Qin Yun could sense that the white flame in his palm was not hot. However, it was following his will, causing the flames to fluctuate between cold and hot. It was indeed very miraculous.
âGrandpa Duan, how did you know?â Qin Yun asked.
âIâve heard that when the Fire Martial Spirit is strong enough, not only does it consume inner strength, it also requires mental strength!â
âObviously, your Fire Martial Spirit is of that level, so even if youâre asleep, your spirit power will awaken you and release your flame. But it hasnât fully formed yet, so youâll need to work hard.â Duan Gan said.
Qin Yunâs fire martial soul had not been destroyed by the meteor fire. Instead, it had grown stronger because of it. It had only not materialized. It did not die out completely like Master Wei and company had hoped for.
âMaster Wei and the rest are going to be disappointed!â Qin Yun said with a smile.
âThis is also a good thing!â The talent that you displayed now is too dazzling, making many jealous people want to destroy you, not to mention the empress and the others. âNow that they think your martial spirit has died, they will be more at ease. They will be less suspicious of you.â
Duan Qian wiped off his sweat, downed a cup of tea, and solemnly said, âBut donât let your guard down just because of this. The empress and her people are always thinking of destroying you!â
Qin Yun nodded. Previously, when he came to the Hua Ling Wu Academy, he had encountered the assassination of a martial artist at the 9th level of the Martial Body realm.
âWhat a false alarm!â Duan Qian laughed.
âI also thought I was finished. Fortunately, I didnât. Otherwise, all my years of hard work would have been in vain.â Qin Yun said with a smile, âNext up, I can go to the Three Profound Academy with a peace of mind.â
In fact, even if he didnât have a Flame Martial Spirit, he could still make a huge leap with his Oscillating Martial Spirit.
âIt is too late now. I will bring you to the Three Mysterious Academy tomorrow.â Duan Gan said, âGo and rest!â
... ....
Although it was late at night, many spies and messengers were busy. They were passing on the news of Qin Yunâs Violet Gold Fire Martial Spirit dying.
In the palace.
The Queen said with a hearty laugh, âQin Yun is insatiable and greedy. He is not satisfied with the strength of the purple gold fire martial spirit. Forcefully fusing with it caused the purple gold fire martial spirit to die out. This is the will of the heavens. Hahaha ...â
âEsteemed Empress, Iâve just received news that the crown prince has been accepted as a personal disciple by an elder of Blue Spirit Star Palace.â A eunuch ran in, his face filled with joy as he reported.
This made the empress laugh even more happily!
... ....
Early in the morning, Qin Yun and Duan Gan left the Hall of Wonders in a horse carriage.
Although it was still early in the morning, he could still hear people talking about his martial spirit on the way out of the city.
The news of Qin Zheng Feng being taken in as a disciple by an elder of the Blue Spirit Star Palace had also reached his ears.
âQin Zhengfeng really did join the Blue Spirit Nangong.â Duan Gan replied, âNangong and the Heavenly Qin Imperial Family are very close.â
Qin Yun said, âIf the Blue Spirit Nangong and the Queen build a good relationship, it would be equivalent to roping in the Heavenly Qin Empire. In the future, they will definitely do something shady. â
Duan Qian sneered, âOf course. The reason why this defeated dog from the Blue Spirit Star Palace has declined is because they themselves are too arrogant, right? Now that they are at the edge of the martial path, they will definitely become even more arrogant. â
Qin Yun noticed that Duan Qian had a lot of knowledge about Blue Spirit Star Palace and asked curiously, âGrandpa Duan, it seems like the Mysterious Pattern Palace isnât afraid of the Blue Spirit Star Palace! I can be considered an Inscription Master of the Mysterious Marks Palace. Can you tell me a bit about the matters of the Mysterious Marks Palace? â
Duan Qian laughed. âYou being able to pass the trial in the Hall of Inscriptions is only proof that you are a Inscription Master and not someone from our Inscription Hall! I canât tell you too much about the Hall of Marvels. I can only tell you that the Hall of Marvels is a huge place in the Martial Wasteland, not something that a small sect like Blue Spirit Star Palace can compare to. â
The Hall of Marks was actually built by someone from the Martial Desolate Land. This made Qin Yun very surprised.
Duan Qian continued, âWhen our Mysterious Pattern Palace was building the Martial Arts Academy with those other people, we were in charge of some matters regarding the Profound Grade Martial Academy.â
Qin Yun nodded and asked, âThen is Blue Spirit Star Palace really that unbearable? Many people will go to Blue Spirit Star Palace in the end! â
Duan Qian sighed, âThe Blue Spirit Star Palace was actually quite good ... Right now, only the East Palace is still considered decent. If you want to go, then go to the East Palace! Itâs said that the people from the Eastern Palace are in charge of the Star Black Martial School. It would be best if you go to the Star Black Martial School. â
It wasnât the first time that Qin Yun had been suggested to go to the Star Martial Arts Academy. Earlier, Yang Shiyue and Xiao Yuelan had both advised him to go to the Star Martial Arts Academy.
After the horse carriage left the city, it drove very fast. It arrived next to the Cloud Dragon River and sped along the Cloud Dragon River.
One end of the Cloud Dragon River allowed one to enter the Cloud Dragon Mountain Range.
After the carriage sped on for two days, it was already out of the borders of the Heavenly Qin Nation.
âThe Cloud Dragon Mountain Range is really large. It is connected to several empires.â Qin Yun sighed as he looked out the window.
âThatâs right. After all, this is a natural barrier that separates our small area.â Duan Gan said, âOnly by stepping into the Martial Dao Realm can you pass through the Cloud Dragon Mountain Range. Generally, those who have stepped into the Martial Dao Realm will try it out, so there are not many Martial Dao Realm cultivators here. â
Qin Yun thought of his great grandfather who was currently exploring the Cloud Dragon Mountain Range.
Duan Gan said, âThe Three Mysterious Academy is within the Cloud Dragon Mountain Range. They are all martial artists at the sixth level of the Martial Body. If they canât step into the seventh level even at the age of twenty-five, or if they are not chosen by the Profound Rank Martial Academy, they will have to leave the Three Mysterious Academy.â
âCould it be that there are many people who are unable to pass the examination?â Qin Yun asked, âDidnât quite a few people pass the test in the previous Society of Excellence?â
Duan Gan said, âThe Congregation of Heroes is only one of the many examinations that lead to the Profound Grade Martial Arts Academy. Everyone will only have one chance to participate in the Conclave of Heroes.â If you fail the first time around, you will have to pass other examinations. â
âHowever, after the appearance of Blue Spirit Star Palace, the Conclave of Heroes was cancelled because the content of the main Conclaveâs examination was too simple.â
âThose fellows from the Blue Spirit Star Palace, what theyâre doing, isnât it just to get more students to rely on them?â Qin Yun said coldly.
The carriage entered the Cloud Dragon Mountain Range and arrived at a large mountain. Duan Qian alighted from the carriage and brought Qin Yun through the air.
âThis is the last part of the journey.â Duan Gan said, âThere are quite a few dangers here. Normally, no one would dare to come near here.â
They ran for over an hour in the air before arriving at the foot of a huge mountain. There was a huge cave entrance here, and the door was tightly shut.
Duan Qian used a golden key to open the door and an old man in white walked out.
