Feeling Qin Hanchu land on its back, the ferocious bird immediately shot into the sky.
Qin Hanchu had already anticipated the ferocious bird's next move. He swiftly drew his dagger and plunged it into the bird's body.
The ferocious bird shrieked and violently flipped, attempting to shake Qin Hanchu off.
Qin Hanchu tightly gripped the bird's feathers and the dagger lodged in its body. No matter how the bird flipped, he remained plastered to its back.
As the ferocious bird soared into the air, the beasts on the ground no longer posed a threat to Qin Hanchu.
But at this moment, new ferocious birds appeared in the sky. These newcomers had already set their sights on Qin Hanchu.
Whoosh!
The ferocious bird beneath Qin Hanchu performed increasingly daring aerial maneuvers, trying to violently fling him off.
Just then, the bird suddenly plummeted downwards!
Qin Hanchu looked towards the ground and saw dozens of beasts closely following.
Once the ferocious bird landed, Qin Hanchu would face an onslaught from the beast pack.
Qin Hanchu opened his palm and then hurled a ball of flames onto the ferocious bird.
Whoosh…
The bird's feathers immediately ignited.
Sensing the fire on its body, the ferocious bird hastily flew towards a nearby lake.
To survive, the ferocious bird reached its peak flying speed.
Although the beasts below were fast, they could not match the ferocious bird's flight speed.
As the ferocious bird dove towards the lake, Qin Hanchu suddenly leaped into the mountain forest.
At that very moment, other ferocious birds swooped towards Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu pulled out his armor-piercing pistol and began firing at the approaching birds.
While these bullets could not injure the ferocious birds, which were comparable to Martial Emperors and Martial Venerables, they could hinder their flight speed.
Finally, Qin Hanchu landed in the mountain forest.
Using the trees for cover, Qin Hanchu rapidly fled.
Although the ferocious birds had sharp eyesight, the dense canopy obscured them, causing them to lose track of Qin Hanchu.
In a moment of extreme peril, Qin Hanchu finally escaped the pursuit of the beasts.
A few days later, Black Tower's aircraft arrived based on Qin Hanchu's location.
Upon returning to Black Wind Mountain, Qin Hanchu immediately summoned the white-haired elder and others.
"The cultivation techniques in this book can temper your elemental power. The higher the quality of your elemental power, the stronger your combat ability will naturally be."
"Once you cultivate your elemental power to its peak, I will help you break through to the Great Perfection of Martial God."
"The pill recipes in this book will make it easier for cultivators below the Martial King realm to reach the Martial King realm. From today onwards, accelerate the cultivation of Martial Kings."
"I will lead you to break through to the Spirit realm and unify the underground world."
Qin Hanchu needed more cultivators to help him slay the ferocious beasts surrounding the World Tree.
Those beasts were very powerful, so Qin Hanchu had to cultivate his subordinates.
With powerful cultivation techniques and high-quality elixirs, the strength of Black Tower's cultivators would rapidly improve.
Once Black Tower's strength completely surpassed the Martial Arts Administration, the latter's fate would be annexation.
Hearing Qin Hanchu's words, the white-haired elder and the others were filled with excitement.
They quickly took the cultivation techniques and pill recipes from Qin Hanchu.
"Understood, we will do as you say," the Tower Master said excitedly.
"I will be going into seclusion. Do not disturb me."
Qin Hanchu did not interfere too much with Black Tower's management. After giving his orders, he returned to his "cave abode" and began his seclusion.
Aided by the elixirs he had previously refined, Qin Hanchu's cultivation speed was incredibly fast.
In just half a month, he reached the Martial Venerable realm.
After finishing the elixirs, Qin Hanchu began refining more pills.
Qin Hanchu was now the Lord of Black Tower, and all of Black Tower's resources were at his disposal.
With ample medicinal ingredients, Qin Hanchu only needed to focus on refining pills.
Refining pills, breaking through realms!
Qin Hanchu was either cultivating or refining pills; he rarely even left his cave abode.
While Qin Hanchu was in seclusion, Black Tower clashed with the Martial Arts Administration.
Previously, the two sides were evenly matched, but now Black Tower had surpassed the Martial Arts Administration.
As the balance of power shifted, this conflict became inevitable.
Despite Black Tower's growing martial strength, completely annexing the Martial Arts Administration was not an easy task.
After a year of seclusion, Qin Hanchu's cultivation finally reached the peak of Martial God.
Currently, Black Tower possessed ten Martial realm experts, and the number of Grandmasters had more than doubled.
The best elixir for breaking through to the Spirit King realm was the Soul Sustaining Pill, and its primary ingredient was the Soul Grass.
Although Black Tower's influence was considerable, their medicinal ingredient stores did not contain Soul Grass.
According to Black Tower's records, Soul Grass only grew near the World Tree.
The area around the World Tree was too perilous, and neither Black Tower nor the Martial Arts Administration dared to approach it.
To refine the Soul Sustaining Pill, Qin Hanchu had to find Soul Grass. Qin Hanchu now possessed the strength to crush ferocious beasts, and he could even defeat top-tier ferocious beasts with overwhelming force.
Before leaving, Qin Hanchu had one more thing to do.
That was to unify the underground world's factions and merge Black Tower with the Martial Arts Administration.
In the dead of night, a shadow infiltrated the forbidden area of the Martial Arts Administration.
Similar to Black Tower, the core experts of the Martial Arts Administration were cultivating in this forbidden area.
The forbidden area was surrounded by many sentries, but they were completely unaware of Qin Hanchu's infiltration.
Twenty minutes later, Qin Hanchu entered a fenced courtyard.
This courtyard was home to the strongest individuals of the Martial Arts Administration.
"Ye Mingyue, come out and meet me," Qin Hanchu said calmly, standing in the courtyard.
Creak!
The wooden door quickly opened, and an old woman walked out, her face filled with shock.
She was a Martial Emperor-level expert, yet she had not sensed Qin Hanchu's approach.
"Who are you?" Ye Mingyue asked Qin Hanchu in shock.
Qin Hanchu smiled and said, "The Martial Arts Administration's intelligence capabilities are truly disappointing. Do you still not know why Black Tower has risen?"
"Is it because of you?"
Qin Hanchu: "You guessed correctly. It is precisely because of me that Black Tower's cultivators are becoming stronger."
"You want us, the Martial Arts Administration, to submit, don't you?" Ye Mingyue had already guessed Qin Hanchu's intention.
Qin Hanchu replied, "I hope you can merge with Black Tower. If you agree to merge, I can grant you the benefits you deserve."
"Such as?"
"Longevity Pills, top-tier cultivation techniques, and the opportunity to become Spirit realm cultivators!" As he spoke, Qin Hanchu tossed a bottle of elixirs to Ye Mingyue. "Your vitality is also waning. This bottle of Longevity Pills is a token of my goodwill."
Ye Mingyue accepted the Longevity Pills and asked in shock, "Aren't you afraid I'll call people to detain you at the Martial Arts Administration?"
"Since I dared to come here, do you think I would be afraid of your ambush?"
As Qin Hanchu finished speaking, a terrifying aura erupted from his body!
