The world reincarnates, each time a new talent!

202: Open your eyes”Island Master, it happened like this...”

Someone stood up and said sheepishly.

After hearing the reason, the faces of Long and Mu turned increasingly ashen.

”Look at what you’ve done. Now that the cave has collapsed, the Tai Xuan Sutra is completely destroyed and can never be comprehended again. And the only person who understood the Tai Xuan Sutra has also been buried by you.”

Long and Mu were momentarily filled with immense rage.

Had they known this would happen, they would have stopped these people from attacking Ning Yuan at the time.

Regret now was of no use.

”Island Master, there are so many of us, why don’t we try to dig?”

Someone made a suggestion.

But others looked at the collapsed cave ahead; it wasn’t just one cave, but several interconnected ones. The entire mountain might have come crashing down.

It was possible the person died on the spot.

Even if they didn’t die, God only knew how long it would take to dig to the depths of the cave.

In a few months’ time, even if the person inside was alive, they would likely be nothing but a corpse by the time the digging finished.

”This time we truly tried to gain an advantage only to end up worse off. Not only was that Yue Buqun buried under the mountain, but many others were buried along with him.”

Someone said resentfully.

Originally, the two groups on Xia Ke Island totaled fifty or sixty people, but now only half remained.

Those who were able to escape relied on Luck more than strength; naturally, those closer to the exit had a better chance of escaping.

Meanwhile, inside the mountain cave.

Although the cave had collapsed, it hadn’t completely caved in.

Ning Yuan used his technique to shatter a boulder at the entrance, clearing a path to the adjacent stone chamber.

Facing such a situation, Ning Yuan did not panic.

Because with his current strength, even going half a month without food or water would have no impact.

More importantly, with his cultivation and Qi recovery speed, it wouldn’t be difficult to break through a path as long as he found a direction and an opening.

[Current World: Smiling Proud Wanderer, Xia Ke Island]

[Departure Countdown: 758 days (1 day in the Main World)]

[Luck: 950 (Can be exchanged for original body’s martial arts)]

[Current Identity: Yue Buqun]

[Current Talent: Dual Cultivation of Blessing and Wisdom (Active, 49x Comprehension Ability)]

[Cultivation: Aperture Opening Early Stage]

[Martial Arts: Bei Ming Divine Skill, Seven-String Formless Sword, Five Mountains Divine Sword, Nine Swords of Dugu...]

Seeing his current attributes, Ning Yuan’s confidence surged.

”In the past, the Ten Elders of the Demonic Cult were sealed to death inside Si Guo Cliff, but unfortunately, I am not one of them. This place won’t be my grave.”

Ning Yuan whispered to himself.

Especially since he could now condense the Innate Nine Apertures at any time, which would make him even stronger.

There is a world of difference between a Dao Foundation Martial Artist and those before dao entry.

The mere rocks from the mountain collapse were like tofu before him, easily sliced through.

Just as Ning Yuan entered the adjacent stone chamber, he heard a burst of wailing.

Seeing Ning Yuan appear, the wailing person immediately looked terrified. ”You’re actually unharmed? You’re not dead?”

”A mere mountain collapse trying to kill me? You underestimate Yue far too much.”

Ning Yuan sneered, ”You interrupted my enlightenment. Use your cultivation to compensate for my loss.”

Ning Yuan circulated the Bei Ming Divine Skill. Along the way, whenever he encountered someone still alive, he directly absorbed their cultivation.

Although the cave had collapsed and buried many people, not many died on the spot; most were heavily injured or unconscious.

And because they were all heading toward the exit, he found many half-dead masters along the way just by following that direction.

Naturally, these people became part of Ning Yuan’s cultivation.

”Rather than waiting for death here, I’ll send you on your way. Consider it a mercy to end your suffering.”

Ning Yuan slowly withdrew his hand. At this moment, his True Qi had strengthened significantly once again.

Those who could go to Xia Ke Island were all masters, especially some who had set foot on the island over thirty years ago and possessed extremely deep cultivation.

Even though Ning Yuan’s cultivation had already broken through, every time he absorbed someone’s power, it brought him a noticeable improvement.

In just a few short hours.

Ning Yuan felt himself touching a threshold once again.

Now, with forty-nine times the Comprehension Ability and looking back from the heights of his predecessors, he had already created the subsequent techniques for the Bei Ming Divine Skill. He didn’t even need to worry about Cultivation Techniques before the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, Ning Yuan understood that he could condense the Innate Nine Apertures at any time.

Entering the Aperture Condensation Realm of the Middle Stage of Aperture Opening.

Just then, a weak cry for help came through.

”Is anyone there?”

”It’s Min Rou’s voice.”

Hearing the voice, Ning Yuan immediately turned and headed toward it.

”Junior Sister Min Rou.”

Seeing Min Rou in the corner with her face covered in blood, Ning Yuan immediately called out.

