Chapter 118: The Seventh of the Sword Pavilion — Qin Yang!

【Zhuge Qing’s expression froze slightly.】

【He looked at you in surprise, not knowing how you had learned this information.】

【You told Zhuge Qing that many years ago, you had arranged for your external incarnation to train in the Central Continent. Now, your external incarnation had discovered something unusual in a secret realm in the Southern Region.】

【“The Southern Region?”】

【You nodded at Zhuge Qing.】

【Then Zhuge Qing followed you as you changed direction and headed for the Southern Region.】

【One month later!】

【You brought Zhuge Qing to the secret realm where your external incarnation was located.】

【After entering the secret realm, you discovered that this place was far smaller than the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.】

【What made you feel even more regretful was that after only a month, the spiritual energy in this secret realm had already begun to be corrupted.】

【The smaller the secret realm, the faster the corruption spread.】

【Before long, you and Zhuge Qing reached the depths of the secret realm and saw two figures.】

【One of them was your external incarnation. The other, seated cross-legged opposite it and wearing a black mask, was the person you had been searching for.】

【The moment you saw him, you immediately used the True Eye to examine his condition.】

【Although your external incarnation had already used the True Eye to confirm his identity, now that your main body had arrived, you still wanted to verify it personally.】

【Qin Yang: Human Race】

【Talent: Son of Destiny (Fallen)】

【Fallen: Tainted by a trace of the aura of the Progenitor of the Bizarre insects.】

【Note: Even the Heavenly Dao of this world has already been corrupted. How could the Son of Destiny born from Its power possibly remain untouched?】

【Talent: Sword Heart Clarity】

【Note: His sword heart is like an undying lamp transformed into crimson flames, constantly colliding with the Bizarre insect within his body. Every clash reforges his soul and deepens his comprehension of the sword.】

【Cultivation: Late Integration Realm!】

【Spiritual Roots: Top-Grade Fire Spiritual Root! Top-Grade Lightning Spiritual Root!】

【“Q-Qin Yang?”】

【Your eyes widened as you stared at the masked man before you in disbelief.】

【As soon as your words fell, both Zhuge Qing and the masked man turned to look at you at the same time.】

【“You know me?”】

【You narrowed your eyes slightly as you looked at the masked man before you, uncertain for a moment.】

【“Are you from the Sword Pavilion?”】

【The moment those words were spoken, you saw the masked man’s pupils contract slightly, though he quickly regained his composure.】

【Although that change had lasted only an instant, you still caught it.】

【Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, you continued.】

【“I’m also from the Sword Pavilion. From the sword aura on your body, I can tell that you are the Sword Pavilion’s seventh disciple — Qin Yang!”】

【Hearing this, the masked man let out a helpless laugh.】

【“There are plenty of people in the Canglan Realm who have achieved something in the Sword Dao. What makes you think I’m from the Sword Pavilion?”】

【Seeing that Qin Yang was still unwilling to admit it, you pointed at the mask on his face and said,】

【“Whether you are or not, all you have to do is take off the mask.”】

【As soon as those words fell, the entire secret realm sank into silence.】

【A long while later, Qin Yang threw his head back and laughed before slowly removing the mask.】

【The instant the mask came off, that familiar face appeared before your eyes.】

【It was exactly the same as the portrait Lin Tian had shown you when you first entered the Sword Pavilion.】

【“So it really is you! Qin Yang!”】

【A wicked smile appeared on Qin Yang’s face as he looked at you.】

【“I never would have thought it. After all these years, I’d still run into someone from the Sword Pavilion. I thought I’d never meet one again in this lifetime!”】

【Zhuge Qing watched your conversation with Qin Yang quietly from the side, with no intention of making a move for the time being.】

【He was curious to see what you would do next.】

【Back in the Sword Pavilion, you had once asked Lin Tian about the whereabouts of Seventh Senior Brother Qin Yang and Fourth Senior Sister Luo Yiyi.】

【But Lin Tian’s answer to you had been — he did not know!】

【Lin Tian had once told you that not long after Luo Yiyi and Qin Yang joined the Sword Pavilion, they left it, and after that, there had been no trace of them.】

【What you had never expected, however, was that the Son of Destiny you were searching for would actually be Qin Yang.】

【What shocked you even more was that Qin Yang’s cultivation had already reached Late Integration Realm!】

【That rate of cultivation could only be described as terrifying.】

【Back then, Lin Tian had told you that when Qin Yang left the Sword Pavilion, his cultivation had only been at the Foundation Establishment stage.】

【And this was also the first time you had truly felt the terrifying cultivation speed of a Son of Destiny.】

【You asked Qin Yang why he was doing this.】

【“Doing this?”】

【“You mean those corrupted secret realms?”】

【You nodded and looked at Qin Yang with a solemn expression. You had not expected that even knowing this would corrupt the spiritual energy, he would still continue without hesitation.】

【“By doing this, you are cutting off the future of the entire Human Race!”】

【The moment your words fell, you saw Qin Yang throw his head back and laugh once more!】

【“The future?”】

【“Do you think the Canglan Realm still has a future?”】

【“In this era, this is the Human Race’s only chance!”】

【“Rather than leaving that vague and illusory hope to future generations, I’d rather keep making myself stronger and become the one who saves the Canglan Realm!”】

【“Besides, I only ever go to small secret realms. I’ve never once gone to a place like Qingzhou’s Fallen Immortal Secret Realm!”】

【Hearing this, you looked at Qin Yang with some surprise.】

【You had not expected that someone as ruthless as Qin Yang would still have principles and a bottom line of his own.】

【You did not choose to continue arguing with Qin Yang over this issue. Instead, you told him about Lin Qi.】

【You told Qin Yang everything you knew — that the Heavenly Dao had been corrupted, and that the Sons of Destiny had been corrupted as well.】

【When Qin Yang heard that the reason he corrupted spiritual energy was because he was a Son of Destiny, and that the Sons of Destiny had been tainted by the karma of the Heavenly Dao and corrupted along with it—】

【And then heard that there was another Son of Destiny who had already corrupted Qingzhou’s Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, rendering that place no longer suitable for Human Race cultivation—】

【At that, a stunned expression appeared on Qin Yang’s face.】

【Qin Yang had never imagined that in this Canglan Realm, there were others besides himself who could corrupt spiritual energy.】

【Qin Yang had always thought he was the one and only. That was why he had told no one, only leaving the Sword Pavilion and going alone to the Central Continent.】

【“So, you came to find me this time because you want to kill me?”】

【Qin Yang looked at you with a bitter smile.】

【You looked at Qin Yang and shook your head.】

【At first, both you and Zhuge Qing had indeed come with the intention of killing the Son of Destiny. But after what happened with Su Wanqing, you had temporarily given up on the idea of killing Qin Yang.】

【You told Qin Yang that as long as he stopped using secret realms in the future, that would be enough.】

【However, to your surprise, Qin Yang let out a cold laugh and directly rejected your suggestion.】

【“Give up cultivating?”】

【“Impossible!”】

【“I’m only one step away from breaking through to the Mahayana realm! And you’re telling me to give up now?”】
