Chapter 144: The News of Xuan Island

  Pin Lan was shocked and looked at Yi Lao, thinking that if it weren't for the annual record of Wu Jun Wang, it would be extremely difficult to break through the sky, and there might not even be any hope.

  And yet, this old man, who is said to possess heavenly nine-tier strength, can actually research so thoroughly. Doesn't that mean...?

  "I can study the essence of the invincible fighting technique, but I have no way to solve the huge defect inside. For nearly twenty years, I've been studying this. Now you should also think that I was actually asked by His Majesty to do this thing, and you're clear that if we can solve the defect, it will definitely trigger a huge storm! Our Qinglong country's strongmen will surely emerge like bamboo shoots after rain, and in the academy, there are many talented young men who can cultivate this fighting technique. If they all can master it, I can guarantee that within a few years, we'll have the power to directly confront those mysterious families from the divine realm."

  Yi Lao said this when his eyes, which were as still as an ancient well, showed a few degrees of madness, and then dimmed: "Unfortunately, after all these years, I have not been able to solve this problem. And you also saw Xiao Ning's attitude towards me, because she does not agree with my methods, thinking that I am harming people. Until now, she is still unwilling to forgive me. Alas, Xiao Ning's mother died very early, and in all these years, she has almost been living alone. I owe a lot to this mother-daughter pair.

  Qin Li nodded silently, indeed, as a daughter, she had never received paternal love since childhood, and her respected father was still carrying a defective secret book to deceive people everywhere, even if it were him, he probably wouldn't let go easily.

  He leaned back in his chair, this time completely unable to see that he was a top-notch powerhouse who had only one step away from stepping into the Broken Sky Realm, and could only feel his exhaustion and helplessness.

  "I had given up all hope, thinking that this technique was something from ancient times that could only be used to harm people. I had already prepared myself to retreat and pursue my own dreams. Although I still have a long lifespan, in reality, my time is limited, and if I couldn't break through to the Heavenly level, I might as well wait for death. Old Man Yi looked up at Qin Li: "But unexpectedly, at this moment, I met someone who has successfully cultivated the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Unrivaled Battle Technique. Young man, can you understand how excited I am?"

  Qin nodded: "I can understand, but, Yi Lao, I can tell you very clearly that 'Only I Am Supreme' is not a battle technique that can be popularized. Although I'm also not quite clear why I can cultivate it without any issues, I can say with certainty that this technique... probably even if you searched the entire Tianyuan Continent, you might not find another cultivator! Otherwise, it wouldn't be called 'Only I Am Supreme'."

  Yi let out a sigh, nodded, and said: "Yes, I've given up. Young man, you don't have to suspect that I'll do anything unfavorable to you. Rest assured, before you fully grow up, I will continue to protect you with all my might! I absolutely won't expose your identity. I just want to see what kind of realm the martial arts I've studied for over 20 years can reach! I believe you won't refuse my kindness, right?"

  He said with a smile of satisfaction on his wrinkled old face, "Besides, it can also be said that I led you onto this path"

  "You old cheat." Qin Li said with a smirk. "Haha, I like you, little guy!" Little Yi said, handing over the original edition of the Supreme Fighting Technique on the table to Qin Li: "Take it, there are also some of my insights and notes on it, hope it can help you."

  Qin Li's heart felt a faint sense of emotion, and he immediately smiled and said: "Speak up, Old Yi. You're so good to me, it can't be just that you want to see my Nine Heavens Ten Earths Unrivaled Battle Skill reach a certain level. What else do you want me to help you with? Just say it directly."

  Yi Lao chuckled bitterly and shook his head: "Little guy, can't you be less direct? At least leave some face for this old man!"

  Qin Li said with a bad temper: "You have deceived so many people, and let so many warriors die in vain, do you still care about this little face?"

  He shook his head and said lightly, "That's what they wanted! Kid, I'm telling you, all these years, the only one who doesn't know the harm of the Unique Supreme Battle Technique that has been passed down through my hands is you! And didn't Ah Hu tell you too? What was the result? You still cultivated it, didn't you? Hmph, at first, when I taught this technique to others, I would remind them, but they just wouldn't care. Yeah, they just wouldn't care! I'd tell them that cultivating this thing is very dangerous, but if successful, the gains are also enormous!"

  "This is clearly an inducement"

  Yi Lao smiled: "Well, but human nature is greedy."

  Qin Li could only nod silently, because what Yilao said was absolutely right. Those people knew it was a divine-level martial skill and were eager to practice it. Only those who had really gone through the trials of life would regret it in vain. Unfortunately, it's already too late.

