Chapter 231
"Teacher, there's a wave at the Myriad Star Lake. What happened?" Qin Yun hurriedly asked when he saw Du Gui's alarmed expression.
Du Gui and the other elders from the Star Xuan Wu Academy all had the same expression on their faces. There was a trace of fear mixed with shock.
Lan Fengjin also stopped in the air. She frowned as she looked at the waves below and said in a deep voice, "The waves in the Myriad Star Lake is a bad sign. It is an omen that disaster will befall us."
"Waves rise in the Star Lake, the nine suns gradually disappear and only the dark suns hung in the sky... this is an ancient prophecy!" Du Gui's voice contained some fear. "In other words, the nine suns will gradually disappear, leaving only the dark sun in the sky. The dark sun, on the other hand, can devour everything."
Qin Yun's heart skipped a beat. He had a Nether Sun Martial Spirit in his body!
"Is this true?" Qin Yun looked at Lan Fengjin. He did not know why but he felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
Lan Fengjin took a deep breath and said, "I don't know if that's true or not but this prophecy has been circulating in our Blue Spirit Star Palace for a long time! That is to say, the nine suns will disappear one by one. As for how long it will take, no one knows. Every time a sun disappear, a great calamity would occur. When the nine suns have all disappeared, a black, dark sun will appear and it will devour everything in the Nine Desolate Lands."
When the other students and coaches heard this, they immediately became terrified.
Du Gui said, "The prophecy said that because the Nine Suns are soulless, they will gradually disappear. As for whether it's true, we can't be sure. Maybe, only the gods know what's going on."
"In short, the waves are rising in the Myriad Star Lake, this is not an ordinary matter." Lan Fengjin said.
"Let's return to the Star Xuan Wu Academy first." Dean Bai said.
At this moment, everyone was in a panic. If the nine suns were to fall, then the entire Nine Desolate Land would be plunged into darkness!
Qin Yun's heart was heavy as he constantly thought back to Du Gui's words. Nine Suns without souls... Furthermore, he had the Nine Yang Divine Spirit in his hand. He didn't know if it was related to the Nine Suns' Soul or not.
Other than that, there was also the Nine Yin Divine Spirit, which was in Xie Qirou's hands.
"Elder sister Grand Preceptor, what's going on? Who exactly are you? What is your relationship with the Immortal Graveyard?" Qin Yun seemed to feel that there were great secrets hidden within Xie Qirou's body.
After returning to the Heaven's Pride Academy, the moment Qin Yun entered the building, he immediately entered his room. After closing the door, he placed the Immortal graveyard diagram on the table and dripped blood on it.
"Big sis Grand Preceptor, hurry up and speak!" Qin Yun constantly dripped blood as he recited the words in his heart.
His blood dripped onto the snow-white Immortal Graveyard Diagram and was quickly absorbed by it. An hour passed in this manner. Qin Yun was also extremely weak as he leaned back in his chair and recovered his blood energy by absorbing the Nine Suns' energy.
"It seems like this won't work. I can only try to put Little MeiLian, YueLan and my Immortal Graveyard Diagram together. However, Little MeiLian is currently in closed door cultivation. I don't know when she will come out." Qin Yun had previously learned that Qi Meilian was highly valued by her teacher. She was heavily nurtured and had access to a large amount of resources for cultivation.
Qin Yun was very happy for her. He hoped that she could become stronger.
Right now, he could only wait for Qi Meilian to come out of closed door cultivation and contact Xiao Yuelan to come over. He wanted to gather the three Immortal Graveyard Diagram together and wanted to see if he could contact Xie Qirou.
The disappearance of the nine suns and the arrival of the natural disaster were things that would only happen in many years. There was no point in being anxious right now. To Qin Yun, defeating Xiao Yanglong in two years was the most important matter.
"I am now at the eighth level Martial Body realm, the Vajra Spirit Realm. If I want to enter the ninth level, I must first learn how to condense the Inner Supreme Force!" Qin Yun recalled how Du Gui had guided him in his cultivation of the Inner Supreme Force.
The difficult part was that he had to continuously release the Vajra inner strength and use it to rinse the Vajra bone marrow to produce the qi.
"Continuously releasing the Vajra inner strength? This will consume a lot of energy!" Qin Yun followed Du Gui's instructions and released the Vajra inner strength.
Not long after that, streams of Vajra inner strength gushed out from the three inner yuans and seeped into the bone marrow to refine it. In order to achieve his goal, he had to release the Vajra inner strength and fill up his bones.
This consumption rate was beyond huge!
During the martial arts competition, he would only be able to unleash some of his Vajra inner strength. Even so, he had consumed a lot of it. Therefore, if he wasn't especially confident in defeating his opponent, he wouldn't casually use his Vajra inner strength, it would drain away his strength too fast.
And now, Qin Yun was using all his strength to unleash the Vajra inner strength without restraint. He was filling every bone in his body with it.
During his cultivation, his entire body radiated a faint golden light. This was because his bones were filled with the vajra inner strength. This was also the time he was releasing his strongest aura.
An hour passed!
Qin Yun, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and immediately lay down. He was exhausted. All three of his inner yuans had been drained.
This was the first time in his history that he had released his internal energy to the limit! Moreover, the Vajra inner strength crazily stimulated his bones and flesh, which also caused him to be extremely exhausted. His bones and flesh would take a period of time to recover after such intense tempering.
Even though he was exhausted, Qin Yun had to take out some demon beast meat to eat. If not, his flesh and bones would not have enough nutrition when they recovered. It was a good thing that he had the Nine Yang Divine Spirit and he could absorb even more pure spiritual energy from the Starsun Treasure Tree, so he could use it to replenish his energy.
