Qingyi’s eyes lit up when he saw that woman’s stats, especially her low-level wind spiritual roots.
On the Blue Moon Continent, the standard for spiritual roots generally ranged from level 1 to level 9, defining trash and absolute geniuses.
But there was an additional classification after the 9th level spiritual roots, which were the low, medium, and high level spiritual roots, extremely rare even in the Nine Peaks Basin.
This woman’s spiritual root was only slightly below that of Tang Biyue, and even without a bloodline like the poisonous beauty, she would still be a great talent in the Nine Peaks Basin.
Qingyi shifted his gaze from her information to her figure, wondering what was hidden beneath those robes.
Unfortunately, he soon had to push that thought out of his mind.
A long, grave noise echoed and the black gates shook, their thunderous patterns glowing in a deep purple.
Everyone took a step back as a powerful lightning Qi spread across the corners of the gate, some weaker cultivators even suffering injuries as they tried to resist that Qi.
With a crash, the gates slowly opened, revealing a long layer of thunderous clouds.
Young Master Shen, the covered figure, and his dozens of guards were the first to enter, followed by the Foundation Realm cultivators.
"Let’s go." Qingyi quickened his pace, following the Foundation Realm cultivators.
"Y-young master Qingyi... isn’t this-" Laosan’s voice was interrupted by the powerful auras of the foundation realm experts, trying to ensure that no one passed them.
He felt his lungs grow heavy as his entire group struggled to breathe, but soon Qingyi spread his own aura, unrestrained, completely erasing the aura of everyone else.
Many impressed sighs echoed among the thousands of cultivators, and even the iron body realm expert’s gaze briefly fell on Qingyi.
Such a powerful aura in someone so young was a rare sight.
Qingyi ignored all these gazes, passing to the front of the line, and after a moment of hesitation, took a step into the layer of thunderous clouds.
The space around him seemed to distort for a brief moment, and when he realized it, he was on a large floating platform.
In front of him was a strange forest, its trunks were a deep purple and its leaves were blue, even the ground was unusual, covered with mushrooms that glowed faintly.
"Such rich lightning Qi..." Qingyi took a deep breath. There was almost no pure Qi in the entire region, only lightning Qi.
This place was truly a paradise for lightning cultivators.
The group of blue-winged mercenaries appeared right behind him, feeling a little strange that they were able to pass the experts in the foundation realm.
They were usually the last to enter, their eyes trembling as the many foundation realm cultivators passed them by, their footsteps soon turning into a run, those with movement techniques taking the lead.
"Why are they in such a hurry?" Qingyi asked.
"They are heading for the gates that lead to the second floor. Each gate opens once every 24 hours and allows twenty people to enter at a time. High-level cultivators can’t get much useful stuff on the first floor, so they try to get upstairs as quickly as possible." Laosan scratched the back of his neck as he looked around the platform.
"But we don’t need to worry too much about that. The first gate openings have a guardian powerful enough that it takes dozens of Foundation Realm cultivators to kill it, and even after killing it, it’s still necessary to hold the gate for an hour until it opens completely.
We just need to wait for three days and the path will be practically clear for us to ascend. In the meantime, we can—"
"The marks on that map were the locations of the gates, right?" Qingyi interrupted Laosan, who paused for a brief moment before nodding.
"Great, meet me at the fourth gate." Qingyi announced as he activated his lightning steps.
"Wait!" Laosan tried to stop him, but it didn’t take long for Qingyi’s back to disappear completely on the horizon.
Was Qingyi really crazy enough to face the guardian alone?
Laosan was already on the verge of a headache, but soon sighed heavily.
Well, if Qingyi died, it would probably be for the best, since they had already been paid.
"Should we follow him?" Mei asked worriedly, looking at her other companions, she saw the exact same look.
No one there wanted to die by getting caught in a crossfire between the foundation realm experts.
Still, Laosan nodded: "Yes, but let’s just watch from afar."
He was almost certain that Qingyi would die, but what if he didn’t? He didn’t have the courage to offend a foundation realm cultivator like that.
Unaware of his guides’ thoughts, Qingyi quickly passed by all the other foundation realm experts. On the horizon, he immediately saw a black platform, and in its center was a single powerful beast.
"Giant lightning fox..." Qingyi muttered, observing the dark blue fur and pair of horns on top of the creature’s head, which was over three meters tall.
Being in the eighth stage of the foundation realm, it was a powerful beast, powerful enough that even several cultivators in the ninth stage of the foundation realm would have trouble dealing with it.
But Qingyi didn’t even think about that. The creature’s eyes suddenly opened, a beastly roar escaping from its mouth as it stood up, staring at Qingyi.
"Ready to die?" Qingyi smiled as he jumped as high as he could, his sword glowing with lightning sword Qi as he used the first form of the storm monarch’s sword art.
The beast immediately sensed the danger of that attack, covering its body with defensive Qi, but it wasn’t enough, holding Qingyi’s sword for a brief moment before finally giving way.
Blood splattered on Qingyi’s face as his blade sank into one of the Giant fox’s shoulders, causing a painful roar.
