Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Cave Heaven Reopens (Seeking Subscription 4/5)

Over these three years, although Han Yi wanted to balance the cultivation of various skills, in the end, he still found it difficult to take care of everything.

He first pushed the Spirit Void Finger to the Peak Mastery realm, then added a supplementary Concealment Skill, as well as a defensive Wind Wall Skill.

Han Yi’s primary Spiritual Root is Fire Spirit Root, and since fire generates wind, it is suitable for people with Fire Spirit Root to practice wind attribute Magic Skills. It’s much easier than practicing other elemental skills such as metal or wood. This is also why he chose the Wind Wall Skill.

However, it wasn’t until three years later, at this moment, that he managed to advance his Sword Control Skill from Fire is Purely Green to Peak Mastery.

The sudden increase in power after the breakthrough in Sword Control Skill also caught him off guard.

The more advanced the skills, the harder they become. Every bit of progress is not easy, but if there is a breakthrough, its power will multiply exponentially.

With great mood, Han Yi stepped out again, approximately six months later.

This time, he was heading to the Combat Peak again.

In these years, the Combat Peak has been expanded several times, and it no longer looks like a mountain peak but rather an area with special characteristics within the sect.

Outer disciples, Inner Peak, and even Elders are all gathered here.

When Han Yi ascended the Combat Peak this time, he heard everyone discussing one thing.

Cave Heaven trial was opening again after twelve years.

This time, the number of trial spots is still one hundred. These one hundred spots will be given to the top one hundred Inner Disciples in the Earth Ranking after one month.

During this month, the Inner Disciples went crazy, especially those who arc around the hundredth spot.

Those ranking within the top hundred have to protect their spots, and those outside the top hundred have to desperately win more fights, surpassing others to enter the top hundred.

This intense competition is shown at the Combat Peak right now, in the form of fierce battles.

“One hundred spots; those who participated twelve years ago shouldn’t be few. However, the sect didn’t remove them and let all the Earth Ranking disciples compete, which is fair,”

“If I exert half of my strength, I should have no problem getting on the list. However, going to the sacred Yujing Mountain is not as good as staying in the Xuandan Sect to practice.”

Han Yi shook his head without any intention of getting involved in this matter, even though he was indeed very interested in the sacred Yujing Mountain in his heart.

The Immortal Path is a long journey, and one should not be obsessed with immediate gains and losses.

Han Yi turned his head and went towards the Red Sun Fang market.

Many years later, he entered the Red Sun Fang market again.

This time he came to sell some of the low-ranking artifacts and nameless Spiritual Medicines that he had obtained from his storage bags and to buy more Spiritual Talismans.

Actually,

Han Yi had thought about making talismans himself, but what he lacked most was time. The improvement of the Talisman Making Skill, like Alchemy Skill, required a long time, which he couldn’t afford to wait.

Moreover, since he had enough Spirit Stones on him, why not just buy them directly?

“Fellow Daoist, it’s been many years. Have you been in seclusion and practicing?”

Seeing Han Yi, He Fangwei’s eyes lit up. Even though Han Yi was still wearing his concealment mask, he recognized Han Yi at a glance.

Han Yi nodded without elaborating and took out the artifacts.

“Master He, I came mainly to sell artifacts and buy talismans today.”

Hearing Han Yi’s words, He Fangwei’s eyes gleamed bright.

Every time this fellow Daoist sold artifacts and bought talismans from the Nine Dragons shop, it earned them a lot of money. How could he not be happy?

“Blood Soul Banner, Golden Tripod Plate…”

Among these artifacts, many were chosen from the ones left by Han Yi, and they were mostly low-ranked artifacts. Most of them were like banners, umbrellas, or cauldrons, and there were only a few middle-ranked ones among them.

He kept the artifacts that he might use, such as sword or knife artifacts, regardless of their rank – low or middle. At critical moments, he could detonate these artifacts using the Sword Control Skill to block enemies.

After a check, He Fangwei quoted a price, and Han Yi accepted it.

