Time passed, the weather was clear today. The sky was blue and clear like a mirror.
Qin Shan was cultivating in the cave, stabilizing its foundation after absorbing the abundant energy from the pond water.
Currently Qin Shan had already leveled up to the Third Layer Origin King.
[Ting~Tong]
[Process of system upgrade to version 5 completed]
[Getting new features]
Qin Shan awoke from his meditation as he suddenly heard the sound of a notification from the system.
"Hey system.." call Qin Shan with a smile on his face.
"Shan-gee."
Qin Shan was surprised to hear a voice he had not heard for a long time, and said, "Yu'er?"
"Hehe, does Shan-gege miss me?" After saying that, suddenly a dazzling light appeared in front of Qin Shan, making him narrow his eyes.
It was a dazzling 17-year-old girl, jade-white skin, thin lips, and glamorous red clothes.
The woman smiled towards Qin Shan, she slowly walked over gracefully.
"Shan-gee."
"Yu-Yu'er?" Qin Shan said stammeredly, he was deeply fascinated by Yu'er's beauty on par with Long Ji Yao, different from the two was Yu'er giving off a majestic aura while Ji Yao exuded a fiery aura.
Yu'er currently already had a physical body because Qin Shan upgraded the system to a high version.
"Did gege dislike my appearance?" Yu'er lowered her head, her eyes flashing miserably.
Hearing those words, Qin Shan came to his senses from his daydream and hurriedly said, "It's not so, I-I..."
Qin Shan could not explain his words as Yu'er's index finger stuck to his lips. Signal the silence.
Yu'er's expression turned very serious.
Qin Shan looked at him confusedly, Yu'er's body glowed then disappeared.
A light flashed at the entrance of the cave and a single figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Qin Shan instinctively pushed his Qi Energy and took a defensive stance as he looked at this newcomer warily.
The visitor had no intention of concealing his presence as he simply looked at Qin Shan coldly and sneered, "You little rat who is quite wary."
With the help of the dim light, Qin Shan could see his opponent's face clearly.
He was a man who looked to be around thirty years old and wore a refined white robe, but that was not the point. What he noticed was the aura of this man, an aura that was much stronger than Liu Feng from Purple Tertai that gave him great pressure.
The Dao Source realm!
As this thought flashed through his mind, Qin Shan's face became ugly.
Qin Shan did not know exactly how strong a Dao Source cultivator was, just that this man was not someone he could fight now.
Swush! Swush! Swush!
Several whizzing sounds came from outside as three more figures landed on the edge of the cave behind the man.
One of them asked, "Senior Lou, what did you find?"
Another man said in surprise, "Hey, there's one person hiding here. Senior Lou's senses were truly incredible to be able to find him here."
The last person laughed, "Senior Lou is the master of the First Layer Dao Source while he is just like us, he won't be able to hide under Senior Lou's nose."
Qin Shan remained silent, while observing his opponent.
The other party had three Third Layer Origin Kings, only their leader could not be handled by Qin Shan. Fortunately, they did not attack immediately, otherwise, he would have suffered a disaster.
Senior Lou who was leading this group gave Qin Shan a cold look, "Where are you from and what are you planning to do here in my Star Axis Sect?"
Qin Shan speculated that he had accidentally infiltrated this region called the Star Axis Sect and now he was discovered by his disciples.
Taking all this into consideration, Qin Shan tried to put on a relaxed expression while cupping his hands and said, "Greetings friend, I didn't know this is your noble Sect wilayag and accidentally entered without permission. If I have offended you, please forgive me."
Qin Shan wanted to rush away from there.
Senior Lou and the other three Origin Kings, standing at the entrance of the cave, showed no intention to give way.
Senior Lou sneered and said, "Inadvertently entering without permission? You might be able to fool the kids with your lies, but do you think you can fool me? You must be from Sunrise Pavilion!"
"Sunrise Pavilion?" Qin Shan frowned and shook his head, "Sorry, I've never heard of it."
"Your acting skills are not bad," one of the Origin King sneered and said. "Senior sister Lou, don't talk nonsense with her anymore, let's take her and make her reveal the truth. Dare to trespass into the Star Shaft Sect, this Sunrise Pavilion dog simply does not put us in their eyes."
The man surnamed Lou also spoke with a cold expression, "It is better to kill a thousand innocents than to let the guilty!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and formed a seal then pressed his palm towards Qin Shan.
A beam of light shot out and hit Qin Shan's chest which made him unable to dodge.
Qin Shan was startled and hurriedly tried to resist, a rope appeared on his body. This rope was covered by dense runes that flickered and pressed down firmly.
The more he struggled, the stronger the bonds of this Secret Technique became.
Qin Shan's face instantly turned grim.
A casual move alone was enough to seal the fighting ability completely. Qin Shan realized how terrifying that Dao Source master was.
After tying Qin Shan up, Senior Lou did not glance at him, merely waving, "Bring him up!"
Qin Shan was annoyed but knew that now was not the time to act rashly.
The three cultivators who were following Senior Lou were pushing Qin Shan outside.
"Buddy, there seems to be a misunderstanding between us, can you listen to my explanation first?" Qin Shan calmly made a last resort.
"explanation? You can explain everything you like once we get back to the sect!" Senior Lou snorted coldly.
"Yes, hand over your Storage Ring if you want to avoid the pain!"
Qin Shan shook his head slowly, took off the Storage Ring and threw it at the nearest person.
There was nothing valuable in his Storage Ring, just some everyday items he often needed. The real precious treasure is hidden in the inventory of his system.
Handing over the Storage Ring did not cause Qin Shan to experience any psychological burden.
The three Origin Kings received the Qin Shan Storage Ring and did not inspect it at all, directly handing it over to their leader. Senior Lou was very satisfied and instantly kept that Storage Ring.
Shortly thereafter, the group left the cave.
Senior Lou waved his hand and summoned a small ship that quickly enlarged into a ship carved with dragons and phoenix in the blink of an eye.
This ship was not very large, there were only two decks, but it was more than enough to hold them.
Senior Lou casually jumped up, tied Qin Shan with his strength and landed on the deck. The other three soon followed.
Senior Lou activated the Spirit Array on the ship and a barrier of light surrounded him before darting away at an astonishing speed.
Qin Shan observed all of this with astonishment, shock filling his eyes.
In the Yuansen Continent, he had never encountered this type of flight artifact. He only saw flying swords and flying animals.
This ship is perfect for fast travel.
After flying for about half an hour, there was a mountain range with many buildings around it. Qin Shan knew this was the headquarters of the Star Axis Sect. He was curious and could not help but stand up from the deck to take a look.
A moment later, Qin Shan was shaken on the spot.
As far as he could see, for tens of thousands of kilometers, the mountains were dotted with views of palaces and pavilions. Clearly, all of this belonged to the Star Axis Sect.
This sect stood among the vast mountains and had an extremely rich World Energy aura, floating around it. This kind of aura was incredible compared to any Sect. Even the Purple Lotus City could not compare to this Star Shaft Sect, both of them were obviously of different classes.
