Chapter 0471: Life Trace Transforms into Silk

Qin Yun was uncertain about the longevity of these three pools, but he thought it would be great if he could break through to the sixth realm using the pools here.

Xiao Yuelan was also very happy to be able to cultivate in unison with Qin Yun. With their palms pressed together, Qin Yun could sense her emotions.

"Yuelan, does Cai Xiangjing protect you so much because they know about your talent?" Qin Yun asked in a low voice.

"If they return to the Spiritual Wasteland, they will take me with them..." Xiao Yuelan sighed softly, "I'm still considering whether to go or not. I can't bear to leave you!"

Qin Yun smiled, "What's there to think about? Such an opportunity is rare, of course, you should go!"

Xiao Yuelan's lovely face was clouded with sadness, her head slightly lowered, and she remained silent.

The two of them were soaking in the water, their palms pressed together, in a very quiet atmosphere, where the gentle sound of flowing water could be heard.

"Yuelan, why don't you call me 'little husband'?" Qin Yun broke the silence, asking with a smile.

"We... we haven't become real husband and wife yet! I can't just call you that casually..." Xiao Yuelan blushed and snorted lightly, "Stop asking, focus on your cultivation!"

Qin Yun promptly immersed himself in serious cultivation, closing his eyes.

While cultivating in unison with Qin Yun, Xiao Yuelan could also feel him practicing the Nine Extremes Heart Sutra and cultivating the Nine Extremes Inner Energy.

This powerful Nine Extremes Inner Energy was also mirrored by Xiao Yuelan through her enigmatic martial soul.

The mysteries of the Martial Ancient City were quite astonishing. Especially these three pools, which were sacred grounds for martial cultivation.

Qin Yun and Xiao Yuelan would occasionally switch pools to cultivate, ensuring a balanced cultivation in all aspects.

To use the powerful Primordial Dao Force, one needed to condense the fifth Life Trace.

Condensing Primordial Dao Force required consuming a lot of inner energy. Now that they were cultivating in unison in the pool, they could continuously restore their inner energy and continuously release Primordial Dao Force to refine the fifth Life Trace.

Although they had three Dao Pills, their martial souls were all black. Additionally, the Primordial Dao Force formed by the fusion of the three Dao Pills allowed them to condense Life Traces even faster.

Especially now, with Qin Yun and Xiao Yuelan cultivating in unison, the Primordial Dao Force formed by the fusion of six Dao Pills was extremely powerful, pure, and vigorous, nourishing the Dao Pills within their bodies.

Not long after, Qin Yun suddenly opened his eyes, overjoyed, as the fifth Life Trace on his Dao Pill was slowly manifesting. If this continued, he would soon be able to break through!

"Yuelan, we're breaking through so quickly, won't there be any problems?" Qin Yun suddenly felt a bit worried.

"Don't worry, this is the result of our joint cultivation! Besides, the energy in these three pools is very abundant, and we can absorb most of the energy from the pool. This is normal!" Xiao Yuelan smiled, "Just focus on your cultivation!"

Through the Nine Sun Divine Essence, Qin Yun could indeed absorb the energy of the nine suns, just like taking pills.

"I want to become stronger and rightly punish the Totem Pavilion, that evil sect!" Although Qin Yun had destroyed most of the martial artists of the Totem Pavilion, the Totem Pavilion still remained standing in Wuhuang and the Demon Wasteland.

With his Sky Lion Totem, he would only be at ease once he had eradicated the Totem Pavilion.

...

After entering the Martial Ancient City, Gao Shilong, wielding a black trident, searched for Qin Yun's whereabouts.

The Martial Ancient City was quite large, with many mountains and forests, making it quite challenging to find a single person within.

Many people were also searching for Qin Yun here. They initially believed that avoiding Qin Yun would prevent any battles.

But now, upon encountering Gao Shilong, they were mercilessly attacked by him!

"Gao Shilong, what are you doing? Does your Totem Pavilion intend to make enemies of our Bloodline clans?" a Bloodline warrior angrily demanded.

"It’s an honor to kill you! Because I believe you have the strength to defeat Qin Yun, that's why I must eliminate you!"

Gao Shilong's trident lashed out violently, and the Bloodline warrior couldn't withstand more than a few strikes before his body was pierced with several bloody holes.

A squad of Bloodline warriors, all at the eighth or ninth level of the Martial King realm, couldn’t even handle Gao Shilong, who was only at the seventh level!

Soon, Gao Shilong had slaughtered the entire squad of Bloodline warriors and then left, laughing wildly.

Not only were Bloodline warriors being killed, but any squad that appeared to have considerable power would also be attacked by Gao Shilong!

This caused many squads to complain bitterly, and they could only hide far away when encountering Gao Shilong. Many people crowded at the city gates, pleading with the Martial King outside.

"Totem Pavilion, since your Gao Shilong is so brutal, then don't blame us for retaliating!" a Bloodline Martial King uttered, his voice trembling, his tone filled with anger.

At this moment, seven youthful-looking Bloodline warriors also entered the city.

An elder from the Totem Pavilion mocked, "You're willing to send out natural-born Bloodline warriors? They’d better not encounter Shilong!"

"Shilong wouldn't attack others unprovoked; it's mostly because you provoked him! Aren't you just jealous of his talent?"

The elders of the Bloodline clans were furious with the Totem Pavilion.

People from the Qiweng Hall and Linghuang were also deeply resentful towards the Totem Pavilion.

This was the time for unity, but conflicts had arisen among them.

"The Grand Hall Master of our Qiweng Hall in Wuhuang will come as soon as he emerges from seclusion!" an elder's words caused the people of the Totem Pavilion to change their expressions.

