"Successfully promoted to the 9th rank of Swordsmen and laid the foundation for the next impact on the Great Swordsman realm, my mission this time in the Daybreak Mountains is accomplished... Unfortunately, luring the ferocious beast into the Moonlight's attack range within 10 kilometers is too dangerous... Otherwise, if I were to do such things a few more times, wouldn't my cultivation rise rapidly? And with enough 10th rank ferocious beast inner elixirs, the overall strength of the Yunlei Sword Sect would also rapidly increase."

  Qin Tianyi muttered to himself.

  He can now keep his life in front of a level 10 fierce beast, which means he can attract a level 10 fierce beast.

  Unfortunately, the inner elixir of the tenth-grade fierce beast did not seem to be of much help to him.

  As for the Lord-level ferocious beast?

  The Lord-level ferocious beasts with such defensive power, strength and vitality, the Metal Storm's lethality against them is limited. If it's not a Lord-level ferocious beast with defensive power, strength and vitality, its speed will inevitably be slow to nowhere. He dares to pull it, saying that before he can bring those Lord-level ferocious beasts into the attack range of the Moonlight, he may be killed by those powerful Lord-level ferocious beasts first.

  "Let's wait until this Lord-level fierce beast inner dan is fully refined, cultivate to Sword Master 9th level, and then use that quasi-Great Lord-level fierce beast inner dan to impact the Great Sword Master stage."

  No matter how good the treasure in your hand is, it's just a treasure. Only when you turn these treasures into your own strength can you make them valuable.

  "It's getting late, let's rest for a day and return to Yunlai Sword Sect after the injury is fully recovered!"

  Glancing at the setting sun, Qin Tianyi uttered a sound and began to meditate on the Moonlight Warship.

  After four months of maintenance and repair, the Moonlight has become much better than before. At least the entire battleship can now be completely sealed off, no longer with huge gaping holes in its hull that one could see from afar. If one were to cultivate at midnight on board, they would no longer have to worry about some ferocious beast climbing onto the ship.

  Planetary-class warships can navigate through space and adapt to spatial jumps, with the materials used having a solidity of over 100. Adding their thickness, even an ordinary Overlord-class beast would not be able to tear apart the hull of such a warship.

  Therefore, cultivating inside, Qin Tianyi was indeed free from worries.

  Time flies like an arrow in one evening.

  "Whoosh!"

  Qin Tianyi, who was in the midst of his cultivation, suddenly raised his hand, and a surge of true energy burst forth. A visible sword aura shot out from the tip of his finger-sword, striking the isolation wall of the warship three meters away with a loud clang.

  "As expected, even if it's not the Twenty-Three Sword Wind Clouds' power release method, just by unleashing true energy, one can form a sword aura to shoot and kill the opponent."

  Withdrawing his fingers, a faint smile appeared on Qin Tianyi's face.

  Shoot Sword Energy!

  That's the characteristic of a 9th-level swordsman.

  Although some eighth-level swordsmen can also stimulate the sword energy to hurt people with true energy, without exception, they all need to rely on special force methods.

  Like Vajra's subjugation at the Golden Gate, Yunlai Sword Sect's Wind and Cloud Twenty-Three Swords' thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth swords.

  Only a 9th-level swordsman can possess the ability to injure someone from a distance by stirring up their true energy.

  "Zhou Chong, back then was a 9th-level sword cultivator. At that time, in my eyes, he was incredibly powerful and unbeatable. If Zhou Chong hadn't died, with my current cultivation level, I might be slightly inferior to him in terms of true energy confrontation and combat experience. However, relying on my 9th-stage spiritual ability, optimized Cloud Sea Tide Birth Technique, and Wind Cloud Twenty-Three Swords, even if I couldn't defeat him, I would absolutely not lose."

  Qin Tianyi had absolute confidence in his heart about this.

