The characteristics of this dagger can be described in two words: ‘sharp’ and ‘spirit-breaking’. Its unimaginable sharpness is not only reflected in cutting physical objects but also in the destruction of spiritual power – that is, ‘spiritbreaking’.
Whether it’s formations, defensive shields activated by spiritual talismans, offensive attribute magic skills, or even low-level storage bags, all can be broken by it.
Holding the dagger, Han Yi recalled that before he reached the ninth level of Qi cultivation, he was good at killing enemies with daggers.
However, as his strength broke through and the enemies he faced became stronger, assassination was no longer his primary tactic.
But if he had a dagger at the artifact level like the Demonic Dagger, it would still be very effective.
“Once I advance to the Golden Core stage, I will find a way to get a set of daggers at the artifact level,” Han Yi had a new idea.
Storing the Demonic Dagger, he looked at his Proficiency Panel, where his focus fell on three skills.
[Spirit Void Finger (Peak Mastery 78/100)]
[Ninefold Soul Tower (Peak Mastery 96/100)]
[Departing Fire Sword Formula (Peak Mastery 69/100)]
These three skills are what he will continue to improve next.
Before this, his Sword Control Skill, Light Body Technique, Wind Wall Skill, and Fire Shield Skill had already broken through to Return to the Truth. The Fire Shield Skill and Wind Wall Skill had even initially merged into the Wind and Fire Shield, with their defensive capabilities far exceeding the simple sum of the two skills.
He now had his main combat magic skill, body movement technique, and defense.
Next, the Ninefold Soul Tower also needed improvement. This inherited skill had already condensed two layers and wasn’t far from reaching Return to the Truth. The Departing Fire Sword Formula and Spirit Void Finger, as supplementary skills for the Sword Control Skill, especially the Departing Fire Sword Formula, were at the core of Han Yi’s plans.
Ninefold Soul Tower, Departing Fire Sword Formula, Spirit Void Finger – this was Han Yi’s cultivation sequence.
In the quiet room, his consciousness sank into the Sea of Consciousness Space, and Han Yi’s divine soul, following past habits, first checked the black bead at the top of the Sea of Consciousness. Finding no abnormalities and unable to do anything about it, he focused his attention on his divine soul.
The divine soul transformed from the Soul Tower into Han Yi’s appearance, which was the normal state of the divine soul. Above the divine soul, a virtual soul tower about a foot high appeared, and the two lowest layers of the soul tower had already solidified.
Two soul skills appeared in Han Yi’s mind when he condensed these two layers.
First Layer, Soul Skill-Divine Soul Decay.
Second Layer, Soul Skill-Soul Snatching.
Han Yi had used the first soul skill many times on the battlefield, while the second soul skill had not been used yet. Mainly because this Soul Snatching skill is a seizing soul skill, and unless it is absolutely necessary, he would not use it.
Han Yi sat down, began to induce the gray-white Qi at the edge of the Sea of Consciousness Space, and gradually let it fall from the top of his head into his divine soul as if being showered with sweet dew.
As Han Yi attracted the gray-white Qi, the black bead at the top of the Sea of Consciousness gently shook, as if something was about to happen, but there were no other anomalies.
This weak vibration would happen every time Han Yi practiced the Ninefold Soul Tower. At first, Han Yi would stop to carefully observe and check, but after multiple times, he had become accustomed to it.
More than half a month after Han Yi returned to the Xuandan Peak’s Profound Immortal Pavilion in Nanliang Fang, a continuous palace was located in a mountain range in the southwest of Shuzhou, far away from Qian Du.
This mountain range was called Southern Dipper Mountain Range, and this sect was one of the Three Great Sects of Daqian – the Southern Dipper Divine Palace.
The Three Great Sects of Daqian were called so because they were not ordinary Nascent Soul sects. They had once produced Spirit Transformation Experts and had a much stronger foundation than ordinary Nascent Soul sects. They could even contend with general Spirit Transformation Experts using their sect’s foundation.
A Sky Immortal Boat entered the sect from the mountains and landed in a certain palace.
With a cold face, Jiang Jiuge put away the Immortal Boat, arranged the other cultivators, and then walked into the palace.
“Disciple Blood River pays respect to Master.”
Jiang Jiuge bowed and, in front of him, in the highest part of the palace, a Daoist sat on a cushion, his Immortal Qi drifting and surrounding him.