Then,

He Fangwei watched Han Yi eagerly, but Han Yi waved his hands: “That’s all, there’s nothing else.”

“Nothing else? Are you sure?”

He Fangwei was somewhat uncertain.

The artifacts taken out by Han Yi were many, but their ranks were relatively low.

“No, I also have these dozen storage bags. Let’s sell them together.”

Han Yi took out more than a dozen storage bags, which were mainly left by the robbing cultivators outside Daofu City.

He Fangwei’s eyes, which had just brightened up, went dull again.

Seeing his regretful expression, Han Yi said irritably, “Fellow Daoist, I’m not a robbing cultivator. How can I possibly sell you such good artifacts every time?”

He Fangwei glanced at Han Yi and rolled his eyes.

You’re not a robbing cultivator, but you’re better than one. With so many artifacts and storage bags, even robbing cultivators would be killed by you if they encountered you. What He Fangwei didn’t know was that he actually guessed it right.

After the settlements, Han Yi added some more Spirit Stones and bought a few talismans. This time, he didn’t buy many but rather focused on the ones most suitable for him.

Escaping Talisman, Protecting Body Talisman, Yin Thunder Talisman.

Together with the two Annihilation Talismans Han Yi got from the storage bags earlier, he felt it was enough.

“By the way, Fellow Daoist, do you provide artifact appraisal service here?” Han Yi remembered that he still had a silver mirror in his storage bag and took it out.

He Fangwei nodded. Seeing the mirror, his eyes lit up.

“Silver Makeup Mirror?”

“Yes, it should be the Silver Makeup Mirror.”

After some appraisal by He Fangwei, he confirmed that this mirror was indeed called the Silver Makeup Mirror.

“Manager He, is this one of the silver series magic tools you mentioned before?” Han Yi wanted to make sure of this.

He Fangwei nodded, “Yes, it’s one of the high-grade magic tools from the Southern Dipper Divine Palace’s silver series.”

“Fellow Daoist, did you sneak into the Southern Dipper Divine Palace and take away the silver series?”

Han Yi shook his head with a smile, took back the mirror, and did not intend to sell it; he was just confirming its value.

He Fangwei showed regret, “The silver series, such excellent high-grade magic tools… Fellow Daoist, if you ever need to sell it in the future, please choose Jiulong Shop. I promise to only charge a handling fee and won’t make any extra money from you. As for this appraisal, let’s not charge you any fees.”

Han Yi was naturally happy to save money, so he casually agreed. Their business relationship had already built a strong trust.

Before leaving, Han Yi suddenly remembered something and took two black beads with extremely fast cracks from his storage bag.

These two beads were the result of the fierce attack launched by the robbing cultivator outside of Daofu City, and that black light brushing by him nearly caused his downfall.

“Manager He, please help me evaluate these broken magic tools.”

He Fangwei picked up the black bead fragments and observed them, his expression gradually becoming serious.

“Fellow Daoist, where did you get this item?”

Han Yi raised his eyebrows: “Manager He, is there something special about this item?”

“I have never seen this kind of magic tool, but I have seen it described in an ancient book. This magic tool is called the Mother-and-Child Destruction Pearl and is a one-time-use item.”

“However, it belongs to the evil cultivators’ magic tools, because refining the Mother-and-Child Destruction Pearl requires a living human sacrifice and goes against the natural order. This is my first time seeing it.”

He Fangwei shook his head, apparently not interested in these magic tools, even showing some disgust.

Han Yi put away the broken bead, and since it belongs to the evil cultivators’ magic tools and goes against the natural order, he wouldn’t try to restore it.

After thanking He Fangwei, he left Red Sun Fang Market, walked down Red Sun Peak, and paused when he reached Azure Dragon Peak.

At the edge of the Azure Dragon Cliff, a familiar figure caught Han Yi’s eye, calmly looking at him before turning their head away, gazing at the Cloud Sea.

Han Yi’s heart skipped a beat but did not worry; he respectfully approached.