Upon hearing Ning Yuan’s voice, Min Rou, who had been in despair, immediately perked up. She lifted her eyelids, looked toward the direction of the voice, and choked out, ”Is that Big Brother Yue?”

”It’s me. How are you? Where are you hurt? And where is Brother Shi Qing?”

Ning Yuan walked over quickly, soon reaching Min Rou, and knelt down to ask.

”Big Brother Yue, it’s good that you’re alright.”

Seeing Ning Yuan, Min Rou finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her body went limp and she fell backward, but fortunately, Ning Yuan caught her in his arms so she didn’t fall into the pile of rocks.

”What exactly happened?”

Ning Yuan asked in a heavy voice.

Min Rou then recounted the events.

”Hmph, these people are unworthy of being called members of the righteous sects. To involve the innocent and lay such a heavy hand on a weak woman like you—rest assured, I will definitely help you avenge this.”

Ning Yuan snorted coldly, then asked again, ”Where is Shi Qing?”

Mentioning Shi Qing, Min Rou regained some of her senses. Her eyes reddened, and her face filled with sorrow. ”In order to protect me, Senior Brother was first injured by those people, and then a large rock fell. Brother Shi pushed me out of the stone chamber, but he himself...”

At this point, Min Rou couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Regardless of what had happened before, she could be certain of one thing now: Shi Qing’s care for her was real.

Having been fellow disciples and a married couple for twenty or thirty years, how could Min Rou not be grieved when such a thing happened, especially since he did it to protect her?

”Don’t worry. If he’s alive, I’ll find him; if he’s dead, I’ll find his body. I will definitely help you find Brother Shi.”

Ning Yuan gently patted Min Rou’s back to comfort her.

After a long while, Min Rou’s emotions finally stabilized, and she left Ning Yuan’s embrace with a flushed face.

”You rest here first. I’ll go take a look.”

Ning Yuan left a handkerchief for Min Rou and then walked in the direction she pointed.

He soon saw a pile of scattered rocks.

”It seems to be here.”

”Brother Shi, are you still there?”

Ning Yuan arrived at the rocks and shouted loudly.

But there was no response from inside.

”It seems I’ll have to force it open.”

Ning Yuan silently circulated his Internal Energy and then struck out with a palm. Immediately, the entire cave began to shake again.

But Ning Yuan remained unmoved. As his True Qi erupted instantly, a powerful force directly shattered the rocks in front of him.

Boom!

Accompanied by a roar, the rocks burst apart, and a pitch-black cave entrance appeared.

Ning Yuan strode inside.

”Brother Shi, are you there?”

Ning Yuan called out softly.

After a moment, a faint voice reached his ears.

Ning Yuan immediately walked over and saw Shi Qing covered in blood, his legs pinned by a boulder, looking incredibly pathetic.

”Brother Shi, how are you?”

Ning Yuan immediately stepped forward and asked with concern.

Hearing Ning Yuan’s voice, Shi Qing finally gathered some spirit. ”Brother Yue, I knew that with your strength, you wouldn’t be harmed by those petty people. Cough, cough...”

Shi Qing grabbed Ning Yuan’s arm. ”Brother Yue...”

”Brother Shi, how did you end up like this? It was I who implicated you!”

Ning Yuan asked emotionally.

Shi Qing shook his head with difficulty, opening his mouth to call out haltingly, ”Brother Yue, Junior Sister, Junior Sister...”

”Don’t worry, Junior Sister Min Rou is unharmed.”

Ning Yuan said immediately.

”It’s good that Junior Sister is unharmed.”

Hearing that Min Rou was fine, Shi Qing finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this time, Min Rou also came staggering in. ”Senior Brother, Senior Brother...”

Hearing Min Rou’s voice, Shi Qing became even more emotional. As Min Rou rushed over, Shi Qing took her hand. ”Junior Sister, you’re okay. I... I can rest easy now.”

”I... I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you anymore... cough, cough...”

As he spoke, Shi Qing began to cough violently.

He was already injured before, and then a rock crashed into his chest. His internal organs were already heavily damaged, and he was currently relying entirely on a thread of True Qi to stay alive.

”Senior Brother, you’ll be fine. You’ll definitely be fine.”

Min Rou said hurriedly.

Shi Qing shook his head, then took Min Rou’s hand and placed it in Ning Yuan’s hand, saying solemnly, ”Brother Yue, I’m afraid I won’t make it this time. In the future, please take my place and look after Junior Sister. Cough, cough...”

Shi Qing said with difficulty.

”Brother Shi, rest assured. As long as I’m here, I will take good care of Junior Sister Min Rou!”

Ning Yuan said solemnly.

”Senior Brother, you will definitely be fine. You must hold on.”

