Wang Qi swiftly walked along the paths surrounding Luochen Sword Palace, following Elder Ye Tianye of Luochen Sword Palace, searching for his target.

Since there might be issues with the three Great Elders, Wang Qi simply had them stay in the Quiet Room, claiming to the outside world that they were in seclusion, and instructed the Fourth Elder of Luochen Sword Palace to monitor them.

Among the Nascent Soul Stage Elders of Luochen Sword Palace, only Ye Tianye's realm was the highest, closest to the Void Refining Period.

At this moment, Wang Qi once again used the Transformation Divine Power to change his appearance, appearing not as "Xia Li." He transformed into an ordinary man with wheat-colored skin, obediently following behind Ye Tianye, just like a truly obedient disciple.

However, Ye Tianye seemed rather nervous, as if he didn't dare to accept Wang Qi's courtesy. His strength was firmly locked down to prevent any interaction between the Supreme Heart Demon Curse and the outside world. Since they were outside the Sword Palace, they had to be cautious and not immediately expose the Supreme Heart Demon Curse before confirming the situation with the Holy Emperor Venerable.

"Why panic? I've already made some progress in analyzing the Tai Chu Sword God Array and the Divine Country of the Holy Emperor Venerable. Now, I can temporarily shield the Holy Emperor Venerable's perception within a very small range around me. Do you understand that what we do now won't be sensed by the Holy Emperor Venerable?"

"Yes...yes..." Ye Tianye looked embarrassed, but felt a bit resentful inside.

Wang Qi could face the Holy Emperor Venerable without changing expression, but he couldn't!

"I'm not asking you to do much, just leading me around, and pointing out those who have had 'adventures' when we spot them. Is that so hard?"

"But the cultivators who have had adventures and obtained cultivation techniques are mostly in seclusion, rarely wandering around. It's not easy to encounter them on the street," Ye Tianye felt quite aggrieved.

"I encountered two on my first day on Spirit Phoenix Island, and you're telling me these people usually don't walk outside their sect?" Wang Qi was quite surprised.

"Well, that's because you came under the guise of Lian Yichen's disciple..."

This identity was quite provocative!

However, now Luochen Sword Palace was already aligned with Wang Qi. Ye Tianye also carefully pondered over Wang Qi's question.

"If we're truly looking, there's a martial arts arena outside the Heavenly Gate, where many low-level cultivators gather to fight, hoping to please the Holy Emperor Venerable," Ye Tianye said in a low voice. "There, we might find one or two of those lucky individuals..."

Wang Qi's purpose this time was to find those who, due to a certain "adventure," acquired special cultivation techniques.

Song Zhongqiao from the Golden Core Stage of Luochen Sword Palace, and Jia Chenglie from the Heavenly Book Tower, both belonged to this category of cultivators with special inheritances.

Among them, Jia Chenglie obtained a seemingly Confucian Absolute Skill called "Spring and Autumn Wind Moon Temple," while Song Zhongqiao obtained a nameless body refining technique and the Nine Dragon Nine Divine Fist.

Before coming out, Wang Qi captured Song Zhongqiao and handed him over to the Fourth Elder to interrogate the cultivation method obtained from the "adventure." Song Zhongqiao dared not defy his elder and had long confessed. According to Zhen Chan's perspective, this Nine Dragon Nine Divine Fist was indeed not the original version.

Wang Qi had already sent this cultivation technique, which was surely booby-trapped, to Jarvis for simulation and analysis.

However, with only one individual, it was impossible to provide enough clues and data. Thus, Wang Qi needed more subjects for observation.

This was also the reason he and Ye Tianye ventured out together.

During the following time, Wang Qi wandered around with Ye Tianye. They first went to the martial arts arena outside the Holy Gate. This was one of the few vibrant places on Spirit Phoenix Island. Here, many low-level cultivators earnestly engaged in combat in the martial arts arena.

"The sect of the Heaven Splitting Dao is the Dragon Gate; it's a broad path to Heavenly Communication." Ye Tianye looked at the young combatants with a complex expression, unsure if it was ridicule or envy: "As long as one demonstrates extraordinary talent and can earn a smile from the high-ranking members of the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao, they can be accepted into the sect."

Wang Qi was startled and asked, "So...the Holy Emperor Venerable is always watching here?"

Ye Tianye shook his head: "The Holy Emperor Venerable naturally doesn't have such intentions. He occasionally casts a glance here—this represents a slim chance, enough for these low-level disciples to risk their lives."

Wang Qi remained silent for a moment and said, "Foolish..."

"You might not understand, but for those cultivators without access to profound cultivation techniques, this is the only chance," Ye Tianye said in a low voice.

Wang Qi said no more, focusing intently on the combat in the arena. Most of these cultivators participating in the combat were in the Qi Cultivation Stage, with the highest barely reaching Foundation Establishment. Their battles held no secrets for Wang Qi. His purpose was to find traces of "adventure inheritance" in those participating in the skirmishes.

With Zhen Chan's guidance, Wang Qi gradually made discoveries.

"There are as many as five low-level cultivators suspected of having a 'fortunate encounter'... Is this really the area with the highest density?"

After careful observation, Wang Qi expressed such amazement.

In Luochen Sword Palace, out of ten thousand disciples, only Song Zhongqiao received the inheritance of the Nine Dragons Nine Gods Fist. No one else had this privilege.

And among the cultivators fighting in the pre-sanctuary martial arts arena, five people actually had such a fortunate encounter?

Is it easier to obtain a 'fortunate encounter' the closer one gets to the Holy Emperor Venerable, or do those who receive fortunate encounters tend to want to stand out?