  In just five months, from a fourth-level swordsman to a ninth-level swordsman, almost advancing one level per month. If this speed were to spread, it would likely cause a sensation throughout the entire Wanxia County.

  Even if it were the original Qin Tianyi, who had cultivated to Swordsmen Eighth Level at the age of sixteen, he probably wouldn't have a hundred percent guarantee that he could advance to Swordsmen Ninth Level by the time he was nineteen.

  All the more...

  After the master-level fierce beast's inner dan in his body reached the peak of the 9th level of Sword Master, he could immediately use another inner dan to impact the Great Sword Master realm again. This speed was absolutely not comparable to that of "Qin Tianyi", who was once known as a genius.

  "Goodnight!"

  "Beep! Qin Tianyi's office, what instructions do you have?"

  "Display signal station construction situation."

  "The construction of the signal station is currently 89% complete and is expected to be completed in 21 days."

  "Alright! I need you to have remote strike capability, with an attack range of at least 300 kilometers. Provide a plan."

  "Ding! Plan one, repair B-9001 defense cannon, attack range 350 kilometers, estimated time 149 days. Plan two, complete signal tower in 21 days, establish small landing defense base within the signal coverage area (500 kilometers), base attack range 50 kilometers, estimated time 91 days. Plan three, collect resources and repair launchpad E-83, which can launch D-19 Dongfeng neutron missile, one missile remaining, attack range 10,000 kilometers, estimated time 37 days. Plan four..."

  "Dongfeng-41 missile?"

  Qin Tianji's heart moved slightly.

  It's a high-radiation missile, equivalent to a small tonnage hydrogen bomb. Its lethality is mainly aimed at biological targets. Once it hits the target, all living organisms within a radius of ten kilometers will be annihilated, and the affected area will reach thirty kilometers. If it falls on Yunlai Sword Sect, the entire Yunlai Sword Sect will be destroyed.

  Similarly, if a missile were to be launched to bomb the Xuanling Sect, all the strong practitioners of the Xuanling Sect would also be evaporated.

  "This missile..."

  Qin Tianyi slightly furrowed his brow.

  The problem with war weapons is that they can't accurately target.

  Although the Soo Yeon sect is despicable, he has never thought of annihilating all humans in the Soo Yeon sect.

  "Unfortunately, the gravity of this star is too great, and it's impossible to launch satellites, let alone space-based weapons. If there were armed satellites that could make precise independent strikes..."

  Shaking his head, Qin Tianyi dispelled this unrealistic idea from his mind.

  After a moment's consideration, he had made up his mind: "On the premise of not affecting the signal tower repair task, repair the B-9001 defense cannon!"

  "Beep! Command confirmed."

  "Also..."

  Qin Tianyi spoke again...

  But just as he was about to give the order, he hesitated.

  But this hesitation only lasted for a moment: "Raise the alert level, all biological organisms within five kilometers of the Moonlight warship will be annihilated."

  This Moonlight warship is one of his trump cards, and he must ensure its independence.

  Although he didn't know how long this would keep the battleship safe...

  "Beep! Command confirmed!"

  "Let it be."

  Qin Tianyi said, looking at the main control room.

  Only God knows how much longer it will take for this warship to be restarted.

  A clever woman cannot cook without rice.

  The current Moonlight Warship requires a long waiting time for anything, and the root cause is that resource collection is too slow.

  As for this, Qin Tianyi cannot be too greedy either.

  "Return to the sect! This time, even if the Golden Gate really doesn't know good from bad and wants to lay hands on our Yunlai Sword Sect, I will make them pay a heavy price."

  As they spoke, Qin Tianyi didn't stay in the Moonlight for long either. He sprang into action and left the Moonlight, heading straight towards the Yunlai Sword Sect.

  Although the three hundred kilometers of the Setting Sun Mountains still pose a threat, with Qin Tianyi's cultivation improving, these ferocious beasts are becoming less and less threatening to him. If his cultivation can advance two more steps and enter the Sword Master realm, it may not be difficult for this area to become his private backyard.