Min Rou cried out in sorrow. Beside her, Ning Yuan circulated his power and transferred it into Shi Qing’s body. ”Brother Shi, you ended up like this because of me. I won’t let you die so easily. I will do everything in my power to heal you. Now, don’t overthink things. I will regulate your internal injuries.”

Ning Yuan pulled him up and began to treat Shi Qing.

As Ning Yuan’s power flowed into Shi Qing’s body, Shi Qing’s pale face regained some color.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Qing fell into a deep sleep, temporarily out of life-threatening danger.

”Senior Brother?”

Seeing that Shi Qing’s breathing was stable, Min Rou breathed a sigh of relief, a look of joy appearing on her face.

She couldn’t help but turn to look at Ning Yuan.

”Don’t worry. Brother Shi is out of immediate danger. Although his injuries are severe and his legs may never stand again, and his internal organs are damaged, leading to serious complications in the future, as long as his condition doesn’t worsen, his life is temporarily saved.”

Ning Yuan comforted her softly.

Min Rou’s eyes immediately filled with gratitude, and she nodded repeatedly. ”Thank you, Big Brother Yue.”

”Hey! You were besieged because of me. Facing such a dangerous situation, you still stood by my side. I naturally won’t mistreat you.”

Ning Yuan comforted her softly, then suddenly whispered, ”Besides, with the relationship between us, there’s no need for thanks.”

Ning Yuan took Min Rou’s hand.

Min Rou trembled all over. Seeing Shi Qing unconscious nearby, she quickly withdrew her hand and lowered her head.

With Shi Qing in this state, and having suffered such severe injuries for her sake, it was naturally impossible for Min Rou to do anything to betray Shi Qing at this time.

Ning Yuan didn’t mind. After making arrangements, he found a place to sit cross-legged and begin cultivating.

Now that he had the subsequent techniques, today would be the day of his Breakthrough.

Ning Yuan silently circulated his Bei Ming True Qi, letting it gradually rise from his Dantian.

Ning Yuan only felt a cool aura covering his eyes, and the objects before him gradually became clearer.

It was as if there had always been a layer of gauze over his eyes, and now that gauze was gradually dissolving.

In the darkness, a faint blue light flashed in Ning Yuan’s eyes.

”It’s pitch black in this cave with insufficient light, but now, in my eyes, it’s like broad daylight, incredibly clear. Truly miraculous.”

”And...”

Ning Yuan concentrated. He felt the objects before him enlarge. Even the dust floating in mid-air was clearly imprinted in his eyes at this moment, and he could even see the texture of the dust.

Ning Yuan turned to look toward the cave exit.

It had long been buried tightly by scattered rocks, and not a single speck of light could penetrate.

Moreover, it was several zhang away from the outside, completely airtight.

But at this moment, in Ning Yuan’s eyes, he saw tiny specks of light.

These points of light were originally invisible to the human eye because they were too minute; even if magnified ten times, they would be difficult to see.

But now, they were clearly presented in Ning Yuan’s eyes.

What seemed to be tightly blocked was now full of openings in Ning Yuan’s eyes.

”In this way, opening the exit becomes even simpler.”

”Just opening the Eye Apertures has already granted me a power like a Divine Ability. This is true dao entry, truly surpassing the scope of Wuxia!”

Ning Yuan sighed softly.

Currently, the ability his eyes possessed was indeed no different from a Divine Ability. This completely exceeded the scope of Wuxia and, for the first time, created a qualitative difference from the previous Realms.

”I really don’t know how powerful I will become after all nine apertures are opened, or what kind of Divine Abilities I will obtain.”

Ning Yuan couldn’t help but clench his fists, his heart racing with excitement for a moment.

Then, Ning Yuan stood up.

He did not continue cultivating.

Although he had the subsequent techniques, his True Qi was insufficient.

Condensing the Innate Nine Apertures required a massive amount of True Qi.

Previously, Ning Yuan had absorbed the cultivation of over a dozen first-rate masters to directly condense the two Eye Apertures.

”If I absorb the cultivation of everyone on Xia Ke Island, perhaps I can condense all nine apertures. Even if I can’t condense them all, the gap won’t be too large.”

Ning Yuan narrowed his eyes and whispered to himself.

Since these people dared to attack him and disrupt his enlightenment, Ning Yuan naturally had no qualms about dealing with them.

Especially on this Xia Ke Island.

Even if he killed everyone here, the news wouldn’t reach the outside world.

Thinking of this, Ning Yuan’s eyes grew even brighter.

”It seems I need to get out as soon as possible, to prevent anyone from escaping ahead of time.”

Ning Yuan lightly licked his lips, his gaze gradually becoming decisive.

”When I return to the Central Plains, my cultivation will likely reach a Realm unprecedented and unrepeatable. And when I return to the Main World, hmph...”

At the thought of almost being killed and the scenes of being hunted, Ning Yuan couldn’t help but snort coldly.

”At that time, the roles of hunter and prey will be reversed!”

Ning Yuan said coldly.
