Chapter 36
The things left behind by my father: Seven Killing Techniques!
Qin Yi finally reached the bottom of the Starry Cave.
But at this moment, he had a splitting headache, and cracks appeared all over his body, from which blood was flowing out.
Just now, by using the pressure of the Starry Cave to forcibly fuse the three perfect sword intents, he caused considerable damage to his physical body and soul.
"Fortunately, you cultivated the Primordial Demonic Art and tempered your body with baleful energy on a daily basis. You also condensed a top-grade golden core. Otherwise, if you had rashly fused three perfect sword intents, an ordinary Cave Heaven Realm cultivator would have either had their soul annihilated or their physical body shattered." Ding Ye's voice rang out.
Qin Yi grinned and said, "I knew I could handle it, because you didn't stop me, Master Ding."
Inside the small cauldron's space, a stunningly beautiful woman in a white dress, her flawless face showing a hint of helplessness, muttered softly, "I was actually a little distracted just now..."
Qin Yi naturally didn't hear those words.
At this moment, disregarding the injuries to his body and soul, he was surveying the environment at the bottom of the Starry Cave.
At the bottom of the Starry Cave lies another world, extremely vast, exuding a sense of desolation and vicissitude.
"Where exactly is the thing my father left me?" Qin Yi murmured.
This place is so big, how am I supposed to find it?
But just as Qin Yi finished speaking...
A beam of light, like a shooting star, streaked across the sky.
This beam of light flew to Qin Yi's front.
As the light faded, what appeared in Qin Yi's sight was a square box.
Qin Yi stretched out his hands and held the box. At this moment, his emotions were turbulent and he was far from calm.
Since his parents disappeared when he was six years old, Qin Yi has missed them every moment.
He knew that his parents must have had many unavoidable reasons for leaving him in the Qin family.
Now, twelve years have passed, and he can finally touch the traces left by his father again...
Qin Yi was both nervous and expectant, yet also uneasy.
He desperately wanted to find clues and learn the truth.
I was also afraid that there were no instructions in the box.
"We've got them all, let's just open them and take a look," said Master Ding.
"Hmm!" Qin Yi took a deep breath and then carefully opened the box.
What came into view was a mask.
The mask was as ferocious as a vengeful ghost, exuding a cruel intent, and it bore some resemblance to the demonic image Qin Yi visualized while cultivating the Primordial Demonic Art.
Qin Yi frowned and picked up the mask. The mask was icy cold to the touch, with a chilling aura.
And beneath the mask was a letter.
Qin Yi took out the letter, put the mask back into the box, and then quickly opened the letter.
Yi'er:
When you receive this letter, it means you have grown up. Before you are even twenty, you have mastered at least three kinds of perfect satisfaction. Dad is proud of you.
Upon seeing this line of text, Qin Yi felt a lump in his throat, and he couldn't help but recall the image of his father gently rubbing his head with his warm hand whenever he praised him when he was young.
He continued reading.
Yi'er, your father and mother have something to do and have to leave. Perhaps... you will hate us all these years.
Your parents dare not ask for your forgiveness.
After all, we really didn't fulfill our responsibilities as parents.
The reason your father left this mask for you at Tianxing Martial Academy is because he felt that your ability to enter the bottom of Xingyi Cave at the young age of twenty proved that you were capable of controlling the power behind this mask.
This mask is a symbol of the Lord of Purgatory.
Purgatory is an assassin organization.
My father once became a member of Purgatory by chance, and then cultivated the Seven Killing Techniques of Purgatory, eventually inheriting the position of Lord of Purgatory.
The Seven Killings Technique is passed down within the mask. This technique is extremely difficult to master, so you should be mentally prepared.
Moreover, when practicing the Seven Killings Technique, one must firmly guard one's original mind and not lose oneself.
Once you have successfully mastered the Seven Killings Technique, you will be able to control the life and death of all members of Purgatory.
