Chapter 348 – The Beast God's Probing!

The shock came quickly and faded just as fast.

A flood of knowledge surged within her skull.

After a moment.

Li Qinghe finally emerged from her daze, though her head still throbbed faintly—a lingering aftereffect as if pierced by a thousand silver needles.

But compared to what she had gained, this pain was utterly insignificant!

“Master’s private tutoring is truly formidable,” she marveled inwardly, closing her eyes to perceive the newly acquired knowledge.

The Evolving Sky Formation, the Earthfire Formation… a dazzling array of formation names now converged in her mind, clarity dawning as if a veil had been lifted.

With just a slight recollection, she could recall every detail of the array inscriptions.

This was no mere private tutoring—it was a grand feast!

If she had tried to learn these abstruse concepts on her own, it would have taken at least two or three years. Yet now, in an instant, they had all gathered in her mind, transforming into subconscious understanding.

All that remained was to find time to digest it all.

What surprised Li Qinghe even more was…

Beyond the orthodox methods, there were even Evil Cult arrays included?!

“Sucking marrow from humans, using white bones as array lines…”

Reading this, she was utterly bewildered. “Has Master’s research really spanned such breadth? Even delving into Evil Cult arrays?”

If Qin Yang were ever to fall into the Evil Cult’s ranks, Li Qinghe dared not imagine the apocalyptic scenario that would ensue…

“Awake?”

Noticing her rousing, Qin Yang spoke up, leisurely picking up a piece of cabbage with his chopsticks. “These methods are quite profound—they’ll keep you occupied for a while… If there’s anything you don’t understand later, just ask me. Don’t go accusing me of favoritism again.”

“Mmm… Master, you’re the best to your disciples!”

Li Qinghe nodded vaguely, her expression complicated. Remembering the arrays she had just perceived, she fidgeted with the hem of her clothes and hesitantly asked, “Master, among the knowledge you transmitted to me, why are there arrays that feast on blood and flesh? Do you also study Evil Cult methods?”

She then added anxiously, “Please don’t ever lose yourself to demonic cultivation…”

“Evil Cult methods?”

Qin Yang rolled his eyes, fully understanding Li Qinghe’s concerns. “Stop worrying needlessly on my behalf. Go back and contemplate what you’ve learned—don’t randomly browse other Evil Cult arrays.”

Those so-called Evil Cult arrays were actually byproducts of his recent observations of the Blood Spirit Formation.

Understanding one principle unlocks ten thousand methods.

Qin Yang believed that while he might never use those arrays, it was prudent to have a thorough understanding and preparation.

Even if unused, it was essential to guard against potential threats!

“Oh,”

Li Qinghe scratched her head sheepishly, responding with half-comprehension, and dared not speak further.

In the following days.

Qin Yang spent his days cultivating at home while guiding Elder Li and the others in comprehending the Law Heart.

At night, he took time to visit Lishui Lake’s depths, observing and researching ways to improve the Blood Spirit Formation.

Days passed one after another.

On this particular night.

The surface of Lishui Lake shimmered with ripples.

The moonlight was hazy, like a white veil.

Qin Yang sat cross-legged on the dark sand at the lake bottom, his body glowing with a blood-red radiance. As he circulated his Law Power, he attempted to connect with the Blood Spirit Formation.

Just then.

Suddenly, an aura invaded his spiritual domain.

Fierce and terrifying!

Qin Yang jerked his head up, gazing toward the surface of Lishui Lake as if sensing something. Without hesitation, he shot upward.

Boom!

The lake surface churned violently!The moment he broke through the lake’s surface, he finally saw who had arrived.

A blood-colored figure hovered above the water, robes swaying in the wind, wild black hair flowing like ink—it was the long-unseen Beast God!

He stood quietly on the lake’s surface now.

In the distance, the sentry posts set up by the Police Inspector still had their signal lights on, and the patrol teams around the lake were still working.

Yet no one had noticed his presence!

Somehow, this guy had managed to sneak here without a sound!

“As expected, relying on them is still too unreliable.”

Qin Yang frowned slightly, keeping a wary eye on the Beast God’s every move, though he wasn’t particularly surprised. “As expected of the Celestial Venerable Realm, coming and going as he pleases.”

As these thoughts crossed his mind—

A terrifying aura surged forth.

The Beast God also locked onto Qin Yang’s presence, his eyes flashing with red light, but he remained silent, simply staring intently at Qin Yang, as if lost in thought.

The surface of Lishui Lake was eerily quiet.

“What, looking for another fight?”

Qin Yang met his gaze steadily, unyielding. He flexed his fingers and raised an eyebrow, staring back at the Beast God.

“You’d better think carefully. The Blood Spirit Formation is right beneath us. If we end up fighting and the formation gets damaged, I won’t take any responsibility.”

“……”

“……”

The lake surface remained silent.

The evening breeze stirred the Beast God’s beard and hair.

The auras of two Celestial Venerables condensed, causing the celestial phenomena around them to shift.

In no time, dark clouds gathered above their heads, the sky churned, and a thunderstorm began to pour down without warning.

The world was awash in glistening water.

At this very moment of standoff—

The Beast God suddenly struck out with a palm strike he had been charging, aiming directly at Qin Yang.

The wind and rain shifted abruptly, and within the curtain of rain, a mountain-like giant palm materialized, slowly pressing toward Qin Yang, drawing countless water vapors along with it!

Silent and formless, it cut through the rain, yet carried a hundredfold hidden killing intent!

“……”

Seeing this, Qin Yang frowned and immediately activated his Star Power to counter.

He pointed a finger in response.

The next moment—

Finger and palm clashed head-on!

Boom!

The two attacks collided and intertwined.

Thunder roared incessantly in the sky, as if countless bolts of lightning were leaping among the clouds. Howling winds whipped up the lake water, sending waves crashing outward.

The downpour seemed to pause for an instant—

Then continued to pour down relentlessly.

The brief confrontation dissipated without a trace, as if nothing had happened.

“Such powerful Star Power.”

In the rain, the Beast God’s hand trembled slightly, his eyelids twitching. Yao Yao scrutinized Qin Yang from head to toe, a trace of imperceptible shock flashing in her eyes:

“He really has broken through to Mid-Celestial Venerable.”

A Celestial Venerable so young was simply unbelievable.

Even in the Upper Realm, such talents were rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!

If he were to use secret arts like last time, Qin Yang’s current strength would undoubtedly be on par with his own!

“Not good, this is really not good…”

The Beast God grew uneasy, beginning to panic.

After all, his purpose here wasn’t to fight Qin Yang but to gauge his strength.

And from their brief exchange, he had already grasped the situation.

What unsettled him even more was the aura beneath the surface of Lishui Lake!

From that momentary sensing, the Beast God keenly detected that there were several Celestial Venerable experts stationed at the bottom of Lishui Lake!

All of them were at the early-stage level, their gazes fixed intently on him.

If he were to push things further, those Celestial Venerables at the lake bottom would likely rush out immediately and intervene directly.”I never expected Earth Star to have changed so drastically? Where did all these Celestial Venerables come from?”

At this thought, the Beast God grew uneasy and doubtful.

If even Qin Yang had reached Mid-Celestial Venerable realm, what about the hidden leader of the Exploding Heavens Gang behind him?

He must be at least as powerful, if not more!