  "Whoosh!"

  Qin Tianyi's figure darted swiftly through the forest, like a streak of light. As he accelerated to his maximum speed, he also mobilized his true energy to dodge and weave, avoiding the trees and complex terrain that suddenly appeared before his eyes. In this way, he quickly became familiar with the newly broken-through realm of the Sword Master.

  "Hmm!?"

  Just as Qin Tianyi had driven 70 or 80 kilometers, a faint smell of blood suddenly caught his attention.

  He slightly shifted his body and suddenly found himself standing beside a large tree.

  Two corpses.

  "This attire doesn't seem like it belongs to a cultivator from Wanxia County."

  Qin Tianyi took a look and came to a conclusion.

  However, the Daye Mountain Range itself is the largest mountain range within the Great Xia Kingdom. This mountain range not only connects the three county cities within Qingzhou Wanxia County but also stretches across three states. At the end of the mountain range, it also borders the Great Yan Dynasty adjacent to the Great Xia.

  As for whether the Great Yan Dynasty can find the starting point of the Mountain Range of No Sunset, it is no longer something that Qin Tianji can know.

  After all, the farthest place he had been in his life was just Dashawangdu.

  Shaking his head, Qin Tianyi didn't plan on meddling in other people's business.

  Not having found the two corpses, Qin Tianyi continued on his journey.

  But apparently, some things are not something he can avoid just by wanting to avoid them.

  He had gone less than three kilometers when a shout came from one side, and soon after, three figures quickly approached. Faintly, the sound of someone shouting could be heard: "Right in front! Chase him quickly, he and the elder have fought to a stalemate, already at their last gasp. Catching him will be a great achievement!"

  "Haha, we've been wandering around this bird-shit-less forest for three whole days and nights, and finally, we found this beast. The deaths of the two junior brothers were worth it."

  "Be careful, this kid is a bit sinister. A few days ago, the sect's top masters surrounded and killed him, but not many of the executives were affected by his way!"

  As they spoke, the forest shook, and a moment later, a black-clad man in his late twenties, covered in blood, suddenly rushed out of the forest, with three pursuers vaguely visible behind him.

  "Hmm!?"

  The black-clad man saw Qin Tianyi suddenly appear before his eyes, and with a pale face due to excessive blood loss, the sword in his hand instantly killed him, transforming into a white streak that rushed straight at Qin Tianyi. The speed was so fast that it exceeded the reaction limit of any high-level swordsman.

  Even a ninth-level swordsman would be caught off guard and certainly killed by this one sword strike.

  However, Qin Tianyi's spiritual sense was extremely keen. The moment the black-clad man made his fatal blow, he had already sensed something amiss and his true energy surged forth as the Mountain River Sword suddenly intercepted the attack.

  Bang!

  Flames shooting in all directions.

  The black-clad man's fatal sword was blocked by Qin Tianyi with one move.

  "Hmph!"

  The man himself suffered heavy injuries, covered in blood, with one sword cut off, and was shocked by the true energy contained on the sword's edge, spitting out a mouthful of blood instantly.

  However, the black-clad man was extremely ferocious, forcibly suppressing his own injuries. With a single sword vibration, he shook open Qin Tianyi's sword edge and then this sword went straight to his heart with an unspeakable mysteriousness, swift as lightning.

  "Between us..."

  Qin Tianji was just about to open his mouth to explain, at the same time pinching his fingers into a sword, and was about to cut off this sword.

  At this moment, the black-clad man in front of him had a brilliant light in his eyes and growled: "Soul Shift!"

  "Hum!"

  Two words were spat out, yet seemed to contain endless magical power. Qin Tianji's mind was severely shaken, and he felt as if his own soul was about to be moved out by the other party in these two words.

  This attack method...

  "Spiritual Secret Technique!?"
