Upon hearing the words Magnificent Jasper, Li Yuanli's gaze immediately sharpened as well, locking onto Ning Ya.
This crucial intelligence was obtained through his Life Source Talent, and the key clue lay precisely with her. If they could successfully explore the ruins, it would represent an enormous personal gain for him, too.
"Magnificent Jasper? I've heard of that Sect. It was one of the legendary Eight Kunlun Sects in ancient times," Ning Ya finally spoke, sounding puzzled. "Senior Martial Uncle, why did you suddenly bring this up?"
Qin Yi chuckled. "It's nothing, just asking."
"Then what exactly is your connection?"
"It seems you're linked to this Magnificent Jasper Sect that vanished from history. Senior Martial Uncle is quite curious."
As his gaze turned sharp, Ning Ya instantly felt herself locked onto by a keen sword intent. Cold sweat broke out all over her body.
"You damned Daoist, are you trying to find out about the Magnificent Jasper Faction?" An Yi spoke, her voice laced with a cold sneer.
"That's right. I'm interested. You know something?" Qin Yi raised his brows and stared at her.
The feeling of facing her was indescribable; pity, fondness, delight, all seemed insufficient to capture the complex emotions in his heart. Qin Yi knew that toward this person, no, this demon, he had indeed developed an inexplicable attachment. At the same time, this was also his final trial on the Dao of Cultivation, the ultimate barrier before Forgetting the Dao.
If he could pass it, he could step smoothly into the Ninth Realm. If he failed, his cultivation might very well stagnate here for the rest of his life.
From ancient times to the present, countless cultivators had failed to cross this barrier: Xu Zhangqing, Jing Tian, Li Xiaoyao, all of them. What would his own ending be?
"Of course I know. I am the last-generation disciple of the Magnificent Jasper Faction!" An Yi sneered as she made the astonishing declaration.
"You're a disciple of Magnificent Jasper?" Qin Yi was genuinely surprised.
"That's right. Although Magnificent Jasper was destroyed by the Heavenly Emperor, branches of its lineage were still passed down. Though I am a demon, before the last Magnificent Jasper disciple passed away, he still left behind the inheritance."
"This inheritance, though battered by wind and rain for countless years, was never severed, and in the end, it came to me," An Yi stated calmly.
Her eyes were filled with disdain as she coldly glared at Qin Yi.
"You want the Magnificent Jasper inheritance?"
"A dignified Mount Shu disciple, yet you'd do something so shameless, how laughable!"
Qin Yi's expression remained calm, a faint smile on his lips. He did not entirely believe An Yi's words. Instead, he called out softly:
"Yuanli."
"Understood!"
Li Yuanli's eyes flickered as his Life Source Talent began to operate.
Memories from the Past, the turbulent years of bygone ages, drifting through tens of thousands of years, now visible once more. This was an immensely powerful talent. As Li Yuanli activated it, his vision instantly pierced through ancient and modern times alike.
His gaze focused on An Yi. Mysterious, inexorable information from vanished time and space flowed toward him.
After a long moment, excitement burst forth in Li Yuanli's eyes.
He saw it, he truly saw it.
He saw the hidden traces of the Magnificent Jasper Faction, witnessed the transmission and transformation of its inheritance, and even obtained the precise location where Magnificent Jasper had fallen and was ultimately buried beneath mountains and earth.
"Your Majesty, it's in Kunlun! It's in Kunlun! I saw it!" Li Yuanli exclaimed excitedly.
A knowing smile appeared in Qin Yi's eyes. He swept a glance over the two women before him and saw that both of their expressions had already changed.
"Shall the two of you come along and take a look?"
As he spoke, a teasing smile rose at the corner of his mouth as he looked at An Yi.
"The final disciple of Magnificent Jasper."
An Yi's expression darkened as she let out a cold snort.
No one lingered any longer. In the next instant, they rose with the wind. Sword light flashed as they shot straight into the heavens.
Three days later, rolling mountain ranges appeared before the four of them. Lush and verdant, the vast mountain chain lay there like a Crouching Dragon, radiating boundless Spiritual Qi. One glance was enough to inspire awe and reverence.
