Chapter Sixteen: A Miracle from My Hands (Part 2)

The Immortal Bone Mirror was brought out, its smooth surface shimmering with immortal patterns, and the entire mirror exuded a terrifying aura! Even a great figure like Yu He could not help but feel awe under such an aura!

The Immortal Bone Mirror was directed at Li Qiyi, and his reflection appeared, showing his Life Wheel and Destiny Palace! The Life Wheel slowly turned, resembling a flow of blood, while the Destiny Palace remained unopened, indicating an ordinary mortal!

"Ordinary body, ordinary wheel, ordinary life, Destiny Palace unopened, not yet started cultivation! No Immortal Emperor treasures carried on his person!" Finally, Yu He concluded!

Knocking Palace is the lowest realm for cultivators. Even those with the poorest aptitude can open their Destiny Palace in a day or a few days. However, Li Qiyi's Destiny Palace was unopened, indicating no signs of cultivation.

Under the Immortal Bone Mirror, Li Qiyi could not hide, and everything was revealed to everyone.

"Protector Xu, Protector Yu, are you satisfied now!" Protector Mo said coldly. Being forced to use the Immortal Bone Mirror was a disgrace to their Xianyan Ancient Sect!

"Apologies." Yu He, a man of considerable grace, nodded and said, "Li Qiyi did not cheat!"

With Yu He's acknowledgment, no one could say anything! However, it was hard to believe that a thirteen-year-old boy could traverse the Heart-Chaos Forest, an ordinary body, ordinary wheel, ordinary life, and not yet started cultivation. Such a person would be considered a waste in the eyes of all cultivators. Yet, this waste had crossed the Heart-Chaos Forest.

"But, this, this, this is impossible!" Xu Hui could not accept this fact.

Li Qiyi glanced at him and said slowly, "It seems you are not convinced, but I will make you crawl on your knees. The Heart-Chaos Forest, what's so great about it? Only a fool like you would reach the seventh layer. Open your dog eyes wide, and I'll walk through it again for you." Saying this, he turned and walked into the Heart-Chaos Forest.

At that moment, countless eyes were fixed on the Heart-Chaos Forest, afraid to miss any detail.

"First layer, second layer, third layer..." Nan Huairen's gaze followed Li Qiyi's steps, counting layer by layer.

"Fourteenth layer!" Finally, Nan Huairen shouted, though he had witnessed the miracle again, he was still shocked. This was simply a freak!

At this moment, everyone present was speechless, and even someone like Yu He was silent for a long time. After the Immortal Bone Mirror's inspection, Yu He knew that Li Qiyi's innate talent was nothing special, but now he possessed an unparalleled Dao Heart, an unshakable Dao Heart.

A thirteen-year-old boy with an unshakable Dao Heart, what kind of trials had he endured? Yu He could not believe it. He had cultivated for over a thousand years, but he could not possess such a Dao Heart!

"Crawl over." Li Qiyi walked back, spread his legs, and glanced at Xu Hui, saying indifferently.

"You—" Xu Hui trembled all over, his face turning ashen. To crawl under Li Qiyi's legs in front of so many people, where would his dignity go?

"We, the Nine Holy Demon Sect, have lost! Since we made a bet, we must honor it!" Yu He nodded and said, "Xu Hui, you proposed the bet, so you must fulfill your promise."

Xu Hui almost fainted. Now that even Protector Yu had spoken, even his master could not save him. His face turned red and then pale, and finally, he gritted his teeth and knelt before Li Qiyi. His body remained stiff for a long time, and this was the most humiliating moment of his life.

In the end, Xu Hui had to crawl under Li Qiyi's legs! After Xu Hui crawled past, Li Qiyi stepped on him, looked down, and said, "An inch of respect from others, I return a foot of respect. If someone offends me an inch, I will offend them a foot! Genius disciples mean nothing to me, and the Nine Holy Demon Sect is nothing to me!" With that, he turned and walked away, his figure gradually disappearing.

"Spit—" Xu Hui trembled all over, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground, fainting from anger.

"Hui'er—" Protector Xu quickly picked up Xu Hui and massaged his acupoints!

At that moment, everyone present was stunned. Li Qiyi, an ordinary body, a waste, was simply too unbelievable! This was impossible.

However, Li Qiyi, an ordinary body, still spoke arrogantly, even daring to claim that he did not fear the Nine Holy Demon Sect, despite not having cultivated any Dao techniques!

Back on the main peak, Protector Xu, Yu He, and Protector Mo returned to their seats. Li Qiyi sat at the lower end, relaxed and composed. His demeanor made many Nine Holy Demon Sect disciples want to beat him up!

Protector Xu stared at Li Qiyi, his terrifying gaze filled with resentment! His beloved disciple being humiliated, as a master, he naturally felt the same. Li Qiyi's humiliation of his disciple was equivalent to humiliating him!

