Chapter 0498: Ninth Layer Martial Path

On the black-armored airship, people from the Totem Pavilion suddenly demanded passage fees. It was clear that the ship's crew had colluded with the Totem Pavilion to swindle Purple Crystal Coins.

Qin Yun and Yang Shiyue remembered that the black-armored airship had paused earlier, allowing the Totem Pavilion members to board.

The Totem Pavilion operated in both the Spirit Wasteland and the Demon Wasteland, but its headquarters was in the Demon Wasteland, making them extremely arrogant here.

One of the burly men, seeing Qin Yun's reluctance to pay, sneered and said, "Is this your wife? Let her serve me for an hour, and I'll waive your passage fee!"

The other burly man chimed in, "I want an hour too. Agree to this, and your fees are waived!"

With that, the two men closed the door behind them. Both were at the Spirit Martial Realm, so they had no fear of Qin Yun, who was merely at the Martial Path Realm.

Qin Yun produced a talisman, his face filled with anger, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what this talisman is?"

"What does it matter? You’re no match for us!" The burly man sneered. "Such a rare beauty... I will definitely make the most of her!"

"I'll make sure you experience the process of dying!" Qin Yun's voice was icy and filled with killing intent as he hurled the immobilization talisman.

Although the two burly men were at the Spirit Martial Realm, Qin Yun's talisman was a King-Grade Spirit Immobilization Talisman, so they were frozen for two to three seconds!

"Immobilization talisman... Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron! You're Qin Yun!" One of the burly men exclaimed in shock upon seeing the cauldron.

Qin Yun swiftly sealed the two men inside the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron.

Yang Shiyue looked at the small, exquisite cauldron in Qin Yun's palm and smiled softly, "You handled the crisis without me having to lift a finger. What a capable husband!"

Qin Yun grinned, "So, what’s my reward, my dear wife?"

Yang Shiyue's face lit up with tenderness. She smiled sweetly, kissed her fingers, and then gently brushed Qin Yun's lips with them.

Qin Yun licked his lips and teased, "That’s not enough!"

"Enough!" Yang Shiyue laughed, rolling her eyes at him, then turned serious. "Those two disappeared suddenly. They'll definitely be on edge now."

"The people from the Totem Pavilion are becoming more corrupt!" Qin Yun sighed, looking at the small cauldron.

"Many factions and families are involved in overseeing the Totem Pavilion, so they all insert their own people into it. As a result, the connections within the Totem Pavilion are becoming more and more tangled," Yang Shiyue remarked as she sat on the bed, combing her smooth, beautiful hair, looking utterly captivating.

Qin Yun tossed beast meat into the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, burning the two Totem Pavilion members inside, listening to their agonized screams.

A few hours later, there was another knock on Qin Yun's door. When he opened it, he saw an elder from the Totem Pavilion.

"Honored guests, have you seen two burly men in black robes?" the elder asked.

Yang Shiyue's expression turned cold upon hearing this. She snorted, "Your Totem Pavilion is such a powerful organization, yet you resort to such underhanded tactics, demanding passage fees?"

"We passed through the Totem Pavilion's territory, so naturally, we had to pay their passage fees. After all, they ensure our safe passage," the elder replied before quickly closing the door and leaving.

Yang Shiyue scoffed, "These people can't even come up with a decent excuse! In the Demon Wasteland, who would dare attack a Totem Pavilion ship? The Demon Wasteland is vast, and there are plenty of areas not under the Totem Pavilion's control. Why did we have to fly over their territory?"

...

Soon, the black-armored airship grew livelier, and Qin Yun and Yang Shiyue were invited out to join hundreds of others in a spacious hall on the second floor.

These few hundred people had all paid for their tickets on the ship, and most of them were at the Spiritual Martial Stage.

They were gathered here because the two from the Totem Pavilion had disappeared.

The two from the Totem Pavilion did not knock on doors in order; they chose at random, so some rooms were not charged.

As a result, the Mystic Pattern Hall couldn't tell which rooms ended up being charged!

They could only conduct a more detailed inspection.

After several days of trouble, the Mystic Pattern Hall had no choice but to give up and let everyone return to their rooms.

After returning, Qin Yun continued to cultivate his Dao Momentum.

The massive black-armored airship, after more than forty days of flight, finally burst into the Spirit Wasteland and exited the Demon Wasteland!

The enormous black-armored airship only stopped at the border between the Spirit Wasteland and the Demon Wasteland. Although this area was still part of the Spirit Wasteland, it was often prowled by demons and demonic beasts, making it quite dangerous.

Fortunately, there was a city here, built by the Mystic Pattern Hall, but it was also a real rip-off!

By now, Qin Yun had also cultivated his Dao Momentum.

He could only harness the Vibrational Dao Momentum and the Sky Lion Dao Momentum, while his Mingyang Martial Soul stayed dormant, showing no signs of life.

Yang Shiyue and Qin Yun left the large ship and arrived at the city built by the Mystic Pattern Hall.

The city had a weathered look, with many ancient buildings. The stone bricks were moss-covered, but the city was quite lively.

Once they got off the ship, Qin Yun learned that there were actually tens of thousands of people in the lower cabins! These folks had struck deals with the Mystic Pattern Hall, agreeing to work for several decades in exchange for free passage.