Kunlun, hailed as the foremost divine mountain, this was a land of supreme feng shui, home to countless Immortal abodes. It also harbored innumerable heavenly treasures and spiritual essences of all things. To the outside world, this place was filled with endless mystery and untold riches.
"There are so many mountain peaks here, where exactly is the Magnificent Jasper?" Qin Yi gazed into the distance and asked in puzzlement.
"Magnificent Jasper fell out of favor with the Heavenly Emperor long ago and was buried by history. Among these layers of mountains, who even knows where the former Magnificent Jasper was laid to rest?"
"And even if you did find it, so what? Re-cultivate the Magnificent Jasper Sutras, incur the Heavenly Emperor's wrath again? Are you planning to defy the heavens?" An Yi sneered.
"It's here, Your Majesty, I found it! Hahahaha! Soon, we can rebuild a Sect based on Magnificent Jasper!"
"When the time comes, when the time comes, the Realm Gate!" Li Yuanli suddenly shouted excitedly, then abruptly stopped mid-sentence.
His words made both An Yi and Ning Ya turn pale with shock and suspicion.
"You heard it, didn't you? What we intend to do."
Qin Yi's calm voice caused An Yi to draw in a sharp breath, her eyes filled with astonishment.
In the next instant, Qin Yi and Li Yuanli transformed into streaks of sword light, shooting rapidly toward a certain peak within the Kunlun Mountains.
Kunlun had been revered since ancient times as a sacred Daoist land. In antiquity, Qi Refiners often gathered here. It straddled dragon veins, brimmed with Spiritual Qi, and was rich in heavenly treasures, making it the ideal cultivation ground. Only later, when Magnificent Jasper defied the heavens and was struck by Heavenly Fire, did Kunlun suffer a great calamity that damaged its veins. Yet now, Kunlun had already regained its former splendor, showing signs of a dragon soaring skyward.
"Sister Yiyi… they, they want to rebuild Magnificent Jasper?!" Ning Ya exclaimed in shock.
"I don't believe it. That's defying the heavens. If the Heavenly Realm finds out, they'll surely die."
"Magnificent Jasper was buried in the dust of history long ago, this is the Heavenly Dao." An Yi's gaze flickered, her expression uncertain. After staring at Qin Yi's back for a long moment, she gritted her teeth and followed after him.
When the two women landed behind Qin Yi on a certain mountain peak, their expressions were filled with shock.
"It's right here!"
Li Yuanli swung his sword repeatedly. The ground was split open to a depth of over thirty meters, revealing stone that gleamed like white jade.
"This is the Magnificent Jasper ruin! Upper King, it's right here!"
Qin Yi's eyes sharpened, a determined smile appearing on his face. He gently closed his eyes, then opened them again. Amid swirling mist and radiance, he clearly saw the massive structure buried beneath the surface.
"Enter from there."
He pointed, beneath a towering tree.
The two men stepped forward, but An Yi's expression was filled with disbelief.
"What exactly are you trying to do?"
She had originally thought this flamboyant Daoist was nothing more than a lustful rogue. She never expected him to be this bold. The Magnificent Jasper Faction had fallen due to the Heavenly Realm's hatred and was buried underground. Everyone in the cultivation world knew this, yet no one dared speak of it. Over the years, some Daoists had tried to investigate, but either they were too fearful to continue or simply couldn't find a way in.
And yet this man actually dared to make a move on Magnificent Jasper itself.
Standing beneath the massive tree, Qin Yi swung his hand, cleaving apart the tree that stood over ten meters tall. With another point of his finger, dust billowed as a perfectly clear passageway leading straight downward appeared.
Seeing the unobstructed tunnel, Qin Yi curved his lips slightly and replied casually.
"What am I doing?"
"With such a foundation, naturally, we rebuild a Sect."
"From this day forth, I shall be the Headmaster!"
An Yi froze, her expression changing drastically.
Before she could say another word, Qin Yi had already leapt down into the passage, his figure vanishing from sight.
