The sun rose in the east.
Qin Tian, Shen Tianming, and Ling Miaoyi had collected all the Demon Wolves from the Gorge. After a night of travel, they finally returned to the Xuan Yang Sword Sect.
Qin Tian had gained quite a bit after slaying Brother Xu and seizing his Cosmic Bag.
Back in his small dwelling, Qin Tian opened the Cosmic Bag.
Inside were three hundred low-grade Spirit Stones, twenty-five Intermediate Spirit Stones, and a single martial arts manual. Other than that, there was nothing else.
Clearly, even after Brother Xu had roamed the Outer Sect for so many years, the treasures he could exchange for with Merit Points were still very few.
"Xuan Yang Sword Technique."
Qin Tian opened this only manual, feeling somewhat awkward.
This was because he had already obtained this technique earlier. After giving it to Shen Tianming, Qin Tian had returned to take Brother Xu's Cosmic Bag into his possession.
"This time, although I didn't gain much, I have collected the Demon Wolves needed to complete the mission. I must seize this opportunity to break through to a higher realm; otherwise, when they come looking for me, I will truly have no chance of winning."
Killing Brother Xu had also severely injured Su Murian. This debt would not be overlooked by Su Mu Yi and the forces behind him. Although this incident wouldn't lead them to confront him openly, they were certainly skilled at playing dirty behind the scenes.
Only strength could secure Qin Tian's position within the Xuan Yang Sword Sect.
Xuanwu Pavilion.
Qin Tian arrived alone to return the mission.
The many Outer Sect Disciples stationed at Xuanwu Pavilion looked at Qin Tian with some confusion.
"Wasn't this guy supposed to be at the Wolf Hunt? Why is he back so soon?"
"Who knows if he's just putting on a show!"
"The Wolf Hunt usually takes at least three days to complete, right? Has this kid really become that capable?"
Many were surprised; after all, the Wolf Hunt mission typically required three days to finish. Qin Tian had left only a day ago, making his quick return quite suspicious.
"I'm here to return the mission."
Qin Tian stood before the elder. The elder looked up, glancing at him with mild surprise.
"The mission has a validity period of seven days. The more you hunt, the greater the rewards. There's no need to rush in returning it."
The elder clearly thought that Qin Tian had just completed the minimum requirement and returned.
"I've already hunted enough. I can't bring back any more."
Qin Tian smiled shyly and took out the Cosmic Ring he received when he accepted the mission. Such rings were typically used for missions due to their vast storage capacity; however, they could not be claimed as personal property. Doing so would surely invite endless pursuit from the Xuan Yang Sword Sect.
"I'd like to see how many you have!"
The elder said, his gaze fixed intently on him.
This scene also attracted quite a few Outer Sect Disciples. In no time, dozens of people gathered around Qin Tian.
Bang!
He tossed the Cosmic Ring onto the table and stood with his arms crossed, calm and collected.
"How many did this kid actually catch? So arrogant?" someone sneered.
"Heh, every time this guy ends up as a joke. This time, I really want to see!"
Many people came over with the mindset of watching a spectacle.
"Once I open this Cosmic Ring, the task will be considered complete. If you want to take on this task again, you'll have to wait until next month. Are you sure?" the elder said, somewhat displeased.
"Sure."
Qin Tian shyly licked his lips.
"Good."
The elder casually opened the Cosmic Ring, and then a flash of light appeared as thirty pairs of Demon Wolf claws fell onto the table. Seeing this, many were slightly surprised.
In just one day, capturing thirty Demon Wolves met the minimum requirement for the task; this result was quite impressive.
However, the elder's expression remained unchanged as he prepared to take back the Cosmic Ring. Unexpectedly, another flash of light occurred, and another thirty pairs of Demon Wolf claws crashed onto the table.
Everyone looked at the calm and collected Qin Tian with astonishment.
"This kid is impressive, isn't he? He killed sixty Demon Wolves in a single day. Not bad."
"Pretty good."
Many people nodded in agreement.
However, the next scene left everyone present in shock.
After the sixty pairs of Demon Wolf claws fell, the Cosmic Ring seemed to show no signs of stopping. Waves of Light flickered as one pair of wolf claws after another fell like a rainstorm.
In an instant, the entire table was piled high.
But it wasn't over yet!
It seemed that the Cosmic Ring was filled with wolf claws.
Seventy pairs.
Eighty pairs.
One hundred sixty pairs.
Three hundred ten pairs.
Four hundred thirty-two pairs.
Then, the Xuanwu Pavilion became lively, attracting at least a few hundred people this time.
What is going on here?
"How many pairs is this, exactly?" Some newcomers were shocked by the scene before them. The wolf claws piled on the ground completely buried the entire Elder Seat.
"Look, there's more..." Someone with sharp eyes noticed that there seemed to be more wolf claws inside the Cosmic Ring.
"Oh my! Did he go and slaughter the Wolf Den? These pairs of wolf claws are clearly from adult wolves; not a single one belongs to a cub."
The sight before them left everyone present in awe. Those with weaker cultivation felt cold sweat trickling down their backs. Countless heated gazes fell upon Qin Tian.
Did this guy just wipe out all the wolves on the mountain?
It wasn't until there was no more space for the elders that one of them finally couldn't sit still any longer.
With a wave of his hand, he opened the Cosmic Ring, and in an instant, all the wolf claws vanished from sight.
Then, his expression darkened as he solemnly opened the Cosmic Ring again. This time, he didn't take out the wolf claws but instead probed inside with his divine sense.