The Mystic Pattern Hall used this method to obtain a steady stream of laborers.

These people were merely yearning for life in the Spirit Wasteland, and now that they had a way to get there, they were dead set on seeing it, no matter what.

Yang Shiyue and Qin Yun were together, carefree, with no worries about running low on Purple Crystal Coins. They now stayed in a relatively nice hotel.

Their suite even boasted a private cultivation chamber.

Yang Shiyue came out after her bath, wrapped in a thin robe that outlined her beautiful and voluptuous figure, radiating an irresistible charm.

Qin Yun was by the window, watching the sunset in the evening, and said, "Is this the Spirit Wasteland? It doesn't look all that different from Wuhuang! Even the Nine Sun spiritual energy feels just as thick!"

"The vastness of the Spirit Wasteland rivals that of the Three Wastelands, and it's teeming with resources. It is a very ancient wasteland! When the Spirit Wasteland was at its peak, humans had not yet appeared in Wuhuang!" Yang Shiyue said, "You'll slowly get a feel for the differences between the Spirit Wasteland and Wuhuang!"

Qin Yun looked at the sun in the sky and sighed, "I wonder how Yuelan and the gang are holding up!"

Yang Shiyue smiled sweetly, "She's safe in the Darkmoon Palace! What's most important for you in the Spirit Wasteland is to find the Yang Spirit."

"Has no one obtained the Yang Spirit in the Spirit Wasteland? How is that possible?" Qin Yun exclaimed in surprise.

"Even if someone has obtained it, we can just snatch it from them!" Yang Shiyue chuckled, "Let's get started with our dual cultivation. Now that we're here, we can safely step into the Ninth Layer Martial Path!"

Qin Yun still had a Dragon Essence, and the energy from the large fireball had not been fully consumed, locked away in the Mingyang Dao Core.

Although Qin Yun could not use the powerful strength of the Mingyang Martial Soul, he had to admit that the Mingyang Dao Core was incredibly powerful, capable of containing a great deal of volatile energy.

Qin Yun and Yang Shiyue, both dressed in loose robes, faced each other in the chamber, their palms pressed together, entering a state of dual cultivation.

One advantage of dual cultivation was that it kept strong auras from flaring up during breakthroughs.

No matter how violent the energy is, under the state of the Sun and Moon Heart Scripture where hardness and softness blend, it will flow very calmly within their bodies.

Without the immersion of the holy pool, their cultivation speed is not as fast, but with the support of powerful energy, it won't take too much time.

When Qin Yun and Yang Shiyue cultivate together, they feel the energy of their fusion flowing rapidly within them. Although the flow is fast and fierce, the energy always gives a very gentle feeling.

Qin Yun can feel that the Dao Blood and Dao Bones in his body absorb the most energy, continuously nourishing his muscles, meridians, and even his hair, which is constantly strengthening.

The Ninth Layer Martial Path is also the realm of the great completion of the Dao Body. Because he has cultivated three Dao Pills, his Dao Body is stronger than others.

At this stage, Yang Shiyue has entered the Ninth Layer Martial Path earlier than Qin Yun, but she still cultivates with Qin Yun.

"After your Dao Body reaches great completion, your body's strength and toughness will be much stronger than ordinary Ninth Layer Martial Path practitioners!" Yang Shiyue exclaimed, as she has already achieved great completion of her Dao Body, while Qin Yun is still far from it.

Only after the great completion of the Dao Body can one begin to condense the ninth Life Trace. All three Dao Pills need to condense the ninth Life Trace, so without a strong Dao Body, it is impossible to bear three different ninth Great Dao Life Traces.

After cultivating together for more than a month, Qin Yun finally achieved great completion of his Dao Body and began to condense the ninth Life Trace.

The ninth Life Traces of the three Dao Pills gradually appeared. When they fully manifested, Qin Yun's body trembled continuously, emitting streams of black energy.

Seeing this, Yang Shiyue quickly hugged Qin Yun tightly, and they continued to cultivate together, thus suppressing the energy emanating from Qin Yun's body.

After Qin Yun condensed the ninth Life Trace, he looked at the mature beauty in his arms, feeling her gentle fragrance, and couldn't help but feel delighted.

Yang Shiyue quickly broke free from Qin Yun's embrace and adjusted her loose bathrobe.

She smiled lightly at Qin Yun and said, "It's good that we are cultivating together, otherwise, we might not be able to suppress that energy, and the Nine Sun might turn black again! Xiao Yun, how are your divine abilities?"

Qin Yun closed his eyes to feel and said, "The earthquake divine ability can not only send shockwaves from the ground during an earthquake but also shake a large area of the sky!"

"This third stage of the earthquake divine ability is even more terrifying, but it consumes a lot of Dao Force, enough to drain the energy of one Dao Pill!"

"As for the Sky Lion Summoning Technique... I can still only summon two Sky Lions, but their strength is greater, and they can stay longer!"

Yang Shiyue said, "Xiao Yun, your earthquake divine ability is very strong! But don't think it's only for attacking large areas! You still don't have enough control over the power of your divine abilities! You can use just one-tenth of the divine ability's power, then guide this power within your body and release it through your body!"

"For example, the power of the earthquake divine ability can be guided through your arms, released through punches or palm strikes, or used with weapons to deliver strong shockwave attacks!"
