Chapter 7: In the Blink of an Eye, I’ve Become a Grandmaster!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In Taiyi Holy Land, cultivators in the Sixiang Realm were already considered the top few masters. They could split mountains and cleave stones, engage wild beasts in close combat, and were qualified to take on elder positions.

Many core disciples never even reached that level.

Qin Chen took out a bottle of precious pills from the system space and swallowed them. Immediately, visible to the naked eye, his injuries started to heal rapidly until he was back to his peak.

The movement of energy had shaken the surrounding areas, causing many strong wild beasts in the desolate mountains to submit to its power.

After feeling the power of the force, Qin Chen was quite satisfied.

After two years of cultivation, he had finally entered the Sixiang Realm. From that moment on, he could be considered an expert.

In Taiyi Holy Land, besides the elders, not many disciples had reached the Sixiang Realm.

Even in an immortal divine dynasty like the Great Qin Dynasty, very few princes and princesses could reach the Sixiang Realm before the age of 20. All who did were given special attention, richly nurtured and regarded as strong contenders for Imperial Lord in the future.

In other words, Qin Chen, the forsaken prince banished from the imperial family, had already surpassed many princes and princesses of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Of course, Qin Chen was aware of the dangers of the world. Sixiang Realm cultivators were considered experts in the mortal world, even in some small sects. But compared to immortal heritages like ancient families, immortal holy lands and ancient dynasties, they were still considered weak.

Those kinds of immortal heritages had Liuhe Realm great grandmasters, and even Qiyao Realm peerless kings.

When Qin Chen returned to Taiyi Holy Land, he continued to keep everything under wraps.

After two years, he felt that it was about time, so he headed to Taiyi Main Hall again.

Suddenly, as he was preparing to check in, an extremely beautiful woman appeared. She had silky smooth skin and unrivaled beauty. There was a unique coldness about her, and she exuded a powerful aura. She was already at level nine of Sancai.

It was Ling Ran from before. She had long become the Holy Daughter of Taiyi Holy Land.

A handsome young man walked out alongside her. He was Zhao Yi, the Holy Son of Taiyi Holy Land. He was also at level nine of Sancai.

As the incumbent Holy Son and Daughter of Taiyi Holy Land, they had been richly nurtured by the entire holy land. Therefore, it made sense for them to have reached the peak of the Sancai Realm when they were still only Qin Chen’s age.

When they appeared, Ling Ran glanced at Qin Chen, as if surprised that a handyman disciple would be there. On the other hand, Holy Son Zhao Yi completely ignored Qin Chen. He only smiled as he spoke with Ling Ran, and they left together.

After them, quite a number of official disciples walked out one after another. They looked at the well-matched Holy Son and Daughter with envy and said, “As expected of Taiyi Holy Land’s Holy Son and Daughter. They’ve both reached level nine of Sancai. In the next two years, I believe they’ll enter the Sixiang Realm, and be able to compete with the top talents of the Southern Desolate Lands.”

“That’s right. They’ve already reached level nine of Sancai at the age of 18. They are some of the top talents in history. Especially the Holy Daughter. She’s already at the peak of Sancai, and will probably enter the Sixiang Realm in half a year.”

“The Holy Daughter is extremely talented. It’s said that she has the Zixia Body, which is almost as good as the legendary Innate Dao Fetus!”

“Back then, the Holy Lord paid a huge price to fight for the Holy Daughter to join Taiyi Holy Land!”

The group of official disciples left, having similarly ignored Qin Chen completely.

Qin Chen calmly watched them leave. Two years to reach level nine of Sancai. Such cultivation speed was considered very fast, comparable even to the major King Bodies of the world.

Of course, it was nothing compared to his. He had a check-in system, which allowed him to advance from mortal to Sixiang Realm monster in two years.

However, the fact that Ling Ran had the Zixia Body, was indeed unexpected.

The Zixia Body was a legendary King Body. It was comparable to the Divine Body, Underworld King Body, Sun Divine Body, as well as other King Bodies. Upon mastery of it, the cultivator would become a sovereign venerable.

Of course, it was still far inferior to his Chaotic Holy Body.

“System, I want to check in here!”

Qin Chen quietly uttered in his heart.

[Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have received the Human King Seal.]

Qin Chen was quite surprised. Over the past two years, he had checked in at Taiyi Main Hall no less than ten times. As time passed, the rewards from places he could repeatedly check in to got worse and worse. He did not expect to obtain a powerful supernormal knowledge like the Human King Seal this time.

That supernormal knowledge was a heaven-grade advanced supernormal knowledge.

After cultivating to the Sixiang Realm, Qin Chen’s strength had increased greatly. It was easier for him to travel to other places within Taiyi Holy Land. 10,000 miles a day was no issue at all. As a result, he could check in to a lot more important places.

When he checked in in front of the Holy Lord’s mountain, he had obtained Taiyi Holy Land’s legendary supernormal knowledge, Taiyi Holy Technique.

