He began his journey to becoming a true immortal by causing others to fail their tribulations.

[The host has successfully disrupted Han Xi's tribulation and caused Han Xi's death and dissipation.]

Overall rating: Grade A.

[Special reward for the host: Nine Heavens Thunder Array.]

[Nine Heavens Thunder Formation - Once set up, it will attract heavenly lightning to attack targets within the formation.]

The formation can operate autonomously or be controlled by the host for more precise strikes.

The higher the grade of the materials used to set up the formation, the greater the power of the heavenly lightning.

The host can also use the heavenly lightning of the formation to temper themselves.

With the system's notification, Xun Yan was certain that Han Xi was completely dead and there was no need to go up and finish him off.

"It wasn't for nothing that I acted for so long; the reward is pretty good. This formation is enough for a lifetime."

After muttering to himself, Xun Yan looked around.

Although the man-made cave dwelling is quite large, it seems that there are not many opportunities for its inhabitants.

There was only one box placed neatly on a stone table.

After calming his mind, Xun Yan conjured another clone and had it go over and open the box.

While the clone function is useful, each use consumes at least 20% of one's spiritual energy.

If the clones are used in battle, they will continuously consume spiritual energy. When the spiritual energy reserves are not particularly abundant, the clones can only be used sparingly.

However, to avoid any traps inside the box, this expenditure is still necessary.

Click.

With a crisp sound, the box was opened by the clone.

No traps were triggered, and no danger was encountered.

Inside the box was a spatial ring. The clone picked it up and examined it carefully. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he turned around and took the spatial ring back to Xun Yan.

The spatial ring had no restrictions. After Xun Yan dispersed his clone, he only needed to inject a little spiritual power to easily examine the contents inside.

"Mid-grade spirit stones, not bad, a good form of currency. They can be useful for both cultivation and trading."

There were also quite a few low-grade Taoist and magical techniques, but none of them really suited me. I'll exchange them for sect contribution points after I leave..."

Finally, Xun Yan's attention fell on an exquisite jade plaque, which made his eyes light up.

This is a "transmission jade tablet," which usually records good things.

Sure enough, it contained a record of a supernatural power called "Earth Concealment Technique".

In addition to consuming one's own spiritual power, magical arts often require the assistance of external objects and the spiritual energy and energies of heaven and earth.

If the environment is unsuitable, the power and effect of certain spells will be greatly reduced.

Once supernatural powers are successfully cultivated, they become equivalent to one's own talent, allowing one to use them without the aid of external objects.

External objects and forces generally only serve to enhance existing beauty.

Once you learn the "Earth Concealment Technique," you can burrow underground, greatly concealing your presence and allowing for rapid movement.

However, although it is a supernatural power, it still has certain limitations due to its low rank.

For example, this supernatural power cannot be used on rivers, lakes, or the sea.

Unless you dive all the way down to the bottom.

But for Xun Yan now, this supernatural power of the "Earth Concealment Technique" is like a pillow delivered to someone who is already sleepy.

Another point is that this spatial ring itself is a stroke of luck.

The ring has a space of over a hundred cubic meters, allowing it to store a lot of things.

After putting on the spatial ring and having it recognize its owner, Xun Yan went to Han Xi's corpse.

With just a light touch, Han Xi's corpse turned into charred remains on the ground, allowing Xun Yan to immediately spot the storage bag on his body.

Because it had been struck by lightning, the storage bag was charred black, and the space inside had become extremely unstable, with the possibility of collapsing at any moment.

Xun Yan quickly took everything out of the container.

If space collapses and these things fall into the spatial turbulence, it's like scattering a handful of sand into the ocean; they'll probably never see them again in this lifetime.

Because the spaces would conflict with each other, it's impossible to create a nested storage doll-like structure like storage bags containing other storage items.

Therefore, Han Seok's storage bag was stuffed full.

Besides his own belongings, it's easy to see that many of his items belonged to other disciples.

If these items weren't given to Han Xi by his fellow disciples, then there's only one explanation.

That means Han Xi plundered these things from his fellow disciples after betraying them.

However, considering that Han Xi was an undercover agent of the Hehuan Sect, his actions against the Piaomiao Sect could not be considered a betrayal.

Although Han Xi didn't have any Hehuan Sect items on him to avoid being exposed, Xun Yan still found a sound-recording stone.

With just a little spiritual energy injected, the sound-recording stone began playing the sounds within:

"The investigation has been completed. Xun Yan is a newly recruited undercover agent in the Misty Sect; he's one of that woman's men."

The Holy Maiden meant that although Xun Yan was only an outer disciple, nothing and no one beneficial to that woman could exist.

The voice that spoke was a cold, aloof female voice. Xun Yan thought carefully, and neither he nor the original owner of the body had ever heard this voice before.

Either this person isn't from the outer sect, or they're simply from the Hehuan Sect.

"I will find an opportunity to kill Xun Yan, but I will not do it myself. I haven't gotten my hands on the things in the Thunderous Secret Realm yet." This time it was Han Xi who spoke.

"No problem, let Pan Qie go ahead and see if we can get him into the inner sect of the Misty Sect."

"it is good."

The sound recorder only recorded so many sounds, but it still contained a lot of information.

Xun Yan stroked his smooth chin and murmured to himself:

"Fortunately, Han Xi also knows how to leave a trace of his work. He secretly recorded the audio. It turns out that he had been suppressing himself because he had his eye on something in the Thunderous Secret Realm. But is it really necessary?"

Aside from the Earth Concealment Technique, the other techniques are only useful up to the Foundation Establishment stage; they become largely useless at higher cultivation levels.

And who is that woman they're talking about? Is she someone who infiltrated the Misty Sect before?

The other party must be of high status, otherwise why would the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect keep thinking about them?

Moreover, that woman seems to be the original owner's superior; the original owner was just an ordinary outer disciple before.

So I've been left to my own devices, but as my cultivation level improves, will that woman come looking for me?

"Forget it, there's no use thinking too much now. As long as I'm strong enough, even if they come looking for me, I can turn the tables and control them."

After storing everything usable into his spatial ring, Xun Yan carefully inspected the cave dwelling again to make sure nothing was missing.

He didn't intend to leave just like that.

The strange energy fluctuations in the Thunderous Realm have not yet been fully investigated.

He doesn't need to solve the problem; as long as he can discover it and record it with a recording stone, he can get more sect rewards.

For him now, it is still very necessary to strengthen himself as soon as possible.

Before that, he planned to learn the Earth Concealment Technique. With this supernatural ability, even if he encountered any danger, it would be easier to escape.

The purpose of the Jade Transmission Token is to make it easier for people to learn the skills contained within.

In addition, Xun Yan himself was quite talented, and his body, soul, and spiritual sea had been tempered by heavenly lightning several times.

In just half a day, he had a basic grasp of this supernatural power.

When Xun Yan finished adjusting and walked out of the cave, it was already completely dark outside.

That's why Xun Yan could see at a glance a wisp of purple mist rising in the distance like cooking smoke.
