Qin Jin’s voice was steady; this was not a polite refusal, but rather an objective fact.

Under Ji Yuan’s gaze, he reached a conclusion: "In this situation, I cannot decide the specific candidates for crossing tribulation."

"However..."

His voice became more earnest as he slowly said, "In this cultivation at the Heaven-Filling Dojo, having received Martial God’s secret technique, I can be considered half a disciple of the dojo and am willing to exert some effort."

"Elder Ji."

He addressed Ji Yuan, but his gaze was directed towards the elder not far away.

The elder appeared resigned as if he had already come to terms with everything, showing no anxiety despite this being a matter of life and death for him.

Qin Jin pondered for a moment: "I will utilize my channels to report information about this elder."

"Following the planet’s mystical manifestation, the first batch to receive participation qualifications were meritorious figures from the Federation Military Department."

He looked at the elder: "The Heaven-Filling Dojo stands at this Land of the Abyss, the previous Grandmaster must also have fought at the Civilization Battlefield for the Federation, so he likely fulfills the conditions."

At this point.

Qin Jin paused and said no more.

Ji Yuan’s face briefly showed contemplation as he looked at Qin Jin, solemnly saying: "No matter the outcome, Qin Jin, both I and Heaven-Filling Dojo owe you a debt of gratitude."

Although Qin Jin did not directly agree, he was willing to help and also pointed out the path for him.

The Heaven-Filling Dojo stands here, with generations of disciples and strong individuals having rushed to the Civilization Battlefield, maintaining close relations with the Federation Military Department, thus providing the easiest way to receive participation.

"Elder, you are too kind."

Qin Jin replied with a nod.

Just then.

Nearby, an elder who had been silently observing spoke: "It’s burdensome for you, thinking on behalf of my old bones."

"Qin Jin."

He changed the subject: "You have already obtained the Secret Scroll of Weapon Casting; next, with your ongoing research and cultivation, you’ll be able to uncover deeper information."

"That scroll residing in your Spiritual World is not just Martial Arts heritage but has other ingenious benefits."

Qin Jin seemed to ponder.

The Martial God’s legacy must be extraordinary, not to mention that this Soldier Record was crafted at the peak of Mi Tian Martial God’s creativity, certainly containing other methods.

Upon leaving the Celestial Spine Divine Soldiers, it signifies the completion of this secret technique transmission.

After exchanging a few more words, Qin Jin did not linger; he glanced at the Celestial Ridge Divine Weapon suspended in mid-air, then left the canyon. Outside the canyon, a designated guide awaited to lead him back to his place.

...

Upon returning home, Qin Jin promptly used his channels to submit information on the previous Grandmaster of Heaven-Filling Dojo.

During his time on Thunder Star, he had hosted meritorious participants from the Federation involved in the planet’s mystical events, thus he had contact details of relevant persons.

He was always true to his word, having agreed, he fulfilled his promise, regardless of the outcome, which was not for Qin Jin to concern himself with.

Having cultivated within the Celestial Ridge Divine Weapon for several days, Qin Jin found numerous unviewed messages in his terminal, which he perused one by one, responding to them. His gaze settled on one particular message.

The message source was none other than Teacher Chu, Chu Tianyi.

After their last encounter, due to events in the Spiritual Realm, Teacher Chu had hurriedly departed. Now, the message sent contained nothing else but a document.

Qin Jin raised an eyebrow, opened it for viewing, discovering it was akin to a thesis discussing the Spiritual Realm.

"The ebb and flow of the Spiritual Realm’s tides are closely related to the quantity and quality of Spiritualists."

Flipping through the pages, browsing seriously, Qin Jin let out a long breath.

According to this article, in the Spiritual Realm that mirrors the Real Universe, every so often, in certain places, Spiritual Energy tides erupt. Post-tide, the spiritual power in the affected region rapidly grows, allowing Spiritualists in the corresponding real-world locations a smoother cultivation experience.

Similarly.

Spiritual tides are not without cause; as evidenced by Federation’s statistical records in the article, each burst of Spiritual Energy tides is preceded by a surge period of [Spiritualists] in the mirrored world.

It seems.

The increase in Spiritualist numbers influences changes in the Spiritual Realm.

"It seems these are analogous to the relationships between Celestial Cyan Cultivator and the world."

"The Spiritual Realm selects Spiritualists, and their cultivation influences the Spiritual Realm."

"Thus, upon entering the Spiritual Realm, I received spiritual affinity exactly because my life essence had continually enhanced to meet spiritual requirements, even exceeding them, leading to that occurrence."

"As for the reason for inherent repulsion..."

Qin Jin’s eyes narrowed: "Perhaps it is because I have already forged a connection with the piece of world where the Great Wilderness resides?"

Thoughts swirled.

Qin Jin attempted to contact Teacher Chu.

The result indicated that the other party was not in a communicable area.

"Teacher Chu seems highly invested in this matter."

Murmuring to himself, Qin Jin recalled the initial question Chu Tianyi posed to Your Excellency the Observer.

"Within Spiritual Energy, does life exist?"

This was a question Chu Tianyi deeply cared about, having chosen to ask it upon facing Divine Spirit.

"If life exists within Spiritual Energy, or if Spiritual Energy itself is [life]..."

Thoughts flashed through Qin Jin’s mind, he ceased thinking further.

This matter is something he could keep an eye on, but not one he could delve deeply into at his current stage.
