current vision, he could not see what Qin Shujian's purpose was.
On the other side.
At this moment, Shen Yuqing was also focused on Qin Shujian's actions.
When Yuan Sect was promoted to a seventh-grade force, he was also forcefully promoted to the peak of the Spiritual Martial Realm.
The Spiritual Spirit that had skyrocketed was incomparably illusory.
But now, when the hammer sounds appeared, the illusory Spiritual Spirit was greatly shaken. Some impurities were expelled bit by bit, causing the realm to become more stable.
In such a situation.
To Shen Yuqing, this was naturally a good thing.
However, compared to the changes in the Spiritual Spirit, he paid more attention to the Dao Rhymes that erupted from Qin Shujian's hammer every time it fell.
After breaking through to a superior-grade blacksmith.
Shen Yuqing had been stabilizing and settling in this realm.
Now, when the hammer fell, he found that his realm was gradually stabilizing. Some of the things that he could not figure out before were also suddenly enlightened.
Bang!
Another hammer fell.
The Spiritual Spirit shook violently. Shen Yuqing's face immediately turned pale.
"I've reached my limit!"
He was a little unwilling. Until now, he had only opened about half of the space secret realm.
But he knew his own situation.
The reason why he could hold on for so long was because he was at the peak of the Spiritual Spirit.
Or else …
Earlier on, they had already retreated in defeat.
If he forced himself to hold on now, he would only end up seriously injured.
Therefore, at this time, Shen Yuqing had no choice but to close his eyes and sit cross-legged on the ground to cultivate. He no longer watched the hammering scene.
And as his eyes closed.
The hammer sound that had been bombarding the Spirit God had also suddenly disappeared.
It could be seen and heard!
Shen Yuqing was shocked in his heart.
This kind of method was already beyond his understanding.
In the open space.
At this time, Qin Shujian was concentrating. His Divine Sense was pushed to the extreme. It turned into a hammer that constantly hammered the materials, causing them to merge with the space crack.
If he wanted to open a stable space secret realm, he must have a carrier.
With his current strength.
It was not realistic to want to directly extract a space and place it into a carrier.
Therefore, Qin Shujian did the opposite.
He used the materials to merge into the space and forcibly turned the space into his own without stripping it off.
Every time the hammer fell.
For him, it consumed a lot of energy.
Fortunately, after reaching the Heavenly Realm, the Spiritual Spirit and the physical body merged. The stronger the physical body, the stronger the Spiritual Spirit.
After opening the 376 stellar acupoints, Ye Zichen finally opened up the Star acupoints.
Qin Shujian's Spiritual Spirit grew stronger on the original foundation.
Therefore.
Although his Divine Sense was severely exhausted, it was not a big problem with his huge Spiritual Spirit as the foundation.
How many hammers fell in total?
Qin Shujian himself did not remember.
Only when all the liquid merged into the space did he stop.
Then, he struck out the runes. His Divine Sense enveloped all the melted materials and constantly gathered them into shape. After that, he hammered again.
The Golden Crow fell.
The Moon Rabbit rose.
In the blink of an eye, a day and night had passed.
The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the sky had reached a very terrifying level. Half of the Spiritual Qi in the entire Liang Mountain Spiritual Domain was drawn over by Qin Shujian.
At this time.
There were not many people who were still holding on.
One was Fang Xinglan, one was Mu Liang, one was Ming Jingshan, and two other experts at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm.
Apart from them, the others closed their eyes and stopped watching.
Even Xiang Haogan, a great cultivator at the Divine Martial Realm, could not bear it anymore.
Although he was at the Divine Martial Realm.
However, in the end, he had not reached the peak of the Divine Martial Realm. His strength was far inferior to Fang Xinglan and the others.
However.
Xiang Haogan was satisfied with the harvest this time.
Although he regretted not being able to see the end, it was in line with his expectations.
Boom!!
Another hammer fell, and the sound of heaven and earth rang.
Mu Liang's body shook, and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. However, his eyes were still open, and he did not dare to relax for a moment.
Another hammer fell.
A terrifying Daoist Rhyme appeared.
He finally closed his eyes unwillingly, and two streaks of blood flowed down from his eyelids.
Even if he was at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm, there was still a limit.
A vast wave of energy spread out.
The space that was originally cracked had now stabilized.
The melted liquid materials merged with the space, turning into a substantial door that stood on the ground.
On the light green door, there was a Daoist Rhyme circulating.
Then.
Qin Shujian took a step inside and disappeared without a trace.
It was also at this moment.
The power that was originally overflowing dissipated completely.
Fang Xinglan looked at the place where Qin Shujian left and sighed in his heart.
He knew.
This time, the opening of the Space Secret Realm had come to an end.
The remaining matters.
It was not something he could observe.
However, even so, Fang Xinglan still gained a lot.
It was just that he still needed time to digest these gains.
On the other side.
As Qin Shujian stepped in, everything around him suddenly changed.
A deathly silent space had already appeared in his line of sight.
The spirit energy in this space was extremely thin, to the extent that it was almost negligible.
Apart from that.
There was nothing else in the space in front of him except that it was relatively vast.
"There's one last step left."
Qin Shujian looked at the space in front of him and stepped into the air. His vast Divine Thought spread out, and endless formation patterns were born from nothing. They were like the rules of heaven and earth, interweaving in the entire space.
