Chapter 383: Does He Offend You?

Once the Taixuan Sect Master spoke, the masters of the various peaks could only fall silent, their eyes filled with regret.

Especially the Star Peak Master, for he had clearly been the first to arrive.

Yin Qi refused, saying, "I apologize, Sect Master, but I have already joined Zhuo Peak. Furthermore, I am by nature fond of quiet; compared to other places, I prefer Zhuo Peak."

Whoosh!

The crowd was in an uproar; Yin Qi had actually refused.

One must know that this was the Taixuan Sect Master, a peerless powerhouse at the Immortal Terrace Second Layer.

In this era where Slashing Dao Kings do not appear, the Taixuan Sect Master is one of the world's top powerhouses.

The Taixuan Sect Master frowned slightly: "If it is merely a preference for quiet, I can prepare a mountain peak for you alone; no one will ever disturb your cultivation. All kinds of cultivation resources will be poured upon you."

Yin Qi still refused: "Many thanks for the Sect Master's favor. I am a disciple of Zhuo Peak, and likewise a disciple of the Taixuan Sect."

Seeing Yin Qi's firm expression, the Taixuan Sect Master did not try to persuade him further, and could only say: "Since you have made up your mind, then cultivate at Zhuo Peak. From now on, you are a True Disciple of my Taixuan Sect, and I will have someone send all necessary cultivation resources on time."

Although Yin Qi had refused quite firmly, the Sect Master felt no anger.

In fact, he even wanted to promote Yin Qi to a True Disciple to bind him completely to the Taixuan Sect.

For any faction, this was truly too important.

Seeing this, the other peak masters also extinguished their thoughts of taking him as a disciple.

The name Di Qi also spread thoroughly.

Among these, the most famous was naturally the God King Jiang Taixu from four thousand years ago, who fought across the world without a match.

The appearance of a Divine Body meant that it was highly likely a Slashing Dao King would be born.

As for Yin Qi's background, he did not care; even if he came from some Desolate Ancient Family, it would not matter.

On this day, the Eastern Wasteland shook.

In the Post-Desolate Ancient Era, the Great Dao has retreated, cultivation on the Big Dipper Star is difficult, and Slashing Dao Kings have almost gone extinct; only a Divine Body can break this shackle, while ordinary people almost all stop at the Immortal Terrace Second Layer.

The Taixuan Sect had actually produced a Divine Body.

The Taixuan Sect Master nodded slowly and smiled kindly: "You may cultivate at Zhuo Peak; if you have any needs, do not hesitate to come find me. Or, if you change your mind later, any time is fine. Senior Brother Li, I leave Di Qi to you; I hope you can cultivate him well, as he is the future of our Taixuan Sect."

Yin Qi could not help but be surprised, and he cupped his hands in salute: "Many thanks, Sect Master."

As for what kind of Divine Body it was, it remained unknown for now.

This was a Divine Body, something the Taixuan Sect had not produced in over a thousand years.

Even if Yin Qi were to leave in the future, there would still be a bond of Incense between him and the Taixuan Sect.

……

Subsequently, the Taixuan Sect Master and the various peak masters left one after another.

Finally, he turned his head to look at Li Ruoyu.

Because a Divine Body was worth such preferential treatment.

Li Ruoyu nodded, indicating that he understood.

………

Zhuo Peak.

Yin Qi found a relatively intact palace to reside in.

His Martial Dao had already refined all his Acupoints; the next step was Qiao Tong Baiqiao.

This required time to polish and did not need bitter cultivation.

His Covering the Sky Method was already at the peak of the Sea of Bitterness Realm; he was not in a hurry to break through, wanting to wait until he reached the Northern Region and obtained the "Western Emperor Scripture," because the Dao Palace Chapter of the "Western Emperor Scripture" is the strongest technique for cultivating the Dao Palace Realm.

Therefore, apart from Qi Refining, Yin Qi spent his time wandering around Zhuo Peak and the surrounding minor peaks.

In fact, apart from him, Ji Haoyue and the others were doing the same.

They only knew that the Inheritance was hidden within Zhuo Peak, but they did not know how it was hidden, so everyone was searching everywhere.

As for how to open the Zhuo Peak Inheritance, Yin Qi knew that the Zhuo Bow must be used as the key.

