Zhang Xiaoshuai stepped forward and asked curiously, "Boss, what realm have you reached?"
Seeing everyone's excited gazes, Qin Ning smiled faintly, "Spirit Sea Realm... ninth level!"
He gently clenched and then released his hand. At this moment, the qi from the nine Spirit Seas was gradually radiating outwards.
At that instant, his aura became terrifyingly formidable.
It was indeed the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm.
At that moment, everyone was completely stunned.
From the sixth level of the Spirit Sea Realm to the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm in just one day and one night!
What kind of concept was this?
An ordinary disciple would take a month to advance one realm, and that was already considered extremely transcendent.
But Qin Ning had advanced three levels in just one day and one night.
Even with the Nine Origin Jade Dew, it shouldn't be this terrifying!
Everyone looked at Qin Ning, completely speechless.
At this moment, Qin Ning didn't say much either.
If these five people knew that not only had his cultivation increased rapidly, but his alchemy flame had also reached the high-grade orange color, they would probably be even more astonished.
While this might seem incomprehensible to ordinary people, for him, it was perfectly normal.
Rapid increases in strength might leave behind consequences later, but Qin Ning wasn't worried.
He cultivated the Hundred Refinements Adamant Body Art not as a casual choice for fun.
This spirit art was created by him in his third life under the name of the Mad Martial Heavenly Emperor.
Although it was only the most basic first-grade spirit art, it contained extremely powerful cultivation qi.
Strengthening the body began with promoting the Spirit Sea.
Coupled with the effects of the Nine Origin Jade Dew, which further enhanced his physical constitution, the opened Spirit Sea springs were also sufficiently powerful.
His strength had reached a level where his body and Spirit Sea were in balance.
He had originally intended to use this opportunity to build his Spirit Platform and reach the Spirit Platform Realm directly.
But after careful consideration, Qin Ning still gave up.
The Spirit Platform Realm required a stable Spirit Platform, using the Spirit Sea as its foundation to construct the Spirit Platform within the Spirit Sea.
This required quiet accumulation to condense.
If he reached the Spirit Platform Realm too quickly, it would not be economical at all.
"Alright, let's get ready to depart!"
Qin Ning said with a smile, "In the next few days, we need to kill more spirit beasts."
"Moreover, the people from the Crown Prince Faction and the Willow Gate will not easily give up. There will definitely still be people coming to hand over their imprints to us to level up!"
"We'll reach level 9 in just a few days!"
After Qin Ning finished speaking, everyone looked at each other.
Qin Ning's ambition was truly grand!
This person completely disregarded the Crown Prince Faction and the Willow Gate, and even the extremely powerful Square Circle Association within the inner courtyard.
If those people united, without the protection of the Black and White Killer Tiger, how could they possibly be their opponents?
The difference in numbers alone would be enough to crush them.
But Qin Ning seemed to care little about this.
The six people, in a line, began to busy themselves in the training area.
This time, they had also leveled up quite a bit, and they could still handle spirit beasts.
Qin Ning remained as before, watching everyone kill spirit beasts day after day without making a move himself.
Lu Xuan, Xun Yu, and Zhang Xiaoshuai became even more skilled after experiencing the secret techniques Qin Ning had taught them.
Every day after their practice, they would ask Qin Ning where they had done well and where they hadn't.
This continued for about four or five days. Seeing that the training was about to end, everyone's imprints, with Qin Ning's being the highest, were only at level 7.
The other five were at level 6.
But they were already quite satisfied.
Originally, a rank 5 imprint was already quite high.
“Not much time left!”
Qin Ning narrowed his eyes, looked at the vast training ground, and said indifferently, “These brats can’t be so magnanimous as to let this go, can they?”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan and the other two were speechless again.
It would be great if they let it go; if they went crazy, wouldn’t they all die?
Qin Ning’s heart, however, was filled with disappointment.
If they really let it go, how would they level up?
With only one day left, everyone woke up early in the morning.
The entire training ground was still incredibly quiet.
It seemed everyone knew this was the end, and they all cultivated peacefully, not intending to seek any more trouble.
Qin Ning also got up, stretched, and said helplessly, “It seems I’ll have to stop at rank 7. To be honest, I’m quite looking forward to the rewards from the Heavenly God Academy!”
“After all, I can choose any spirit technique and spirit artifact. If I remember correctly, the Heavenly God Academy still has a few good items.”
Still has a few good items?
The entire Heavenly God Academy had more valuable items than the Northern Underworld Empire.
There were even rank 4 spirit artifacts and spirit techniques there.
These rank 4 spirit techniques and spirit artifacts, placed in any family within the Northern Underworld Empire, would become a treasured family heirloom.
These items were incredibly precious.
In Qin Ning’s eyes, however, they were just… a few good items.
“Hmm?”
As the group was preparing to leave the mountain at noon to return to the Heavenly God Academy, strange sounds suddenly echoed.
The ground began to shake in waves.
Even some trees started to break.
“What’s happening?”
Qin Hai looked around, surprised, and said, “An earthquake?”
“We’ll know what’s happening if we go and see!”
Qin Ning calmly said, “Let’s go to the place with the biggest tremors!”
Having said that, Qin Ning moved.
The group headed towards the tremors, and the intensity there grew stronger the deeper they went.
And gradually, Qin Ning also broke into a smile.
“What is Young Master laughing about?”
Ye Yuan Yuan followed Qin Ning, asking in confusion.
With such tremors, if one wasn’t careful, they would fall and be crushed into pulp, yet Qin Ning could still smile.
“Perhaps something interesting has appeared!”
Qin Ning smiled, “I didn’t expect that after tens of thousands of years, that little toy from back then still exists. Looking at this situation, it seems it’s still well-preserved!”
Little toy?
Ye Yuan Yuan became even more bewildered.
“Let’s go!”
Qin Ning sped up, and about half an hour later, the group appeared at the foot of Mount Wuzhi.
Mount Wuzhi consisted of several peaks connected to each other, each thousands of meters high.
Looking up the mountain, countless figures were desperately fleeing downwards, as if escaping.
And from the mountaintop, boulders were constantly rolling down; some who couldn’t escape in time were crushed into minced meat by the rocks.
“It’s exactly as I thought!”
Qin Ning looked at the scene, a hint of joy appearing in his brows.
“Everyone, find a safe place and wait for me!”
After Qin Ning finished speaking, he flew straight up.
With just a few jumps, his body was as agile as a monkey, dodging the enormous rolling rocks.