I thought as I gently stirred my mana. Threads of mana, so faint as to be almost undetectable, spread out, merged into the air, and silently infiltrated the bodies of those five cultivators suspected of having a 'fortunate encounter.' The unity of my method made his mana unique, a technique only detectable by Unification Stage Cultivators.

Wang Qi temporarily didn't plan to directly use the Supreme Heart Demon Curse, so he only employed the Divine Plague Curse Technique. The mana within these cultivators was extremely weak and was completely infected upon contact with Wang Qi's power, leaving no secrets. As long as he was close, Wang Qi could read all the data.

As compensation, they could soon open two to three Tianying Acupoints.

But after doing all this, Wang Qi shook his head lightly: "Still not working. The cultivation level of the Qi Cultivation Stage is really too shallow to detect anything. Only Foundation Establishment Cultivators who begin to solidify their magic foundation can see some clues... If it were Golden Core Cultivators, it would be even better..."

Ye Tianye shook his head: "If you could wait until the Qionghua Conference, you could meet quite a few..."

Wang Qi shook his head: "If I could wait until then, I wouldn't need to be so urgent now to find the 'fortunate encounter people.' "

By that time, it would almost be time for the decisive battle!

At this moment, Ye Tianye sincerely planned for Wang Qi to ensure good capital on the Modern Cultivation side: "If you could extend some time, we might be able to find some 'fortunate encounter people' from other sects... Just in the name of discussing the Great Dao and expanding knowledge, inviting a group of low-level cultivators here would suffice. Although Luochen Sword Palace is currently down and out, we still have friends. If you want to find those fortunate encounter people, you can find three to five."

Wang Qi shook his head: "Forget it, for now, let's keep it as it is... If three to five, it's enough to collect some data."

The cultivation techniques passed down by the mysterious manipulator behind the scenes are truly all-encompassing, and Wang Qi needs some time to thoroughly analyze them. So, three to five would be enough for Wang Qi to analyze for a while.

Wang Qi initially wanted to trouble Jia Chenglie. Unfortunately, this 'fortunate encounter person' from the Heavenly Book Tower is currently being trained by the Unification Stage Elder of his own sect. Wang Qi temporarily doesn't have the confidence to act under the nose of the Unification Stage old monster.

After failing to search for the fortunate encounter people, Wang Qi remembered another matter: "By the way, Elder Ye. Besides the three Great Elders, are there any other cultivators who have received the punishment of being stripped of cultivation by the Emperor?"

Ye Tianye's eyelids drooped. He didn't know the current situation of the three Great Elders, so he naturally couldn't judge Wang Qi's intentions. He said in a low voice: "Stripping of cultivation punishment is rare, usually only used on Nascent Soul Stage, Divine Separation Stage cultivators who have made mistakes. Over the past two thousand years, only a hundred or so have received such punishment. Among those, aside from those who later perished in the confrontation with the Demon Clan and Modern Heretics, most gathered at the Life and Death Cliff for closed training."

"Life and Death Cliff? What kind of place is that?"

Ye Tianye responded: "To the south of the Underground City is a cliff. On top of that cliff, countless cultivators are in closed death practice. Closed death practice means succeeding or dying, no success means death or becoming martyr. Entering the Life and Death Cliff is extremely dangerous, one definitely won't come out unless succeeded. Therefore, entering the Life and Death Cliff is already half-step to life and death."

The Underground City of Spirit Phoenix Island is only slightly larger than the upper part of the island. Both are cultivators, under flying escape, they quickly reached the so-called Life and Death Cliff.

The Life and Death Cliff is very strange in appearance. Wang Qi could tell that Spirit Phoenix Island was formed from a volcanic island millions of years ago, mostly made of igneous rocks, some places on the dome still seemed to have traces of lava flowing. However, the main body of this Life and Death Cliff was a type of metamorphic rock, rugged and uneven. The Life and Death Cliff and Spirit Phoenix Island were completely incompatible, without a slightest sense of being meticulously crafted and naturally harmonious, instead filled with resentment and helplessness in the face of historical changes.

The Life and Death Cliff was originally the site where a Unification Stage cultivator closed death practice over two thousand years ago. For Unification Stage cultivators who can live for ten thousand years, a thousand years of closed practice is normal. Closed death practice can last for three thousand years. That Unification Stage cultivator didn't want to see the Holy Infant Sect grow and tried to impact the Mahayana Realm. Unexpectedly, only two hundred years into the closed practice, the Heavenly Selection God Monarch emerged out of nowhere. Then in just a hundred years, Modern Cultivation Methods grew continuously, Carefree Practitioners increasing each year, soon driving the Ancient Method out of Shenzhou Land. The Life and Death Cliff was moved there entirely by the sect of that Unification Stage cultivator.

Afterward, other cultivators gradually used this mountain peak's natural power isolating outer Spirit Sense to close death practice here. Gradually, this place became famous among the Ancient Method Practitioners on Spirit Phoenix Island.

Wang Qi squinted to observe the Life and Death Cliff outside. Inside the Life and Death Cliff, an inexplicable aura formed a piece. This mountain was moved by cultivators with Great Power, not large, yet it gave an illusion of towering into the clouds, unable to see the cliff top.

This is the accumulation of countless cultivators trying their utmost in despair.

Ye Tianye seizes the chance to whisper: "Here the guards are strict, men of ordinary means cannot enter, unless you must..."

Wang Qi shook his head, a mysterious gleam in his eye: "No need for now..."

"I have a feeling now. When I conquer 'here', that's the time the local network on Spirit Phoenix Island is complete."