After a while, he slowly spoke, "A total of one thousand two hundred thirty-one wolf claws. Why is it an odd number?"
Odd number?
Countless Outer Sect Disciples looked at Qin Tian in terror.
Qin Tian was taken aback and then pulled out a bloody wolf claw from his pocket. "Cough cough, sorry, I forgot to put this one inside."
"One thousand two hundred thirty-two? That's six hundred sixteen pairs of wolf claws. Oh my!"
"This guy has definitely wiped out the Wolf Den."
"What a ruthless person, a madman!"
Many people present looked at Qin Tian with changing expressions. This fellow exuded a strong Killing Intent.
"Indeed." The elder placed the Cosmic Ring on the table and took out the ledger. "A total of six hundred sixteen wolf claws, all from Channeling Realm, Fourth Layer Demon Wolves. Each pair is worth fifty Merit Points, totaling thirty thousand and eight hundred Merit Points."
"Thirty thousand? I must have misheard!"
"All of them are Channeling Realm, Fourth Layer Demon Wolves? Wait, he’s only at the Threefold Realm of Meridian Opening!"
"This kid is too strange."
Countless Outer Sect Disciples who had gathered to watch were now shifting from astonishment to shock, then to fear, and finally to dread. Some with weaker cultivation even dared not look at Qin Tian anymore.
"Thank you, Elder."
Qin Tian bowed respectfully before turning to leave.
"This kid truly has the style I once had. He wiped out an entire wolf clan? How ruthless!"
The elder watched Qin Tian leave with a meaningful gaze, a proud smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
Even after Qin Tian departed, the Xuanwu Pavilion was still filled with voices of astonishment.
No one could believe that someone could slay six hundred sixteen Demon Wolves in a single day; it was nothing short of a miracle.
At noon, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
As the name suggests, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is where the Xuan Yang Sword Sect stores its magical treasures.
As long as one has Merit Points, they can exchange for any treasure suitable for their realm.
"With over thirty thousand points, I should be able to exchange for a useful magical artifact."
Qin Tian had never owned a magical artifact. Previously, Brother Xu had given him one, but after killing Brother Xu, he destroyed both that artifact and the one he had obtained to avoid raising suspicion.
"You can choose any artifact from the first floor. As long as your Merit Points are sufficient!"
The elder of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion said enthusiastically.
"Mm."
As Qin Tian stepped into the first floor of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, he was filled with excitement at the sight of the dazzling array of artifacts.
"Soul Snatching Dart, Channeling Realm, Fourth Layer artifact. Crafted from black gold, it can take a life within a hundred steps without notice. Twenty-five thousand Merit Points."
"You Long Spear, Channeling Realm, Fourth Layer artifact. Crafted from black gold, it strikes with a cold gleam first, followed by a spear that moves like a dragon. Twenty-five thousand Merit Points."
"Falling Star Sword, Meridian Realm Fifth Layer artifact. Made from meteorites from beyond the heavens, its sword radiance shines like stars and its edge is sure to injure. Fifty thousand Merit Points."
One magical artifact after another shone brightly before Qin Tian's eyes. He truly wanted to take them all. However, even with his powerful Double Pupil in his right eye, he could not "move" these treasures away.
"Such a pity!"
Qin Tian sighed deeply as he walked all the way to the end.
In the end, he chose a sword crafted from purple gold.
"Purple Lightning Sword. A Threefold Realm of Meridian Opening artifact, made of purple gold. When drawn, it resembles a flash of purple lightning, hence the name. Thirty thousand Merit Points."
Qin Tian excitedly swung it a few times; indeed, as described, the sword moved like lightning.
"Other Threefold Realm of Meridian Opening artifacts cost only twenty-five thousand Merit Points, but this one is thirty thousand. This shows it truly has its worth. I'll take it." Qin Tian happily exchanged his thirty thousand Merit Points for the Purple Lightning Sword.
Back in his small room, Qin Tian took out the sword and played with it lovingly.
He then began practicing the Xuan Yang Sword Technique. He had already comprehended the cultivation methods and key points to a great extent during his time in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. After much preparation, it was indeed time for him to break through.
Moreover, the crisis before him was imminent. If he could not successfully break through, he might lose all hope.
After completing a full cycle of cultivation with the Xuan Yang Sword Technique, Qin Tian had mastered it to a great extent.
Just one round was enough for him to reach great success; if this were to spread, it would surely shock the entire Xuan Yang Sword Sect.
Under the night sky, atop Outer Gate Mountain Region, Qin Tian's figure moved like a ghost, soaring up and down. The Purple Lightning Sword in his hand danced with waves of eerie purple lightning. The mastery of the sword technique no longer satisfied him; his goal was perfection.
As he danced with his sword, his realm and cultivation continued to transform.
In the darkness of night, a figure slowly emerged above a mountain range.
She gazed at Qin Tian's figure and smiled softly.
One month later.
In the early morning at the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, it seemed to be welcoming a new beginning. Countless Outer Sect Disciples rushed towards the mountain gate, creating a fervor throughout the entire Xuan Yang Sword Sect.
The annual Outer Sect Grand Competition had finally begun.
Numerous Outer Sect Disciples competed for ten spots in the Inner Sect. Each competition was extremely brutal, yet it still attracted countless spectators. Even other Celestial Gates sent representatives to watch.
The grandest ceremony of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect had finally commenced!
Inside a small room, Qin Tian opened his eyes, which were as dark as night, after a desperate roar.
His right eye revealed the Double Pupil, and a clear voice emerged from his lips.
"Has it finally begun?"
