Chapter 346 - 345: Qin Yang’s Plan, Transforming the Blood Spirit Array
A single day passed in a flash.
Fuhai District, at dusk.
The afterglow of the setting sun descended upon Jianghai.
The Golden Dragon Dharma Aspect that had been coiling and roaming the sky dissipated, leaving the heavens tranquil.
The oppressive pressure that had lingered for so long vanished. Many vehicles and Star Martial Artists at the district’s main entrance began to depart, and the citizens who had come to watch the spectacle filed out one after another.
"They’ve all left."
Elder Li stood on the second-floor balcony, his hands clasped behind his back. He gazed into the distance, watching as people vanished from sight one by one, silently observing the scene outside the district.
He stayed there until after the sun had set.
By then, Fuhai District was completely deserted.
Only then did he return indoors, satisfied.
The atmosphere inside was lively. The clatter of pots and pans came from the kitchen, accompanied by a continuous stream of enticing aromas.
The two sisters of the Li Family were whispering to each other on the sofa, while the Commander and Liu Wushuang were deep in discussion, planning the defenses for Li Shui Lake.
Qin Yang sat in the host’s seat, casually scrolling through his phone.
Moonlight slanted in through the window. The moment felt tranquil and timeless. He was the only one not yet seated.
"Teacher, come over here."
Li Zixuan patted the empty space on the sofa, making room for Elder Li. "Xiaobai will be done with the food soon. She’s an amazing cook, even better than our Li Family’s private chef."
"Mm,"
Elder Li sat down, but his gaze remained fixed on Qin Yang. He held his teacup, gathering his thoughts as the vast Star Force within him churned with his surging emotions, impossible to suppress.
’If it weren’t for Qin Yang’s Dragon Mighty, with my aged body, breaking through to this Realm would have likely taken another ten or twenty years... or worse, I might never have broken through in my entire lifetime.’
’But now, I’ve crossed the threshold in a single night!’
’This is a debt of gratitude that would take several lifetimes to repay!’
After a moment of contemplation,
he raised his teacup, looked at Qin Yang, and offered his solemn congratulations:
"Congratulations, Young Master, on reaching the Middle Stage of Celestial Venerable!!"
His old, weathered voice was filled with reverence. The moment he finished speaking, everyone else immediately joined in with a chorus of shouts.
"Congratulations, Young Master, on reaching the Middle Stage of Celestial Venerable!"
"What did I tell you? My master is the best!"
"Old Qin, you’re awesome!!"
"Your future is boundless! You’ll surely ascend beyond the Celestial Venerable Realm one day!"
As the cheers echoed through the living room, Qin Yang felt a bit embarrassed. He waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, everyone. It’s just the Mid Stage of Celestial Venerable. There’s no need to be so formal."
"Ah, Young Master, your great kindness to our Jianghai City this time... The proper etiquette is still required."
Elder Li came over and sat by the coffee table, accepting the cup Li Zixuan handed him. He sighed emotionally. "You have now broken through to the Celestial Venerable Realm."
"But you didn’t just advance alone. You elevated the entire Jianghai City by a huge degree! Such generosity is truly unprecedented and will likely never be seen again!"
"I’m afraid it’s a debt our Jianghai City won’t be able to repay even in several lifetimes."
"You’re too kind, Elder Li."
Hearing this, Qin Yang smiled faintly and took a light sip of his tea. "The advancement of Jianghai’s Star Martial Artists this time was a natural course of events. I just gave everyone a little push, a small bit of help, that’s all."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Elder Li sipped his tea in silence.
’A small bit of help?’
’Fortuitous opportunities are hard enough to come by.’
’Let alone what Qin Yang did—directly revealing his True Dragon Dharma Aspect and allowing all the Star Martial Artists of Jianghai to bask in its glory!’
’Throughout history, only the Heaven-Blasting Gang would do such a thing!’
"You’re far too humble, Young Master."
Hearing this, Elder Li couldn’t help but speak up. "Without your Dragon Mighty, I’m afraid I would never have been able to break through in this lifetime. And the Magic Sword you gave Xuanxuan... We will never forget this kindness."
As soon as he finished speaking,
Li Zixuan, who was beside them, pressed her lips together, her ears turning red. Thinking of how well Qin Yang had taken care of her, she was too shy to speak and could only fidget with the hem of her clothes under the table.
"You’re welcome. It was nothing,"
Qin Yang just smiled at his words, then changed the subject. "But we can’t let our guard down. The Beast God is still out there, so we must continue to comprehend the Heart of Law for the next few days..."
"Yes, Young Master!"
...
...
...
「The next morning.」
Xiaobai ambled over to Qin Yang, holding her phone out to him excitedly.
"Master, look..."
"You’re on TV."
"Huh?"
Qin Yang paused, confused.
"What do you mean, ’on TV’?"
"See for yourself,"
Xiaobai handed the phone over, then climbed onto the sofa and snuggled up next to him, excitedly swiping the screen open. "The trending topics are all news about you right now."
"Oh yeah?"
Qin Yang took the phone and looked.
On the screen was a conceptual design for a planned municipal project.
A magnificent statue stood on a street corner. It was a scaled-up colossus of a handsome, god-like man. A crimson-gold dragon was coiled around it, its scales and claws wild and domineering, so lifelike it seemed to be a living creature.
Furthermore, it was located in a bustling area in the city center, to be admired by countless passing citizens—the equivalent of the very heart of Jianghai City.
"Whoa, they’re really making a big deal out of this..."
Qin Yang gave a helpless laugh, handed the phone back to Xiaobai, and didn’t pay it much mind.
"I’ll have to talk to the Commander and the others later. A small gesture is enough."
"Huh? A small gesture?"
Xiaobai’s fox ears twitched slightly. She swiped rapidly at the phone screen and said, disgruntled,
"How could that be enough! This Fairy was planning to have them erect a little fox statue next to it."
As she spoke, Xiaobai leaned over Qin Yang’s back, grinning and counting on her fingers. "I’m the Lord Fox Immortal of the Heaven-Blasting Gang, after all! My reputation must be maxed out!"
"First, it has to be gold-plated. Then it’ll be perched on your shoulder, Master. And it would be best if they also built a small shrine..."
Before she could finish,
WHACK!
Qin Yang gave her a light chop on the head.
"You wish!"
"A fox wanting her own shrine to receive incense offerings? Are you trying to become a real immortal or something!"
...
...
「A short while later.」
Beneath Li Shui Lake.
Schools of fish swam past dark sand and green algae.
Qin Yang floated alone beside the Blood Spirit Array, studying its core.
With the passage of time and no offerings of blood-food, the Blood Spirit Array had loosened slightly, but thankfully, the effect wasn’t significant.
’But continuing this stalemate with the Beast God isn’t a long-term solution,’
Qin Yang thought, his brow furrowed.
’I may have set up a Guardian Array,’
’but I still have to guard against the hidden threat that is the Beast God.’
’And the bigger problem is the police personnel stationed around Li Shui Lake. The resource drain is unimaginable.’
’They work in shifts every day.’
’Everyone will eventually reach a point of exhaustion.’
’One hundred precautions, one oversight. Who knows when the Beast God might exploit a moment of weakness.’
’Unless it’s the absolute last resort, I really don’t want to destroy the Blood Spirit Array...’
’I have to solve the problem at its root.’
As he pondered, an idea suddenly struck Qin Yang. He looked up at the surface of the lake, where he could faintly see the Celestial Vault Black Holes through the shimmering, undulating water, exuding an inscrutable and bizarre aura.
’If only I could modify the Blood Spirit Array to draw the Power of Stars directly from the Upper Realm...’
