The pill had extraordinary effectiveness, despite its unknown grade.
Both Lan Qinghe and Han Yayi had serious wounds, all of which could be fatal, but they had recovered most of their strength with the help of the pill in just two hours, and after another day of rest, they had fully recovered.
Even Han Yayi, who was well-versed in such matters, was amazed by this pill.
"I didn't expect Brother Lu to have such a pill on him."
Han Yayi sighed, "You saved my life."
"What saved you was yourself."
As he spoke, Lan Qinghe took out the parcel that Huang Tianluo had thrown at him, opened it, and found a map inside.
"The Sacred Land of the Ancient Royal Family?"
"Sacred land!"
Han Yayi nodded, feeling a little emotional at the mention of the sacred land. "Now, I finally understand why the Ancient Royal Family built their city in the Kunwu Mountains."
"Because of the sacred land?"
"Yes, we found the Ancient Royal Family's sanctuary, but not long after we arrived, another group of people followed us."
Lan Qinghe glanced in the direction where they had fought with Wu Tong and others. "Them?"
"They are just small pawns!"
"Small pawns!?"
Lan Qinghe's expression changed.
Although Wu Tong was only at the Eighth Stage of True Refinement, he was better than Elder Jinlong, the Golden Dragon Sword King of the Ancient Sword Sect, and Shiluoren, the Vice Lord of the Dragon Gate City, even surpassing Qiu Long, Lu Zhuxian, and Zibaihe. In front of him, they all seemed inferior.
Such a strong person, turned out to be just a small pawn!?
"They are all under the command of the Son of Heaven."
"Son of Heaven?"
"Does Brother Lu not know the names of the Ten Great Sons?"
Lan Qinghe shook his head.
He had only been in this world for a year, and during that time, he had spent most of his time practicing, so he was not familiar with the famous figures in the cultivation world.
"The Ten Great Sons are the most outstanding ten geniuses within the Thousand Kingdoms. Each one of them has the hope of opening the Elemental Realm!"
"Opening the Elemental Realm?"
Lan Qinghe frowned slightly.
Opening the Elemental Realm...
Although this barrier would block most practitioners, it should not be difficult for those outstanding geniuses standing at the pinnacle...
As if sensing Lan Qinghe's doubts, Han Yayi continued, "These ten people are not opening ordinary Elemental Realms, but..."
Speaking of this, her tone was slightly heavy and she said slowly, "Inheriting the original world!"
"Honing to the tenth level!?"
"Exactly! Qiankun Master Lu Qiankun is a tenth-level honer! Moreover, it is widely rumored in the outside world that he has a great chance of successfully opening up the original world as a tenth-level honer! His identity and status are not inferior to those real Yuan Ying experts!"
Tenth-level honer!
Lu Qingyun was in seclusion, breaking through to the tenth level, so he had some understanding of the tenth level honing.
For ninety-nine percent of the geniuses, the tenth level honing represented not a broad future, but a road of despair.
For countless years, the incomparable geniuses of the Xuanxian Sect have crossed into the tenth level honing state, but ultimately, very few have successfully opened the original world.
Qiankun Master, known as the most hopeful figure in the country to break through to the tenth level and open up the inherited original world, without Han Ya's detailed introduction, Lu Qinghe already understood his high status and identity.
Once he could successfully open the inherited original world, he would be on par with the elders of the Xuanxian Sect.
"You've encountered Lu Qiankun?"
Lu Qingyun nodded, "Lu Qiankun is also in search of the Ancient Emperor's Family!"
"Lu Qiankun, a tenth-level honer, should be focused on seclusion and study on opening up the original world at this crucial moment. Why would he be distracted to search for the Ancient Emperor's Family?"
"This matter, I also learned after finding the hiding place of the Ancient Emperor's Family and obtaining some classics. I found out that in the Ancient Emperor's Family, there is an astonishing phenomenon."
Han Ya spoke with a hint of disbelief in her eyes, "In this family, for every four honers at the ninth level, one person chooses to break through to the tenth level."
Han Ya's words made Lu Qinghe suddenly realize.
Four people, and one breaks through to the tenth level!?
The tenth level honing was a grave for geniuses, only the most top-notch geniuses could open up the original world through the path of the tenth level honing, transcending in one step!
The Ancient Emperor's Family had done so, and most likely...
They had a special secret technique that made it easier to open up the inherited original world.
And that Qiankun Master obviously came for this purpose.
In an instant, Lu Qinghe's gaze fell on the map in his hand.
"The Holy Land of the Ancient Emperor's Family!?"
Han Ya nodded solemnly, "The Ancient Emperor's Family, by chance, discovered a cave in the Kunwu Mountain Range. In this cave, there is a place of inherited original world! And, this original world is not an ordinary inherited original world... it's a perfect original world!"
A perfect original world!
A honer at the eleventh level could only open up the original world!
Throughout the history of the Thousand Kingdom, there was only one appearance of a perfect original world, and that was by the founding emperor of the Thousand Kingdom, Bei Hantian!
Bei Hantian had relied on the perfect original world to form the myriad worlds, kill immortals, make a name for himself, and establish the foundation of the Thousand Kingdom for a thousand years!
But, this was ultimately just a rumor.
