Qin Yi didn't know what level his cultivation was now. He always knew that the cultivation technique he practiced was different from ordinary people, powerful and domineering, able to leap several levels to fight.
This time, this feeling was even more obvious.
After Foundation Establishment comes the Golden Core stage, and he had two cores in his body, so he considered himself to be at the Golden Core Stage.
Feeling the surging power within, Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Roar!
The Stone Ape blocking the sect was startled by Qin Yi's laughter and let out an angry roar.
The Stone Ape roared, lifting its mountain-like foot to stomp down on Qin Yi.
Qin Yi did not dodge or evade, his five fingers abruptly clenched into a fist.
Boom!
An astonishing explosion resonated from the swirling purple light, and the mountain-like foot of the Stone Ape froze midair, engulfed by the purple light, not knowing what had happened.
Qin Yi's mouth curved in a smile, he lightly waved his hand, the purple light dissipated, and from midair, dust and debris poured down, forming a mound of ash on the ground.
The several dozen meters tall Stone Ape, was crushed to powder by Qin Yi in midair.
"Hmph, try restoring that and let me see."
Qin Yi sneered softly, striding forward and pushing with a hand, the towering stone gate of several dozen feet opened soundlessly.
A gentle white light shone from the slowly opening stone gate.
With a skilled confidence, Qin Yi stepped inside.
Entering the palace, Qin Yi was astonished.
It was an extremely lavish palace, one could say it was garishly magnificent, with a dozen enormous stone pillars supporting the dome, each carved with large reliefs of auspicious beasts and gilded with gold paint.
A soft carpet extended directly into the hall.
On the walls on both sides, auspicious beasts were also engraved, lifelike in appearance.
In short, the entire palace, apart from the red carpet on the floor, was a dazzling golden hue.
"Wow, who has such bad taste, it's utterly vulgar."
Qin Yi looked at the stone columns, complaining about the vulgarity of the place's owner one second, then inwardly admiring their refined taste the next.
Because the palace was brightly lit, not by lamps, but by Luminous Pearls emitting soft white light.
These were definitely Luminous Pearls, with one on each stone pillar.
Qin Yi leapt into the air, but... he jumped, and jumped again, but damn it, the space above was sealed, he couldn't fly up.
Qin Yi's expression remained impassive, but inside he was shocked. It could be understood if he couldn't fly before, but with his current greatly improved cultivation, he still couldn't break the restriction above.
The owner here truly had some skill; the array technique was executed superbly. No wonder they dared to call themselves the Array Emperor.
Qin Yi reluctantly glanced at the Luminous Pearls on the column, then regretfully continued forward.
He walked about a hundred meters when he suddenly stopped, his whole body tensing abruptly.
A hundred meters away, there was a giant golden platform, like a stage, embellished with gold paint and gemstones.
On the platform, there was a golden throne big enough to serve as a bed, with a figure seated atop.
"Who are you?" Qin Yi shouted.
For a long time, there was no response from the other party.
Qin Yi cautiously approached, and when he was about thirty meters from the platform, the person on the throne suddenly spoke: "Bold, you dare to trespass in this king's bedchamber, do you realize your crime?"
The voice rolled like thunder, causing Qin Yi's Qi and blood to surge, his expression changing drastically.
"I am Qin Yi, accidentally trespassing on your territory, please forgive me," Qin Yi hastily apologized.
This person had terrifying cultivation; just speaking calmly they caused his eardrums to ache and his Qi and blood to surge. Their cultivation was unpredictably powerful.
With his current cultivation level, for someone to still intimidate him like this, they must be truly formidable.
Qin Yi was not one to be unwise; when it was time to yield, he yielded. A man should be flexible; nothing is more important than preserving one's life.
The person on the throne did not speak again, only silently observing Qin Yi.
Qin Yi also observed the other, who looked very young, but given their cultivation likely wasn't actually young, only appearing so. They were very handsome, with a face like white jade, wearing black brocade, their hair cascading freely behind, seeming carefree and unrestrained.
However, Qin Yi felt something odd about this person's expression, a mix of playfulness with some nonchalance.
"Hahaha..."
The man on the throne suddenly laughed, his laughter hearty yet startling Qin Yi.
"Good, not bad," the man stopped laughing and said.
Qin Yi blinked, thinking this guy must be crazy, right?
"Are you the owner here?" Qin Yi asked.
"To be able to break through my Void Array and Puppetry Technique to reach here, you kid are not bad, I am quite pleased," the person said.
Qin Yi was completely puzzled; the other was completely off-topic.
"I once said, anyone who reaches me will be granted a great fortune. You may rise, no need to kneel."
Qin Yi looked at the person in confusion, thinking are they blind? When did I kneel?
"Kid, get up, don't kneel. Though I carry a natural presence, it's not my fault. I also dislike kneeling," he continued.
Qin Yi looked at the person, "Are you okay?"
He always thought the owner here was a pervert, and if this was the owner, then his guess was spot on. Not only were they a pervert, but they were also crazy.
The person on the throne once again replied off-topic, extending a hand to tap the armrest, as if triggering some mechanism.
Rumble!
The ground shook slightly, and Qin Yi became instantly alert.
Rumble, rumble…!
The sound came from beside the platform; the stone bricks on the ground slowly moved aside, a gold table-sized platform slowly rose with three drawer-sized jade boxes on it, contents unknown.
"Alright, the fortune I grant you is in those jade boxes, go take them," said the figure.
Qin Yi was delighted, the jade boxes themselves were valuable, who knew what treasures lay within?
