The opportunity was in Kunlun Valley.

Unlike Qin Haishan, the opportunity Qi Qingsi needed was at the ruins of the Kunlun Sect, hidden within a Saint Divine Ability.

The divine ability cultivated by this Saint was somewhat similar to Qi Qingsi's own Dao.

The System determined that with Qi Qingsi's aptitude, as long as she could comprehend the divine ability, breaking through to the Divine Realm would be a matter of course.

This was the difference between a chosen one of heaven and a common mortal.

Qin Haishan's aptitude was dull. Reaching Divine Tribulation Realm Perfection was already his limit. Only with the help of Divine Pills and divine medicines could he barely manage to become a Heavenly God.

Qi Qingsi only needed a catalyst.

The Saint Divine Ability was that very catalyst.

Ye Xu was ecstatic.

He had spent 1,200 Heavenly Secrets Points, but ended up killing two birds with one stone, gaining 8,000 Heavenly Secrets Points for nothing.

"May I ask the Pavilion Master if there is an opportunity suitable for me?" Qi Qingsi inquired.

Ye Xu remained impassive, but his heart was racing with excitement.

He said lightly, "Of course, there is an opportunity suitable for you."

"And it is in Kunlun Valley."

"Kunlun Valley?"

Qi Qingsi frowned. She had never heard of this place and figured it must be a Secret Realm that had yet to emerge.

"Why there?" Ye Xian'er looked at Ye Xu in surprise. "Senior, isn't Kunlun Valley the opportunity you told Qin Haishan to seize?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qi Qingsi's expression immediately turned strange, filled with vigilance.

Ye Xu smiled and said, "Who said there's only one opportunity for godhood in Kunlun Valley?"

"Qin Haishan needs the Seven Stars Heavenly Treasure Divine Lotus. What you need, fellow Daoist, is not a divine medicine, but a catalyst—a catalyst for you to achieve an epiphany and ascend to godhood."

Ye Xian'er was completely lost.

Qi Hongchou seemed to only half-understand.

Of course, the two of them treated Ye Xu's words as gospel, without a shred of doubt.

Only Qi Qingsi truly understood what Ye Xu meant.

Kunlun Valley had a divine medicine, but that was prepared for the dull-witted Qin Haishan. The opportunity she sought was also there, but even if it were placed right in front of Qin Haishan, he wouldn't be able to obtain it.

This insight made Qi Qingsi feel a sense of awe toward Ye Xu.

However, she still couldn't be sure if Ye Xu was trying to trick her.

"The Kunlun Sect of the past was a great power, but it's truly tragic that it was obliterated by a single Saint Divine Ability."

Ye Xu rose, clasping his hands behind his back, his eyes as deep as a starry sky.

Qi Qingsi's delicate body trembled slightly.

The reason for the Kunlun Sect's destruction had always been a mystery.

But Ye Xu had revealed it in a single sentence.

"Fellow Daoist, my reason for choosing Kunlun Valley was also for your sake." Ye Xu said softly, "To repay enmity with enmity, and grievances with grievances..."

"May I ask the Pavilion Master, what exactly is this opportunity?" Qi Qingsi cut Ye Xu off, her breathing quickening. Her tone now carried a hint of reverence. Since entering the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, she had psychologically considered herself Ye Xu's equal.

But Ye Xu's words had changed her perspective.

He knew about the feud between her and Qin Haishan.

Thinking deeper...

Ye Xu might even know about her tragic past.

Qi Qingsi's fingers clenched tightly, her nails digging into her flesh, yet she felt nothing.

"The reason everyone yearns for Deducing the Heavenly Dao is because heavenly secrets are profound, allowing one to see all sorts of changes."

"If I spell it all out, it would spoil the fun."

Ye Xu stood with his back to the three of them, exuding the air of a grandmaster.

"You are an intelligent person. Once you enter Kunlun Valley, you will understand."

A Jade Slip flew toward Qi Qingsi.

"Thank you for your guidance, Pavilion Master."

Qi Qingsi caught the Jade Slip, cupped her hands in a salute, and said to Qi Hongchou and Ye Xian'er, "The two of you stay in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and wait for me."

"Master," "Grandmaster, be careful," the two women said in unison.

Qi Qingsi had already transformed into a streak of cyan sword light and flown out of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

"Senior, will Master be in any danger on this trip?" Qi Hongchou asked.

