Chapter 65

The Qi Master realm, the Ninth Heaven of the Qi Sea, although only one level higher than the Armored Warrior realm, has trapped countless geniuses, preventing them from advancing!

Reaching this level not only enhances one's strength but also brings a qualitative leap in one's lifespan and physical constitution!

The lifespan of an Armored Warrior is no different from that of an ordinary person, only living for about seventy to eighty years. However, a Qi Master is different; if nothing unexpected happens, they can live up to 140 years! This is twice the lifespan of a normal cultivator!

The most amazing thing about reaching the Qi Master level is not just the extended lifespan. More astonishingly, once this realm is reached, one's mental state will also undergo a qualitative leap, allowing one to communicate with the elemental energy of heaven and earth, making one more in tune with nature and enabling one to display abilities beyond those of a normal cultivator!

For example, the Eye of Nature can see everything within ten miles as if it were right in front of you. The Ear of Nature can hear any sound within a ten-mile radius, truly achieving perfect hearing!

Precisely because the Qi Master realm is so difficult to attain and comes with many special abilities, no one in Luoshui City has reached this level in a hundred years. Even in the entire Divine Wind Empire, there are very few. Whenever one appears, they are immediately ennobled as a king and become a true core of the empire!

Of course, this ennoblement does not elevate one's bloodline; it is merely an honor bestowed by the imperial royal family.

With this honor, one can receive medicinal herbs from the imperial spirit medicine repository for free, and weapons from the armory for free. Within the Divine Wind Empire, one will be treated as a VIP wherever they go, and can even be granted a fiefdom!

In short, the Qi Master and the Armored Warrior realms are two completely different concepts. Reaching the Qi Master realm is like ascending to the heavens, becoming a person above others!

The heads of the three major families are all at the peak of the Armored Warrior realm, and they are always thinking of ways to advance. However, the gap between the Armored Warrior and the Qi Master realms is like an insurmountable chasm. When they suddenly heard Nie Haotian mention the possibility of advancing to the Qi Master realm, their eyes all widened, and they were no longer as relaxed as before.

"How can one advance to the Qi Master realm? Is what Clan Leader Haotian said true?"

Feng Tianxing, breathing rapidly, was the first to ask.

"Of course it's true. Otherwise, do you think I'm just doing this for fun, to suppress the branch members of my own clan!" Seeing the change in everyone's attitude, Nie Haotian gave them a disdainful look and spoke without holding back.

"You mean that Nie Yun from the Nie Tian branch knows how to advance to the Qi Master realm?" Yang Tiecheng, understanding Nie Haotian's meaning, asked urgently.

"Nie Yun? No! It's his father, Nie Xiaotian!" Nie Haotian knew that to gain their support, he couldn't hide anything, so he spoke directly.

"Nie Xiaotian? The champion of the Luoshui Talent Competition and the recipient of the Luoshui Golden Shield?"

"Back then, he was only at the peak of the Armored Warrior realm and hadn't broken through to the Qi Master realm, right!"

"How do we know if your information is true? How can we trust you?"

Hearing that Nie Xiaotian had a method to break through to the Qi Master realm, everyone was stunned, and their faces showed confusion.

If Nie Xiaotian really had such a good thing, he should have already broken through to the Qi Master realm, right? How did he end up becoming a waste due to a cultivation mishap?

"I knew you wouldn't believe me. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. In fact, Nie Xiaotian didn't have a cultivation mishap. I gave him a drug that damaged his Qi Sea, causing his strength to plummet and turning him from a genius into a waste! Even his nephew, Nie Tong, was paralyzed in both legs by a venomous snake I released when he was only three years old. My purpose was to force him to reveal the method to break through to the Qi Master realm. But this guy would rather pretend to be crazy than say it. If it weren't for the fact that he was the recipient of the Luoshui Golden Shield, I would have captured and interrogated him long ago!"

Nie Haotian's face was twisted with malice.

"You drugged Nie Xiaotian to damage his Qi Sea? And you released a venomous snake to paralyze a three-year-old child?"

Hearing Nie Haotian admit to these secrets from years ago, everyone was appalled by his cruelty.

Nie Xiaotian was his cousin, known as the first person in Luoshui City in a hundred years and the greatest hope of the clan. Such a promising person who could lead the clan to glory, and he drugged him? As for Nie Tong, it was said that he was paralyzed in both legs by a venomous snake when he was only three years old. Attacking a three-year-old child was truly ruthless and cruel!

Of course, everyone knew that Nie Haotian was not boasting but was making a pledge to gain their trust, just like a blood oath!

Only the method to advance to the Qi Master realm could make a clan leader so crazy!

"That's right. The brother and younger brother of Nie Xiaotian from the Nie Tian branch were also killed by me. I wanted to capture his son, Nie Yun, for two reasons: one, this kid has ruined my plans several times; two, I planned to use him to threaten Nie Xiaotian and get what I wanted!"

Nie Haotian said through gritted teeth.

"I see!"

The matter involving Nie Yun and the City Lord's Mansion had caused a big stir, and the heads of the various families naturally wanted to understand who this kid was and why he had offended the Nie family!

It wasn't difficult to find out about Nie Yun. Soon, everyone learned about his battles with the law enforcement team and the Black Shadow Guard. At the time, they were all puzzled by how Nie Yun, at the peak of the Fourth Heaven of the Qi Sea, could kill a Chenggang realm expert, showing potential that even surpassed Nie Xiaotian's in his prime!

Usually, when a family produces such a talented person, they would treat them well, fearing they might betray the family. But Nie Haotian did the opposite, suppressing him more and more. Now they understood the root of the matter!

Nie Xiaotian had the secret to advancing to the Qi Master realm, so it wasn't surprising that his son could challenge higher realms!

Everyone felt enlightened!

"As long as you help me force the City Lord's Mansion to stop interfering with the Nie Tian branch, I will share the method to advance to the Qi Master realm with all of you when I get it from Nie Xiaotian. What do you say?" Nie Haotian stated his purpose.

"Clan Leader Haotian, you're really good at planning. Let's not even talk about whether you can get the method to advance to the Qi Master realm. If you get it and advance to the Qi Master realm, we won't be able to do anything about it even if you don't tell us! You're asking us to offend the City Lord's Mansion without any benefits. That's a bit too much, isn't it?"

Chen Tongsheng, a businessman, never did a losing deal. He sneered at Nie Haotian's words.

"Right, if you don't offer any benefits, you're asking us three major families to risk offending the City Lord. Your plan is too good!"

Yang Tiecheng also realized this.

"If I get the method to advance to the Qi Master realm and don't tell all of you, may I be tortured and bitten by demons for several days until I die!" Nie Haotian, seeing everyone's doubts, flipped his palm and made a vow.

The vow of being tortured and bitten by demons was the most terrifying, even surpassing the vow of being struck by five thunderbolts. Seeing him make such a vow, everyone was taken aback.

"I've made my vow. If you still don't believe me, I can't do anything about it. But I advise you to believe me. This is the best opportunity to advance to the Qi Master realm. If you miss it, you'll just have to wait!"

After making his vow, Nie Haotian waved his hand and fell silent, waiting for their response.

PS: What's going on? Why can't I vote for my own book with my own recommendation votes? It's forbidden to vote? This is ridiculous! Yesterday, they deducted my recommendation votes, and I didn't say anything. Why are they targeting me, a small fry, instead of the big shots who are buying votes? If I were to buy votes, I wouldn't just buy a hundred or two a day!

I'm going crazy. Everyone, try to see if you can vote for recommendation. Even if we get our votes deducted, we have to push forward. I don't believe we can't make it to the front page!