However, even so, you still have to be careful, after all, the people of Purgatory are all ruthless.
When you decide to gradually take control of the power of Purgatory, first find a person called Blood Slaughterer. He is ostensibly a wandering cultivator, but in reality, he is a core member of Purgatory.
If you are not prepared to take over the power of Purgatory, then put the mask back in the box. After a certain period of time, the power that Father left in the box will erupt and destroy the mask.
Yi'er, your father and mother are sorry.
Your parents hope you are safe, healthy, and happy.
Finally, don't contact us... No matter what you hear about us, don't believe it and ignore it.
Upon seeing the last line of text, tears welled up in Qin Yi's eyes.
He read every word of the letter again carefully.
As expected, the letter contained no clues related to the disappearance of his parents...
Qin Yi took a deep breath, composed himself, and then put the letter into his storage ring. He then took the hideous mask out of the box once again.
"Seven Killings Technique?" Qin Yi muttered to himself, then put the mask on his face.
In an instant, the inheritance of the Seven Killings Technique flooded into Qin Yi's mind.
This is an extremely bloodthirsty lineage, but compared to the Primordial Demonic Art, it is nothing.
Even when Qin Yi cultivated the Primordial Demonic Art, he wouldn't get lost in that terrifying demonic nature. He felt that cultivating the Seven Killings Technique wouldn't be difficult at all.
After briefly experiencing the inheritance of the Seven Killings Technique, Qin Yi put the mask into his storage ring.
He didn't know what the Purgatory assassin organization was all about; he would find out after leaving the Starry Cave.
If it's very powerful, then many people should know about it.
Of course, there's also the possibility that it was once very strong... but maybe it's gone now, or perhaps it has declined; anything is possible.
Qin Yi then stayed in the Starry Cave to heal his injuries.
One day later, it was time for him to enter the Starry Cave for nine days.
A beam of spiritual light descended, enveloping his entire body and teleporting him away.
He returned to his residence.
Inside the room, they found a note left by Yun Meng'er.
"Brother Qin, I'm focusing on my cultivation. If you come out of the Starry Cave and miss me, just knock on the door of my cultivation chamber, and I'll come out to keep you company immediately."
A smile appeared on Qin Yi's face, but he did not disturb Yun Meng'er's cultivation.
"Junior Brother Qin."
Just then, a woman's voice came from outside the courtyard.
Qin Yi opened the courtyard gate and saw Feng Linglong.
"I heard you came out of the Starry Cave, so I rushed over to see. You stayed inside for nine days. Have you reached the Great Perfection of the Gale Sword Intent?"
"If you don't have one, I'll lend you my Wind Spirit Root right now."
Qin Yi noticed that Feng Linglong had deliberately painted her perfectly shaped lips red.
Feng Linglong treated him well.
Qin Yi thought it best to help Feng Linglong improve her wind spiritual root, so he nodded and said, "Senior Sister Feng, let's go inside and talk."
"Hmm!" Feng Linglong's face lit up with joy, and then she entered Qin Yi's room.
"Here you go." Feng Linglong took out a thread-bound book and handed it to Qin Yi, saying, "You have already mastered the Gale Sword Intent. Our Great Wind Dynasty's mid-grade Earth Rank Wind Shadow Without Trace Movement Technique should be very suitable for you to cultivate."
Qin Yi nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Feng."
He took the movement technique manual and said, "Senior Sister Feng, let's begin."
"Okay!" Feng Linglong hugged Qin Yi generously, and then slowly transferred the wind spirit root to Qin Yi little by little.
Qin Yi discovered that Feng Linglong's spiritual root was not only sweet today, but also very fragrant.
A good quarter of an hour passed before Feng Linglong's spiritual root was finally completely transferred to Qin Yi.
The two parted ways.
With her face flushed and panting, Feng Linglong suddenly whispered in Qin Yi's ear, "Junior Brother Qin, if you'd like, you can take it a step further..."
