Chapter 24: A Transformation-Level Upgrade, Third Layer Sword Intent!

“The Flame Sutra! This familiar secret technique, my son Qin Yan truly has the potential of a Flame Emperor!”

Qin Yan’s Bound Profound Flame, Void Devouring Flame, inherently had the ability to devour Exotic Flames.

Now, paired with this secret technique, the Flame Sutra, Qin Yan might actually devour his way to the name Flame Emperor in the future!

The Sky Refining Furnace and Alchemy Compendium mainly functioned in alchemy and weapon forging.

For now, they could be given to Qin Family members skilled in alchemy and weapon crafting to use.

After Qin Yan grew up, they would be reclaimed for his own personal use.

As for the Golden Emperor’s Skyfire, like the Void Devouring Flame, this Exotic Flame was among the top powerful Exotic Flames.

Qin Xuan already possessed a Solar Divine Body.

Refining this Golden Emperor’s Skyfire for his own use, the fusion of Solar Divine Power and the Exotic Flame would boost its power at least a hundredfold!

There were also the remaining rewards from the system for giving birth to Qin Qiankun.

The Yin-Yang Formation, Yin-Yang Spirit Field, and Yin-Yang Spirit Fruit Tree were all used to enhance the Qin Family’s strength and foundation.

With these things, plus the previous seventh-grade Spirit Gathering Array, the Qin Family’s development speed would rise another level!

It was also a tiny, tiny bit closer to becoming an eternal god race from legend.

Beyond that, the system even rewarded ten bottles of Yin-Yang Divine Deer Blood, which surprised Qin Xuan.

“It seems even the system knows the strong effect of Yin-Yang Divine Deer Blood! But you gave ten bottles this time—do you want me to pierce the sky?”

Seeing the amount behind Yin-Yang Divine Deer Blood, Qin Xuan couldn’t help but complain.

After all, taking just one drop of Yin-Yang Divine Deer Blood made Qin Xuan fight three heroes for a day and night.

Suddenly getting ten bottles meant Qin Xuan might end up fighting nonstop for a whole year!

After reviewing all the rewards, Qin Xuan pulled out all the Desolate Grade cultivation methods and martial techniques.

[The random Desolate Grade cultivation method draw result was: Desolate Grade top-tier cultivation method: Nine Suns Divine Art! Desolate Grade mid-tier cultivation method: Flying Rainbow Mystic Art! Desolate Grade…]

[The random Desolate Grade martial technique draw result was: Desolate Grade top-tier sword technique: Purple Sky Sword Style! Desolate Grade top-tier blade technique: Demon-Slaying Blade Technique! Desolate Grade high-tier movement skill: Soaring Dragon Movement! Desolate Grade mid-tier fist technique: Meteor Fist! Desolate Grade mid-tier spear technique: Dark Dragon Spear Technique! Desolate Grade…]

Altogether, there were five Desolate Grade cultivation methods and eleven Desolate Grade martial techniques.

Qin Xuan selected the Desolate Grade top-tier cultivation method “Nine Suns Divine Art,” the Desolate Grade top-tier sword technique “Purple Sky Sword Style,” the Desolate Grade mid-tier fist technique “Meteor Fist,” and the Desolate Grade high-tier movement skill “Soaring Dragon Movement” to cultivate—that was one cultivation method and three martial techniques.

As for the remaining Desolate Grade cultivation methods and martial techniques, Qin Xuan decided to leave them for Qin Family members to cultivate to boost their strength and combat power.

However, Desolate Grade cultivation methods and martial techniques were practiced by Colossus-Level Experts and Marquis-Level Experts.

Even heavens’ pride prodigies with exceptional comprehension needed to be at least Palace of Dao Realm great masters or Rotating Sea Realm Grandmasters to cultivate them.

Yet currently, the Qin Family had almost no Palace of Dao Realm great masters, and hardly any Rotating Sea Realm Grandmasters.

So, even with these Desolate Grade cultivation methods and martial techniques, it might take some time before Qin Family members could use them.

After choosing the cultivation methods and martial techniques, Qin Xuan got ready for a crazy upgrade.

But when Qin Xuan thought about the number of Breakthrough Cards rewarded this time, he frowned slightly.

Before, the newbie welcome package and the rewards for Qin Fusu’s birth gave ten Breakthrough Cards each.

Now, for these three sons’ rewards, there were only five Breakthrough Cards each!

The amount was cut by half!

If this trend continued, the next time he had offspring, would he get just two or three Breakthrough Cards per child?

