Chapter 43 Traveling Together in the Desert, the Palace Master's "Prisoner"
Inside the carriage, Yang Qian sat cross-legged, silently regulating his internal energy.
Although he managed to save his life temporarily by using a series of deceptions and even managed to latch onto Yaoyue, a powerful and influential figure, he was far from relaxed and became even more vigilant.
Because he knew very well how terrifying Yaoyue was.
She is ruthless and unpredictable.
Today she can save herself because of the lure of treasure and divine power, but tomorrow she can kill herself without hesitation because of a moment of displeasure.
To negotiate with a tiger for its skin is like dancing on the edge of a knife; the slightest misstep could lead to utter ruin!
The only thing he can rely on now is his own strength!
Only when he is strong enough that even Yaoyue is wary of him can he truly control his own destiny!
"system."
Yang Qian silently said to himself, "Open my panel."
[System panel enabled]
Host: Yang Qian
Realm: Innate third level
Exercise: Changchun Gong (Completed)
Martial Arts: The Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Earth (Minor Success: Breaking the Sea, Shattering the Mountain)
Potential points: 1050
"One thousand and fifty points?!"
Seeing the long string of numbers after the potential points, Yang Qian's heart started pounding uncontrollably!
It's out!
This time, we've really struck it rich!
He recalled carefully that before he fell unconscious in the mass grave, the system seemed to have prompted him to activate the "Gods and Demons Descend" mode, and then he knew nothing more.
It seems that during the time I was unconscious, the summoned "divine and demonic will" caused quite a stir!
Not only did they kill that arrogant man in golden robes, but they probably also wiped out all the big and small martial arts practitioners and members of the Raging Waves Gang in the mass grave!
Although the process was dangerous and costly, the rewards were also unprecedentedly huge!
Over a thousand potential points!
This is enough for him to raise the "Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Destroying Earth" to another level!
At that time, his strength will experience another explosive growth!
"system!"
Yang Qian suppressed his elation and issued the order without hesitation.
"Upgrade my 'Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Destroying Earth'!"
[The Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Destroying Earth have reached Minor Completion. To upgrade to Major Completion (Third Limit: Collapse of Heaven), 500 Potential Points are required. Confirm?]
"Five hundred points?"
Yang Qian raised an eyebrow; it was more than double the 200 points he had previously spent progressing from beginner to intermediate level.
As expected of a divine or demonic martial art, the energy consumption is becoming increasingly terrifying.
However, he did not hesitate at all.
"confirm!"
[Command confirmed, Potential Points -500, currently upgrading "Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Annihilating Earth"...]
Boom!!!
A torrent of energy, larger and more terrifying than ever before, exploded within his body once more! That golden, destructive divine and demonic inner force roared and surged wildly through his meridians like a runaway horse!
"Ugh—!"
The familiar, excruciating pain struck again! Yang Qian gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead!
He felt as if his body was about to be burst apart by this violent energy!
However, this time, he did not suffer for as long as before.
Because he has already reached the Innate Realm!
His body and meridians have been completely transformed, and their resilience is now vastly different from what it used to be!
He quickly adapted to this violent energy and even began to actively guide it, circulating it wildly according to the third move of the "Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Destroying Earth" technique, "Collapse of Heaven"!
One week!
Two cycles!
Three cycles!
……
With each use, he could feel his control over that destructive power growing stronger!
His understanding of that terrifying move called "Heaven Collapse" went even deeper!
Announcement: Update coming soon, please stay tuned!
That was a supreme fist intent that seemed capable of shattering the entire sky with a single punch!
It is an absolute tyranny that transcends all rules!
[Ding! The Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Destroying Earth have been upgraded to the Great Completion (Third Limit: Collapse of Heaven)!]
[Ding! Host's cultivation level has increased! Current cultivation level: Fifth level of the Innate Realm!]
[Ding! Host's Strength +150, Constitution +150, Speed +80!]
The moment the system notification sound faded, Yang Qian slowly opened his eyes. A flash of brilliant gold flickered in his dark pupils!
He felt stronger than ever before!
He was confident that if he were to face that golden-robed man again, he could definitely fight him even without using "Gods and Demons Descend"!
Even kill him!
"call……"
Yang Qian let out a long breath. He opened his control panel again.
Host: Yang Qian
Realm: Fifth Level of the Innate Stage
Exercise: Changchun Gong (Completed)
Martial Arts: The Seven Great Limits of Devouring Heaven and Earth (Mastery: Breaking the Sea, Shattering the Mountain, Collapsing the Sky)
Potential points: 550
Looking at the remaining 500+ potential points, Yang Qian forcibly suppressed the urge to add more.
You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to go step by step.
He has just broken through to the next level and needs some time to stabilize his realm.
Moreover, he also needs to reserve some potential points for unforeseen circumstances.
After all, following Yaoyue, this capricious and unpredictable female demon, no one knows what will happen next.

Just then, the carriage curtain was lifted.
Lianxing's gentle and serene face peeked in.
"Young Master Yang, you're awake?"
She saw that Yang Qian had finished his cultivation and a happy smile appeared on her face.
For the past month, she has visited Yang Qian several times a day, feeding him water and wiping his face, taking meticulous care of him like a little brother.
Therefore, she also felt a strange sense of closeness to Yang Qian.
"Um."
Yang Qian nodded to her and returned a smile.
"Thank you for taking care of me these past few days, Miss Lianxing."
Although he remained in a coma, he was not entirely unaware of his surroundings and knew that this kind woman had been taking care of him.
"No...you're welcome."
Lianxing blushed slightly at his smile and said somewhat shyly,
"My sister asked me to ask you, when are we going to find Yan Nantian's treasure?"
Her eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation.
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Yang Qian's heart skipped a beat.
It's here; what was bound to happen has finally happened.
He couldn't very well tell them that he was just making things up, could he?
Then Yaoyue would definitely tear him apart on the spot!
"The treasure is located in a very secluded place."
Yang Qian's eyes darted around, and he continued his deception.
"I need to go back to Qixia Town first to retrieve a key token for unlocking the treasure."
"Back to Qixia Town?"
Lianxing was stunned for a moment.
"That place is a den of dragons and tigers now. The Nanyang Prefectural Governor's Office and that Heavenly Sword Sect are probably eager to skin you alive. Going back now would be like walking into a trap."
Don't worry.
Yang Qian smiled confidently.
"The entire martial arts world now believes I'm dead in the mass grave. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Besides..."
A hint of tenderness flashed in Yang Qian's eyes. "I have one more reason why I must go back."
He misses his sister-in-law.
Lianxing looked into his gentle eyes and felt a strange stirring in her heart; she seemed to have guessed something.
"All right."
She nodded.
"I'll go tell my sister."
After she finished speaking, she lowered the carriage curtain.
Soon, Yaoyue's cold voice came from outside the carriage.
"Turn around! Go back to Qixia Town!"