The Daoist opened his eyes and looked at Blood River, his deep eyes showing a hint of confusion.
“You’re injured.”
“None of the Golden Core cultivators from the Xuandan Sect can hurt you. If Yuan Shun had made a move, you wouldn’t have even been able to escape.” “Tell me, what happened?”
Jiang Jiuge raised his head and recounted the events that had transpired in Daqian Immortal Country.
“Master Jade Heart of White Jade Tower is indeed not weak. From this battle alone, it seems that her strength is comparable to yours.”
“Making it onto the Master List means there is a 30% chance of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.”
“Since we can’t kill her, there’s no need to bother. The master of White Jade Tower is not to be trifled with. If we really killed Master Jade Heart, it would only lead to trouble. Things are better this way.”
“As for the cultivator from Xuandan Sect.”
“He was able to escape from Yu Hao with his Foundation Building cultivation base and even retaliated by killing two people.”
“Although Yu Hao has just entered the Golden Core stage and exhausted his potential, his fighting skills are not weak.”
“HanYi?”
“I have heard this name more than once.”
“More than once?” Now, it was Master Blood River’s turn to be surprised.
The man in front of him was one of the Nine True Monarchs of Southern Dipper Divine Palace, Liu Su Monarch. It was extraordinary for someone to repeatedly enter Liu Su Monarch’s ears. He didn’t expect that Han Yi could do it more than once.
“The most recent was at the Emperor’s birthday celebration, where he received the Emperor’s reward, a testament to his remarkable potential.”
“The previous time was at the Mountain and Sea Gathering of Immortals, where he, as a Qi Cultivating Cultivator, killed a demon cultivator and ranked fourth in the Qi Cultivating Section of the Demon Slayer List. Although the ranking is not impressive, it is not easy for a cultivator from a weaker sect to make it onto the list.”
“However, after hearing what you said, this little fellow is no longer as simple as Qian Long.”
“Shu State doesn’t need a second Wanfa Sect.”
“If we can’t deal with Yuan Shun, dealing with this little fellow shouldn’t be difficult.”
“As long as we can afford the price, the Black Divine Tower dares to assassinate even Lord Spirit Transformation. A mere late-stage Foundation Building cultivator is not a concern, there’s no need for us to act personally.”
Liu Su Monarch’s words made Jiang Jiuge suddenly realize the situation.
“That’s right, the Black Divine Tower is the largest robbery organization in the Yu Heng World, with assassins and killers for hire. As long as they’re paid enough, no matter where Han Yi is, he’ll have nowhere to run.”
“I will go arrange it.”
Liu Su Monarch pressed his hand and signaled, “Don’t be in a hurry, this is just a minor matter.”
“Blood River, I have warned you before that unless you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, do not expose yourself in front of Xuandan Sect, and don’t get involved in any of their affairs, as it could be a trap for you.”
“Only when you have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and become a Supreme Elder of the Southern Dipper Divine Palace will the sect naturally support you in destroying Xuandan Sect and restoring Blood God Sect with you as the sect master.”
“This has been decided collectively by the Supreme Elders.”
“So, be prudent and don’t act rashly.”
“Yuan Shun has a great secret, and there is an even greater secret hidden at Xuandan Peak. Don’t act on your own and recklessly explore.”
Jiang Jiuge suddenly furrowed his brows and tentatively asked, “Master, what exactly is the secret on Xuandan Peak?”
“As long as we are determined, the sect can directly send three True Monarchs to Xuandan Sect. I don’t believe that the mist can remain unscathed.”
Liu Su Monarch’s eyes flashed with a hint of fear, which was well hidden and not detected by Master Blood River.
“Unscathed?”
“Then you are wrong.”
“Forget it, you can’t understand these things at this stage. Go down.”
Liu Su Monarch waved his hand, and seeing that his master was preoccupied, Jiang Jiuge didn’t dare to bother him any further and withdrew.
After Jiang Jiuge left, Liu Su Monarch’s gaze turned to the north, as if it traversed millions of miles and reached Xuandan Peak, trying to see through the mysterious fog that had enveloped the peak for eighty years, murmuring to himself.
“It’s been eighty years, and that scene still terrifies me.”
“Otherwise, why would we need the Blood God Sect, the Heavenly Soul Sect, and such complicated probes?”
Liu Su Monarch envisioned a certain scene in his mind, a flash of horror in his eyes, which he then quickly dispelled, not allowing it to grow into a demonic thought.