When he checked in in front of the ancient herb garden, he obtained the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Precious Medicine.

When he checked in at the holy land’s deepest ancestral land, Void Abyss, he obtained the Ancient Void Technique.

…

It was only then that Qin Chen realized, although Taiyi Holy Land appeared to be a declining immortal holy land, it still contained countless historical remains. Furthermore, many ancient great emperors had clearly left their marks there.

When he checked in to various places within Taiyi Holy Land, he had actually successively obtained several imperial technique supernormal knowledges which were higher than heaven-grade. They had all come from ancient great emperors, or primordial emperors.

Qin Chen suspected that Taiyi Holy Land had been an ancient great emperor’s place of enlightenment in the primordial era. It was just that the long period of time had eroded everything away, causing most of the traces of the former great emperor to disappear. Taiyi Holy Land was extremely lucky to have been built on the remains of such a great emperor.

No wonder even the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had set foot there.

Qin Chen checked in and obtained countless treasures without stopping. His cultivation also improved continuously by leaps and bounds. He kept leaving Taiyi Holy Land in search of the wilderness, in order to undergo tribulations and upgrade.

In the blink of an eye, eight years had passed.

It was Qin Chen’s 10th year of checking in.

He was now a 26-year-old young man. During that period, he had kept a low profile and did not display the slightest bit of talent in cultivation. He only showed a passable level of martial arts cultivation, and continued to sweep all around the sect.

Of course, he would also take such opportunities to secretly check in at various important and forbidden places.

In the past few years, Qin Chen had actually witnessed many handyman disciples work hard to secretly watch and learn cultivation from the official disciples. They hoped to also one day step onto the path of cultivation. However, they had not succeeded.

Those who had been assessed and assigned to become handyman disciples had very ordinary talent, and very slim hopes.

On the other hand, Qin Chen was calm. If he had not received the system, he would definitely have hoped to become an official disciple. He might even have behaved like the other handyman disciples. After all, he had heard so many mysterious and wonderful things before transmigrating from earth. He had also hoped to cultivate to become an immortal.

But he was no longer the same person. After checking in for 10 years, he had entered the fifth realm, the Wuxing Realm.

That’s right, the Wuxing Realm. He could now be called a grandmaster.

Any cultivator who had reached the Wuxing Realm could become a grandmaster. In an immortal holy land at its peak, ancient family or ancient dynasty, he would definitely qualify as an elder. It was a position everyone aimed for.

In those ten years, Qin Chen had obtained countless pills, precious medicine, spirit stones, supernormal knowledge, secret techniques, and so on. With his heaven-defying Chaotic Holy Body and the Chaotic Imperial Sutra, his cultivation had advanced at a tremendous pace. Liangyi in one month, Sancai in three years, Sixiang in four years, and Wuxing in six years.

Four years ago, he had reached the Wuxing Realm and become a grandmaster.

Today, he was now already at level nine of the Wuxing Realm. He was one of the top great cultivators in the entire Taiyi Holy Land. Only the Holy Lord who had entered the Liuhe Realm, as well as any old fogeys who might be hiding their abilities, could defeat him. No one else was his match.

Taiyi Holy Land was merely a declining holy land, after all. How many Liuhe Realm grandmasters could it possibly have? It was far inferior to ancient families, holy lands, ancient dynasties and other immortal forces that were currently at their peaks.

Moreover, the Chaotic Holy Body was undefeatable among others of the same level. It also had the power to slash immortals and cross many small realms to battle.

For example, at level one of the Wuxing Realm, Qin Chen could easily defeat those at levels seven, eight, and even nine of the Wuxing Realm.

That was the amazing thing about the Chaotic Holy Body.

Having cultivated until level nine of the Wuxing Realm, Qin Chen was confident of crushing a regular Liuhe Realm great grandmaster easily.

But even after reaching that level of cultivation, Qin Chen still had not exposed himself. He did not even have the slightest intention of doing that.

He knew how scary the cultivation world was. The so-called Wuxing Realm grandmasters might be the most invincible in the mortal world, or even in numerous small sects. However, they were far behind ancient families, holy lands, ancient dynasties and other immortal forces.

As the former 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, and his mother previously one of the most powerful figures around, Qin Chen knew a lot despite being a mortal.

Those immortal heritages were not like Taiyi Holy Land, where Wuxing Realm grandmasters could become supreme elders. Only Liuhe Realm great grandmasters qualified. Furthermore, their imperial lords, holy lords and family heads were all Qiyao Realm kings. Some were even Bahuang Realm venerables.

Within the insanely strong Canglan Continent, cultivators in the Wuxing Realm were merely considered small cultivators. So Qin Chen had to be careful.

Qin Chen was very steady and cautious. He thought that he should be careful even after reaching the Liuhe Realm.

That day, as Qin Chen was sweeping the floor, he saw many disciples flying across the sky like rainbows.

He heard the conversation among some of them as they passed by. “The Holy Son and Daughter have gone to the Demon Sealing Land to explore. Let’s go take a look!”