It took a day and night for Qin Yun to recover to his peak condition.
"After cultivating at my maximum speed for an hour, i won't be able to rest for an entire day. No wonder so many people were stuck before entering the ninth level martial boy." Qin Yun thought back and felt mixed emotions.
Since this was the first time he was using this method of cultivation, the Vajra Bone Marrow still needed to undergo repeated tempering in order to produce the Inner Supreme Force. Du Gui said that those who just stepped into the 8th level Martial Body needed to train like that at least dozens of times before being able to cultivate a bit of the inner supreme force.
"This won't do. If this goes on, I won't be able to step into the 9th level Martial Body realm within two years! Even if I managed to cultivate the Inner Supreme Force, I still have a long way to go before I can break through."
Qin Yun naturally knew that even if he cultivated using this method to death, he would not be able to break through within a short period of time.
Xiao YueLan and Yang ShiYue were able to step into the 9th level Martial Body realm at such a young age.
"A grand formation!" Qin Yun suddenly thought of an idea as he secretly rejoiced. "I need to set up a better Nine Suns Spirit Convergence Array."
He had made one before but the production conditions were bad, so the product was not the best.
Right now, he had several hundred million crystal coins and many high-level beast skins. He was sure that he could create a beast skin formation!
Qin Yun came into the hall and saw Lan Fengjin giving guidance to Huo Zhong and company on their cultivation. It was mainly in the area of using martial arts techniques.
He was extremely adept at using martial techniques, so he did not need to learn them in particular. For example, he himself had reached the Perfection Stage of the six style Wind Slayer skill and was able to utilize the Vajra inner strength to execute them.
However, it was impossible to reach a great perfection realm. There were some martial skills that did not have this realm and could only be comprehended by oneself.
"Sister Lan, is there anything going on in the Heaven's Pride Academy? If not, I'll be busy with my own things." Qin Yun asked.
"No. The Heaven's Pride Academy will organize events every three months. Even if they do want to start something, it will have to wait three months. You can relax and go back to your work." She also knew that Qin Yun had taken up the challenge against Xiao Yanglong.
Qin Yun said with a smile, "That's good. I'll go exchange for some Xuan Points. The Class 9 Magical Crystal Core I have is worth more than two hundred million Xuan Points."
"Qin Yun, the three Xuan Academies and Blue Spirit Star Palace have just made a rule. If you use the magic cores to exchange for Xuan Points, you can only exchange for 100 million Xuan Points a year!" Murong Daren sighed.
"Damn it!" Qin Yun could not help but curse softly.
Xue Ziye said, "They don't really need magic cores, which is why the exchange rate is limited. There are no restrictions on magical beast crystal eggs and it's very difficult to obtain them."
"Alright, I can also use the Magic Core to exchange for one hundred million Xuan Points." Qin Yun felt extremely helpless. He hurriedly walked out of the building and went to find other mentors.
There were some instructors that needed him to inscribe spatial spirit marks. He would be able to obtain four Class 9 Monster Cores just by carving once. The spatial spirit inscriptions he had carved had been simplified by him. They belonged to the mid-grade spatial spirit inscriptions.
Even so, the coaches were very satisfied. In the morning, he had succeeded five times in carving, with a total of twenty Class 9 Monster Cores.
At the center of the Star Xuan Wu Academy, the Xuan Point Shop was very lively. As the manager here, Pan Dawei would take a look around the hall from time to time.
The moment Qin Yun entered the hall, he saw Pan Dawei.
Pan Dawei also saw Qin Yun before he smilingly led Qin Yun into a VIP lounge.
"Elder Fatty, can you make an exception for me to exchange for a few more Xuan points?" Qin Yun took out sixty Class 9 Monster Cores and piled them on the table.
Pan Dawei's round face was filled with embarrassment as he said with a sigh, "Qin Yun, to be honest, you have exchanged a lot of Xuan Points. This matter was known to the other Martial Academies and Blue Spirit Star Palace and now that you have entered the Heaven's Pride Academy, you can go to the other Martial Academies to exchange for items. So the reason they set such a rule is also because of you."
With a storage spirit artifact, Qin Yun could quickly exchange for a lot of demon beast cores. This meant that he could easily obtain a large number of Xuan points! Many people felt that this method would destroy the fairness of the Xuan Point exchange, so they placed restrictions on him.
Actually, exchanging for one hundred million Xuan Points every year was only limited to him. This was because the vast majority of the students were already lucky if they used Magic Beast Cores to exchange for thirty to twenty million Xuan Points every year.
With Pan Dawei's words, Qin Yun understood.
"Alright, I'll exchange for one hundred million Xuan Points!" Qin Yun originally had a hundred million. He had obtained first place in the trials and received a hundred million as a reward. Now, he was exchanging another hundred million for three hundred million Xuan Points. This was not a small amount.
A single Stage Nine Magic Core could be exchanged for five million Xuan Points. Pan Dawei took twenty Magic Crystals from the table and gave Qin Yun one hundred million Xuan Points.
"Qin Yun, I've heard about your challenge to Xiao Yanglong! If there were no restrictions on your exchange for Xuan Points, I believe that you would be able to step into the Martial Dao Realm within two years. Sorry, I can't help you much." Pan Dawei felt helpless as well. He heaved a long sigh. It was clear that he too wished to obtain the Class 9 Magical Crystal Core from Qin Yun.
Qin Yun kept the magic cores on the table and said with a smile, "It's fine. There's no such thing as a dead end in the world!"
Pan Daweis eyes turned as he suddenly said: "Oh right, you can go to the Divine Inscription Palace and try. You haven't been to the main branch of the palace, right? There are a lot of resources in the Divine Inscription Palace. They might be able to get something that the crystal coins cannot get."