Thinking this, Qin Xuan realized: “More children bring good fortune—more babies mean more leveling up! Looks like the baby-making project needs more ‘dao friends’! No wonder the system rewarded ten bottles of Yin-Yang Divine Deer Blood—it makes sense!”

After this realization, Qin Xuan didn’t fret anymore and used all fifteen Breakthrough Cards to break through.

Boom! Crash!

With endless shattering sounds echoing in the room, the aura around Qin Xuan’s body surged and strengthened!

Ten months ago, after cultivating with Jiang Fangmu, Qin Xuan’s realm lifted to Rotating Sea Realm level one.

Then, after ten months of cultivation, Qin Xuan broke through three more realms, reaching Rotating Sea Realm level four!

Now, after using fifteen Breakthrough Cards, Qin Xuan soared to the top.

He not only became a Palace of Dao Realm great master but reached the peak powerhouse at Palace of Dao Realm level nine!

After breaking through ithe realm, Qin Xuan first merged the True Dragon Bloodline with the Golden Emperor’s Skyfire.

After the fusion, dragon roars echoed inside Qin Xuan’s body.

Threads of golden Dragon Aura flowed through every limb and bone, finally attaching to each muscle.

This made Qin Xuan’s body incredibly tough, matching the hardness of Sky Grade weapons—almost like a humanoid beast!

At the same time, golden flames ignited on Qin Xuan’s skin, radiating intense heat that seemed to burn up everything!

After fusing both divine items, Qin Xuan got ready to use Epiphany Cards to cultivate cultivation methods and martial techniques.

“Fifteen Epiphany Cards could raise three Desolate Grade cultivation methods or martial techniques to perfect stage, and one to major stage!”

“If that’s the case, then boost Nine Suns Divine Art, Purple Sky Sword Style, and Soaring Dragon Movement all to perfect stage, and then…”

“Hold on! I think I forgot something very important!”

Thinking this, Qin Xuan pulled out a faint yellow Sky Grade cultivation method, “Pleasure Harmony Art,” from his robe.

“Damn, almost forgot this cultivation method!”

This dual-cultivation method, “Pleasure Harmony Art,” was found in the Joyous Dao Sect’s Scripture Pavilion after Qin Xuan and Ji Yingyue destroyed the sect.

Although this dual-cultivation method was just a Sky Grade cultivation method, Qin Xuan valued it above all Desolate Grade ones because it said: “Boosts happiness, dual cultivation brings joy.”

So, among the three—Nine Suns Divine Art, Purple Sky Sword Style, and Soaring Dragon Movement— one couldn’t reach perfect and had to stop at major stage.

As for Meteor Fist, just toss it into the Qin Family Scripture Pavilion!

“Nine Suns Divine Art is the main cultivation method—it must be at perfect stage to ensure my cultivation speed and battle power, so that leaves choosing between Purple Sky Sword Style and Soaring Dragon Movement!”

“Then no hesitation— better get it done fast, fight if I can win, die if I can’t, why run away?”

After speaking, Qin Xuan used up all fifteen Epiphany Cards.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! The Sky Grade cultivation method Pleasure Harmony Art you cultivate has risen to perfect stage!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! The Desolate Grade cultivation method Nine Suns Divine Art you cultivate has risen to perfect stage!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! The Desolate Grade martial technique Purple Sky Sword Style has risen to perfect stage, you comprehended the sword ultimate skill: Purple Sky Sky-Splitting Slash!]

[Ding! One Epiphany Card consumed. The Desolate Grade martial technique Soaring Dragon Movement you cultivate has risen to major stage!]

After using all the Epiphany Cards, Qin Xuan felt endless insights and familiarity flood his mind—both cultivation methods and martial techniques became second nature.

The Solar Divine Power inside him solidified into nine small suns hanging in his dantian, providing unending power.

This made Qin Xuan feel a surge of potent Spiritual Energy inside.

His stamina, reaction speed, and battle power grew hugely—at least several times stronger!

After all that, it was finally time to upgrade his Sword Intent!

This time, among the three sons born, only Qin Shimin—the Monstrous Prodigy’s reward— included one Intent Ascension Card, but Qin Xuan was content.

After all, advancing to each layer of intent was many times harder than before.

Many experts spent entire lives stuck before the first three layers.

Qin Xuan, not even twenty yet, would reach Third Layer Sword Intent!

Third Layer Sword Intent was tough for even Divine Treasure Realm Marquis-Level Experts to achieve—it showed how hard and powerful it was.

Thinking this, Qin Xuan said eagerly:

“System, use the Intent Ascension Card!”

[Ding! Intent Ascension Card used successfully! Congratulations, host! Sword Intent has risen to third layer!]
