Chapter 14 The Secrets of the Qi Clan
Lu Xing landed on the ground and found a position where the pressure of his will was relatively extreme. He sat cross-legged and used his will to fight against the pressure emanating from the stone pillar, compressing the distance step by step to find his own limit.
"If only I had a clone technique, but unfortunately, unless I possess a special life form again, I'm probably destined to never have one!" Lu Xing couldn't help but lament.
This is not just talk. Now that he is at the sixth level of the Realm Lord, even if he were to possess another body, he would need a special life form at the Realm Lord level. At this level, he must have used the clone technique before. If he uses multiple methods at once, he might not be able to defeat the enemy. Even if he could defeat the enemy, the chance of him possessing another body would be nine out of ten.
Stop thinking, and a wisp of consciousness enters the virtual universe.
The tempering of his will did not hinder his practice of swordsmanship, which is one of the advantages of the virtual universe.
In the killing field
"Please select your opponent." The intelligent system's voice echoed through the space.
"Sixth-tier Realm Lord - Yan Tian".
After saying that, a set of standard battle armor and weapons began to appear on his body, since his purpose was to cultivate swordsmanship.
Although he was able to use the "Flaming Heaven Blade", he had not fully comprehended its many mysteries, and the Flaming Heaven Realm Lord was the creator of the secret technique.
After a series of electronic sounds, a man half a meter taller than Lu Xing appeared in the distance. In less than half a second, Yan Tian, wielding a long sword, attacked him.
"bring it on!"
Lu Xing also revealed a trace of fighting spirit, which transformed into a stream of light and collided with it.
Meanwhile, in the very core of the Rift Abyss Zone, where the abyssal winds rage constantly, this place can be considered a forbidden zone for newly ascended World Lords.
Yet, in this very forbidden place lives the last remaining Qi clan of the Shadow Realm.
"Peak of the ninth rank of Realm Lord! Finally, a breakthrough!"
The Qi clansman lying in the ten-meter-long cabin suddenly opened his eyes. The cabin door opened, and he flew out into the air. Terrifyingly, his aura instantly swept through the entire void.
Hahahaha.
An old man flew over. Although he was also a realm lord, the aura of old age on his body was very obvious. "Zagu, you are indeed the genius of my Qi clan, second only to Qi Zu. Whether my clan can see the light of day again depends on you."
"Yes!" Zagu nodded heavily. "There are still eight thousand years until the next inspection of the Shadow Tower. I will definitely be able to comprehend the Law of Fire and become an immortal powerhouse before then."
Every 20,000 years, the Shadow Tower conducts a purge of the Qi Clan's high-ranking members. Almost all those who reach the eighth or ninth level of the Realm Lord are killed, with only a few remaining in hiding. Those below the Realm Lord level are left unattended.
Why not kill them all at once?
Just kidding. The Qi clan is a powerful race, after all. Who knows if they have any trump cards to wipe them out? If they launch a counterattack in their dying moments, it will be a loss for the Shadow Tower.
The main reason the Qi Clan couldn't make a splash in the Shadow Realm was because they lacked immortal gods.
"No." The old man shook his head. "Becoming an immortal is not enough. It's not that no one in our clan has ever broken through to immortality, but that time we were attacked by two immortals from the Shadow Tower, and our clan had no choice but to shrink our territory again."
Zagu's expression turned serious. Although he was a genius of the Qi clan, he still lacked confidence in facing the siege of two immortal gods who had lived for an unknown amount of time.
"Then what should I do? Should I suppress my breakthrough for now?" Zagu asked. He had already broken through to the ninth level of the Realm Lord, and he would surely die if he were exposed.
The old man shook his head and gestured for Zagu to follow him. The two arrived at the entrance of a secluded cave. The old man squeezed out a drop of blood and dripped it onto a stone pillar nearby, thus breaking the secret spell.
Upon entering, one finds written records everywhere. Because technological records are easily destroyed, the Qi people have no choice but to use this most primitive method to pass on information.
"Our Qi clan is not a creature originally from this secret realm. Our ancestors discovered nine stone pillars in this rift. Each of these nine stone pillars possesses extremely strong power. It is because of these stone pillars that our clan has provoked an unparalleled being," the old man explained to the text on the wall.
Zagu nodded slightly. This was his first time here, and normally he wasn't qualified to enter. Then, he asked blankly, "How does this relate to the upcoming crisis? Wasn't the stone pillar taken away by that being?"
"That's what I thought at first too." A smile began to appear on the old man's face. "But in one of my accidents, I discovered a stone pillar that was exactly the same as the one in the records. Perhaps even the universe couldn't bear to see the plight of my Qi clan."
Upon hearing this, Zagu's face showed surprise. The nine stone pillars were the faith of every Qi clan member. He then exclaimed excitedly, "Doesn't that mean our Qi clan has hope of returning to its former glory!"
The old man shook his head and continued, "It's been too long since that time, and most of the records about the stone pillars have been lost during the migrations. It's difficult to make perfect use of the stone pillars."
Although the legend of the stone pillar is well known to every Qi ethnic group member, they only know about the great deeds and have no idea how the stone pillar was actually used.
"But one thing is certain: the stone pillar is no ordinary treasure. It is enough to allow our clan to contend with the Shadow Tower. As long as our clan can preserve an immortal being, there is hope of returning to its peak." The old man stretched his hands above his head and said excitedly.
Zagu's face also showed a hint of excitement. He had been instilled with the ideology of his tribe since childhood and had dedicated his life to the tribe. How could he not be excited now that he heard about the hope for the tribe's strength?
He then asked, "Where is that stone pillar now?"
"It's located on the edge of the Rift Zone. After all, it would be difficult to avoid being discovered by the Shadow Tower if it were brought back to the clan. Staying put is the best option. Those world lords who are still training are not capable of discovering the value of the stone pillar." The old man's expression returned to normal, and he said calmly.
"And I will inspect it every hundred years to protect the stone pillar from being discovered by outsiders as much as possible."
"Consolidate your cultivation level first, then come with me to bring it back. My clan has been hiding for long enough!"
"Yes!" Zagu's expression darkened as he began to familiarize himself with his peak Realm Lord strength.
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that a core reaction at the Rift Abyss caused the surface of the stone pillars to shatter due to immense energy, and this had absolutely no connection to the nine stone pillars themselves.

Hollow stone pillars...
"drop!"
The detector sounded an alarm, and Lu Xing suddenly opened his eyes. "One is at the ninth level, and the other at the eighth level. Judging from the looks of it, they're coming straight for me."
"Have you also noticed anything unusual about this place? Or is there another reason?"
He left through the passage and then hid nearly a thousand kilometers away, a distance from which his detector could fully detect everything inside.
Of course, it doesn't matter if they find him. He knows what's inside anyway, and the worst that could happen is that they'll just take it by force, which he's not afraid of at all.