  Thinking of this, Qin Li couldn't help but feel a little proud, because the only person who had cultivated the "Only I Am Supreme" battle technique and didn't die after Nirvana was born in his own hands!

  However, Qin Li would never say this, otherwise, Old Master Yi might make some other demands.

  At this time, Yī Lǎo stood up and said: Youngster, accompany this old man for a walk. Perhaps, in a few days, I will completely shut myself off.

  Two people walked in the fresh air of the forest, Yilao said softly: "Many of these trees were planted by me personally back then, and after so many years have passed, they have all grown up."

  He said, turning his head to look at Qin Li, "I do have a small request. I'm about to start my closed-door meditation and Xiao Ning is my only daughter. Although she doesn't like me, I know she still cares about me. Her personality is cold and distant, she has few friends, and she's quite stubborn, so I'm afraid she'll be taken advantage of. If I entrust her to someone else, not only will she be unwilling, but I also won't feel at ease."

  "Why are you so sure of me?"

  "Don't be arrogant, you little rascal has a small handle in my hand!" Yī Lǎo chuckled: "To be honest, I think your future is infinitely bright, and it's a good omen to make friends with you. You see Ah Hu and the others, they've all received great promotions, each person has their own secrets, which I won't ask about. But I just want to ask you, as a father, if you have the chance, please help my daughter once, okay?"

  Facing such a request from Yilao, Qin Li also couldn't bear to refuse, besides, helping Yijing out wouldn't be inappropriate either.

  Qin Li nodded, and Old Yi's face showed a grateful smile.

  Qin Li asked: "Why don't you go tell your daughter these things yourself? I believe that if you open up to her, she will forgive you."

  Yi Lao shook his head: "That girl's temper is very stubborn, whatever I say, she won't believe it. Just like you think I'm an old cheat, she thinks so too."

  Qin Li rubbed his nose, looking a bit embarrassed and smiled without saying a word. "Right, since you're that little guy from Huangsha City, then you should know about Xuan Island, shouldn't you? I heard your fiancée was taken there." Yī Lǎo suddenly asked.

  "Right, does Lao know about Xuan Island?" Qin Li asked back.

  Yi Lao sighed softly and stopped in front of a large tree, gently stroking the rough trunk with his hand. "That group of young people that day were actually from Xuan Island!"

  "What?"

  Qin Li was shocked, never expecting that Xia Houfeng would be a person from Xuan Island. What a coincidence! He might really see that arrogant but still somewhat decent guy again in the future.

  So-called mysterious places are often some ancient families and sects that have been passed down since the ancient times, mastering some spatial secrets, hiding their families and sects, if you don't get the key, you might not be able to find the entrance for a lifetime.

  "Didn't think so, haha, it's precisely because of this that Your Majesty doesn't dare to offend them. You should know, the power of Xuan Island is really too strong." Yi Lao sighed and said: "On the Tianyuan Continent, there are countless mysterious places, but Xuan Island has always been a very famous place. It seems to be very large, with many ancient families and sects existing there. Moreover, the young masters of Xuan Island are also the ones who come out to travel in the mortal world the most, leaving behind not a few stories."

  Yi Lao spoke indifferently, but Qin Li listened with some embarrassment, because he was also one of the stories left behind by Xuan Island.

  "How did you know they were from Xuan Island?"

  "That day, when I was accompanying Dusty Old, one of them accidentally mentioned that recently, a stunningly beautiful woman had appeared on Mystic Island, and that the woman was from the Azure Dragon Country. As it happens, this old man, while in Yellow Sand City, happened to learn some things about the Shangguan family."

  Yi Lao said up to here, with a profound meaning, looked at Qin Li and smiled: "You say, they are not from Xuan Island, where did they come from?"

  "Is the woman they're talking about Shi Yu?" As soon as he mentioned this name, a wave of thoughts surged up in Qin Li's mind. Like a tidal wave, it rushed to his heart. Today's most exciting news was probably this message. He unexpectedly heard some information about Shi Yu and knew she was doing well, so Qin Li felt relieved.

  As for Xiahou Feng coming out of Xuan Island, what can be done about it?

  Qin Li's mouth corners rose, a cold sneer spreading across his face. Don't mention the heavens, even if I were to encounter someone from the Broken Heavens Realm, I'd dare to fight him! What's with all this genius this and that genius? My favorite thing to do is to ruthlessly trample you bunch of geniuses!
