On the gilded long spear, there was the same aura permeating throughout the Daqian Immortal Court.
The aura of luck of Daqian Country.
This female cultivator, without any form of manipulation, is a cultivator from Daqian.
She might be a descendant of the Daqian Emperor or Duke, or she could be a granddaughter of some noble or a family member of a Ministry Head or a helper.
On the way to Daqian Immortal City, Master Tian Xin had introduced Han Yi to the situation in Daqian. Coupled with the information that Han Yi had gathered from the Scripture Collection Pavilion, he was not unfamiliar with the obvious monarch spirit transformation in the structure of Daqian.
The strongest in Daqian, without a doubt, is the Daqian Emperor.
Below the Emperor, there are three Great Dukes: the National Guardian Duke, Duke An, and Duke Dingguo. All of these Great Dukes are Spirit Transformation Experts.
Below the Dukes, there are three auxiliary supervisors, six Ministry Heads, and seven nobles.
These sixteen, are all Nascent Soul Monarchs.
Of course, this does not mean that the Daqian Immortal Country only has sixteen Monarchs. According to the Monarch List ranking of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, there are thirty-four Monarchs who are overtly affiliated with Daqian. And that is not even counting the ones hidden from view.
This is the absolute ruler of the southwestern region of Yu Heng World.
As myriad conjectures flashed across Han Yi’s mind, he showed no change in his expression. Instead, he stored the Spiritual Jade into his storage bag, turned around to glance at the newcomer, and then, without paying any more attention, took flight.
Amongst the foundation building early stage cultivators, he believed himself to be second to none.
Out there, he would accept being hunted down, being forcefully abducted. After all, the ones he was up against were either middle level or peak stage Foundation Building cultivators, or even Nascent Soul Monarchs. He was okay with being a little timid in order to stay alive.
But here, where the realm is limited to the foundation establishment stage, he had nothing to fear. As long as he did not provoke anyone, peace would reign. However, if anyone sought death, he would oblige.
Of course.
Seeing that the other party was an official cultivator from Daqian, Han Yi decided to ignore her to avoid causing further issues. After all, if she turned out to be a descendant of the Daqian Emperor, killing her would be equal to seeking death.
Those who thought that entering the Cave Heaven equated to everyone being equal were wrong. There is bias whenever humans are involved.
However.
Han Yi’s disregard made the other party think that he was afraid.
A trace of anger flashed across the cold face of the female cultivator, and her long spear fiercely lunged forward.
Boom!
As the spear swept through the place where Han Yi stood, it pierced only an afterimage. The spear then violently cut down a dozen huge trees and hammered into the ground.
All of a sudden.
A streak of black and green Sword Qi silently whizzed past from amidst the heavy dust.
Swish!
The Sword Qi grazed past the edge of the female cultivator’s forehead, cutting off a strand of her hair. Then, it turned around and returned, falling back into the sheath of the retreating figure.
In just a blink of an eye, the silhouette shook faintly, and then disappeared without a trace. Even her aura was hard to capture.
“Pursue, die!”
A voice filled with coldness and endless killing intent came from the retreating figure.
The purple-robed female cultivator’s face stiffened. A trace of horror appeared in her contracted pupils.
This glaring Sword Light had just scraped past her scalp – a clear warning.
The opponent was so strong, unnaturally so. Even though they were both at the early foundation stage, he was still able to hold back effortlessly. The disparity in strength shocked her.
This first warning was a sword strike. If she pursued, he might genuinely go for the kill.
She took a deep breath and gently waved her hand, recalling the long spear and gripping it firmly. In her beautiful eyes, the figure of the cultivator from earlier flashed past.
“He is too unfamiliar. I know all the cultivators from the Immortal Country, and he is not one of them. Most likely, he is a disciple secretly raised by one of the three Great Sects or the Holy Land.”
“So…strong.”
Regaining her composure, she continued forward with her spear. However, this time, her attitude had changed.
Elsewhere.
After diving deep into the woods, Han Yi leaped up and stood in mid-air, thirty meters above the ground. His eyes emitted a light golden glow as he scanned the surroundings.
The Qi Observation Skill is not only used to ‘see’ people, but can also be used to ‘seek’ objects. Any items with spiritual properties could not escape the Qi Observation Skill.
This magic skill, although initially of low grade, was deftly applicable. Under the influence of the Proficiency Panel, its ability was similar to other techniques – reborn and virtually unrecognizable from its original magic principle.
Buzz!
Under the Qi Observation Skill, everything he saw were composed of numerous differently colored lines.
Common grass and trees were just casually drawn lines, while some top-notch spiritual grass had more intricate lines. As the view expanded, a cultivators’ past presence was represented as different color light groups. The colors varied from red, bloody, golden, to silver.
He speculated that these colors were related to the cultivators’ attributes, cultivation methods, and even their individual personalities.
Suddenly.
A cluster of dazzling light dots entered his vision. These dots were entirely purple, resembling purple stars.
Spiritual Jade.
Overjoyed, Han Yi’s eyes returned to their normal state as he darted rapidly toward the location of the purple light seen under his Qi Observation Skill.
In less than ten breaths, his view cleared and he found himself inside a valley.
On one side of the valley wall, there were specks of purple light. About a hundred meters away, a piece of Spiritual Jade was embedded into the wall, emitting a faint purple halo that created a captivating illusion.
“There are so many.”
As soon as Han Yi landed, he couldn’t help but exclaim softly. He took off on his sword, removing a piece of Spiritual Jade from the wall. Although this piece was smaller than the one he had before, there were at least dozens of them within his sight. Combined, they were more than tenfold the spoils of his previous acquisition..
