Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1689 - 1693: Return to the Imperial City

Six Immortality Cultivators above the Late Stage of the Longevity Realm are considered masters within the Spiritual Domain.

But when they faced Qin Tian, they appeared much weaker.

Especially when Qin Tian unleashed his Red Sword, and rays of bloodthirsty light began to shine.

All six members of the one-eyed dragon team changed their expressions, sensing something was amiss.

It was too late to retreat; the bloodthirsty attribute of the Red Sword was already fully ignited, and with Qin Tian’s determination to kill, he decided to use these six ignorant fools as sacrifices. Under the swift thrusts of the Red Sword’s long glow, he killed them one by one, instantly!

Before the one-eyed dragon died, he stared at Qin Tian with fear in his eyes, trembling: "Small Immortal Realm... Small Immortal Realm powerhouse... so... so terrifying..."

A Small Immortal Realm powerhouse isn’t usually someone that instills dread within the Spiritual Domain, but the ominous killing intent Qin Tian exuded brought the one-eyed dragon unprecedented despair.

Six bodies lay before Qin Tian, each emitting a pale red glow, a unique aura left by the Red Sword after killings.

"I recently learned the method of controlling the Red Sword from the Chi Lian fox demon and haven’t had the chance to try it out until now."

Thinking this, Qin Tian sat cross-legged, murmured the mnemonic, and began channeling the True Qi emitted by the six corpses, gradually converging it into the Red Sword. He then established a connection with the sword, allowing the Qi absorbed by it to flow into his Dan Tian Qi Sea, transforming it into his own power.

This is a method akin to the Absorption Star Technique, enhancing cultivation greatly. After concentrating for three hours, Qin Tian finally absorbed it completely.

Exhaling a long breath, Qin Tian slightly opened his eyes, gazing at the Red Sword flying in the air before him. He smiled faintly: "The method from the Chi Lian fox demon works perfectly; I’ve advanced again! Small Immortal Realm Peak! Haha, these six really were a great boost!"

Qin Tian was somewhat amazed by the speed of his advancement while cultivating on the Spiritual Domain.

After collecting his emotions, although reluctant, Qin Tian lightly leaped and entered the exit light tunnel.

Cultivating on the Spiritual Domain brings fast advancements but isn’t sustainable, and it’s overly dangerous. After seven months of cultivation, Qin Tian reached his limit.

...

Twenty days later, at the gates of the Imperial City, a silhouette stood several miles away from the South City Gate, looking at the gates while clenching his fist: "Imperial City, I’m back!"

Returning to the Imperial City, Qin Tian carried a demeanor and strength much different from when he left.

Upon entering the Imperial City, Qin Tian didn’t head directly to the Qin Mansion; instead, he went to the Fourteenth Prince’s Wuyou Palace.

"Haha, Qin Tian, you’ve finally returned; if you hadn’t come back, I wouldn’t know how to keep making excuses to reply to my father."

Seeing Qin Tian’s return delighted the Fourteenth Prince, and he invited Qin Tian to dine and chat.

The main topics of conversation were naturally the Fourth Prince’s experiences outside and the results of Qin Tian’s cultivation on the Spiritual Domain.

By the time Qin Tian left Wuyou Palace, it was already dusk.

Returning alone to the Qin Mansion, the guards there couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw Qin Tian, thinking they were seeing things.

Yet, as Qin Tian’s personal soldiers, they naturally recognized him, causing a commotion throughout the mansion.

As soon as Qin Tian entered the courtyard of the Qin Mansion, Zhou Yang and the others excitedly came out to greet him.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

"Is it really you, Boss?!"

"Master!"

Zhou Yang and the others lined up to run up and warmly hug Qin Tian one by one.

"Are you all okay?"

After returning to the mansion, Qin Tian asked Zhou Yang about the situation in the Imperial City over the past eight months.

Zhou Yang smiled slightly: "We’re... it’s both good and not good. The good thing is we’re all safe, nothing happened, everything is smooth."

"As for the not good part... it’s that we’ve all been bullied; no matter who they are, they push us around. There’s talk outside that you, Boss, were killed or disappeared and wouldn’t return to the Imperial City. Because of this, others see we’re without a leader, naturally finding ways to bully us. Fortunately, we managed to deal with it all."

The group sat at the dining table in Qin Tian’s dining hall, starting to eat dinner.

Du Qiuniang’s face was brimming with an incredibly joyful smile, sitting beside Qin Tian, constantly serving him dishes: "Master, you’ve lost weight... eat more."

Qin Tian glanced at Du Qiuniang and asked Zhou Yang about the current state of the Imperial City.

Xiao Zhuang commented from the side: "Originally, the dispute between the Ninth Prince and the Crown Prince had reached a critical stage, but over the past month, both sides have been a lot quieter. I suspect it’s because the Cultivation Immortality List is entering a key phase for its update."

"Who currently has the upper hand, the Ninth Prince or the Crown Prince?" Qin Tian asked again.

"Hard to say." Xiao Zhuang and Zhou Yang shook their heads simultaneously.

Xiao Zhuang said: "The Ninth Prince is dazzlingly sharp, the Crown Prince is cunning, and there’s intervention from major figures like the Martial King. The situation remains uncertain."

Zhou Yang nodded: "Right, so this upcoming Cultivation Immortality List update is very crucial. Both the Ninth Prince and the Crown Prince want their people to secure a good rank on the list, to further plant their people within the dynasty and strengthen their power."

"No wonder you said they’re quiet now; turns out they’re prepping for a new round of conflict," Qin Tian smiled lightly, "The Tianyuan Dynasty has a tradition of valuing those ranked high on the Cultivation Immortality List. Their mutual preparation for competition is logical."

"Boss, you’ve changed."

While Qin Tian was discussing serious matters, Lin Yu suddenly spoke up, leaving Qin Tian a bit amused: "What? What did you say, Second Brother?"

"I said you’ve changed, Boss."

Lin Yu continued to gaze at Qin Tian: "Boss, your demeanor has become more unfathomable; do any of you share my feeling?"

"Indeed, there’s a change. Boss now carries an air of dominance," Xiao Zhuang commented.

Zhou Yang smiled faintly: "Looks like Boss gained quite a bit from his Spiritual Domain cultivation journey."

"Master, you’ve become a Small Immortal Realm expert, haven’t you?" Du Qiuniang asked warmly.

Qin Tian smiled lightly, but said nothing.

"Wow, Boss really became a Small Immortal Realm expert? Legend says this realm is the beginning of immortality!"

Zhou Yang and the others were incredibly surprised, their faces radiating with joy and pride.

Lin Yu clenched his fist and said confidently: "Now that Boss has become a Small Immortal Realm expert, I wonder who in the Imperial City would dare bully us! Boss, at this Cultivation Immortality List update, you’ll definitely make an outstanding impression!"