According to the original work, this Zhuo Bow was on Zhuo Peak.

Yin Qi had long since calculated the location of the Zhuo Bow, but he was not in a hurry to retrieve it, because when the Zhuo Peak Inheritance was opened, the Secret of All might be obtained by Ji Haoyue and the others, and he was not that magnanimous.

This day, not long after Yin Qi left his room, he encountered the Yao Guang Holy Maiden, Yao Xi.

Yao Xi was the Holy Maiden of the Yao Guang Sacred Land and also its most outstanding female disciple; she was like a bright pearl emitting radiance, her skin crystalline, her body surrounded by shimmering light, her immortal form tall and elegant, standing gracefully like a blooming divine lotus.

Yin Qi cupped his hands: "Greetings, Saintess."

Yao Xi smiled, like a hundred flowers in bloom, beautiful enough to topple cities; her voice was melodious as she said: "Di Qi, one person's wisdom is short, two people's wisdom is long; how about you and I join forces to search for the Zhuo Peak Inheritance together?"

Yin Qi smiled slightly: "Many thanks for the Saintess's regard, but joining forces is unnecessary. I am a disciple of Zhuo Peak; cooperating with you would feel like colluding with an outsider to plot against my own family's property. I cannot do such a thing as eating inside and out."

Yao Xi was also taken aback, then she chuckled lightly: "You speak too severely. If we can find the Zhuo Peak Inheritance, it would allow Zhuo Peak to flourish once again; you would also be contributing to Zhuo Peak."

Yin Qi only smiled slightly: "Saintess, if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave."

Without waiting for Yao Xi to speak, he walked away directly.

Yin Qi actually understood Yao Xi's intentions; searching for the Zhuo Peak Inheritance together was a lie, while winning him over was the truth.

If he could become one of her admirers, that would be even better.

Watching Yin Qi's departing back, Yao Xi's eyes narrowed slightly; she could feel Yin Qi's rejection of her.

But this shouldn't be.

As the Holy Maiden of the Yao Guang Sacred Land, ever since she began walking the world, she had no idea how many admirers she had, including Holy Sons of Sacred Lands, all of whom she had played in the palm of her hand; yet she had not expected to be ignored by a little brat.

……

The summit of Zhuo Peak.

Yin Qi sat cross-legged on the Nine-Step Jade Stone, closing his eyes to face the morning sun, quietly sensing the nature of Heaven and Earth.

He had come here to meditate every day these past few days, feeling a sense of unprecedented peace.

"Hey, little brother."

Just at this moment, a clear and beautiful voice rang out before him.

Yin Qi opened his eyes; it was Ji Ziyue.

She stood prettily before the Nine-Step Heavenly Ladder, hands behind her back, opening a pair of bright, beautiful large eyes and revealing a pair of white, small tiger teeth: "Do we know each other?"

Yin Qi said indifferently: "Mm, we know each other."

Ji Ziyue smiled happily: "I knew it, we have known each other for a long time; you give me a very familiar feeling, but why do I have no impression of you?"

Yin Qi smiled slightly: "Miss Ji has misunderstood; from the first time you came to Zhuo Peak, we could be considered to have known each other. Counting it up, it has been fifteen days until now."

Ji Ziyue could not help but roll her pretty eyes, saying crossly: "Little brat, are you teasing me? What I want to ask is, have we met before? Also, what kind of Divine Body are you?"

Speaking to the end, her beautiful eyes were sparkling, filled with curiosity.

"Perhaps we have met, perhaps we have not; why must we have known each other before to meet now?"

Yin Qi shook his head, looking at Ji Ziyue's cute appearance, he could not help but want to tease her, saying: "As for what kind of Divine Body it is, I tell you... I have nothing to say."

"You..."

Ji Ziyue bared her teeth, revealing her small tiger teeth and saying fiercely: "Little brat, still 'nothing to say.' You won't tell me, it must be because this Divine Body of yours is definitely not very impressive."

Yin Qi nodded: "Mm, it is indeed not very impressive."

"You are doing this on purpose to anger me, aren't you?"

"Not at all, everything you say is correct."

"Little brat, not cute at all, just like that bastard Yin Qi."

"Yin Qi?"

Yin Qi raised an eyebrow and asked: "Is that the visitor from beyond the Heaven? Did he offend you?"