Yuan Shun, the Sect Master of the Xuandan Sect, Yuan Shun.

At the moment, he was still dressed in white without any magic tools, appearing like an ordinary mortal, but within ten meters of him, the surroundings were calm, quiet, and seemed like a cut-off separate space.

“Han Yi pays respects to Sect Master.” Han Yi respectfully saluted, and in his heart, he began to wonder what matter would make Yuan Shun come to him.

Counting this time, it had already been the third time. The first time was discovering the Blood God Sect traitors, and the second was after returning from the Evil Mountain Range; both had traces to follow.

This third time, there were no clues whatsoever.

“For the second Cave Heaven trial, there are too slots, but after the first trial, the sect made a proposal. In addition to these too slots, more slots were added, with each Supreme Elder nominating a disciple whose strength is not enough but has high potential.”

Yuan Shun got straight to the point, directly mentioned the main theme, and sighed softly after that.

“The sect is too big to be completely fair and unbiased; I understand that too.”

“Originally, the slot for me was meant for You Wu, but with his rapid progress, he had already established the Immortal Path Foundation in the previous years, which left an extra slot available.”

Yuan Shun turned around, and his gaze landed on Han Yi.

“At the Qi Cultivation 8th level, your realm is mediocre. However, you have killed many Blood God Sect cultivators and even taken out several silver-series magic tools. Your strength should be no weaker than the ordinary 9th level cultivator.”

“This opportunity suits you well. Go, experience some trials, and meet the legendary Qi Cultivating cultivators across the world. It’s quite worthwhile.”

“In a month, come to the Combat Peak.”

Yuan Shun spoke unhurriedly but didn’t give Han Yi any chance to refuse. After finishing, he turned around and left. This time, he didn’t travel through the Cloud Sea but walked towards the Azure Dragon Palace, presumably having other matters to attend to.

Han Yi stood still, watching Yuan Shun leave and bowed thankfully.

When he raised his head, his expression was a bit complicated, with both surprise and delight.

The surprise was Yuan Shun’s knowledge of his transactions in the market, which allowed him to infer that Han Yi had killed many Blood God Sect cultivators and guessed his realm to be around the advanced Qi Cultivation level.

The first half was accurate, but Yuan Shun did not know that Han Yi had strong enough strength to kill the 9th level cultivators when he was only at the Qi Cultivation 7th level.

And after breaking through to the Qi Cultivation 8th level and achieving a peak mastery skill, although he hadn’t tested it, he was confident that his strength was not inferior to those at the Qi Cultivation peak. He could even compete with legendary Qi Cultivators like Han Xuxiao.

This was his theoretical guess, untested because, so far, neither Death Platform had really competed with Qi Cultivation peak or above the legendary Qi Cultivators.

Winning or losing could only be determined after the competition.

The delight was that he didn’t have to participate in the ranking to directly get a Cave Heaven trial slot. It was like a gift from heaven.

Han Yi didn’t dislike participating in the Cave Heaven trial, but weighing the pros and cons, he didn’t want to spend so much time just to get a top 100 Earth Ranking and expose his true strength.

With such a high price, he chose to give up.

Ever since discovering the Blood God Sect traitor years ago, he had warned himself to keep a low profile in the Xuandan Sect, not wanting to be the bird that gets shot as it sticks its head out.

However, if he could get a slot without participating in the Earth Rankings, he would definitely accept the benefit.

Moreover, the Cave Heaven trial did not appear dangerous from the first time, as everyone came back alive, so there was nothing to worry about.

After returning to the courtyard, Han Yi continued to cultivate without any preparation.

The Spirit Void Finger, Sword Control Skill, and Light Body Technique had already broken through to peak mastery; for now, Han Yi estimated he wouldn’t be able to push these three skills to a higher level before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

He was now refining the Fire Shield Skill, a defensive fire attribute magic skill that had provided strong defensive abilities during several battles. Its importance was no less than that of the peak mastery skills.

While practicing the Fire Shield Skill, he also paid more attention to his advancing realm..
