Chapter 307: Chapter 191: Only Worth One Sword_3

Master Jade Heart’s voice was as ethereal as celestial music, yet Han Yi’s heart remained unswayed by it, devoid of any hint of infatuation.

“If I make it onto the list, it will be nothing more than luck. There are many aspects in which I still lack and need to learn from my seniors,” said Han Yi humbly.

The two exchanged a few more words. When Master Jade Heart mentioned Qin Wuxian, she also mentioned that she hadn’t seen her in many years, and that’s when Han Yi found out that Qin Wuxian knew Master Jade Heart.

A moment later, Master Jade Heart left with Zuo Lie and the other cultivators from the White Jade Tower.

After registering at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Han Yi was assigned a residence.

There was a minor incident during the registration process.

Han Yi’s invitation stated that he was a cultivator from the Heavenly Will Sect. However, Han Yi requested that the registration personnel change his sect to the Xuandan Sect.

As the early-stage Foundation Establishment officer didn’t dare to make such a decision on his own, in the end, a Golden Core cultivator from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was invited to verify Han Yi’s request, and only then was his sect changed begrudgingly.

After receiving his participant identity plate, Han Yi hadn’t even entered the assigned courtyard yet when he noticed a sharp gaze falling on him.

He stopped and followed the gaze to its source.

Behind him to the right, separated by two hundred meters, stood a cultivator carrying a blood-red sword, his eyes cold and fixated on Han Yi.

“Fu You,” Han Yi calmly responded, meeting the gaze.

Two hundred meters away, a surge of killing intent swelled in Fu You’s heart, but he managed to suppress it.

As he stared at Han Yi, blood and fire flickered in his eyes. He had not forgotten the humiliation he had experienced in both the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm and the Treasured Jade Heaven because of Han Yi.

However, in the blink of an eye, astonishment surfaced in Fu You’s eyes.

“Late Foundation Building stage? How, how is this possible?”

Fu You shuddered all over, and the blood sword on his back, sensing its master’s emotions, began to buzz and quiver. It seemed as though it couldn’t resist the urge to fly up into the air, but after only a brief moment, it calmed down again.

Fu You stared deeply at Han Yi, his eyes filled with shock, doubt, and an unabated sense of killing intent, as he then turned away, no longer paying attention to Han Yi.

He too had received Spiritual Jade two years ago and, with its help, had advanced to the mid-stage Foundation establishment stage. However, two years had passed, and now he discovered that Han Yi had already ascended to the late-stage Foundation establishment stage.

This terrifying rate of advancement appalled Fu You, and he shifted his gaze away, already harboring the intent to kill. He was even willing to ask for help from his peak-stage Foundation establishment brothers in the sect to nip Han Yi in the bud.

At that distance, Han Yi withdrew his gaze as well.

Speaking of their relationship, it could not be called hatred; it was simply a competition over Immortal Affinity. Both events in the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm and the Treasured Jade Heaven were in Cave Heaven worlds, which were all about competing for Immortal Affinity.

In the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm, Han Yi paid the price of sacrificing his dagger by detonating it to seize the Yujing Order, which represented his decisiveness and strength. In the Treasured Jade Heaven, he sent Fu You, who tried to strike Han Yi while he was trapped in a soul-battling situation, flying into the mountains, thus depriving him of the eligibility to compete for the large piece of Spiritual Jade, which also fell under the category of competition for Immortal Affinity. Fu You was simply not skillful enough and should accept his loss without harboring resentment.

However, this is only Han Yi’s wishful thinking; in Fu You’s heart, it was Han Yi who twice snatched away his chances for Immortal Affinity, making their feud unbearable to the point of no reconciliation.

Though Han Yi couldn’t see that hint of killing intent in Fu You’s eyes as he turned away, the trembling blood sword conveyed that murderous vibe quite strongly.

However, Han Yi didn’t care. In his eyes, Fu You was worth only one sword strike, just like Han Xuxiao back then.

As time passed, he would leave more and more cultivators of the same rank far behind.

Entering the courtyard that had been specially assigned to the Xuandan Sect cultivators by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Han Yi set up the Seven-Star Mysterious Origin Formation and began testing the combination of the two defensive spells.

With each of Han Yi’s tests, the fusion of the Wind Formation and Fire Mist became increasingly stable.

Three days later, the fused spell finally stabilized momentarily for three breaths before exploding again. By now, he had gained considerable experience, and with a light wave of his hand, he led the explosive shockwave into the ground, causing the courtyard to tremble slightly but leaving him unaffected.

Seven days later, the fused spell could last ten breaths, which greatly delighted Han Yi.

Ten breaths were enough to end battles against Foundation Establishment and even Golden Core Stage cultivators, making the spell a mature one.

However, Han Yi didn’t stop testing.

Ten days later, the fusion spell became thoroughly stable, and it remained as such for the duration of an entire tea session before Han Yi dispelled it.

With this, the spell had become Han Yi’s first new skill born from the combination of two skills at the “Returning to One’s True Nature” level.

Han Yi named the black shield-shaped result of this fusion skill the “Wind and Fire Shield.”

However, Han Yi’s Proficiency Panel showed no change. It only recorded his cultivation skills, not the Wind and Fire Shield, which was not formed by a specific spell but resulted from the fusion of two spells, so the proficiency levels remained unchanged.

“Next, I need to practice using the Wind Wall Skill and the Fire Shield Skill simultaneously during casting, and directly form the black-colored Wind and Fire Shield, instead of needing a slow fusion process,” Han Yi said to himself.

“This shouldn’t be difficult. It just requires some time, so I can form the habit of doing it instinctively.”

“There’s no rush. Just take it slow.”

Han Yi felt elated, becoming fascinated by the feeling of creating something.

Five days later, Han Yi packed up his formation and left the courtyard, following the guidance of the cultivators of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and headed towards Star River Square.

Star River Square was located at the foot of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, about just a kilometer away from it.

Every one hundred years, the unveiling ceremony for the True Person’s List, and every one thousand years, the Monarch’s List, were held at the Star River Square.

When Han Yi arrived at Star River Square, he saw that the entire square was surrounded by cultivators, with three layers of rows outside and three layers inside.

In the innermost part of the square, there were numerous seats arranged, including those for the Daqian official cultivators, the Two Sacred Lands, the Three Great Sects, Nascent Soul Sects, and some strong Golden Core Sects’ fixed seats.

Han Yi found the seat allocated to the Xuandan Sect and sat down.

This time, he was the only one representing the Xuandan Sect, since Qin Wuxian did not attend. Han Yi felt some pressure, but he was not flustered.

Surrounded by the noise and hustle, Han Yi simply closed his eyes.

A unit of time later, a cultivator descended from the top of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.

He was holding a golden stone tablet with one hand, and the surface of the tablet was completely blank, with no information revealed.

Han Yi opened his eyes to look, and at that moment, the descending cultivator spoke out loud, his voice magnificent and resounding.

“The Dao coincides with the Heavenly Mechanism, and the Immortal Road is but a distant struggle for return!”

“Ladies and gentlemen, the Heavenly Mechanism grand event begins now!”

“Let’s unveil the list!”