At this moment, Protector Mo and Nan Huairen felt strange. Li Qiyi, a disciple who had only joined the Nine Holy Demon Sect for a few days, was so arrogant that everyone thought he was reckless and courting death.

However, upon closer reflection, it seemed he was not being arrogant; his words seemed to be stating facts.

This made Protector Mo and Nan Huairen unable to understand Li Qiyi, and they could not see through him. An ordinary body, not yet cultivated, with no backing, what capital did he have to be so arrogant? What capital did he have to challenge the Nine Holy Demon Sect?

"Since the written exam is over, let's quickly move on to the martial exam." Li Qiyi tapped the table lightly, speaking calmly and smiling faintly.

Li Qiyi's words were too arrogant. Without his earlier performance, the Nine Holy Demon Sect disciples would have drowned him in their唾沫. However, now, the Nine Holy Demon Sect disciples fell silent. Li Qiyi's earlier performance not only humiliated Xu Hui but also slapped the Nine Holy Demon Sect in the face.

Yu He looked at Li Qiyi strangely. As a strong figure qualified to be a king or marquis, as a great figure who could command the风云of a region, what storms had he not experienced?

Before, he thought Li Qiyi was terrifyingly ignorant, arrogant to the point of seeming insane. But now, upon closer reflection, he seemed to have real capital!

An ordinary person who had not even cultivated Dao techniques, what backing did he have to challenge the Nine Holy Demon Sect? Could it be that the Xianyan Ancient Sect had some secret weapon?

As the chief protector, Yu He immediately dismissed this thought. The Nine Holy Demon Sect knew the Xianyan Ancient Sect's situation very well. If the Xianyan Ancient Sect had any hidden cards to challenge the Nine Holy Demon Sect, they would not have been in such a difficult situation for so many years, and they would not have had to join the Treasure Saint Upper Kingdom!

Moreover, the Nine Holy Demon Sect had accurate information about Li Qiyi joining the Xianyan Ancient Sect. Li Qiyi had only become the chief disciple of the Xianyan Ancient Sect by holding the Xianyan Ancient Order, and even the six elders of the Xianyan Ancient Sect did not favor him.

What kind of power did such a person, with no backing and no support, have? This made Yu He completely baffled!

Regaining his composure, Yu He said slowly, "Now that Nephew Xu is not in good condition, since you want the martial exam, our Nine Holy Demon Sect can give you a different opponent."

"Protector, I am fine." At this moment, Xu Hui stood up again, standing straight. His face was pale, but he still held his head high. When his gaze fell on Li Qiyi, it was filled with intense hatred, as if he wanted to tear Li Qiyi apart, or even bite him to death!

He had been so humiliated by Li Qiyi. He swore that he would kill Li Qiyi with his own hands, make Li Qiyi wish he were dead, and wash away his humiliation with Li Qiyi's blood!

Xu Hui stood straight, maintaining his last shred of confidence, and said firmly to Yu He, "Protector, I can fight again!"

Yu He frowned slightly. He knew what Xu Hui was thinking and said slowly, "Nephew Xu, you are not in a suitable condition to fight."

This matter was of great importance to the Nine Holy Demon Sect. Li Qiyi had already won one round.

"Brother Yu, Xu Hui is a determined child. Even if he has been hit, he will not give up. He is someone who faces difficulties head-on. Give him a chance," Protector Xu pleaded for his disciple.

Xu Hui gritted his teeth, steeled his heart, and said solemnly, "Protector, if I fail in the martial exam, I will die to atone for the sect!" To avenge himself, he made a military oath!

Yu He pondered for a moment. Among the younger generation of disciples, Xu Hui had reached the True Destiny realm and was approaching the Huagai stage. At his age, he was already very outstanding in the Nine Holy Demon Sect. Among the younger generation, there were not many disciples stronger than him, and he had cultivated the Sage-level life technique, the "Fierce Slaughter Sword Technique"!

Yu He knew the power of this sword technique. If Xu Hui really went all out, it would be difficult to defeat him, even for the Xianyan Ancient Sect. In the younger generation of the Nine Holy Demon Sect, only a true genius like Leng Chengfeng could defeat him!

"Brother Yu, Xu Hui has always been strong. He will not fail. Give him a chance," Protector Xu said hurriedly.

Yu He thought for a moment. If even Yu He could not defeat him, then the only option for the younger generation of the Nine Holy Demon Sect would be to have a genius like Leng Chengfeng or Princess Li Yanshu herself to have a hundred percent chance of victory!

Moreover, Li Qiyi had not even cultivated Dao techniques. Yu He did not believe that Li Qiyi could defeat a True Destiny realm cultivator who had cultivated a Sage-level technique with martial skills alone!

"Alright, you will be the one to face him!" Finally, after much consideration, Yu He agreed to Xu Hui's request.