The original world of Bei Hantian had never been conclusively classified as a top-grade inherited original world or a perfect original world. The talk of a perfect original world might also have been a boastful proclamation by the Thousand Kingdom.
"No wonder Lu Qiankun personally rushed over!"
"According to the records of the Ancient Emperor's Family, that perfect original world is located in a cave in the Kunwu Mountain Range. The cave is so huge and mysterious that the Ancient Emperor's Family cannot fully occupy it. It is unavoidable for them to constantly travel to and from the cave in the Kunwu Mountain Range and arouse suspicion. Therefore, they built a city in the Kunwu Mountain Range to cover up the existence of a mysterious cave."
Lu Qinghe had already understood the following events.
The construction of the city by the Ancient Emperor's Family seemed to have angered the beasts in the Kunwu Mountain Range, ultimately leading to its destruction.
"The matter of the perfect original world is of great importance. Lu Qiankun may have leaked information and ordered us to be killed to avoid any leaks. Ye Ming was the first to bear the brunt, being killed by Wu Tong, and the two of us fled in a panic..."
As Han Ya spoke, she glanced at Lu Qinghe and said, "If we hadn't met Senior Brother Lu, the two of us would probably have had little chance of survival."
"Is there only one copy of the map?"
"No, there's another, but that one doesn't contain as much detailed information as this one."
Lu Qinghe looked at the marks on the map related to the location of the perfect original world of the Ancient Emperor's Family, feeling that this was a tremendous stroke of luck.
Original world, inherited original world, perfect original world, legendary original world!
This was a major turning point!
He, Lu Qinghe, had already decided to carefully study the world's cultivation system, so he had to do it to the best of his ability!
The matter of opening up the original world, the inherited original world, was already the highest secret preserved in the Xuanxian Sect. What's more, the higher level of the perfect original world?
If he could obtain the method to open up the perfect original world...
The benefits would be immeasurable!
"We're going to the Holy Land of the Ancient Emperor's Family!"
"To the Holy Land of the Ancient Emperor's Family!?"
Han Ya was shocked, "Qiankun Master is also heading to the Holy Land of the Ancient Emperor's Family. Although the map he has is not as detailed as the one we have, we've already delayed for a day. Who knows..."
"If you go back, notify the strong ones from the Xuanxian Sect to come."
"It's too late! A round trip to the Xuanxian Sect will take at least half a month."
"I plan to make a venture. Tell me about the other experts around Lu Qiankun."
Lan Qinhai stood up after finishing speaking.
In yesterday's battle, his true qi realm had already broken through to the seventh level of refining, but it was not yet stable. Despite this, he was not afraid to encounter strong opponents like Wu Tong.
This was also the reason why he dared to go to the sacred land of the ancient royal family, after pulling out the tiger's teeth in front of Qiankun Young Master.
"If Qiankun Young Master doesn't say it himself, refining to the tenth level, achieving the peak of his cultivation, one top-grade swordsmanship technique, the Dragon Zen Sword, and a top-grade Qiankun Boxing, all perfected. His refining method Qianlong Jue is the inherited method of the Dragon Hall, surpassing Xuan Guang Jue!"
Han Ya took a deep breath and shook her head, with a hint of despair in her eyes. "Not to mention high-level refining practitioners like Wang Wu and Wu Tong, even Senior Han Zhen and the top ten ranking strong at our Third Peak, will all be easily defeated by him. Your ordinary ninth-level refining practitioner is like a slaughtered pig or dog in front of him!"
One top-grade swordsmanship technique, one top-grade Qiankun Boxing...
The highest-level refining secret techniques...
This was truly a formidable and despairing opponent.
But...
Lan Qinhai's goal is to attain the Perfect Yuan Realm, not to confront them head-on.
"Are there any other strong ones aside from this?"
"Qiankun Young Master brought only a few strong ones to keep it secret. Wu Tong is the strongest among those, and four more remain, each one not weaker than Wang Wu, and all of them are loyal and fearless fighters!"
"So, the threats come from only Qiankun Young Master."
He said calmly.
He thought that except for Qiankun Young Master, the rest were normal ninth-level refining practitioners and outstanding talents among their peers. Only then would he take them seriously.
But now...
Han Ya glanced at Lan Qinhai and sighed bitterly in her heart.
Perhaps only Lan Qinhai, a monstrous-level swordsman, would not put high-level refining practitioners like Wang Wu in his eyes.
Lan Qinhai memorized the information on the map and then said directly, "I'll go ahead."
"Brother Lan..."
Han Ya wanted to go with Lan Qinhai, but then she thought about the gap in cultivation between her and Wang Wu and the others...
The words she was about to say changed to a cautious one.
Lan Qinhai nodded and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"It's only been a short time..."
Seeing Lan Qinhai leave, Han Ya leaned against an ancient tree, covering her body, and sat down with a bitter expression on her face. In her mind, she couldn't help but recall the scene when she first saw Lan Qinhai.
At that time, Lan Qinhai had just entered the fourth level of refining. Despite demonstrating a strong talent in swordsmanship, he was still not a match for her, who was at the peak of the sixth level of refining at that time.
But now...
Let alone her usual self, even if she displayed the Hunyuan Unveiling Technique, she would probably be killed instantly by Lan Qinhai.
Now, Lan Qinhai had the qualifications to converse with her benefactor, Han Zhen.