Ye Xu shook his head.

He had seen through all of Qi Qingsi's near-future possibilities. She was in no danger. The one he was worried about now was Qin Haishan.

The two shared a blood feud. If they encountered each other in Kunlun Valley and both ascended to godhood, it would likely become a life-or-death battle.

No matter who won or lost, for Ye Xu, it meant losing a loyal customer.

...

Kunlun Valley.

Riding her Flying Sword, Qi Qingsi arrived at the cliff in a day's time. The Sea of Clouds churned below, vast and endless.

The Void Gate was already open. Qi Qingsi keenly sensed the abnormality in the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

She transformed into a streak of sword light and plunged into the Void Crack.

Wielding the Array-Breaking Secret Method, Qi Qingsi, just like Qin Haishan, entered through the array's Gate of Life and easily passed through the Great Five Elements Sword Array.

"The Master of Heavenly Secrets Pavilion didn't lie to me," Qi Qingsi thought to herself.

This Great Five Elements Sword Array was a Divine-Grade Array, the former Sect-Protecting Grand Array of the Kunlun Sect.

An ordinary place would not be concealed by a divine array.

After passing through the Great Five Elements Sword Array, Qi Qingsi also saw a paradise-like scene. But deeper within, it was a land of deathly silence where not a single blade of grass grew.

She had arrived before the ruins of the Kunlun Sect.

The Kunlun Sect ruins were dilapidated. Hall after hall was in a state of decay, on the verge of collapse at any moment.

What was even more terrifying was the aura it contained.

It was an aura of deathly silence and despair, as if it had suffered a Heavenly Condemnation, devoid of any life.

"This aura... it's very similar to my Supreme Heartless Seal," Qi Qingsi murmured.

*Boom!*

Suddenly.

A majestic aura erupted from the rear mountain of the Kunlun Sect. Divine Radiance suffused the air, and divine light filled the sky.

Qi Qingsi saw a figure seated cross-legged on a Lotus Throne. A magnificent Dao Palace floated in the sky, with seven stars revolving around it.

Inside the Dao Palace, a massive Origin Soul sat in a lotus position. It was a divine being with feet on two fire dragons, its entire body wreathed in divine fire. Streaks of Divine Runes coiled around the Origin Soul and began to sink into the physical body.

These were Law Divine Runes, transitioning into the physical body.

Once the physical body was imprinted with the Law Divine Runes, every move would carry the might of laws. It would become Transcendent and divine, breaking the limits of a mortal vessel.

Evidently, Qin Haishan had consumed the seven Lotus Seeds and was now refining their power.

He was in such a hurry that he hadn't set up any defensive measures. Qin Haishan had no idea that Qi Qingsi had entered Kunlun Valley.

In Qin Haishan's mind, Kunlun Valley was an undiscovered Secret Realm in a remote location. It was impossible for anyone to come here.

And he only needed a few days to refine the Seven Stars Heavenly Treasure Divine Lotus and ascend to godhood in one fell swoop.

No one would be able to disturb him.

How could he have ever imagined that Ye Xu would kill two birds with one stone?

"Should I make a move now and kill Qin Haishan?"

Qi Qingsi concealed her aura, but killing intent brewed in her heart.

Qin Haishan was at a critical moment in his breakthrough. If she launched a sneak attack, there was a fifty percent chance she could kill him and avenge her past.

"The odds are too low."

Qi Qingsi shook her head, abandoning the thought.

"If I ascend to godhood, killing Qin Haishan will be as easy as flipping my hand."

Qi Qingsi, who would ascend to godhood through her own power without external aid, would definitely be far stronger than Qin Haishan once she became a Heavenly God.

At that time, she would have a ninety percent chance of victory.

There was no need to take the risk now.

"My opportunity must lie within the divine ability that annihilated the Kunlun Sect."

Qi Qingsi was extremely intelligent. After discovering the similarity between the Saint Divine Ability and her Supreme Heartless Seal, she immediately guessed where her opportunity lay.

The Supreme Heartless Seal was her innate divine ability.

If she could comprehend even a sliver of its mysteries from the Saint Divine Ability, her Supreme Chapter of Emotionless Dao would reach a higher level, allowing her to break through and become a Heavenly God.

Qi Qingsi strode toward the ruins of the Kunlun Sect.

Forging ahead without hesitation.
