"Can you really help me reach the Innate Realm?"

Xun Hanyan looked at Qin Heng incredulously. She was well aware of her own Martial Dao cultivation level: she hadn't even reached the peak of the Transcendence Realm, and stepping into the Innate Realm was still a long way off.

Qin Heng actually claimed he could make her an Innate Grandmaster in a single night?

How could that be possible!?

It wasn't that Xun Hanyan disbelieved Qin Heng; it was just that his claim was too world-shattering, too unbelievable!

That was the Innate Realm!

It involved connecting with Heaven and Earth externally, manifesting one's inner landscape, breaking through the profound barrier, and erecting the Heavenly Earthly Bridge. Inner Strength transformed into Innate True Qi, even granting the ability to command the forces of nature and achieve levitation and flight!

In the eyes of ordinary people, that was akin to the stature of an Immortal!

Countless Martial Artists yearned for such a realm, such a level. Yet, throughout history, those who truly stepped into the Innate Realm were exceedingly few!

In China's secular martial arts world, the only Innate Grandmasters were Xu He from Jade Emperor Palace and a few old recluses who had been in seclusion for so long their status—alive or dead—was unknown.

Even within the Xun family, a Martial Dao lineage tracing back thousands of years to the Warring States period and enduring into the modern era, there were merely four or five Innate Grandmasters in this End of Dharma Age!

Becoming Innate in one night?

That was something only an Immortal could achieve!

If Qin Heng hadn't been Zhuo Yutong's friend, and if she hadn't previously witnessed his extraordinary strength and potent Secret Techniques, Xun Hanyan would never have believed him!

Because it was truly too absurd.

Even Zhuo Yutong found it hard to believe. Looking at Qin Heng, she asked, "Qin Heng, were you serious just now? Can you really help Han Yan become an Innate Grandmaster overnight?"

She was very close to Xun Hanyan and knew a great deal about Martial Dao, so naturally, she understood the significance of the Innate Realm!

It was the beginning of becoming Transcendent and saintly!

It was also the true starting point of the Martial Dao journey. The path to the Innate Realm was the gateway to ascension!

Stepping into the Innate Realm meant ascending to the heavens!

For Qin Heng to say he could make Xun Hanyan Innate in one night was tantamount to saying he could help her ascend to the heavens in a single step!

It was too incredible.

"My word is my bond," Qin Heng said with a slight nod. "Let's move to another table for dinner. Tonight, we'll go to the hotel, and I will help you step into the Innate Realm."

He spoke very casually, as if helping her step into the Innate Realm was as simple as helping her solve a math problem.

His nonchalant attitude made Xun Hanyan feel a profound sense of unreality. That was the Innate Realm! A realm countless Martial Artists strove for their entire lives, exhausting all their efforts and resources, yet failed to reach!

How could it sound so trivial coming from Qin Heng?

However, she suddenly realized something else. Her beautiful face flushed crimson, and she looked at Qin Heng, stunned. "You... you just said... go to a hotel tonight?"

Tonight? A hotel?

Those two words combined could easily lead one's thoughts astray.

Was it really to break through to the Innate Realm?

"Qin Heng, you're not planning anything improper, are you?" Zhuo Yutong also caught on, glaring at him with her beautiful eyes. "Han Yan is my best friend!"

"The Innate Realm is within your grasp. Whether you seize this opportunity is up to you," Qin Heng smiled at Xun Hanyan. "Tonight, at the Hilton Hotel on Prosperous Road. If you come, I can help you step into the Innate Realm."

"You!" Zhuo Yutong grew anxious. She stood up abruptly, staring at Qin Heng. "Qin Heng! Han Yan is in a desperate situation! Are you trying to take advantage of her predicament?"

"Yutong... stop," Xun Hanyan suddenly interjected. "I believe an expert like Qin Heng wouldn't stoop to taking advantage of someone. I'll remember: the Hilton Hotel on Prosperous Road. I will be there."

"I'll go with you!" Zhuo Yutong said hastily, her feelings now somewhat complicated.

"You can both come," Qin Heng smiled casually. "A mere Innate Realm cultivator is nothing but an ant to me. If I weren't concerned about causing a global sensation, I could help you step through the gates of the Innate Realm this very moment."

The lowest level of the Innate Realm is merely equivalent to the seventh layer of Qi Refinement.

For someone like Qin Heng, an Immortal Emperor reincarnated and undergoing tribulation refinement, it hardly even counted as an entry-level realm. Even though his current cultivation was only at the peak of Qi Refinement, all his Dao insights and experience remained.

Helping a Grandmaster of Transcendence, equivalent to the fifth layer of Qi Refinement, step into the Innate Realm, equivalent to the seventh layer, was truly simple for him. It would take almost no effort at all.

Xun Hanyan and Zhuo Yutong were left speechless. They were utterly at a loss for words.

Qin Heng's attitude was too shocking. To think he considered Innate cultivators mere ants?

That was incredibly arrogant.

Qin Heng, when you defeated Cheng Longting, who was half a step into the Innate Realm, you clearly used a Secret Technique that came at a great personal cost!

Xun Hanyan still believed that Qin Heng had defeated Cheng Longting by employing a special Secret Technique, and that his true strength was still at the Transcendence Realm.

As for the method to help her break through to the Innate Realm, Xun Hanyan suspected it was likely some kind of secret art that would overdraft her life force or potential, granting her temporary Innate-level power, but not true entry into the Innate Realm.

After all, that was the Innate Realm—the lifelong pursuit of countless Martial Artists!

How could it be so easy to truly enter it!

Nevertheless, Xun Hanyan decided to agree to Qin Heng's proposal. As long as she could possess Innate-level power, as long as she could defeat Xun Hanying, she was willing to pay any price!

"Qin Heng, let's proceed as you've said. We will go to the hotel tonight."

Xun Hanyan took a deep breath. "I hope you're not deceiving me. Even if I cannot truly step into the Innate Realm, please grant me Innate-level power."

Then, she said no more.

The three of them exchanged glances without another word, then found another table and ordered their meal.

「On the other side.」

After leaving the Jinyang Restaurant, the more Xun Hanying thought about Qin Heng's attitude, the angrier he got.

A measly little ant!

Daring to be disrespectful to him, an Innate Grandmaster!

It was simply courting death!!

"Heh heh, you little bastard, did you really think I'd wait until tomorrow?" A chill flashed in Xun Hanying's eyes as he snorted coldly. "Men! Investigate that brat's background. Focus on his friends!"

"Yes!" The air beside Xun Hanying suddenly distorted. A figure clad in white and wearing a mask materialized, took out a mobile phone, and sent a message.

He had apparently been invisible, not revealing himself under normal circumstances.

This was one of the Xun family's Shadow Servants: powerful, untraceable, and typically responsible for assassinations and intelligence gathering.

In modern times, leveraging various networks and technological tools, the investigative capabilities of these Shadow Servants were even more formidable. They quickly unearthed some information about Qin Heng.

"Reporting to Young Master," the white-clad, masked man said to Xun Hanying after receiving a message on his phone. "At Beijing University's College of Literature, a female student named Wang Ruoxi is suspected to be Qin Heng's friend. They came to Beijing University together."

"Good," Xun Hanying nodded, sneering. "This girl named Wang Ruoxi is pretty, isn't she?"

"Indeed," the masked man nodded, showing Xun Hanying his phone screen. "Young Master, please look. This is Wang Ruoxi."

"Indeed." Xun Hanying gazed at Wang Ruoxi's photo and smiled cruelly. "Let's go. We're heading to Beijing University to kill her!"