The Grand Hall Master of the Qiweng Hall was definitely not just at the Martial King realm; he was likely a figure who transcended the Martial King realm!

The Bloodline warriors in the city also gathered together, assembling a large force to enter the mountains and forests, searching for Qin Yun's whereabouts.

Their opponents now were not only Qin Yun but also Gao Shilong from the Totem Pavilion! They also acknowledged that Gao Shilong was formidable. Although he was only at the seventh level of the Martial King realm, he possessed fearsome strength!

...

After Qin Yun and Xiao Yuelan cultivated together for two days, the Dao Pills in their bodies suddenly resonated, and they successfully condensed the fifth Life Trace on the three Dao Pills!

In the past, there would always be significant disturbances during breakthroughs. This time, because they were cultivating together and due to Qin Yun's Nether Sun Martial Spirit, they could suppress the energy burst during the breakthrough and break through in silence!

"At the fifth level of the Martial realm, the Great Dao Life Trace can transform into threads, granting powerful abilities!" Xiao Yuelan gently waved her hand, releasing five black threads.

Looking closely, one could see many patterns on the threads, which were the unique patterns that formed the Great Dao Life Trace!

"Is this mental energy?" Qin Yun asked.

"It's the fusion of my Life Trace and Dragon Trace!" Xiao Yuelan chuckled.

The most obvious effect of condensing the fifth Life Trace was the increase in Dao Force and the inner energy of the Dao Pills!

The main function of the Life Trace transforming into threads was to wrap around one's body, forming a cocoon, allowing the Dao body to undergo metamorphosis!

During the metamorphosis of the Dao body, the Dao Pills and Martial Spirit would be strengthened, and then the sixth Life Trace would be condensed!

Qin Yun suddenly sensed some movement outside!

"It seems to be someone there; this aura seems to be a Bloodline warrior," Qin Yun whispered.

"And there are a lot of them!" Xiao Yuelan's brow furrowed slightly, then she clutched Qin Yun's hand tightly.

Xiao Yuelan said, "It's night now. Let's head out and check it out!"

Qin Yun thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, maybe we can get Elder Xie's Lifebound Sword back!"

Qin Yun took out some binding talismans and handed them to Xiao Yuelan.

He was running low on binding talismans. Although he'd made a good number with Zi Qingcheng's assistance, he'd used up a lot in the past few days.

He led Xiao Yuelan, using the Piercing Mystic Art to breach the cave's barrier and emerge outside.

The night sky was heavy with clouds, blotting out the stars and moon, deepening the darkness.

On the mountainside, spots of light flickered into view.

Qin Yun knew at a glance that they were warriors carrying glowing stones, searching for him.

"Let's split them up, then strike from the shadows!" Xiao Yuelan transmitted her voice to Qin Yun.

She'd endured harsh training in the past and was well-versed in assassination.

Qin Yun called forth the Netherworld Celestial Lion, charging towards the group of warriors!

The group erupted in panicked screams, scattering in all directions!

Qin Yun also noticed that after forming the fifth life trace, the Netherworld Celestial Lion he summoned had grown more powerful!

This Netherworld Celestial Lion even mastered the Sky Lion's totem martial arts! As soon as it approached, it let loose the Heavenly Lion Roaring Sky Sound, wracking the fifth and sixth realm warriors with internal agony.

Then it lashed out with the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Claw, savagely tearing into them!

"Watch yourself, Yuelan!" Qin Yun warned.

"Mm!" Xiao Yuelan mimicked Qin Yun's shadow power and could also hide in the darkness.

She and Qin Yun charged towards the group from two different directions.

After Qin Yun approached, he sensed a warrior who had dealt with Xie Wufeng and quickly threw a binding talisman, immobilizing the warrior.

Then he flew over, injured the person, and threw them into the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron.

"The Netherworld Celestial Lion, Qin Yun is nearby..." an elderly warrior shouted in alarm.

At that moment, several binding talismans were thrown into the crowd, immobilizing more than ten warriors!

The Netherworld Celestial Lion, Qin Yun, and Xiao Yuelan also charged into the crowd, attacking fiercely!

Both Qin Yun and Xiao Yuelan used the Six Forms of Wind Slash, released through the Nine Extremes Inner Energy.

The slashing blade momentum was extremely domineering, causing the entire mountain to tremble.

The originally calm and heavy night sky was shaken by black, dancing lightning!

The lightning was hidden in the darkness, invisible, but its power was terrifying! The black thunderbolts struck, creating waves of electric energy that surged towards the warriors.

Warriors of the ninth martial realm, if immobilized by the talismans for even two moments, were doomed to die!

Twenty to thirty warriors, in terms of martial realm, were a formidable force. Yet, facing two people and a beast, they were utterly defeated!

Even the seven innate Bloodline Martial Kings, after being immobilized by the binding talismans, could hardly move! Subsequently, they were cut down by Qin Yun and Xiao Yuelan!

In mere moments, Qin Yun and Xiao Yuelan had wiped out the squad of Bloodline Martial Kings, and Qin Yun had also extracted many Martial Souls!

...

At dawn, nine suns slowly rose, illuminating the earth.

Outside the ancient and weathered gates of the Martial City, many Martial Kings paced back and forth, waiting anxiously for news from inside.

Suddenly, numerous black specks flew towards the city gates, rushing towards the outside, but were blocked by the gate's barrier.

More than a dozen heads fell at the city gate's barrier, just a few meters away from the Martial Kings outside!

Those Bloodline Martial Kings, seeing the heads of their family's disciples, bellowed in rage!

The elders of other sects also watched in horror, as if witnessing the fate of their own disciples!
